It seems years ago now, well in fact it was years ago, but Kieran Richardson's loan move to West Brom back in 2005 proved to be one of the most genius pieces of Premier League business in the history of the competition. The former Manchester United youngster was in lethal form and at times appeared to be keeping the Baggies up single-handed. At the end of the season, West Brom avoided relegation with much of the plaudits going to their young loan signing.
The English top flight is littered with youngsters just waiting for a first-team opportunity and the chance to make a difference at a smaller club in order to stake a claim for a first team spot back at their parent club.
We don't have room to tell you all of them, so here is a collection of the Top 15 Premier League youngsters that clubs should consider loaning in January that would be beneficial to both parties.

15-year-old with gun at school arrested
Sheriff, superintendent call for resource officers at every school in Florida
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – A 15-year-old Leon High School student in Tallahassee was arrested Thursday by a school resource officer and charged with bringing an unloaded gun to campus.
Investigators said the weapon was to be sold after school. It was seen by another student who reported it to a teacher and resource officer.
While some in Florida are calling for arming teachers in the wake of the Connecticut school shooting tragedy, Gov. Rick Scott is being asked to fund school resource officers at every school.
School resource officers have been on high school campuses in Tallahassee since 1981.
"Having a sworn law enforcement officer on campus today made it go even better," Leon High Principal Bobby Epting said of Thursday's arrest. "Obviously, he was here and has the expertise to handle the situation."
Now the Leon County sheriff and school superintendent want the governor to fund resource officers at every school in the state rather than arm teachers. Sheriff Larry Campbell says guns don't belong in the hands of the inexperienced.
"The number of hours that we put in the course of a career makes the law enforcement officer far superior than some civilian that says I know how to use a weapon," Campbell said.
Experts say there is a parallel about the security that was once needed in courthouses and is now needed in schools.
Security was haphazard at Florida courthouses until a judge was shot and killed during a messy divorce. Now, many state lawmakers say a comprehensive review of school security is needed.
"Where we are, how we got to where we are, and what changes we need to make," said state Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee. "This is a serious issue. This is an American tragedy. Our children shouldn't have to go to school being afraid."
Lawmakers will take the first steps at improving school safety at committee hearings in January.
Schools have been required to have a safety plan since 2001. Scott has ordered the Department of Education to review and enhance plans with individual districts.

WASHINGTON -- The CIA's targeted killing program in Pakistan, once the mainstay of President Barack Obama's counterterrorism effort, is winding down.
Because of stricter rules, diplomatic sensitivities and the changing nature of the al-Qaida threat, there hasn't been a U.S. drone strike in Pakistan's tribal areas since Christmas. And American officials say opportunities for drone attacks will dwindle further as the CIA and the military draw down in neighboring Afghanistan, reducing their intelligence-gathering footprint.
"The program (in Pakistan) appears to have ended," said Peter Bergen, who has closely studied drone strikes for the New America Foundation, a Washington think tank.
U.S. officials won't go that far, but Obama announced this week a plan to pull nearly all American troops out of Afghanistan by the end of 2016. The targeted killing program in Pakistan relies on drones flown from, and intelligence gathered in, U.S. bases in Afghanistan that would then be closed.
In a major foreign policy speech at the U.S. Military Academy Wednesday, Obama said the U.S. would continue to carry out occasional drone strikes against terrorist targets, but he cited Yemen and Somalia, not Pakistan, where Hellfire missiles once rained down at a rate of two per week.
Armed U.S. drones are still flying over Pakistan's tribal areas, and CIA targeting officers are still nominating militants to the kill list, according to U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to discuss the covert program publicly. But over the last five months, no missiles have been fired.
Several factors are driving the change, U.S. officials say. Many of the senior al-Qaida figures in Pakistan have been killed. Those who remain are much harder to target because they are avoiding mobile phones and traveling with children, benefiting from stricter targeting rules designed to prevent civilian casualties. The drawdown of U.S. troops from Afghanistan has eliminated the need for "force protection" strikes against large gatherings of militants in Pakistan suspected of plotting attacks against American troops.
Also, the tribal areas of Pakistan are no longer the hotbed of al-Qaida activity they once were. Hard core militants from Pakistan have gone to Syria and Yemen, home to Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which U.S. officials consider the most dangerous al-Qaida affiliate.
And Obama administration officials are pushing to have the U.S. military, not the CIA, carry out drone strikes. Since the military generally requires permission from a country to operate on its territory, most analysts don't believe it could carry out regular drone attacks in Pakistan.
The CIA and the White House declined to comment.
For as long as they are able to fly over Pakistan, CIA drones will hunt for senior al-Qaida figures, including Ayman al-Zawahri, the group's leader, U.S. officials say. If the agency gets a clean shot at such a target next week or next year, it will push the button, officials say.
But as the CIA closes its remote Afghanistan outposts where case officers met with Pakistani sources and technicians eavesdropped on cell phones, intelligence collection will dry up, making militants harder to track and hit without harming noncombatants.
"By the end of this year we will have a noticeable degradation in our ability to collect intelligence on people of concern," Rep. Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said.
Without commenting explicitly about drone strikes, Rogers, R-Mich., criticized what he calls "a pullback in the counterterrorism strategy," a move he says "has made Americans a little less safe."
The current drone cease fire in Pakistan is by far the longest pause since President George W. Bush ordered a stepped-up campaign of targeted strikes in that country's tribal area in the summer of 2008. The pace intensified under Obama. All told, there have been 354 strikes in Pakistan since 2004, according to Long War Journal, a website that tracks the strikes through media reports.
But the rate of strikes began falling in 2011 and decreased each year since. Last year, Obama announced stricter targeting criteria, including a provision that no strike would occur unless there was "a near certainty" that civilians would not be harmed.
Even before that, American officials appear to have made the calculation that it was no longer worth attacking lower level militants in Pakistan, given the bitter opposition to the strikes in that country. Two studies, one by the New America Foundation and one by researchers at NYU and Stanford, estimate that as few as 2% of those killed in Pakistan drone strikes since 2004 have been senior militants. Most killed were lower level fighters, and some fraction--how large is disputed--have been civilians.
Obama seemed to allude to the backlash Wednesday when he said, "Our actions should meet a simple test: we must not create more enemies than we take off the battlefield."
In December, the Obama administration reached an informal deal with Pakistan that the CIA would suspend drone strikes -- except against the most senior al-Qaida leaders -- while the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif pursues peace talks with the Taliban. The talks have sputtered, and last week, Pakistani fighter jets killed more than 60 people in North Waziristan, a militant stronghold, according to local media reports.
But Pakistani officials say the cessation in drone strikes has strengthened support for counterterrorism operations among a public that deeply resented an American bombing campaign on its soil. The hiatus has made the government feel that the U.S. is hearing Pakistan's concerns, said one senior official, speaking only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment by name.

Global Warming Contrarians Part 1.1: Amateur Temperature Records9 July 2010
After a two-month hiatus, I've finally completed the next installment in my increasingly non-linear series of posts examining the (mostly bad) arguments against the reality of global warming. Originally I had planned out a sort of arc of subjects to cover, but as I learn more about climate science, I find I want to go back to what I've written previously and add new information, or explain things in a different way — that's why I'm calling this post Part 1.1. So here's a continued version of my argument in favor of the surface temperature record. I discuss one of the latest trends in the climate blogosphere: amateur temperature records.
Claim: The surface temperature record cannot be trusted.
Fact: Recent developments should make us even more confident that the record can indeed be trusted.
As I've mentioned before, there are three main surface temperature records, compiled by NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), and the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), respectively. There is also at least one other that is lesser known: that of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). All of these analyses have been compiled by professional research organizations and published in peer-reviewed scientific journals. All of them converge on a common result: the Earth's surface has warmed about 0.7°C in the last 100 years, and about 0.18°C/decade in the last 25 years. So all the records taken together can be seen as a sort of "consensus temperature record", in which the observed warming is well outside the error bars.
Unfortunately, some members of the public are inclined to believe that this convergence is all part of a huge conspiracy, that scientists are not allowed to get results that contradict the pre-determined conclusions of the so-called "establishment". This view is entirely at odds with my understanding of how science works, but it's a depressingly common one. It's also a difficult view to argue with, because the more positive results you cite, the bigger the conspiracy must be in the eyes of the conspiracy theorists. But what if there was a global temperature analysis entirely independent of the scientific establishment?
You might be surprised to learn this is now the case, thanks to one of the latest trends in the climate blogosphere. In the wake of the "Climategate" scandal (you've probably heard of it — a bunch of private emails between CRU scientists turned up on the internet, and contrarians mined them for suggestive quotes), professional climatologists have redoubled their efforts to make climate science more open and transparent, including making raw data publically available.
The land data comes mostly from the Global Historical Climatology Network (GHCN) of weather stations, although GISS use additional US and Antarctic data. This is combined with sea surface temperature (SST) data from the UK Met Office's Hadley Centre (or NOAA's own SST records in the case of NCDC) to create a global temperature record. The main source of controversy is that CRU also uses private land data, some of which they do not have permission from the original owners to make available. In recent years, this has led to a torrent of FoI requests, and the aforementioned email hacking. However, according to the University of East Anglia, over 95% of their data is available from GHCN; and they have also recently released some more data which they've now gained permission to make public.
Anyway, now the data is becoming more and more accessible, amateur climate bloggers have been using the same data to construct their own temperature records. When I first learned of these endeavours, I was of two minds. On the one hand, I thought these amateurs might be able to make a useful contribution by discovering any major errors or biases in the record. On the other hand, I was apprehensive that if they bungled the whole thing, they might prematurely jump to the conclusion they had discovered further evidence of the aforementioned conspiracy. But on the whole, I considered, a bit of outside scrutiny could only be good for science (though in the short-term, it's a potential public relations disaster).
If the amateurs did get significantly different results, that wouldn't mean we should immediately abandon the professional records; I'd still consider it more likely the professionals got it right because they knew what they were doing. But it would mean that climate scientists would have to go back and check the original results, examine the differences in methodology, to figure out who went wrong and where. And it was always possible that this process might end with a consensus temperature record very different to the one we have now.
If the amateurs got the same or very similar results, that would be a strong confirmation of the original results. Most of these people are self-identified climate "skeptics", "agnostics", or "auditors", who would probably like nothing better than to prove the scientific establishment wrong (especially if they can do it with the scientists' own data!). They are the last people who are likely to fall victim to any "groupthink" within the climate science "establishment".
I don't pretend to understand all the intricacies of reconstructing temperature records (which involves anomaly calculation, spatial weighting, interpolation, etc). You can find plenty of discussion about that on other climate blogs; but it's not what this post is about. I'm more interested in the results. And I have to say the results have been interesting.
It began with the creation of several global land temperature reconstructions by a diverse group of bloggers (generally independent of each other) including Zeke Hausfather of The Blackboard, Nick Barnes of Clear Climate Code (a project to replicate GISS results using clearer processing code), Tamino of Open Mind, Joseph of Residual Analysis, Roman M of Statistics and Other Things, Nick Stokes of Moyhu, and Chad of Trees for the Forest. Their positions in the climate debate range from defenders of the consensus all the way through to complete contrarians who poke fun at professional climatologists. Their results are shown in the following graph from The Blackboard, compared with the "big three" professional records, NCDC, GISS, and CRU:
All of them got similar results to the big three and to each other. The CCC reconstruction is not shown above because it is virtually identical to GISS. Although GISS temperatures appear to be lower than in the other analyses, this turns out to be an artifact of a difference in the way data are weighted according to latitude zone. It's ironic that, despite all the noise contrarians make about GISS being untrustworthy because its director is "alarmist", it actually underestimates the warming over land.
Following on from these successes, Stokes and Hausfather each proceeded to create global reconstructions combining land and ocean data. As with the land reconstructions above, both track the professional records very closely. In fact, they find slightly greater trends in the last 50 years than any of the "big three" (to be precise, 0.150°C/decade in Stokes' analysis and 0.139°C/decade in Hausfather's, compared to 0.135, 0.135, and 0.134 in GISS, CRU, and NCDC).
GISS shows higher temperatures in the last five years than NCDC or CRU. The reason for this discrepancy is widely known: whereas CRU implicitly assumes that temperature anomalies in areas with no station coverage are equal to the global average, the GISS method interpolates values based on data from the closest available stations (I haven't been able to find much info about interpolation in NCDC). Because temperatures are increasing fastest in the Arctic, where there are few stations, this interpolation results in a higher global temperature.
Taking into account the differences in interpolation and combinations of data, the climate blog community is now able to replicate each of the "big three" very closely. A week ago, Hausfather concluded:
It seems that the choice of land temp series, SST temp series, adjustments (raw vs adjusted GHCN, USHCN, urbanization corrections via nightlights, etc), anomaly method, and gridding method does not make an immense difference; regardless of the way you put it together, the data will produce a global surface temperature anomaly similar to the ones in the graphs above.
So these amateur efforts only strengthen the "consensus temperature record" I referred to above. The contrarians have no case against it.
Update 29 July 2010: A comprehensive overview of this topic can be found at Skeptical Science, explaining among other things how we know global warming is not an artifact of GHCN adjustments, declining numbers of stations, stations located at airports, or even raw GHCN data. I intend to post some further thoughts on this soon.

Topic: Machinima Updates
I know a ton of people on here watch a variety of Machinima series. For those who are confused now, I'll just say that Machinima is Machine Cinema, or, more simply, movies made using video games. From comedy to drama, Machinima is nearly as varied as actual TV.
Anyways, half the time, I don't find out about a new episode until days after it comes out. So if people can try to post any updates they find about various series, that'd be great.
Anyways, newest episodes include:
Spriggs Episode 11: Bullet Point--Runninggun Studios (thats a link to their channel, too).
Red vs Blue: Reconstruction: Chapter 5--Roosterteeth
Retaliation: Episode 5: Escalation--Third Day Productions (its a COD4 Machinima)
Nothing new on Pre-game Lobby. But there are 3 parts of the final Deus Ex Machina that recently came out.
Any other questions, comments, or updates can go here, I guess.

Republican leaders in Austin reacted with unmitigated pleasure to the bipartisan deal cut in Washington that would allow the state to receive about $830 million in federal education funding.
A beaming State Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano, said she was "thrilled" about the news.
Official photo
Sen. Florence Shapiro
"You couldn't have gotten $832 million at a better time," said Shapiro, chairman of the Senate Education Committee, who has advocated spending $6 billion more on education than the budget passed by the Texas House. "The timing is perfect."
Shapiro said "a lot of people went to bat" to get the issue resolved, including U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Texas Commissioner of Education Robert Scott.
"It took a lot of people willing to stand up and say 'this is not right,'" she said. "Cooler heads prevailed."
The Washington agreement would repeal a measure written last year by Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Austin, that would require Texas — and no other state — to fulfill special requirements before receiving certain federal education aid. Doggett said today that "our sole objective has remained to ensure that federal aid to education actually aids local Texas schools with additional help rather than being diverted by the state as occurred in 2009 with $3.25 billion of federal aid."
Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst called the repeal — which is contained in the budget deal reached late last Friday as the federal government was on the verge of shutting down — "a big win for Texas taxpayers, teachers and students."
AP photo
"I'm very pleased that Congressman Doggett's unconstitutional amendment — which would have deprived Texas schoolchildren of $830 million — will be repealed," he said. "Texans will also be pleased to know that our state will now be treated fairly and these federal tax dollars we sent to Washington will be put to good use here in our local school districts, supporting teachers and students."
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Steve Ogden, R-Bryan, who is trying to finish the Senate's version of the proposed state budget this week, said, "We'll put it to a good cause. It will go to education, where else?"
Ogden said he believed breakthrough in the impasse occurred when "the new Republican majority was sworn in" in the U.S. House. "Until then, Doggett had a lot of influence to block it," he said.
State Sen. Wendy Davis, a member of the Senate Committee on Education, said the federal money would not solve the state's school funding crunch.
"The budget proposal currently being discussed in the Senate already assumed we would receive the $830 million in federal funds and yet school districts are still slated to receive $4 billion less in state funds."
A Perry spokeswoman was not yet ready to declare victory — the budget deal still must survive U.S. House and Senate votes later this week.
"The governor has made no secret about his desire to repeal the Doggett Amendment in order to access this funding for Texas classrooms," said spokeswoman Catherine Frazier "and we are closely monitoring efforts to repeal it."

He may need a really strongly perfumed shampoo after the brain feeding is over. I didn't expect that outcome in the last panel, I thought he'd just have a big fish feed
Does it work by osmosis?? I'll put some under my wife's pillow.
Perception is such a delicate thing. Bwahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Smelly brain! 🙂
I think he needs more brain food 🙂
After the break: copper bracelets for arthritis sufferers.
That's a bad way to get mercury in one's hair!
That's what I tell my wife when she complains of me eating smelly sardines. 😀
Did you know that if they're canned it doesn't count? The canning process reduces the omega or something
Ah but does it penetrate the blood brain barrier that way? Heck, does it even penetrate Winky's thick wombatoid skull?
Sardine ear rings with a Carp toupe' for me I think. Might as well be fashionable if I have to get smart.
don't know about adding smarts.. but the oils could add some shine, if you do not mind the scaly residue… I think a cheesehead hat would look better 😉 normally they are not edible, but I could make one special for you if you were really, really good 😉

Feds Say Judge Blocking Investigation Access To Laptop Spy Scandal Photos
from the maybe-you-should-have-thought-things-through dept
Things aren't looking too hot for the Pennsylvania school district that thought it would be a good idea to use student laptop webcams to spy on students at home. E-mails acquired by the lawyer heading up a civil suit against the administrator and the school district seem to highlight how the administrator had a wonderful time spying on students, while also indicating that tens of thousands of photos were taken (contrary to district claims that barely any photos were taken). As many of our commenters had wondered, it appears the lawyer may be trying to bolster his case by potentially bringing the administrator up on child porn charges -- assuming the photos involved nudity and were offloaded to her home PC. The administrator behind the plan denies those charges, and only just last weekend decided to stop pleading the Fifth and hand over the PC in question to a computer forensics expert hired by the district.
While the legality of spying on students with webcams remains in dispute, the potential child porn angle of the case has caught the eye of a federal grand jury and the FBI, who are investigating the district. But, in an added wrinkle, federal prosecutors are now claiming that a U.S. District Judge is hampering their investigation into the case. The Feds are complaining about a recent Judge order banning anyone from disseminating evidence involving the case to anyone not directly involved in the lawsuit. Prosecutors, of course, want to get their hands on the photographs taken by the webcams (which are now estimated to total 56,000 -- with only one made public), and are asking the Judge to modify his order (which was asked for by the plaintiffs) accordingly.
Interestingly, in an effort to try and control media coverage of the case, a group of area parents are asking the same U.S. District Judge to issue an order banning anyone involved in the case from giving interviews "near district schools or students' homes":
"...wearied by the international attention caused by the suit, a group of Lower Merion parents asked the judge Friday to ban lawyers and other parties in the case from giving interviews near district schools or students' homes. "We and many other parents of Lower Merion School District are outraged by the substantial distraction that the recent media frenzy has visited upon our district and our community," the parents wrote to U.S. District Judge Jan E. DuBois. "The incessant news cycles about this litigation are plainly taking their toll on the education of our children," the parents' letter said. "It has become a harmful distraction to the very persons that plaintiffs and their counsel seek to represent."Trying to lock down media coverage and evidence doesn't appear to be helping. Meanwhile, the school district is lucky to be wealthy enough to not only give a significant chunk of their 6,000+ students Apple laptops, but also to be able to afford their legal bill -- which is estimated as having already broken the half a million dollar mark. That's barely half of 1 percent of the current $193 million budget of the Lower Merion School District. So, the scandal has resulted not only in a lawsuit and a huge (and growing) legal bill, but also in a national firestorm. It has given several politicians a re-election platform, prompted the creation of potential new national privacy legislation, and resulted in an FBI investigation. How's that stolen laptop and surveillance project working out again?

A massive fire broke out yesterday in Long Branch, New Jersey, claiming 10 businesses and 14 apartments. Luckily, no human life was lost in the fire, though some pets were killed. Among the businesses that were destroyed was Sacred Circle New Age Center, a local meeting point for area Pagans, who were deeply saddened by the news.
"…we'll be there for them when they re-build, once we find out more info, if they need anything we can start a fundraiser or donations…This is so sad today for our Community to lose a business but so grateful they are alive and well."
The owners of Sacred Circle, Adam Kane and Al Romao, released a statement yesterday about the fire.
"To everyone in our community. With a very heavy heart, today Sacred Circle was burnt down from a fire that started several doors down from our store. We are fine and many of the tennants in the building are fine, but some of our four legged friends in the building unfortunately did not make it. Please send prayers to them. We want to thank everyone in our community for the ourpouring of love, prayers, energy and support coming our way during this difficult time….Adam and I very much felt it and thank everyone. By the looks of everything, the building and store are destroyed, we will update everyone on our process and progress as we find things out. To everyone, your continued love, support and prayers and very much appreciated."
The most recent pictures show damage that is near-total, placing in doubt the ability to salvage any stock. This early in the process, it will be difficult to say if the owners will re-build, or open a store in a new location. When shops like this are closed or destroyed, it's more than losing a shopping opportunity. Since the idea of Pagan temples and community centers are still in their early days, many Pagans still rely on Pagan or New Age shops for local networking and finding a communal safe space. An important face-to-face compliment to connections made via social networking. Hopefully the community in Long Branch can rally together during this time of trial, and use this tragedy to knit closer bonds. I think prominent New Jersey Pagan blogger Mrs. B speaks for us all when she says: "Our prayers are with you Sacred Circle."

Back to the beats
On Trinidad, a new generation of artists is reviving calypso – the comeback of folk music there is also earning new fame for old heroes
Keshav Singh sits in his studio on the island of Trinidad and basks in glorious memories of how he rocked, how he danced last year, on the other side of the Atlantic. What a get-together that was at London's Notting Hill Carnival in 2017! English DJs and Caribbean musicians all together, standing on a truck bed, pumping out their beats into the crowd of revelers. Long after connecting on the web, the party experts had finally come together on a stage. Singh raves as though it all happened yesterday: "It was a rave and a soca party all in one."
His studio is located in the east of Port of Spain, the capital of Trinidad and Tobago – two islands, one state, with a good 1.2 million inhabitants just a few sea miles off the Venezuelan coast. Vacationers head for Tobago, the smaller of the two, where the Caribbean still looks straight off a postcard. On Trinidad, a 25-minute flight away, visitors have to look for the beaches. Business is booming here to such a degree that Trinidad and Tobago was recently removed from the list of third-world countries.
Singh's music has always been a small but exquisite Caribbean export item. In the 1980s and '90s, music fans from the West began investigating sounds beyond pop, soul and rock. On the islands between North and South America, they found something different: reggae on Jamaica, mambo on Cuba, and calypso on Trinidad. Life-affirming music, fired by horns and steel pans, once old oil drums but today, lovingly crafted instruments. "Give anyone here a rhythm instrument and they'll hammer out a calypso on it," says Singh. He, too, grew up with music, came to dancehall and hip-hop later, and then turned his attention to soca, the calypso's impetuous younger brother. Singh once dreamed of a career as a professional soccer player and even made it onto the national team, but only got to experience Trinidad and Tobago's games at the World Cup in Germany in 2006 as a spectator.
Today a successful musician and producer, Singh, 35, is regarded as the reviver of the Caribbean sound. On his most successful project to date, Jus Now, he performs as Lazabeam alongside DJ Sam Interface from Bristol. Thanks to streaming services, their hits, including "Tun Up" and "Truck On D Road," have found their way to a worldwide audience. "Sam comes from British bass music, and he can do it all and he knows everything that's going down in the clubs. I supply the beats," Singh explains, "together, we are part of the international rave culture." At the mixer, Singh clicks through the samples from Indigisounds, a company based close to his studio that has recorded and digitized the countless sounds that can be produced from steel pans. "Incredible how much they've got together," says Singh. Playing now is the song "Beat The Drum" by Mansa Musa, a group of percussionists who accompanied many of the island's musicians in the 1970s. Now they want Singh to trim the number so that it can be played in clubs all around the world. The remake will be released on Cree Records, a small label located close to Bremen in northern Germany that scours the planet for almost forgotten treasures, polishes them up and releases them onto the market again. "Beat the Drum" was discovered by Merten Kaatz, who works as a graphic artist but is a music enthusiast to the core and these days also works at Cree. As a DJ, he used to work in Hamburg clubs and collect soul, reggae and ska records.
That's how Kaatz came across a used copy of the funk number "Wajang Woman" by Embryo in a record store. As a single, the title was long out of print as he soon discovered. "I hoped some people would be pleased if the song were available again," says Kaatz. He began tracking down the musicians and located the son of the late band leader, Richard "Nappy" Mayers. The son immediately sent him more of his father's music, and Kaatz used the tracks for the album Music Man. When he found himself with two free months after a change of job, Kaatz traveled out to Trinidad for the first time. The trip became a time of awakenings and discoveries. The operator of a small TV station told him about his late friend Lancelot Lane, a pioneer of rapso – a fusion of soca, calypso and hip-hop – who had never received the recognition he deserved. This was clearly a case for Cree Records: In 2017, the company released Blow Way, a sampler featuring Lane's best numbers.
The cover design came from Peter Doig, a Scottish painter who splits his time between his first home country and Trinidad. His pictures fetch millions across the world, but music fan Doig wanted no money for this cover design. He asked Kaatz why he didn't move to the island, too, since his music was already there, and as a graphic artist he could really work anywhere. Kaatz didn't need to think about it for long: "The friendliness of the people here decided me. "Today, he lives in St. Ann's district on the slopes of the Northern Range, a string of hills sheltering Port of Spain to the north. Looking up from his computer, he has a fine view right across the city and the ocean. This is where he cleans up music files and looks out for new projects for Cree Records. His rule of thumb: "When I see 500 or 600 people looking for a record on the music marketplace Discogs, I know I can expect to sell a new issue of 1000 copies."
Cree Records had a small hit with the reissue of Leston Paul's funk number "Lets Party Tonight," which has now also made it into the clubs in Munich, London and New York, says Kaatz. But the "key album" was the reissue of Dat Kinda Thing, on which pianist Clive Zanda mixed calypso with jazz back in 1975. For a long time, it was impossible to lay hands on the album. "Now people with influence are praising us for bringing it out again," says Kaatz, "and that kind of acknowledgement gives us a big boost for new projects."
These days you can reach kids better with rhythm than with reason (Clive Zanda, Calypso Jazz Musician)
Kaatz picks up Clive Zanda in his car. Zanda is a friendly gentleman of 79 who lives in the west of the city. He's supposed to be giving a lecture at the college of music; his opinions and his music are still in demand. As a teenager, Zanda discovered jazz, but his parents sent him to London to study architecture before he could carry on making music after returning home, sometimes in a trio, sometimes with a big band. When Kaatz contacted him, Zanda was surprised that anyone in faraway Germany was interested in compositions he had left behind long ago. "Old stuff," he says, laughing, "but I've moved on." Zanda is planning a trio again for his new band and looking out for a saxophonist for it. And he wants to bring in a steel pan, too, because "these days, you can reach kids better with rhythm than with reason."
Kaatz's car patiently wends its way from west to east through the heavy traffic the just under 40 000 people of Port of Spain cause. After a good hour, the industrial zones to right and left of the main highway have melted away and the landscape is green. Kaatz stops outside a light-colored wooden house in Sangre Grande, a small town not far from the dream beaches on the east coast. A gaunt man with a rasta mane comes to the garden gate, Emrold Phillip, known on Trinidad as "Valentino," a name given to him back in the day by calypso superstar Lord Kitchener. "I actually chose 'The Mighty Robin'," says Valentino, "but you don't argue with Kitchener." Now 77, Valentino rarely performs, but Kaatz has chosen one of his songs for a sampler, and today they are going to pick out photos for the cover.
I only know six chords, three major and three minor – and that's all I need (Valentino, Calypso Musician)
Valentino takes his visitor into a sparsely furnished living room, where the shutters are closed against the afternoon sun, although sufficient light still finds its way in through the gap between them. There's a cheap acoustic guitar propped against the sofa. The man of the house says, "I only know six chords, three major and three minor." That's all he needs, he explains, that way he can concentrate on his lyrics. A book on the side table with closely printed pages contains the lyrics of his more than 140 songs. Because his songs were political commentaries and spoke of his countrypeople's plight, Valentino also earned himself the nickname "The People's Calypsonian." He is known as a master of extemporization, verbal improvisation. "Calypso works like a daily newspaper," says Valentino; "when the first airplane landed on Trinidad, it was celebrated in a calypso song." What is different today from when he was young? They used to put chairs in the music tents, says the veteran, and the audience would listen to the lyrics. Like Zanda, Valentino bemoans that young people no longer have the patience to listen for any length of time, that all they want to do is dance. "Our own music has fallen into oblivion and it's time for us to come out of there again."
Lou Lyons, 34, is a singer and guitarist who wants to take his music off the islands and out into the world. He grew up with the songs of the great calypso musicians, the likes of Lord Kitchener, Mighty Sparrow and Valentino, but today he hasn't much time for the old sounds: "For me, it's like with cricket – something for old people who aren't interested in anything new." Lyons admires the folk music of many singer-songwriters, but he also likes it when the music goes wild, as it does with soca, reggae and dancehall. His own music varies, is sometimes very loud, then soft. With his partner, Muhammad Muwakil, also a 34-four-year-old guitarist, he runs the Freetown Collective project. When the pair stand on stage with three female backing singers, they coax gentle folk and blues from their instruments, but as a duo, they let rip. They are seeking collaborations with international dancefloor teams. They recorded the lyrics to "Believer" on Trinidad and then sent them to the U.S. trio Major Lazer, who added on the beats underneath.
Freetown Collective are proud of their concerts on St. Lucia and in Scotland; Keshav Singh has long become a global traveler in the cause of music, performing with Jus Now in Europe and the Caribbean and also in India, the home of his forebears. "Our music is constantly developing," says Singh, adding how fascinating it is to discover new ideas all over the world. "Then back in Trinidad, I sit down in the studio and use the ones I like. Then I'm back on the road with my music, world music that sounds like the Caribbean."

Is It Real, Is It Really Real?!?
December 22, 2008
The Realest? I'm not sure, but is it good, innovative & sincere? A resounding YES!
Brittany Bosco is quickly gaining listeners and comparisons to some of your favorite artists. This is not an easy task, of course, and Brittany deserves these comparisons AND carves her on lane as well. The Spectrum EP flirts with many genres and never chooses a suitor. Brittany's choral and orchestral training are apparent as her voice ranges from soft and soothing to rough and bluesy. To describe this album, I would have to mention her current major at Savannah College of art & Design:Fashion. Brittany Bosco's The Spectrum Ep has mad style to spare so make sure you check it out!
I was able to speak with Branden M. Collins (graphic designer) and OferReal? (producer) about their contributions to The Spectrum EP. These two, along with Brittany Bosco, Alex Goose, Kid Syc and Danny! make up TheBigUp! Collective. Check them out now because you'll definitely be hearing more from them in the future.

I am happily using an old PC as a router. Two network cards, Debian wheezy, NAT, ... everything just fine. My home network uses static IPs, which I am also happy with.
However, every box on my home network needs my provider's name servers in its own
/etc/resolv.conf file for the internet to work. I thought this would be the way to go, but I notice that when using a notebook on a commercial router, the
/etc/resolv.conf file gets overwritten once I
dhclient to the router, and just the router's own IP address is listed, no external name servers.
I figure that (1) the only way for this to work is that the router has some way of accepting the clients' name resolving requests and passes them on to the provider's name servers and (2) this is actually a quite handy solution because it would allow me to just put my router's IP into any client's
/etc/resolv.conf and not worry about telling each client my provider's name servers.
Are these assumptions (1, 2) correct?
Is this a feature buried in DHCP requiring my router to be a DHCP server, or would it work with static IPs, too?
What do I need to configure on my router in order to enable forwarding/handling my clients' name server requests?

New releases from Tim O'Brien, The Hush Sound, and Kathy Mattea, along with three other albums that came out recently, including a take on the new Nine Inch Nails.
TIM O'BRIEN "Chameleon" (Proper Records) Grade: A-
It's been three years since we've heard anything new from the celebrated and Grammy-award winning musician Tim O'Brien and with this solo album, we get the man at his most playful, honest and melancholy. "Get Out There and Dance" is a fun little ditty that will surprise his past fans, but it also represents how O'Brien approached "Chameleon." He doesn't hold back and because of that, listeners get sounds of bluegrass, country and folk all from one man and whatever instrument he decides to play (guitar, mandolin or banjo). There's the haunting and longing tone of "The Garden" and the political "World of Trouble" where O'Brien sums up his experience with the past two presidential elections with the lyric "I voted once for Nader/ I voted once for Kerry too/ For conscious and for compromise/ But neither one came through." But the best song is the closer, "Nothing to Say," where O'Brien admits that all the songs have been written and that he's just some guy who plays the guitar. Simple, and yet somehow profound.THE HUSH SOUND "Goodbye Blues" (Decaydance) Grade: C+
With artists such as Ingrid Michaelson and Sara Bareilles making piano rock popular again, Greta Salpeter, who handles most of the vocals and piano for the band, is poised to be the next attractive girl tickling the ivories. And for most of the album she does that, with the haunting "Intro" and "Hurricane," along with the jubilant sounding "Medicine Man." However, there are a couple of missteps, mainly when Bob Morris starts to sing and turns the band into a light-sounding Hot Hot Heat (he has three songs, but it's enough to matter). It wouldn't be so bad had we not gotten used to Salpeter's rough vocal style that has occasional Fiona Apple moments. The album features two different bands, and only one of them is worth listening to.KATHY MATTEA "Coal" (Captain Potato)
Grade: A-
On the Grammy-winner's 17th studio album, the West Virginia native pays tribute to coal miners and the people like her, who saw family members make careers out of hauling coal from the earth. She does this by celebrating the songs of Hazel Dickens, Utah Phillips, and Billy Edd Wheeler, which helps the album plays like a love letter, expressing adoration for the rough heroes that descend into the minds and displaying pride in her home state (along with a small amount of guilt for leaving). Even without experience the way of life, it's easy to appreciate the flowing bluegrass/country sound of Mattea's interpretations of these classic American songs. And with the Sago Mine Disaster still fresh in people's psyche, it's a solemn reminder of a profession that fuels the country's economy, sometimes with the blood of the young. This is most apparent in the album's final song, Dickens' "Black Lung." Mattea sings the vocals a cappella with sorrowful conviction.
"Robotique Majestique"
(Trashy Moped Records)
Grade: B+
There's an epic opening track that sounds like it's introducing some mythical beast from a sci-fi movie. From there the album goes into "Heavy Heart," an energetic, Modest-Mouse-esque track that proves the previous epic intro was completely warranted. Ghostland Observatory, made up of two guys and shares Gnarls Barkley penchant for dressing up on stage. The band is more of an idea that members Aaron Behrens and Thomas Ross Turner strive to constantly push the edges of genres. They have primal screams in "HFM," pop sensibilities in "The Band Marches On," and the dance-ready "Club Soda." This is music that is meant to be experienced and sent pumping through your body. Just listening to it on an iPod or your computer doesn't do it justice.
"Asking for Flowers"
(Zoe Records)
Grade: B+
Edwards delves into a deeper area of her soul and unearths some of the post poignant and honest songs about relationships and creates lasting images in seemingly simple songs. In "Oil Man's War," she has a couple heading north to avoid fighting in a war and describes their dreams of opening up a store, starting a new life. It seems she has entered a new songwriting dimension that is more interested in the self-discovery of one's soul instead of how bad dating can be. "Oh Canada" shows this when Edwards explains that ambivalence is worse than ignorance. But the album isn't entirely dark. "The Cheapest Key" is pop music at its best. But in all, this is the Edwards we were all hoping to see. Rejoice, because she's great and has something to say.
"Ghosts I-IV"
(Self release)
Grade A-
A new dawn in the music industry is coming and its motto is "free." Without any press or big advertising push, Trent Reznor of NIN released "Ghosts" online, giving 25 percent of it for free ("Ghost I"). The rest of the album, 36 tracks in all, can be bought on Amazon.com for a measly $5. What you get is a bevy of instrumental tracks that Reznor hashed out in a 10-week period with complete creative freedom (the only stipulation he gave himself was to be done in 10 weeks). It's a fascinating listen, a flowing soundtrack with no words or meaning, but highlights Reznor's talent of incorporating various instruments for his patented sound. The physical album drops on April 8 (and will come in various packages like Radiohead's "In Rainbows"). Till then, download the album (free or not) and let Reznor mess with your mind.

Exposure to certain harsh chemicals or environments will result in compromising the integrity of your jewelry. This includes, but is not limited to the following: perspiration, perfumes, cleaning agents, chlorine, salt water, and silver polish.
Sterling Silver Jewelry
All sterling silver will tarnish over time, but it will happen much faster when it comes into contact with agents such as perfume, salty air, sulphur, skin creams, hairspray, chlorine and acidic skin ph. The amount of tarnishing (oxidation) that occurs is dependent on the skin and care habits of the wearer. Tarnishing is therefore not a manufacturing fault. To prevent tarnishing/oxidization and to revive luster, all products should be cleaned using a soft polishing cloth.
Gold Plated Jewelry
Gold plated jewelry will not tarnish but over time chemicals, perfume, oil, moisture, wear and soil may cause it to corrode. We recommend cleaning with a soft cloth or washing in warm soapy water; rinse and dry thoroughly. Please avoid contact with any chemicals as it may remove the gold plated layer. When storing, please protect your gold plated jewelry from scratches, chemicals, extreme temperatures and sunlight.
Wax Cord Jewelry
The wax cord on this product naturally becomes worn through time due to general wear, and external elements such as water, creams and sweat. Over a period of time we advise that the cord is replaced. Please contact our customer service department with any enquiries
Leather Jewelry
Leather is a natural material, general wear and cleaning may cause shrinkage and color variations. Roano Collection cannot be held responsible for any damage due to negligence. To preserve the quality of Roano leather products, please do not wash with any household cleaning fluids. If wet, please allow leather to dry naturally. Do not place near a source of heating or open fire.

This is part of a sponsored collaboration with State Farm and Latina Mom Bloggers. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
I treat my vehicle is like a member of my family. Why? Because I have depend on it everyday and like my home office on wheels. Aside from using my minivan daily, it has to keep us safe and be as efficient and functional as possible. But just like my teen can't keep her room clean (don't get my started), my minivan seems to get shafted in the cleaning department. My mobile office sometimes look like a wreck! But when we travel, our trunk has to be thoroughly cleaned out.
So if your like me, this is the perfect time of year to clean out the trunk and get rid of your junk. My kids & I recently cleaned out only to find hidden treasures from forever ago! Things like ear buds, empty chip bags, crushed water bottles and my personal favorite: papers I needed to sign for school. Isn't that sweet of them?!?! I know I'm not the only one finding old french fries on the floorboards. I recently saw a fun article called: 13 randomly weird things list on Goodneighbors.com. It was an instant sense of relief knowing I'm not the lone ranger in the junk in the truck movement.
Now that it's winter I take my recently cleaned out trunk and add safety supplies to the back of my ride. We already have emergency supplies in our stow and go, but I my kids to have access to several items in an emergency situation.
We rarely get below 20F degrees in Southeast Louisiana but I still prepare my vehicle for winter weather and also store our survival supplies in the trunk. Being a Girl Scout & Girl Scout Leader for all those years taught me a thing or two about being prepared so I create a survival pack and place it in our minivan in case of emergency.

The city of Austin, TX, has no doubt changed since 1968, the last time the National Intramural-Recreation Sports Association (NIRSA) held its annual conference and recreational sports exhibition in the Lone Star State capital. The explosion of the Austin music scene since then has turned this year's location for the NIRSA conference into a must-see-and-hear destination for young people.
More than 2,000 attendees and 130 exhibitors are expected at the NIRSA conference and expo, which takes place April 2-5 at the Austin Convention Center. In addition to educational sessions, guest speakers, and the latest equipment and sporting goods displayed on the show floor, the conference features a distinct Texas flavor of food and music.
Adventurous attendees can take advantage of one of three pre-conference trips on Wednesday, April 2: kayaking the San Marcos River, rock climbing the Austin Greenbelt or taking a tour of Austin's barbecue restaurants. Also that day, the annual NIRSA Foundation golf tournament will be held from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Jimmy Clay Golf Club and Roy Kizer Golf Course.
The Taste of Texas welcome social, featuring Texas-style food and live music by Seth Walker, begins at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, at the Hilton Austin. The Live Music Capital of the World After Party will follow at 8 p.m. at Buffalo Billiards on Austin's historic Sixth Street, where the country rock band The Mother Truckers will perform.
NIRSA City Limits takes place at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 3, in the newly renovated Austin Music Hall. Gary P. Nunn as well as the new wave 1980s band The Spazmatics will perform there. Also that night, beginning at 7:30 p.m., attendees will have access to the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum and exclusive use of its IMAX Theater, which will show the movies "Dolphins and Whales" and "Grand Canyon Adventures-3D."
As much fun as these events promise to be, the conference won't be all about music and socializing. Keynote speaker Joe Martin will deliver his address at the opening general session from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesday, April 2, at the Austin Convention Center. Martin is the president and founder of RealWorld University, the largest college student success Web site in the country. He has been recognized nationally as America's No. 1 motivator of educators and was voted America's Campus Speaker of the Year by the Association for Programming Campus Activities. Martin started his first successful business at the age of 22, became the youngest professor to teach at an accredited university in the state of Florida at 24, and owned and operated a successful special events/public relations agency at 26.
Other speakers at the NIRSA conference include: Karl Brooks, the director of the DePaul University Student Leadership Institute; Cannie Campbell, the director of the University Health Center at James Madison University; Susan Fee, a licensed professional counselor based in Cleveland; David L. Herbert, an Ohio attorney with a long history of involvement with the sports, recreation, sports medicine, fitness and health care industries; William G. Herbert, a professor in the department of human nutrition, foods and exercise at Virginia Tech and a fellow in the American College of Sports Medicine; Patti Holmes, president of Holmes Training and Development and the author of "What Do Followers Expect of Leaders?"; Richard P. Keeling, who leads Keeling & Associates, a strategic consulting practice in higher education; and Larry Roper, the vice provost for student affairs, professor of ethnic studies and interim dean of liberal arts at Oregon State University.
New to the NIRSA conference this year are a series of four, two-hour workshops on the topics of technology, research, outdoor recreation, and small colleges and community colleges. The workshops are offered at no additional charge to show attendees.
Additional events and opportunities for attendees include walking the trade show floor at the Austin Convention Center, early morning workouts in the expo hall, the T-shirt exchange and the NIRSA Foundation Career Opportunities Center at the Hilton Austin.
Also taking place at the Hilton Austin is the People of Color social on April 3 and the honor awards banquet on April 5. (See the schedule of events for times and locations.)
By then, attendees' taste buds and "earbuds" should be plenty satisfied.

Photography now at 1,000,000,000,000 frames per second!
Move over high speed camera here comes fem-to camera. Imagine being able to capture frames so fast that you can see light moving a millimeter of a distance and no this is not fantasy but something that actually has been done. Now think about the various scientific capabilities of such a technological wonder; from studying light waves as move and interact with various objects and mediums to seeing around the corner, checking if a fruit is ripe by shining light on it and possibly many more.

DURHAM � Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski has used the word �if� instead of �when� recently regarding senior forward Ryan Kelly�s status for later in the season.
Kelly hasn�t played since early January because of a foot injury. Krzyzewski consistently said that the Blue Devils expected Kelly back later this season and when he returned the team would be better off because of it.
Consider Kelly�s status perhaps downgraded because the coach has sounded less definitive on the topic in some comments the past couple of weeks, only referring to the possibility that if Kelly returns he�ll have to rejoin a revamped rotation.
�At some time we have to be able to try things out,� Krzyzewski said during the past week. �I think we need to do that before the NCAA Tournament for his good and for our team�s good. �
�Ryan has done an amazing job in trying to get back and hopefully we can try to see if something will work here in the not-too-distant future. But no timetable.�
So it appears unlikely that Kelly will be in uniform for this afternoon�s game against visiting Boston College.
Second-place Duke has flickering Atlantic Coast Conference regular-season title hopes despite another stellar season in the works.
Duke has won at least 10 ACC games in six consecutive seasons. The Blue Devils are coming off Thursday night�s 88-56 road thrashing of Virginia Tech, marking their largest margin of victory in a conference game since an 82-50 result against North Carolina on March 6, 2010.
Boston College has won two of its last three games. A one-point loss to Duke and a three-point setback at Florida State are the only things preventing the Eagles from carrying a four-game winning streak.
So that makes coach Steve Donohue more encouraged that perplexed.
�I don�t want to just accept losses, but I also don�t want to lose sight of where we are at in our development,� Donohue said. �I�m disappointed in losses, but I�m not discouraged of where we are headed and I�m not going to lose sight of that.�
The Eagles have lost their last five road games.
�I think we are playing well on the road and we played solid at home,� Donahue said. �I don�t have a whole lot of issues with those type of things that would drive a coach crazy not being emotional, physically ready to play. I think we have done that.�
Who: Boston College (12-14, 4-9) at No. 6 Duke (23-3, 10-3)
When: 2 p.m. Sunday (CBS)
Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham
Series: Duke leads 15-2, including a 62-61 victory Feb. 10 at Boston

My Murray connection
The Murrays have been a bit of a mystery to me until February 2012, when I was contacted by a 4th cousin once removed in Peterhead. The combination of his local knowledge and my access to various databases has been a great help in disentangling the dozens of George, James, William and Alexander names that have flourished in every branch of the clan.
Here are the Murrays in my pedigree:
- George Murray Turner, born George Murray in Coldstream in 1861 – great granda
- Barbara Murray, born in Alford, Aberdeenshire in 1841 – 2x great granny
- George Murray, born 1815 in Syre, Aberdeenshire – 3x great grandfather
- George Murray, born 1785 in Aberdeenshire – 4x great grandfather
- George Murray, born 1756 in Aberdeenshire – 5x great grandfather
The Murray list is growing rapidly and spreading geographically, so there will be lots more to write about them when I find time to digest all the newly found records.

Wayne and Bonnie Mortine have known each other since they were in the seventh grade.
They have been school classmates, co-workers, and married for nearly 70 years.
Bonnie recalls growing up in Coshocton County in a family of 10 children. She was the ninth child born to Calvin and Elmina Hart of Warsaw.
She laughingly said, "I was a tom-boy."
Bonnie eventually outgrew her tom-boy image and took an interest in boys. She recalls meeting Wayne for the first time when they were both about 14 years old. Wayne recalled having just moved to Warsaw and living down the street from the Hart family. He said he was at their home almost every day, as he was friends with Bonnie's brothers. Bonnie said she and Wayne started dating when they were in their freshman year of high school, about 1944-1945. She said they dated all through high school. They were both in the same class at Warsaw High School, and graduated with the class of 1948.
Wayne, son of Russell and Glenda Mortine started working at the IGA grocery store in Warsaw when he was 14. He liked the job so much he stayed until he retired at the age of 62. Actually, Wayne later became the step-son of the store's owner, Walter Thompson, when his parents separated. Wayne was a well-known face at the Thompson's IGA Foodliner in Newcomerstown for many years, working along side his step-father, and step-brother, Bill Thompson. Wayne later attended the National School of Meat Cutting at Toledo in 1949. He recalls his training was very beneficial as in those early days of the IGA they offered meat cutting services and rental of freezer space for their customers to store bulk meat. He adds that many people raised cattle, hogs and freezer's were not as plentiful as they are now days.
Bonnie recalls her first job was at the Farmers and Merchants Bank, formerly located on Main Street in Warsaw. She said she was 16 years old at the time and would work a couple hours in the morning each day through the week, then go to class afterwards. She says she later took clerical training and a short-lived position at the Coshocton City Hospital (now known as Coshocton County Memorial Hospital). She then went to work for the Coshocton National Bank, where she stayed until she and Wayne were married.
They were married at the Warsaw Methodist Church on March 19, 1950, but even after their marriage, they were never very far away from each other. Bonnie later took the position as bookkeeper at the IGA in 1955 when they moved to Newcomerstown. She remained in her position at Thompson's IGA until she retired in 1992.
Wayne and Bonnie are the parents of two sons, Mark and Neil, and grandparents of 10 grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. Mark is an adjunct professor at Miami University at Hamilton, and Neil is the CEO of Falhgren-Mortine Advertising and Public Relations in Columbus.
While the Mortines were both very busy with their jobs and raising a family, they were both also active in community activities. Bonnie was a member of the former Mother's Club for many years. Wayne was an active member of the Lions Club, and the Ohio Historical Society. He also had a major interest in local archeology for many years. They are also members of the Christ United Methodist Church at Newcomerstown.
As for any "secrets" for their success at being classmates, co-workers, and spouses for nearly 70 years, they both say that it comes down to "just being agreeable with each other."
Wayne adds, "Whether you or your spouse is wrong, just agree."

Taylor Swift's Speak Now tour will be the subject of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville. Taylor Swift: Speak Now — Treasures From the World Tour will open June 6 and run through Nov. 4.
Dozens of costumes, instruments, set pieces and props from Swift's 2011-12 tour will be displayed. The exhibition will recreate 10 vignettes from the tour, including the following:
The Roberto Cavalli ombre gold bugle-beaded dress and red Gibson Les Paul model electric guitar featured during her performance of "The Story of Us."
Swift's vintage ecru lace dress and Deering-brand six-string banjo, along with other costumes used by band members and dancers.
The pale blue silk Marchesa gown with rhinestone bodice, in addition to a white piano bench with tufted leather upholstery, featured in "Back to December."
Swift's red, sequined Jenny Packham slip dress and knee-high leather boots, worn during "Better Than Revenge."
Her vintage purple silk halter dress, dancers' costumes and props used during "Speak Now."
A Taylor-brand koa wood ukulele with mother-of-pearl inlay she played during her acoustic performance of "Fearless."
Swift's sleeveless, flesh-colored Reem Acra gown with sequin overlay, dancers' costumes and prop trees featured in "Enchanted."
Her reworked vintage dress, featuring leather corsetry, and the mallet she used to ring the bells during her performance of "Haunted."
Swift's black Jenny Packham flapper-style slip dress with rhinestone embellishments, black knee-high leather boots and a Taylor-brand guitar encrusted with Swarovski crystals featured during "Long Live."
Her golden Valentino ball gown featuring layers of tulle and a sequin overlay, dancers and aerialists' costumes and the "Juliet balcony" in which Swift soared above the crowd during each performance of "Love Story."
Earlier this month, Swift pledged $4 million to fund a new education center at the museum. Her gift, the largest capital contribution by an individual artist in the museum's 45-year history, prompted the museum to name the new space the Taylor Swift Education Center. The center will open in early 2014. The gift was made in conjunction with the museum's expansion capital campaign, Working on a Building: Country Music Lives Here.
A free-standing multimedia exhibit featuring Swift has been one of the museum's most popular attractions since its debut in May 2010.
