Grenoble-based Enlaps raises €3 million for its timelapse cameras and app for video editing, expands product range
By Mary Loritz
Creating timelapse videos has always been a challenge for professional photographers, both in technical and financial terms. Grenoble-based startup Enlaps has developed a major innovation in the world of digital imaging with its special Tikee brand cameras. By offering a totally integrated solution including a camera and an app that allows video editing and social media sharing, the solution has made timelapse technology easier to use and more accessible, while reducing the production cost by a factor of 10.
Founded in 2015 and recognized in 2016 with an Innovation Award at CES in Las Vegas, Enlaps has now raised a round of €3 million from business angels including Fabien Pierlot, founder and CEO of Coyote, Jiong Ma, Senior Partner at Braemar, Charles Matine, ex-Apple and from banking institutions such as BPI, BNP Paribas and Caisse d'Epargne.
Enlaps will use the funding to further develop its product and to provide its solutions to a broader range of customers, from professional users to individuals with a passion for photography. Its Tikee solution, based on a compact device equipped with two 4K cameras and a fully-autonomous power supply, takes timelapse videos and is mainly used for site monitoring, event, and tourism purposes. It has already been adopted by a number of building and public works groups in France as well as with local authorities and events organisers. Since 2018, nearly 2,000 units have been sold in more than 52 countries around the world.
"We are very pleased with the confidence that our business angels and financial partners have placed in us," said Antoine Auberton, Enlaps CEO and founder. "It will allow us to speed up our international growth and invest in R&D so that we can make artificial intelligence technologies a central part of our solutions and exploit to the maximum the potential of content created using timelapse videos."
Today, Enlaps is renewing its offering with two new products that will allow more people to create and share timelapse videos while satisfying the requirements of professional photographers. Enlaps is launching the Tikee PRO 2, which capitalises on the success of the previous Tikee PRO model with improved features and the Tikee PRO 2+, a high end 6K model with twice as much autonomy, equipped with a embedded GPS and which can take a micro-SD card with storage of up to 512 GB.
"I am certain that with this new range and these new features, not only professional photographers and businesses but also individuals with a passion for photography will be able to use the solution best suited to their needs to create more innovative and exciting digital content at a very attractive price," said Benoit Farinotte, Enlaps CTO and founder.
As of today, Tikee PRO 2 will be available from the online store at a price of €900 excluding VAT, while the Tikee PRO 2+ will be available for pre-order at a price of €1,300 excluding VAT. About Enlaps Enlaps was founded in 2015 by Antoine Auberton and Benoît Farinotte. It designs and markets Tikee (Time Keeper) timelapse solutions for professionals photographers and businesses that want to produce and share innovative digital content.

Right after the faithful canine that romps through the fields and warns of danger, raptors are a farmer's best friend. There's no bond between farmer and flyer similar to the affection between man and dog, and it's rare to give a barn owl or hawk a pat of thanks on the head, but these birds of prey still do their job every day and night.
Raptors include eagles, hawks, owls and falcons and the long-standing relationship they share with farmers comes from their ability to kill and eat a great number of rodents and small birds. Barn owls alone eat two to three rodents a night and when they have a clutch will hunt the same amount for each owlet which adds up to thousands of pests a year.
One Lower Mainland researcher and wildlife biologist, Sofi Hindmarch, has been hot on the trail of barn owls since 2007 and recently conducted a study through the Fraser Basin Council funded by the BC Agricultural Research & Development Corporation (ARDCorp). Hindmarch was in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Langley, Abbotsford and Mission to review the numbers of barn owls.
Unfortunately, those in rural areas may keep buildings that make good habitat for barn owls closed due to the mess owls can make and opportunity for pests, but adding a nest box solves many problems.
While raptors are efficient, they aren't perfect; there will always be a food source (and a headache for farmers). Farmers who want to encourage the birds of prey are stuck with a small, yet controlled pest population.
So if raptors aren't as efficient as rodenticides, why not go the chemical route? There is a temptation to deal with the pests chemically, but not only does this remove food for predatory birds, it also causes damage and may lead to death. Chemicals will continue to erode the raptor population and can cause other secondary poisonings of curious dogs, cats and other animals. Hindmarch has been studying these ill effects and is working with Environment Canada to do blood sampling of the birds at O.W.L., the orphaned wildlife rehabilitation facility in Delta, to help determine just how much of an issue rodenticides pose.
Blood sampling isn't offered in Canada so the samples will be sent south.
The harming of raptors from eating poisoned rodents is not confined to just one part of the province. In the City of Duncan on Vancouver Island, Annie Ellison, research and education coordinator with The Raptors is often educating people about the harmful effects of rodenticides on birds of prey.
At The Raptors (which has been in operation since 2002) it's the up-close-and-personal aspect that helps people better care for the raptors around them—farmers already have this connection so it's simply a matter of additional education to keep raptors healthy.
Ellison and Hindmarch both recommended using traps and other non-chemical methods to keep rodent populations down in tandem with raptors.
Fallow fields, hedgerows and nest boxes attract predatory raptors. If trees are in short supply, Ellison suggested installing tall perches or platforms to allow for perching and scanning for prey.
By encouraging raptors to stay on farm land, the birds are more likely to have offspring and further control pest populations. Farmers in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley can contact Hindmarch at 778-238-7380 for help with creating habitat for barn owls. She will even provide nesting boxes and assist with installation.


When I was a teenager, my family took a two-week road trip, stopping at various historical sites across the country. One of our stops featured several shops and demonstrations showcasing what life was like in the 1800s. In addition to seeing a blacksmith, brick mason and baker at work, the family observed a presentation in which we were shown the process by which candles were made. These were not the scented candles in jars that are common today. These candles were long and cylindrical, and made to be placed on candlesticks.
In olden days, before electricity, the only source of light after the sun went down came from the flames of candles and kerosene lamps. Candles provided access to light at times when fires or darkness were the only other options.
The process of making candles, I learned, was one that could not be rushed. It had to be done dip by dip. It starts with a long, thin, flimsy wick. The wick is dipped into heated wax. It is brought out of the hot wax and allowed to harden in the cool air. It is dipped again. It is lifted out again. It is dipped again. It is lifted again. With each new dip, a thin film of wax is added onto the body of the candle. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, it becomes thicker and stronger with each added dip until it eventually becomes a fully-formed candle. You could say that it waxes stronger and stronger.
It is interesting to consider that this process can't be rushed by simply leaving the wick in the wax for an extended period of time. This won't make it thicker faster. In fact, if a partially formed candle were left in the hot wax, what existed of the candle would melt and there would be no candle. Only the wick would remain and the process would have to begin again.
The process of creating a candle happens step by step, dip by dip. That candle is then capable of holding a flame that can bring light to a house, be a guide to someone who is lost, or aid someone who is searching for something.
The growth of people can be similar to the growth of candles. It is a process that happens a little at a time. Sometimes the growth is hard to measure in the moment. But, little by little, it comes when the right process is followed. And, when a person is healthy and strong, they become a source of light and guidance to others.
The intent of this blog and of my clinical work as a marriage and family therapist is to help others in their efforts to wax strong. For some that growth involves healing. For some that growth involves learning. For most, it involves discovering and acting upon their personal strengths, resources and potential. It also often involves recognizing and becoming free from influences and beliefs that can restrict choice and freedom. It also involves healthy and rewarding relationships. Accordingly, this blog will feature posts about wounds and healing, it will include relevant knowledge and insightful information, and it will highlight strengths and resources. And it will share guidance related to marriage, parenting, interpersonal relationships and family life. It is my hope that I can perhaps provide something that will help individuals, couples and families to wax a little bit stronger so that they can shine a little bit brighter.


Held from 1 to 4 July 2012, the World Cities Summit is a biennial global event for world leaders and experts to exchange new ideas on liveable and sustainable urban solutions, explore the latest technologies and forge new business partnerships. Based on the theme of "Liveable And Sustainable Cities – Integrated Urban Solutions", the third edition of the Summit is expected to share new insights and trends on urbanisation challenges around the world.
Since it started in 2008, this biennial high-level global Summit has been attracting top government and industry leaders from around the world. The third run this year is timely given the urgent need for cities to step up their efforts to address mounting urbanisation challenges.
The Summit offers a platform for dialogue and learning through sharing of best practices, which offer new insights and perspectives to addressing cities' unique problems and challenges.
The World Cities Summit is co-organised by the Centre for Liveable Cities and the Urban Redevelopment Authority.
Refer to Annex A for an overview of the World Cities Summit programme.
Touching on a new direction for cities of the future, the Summit's theme is "Liveable and Sustainable Cities – Integrated Urban Solutions".
Integrated solutions is about taking a helicopter view towards urban planning as opposed to buying single solutions to meet single needs on water, environment and waste.
A bigger turn-out of more than 3,500 top global leaders is expected for this year's Summit, which will be co-located for the very first time with two other events – the 5th Singapore International Water Week (SIWW) and the inaugural CleanEnviro Summit Singapore (CESS).
The co-location of the three events reflects this move towards integration, facilitating deeper discussions on new solutions and ideas in this area.
Some of the key speakers for the World Cities Summit 2012 include Ms Helen Clark, Administrator of United Nations Development Programme, Kamal Nath, India's Minister of Urban Development, and Dr Roland Busch, CEO of Infrastructure & Cities, Siemens AG. Highlevel industry experts, leading academics and representatives of international organisations from KPMG, IBM, Keppel, Harvard Business School, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation will also participate in the event.
Refer to Annex B for key speakers at WCS.
Eco-Cities: Fad or a sustainable option for cities?
Refer to Annex C for details on the major topics covered at WCS.
One new aspect of this year's Summit is a stronger facilitation of business collaborations. New In-Focus sessions will be offered as a platform for government leaders and industry solution providers to share opportunities and solutions on urban infrastructure and services for the emerging economies of Asia.
The World Cities Summit Expo will also showcase model cities' best practices, innovative urban solutions and technologies for smarter cities of the future. Of the over 2,000 square metres of the Expo, 90% of the space has been taken up, with 3,000 attendees expected to visit. The Expo has also attracted strong participation from governments, including those from Saudi Arabia and Denmark, and the private sector, including Siemens, Keppel, IBM and Accenture.
The Mayors Forum is an annual international platform for Mayors, government officials and urban experts to share best practices in urban development. This year, it will focus on solutions to high-rise, high-density living in cities. The forum is a key highlight of WCS and has gained international traction, with 54 Mayors already having confirmed their attendance, up from 32 Mayors in 2010. Half are new participants from ASEAN, Africa, South America, India and Russia.
Another major highlight of the Summit is the Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize. The Prize honours outstanding contributions towards the creation of vibrant, liveable and sustainable urban communities around the world. This prestigious prize is named after Singapore's first Prime Minister who was instrumental in transforming Singapore into a distinctive, clean and green garden city within a few decades. Bilbao City Hall was named the inaugural Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize Laureate in 2010 for its significant urban transformation over 25 years.
The Lee Kuan Yew World City Prize 2012 was awarded to New York City for its remarkable transformation since September 11.
New York City and the six special mentions will share their success stories in a lecture and forum during the World Cities Summit on 2 July 2012. There will also be an award ceremony for the Prize Laureate 2012.
Another major co-located event with WCS is the Asian Network of Major Cities. Led by Japan, it is a platform to promote collaboration amongst 11 member cities (eg. Seoul, Taipei, Delhi, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Hanoi, Bangkok) on crisis management, environmental countermeasures and industrial development. Singapore will host the 11th plenary meeting on 30 June 2012.
The World Cities Summit would like to thank the following sponsors: Keppel Corporation, Shell, Accenture Pte Ltd, Far East Organization, IBM, NCS Pte Ltd, Panasonic Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, Siemens, China Construction (South Pacific) Development Co Pte Ltd, EDF/VEOLIA, GDF SUEZ, KPMG Services Pte Ltd, Philips Lighting China, Qingjian International (South Pacific) Development Co Pte Ltd, Singbridge International Pte Ltd.


This is what a chess set using Plasti-Block™ ABS dual color rods could look like.
Other color combinations can also be fun!
Let us know what else would you like to see modeled using this product. We are looking forward to hear your ideas.
Send me a sample, I will design, turn and mill a part and post pictures here, your goal is to highlight the 2 color properties correct?
Does the material have any physical properties beyond available ABS such as temperature resistance, creep strength, fire resistance or impact resistance?
Very nice use of the 2-color effect!
The horse can't be made in this color sheme.
Why couldn't the rook be made? There is an error where there should be more white on it's neck but otherwise looks fine.
Errr......that's the Knight, not the Rook or the horse.
Sorry Tony. Brain disconnects at about 2:00am. Thanks for the clarification.
Ron, no fault......0200 your brain is supposed to be resting. Just wanted to point it out for the non-players.
The idea is greath bit, If the bar is white on center and colored on out diameter, the horse is not right.
That is awesome. Is there any reason that material cant be turned on a wood lathe?

Q: Redirect to LogOff Page in case of Failure in Ajax call I want to redirect my request to LogOff page, if there is any error in the Struts2 Action class.
I am doing a ajax call to struts action from db.jsp, where I am validating the session variables.
I want user to get ajax response on db.jsp, if session is validated, else redirect to logoff.jsp.
My Ajax call from db.jsp is like :
  $.ajax({
          type : "POST",
          url: "startapp",
          data:{ processDateInput: processDate,secretToken:tokenLocal},
          dataType: "json",
          async: true,
          success: function(result) {
                                var od = JSON.stringify(result);
                                var obj = JSON.parse(od);
                                var i = 0;
                                console.log(od);
                                }
});

I am validating the  ere if the session is validated, send the response back to Ajax, else redirect to LogOffRedirection.jsp page from where user is logged off from the application:
    public class StartAppAction extends ActionSupport {

        private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(StartAppAction.class
                .getName());

        private static final long serialVersionUID = -367986889632883043L;
        private final static String SUCCESS = "success";
        private final static String FAILURE = "failure";

        // private ProcessDate pd = new ProcessDate();

        private Object od;
        private String processDateInput = null;
        private String secretToken=null;

        public String execute() throws Exception {

            HttpServletRequest request = ServletActionContext.getRequest();
            HttpServletResponse response = ServletActionContext.getResponse();
    try{
                if(null!=request.getSession().getAttribute("sesStrUID") && null!=secretToken){
                    if(!secretToken.trim().equals(request.getSession().getAttribute("sesStrUID").toString().trim())){
                        return FAILURE;

                    }

                   }
               }
               catch (Exception e) {
                   logger.error("Exception in token verification in Pre con action");
               }
        return SUCCESS;
        }
public String getProcessDateInput() {
        return processDateInput;
    }

    public void setProcessDateInput(String processDateInput) {
        this.processDateInput = processDateInput;
    }

    public Object getOd() {
        return od;
    }

    public void setOd(Object od) {
        this.od = od;
    }

    public String getSecretToken() {
        return secretToken;
    }

    public void setSecretToken(String secretToken) {
        this.secretToken = secretToken;
    }

Struts.xml I have given as :
<action name="startapp" class="com.ge.wd.action.StartAppAction">
            <result name= "success" type="json"></result>
            <result name="failure">/jsp/LogOffRedirection.jsp</result>
        </action>

It is not working, should it work like this?
Or do we have anything else to acheive the same in Struts2.

A: Instead of redirecting from the server, which wouldn't work since you are doing an Asynchronous call using AJAX.  What you need to do is redirect from your success method, by sending a value which specifies the error condition you want to redirect for.  In the case below, I'm passing a "RedirectURL" as a root member of the returned JSON object.  If it exists, then you would redirect.
For example...
$.ajax({
      type : "POST",
      url: "startapp",
      data:{ processDateInput: processDate,secretToken:tokenLocal},
      dataType: "json",
      async: true,
      success: function(result) {

And now, a few of the stories we're following for you tonight, The $4.6 billion dollar capital budget proposed by the House this week includes $34 million dollars for replacement of Wells Hall at Wenatchee Valley College, and, Washington is about to become the seventh state to raise the legal age for buying tobacco products from 18 to 21.
Kittitas County said goodbye today to fallen Deputy Ryan Thompson. An overflow crowd estimated at over 4,000 filled Nicholson Pavilion on the campus of Central Washington University in Ellensburg for the memorial earlier this afternoon. The 42-year old Thompson was shot and killed after a traffic stop in Kittitas last week. He leaves behind a wife and three children. Deputy Thompson's family released a statement regarding the shooting and how grateful they are with the outpouring of love they have received from all across the state. . .
The $4.6 billion dollar capital budget proposed by the House this week includes $34 million dollars for replacement of Wells Hall at Wenatchee Valley College. Wells Hall was built in 1951 and has numerous problems, including accessibility issues. Early estimates were for a $37 million replacement building, requiring a local commitment of money. The proposed capital budget also includes $2 million for the Winthrop Library and $200,000 for the design of a substance-abuse facility in Chelan County.
12th District representative Mike Steele, who sits on the House Capital Budget Committee said he is QUOTE, happy to see so many worthy projects, UNQUOTE in the budget.
Included in House capital budget is: $34 million dollars for the replacement of Wells Hall at Wenatchee Valley College, $1.28 million for the Twisp Civic Building and Emergency Operation Center, $2 million for the Winthrop Library, $1 million dollars for the Wenatchi Landing sewer extension, $400,000 for the Manson School District's early learning facilities, $200,000 dollars for the design of a substance use disorder facility in Chelan County, $52,000 for Heritage Senior Housing and $52,000 dollars for revitalization in historic downtown Chelan.
Washington is about to become the seventh state to raise the legal age for buying tobacco products from 18 to 21. Both the state House and Senate have approved the change and Governor Inslee has indicated he will sign the bill.
The law also applies to vaping products. The Senate approved the bill Wednesday by a 33 to 12 vote, with the House having earlier approved it by a 66 to 30 vote. 12th District Legislators, Sen. Brad Hawkins, and Reps. Mike Steele and Keith Goehner all voted in favor. The change will go into effect next January.
Coming up next, The Washington Department of Transportation began clearing snow on State Route 20, the North Cascades Highway, and, We will have our weekly Kennel Kameos feature from the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. I'm Grant Olson and you're watching the NCWLIFE Evening News.
Earlier this week, the Washington Department of Transportation began clearing snow on State Route 20, the North Cascades Highway. Crews are clearing both the western and eastern closure points and hope to meet between Rainy and Washington passes in about 4 to 6 weeks.
WSDOT has no set date just yet on when they will swing open the gates to open the highway connecting the Methow and Skagit valleys to traffic. Once crews clear the snow, they will make necessary repairs to the highway, including guardrails, signs, stripes and pavement patches. Last spring, crews needed seven weeks to clear the highway. Clearing started on March 26th, and the highway reopened on May 11th.
Time now for our weekly Kennel Kameos feature from the Wenatchee Valley Humane Society. Tonight, NCWLife's Megan McPherson introduces us to Lightning the cat. . .
Radarstation is known for bringing a unique vibe to the downtown Wenatchee corridor. With its pop surrealist art lining the walls, Radar has been the host of events like open mic nights, burlesque and drag shows along with movie screenings. In tonight's feature story, we visit with owner Ron Evans to talk about the recent changes to his local business. . .
The new indoor football team hosts the Reno Express at 7 o'clock in the Town Toyota Center. As of this morning, approximately 15-hundred tickets had been distributed for tonight's game. Ticket prices range from $10 for limited general admission seats to $25 for a sideline view.
The Skyhawks are oh-and-1 after falling to Idaho last weekend on the road 33-22. The Express are 1-and-oh after beating the Tri-Cities Fire last weekend 42-24. Again, kickoff tonight is at 7 o'clock.
The Gonzaga Bulldogs will be first out of the box, taking on Florida State at 4:09 on CBS. That will be followed at 4:29 by Tennessee and Purdue on TBS. The secondary games of the night feature Michigan and Texas Tech at 6:39 on CBS and Virginia and Oregon at 6:57 on TBS.
It's Michigan State and LSU at 4:09 on CBS followed by North Carolina and Auburn at 4:29 on TBS. Then it's Duke and Virginia Tech at 6:39 on CBS and Kentucky and Houston on TBS at 6:57.
Cashmere hosts Highland at 4:30. Cascade travels to Chelan and Manson hosts Bridgeport, also at 4:30.
Cashmere hosts a doubleheader with Quincy at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Wenatchee, trying to just play some games after all the cancellations due to weather, will be in Othello today for a doubleheader with the Huskies at 3:30. Brewster hosts Chelan in a single game at 4:30.
Those matches will begin at Eastmont High School at 3 o'clock. Entiat is hosting Lake Roosevelt later on a 4.
The Wenatchee Thunder host the Selah Vikings in a league contest. Wenatchee's coming off a 19-nothing shellacking of Hanford Monday and are 2-and-oh in league play, 4-and-1 on the season. Selah is off to a 2-and-1 league start, 3-and-1 overall and coming off a 10-1 loss to Richland last Saturday. Faceoff tonight is at 7 o'clock with the pre-game beginning at about 6:50 on the NCWLIFE Channel with Rod Higley and Jimmy Sherril on the play-by-play.
Seattle is 2-and-oh after sweeping a two-game set against Oakland in Tokyo last week. This will be the second time in history the Red Sox, last year's World Series Champions, will open against the Mariners. The last time was in 2000 when Pedro Martinez outdueled Jamie Moyer in a 2-0 victory in Seattle.
Today's starters are Chris Sale for Boston and Marco Gonzales for the Mariners. Newly elected Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez will threw out the first pitch prior to the game, which is underway on ESPN.
We leave you tonight with NCWLIFE's Megan McPherson to fill us in on some of the events going on this weekend. . .


The state of Ohio has been the birthplace of 8 US Presidents, and one King. And no, I'm not talking about Elvis (that's Tupelo, Mississippi). I'm talking about the "King of Hollywood", Mr. Rhett Butler himself Clark Gable.
William Clark Gable was born in Cadiz, Ohio on February 1st, 1901. He was named after his father so the family always called him Clark, Gable's mother passed away when he was just 10 months old, and his father struggled to raise his son. While Gable loved reading especially Shakespeare, he never considered acting until his early twenties.
Clark Gable was born in the upper bedroom apartment of this house.
It's like his ghost still haunts his home.
Clark Gable is one of the most bankable stars of all time. He had starring roles from the 1920's all the way to the 1960s. This despite Louis B Mayer's (the head of MGM) comment upon seeing Gable's first screen test that "His ears are huge, and he looks like an ape. He'll never be a star." Gable had the esoteric "It" that makes someone a star. And for almost 40 years he films consistently made money.
Gossip columnist Louella Parsons has been credited for calling Mr. Gable "The King of Hollywood" But given his track record of hit movies. he has definitely earned it.
Clark Gable was just 59 when he died. Many people believe that working in the hot sun during the filming of the film "The Misfits" with Marilyn Monroe did him in.. (Well, that and a history of heart disease) "The Misfits" was both gable and Monroe's last film. Both would be dead within two years. Co-star Montgomery Clift would also be dead a couple years after that.
For years there was no monument or acknowledgment of Gable's time in Cadiz, Ohio at all. The house he was born in had been torn down years before Clark gable was famous. It wasn't until the 1990's that the city realized tourists might be interested in seeing where one of the largest film stars of all time was born that they pooled the money to recreate the home. They found pictures of the residence and did a good job rebuilding it as it looked at the time.
So if you are in eastern Ohio and "Frankly, you give a damn" come on over to Cadiz and check out the birthplace of a King.
Thanks, They put a lot of work in restoring the place. That and a lot of Gable's fans donated items for the museum too. Glad you liked it.
The movie has a great poster collection from all his movies and some nice gone with the wind momentos.

Boston College Football: 9 Coaching Candidates to Replace Steve Addazio
Steve Addazio, Boston College Eagles Football
Boston College fired coach Steve Addazio on Sunday. Addazio went 44-44 over seven years in Chestnut Hill and guided the program to five bowl trips, with another expected to come in 2019. Addazio had only one season of fewer than six wins with a 3-9 mark in 2015. However, Boston College never won more than seven under Addazio's watch.
Who could replace Addazio at Boston College? Here are nine names to watch in the coaching search:
9 Coaching Candidates to Replace Steve Addazio at Boston College
Don Brown, Defensive Coordinator, Michigan
Brown is regarded as one of the top defensive coordinators in college football and has extensive ties to the Northeast. Prior to spending the last four years at Michigan, Brown called the plays on defense at Boston College (2013-15), UConn (2011-12) and Maryland (2009-10). Brown went 27-20 as Northeastern's head coach from 200-03 and 43-19 at UMass from 2004-08.
Chris Creighton, Head Coach, Eastern Michigan
Creighton's record at Eastern Michigan is only 28-46, but this job is one of the toughest in college football. The Eagles went 3-21 in Creighton's first two years (2014-15) on the job but have claimed at least five victories in each of the last three full seasons. Eastern Michigan has played in only three bowl games in its program history – two of those have come under Creighton's watch. Prior to Eastern Michigan, Creighton went 32-9 at Ottawa, 63-15 at Wabash and 41-22 at Drake.
Mike Elko, Defensive Coordinator, Texas A&M
Elko doesn't get much national recognition, but he's a solid defensive coordinator that's primed to get an opportunity to become a head coach in the near future. He was hired by Jimbo Fisher as the Texas A&M's defensive signal-caller in 2018 and has previous stops in the same role at Notre Dame (2017), Wake Forest (2014-16) and Bowling Green (2009-13). He does not have any experience as a head coach.
Jeff Hafley, Co-Defensive Coordinator, Ohio State
Hafley is a coach on the rise after helping Ohio State's defense take a big step forward in 2019. The New Jersey native joined Ryan Day's first staff in Columbus after working in the NFL from 2012-18 with stops at Tampa Bay, Cleveland and San Francisco. Hafley does not have any experience as a head coach but has previous stops as an assistant in college at Pitt and Rutgers. He's also regarded as an excellent recruiter.
Butch Jones, Former Tennessee Head Coach
Jones popped up in the opening at Rutgers. Could he resurface again in the coaching carousel this offseason? Jones was dismissed at Tennessee after a 34-27 stint from 2013-17 but previously went 23-14 at Cincinnati (2010-12) and 27-13 at Central Michigan (2007-09). Jones is 84-54 overall as a head coach. He's currently working as an analyst for Alabama.
Lance Leipold, Head Coach, Buffalo
After a 7-17 start to his tenure at Buffalo, Leipold has guided the Bulls to three consecutive non-losing records and is 17-9 over the last two years. Buffalo isn't an easy job, so back-to-back bowl games and a division title in 2018 is a solid resume for Leipold. He arrived in Buffalo after going 109-6 with six Division III national titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater from 2007-14.
Sean Lewis, Head Coach, Kent State
Lewis is a rising star and will be mentioned for openings at the Power 5 level over the next couple of years. After his playing career ended at Wisconsin, Lewis landed on Dino Babers' staff at Eastern Illinois and followed him to opportunities at Bowling Green and Syracuse. After spending two years as the Orange co-offensive coordinator, Lewis was hired as Kent State's head coach in 2018. The Golden Flashes went 2-10 in his debut and improved to 6-6 this year.
Mike Reed, Defensive Backs Coach, Clemson
Reed played his college ball at Boston College and has experience within the ACC from stints at NC State (2007-12) and Clemson (2013-19). Reed has been instrumental in developing talent in the secondary for the Tigers over the last seven years. He does not have any coordinator or head-coaching experience.
Al Washington, Linebackers Coach, Ohio State
Washington is a rising star to watch in the assistant ranks. He played at Boston College from 2002-05 and later coached in Chestnut Hill from 2012-16 as an assistant. Washington spent one year at Cincinnati (2017) before joining Michigan's staff in 2018. He left Ann Arbor for Columbus prior last offseason and has been instrumental in the Buckeyes' defensive improvement. Washington does not have any experience as a head coach at the FBS level.


The first device (as far as I know) to offer "glasses free" 3D viewing of games and movies, the quality is better than I originally expected. While the resolution suffers to some extent, the 3D effect is surprisingly good. In addition, if 3D viewing makes you queasy, dizzy, or ill, you can simply turn it off.
The original line-up for games on the 3DS is not as spectacular as hard-core gamers might want. Users can play around with other neat aspects of the 3DS, though, while they wait for the release of more games. Take 3D pictures of your friends. Connect via wifi to interact with other users, locally and worldwide. In addition, the 3DS offers "background connectivity" which allows consoles to connect with other consoles in range without requiring any user input.
Another cool feature is the Activity Log which tracks not only game play, but also steps taken while carrying the 3DS. These steps add up to play coins which can be used to unlock special features and access additional content.
Like the Wii, a virtual console is offered for games as well as Mii capabilities. One of the fun things about the 3DS is the ability to take pictures of yourself and friends and then have the console convert them into Miis.
The 3DS comes pre-loaded with a variety of other features and games, several of which take advantage of the camera technology. The 3DS is backwards compatible, allowing users to play DS and DSi games as well as allowing users who are in range to play games together, even if only one user owns the game.
This is all great, you say, but besides being a fun toy and having some pretty cool effects, what does the 3DS really offer us as librarians and educators? Let me present to you my favorite part of the new console: Augmented Reality. Some of you may already know about this feature, but I just discovered it last night when my husband pulled out a pack of cards about the size of playing cards and started throwing them on the floor. The AR features of the 3DS allow you to play games that incorporate 3D features into the background scenery. Several cards create models of video game characters that can be rotated and and turned as well as allowing these models to interact with the table or floor where the cards rest (for example, an archery game simulates the bending and shifting of the platform that the cards rest on).
While a number of the original DS games tended towards educational ends, this is an entirely new and exciting feature. I can't stop thinking about all of the ways this can be used in education, library programming, and even at home. I can't wait to get to play around with it some more.

Sthennis (en grec ancien ) est un sculpteur grec de la deuxième moitié du , contemporain de Lysippe et de Silanion.

Biographie

Sa vie est très peu connue. Dans l'une de ses signatures, Sthennis se présente comme « fils d'Hérodotos, d'Athènes ». Pausanias le cite sous le nom « Sthennis d'Olynthe » : il a sans doute émigré à Athènes après la destruction d'Olynthe par Philippe II de Macédoine en 348 av. J.-C. et obtenu la citoyenneté athénienne. Pline l'Ancien situe son apogée dans la , c'est-à-dire en 328-325 av. J.-C., en même temps que celle de Lysippe et de Silanion.

On lui connaît deux fils, Calliadès et Hérodore, également sculpteurs.

Œuvre

Sthennis a signé un portrait du philosophe Dion d'Éphèse ainsi qu'une statue d'Hadéia, belle-sœur du roi Lysimaque, découverte dans l'Amphiaréion d'Oropos. Il collabora avec Léocharès à un monument d'une famille athénienne sur l'Acropole. Pline l'Ancien vit de lui à Rome une Déméter, un Zeus et une Athéna, appartenant peut-être à un même groupe, ainsi que des femmes pleurant, priant et sacrifiant. Sthennis fut également l'auteur de deux statues d'athlètes vues par Pausanias à Olympie. Enfin, on lui attribue un portrait du héros Autolycos, fondateur de la cité de Sinope.

Aucune de ses œuvres n'a été conservée.

"My fiancé and I reinvented ourselves and started our lives here. At first it was impossible, so hard I wanted to move back immediately. Pittsburgh's a lot different than California."
We lived in California and wanted a change in scenery. We were only together for a year, and on our year anniversary we decided to fly out to Pittsburgh and start looking for apartments.
We went to Point Park University, reinvented ourselves, and started our lives here. At first it was impossible. It was so hard that I wanted to move back immediately. Pittsburgh is a lot different than California. I'm from the Silicon Valley where everything is fast paced. I felt like Pittsburgh was a lot slower. Now we're going on three years here and we just got engaged.
When we moved here I felt like I lived in such a bubble in California where everybody has progressive views. A melting pot is basically where I'm from. So, when I came here I had to be okay learning other people's views. There are a lot more conservative views here. I didn't respect those kinds of views when I moved here. I thought, "what's wrong with you?" Like if you're Republican I just can't… I don't know. I didn't want to associate myself with that. But now that I've been so exposed to more conservative views, I think it's opened me up to be more accepting towards all different kinds of people. I thought I already was accepting, because I thought I was this progressive person.
It takes a lot to pick yourself out of where you're comfortable and listen to other people's views. And that's changed my life. Moving to Pittsburgh has changed my views on different kinds of people.

Hosted by Chamber630 in conjunction with Choose DuPage and other area Chambers, the annual State of DuPage County luncheon took place on January 10th. At the event, Chairman Cronin addressed an audience of over 200 DuPage business leaders on the County's efforts to reduce taxes, provide an attractive business climate, and create efficiencies in government, as well as the opportunities 2018 will bring.
"I welcome this opportunity because we consider our relationship with the business community central to our success here in DuPage County.
As a small business owner and employer, I know what it takes to bring in business, make payroll and turn on the lights each morning. So together, we understand and embrace the importance of a solid economic development plan to bring business here, retain existing companies and plan for a robust future in which young professionals and business owners are nurtured, fostering their success and growth.
As we take stock at the beginning of this year, let's "run the numbers" and evaluate how we're doing. Data tells an important part of our story.
My first bit of news is remarkable, but it will sound very familiar. This year, the County portion of your property tax did not go up. This is the tenth year in a row our portion of the property tax rate has remained flat at $66.9 million dollars. While other counties have tried taxing everything, including a can of pop, our property tax levy remains flat. What makes this remarkable is that when the General Assembly passed the budget this summer, they kept $3.5 million of the funds traditionally returned to DuPage County. Therefore, we asked our departments and countywide elected officials to tighten their belts to meet the new revenue expectations while maintaining service levels our customers, you the taxpayers, have come to expect.
I alluded to the "soda tax" that was so controversial in Cook County. Bear in mind that we've kept our property tax rate flat while REDUCING our sales tax a quarter cent. In 2016, the quarter cent portion of the tax that supported the DuPage Water Commission sunset. So, when it comes to growing business here, we want to honestly say we are doing everything we can to create as "low-tax" an environment as we can, within the borders of Illinois.
And that strategy pays off. John Carpenter of Choose DuPage, DuPage County's economic development organization, reports a wave of new businesses chose to locate here.
We have been notified a Hungarian aviation company and Portuguese software company will move their U.S. operations to DuPage County. The County's international reach is expanding, with more than 800 foreign-owned companies operating in DuPage, representing more than 40 different countries.
And just last month, the American Academy of Pediatrics moved into their new, five-story, 183,000 square-foot office building in Itasca, bringing 455 new jobs to DuPage. Based on the number of added jobs, healthcare is both the largest and fastest-growing industry in DuPage County.
We are thrilled with this progress, but we're not satisfied to rest on our laurels. We have some exciting new initiatives and plans I'm eager to share.
Late last year, we joined with the College of DuPage and the Village of Glen Ellyn to build on the success our Rev3 Innovation Center. Our new initiative, Innovation DuPage, is a cooperative venture promoting business growth and job creation. Together with our partners, we will guide entrepreneurs, small businesses and new companies on the path to success.
When you head to the polls in March, you'll see a question on the ballot related to our next big initiative this year. We are asking voters, in an advisory referendum, whether they are in favor of consolidating our DuPage Election Commission and our County Clerk's office to improve efficiency and save taxpayer dollars. As you may recall, last spring we made an initial foray passing a bill in the Senate, which later became bogged down in the House during the last hours of the session. This year, with what we hope will be overwhelming voter support, we will pursue new legislation that simply folds election and voter services right into the administrative duties of the County Clerk's office. This is the model used by most counties in the state of Illinois. Since I took office in 2010, a series of reforms in the Election Commission alone have netted our residents more than $3 million in savings. Our consolidation proposal, we expect, will save us even more money, but more importantly, the goal is to offer one-stop shopping at the DuPage County Clerk's Office and improve customer service for all residents.
This summer, we will complete the renovation of the former DuPage Juvenile Detention Facility and cut a ribbon on the new consolidated DU-COMM Emergency Dispatch Center. This state-of-the-art public safety center will house the consolidated DU-COMM dispatch center, the County's Emergency Telephone System Board and our Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. Bringing DU-COMM on campus with other County safety experts provides dispatchers optimal space, allows our emergency management services to, again, share resources and provides the County rental revenue for space that was previously vacated.
That's our approach…collaboration at the local, regional and statewide level. Our Accountability Consolidation and Transparency Initiative is changing the culture and conversation in DuPage government, and is influencing the thinking in our region and state. Last spring, Senate Bill 3 was part of the so-called "grand bargain" that became the basis for the budget compromise. It extended our DuPage model for local government consolidation to all 101 other counties throughout the state.
We think, at more than 7,000 plus units, there's too much government in the state of Illinois. Our goal has been to reduce footprint of local government, squeezing out value and fostering excellence in customer service for our taxpayers.
I've outlined a couple of big ideas and new rocks we plan to move to create an inviting atmosphere for business growth. Our economy is strong with an unemployment rate of 3.9% – the lowest in our region. Even though the General Assembly passed a budget that kept $3.5 million of our DuPage taxpayer dollars, we balanced our county budget and did not raise your taxes, and in fact, we reduced the burden when we could.

Laura Vassar and Kris Brock channeled a feeling "desert calm" in their latest lineup, a quietly elegant collection that built upon their luxuriously unfussy ethos. Informed by the dryness, beauty and desolation of the deserts in California, where they reside, Vassar and Brock kept their palette muted and their fabrics natural: mostly linen, silk voile and lightweight taffeta.
Hand-pleated floral-printed dresses and tops, a few of them Grecian-inspired, conveyed the label's soft romance. A floral-embroidered jacquard coat dress in purple and rust provided the mature elegance that's expected from Brock, while the label's pointy, low-heeled alligator slides and knee-high boots, an ongoing collaboration with George Esquivel, finished off the looks with sophistication.


Duty Call is about an ambitious, girl shy, boy named Tommy. He is one of the best video gamers in his school. He pairs up with a non-conforming, outspoken girl named Sarah, who is also an excellent gamer, to try and beat the newest action game. But when they reach the highest level, Tommy goes missing. After the FBI gets involved, they realize that it's more then just a game. Real people are dieing on the other end of the controller. After Sarah tries to help the FBI find Tommy by playing the game with the help of his friends, she goes missing also. When the two of them are forced to kill the President of the United States by their captives using their gaming skills, they manage to use the game against those who created it.

Epson to Construct New Printer and Projector Plant in the Philippines
- Invests 12.3 Billion Yen in Plant to Commence Operations in Spring 2017 -
Epson Precision (Philippines) Inc. (blue area shows planned site of new plant)
- TOKYO, Japan, December 3, 2014 -
Seiko Epson Corporation (TSE: 6724, "Epson") today announced it will invest 12.3 billion yen in manufacturing subsidiary Epson Precision (Philippines) Inc. to construct a new plant for increasing inkjet printer and 3LCD projector production volumes. The state-of-the-art facilities will be constructed inside the existing site by the early part of 2017, with operations slated to begin in the spring of that year.
Epson plans to install a mega solar power generation system with a capacity of approximately 3,000 kW on the roof of the new plant. This system will reduce overall daytime electricity consumption at Epson Precision (Philippines) by half.
As it implements its mid-range business plan, Epson has determined that its current inkjet printer and projector manufacturing facilities in China, Indonesia and the Philippines are insufficient to meet expected demand. In inkjet printers, the company is forecasting the need to significantly boost production capacity for its core high-capacity ink tank models, which are currently experiencing rapid growth, and also for office inkjets, which are beginning to make steady inroads into the market. Epson also sees the need to increase projector production as it expands its lineup. With growing demand for projectors used in business and education, expanding commercial applications, and increasing penetration in emerging economies, Epson forecasts its growth will surpass that of the market.
Epson plans to increase the workforce of Epson Precision (Philippines) to approximately 20,000 from the current 12,500* to respond to the planned increase in production.
The construction of this plant will have no material impact on Epson's business results for the fiscal year ending March 2015.
* Future production and workforce estimates are subject to change according to circumstances.

Kicksite is a martial arts management software designed for small to medium-sized martial arts schools and academies. Innovative and uncomplicated, the martial arts school management solution aims to help martial artists streamline their common management workflows and tasks, engage with their students and prospects, and impact their community as they promote the martial arts industry.
Furthermore, Kicksite offers a dashboard that allows users to view data and metrics at a glance without running a report. The software also has a simple check-in system which enables students to check in to martial arts classes and track their attendance and attendance awards easily. In addition, Kicksite provides users with communication tools so they can send out automated emails to their students for scenarios such as when the latter are absent or have expired membership.
To simplify and speed up payment collection, Kicksite provides a payment functionality that allows users to record in-house payments, set recurring invoices, and track inventory items. Additionally, the software helps them organize belt testing events and promote students to the next rank. Last but not the least, Kicksite enables users to generate prospective students for their programs, classes, or events by creating lead campaign forms they can integrate into their website.
Kicksite helps users create and track belt testing events. This capability is included in its rank promotion features. As they organize such events, they will be able to automatically generate a list of students who are eligible to test their belts. Once they are able to prepare a list of students for a belt testing event, they can invite these students to register for the event through email.
The martial arts management software also enables users to promote students from their current rank to the next rank in just a few minutes. They will be able to select the students they want to promote, and the software helps them automatically promote these students.
In addition, Kicksite provides attendance tracking features which simplify the process of checking into martial classes, tracking of attendance records, and rewarding students for their attendance. Through the aid of its student check-in screen, students can register for a martial arts class easily. After they check in, they will be able to automatically view their attendance records.
To enhance the offering of rewards to students who are making their attendance a priority, Kicksite allows users to set attendance requirements. Because of this, users will be able to automatically reward their students for their attendance based on the requirements they created within the software.
In terms of collecting and processing payments from students, Kicksite works with Soluplay, a merchant provider and payment solution. As a result, users who set up a merchant account with Soluplay will be able to collect recurring bill payments from their students, process one-time payments for their students and guests, and store ACH (Automated Clearing House) and credit card information. Processing payments through Soluplay will also enable users to receive daily transaction reports, providing them information on the status of each transaction and the amount involved.
An important component of Kicksite's payment processing features is the capability to automatically generate invoices. Invoices will be generated based on the payment schedules that users have set. In addition, when users create an invoice, they will be able to select inventory items which they can add to the invoice. The software then will calculate the total amount due.
Kicksite also offers communications tools which allow users to reach out to their students through automated emails. This enables their students to connect to their martial arts school even if they are outside of the class. Interestingly, users can customize the automated email messages that will be sent out to their students. They will be able to send emails and texts to a targeted audience based on rank, program, and more.
Additionally, Kicksite helps users send out general announcements to both their students and prospects. In fact, they can even schedule their announcements and messages, and view them from its calendar. This calendar organizes their sent and scheduled announcements and messages on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
Kicksite also allows users to create and launch lead campaigns. They will be able to create submission forms and integrate them directly into their own website. As a result, they will be able to automatically capture information about their prospects, as Kicksite organizes their leads into its system. Furthermore, Kicksite enables them to reach out to their prospects via email or text using message flows. These message flows enable them to send out automated messages to their prospects and nurture them. Users can also link the Facebook page and Twitter account of their martial arts school with Kicksite; allowing them to create and schedule posts, and broadcast announcements or accomplishments directly from the system.
If you are interested in Kicksite it could also be a good idea to check out other subcategories of Best Club Management Software listed in our base of SaaS software reviews.
It's essential to realize that virtually no software in the Club Management Software category is an ideal solution able to meet all the needs of different company types, sizes and industries. It may be a good idea to read a few Kicksite reviews first as certain software can perform well just in a really small group of applications or be designed with a very specific type of industry in mind. Others can operate with an idea of being simple and intuitive and as a result lack advanced functionalities welcomed by more experienced users. There are also solutions that support a broad group of customers and provide a complex feature set, but this frequently comes at a higher cost of such a software. Make sure you're aware of your requirements so that you select a solution that offers exactly the features you look for.
How Much Does Kicksite Cost?
We realize that when you make a decision to buy Club Management Software it's important not only to see how experts evaluate it in their reviews, but also to find out if the real people and companies that buy it are actually satisfied with the product. That's why we've created our behavior-based Customer Satisfaction Algorithm™ that gathers customer reviews, comments and Kicksite reviews across a wide range of social media sites. The data is then presented in an easy to digest form showing how many people had positive and negative experience with Kicksite. With that information at hand you should be equipped to make an informed buying decision that you won't regret.
What are Kicksite pricing details?
What integrations are available for Kicksite?
Kicksite supports integration with Soluplay, its preferred merchant provider. The software can also be integrated with Facebook, Twitter, and SendGrid.

In 1984–85, Johan van der Keuken took his camera across the globe, from Amsterdam to New York to Hong Kong, ending in Geneva. The object of his investigation was money, in particular the maniacal drive to accumulate it in the era of Thatcherite/Reaganite neoliberalism. In the resulting film, I love $, van der Keuken shows us his view of the world of money in which the Netherlands is fully integrated, and the contrasts between excess and deprivation. In addition to a succession of bankers, traders, and executives, van der Keuken also interviews the victims of economic dispossession, such as the residents of dilapidated dwellings in New York and illegal Portuguese immigrants in Switzerland (who, ironically, have a son who dreams about the promised land of New York). Flashes of the developing world (which the financiers admit is of no interest to them) appear on flickering TV monitors, indicating its remoteness from the centers of capitalist power, as embodied in the sanitized streets of Geneva. Van der Keuken lets the camera explore its environment, with attention to aesthetic detail that sets this apart from more conventional reportage.


In today's Off the Charts business podcast episode, I get to chat with my friend Elizabeth DiAlto, someone who I've grown up together with on the internet and in business.
I love what Elizabeth shares in this episode about the evolution of her business movement. It's amazing to see how her evolution and self-discovery has made her business and branding to evolve from the early years when we were both getting started with the help of Marie Forleo.
One thing that Elizabeth had to let go of in order to take her business off the charts was the need for external validation and thinking that everyone knew better than she did for her business. When you're just starting out as an entrepreneur, it's easy to think that everyone knows more than you.
After Elizabeth put the time into learning the process of creating a successful business, she had a firm enough foundation to take it to the next level: innovation.
With proven knowledge and experience to pull from, she had the freedom to stop looking at the different business models that never really felt good to begin with.
Elizabeth began to delve into herself to discover the strong feelings she had about her stances. This helped her to pinpoint how she wanted to interact with people and how to prioritize the type of experience she wanted people to have when they connected with her through her website and branding. The emphasis she was able to obtain is not the same-old vibe that many other business websites have.
Definitely visit her website to see the felt experience that Liz talks about. Colors, textures, photo shoots – everything comes together and conveys more than what pixels and text should. You can feel what she's trying to communicate beyond just the screen. She designed a unique experience into her website and collaborated with amazing photographers and designers to bring about her vision.
So take heart from the testimony of Elizabeth DiAlto in this episode of Off the Charts to learn what it takes to run a business from other professionals with a track record of success – then march of the beaten path to truly make it your own!

Even though meta-satire TV comedies like Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Larry Sanders Show, Entourage, Extras etc. have done the idea to death, BROTHER'S JUSTICE is another one of those mockumentary-type deals in which real-life movie-industry folk portray themselves, generally as ego-swollen jerkwads. Just kidding, right. Uh, right?
In a setup that seems to be a takeoff on Joaquin Phoenix's bizarre career turnabouts, comic actor Dax Shepard (Dax Shepard, portraying himself as a borderline racist/homophobe with a soupcon of substance-abuse issues) announces he's going to forsake funny business and become a dead-serious martial-arts action star, a la Chuck Norris, in something called "Brother's Justice." There isn't even a script, just a vague Dax-centric scenario pitch about drug-dealing biker gangs and a kidnapped brother. Shepard doesn't even know any martial-arts skills. But he bulldozes ahead with the thing and brings aboard his lifelong buddy Nate Tuck (Nate Tuck), normally a Kinko's manager, to produce. There's a funny between-the-lines subtext that Shepard's been mooching off Tuck in one form or another for ages, including pooling their finances to buy Shepard a cool car for a racetrack documentary that never got underway.

The trailer for this was very short but I am very excited to see this movie! I requested it from the University Library!

ACM Flashback: Album of the Year
March 28, 2010 Kevin John Coyne 16
The ACM Awards has traditionally been overshadowed by the CMA Awards, despite its longer existence. This is for several reasons. First, the ACM originally existed to emphasize the West Coast country music scene, whereas the CMA Awards represented Nashville from the start. The ACM has also been more commercially-oriented from the beginning, as the history of this category proves. Eighteen of the last twenty winners in this ACM category are multi-platinum sellers, and the organization allowed greatest hits albums to compete for more than a decade.
Still, the ACM category has bragging rights of its own. Critically-acclaimed albums like Storms of Life, Trio, Killin' Time and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend won at the ACMs but were overlooked by the CMAs. Additionally, women have also been far more successful at this ceremony. Only five women have ever won the CMA Album trophy, and one of them was Sissy Spacek! At the ACMs, women have dominated the category for the past three years, and the category has honored everyone from Loretta Lynn and Donna Fargo to K.T. Oslin and Shania Twain.
A special note about ACM flashbacks. Like the Grammys, the ACMs issue their award for a given year the following year, so the awards for 2009, for example, are given out in 2010. For the purposes of the flashbacks, Country Universe notes the year the award is presented. While the ACM first presented awards in 1966, the Album category wasn't introduced until 1968.
As with other flashbacks, we begin with a look at this year's nominees:
Lady Antebellum, Lady Antebellum
Miranda Lambert, Revolution
Brad Paisley, American Saturday Night
Carrie Underwood, Play On
Zac Brown Band, The Foundation
Three previous winners – Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, and Carrie Underwood – compete against the debut albums of two hot bands. Lady Antebellum and Zac Brown Band each picked up a Grammy this year and are well represented on the rest of the ACM ballot. This is a very competitive race. Even the sales-friendly nature of the ACMs doesn't help much here, as four of these albums are platinum and Lambert's just went gold.
Jamey Johnson, That Lonesome Song
Montgomery Gentry, Back When I Knew It All
George Strait, Troubadour
Taylor Swift, Fearless
Carrie Underwood, Carnival Ride
Taylor Swift became the third consecutive female artist to win in this category, a feat that would've seemed unthinkable earlier in the middle part of the decade, when country radio all but exiled women from radio.

Single Review: Bucky Covington, "A Father's Love (The Only Way He Knew How)"
March 24, 2010 Leeann Ward 11
As someone who enjoys a relationship with a warm father who's always been quick with support and affirmation, it's a testament to a good song that I can feel an emotional connection to Bucky Covington's latest single, "A Father's Love (the Only Way He Knew How)", which depicts a father with less demonstrative sensibilities than mine.
Single Review: Blaine Larsen, "Chillin'"
March 23, 2010 Kevin John Coyne 6
What to make of a single that does Kenny Chesney better than Kenny Chesney does these days? Sure, it's derivative and completely unnecessary, but I'd rather here this than "Ain't Back Yet."
I like a lot of the lines, too, particularly the imagery of "got my thinkin' cap hangin' on a scarecrow." But hearing the song as a whole makes me wish I was listening to "Beer in Mexico" instead.
Actually, that's a lie. Hearing this sent me in a completely different musical direction, one that goes a little something like this:
2-in-1 Single Review: Alan Jackson and George Strait
"It's Just That Way" (Alan Jackson)
Written by Vicky McGehee, Kylie Sackley, and Keith Stegall
"I Gotta Get to You" (George Strait)
Written by Blaine Larsen, Jim Lauderdale, and Jimmy Ritchey
Just because you can sing the phone book doesn't mean you should.
Single Review: Kellie Pickler, "Makin' Me Fall in Love Again"
Kellie Pickler has quietly become one of the most played female artists on country radio, the unthinking man's alternative to fellow top twenty regular Miranda Lambert. She's done it largely with fluff, but there's no real shame in that. Sylvia made a whole career out of it an won a Female Vocalist trophy along the way. Granted, it was from the ACM, but a mantle decoration is a mantle decoration.
So the question is, how good is this fluff? As the man who trashed both "Red High Heels" and "Best Days of Your Life" but eventually added them on to my favorites playlist, I say with caution that it's mediocre. I can't see this one growing one me. Just not enough of a hook. It's like they got the color and the texture right but forgot to put the sugar in the cotton candy.
Forgotten Hits: Sammy Kershaw, "Yard Sale"
Sammy Kershaw
Written by Larry Bastian and Dewayne Blackwell
Great country songs can find heartache in the most mundane places. For George Jones, it was "a lip print on a half-filled cup of coffee that you poured but didn't drink." For Sammy Kershaw, a nineties star heavily influenced by the Possum, it was a family picnic table of discounted items.
"They're sorting through what's left of you and me," he sings, and like in the Jones classic "A Good Year For the Roses," it's the steady observation of sights and sounds that tell the story. As he notes that there must be half the town on the grass and on the sidewalk, he muses, "Ain't it funny how a broken home can bring the prices down?"
Earlier this week, Tara Seetharam posted about songs that resonate for reasons beyond the lyrics. This got me thinking about something close to the opposite: What about songs that stand out because of a particular lyric, a line that takes on a life of its own beyond the song?
I first heard "Too Many Memories" on the Patty Loveless album Long Stretch of Lonesome. It was later recorded by Hal Ketchum. It's a good song, no doubt, but the kicker that ends the second verse has grown into words to live by for me:
What makes you grow old is replacing hope with regret.
I've used that quote countless times, and as I get older, it gets ever more true.
Is this just me, or do any of you also have lines from songs that are words to live by?
RFD-TV: The Best Thing Ever?
Like many country fans who discovered the genre in the nineties, CMT and TNN were central to my experience of discovering music. When CMT shifted to non-music programming, GAC quickly became the channel of choice. But as that channel grew in popularity, it shifted its emphasis to only mainstream country music, losing the diversity that defined it in its early years.
When moving late last year, I switched cable companies. Initially, I thought the best country-related channel I'd gotten in the switch was CMT Pure, which plays only music. Unfortunately, older videos are limited to a 1/2 hour of programming called "Pure Vintage", a pale comparison to the three-hour early morning extravaganza "CMT Classic" that once ran on CMT proper in the wee hours of the weekend.
By a fluke, I discovered RFD-TV, which bills itself as "Rural America's Most Important Network." I could care less about the horse and agriculture shows, but with country music, this channel has hit the jackpot.
Concert Review: Martina McBride and Trace Adkins
March 11, 2010 Guest Contributor 10
By Guest Contributor Cory DeStein.
Over the river and through the snow to the 'Shine All Night Tour' we go…On this particular Saturday night a friend and I traveled through the snow and ice to attend the Martina McBride and Trace Adkins tour stop at the Peterson Event Center, here in Pittsburgh. This is the third time I have been fortunate enough to experience a Martina tour, along with the 'Timeless' and 'Waking Up Laughing' tour, and like those performances the country diva did not fail to deliver.
In front of a black back drop Trace kicked off the show, much to the delight of fan club section nestled quite noticeably to the right of the stage, rose onto the stage with his opening number "I Got My Game On" one of the many novelty songs he charmed the audience with throughout his one hour set.
Trace has one hell of a powerful voice, but he sadly didn't go out of his way to show it throughout the show. He rather focused more on hits like "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" "Hot Mama" "Swing" and "Rough and Ready" along with other similar tunes. Towards the end of his set, he introduced his recently crowned ACM Song of the Year, "You're Gonna Miss This."

The Whitman Hanson girls' soccer team improved to 4-0 with a 3-0 shutout of Plymouth North. Taylor Kofton led the way with two first half goals while Lauren Bonavita picked up a goal in the second half. The defense led by Elana Wood, Kelsey Gilbert, Katie Korzec and Kat O'Kane kept the Plymouth North offense in check and helped Freshman keeper Skylar Kuzmich earn her third shutout. Olivia Johnson and Eve Montgomery had strong games in the midfield for Whitman Hanson.
