Q: VB.Net ignores isDBNull condition I'm programming a dog adoption form. It retrieves data from a Access DB then the user can adopt up to three dogs, each one of them specified in 3 different fields. I'm doing it this way because I previously tried to do it with arrays, with no luck.
The issue comes here (highlighted in bold):
Try
        Dim conexion As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\PerrosDB.mdb;")
        conexion.Open()

        Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
        cmd.Connection = conexion
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text
        cmd.CommandText = "select adopcion1, adopcion2, adopcion3 from usuarios where codigo_usuario = " & FormPrincipal.codigo_usuario & ""
        Dim dr As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
        dr = cmd.ExecuteReader

        While dr.Read()

            **If dr.IsDBNull(1) Then
                posicionAdopcion = 1
            ElseIf dr.IsDBNull(2) Then
                posicionAdopcion = 2
            ElseIf dr.IsDBNull(3) Then
                posicionAdopcion = 3
            Else
                MsgBox("Lo sentimos, solo puedes hacer un máximo de 3 adopciones")
                Exit Sub**
            End If

        End While

        dr.Close()

        conexion.Close()
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message & "Saliendo de la aplicación.")
        Me.Close()
    End Try

and
 Try

        Dim conexion As New OleDb.OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=|DataDirectory|\PerrosDB.mdb;")
        conexion.Open()

        Dim cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
        cmd.Connection = conexion
        cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text

        **If (posicionAdopcion = 1) Then
            cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE USUARIOS SET ADOPCION1 = '" & nombrePerro & "' WHERE codigo_usuario = " & FormPrincipal.codigo_usuario & ""
        ElseIf (posicionAdopcion = 2) Then
            cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE USUARIOS SET ADOPCION2 = '" & nombrePerro & "' WHERE codigo_usuario = " & FormPrincipal.codigo_usuario & ""
        ElseIf (posicionAdopcion = 3) Then
            cmd.CommandText = "UPDATE USUARIOS SET ADOPCION3 = '" & nombrePerro & "' WHERE codigo_usuario = " & FormPrincipal.codigo_usuario & ""
        End If**

        cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
        conexion.Close()

    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message & "Saliendo de la aplicación...")
        Me.Close()

    End Try

What I'm trying to do is to check if the adoption fields (adopcion1, adopcion2, adopcion3) are empty, if they are, place the name of the dog there. If they are not, check for the next free slot. If none available, print the corresponding error message. But what the program does is to overwrite the adopcion1 (first field) no matter what.
I have checked this thread, I may be having a similar issue misunderstanding isDBNull usage, but so far I'm trying to do what it's stated there with no result.
What I'm doing wrong?

A: I got it, as I expected it was a silly mistake: I was retrieving the first data field from 1, and not from 0. Thus skipping it entirely:
If dr.isDBNull(0) Then
  posicionAdopcion = 1

But yes, the code seems clunky, didn't know about SQL parameters, going to check them ASAP.
Thanks for the help!

Jakarta: Indian Women's Compound Archery team settled for silver medal at the 18th Asian Games held here on Tuesday.
India lost to World champions South Korea 228-231. India needed three 10s in the final shots but failed and settled for the second prize.
The Indian team comprising Muskan Kirar, Madhumita Kumari and Jyothi Surekha Vennam defeated Taiwan's Liju Chen, Yihsuan Chen and Mingching Lin 225-222.
After Round three, Jyothi and Madhumita had brought India right back into the battle against South Korea in this battle for the Gold medal. The scores tied at 173-173.


Hybrid propulsion is no longer a promise of the future. Its benefits are already experienced, as evidenced by the technologies, prices and style of the Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid, among many others.
The use of Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid is as easy as possible because the driver does not have to worry about connecting the car to an outlet to charge the battery. The electric motor also acts as a generator and is complemented by the brake force regeneration system.
It develops 43.5 hp and instantly delivers the maximum torque of 170 Nm, which is a strong start.
In fact, Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid can run 100 percent electric at speeds of up to 120 km/h. At the same time, the hybrid propulsion includes the Kappa 1.6 GDi direct injection petrol engine. This produces 105 horsepower and 147 Nm of torque. It has been specially adapted to be integrated in the hybrid drive and is coupled to a 6-speed automatic transmissions and double clutch for the benefit of both the efficiency of the system and car dynamics.
The two engines work together or alternately in a smooth and noise-free way. The driver can choose Eco mode for maximum efficiency, or Sport.
This adjusts steering response and transmission and changes digital graphics board instruments for a driving experience that emphasizes dynamism. The total system power stands at 141 hp and 265 Nm of torque.
Driving pleasure is complemented with systems such as automatic braking that prevents collisions or reduce their effects, lane assistant, blind spot monitoring and autopilot. All this justifies the maximum of 5 stars achieved in the Euro NCAP collision tests.

❊ Practice Footballs ❊
Are filled with white powder to practice the kick before the actual reveal to ensure your reveal is amazing.
❊ Directions for Use❊
The shell is sturdy but easily opened when struck along the seam. It is ideal to hold the football sideways when punting the ball and kicking the ball along the connecting crease in the middle of the ball to ensure the biggest reveal. We like to shake the ball before the kick to ensure that the powder is not compacted in the ball from sitting for long periods of time. Each football is hand made and will have its own genuine features.
❊ Assembly Directions for Pink & Blue Combo and 6" Footballs ❊
Unwrap football, place white strip to the side (these are your laces), open the football, cut open powder bag, pour bag into the bottom half of the football. Wipe around the rim with a wet paper towel and carefully snap top piece on. Then, place on your laces!

While people are speaking about their latest rendezvous titled, Let the Girls Be, their video strategy isn't all that it appears. We try to tell you why!
Elle India's recent video, Let the Girls Be has been going viral, and as the click-baiters say – for all the right reasons! The video is a testimony from every girl who has ever tried to hide her natural anatomy, as a muscle instinct. Can't have your cleavage showing and bra straps? What are those? Pfft!
In association with WEvolve, the video was published on Elle's YouTube channel on January 29 and since then has garnered 59, 917 views; the video on Elle India's official Facebook page earned 2.1 million views. The video was further shared on WEvolve Global's official page and got nearly 3k views there. The video attracted mentions from various publications, and celebrities that have been association with Elle India.
Let the Girls Be is being lauded, bringing to light Elle's raw and blunt video strategy, which we don't like by the way!
Elle India's official YouTube channel has 1,299 subscribers. Amidst a consistent dose of makeup DIYs, behind the scenes of great fashion events, and tutorials of workout regimes – Elle has a tongue in cheek approach, which works as a monotony breaker for the brand.
Haww! Gasp! Sigh! And all the sounds in between. Elle India actively promotes Breast Cancer Awareness and decided to use the B word to do so. I mean, they could've shown the pink ribbons and made a heart touching celebrity video in black and white hues. But, no! They had to get quirky, and use slang, and get the youth to listen.
I mean such losers! Who cares if Chetan Bhagat has sold millions of copies of his books, has ardent following amidst a niche, stands for what he believes in, and has basically achieved what a lot of us only dream of. Chetan Bhagat has to be trolled and Elle India simply broke the tradition.
Now that's just not good manners for a brand. When they can be tutoring about shades or red, they took Diana Penty to speak about the ridicules of social media in Gen Y. They got witty, and experimented with the video set up, giving it a retro feel. Too much audacity, I say.
Decided to have fun with Bollywood's new faces!
Now, who cares about talent; it is the brand value of celebrities that counts. And playing such childlike games with them, that the youth like. The brand knows to speak their language and fit right in. Maybe it's called content marketing, but it isn't for Elle.
Wouldn't it be easy to speak about his relationship with Deepika Padukone or comment on his quirky wardrobe? But Elle had to break the clutter and speak about something like life lessons to Ranveer Singh. They captured the person behind the reel and I feel it's just too desperate.
All the video hooks are too different from what floods the internet and are under or slight over 60 seconds, making them easy to consume and shareable. Elle connects with the youth on their terms and it is so unlike brand. I can only imagine the havoc these videos would unleash if they were marketed better.
Global Father's Day campaigns you must see today!


Today's Tune is "Nikes" from Frank Oceans highly anticipated new album called Blond. It was just released two days ago.
I loved his previous album "Channel Orange" from 2012, so I've definitely been waiting for new material from him. So far I like it!
I haven't heard everything but this tune "Nikes" has caught my attention. Try and listen to it.

Named for an American officer who came to train the Hagana, Jerusalem's Rehov Marcus boasts magnificent buildings and multi-national history.
David "Mickey" Marcus, a Jewish colonel in the American army, was summoned to Palestine before the declaration of the state to help shape the Hagana into a modern fighting force. Known here by the pseudonym of "Stone," Marcus had never been an active Zionist. Nevertheless, he was delighted when asked to use his military expertise for the good of the Jewish people. Marcus threw himself into the struggle. His experience and initiative made him such an invaluable asset to the war effort that he was named a brigadier-general and commander of the Jerusalem front on May 28, 1948. Less than two weeks after his appointment, and after an exhausting day of battle, Marcus took a night walk just outside of his camp near Abu Ghosh. Still unversed in Hebrew, he didn't reply with the password when challenged by a cautious sentry. Two more calls went unanswered before the guard nervously fired his gun. Marcus died from a bullet wound in the chest, shot by a Jewish guard. Stone, and his contribution to Israel's victories in the War of Independence, were immortalized in the touching film Cast a Giant Shadow. One of the two main byways in Talbiyeh, a prestigious neighborhood in southern Jerusalem, is named after Mickey Marcus. Houses along the 300-meter street, like others in Talbiyeh, were built by wealthy Christian Arabs during the British Mandate on land purchased from the Greek Orthodox Church. Often quite magnificent, these dwellings were designed with dignified lines and superb gardens. Although most have been renovated with less tasteful modern additions, much of the splendid early architecture has been preserved. On your next visit to Jerusalem (or if you happen to live in the Holy City), take a (wheelchair accessible) walk along Rehov Marcus that begins at Orde Wingate Square (known to locals by its original name of Salameh Square). To make this a circular jaunt, you can descend Rehov Marcus and stroll along the right-hand sidewalk. To return to the square, cross the street and walk back up! Before you head for the large, three-story edifice at the top of the street (Rehov Marcus 2) take a good look at the side that faces the square. A fascinating combination of straight and rounded lines, and originally only two stories high, the unusual dwelling has a stone chimney - one of the first in the city. Note the Bauhaus (International) style of architecture that was fashionable at the time this house was built. Typical of Bauhaus are the balconies, one atop the other, and the tall, narrow glass window the length of the stairwell. When the superb building next door (Rehov Marcus 4) was constructed in 1924, it was only two stories high and belonged to the Spanish Benedictine Montserrat Monastery. The staff here engaged in biblical research and was responsible for translating the Bible into the Catalan language. Look for an "M" for Montserrat woven into the ironwork of the first-floor balcony. The lion guarding the door is new: It was probably purchased from the municipality, which scattered lively colored lions around the city some years ago and sold them off later on. Rarely do you see a biblical inscription written in Arabic on a house in Jerusalem, but if you look hard at the rundown Beit Eben-Ezer at Rehov Marcus 10, you will find a passage from Samuel, in Arabic, beneath the words "Eben-Ezer" and above the date (1925). Eben-Ezer translates literally as "helping stone": "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen. He named it Even-Ha'azer, saying, 'Thus far has the Lord helped us.'" (Samuel 1 7:12). Feast your eyes on the fabulous structure at Rehov Marcus 16. Two stories were recently added atop the roof of the original dwelling, but the bottom floors have been preserved. This gorgeous edifice was built by one of two brothers, the second of whom lived next door at Rehov Marcus 18. That imposing villa is known as Harun El Rashid. Notice the fancy garden and ceramic tiles, then walk through the side entrance. The building's name is written above the door in both English and Arabic. Former prime minister Golda Meir lived here in the 1960s when she was the country's foreign minister. Legend has it that before United Nations secretary-general Dag Hammarskjold came to visit, she had her security men cover the sign - supposedly to hide the fact that in the past the house had belonged to an Arab. During the Mandate, the British purchased the house for their Air Force Command. Because Villa Harun El Rashid towered over the rest of the buildings in the neighborhood, both the Hagana and the Iraqi troops occupying the Arab Katamon district nearby wanted to use it as a lookout post. On the eve of the British evacuation of Jerusalem on March 14, 1948, their officials agreed that the Hagana could have the keys if they could get in without Iraqi knowledge. Thus, as the British vacated the house from the front door, the Jews came in through the back. The modern structure on the corner is the Jerusalem Theater, completed in 1971. At the moment it features a fabulous display of costumes worn during decades of theater productions. Across the road and on the corner of Rehov Dubnov, a huge edifice stands neglected. Inaugurated in 1887, it was designed by renowned German-Christian architect Conrad Schick, who also planned Bikur Holim Hospital and the neighborhood of Mea She'arim, to house and care for Jerusalem's lepers. The hospital was funded by a German Protestant baroness, and was called Jesus Hilfe (with the help of Jesus). In 1948, the Israeli government took over the building and renamed it the Hansen Government Hospital for Lepers. Walls surround the once-magnificent structure, which is built of big, beautiful stones. Modern for the times, every room in the hospital was heated by a cast iron, wood or coal burning stove imported from Germany. A German evangelist planted trees and flowers here at the beginning of the 20th century in what was a magnificent garden filled with biblical foliage. No one lives there now, but a tiny clinic treats a few new patients each year. Now begin your walk back up Rehov Marcus. As you stroll, gaze across the road for a different perspective on the houses you viewed earlier on. On the corner of Rehov Pinsker stands the decorative modernistic villa built by the wealthy Sherover family, which helped fund the Jerusalem Theater. Further up the street, the house at Rehov Marcus 11 belonged to Reuven Mass, who transferred his publishing house from Germany to this building in Talbiyeh in 1936. Mass's son Danny was killed in a rescue mission that subsequently became known by the number of volunteers who were killed in 1948 trying to break the siege on the Etzion Bloc: Halamed Heh (the 35). Look for the words Reuven Mass carved into the stone fence. The stories added to Rehov Marcus 7 a few decades ago are nothing less than a travesty. But the original bottom two stories are absolutely stunning, shining with pinkish stones quarried in Bethlehem and boasting a majestic staircase. Ornamental side railings and the lower balcony feature wheel-shaped decorations, while the gate has an unusual leafy motif. Look at it from all sides. At the top of the street, the recently restored house at Rehov Marcus 1 is a delight to behold. Today it serves as headquarters for the wonderfully social-minded Karev Foundation, established by Canadian philanthropist Charles Bronfman. Bronfman, who has advanced all kinds of Jewish causes, was cofounder of the enormously successful Birthright program. Now, if you are hungry after all that walking, head downhill again and finish your walk with a snack at the Jerusalem Theater's coffee shop. Aviva Bar-Am is the author of Jerusalem EasyWalks.

Review: Terraria
9/30/2013 02:44:00 AM Aaron M. No comments
The building. The mining. The crafting. Terraria has finally ambled its way out of the sanguine depths of PC gaming to the dirty back alley known as the Android Marketplace. Yes, the 2D Minecraft-like has all the thrills of putting blocks on other blocks that you have come to expect in a game like this.
Even if you are only tangentially aware of this sort of game, you're probably familiar with the mechanics already. You dig stuff up out of the ground and combine that stuff with other stuff to create brand new stuff! The sky's the limit! Or whatever the developers decide is the limit. Under 600 items? Get out of here with your inferior game, you peasant!
And there's combat. Oh there is combat if you can call it that. You can swing your sword, axe or pick at your choice of zombies, slimes, other zombies and even more slimes. Eventually, you dig down deep enough into the center of the earth where you get to do battle with goldfish, bunnies and the Eye of Cthulhu. But just his eye. Presumably because Cthulhu himself was off sipping tea with his skeleton army.
Terraria features a wide variety of weapons aside from the sword, axe & pick. Weapons like guns, swords, chainsaws, other swords, and even more chainsaws are yours for the taking if you're willing to take the time to go mining for it. You can even build a lightsaber. Yes, that is a thing in the game. Because every game needs to have a lightsaber. Because when your game relies so heavily on The Thing That Made Minecraft Famous, you need to differentiate yourself from the pack. And what better way to do that than by co-opting another popular franchise?
Aside from weapons, there are plenty of other things to craft as well. You can craft hats, for example. Just imagine being able to wear a hat in a video game! And of course there are the requisite armors, rulers, bookcases & other useless items that come along with this sort of thing.
So it's more of the same. But don't let that dissuade you. Some people just happen to like more of the same. More of the same got Nintendo to where they are. And there's nothing necessarily wrong with any of that.
As would be expected, the graphics are neither better nor worse than any version out there. Visually, it's bright and colorful in all the right places. More importantly, the world still feels big. Big, big, big. Enormous. Gargantuan. Big, huge and empty. The major difference between playing on a phone versus your computer is how small everything is once the game begins. Of course, this all could be fixed with the inclusion of a zoom function.
While I can't speak for how it plays on the iPhone, the controls are simply terrible, almost rendering the game unplayable. Even as something as simple as making a jump is rendered much more difficult than it needs be.
The issue stems from the implementation of the control scheme. The directional pad & action buttons are not in fixed sections of the screen. Any time the screen is touched, the directional pad & action buttons will appear there. However, this presents a few problems. Particularly during harried sections of the game where the player is forced to flee, this can be particularly aggravating. Your fat thumbs, sweaty from hours of mining Birkenstock sandals out of the ground slip off, causing the aforementioned bunnies to gang up on you and nibble your toes to death. You try to jump away from them, but it's too late: you've lept backwards into the Nostril of Satan and have lost all of your adamantite.
The Terraria Experience Now Available On Android
Aside from the horrible vanishing D-Pad, controlling exactly where you want to place blocks is also an exercise in frustration. Oh you didn't want to lay down 15 blocks all on the same spot? Well too bad. At least your house will have plenty of protection from the unrelenting swarms of pink and blue slimes.
Without a mouse, you are left to guess as to where your character is going to place a block down. Attacking & mining fare better, both requiring less precision than house building but still face the same problem of shifty controls when armed with anything other than the chainsaw swinging between your legs.
This is the very reason Terraria simply doesn't adapt very well to the Android environment. Being a PC game, it relies on PC game controls. Touch screen controls are finicky at the best of times. While the developer has admirably attempted to bridge the gap between the PC and the mobile world, the execution is flawed, ultimately.
Still, I don't doubt that for its intended audience, Android Terraria will still be an enjoyable experience. Many of the issues facing the game could be addressed in patches. But most unwilling to adapt to the game will likely find the game in its current state to be a frustrating experience.

Panchen Lama gives longevity empowerment and visits Guge Kingdom ruins
Time:2019-08-05 15:03:08 Source:ChinaTibetOnline
Photo shows the 11th Panchen Lama worships at Toling Monastery in Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region.
Recently, the 11th Panchen Erdeni Choskyi Gyalpo arrived in Ngari Prefecture in the Tibet Autonomous Region to hold Buddhist activities.
The 11th Panchen Lama gives longevity empowerment to Buddhist followers.
From July 24 to 25, the 11th Panchen Lama visited Toling Monastery in Zanda County, Ngari Prefecture to worship the Buddha and gave longevity empowerment to local Buddhist followers. During his stay, the 11th Panchen Lama also visited the site of the Guge Kingdom ruins and visited local farmers.

72-year-old Buddhist follower Phupa Dargya had been queuing for the longevity empowerment since dawn.
"Because Ngari Prefecture is so far away and road conditions are not very good, we common people have never had this kind of opportunity to see a great Living Buddha before, let alone have a longevity empowerment," Phurba Dargya said. "The 11th Panchen Lama is so profound and knowledgeable, I'm happy and satisfied that he can give us bless. I feel lucky."
Toling Monastery is located on the banks of the Langchen Khabap River in Zanda County. It was built in 996 AD and was one of the first Buddhist temples built by the Guge Kingdom in Ngari Prefecture. It is now over a thousand years old.
On July 25, the 11th Panchen Lama visited the site of the Guge Kingdom ruins.
The 11th Panchen Lama visits the site of the Guge Kingdom ruins.
The site of the Guge Kingdom ruins has a total area of about 720,000 square meters and was part of the first group of key cultural relic preservation sites in China. The current site rises more than 300 meters from the base of the mountain to the top. The site has a large number of exquisite carved statues, murals, and cultural relics.
"The Guge Kingdom ruins is a precious cultural heritage left by our ancestors. We must strive to preserve this inheritance and manage the site well for both the preservation of cultural relics and for tourism purposes. In recent years, the Central Government has invested large sums of money to carry out large-scale restoration and preservation efforts at the Guge Kingdom ruins. This fully reflects the Central Government's high regard and care for Tibetan ethnic cultural heritage," said the 11th Panchen Lama during his visit.
After visiting the site, the 11th Panchen Lama also went to Zarang Village at the foot of the ruins to visit farmer Jingdrol Dekyi's family. The 11th Panchen Lama talked closely with the family about their medical, education, housing, and income conditions.
Jingdrol Dekyi's family was relocated here from their hometown over 100 kilometers away. The family guesthouse that they operate is valued by the local government, and the Zanda County Government regularly holds trainings for family guesthouses owners here. From the guesthouse alone, Jingdrol Dekyi's family earn an annual income of 170,000 yuan (24,500.27 US dollars).

Glucosamine is found naturally in the body in almost all human tissues including cartilage. It is widely used for joint health and is proving to be a popular supplement for this. It has been researched and safely used for many years and is often recommended by health practitioners.
Healtharena Glucosamine Sulphate Complex is a high strength glucosamine and also contains selenium, zinc and ester C.
Zinc and ester C are both antioxidants that are not stored in the body and it is therefore important to maintain an adequate daily supply. Zinc also has a key role in forming new proteins.
As a food supplement. Take one capsule daily after food, or as recommended by a health professional. Do not exceed the recommended intake. Glucosamine Sulphate is found naturally in connective tissue, tendons, cartilage and muscles.
Glucosamine is produced from chitin which is derived from crustacean and may not be suitable for those with severe shellfish allergies.

HomeBack to the Nineties400 Greatest Singles of the Nineties: #250-#226
400 Greatest Singles of the Nineties: #250-#226
July 23, 2010 Kevin John Coyne Back to the Nineties 22
A lot of songs from both ends of the charts here, including a husband-and-wife duet that spent six weeks at #1.
I Meant Every Word He Said
1990 | Peak: #2
At least the third song on this list about a guy mulling over romantic gestures he wishes he'd made to his former love, and the most traditional among those songs. You could easily imagine this one being a minor classic by a 60's or 70's legend, so close is its replication of that style. – Dan Milliken
I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying
Toby Keith with Sting
My hard-and-fast rule for Toby Keith: The sadder he is, the happier the listening experience tends to be. He's all kinds of sad in this snapshot of post-divorce melancholia, reflecting on everything from unfair custody protocol to the greater motions of the universe. Even a gratuitous Sting cameo can't detract from the single's gloomy grandeur. – DM
You Ain't Much Fun
Toby Keith is also funny, though. What's a man to do? Sobering up ain't all that it's cracked up to be from is perspective. Ever since he's done so, his wife has been taking advantage of his increased functionality by giving him honey-do lists that he wasn't ably tackling pre-sobriety. It's enough to drive a man to drink. – Leeann Ward
Lee Roy Parnell
Actions speak louder than words. – KC
1995 | Peak: #14
Every once and awhile an artist delivers a song so powerful that it seems to shatter all divides in its genre. A tribute to both the late Keith Whitley and Gill's late brother, "Go Rest High On That Mountain" pairs deeply spiritual lyrics with a tender, emotion-soaked performance. The combination is magic. – TS
Living up to its title, the Yoakam's barren heart and soul are replicated in the arrangement of the song. If emptiness has a sound, this is it. – Kevin Coyne
(Who Says) You Can't Have it All
Jackson more than earns his neo-traditional street cred thanks to this song. Just soak up that lonesome steel guitar! – LW
It's Your Love
Tim McGraw with Faith Hill
A good power ballad shot to greatness by its artists' striking chemistry – palpable, fiery and so very genuine. More than just a hit single, "It's Your Love" represents the moment in country music history at which we were introduced to one of its definitive couples. – TS
Grandpa Told Me So
Amidst a collection of country life lessons passed down from two generations back is one to live by: "There'll be times that you want to hold on but you've got to let go." – KC
Thank God For You
This man has a lot to thank God for, including stereotypical parental figures, but he's most thankful for his girl. – LW
I Never Knew Love
An earnest, soulful confession of love. It's hard to ignore the fact that it leans more in the adult-contemporary direction than that of anything else, but when a song is this moving, it's also hard to care. – TS
What She's Doing Now
In an unusual tact for Mr. Brooks, he forgoes melodrama in order to allow the natural drama of pining for a lost love to speak for itself. The dialed down performance works in the service of the song, as the sadness appropriately penetrates through. – LW
Find My Way Back to My Heart
Some of the best songs from AKUS play on the home life that's sacrificed by following the musical dream. Krauss remembers how she used to laugh at songs about the lonely traveling life, but she's not laughing now. – KC
It takes more than self-awareness to mend a broken heart. – KC
Leave Him Out of This
Steve Wariner
A man makes a soaring yet understated plea for his lover to let go of her past love. The song is made sadder by the touch of resignation in Wariner's performance, which suggests the man knows he's making his plea in vain. – TS
Just My Luck
Roba Stanley once sang about the joys of the single life and its simplicities. Richey is about to leave it behind, and wonders just how lucky that makes her. – KC
What if I Do
A whole song about deciding whether or not to go all the way with one's movie date. McCready gives a fantastically entertaining performance, speak-singing her lines with a a bold campiness that most other gals wouldn't dare. – DM
Chasin' That Neon Rainbow
Stories of would-be stars trying to make it big in Nashville are nothing too novel, but Jackson's plucky earnestness gives this one an accessibility many of the others lack. – DM
Now That's All Right With Me
Mandy Barnett
The other great Barnett single of the era, fusing Patsy Cline-style vocal class, Pam Tillis-style production and Gloriana-style youthful exuberance. – DM
Lila McCann
Ten years before "You Belong With Me" made its splash, McCann set her sights on the same demographic with a song just as relatable, vibrant and passionate. That the song lacks Taylor Swift's sharp perspective is perhaps what makes it such a great record: there's something so pure about McCann's fully unapologetic, headfirst fall into love. – TS
My Maria
The rare country cover of a pop song that improves on the original. No offense, B.W. Stephenson. – DM
Boom! It Was Over
Robert Ellis Orrall
How far can an amazing song title carry you? All the way to #229, that's how far! – DM
Somewhere in My Broken Heart
Billy Dean
So simple and plain in its heartbreak, and so understated and quiet in its delivery. – KC
I Just Wanted You to Know
Chesnutt makes a phone call to an old love that could be construed as creepy, pathetic or terribly sad – take your pick. I'm going with a mixture of all three, with a pinch of selfishness thrown in. Either way, "I Just Wanted You to Know" is a memorable slice of the-one-that-got-away reality.- TS
I'm Gonna Be Somebody
In the twenty years that passed since the release of this song, the path to success in the music industry has morphed into something that looks very different than it used to. Unlike that of Bobby in the song, these days an artist's journey can come in all shapes and forms, sometimes abrupt and sometimes completely unprecedented.
Think what you want about this paradigm shift, but here's what I believe: regardless of how you shoot to the top, the only way you'll achieve longevity and, most importantly, respect in country music is if you share the fire in Bobby's eyes. This soul-stirring hunger and unshakable passion is the heart of "I'm Gonna Be Somebody" and the reason it remains a timeless classic. Here's to hoping – and I'm optimistic – our modern artists are made of the same stuff. – TS
Single Review: Darius Rucker, "Come Back Song"
Twenty Minutes With Country Radio
Another good bunch…
Love the Yoakam, Jackson ("(Who Says) You Can't Have it All"), AKUS, Barnett, Stone, Brooks and Chesnutt contributions.
Absolutely NO recollection of the Robert Ellis Orrall number so I'll have to go look that one up.
I may be in the minority here, but I've never particularly cared for Gill's "Go Rest High".
And I love the Toby Keith/Sting duet! He's one of those artists who frustrates me. Kind of like Trace Adkins who I can love on a song like "I'm Tryin'" or "Then They Do", but hate more than anyone else on some of their other material. "You Ain't Much Fun" isn't quite as bad as "American Ride", "She's a Hottie", "High Maintenance Woman", etc., but it's still not one I'd ever desire to hear again.
ccdixon
More great choices – the Travis Tritt selection is a particular favorite.
I'm surprised, but not unpleasantly so, to see Lila McCann here. It's too bad her singles for Broken Bow never seemed to take off. She's apparently working on new music now.
Erik North
Nice to see Kim Richey represented here, and twice yet. I personally think she is underrated as a recording artist, and her music falls in that little crease between country and rock; but she is far better a singer than the public gives her credit for. And as a songwriter, she is way up there at or near the top (IMHO).
In the case of "What If I Do"–it is really quite a tragedy to listen to Mindy on that song, realize how good she was becoming at that time, and how utterly far she has personally fallen since then. And to demonstrate how much potential was lost, "What If I Do" is on the same 1997 album (IF I DON'T STAY THE NIGHT) where she bravely covers Linda Ronstadt's 1970 country-rock classic "Long Long Time."
Yes! One of Lila McCann's songs made the list! That one happens to be one of my favorites. It's a shame she didn't enjoy a longer career.
Another great bunch of songs! Can't wait to see more.
Steve from Boston
I really like Vince's Go Rest High, and Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs harmony vocals really help that song to soar even more.
I always liked B W Stephenson's My Maria, dont know if I agree the B and D version improves on it, but they certainly do the song justice.
…i just hope it wasn't that skirt of mandy barnett that ultimately prevented her career from taking off the way it should have been. great singer, weird dresser.
travis in virginia
I too am surprized to see Lila McCann on the list. I met her in 07 and she is sooooo nice. Her "Lila"album came out when I was 12 and everyone my age loved and owned it. She was, in my opinion, the Taylor Swift of my generation except she can sing. I hope to see "Down Came A Blackbird" on the list later. We used to sing that song on the bus ride home from school. Good times!!!!!!!
another interesting group of songs. I never heard the Mandy Barnett song. thanks. I like it. I didn't know that B&D's "My Maria" was a pop cover. I haven't listened to pop radio in over 30 years.
My favorites here are the songs by Lee Roy Parnell, Billy Dean and Garth Brooks. In fact, checking the I-Tunes count on my MacBook, I've played "What She's Doing Now" more than any other song by Garth.

Just seen Travis perform in my hometown last night and I gotta say he's still got the fire, "I'm Gonna Be Somebody" was a real highlight of the set. Got to meet him as well, smaller guy than I thought.
Soul Miners Daughter
One of my fave Garth songs. I also like that cd because it was right before Garth became "Garth" and his music lost so much, IMHO.
Really cool to see the Kim Richey shout-outs. One of my fave songwriters and when you see her live you think, "she wrote THAT?".
I always really liked Vince's "Go Rest High…" and whenever I've seen him perform it, especially at memorials, it never ceases to get to me. It's just one of those songs that seems to have been written for a divine purpose.
Kenny Chesney: Don't know the song but the cd cover in that little hat is worth the price of admission.
My first concert was Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and one of the best moments was when they sang "It's Your Love." That song is such a classic. I love their heartfelt performances, and I love the prominent steel guitar as well.
I was a little surprised to see Lila McCann's "With You" on this list. I like it, but I didn't think it sounded like the kind of song that would get a spot on this list. It's kind of like ear candy, but it's tasty ear candy!

Robert Ellis Orral was a talented songwriter whose career as a performer never took off. I am not sure what his greatest success as a writer was but the #1 Shenandoah hit "Next To You, Next To Me" immediately comes to mind.
I'm glad to see that there's someone else who doesn't particularly care for Vince Gill's "Go Rest High". Bar bands in my area insist on resurrecting the song continuously
One of the things I'm noticing with this list thus far is that I like most of these songs but love very few of them. That wouldn't be true for a rundown of the 50s,60s or 70s
I'm guessing that might change as we get to the higher ranked songs. I was actually surprised how many songs I liked when we were still in the 300s. Probably 80% of them.
There's no doubt that "Go Rest High" has a great impact and it's one of Vince's career songs, but it's not among my personal favorite Gill songs either. It's never done anything for me for some reason.
I love the harmonies on "Go Rest High." They really make the chorus soar the way that a song of this nature needs to.
But I've always found the opening verse awkward. "You were no stranger to the rain" is a clumsy way to point out it's a tribute to Whitley, IMO, and it compromises the universality of the sentiment a bit for me.
Kenny Chesney in the 90's may have had a "run-of-the-mill" 90's sound, but man was he enjoyable to listen to. Not just a few singles worth of listenable, good material like Fall in Love or Me and You, but entire albums worth of good country. I wish for an album, hell a single, Kenny would rediscover his 90's sound and allow us to hear Kenny Chesney, the talent, good, country artist.
Love the Tim and Travis selections. I used to love Toby Keith- he's gone so far off the deep-end it's sad. He's probably got the best male voice in country music.
I agree, K. Toby Keith did some pretty good songs in the old days, but now he's gone from "Should've Been a Cowboy" to "fat dog, skinny dog, little itty bitty dog…" It really is sad.

Really pleased to see the Robert Ellis Orral song, that was always one of my favorites. Surprised that the Travis Tritt song didn't make the T100, going to be very interested in seeing the rest of the list.

It's a shame that Sting got relegated to a "gratuitous" cameo on Keith's version, as Sting's original version blows it out of the water, and is far more country to boot. I can't listen to Keith's version because of it.
I haven't heard the Sting version. I'll have to check it out. I'd never guess that his version might be better, since I actually don't think he adds positively to Keith's recording.
That much I agree with, and is part of the reason I can't listen to it.


A good example question that we get is: "I've got seats from a Vauxhall Astra VXR or Lotus Evora and I want to fit them in my VW Golf MK4. How does this work and are there any frames on the market that cater for this kind of seat transplant?" Well, technically no but we may have the answers & solutions to some of the questions you have.
Seats produced by Recaro for a vehicle manufacturer are usually made with bases and fitting brackets which are specially designed for the intended vehicle. They did not expect them to be removed, as such, there is not a universal bolt pattern suitable for other vehicles.
Recaro aftermarket seats, however, are produced to be universal and fit a wide range of vehicles using Recaro aftermarket seat brackets. These seats are produced with a different purpose than the factory fitted options and in most cases have a different bolt pattern.
If the Recaro seats you have match these bolt points, then you're in luck! You should be able to use one of the Recaro aftermarket fitting kits that we have available to transfer your current seats into a new vehicle. If the bolt points are different, then you may need to modify either your existing fitting brackets or a new set of brackets in order to fit the seats.
We have a wide range of fitting frames made by Recaro over on our specialist motorsport seating website, as a result, we can provide frames to suit most vehicles on the market. Browse our extensive collection today!
Recaro seat brackets are made in a range of designs, for example, some are partial fitting kits and some are full replacement seat frames. This is usually indicated by the price of the Recaro frames. If the frames are below £175.00 the frame kit will be a partial kit which works with elements from the original vehicle (usually the sliding runners). If the price is over £200.00 then the product will be a full replacement kit, including all new metal brackets which connect to the floor.
Making a note of this information is highly important to ensure that you have the correct parts for a successful installation. We hope that this fitting guide helps to clarify what seats will and won't fit your vehicle. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to contact us to speak to our dedicated sales team with over thirteen years of experience in the industry.

A handy little device that is perfect for holding song lists, charts, notes, etc. Mounts easily to any microphone stand. Steel and aluminum construction; black baked enamel finish.
nice to have this music stand.
I use it for everything, Personal Mixer, My tablet and video\sound recording devices.
I thought it would be bigger. It works for my phone though, so I guess that's alright.
I use this on stage for my words to have as a crutch in case I forget (I sing a lot of songs ) the words . It is real discrete, turn in a little angle and glance over when you need to and the audience really can't see it and tell you are looking at it . I would be lost without it. Can't afford a Telepropter , this is small and works great!!
smaller than I realized but, great for holding notes, mobile phone, etc. Does not obstruct views for pictures of the happy couple or your close up.
Too small to be of use.
Great useful and easy to use item for performing musicians.
Product is ok. Bolts and securing attachments always a problem.
The price is average for the quality.
Only one I could find the size!
I have two. This one seems a bit better then the first. Both work well. I use it on mic stand to hold Kindle.
