JACKSON, Mississippi (AP) ― Nick Taylor was down on his game over the summer, struggling with his putter as he fought to earn a PGA Tour card.
So even he was a little stunned Sunday when he was holding a big bronze rooster and celebrating a comeback victory in the Sanderson Farms Championship.
The 26-year-old Taylor overcame a four-shot deficit at the Country Club of Jackson, shooting a 6-under 66 on Sunday for a two-stroke victory over Boo Weekley and Jason Bohn. Taylor is the first Canadian-born winner on the PGA Tour since Mike Weir in 2007.
"It's kind of hard to believe that I'm in that category now," Taylor said.
Taylor, who said he grew up admiring Weir, won the tournament with nearly flawless work on the greens.
He played the front nine in 4 under to pull even with the leaders and took control with birdies on Nos. 13, 14 and 15. He made four birdies from 15 feet or more, charging up the leaderboard and then staying at the top.
Even though it was just his 13th PGA Tour start ― and seventh as a professional ― he handled the final holes with little drama. He calmly made a 9-foot putt to save par on No. 16 and his tap-in for bogey on 18 was easily good enough for the win.
"Going into today, I was feeling good about my game," Taylor said. "But until it really happens, you never really expect it. It's very surreal. I putted unbelievable today."
A former University of Washington player from Abbotsford, British Columbia, Taylor three-putted for bogey on No. 18 after taking a three-shot lead into the final hole. He finished at 16-under 272 and earned $720,000.
Weekley had a bogey-free 66, and Bohn shot 69.
"I didn't drive the ball as well as I wanted the first three days and kind of worked on some things yesterday and it came together today," Weekley said.
But nobody was catching Taylor.
John Rollins had a two-shot lead coming into Sunday, but faded with a 73 to tie for fourth at 13 under with Peter Uihlein (65) and Justin Thomas (67).
Taylor started the day among a clump of contenders, but quickly moved to the forefront with three birdies on the first five holes. And it was his recently-found touch on the greens that helped him rally.

The musical will be assigned a professional Director/ Choreographer, Musical Director, and Stage Manager.
The Scratchpad Series, our newest program, jumpstarts The Realm's relationship with early-career playwrights by doing one of the things we do best: listening to what playwrights need and then giving it to them. Whether it's a place to hear a rough draft aloud for the first time, space to fine tune a more mature work or time to focus in on a particular aspect of a piece, we want to give playwrights what they need to thrive. Scratchpad is a chance for us to engage with a whole new group of playwrights each year, erasing limitations of geography or access by working to identify early career playwrights from all across the country to participate.
London Horror Festival
Following the success of last year's festival, the Old Red Lion Theatre in Angel will play host to the LHF for a second year. We welcome a broad range of horror theatre, comedy, magic, and performance art, from psychological spine-chillers to all-out splatter, improvised ghost stories to grotesque stand-up and séance magic to body horror, and almost anything else imaginable.

The holiday, which is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May originated as Decoration Day after the American Civil War in 1868, when the Grand Army of the Republic, an organization of Union veterans founded in Decatur, Illinois, established it as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the Union war dead with flowers.
Lesson Plan: Civil War Play
Goals: Students will identify and connect with the real people of the Civil War in a variety of ways.
1. Students will learn and appreciate the fact that the war involved friends fighting against friends.
2. Students will be able to identify three different roles that women played in the Civil War.
3. Students will be able to discern which details of the play are true and which are added for literary purposes.
4. Students will use what they have learned to find appropriate costumes, props, and make scenery appropriate to the time period.
The Association of Lincoln Presenters
Puts on a show that includes a Union soldier. Lincoln tells how a poor boy made good and encourages honesty, reading, and integrity. The Union soldier tells of camp life. We use history, music, and humor, to K thru 8th grade students. We also play at birthday parties and special events. Lincoln also speaks at luncheons and special events. Don got his start as Lincoln several years ago by being talked into it by his friends after he had allowed his sideburns to meet in the center of his chin. He then hit the books and began to study about Lincoln and the Civil War and gaining experience portraying at re-enactments. Don met Roger Knox (Union) at a re-enactment and formed up as a very successful team to bring history alive in an unique way to the delight of students and teachers alike.
'The Civil War' a musical kickoff to Dover's 300th birthday
Tommye Staley, a theater buff, teacher and director of half a century, has spearheaded a project to bring the musical "The Civil War" to the stage in Dover this weekend and next.
Born to a history teacher, Ms. Staley learned about the Civil War at a young age and developed an interest that followed her into adulthood.
She has taught for 50 years and officially retired Thursday. She has taught 40 years at Milford High School and 16 at Wesley College. Bringing the former Broadway show written by Gregory Boyd and Frank Wildhorn to the Schwartz Center of the Arts was an idea Ms. Staley conjured up on her own.
"I saw the mayor at the Martin Luther King Jr. Prayer Breakfast and he started talking to me about Dover celebrating its 300th birthday this year and I realized that this would be a great way to kick off the celebration," she said.
"We used to do Civil War reenactments together, but it's very time consuming so we stopped a couple years ago. But it's great to be working on a musical about the Civil War."
Row After Row tells the story of two Civil War reenactors, Tom and Cal, who have been friends since the sixth grade. Every year these two longtime friends meet in Gettysburg to take part in the reenactment of Pickett's Charge. This year, the two friends head to a local tavern they frequent and they meet Leah, who disrupts their world and opens up a broad discussion about life and what it means to be a reenactor. According to People's Light & Theatre Company's press release the playwright of Row After Row, Jessica Dickey, says, "I was always so intrigued by the idea of the presence of the past, the ghosts of the past. Having grown up next door from Gettysburg and the Mason Dixon Line, the Civil War has always loomed large for me. I wrote Row After Row because I felt the need to explore the themes of the Civil War without the clichés of the political or historical, but through the personal-- the lens of these characters." Dickey does just this in the play she explores personal meanings of Civil War reenacting, and captures the essence of this beautifully in the play.
John Wilkes Booth, actor
Booth was born into a prominent family of actors. According to Alford, he had good looks and an exceptional acting range, playing both dark roles as bad guys and softer roles such as Romeo. By 1865, the 26-year-old was a headliner on the American stage. As Alford tells Morning Edition's Renee Montagne, Booth was the first actor known to have "had his clothes torn by fans."
"When he was coming out of a theater in Boston, the manager had to come back and tell people, 'Back up, let him out, just let him walk to his hotel.' "
Alford says it's interesting that, "over the years, as people felt free to talk about Booth, and while they shrank away from what he did, they didn't really shrink from him. They remembered things about him like courtesies and acts of heroism."
Like this example: "One time onstage, he saved a young woman whose dress caught on fire," he says, "a young actress who had wandered too close to the gas footlights."
Our American Cousin is a three-act play by English playwright Tom Taylor. The play is a farce whose plot is based on the introduction of an awkward, boorish, but honest American, Asa Trenchard, to his aristocratic English relatives when he goes to England to claim the family estate. The play first premiered at Laura Keene's Theatre in New York City on October 15, 1858, and the title character was first played by Joseph Jefferson. Although the play achieved great renown during its first few years and remained very popular throughout the second half of the 19th century, it is best remembered as the play U.S. President Abraham Lincoln was attending in Ford's Theatre when he was assassinated by actor and Confederate sympathizer John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.
Script for OUR AMERICAN COUSIN
Suzan-Lori Parks stages the fight for freedom in her new Civil War-set play
Playwright Suzan-Lori Parks is far too independent an artist to feel comfortable in the role of African American spokesperson. But she didn't hold back when asked for her thoughts about the controversy over Hollywood's diversity problem that came to a head with another overwhelmingly white edition of the Academy Awards.
At lunch at the trendy Bowery Hotel not far from the Public Theater, where her heralded drama "Father Comes Home From the Wars (Parts 1, 2 & 3)" had its 2014 world premiere (the play opens Sunday at the Mark Taper Forum), she complimented Chris Rock on the job he did hosting the Oscars. But to the question he posed in his opening monologue — "Is Hollywood racist?" — Parks had a no-nonsense answer.
The Octoroon is a play by Dion Boucicault that opened in 1859 at The Winter Garden Theatre, New York City. Extremely popular, the play was kept running continuously for years by seven road companies.[2] Among antebellum melodramas, it was considered second only in popularity to Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852).[3]
Boucicault adapted the play from the novel The Quadroon by Thomas Mayne Reid (1856). It concerns the residents of a Louisiana plantation called Terrebonne, and sparked debates about the abolition of slavery and the role of theatre in politics. It contains elements of Romanticism and melodrama.
The word octoroon means one-eighth black. A quarter black is a quadroon and a half black is a mulatto.
The Oxford English Dictionary cites The Octoroon with the earliest record of the word "mashup" with the quote: "He don't understand; he speaks a mash up of Indian, French, and Mexican." (Boucicault's manuscript actually reads "Indian, French and 'Merican." The last word, an important colloquialism, was misread by the typesetter of the play.)
...When the play was performed in England it was given a happy ending, in which the mixed-race couple are united. The tragic ending was used for American audiences, to avoid portraying a mixed marriage.[4]

SlurryKat has been appointed to market the US-built Doda green bedding system, designed for use in the dairy, beef and anaerobic digestion sectors, in the UK and Ireland.
Green bedding systems have been on the market for a number of years, however some of them have demonstrated poor performance and dry matter that was not high enough to replace traditional bedding methods such as chopped straw or wood shavings. Green bedding is becoming increasingly popular Ireland and the UK after fuelled by its successful use in the USA and Europe. In Holland, for example, green bedding has been used for several years and more than 5,000 farms have converted to the system.
The new Doda Green bedding system offers many environmental and economic benefits, as well as increasing the health and well-being of the livestock, meaning they perform much better with proven increased production of milk and daily liveweight gains. With the new Doda system it is now easily possible to achieve separated dry matter fibre of approximately 50 per cent.
The benefits associated with the Doda green bedding system include:
- no requirement to buy straw or sawdust for bedding;
- mastitis is reduced with increased milk production;
- increased cow comfort and cleanliness;
- 30 per cent increase in slurry storage capacity;
- reduced need for mixing of slurry after storage;
- phosphorous reduction on the farm;
- reduction of farms carbon footprint; and
- short fibres produced have a greater absorption than straw or sawdust, allowing for cleaner animals, less smell and better general conditions.
What makes the Doda system different from all the other systems on the market is that it has a unique blower system on the discharge of the screw press that lifts the dry matter of the material by approximately 10 per cent and produces an attractive fluffy bedding material that is super absorbent.
The entire Doda system extremely compact and can be easily installed on any farm. Additionally an automated pre mixing system can be added if required for the raw slurry, while the whole system is independently controlled by an automated control panel which can be set to the farms individual needs.
Another unique feature that no other manufacturer can offer is that all the main components of the system are manufactured in 100 per cent stainless steel for long service life in aggressive corrosive material.

I'd like someone with real estate experience to answer this.
We are looking at buying a house and have found one that we really really like. They are asking $ 369,000 for it, it's a little over 70 years old and needs foundation and fireplace repairs that cost $ 70,000 (we had an inspector take a look.) In our state, not sure about others, if there's something that needs to be repaired structurally than either the owners pay for it or it comes out of the asking price. So we made the offer we made and said that this is what we offer and this includes taking out the $ 70,000 in repairs. They said no. Now if we paid the full asking price and they took the repair cost out of the offer than they'd be getting $ 299,000 for. So we're actually offering more than what they'd get anyway. The house has been on the market for almost a year, but hasn't been lived in for longer than that. Why wouldn't an owner sell a house when there's an offer that's more than what they'd get if it was sold at asking price? We have excellent credit and have lived in that neighborhood for almost 40 years. The realtor is trying to get them to realize this is a good offer.
The price of the house has actually gone down four times since it's been on the market and we had their realtor's suggestion of an inspector and our own and they both came up with the same costs. It's also listed as a 3 bedroom, but in reality it's only a 1 bedroom since the other 2 rooms don't have a closet.
Also..the owner's live out of state and haven't been in the house in 5 years.

TAMPA — The Lightning is more than halfway through a five-game homestand it deemed crucial toward a playoff-spot run, and so far, well, so good.
Saturday's win against Carolina gave the Lighting five points through the first three games. The Lightning is two points behind Nos. 2 and 3 Ottawa and Boston in the Atlantic Division and entered Sunday two points back of Philadelphia for the second wild card spot.
"It's a good step in the right direction," wing Alex Killorn said. "You want to get incrementally better in the standings."
Add home wins against Detroit and St. Louis before a quick trip to Washington just before Christmas and the Lightning has recorded nine points in its past five home games. It is an important stretch, coach Jon Cooper said, because waiting for the Lightning this month is a six-game, 13-day trip that crisscrosses the country, beginning Jan. 16 in Los Angeles and ending Jan. 26 in Sunrise, with stops between in Anaheim, San Jose, Arizona and Chicago.
But the Lightning is used to that kind of grind after spending a good deal of October and November on the road.
"We were so road heavy, we kind of grinded through that," Cooper said. "We have to grind through now the end of January. In between that we have seven of eight at home, and we have to (get points) at home. We're not done yet, and if we want to get back in this race, we have to do that and we are."
Killorn said it was important to gain points on this homestand against Toronto and Carolina, both below the Lightning in the standings. "We want to keep them behind us," he said.
He also said it was important to beat Montreal in the game that began the homestand because they Lightning is trying to catch the division-leading Canadiens (eight points ahead). But it was the way the Lightning won that game that could be the key to the season, Killorn said.
Trailing 2-0 in the first period, the Lightning forced overtime with a third-period comeback that produced an overtime win. Killorn said the win could prove to be a big shift in momentum: "Hopefully, that Montreal game was the turning point."
NOTES: Forward Adam Erne was recalled from AHL Syracuse. That means the lower-body injury to forward Brian Boyle might keep him out of Tuesday's game against the Jets. … The Lightning practices at 11 a.m. today at the Ice Sports Forum in Brandon. The practice is open to the public.

JACK is very nice from the perspective of the Pro Audio community, since all the Pro Audio software in the Linux world pretty much requires JACK. Of course, I don't think that JACK was ever intended to be used in a consumer audio solution, so it doesn't have that OSS/esd/arts layer. In general, if you feel like hacking on JACK until it Just Works and has a nice GUI (though qjackctl is nice for most things), it would be a good FC inclusion. However, in its current state it's more useful to Pro Audio enthusiasts and home-studio users than it is the the general public. -Max

Slamdance filmmaker delves into gritty realism
As a burgeoning filmmaker, Tina Mabry sensed a void in the realm of cinematography. She felt that the world she knew as a child was misrepresented through the eyes of the camera, so she set out to tell her own story her own version of what it was like growing up in a rural Mississippi town. In doing so, Mabry confronted her issues head-on, delving deep into the experiences that shaped her life, and says she emerged with a clearer sense of her own being. "I had to face my own demons on a daily basis," Mabry says. "As hard as it was, it was very cathartic in a way." The product of Mabry's introspective journey, a film entitled Mississippi Damned, is being screened this week at the Slamdance Film Festival.
The film is an adaptation of the people and events that shaped Mabry's childhood. It revolves around three poor, African-American kids trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty, violence and addiction. As the characters struggle to overcome the hurdles that scar their upbringing, a dark and gritty reality unfolds. Alcoholism, adultery and molestation are just a few of the issues entangled in the plot.
"The majority is definitely truthful — It's hard to collapse a lifetime in two hours, but I really wanted to remain committed to things that happened," Mabry explains. Although there's not a single character that encapsulates Mabry's persona, she identifies closely with Kari, whose life is permeated by a series of disturbing events, and later by her desire to escape.
The film is split into two periods: 1986 and 1998. This division allows the audience to understand how the characters are affected by situations and how they evolve. Each of the characters goes through ups and downs, bringing the audience closer and then pushing them away. Instead of falling under the category of good or bad, the characters waft through a gray area, ultimately making them more human and more real.
Mississippi Damned is Mabry's first feature film. She also wrote and directed the award-winning short film, Brooklyn's Bridge to Jordan, for her thesis project at the University of Southern California's School of Cinema-Television.
Mabry started writing the script for Mississippi Damned in 2004, crafting the characters from members of her family and people she knew from her childhood in Tupelo, Mississippi. The film started to take shape in 2007 when Mabry teamed up with producers Lee and Morgan Stiff.
Since the film is based in a rural Southern town, Mabry had originally anticipated filming in Mississippi, but the producers urged her to look at a different location that made more sense with their limited budget. Hertford County, N.C. is a small town located in the northeast corner of the state. Mabry admits that although she was hesitant at first, once she visited, there was no doubt in her mind the location would work.
Fortuitously, the film was a recipient of a Film Independent grant of $10,000 in Kodak film stock. "They felt like it was a project they could get behind, and without it, we wouldn't have been able to make this film," says Mabry.
Filming started in May 2008 and the crew had exactly 22 days to get the film wrapped. The time limit was one of the biggest challenges, says Mabry. Not to mention that they encountered a giant obstacle on day one of filming a tornado that caused a tree to fall on a house directly behind the house where the crew was shooting. "Now it's something I can laugh about, but at the time it was not funny," Mabry says. "I told everyone, 'You almost got killed making this film, so this is gonna be a good film it has to be.'"
After recovering from the natural disaster, the cast and crew picked up the pace and got back on schedule, covering six to seven pages of script per day. "It was a lot to get through with a character-driven story," says Mabry. Cinematographer Bradford Young used a 35 mm handheld camera to shoot 95 percent of the film, which allowed production to move very quickly. "Being minimal with what we had actually helped — it made it authentic," Mabry says. The goal is to make the audience feel like they're in the scenes with the characters, she says.
In November, Mabry found out that the film had been selected as one of the 10 films in competition at the 15th annual Slamdance Film Festival, which coincides with the Sundance Film Festival. "If I could turn a flip, I think I would've," she says. "We were all ecstatic."
Through the production of the film, Mabry was forced to relive some painful experiences. "When I would talk about backstory with the actors, I would get emotional," she says. "But for me, it was more important to get it out, and down the line it may help someone else out and let them know they're not alone. And for me that's definitely worth the sacrifice of having to cry." Mabry acknowledges that making the film has made her a stronger person. "I don't have to hold anything in anymore and I don't feel ashamed about anything I can completely hold my head up high."
The story is particularly poignant for anyone who has been through hardship. "There are so many universal themes in this film that go beyond being in the South, or being Black, or being poor," says Mabry. It provides a glimpse into the world of the oppressed, a realm that is foreign to many of the potential Slamdance viewers. "We hope to show that the stories of those in the margins are just as profoundly entertaining as any now considered mainstream," says Mabry. "The main thing we want people to walk away with is these stories can be told, and there is an audience for it."
Mabry, several members of the production team, and at least 10 actors from the principal cast plan to attend the Slamdance premiere of the film. Showings for Mississippi Damned are Friday, Jan. 16 at 6 p.m. and Tuesday, Jan. 20 at 10 a.m. in the Main Screening Room at Treasure Mountain Inn.

Russell Shelton is the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue, a volunteer organisation that provides a vital safety service to our boating community 24/7, here on the Coffs Coast. We spoke to him about the program, the volunteers who give their time and expertise to the organisation, what motivates him to take on this important role, and how to stay safe whilst enjoying our spectacular marine environment.
Hi Russell. Tell us a little about your relationship with the Coffs Coast.
I have had two main career paths, one being the owner/manager of a charter boat and scuba diving operation in Jervis Bay. I was also a commercial boat skipper and Master Scuba Diving Instructor. My other career path was that of a Human Resources Manager in the public sector.
When I retired in 2012, I moved to Coffs Harbour to enjoy the wonderful diving and beauty of the region, which flowed on to joining Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour.
You are the Unit Commander of Marine Rescue here in Coffs. What is Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour all about?
Marine Rescue Coffs Harbour is a volunteer not for profit organisation which is operational 24/7 and provides a vital safety service to the region's boating community. Our mission is Volunteers Saving Lives on the Water. We have a specially equipped search and rescue vessel ready to respond to boaters in distress. We urge boaters to always wear a lifejacket and to log on with us before heading out. Tell us where you are going and when you are due back, how many people are on board, the boat's name and registration number, and your contact details. If a vessel does not return when expected, a search can be quickly mounted.
To log on, boaters can contact MR Coffs Harbour by landline 6652 3155, VHF radio channel 16, or 27Mhz channel 88, or use the free Marine Rescue App.
Our volunteers also provide a safety watch for community events such as triathlons, swimming events, outrigger races and the power boats. To help fund our operations, we do regular fundraising in the community. We are keen to hear from local businesses that may wish to sponsor us.
Marine Rescue is made up of volunteers. How many people do you have working alongside you?
Our membership is 56, including professionally trained radio operators and boat crew. Other volunteers help with tasks such as fundraising and administration. I am proud of our members, who not only commit their time and energy, but also bring a wide range of skills and experience to our unit from previous or current careers. There is no cost involved, and we provide uniforms after a qualifying period.
Who can become a volunteer, and what sort of training is involved?
We always welcome new members. You do not need a maritime background, as we provide professional training – both competency-based (personal training on the job) and some classroom sessions.
Marine Rescue NSW is a Registered Training Organisation, and our training is in accordance with nationally accredited qualifications. Our training is comprehensive and integral to the safety service we provide, to ensure that our members are skilled and competent to carry out the range of duties required in keeping both the boating community and our members safe.
On average, how many assists do you do a year, and what kind of assists are they?
We carry out about 70 rescues a year, ranging from life threatening emergencies at night in challenging conditions, to more routine jobs where vessels have flat batteries, fuel problems or a loss of steering. On the water, simple problems can become more serious if not dealt with quickly. A disabled boat could drift on to rocks or way out to sea.
What have been some of the biggest challenges of the job, and how do you overcome them?
One challenge is boaters who don't log on and then get into difficulty. It slows down our response time in providing assistance. When you log on, give us a few simple details and we can track your voyage. Log on when you leave and log off when you return. It is as simple as that.
What drives you to continue to volunteer your time for Marine Rescue?
Being a Marine Rescue volunteer is very satisfying. Apart from providing a vital safety service, as a trainer and assessor I help people learn new skills, which is personally very satisfying.
What safety precautions can Coffs Coast locals take when hitting the water?
Check conditions, and if in doubt, don't go out. All vessels should have the appropriate safety equipment, such as a well maintained VHF radio and a lifejacket for each person on board. Make sure the vessel is seaworthy and check the fuel and batteries. If a vessel has not been used for a long time, the fuel may be old and the battery may need charging or replacing. Once you've done that, log on with your local Marine Rescue unit. We encourage local skippers to join our Radio Club, which saves time when logging on. They get a unique Marine Rescue call sign, which they quote when heading out.
Where can we find out more information about Marine Rescue?
People can either call us on (02) 6652 3155 or visit the Unit on Beacon Hill, Edinburgh Street, Coffs Harbour. Marine Rescue NSW also has an informative website: www.marinerescuensw.com.au and a Facebook page with regular updates from our 44 units.
Thanks Russell.

|Afternoon at Alcantara Vineyards
Thursday morning came, and went. So did the painting I made. It doesn't happen as often as it used to, but now and then a painting just doesn't work out. One of the hallmarks of the mature artist is knowing when to scrape a painting in the field.
Trina was meeting her hiking group in Uptown around dawn, so after dropping her off, I headed up to Midgely Bridge where I'd painted earlier in the week. I knew there was some standing water in the side canyon and thought that it, along with some backlit hills, would make a winner. I took my biggest panel, a 14x18, and my cumbersome French easel, and walked back to the spot I picked out.
The canyon was all in deep shade when I began, but I felt confident enough in my skills to anticipate what the scene would look like when the sun got high enough to throw some light into it. I couldn't have been more wrong! Instead, the sun just turned the scene into a boxful of meaningless puzzle pieces. To make matters worse, it cast a strong light on the hill directly behind me, throwing an orange glare on my panel. Value and color in my paint choices became unreadable.
I scraped off the panel. I didn't feel my morning had been wasted, though. I'd seen a beautiful sunrise. But I'd also learned that the sun is a powerful agent of change and must be respected. It can make - or break - a scene.
|The Wall of Oil
On my way home, I stopped by the Sedona Arts Center and rehung my "Wall of Oil," adding my painting from the Page Springs Cellars afternoon.
After lunch, I drove down to Cottonwood for the "Confluence of the Senses" event. This was at Alcantara Vineyards, right along the confluence of Oak Creek and the Verde River. This magnificent estate has many beautiful buildings, lots and lots of vine rows and a fantastic location. I didn't have a lot of time, though - paintings had to be framed and on display by 4 pm - so I settled in by the Chapel and got started.
At 4, the festivities began. Music, wine and fine art provided a fun evening for both artists and collectors. I am pleased to say that my piece, "Alcantara," sold to a couple from Dallas who were planning to put it in their newly redesigned kitchen.
|Alcantara, 14x18 oil (sold)
By the way, the painting that sold was painted on that same 14x18 panel that I'd scraped down earlier. I wonder: If I'd painted a successful piece in the morning, would I have painted the one that sold that evening?

The Netherlands-based company has created an e-cigarette that is able to make and receive calls. The company, Supersmoker has introduced the e-cigarette, which is the first electronic smoking device in the world with the ability to wirelessly connect to users' smartphones and tablets.
The device has an in-built speaker and microphone that are connected to it and the e-cigarette can also be used to stream music. The latest device's built-in Bluetooth can be activated with the help of the middle button that needs to be pressed until the battery makes a noise and vibrates. The device can then be paired with other Bluetooth-enabled device.
When a person calls on the connected phone, users of Supersmoker can answer it by pressing the middle button once again. The device can also be used to stream music from a smartphone or a tablet which is connected and the volume buttons are located on the bottom of the cigarette.
The e-cigarette also comes with a 'sucker' and key chain, which means that it can be stuck or hung up in any location while the user is listening to music. The device will be priced at €79.95 and can also be shipped internationally. The company said that at Supersmoker Bluetooth, they are constantly trying to make users' e-smoking experience more enjoyable.

Because motorcycle riders are less immediately visible to other drivers than someone driving a vehicle, they are at a significantly greater risk for being in an accident. Therefore, motorcycle drivers are constantly in a potentially very dangerous situation as they ride.
Another factor that makes motorcycles so dangerous is that there is much less protection for them than someone driving a vehicle. They are not shielded from the outside world and therefore are immediately more vulnerable by virtue of the fact that they are totally exposed to the elements.
Helmet use is a great idea in terms of trying to minimize potential serious head injury but even with such precautions, motorcycle riders are often subject to serious head, neck, and back injuries when involved in an accident.
If you are involved in a motorcycle accident where injuries are sustained, it is important that you retain an experienced motorcycle accident lawyer who can competently represent your needs.
The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation, has the required expertise and experience to represent you and will work to get you the compensation you deserve.

Gold, A Professional Law Corporation can provide competent experienced representation to assure you are compensated for your injuries.

Many traffic fatalities occurred as the result of drivers impaired by a blood alcohol level of .08 or greater. Making the decision to drive drunk puts the driver in a compromised situation where they are operating a vehicle at a lower and more impaired level of awareness making it more difficult if not impossible to react safely to various driving conditions.
Driving drunk may make the driver susceptible to both civil and criminal liability depending on the nature of the circumstances surrounding the incident. Accidents involving drunk driving often involve serious injury and in some cases even death. The victims of a drunk driver are entitled to hold the defendant civilly liable for damages to compensate the victims for their losses. These damages, known as compensatory damages, include items such as compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, etc.
In addition to compensatory damages, where the plaintiff has suffered injuries as a result of an accident involving a drunk driver, sometimes punitive damages are awarded. Punitive damages are generally only allowed where it is proven by clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud or malice which can be implied from acting in the conscious disregard of the rights or safety of others.
However, there are special rules for punitive damages in drunk driving cases.
In order to get an award of punitive damages in a drunk driving case, a plaintiff must establish by clear and convincing evidence:
Therefore, the plaintiff's attorney must present evidence, frequently by testimony, that the defendant knew that they would be driving before they began drinking and knew of the extreme risks of drunk driving before punitive damages will be awarded.
In order to be fully compensated for your injuries you need an experienced litigator. Not all attorneys have the extensive trial experience of Jeffrey D. Gold, who has tried hundreds of lawsuits for decades. If you, or someone you know, has been injured as a result of the actions of a drunk driver contact The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation for a free consultation. We will discuss how we can fight to help make you whole and secure the compensation you are due.
Construction Accidents
Each year, thousands of construction workers are injured in construction related accidents. Construction workers are constantly exposed to dangerous work environments such as falling girders, defective equipment, scaffolding collapses, falls, electrocutions, explosions, or a large machine without a warning signal to name just a few. As a result, they can suffer serious injuries resulting in a loss of employment, permanent disabilities, and a lifetime of medical bills. The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation, has years of experience in representing injured construction workers.
Because construction injury cases are complex, you will need an experienced construction accident attorney to successfully handle them. Construction cases typically require the injured worker to bring claims against contractors, subcontractors, developers, owners, material suppliers, architects, engineers and insurance companies, as all of these parties typically attempt to avoid liability for their wrongful conduct and pass it on to others. Additionally, construction cases frequently require expert witnesses-both medical and construction industry experts-to demonstrate both the cause of the accident and the nature and extent of the employee's injuries. Accordingly, without an experienced and aggressive construction accident attorney, an injured worker may suffer for years without any compensation while the construction lawsuit carries on.
Construction companies and contractors must carry workers' compensation insurance. Workers' compensation covers medical care and lost wages, but the payments are limited and do not assign fault. We seek damages above and beyond Workers' Comp, as the law allows, ensuring that the victim's current and future needs are fully met. The employer owes a safe work environment for its workers, and is obligated to take reasonable measures to ensure safety. We seek compensation for victims of construction site accidents relating to negligent or reckless actions and orders, unqualified equipment operators, OSHA violations and other employer liability.
Injuries due to construction accidents are frequently severe. The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation, will seek maximum compensation for medical expenses and future care, loss of wages and lost earning potential, and other damages such as loss of enjoyment. When these accidents turn fatal, we also represent surviving families in filing wrongful death lawsuits.
Brain Injuries
After suffering a traumatic head or brain injury, the road to recovery may be long and uncertain. Severe trauma to the head is most often caused by motor vehicle accidents, especially those involving motorcycles. Sometimes your head hits a window during impact or you experience whiplash as the result of a rear end collision, or otherwise injury your head. However, it occurs, a brain injury is traumatic. These injuries also may result from other events than a motor vehicle accident such as a slip and fall accident, a blow to the head during a sporting event, working around heavy machinery or industrial equipment or a variety of other situations. Cases involving these types of traumatic injuries are complex and require the skill of a knowledgeable brain injury lawyer to evaluate your case.
Head injuries are often complex and puzzling. A traumatic blow to your head may result in a variety of injuries including swelling of the brain, tearing or bruising. If there are no outward symptoms, it may be difficult to understand the scope of your injury. Unless you have trouble with speech, headaches, impaired motor skills, or memory loss following your head injury it may be difficult to know if something is wrong.
In properly diagnosing your head injury, you will need experienced doctors to provide you with the most accurate diagnosis and prognosis. The expertise of a doctor along with medical reports specific to your case are great tools for litigating your case because they will provide proof of the scope of your injuries and/or long term effects. If your case proceeds to trial, then your neurologist will be a valuable expert witness to strengthen your case by explaining the full extent of your traumatic brain injury.
You will need the legal assistance of an aggressive traumatic brain injury lawyer who knows how to assemble your injury case to achieve maximum results.
Be proactive in availing yourself of your legal rights and employ the services of The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation to assist in getting you the compensation you deserve.

Gold, A Professional Law Corporation has the required expertise and experience to represent you in a Medical Negligence action and will zealously pursue your case in order to get you the compensation you deserve.
Professional Negligence
Professionals such as lawyers, accountants, insurance brokers and others have a duty to behave in a professional manner. They must exercise the skill, care and judgment that a reasonably careful professional would in similar circumstances. When that duty is breached, the injured party may seek compensation for damages in a personal injury lawsuit.
Professionals are licensed by the State of California and must first qualify before they are admitted to practice in their particular field. Some of these professionals include, but are not limited to, the following:
A professional who takes advantage of their position and victimizes a client can be held accountable for their intentional or negligent conduct.
The following basic elements must exist in a legal negligence claim:

Nursing Home/Elder Abuse
The Elder Abuse and Dependent Adult Civil Protection Act (the Act) was enacted in 1991 to direct attention to the needs of elderly persons and problems they face, including abuse, neglect and abandonment. The Act is codified in Welfare & Institutions Code section 15657 et. seq.
To encourage lawyers to take Elder Abuse cases the legislature included in the Act certain enhanced remedies for successful claimants, including attorney's fees and costs, and post-mortem general damages in cases of death in certain circumstances.
The Act holds the defendant liable, given clear and convincing evidence of abuse and/or neglect and that the defendant acted in a reckless, oppressive, fraudulent, or malicious manner. Damaged recovered for the plaintiff are not to exceed damages allowed to be recovered under Section 3333.2 (b) of the Civil Code.
Neglect is defined in the Act as "the negligent failure of any person having the care or custody of an elder or dependent adult to exercise that degree of care that a reasonable person in a like position would exercise" and includes, among other things, the failure to provide medical care for physical and mental health needs, failure to protect from health and safety hazards, and the failure to prevent malnutrition and dehydration. Some examples of neglect include:
When evaluating a case involving the custodial treatment of an elderly person or a dependent adult, such as in a nursing home or residential care facility, it is important to investigate all issues that might suggest a pattern of neglect instead of what, at first, might appear to be a single negligent act. A good place to start is the medical file maintained by the facility, and specifically the written care plan (or "plan of care"), required for all residents of a skilled nursing facility. The plan should address falls, mobility, pain management, nutrition, bladder and bowels, etc. These plans must be continually updated to address a resident's changing needs, and must be followed. A failure to follow the care plan can lead to serious injury or death, and can be the basis of an elder neglect lawsuit.
If the elder or dependent adult does not die as a result of the misconduct, then, like most cases, the injured party sues on his or her own behalf.
If the injured party dies as a result of the misconduct, the court does not lose jurisdiction for claims made under the Act. After a petition, the right to maintain the action after death (the survival action) can be transferred to a personal representative of the decedent or to the decedent's successor in interest. That is, the person who died can maintain a legal action as though they were still alive. This is a unique benefit of the Elder Abuse Act.
In addition, the death of an elder or dependent adult not only may continue after death in the decedent's name. The survival action looks at the decedent's injuries and becomes an asset of the decedent's estate.
A significant portion of elder abuse cases that are reported take place in California's nursing homes. However, many unreported cases of abuse occur in private residences as well. Hospice care providers and in-home care workers are tasked with taking care of elderly, vulnerable individuals who often need help with everyday activities. Workers who take advantage of that vulnerability should be held accountable for their wrong doing.
Many elderly patients who require assistance at home are physically frail and unable to take care of themselves or defend themselves against abuse. Some common forms of elder abuse in California include:
It is possible to hold an abusive care provider and his or her employer financially accountable for their wrongdoing. If you have a loved one who has suffered at the hands of others and think you may have an elder abuse case, please contact us right away to preserve your rights. Only a skilled California elder abuse attorney can help the victim or the victim's family pursue compensation for medical bills, physical pain, emotional suffering and other related damages. The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation is well qualified to assist you in getting the compensation you deserve.

Dog Bites
Dog bites are a serious public health issue. Approximately 1,000 Americans receive treatment for dog bites every day. A dog bite can cause broken bones, cuts and bruises, disfigurement, scarring, permanent injury and even death. Expensive medical treatment is often necessary after a dog bite, and it is common for victims to suffer from serious emotional distress.
Regardless of the breed, if you have suffered from a dog bite, the dog's owner may be responsible for your losses. You have the right to damages, including compensation for pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages (depending on the severity of the bite).
Proving a dog bite case can be complicated, and the stakes are high. You need a qualified attorney knowledgeable in dog bite cases on your side to make sure that you know your legal rights and that you receive the best possible compensation for your injuries.
If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dog and suffered, injuries as a result contact The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, A Professional Law Corporation to assist in getting you the compensation you deserve.
Wrongful Death
When a person intentionally, negligently or recklessly causes injury to another individual, the victim has the right to take action to recover compensation for his or her injuries. In some cases, the personal injuries are so serious that the victim does not survive. Tragically, auto accidents, construction accidents, plane crashes, medical mistakes, and defective products take the life of many victims each year.
When a death occurs because of negligence or wrongdoing, the person or entity responsible should not escape legal liability because the victim was killed. To ensure that the wrongdoer is held accountable for compensating surviving family members, every state in the U.S. has passed special laws called wrongful death statutes to help compensate the family members of wrongful death victims.
A wrongful death lawsuit is a case brought by the family members of the deceased against another person or entity that caused the loved one's death through negligence, wrongdoing or breach of a legal duty.
These cases arise out of many types of incidents, from car accidents to construction accidents to severe dog bites to aviation disasters. Wrongful death actions can only be brought by certain specific individuals with a close family relationship to the deceased.
If your loved one has passed away from personal injuries sustained in an accident, you may be entitled to substantial compensation through a wrongful death case. However, it is up to you to protect your rights and file a claim for compensation. Contact The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, to assist you in getting the compensation you deserve.
Catastrophic Injury/Accidental Death
When personal injury lawyers represent a client with a catastrophic injury, they typically are going to be seeking a significant amount of compensation through a settlement or verdict from the negligent party. Catastrophic injury typically is associated with an injury or illness that occurs suddenly and can leave the victim with permanent disabilities.
Victims typically need compensation for lifelong disabilities, financial compensation to cover past, current and future medical bills as well as lost income. An attorney may consult with experts to determine other damages. The victim may need compensation to make home modifications.
Examples of catastrophic injuries include traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage resulting in paralysis, an amputation, severe burn injuries, organ damage, nerve damage, certain eye injuries, among others.
An injury that rises to the level of catastrophic is generally one that is permanent or has a lifelong impact. Soft tissue injuries or certain bone fractures might be considered non-catastrophic.
Injuries representing a victim of catastrophic proportions requires specific expertise and trial experience. The Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Gold, meets that criteria and can assist in getting the compensation you deserve.

Do you see Lily? Well, I tried to give her a "tan" face. . you know like the ones at the tanning salon? LOL~ unfortunately, her face is almost the same color as her hair. . the peroxide blond color. . slightly orangey. LOL! I should've colored Lily's hair a darker color so her face wouldn't blend with the hair color but I figured blondes have more fun! Not necessarily true but that's what people say.

Los Angeles Live Chat Company | What Greeting Should My Chat Have?
- May 15, 2018
- Business advice, Internet Marketing, Website Design
Your live chat is a system put in place to bring in new leads. But, how can you expect to do that when you don't have a welcoming message in place? Your live chat greeting is most likely the first interaction a user and potential customer will have with your company when you start working with a Los Angeles live chat company. Here is how to start formulating a proper greeting:
Start with Hello
You want to be inviting! Start with the most basic manners and use a simple hello or hi. You can be more relaxed in your pre-written messages because you want the user to be aware that it's not a robot on the other side.
Consider the Placement
Where is your live chat going to be? Is it only going to be on your homepage? Or, will it be on every single page? If you're targeting a particular service, you can tailor your message to that. However, if it's going to live on every page – home, services, about, contact, etc. – you should keep it extremely general.
Think of Your Industry
If you're in the medical industry, you may want to ask if they want to make an appointment. If you sell a product, ask about the details of their search. This will prompt the user to start sharing information right away and will speed up the lead generation process.
Keep it Simple
Don't go overboard. Keeping it simple and sweet starts a conversation and then allows your live chat agent to take over. Your greeting most definitely should not be longer than three lines.
Follow Up Properly
After the initial greeting, it is up to the agent to follow up properly. So, don't be afraid to start asking questions, guiding the conversation and prompting the information you need for them to qualify as a lead. That includes the full name, number, email, and inquiry.

Updated statement in relation to reopening of Talking Stick Resort
Repairs continue at Talking Stick Resort following a series of storms that resulted in a power outage at the property. Specifically, the backup power generating equipment, administrative offices, meeting space and cafe on the property's lower level are being restored. Upper levels of the resort, which include the casino floor, poker room, concert venues and restaurants, were not damaged by the storms. Nearly 300 employees and personnel from outside agencies have been working around the clock to make the necessary repairs.
Most severely impacted were both the hotel's and casino's power distribution sources. Engineered for Talking Stick Resort to accommodate its unique needs for power, these units are the points of contact from the resort to nearby transformers. Damage has prevented us from restoring power to the property and resulted in a longer than expected closure.
As these efforts continue, Talking Stick Resort is communicating directly with impacted hotel and casino guests, and employees. We appreciate the ongoing patience and support we have received and apologize for the disruption guests and employees have experienced. We are pleased to announce Talking Stick Golf Club has reopened its south course and Wildhorse Grille. While we are unable to provide a reopening date for the resort at this time, we are diligently working to restore operations to the highest level of excellence and look forward to welcoming back our guests and employees as soon as possible. Please continue to visit our website, www.talkingstickresort.com, and we will provide updates as they are available.

Guyana Amazon Warriors 118 for 2 (Simmons 67*, Sarwan 24*, Muralitharan 2-33) beat Jamaica Tallawahs 117 (Baugh 32, Santokie 3-20) by eight wickets
Scorecard and ball-by-ball details
Opener Lendl Simmons scored an unbeaten 67 off just 44 balls to guide Guyana Amazon Warriors to a comfortable eight-wicket win over Jamaica Tallawahs at the Providence Stadium. The win was Guyana's second in as many games, and took them to the top of the table ahead of the Barbados Tridents on net run-rate.
Simmons, the Man of the Match, struck five fours and four sixes, and put up an unbeaten 60-run stand for the third wicket with Ramnaresh Sarwan, to chase down a modest 118 inside 15 overs.
Jamaica, put in to bat, got off to a slow start as Ahmed Shehzad was caught at long-off by Chris Barnwell off seamer Krishmar Santokie off the last ball of the fourth over, and off the very next delivery, Chris Gayle fell short of his crease trying to sneak an unlikely second run.
James Franklin had an expensive night and conceded 38 runs in his four overs, but all other bowlers were economical, and bowled out Jamaica for just 117. Santokie stood out with figures of 3 for 20, including the wicket of Carlton Baugh, who top scored for the visitors with 32.
Guyana, needing less than six an over, were comfortable throughout the run-chase as Simmons and Martin Guptill added 48 for the opening wicket. Muttiah Muralitharan dismissed Guptill and Mohammad Hafeez in quick succession, but Sarwan, coming in at No. 4, steadied the innings with a 19-ball 24 to take Guyana home with 33 balls remaining.

Goldfrapp announce new album Silver Eye
Goldfrapp are back after a three-plus year break. Today the duo of Allison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have announced their seventh album, Silver Eye. It is their first LP since 2013's Tales of Us. The album was produced in Dallas, Texas and London with St. Vincent producer John Congleton and Björk collaborator The Haxan Cloak, respectively. The album is out March 31.
You can listen to the album's first single "Anymore" below. Goldfrapp and Gregory have also shared short statements on the process of creating Silver Eye.
Allison Goldfrapp:
We've never liked repeating ourselves. Often we react to things we've just done. We like the spontaneity of not knowing. It's only through the process that we start to figure out what it is. The fans who have stuck with us are the ones who embrace that idea and are excited by the thought that they don't know quite what to expect next.
Will Greggory:
I think writing an album is like being lost in a wood. You're trying to figure out an interesting path. You don't know whether it's going to be a dead end or somewhere interesting and you never know when to stop because around the corner some beautiful vista might open up.
Here is the album's album art and tracklist.
Goldfrapp, Silver Eye:
01 Anymore
02 Systemagic
03 Tigerman
04 Become The One
05 Faux Suede Drifter
06 Zodiac Black
07 Beast That Never Was
08 Everything Is Never Enough
09 Moon in Your Mouth
10 Ocean

That title took me all of 3 seconds to think of, yeah, I rock like that.
It looks like I am on a bit of a weight loss journey. Oh yeah, it's been just grrrrrrreat. I started April 2, 2012 at (a weight that I will not tell a soul, well, except for my sister in law) and as of today July 31, 2012 (my sister and brothers birthday), I am proud to say that I have lost 29lbs. I have also completed my first 5K!! Now that's some awesome stuff.
Just in case you are wondering all I am doing to counting calories,
running jogging at a VERY slow pace and walking. I am trying to eat a lot of protein and fiber and cut waaaaaay back on my carbs and sugars. Those things are evil, evil I say.
Not every day is perfect, but oh well. It's ok. I know in my mind it takes alot of calories to gain a pound. On the other hand I gained 40 lbs in 5 years (it's ok to laugh). That means I gained LESS than one pound a month, but I still gained and gained and gained.
I am also setting realistic goals for myself. I want to lose the weight and actually keep it all off. My first goal was 20 lbs by the time school started and another 20 lbs by Christmas. So far I have met and exceed my first goal. Since I am at 30lbs lost I have set a new goal. I am going for another 20 lbs by Halloween. That will give me a total of 50lbs lost. I think if I get my but in gear I can totally do it. If I can meet that goal, I will be half way home. WOOHOO!!
And now I will leave you with a few pictures from my journey thus far.
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Yeah, I'm getting healthy and stuff....
That title took me all of 3 seconds to think of, yeah, I rock like that.

Grandma's 85th Birthday
This weekend we celebrated Grandma's 85th birthday party in typical our family style.....Hawaiian decor with fried chicken.
My family came in from all over. Two of my cousins and the kids stayed with us. It was such an awesome time. Grandma's party went awesome!!
I can't really talk about it too much because I get all teary eyed and all that jazz. I have so much to say to my grandma but I just can't seem to get the words out. One day I will though. But until then I will leave you with a few photos from that day.

Some 240 university departments across Greece are being occupied by their students in a wave of action that is threatening to derail the right wing New Democracy government.
The protests are in response to plans to allow private, fee paying universities to enter the system.
As parliament was due to discuss the changes on Wednesday of last week, thousands of students surrounded the building from noon until after 9pm. Across Greece there were similar demonstrations.
The teachers' and lecturers' unions organised a 24-hour strike, while civil servants, health workers and local government workers held four-hour stoppages in support.
The government brought forward the plan for the universities in the knowledge that they would be supported by Pasok, the Greek centre left party. Both parties are committed to neoliberal reform of the education system.
However, the scale of the protests has forced a number of Pasok MPs to declare themselves against the plan and big splits are opening up in Pasok as a result.
Lecture theatres are alive with political debate that goes well beyond the immediate threats to the education system to question the entire agenda of the government.
If the government's plans are stopped by the students, the rest of its privatisation policies are threatened and there may have to be a new election.
The fight over the future of higher education has become a key struggle for the working class. A victory over this issue would be a big defeat for the forces that back a neoliberal Greece.
Anger at deportation threat
Thousands of supporters of the Greek Stop the War Coalition and the Pakistani community joined a demonstration in support of Javed Aslam.
Javed helped uncover the scandal of Greek and British secret police conspiring to kidnap Greek Pakistanis sought in connection with the 7 July 2005 bombings in London (Tortured as MI6 watched, 7 January 2006).
Now the Greek government wants to punish Javed by attempting to deport him to Pakistan. Javed is out on bail after the Greek TUC agreed to pay £20,000 in bail money.
