Why doesn't Blubrry PowerPress support multiple enclosures in one feed item/post?
Blubrry PowerPress does not allow you to include multiple media files for one feed item (blog post). This is because each podcatcher handles multiple enclosures in feeds differently. Apple Podcasts will download the first enclosure that it sees in the feed ignoring the rest. Other podcatchers and podcasting directories either pick up the first enclosure or the last in each post item. This inconsistency combined with the fact that Dave Winer does not recommend multiple enclosures and the FeedValidator.org recommendation against it is why the Blubrry PowerPress does not support them.
As a alternative, PowerPress allows you to create additional Custom Podcast Feeds to associate any magnitude of media format and/or length in a blog post to specific custom feeds. For example, you can create one blog post associated to separate video and audio podcast feeds saving you time from entering your show notes twice.
Why doesn't Blubrry PowerPress include media statistics built-in?
Blubrry PowerPress does not include media statistics built-in. This is not because Blubrry has its own statistics service, although that's a good reason by itself. Maintaining and calculating statistics is a resource and server intensive task that would add bloat to an otherwise efficient WordPress podcasting plugin. We recommend using your media hosting's web statistics to give you basic download numbers and, if you are seeking more grandular measurements such as client and geographical information for each episode, you're more than welcome to use the Blubrry Statistics service as well.
You may however access your Blubrry Statistics from within your WordPress dashboard.
How do you insert the player within a blog post?
You can insert the media player within your blog posts by using the WordPress shortcode feature. The shortcode for PowerPress is
[powerpress](all lowercase)
You may use the shortcode to add a player to other media files (non episode files) by specifying the media url in the shortcode: [powerpress url="http://example.com/path/to/media.mp3″]
For advanced users with multiple podcast feeds, you may insert the player for a specific feed by specifying the feed slug in the shortcode: [powerpress feed="podcast"]
If you want to specify a cover image, add an image attribute which points to the specific image url: [powerpress image="http://example.com/path/to/cover_image.jpg"] Experimental
Why can't you upload large media files?
File uploads are tricky to handle because there are so many web hosting variations with different upload size limits. We recommend using an FTP application to upload large media files. FTP is much more efficient than web based uploads and is typically provided by nearly all web hosting providers.
The Media Player does not appear on my site?
. . . or the RSS feed is invalid?
This can happen when there is a theme or plugin conflict. Please visit our Diagnosing Feed and/or Player Issues for instructions how to resolve such issues.

Insert your key in the ignition of a luxury car and the seat and steering wheel will automatically adjust to preprogrammed body proportions. Stroll through the rooms of Bill Gates' mansion and each room will adjust its lighting, temperature and music to accommodate your personal preference. But open any computer program and you're largely subject to a design team's ideas about button sizes, fonts and layouts.
Off-the-shelf designs are especially frustrating for the disabled, the elderly and anybody who has trouble controlling a mouse. A new approach to design, developed at the University of Washington, would put each person through a brief skills test and then generate a mathematically-based version of the user interface optimized for his or her vision and motor abilities.
"Assistive technologies are built on the assumption that it's the people who have to adapt to the technology. We tried to reverse this assumption, and make the software adapt to people," says Krzysztof Gajos, who along with Dan Weld and Jacob Wobbrock wrote the paper Decision-Theoretic User Interface Generation.
Tests showed the system closed the performance gap between disabled and able-bodied users by 62 percent, and disabled users strongly preferred the automatically generated interfaces.
"This shows that automatically generating personalized interfaces really does work, and the technology is ready for prime time," Weld says.
The system, called Supple, begins with a one-time assessment of a person's mouse pointing, dragging and clicking skills. A ring of dots appears on the screen and as each dot lights up, the user must quickly click on it. The task is repeated with different-sized dots. Other prompts ask the participant to click and drag, select from a list, and click repeatedly on one spot. Participants can move the cursor using any type of device. The test takes about 20 minutes for an able-bodied person or up to 90 minutes for a person with motor disabilities.
An optimization program then calculates how long it would take the person to complete various computer tasks, and in a couple of seconds it creates the interface that maximizes that person's accuracy and speed when using a particular program.
Researchers tested the system last summer on six able-bodied people and 11 people with motor impairments. The resulting interfaces showed one size definitely did not fit all.
A man with severe cerebral palsy used his chin to control a trackball and could move the pointer quickly but spastically. Based on his skills test, Supple generated a user interface where all the targets were bigger than normal, and lists were expanded to minimize scrolling.
By contrast, a woman with muscular dystrophy who participated in the study used both hands to move a mouse. She could make very precise movements but moved the cursor very slowly and with great effort because of weak muscles. Based on her results, Supple automatically generated an interface with small buttons and a compressed layout.
"There is a temptation to think that we can come up with a universal design. But if we look at the results, the design that helps one person will actually be hurtful to a person with a different set of abilities," Gajos says.
"From an accessibility standpoint, it's always better to change the environment, rather than use specialized assistive technologies," says Kurt Johnson, a UW professor of rehabilitation medicine who coordinated the tests. "Supple could be useful for many people with limitations in function, ranging from the elderly, to people with low vision, to people with hand tremors."
The program could also be used to create interfaces that can adapt to different sizes of screen, for example on handheld devices.
But deploying this system would require a radically different approach to designing computer interfaces, Gajos says. He predicts the first applications are likely to be for Web-based applications. The researchers also plan to look at adapting interfaces that were designed in the traditional way into ones that Supple can use.

As winners of seven of their last eight games, the Green Bay Packers are among the hottest teams in the NFL.
They aren't to blame, however, for setting their historic stadium on fire.
According to WLUK-TV in Green Bay, Lambeau Field suffered $5,000 in damage when construction work on the stadium ignited a fire. Workers were cutting a metal beam when sparks ignited insulation inside a wall.
Lieutenant Nick Craig of the Green Bay Fire Department told the station it was a small fire but in a difficult place to get to.
More than 30 firefighters responded to the fire and were at the stadium for close to an hour to get the situation handled. The stadium is not needed this week for the Packers as Green Bay travels to face the Chicago Bears before returning home next week for their final regular season home game against the Tennessee Titans.

Types of Transport in MalaysiaKirsty Turner
However, most people return to their home town or village a day or two before public holidays, and public transport is usually very crowded during this time. Try to avoid travelling during public holidays and especially major festivals such as Deepavali, Chinese New Year and Christmas.
Travelling across Malaysia by aeroplane is generally quite cheap and certainly the easiest way to get around. The main airline is Malaysia Airlines and booking in advance online can save quite a bit of cash. Cheap flights are also provided by AirAsia.
There are regular ferries running between the mainland and the numerous islands located just off the east and west coasts of Malaysia. Tickets are usually bought in advance from booths on the mainland. In a few states, such as Sarawak, express boats are the most common form of public transport, carrying passengers down the rivers and streams that run through the areas.
Malaysia's railway network is fast and efficient, consisting of three types of service: express, limited express and local trains. Express trains are reserved for 1st and 2nd class passengers, limited express trains usually just 2nd and 3rd coaches, while local trains are usually limited to 3rd class. There are overnight sleeper births available on Express and limited express trains. Tourist rail passes are a good way to save money if you planning on travelling by train a lot and last for five days, ten days and fifteen days.
The Jungle Railway runs across Malaysia, stopping at every station between Tumpat and Gemas. This service is 3rd class only and there is no air-conditioning or reservations, meaning that the trains tend to be rather hot and crowded. However, the stunning jungle views more than make up for the discomfort.
Buses are the cheapest way to get around Malaysia and the best place to catch the bus and guarantee a seat is at the town's bus terminal. There are luxury buses available for long-distance travel and these can be booked a couple of days in advance. The air-conditioned buses can be rather chilly, so take a blanket with you. Although they tend to be rather slow, local buses are regular and reliable.
Car and motorcycle
Driving in Malaysia is safe and convenient as the roads are good and there are plenty of new cars available to hire. Road rules are basically the same as in Britain and Australia, with right-hand drive cars that stick to the left side of the road. Petrol is generally cheap and motorbikes can also be hired from guesthouses in tourist towns and cities. Although Malaysian drivers are generally good, drivers still need to be careful, especially in large towns and cities as animals often roam freely across the roads.
Taxis can be found in all cities and larger towns and usually drive around looking for customers. You will usually need to negotiate the fare in advance and it is a good idea to ask the staff at you guesthouse for an estimate of the going rate.
These bicycle rickshaws seat two people and can be a romantic way to see the sights.

Sports writer Dan Shaughnessy heads to The Music Hall's Writers in the Loft series with his "bombshell" of a book, "Francona: The Red Sox Years," on Wednesday, April 10. The 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. events both include an author presentation and moderated Q+A plus book signing meet-and-greet and will be held at the Music Hall Loft at 131 Congress St., Portsmouth.
Sports writer Dan Shaughnessy heads to The Music Hall's Writers in the Loft series with his "bombshell" of a book, "Francona: The Red Sox Years," on Wednesday, April 10. The 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. events both include an author presentation and moderated Q+A plus book signing meet-and-greet and will be held at the Music Hall Loft at 131 Congress St., Portsmouth.
New England's award-winning Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy visits the Loft to talk about his latest, a New York Times bestseller co-authored with former Red Sox Manager Terry Francona. Experience the triumph and heartbreak felt by generations of fans with this all-access pass that takes readers from Fenway's locker room to the owners' suite.
From 2004 to 2011, Francona managed the Boston Red Sox, the most talked about, scrutinized team in all of sports. In "Francona," the legendary manager opens up for the first time about his eight years there, as the Red Sox went from cursed franchise to one of the most successful and profitable in baseball history. He takes readers inside the rarefied world of a 21st-century clubhouse, from 2004 when the Sox won their first championship in 86 years, through another win in 2007, to the controversial September collapse just four years later.
In "Francona: The Red Sox Years," Shaughnessy and Francona deliver with the juicy details fans have been dying for, including Francona's tightrope walk managing personalities like Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez, working with Theo Epstein and his statistics-driven executives, balancing their data with the emotions of a 25-man roster, and meeting the expectations of three owners with often wildly differing opinions. Along the way, readers are treated with back-slapping, never-before-told stories about their favorite players, moments, losses, and wins. Those eight years were a wild, unforgettable ride, and now the full story gets told in a book that examines like no other the art of managing in today's game. Don't miss hearing from witty and wise Boston Globe columnist and Associate Editor Dan Shaughnessy about this remarkable man and the team he led to fame.
After a brief presentation of the book and its conclusions, Shaughnessy will entertain questions and commentary from fans in the audience and from moderator Margaret Talcott, associate producer of the Writers in the Loft series. Says Talcott, "As a die-hard Red Sox fan and loyal Dan Shaughnessy reader, I couldn't be more excited to have him come north with his behind-the-scenes insight and unparalleled view into Fenway people and politics. What was really going on during the Francona years' championships and disappointments? We'll find out. Hearing from Dan is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for Sox fans—or for anyone interested in the art of leadership amidst great victories and challenges. Bring your thoughts, your Red Sox stories and join us."
Shaugnessy is an award-winning columnist for the Boston Globe and the author of 12 sports books, including "The Curse of the Bambino," a best-selling classic.
Shaughnessy has been voted one of America's top 10 sports columnists by the Associated Press Sports Editors nine times, and has been named Massachusetts Sportswriter of the Year 10 times.
Terry "Tito" Francona was a major league baseball player from 1981 to 1990. After he retired as a player, he managed the Philadelphia Phillies for four seasons. From 2004 to 2011 he managed the Boston Red Sox to two World Series championships. He has since worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN, hosting their Sunday Night Baseball telecast, and is now the manager of the Cleveland Indians.
The ticket package for Writers in the Loft: Dan Shaughnessy on Wednesday, April 10, held at 5 p.m. and then again at 7 p.m., is $42. In addition to a reserved seat, the package includes a copy of the hardcover book "Francona: The Red Sox Years" ($28), a bar beverage, and book signing meet-and-greet. Packages can be purchased through The Music Hall Box Office, located at 28 Chestnut St., Portsmouth, over the phone at 436-2400 or online at www.themusichall.org.

Over the last few years we've had the "Don't Look Back" style performances from many, many bands and despite what some might say, it's actually quite a nice way to do things, having a band perform a superb album in full, live. Anyway, the next band to get on this train are Presidents of the United States of America, who will perform their 1995 album Presidents of the United States of America on five dates in the UK next year. The self-titled one, obviously.
Here's what they had to say themselves on the matter:
"We're deeply ashamed to have let three years pass since our last UK dates. Even though we've spent the time curing serious diseases and recycling all of our paper and glass, still it is clearly 'our bad'. We are thrilled to come back and play some of our favorite places, including the Forum, which is a great room if the Five-um is booked."
Anyway, here are the dates where they'll be playing their self-titled album.
8 - Bristol, O2 Academy
9 - Manchester, HMV Ritz
10 - Wolverhampton, Wulfrun Hall
11 - Glasgow, O2 ABC
16 - London, HMV Forum
Tickets are available from here and here and below you will find the tracklisting for the album.
- Kitty
- Feather Pluckn
- Lump
- Stranger
- Boll Weevil
- Peaches
- Dune Buggy
- We Are Not Going to Make It
- Kick Out the Jams

Sportsbet has Coalition taking 91 seats at election
THE Coalition is favoured to win at least 16 seats from Labor at the next federal election, with a further three government-held seats considered too close to call in a market released by an online bookmaker Monday.
Sportsbet opened seat-by-seat markets for all 150 federal electorates on Monday, and while it does not point to an apocalyptic result for Labor, the party's strategists would still not have liked what they read.
In all the Coalition is favoured to win 91 seats, which would give it a comfortable 15-seat majority on the floor of the House of Representatives, and Labor 54.
New South Wales looks like being a disaster for ALP, with the Coalition an early favourite in eight Labor-held seats.
Included in that number is the bellwether seat of Eden-Monaro, held since 2007 by Mike Kelly.
Eden-Monaro, which Mr Kelly holds by a margin of 4.24%, has gone with the government at every election since 1972.
But with a strong candidate in place - former Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Peter Hendy - the Liberal Party is rated a $1.45 chance to win Eden-Monaro. Mr Kelly is at $2.50 in the market put up on Monday.
In a sign of just how hotly-contested this seat will be, Mr Hendy began running TV ads before Christmas.
Deputy Treasurer David Bradbury is considered a $3.50 chance to retain his outer western Sydney seat of Lindsay, with the Coalition a raging $1.25 favourite.
Interestingly Page MP Janelle Saffin is a slight outsider to hold her seat.
Sportsbet has installed two-time Nationals candidate Kevin Hogan a $1.90 favourite, just ahead of Ms Saffin on $2.
The seat of Werriwa, once held by prime minister Gough Whitlam, is considered too close to call by Sportsbet.
In Queensland the Coalition is favourite in all but six seats, but is favoured to win just one seat from Labor, Moreton in Brisbane's south.
Graham Perrett, who holds the seat by just 1.13%, is rated a $2.40 chance to retain the seat, with the Coalition a $1.20 favourite.
Treasurer Wayne Swan is a $1.85 favourite to retain his seat of Lilley, marginally ahead of the Coalition on $2.
Despite facing criticism for his alleged role in the James Ashby affair, former Howard government minister Mal Brough is at the prohibitive odds of $1.05 to win the seat of Fisher for the Coalition.
With Labor's Kirsten Livermore standing down at the next election, Capricornia in central Queensland is considered too close to call.
In Victoria the Coalition is favourite in four Labor-held seats.
Labor's only gain in the entire country according to the Sportsbet market could come in the seat of Melbourne, held by Greens Deputy Leader Adam Bandt.
Mr Bandt is a $2 outsider to hold the seat, with Labor's Cath Bowtell $1.90.
Of the six independents, only Andrew Wilkie and Bob Katter are expected to win their seats.
Mr Wilkie is rated a $1.35 chance to hold the seat of Denison, while Mr Katter is at Black Caviar odds ($1.05) in Kennedy.
But the market indicates Rob Oakeshott and Tony Windsor, both of whom have faced criticism for backing Labor to form government, will have their work cut out to stay in the Parliament.
Mr Oakeshott is rated a $10 chance to retain the seat of Lyne on the NSW mid-north coast, with Nationals candidate David Gillespie a $1.08 favourite to win despite needing a swing of more than 12% to unseat the incumbent.
In New England Mr Windsor is a $3.25 outsider, with Nationals candidate and former state independent MP Richard Torbay a $1.30 favourite.
The Coalition is also a $1.25 favourite to win the seat of Dobell, which is held by Craig Thomson.
Mr Thomson sits as an independent after being forced to quit the ALP in May last year amid allegations he misused Health Services Union members' funds before joining the Parliament.
A spokesman for Sportsbet said betting on politics had become so popular the company now employed a full-time trader to frame and monitor markets.
The trader uses polling, opinion, sources and information from the electorates to frame the markets.
Sportsbet, which has already taken bets of up to $50,000 on the Coalition to win the election, expects to hold up to $3 million on the election.
The Coalition is a $1.35 favourite to form government, with Labor a $3.30 outsider.

Hi Folks,
After nearly nine years of recording we're excited to say that this week we've released the Atoms and Void album, "and nothing else," (formerly Ghost Wars). Twelve tracks, 47-minutes. Click the graphic above to stream the entire album or click the link here to download the final track: Download 12-This Departing Landscape-44k-16b-Mstr v1
If anyone occasionally still reads this blog, thank you for your kind words, encouragement and goodwill all these years. Corny as this might sound, life and music are incredible gifts. But they can also be heartbreaking mindfucks. To be alive and anything at all is astounding. Trying to give shape and sound to something that you only hear in your heads can often feel equally astounding. Though it may seem small and unimportant to others, the weird—difficult—beautiful challenge of writing an album can serve to keep a person going. If you know the story of the making of this album then you know it's been a long, surprising, and often heartbreaking road.
Our imperfect, clumsy lives are in these songs. Our wildest joys and darkest hours. Our loved ones, friends and families. Our histories of hopes and regrets. Our missing persons, our departed, and those persons just passing through. Our greatest loves and most deeply-felt losses are in these songs. This album is a reflection of who we are and much of what we've lived. From the first note to the last it is as striving and imperfect as we are.
Were it not for the goodwill of our session players and the encouragements of our listeners-in-waiting, well, it's pretty accurate to say we might not have persevered. Sincerely, Eric and I owe enormous thanks to all of you. That we did not give up is nice. Maybe that sounds trite? Sure, but oh well. I can think of no other word to describe the way it feels to finally have this album out in the world. It's nice. We started recording in perhaps 2005? 2007? Honestly can't remember, it's been so long in the making. Today is Sunday, October 5, 2014. Always working in fits and bursts when time allowed, we recorded, mixed and mastered the songs right up into mid-June 2014. In all, Eric and I have worked together on this somewhere in the realm of seven to nine years.
When looking back on all that has happened to shape these songs along the way, well, it really does just blow my mind. Life is so very beautiful and complicated. If you have a dream— hold it close and give it life. No matter how long it takes to make, play, say, write, paint, sketch, sew, sculpt, film or build — just make the time to do it. Find your advocates. Find your champions. Collaborate with folks you love and appreciate. Put it in the world and let it take on a life of it's own. See what comes back. Make your art. Even if times are good, and especially when times are tough. Even if no one knows about it, and especially when no one cares whether it comes out or not. Make your art. Make your art. Make your art. A creative life is a shared life, and a shared life is a better life.
We hope to eventually put the album out on vinyl with a label, perhaps make a handful of videos, and thereafter sort out possible touring opportunities. In the meantime, please feel free to share the songs with anyone you believe might enjoy them. Good for long drives, red-eye flights and lonely dishwashing.
In the meantime, please feel free to make your own experimental films and wonky YouTube videos for the songs. Note: Zero skill with a camera required. Have fun, get weird.
Maybe make a video of:
- Someone dancing in a Snuggie to "Feathers From A Bird".
- Chainsmoking cigs and waving bye-bye to your future to "This Departing Landscape".
- Dressing up like a modern day Buddy Holly and lip-synching to "The Conductor".
- Pouring a glass of milk in slow motion to "Waves Of Blood".
- Shooting a poison arrow to "Lay Down Your Weapons".
- Felling a tree to "Destroyed, The Sword of St. Michael".
- Raising your skinny fists up to heaven and cursing fate to "Lowercase Blues".
- Swimming out into the ocean and then pouring one out on the sand for Sharon Harrison on "For Sharon, With Love" (Rest In Peace).
- Becoming the moon chasing the sun out of the sky to "Golden Shivers".
- Combing your hair, reading To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf and then putting rocks in your pockets while wading into a lake on "Virginia Long Exhale".
- Riding a train while the apocalypse erupts all around you to "The Earth Countered".
- Undressing, kissing, crying and laughing with the one you love until your lips are swollen and you both can't breath to "The Architect and The Atomizer".
- Etc....
It'd be great to see your interpretations of these songs. Lord knows everything we put our hands to tends to take forever.
Sincerely, if you find this post and feel like seeking out the album, thanks again for taking the time to listen. It does our hearts and heads more good than you know.
We send you much love, strength and goodwill

Instead, President Obama wants to raise taxes on U.S. companies by: 1) limiting the ability of American business to defer U.S. tax on their foreign income and 2) reducing the credit American businesses receive for foreign taxes paid. The President's proposals demonstrate a fundamental misunderstanding of tax policy principles and the market forces that drive the global economy. Currently, most other countries do not tax their companies' overseas profits. So, as the WSJ illustrates:
A German firm doing business in Ireland, say, pays no German income tax on its Irish profits, but it does pay Ireland's corporate income tax at its 12.5% rate. The U.S. company competing with that German business in Ireland, by contrast, pays Ireland the same 12.5% on its profits — and it then pays Uncle Sam up to 35%, minus a credit for what it paid the Irish. And because almost everyone else's corporate tax rates are lower than America's, U.S. companies end up paying higher taxes than their international competitors.
And those higher taxes mean a big competitive disadvantage for American firms. Even business leaders that were highly supportive of Obama's presidential campaign are livid over this latest revenue grab. The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
Silicon Valley executives made clear to all that Obama's hunt for revenue to finance his ambitious agenda, from green energy to health care, should leave them alone. … The plan would "make very good companies very uncompetitive," said Kevin Surace, chief executive of Serious Materials of Sunnyvale. As it is, he said, with the cost advantages that Chinese companies have already, "we're almost uncompetitive now."
Punishing U.S. companies for competing overseas will ultimately kill jobs here at home. For every worker employed by a U.S. subsidiary in a foreign country, 2.3 Americans are employed in the U.S. And a 10 percent increase in foreign investment by businesses has been associated with a 2.6 percent increase in investment in the businesses' home countries. So, we were delighted to see the President begin to learn that high taxes kill jobs; unfortunately he still needs a couple more classes.
Quick Hits:
- A report by the Director of National Intelligence obtained yesterday by ABC News directly contradicts Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) previous claims that she was told about the use of waterboarding techniques.
- At a Treasury bond auction yesterday, the government was forced to pay higher interest rates than expected, signaling that the current levels of massive government spending will push up borrowing costs for the federal government and consumers.
- Federal Reserve staff economists, yesterday, identified disturbing signs that the economy's growth potential was downshifting to a lower gear.
- Among the federal programs deemed ineffective by President Obama yesterday were at least $490 million worth of programs Obama signed into law with his stimulus package and at least $19 million worth of programs Obama signed into law with the omnibus spending bill.
- Not only is General Motors still on the verge of bankruptcy after receiving $15.4 billion in "loans" from the federal government, but according to the company's restructuring plan many of the company's new jobs will be filled by workers overseas.

Visa issues have forced Efrain Escudero (17-3) out of Saturday's BAMMA 7 main-card bout with fellow lightweight Tim Radcliffe (11-4).
Escudero tweeted the news earlier today.
However, 13 fights remain on the card, which takes place at NIA Arena in Birmingham, England, with notables such as Paul Daley and Andre Winner. Frank Trigg (21-8) vs. Jim Wallhead (21-6) headlines.
The event streams live and free on BAMMA's website, www.bamma.com. (It also airs on Syfy in the U.K.)
BAMMA quickly has become one of the U.K.'s top MMA promotions. This latest card, which also includes a world lightweight title fight between champ Rob Sinclair (10-2) and Leonardo Santos (9-3) and a British middleweight title fight of Jack Marshman (8-0) vs. Carl Noon (7-1), is perhaps its deepest yet.
Escudero, best known for his five-fight stint in the UFC following his successful run as "The Ultimate Fighter 8" winner, looked to build off a July win over Mike Rio in regional action. It was his fourth win in five fights since his UFC release a year ago.
The full BAMMA 7 card includes:
- Frank Trigg vs. Jim Wallhead
- Paul Daley vs. Jordan Radev
- Jack Marshman vs. Carl Noon (for vacant British middleweight title)
- Champ Rob Sinclair vs. Leonardo Santos (for world lightweight title)
- Jack Marshman vs. Carl Noon
- Jason Ball vs. Andre Winner
- Danny Compton vs. Pindi Madahar
- Robert Devanne vs. Eugene Fadiora
- Tim Newman vs. Shan Omer
- Dale Hardiman vs. Scott Jansen
- Tom Breese vs. Lee Taylor
- Dean Amasinger vs. Shah Hussein
- Robert Krecicki vs. Fraser Opie
- James Brum vs. Erik Perez

The album is finally here, "Blak and Blu." It couldn't come soon enough. Following the release of Gary Clark Jr.'s first major-label release "The Bright Lights" EP, the full-length debut album has dropped and we are loving it.
It was only last year that we were introduced to the Austin-based musician by his hometown crew and have played "Bright Lights" on repeat since, waiting patiently for the full album to arrive. It's soul, blues and rock at its finest and it's the work of a musician, who only at 28 years old, seems like he's been in the business forever.
The debut single got critical acclaim very early on from legends like Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. Alicia Keys even said it herself, "Hurry up and Google [him], before you're late." The man has proven that he's got it, on stage and in the studio.
U.S. & World
From the times we've encountered Gary, he's generally a pretty quiet guy, but when he gets on stage, there's no questioning that he's heard. And, we like what we hear.
Some say he's like Hendrix. Others say Stevie Ray Vaughan. But If you've heard his insane solo guitar riffs, you know it's Gary Clark Jr.
Check out the debut single below, get that album, and rock!

Promotional tech gifts like USB drives are the modern-day equivalent of the promotional pen of days gone by. When you want to reach a digitally tuned-in audience, promotional USB drives like the ones ArtPromos.com carries are the ideal choice.
What makes custom imprinted flash drives such a great choice as a promotional product? First, they're extremely practical. More than half of the world population uses a computer at home or at work, or both. A significant number of those users will have the need to transfer data between devices at some point, some frequently, so a custom flash drive will come in handy when those occasions arise. Offer a practical item like this to your customers and you can be certain it will get used, giving your name or message regular, ongoing exposure.
Promotional USB drives also make superb giveaways because of their size. Just like a promotional pen, a box of personalized flash drives can be easily transported to off-site events, such as trade shows. They're small enough that you can even keep several of them in a pocket at one time. Every person you meet is a potential customer or business associate, so having these items on-hand gives you a way to connect with people and establish those important business relationships. We have more than 100 different flash drives to choose from. Color options are endless, and prices start at under five dollars each. With your digital imprint, your personalized flash drive will impress and delight receivers.

One of the biggest obstacles to online shopping is the fear of fraud or a security scam. Although longtime Internet users may already know how to protect themselves, we're seeing a lot of new people shopping online this year as Internet use become ubiquitous. And most of us are new to shopping from mobile devices. They too have security risks.
While security is an issue, it's important not to overblow the fear. If you shop in physical stores you run the risk of getting into an accident on the way, having your car dinged in the parking lot or having your pocket or purse picked. There is even a risk of in-store credit card fraud, where a clerk copies down all your information. These risks are low, but so are the risks of online shopping. Most of us don't encounter fraud, identity theft or merchandise that never shows up.
The most important thing you can do is to be sure you're dealing with a reputable site. Even if it looks like a merchant you know, take a careful look at the site's web address (URL). If it's Sears, for example, make sure it's really Sears.com and not something like Sears.somethingelse.com.
That's especially important if you're clicking on a link that comes by email. Phishing attacks that take you to fake look-alike sites are getting increasingly sophisticated. I try to avoid clicking on links in email and just type in the site's URL. Also be careful about misspellings. It's not uncommon for scammers to register a site with a slight variation of a legitimate site's name.
Even if the site isn't a fraud, it may still be somewhat unreputable. I once bought a camera online at a price that was "too good to be true." The camera did arrive but without a battery, battery charger or manual. By the time I bought the required accessories, I wound up spending more than if I had bought it at Amazon.com.
If you're not familiar with a site, look at it carefully. Read the "about us" section to look for a street address and phone number. Give them a call if you feel a need for a bit of human contact with them and by all means look them up on a search engine. Sometimes I'll type in the merchant's name in Google followed by "scam" to see what comes up. I don't necessarily take all reports literally -- even reputable merchants will get some complaints -- but I look to see how many there are and where they are coming from.
You should always use a payment method that gives you some recourse. Credit cards are best because, if you have a complaint, you can ask the credit card company to investigate and it will remove the charge until it determines if it's fraudulent. You also have protections with debit cards, but since they take the money out of your account immediately, you have to ask that it be put back. PayPal also offers some protections against fraud.
You might want to avoid shopping or banking from public Wi-Fi networks, especially ones that aren't secured with a password. Even if it is password protected, there is the chance that someone could "sniff" what you're doing on the public network.
Finally, make sure your device is secure. And notice that I said "device," not PC. Many of us are using security or "anti-virus" software on our PCs and heeding advice to keep our operating systems and software up-to-date. But most people don't pay much attention to smartphone security.
As smartphone shopping and banking increases, cyber criminals are turning their attention to mobile. Be very careful about the apps you download -- some have been known to contain malware that can steal your information. Only download from trusted sources like the Apple App store or Google Play and read the reviews in those stores if you're not familiar with the app. The major security software companies like Norton, Trend Micro and McAfee offer mobile software, as does Lookout.com, which has both a free and premium app to protect iPhone and Android phones.

This past week Jonathan Brookins told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) he planned to return at "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou."
"The Ultimate Fighter 12" winner now has an opponent.
Brookins (12-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) has agreed to drop a weight class to fight featherweight Erik Koch (12-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at the Sept. 17 event, UFC officials today announced.
The main card of UFC Fight Night 25, an event heavily promoted by UFC sponsor Bud Light, airs on Spike TV. As MMAjunkie.com recently reported, the event is expected to take place at the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center.
Brookins, a onetime WEC featherweight who moved up to lightweight for "TUF 12," hasn't fought since the show's live finale in December, when he defeated Michael Johnson for the season's championship. He's now won four straight fights since his WEC 36 loss to Jose Aldo, who went on to win the WEC/UFC featherweight title.
Brookins had been scheduled for returns at UFC 129 (against John Makdessi) and the recent TUF 13 Finale event (against Jeremy Stephens), but a broken orbital halted those plans. Brookins said it wasn't anything especially serious but that it affected "the bottom floor of my eye and caught up some nerves and stuff." He was able to do most of his training, but the injury would "tease" him and make itself known at sporadic times.
Now healed, he meets the equally fast-rising Koch, who looks for his third consecutive "Knockout of the Night" award. One of Duke Roufus' blue-chip prospects, the Iowan went 3-1 in the WEC and suffered his lone defeat to now-No. 1 contender Chad Mendes. Earlier this year in his UFC debut, he scored a vicious first-round knockout of Raphael Assuncao at UFC 128 for his third straight win.
For more on "UFC Fight Night 25: Battle on the Bayou," stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.
