Book Review: Walking by Casey MeyersSubmitted by smither on Thu, 06/20/2013 - 15:31
Walking, by Casey Meyers, published in 2007.
Walking is an update to his earlier book Aerobic Walking. Being a walker I appreciated this book for the information and the encouragement it provides.
Meyers was 79 years old when he wrote the book, and has had his share of physical problems during his life - including two knee replacements and, 10 years before he wrote the book, a nearly fatal massive blockage in his heart.
Through all his health issues he has continued to walk, and is certain that he has reached his current age only because of it.

And Ron Wins AnotherSubmitted by smither on Sun, 11/06/2011 - 15:09
Ron Paul took 1907 (52%) of the votes cast this weekend in the Illinois GOP Straw Poll. Cain was a distant second with 670 votes (18%) and Romney had 515 (14%).
The Chicago Tribne actually reported the results.
The StLToday.com web site (St. Louis) reported that "The Illinois straw poll _ at 3,649 votes _ surpassed such large states as Ohio, Florida and California that held straw polls earlier this year."
Republican Staw Poll ResultsSubmitted by smither on Mon, 10/24/2011 - 10:51
The main stream media would have us believe that Mitt Romney, or perhaps Herman Cain, are the front runners in the quest for the Republican presidential nomination. I beg to differ. As of October 22, 2011, here are the vote totals for Hermain Cain, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, and Mitt Romney from 33 Republican Straw Polls (see: Wikipedia):

My apologies for not responding to your question until now. As I mentioned in my post from 14 Jan, I only stop in from time to time. Anyway, here is a brief answer to your questions.
How do you correlate gut with BFS?
The gut is the foundation of the immune system. When the gut is compromised, the immune system is compromised. Between the stress I was undergoing at that point in my life and the gut health issues I was dealing with, a chain reaction was set off causing an autoimmune response that resulted in my BFS symptoms. By treating myself for Leaky Gut, I was able to find relief and eventually reversal of my BFS symptoms.
What dietary changes did you make?
I cut out all processed foods, sugars, dairy, soy, gluten. It would be easier to list the foods I ate rather than all the foods I avoided. I went back to the basics. I ate fresh organic fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and eggs. Some people call it the paleo diet or caveman diet. It was difficult at first, I won't lie. It made me feel better though and that kept me going. Eventually new tastes and habits were acquired. When you get your life back you realize it is worth it.
What is Leaky Gut Syndrome?
Leaky Gut Syndrome is the name given to the condition you develop when your intestine walls become so porous that they absorb undigested food proteins and toxins (stuff that is normally sent all the way through as waste) into your blood stream. Once in the blood stream it is up to your body to try and eliminate it or store it. This often overloads the detox organs and causes the immune system to ramp up. The undigested food proteins become targets of the immune system and new food intollerances are born. The immune system can even go autoimmune in the confusion and begin attacking the tissues of the body. There is a very long laundry list of chronic health conditions that can be caused by Leaky Gut Syndrome.
I too have gut issues like milk n wheat intolerance.I stopped such foods but still have bfs.
I wish it were that easy. Stopping the source of inflammation is the first step. Healing cannot begin until the inflammation has been halted and put under control. I am not a doctor and can only speak from my own experience, but I did require quite a bit of help from a holistic doctor who was experienced in this area. I had to avoid a lot more than just a few things. Like I said above, I went full Paleo/caveman diet and avoided all the foods that feed candida. Sugar is a big one. Processed foods contain too many ingredients where you just can't be certain what you are eating. I had to take supplements to reduce the candida and then probiotics to increase the good bacteria. I eventually was able to start working some foods back into my diet, but I still stick to a stricter diet than I used to. Basically if you go to a doc and they help confirm for you that you likely are dealing with leaky gut, you need to look yourself in the mirror and truly ask if you are committed to getting better. If so, roll up your sleeves and prepare for some lifestyle changes. Like I said above, I went all in and it was worth it to me. Some people won't make that same decision. Foods are too much of a comfort, despite the trouble it causes them. Its your life and your call. Just know you have to lie in the bed you make. Best of luck.

Traumatic rhabdomyolysis (crush syndrome) in the rural setting
To the Editor: I read with interest the article entitled 'Traumatic rhabdomyolysis (crush syndrome) in the rural setting'.1 Crush syndrome from sjambok injury is a uniquely southern African experience.2 It is unfortunately commonplace, making treatment guidelines essential to prevent the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) and subsequent need for renal replacement therapy. The advent of the RIFLE and AKIN criteria in the description and risk stratification of AKI provides a framework from which strategies to prevent ongoing injury can be implemented.3 Their use has become commonplace in critical care and should be implemented in the emergency department.
Careful monitoring of fluid balance is essential, and a paper discussing the ATN and RENAL trial results shows that avoiding a positive fluid balance improves renal recovery times.4 Therefore I urge caution in trying to force a diuresis with resuscitation fluids if patients present with anuria/oliguria and do not respond to initial fluid therapy as they can be pushed into fluid overload with subsequent need for ventilatory support.
Alkalinisation of the urine with bicarbonate has been challenged as the standard of care. Evidence for this practice is weak; in 2083 trauma ICU admissions, Velmahos' group failed to show improvement in outcomes despite urinary alkalinisation.5
The use of diuretics in AKI does not improve mortality outcomes and the use of renal replacement therapy.6 Mannitol has also been implicated as a cause of AKI in head-injured patients and should be used with caution.7
At present, measuring serum creatinine and urine output remain the two best indicators of renal function that are easily available to the clinician. These remain our renal biomarkers of choice until the use of newer renal biomarkers, such as neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin and cystatin C, becomes commonplace.8]]> Patient therapy must be individualised, with haemodynamic optimisation and careful monitoring of fluid balance, specifically concentrating on urine output. Care must be taken to avoid nephrotoxic agents such as intravenous contrast and aminoglycosides. Early referral for renal replacement therapy is essential in those not responding to conventional fluid therapy.

Wood replies: Traumatic rhabdomyolysis is often a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes where patients are crushed by debris. However, rhabdomyolysis associated with interpersonal violence such as sjambok injuries and community beatings is endemic to South Africa. Most of these patients present to district or regional hospitals with limited diagnostic capabilities and no renal replacement therapies such as renal dialysis. Our study1 suggests that early diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis using clinical examination and blood on urine Dipstix as a surrogate marker are critical in preventing ensuing myoglobin-associated acute renal failure. Key to management is early and aggressive fluid management (a target of 200 - 300 ml/h urine output)2 to prevent renal tubule damage. A low urine pH augments myoglobin cast sedimentation3 and renal tubular damage. Some guidelines2,3 suggest the use of bicarbonate, with a target urine pH >6.5, to reduce this effect. Caution is advised with bicarbonate therapy since hypocalcaemia, hypernatraemia, systemic alkalosis and potential tetany are potential adverse effects. Most guidelines also recommend the use of mannitol in oliguric patients.2,3 Theoretical advantages of mannitol include osmotic diuresis, free radical scavenging and stimulating the release of vasodilatory prostaglandins, enhancing glomerular filtration. The use of mannitol and bicarbonate is controversial, with new evidence suggesting that their use is of no benefit in rhabdomyolysis.
One study showed that bicarbonate and mannitol therapy had no advantage in preventing renal failure over saline diuresis alone.4 However, the study was not randomised and patients in the mannitol/bicarbonate group had an overall higher average creatine kinase, suggesting a more severe pathology. The study indicated that patients with a creatine kinase >30 000 U/l may benefit from mannitol/bicarbonate therapy.4,5 The use of mannitol and bicarbonate in this setting should be revisited.
In settings with limited or no renal support such as renal dialysis, preventing renal failure in traumatic rhabdomyolysis is critical. Early detection of rhabdomyolysis and fluid therapy is the cornerstone of renal saving. Patients who do not respond to fluid resuscitation and show an increasing trend toward renal failure as indicated by a climbing serum creatinine may need additional treatment strategies when dialysis services are not an option. They should have their intravascular volume monitored, which in most settings is limited to central venous pressure monitoring, before the use of diuretics such as mannitol is considered. Strict monitoring of urine and serum pH when considering the use of bicarbonate is recommended. Our small observational study in a rural regional hospital showed that patients with suspected rhabdomyolysis can be effectively treated using recommended guidelines where resources are not adequate for renal replacement treatments. Serious clinical dilemmas exist when patients don't respond to fluid therapy alone and show worsening renal functions, and where there is no recourse to services such as renal dialysis.
Large prospective randomised controlled trials are required to provide clarity on the most effective treatment strategies in trauma-associated rhabdomyolysis, especially in the resource-challenged areas to which most patients present.

TEAM UPDATES (Rankings are AP Top 25 – ESPN/Today polls)
Kentucky (#4, #3) — Kentucky played nothing like the #1 team in the country as they missed 18 layups and lost a 68-62 game on the road to South Carolina this past Tuesday. DeMarcus Cousins had 27 points and 12 rebounds to lead Kentucky, and John Wall added 19 points. Those two accounted for 46 of the Wildcats' 62 points, and that lack of a third scorer was a main reason UK fell. Kentucky bounced back from their loss to South Carolina with a convincing 85-72 win over the hot Vanderbilt Commodores on Saturday. UK jumped out to a 13 point lead 10 minutes into the game and controlled the final 30 minutes, keeping the lead in double digits the entire way. Cousins had another double-double with 21 points and 10 rebounds and Darnell Dodson scored 16 points while getting a rare start to lead UK.
Vanderbilt (#18, #20) — Jermaine Beal scored 25 points and Vanderbilt won its 10th straight game with an 85-76 victory over No. 14 Tennessee on Wednesday night. It was Vandy's first win in Knoxville in five tries and its first win over a ranked opponent this season. A.J. Ogilvy added 12 points and three other Commodores hit double digits as Vandy shot 50.7% for the game. Vanderbilt fell behind Kentucky early at Rupp Arena in that Saturday game and could never regroup, falling 85-72 to the Wildcats. The Commodores were outrebounded 39-21 by the Wildcats. Beal led the way for Vandy with 19 points and shot 4-8 from beyond the arc. Ogilvy added 12 for the Commodores.
Tennessee (#14, #14) — J.P Prince scored 22 points on 9-10 shooting but it was not enough for the Volunteers to defend their home court in a 85-76 loss to Vanderbilt. Scotty Hopson and Bobby Maze added 14 and 12 points, respectively, as the Vols fell to 3-2 in the SEC. Hopson hit a jumper with :17 remaining to give the Volunteers a thrilling 61-60 win over the Florida Gators on Sunday. The shot allowed the Vols to notch their sixth straight win over the Gators. Wayne Chism had 16 points and 11 boards to lead the Vols and help them avoid a three game losing streak.
Florida — Alex Tyus scored 23 points, Erving Walker and Kenny Boynton added 21 apiece, and Florida beat Georgia on Wednesday, 87-71. The Gators extended their winning streak to four and continued their recent domination in the series. Florida has won 12 of their last 13 meetings versus the Bulldogs. Tyus missed a short jumper with five seconds left and, in a game televised nationally on CBS this past Sunday, the Gators went down to a sixth straight loss in games against Tennessee. Tyus led the Gators with 18 points, and Chandler Parsons added 14. Parsons hit a late 3-pointer to give the Gators a lead, and was in a position to hit his third game-winning shot of the year. A Scotty Hopson jumper dashed those dreams and gave UT the lead for good.
South Carolina — Devan Downey took nearly half his team's shots and threw in 30 points to lead his Gamecocks to a 68-62 win over Kentucky. Downey took over the game during the closing minutes and the Wildcats had no answer on covering him. Brandis Raley-Ross added 17 points and gave the Gamecocks another scoring option they had been lacking recently. Kentucky was the first #1 team that the Gamecocks have defeated in eight attempts. Downey had 33 points, including the driving basket with 50 seconds left, that gave South Carolina a 78-77 victory over Georgia on Saturday. The Gamecocks trailed 63-54 with less than 10 minutes remaining but then Downey scored 12 out of the Gamecocks' final 24 points down the stretch. Sam Muldrow added 19 points and 11 boards for South Carolina.
Georgia — Ricky McPhee drained five three pointers and scored 21 points on Wednesday, but the Bulldogs were still blown out by the Gators, 87-71. The Bulldogs were, in effect, a three man team with Trey Thompkins scoring 24 and Travis Leslie adding 11/8/4 in the loss. The two other players Georgia started scored a total of just eight points and the Bulldogs wasted a 59% shooting night in a 16 point loss. Georgia's had it's share of tough losses this season, but the 78-77 loss at South Carolina on Saturday may have been its toughest. The Bulldogs became the latest team that could not control Devan Downey down the stretch as he hit the game winner with :50 left. Leslie and Thompkins had 21 and 18 points, respectively.
Mississippi State — Ravern Johnson scored 19 points to lead Mississippi State, but the Bulldogs blew an 11 point lead and lost to Arkansas on Thursday night, 67-62. Barry Stewart and Kodi Augustus respectively scored 11 and 10 points. Augustus added 10 boards for the double-double and Jarvis Varnado grabbed 14 rebounds. Three days later, the Bulldogs snapped a two game SEC skid as Mississippi State beat LSU, 67-51. Johnson led the way with 15 points and Varnado had another double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds to aid the Bulldogs' cause. Phil Turner added 12 points off the bench for Mississippi State.
Mississippi (#25, –) — Chris Warren scored 20 points, Terrico White had 19 and the Rebels weathered Auburn's 3-point shooting before pulling out an 84-74 victory. The Rebels shot 57% overall, and scored 46 points in the paint. They got 53 points from their three starting guards, including 14 from Eniel Polynice. The Rebels won back to back road games in the SEC for the first time in nine seasons. The Ole Miss Rebels lost a big chance to hold on to first place in the West as they were upset at home by the Arkansas Razorbacks on Sunday. Warren and Polynice had 17 and 15 points, respectively, but White suffered through a 3-14 shooting night.
Arkansas — Courtney Fortson scored a career-high 35 points, carrying Arkansas through the second half as the Razorbacks rallied for a 67-62 win over Mississippi State this past Thursday. Fortson scored 33 of his points in the second half, repeatedly drawing fouls and converting inside, despite his 5'11 frame. Arkansas trailed 49-38 at one point but came back to earn a much-needed victory. Stefan Walsh hit three 3-pointers and added 12 points off the bench. After winning two games in the Southeastern Conference last season, Arkansas is suddenly 3-3 and has notched back-to-back wins over Western Division-leading teams. The latest upset came at Oxford on Sunday as Arkansas dumped the Ole Miss Rebels, 80-73. Michael Washington scored 22 points, Marshawn Powell added 19, and Rotnei Clarke posted 18 for the Jekyl-and-Hyde Razorbacks.
Alabama — The Crimson Tide held the toothless LSU Tigers to just 13 points in the second half on Wednesday and blew LSU out, 57-38. Charvez Davis scored 15 points off the bench in just 18 minutes to lead the Crimson Tide while Mikhail Torrance and Tony Mitchell both scored 10 points. Mitchell added 10 boards for a double-double in that one. Everytime Alabama takes a step forward and seems like a contender in the West, they take a step or two back. Such was the case in Alabama's 58-57 loss to Auburn on Saturday. Torrance led the way with 13 points an added 10 points. Auburn – The Auburn Tigers hit 11 three-pointers, including five by Tay Waller, but it was not enough to hold off the Ole Miss Rebels on Thursday night. Waller scored 21 points in the 84-74 loss. DeWayne Reed had 15 points and Lucas Hargrove 10 as the Tigers dropped a tough one on their home court. Hargrove hit a free throw with three seconds left on Saturday to lift Auburn to a 58-57 win over Alabama. The Crimson Tide led 55-51 with 2:58 left in the game, but Hargrove, who finished with 14 points, had a dunk and converted a three-point play to cut Alabama's lead to 57-56. Waller hit 3 3-pointers and scored 20 points, continuing his hot play.
LSU – The Tigers had a dreadful night on Wednesday, shooting just 29.2% from the field and 11.1% from long range as LSU suffered a 57-38 loss to Alabama. LSU scored just 13 points in the second half. Tasmin Mitchell and Dennis Harris "led" the Tigers wiwth 8 points each. LSU suffered through yet another horrid shooting stretch as they suffered a 67-51 loss to Mississippi State on Saturday. The Tigers shot just 34% from the floor and Mitchell was the only Tiger in double digits with 26 points — more than half his team's total.

The following macros are 4.0 updates to the macros I currently use. Healing didn't change much, in terms of spells, so most of these are feral. It is likely I'll be tweaking these macros as I grow accustomed to the new abilities and grow away from my old bind habits. It is also likely that you may find a different arrangement of abilities to be useful: feel free to hack these macros apart and replace things with your own preference. That's what macros are for :)
- NOTE 1: if you are not a primary-spec resto and secondary-spec feral, you will want to look at all instances of [spec:1] and [spec:2] in these macros to replace them with your appropriate spec.
- NOTE 2: I use an old-model G15 keyboard, which offers me at least 4 "easily reachable" extra keybind keys for pinky reach. You might be a little more pressed for keybind space if you don't have or use one of these, and have to rely more on mouse-click actions.
- NOTE 3: Bindpad has a working version here on WoWInterface.
Generic Macro Templates
Cut and paste in your abilities where you'd like. If in doubt, click them out of your spellbook to get the correct name.
Mouseover Heal or Cleanse:
/cast [@mouseover,help] [help] [@player] Spellname
Mouseover or Focus Harm:
(attack your mouseover, or otherwise your focus target, such as with CC)
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] [@focus,harm,nodead] [@focustarget,harm] [] Spellname
Mouseover or Focus Harm Toggle:
(hold shift to attack or assist your focus target, such as with CC, otherwise mouseover)
/cast [mod:shift,@focus,harm,nodead][mod:shift,@focustarget,harm,nodead][@mouseover,harm,nodead] [harm] [] Spellname
Focus-assist or Target Harm:
(set a main tank as assist, for example)
/cast [@focustarget,harm,nodead] [harm] [] Spellname
Mouseover Help or Target Harm:
/cast [harm] DPSspell; [@mouseover,help] [help] [@player] Healspell
Modifier-toggled casts:
/cast [mod:shift] Spell1; [mod:alt] Spell2; Spell3
Modifier-toggled Helpful Mouseovers:
/cast [mod:shift,@mouseover,help][mod:shift,help][mod:shift,@player] Spell1; [mod:alt][mod:alt,help][mod:alt,@player] Spell2; [@mouseover,help][help][@player] Spell3
Custom Macros
My Skull Bash Key (G12):
Skull bash is our new feral-form spell interrupt. While the following can be done by placing the abilities on your respective stance bars (besides the mouseover portion of Wild Growth), I prefer to just macro it in Bindpad.
/cast [form:3] Skull Bash(Cat Form); [form:1] Skull Bash(Bear Form)
/stopmacro [spec:2] [form:1/3]
/cast [@mouseover,nodead,exists] [@player] Wild Growth
- Cat: Skull Bash
- Bear: Skull Bash
- Caster [spec:1]: Wild Growth (mouseover)
This key used to be my remove curse macro; my cleanse has been consolidated and thus freed up this button. As above, the following can be done by placing the abilities on your respective stance bars (besides the targeting portion of Cyclone), I prefer to just macro it in Bindpad. You could throw warstomp in there, but I prefer having access to that straight from feral forms.
/cast [form:3] Maim; [form:1] Bash; [harm][@focus,harm][] Cyclone
- Cat: Maim
- Bear: Bash
- Caster: Cyclone on enemy target, else on enemy focus target, else normal.
Mushroom Toggle:
Casting mushrooms (up to 3 at a time) and detonating them requires different casts. While we won't learn this spell until level 85, it is good to plan ahead and map out where you'd like to put this ability in your binds/bars, and consolidating the two into one toggled macro is a great way to save space.
/cast [mod:shift] Detonate Mushroom; Wild Mushroom
- Shift: Detonate Mushrooms (boom them)
- Normal: Wild Mushroom (place them)
While we won't learn Stampeding Roar until level 83, I wanted to save a spot for it. While yet again the following can be done by placing the abilities on your respective stance bars, I prefer to just macro it in Bindpad. /shrug
/cast [form:3] Stampeding Roar(Cat Form); [form:1]Stampeding Roar(Bear Form); Hurricane
- Cat: Stampeding Roar
- Bear: Stampeding Roar
- Caster: Hurricane. Because. THUNDER AND LIGHTENING, VERY VERY FRIGHTENING!
My feral AOE Key (q):
Swipe gets spammed a lot, as a cat. Swipe has a cooldown as a bear, but it used to get spammed a lot. We'll be getting Thrash, another bear AoE, at 81, so we have to plan for that. I like binding tons of stuff to my q and e keys :)
/cast [mod:shift,form:1] Thrash; [mod:alt,form:1] Mangle(Bear Form); [@mouseover,harm,nodead,form:1][form:1] Swipe(Bear Form); [stealth] Pounce; [mod:shift] Rake; [@mouseover,harm,nodead][] Swipe(Cat Form)
/startattack [nostealth]
- Cat:
- Swipe
- +shift: Rake
- +stealth: Pounce
- If you'd like to add [mod:alt]Mangle(Cat Form); then you'll need to kill the #showtooltip and some blank spaces to make room.
- Bear:
- Swipe,
- +shift: Thrash
- +alt: Mangle
My feral "E" Key:
Pulverize is an important new bear tool you need to include in your rotation. It is a "CP-user" of lacerate stacks, so binding it to your lacerate key makes sense to me. As for cat form, I haven't changed any of my old binds, but will probably replace Maim with something else down the road, once I get used to my new stuns macro.
/cast [mod:shift,form:3] Ferocious Bite; [form:3,mod:alt]Rip; [form:3] Maim
/stopmacro [form:3]
/cast [nomod:alt] !Maul
/cast [mod:shift] Pulverize; Lacerate
- Cat:
- Maim (because it's where I'm used to it. If you're using a combined stuns key elsewhere, you may consider replacing this with something else).
- +shift: Ferocious Bite
- +alt: Rip (you might consider making this the default by removing the red text, if you don't want Maim here)
- Maim (because it's where I'm used to it. If you're using a combined stuns key elsewhere, you may consider replacing this with something else).
- Bear:
- Lacerate and Maul,
- +shift: Pulverize and Maul,
- +alt: hold alt to not use Maul
My T Key:
An update to my "t" key. It's got a bunch of random but useful stuff in it, including my ToL shift. As a note, if you are feral, you might want to consider a cast-sequence instead for catform which is in the next macro down, as you can now use unstealthed Ravage after using feral charge.
/cast [form:1,btn:2][form:1,mod]Enrage
/cast [form:1,btn:1][mod,form:1]Frenzied Regeneration
/stopmacro [form:1]
/cast [mod,form:3]Savage Roar;[form:3]Feral Charge(Cat Form);[mod,spec:1] !Tree of Life; [@mouseover,help][@player]Nourish
- Bear:
- Frenzied Regeneration
- Right click: Enrage
- +Shift: both Enrage and Frenzied Regen, together
- Cat:
- Feral Charge
- +shift: Savage Roar
- Caster:
- Nourish
- +shift: [spec:1] ToL
My Catform Charge+Ravage Key (t):
The improved feral charge talent makes your next ravage usable while not stealthed, for a short period of time after charging in cat form. Note that if your ravage misses or is a failed attempt due to positioning, it still consumes the buff.
/cast [mod] Savage Roar
/castsequence reset=8 Feral Charge(Cat Form), Ravage
- Feral Charge and then Ravage (two presses);
- +shift: Savage Roar

I'm somewhat new to developing with SharePoint, so sorry if this is painfully obvious and I'm totally missing something.
I have a publishing site that I'm working on, and I need to tweak the navigation on it. So far the heading links work well, but I want its sublinks to just appear right under each heading looking like they're child links to each heading. No hover or anything to make them appear, they'll already be appearing by default. Here's a screenshot of what I currently have:
Disregard the unimplemented CSS that needs to be done. Currently, "ABC 101" and "ABC 123" show up when I mouse-over "Teaching" or the space below it. Once I leave either that mouse-over space or the "ABC 101"/"ABC 123" links, it'll go away. Same thing happens with "Research". What I would like to do is make it so that the links show up all the time (don't rely on a hover to make them appear) and to move them over so they're in the navigation area. Here is the jQuery code that I'm unsuccessfully using:
(function($) {
var timer;
$(document).ready(function() {
.hover(function () {
var li = $(this);
li.css({'position': 'relative', 'z-index': '100'}).find('ul.dynamic').css({'left': '-1px', 'top': '25px'});
}, function() {
var li = $(this);
//li.css({'position': 'static', 'z-index': 'auto'})
//.find('ul.dynamic').css({'left': '-999em'});
Can anyone give me a hand as to what I'm doing wrong?

This is a quick stool i made to use at my computer desk as sitting on the edge of the bed was getting tiresome.
Made from Elm boards roughly 25mm thick. It all packs flat and will happily support my weight and probably that of another.
Took approximately 6 hours and has a little sanding and oiling left to do.

Bear River High School
Class Of 1962
Arnold James "Jim" Larson, age 69, passed away on October 5, 2013 surrounded by his family after a courageous battle with cancer. He was born on July 21, 1944 to Arnold Wilford Larson and Lottie May Spencer Larson. He spent his childhood years on the family dairy farm in Garland, Utah, where he developed a love for horses and farming. He was extremely close to his parents, siblings, and extended family. He left the farm, but the farm never left him.
On June 17, 1966 he married his high school sweetheart Julie Ann Rose in the Logan, Utah, LDS Temple. Together they raised five children and enjoyed fourteen grandchildren. He was so much fun. He enjoyed boating, yearly trips to Bear Lake, late nights playing games, golfing with his boys, traveling with Julie and their good friends, and much more. He often said his family was his greatest joy.
Jim graduated from Bear River High School in 1962 and Utah State University in 1968. He attained his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) certification and initially worked for the State of California and Deloitte and Company. He later joined the Sorenson companies where he worked for 30 years as Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Sorenson Legacy Foundation. He received the Utah State University College of Business Professional Achievement Award in 2005 for his extraordinary career and community leadership. His loyalty, honesty, and hard-working nature were frequently noted by his co-workers. He loved managing the White Sage Ranch and Farms in Kanosh, Utah. They became part of him as he worked alongside the cowboys and farmers in rounding up the cattle and plowing the fields. He was in the saddle at every opportunity.
Jim lived a life of service. He was a leader, but a quiet leader. His gentle unassuming manner endeared him to people in all walks of life. He served in the Western Canadian mission and fulfilled many church callings including Bishop of the North Canyon Sixth Ward and President of the Bountiful Utah North Canyon Stake. Faith in Jesus Christ was at the core of his actions.
Jim is survived by his beloved wife Julie Ann. He made her life so good. He is also survived by his five children: Marci (Marc) Modersitzki, Michelle (Joel) Wilson, Marisa (Judson) Wall, Michael (Jen) Larson, and Matt (Caroline) Larson, 14 adoring grandchildren, siblings Jerry W (Jan) Larson and Linda (Jim) Carter, and sisters-in-law Karen Larson and LeVae (Kip) Heiner. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers Bruce DeLyn and Brent Lyle Larson.
Funeral Service
Wednesday October 9, 2013, 11:00 at Foothill Ward BuildingFuneral services and viewings will be held at the North Salt Lake Stake Center, 900 South Eaglepoint Drive.

Genealogical Society Webmasters
Welcome to the Genealogical Society Webmasters home page. We are, as the name implies, a group of individuals who are actively involved in creating and maintaining the on-line presence (web page, Blog, Facebook Page, Twitter Account and/or Wiki) of a Genealogical Society.
We have an active group discussion under way on Facebook ( http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/GenSocWebmasters/ ). It is a closed group, which means that you will not be able to view the discussion unless/until one of the groups administrators adds you to the group.
Group members (and, hopefully, others) are also in the process of creating and updating additional pages on a variety of topics of interest. These pages are available to anybody: we encourage those with an interest to make full use of the information. We also hope that anybody with information to add will take advantage of the fact that this is a wiki and edit the pages.
Content Management Software (CMS)[edit | edit source]
As the name implies, a Content Management Software (CMS) package provides a framework that is used to create the web site. Once the initial structure is created this allows users to focus on the content rather than on the mechanics of presenting the information. This has several advantages:
- They provide a very consistent look and feel for the entire web site.
- Websites tend to be very standards compliant. This means that the content will be displayed 'correctly' on all browsers and all types of devices (including often overlooked smart phones).
- Since knowledge of HTML and CSS is not required, it 'lowers the barrier' for creating and managing content. This may make it possible for a society to have more people creating content.

House Republicans were skeptical when their No. 3 leader started talking back in September about using the budget reconciliation process to defund Planned Parenthood, knowing full well it would be vetoed by President Barack Obama. Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., though, still counts it as one of the GOP's biggest victories of the 114th Congress. Ever since the GOP captured the majority in the Senate, Republican lawmakers had been holding out on using the Senate filibuster-proof process until there was a solid plan of attack to dismantle elements of the Affordable Care Act.
The Planned Parenthood elements muddled that strategy a bit; many Republicans wanted to use the appropriations process to address Planned Parenthood, even though that raised the specter of a government shutdown.

"On a mission to bring the music industry back down to earth. Young singer song writter desporate to leave school and move to london. Looking for people to let me support them. Well in to indi music thogh not impressed by this new indi scene of constant rolling out of new bands and the whole scencster image tho i am one of them but at least i know it....where did the indi in individual go ay. I love playing and listening to new people who send a shiver down my spine."
Written-up, I guess, some time before **Laura Marling had met anyone to spin her myth in press releases, this early 'About Me' is still useful for something scribbled down like an afterthought, the blots of music scenes miss-spelt in a young singer's rush to find a mic stand and a dark room in her closest capital city. Or some such shit. Myth spun, then, in the cosily tossed-off style of Hype! Today!, but while that sentimental picture of a London-bound troubadour continues to grow around Marling with the release of her debut album, you'd imagine the girl to find all the exclamation rather embarrassing. The leaner, earlier version of events is a much better fit for the awkward teenager clinging to the walls of Alas, I Cannot Swim.
Alas, poured thick around that record is a context, and while submitting to the dumb, hall-of-mirrors verbiage makes me feel as crude as pointing out Adele as the elephant in the room, Laura Marling's debut means so much more when it's taken with 19_ and Duffy's forthcoming _Rockferry. While the latter's yet to arrive, all the evidence has it marked out as middle-aged radio stationary – glitzier than Adele's darts WAG dribbling, but essentially standards sung in the classical style, (i.e. showy vocal exercises that turn into panicked wailing when the lyrics run out). Marling's cut is leaner, bridled either by design, tender years or her own awkwardness – obvious when you compare respective appearances for Jools Holland and Jonathon Ross (Marling, Adele, Duffy), and note the fact that no-one's trying to sell Marling's debut record with a picture of her face (Marling, Adele, Duffy). Obviously Alas... isn't 40 minutes or so of arcane noisenik freak-out, but it _is_ a different record.
How so? I'd say more in execution than in sentiment, but then I guess if you had really been fucked over in life you wouldn't have the energy to scream over awful Tampax-jazz backing tracks, or at least you'd have dwelt on the broken heart aching in your chest for long enough to have something interesting to say about the sorry organ. Where Adele sounds like a method actor, Marling weaves secretive threads of thought that suggest she's agonised over things long enough for them to come together with a thud in plain-spoken full stops.
"Lover, please do not / fall to your knees / it's not like I believe in / everlasting love" is the weary claim made by the chorus of 'Ghosts', the album's first and best track. If that cynicism comes over rare for a 18 year old girl, it's delivered in a way to make it the most believable thing you've ever heard, music as spare as pointless sentiment, vocal wavering only slightly from deadpan. Restraint, again, is key: "Stood at the table where she sat / and removed his hat / in respect of her presence" Marling continues, with the instant ability to make us believe that a world in which a man removes his hat at the presence of a lady still exists somewhere. It's all down to the measure of bare bones production - just vocals and guitar before modest strings, brushed drums or xylophone are added only where necessary - and Marling's skill at making one word bleed with more meaning than half a dozen or so vainglorious chorus lines.
Other highlights come in the doomed drums and frail bravery of 'Night Terror', 'Shine''s reluctant pleading for the return of something lost and the barely audible buzz and whir of 'Captain and the Hour Glass'. All tracks that, like their parent album, satisfy more for what they don't say than what they do. Which is quite a spoilsport for any hopes of a runaway word count, but still, who needs the babbled chatter when you've had it from the fawn's mouth. Laura Marling is a new person who will occasionally "send a shiver down your spine", those shudders sure to come more frequent with the steady passing of time.

My Palate Press article for this month is about why wanting authentic wine makes most of us hypocrites. I'm not talking about preaching wines of place in public and then buying Cupcake when no one's watching at the grocery store, though there's that. I'm talking about saying that we want wine to taste of its place, probably even truly believing it, but then really wanting wine to taste like the stuff we're accustomed to liking. Drinking wine you like is fine — more than fine, in fact — but we run into real problems trying to compare or rank (formally or informally) wines from around the world: some authentic wines will always be underprivileged because their authentic flavors either don't look like the established gold standards or just aren't as nice. it leaves you one of three choices. 1. Drop ideas about wine tasting authentically of its place and look for producers who are just trying to match the global gold standards. 2. Burn the democratic wine flag and accept that some wines are the poor and downtrodden. 3. Stop comparing wines from different regions and love each in its own special, unique way. The argument in more detail, and with a cute dog picture, is here.
authentic wine
Are historical arguments about "authentic wine" good for anything? (No.)
My June article for Palate Press aimed to take a sensible look at rationale for allowing sulfur dioxide in "natural wines" when adding anything other than sulfur dioxide is widely accepted as not okay. (The short version: the only logical argument I can see is that sulfur dioxide aims to protect what the wine already has rather than add or change something; otherwise, we're left with the entirely unsatisfactory argument that SO2 is extremely useful…but so are other additives.) Trying to pin down "natural wine" is trouble, but "authentic wine" is even worse. I've been thinking a good deal recently about both.
First, let me be clear: I think that the idea of authentic wine has a lot going for it. It's intuitive: wine that's less "messed with" seems as though it should have more soul, be somehow truer and realer than wine pulled and pushed through lots of chemical manipulations. And you can taste it. Revelatory wines — the ones that make you stop to think that wine is capable of more than just yumminess — are usually less manipulated, more authentic.
That said, talking about "authentic wine" as "wine the way it's always been made" or wine made using traditional methods raises my hackles. "Traditional" is only ever relevant with respect to a specific time frame. I can say that a family cookie recipe is traditional, but at some point a grandmother must have come up with it or cut it out of a magazine, and in any case if we go back very far the grandmothers wouldn't have had modern baking powder, so are my cookies authentic?
Russian tea cakes are a traditional Christmas favorite in my family, passed down from my mother's side. What we call a Russian tea cake is similar to the nut balls or Mexican wedding cookies many folk make – a half dome-shaped mouthful of nutty, buttery yumminess dusted in powdered sugar – but no one else's recipe is quite like ours. Betty Crocker and Smitten Kitchen and a pile of other bakers think they have a Russian tea cake recipe, but they're wrong. Ours are the best. Unlike most, just a few tablespoons of flour are used to bind the nuts together and the concoction is only very lightly sweet: the flavor of the nuts and the butter is the point. And it is, of course, sacrilegious to make these at any time other than Christmas.
For as long as I can remember (until I moved to New Zealand and couldn't come home for Christmas), every third week of December my mother and I have whipped up at least one and usually two batches in her 1980's-era Cuisinart, first processing the whole walnuts (or pecans, for the second batch) into meal, then adding the butter, then the two tablespoons of flour and sugar and the all-important vanilla. But as a girl, the eldest of six children growing up in a tiny square house in semi-rural Ohio, it was my mother's job to do the whole job by hand. Fail to chop the pecans (because in those days they were always pecans) finely enough and the cookies wouldn't hold together properly. Naturally, my grandmother didn't own a Cuisinart: I don't think they'd been invented yet and, even if they had, I'm sure she wouldn't have owned one with her tiny kitchen and tight budget.
One year when I was in my early twenties, I decided that I wanted to make a batch of Russian tea cakes for my friends before I flew home to my parents' house for Christmas. I didn't and still don't own a food processor, so I chopped those nuts by hand – and the cookies weren't as good. Doing it the traditional way made for frustratingly crumbly, uneven cookies. In this case, the machine could do a better job than me and my knife. I'm glad to have done it, for the sake of appreciating how my mother and grandmother operated, but I've not attempted it since.
I don't know where my mother's mother's mother got the recipe, or if I need to add more mothers to that litany. I do know that my grandmother always used pecans because my grandfather had friends and family in Louisiana where they could get bountious bag-fulls of the genuine Southern article, and that my mother usually uses walnuts, because my father prefers walnuts and because they moved to California after getting married where walnuts came in bag-fulls and pecans mostly didn't. I know that the cookies I've grown up eating aren't the same as the ones my grandmother knew, not only because of the Cuisinart but because my rather well-to-do mother has switched to using excellent European butter and mail-order Tahitian vanilla instead of the McCormick's stuff. My own innovation is to use whole wheat flour—the cookies are ever so slightly crumblier (only a problem sans Cuisinart), but the flavor accentuates the cookies' nuttiness. Mine are the best.
Are my cookies inauthentic? I'm not sure, because if every woman in her turn tweaked the recipe a little, was there ever any such thing as an authentic Russian tea cake in the first place? Who's to say? Did the Cuisinart technology corrupt the genuine article? Quite the contrary. No woman and her cleaver are going to be able to chop nuts as finely and evenly as a good food processor and, in this case, uniformity is a good thing.
I won't make Russian tea cakes without a food processor…well, maybe I might twist my own arm on that one of these years if I continue to live food processor-less. What I definitely won't do is make Russian tea cakes and add butylated hydroxyanisole to them to "preserve freshness." Sure, these cookies go stale if you let them sit on a too-warm counter too long because all of those nut oils which you've liberally exposed to the oxygen-rich air will oxidize or, in other words, go rancid. (Mother-approved tip: this is why you wait until the first batch is nearly gone before making the second instead of trying to whip everything up in advance.) I won't not add butylated hydroxyanisole because it isn't in the traditional recipe. I won't add it because it's butylated hydroxyanisole. Ewww. To be perfectly clear here, I'm not cringing because BHA has a polysyllabic chemical name – there; the abbreviation solves that problem – but because it's a synthetic laboratory product that never occurs in food. It doesn't help that several lab studies say it causes cancer in rodents, even if those rodents were given far more than two or three mouse-sized cookies' worth of the stuff. Maybe more relevantly, I wouldn't add even the best concentrated nut flavoring to "beef up" the nut flavor because I want to taste the real nuts here. It's important to take care to choose really good, fresh, flavorful nuts for this recipe, and it would be anathema to the spirit of the recipe to make the flavor about some artificially constructed ideal of perfect nuttiness. Moreover, the cookie wouldn't be as good.
I've been talking cookies. What if I instead imagine a traditional family chardonnay recipe? If I'm staying true to the spirit of the recipe – maybe it's a nutty, buttery little chardonnay – but using better technology because doing so allows me to make a better wine, splendid. Who cares whether it's "authentic" or not (keeping in mind that we can only define "authentic" with respect to a specific version of the ever-changing recipe to call the wine), if it's tasty and meaningful? Adding potentially dangerous non-food ingredients isn't okay because people shouldn't eat non-foods. Adding (or removing) extra sugar or acid might be a problem if the point of doing so was mimicking some ideal wine at the expense of doing justice to really good grapes. But using contemporary technology (does Cuisinart make winery equipment?) to make the wine taste better, or to make the wine more consistent?
The College of Humanities at the University of Utah produced a splendid poster featuring what has become one of my favorite maxims: science can tell you how to clone a tyrannosaurus rex; humanities can tell you why this might be a bad idea. Maybe authentic wine is made the way wine should be made, in contradistinction to the way wine can be made. Maybe that makes authentic wine a very personal concept, or maybe the well-educated wine philosophers and wine scientists among us can help establish a sense of universal wine ethics for us to live by. But, in any case, those judgements about authenticity have to come from thoughtful reasoning about the difference between what we can do and whether or not it's a good idea. The historical argument is a lazy oenophile's shortcut.

Reinsdorf extols Jackie's influence in game
CHICAGO -- On the 67th anniversary of Jackie Robinson's breaking of the color barrier in Major League Baseball, White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf recalled that the biggest question on April 15, 1947, was not the color of Robinson's skin, but rather: Could he play?
"It was all about what kind of a ballplayer he was," said Reinsdorf, who grew up in Brooklyn as a diehard fan of Robinson's Dodgers.
"I watched this interview with Ralph Branca, and what Ralph said [jogged] my memory -- it wasn't that big a deal," Reinsdorf recalled while speaking to the media following Tuesday's panel discussion on Robinson and his impact on sports and society at the U.S. Cellular Field Conference and Learning Center. "It was a question of if he could play. And when he came up -- and he was only hitting about .240-something into May -- and so there were some questions about whether he was going to be a good enough player. Spider Jorgensen [another rookie] looked like he might be a better player, then Jackie took off and became very popular. But it was all based upon [whether] could he play."
Reinsdorf was joined by White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams and Dr. Carol Adams, CEO of DuSable Museum of African American History, in an informative hour-long discussion, with the audience filled by students from local Chicago high schools such as Kenwood Academy, King College Prep, Leo High School, Seton Academy and Simeon Career Academy. They discussed Robinson's impact on history, but they also talked about the opportunities provided by the way Robinson handled breaking the color barrier.
"We're going through a real turmoil right now," Reinsdorf said. "Sometimes, there are more opportunities for minorities than there are for whites right now, trying to get things even. But at the same time, there's also a lot of doors that are still closed.
"So we're not there, and it evolves. A number of years ago, we didn't have any black managers. Jackie's last public appearance, he said he would feel fulfilled if he looked over in the dugout saw a black manager. And he died a couple months later. Well, Frank Robinson became the first black manager, there was a big to-do about that, but still there were very few black managers.
"Eventually, we got black managers, and then we arrived at the point where a black manager could be fired and no one would say anything about it. I mean, that was important, too, because it meant that he wasn't getting any pluses or any minuses. He was being judged on his own performance. Now a black manager is hired, nobody comments that he's black. When he gets fired, nobody comments that he's black. That's all well and good. But yet, the thing that bothers me is that racism still exists on both sides."
That is a problem that cannot be overcome by just one man, Williams said, but rather must be solved by all of us.
"If Jackie were standing here, I believe he would not say that he did it alone," Williams said. "One of the things that I pointed to the group is, I don't want people to think that oppression is overcome by that one particular group who is being oppressed fighting the cause. It is a humanity issue, and humanity has to fight the cause together: black, white, brown, whatever, has to fight it together. So he had help. We have to do it collectively. That's what humanity is."
Robinson's humanity and perseverance in the face of hostility no doubt contributed to Williams becoming the first African-American general manager in Chicago sports history in October 2000.
"Maybe that would ultimately, over time, have happened," Williams said. "Again, history's timeline was sped up, because Branch Rickey had the courage and Jackie met the challenge."
While there are more challenges ahead -- Williams mentioned Major League Baseball ownership as another color barrier still to be broken -- it is also true that many opportunities exist that certainly weren't there decades ago. Williams encouraged the students to grab those opportunities, whatever they may be.
Christian Medley, a student from King College Prep, told the panel during a question-and-answer portion of the program that he is going to Morehouse College to major in finance on tennis and academic scholarships. Using sports to get an education and further develop his life drew a smile and a handshake from Williams.
That opportunity for Medley, although in a different sport, was a testament to Robinson's legacy.
"Only Jackie Robinson could have done what he did," Medley said. "That's what makes him truly remarkable."
"Not everyone is athletically inclined," Williams said. "So my point is, whatever your talent, whatever your gift is, whatever your desire is, push yourself to the limits to achieve, to ignore the obstacles that may be in front of you and persevere. If you do that, then things more than likely will guide you. You'll have a path to some sort of measureable success."

The latest figures have been suppressed.
It used to be that the two year old numbers were readily available.
The latest "official" statistics that I can find are from 2009-2010.
It has been over five years without an update.
Although issued in 2014, the most up-to-date CDC released data is from 2009.
Here is the Social Security data: http://www.ssa.gov/oact/STATS/table4c6.html
The American population reduction (coordinated by the Executive Branch of the United States of America's federal government) is in full swing, however the results are being hidden from view.
GMO contaminated food - omnipresent and increasing EMFs (cell phone/Wi-Fi) - mind eating vaccines - Fukushima fallout - artifical sweeteners - plastic food containers - water fluoridation
Those detrimental environmental factors do combine synergistically, but you will not be informed about it, you'll have to research.
The answer to the topic question is yes, but it seems that no one in charge really cares about it in a positive way.

America's Cup ruling delayed by divided jury
Recommended Video:
The jury is still out.
A five-member jury of the International Sailing Federation said Wednesday it will announce a decision Thursday on a protest by two teams in the Louis Vuitton Cup challenger series over new rules regarding rudder wings.
The decision will be posted at 11 a.m. on the Cup's website, americascup.com
Because the jury has been deliberating the matter since Monday morning, it's apparent that the panel has been deeply divided. Even before formally convening, the jurors had been trying to resolve the issue in mediation last week.
The jury consists of chairman David Tillett of Australia, Graham McKenzie of New Zealand, Bryan Willis of Malaysia, John Doerr of Great Britain and Josje Hofland of the Netherlands.
The announcement is expected to come a little over an hour before Luna Rossa is expected to make its first appearance of the regatta. The Italian team has said it won't sail until the jury rules.
Meanwhile, Sweden's Artemis Racing, the scheduled opponent, is still trying to put its boat together after a tragic wreck in May.
After a pair of solo sails by Team New Zealand, the first genuine race of the challenger series won't come until Saturday, when Luna Rossa meets the Kiwis.
Regatta director Iain Murray had made wider, heavier rudder wings part of the new safety rules he issued May 22, two weeks after Sweden's Artemis Racing capsized, killing British sailor Andrew "Bart" Simpson.
Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa both protested that edict on the grounds that it was a change in the class rules that required unanimous consent by the teams. They contend the change wouldn't make the boats safer and could give Oracle Team USA a competitive advantage because of the special design of its two boats.
Murray said last week that if the jury upheld the protests he would inform the Coast Guard he doesn't think the racing would be safe. The Coast Guard has issued a permit for the regatta but could revoke it if the regatta director deemed the racing unsafe. The regatta could not go on without a permit.
Artemis Racing CEO Paul Cayard has said that if the jury adopted the position on rudder wings that Luna Rossa and Team New Zealand advocated, Artemis would have to drop out of the competition. It would take too long to reconfigure the boat to accommodate such a change, he said.
While the jury was deliberating, America's Cup and Louis Vuitton officials denied a report that the French retailer, the primary sponsor of the challenger series, wants a lot of its money back.
A New Zealand newspaper reported that Louis Vuitton wants $3 million refunded because only three teams entered the competition for the chance to take on defending champion Oracle Team USA.
"We are not asking for anything back," Louis Vuitton Cup director Christine Belanger said. "But I'm not going to discuss our contracts."
The New Zealand Herald reported that Bruno Trouble, whom it identified as the company's ambassador to the America's Cup, was "not happy" with the challenger series so far.
Trouble, a former America's Cup sailor for France, was upset that the opening day of the regatta was overshadowed by Luna Rossa's decision not to race until its protest of the rules change was resolved. Louis Vuitton's initial sponsorship was for $10 million, the paper said.
The company's contract was based on at least eight teams taking part in the Louis Vuitton Cup, according to the newspaper.
America's Cup CEO Stephen Barclay said he wouldn't go into detail on his organization's contracts with sponsors but said the report was "factually incorrect."

Newsday reports that, Tom Davis, the ranking Republican on the congressional committee investigating steroid use, said that Pettitte, in last week's deposition, backed up McNamee's account "in most details".
A congressional staff member and several other people familiar with the case said that Pettitte did not want to have to testify publicly, on national television, and perhaps be forced to reiterate statements that would not be in Clemens's interest. ...
After Pettitte gave a two-and-a-half-hour deposition to committee lawyers Feb. 4, he emerged looking shaken.
The Post claims that
Pettitte verified a story McNamee told in his deposition about training at Clemens' home in 2002 with both Clemens and Pettitte. McNamee said that during a break, Pettitte said to him something like, "How come you don't give me the same stuff you give Roger?" indicating Clemens told Pettitte about his human growth hormone use.Meanwhile, Clemens's attorney Rusty Hardin was taken to task by House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chair Henry Waxman for comments he made about FBI agent Jeff Novitzky.
Meanwhile, there is this:
[John] Rocker said that doctors from management and the players' association, following a spring training talk with the Texas Rangers about steroids and other topics, pulled himself, A-Rod, Rafael Palmeiro and Ivan Rodriguez aside. Rocker was with the Rangers in 2002.
"Look guys, if you take one kind of steroid, you don't triple stack them and take them 10 months out of the year like Lyle Alzado did," Rocker said the doctors told them. "If you do it responsibly, it's not going to hurt you."

Mindy McCready's boyfriend David Wilson appears to have committed suicide at his Arkansas home on Sunday night.
The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office says that the 34-year-old record producer died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the New York Daily News.
Emergency personnel arrived at the scene at around 6:15 p.m. and transported Wilson to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
U.S. & World
Why did Mindy McCready think she was expecting twins?
Wilson was the father of the second of McCready's two sons, 9-month-old Zayne. The I'm Still Here artist also has a 6-year-old, Zander, with singer Billy McKnight.
"Today, we mourn the loss of my life partner and my children's father, David Wilson," McCready said in a statement today. "David was my soulmate; he was a caregiver and guiding hand to our sons, Zander and Zayne. He was a precious gift from God to all of us and, yesterday, he returned home and is now with his mother and father.
"David loved and he was loved. Those who knew and loved him will miss him; those who did not know David missed the opportunity to know a truly loving and gifted man."

Some people refer to them as models, but whatever you call them, they often come in several design variants called elevations.

The Orioles are looking to further bolster their amateur scouting department by adding a second national crosschecker, and they are focusing on a candidate that has strong ties to the organization and executive vice president Dan Duquette.
The Orioles have asked for and been granted permission to interview Matt Haas, the Eastern U.S. crosschecker for the Miami Marlins. Teams typically permit their staff to interview with other clubs only if it signifies a promotion, which this would.
Haas is considered the Orioles' primary target for the position, which is responsible for analyzing high school and college players that have been targeted by regional scouts and then enumerating those players in order of preference in preparation for the June first-year player draft.
Duquette wouldn't comment on Haas, except to confirm that the club did ask to interview him. Duquette also acknowledged that he is looking to add another national crosschecker.
"We looking to put together a staff with one crosschecker specializing in pitching and one that specializes in scouting the position players," Duquette said. "We are looking at that right now."
If Haas is hired, the Orioles' top amateur scouts will have a impenetrable bond. The 40-year-old Haas is the older brother of current Orioles national crosschecker Danny, who was hired last year. They are the sons of Eddie Haas, a former major league player and manager and one of Duquette's mentors and confidants.
Although some organizations have two national crosscheckers, that hasn't always been the case with the Orioles. Last year, however, they had Danny Haas and Ron Hopkins until Hopkins was relieved of his duties in June after the club cited philosophical differences.
Filling the position continues Duquette's plan of strengthening the organization's amateur ranks.
Besides genetics, Matt Haas has plenty of connections with the current Orioles' front office. He, his brother and Orioles' director of scouting Gary Rajsich were scouts together in the Boston Red Sox organization while Duquette was the Red Sox GM in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Haas spent four years as a minor league corner infielder and outfielder in the Montreal Expos organization, and was originally drafted (but didn't sign) out of high school by the Expos while Duquette was in the club's front office as farm director.
When Duquette took over the Orioles last November he stressed the importance of having better drafts, and made some drastic changes to scouting, including the demotion of pro director Lee MacPhail IV, the dissolution of the pro scouting department and the streamlining of all scouts under Rajsich, the new director.
The changes this winter have been more subtle. The Orioles hired Kirk Fredriksson as an amateur scout in New England to replace Ted Lekas, one of the former pro scouts whose duties shifted in 2012. Lekas is looking to return to pro scouting work for another organization when his contract expires in December.
And MacPhail IV, the nephew of former team president Andy MacPhail, took a pro scouting job with the Seattle Mariners this week. A Friends School graduate who was in his second stint with the Orioles, spent the past five years in Baltimore.
After four seasons as pro scouting director, his position was eliminated and, ultimately, he spent last season working as a pro scout, mainly at the minor league level. He said a long-time friendship with Seattle's pro scouting director Tom Allison was instrumental in his decision to leave the Orioles.
"It was an opportunity I couldn't pass up," MacPhail IV said. "It was an opportunity to work for someone who is a very good friend and someone I have admired for a long time and to be part of his team is hard to turn down."
MASN first reported MacPhail IV's departure.

text: When I first saw the Brookstone Pop-up Mini Speaker it looked, as you would expect, small. My first thought was that this mini-device couldn't possibly produce enough high quality sound to be worth its $29.95 pricetag. I plugged it into my smart phone and surprisingly it got quite loud and still sounded good. Still skeptical, I used it with my MP3 player and was still happy with the results. My only gripe: You're supposed to be able to "pop up" the silver cap to enjoy deep full bass but when I "popped up" I only discerned a slight difference in bass level. Next I tried using it with my laptop to watch TV shows online and I was elated to find that it really pumped up the volume, which is sometimes problematic for me. I also liked the convenience of the retractable cord that made it easy to put it away quickly without a tangled mess of wires. Even though the speaker doesn't get great bass, I was still happy with its sound quality and recommend it if you're looking for a small speaker to use with a portable device.
