Dillon's #3 Chevy Triggers Memories
Some fans feel strongly that NASCAR should have retired Earnhardt's #3 following his death in the 2001 Daytona 500. The sanctioning body does not retire numbers, however, creating at least the possibility that the number could be used again one day in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
There are probably only two people who could return Earnhardt's #3 to the race track without invoking the wrath of NASCAR Nation; Dale Earnhardt, Jr. and Richard Childress. Earnhardt actually did so last season, driving a retro-themed #3 Wrangler Chevrolet to Victory Lane in NASCAR Nationwide Series competition at Daytona International Speedway. In Victory Lane, he announced that he would never again drive a car emblazoned with his father's former number, and there has been no change of heart since then.
Childress, however, has campaigned the legendary #3 for a number of years since Earnhardt's death, emblazoning it on the quarter panels of grandson Austin Dillon's dirt Late Models, and more recently on his Camping World Truck Series entries. Now, Dillon will carry the number to the Nationwide Series in 2012, hopefully with the blessing of NASCAR Nation.
Bottom Line? The #3 did not make the late Dale Earnhardt who he was. In fact, just the opposite is true. Earnhardt made the #3.
NASCAR pioneers Joe Littlejohn, Herschel McGriff, Dick Rathmann, Paul Goldsmith, Tim Flock, Cotton Owens, Fireball Roberts, David Pearson, Lee Roy Yarbrough, Charlie Glotzback and Buck and Buddy Baker (among others) all spent considerable time behind the wheel of #3 entries in what is now the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. Junior Johnson authored a Hall Of Fame driving career with #3 on his door, and Childress himself used it throughout his 12-year driving career. Ricky Rudd steered Childress' #3 Chevrolet between Earnhardt's two driving stints with RCR, proving beyond all doubt that the #3 had its own claim to fame, long before "The Intimidator" came along.
Earnhardt did most of his early racing in cars with his father's traditional #8 on the doors, before winning the first of his seven Cup championships in -– gasp –- a #2 Wrangler-backed Chevrolet owned by Rod Osterlund.
The facts don't lie. Dale Earnhardt was a champion with or without the #3 on his door. The #3 won championships with and without Earnhardt at the wheel. Numbers are nothing more than symbols; a splotch of paint (or these days, a hunk of vinyl) on the door of a race car. They have no more to do with success or failure than the color of the car, and nobody's upset about drivers campaigning black race cars.
Numbers are not heroes. The men who drive them are.

Amen brother!!! As a huge Dale Earnhardt fan I LOVE seeing the 3 back on the track!!!ReplyDelete

NASCAR "owns" the number and sells them to the teams. Despite what most people think, Childress has more claim to the number than anyone else; The iconic, stylized #3 has already been trademarked to be used as Childress sees fit; as a matter of fact, ever since Sr. died, Childress has "purchased" the number every year since 2001 so that no one else could use it. The number "belongs" to Childress so get over it, already...ReplyDelete

I'm glad to see it. It's time to put it back out there full time. I think Dale would be proud to see Richard's grandson driving it. I hope Austin does well in Nationwide and carries it to the Cup series and wins championships with it.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous12:35 PM
I think the best way to remember Dale is to see that number on the track. I know it is not the same circumstances, but every time the 43 car is shown on TV I think of "The King". Right now, I see the 3 truck, I think of Dale.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous2:45 PM
Come on people dale is gone and we do miss him but Austin is a great driver and every good driver needs a peace of the spot light. Let's go number 3 time to shine again.....ReplyDelete
It'd be nice to see Austin design a new graphic treatment of the #3 that is his own. But that's the only compromise; he needs to run the #3.ReplyDelete
We keep hearing about how NASCAR is a team sport, yet Dale Sr. "made" the number three? Seems Richard Childress might have had a hand in the past glories of the black 3 car. More power to him and good luck to Austin.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:57 AM
Nice article. As a longtime Earnhardt fan I have no issue with the number 3 on the track. It's not the number it's the man and in the Nationwide series that number was used by Jr. not Sr.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous11:06 PM
The No. 3 belongs on the track to honor Dale Earnhardt. Austin Dillon can carry it to new success and bring back wonderful memories of a great hero to all. Good luck, Austin. Hopefully, Richard will reconsider his initial thoughts and allow Austin to take the number into Cup.ReplyDelete

That number belongs on the track. A grace period was in order, but there would be nothing cooler than seeing the #3 back in action.ReplyDelete

Have some AMA clips that is offline. Creating a new bin and link them again, but the clips in the origin bin do not get linked again. Is there any other method to do this?
What kind of files? Volume-based footage (like RED, XDCAM, P2) should work this way, but file-based media can be relinked directly.
Let us know what you're trying to do and we can help. Also the MC version would be helpful.
-- Kevin
hmm ok, then it is file-based media. (various types of mobile-cam media, go pro etc)
Those you should be able to use the Relink to Files... option when you right-click on the file.
hmm. correct. How could I miss that? :-P
I have a question on this topic- Is there a trick to get Media Composer to relink a bunch of files from the same path, instead of individually relinking them? In many applications, if you relink one clip the application will automatically relink the rest of the clips from that same path. Can you do this in Avid? I've just been making a new bin and re AMA importing all the clips. Just wondering if there is a way to do this easily with Relink to Files...

Letters to the editor
Spectrometry versus spectroscopy redux
In his letter to the editor (C&EN, Aug. 27, page 3), O. David Sparkman complains that the table of contents headline for the C&EN cover story of May 28 uses the term mass "spectroscopy," insisting that there "is no such thing." The International Union of Pure & Applied Chemistry, an acknowledged expert source for nomenclature and terminology, refers to its published recommendation "Recommendations for Nomenclature and Symbolism for Mass Spectroscopy," and the very first paragraph commences with the definition "Mass Spectroscopy is the study of systems by causing the formation of gaseous ions, with or without fragmentation, which are then characterized by their mass-to-charge ratios and relative abundances" (Pure Appl. Chem. 1991, DOI: 10.1351/pac199163101541). Sparkman argues that scientific peer review would have caught the alleged error, but it would also have caught his misinformation about the term and left it intact. There are many other spectroscopies as well that are not confined to the electromagnetic spectrum.

Project SEED
This has been a phenomenal year for Project SEED, the American Chemical Society program for economically disadvantaged high school students who do chemically based research in government, industrial, and academic labs during the summer break. A volunteer program that achieves its 50th anniversary—with a grand symposium in Boston, SEED student posters, and receptions with Nobel laureate and SEED champion professor Fraser Stoddart—is worthy of all this hoopla.
I write to remind readers that SEED started because of the activism in 1968 of Alan Nixon of the ACS California Section. Nixon had the great idea of having an ACS program for people who were not members, including young people. How revolutionary! He proposed it in the Western Regional Caucus meeting, where it was unanimously supported. Our late colleague and councilor Glenn Fuller relayed the excitement surrounding this proposal that was subsequently brought to the council floor a few days later. Again, it was approved. The more than 10,500 SEED participants since 1968 have Nixon to thank for this unique opportunity. He also served as ACS president and chair of the SEED committee and was an inspiring local section colleague. Imagine Nixon, on a walker in his late 80s, attending the California Section SEED student symposia and asking technical questions of the student speakers. He is definitely worth remembering.
Nixon's idea has been far reaching: Look at all the programs ACS has today that benefit individuals who are not chemists.

New gameplay trailer for Aurum Kings!!
I would love some feedback on the general look/ feel of the game that you got from that trailer
Aurum Kings is a 2-4 player couch competitive game where the goal is to use your abilities that you pick at the beginning of each round to hold onto the crown for the longest period of time.
Does anything about the UI confuse you?
What abilities do you think would be cool to add?
Anything you would suggest to change about the art?
Does the game make sense to you?
Does this seem generally fun, if so then why?
I currently have no background music, what kind of music comes to mind when you watch this? (What instruments, tempo, etc.)
The player model is temporary right now, what do you suggest I could do to match the style of the game?
Any feedback is much appreciated!

I was employed as a UPS driver. Female UPS drivers are a minority, most drivers are male. All UPS drivers work long hours. Being a single parent took most of the rest of my time. As my daughter grew, she needed me less. I wanted to find a way to make friends outside of work and I was also interested in doing some service in my community. A customer on my route invited me to a Sigma Phi Gamma social, it turned out to be just what I was looking for – friends and service to my community combined.
Together we are one in Friendship, Service, and Community – Sigma Phi Gamma! That's the slogan of our International President, Donna Collins.
Every year since joining SPG I've made friends with Sisters around the country and some in Canada too. Those friendships extend beyond sorority. I have visited Sisters who live in other areas, Sisters have come to visit me. I play Words with Friends, and keep in touch with Sisters on Facebook, we chat on the phone and go places together. Some of us may only get together once a year for the International Convention but as friends we stay connected throughout the year. I'm glad to have such close friends.
Service and community go hand-in-hand. Some projects are supported by donations, others are supported by hands-on help. Working with my Sisters to help our communities is good for the communities and leaves me with a good feeling! Sigma Phi Gamma Sisters have tried to exemplify Donna's slogan for almost 100 years! I'm glad I joined SPG! Do you want more friends? Do you want to help in your community? Then join Sigma Phi Gamma you'll be glad you did!

Masters of Photography - Nadar
Nadar was the pseudonym of Gaspard-Félix Tournachon (April 6, 1820 -- March 21, 1910), a French photographer, caricaturist, journalist, novelist and balloonist.
Nadar was born in 1820 in Paris (although some sources state Lyon). He was a caricaturist for Le Charivari in 1848. In 1849 he created the Revue comique and the Petit journal pour rire. He took his first photographs in 1853 and in 1858 became the first person to take aerial photographs.
Around 1863, Nadar built a huge (6000 m³) hot air balloon named Le Géant ("The Giant"), thereby inspiring Jules Verne's Five Weeks in a Balloon. The "Géant" project was unsuccessful and convinced him that the future belonged to heavier-than-air machines. Afterwards "The Society for the Encouragement of Aerial Locomotion by Means of Heavier than Air Machines" was established, with Nadar as president and Verne as secretary. Nadar was also the inspiration for the character of Michael Ardan in From the Earth to the Moon.
On his visit to Brussels with the Géant, on September 26, 1864, Nadar erected mobile barriers to keep the crowd at a safe distance. Up to this day, mobile barriers are known in Belgium as Nadar barriers.
In April 1874, he lent his photo studio to a group of painters, thus making the first exhibition of the Impressionists possible. He photographed Victor Hugo on his death-bed in 1885. He is credited with having published (in 1886) the first photo-interview (of famous chemist Michel Eugène Chevreul, then a centenarian), and also took erotic photographs.
From 1895 until his return to Paris in 1909 the Nadar photo studio was in Marseille.
On his passing in 1910, Nadar was buried in Le Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. The character of "Michel Ardan" in Verne's De la Terre à la Lune (From Earth to the Moon) is inspired by Nadar.

Valdosta State brings back Bioblitz this Saturday
April 12, 2019
VALDOSTA, Ga. (WCTV) -- Valdosta State University is bringing back a popular opportunity to embrace biology.
On Saturday, Valdosta State will host its second Bioblitz at Grassy Pond. It's a chance for the community to work alongside scientists and local experts to learn about different species in the region.
The goal of a Bioblitz is to identify as many species as possible in a 24 hour period.
The university held its first Bioblitz last fall. The group found a new species of lichen, never before spotted in the United States.
Organizers said discoveries like those are what this event is all about.
"The species that are in a location change all the time," said biology professor Emily Cantonwine. "It's really wise to just go out there and just monitor the species you have at a location, and a Bioblitz is just a way to get the public involved. So they are learning as the scientists are actually out there exploring."
The Bioblitz will run all day Saturday at Grassy Pond. The event is free and open to the public.
Participants can learn how to identify species, from insects, birds and other wildlife.
There will also be scavenger hunts and opportunities to learn about nature photography.
Organizers said there will be activities catered for all ages, and you do not need to be an expert to enjoy the experience.

Eminent domain used in establishing trolley stop and parking area
Traffic congestion is a serious problem in some areas of California. As areas continue to grow and expand, the need to relieve some of this congestion also grows. Most of the time, the property needed to facilitate this must be acquired from private individuals and various businesses. The process of acquiring this private property for public use is referred to as eminent domain.
The San Diego Association of Governments has recognized the need to extend the Mid-Coast Trolley line in an effort to relieve congestion within its area of concern. The association claims that this trolley line extension will assist in removing some of the traffic from San Diego's roadways throughout the day and especially during times of peak travel. However, in order to make the extension happen, the association will need to acquire the necessary property. La Jolla Village Square is the current owner of the property in question.
In an effort to obtain this property, condemnation proceedings have begun and the owner and tenants affected have been notified. The proposed extension will actually only affect a part of the parking lot associated with this property. This area is needed as a Trolley stop and area for patrons to park.
In this particular case, it is possible that the condemnation and eminent domain process can be settled without actually going to court. While this is often the best case scenario, there are times when a California business may find it necessary to take the matter before the courts. When this happens, an experienced eminent domain attorney can be essential.

2006-07-09 - Steamer
For the last few days I've been running a series of photos taken during a portrait workshop. The location for the shoot was the local botanical gardens, which, as you can see, is complete with its own steam engine. It was in full swing that day so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to take a couple of shots.
Add a Comment
Fred A shot like this would be nice to see a B&W version too... just to see what it looks like. It's nice to see the old boys operating the engine... and a propper steam engine also.
Ashish Sidapara Lovely shot, nice colors and dof!
Stephen Cameron That's a good suggestion about the b&w version, Fred. I had a quick go at it so far I'm not satisfied with the result. I think the light may be a little too even - b&w shots are often helped by high contrast...

We're going to go through a number of guitar playing skills. For each one, select if you can already do it and if it's a skill you want to have. If you're not interested in that skill, just leave it blank.Play basic guitar chordsI can do thisI want to do thisFinger and easily use the open chords on guitar like D, G, C, A, E, etc.Basic chords are the foundation of playing guitar regardless of what style of music you want to play. It's important to be able to finger the chords so they sound clear without buzzing or muted notes. Many students start by learning a few chords and then apply them to songs. This is a good way to get started, but if you're not careful there's one clear drawback. By learning songs you're dividing your attention in many different directions… melody, lyrics, strumming, etc. It's difficult to solve issues with the chords unless you narrow down your focus. To solve you can use my step-by-step system to learn the basic chords quickly so you can go on to use them in songs. Change chords in timeI can do thisI want to do thisChanging chords from one to the other smoothly without stopping or slowing downFingering chords accurately is important, but equally important is being able to change from one chord to the other in time.This is a stumbling block for many students and is likely the biggest issue I see with self-taught beginners in my music school. One of the problems is that when you get accustomed to slowing down to change chords it's a difficult habit to break. Sometimes it's even difficult to detect because it begins to sound normal. To avoid this problem I have students practice chords in groups called common chord patterns. This way they learn the chords in a way that they're often used in popular music. It's also helpful to practice with a timekeeping device like a metronome or drum machine. Sometimes it's difficult to detect changes in rhythm unless there's something to measure against. The key is to start slow and play in time… Then speed up little by little. There's more on my blog on changing chords quickly and smoothly.Clean sounding chordsI can do thisI want to do thisIt's common when learning chords that some of the strings will either buzz or be muted out. Nothing takes the place of practice and experience, but here are a few tips to help… 1) Try to place your finger as close to the fret is possible without putting it on top. If the finger is too far back the string will tend to buzz against the fret. If it's on top of the fret it will sound muted. 2) It helps to have a good arc in your fingers when forming chords. I'm talking about going up and straight down on the fretboard. This will allow you to put enough pressure on the string without straining. 3) Practice placing your fingers on the guitar in the form of a chord, strum the chords and see how it sounds, then adjust your fingers and see what it takes to improve the sound. After about 10 seconds of doing this take your fingers off and start again. Do this a little each day and you'll see the sound begin to improve. Here's some more help: Real Secret To Playing Chords Effortlessly Without Muting Strings Play bar chordsI can do thisI want to do thisBar chords are the single biggest hurdle for beginning guitar players. Being able to play bar chords is a milestone that opens up a whole new world of playing guitar possibilities. Unfortunately for many it's a painful experience. Some even choose to just avoid playing bar chords, missing out on the whole bunch of guitar playing fun. Though it might seem that bar chords are difficult, in reality it's the haphazard approach that makes it difficult. By preparing properly and practicing systematically you'll find playing bar chords to be fairly painless. Here's a step-by-step systematic approach to making bar chords easy along with some tips on how to place the fingers properly… this will save you a lot of time and frustration: How To Play Bar Chords With Ease And Grace Tuning my guitarI can do thisI want to do thisIf a guitar needs to be tuned before playing, you can do this by ear without needing an electronic tuner.There are several methods I teach students to tune the guitar depending on the situation. The most common is to use electronics tuner. Nowadays they're easy to use, accurate and affordable. I also teach how to tune by ear so when you find yourself without a tuner you can still tune the guitar to itself. I've created a video that shows several different methods: How to Tune Your GuitarReading music notationI can do thisI want to do thisYou can read traditional "score" notation and play from sheet music. Among the many questions beginning guitar students ask, this is the one I get often: "Do I need to learn how to read guitar notes?" Some might think it's obvious that if you want to play an instrument that you must read music. Others point to the many rock guitarists that apparently don't read a note and question if they should waste their time with following little dots on paper. The truth is, you don't have to read music to play guitar. In fact, many well-known guitarists don't read traditional notes. But… and you knew there was a "but"… there are some clear advantages, and it's really not that difficult or mystical as it might initially appear on the surface. To learn more and access a free Guitar Note Chart go here: Guitar Notes: Best Method And Free Guitar Notes Chart Understand guitar theoryI can do thisI want to do thisYou know and understand the basic concepts of how music works and why certain notes and rhythms sound better than others.Guitar theory should be learned little by little as part of a balanced program for learning to play guitar. This includes learning the terminology that will allow you to talk to other music players. By understanding some of the mechanics of how music works and the language involved you will gain a sense of confidence that the uninitiated long for. To make the most of your effort follow these guidelines: 1) Learn in small bites. Absorb and apply what you learn. This will help you connect it to the guitar and playing music. 2) Study in the correct order. Start with intervals, then learn how to apply this knowledge to chords and scales. 3). Using your ears is essential. Don't settle for intellectual understanding only. Learn to identify the sound of intervals, chords and scales. 4) Make time to let go of thinking about music theory and just play from your heart. No amount of intellectual knowledge can replace inspiration. Here's a place to get started: Guitar theory should be learned little by little as part of a balanced program for learning to play guitar.

Here's a place to get started: Guitar Theory That Doesn't SuckJamming with other musiciansI can do thisI want to do thisWhen a group of musicians are informally playing live together you can join them confidently.Jamming with other musicians can be a lot of fun and is a great way to get better. You end up playing longer with others and you'll learn new things from them at the same time. It also can be scary. The easiest way to get started jamming is to have one person play rhythm guitar using chords and have another person playing the lead (or melody) guitar. The rhythm guitar plays the chords in a particular key. I recommend the key of A which would be the A chord, D chord and E7 chord. The lead guitar plays individual notes from a scale in the key of A. If you want to play in the style of blues or rock I recommend using the A minor pentatonic scale. If you happen have a drummer to keep the beat all the better, but not necessary. Performing confidently liveI can do thisI want to do thisYou can perform a piece you've learned in front of a live audience.I'm naturally on the introverted side and playing in front of others used to be really difficult. Over the years I've learned how to work with this to the point where I enjoy performing. I still feel nervous, but it's a nervous energy that actually makes it more exciting instead of being debilitating. Here are the two main things I've discovered: 1) Be prepared. I used to practice until I felt I was almost there and then assume I'd work it out on the fly. Not! Practice the material until you can play it by yourself easily. Then practice it some more. 2) To deal with the actual fear of performing in front of others there's really only one thing that works. Psychologists call it systematic desensitization. That's a fancy word for doing it over and over. Start small, with one or two people and play something easy. Then push your comfort zone little by little. Keep looking for opportunities to play for others. Creating my own musicI can do thisI want to do thisYou can write songs or compose music to express your own musical ideas.One of the most enjoyable aspects of music is creating your own. It can, however, seem sort of daunting. There is no one right way to create music, but here are some tips that can help you get started: 1) Listen to music with the intention of getting ideas on what you like and don't like. 2) Learn the basics of music… Especially common chord patterns. Much of popular music is created using common patterns and if you can play these patterns as a starting point to create your own music. 3) Experiment and makeup short chord progressions and melodic phrases that sound good to you. Record these on a recording device such as your mobile phone. 4) When you've collected enough recordings take time to listen to your recordings and see if any of them can fit together. It's common practice for both writers and composers to collect bits and pieces and then combine them together into larger works. 5) When combining bits and pieces try to think about what would sound good as a verse and what would some good as a chorus. The chorus should repeat regularly and stay pretty much the same. The verse can vary more. This form is commonly called ABAB. Try to organize your music this way to give it a sense of structure. There are other structures but it's good to start with a simple one. 6) If creating your own music is important to you this is something you'll want to work at a little every day along with practicing the mechanics of playing the guitar and learning music fundamentals. Improvising a soloI can do thisI want to do thisYou can make up a short original melody on the spot, to match a piece of music.My favorite part of performing is exploring different notes while expressing myself through improvisation. I love when I can travel off the "beaten path". Improvisation may seem mystical witnessing it in the moment. I can assure you it's not. The best way to get started is to first learn and practice a scale. If you're just getting started I recommend the A minor pentatonic scale. This is a common scale to use for rock and blues music. First practice the basic scale in one position on the guitar. Then practice different variations or exercises derived from the scale so that you can start and stop at different places within the scale. At the same time practice playing some licks that are composed of notes from this scale. Licks are short little phrases that you can practice ahead of time. When you practice the phrase enough you'll be able to play it with ease. Start with three or four fairly easy licks. You can always add to your "repertoire" as you progress. Now the fun part. Play along with chord changes. You can create your own by recording yourself playing chords and then playing it back while you practice improvising. There are also many pre-recorded backing tracks that you can use online. Make sure the chord changes are in the same key as your scale and licks...in this case A. You can also practice by playing with another guitar player. One guitar player plays the chords while the other practices improvising. Then you switch roles so everyone gets a chance. Do this a little bit every day either with backing tracks or with another guitar player. As time goes on you can add to your "lick" repertoire, learn new scales and practice over different chord progressions. As you progress you'll be able to listen to guitar solos that you like and borrow licks and phrases to add to your own playing. Here's some more help getting started: How to Improvise a Solo With The A minor Pentatonic Scale (with free backing track) Strum and sing at the same timeI can do thisI want to do thisYou can strum chords and sing along without fumbling or losing your place. When you watch someone who's been playing and singing for years it looks as if it's as easy as walking down the street. But when you try it you realize it's not as easy as it looks. It reminds me of patting my head and rubbing my tummy at the same time. The key is to get one of the actions going without having to think about it too much. For some who are more experienced at singing it's easiest to focus on the guitar and let the singing take care of itself. For most, however, it's best to practice the guitar chords separately until it becomes fairly automatic... Then add the singing. Here's a step-by-step approach to getting started playing and singing at the same time. 1) Chose a song that uses only two or three chords and that you know. 2) Strum the chords to the song straight down just to keep time. 3) Now "sing" the melody using syllables such as "la, la, la". Listen carefully to where the chords change with the melody. 4) When this seems reasonably comfortable replace the "la, la, la" with the lyrics of the song. Don't try to add embellishments or style to the vocal part yet. Just sing the melody as clearly as possible. 5) Now replace the straight down strums with a strumming pattern. Do this by practicing the strumming pattern with the chords first, then adding it to the song. 6) Finally work to add style to the vocal part to make it sound more musical... keeping in mind that sometimes less is more. One of the best things you can do when learning guitar is to learn a few common chord patterns and practice them until you can play them automatically... without thinking. Then when choosing songs look for ones that are composed from those chord patterns. You can learn more about common chord patterns here: The Power Of Chord Patterns Play fingerpicking patternsI can do thisI want to do thisYou can play a number of fingerpicking patterns using your fingers or finger picks.Many songs lend themselves well to fingerpicking as opposed to strumming. Being able to play even a handful of fingerpicking patterns will add a tremendous amount of variety to your guitar playing. When learning your first fingerpicking patterns it's important to learn good basic technique. You'll be creating habits that will allow you to play easily and effortlessly. Start with a basic pattern. Place your thumb on the bass note and one finger on each note of the chord. If you start with a C chord for example, you would place your thumb on the 5th string, your first finger on the 4th string, your 3rd finger on the 3rd string and your 3rd finger on the 2nd string. Now press the thumb down to sound the bass note. Pull each finger into the palm, starting with the first finger, until you've played all four notes. Once you can do this evenly try moving to another chord. A good exercise would be to go from the C chord to the G chord. Go slow and try to get the notes as even as possible. You'll likely find it most difficult to stay even when 1) placing your fingers back on the strings, and 2) changing chords. In the beginning you'll need to work on the right-hand first and get comfortable with the motion of plucking the strings and replacing the fingers. Little by little, with practice, it will become one fluid motion. Be patient with yourself… but persistent. Keep coming back at it a little bit each day. Check in with your right hand regularly to make sure you're staying relaxed. Stop and shake out your hand if you need to... then start up again. For more help you can check out this video: Fingerpicking Magic | Guitar Fingerpicking Basics Play solo fingerstyle guitarI can do thisI want to do thisYou can play songs using your fingers that include both the chords and melody… sounding like a complete song without singing.There are many different approaches to learning to play fingerstyle guitar. The classical approach is typically to learn single note melody, then add harmonies with your thumb. The pop approach is to start with chords, then add finger picking parts for the melody. To get started, learn some basic fingerpicking patterns using basic chords. Start with simple songs with simple chords. And over time you will develop an ear for hearing how the melodies interact with the chords. Here's an order for playing a solo fingerstyle song that has worked for many students: 1) Chose a simple 2 or 3 chord song with a melody you know. 2) Play the melody by itself. 3) Play the chords in a simple strumming pattern. 4) Play the chords on the "long" notes only (1.5 beats and longer). 5) Play the chord on the first beat of each measure. 6) Put the melody note inside of the chord if it's not already in there. Here's a detailed lesson using this process: Happy Birthday Fingerstyle Solo Use jazzy chordsI can do thisI want to do thisYou can play more elaborate or "extended" chords and use them effectively in songs and chord progressions (such as Cmaj9, D7#9, Am7b5…)It can be a lot of fun to learn new chords. I think of it like learning new vocabulary. I encourage you to make learning new guitar chords a regular part of your learning program. What I call "jazzy chords" are chords that use more extensions than most standard folk or pop/rock guitar chords. They often have more dissonance (or tension) built into them. They have names like Dm9, G7(#5), FMaj7, A13(b9), and so on. Of course there's not a clear line drawn in the sand. I often find I can use extended or "jazzy chords" in other styles of music to add a little spice. The real key to learning new jazz guitar chords is to practice them in some type of progression that makes sense. In the same way that it's important to use new words you learn in a sentence, these progressions can be used to strengthen your command of the chords. Here's a video with several "jazzy chords" and a system for learning them in a practical way: Jazz Guitar Chords Progression #1 Playing from a lead sheetI can do thisI want to do thisYou can perform a song using just the simplified "lead sheet" or "chord chart".To take full advantage of sheet music would require learning how to read music. However you can use many aspects of lead sheets to help play songs on guitar without actually "reading" the notes. The most common way a guitarist uses sheet music is as a chord chart. This means that you are following the chords and supply the appropriate guitar strumming pattern. This does generally require that you know the song well enough to be able to figure out an appropriate strumming pattern and to know if what you're playing sounds right. When I use sheet music this way I'm just using the chord symbols as a guide and using my ears to hear where the chords fits with the melody. If you want to play the melody of the song on guitar you will either need to learn to read standard music notation (recommended) or find music that has the guitar tablature written out underneath the standard notation. You'll find step-by-step instructions and a free download here: How To Read Sheet Music For Guitar Playing songs by earI can do thisI want to do thisYou can hear a sequence of chords and play them back on your instrument without needing written music.Being able to listen to a song and play the chords and melody is a very valuable skill. It is, however, a skill that most people will need to develop over a period of time and with practice. The best thing you can do is to learn common chord patterns. It's much easier to hear a pattern than to distinguish an individual chord. Most popular music is either based on a common pattern, or at least uses a pattern somewhere in the song. By practicing the chord patterns, over time, you'll be able to recognize them in songs. Here are some tips that will help you to develop the skill of playing songs by ear: 1) Start with simple songs. This is a skill that you'll have to develop. I recommend simple folk songs or children songs for practice. 2) Listen for the movement from one chord to another. See if you can identify a common chord pattern. 3) Some find it easiest to identify chords from the bass notes. Try listening to the bassline and play it on your guitar. Then for each bass note identify by ear what type of chord uses that note in the bass. 4) Some find it easier to work from the melody. Try humming along with the melody and then play it on your guitar. From there experiment with chords that fit with the melody, going back and forth with the song to see if it sounds right. 5) I actually use a combination of the two. I go back and forth between the bass line and the melody. 6) If I get stuck I resort to a web search to see if someone has written out the chords. Even though a lot of stuff on the web is not accurate, sometimes it'll help me find that one chord that I can't seem to get.

Carpenter vs. General Contractor
Both carpenters and contractors know the nuts and bolts, butthey perform very different tasks. A good carpenter can help incountless ways, from building a bookcase to raising a house frame,but don't confuse a carpenter with a general contractor.
A general contractor finds and supervises subcontractors, buildsyour house to meet code, and makes or breaks your timeline andbudget. In short, this is one powerful individual. So how do youfind the right one? No specific regulations govern the licensingand business practices of general contractors, so you'll have torely on word of mouth. Talk to friends who have recently built, orask experienced builders and architects for recommendations. Onceyou have some contenders, follow these rules to ensure a goodworking relationship.
Always check for insurance. According to U.S. News & World Report, a contractor needs at least $1million in general liability insurance. Accidents that happen onthe job (both to workers and to the surrounding property) can endup costing you if the contractor isn't properly insured.
Get at least three bids and three references. Ask forreferences from contractors' most recent clients, as well as photosof completed jobs. Check to make sure the lowest bid includes allof the work you have discussed.
Have a written contract. Include start date, date ofcompletion, all of the contractor's responsibilities, and any otherstipulations, such as asking him to work only on your job untilit's complete. Sample contracts can be found at the AssociatedGeneral Contractors of America's Web site, agc.org.
Never pay in cash. Agree on a payment schedule in thecontract, and resist paying more than 10 percent down. Do not makea final payment until you are completely satisfied. If a contractordoesn't agree to this, you may need to work with anotherprofessional.

On February 24, 2019, 8:07 a.m. the Cumberland Police responded to the Allegany County Animal Shelter in the 700 block of Furnace Street for a burglary complaint. When officers arrived they met with volunteer staff who advised them that an outbuilding that contained cats for adoption had been burglarized. Officers further learned that sometime during the evening of February 23rd or the early morning of February 24th someone had forced the door open to the building. The suspect then intentionally opened the cages and removed the animals or let them loose. The Cumberland Police are asking anyone with information about this crime to contact the Allegany County Crime Solvers or the Cumberland City Police.
One Response to "City Police Investigating Burglary Compaint At Allegany Co. Animal Shelter"
This is as much animal abuse as the non-human female who shot her boyfriend's dog in cold blood. So, appropriately, when this no-good, single-celled organism is found, throw the book at it! Allegany County has THE only no-kill facility in the state, not to mention all the good they do with fundraisers and adoptions, and this idiot sets the cats free to roam again, starve, or get killed? NO! Not here, not in my city. Let the justice system make an example!

"Hello, I would love to get my wet sloppy tongue all over your face." If dogs could talk, I guess that is how the conversation on licking you would go. But unfortunately, they don't speak. And that conversation never happens; they just start smooching! All over your face, sometimes your mouth, your legs or even your hands. If you are a new pet parent, then dog licks may be a whole new world for you, and you might be wondering what on earth is this all about!
Well, there is no blanket answer to that question.
Perhaps because dogs, just like us, are unique in their own ways – each dog has its own set of behaviours. It's great to understand your dog's behaviour as that is the first step in the toolbag to modify behaviour if you need to.
Here are some of the reasons your dog might like licking you
To show you affection
Dogs are naturally affectionate animals. And as a pet parent, especially if you are the top dog and the one that feeds the dog, all this love will be directed towards you. That's why after leaving your dog at home all day for work, she can't wait to get up close and personal the minute you walk through the door. All those dog licks are simply because she missed you and is a sign of love. And as she licks you, endorphins which are happiness hormones are released from her brain thus calming her and reassuring her that you love her too. Sometimes your dog could just randomly shower you with licks – that may be because he sensed you are sad or feeling low and just wants to cheer you up.
To Know You By Your Unique Taste
Dogs commonly identify us based on our distinctive odour. Similarly, our skin taste is also distinct. When we sweat, our skin's pores release salts. The tastes of these salts are unique to everyone. Therefore, when your dog licks you or anyone else, it will register the unique taste of the skin, commit it to its memory and always identify the individual correctly from a dog lick. Your buddy may just be trying to get to know you better.
To get your attention
Oh yes, your dog can tell when you are not all about them. They don't always like it. Just like children who will do anything to get their parent's attention, so do dogs. And licking you is the easiest way. Whether it is by licking your hand while making sounds or going full into your face with wet kisses, they will get the job done. Now, you know why you are referred to as a pet "parent". Your dog is just like a child.
To communicate with you.
Barking and wagging of the tail are the viewed as the most dominant ways in which dogs communicate. This is true, however, licking should be added to the list. Sometimes the reason your dog is licking you may be because they are trying to tell you something. Maybe she wants to play a game of fetch. Or he would like some food. Just pay attention, and you will be able to tell what it is your dog is trying to tell you.
You taste good!
Yes, it can be that simple. Your dog likes your taste, and he can't stop himself from running his tongue all over you whenever he can. Dogs genuinely love the salty, sweaty taste of our skins. So, sometimes the reason for the dog lick is because your dog just wants to taste you.
Is Licking Bad?
Every time you get a dog lick, it could be for any of the above reasons. But in many cases it is a learned behaviour. Dog's get attention when they lick, so from their perspective, the more licking hte better! It's pretty normal and healthy for dogs to lick individuals that they feel comfortable around. But just because dogs love licking us, it doesn't mean we have to love it too. If you don't enjoy the dog licks or find them excessive, here a few tips to curb the behaviour:
- Every time your dog licks you, walk into another room.
- If your dog licks you when you are petting it, stop the petting.
- When your dog licks you for attention, ignore him – otherwise you are reinforcing the behaviour
Dogs are intelligent animals; they know how to interpret our actions and make meaning from them. So your buddy will get the message loud and clear and quit with the excessive licking. As much as licking is a very natural and normal habit for dogs, it could be a cause for concern sometimes. If you notice that your dog's licking has become excessive, or the licking intensifies, say, when you are about to take them for a walk, then you may want to pay more attention and probably consult your vet, or a professional trainer / behaviourist. This may be a sign of underlying issues that the dog may not be able to express.
Take it easy with your best friend. Let him have his fun with you. A good wet smooch never hurt anybody.

Guys and Dolls is a musical standard. It's a show with a cheesy plot devised of equal parts heart and humor. It's not particularly scandalous in any way and despite being in part about gamblers, the show is clean, sweet, and in a word, fun. The characters all have hearts of gold and I'm not spoiling anything by telling you, the happy ending you see coming from the first scene, doesn't disappoint. South Bay Musical Theatre embraces the fun of this show and they clearly have fun doing it.
This cast is…experienced…in life. If you're looking for dashing young gangsters in their 20's and 30's, this isn't your show. Looking for hot young things playing the Hot Box Girls? You won't find many here. But, I don't mean that to sound like a bad thing, just against type, which once you get over it, it doesn't prove to be a big deal. The women filing the hot box roles are mostly older, but they work it. They wear their modest yet sexy burlesque outfits with pride and confidence and for the most part they win you over. They have their dance steps down and smile while doing them and that all you can ask for, right?
Our Sky Masterson was a very gentle interpretation I'd say. I didn't personally buy a sly, sharp, competitive gambler in the early scenes, but I was charmed by the romantic side of the character later on. The choices made by Miss Adelaide, though not terribly original or unpredictable by any stretch of the imagination, were however comedic bull's-eyes and crowd-pleasing for sure. Nathan and the rest of the gamblers were high-energy and held their own in the acting department. Singing–wise, nothing stood out but it wasn't lacking really either. The standouts for me vocally were Sarah Brown and a top-notch performance from the actor bringing sincere depth and sincerity to Arvide Abernathy.
Indeed this is a cast of colorful characters, literally. Bright color abounds in the set and costume which are fun and happy, but if you're looking for a period piece, this is not your show. Fabrics are modern in texture, form and hue and in many cases captured the spirit of the piece, not necessarily the era.
Opening night the orchestra seemed a bit nervous and the notes didn't all get hit, but overall an on tempo and balanced sound. Do note that the first three rows of the audience for this performance serve as the pit and you will want to sit center of the house for the best visual and audio experience. I'm always a bit chilly in this theatre, and for 3 hours you may be more comfortable in layers.
I've seen many other productions of Guys and Dolls. I've seen better. I've also seen ones that totally missed the mark. Although this production is not perfect, it is fun and it will likely brighten your day to see actors having a fabulous time delivering punch lines and singing their hearts out. 3 jewels out of 5 in the royal review tiara for a show that is hard not to like no matter what. Guys and Dolls plays through June 9th at the Saratoga Civic Theater in Saratoga.
Dinner Theatre Pairing: Saratoga is not lacking in fine dining to be sure, but sometimes it's hard to justify the price of a really upscale restaurant if you aren't with a special someone. The good news is there are plenty of middle of the road dining options in Saratoga that are good and won't break the bank whether you are with a group, or flying solo. I hadn't had Thai food in a while so I looked around for a nearby place to satisfy my craving. I ended up at the Mint Leaf Cuisine less than 2 miles from the saratoga civic theatre. I got there a bit early, so parking wasn't a problem, but I suspect the closer you get to 6:30pm on the weekend, the harder you have finding a spot.
Aside from the most beautiful wood carved menu I've seen, by far the highlight of the night was the Saratoga Curry Puffs, a curry chicken and potato stuffed pastry in a delicious thick, peanut sauce served with cucumber salad which you could easily make into a meal in itself. The curry puff presentation was particularly unique as well, four separate super cute little boats! The fried salmon nori appetizer was more of an acquired taste, though not bad, just a bit of a let down after the amazing curry puffs. I opted for the toasted coconut shrimp salad for my main course which came on a bed of spinach with lime cubes, fresh ginger, and citrus vinaigrette. The flavors were strong and textures odd, but the shrimp were delicious and overall, although I had to think about it a bit, I enjoyed it. A very interesting meal, worth a second visit I feel to get a sense of the other possible hidden menu gems. If I wereto go again, I might order another appetizer (they looked great at the table next to me) instead a of salad or main, but the menu choices are plentiful and the atmosphere warm and pleasant.

High salt intake leads to kidney trouble in most people. As amount of sodium increases, body needs more water to dilute it, hence leading to excess water retention. Which in turn leads to increase work load for Heart and exerts more pressure on blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Prolong period of similar lifestyle with excess salt leads to increase incidence of heart disease and kidney diseases.
Incidence of various illnesses increases. These are
- Blood Pressure
- Stroke
- Coronary Heart disease
- Osteoporosis
- Cancer of stomach
- Kidney stones and kidney diseases
- Water retention and increase in weight
- Obesity
- Vascular dermatitis
- Indirectly by increasing BP, it can increase the incidence of Diabetes, Meniere's Disease, Asthma
So best is to avoid Junk food (any food which we have to remove wrapper or open a packet, chances are that it will be bad for your health). Instead if we are using naturally occurring food like salads, fresh fruits , vegetables etc , it will be much better.
Discuss with your Dietician or consult your doctor for proper diet chart as per age.

JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes
9:30 a.m. Saturday, March 19, 2011
Lori Wilson Park, Cocoa Beach, FL
Come out to Lori Wilson Park in Cocoa Beach, Florida this Saturday for a family day of fun in the sun to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. The Walk to Cure Juvenile Diabetes begins at 9:30 a.m. There will be plenty of activities for the kids to enjoy like crafts and a bounce house, so be sure to stop by and support JDRF in its mission to find a cure.
Juvenile Diabetes is an auto-immune disease where a person's cells attack the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin. One mother explained that her daughter must check her blood sugar before each meal, before exercising, and at 2 a.m.! Treatment includes 1-4 insulin injections a day to maintain proper blood sugar levels. Her child must also count and record all of the carbohydrates she eats at every meal and report this information each week to her doctor to help manage her care.
If you can't attend, please make a donation to one of the many teams, like Team Abby Rose, participating in this event to help those living with this disease look forward to a cure.

New Jersey town wants to be residents' designated driver
A southern New Jersey town hopes to end drunken driving by being its residents' designated driver.
As part of a 30-day pilot program, Evesham Township will operate a shuttle system to take people home on weekends from bars.
NJ.com reports the shuttle will make five stops near nine drinking establishments around the Burlington County town. Sober Sam, a company that drives people and their vehicles home from bars, will also provide free rides for township residents.
Mayor Randy Brown encouraged residents to have a great time, adding that the town "will get you home for free."
Police Chief Christopher Chew says there hasn't been a fatal drunken driving crash in town in six years. But they're on pace to arrest more than 220 people on DWI charges this year.

Here we are, we have arrived at the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Goddess is now full and pregnant with Child, and the Sun God is at the height of His virility. This is the peak of the Solar year and the Sun is at the height of its life-giving power. The Earth is awash with fertility and fulfillment and this is a time of joy and celebration, of expansiveness and the celebration of achievements.
Yet within this climax is the whisper and promise of a return to the Dark. As the Light reaches its peak so this is also the moment when the power of the Sun begins to wane. From now on the days grow shorter and the nights grow longer and we are drawn back into the Dark to complete the Wheel of the Year.
At this time the God, as Oak King, is rich in abundance, but he…

When I choose Investing | Online Activities | Download Historical Prices | Update Now, the One Step Update Status window pops up, with Historical Security Prices ticked, and flashes Contacting Internet... then Saving... then just sits like that indefinitely until I cancel. After cancel, the One Step Update Summary window pops up, saying Financial Institutions Updated, where the list is empty (blank) ie the updates are not happening.
What's going on, Rav? Can you please explain and expedite a fix?
Thanks for your reports on this. I'm not quite sure what's caused this yet but have reported your cases and will follow up with the full team when they're back on board first thing Monday.
Will keep you posted.
We're investigating this issue, nothing new to share yet but will come back to the thread as soon as new info comes to hand.
Keeping you customers informed would be greatly appreciated.
As stated above, I've committed to providing updates to the thread as soon as further information on progress is available. Definitely understand that its a frustrating not to mention inconvenient one and the team are working very hard on addressing this problem. Latest update below.
Work is continuing on this issue. The team look to have isolated the cause of the problem which is at the data source and we're looking at formulating the best options on how to tackle the issue and restore US share price downloads.
More info to follow.
Hi Folks
I am also having the same problem I had last year with Australian prices not showing as updated until I go to another date and then back to today's date. This was fixed last year with a new version of qwutil.dll. Is another version of this dll going to be released?
I'm hoping to have further news on it this afternoon and will update you on progress as soon as I can.
I've just been informed that further work needs to be conducted to address this issue.
Definitely appreciate it's not the news you're looking for at this stage however I'll ensure to keep you updated on progress as it unfolds tomorrow.
Thank you all for your patience.
Two obvious questions; if this is the case, what are the changes and how much notice was given?
Is it commercial or is it technical? What is required to rectify the issue and how long will it take?
Hi All
It appears that we have this same problem each year about this time. This would indicate that it is probably an issue with the data feed.
As I mentioned in my last post, the problem with the US shares not updating appears to be connected with the AUS shares not showing as being updated (even though they are!) until you go to another date and then back again. This was the same problem as last year - see
It was fixed last year with the issue by Reckon of a new qwutil.dll which fixed both the US prices not updating and the AUS prices not showing as updated.
If this has happened before, surely it should not be too difficult to fix this time?
Looking forward to this problem being resolved!
Terry :)
Just to be clear, this is a technical issue. The team have conducted investigation work and believe they have formulated a solution. At this stage however, the full development team and resources are currently putting the finishing touches on the EOFY releases across our range of products.
We're hoping to assign a developer to this task early next week.
I fully appreciate that news may be disappointing, the team are fully aware of all your feedback and frustration in regard to this issue and are aiming to resolve this as soon as they can.
Will you communicate to all User's (Customers) when the problem is solved and if we need to do anything as part of the fix? I recall last year we had to download some files to fix it. It is a bit frustrating that this has happened once again this year. I have a number of USD stocks and are reliant on the updated prices to tidy up my end of year financial affairs. Cheers
How can you treat your customers with such disdain, Rav?
At this stage we're looking to have development resources freed up to work on this toward the end of the week. The team have been, and currently are, working through GovConnect changes among others coming in the EOFY updates to the business range which has utilised all development resources before its imminent release.
I've created a seperate post in regard to this issue and further updates will be made there -
Feel free to hit the follow button on that thread to remain up to date on news in relation to this problem as it comes to hand.

How Elver Eels Became America's Hottest Black-Market Item
In the dark of the night, a group of fishermen huddles around a net. They're gathered at a riverbank in Ellsworth, Maine, collecting one of the most lucrative seafood in the world: elvers, or baby glass eels. A 5-gallon bucket brimming with these translucent creatures is worth $32,500—higher than prices for gold. "It's like Christmas!" exclaims Rick Sibley, one of the fishermen. "I can't wait to see what's in that net." This would all come crashing down in 2014.
