The MK14 rifle does not have the performence as it is represented in the statistics of the game.reijmers63 Apr 24, 2012 1:17 AM
The MK14 is the most powerfull single shot assault rifle, you can kill easy everyone with it on a long distence. Only sniper rifles like the Barret .50cal and MSR can beat this weapon because they can shoot at longer distences with more accuracy using one bullet instead of two too kill. This weapon can shoot a quarter further then any other assault weapons and it has less weapon sway. This weapon requires also one bullet as well to make a headshot, so you maight be thinking this is the ultimate weapon if you're can shoot fast and accurate but is not.
Issue of the weapon:
This weapon is only effective if you try too kill someone on a large distence but it will take you two consecutive shots marked as a hit for that, but why does it takes mostly of the time three or more bullets to kill someone on a short distence? You will always lose the battle if you battle with someone that is very close by? Why? You can't afford three or more bullets that are marked as a hit in this situation because even a NOOB will kill you with that kind of performence of a single shot rifle because it's taking too much time.
Yes you are quickly on large distences if you can shoot accurate but that doesn't have to say you will got restricted of performence on short distences right? Why are those performences are shown in the game anyway, with the true performence it should be one bullet to kill someone like the sniper rifle Dragonov can do on short distences because it has the same performence as well. Dragonov can use quickscope for short distences but if you are using it scoped then I agree it will take the Dragonov one bullet to kill on average distences wich MK14 can not. Dragonov can also use the ACOG Scope attachment but it still can kill you with one bullet on short distences. Why? Somtimes the MK14 wouldn't even react if you have a bad but acceptable connection. The performence as it is shown about the MK14 should have be exaggerated on short distences when firing and hit two bullets with aiming down the sights.
My opinion or solutioin:
So my solution is to make one hipfire shot (using the 'Steady Aim' perk) with the MK14 and a shot with aiming down the sight then the kill must be granted, it would be hard to beat a submachine gun but you can stay a chance to kill other people with other assault rifles if you're faster, this kind of rule will make the rifle as it should be, and I will be happy with this. If you can't shoot then leave the MK14 behind but nobody can shoot 100% accurate.
No I do not think it will make it to easy to kill with the MK14 with this rules because if you missed one or two bullets with the MK14 the enemy will take you down for sure. Don't forget that it is just a single shot rifle. At the same time of firing; three shots with the MK14 will give the enemy enough time to shoot almost a half of a mag. and they just need 4 bullets of it to kill you or me If someone shot you first the MK14 wouldn't even hurt them without FOCUS attached on this weapon weapon. So if you hit them first and you missed the second shot they will have a better chance to kill you because their weapon will flinch once then they can keep up the fire without being hurt because your weapon stay's being flinched if you are being hit at all the times.
If I'm using the FOCUS attachment on this weapon then the weapon will be barely accurate so I've to shoot even more then two shots to hit them. You can use one of multiple weapon specialty's not two at the same time that's why I use the KICK proficiency. The KICK proficiency will reduce my recoil when firing so it stay's accurate when I'm shooting bullets fast one after another. I go for speed to kill not being to slow and got him afterall.
How to get this problem solved:
Please reply a note to me but the staff of MW3 for sure, if you agree with this. You have to keep in your mind that your own accuracy or specialty with any gun have to be paid off, you will see it for yourself if you even try to use the MK14. I know submachine guns are always faster if you are using them right but if it's not you will got killed as well by any other assault rifles but not by the MK14 because it will take you that damn three or more bullets (marked as a hit) to kill, sometimes you've got to fire 5 shots try to hit them on short distences right if they are keep moving fast. (if they have spotted you 4 bullets must be horrible enough if you could kill them with two hits). This must be solved because lots of people are playing
My conclusion:
It's a damn good rifle if you can shoot with it but not within the range of other weapons even if you can hit them twice then you suddenly needs three hits to kill them wich cost you to much time. You will see it for yourself if they keep moving and they don't die with two hits then you know what I'm talking about! Nobody likes this rifle because of this discription about the issue or they can't handle it. You can talk live to MW3 staff via a chat button on the main support page, if we have enough people who's doing that maybe the next update will solve this problem. This weapon have to be paid off because of your own accuracy, if I could be a sniper then I had a sniper rifle because good snipers have the most flexebility to kill.

Plans for a slew of housing, space for offices and retail shops and a small park open to the public were generally well-received at a meeting Thursday for the Studio Plaza development in downtown Silver Spring, the Gazette newspaper reported.
A representative from development company Robert Hillerson and Michael, LLC rolled out a plan that they said took prior community input into account.
Studio Plaza will occupy part of the block that is bounded by Thayer Avenue and Silver Spring Avenue to the north and south and Georgia Avenue and Fenton Street to the east and west.
Chair of the Urban District Advisory Committee Ernest Bland told the newspaper that he wrote to county officials about his concern for safety of walkways and that the proposed development's design "appeared to turn its back on the community."
The newspaper reported that other reviews of the revamped plans were favorable.
Studio Plaza will likely include about one-fourth of an acre of green space between Silver Spring Avenue and Thayer Avenue, an area that is now a parking lot. The Gazette reported that the parking will move underground.
The Montgomery County Planning Board will review the plans on Jan. 24.

Coleman Files Brief in Minnesota Recount Case
The first brief has been filed today (4/30) by the appellants with the Minnesota Supreme Court.
Edward B. Foley
It is a fortuitous coincidence that the University of Virginia's Journal of Law & Politics has just published a piece of mine that shows the relevance of the current vote-counting process in Virginia's Attorney General election to what might happen if the 2016 presidential election turns on a similar vote-counting process in Virginia.
Professor Daniel Tokaji was quoted in an article from the Associated Press about an attorney general opinion that allows the Ohio treasurer to conduct telephone town halls using public money. The opinion will likely have broad ramifications for the upcoming elections, Tokaji said.
"As a practical matter, while that legal advice is certainly right, very serious concerns can arise about whether these are really intended to inform Ohio constituents about the operations of his office or if they're campaign events," he said.
In two opinions issued today, the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the state's voter ID law against challenges that the law violated the Wisconsin Constitution. The court issued an opinion in League of Women Voters of Wisconsin v. Walker and also an opinion in Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP v. Walker.

Just one ounce of Digest Aid can help poor keepers maintain peak condition and gain weight on less grain. Contains Bifidobacterium bifidum, a beneficial microflora that secretes enzymes that aid in the breakdown of fibrous cellulose into fatty acids. The fatty acids are then absorbed and used by the horse as a source of calories and energy. Digest Aid allows the horse to fully utilize the nutrients in its diet, increase weight gain and maintain peak condition on less grain.
|3 lbs and 7 lbs
|Size Options
|Product Condition
Enclosed scoop holds one ounce.
Feed Digest Aid at the following daily rates:
Sprinkle the proper amount over feed or mix with the grain ration.
ADULT HORSES: 1 ounce per day
FOALS, WEANLINGS, PONIES: 1/2 ounce per day
PREGNANT & NURSING MARES: 2 ounces per day
For optimum results, Digest Aid should be fed along with a complete vitamin/mineral supplement such as Farnam's Vita Plus®.
Aids in digestion and feed utilization.
Digest Aid is a soybean meal base that contains a patented fermentation extract produced by a select substrain of Aspergillus Oryzae. This fermentation extract helps to establish and maintain a balanced microflora in the horse's intestinal tract that will aid in the digestion of protein, fiber, sugars and starches. Digest Aid will help improve the horse's utilization of its feed by increasing the nutrient availability it receives from the hay and grains in its diet. You'll see the difference in your horse's performance, digestion and attitude. Improved feed utilization not only helps with your horse's nutrition, but also helps you as a horseowner to get the most economical use from the feeds you purchase for your horse.

When Beaumont Health System's social media specialists noticed a tweet from Samantha (@itsmayhem) that read—"I want my life narrated by the voice from the Beaumont Hospital commercials"—they decided to have a little fun.
We've all seen and heard the commercials with that music—and that voice. The script goes something like this:INT. BEAUMONT HOSPITAL - DUSK A pair of doctors walk down hospital corridor. A woman purchases flowers at a gift shop. A hospital chef chops vegetables. Nurses smile while preparing a hospital bed.
Whether you've come to Beaumont for a simple screening or major surgery, you'll find the most advanced medical care in the world.
'I want my life narrated...'
With the help of the talented William Price, the voice of Beaumont's ads, Samantha got her wish to have her life narrated —sort of.
"We called (Price) and asked him if he would do it and he said yes," said Joseph Wesolek, web content planner for Beaumont. "We didn't know much about her life so we had him read her tweets."
Of the video, @itsmayhem had this to say: "I honestly was shocked that they made a video, I only had made that tweet as a joke. It's too bad he can't follow me around."
To see small a sample of what it might be like if Price could follow her around, watch the video.

Slater needs to take a 9th to secure an unprecedented 11th crown. "I'm going to try and just be relaxed about it because it's a situation where you could feel tense in and want to get it over with it. The reality of it is the other guys have to win both events with my last heat win so the pressure is on them. "I don't feel like I can relax though because the guys now have to focus and that's when they could do something magic. That's how it goes in competition and I don't doubt that that's a possibility. It is close. I just need to catch four good waves in this event to win the title."© 2014 Rip Curl
Adriano de Souza is is storming form. "Coming off the win in Portugal last event has given me a lot of confidence," De Souza said. "We had amazing waves, but the waves are fun here too. It's much colder, but it's not too bad. San Francisco is beautiful and we're very fortunate to have all the support of the locals for having us here."© 2014 Lucia Griggi

I have a Yamaha RX-V371 hooked up to my 2 Monitor 60s. These are the only 2 speakers I have. The comfort of say pending what I'm doing is this:
Wii - -40db area
PS3 - -30 db area
XBox - -30 db area
TV - -25 db all the way to -30 db pending the actual show
Now I've had times where my cat steps on my remote and it cranks up to +10, -05 area before I could quick grab the remote and turn it back down and this is exactly where this question comes in.
What is TOO loud(bad for speakers)? What is the good mid-range db of the speakers when it comes to keeping them safe/taking care of them(not popping them)? If the receiver volume range has any play in this answer, the receiver goes anywhere from -80(lowest) to I'm guessing +80(never even turned the volume that high to find out).

Hi Bob,
Hang around, or better yet use the search function on this site for reviews and comments about systems anchored by TSI-400s...usuallly we say that when you have a GOOD sub--which you DO!

LaFAYETTE, Ga. -- LaFayette High School art teacher Liz Hornik remembers how people reacted when she first got students to create public art for display around town.
"LaFayette's getting all artsy."
Resident comments like that prompted her to think, "Yes! That's exactly what I want."
Hornik's students just finished their latest work in the attempt to artsy-fy LaFayette: An opaque, stained-glass mosaic modeled after a traditional "propeller" pattern quilt. The work will hang in the lobby of the new Barwick-LaFayette Airport terminal once it's rebuilt.
"This was a really simple one. We did this in about two weeks," Hornik said.
Adrianne Counch, a junior who helped make the airport mosaic, said Hornik's art class is "my most fun class."
Other student-made, stained-glass mosaics have been mounted around town in the past few weeks, including a peach tree near a Cohutta Bank branch and a traditional Cherokee Indian design at the LaFayette-Walker County Library.
All told, students in Hornik's class, Heather Hawkins' art class at LaFayette Middle School and Chris Sandow's art class at Gilbert Elementary School have produced 21 large works of art in the last six years.
The LaFayette Downtown Development Authority funds the artwork by reimbursing teachers for materials.
"The program is a win-win for everyone, because the DDA is helping to nurture artistic talent, the art beautifies downtown and students feel pride in a community when they can point to a piece of art and say they helped to create it," said Catherine Edgemon, LaFayette's MainStreet and economic development director.
And art classes are something students stick with, Hornik said. Many of her students are the same ones she had seven years ago when she moved to LaFayette from Houston, Texas, to teach at the middle school, she said.

Another study has found an association between eating meat and premature death, this time linking the consumption of bacon, sausage and other processed meats with cardiovascular disease and cancer in a study of nearly a half-million Europeans.
"Overall, we estimate that 3% of premature deaths each year could be prevented if people ate less than 20 grams processed meat per day," Sabine Rohrmann of the University of Zurich, who led the study, said in a statement. (Twenty grams is about 0.7 ounces; a hot dog comes in at 50 to 70 grams or more, depending on the brand, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture website.)

Can We Talk Calmly About Obama's 'Executive Orders'?
- By Garrett Epps
- The Atlantic
- January 18, 2013
- Leave a comment
You may be perplexed about President Obama's recent actions aimed at promoting gun safety. One of the leading scholars of separation of powers, Peter M. Shane, has set out a calm analysis of Obama's actions here. The president signed three, not 23, executive orders, he notes. Shane's most important point is this:
What executive orders cannot do is impose obligations or restrictions on the public, unless Congress, through legislation, has expressly or implicitly conferred authority on the President to do so. It is worth noting that none of President Obama's executive orders on gun violence do any such things.
The opposition has many criticisms of the specifics of Obama's actions. Fair enough; that's part of the ongoing debate about the proper regulation of firearms. But some on the right like to claim that "executive orders" in themselves are lawless.
If so, that would have come as news to George Washington -- who issued, among dozens of proclamations, eight executive orders of the kind we recognize today -- and to every president since.
What is the president's job? He is the holder of "the executive power" and has the duty to "take care that the laws be faithfully executed." It would be childish to believe that statutes, once passed by Congress, somehow carry themselves out while the president greets Little League teams in the Rose Garden. New criminal statutes must be enforced; new conditional spending grants must be administered; new programs must be assigned to government departments for administration; new policies must be carried out by government employees on the ground.

Stopping Bullying in Schools
Nora Ranney on May 6, 2010 - 12:32pm
The outcry following the suicides of two Massachusetts students, who killed themselves after being subjected to intense bullying in the past year, culminated in Gov. Deval Patrick signing anti-bullying legislation on May 3rd. The Massachusetts House and Senate passed the bill unanimously, following more than a decade of work by advocates. The law prohibits actions that cause emotional or physical harm to students, including taunting over the Internet. Faculty and students are required to have anti-bullying training and parents must be informed of incidents at school. School employees, including custodians and cafeteria workers, must report incidents of suspected bullying and principals must investigate each case.
Massachusetts now joins 42 other states with an anti-bullying bill, leaving Michigan, Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alabama, Hawaii (last introduced in 2009), Mississippi, and Montana yet to join them. Wisconsin's SB 154 is on Gov. Doyle's desk and would require school boards to enact anti-bullying policies and implement procedures for investigating and disciplining incidences of bullying. A Michigan bill (HB 4580) is stalled in committee, but Gov. Granholm has stated she will sign the bill if it reaches her desk.
Protecting LGBT Youth: In Michigan, the sticking point, as with many other more recent state bills, is whether or not to give specific mention to LGBT youth. A compromise not pleasing to either side is in negotiations, tweaking the language to read, "[Bullying] is reasonably perceived to be motivated by animus or by actual or perceived characteristic." The American Family Association of Michigan is lobbying hard to kill the bill. Similar socially conservative "family" organizations have fought anti-bullying bills in other states.
Studies have shown that LBGT youth are especially targeted for bullying. A 2007 report by the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) found that 9 out of 10 LGBT students (86.2%) experienced harassment at school in the past year, three-fifths (60.8%) felt unsafe at school because of their sexual orientation and about a third (32.7%) skipped a day of school in the past month because of feeling unsafe.
Advocates in Massachusetts were disappointed that LGBT youth were not specified as a class in need of protection in the bill just enacted there. On the other hand, North Carolina last year passed SB 526, requiring schools to adopt strong policies against bullying and harassment, including bullying based on sexual orientation and gender identity, despite a protracted and oftentimes mean-spirited fight. This was the first time the terms "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" appear in the North Carolina General Statutes -- a significant victory for Equality North Carolina, which joined forces with a statewide school violence prevention coalition and other allies to support the bill, sponsored by Rep. Rick Glazier.
Upgrading Old Statutes: Many states with existing anti-bullying legislation are experiencing "upgrade" bills to include cyberbullying, training and/or to add "sexual orientation or gender identity" to the list of protected students. Cyberbullying -- defined as communicating harmful, violent and/or malicious words and/or pictures through the means of technology -- has been a growing area of harassment that states are increasingly seeking to address.
This legislative session, Illinois lawmakers passed an upgrade to their existing bill, now including LGBT students specifically and mandating tolerance training. The Senate bill passed with all but two senators supporting it; the House passed the bill unanimously. Gov. Quinn is expected to sign the bill within the week.
The key focus of all these anti-bullying laws is to hold school officials accountable for developing policies to prohibit bullying. Where they vary is in the details of bullying prevention programs, training for staff, and accountability measures to require individuals to report school bullying incidents. And regardless of the statute language, assuring they are interpreted and implemented appropriately is an ongoing challenge.

The Orange Leader
Twice in the brief 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians the Apostle Paul says, "For we know in part" (vs. 9) and again in verse 12 he says, "I know in part." What he is saying is obvious; we don't know anything perfectly. In a limited way this helps us understand why there are so many different church denominations. There is a vast area of agreement within most denominations but in each there exists certain core "truths" in which there can be no compromise and the difference is enough difference to make a difference and a new organization is formed to embrace that difference.
Isn't there something ironic about this? We all agree that salvation from sin is possible because of one man's death via one nation's method of killing him—death on a Roman cross. Peter proclaims, "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12). Does the name of Jesus come to mind when you think, "there is none other name under heaven…" It should, because it is. And, as a general rule this is enough to bridge the gap between denominations and individual churches.
Unfortunately, however, it is not always the circumstance. Doctrinal trivialities somehow intervene until mere doctrinal molehills become doctrinal mountains that divide. For example: one of my longest and very best preacher friends is a staunch Calvinist. I personally lean more toward the Arminian view on the matter of whether "I choose" or "God chooses" for me in the matter of salvation. While this is a major matter with some it is of less importance to my friend and I as we often fellowship. This is, as I believe, just as it should be among all Christians.
Why are our "spiritual arteries" so hardened that we desperately need a spiritual "heart transplant" to make it possible for all Christian denominations to see the value and importance of celebrating the life and death of Jesus? He made it clear: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). Isn't this affirmation (and many others like it) enough to cut a channel deep enough for the waters of God's grace and love to flow unrestricted and unabated between all believers?
Lord, send a revival. Let it begin today in me!

Bristol Palin, pictured here at the Just Dance 4 launch party in Los Angeles, was the target of a suspicious powder-speckled package.
Bristol Palin is back on Dancing With the Stars--and the suspicious mail is back, too.
Two years after the FBI opened an investigation into who mailed an envelope containing an ultimately harmless white powder to CBS Studios with the intent of spooking Palin, another powder-speckled package found its way to the lot yesterday, an FBI source tells the Hollywood Reporter.
ABC had no comment, while BBC Worldwide Productions said that they take the health and safety of all their competitors and employees very seriously. A rep for Palin also told E! News that they were abiding by the show's policy not to comment on security issues.
Check out what Bristol said about Julianne Moore's portrayal of her mom in Game Change
Authorities haven't released any official details yet; but, once again, the package was reportedly intended as a threat against Palin's further participation on the show and the only substance found in it was deemed harmless.
Meanwhile, the Life's a Tripp star's detractors may just end up spending another TV season grumbling under their breaths. Despite quickstepping her way to to last place Monday night, Bristol snagged enough votes to keep her safe for another week.
And, though hers wasn't the sprightliest step, she made the semifinals back in season 11.

Submitted by the Georgia Department of Labor
The Georgia Department of Labor said today that metro Dalton's unemployment rate increased to 12.3 percent in July, up seven-tenths of a percentage point from 11.6 percent in June. The rate was 11.9 percent in July a year ago. Metro Dalton includes Whitfield and Murray counties.
The rate rose because of an increase in new layoffs, growth in the labor force and a decrease in the number of jobs.
The number of layoffs, represented by initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits, increased by 1,301, or 132.3 percent, to 2,284 from 983 in June. Most were temporary layoffs in manufacturing. In July 2012, there were 1,716 claims.
The labor force, which is the number of people employed plus those unemployed but actively looking for work, rose by 269 to 59,783 from 59,514 in June. There were 59,989 in the labor force in July 2012.
The number of jobs declined by 600 to 62,900 in July, compared to 63,500 in June. Most of the loss resulted from temporary layoffs in textile manufacturing, with other losses in state and local government. The Dalton area has gained 200 jobs since the 62,700 jobs in July 2012. The annual gains came mostly in professional and business services and trade and transportation.
Metro Athens had the lowest area jobless rate at 6.9 percent, while metro Dalton and the Heart of Georgia-Altamaha region tied for the highest at 12.3 percent.
Meanwhile, Georgia's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate for July was 8.8 percent, up from 8.5 percent in June. The rate was 9.1 percent in July a year ago.
Local area unemployment data are not seasonally adjusted. Georgia labor market data are available at www.dol.state.ga.us.

July 31, 2014
If there was ever a summer I was looking forward to the end of, it's this one.
I think I would be ok if we never saw 90 degrees on the thermometer again -- 82 and
sunny works just fine for me.
And of course it's not so much the heat, as the humidity that really gets me.
I can't count the number of days so far this season the sweat starts streaming out of my pores
immediately upon stepping out of the shower, rendering that shower useless -- I
just know it's a high number.
As a matter of fact, the average temperature for July in Parkersburg was the hottest since 1999 with the high temp coming in at 77.6 degrees F.
I do know that starting a couple of days ago the average high temp dropped from 85 to 84 -- a step in the right direction.
Before you know it, I'll be complaining about the below zero temps and snow up to my knees..

We knew that would grab everyone's attention!
This week, Tops has that special going where they double your $1 coupons. You present the coupon, along with one of their Coupon Doublers, and instead of $1 off something, you get $2 off. Why are we explaining this? You all know what we're talking about. That is a Tops checkout pictured, by the way, in the News file photo above.
Buzz contacted our resident coupon expert, Ryan Lysarz, who gave us advice once when we wrote a story on coupons for The News' business section. We asked him what his strategy was this week for capitalizing on this special.
"Funny you should ask about this, Buzz, because I was just working on organizing my coupons. I got rid of expired ones, and then separated out the $1 coupons. Then, I wrote down all of my $1 coupons on paper, separated into categories. When I go to Tops, I will check prices/sales for the items on my list, and purchase the 4 best values. I will do this at least 2-3 times this week, as you can print more doublers online. I also have some Tops register coupons that can be combined with manufacturer's coupons. My dream is to use a doubler, a Tops coupon and a manufacturer's coupon on the same item."
Ha, ha! This guy is 30 years old and already he is a coupon expert! He analyzes supermarket sales the way most people analyze Sabres games. What else, Ryan?
"I also plan to use as many lower value coupons as possible at Tops this week, because I want to beef up my gas points before the 9th."
Questions began pouring in.
"Is a Tops Bonus Plus card the same as a Tops Bonus Card?" A legitimate query!
And one that Ryan is the master of. "Yes, it's the same thing," he says. "I actually have a Martin's card that I enjoy using. Sometimes it throws the cashiers off." Remember Martin's? For a while it replaced Tops at the location on Maple Road in Williamsville.
He adds: "I think the old Quality Markets cards still work, too."

Chemicals in the Sahara would be better.
They know how to utilize the surround sound and have such epic moments like that bass drop transition at the beginning of escape velocity, or during under the influence. Even outdoors, it sounded like an airplane was landing on the crowd, the bass would build from the back then sweep up to the front, I can only imagine how incredible this would be in a tent with surround sound. Also the screen is not insanely over the top huge. With the amount of people that will most likely be at KoL, the Sahara would be the pristine perfect spot for a chemical indulgence. Almost makes me want to go 3000 miles for this performance alone.
They will definitely close with TPPR, which so so fucking cool.
Another one from the Fox show.
I want my planet BAAAAAAACK *WHRRRRIIIIII WHURRRRRRRR*
I woke up with Galvanize stuck in my head. This really isn't a bad thing.
Regardless, I HIGHLY doubt that the Chemical Brothers will play before 10 pm.
NIN/Soundgarden/ - 8/14 - Austin 360
Woods - 8/20 - Holy Mountain
Jamie xx - 8/27 - The Mohawk
Little Dragon - 8/31 - Moody Theater
Ty Segall - 9/5 - The Mohawk
Seth Troxler - 9/5 - Vulcan Gas Company
Black Lips/King Khan & BBQ Show - 9/12 - J. Lorraine Ghost Town
Chem Bros could play from 11:30-1:00 though. All I am saying is that they most likely choose 10:00-11:30 arbitrarily. I highly doubt Paul Tollet has even started to seriously work on set times.
Monthly Promotional Mix Series now available
Basically, what this would do would close options for Paul T really early on in the process. Paul T has also said in interviews how long and where they play rarely, if ever, enter the negotiations. Madonna was a notable exception.
this is a really good point. they put tons of work into the physical/visual sensation of their live show. giving them the sahara would allow for all sorts of crazy, indescribable rotating/swooping sound effects. mainstage would be more of a spectacle, but you know their visuals are gonna be off the hook anyway. i think letting them take full advantage of the Sahara's surround sound & lighting systems is the right move.Originally Posted by grannock
also, grannock - please come to Coachella! you're the only person i know who records entire shows using a Q3. the sound quality is unparalleled...

Pretty Safe to say that Kele will join them on Believe...
that new show they have is neat! they have a cylindrical arrangement of lights right above their decks
1) Grab your headphones
2) Increase volume as loud as you can
2) Go to 8:20
I was surprised when they played this because it was an unnamed track before these 2011 dates. Got played at a DJ set in Milan last year. It was one of the last unnamed tracks after those other unnamed played tracks got legit names( Escape Velocity, Pourquoi)
Gives me chills! It's almost like Coachella 2005 over again!
Snow --> STA --> Hoops/EBW6 --> TPPR
Snow meshes so well with STA, it gives new life to the track, but more importantly, the Bros bring back Hoops/EBW 6 AND TPPR for the most insane encore ever IMO! Add to this the new visuals and a new setlist makes this the most anticipated Chem show for me ever!
Old story but still good.
Chemical Brothers stop clowning around
The Chemical Brothers have been forced to tone down the disturbing clown images used during their live shows after complaints from fans.
The creepy clowns with bad teeth and smeared make-up - displayed extensively on giant screens during The Chems' sold out 2008 Auckland show - will only be used sparingly when the British dance duo begin their new world tour in New Zealand in March.
Ed Simons said he and Tom Rowlands had decided to "tone down" the clowns after hearing from fans who didn't like the characters, who sing along to songs like Get Yourself High and Do It Again throughout their live performances.
"The clowns have been toned down a bit," Simons told Stuff.co.nz.
"There's a lot of coulrophobia (fear of clowns) about. People were running (away), especially at the more druggy festivals. They (were) like, 'Oh, that was too much.'
"There are still clowns. They're more friendly this time."
Simons said he and Rowlands - known for creating psychelic-tinged electronica since 1995's debut Exit Planet Dust - were looking forward to returning to New Zealand as it was the perfect place to kick off their world tour.
"New Zealand's been great to us, right back when we played the Big Day Out in 2000. We hadn't been that far from home to play before and it's always good to go back," he said.
"Our tour last time was fantastic ... it's a fantastic place."
The Chems' 2008 tour was a head-spinning mix of the band's thumping electronica and a trippy audio-visual show that included strobes, lasers and giant video backdrops.
Simons said their new tour would have a more "integrated" feel to it.
"The new album was made alongside the visuals (and) it's nice how this works with the older stuff," he said.
"We still rely on volume and bright lights and the crowd. The memorable thing is to experience our music at really high volume and with people losing it, that sense of transcendence, being taken to another place, and the hedonism of it."
Further, their seventh album, has marked a change for the duo, who opted not to include guest vocalists - who infused previous hits like rapper Fatlip on The Salmon Dance and Noel Gallagher on Let Forever Be - in favour of crafting a full length album experience.
Simons said Further had been a freeing album to make.
"Some of our bigger hits haven't had guest vocalists, like Hey Boy, Hey Girl and Star Guitar. I think people who've been with us for a long time have enjoyed an album that's looser.
"I'm really glad you can hear a lot of the synth work in our new music."
Simons said current dance music trends - like the blossoming dubstep scene - had influenced the album, but the duo were always trying to create unique music.
"We're not slaves to any trends but we're pretty up on who's producing what. We want to make music that's authentic to us. If we made music that was copying the sounds of 22-year-old kids we'd sound inauthentic."
The pair still DJ'd gigs separately, but Simons said they were looking forward to touring their new album together.
"That bass drum is still thudding away, and it doesn't show any sign of stopping."

By Emily Stone
An angry ex can be an unpleasant thing. An angry ex with naked photos of you who isn't afraid to post them online is terrifying.
That's the concept behind "revenge porn." Only two states, California and New Jersey, currently have laws banning revenge porn and Illinois might soon join them.
"This is behavior that isn't going to be tolerated," said Scott Drury, an Illinois legislator.
Under a bill proposed by Drury, any non-consensual dissemination of sexually explicit materials would become a felony, classified as a sex crime. Consequences would be more severe if the victim is a minor or disabled.
Drury said his bill goes beyond those in terms of labeling the offense a sex crime. The bill also allows for the forfeiture of any profits made from the photos, which is a way of targeting for-profit sites that post them.
Recently, Hunter Moore, dubbed the "revenge porn king" was indicted by the FBI for allegedly hacking into computers to retrieve nude photos. Moore's now defunct site, IsAnyoneUp, encouraged angry exes to post revenge porn.
What do you think? Should more states ban revenge porn?

From staff and wire reports
The Salem News
---- — SALEM — First there was the blue lobster. Now, just in time for Halloween, it's the orange and black.
Salem lobsterman Dana Duhaime caught a rare split-colored lobster last week in one of his traps in Bakers Channel off Beverly, according to the New England Aquarium.
The 1-pound lobster is split perfectly down the middle, with one side black, the other side orange. Scientists believe the rare look is caused by a complete cellular split when the lobster egg is first fertilized, according to the aquarium.
Split lobsters happen about once in every 50 to 100 million lobsters, with orange and black the most common combination.
The discovery of the orange-and-black lobster comes less than a month after another local lobsterman, Mike Malewicki of Beverly, caught a blue lobster about 12 miles off Beverly. The chances of a blue lobster are about 1 in 5 million.
Both colorful crustaceans are now in the possession of the New England Aquarium.

HOUSTON -- She's known as the "Enchilada Queen of Houston," but in a flash, restaurant owner Sylvia Casares became a gunshot victim.
The accused shooter was a man she had hired and dated.
"The moment the gun went off did you know what was happening?" asked KHOU 11 News' Len Cannon.
"Only until I heard the gun explode and I felt the pain, that's when I realized what had happened," said Sylvia Casares.
It happened on a Monday night in March of 2012.
Sylvia Casares was sitting in her car in her driveway with her ex-boyfriend on a Monday night in March of 2012.
She says he then suddenly shot her in the stomach.
"Well the first thing I said to him was 'oh my God.' Why did you shoot me? And that was it," said Casares.
When asked if he said anything to her, she shook her head no.
It was an unbelievable turn of events for the woman dubbed the "Enchilada Queen of Houston." She owns two restaurants in the area. The menu at Sylvia's Kitchen is filled with the Tex-Mex food she grew up loving in her hometown of Brownsville.
On that frightening night, Casares says she crawled from her car to her home, called for help, and waited for 25 minutes.
"It's survival. That's all it is. You want to survive. You want to live. I wasn't ready for my life to be over," she said. "I thought about my kids… thought about my life. It's an amazing experience. It is a life altering experience."
The man she says pulled the trigger is Michael Warren.
Investigators say Warren took off in Sylvia's car, but was arrested several days later at a motel in Rosenberg. No weapon was found.
Warren has pleaded not guilty to aggravated assault, and is out on bond.
Sylvia spent months recovering, but returned to her restaurants full-time last September.
If her case goes to trial, Syliva says she will testify.

The Boston City Council backed legislation to reform public school teacher hiring and evaluation. The vote at Wednesday's council meeting urged the Legislature to support a Senate Bill that would change teacher seniority rules.
asked his colleagues to support the legislation and put pressure on the State House.
"What this legislation does is essentially this bill is to tie hiring decisions to teacher evaluations and removes seniority as the controlling factor in hiring. It does not remove seniority as a factor in hiring, it removes it as the controlling factor," said Connolly, who introduced a new City Council resolution draft to support the bill, after presenting an initial draft in recent weeks.
"This does not eradicate seniority, it just means seniority is not the end-all, be-all in hiring of teachers. Seniority becomes a tiebreaker after evaluation," said Connolly, chairman of the council's Education Committee.
The City Council voted 8-5 to support the resolution, which will be sent to the State House—particularly the Boston delegation—members of the Education Committee, speaker of the house, and Senate president.
Saying the legislation is controversial, Connolly said the new draft of the bill was supported by the Massachusetts Teachers Association and Mayor Thomas Menino.
The bill would also provide a $13-million appropriation used to train evaluators. Connolly said unions opposed this part of the measure. Union leaders are wary of trainers who haven't themselves been trained by union-approved personnel, said Connolly.
The Boston Teachers Union did not respond to an initial request for comment. Connolly said in the meeting that the union doesn't support the bill. Several teachers they wanted changes to the system.
If the bill is not signed by Governor Deval Patrick by July 3, it would become a ballot initiative in the fall.
Said Connolly, "I believe in seniority being used as a tool to keep the best teachers in the classroom...This legislation is very simple: We hire teachers on evaluations and train our evaluators, and require data and reporting to know it's done in a fair manner. And put that ahead of seniority and use seniority as a tiebreaker. So if you're a teacher of 25 years you will not lose your job."
Possibly the poster child for needing teacher hiring reform is 2012 Teacher of Year Adam Gray. After teaching for five years in South Boston's Monument High School, Gray was laid off and told he didn't have enough seniority. He now works for an exam school. The layoff came just two weeks after Gray won the teaching award.
Said Connolly, "Every year we lose hundreds of provisional teachers, not because of performance, but because they're provisional. We placed more than 200 teachers in excess pool to schools, so schools didn't choose those teachers."
