The Last Cowboy (2003)
Drama, TV Movie, Western
Jennie Garth, Lance Henriksen, M.C. Gainey, Bradley Cooper, Dylan Wagner, Muse Watson
Ranch Drama 90210
Many years after leaving her father's Dry Creek ranch, Jacqueline 'Jake' Cooper (Jennie Garth - A Time to Dance) returns for the funeral of her grandfather only to learn that in his will he left her his share of the ranch. But the relationship between Jake and her father, Will (Lance Henriksen - Spirit Riders), has been tense ever since she abandoned the ranch following her mother's death, a death she hold her father responsible for. And to make matters worse the ranch is struggling with the bank ready to call time on the loan and a property developer circling to buy it. It means Jake and her father are going to have to patch up their differences if they are going to keep the ranch in the family.
If you see "The Last Cowboy" crop up in the TV listings and think it sounds a bit familiar you won't be alone. When I spotted it and read the write up of an estranged daughter returning home to the family ranch and having a battle with her estranged father I felt that I had seen it before but with different actors. As it turns out I hadn't but it shares similarities with various other movies which I would call Hallmark ranch movies, those where we have problems on the ranch, problems between two family members and then some drama which sees them come together, getting past their difficulties as well as misunderstandings and save the ranch from going under. As such I won't lie and say that "The Last Cowboy" is an amazing movie as it isn't but for those who enjoy these gentle, sweet ranch dramas which serve up a feel good ending it delivers what you expect.
One of the things which helps "The Last Cowboy" is that at its heart it has a trio of nice performances. For those who remember the original "Beverly Hills 90210" and maybe watched then new "90210" it is nice to watch Jennie Garth, especially as she looks so comfortable as Jake. Garth gets across that unique blend of being someone who knows how to work on a ranch but has experienced the world and real business, making her both strong and with ideas. She works well with Lance Henriksen who not only has that right sense of being old fashioned as her father Will but also gets across the bitterness he feels from when Jake left and blamed him from her mother's death. And then in-between these two you have a nice bit of light hearted humour from M.C. Gainey as foreman Amos. These three actors work well together, never really delivering anything more than you expect but never looking out of place.
What this all boils down to is that like other Hallmark ranch movies "The Last Cowboy" is a pleasant enough watch even if it isn't that different to so many other movies. It basically delivers that bitter sweet drama and beautiful backdrops that you expect before delivering a feel good ending.

Kwazulu Natalian, Steve Coppinger, ranked 14 in the world has been selected to lead South Africa at the bi-annual Men's World Squash Championships, which have been moved at the eleventh hour from Kuwait to Cairo, Egypt. Slotting in at second place is 47th ranked Shaun le Roux of Western Province, who was runner up in the 2015 National Championships. Western Province's Clinton Leeuw, the third member of the National team which finished 6th in the 2013 team championships retains his place while completing the quartet is Central Gautenger Thoboki Mohohlo, earning his first national cap.
Of this team, Leeuw is the most experienced at the World Team Championships having represented South Africa in 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and now 2015. Coppinger joined the team as number 1 from 2007 and Le Roux fought his way in in 2011.
New kid on the block, Mohohlo, a highly talented player, represented SA Schools in 2007 and then in 2008 earned his first junior national cap when he was selected for the World Junior Men's individual and team championships in Switzerland. In 2011 he represented Squash South Africa at the All Africa Championships earning a bronze medal in the individual and a silver in the team event. Mohohlo reached the semi-finals of the 2015 National Championships, outplaying the experienced former champion Rodney Durbach in the quarterfinals.
The World Squash Federation had no choice but to move the championships to Cairo Egypt as the Kuwait Olympic Committee was suspended by the International Olympic Committee 'to protect them from undue government interference'. The suspension was as a result of a sports legislation issue not being resolved by a set deadline and the Kuwait Squash Federation had no choice but to cancel their hosting of the event.
The Egyptian Squash Federation stepped into the breach and will be hosting the event during the same dates.

Gaelectric shareholders to get more than expected from asset sales
Green energy developer has been placed into liquidation, allowing asset proceeds to be distributed
Mon, Oct 15, 2018, 05:17 Updated: Mon, Oct 15, 2018, 07:19

Shareholders in green energy developer Gaelectric are to receive more money than initially expected from the winding down of the company.
A decision to put Gaelectric in voluntary liquidation was agreed by backers last Thursday, allowing the distribution of asset sales to 60 shareholders, including Slaney Meats owner Bert Allen.
The value of the proceeds to be returned to investors from asset sales has been revised as of last week from €5 million to €16 million. This is due to a number of factors, including better-than expected sales prices for divested assets, the writing off of loans owed by Gaelectric to co-founder and former chief executive Eamonn McGrath and another former CEO Barry Gavin. The two former company bosses also agreed to hand over a significant portion of their equity in the business so as to help lower losses for investors.
Gaelectric was put up for sale in October last year after a potential deal by China General Nuclear European Energy to purchase a 50 per cent stake in the company failed to materialise.
The fast-growing company had invested significant sums in developing wind farms in previous years, with much of the financing for these coming from borrowed money.
The company, which was founded in 2004, was once seen as a possible €400 million stock market flotation candidate. However, Mr McGrath found himself in court earlier this year after US private equity group Lone Star, which had an 8 per cent stake in the company, initiated High Court proceedings against him amid claims that the entire share capital of Gaelectric was between nil and €5million.
Accountancy firm KPMG has over the last year run a sale of the company's assets, which included two operating wind farms with the capacity to produce 18 mega watts (MW) of electricity, enough to power about 10,000 homes.
There was a further group of windfarms at various stages of planning that would generate 60MW of electricity once completed, as well as solar power plants at various points of development that could produce 80 MW of electricity. In addition, the company had an asset management business and an electricity trading arm.
Among the beneficiaries of the sell-off was Element Power, which secured a major offshore wind site in the north Irish Sea from Gaelectric in April.
The majority of Gaelectric's board resigned last October following the decision to wind up the company.
Michael O'Sullivan and Shane Doherty, who were both asked to join the board to help manage the structured solvent wind down, resigned late last week following the vote to put Gaelectric into voluntary liquidation.
Following that vote liquidator Brian O Neill has been appointed to manage what is now seen as largely being an administrative process.

A certain insulation will achieve different R-Value depending upon the thickness and density of the product. The higher the R-Value the greater resistence to heat.
The roof, exterior walls and exposed floors are insulated to create a cocoon around the structure. The higher the R-Value installed in these three critical areas creates a thermal barrier to keep heat in during the winter and heat out during the summer.
Insulation conserves energy when heating or cooling a structure. Insulation helps the utilities lower their use of producing energy which creates a greener earth to live in.


So many TV shows are cancelled after only one season. Has the Timeless TV show been cancelled or renewed for a second season on NBC? The television vulture is watching for the latest cancellation and renewal news and this page has been created as a dedicated place to track the status of Timeless season two. You can bookmark it, or subscribe for the latest updates. Remember, the television vulture is watching your shows. Are you?
Airing on the NBC television network, Timeless begins as a mysterious criminal (Goran Visnjic) steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America by changing the past. The country's only hope is an unexpected team of a history professor (Abigail Spencer), a soldier (Matt Lanter), and a scientist (Malcolm Barrett) as they embark on the adventure of a lifetime to stop the villain. The rest of the cast includes Paterson Joseph, Sakina Jaffrey and Claudia Doumit.
Season one of Timeless averaged a 1.10 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 4.62 million viewers. Find out how Timeless stacks up against the other NBC TV shows.
On May 13, 2017, NBC reversed their decision to cancel Timeless and renewed it for a second season which will debut March 11, 2018. Stay tuned for updates.
For whatever reason, the networks seem to be fixated on time travel this season. Fortunately for Timeless, it was the first to air. It also didn't hurt that the peacock network scheduled it to follow their most popular series, The Voice. Timeless had a positive start. Unfortunately, the ratings have been falling quite rapidly. Though it's been hyped as a hit, Timeless is no Blacklist. It's also not a cheap series to produce (lots of new costumes and sets each week). Unless the numbers miraculously get better (where's a time machine when you need it?), I think time is short for Timeless. The television vulture has reason to watch this one closely.
5/13 update: NBC reversed their decision to cancel Timeless and renewed the series for a second season. Details here.
1/22/18 update: NBC has revealed the season two premiere date for Timeless. Details here.

Watched the 1st two episodes then lost all interest. Silly on so many levels. Hard to believe people actually feel they are learning history with this show. Where did they spend their high school years?
I am concerned that they brought it back during "March Madness" I missed the first two episodes for this reason. Thankfully I have "on demand".
I am totally in love with the show because it is exciting, dynamic, fascinating and it is not laced with vulgar profanity.
I do not spend a lot of time watching tv but this show is wonderful! It is like a history lesson with each episode! Love it!
I absolutely love this show! Great actors with very interesting story lines. It is a show I can watch with my 13 and 16 year old sons. Lots of action and adventures. We are hooked. Do not cancel this show!!!
I loved the show and didn't miss an episode. Please bring it back for a second season!!
Waiting patiently to see season 2.
This is probably why series do t make it, you give us 8 or 10 episodes then it goes on hiatus for too long. By the time you bring back the show, we are already watching something else in it's time slot. You'll never learn.
When is timeless coming back on? Can't wait to see season 2.
This show is awesome ! Learning about history , a good plot ! Give it a real chance and put ut on prime hour !

Disparities in mortality and marriage create unequal kin safety nets in the USA
Sohn Heeju | October 28, 2019
Heeju Sohn quantifies the diverging kin networks of adults with low and high socioeconomic status (SES) in the United States. In 2013, high SES adults had about 13 years with parents who were alive and living with each other, while low SES adults had only about 6.5 years. Rising single-parenthood and lagging life expectancy among low SES families are resulting in greater inequalities in kin networks.
When people experience hardship or uncertainty, they often turn to kin for support. Parents are frequent sources of support such as emergency childcare, a down payment on a house, or a place to stay during bouts of unemployment. Parents' sense of obligation towards their children usually extends beyond the very early phases of their lives, and parents often view their resources as a safety net for their children. Therefore, the longer and healthier the parents live, the longer adult children can benefit from them. It is also the case that adult children whose parents are still married to each other receive more help than children whose parents never married or divorced (Silverstein & Bengtson, 1997).
Inequality in safety nets in the US
Demographic trends in the United States in the past half-century have created unequal parental safety nets between people with different socioeconomic resources. While people are living longer overall, improvements in life expectancy among people with low SES (socio-economic status) are lagging (Sasson, 2016). And while divorce rates have been decreasing among high SES people, non-marital childbearing, single parenthood, and divorce have maintained their historical highs among people with low SES (McLanahan, 2004). These trends portend a fraying of the family safety net for people with few socioeconomic resources.
Do people with low socioeconomic status have potentially weaker parental safety-nets now than before? And what demographic factors contribute to this rising inequality? These questions are often difficult to study, because parents and adult children typically live in different households. In a recent publication (Sohn, 2019) I addressed the data challenge by applying the Brass Orphanhood method on the Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID). The PSID is a multi-generational dataset that is nationally representative of the United States. In 1988 and in 2013, respondents were asked whether their parents were still alive, and if so, whether they were married to each other. These responses can be used to create and decompose multi-state life tables of parents' survival and marital status by their children's age, SES, and cohort. The analysis focuses on the parental safety-net between age 25 and 49 when the adult child may rely on their parents for support as they start new careers, buy first homes, and start families.
Low SES adults have weaker parental safety nets than 25 years ago
High SES adults in both 1988 and 2013 spent about 13 years with both parents alive and together (Figure 1). A small increase in single-parenthood among their parents between 1988 and 2013 was almost entirely offset by a rise in their life expectancies (Sohn, 2019). The story is starkly different for low SES adults, however. In 1988, these spent about 11.5 years with two parents who were married to each other, but in 2013 this condition lasted for only 6.3 years.¹ And as many as 62 percent of low SES adults in 2013 spent the entirety of their young adulthood (age 25 to 49) without parents who were married to each other (Figure 2); by age 25, only 38 percent had two married parents.
Single-parenthood is the driver of the growing disparity in parental safety nets
In 1988, the death of the father was the primary reason why parents were not living together for both low and high SES adult children: about 10 percent of adults would have experienced the death of a father in the first 10 years of early adulthood. Fathers were living longer in 2013, but this improvement in life expectancy is completely overshadowed by the large rise in the proportion of parents who were never married or divorced. While parents' union dissolution increased for both high and low SES adults, the rise was significantly greater among parents of low SES adults.
Figure 3 shows the formal decomposition of the increasing disparity in the number of years low and high SES adults have with parents who are married to each other. In 1988, differences in parents' life expectancies accounted for 97 percent of that disparity, while parents' non-marital childbearing and divorce accounted for only 3 percent. In 2013, 63 percent of the large socioeconomic disparity was due to the differences in parents' non-marital childbearing and divorce.
Implications for the next generation
Sarah Mclanahan foreshadowed the "diverging destinies" of high- and low-SES families 15 years ago (McLanahan, 2004). Fifteen years later, I show that the effect of growing up in single-parent families extends into adulthood and is setting up weak kin networks for the next generation of children. In the case of the United States, people who are already disadvantaged in many socioeconomic dimensions are also disadvantaged when it comes to kin-based support. People are living longer, and relationships between grandparent and grandchild are becoming more consequential, and yet, the benefits are likely muted for low SES families.
Low SES adults, who are more likely to be single parents themselves, spend more years with divorced or widowed parents who may not be able to provide emotional and material support. Having a single parent as an adult also increases the risk of becoming a member of the "sandwich generation", providing care to both young children and aging parents. Children of these low SES adults likely receive less of their parents' and grandparents' resources than children of high SES adults who start life with the support of both their parents and grandparents.

Q: Multi-Conditional Selectors in jQuery I'm trying to select elements with multiple conditions, for example I'm doing the following at the moment:
$('#myspan').find('input:visible').each(myfunc);

Although I know you can do things like $('#myspan input:visible') but it didn't work for me.  I need to check for inputs within the span #myspan which are visible and are checked.  Any ideas?

A: Try:
$("#myspan :checked:visible").each(function() {
    // do stuff
});

A: $('input:visible', '#myspan').find(':checked').each(function() {
    alert(this.id);
});

Should do the trick. I like seperating things because I like to think it helps jQuery parse better.

Students and families involved in the R.O.C.K. program at Zionsville United Methodist Church have a new way to keep up with the group's latest happenings with the launch of ROCK, Paper, Scissors, a newspaper created by two students.
The R.O.C.K. program – Really Outrageous Christian Kids – has never had anything like this before, but when Pleasant View Elementary students Elliott Peter and Ethan Simmons asked if they could create a newspaper, they were met with enthusiasm.
"It's given the whole R.O.C.K. program a lot of excitement," R.O.C.K. director Kathy Gibson said.
They created the semi-monthly paper to let people know what was happening in the program. They initially wanted to call it the ROCK Current because they were familiar with the weekly Zionsville newspaper, but recently changed it to ROCK, Paper, Scissors as a play on words.
The stories range from an interview with the weekly ROCK Star to comics to a reminder to keep a family or person in their prayers.
As editors, Elliott and Ethan have established a deadline, schedule and certain days of the week during which they work along with a sign-up sheet for articles. After a financial donation from a parent, they are now creating a business plan and are figuring out how to best use the money. The paper has expanded from its first three-page issue in February to tripling in size for the fourth issue.
As with many first endeavors, it took some adjustments to make the concept work.
"We had the idea a while ago but it didn't work," Ethan said.
After attempting a first issue, others offered to contribute. "And so we had a lot of things to put in, mostly pictures and comics," said Elliot.
The paper is not limited to students from a specific school.
A core group of students between kindergarten and fifth grade work on the paper continuously.


After initial recognition, investment property is valued at fair value under the fair value option of IAS 40. Therefore no adjustment had to be made as per 31 December 2014.
Development property is investment property under construction and valued at fair value under the fair value option of IAS 40. Therefore no adjustment had to be made as per 31 December 2014.
Assets in this category are measured under IFRS at the lower of cost or net realisable value in the financial statements.

Q: Remove stopwords using spaCy from list dataframe I want to remove stopwords using spaCy after tokenize. But, given me an error and the error is AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'is_stop' The data I want to do is the data after the tokenizing process which is in column named 'tokenizing'
How to fix it?
import pandas as pd
from spacy.lang.id import Indonesian

nlp = Indonesian()

data = [
    'Aku suka sekali beradai di wilayah yang dingin',
    'Kembali jika terjadi sesuatu di sana',
    'Sampai berapa lama kamu akan pergi dari sini',
]
df = pd.DataFrame({'text': data})
df['text'] = df['text'].str.lower()
df.head()

#Tokenizing
def tokenize(word):
  return [token.text for token in nlp(word)]

df['tokenizing'] = df['text'].apply(tokenize)
df.head()

#Remove stopwords
def stopwords_remover(words):
  return [stopwords for stopwords in words if not stopwords.is_stop]

df['stopwords'] = df['tokenizing'].apply(stopwords_remover)
df

A: You are processing a list of strings, and a string is not a SpaCy token, thus, it has no is_stop attribute.
You need to keep a list of SpaCy tokens in the tokenizing column, change def tokenize(word) to:
def tokenize(word):
    return [token for token in nlp(word)]

Output:

If you need to keep tokenizing column filled with token texts and make stopwords from scratch, use
def stopwords_remover(words):
    return [stopwords for stopwords in nlp(words) if not stopwords.is_stop]

df['stopwords'] = df['text'].apply(stopwords_remover)


There are no shortcuts to growing luscious hair. On average, hair grows about a half an inch per month. Your general health, well-being, and genetic factors affect your rate of hair growth.
You can encourage hair growth by maintaining healthy hair through a good diet (You should aim to eat plenty of proteins, and be sure to take in the right hair growth vitamins vitamin B and vitamin C in particular) and proper hair care. Certain herbs can help make your hair grow faster, too. In addition to eating a proper diet, you can take supplements like folic acid, biotin, kelp, fish oil, flaxseed oil, evening primrose oil, ginseng, ginkgo biloba, saw palmetto, and others to augment hair growth.
Use oils like castor oil, coconut oil, argan oil etc. Oils are rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids that makes hair grow naturally.
Massaging your hair promotes blood flow to the scalp, which in turn stimulates the hair follicles making it grow.
Find a good hair care product. There are numerous hair growth products on the market, some work better than others. They should be sulfate and silicon free hair care products if you have a natural hair.
Flipping the hair upside down for 2-5 minutes daily can boost hair growth because it improves circulation of blood to the head.
Staying stress-free. It is believed that stress can disrupt the normal hair cycle and trigger hairs to enter the telogen or fall-out phase. So i advice you go stress free to prevent hair loss.
Avoid or limit the use of hot tools and air for your hair. They cause stress to your scalp, making hair growth difficult.


A great volunteer, George, once told me and a group of young volunteers why he loved to ask people to give. He said when he asks for a gift the organization wins because it can serve more people. The people we are serving win because we can provide better services. Most importantly the people I ask for a gift win because they have an opportunity to participate in their community.
People want to participate in and improve their communities and community development corporations are in an ideal position to provide citizens such opportunities. While fundraising may seem like a foreign skill to learn, you actually already know everything you need to know to solicit contributions. It is all about communications, human relations, and good manners.
Think of a circle; once you get on you keep going around. You want to have a circle of communications with your contributors, so your contributors stay with you from first gift, to thank you, to you keeping your promises, and to their giving again.
What problem are you addressing?
Why are you the organization to address these problems and needs?
What successes can you point to that gives them confidence in your capabilities?
How will gifts make this happen?
Will gifts pave the way for other funding?
What are all the ways they can be involved? Give them a clear description of volunteer, sponsorship, and giving opportunities, including giving levels.
Then keep this circle of connection, involvement, and giving intact. Acknowledge every gift promptly. Regularly communicate with contributors and prospective contributors to inform them of your accomplishments, new opportunities to participate, and how others are involved as volunteers and contributors.
When I was working with volunteers to solicit gifts for the music program at a church, we established one rule about who to solicit. If the family had an interest in the music program, one of us met with them. This proved successful when a young couple with very young children came forward and gave the lead gift for the campaign in response to one of our volunteers meeting with them. We would not have asked them for that amount, but graciously accepted their gift. Follow the interest!
It all begins with building relationships with people. You want to make connections and build relationships for the life of your organization. People like to participate with organizations - as volunteers and contributors - where they feel involved and where they relate well with others involved. More and more people give to where they volunteer and where they spend their time. The first steps to the gift and the solicitation are getting people involved in your events and your meetings.
Volunteers are vitally important to cultivating and soliciting prospective contributors. Organizations can expand their reach by encouraging their volunteers to connect with people in their network of friends, neighbors, family, and business. The best cultivation and solicitation calls are made by volunteers; followed by an employee with a volunteer; followed by an employee going solo.
When you meet with prospective contributors, here are a few thoughts to get your discussion started and to lead the conversation as to how they will participate with their gift.
What is your connection to our work?
How do you typically decide which organizations to contribute to?
What do you expect from the organizations you give to?
Do you have suggestions on how we could improve the information we provide you?
Would you encourage others to give to us?
What is the greatest joy you have had from a gift you made? Why?
Do what it takes to make the other person comfortable. Good manners answer all the detail questions we have. From how many times do I need to meet someone before I ask for a gift? Do I write, call, or meet in person? Remember, simple courtesies go a long way. When in doubt ask if this is a good time to speak with the potential contributor about a gift and about getting more involved with your organization.
And always, always acknowledge every gift. It is the beginning of a long-term relationship and the next gift.

Tardza – The Recycled Porsche
Ben Branch March 4, 2021
Reading time: about 1 minute | Written by Ben Branch | March 4th 2021
Tardza is a unique short film about an unusual Porsche 911, nicknamed Tardza by its owner Pawel Kalinowski.
The car has a fascinating history, it belonged to a homeless man in Seattle who lived in it with his dog for many years, before crashing it one day and leaving it at a body shop to get the fender repaired.
He didn't have the money for the repairs, and he had other debts, so the car was forfeited and ended up being bought by Kalinowski and shipped to Poland.
If you're a member of the global vintage Porsche community you probably already know who Pawel is. For the uninitiated he's the founder of Car Bone – one of the world's leading suppliers of parts for custom vintage 911s, not to mention 356s, 914s, and many other models.
The story behind Tardza starts out tragic, the former owner was struggling with both drug addiction and homelessness, but in his previous life had been successful enough to have bought a 911.
After the car was bought by Kalinowski it became a community project of sorts, he made friends around the world who helped supply parts for the car and over time it's been completely restored – all except for that front fender a memento from its former life.
As with most Car Bone projects the 911 wasn't intended to be returned to factory condition, but rather to be rebuilt as an entirely unique car that pays homage to its own heritage.

Chicago Farmer Shares New Song From 'Quarter Past Tonight,' Due Out Aug. 3

'Quarter Past Tonight' Live Album Art by Keith Berson Photography
Chicago Farmer Releases a Live Double Disc Album on Aug. 3
Quarter Past Tonight
Recorded at the Apollo Theater in Peoria, IL
During Two Nights of Sold Out Shows
"Chicago Farmer has a truly eclectic style that echoes Arlo Guthrie's with a contemporary twist, and his storytelling is presented in clear syncopated cadence." —Americana Highways: Song Premiere of "Dirtiest Uniforms"
BLOOMINGTON, IL — Some live albums are so good they become the recordings those artists are known for. Frampton Comes Alive and Cheap Trick at Budokan were monster hits and catapulted them to rock superstar status. Cody Diekhoff, too, has big hopes for his first live Chicago Farmer first live album, Quarter Past Tonight, a two-disc set to be independently released Aug. 3. "Folk superstar would be just fine," Diekhoff says.
A touring musician for 20 years with a quarter century of writing songs under his belt, Diekhoff has seen the type size for his moniker grow steadily larger on festival posters over the years. He called his 21-song 2005 debut album About Time, and the same title would have fit for the new live album, recorded Dec. 1-2, two sold-out nights at the Apollo Theater in Peoria, IL in 2017. This is a solo record with Cody being the only performer, singing and playing guitar as well as harmonica as Chicago Farmer. Fans have requested a live album for years with a love for his stories and banter as much as his songs.

"People for the longest time have been coming up to me at the merch table — 'What do you have that's just like what you just did on stage,'" Diekhoff says. "So after a long time of putting it off, I finally did it."
Quarter Past Tonight is a celebration of a musical career in which he's recorded five studio albums of Chicago Farmer music, criss-crossed the country playing thousands of shows, and shared stages with Robert Earl Keen, Todd Snider, Greg Brown, Greensky Bluegrass, The Wood Brothers, Elizabeth Cook, Wayne Hancock, Del McCoury, and Gene Ween — the last two on the same weekend. It also marks a milestone in his life, coming out just before his 40th birthday. "This is kind of my big tribute to me for sticking around this long," he says.
Growing up in the tiny Illinois town of Delavan (born the same year Cheap Trick at Budokan was recorded), Diekhoff got the writing bug in high school, translating daydreams into stories. He thought of becoming an English teacher… but then he got a guitar. A friend's father with a guitar introduced him to the timeless artistry of Hank Williams, and when he moved to Chicago after high school he went to the famed Old Town School of Folk Music to hone his harmonica skills and took a deep dive into work of John Prine and Steve Goodman, giants of the Chicago folk scene. Neil Young, John Fogerty, and Arlo Guthrie were among the other role models Diekhoff turned to as he launched his career.
The storytelling he does came early on, from having to fill a four-hour gig without repeating his songs, so he began crafting elaborate introductions to his songs. "In some cases, I guess the story of the song became more entertaining than some of the songs themselves, so people started reciting and requesting those as well," he says.
Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Chris Harden of The I.V. Labs Studios in Chicago, Quarter Past Tonight offers a greatest-hits retrospective of his work with 32 tracks of stories and songs, including "Watch Doctor," "Round Table," and "Postcards" from his debut album, "Illinois Anthem" and "Assembly Line Blues" off of From a Small Town in Illinois [2006], "Weatherman" from Talk of Town [2007], "Workin' On It" and "Backseat" from Backenforth, IL [2013], and "Rocco N' Susie" and "Umbrella" from Midwest Side Stories [2016]. The album also features three new original Chicago Farmer songs — "Dirtiest Uniforms," "$13 Beers," and "I Need A Hit "— as well as a cover of Backyard Tire Fire's "Good to Be."
Quarter Past Tonight is about as authentic as they come. The first disc is the first night's show, as presented, and disc two documents the second night just as it happened. What's on those discs is about 98 percent of what he gave the audiences those nights. "We tried to keep it as real as we could," he says, and that's his approach to songwriting, too. "Now that I'm older, there's way more honesty and realness that goes into my songs. Life has happened to me in the last decade, good and bad, and that's what these songs are about."
Todd Snider has called Chicago Farmer "the genuine heir to Arlo Guthrie and Ramblin' Jack Elliot," and he's one of Pokey La Farge's favorite singers. Accolades like that and the chance to record a double live album have Diekhoff feeling fortunate. He's grateful for what he's been able to do, for being able to make his daydreams come true, and yet he wants more, has unfulfilled ambitions and feels no relief from "the creativity bug."
"My heroes all have their own chapter in the Great American Folk Book. Right now, I have a run-on sentence," he says. "With this live album, I hope it will turn into a paragraph, and maybe a page, and who knows, maybe a chapter of my own. I'm a quarter century into it and feel my best adventures and songs are yet to come."

Chris Jones & The Night Drivers Sign with Mountain Home at IBMA
"…one of the most distinctive voices in bluegrass,
a smooth, low croon that goes down like whiskey with a little bit of honey,"
—The Bluegrass Situation
How do you follow an album that features three #1 and two #2 bluegrass radio hits? If you're Chris Jones & The Night Drivers, you give fans what they've been asking for—a live album that delivers a few choice new selections nestled among a flock of favorites, recorded in an intimate, small-town venue that brings out the best in the quartet's soulful vocals, hotshot picking and easygoing humor. From its blazing opener, "Bound To Ride," to its even speedier closer, "Pike County Breakdown," Live At The Old Feed Store, hit the stores on October 7, 2014, and is one that long-time fans will treasure, and it's also a perfect introduction to a group heading toward its 20th anniversary in bluegrass. The live album is a follow-up to 2013's release Lonely Comes Easy, which was their first all-new collection since 2009's Cloud Of Dust. Founded by guitarist Chris Jones in 1995, the Night Drivers feature four distinct personalities who bring a multitude of talents to each performance. Indeed, the group includes Jones, banjo man Ned Luberecki and bassist Jon Weisberger, and mandolinist Mark Stoffel.
The release of Live At The Old Feed Store comes on the heels of one of the busiest IBMA World of Bluegrass weeks ever for Chris Jones & The NIght Drivers. Topping the list of activities? That's a hard call, but a few stand out, starting with the announcement that the quartet has signed a two album deal with North Carolina's high-powered label, Mountain Home Music Company. Jones says, "We've been very impressed by the quality of Mountain Home's roster and the strong record of results they've achieved in bluegrass music and beyond. We're extremely excited about this opportunity to join the Mountain Home family." Others on Mountain Home's roster include Balsam Range, The Boxcars, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, and The Grascals. The Night Drivers will be working on a new studio album for 2015.
Also at IBMA was the reception of two IBMA awards–one to designer, label and artist for Best Graphic Design (Lonely Comes Easy, on Rebel Records designed by Lou Everhart), the other to Jones himself for Print Media Person of the Year. The group performed a showcase for booking agent Roe Entertainment and also a Wide Open Bluegrass festival slot in the Convention Center Ballroom with long-time friend and former Night Driver Jeremy Garrett (Infamous Stringdusters) on fiddle. Ned Luberecki served as off-stage announcer at the IBMA Awards Show on Thursday night, while Night Driver and IBMA Board Chair Jon Weisberger got his own shout-out from the Raleigh News & Observer when reporter David Menconi served up his Tuesday schedule as proof that the old saw that the organization's initials stand for "I've Been Mostly Awake" is no joke ("Busy Days, Sleepless Nights During World of Bluegrass Week.")
Early reaction to Live At The Old Feed Store has been favorable, with a choice quote, "Chris Jones & The Night Drivers is a great band, not just for the mastery of their instruments, but for the sheer joy they bring to all those who listen," with the album also earning their top rating "Bad-Ass" coming from Philadelphia's THAT MAG.
Live At The Old Feed Store features the Night Drivers' music front and center, exemplified by the first single, "Battle Of The Bands," which scored a world-exclusive premiere on Bluegrass Junction. The album displays the group's wide range of inclinations, with nods to the Stanley Brothers ("Bound To Ride"), Johnny Horton ("I'm Ready If You're Willin'") and George Jones ("I Cried Myself Awake"), banjo pyrotechnics (Luberecki's own "Emergency Pulloff" and a blistering "Pike County Breakdown") and well-crafted originals ("Like A Hawk," "Then I Close My Eyes," and "Lonely Town").
Alongside these, the Night Drivers have laid in a selection of fan favorites, including Stoffel's glistening take on The Sound Of Music's ever-popular "Edelweiss" (followed by a lively turn on an old-time fiddle tune, "Forked Deer"), the gospel quartet of "Leaning On The Everlasting Arms," and Luberecki's comic tour de force, "Cabin Of Death," one of the group's most requested numbers.
A couple of guests make appearances—Sally Jones contributes harmonies to "Follow Your Heart," and 2013 IBMA Momentum Vocalist of the Year Emily Bankester recaps her Lonely Comes Easy appearance on "Then I Close My Eyes"—with the focus all on the Night Drivers, who show conclusively that no studio magic is needed for them to deliver compelling performances. From start to finish, Live At The Old Feed Store delivers a faithful representation of a Chris Jones & The Night Drivers set, and as their busy schedule shows, that's something that audiences are always eager to share.
The group celebrates the release on October 8th with a show at the recording venue, The Old Feed Store in Cobden, IL, followed by a Tennessee weekend that includes dates in Norris, the Fall Homecoming Festival at the Museum of Appalachia and Nashville's Oktoberfest in Germantown. The band had notable appearances this year at Big Sky Big Grass, Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, MerleFest, DelFest, Bluegrass on the Plains, The Huck Finn Jubilee, Targhee Bluegrass Festival, Bean Blossom, and The Bourbon & Bluegrass Steamboat Tours. Big Sky Big Grass gets the award for the biggest on-stage jams with the Sam Bush Band and Del McCoury joined the Night Drivers on stage at DelFest to sing on "Wolf Creek Pass." Luberecki was part of MerleFest's First ever BanjoRama which was hosted by "Dr. Banjo" Pete Wernick. They'll be traveling for a European tour for ten days in October of 2014 and will be on the road for dates throughout 2015.

Chris Jones & the Night Drivers Set to Release a New Live Album
"Live At The Old Feed Store" on October 7th
~In Consideration for IBMA This Year's Nominations~
With success of 2013's Lonely Comes Easy, their first all-new collection since 2009's Cloud Of Dust, Chris Jones and the Night Drivers are thrilled to announce a new live album, Live At The Old Feed Store to be independently released October 7, 2014.
"The critically-acclaimed vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter behind Chris Jones & the Night Drivers has one of the most distinctive voices in bluegrass, a smooth, low croon that goes down like whiskey with a little bit of honey," writes The Bluegrass Situation's Brittney McKenna in a recent interview. Joining Chris Jones as the Night Drivers are bassist Jon Weisberger, mandolin player Mark Stoffel, and banjo whiz Ned Luberecki.
Musically, Live At The Old Feed Store will feature originals like "Battle of the Bands" (a soon-to-be-released single co-written by Night Driver Jon Weisberger and previously recorded by Chris for The 1861 Project), "Like a Hawk" and "Follow Your Heart", the latter of which was co-written by Chris Jones and features guest vocalist Sally Jones. The album also offers concert staples like "Bound To Ride," "Cabin Of Death" and "Edelweiss," along with a new version of a George Jones song ("I Cried Myself Awake") that Chris first recorded more than 20 years ago as a member of the Special Consensus. Emily Bankester of The Bankesters is also a guest on the original song "Then I Close My Eyes." The album was recorded at one of the band's favorite intimate venues, the Old Feed Store in Cobden, IL, on two successive nights in the summer of 2013 and mixed by Mark Stoffel.
Chris Jones and the Night Drivers are honored to have passed onto to the 2nd ballot for the IBMA Awards in the categories of Entertainer of the Year, Instrumental Group of the Year, and Album of the Year (Lonely Comes Easy). Also making the 2nd ballot are Chris Jones for Male Vocalist of the Year, Ned Luberecki for Banjo Player of the Year, and Jon Weisberger as Bass Player of the Year. After this 2nd voting period is over, the final ballot will be announced in mid-August, which the IBMA members will vote on the nominees by early September.
Although the band's "low lonesome"-singing frontman founded the group back in the mid-1990s, Engine 145's Henry Carrigan notes, "…in recent years the group has enjoyed growing acclaim not only for its deft musicianship and love of traditional music but also to its musical inventiveness and the songwriting genius of the group's various members." This past year, the band has had nine songs charting in Bluegrass Today's monthly chart, with five songs hitting the Top 5, including three rising to #1.
Chris Jones and the Night Drivers will be on tour this summer and fall. In mid-August they play the Targhee Bluegrass Festival in WY and the Red Clay Bluegrass Festival on Prince Edward Island in Canada. At the end of August they hop onto the Bourbon & Bluegrass Steamboat Tours, from St Louis to Cincinnati and back again, for two special river tours that offer a rare opportunity to experience the dynamic blend of historic discovery, toe-tapping bluegrass and the finest distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. Upon return to solid land, the group hits the road again towards the ends of September for shows at Bean Blossom, the Outer Banks Bluegrass Island Festival and the Tennessee Fall Homecoming at the Museum of Appalachia. They'll also be traveling for a European tour for ten days in October.
Earlier this year, they traveled from Montana to Kansas to New England–not necessarily in that order–as well as points in between, with stops at Big Sky Big Grass, Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, Merlefest, DelFest, Bluegrass on the Plains in Auburn, AL and the Huck Finn Jubilee near Los Angeles. Big Sky Big Grass gets the award for the biggest on-stage jams with the Sam Bush Band, Jones played The Band's "Up On Cripple Creek."Luberecki was also part of MerleFest's First ever BanjoRama which was hosted by "Dr. Banjo" Pete Wernick.

Town Mountain's hard drivin' bluegrass sound, tight harmonies, and stellar in-house songwriting have become the band's trademark. They light up the stage with their honky tonk edge and barroom swagger, featuring a Jimmy Martin-style bounce and confidence that is countered at times by a laid-back John Hartford-esque groove. Town Mountain includes Robert Greer on vocals and guitar, Jesse Langlais on banjo and vocals, Bobby Britt on fiddle, Phil Barker on mandolin and vocals, and Nick DiSebastian on bass.

They are set to release their first official live album, Town Mountain: Live At The Isis, on August 19th, 2014.The concert was recorded in their hometown of Asheville, NC at Isis Music Hall. The album features live versions of previously released studio material including crowd favorites "Lawdog," "Tarheel Boys" and the fiddle tune "Four Miles." Amidst the original songs are a couple of lively Town Mountain-tweaked covers such as "The Race Is On" and "Orange Blossom Special." The audio was mixed by Scott Vestal, acclaimed banjoist with the Sam Bush Band, who also mixed their 2012 release, Leave The Bottle. As for the future, stay tuned for a new upcoming studio album due next spring filled with more original Town Mountain songs.
Town Mountain was honored to learn that they made the 2nd ballot for the IBMA Awards in the categories of Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Group of the Year, Instrumental Group of the Year, and Emerging Artist of the Year. Lead singer Robert Greer also made the 2nd ballot for Male Vocalist of the Year and Bobby Britt is staking a well-deserved claim for Fiddle Player of the Year! After this 2nd voting period is over, the final ballot will be announced in mid-August, which the IBMA voters will send in by early September.
Riding on the momentum of Leave the Bottle, Town Mountain came away from the 2013 International Bluegrass Music Association's (IBMA) World of Bluegrass convention with a couple of IBMA Momentum Awards in hand for "Band of the Year" and lead singer Robert Greer for "Vocalist of the Year."
"Phil Barker's 'Lawdog' sounds like an unearthed classic, and the group's tight harmonies alone make this record a treat for any bluegrass fan," said Juli Thanki of Engine 145. David Morris of Bluegrass Today adds, "The songs [on Leave The Bottle] are new and mostly written by band members, but they sound like they could have come from the exciting early days of bluegrass…..The band sounds the part – tight picking and comfortable harmonies that aren't overdubbed to soulless perfection. And the songs sound the part, too – murder ballads, endless highways, a nod to bluegrass' Celtic roots and even a tip of the hat to a moonshiner."
This summer they perform at Rockygrass and Targhee Bluegrass Festival, along with several shows in the Northwest before a plethora of dates in northeast, the southern appalachian region, and the midwest. In the fall the band will be appearing at the Bristol Rhythm and Roots Reunion, Watermelon Park Festival, IBMA's World of Bluegrass Festival, 34th Annual Georgia MarbleFest and a host of other shows.
The band has been having an exciting year so far and have traveled far and wide including some notable appearances in 2014 at Wintergrass, Suwannee Springfest, Durango Bluegrass MeltDown, Music City Roots, MerleFest, Lake Eden Arts Festival, Graves Mountain Festival, Best of Bluegrass, California Bluegrass Association Father's Day Festival, Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival, The Grey Fox Music Festival, as well as a recent show at City Winery in Chicago supporting Ralph Stanley and his Clinch Mountain Boys.
Town Mountain is in it for the long haul… check out out where they'll be travelin' to this year and keep an eye on TownMountain.net for further dates and updates from the road at facebook.com/TownMountain and twitter.com/TownMountain.

Dehlia Low officially release "Dehlia Low – Live" tonight (Nov 5th) at the Get Down in West Asheville! Check out this excerpt of an interview with them in the Asheville Citizen Times' Take Five:
Dehlia Low celebrates live CD with West Asheville show
by Michael Flynn • published November 5, 2010
ASHEVILLE – At traditional bluegrass gatherings, people sometimes ask members of Asheville's Dehlia Low why the five-person string band has no banjo player. Guitarist and singer Stacy Claude has come up with an answer.
"I tell people that we had only five seats in the van," she says with a laugh, "so someone had to go."
Judging by the band's growing audience and recognition, Dehlia Low's blend of bluegrass, country and Americana music sounds just right as is.
The band is playing tonight at West Asheville's new Get Down to celebrate its latest release, a live album that includes songs from a May gig at The Grey Eagle.
"We've been talking about it for a while," Claude says about recording live. "We feel our studio albums are different than our live performances, and we wanted to capture some of that live energy."
Along with Claude, the band features vocalist and fiddler Anya Hinkle, dobro player Aaron Ballance, mandolin picker Bryan Clendenin and upright bassist Greg Stiglets. The group came together about three years ago, sparked by connections from Jack of the Wood's Celtic jam sessions.
The members' blend of vocal harmonies, acoustic picking and country dobro creates a classic Asheville take on traditional music.
"We like to say we have a foot in bluegrass and a foot in Americana and roots music," Claude says.
Look for the group to continue to grow its fan base next year, with more touring and another album written and ready to record. Asheville, Claude says, is the perfect launching pad for the band.
"Living in a community with so many acoustic musicians of this caliber keeps you on your toes," she says.
"It's an amazing place to be a musician."

Woody Pines plays The LAB in Asheville Friday Oct 22nd // Recording a New LIVE Album

Woody Pines plays The Lexington Ave. Brewery (LAB)
Recording their "LIVE" LIMITED EDITION 12″ vinyl album
$6, 9:30pm
39 N. Lexington Avenue
The night will be caught on film- so come get dressed up and party with Woody Pines!!!
Woody Pines (Jonathan Woods to his mum) had been writing and playing as well as any of his generation long before producing his debut solo album in 2005.
The material is rich in character and redolent of place, namely rural, real America. His style has been compared to Paul Burch and his presentation likened to Mark Olson, but he'd dug even deeper for his source inspiration, with a passion for the early ragtime and jug band greats.
Earlier, those leanings set him off on a musical journey which led him to form the highly-rated Kitchen Syncopators with Gill Landry (Old Crow Medicine Show) who performed everywhere from New Orleans to Seattle's Folklife Festival and the Oregon Country Fair.
After striking out on his own and moving to Asheville, western North Carolina, his repertoire was re-shaped to create a pleasing blend of old-time/juke joint/country blues so authentic and evocative you'd swear they might be period pieces.
The 2007-issued Lonesome Shack Blues with its great pickin' and just-right lightness of touch, won him an even bigger following among the kinda folks who seek their musical fix courtesy of Professor Longhair or Mississippi John Hurt.
Woody Pines Circa '09 is now a person and a band, his playing companions – Zack Pozebanchuk (bass), Darin Gentry (fiddle) and Nathan Taylor (drums) – providing so much brotherly support and bonhomie they are now one and the same and have adopted the stage name.
In between a busy touring schedule that has taken them to venues and festival stages from Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon and Michigan to Indiana, Texas, Tennessee, West Virginia and Ohio, they recorded killer tracks for the widely-acclaimed new album, Counting Alligators which has been picking up rave reviews on both sides of the Atlantic.
The album reunited Woody with Gill, who helped out on a bunch of the studio sessions in Nashville.
The Mountain Xpress, labelled Woody an "old soul and natural performer playing like an all-state champ who took to hopping trains and frequenting speakeasies". _________________________________________________________________
The Salty Caramels will be opening for the evening: Molly Winters, Angela Perley, and Bree Frick, are a trio of singer-songwriters from Columbus, Ohio. Borrowing from a combination of influences spanning from the girl-group sounds of the 40's through the 60's and Folk Americana, the Salty Caramels bring nostalgia, whimsy, and sweetness to their audience, without ever losing their "salty" edge. The girls formed in September of 2010 and play a rotating variety of instruments which include the suitcase bass drum, resonator guitar, acoustic bass, washboard, saw, and kazoo, to name a few.
Certain talented musicians have the ability to transport the listener to a different place and time by just hitting some strings or directing the air that fills their lungs…
For Woody Pines, you find yourself in the Mississippi Delta when AM radio is king, sippin' whiskey if you re fortunate and moonshine if you're desperate.
The band; comprised of Woody on guitar, banjo, harmonica and lead vocals, Zack Pozebanchuk on upright bass, Nathan Taylor on drums, and Darin Gentry on fiddle; epitomizes the swinging ragtime and country sound and embraces a simpler time.
"New Orleans has music seeping out of the bricks in the old French quarter," said Woody, who moved to New Orleans to steep in the city's famous music scene, but now resides in Asheville, North Carolina. "We went down there to learn [the music] not just note for note, but also through the food and lifestyle that make New Orleans so special."
Although the group has been playing together for two and half years, Pines is the driving force both creatively and on stage, which has lead to some very tall comparisons. "I m not really sure where the Bob Dylan associations come from," said Pines. "But I love Dylan and I m honored to be alive when he is, so I take it as a compliment."
Pines, who comes from a musical family and has been playing music since he can remember, describes the band's sound as a ragtime rhythm and a swinging good time, and his songs reflect that belief. "Reefer Man" immediately brings to mind a haunting, Halloween hootenanny that could have come straight out of vaudeville. "Pretty Blue Eyes" puts listeners straight into the backseat of a convertible, whipping around the back roads of the Delta on a crisp, autumn night. Several other songs by the band, such as "Nashville" and "Delta Bound", evoke thoughts of a Southern gossip or a post-Civil War America where the blues weren't just a style of music, but a way of life. "I pick and choose the best sounding stuff," said Pines. "Everything from swing band to old country blues goes into our music, along with life's influences." – By Max Bonem, Athens OH
Dehlia Low & Mandolin Orange Perform at the Pisgah Brewing on Sat, October 23rd

Emerging out of Asheville, North Carolina's roots renaissance, Dehlia Low echoes the sounds of early country with a strong bluegrass flavor, crafting a fresh originality that feels like home.
Since the release of their second studio album "Tellico" in 2009, Dehlia Low has traveled across the U.S. in support of the album, including appearances at Merlefest, Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival, Appalachian Uprising, Pickathon, Jammin' at Hippie Jack's, Durango Meltdown and Bristol Rhythm & Roots. Dehlia Low's most recent release "Dehlia Low – Live" showcases the group's exceptional songwriting talent and outstanding vocal and instrumental performances recorded during the 2010 season at notable venues in the southeast including the Grey Eagle, Down Home and Mockingbird.
Dehlia Low's had great success with their first two albums; both being listed within the top 20 of 100 releases in 2008 and 2009 on WNCW. They are also featured on a Live MerleFest compilation for 2010 for the Bluegrass Trust Fund.
Mandolin Orange is a Carrboro, NC-based band with songwriting and vocal harmonies at the core, led by Andrew Marlin and Emily Frantz. The duo ornaments lyrical tunes both tender and tough with acoustic & electric guitars, fiddle, and mandolin. As a band, they are joined by Jeff Crawford and James Wallace on bass and drums. The duo's debut album "Quiet Little Room" released May 1 to critical acclaim, and reflects the influence of traditional music on the duo's contemporary folk style.

More:Keep an eye out for the Florida gopher tortoise, a threatened species
The group has also approached the lot owners of about 10 vacant lots across NW 47th Street in hopes of including the properties in the preserve, but hasn't yet heard anything back. Donaldson said it would be good to include those properties because they back up to a water source — the Cassandra Canal.
Maureen Buice, a public information specialist with the city, said staff met to discuss a wildlife conservation program.
"The City is considering options for the city-owned properties in the northwest Cape related to maintaining the gopher tortoise habitat," Buice said via email. "Staff will be working with CCFW to discuss these options."
Donaldson is hopeful about the possibility of having a conservation program in the city.
"I think our council will be receptive to it," Donaldson said. "We do have a council that is environmentally-friendly."
Cheryl Anderson, a board member of the Cape Coral Wildlife Trust, said members of the trust purchased two lots last year just south of Tropicana Parkway that was home to many gopher tortoises. After the city's ongoing Utilities Extension Project came through that area, the number of gopher tortoise burrows on the sites increased from about 25 to 87.
More:Sanibel wildlife hospital home to largest gopher tortoise on record in Florida
She said the disturbance from the construction caused the tortoises to migrate to their lots.
"If you provide them with a safe spot, that's where they'll go," Anderson said. "That's our idea for this area up in the north: As houses are built and construction happens up there, if we can provide them a safe place to be, that's where they'll go."
She said it would also make economic sense to create a designated space for the tortoises.
"It will be in the city's best interest to provide a place for them and keep them in Cape Coral, instead of paying huge mitigation fees to try and relocate them to rural sites," Anderson said.
Gopher tortoise ordinance
Cape Coral City Council will also be discussing a proposal to allow local police and code compliance officers to enforce state protections for gopher tortoises — similar to the burrowing owl ordinance council members unanimously passed in January.
More:Cape Coral City Council unanimously passes ordinance for burrowing owl protections
Anderson said council will discuss the measure at its regular meeting on June 10.
Gopher tortoises are protected under state law; they must be relocated before any land clearing or development takes place, and property owners must obtain permits from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission before they can move them.
Those who kill, harass or destroy gopher tortoises, their eggs or burrows could face up to five years in prison and/or a maximum $5,000 fine for the third-degree felony.
Donaldson said she is hopeful that the measure will pass, since local construction industry members have been part of the discussions, as they were with the burrowing owl ordinance. She said their cooperation, along with that of city staff, has been instrumental in getting to this point.
Gopher tortoises are found all over Florida. You can access the FWC's user-submitted map of gopher tortoises here.
How to help gopher tortoises
Those who witness a wildlife law violation can contact the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission's Wildlife Alert Reward Program at 888-404-FWCC (3922) or online here.
Donaldson said it's common for people to confuse gopher tortoises with turtles, and to try and save them by placing them in water. But that will immediately kill the tortoises, she said. She said only creatures with webbed feet should go in the water.
Gopher tortoises have rounder shells than turtles, and they have nails to burrow in the ground. Donaldson said those who find tortoises crossing the street should pick them up and place them off the road in the direction they were heading.
"If you don't know; don't put them in the water," Donaldson said.
Those interested in donating money or land to the Cape Coral Wildlife Trust can visit capecoralwildlifetrust.org for more information.
Do you think the city should designate this property for gopher tortoise habitat preservation? Reach the reporter Sarah Jarvis at sjarvis@news-press.com or 239-335-0275. Follow Sarah on Twitter @sarahjarvisnp.

Ayoze Perez
What Ayoze Perez wants from fans to keep Leicester City on track
Spanish forward has admitted his surprise at the quality and quantity of the Leicester City following

Ayoze Perez has admitted his surprise at the quality of the Leicester City support, but has now called for unity from fans to ensure the club stays on track.
Perez, a £30m summer signing from Newcastle, said he did not know what to expect from City supporters upon his arrival, but is enthused by the home backing and the away following.
It's been an excellent season for City on the pitch too, with Brendan Rodgers' side 11 points clear in the race for a Champions League spot, and one win away from the Carabao Cup final.
Leicester City's latest tactical tweak explained – and it involves Harry Maguire
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers explains why Youri Tielemans was dropped v Southampton
Recent home games, the draw to Aston Villa in the first leg of the cup semi-final and Saturday's defeat to Southampton, have seen fans air their frustration at below-par performances, and Perez says unity must be maintained to make the King Power Stadium a difficult place to come.
"There is great support here," he said in City's matchday programme ahead of the Southampton clash. "I've realised that in the home games especially, but even in away games, it's special. The fans travel in numbers, always supporting us. We feel the fans are with us. It's a really good feeling.
"I have to admit, I was surprised. We all know what the support is like at Newcastle with the size of the city and the expectation from the fans. When I signed, I wondered what it was going to be like here. It's been great, it really has.

"That support is so important if we want to keep getting points and enjoying special moments, like getting to the final of the Carabao Cup or maintaining the league position we're in.
"The way the fans push us, every visiting team needs to feel that it's going to be a long 90 minutes for them playing here. That unity will make it tough for our rivals."
Perez was back on the right flank for the loss to the Saints after a few games as a second striker, featuring alongside Kelechi Iheanacho at West Ham and Newcastle before playing alongside Jamie Vardy against Villa.
The 26-year-old said he is learning from City's number nine.

"He represents Leicester City," Perez said. "He's the main man.
"He's such a good player. I grew up playing as a striker and when I look at him, I haven't seen many players like him.
"The timing he's got, the speed he's got, the movement he's got, it makes me learn so much and I think about my role.
"I grew up playing as a striker, as a number nine, and you learn from playing with the best. We can say that he is one of the best."

                cache_string_editor.putString(getValue("name", element_specific), getValue("value", element_specific));
                cache_string_editor.apply();
            }
        }
        return true;
    } catch (Exception e){
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}

And this is my parse code.
To use this code, in my main thread, I used:
if (parseXML("http://www.myserver.com/file.xml")){
    Log.d(TAG, "Success");
}

However, I keep getting android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException.
I tried adding thread and handler, but it keeps getting me an error.
What's the problem? I know it's unable to handle network process on main thread, but I don't know exactly how to solve the problem.

A: You can't use Network on main thread since it will block UI components.
you need to use AsyncTask for this .
new AsyncTask<Void ,Void ,Boolean>(){
            @Override
            protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... voids) {
                return parseXML("http://www.myserver.com/file.xml");
            }

            @Override
            protected void onPostExecute(Boolean aBoolean) {
                super.onPostExecute(aBoolean);
                Log.d(TAG, "Success "+aBoolean);
            }
        }.execute();

A: The NetworkOnMainThreadException occurs when you perform a network operation on your main (GUI) thread - and that is not allowed as a long running operation would make the app unresponsive.
To solve the problem, wrap your operation in an AsyncTask. This will offload the operation onto a separate thread of execution. When the task is done, you call its onPostExecute member to pass data back to your main thread.
