Editors' review
RoboForm is far more than a form-filling and password-managing browser add-on; this inexpensive shareware is one of the most useful browser enhancements we've encountered. RoboForm saves and enters log-in data and passwords, as well as your address, contact data, or any form fields you're always entering the hard way in Web sites and Windows programs. It also manages bookmarks, downloads, notes, and much more. RoboForm costs just under $10 with a free 30-day trial.
Everywhere or Desktop: You can install RoboForm to save data only on your main PC, or you can create an online account that lets you use RoboForm with all your computers and devices. In either case, memorize your master password, which can't be recovered.
Extras: RoboForm's extensive list of extras includes a secure Password Generator, SafeNotes, Contacts, Fingerprints, Smart Cards, and many other features and tools.
Options: RoboForm boasts a huge range of options and settings. We could Manage Identities and Profiles, edit Contacts, and Import and Sync data from RoboForm's Windows tray menu or browser settings.
Too much? RoboForm does so much and has so many features and extras that some users might find it overwhelming.
Costs money: RoboForm is inexpensive and delivers excellent value, but it's not free. Much of what it does is also available in freeware; just not in one program.
Bottom line
We're impressed by RoboForm, and so are many others, to judge by the program's reception. It significantly enhances your browser's capabilities and minimizes routine actions. The more time you spend online or at your PC, the more RoboForm can do for you.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of RoboForm 220.127.116.11

For six months, we've anticipated the Trigger 29. Cannondale hinted that the bike was on its way last summer, when the company introduced the 26-inch Trigger [31] with a carbon frame. It took some time, but just last month, Cannondale delivered its first test samples of the 29er version. The $5,000, 30-pound Trigger 29 has an alloy frame, 130mm of travel and it uses an innovative shock to reduce travel and change geometry. Like the company's successful Jekyll, this bike promises to ride like two bikes in one. We immediately hit the trails, and so far have logged rides through varying conditions in Southern California.
It's Like, Convertible:
The new 29er from Cannondale [32] is based on the current Jekyll [33], Claymore and Trigger platforms, which use Fox's DYAD RT2 pull shock. On this model, a handlebar remote reduces travel from 130mm to 80mm. The change also reduces sag by 40 percent, which increases the bottom bracket height and effective head tube angle—putting the Trigger in an attack position for climbing or railing across rolling singletrack. This now proven twin-chamber shock is highly tunable—each chamber has individual rebound settings and adjustable positive and negative air springs.
The Trigger 29er's aluminum frame features ISCG chainguide mounts and a massive 3D forged, two-piece link. Like Cannondale's other suspension models, this one uses clamped, 15mm thru-axles on the main pivots and double-row bearings on the rear pivots to improve lateral stiffness. The rear wheel uses a 142x12mm thru-axle and the bike's curved seat tube tucks the rear wheel toward the bottom bracket, creating relatively short 17.6-inch chainstays.
The Super Fork:
As cool as the frame is, it is upstaged by the new 130mm travel Lefty Supermax fork. Not only does it weigh just 4 pounds, this model is stiffer than any previous Lefty. The Supermax uses a 36mm lower stanchion that slides within a massive 46mm carbon upper leg. Cannondale claims it is nearly 50-percent stiffer than its competition. Inside, Cannondale uses its PBR damper that features a push-button platform setting. Like the latest crop of Lefty forks, this one also uses a stack of needle bearings and a round bushing on at the bottom of the upper leg to control the sliding surfaces. A companion Supermax front hub increases front wheel stiffness by 40 percent, Cannondale claims.
To keep the bars as low as possible—critical for handling on a 29er—the fork has dedicated clamp sizes for each size frame. Plus, the clamps have less offset, so riders can use a stem as short as 50mm. Lefty engineers didn't stop there. To compensate for the shorter fork offset, they increased the front axle offset (also known as rake) to 61mm—more than on many similar models. Increasing rake speeds up steering response and that amount of offset might make a 26-inch bike feel twitchy. But the added stability of 29-inch wheels balances everything out, Cannondale says. The goal was to improve the 29er's low-speed handling, without disrupting its stability.
The Supermax comes only on the premium Trigger 29er 1. More affordable Trigger models use forks from Fox and RockShox with the max offset those brands offer—51mm.
In all, there are three models of the bike. The $5,000 Trigger 1 we're testing uses the Lefty Supermax fork and a Shimano XT drivetrain; the $4,100 Trigger 2 comes with a Fox 34 Float CTD fork, SRAM X7/X9 drivetrain and Magura brakes; and the $3,220 Trigger 3 features a Rockshox Revelation fork, and an X-Fusion shock that lacks the travel-adjust feature of the other two bikes. A carbon version is also in the works.
A climber's best friend, the Fox Dyad shock reduces travel from 130mm to 80mm.
Ready to rock: the 29er has a dropper post, short stem, plush shock, and trail-taming Lefty fork.
Distinctive Ride:
Not long into my first ride, the trail began climbing into the Santa Monica Mountains north of Los Angeles. Immediately, this 30-pound bike surprised me—it felt much lighter. It rolled easily uphill, and the suspension felt firm and efficient. Activating the Elevate mode to reduce travel put the bike in a more aggressive climbing position, but the 80mm of travel allowed the rear wheel to track the rough trail—it gripped the terrain where bikes with a lockout might have slipped. The steering felt a hair quicker than most trail bikes with this much travel, but front wheel didn't wander or try to self correct as much on some similar models.
Prior to descending, I switched into the 130mm Flow mode and lowered the saddle with the X-Fusion dropper post. The trail was smooth and fast and there wasn't much to test the suspension, but the bike flowed easily over the few rocks and ruts I encountered. Later, I rode the bike on the steeper trails near my home, but recent winter storms had dropped some snow on the singletrack, and there were patches of snow and ice. The bike felt stiff and stable when I opened it up on the few dry sections, but the Schwalbe Hans Damph tires that worked so great on hardpack earlier, slipped and slid through the sloppy conditions.
Not long after, I drove down to Laguna Beach, on California's craggy southern coastline, to test the Trigger on the canyon trails there. On the short, steep climbs, I felt the bike's 30-pound heft, especially during some unrideable hike-a-bikes, when I had to sling the frame over a shoulder. But it was worth it. Those painful ascents lead to some tight, near-vertical descents. I blindly followed riders ahead of me, not always able to anticipate the deep ruts, off-camber sandstone slabs and sizeable drops. This is when all the Trigger's details came into focus. Even when I rolled into these features with too little, or too much speed, the bike always continued ahead unfazed. The stiff frame, precision steering, big wheels and finely tuned shock reacted to and absorbed everything in its path, with little rider input. It felt controlled and stable, and responded quickly when I did need to abruptly change lines or lift up the front wheel. It erased my mistakes instead of amplifying them.
After three rides, I've found plenty to praise with only a few concerns. But I still need to spend more time on the Trigger 29, in more diverse conditions, to fully understand the bike's strengths and potential drawbacks. But I suspect I have yet to experience all this model has to offer. Check back for a full report, and for our review of the 26-inch version.

It's here! The Summer issue of High Voltage Magazine has arrived featuring Imagine Dragons, Beecake, Bastille, Deluka & more. Order your copy here - only $5: http://www.iamhighvoltage.com/backorder.html
You'll all want to pay close attention to this… Start following OvertureCon. Especially you music lovers, ComicCon / MorrisonCon lovers, etc.
A Few Words from OvertureCon Founders
Sabrina Greenwood-Briggs and Stacey Lawson
We've followed the bands we love on Twitter and Facebook, connected with other fans all around the world and evangelized the albums, tours and bands that we wanted the world to discover. In short, we are fans who…
Forgot to post this gem from the House of Blues red carpet during Sunset Strip Music Festival of Marilyn Manson. (Taken with Instagram)
Got an epic shot of Taylor & Zac from tonight's Hanson show at Lake Mission Viejo. (Taken with Instagram)
Getting things ready for the High Voltage party tonight. See you at TRiP in Santa Monica, free! (Taken with Instagram)
What you see above is an average musicians wallet that tours full time(by average I mean not headlining or co headlining). I am here writing this because I feel like a lot of people have a misconception of how the music industry works. To be quite honest, I am home from tour right now and broke, I have bills to pay and am struggling to find a job. Its just the sad reality of what the industry has come to.
Shouldn't a musician live in comfort? No I'm not saying I want to be rich… I just want to be able to get by with out stressing about how I will eat or pay for bills… The truth is I make less then the average homeless guy on the street asking for money. Ive been living like this for 2 years now…
The main issue I come across daily is dealing with the fact that I am basically an artist who makes little to no money for my art. My art is my passion, Its my pride… Its honestly all I have… I dropped out of high school because I thought I would make it big one day and be set. Well hey, It happened! BUT I was in for a rude awakening…
Many are probably wondering.. "Why doesn't your label pay you?". Well in reality they do! We must first pay everything back from tour support or for recording and distribution. I am thankful to be a part of a label who is willing to help a smaller band such as mine if we have issues, Not many bands have that but whats left after that cut could virtually be about $200 per member every 3 months and thats if you even split it, You might have to cover repairs or money that needs to be paid back.
The day I signed a contract the only thing that changed in my life was that I had to write an album in a month, Fly to Cali to meet with my label and record my vocals. No money, Just a broke drop out still… I was 21 at this point, I could have finished high school but I made a huge mistake and was now forced to get my GED. I wasted my childhood opportunity on a concept I thought to be something it wasn't, Unlike you guys… I had no one giving me direction or telling me I was doing wrong except my parents but in my eyes what did they know right?
My parents supported me along the way, I highly doubt I would even be here still if it wasn't for them. I am not saying I don't want to be where I am because I love it with all my heart… Don't get me wrong I wouldn't change sleeping in my van in wal-mart parking lots daily and meeting the most awesome kids everyday for anything!
Do you illegally download or goto a show and not support the band you like? These are things that are destroying this industry right now… My band is thankful enough that we have descent support… Others can't even afford to make it show to show… They have to use saved money. But why and when did it come to this!? When did something the world runs off of because virtually priceless?
Most opening bands make $100 and from them on up either $150 or $200 a night plus an average of 5$ to eat ALL day or catering (usually 2 pizzas per band). The average band also does about $300-$500 in merch a night ON A GOOD TOUR, which seems like a lot right when you plan every day being like that, But for instance one day you could do $500 and the next $150 and in between those two days you could have driven about 700-800 miles.
Not to mention after gas costs, You've got a van payment, A merch payment, A manager payment and you probably have repairs and an oil change to pay for as well. This virtually leaves you with no money when split between multiple members. Remember that I also said that this is on a good tour.
Its become so fickle and people have become so set on one particular sound that you could be playing in front of 400 kids and that city just isn't into your sound. You walk away doing $100 in merch, Doesn't make sense does it?
Its really sad when you think of this as a whole… The musicians suffering daily due to people just not caring about them like they used to. I only write this in an effort to wake some people up… I know I can't reach you all but the ones I do I hope I open your eyes… Buy the band you likes album and support them at their shows, a show will cost you about $30 dollars if you go and buy a band shirt. Most of the time you have a month or two to save up for the date coming to your town.
I honestly just don't want to see the music industry crumble one day because most musicians can't afford to tour anymore. Im honestly scared that the underground will be nothing in the future… So please, Don't lash at this with hate and open your eyes.. Its a sad sad thing to think of no music because I promise you, If things continue like this it will happen. Lets rise up guys! We can make a difference! Our generation is known for being pirates, Lets make a change now! We have the chance for our kids to look at our generation as the ones that saved music. Id be honored to be apart of it as I'm sure most of you are.
P.S I am in not anyway a story writer so please excuse my literature. Hope you all have a great day!
-Shawn Spann
It's the sad truth.
Was so excited to see Imagine Dragons on Jay Leno last night I thought I'd scan and share our feature on them from High Voltage's Winter 2012 issue. If you'd like to purchase a copy of this issue, you may do so here: http://iamhighvoltage.com/backorder.html
People often ask me about my username, things like "Why uncool when you're clearly cool?" or just generally wondering where it came from. Well good people, it's time to share the story…
Many years ago (we're talking 2002) I was trying to develop a new screenname for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM). I wanted something that expressed my love for music, my work within the music industry and to show my behind-the-scenes nature. I've always been a rock n roll lover and thus while watching Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous it came to me.
There's a scene between Lester Bangs and William Miller late at night on the phone where Lester tells William there's nothing cool about him and that THEY are uncool. And earlier in the movie Lester talks about the industry becoming an industry of cool. Since I started writing for music publications at the age of 14 (similar to William's character and of course Cameron Crowe himself), I felt this described me as well.
Why rockstar? Sure it may seem like a contradiction but I take "rockstar" to mean you excel at what you're doing. Since "uncool" meant being a journalist/writer in the music industry to me, I figured "rockstar" showed excellence while being music related.
And thus, Uncool Rockstar was born and my various blogs since then always entitled Musings of the Uncool. I also love that my idol Cameron Crowe now calls his website the same. Great minds think alike…
When I posted a photo of the cover of the new issue of High Voltage a lot of Ed Sheeran fans reblogged it. It got me thinking maybe I should post the article for you all to enjoy as well. So, here it is!
If you'd like to buy a copy of just this issue you may do so here (we'd be honored to have your support). This is from the Spring 2012 issue featuring Dead Sara on the cover: http://bit.ly/GRVJCz

As economic recovery continues, states across the nation are considering raising their minimum wage. Thirteen states have considered raising the minimum wage this year, while nine states already have experienced automatic hikes in their minimum wage ranging from 10 to 35 cents.
But the possibility of such a wage hike may not be important to some college students, who often take into account other factors when taking on a job.
The federal minimum wage has been gradually increased from $1.60 in 1968 to today's minimum of $7.25, where it has sat since it was raised from $5.15 in 2009.
Yet the National Employment Law Project released a December report showing that although the federal minimum wage has risen over the past several decades, its purchasing power has decreased due to inflation: if it had kept pace with a climbing cost of living, the $1.60 minimum wage in 1968 would be worth $10.58 in today's dollars.
Proponents of a higher minimum wage, like the Raise the Minimum Wage campaign, argue that more money in the pockets of low-skilled workers would result in higher consumer spending, helping to fuel a tepid economic recovery.
Those against a minimum-wage hike cite studies like those from the Employment Policy Institute, that have found that a higher minimum wage does little to help those in poverty — often going straight to teenagers — and could potentially reduce demand for low-skilled workers.
In some cases, students must work a job, either on or off campus, as the work-study contribution to their financial-aid package.
This is the case for Yale University junior Chase Ross, of Omaha, who said that his financial aid package includes a student contribution. A rise in the wage of his on campus job, he explained, could help him earn his student contribution more quickly.
But in other cases, students just want a little bit of extra spending money.
This was the case for Rice University sophomore Colin Roberts, of Kirkland, Wash., who said he began working his student job for some disposable income.
Rice University, like many schools across the country, does not set its own minimum wage, instead paying student workers at least the federal minimum of $7.25, which is also the minimum wage of Rice's home state of Texas.
Other schools, though, offer students a better wage than they could receive otherwise.
Yale — located in Connecticut where the minimum wage is $8.25, $1 more than the federal minimum wage — promises its students a minimum wage of $12 for on-campus jobs.
Larry Huynh, a Yale junior from Spring, Texas, who works as a student technician, said that he applied for his job due to the disposable income as well as the experience it offered.
Yale freshman Isaac Stanley-Becker of Chicago, who does not have a job, said that he would be interested in having a job on campus, particularly given the high minimum wage, but explained that he has focused primarily on his classes.
The work-school balance was also difficult for University of Washington junior Joon Yi, of Bothell, Wash., who said she had to cut back the time she spent working for her university's newspaper after her grades suffered. She added that she began working for the newspaper not for the money, but for the community and enjoyment the job provided.
"I'm not [working] because it pays, I'm doing it and it happens to pay," Yi said.
Yi, who also works as a minimum-wage waitress off campus, said that an increase in the minimum wage would not greatly affect her, as a large portion of her income from her second job comes in the form of tips.
Washington state is home to the highest minimum wage in the nation, with an automatic increase of 15 cents to a $9.19 minimum wage at the start of this year.

business cards! wahoo!Friday, May 15th, 2009
Thanks to Greg and the gang at Next Day Signs Express in Bethesda, Maryland for the AMAZING work on my brand new quinnep doodles business cards! They are a nice thick stock and I had the small doodle of me spot coated as well as the entire orange side for a pretty sheen! I could not be more pleased with the way they turned out and I can't WAIT to start passing them around. Last weekend while I was in Hagerstown with Jay, I stopped at the Kate Spade Outlet and got myself an orange business card holder that matches just perfectly! This is a very exciting Friday – hope everyone has a great weekend! :)

Glenn Kenny, Special to MSN Movies
"Man is not an animal!" That is the impassioned avowal of one Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who is the title character, I think, of writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson's new movie "The Master." I say I think he's the title character, and there's good evidence that he is -- other characters in the film refer to him by that title, for instance -- but then again, the term may well refer to something larger. It's that kind of movie.
Search: More on Joaquin Phoenix | More on Philip Seymour Hoffman
And what a movie it is. It's a period piece that recreates the late '40s and early '50s in almost microscopic detail while almost never offering a panoramic, ostensibly contextualizing perspective on those times. It's a visually bold movie, shot with a camera that exposes a film frame nearly twice as big as 35mm and captures an attendant increase of detail, but also a movie that values the intimate close-up far more than the conventionally impressive wide shot. It's a movie inspired in part by a real "master" and the religion he founded. Yes, Lancaster Dodd bears many similarities to Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, and a number of incidents in the movie bear a direct relation to the creation of that ostensible church and the concoction of its urtext, "Dianetics" (a superb essay by Kent Jones in the fall issue of the magazine "Film Comment" breaks down the correspondences in admirable detail). But it's also less about that specific set of beliefs than about how humans rely on belief systems in general to try and lift themselves out of an elemental rage, and to assert, yes, that man is not an animal.
But what if man is an animal? That's the question, or a question, posed by Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix), the first character we meet in the film, the man-animal who is to be Lancaster Dodd's counterpart. Harmless enough, and even maybe a little poignant in repose, the sex-obsessed Freddie, who's taken a wartime "Dear John" letter harder than most, is a real pistol when he's got a few in him, and he'll go to great lengths to get a few in him; one of his first actions in the movie, when he's on a destroyer in the Pacific as the end of World War II is announced, is to cut the fuel lines in some no-longer-needed torpedoes to drain them of grain-alcohol fuel. Stateside, he gets a job as a department store portrait photographer, and the haunting kitsch factor of such items is evoked by Anderson with ruthlessly accurate alacrity, evoking a spell of familial self-mythologizing that's broken by a scene of Freddie, drunkenly assaulting a patron, that plays like a brick going through a plate glass window.
Freddie seems well down the road to perhaps a typical drunkard's death, expiring in a ditch somewhere, when he drifts down to a pier and hops on a departing yacht on which he sees cheerful revelers. The next morning, its captain, the portly, voluble Dodd, observes that Freddie's anti-social, aggressive demeanor derives from his consumption of alcohol. Freddie smirks, but as it turns out, Dodd is no teetotaler. Rather, he asks Freddie to recreate one of his potions, with which he apparently delighted Dodd during his blackout night before. Freddie, not unhappy for a place to stay, obliges, availing himself of both the ship's liquor cabinet and its cleaning supplies, oy. (The shot in which Freddie quite casually downs the contents of a bottle of Lysol is one of the most jaw-dropping moments in a movie that abounds with them.)
And so, Freddie is introduced to the master, a self-described philosopher who espouses "The Cause" and believes he can solve Freddie's, and the world's, problems via said cause. Once the outrageously misbehaving Freddie (who, among other things, bluntly and grossly hits on Dodd's adult daughter mere days after she's wed) sits down for "processing" with Lancaster, he proves himself a seemingly exceptionally apt pupil. But Dodd's devoted, steely wife, Peggy (Amy Adams), has her doubts, as do some of Dodd's more overtly respectable disciples.
The story of "The Master" does not move to any kind of conventionally revealing climax. Rather, Anderson walks the viewer through a series of scenes that bring the characters a step forward, a step backward, a step sideways, always maintaining a sense of awful tension that seems as if it could spin itself into a frenzy at any second. Phoenix, slimmed down to the dimensions of a live wire for his role, makes Freddie a compellingly watchable embodiment of human tragedy at its most mud-wallowing loathsome. Hoffman, a longtime collaborator with the director, is absolutely magnificent as Dodd, a bluff man whose air of absolute assurance doesn't quite mask an unquenchable longing for something he knows he'll never have. Adams is all business -- very odd business -- as Dodd's wife, and Laura Dern is very aptly used as one of Dodd's more fervent patrons.
These are merely the firsts among equals in the magnificent cast of a movie that just teems with magnificent, uncomfortable moments. A jailhouse scene that frames Freddie and Lancaster in just-so positions that honor "realism" while laying on some symbological weight, and then has each character do his "thing," is an instant classic. The filmmaking here is so spot-on spare, so distilled, so ramrod powerful that it makes Anderson's wonderful "Boogie Nights" look a bit overbusy by comparison. And Johnny Greenwood's score is as pointed as his work for Anderson's "There Will Be Blood."
"He's just making it up as he goes along," one character says of Dodd's "Cause" late in the film. "The Master" doesn't condemn Dodd for that; in fact, one takeaway from the movie is that that's exactly what we're all doing. And "The Master" is an object demonstrating just how terrifying/exhilarating that state of being tends to be. Quite possibly the movie of the year, or the decade.
"The Master" opens in LA and NYC on Sept. 14. It opens wider starting Sept. 21.

By doing this you will be helping yourself and serving the community by not pushing actual tutorials to the second or third or more pages with requests, also that way tutorial makers can conveniently look in this thread and see if there are any topics that they'd like to tackle.
I will move some of the existing requests into this thread over the course of the next few days, but from now on all requests must be made in here, or I will delete or move them.
This is your introduction and warning, so please everyone lets try to keep this place clean and easily navigable by posting requests here.

Tutorials Tips and Tricks needs you to stay alive!"
Hey all,
I'm looking for a basic intro to painting enviroments. Any interesting articles or tuts out there?
Hey guys. If you got the time on your hands I'l love to see a tutorial for drawing/painting a poison dart frog in PS. with lighting etc. I'm a fan of the bright colors and combinations, the wet skin, and how the light hits it in different spots. I think it would be really worth while to learn.
something link this coloring. There are other posion dart frogs, but I'm more of a fan of this lightening blue color, and the wide variety of spots.
now that I mention in, the wet rocks would also be cool to learn how to draw. But that's more of a secondary request.
Looking for Corel Painter tutorials, I prefer vids but text will do too
A nebula tutorial would be great...i can't find one that explains how to make that gassy edges.
Hey guys I just wanted to stop by here first and throw a much needed request out there
I am looking to utilize a work flow similar to Ben Mauro's stuff
I had a friend Ahmed at CCAD who worked almost the same way before he transferred to Art Center, he was going to show me a similar style but left before he had a chance
I am looking at this piece in particular http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mhHTV3WY7L...SPA_01b_BM.jpg
it looks as though a rough to tight pencil sketch is completed then thrown in photoshop to be painted over. I understand that much, but my question is, at what point do you actually start painting over the pencil drawing, ala washes of color? or is all done underneath the pencil drawing layer that is probably set to multiply?
I really love this look, and love how it takes the sketch and flushes it out to a beautiful painting. Design studio press's Alien Race is full of work like this, but I can't seem to find any tutorials explaining this process. I have seen a bunch that show rough sketches in photoshop then moving directly into paint, and I have seen the polar opposite, with comic book coloring, in which a pencil drawing is inked then colored.
I hope this isn't too specific of a request, but I feel like there is some trial and error in my future, but I am just looking for a " paint underneath the drawing until you have solid color, then add a new layer on top of the pencil sketch etc" or something in that flavor.
This must be a common technique at art center because I see a lot of student work that looks this way
thanks guys
Hi, I'm new here so I'm not sure how this all works. If this is the wrong thread or something then I'm sorry. I was wondering if anyone could help me or give a little bit of advice.
I (like everyone here) wish to create concept art/game artwork, but I'm currently very limited with what I'm capable of drawing.
Right now, my main inspiration is Portal 2 concept art, but I've tried (and failed) to draw debris.
This is an example of my recent artwork: Portal 2.
As you can see, the ground looks much to clean for a place thats supposed to be falling apart.
This is what I'm aiming for: Portal 2 concept art
I've tried many times to draw rubble, debris etc but have no idea where to start.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
I am in the process of trying to teach myself a solid overview of 3d modeling and animation, using 3DS max. I am a uni student, so I have access to it for longer than the 30day trial.
So far, I have been watching Digital Tutor's and lynda.com's Intro to 3ds, and a gnomon here and there (all FANTASTIC!!! Worth every penny!). I am a fine artist with experience doing realist painting and sculpting, so modelling and texturing make sense to me; I just have to spend a few months learning the software, memorizing hotkeys and what does what, setting up a logical workflow and starting to build a portfolio.
Animation, I am clueless. All of the beginner's tutorials are either stuff that is completely obvious, or stuff that whizzes right by me.
Vid 1: "Here's your ball. Move it here and hit record, then hit playback. Your first animation!"
Vid 2: "Now you want to adjust your control curves using an IPO graph to freeze your rig and create an animation in tandem to help make the model animation friendly." Me: WAIT WAIT WAIT AAAGGGHHH *googles frantically, finds nothing, shakes fists in air*
Is there ANYTHING between that? Im looking for something that goes over the basic principles of 3-D animation in depth, from start to finish in a complex process, going far beyond "this is your bouncing ball!", explaining terms, concepts, what and why they're doing in a simple step by step process, explaining it like Im a complete idiot the whole time. (Using 3ds or maya would be great, but I really am just looking for the basic principles.)
[@hellsplumber - get lots of pictures of debris and rubble and rocks, and copy them until you learn how they work/could draw one from imagination. That's it really, for drawing anything and everything. There aren't any actual shortcuts in drawing. ]
Hi everybody. WOuld love to know if anyone can teach me how to setup a picture of a movie still for making a digital painting study of it.

Agnostic Front at Power of the Riff, 2012 (more by Greg Cristman)
After saving This is Hardcore Fest by filling in, Agnostic Front sit atop the first round of announced bands at East Coast Tsunami Fest 2014. The initial lineup posted on Stereokiller not only includes the NYHCers, but bands such as Ignite, Sick of it All, Cro-Mags, and. . . Obituary. Makes sense when you think about it. Anyway, the fest takes place on September 26 through September 28 at Reverb in Reading, Pennsylvania. Ticket information will be announced soon. Full lineup below.
Agnostic Front and many other hardcore bands, including Bad Brains, Gorilla Biscuits, Bold, Born Against, Judge, Misfits, Murphy's Law, Quicksand, Rorschach, Sheer Terror, Sick of It All, Youth of Today and still more, have also been interviewed for the new book NYHC: New York Hardcore 1980-1990 that's coming out on Bazillion Points in November. The Tony Rettman-authored oral history takes on the formative decade and apparently goes pretty deep. According to Bazillion:
Tony Rettman's ambitious oral history captures ten years of struggle, including the scene's regional rivalries with D.C. and Boston, the birth of moshing, the clash and coming to terms of hardcore and heavy metal, the straightedge movement, and the unlikely influence of Krishna consciousness.That thing must be longer than John Joseph's resume.
Full East Coast Tsunami Fest lineup, along with classic Agnostic Front (plus Sick of it All and Gorilla Biscuits) live footage, below...

Sick Of It All announce LP & show with H2O; This is Hardcore underway in Philly (related NYC shows this weekend too)
Sick Of It All at Rev25 (more by Rebecca Reed)
NYHC vets Sick Of It All have announced that they'll release their tenth album, The Last Act of Defiance, on September 30 (album art and tracklist below), and will play a hometown show soon after that on October 4 at Irving Plaza with fellow NYC punk vets H2O as well as Pennsylvania's Wisdom In Chains and White Collar Crime LLC. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Meanwhile, if you're headed to Philly (or already there) for This Is Hardcore (which began yesterday, 7/24), you can also catch Wisdom In Chains there on Saturday (7/26). A ton of other great bands have still yet to play too, like Converge, Blacklisted, Title Fight, CIV, Bold, Nails, Madball (with guest ex-guitarist Matt Henderson making a special appearance), Power Trip and plenty more. Remaining day-by-day lineups for TIH, below.
If you're not headed to This Is Hardcore, you can have your own mini TIH celebration in NYC this weekend. Xibalba, who played the PA fest last night, play a free show Saturday (7/26) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar with Harm's Way, The Banner and Crushed (Trap Them and Coliseum just played the same venue). And, as discussed, UK vets Subhumans are coming over for TIH and playing Le Poisson Rouge on Sunday (7/27) with long-running NYHC band Sheer Terror, as well as White Collar Crime LLC (fka White Collar Crime) and Mischief Brew. Tickets for that show are still available.
SOIA and Sheer Terror's fellow veteran New York hardcore band Cro-Mags also recently announced a tour, NYC show at Saint Vitus included, which just went on sale.

Ceremony at Warsaw in 2012 (more by Joe McCabe)
As mentioned, ever-evolving punks Ceremony are set to play this year's This Is Hardcore festival in Philly (they play on 8/10) alongside Kid Dynamite, The Suicide File, Modern Life Is War, Judge, Blacklisted, Tragedy, 7 Seconds, Paint It Black, Code Orange Kids, Nails, Defeater, No Redeeming Social Value, Gwar, and more. Head to TiH's site for tickets. Updated lineup and schedule below.
Around the time of that festival, they'll be doing some other East Coast shows with Baltimore post-punk duo Ed Schrader's Music Beat. Those shows include one in Brooklyn on August 17 at 285 Kent, one in NJ on August 14 at Asbury Lanes, and a little farther out from NYC, they'll also play The El 'n' Gee on August 16 in New London, CT, but it might be worth the drive considering Joyce Manor and Glocca Morra are on that bill too. (It's also a day after Joyce Manor play a free NYC show at House of Vans with Kid Dynamite, Red Hare, and Swearin'). Tickets for the 285 Kent and El 'n' Gee shows go on sale Friday (6/21) at noon, and tickets for the Asbury Lanes show are on sale now.
You can also catch Ed Schrader's Music Beat in NYC even sooner at Death by Audio on June 28 with The Hussy, Barkley's Barnyard Critters (feat. Brian Gibson of Lightning Bolt), and Shark Muffin. Admission for that show is $7 at the door.
Ceremony have a few other coming shows, like one of those free Converse shows in San Francisco, which they'll play on June 27 with Suicidal Tendencies, Rocket from the Crypt, The Bronx, and the Shrine. All dates are listed, along with a few videos, below.

Sick of it All / Chain of Strength @ Irving Plaza, 10/12/2012
The second night of the Revelation Records 25th anniversary (on 10/12) featured a headlining appearance from the recently added Sick of it All, along with sets from the reunited Chain of Strength (who played Acheron), NJ's Mouthpiece, DC favorites Damnation A.D. plus Popeye of Farside, who opened the evening with a solo performance. The show marked the halfway point of a four night stay at Irving Plaza (pics from the first night HERE).
Meanwhile, Friday night also featured another Revelation-related show, a sold-out appearance of night one performers On The Might of Princes at Saint Vitus.
More pictures from Rev25 night two are below.

Chain of Strength played Acheron w/ Clear & Creem (pics, vid), play Irving tonight with Sick of It All
Chain of Strength / flying trashcans at Acheron 10/11/2012
Chain of Strength played Acheron last night (10/11) joined by support from Clear and Creem, a prequel to their two-night stay as part of Revelation 25. As expected, the lines at Acheron were massive by the time door hit at 11PM, with Brooklyn's Creem hitting at 11:30 sharp and the entire affair all wrapped up by 1:30AM. The room was wall-to-wall stagedives, X'd-up hands and energy for the entirety of their set. Pictures and video from Acheron are below.
Sick of It All is scheduled to headline Irving Plaza tonight (10/12) as part of the second night of Revelation 25, joining CoS, Mouthpiece, Damnation AD and Popeye.
Meanwhile across town, the punk antidote to Chain of Strength was playing Lulu's: Japanese noise-punks D-Clone with Perdition, Nomad, Bortgang and more. Who went?
More pictures / video from Acheron are below, along with set times for the remainder of the Revelation shows.

Sick of It All at Webster Hall in 2011 (more by Kurt Christiansen)
When word got out that Sick of It All and Cro-Mags would co-headline a show at Webster Hall on Friday July 6th as part of the CBGB Festival, my water almost broke. I didn't even bother to wait and see if BV could somehow sleaze my bald ass into that sucker; I toddled over to Ticketweb and did the right thing and ponied up for a ticket. Your man Klaus was PUMPED. However, as you may or may not know, your man Klaus is sort of a mess in the old mental-stability department and on the day of the show I had an attack of the old agoraphbees. And it wasn't because of what the show was; it could have been a show featuring Devendra Banhart fluffing pillows and I still would have succumbed to the agoraphobic explosion occurring in my brain. So rather than put myself in a loud, sweaty, crowded room I opted to stay home curled up in a ball in the middle of my living room floor. As a matter of fact, the ticket for the show is literally still sitting in my bag.
As it turns out, my attack of agoraphobia may have been more a prophecy than a sign of my own mental weakness. For, as you all must know by now, the show was called off when Harley Flanagan went on an alleged rampage of alleged self-defense (depending on who you talk to), that resulted in stab wounds and bite marks. What luck! So the show was cancelled and everyone had to go home. I've been wondering since then if Webster Hall, Ticketweb, or the event organizers would make up for the fact that nobody got to see the two bands that clearly everyone was there to see. And then, WHAM, the following message landed in my inbox today:
Thank you for your patience in waiting for this rescheduled date.I know Cro-Mags are basically hardcore legends, and I am sure I am going to get raked over the ever glowing comments coals for saying this, but I'd take CIV over them any day. So for me, even though no other bands have been announced on the line-up (Quicksand?) (Please?), this is already a more than adequate make up date. See ya there!
Sick of it All is psyched to announce the rescheduled date for the missed performance on July 6th.
On September 7th, we'll be joined by our good friends and New York Hardcore legends CIV(!!), at Webster Hall with very special guests.
Due to the unfortunate events that resulted in the postponement, the Cro-Mags will not be playing.
All tickets purchased for the July 6th show through Ticketweb will be changed into WILLCALL list tickets, which means your name will be on a list at the door, and you just bring your ID - not your original ticket. Previously purchased tickets will be handled this way to avoid issues with the many people that may not have their original ticket.
If you have already received a refund, you will NOT be on the willcall list and your barcode has been invalidated on your existing ticket.
New tickets will be on sale Thursday (August 9th) at 10am at Ticketweb.
If you are unable to attend and would like a refund, please email email@example.com - refund requests must be received prior to August 17th.
Got a question? We're here to help. Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com

Harley Flanagan says he was invited to Webster Hall & jumped; John Joseph issues statement, says he's a liar
As we were saying, original Cro-Mags member Harley Flanagan told website NYNatives that he was acting in self defense when two members of his old band were injured by him at Webster Hall on July 6th. NYNatives since posted Harley's entire statement...
"According to Harley, he was invited to the dressing room back stage and instead of being welcomed as he expected he was jumped by a group of men. "When I saw that door get pulled shut I was literally fighting for my life. I was afraid these guys were going to kick me half to death, roll me down the back steps and that no one would see it... and there would be no witnesses and that would be that....and all I could think about was getting home safe to my kids...I wanted to save my life, to protect myself and these guys were trying to do me in."Current Cro-Mags frontman John Joseph, who was also in that dressing room, has since issued another statement that starts with the line, "[Harley's] been watching too many sci-fi movies." The rest below...

John Joseph addresses the crowd @ Webster Hall Friday night - 7/6/12 (video below)
Before things took a turn for the worse and got all stabby, Webster Hall hosted performances from Vision of Disorder, Sai-Nam and Absolution as part of a five band bill that would have also included Sick of It All and Cro-Mags if the CBGB Festival Friday show didn't end early. Pictures from the relatively peaceful opening to the show are in this post.
As discussed, things got ugly when ex-Cro-Mags bassist Harley Flanagan, who is known for not being happy that Cro-Mags continue without him, allegedly assaulted current Cro-Mags members with a hunting knife before the Cro-Mags set. Harley has been charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
John Joseph and his version of Cro-Mags (that was scheduled to play Webster Hall but instead got cut) issued the following statement:
WE... as a band are truly sorry for the way it all turned out in every regard even the ex-member who's family is now effected by his choices. Our prayers go out to them as well as Mike C., and the others who were hurt, but it was 'his' choice to come to our concert with a hunting knife, standing by our dressing door. Who knows what his actual intent was, obviously he wasn't there with it to cut bread for a peace offering as he was heard saying outside he was putting an end to us playing without him. Let's move on now & stop the trash-talking. Keep that PMA - that's what we are all about.PMA indeed.
That's a picture of John telling the Webster Hall crowd that the show is over on Friday. You can watch video of it below.
The NY Times talked to John too:
John Joseph, the band's lead singer, said that Mr. Flanagan had been at odds with other members of the Cro-Mags since he left the band in 2000 and had not been permitted to rejoin.The NY Post points out:
"This dude has been a negative thorn in the side of this band forever," Mr. Joseph said. "I hope he gets what's coming to him."
Few bands were as energetic as the Cro-Mags during the heyday of the Lower East Side hard-core scene in the mid- to late 1980s. Their first record, "The Age of Quarrel," featured an illustration of a mushroom cloud on the cover and driving songs with shouted lyrics about existential fear and the limits of anarchism.
In many ways the songs were a reflection of the world as seen by Mr. Flanagan, who left school at an early age and began hanging out on the decaying streets of the Lower East Side, where rent was cheap, abandoned buildings proliferated and the drug trade flourished.
The hard-core scene gradually become less visible, said Clayton Patterson, a photographer on the Lower East Side who has documented many of the bands, but it has experienced a revival in recent years.
The crowd was waiting for the Cro-Mags on Friday night when Mr. Flanagan darted from the dressing room while yelling something that onlookers could not make out, according to a spectator, Elie Perler, 30.
Joseph warned CBGB Festival organizers that Flanagan wasn't wanted, but he wound up obtaining a press pass.For those people that "don't believe the hype", somehow have faith that this is one big government conspiracy, or that it actually wasn't Harley Flanagan that attacked two in the VIP area at "Weber Hall", you can contribute to the Free Harley Flanagan fund. 119 days to go on this crowdsourcing effort and they are currently at 0.988% towards their $50k goal. Good luck with that one.
"Get somebody on the door who knows what he looks like," Joseph said he warned. "They didn't take that threat seriously."
If you missed Vision of Disorder, you can catch them in NYC again at Music Hall of Williamsburg on November 24th, tickets go on AMEX presale at noon on Wednesday (7/11) and regular sale on Friday.

former Cro-Mag Harley Flanagan arrested for alleged Cro-Mags stabbing at Webster Hall Sick of it All / Cro-Mags show
by Fred Pessaro / BBG
Harley Flanagan is wheeled out of Webster Hall (via NYC Hammers)
To follow up our vague tweet last night, the NY Post has the full story:
A former member of the hard-core punk band the Cro-Mags attacked two of the group's current members with a hunting knife in a dressing room before a show at Webster Hall yesterday -- biting one and slashing both.The show, part of the CBGB Festival, was shut down before either Sick of it All or Cro-Mags took the stage. Its a sad day for New York Hardcore. This unity that everyone speaks about? PMA? The time for that is now.
The band was about to take the stage about 8:15 p.m. when tattooed rocker Harley Flanagan, 42, barreled through the East Village venue's VIP section toward the Cro-Mags' dressing room, sending nearly 30 guests on the balcony into a frenzy, law enforcement sources and witnesses said.
"Someone was yelling, 'Get his hands, get his hands, he's got a knife!' " witness Dave Gustav said. "Everything went nuts."
Several beefy security guards rushed to contain Flanagan, who seemed about to boil over before he entered the East Village venue.
...Flanagan, the band's former bassist and founder, suffered a broken leg by the time security finally pinned him down, witnesses said. Cops handcuffed him to a chair and took him out.
"People started booing him and throwing stuff at him," eyewitness Justin Brannan said. "His hands were handcuffed but he still gave everyone the finger."
William Berario, 45, was slashed above the eye and bitten on his cheek. Michael Couls, 33, -- the band's current bassist, who is known in the hardcore world as "The Gook" -- was cut on his arm and stomach. -
[NY Post]
Harley, who did the stabbing, is an original member of the band that formed in 1981. John Joseph, also an original member, leads the current version of "Cro-Mags" that Harley is not in, and which John was calling "Cro-Mags (jam)" for a bit in 2008 to avoid confusion with a version of the band Harley was leading (or for legal reasons or something like that). John's version, which didn't keep the "(jam)" on their name for long, has been having much success the past few years, this CBGB Festival booking included. Harley's version hasn't been active in a while
UPDATE: Here are pictures from the show and a statement from Cro-Mags too..

Is this flyer real?
The above flyer recently popped up on Facebook and though there is not any concrete confirmation on the dates, it seems to go along with recent reports of a set of NYC shows to counter-balance the 25th Anniversary spectacular on the West Coast. No word on who may play the event, the significance of the "X" (other than the obvious straight-edge connection), but rumors have names like Quicksand (who reunited for the celebration), Chain of Strength, and some of the other usual suspects from the recent Pomona shows. Fingers crossed.
Check out some recently surfaced video of full sets by Sick of it All, Youth of Today and Quicksand from the California shows below alongside an old Chain of Strength set from the 90s.

The star-studded end to Down's set
With all of the drag queens, bikini-clad girls, and slow-rolling neon cars blasting hip hop, it would be perfectly understandable to mistake East 7th Ave in Ybor City for another Saturday night on the strip. Yet the clubs of East 7th had been invaded by the the black-shirted, devil-horn weilding crew: the fourth-annual Scion Rock Fest was in town.
Ybor City is located north of downtown Tampa, Florida and was the site of 2012's edition, boasting names like Sleep, Merzbow, Oxbow, Repulsion, Sick of it All, Suffocation and many others across four stages (The Orpheum, CZAR Bar, Crowbar, and The Ritz). Though I never made it over to the Orpheum, I saw my fair share of incredible performances across the remaining three stages, many of which will likely never happen again.
Thoughts on Scion Rock Fest 2012, pictures, and video from many of the sets are below.

Now we really know what's going on. The CBGB Festival is happening July 5 - 8 at some 30 venues across the city, with over 300 bands participating, including the previously mentioned free Guided by Voices, Pains of Being Pure at Heart, and Cloud Nothings show at Summerstage (which now also includes The War on Drugs), the The Baseball Project and Craig Finn at City Winery, L.A. Guns at Highline, the Cro Mags, Sick of it All, Vision of Disorder, Absolution, and Sal Naim show at Webster Hall, and D Generation's Bowery Electric show. Newly added artists include Rocket from the Tombs, MEN, PS I Love You, Reggie Watts, Gary Lucas, Weekend, and more TBA. The full list of currently confirmed artists is below.
It's also a film festival with both new and classic rock films/docs, including the world premiere of The Rise and Fall of The Clash, plus American Hardcore, Color Me Obsessed: A Film About The Replacements, The Dead Boys - Live at CBGB/OMFUG 1977, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Kurt Cobain About a Son, The Sacred Triangle: Bowie, Iggy & Lou 1971-1973 and more.
In addition, they've added a CMJ/SXSW-like music industry conference with panels/workshops concerning the music industry, independent artists, and a CBGB "Tales from the Club" panel each day. All conferences take place at the Sunshine Cinema and East Village Cinema. The festival also closes with the "distilled spirits fest" at Beekman Beer Garden on July 8.
There are variety of badges available too, from music and film showcase badges to one that get you into everything (or potentially at least...badges don't guarantee admission). The press release we got claims badges have been on sale since May 7 but this is the first we've heard about it. Regardless, early bird prices on music showcase badges is $69 and runs through May 31. It jumps to $79 if you buy before July 4 and walk-up badges once the fest starts are $89. Film fest badges are $99/$159/$219 for earlybird/regular/walk-up. You can also get a music conference badge which gains you entry to the showcases, workshops, and panels, and a music/film combo badge which gains you entry to all of that plus the film screenings. Full details on the vast array of CBGB Festival badge options are at their website. What this means to people who already bought tickets to individual shows already but want a badge too, we're not sure.
A list of all confirmed bands, films, conferences, and participating venues is below.

Lou with Refused at Terminal 5 (more by BBG)
As originally discovered back in January, and further confirmed in Summerstage's 2012 schedule (but previously with no artists) CBGB is throwing a festival...
The four-day festival is scheduled to begin on July 5 and will showcase about 300 rock bands. Concerts will take place at around 30 places, from large stages like Central Park Summerstage and Webster Hall to small clubs like the Trash Bar in Williamsburg and the Living Room on the Lower East Side...A few other confirmed shows as part of the festival have emerged too. Sick of It All will join Vision of Disorder, Cro-Mags, Absolution and Sai Nam for a show at Webster Hall on July 6th. Tickets are on sale.
The festival will also stage a free concert in Central Park with Guided by Voices, the Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Cloud Nothings [on July 7]. A few veteran rockers have agreed to appear: David Johansen, a former member of the New York Dolls, has committed to do a show, as has the Baseball Project, the supergroup formed by Peter Buck of R.E.M. and Steve Wynn of Dream Syndicate. -[NY Times]
D Generation will headline Bowery Electric on July 7th with ROMANS, Brass Knuckle Evangelists and The Bamboo Kids. Tickets are on sale.
Stay tuned for more (including the full lineup announcement).

Refused & Sick of It All's Lou Koller @ Terminal 5 - 4/23/2012
Let's cut to it. I like Refused. The Shape of Punk to Come is a good record, though not quite the benchmark that its namesake suggests. I find it flabbergasting that the band, who allegedly sold 45 tickets for a show in a Long Island basement before they broke up, can pack out two nights at Terminal 5? Insane. It makes me wonder if Deadguy or Botch attract even a fraction of that attention? Why didn't hardcore legends like Youth of Today or Gorilla Biscuits? It is, as Sick of It All's Lou Koller would say later that night, an "Injustice System".
Ceremony opened the show last night (4/23) at Terminal 5. I'm a fan of their live show (and a sometime fan of their recorded output), and have seen them many times, mostly in dank DIY spaces like ABC No Rio. Unfortunately, I don't think Ceremony has figured out how to translate their live show to such a big stage and their set suffered for it, which doesn't bode well for Warsaw on the horizon. For every ounce of disappointment that I felt, I'm sure it was made up for tenfold when they played the infinitely smaller Mercury Lounge later that night when the band lit up twitter with positive reviews.
Speaking of lighting up Twitter with good reviews... I thought Refused's set was good enough, not great. Vocalist Dennis was high-energy and sashayed around stage with a Mick Jagger swagger, even doing his best Iggy Pop by standing in the middle of the crowd. The band was air-tight and played the bulk of their The Shape of Punk To Come, lighting and aesthetics were simple and tasteful, the sound was surprisingly decent... it just wasn't quite the spectacle that so many have raved about.
To make matters worse, the room seemed all be waiting for the Swedish band's admittedly stellar single "New Noise." Mosh-pits and crowd-surfing were nowhere near as omnipresent as when that memorable solo-guitar riff kicked in and then, predictably, the room exploded. Even an appearance from Lou Koller of Sick of It All to do classic NYHC material, for the second night in a row, was met with some of that disappointing indifference.
Suffice it to say, I skipped the secret Acheron show (announced that night). I'll skip Refused again when they're back with Off!. I'll go see Rorschach instead.
Check out more pictures from the second night at Terminal 5 (first is here), with video of the Sick of It All part from night one, below.

Refused played Terminal 5 w/ help from SOIA'a Lou Koller (pics, video); will again tonight (but cancelled Fallon)
photos by Jonathan McPhail
Refused headlined Terminal 5 last night (10/22). It was the first of a pair of quickly-sold-out shows at the big NYC venue, AND the band's first show on the East Coast since their split more than a decade ago. Though we didn't grab the full setlist, we can tell you it included a pair of Sick of It All covers, "Clobbering Time" and "Injustice System", with Sick Of It All's Lou Koller helping them on vocals! No video of that yet, but watch Refused playing "New Noise" with more pictures from the show below.
The second NYC show, back on sale, is tonight (4/23). Tonight was also supposed to be when the band appeared on late night TV, but they've announced that "Due to circumstances beyond our control we will not be performing on the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon show this Monday. They have rescheduled us for July when we're back in the US." The July dates they speak of hit the new Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn, and are with Off!. Off! also have a NYC date scheduled even sooner with The Coathangers (who have other shows scheduled and a new split) and Cerebral Ballzy who supported Refused at Terminal 5 last night (though we missed them).
The West Coast just had their share of Refused who played Coachella twice (check out weekend one and weekend two in pictures) and Pomona, CA and San Francisco (with the Hives who also play NYC this week).
Ceremony open for Refused tonight (4/23) and then head over to Mercury Lounge ( which is 16+ for the evening!) to play a late night show with Violent Bullshit. Tickets are still available for that and for Refused at Terminal 5.
More pictures and video from last night at T5, below...

Church of Misery at Inferno Festival (more by BBG)
Scion Rock Fest have announced their first round of 2012 bands, including some very interesting and out-of-the-box choices. Among the announced so far include the impressive Repulsion, All Pigs Must Die, Merzbow, Sleep (who just played Roadburn), Church of Misery (them too, and they play NYC soon), and Oxbow, but the lineup also includes names like Terror, Psychic TV, and Cerebral Ballzy and more... bands that seem a bit out of the ordinary for a traditionally all-metal festival entering its fourth year. The show goes down on June 2nd across four venues in Tampa FL. As always, the show is free (with RSVP that opens on 4/20 at noon).
UPDATE: Full lineup has been released, check out the flyer and lineup below.

Agnostic Front @ Santos Party House
Agnostic Front are currently out on tour with Mongoloids in support of a somewhat new record...
"My Life My Way was released on March 22, 2011. The album features 13 new powerful and anthemic songs laid down by Erik Rutan (MADBALL, GOATWHORE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, etc.) at his Mana Recording Studio in Tampa, FL under the watchful guide of producer Freddy Cricien of MADBALL. The record was mastered by Alan Douches (NILE, MASTODON, etc.)."The tour hit Santos Party House in NYC on 11/4. Some pictures are in this post. More them with all remaining dates below.
Fellow DMS crew band H2O also has a new record coming out, but not of their own songs. As their own press release reads...
"H2O has been a mainstay in hardcore and punk since their inception back in 1995 and have had many influences along the way. The band is thrilled to pay homage to those influential artists by covering their songs on the forthcoming album, Don't Forget Your Roots, which will be available November 15th from Bridge Nine Records.No Agnostic Front on the tribute album, but there is Madball, Descendents, Bad Brains and many more. The full tracklist, all tour dates, and more Agnostic Front show pictures, below...
Additionally, H2O will be playing the Gramercy Theater on November 19th [with Killing Time], with a special set consisting of cover songs and originals- both new and old. This show will be a celebration of H2O's covers album available just three days prior, as well as a re-release of their self-titled album, available on LP also on November 15th. Vocalist Toby Morse had this to say: "NYC is H2O's roots - where we started - and couldn't think of a more perfect place to release our covers album and the re-issue of our first record. We'll be playing old songs, new songs and cover songs for our fans there! They'll also be able to pick up copies of our self-titled album on vinyl - Bridge Nine is re-pressing that and we couldn't be more excited. It was originally released back in 1996 and has been out of print for a long, long time. Also Don't Forget Your Roots will be available as well!" He continued, "Our covers album is a big personal accomplishment for us - being able to pay homage to the bands that have influenced us so much since we got into punk rock and helped get us where we are today is an amazing thing. We think we've done them justice!"

Suicidal Tendencies at Terminal 5 (more by Meghan McInnis)
Announcement coming soon.Suicidal Tendencies made the above announcement on their website, and though the private show details haven't (won't?) be announced, good money would put Suicidal Tenencies at The House of Vans on 9/16 (not one of the FYF-presented RSVP-able shows though).
Vans is bringing ST back East for 3 shows.
September 16th Brooklyn (private show)
September 17th Long Island
September 18th Starland Ballroom N.J.
More info shortly...
Meanwhile, details regarding the 9/17 and the 9/18 shows HAVE emerged.... both are with Sick of It All! Tickets for 9/18 at Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ and 9/17 at Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, NY are on sale.
Suicidal was one of the many bands who avoided catastrophe at the Pukkelpop disaster last week. They wrote:
"Thanks to all that emailed and were concerned about the bands safety.All SOIA dates and some video is below.
ST is at Pukkelpop, but were set to play today, friday August 19th.
Pukkelpop, the largest festival in Belgium, is a three day event.
Needless to say, the rest of the festival has been cancelled.
Everyone in the band, crew and family, just want to say our thoughts and prayers are with all the families and friends of all the people that were hurt, injured or so sadly the 5 that passed away"

Agnostic Front @ Webster Hall
While I was checking out the brutality at Maryland Deathfest 2011 back in May (pictures from day 1 HERE, day 2 HERE, day 3 HERE, and day 4 HERE), NYC was keeping it brutal in their own way, with the 2011 edition of the Black & Blue Bowl. The show featured a headlining set from a reunited Gorilla Biscuits. We already posted those pictures, but there was also sets by Agnostic Front, Sick of It All, Terror, Absolution, Antidote, Maximum Penalty, Backtrack, Down To Nothing, No Turning Back, Take Offense, and Bottom Out. It was a serious bill for the NYHC faithful. More pictures and video from the mayhem lie below.
In semi-related news, Cro-Mags have a show coming up with Fucked Up at House of Vans. Cro-Mags played Bowery Ballroom on July 1st.
In more related news, Roger Miret (of Agnostic Front) will hit the road for a string of dates with Roger Miret and The Disasters. The week long trek is in support of the new LP Gotta Get Up Now and will include a stop at Trash Bar on August 19th. Full tour schedule is below.
Tickets are on sale now for Murphy's Law's annual Rocks Off Concert Cruise which takes place on August 10th. Hopefully they have more luck this year.

Sick of It All played Webster Hall w/ Snapcase, Merauder & Razorblade Handgrenade (pics), added to Black & Blue Bowl
photos by Kurt Christensen
Sick Of It All celebrated 25 years of New York Hardcore at Webster Hall on Saturday (3/26), playing to a sold-out Webster Hall with Snapcase, Merauder and Razorblade Handgrenade. For Snapcase, the show was their first appearance in NYC in three-plus years, since headlining Music Hall of Williamsburg as part of a Callum Roberts benefit. Snapcase currently has no other NYC dates in the near future, but those of you upset about missing out on Sick of It All are in luck; they have now been officially revealed as the special guest playing Black & Blue Bowl 2011 alongside Gorilla Biscuits, Agnostic Front, and many others. Tickets for that May 28th Webster Hall show are still on sale.
Webster Hall was an odd place to be on Saturday. The hardcore show, the Hull/Horseback/Batillus/Caltrop show at The Studio, and an "Awesome 80s Prom" were all going on at once in the mammoth venue. Pictures from the Hull show are on the way, but for now check out some more pictures and some videos from upstairs at Webster Hall, below...

I recently became a big fan of Live Well Network through watching episodes of its shows (Motion rocks!) on its website (albiet in poor quality). However, when I went to find it on the Fios line-up(Plano TX area) it was no where to be found. When trying to understand the reason why it was missing I apparently found out that while it could be found on basic digital televisions as a sub channel of the local WFAA-8 (Live Well is channel 8.3). Why is Live Well and other digital sub channels not avalible on Fios? If it's avalible on basic digital cable how can it not be avalible through my Ultimate HD Fios package, which I pay ~$100 a month for?
Probably doesn't help you, but in the NY area Live Well is carried in HD in 467 and in SD at 468. Might be some where in the 400's for you as well, but don't know. They have been using this range for some subchannels.
Thanks tns but I've checked up and down the entire channel list and can't find it. I think we have 1 or 2 of the subchannels in the high 200s - low 300s, but far from the majority of the subchannels. I've heard from some family in california that they get all their digital subchannels on Fios which only adds to my confusion/frustration. So I guess I wish I lived in the NY area for yet another reason.
If you haven't already done so, you might try the station's web page.
On the left side of the main page, at "See Us On Tv," you can choose your nearest city and find a lsit of carriers.At "About Us" and "About LWN," it says, "It is available in over 60-percent of the U.S." This isn't a veryhigh percentage, is it? But it also mentions that it's "[o]ne of the fastest growing digital networks," so that
sounds hopeful.
And here's something encouraging: "The network's website features a variety of resources, including hundreds of recipes, expert advice and complete video of each episode." So it sounds as if you could watch it on your computer until FiOS gets it in your area.
Thanks for the encouraging comments AnnJ. Yea I hope Verizon adds it soon. Nature shows like motion (on Live Well)are most awesome when seen in HD, but until they finally add it, the ipad app or website for the live well network will have to suffice.
It is embarassing that Verizon will go out of its way to add national channels, only to eliminate (and not offer) local .2 channels that are available in the community and over the air. If we are to alter our systems to receive these channels, why do we need cable?
Automatic HD, if you will. It's 2013, and you haven't been able to buy a non-HD television for at least 5 yrs now. Time to put the HD at the top of the dial instead of relegating so far down that most average people don't even know it's there (yes, that's true unfortuantely).
But a setting to default all channels to HD when there is an available stream would be great for surfing.
While I generally agree with your suggestion, I don't think any solution will be coming from Verizon anytime soon, there are still a surprising number of users out there with SD TVs, many with HD boxes (a Verizon DVR for example, is only available in HD these days).
In the meantime, the easy and effective solution is to set up a Favorites list with only the HD channels, and set your STB(s) to always use that Favorites list in the guide and when channel surfing. Maybe not a perfect solution, but certainly far better than seeing all of the SD channels by default.
"It's 2013, and you haven't been able to buy a non-HD television for at least 5 yrs now. "
But there is still a lot of non-HD programming available. Shows that a lot of people, including me, like.
"Time to put the HD at the top of the dial instead of relegating so far down that most average people don't even know it's there..."
Some people may not know, but most? I doubt that is true. That idea will make some people happy, but annoy others.
"But a setting to default all channels to HD when there is an available stream would be great for surfing."
That I agree with. The present HD option in the guide makes non-HD channels invisible which makes it a useless option for users like me.
When you choose that you have a HD TV in the STB there should be a way for the box to display the HD channel by default. For example when you choose NBC Channel 4 it should show you the HD channel.

Smyth TriBeCa
We love our New York—with a capital NYC. And yet it's a distinctly lower-case intimacy that draws us to TriBeCa, a neighborhood that gracefully refuses to make a big deal out of the big deals in film, music, fashion and the arts who thrive here. It's a low key, high style retreat—a vibe very much alive in Smyth's boutique hotel above all boutique hotels in TriBeCa New York. An eclectic home away from contemporary home, your key opens onto a spacious, mid-century residence fit for a modern-day Charles and Ray.
Thompson is thrilled to announce the renovation taking place this fall at Smyth TriBeCa, as we reimagine our restaurant and lobby. During the transition, we'll be elevating every guest's experience with exclusive access to our Penthouse and Terrace as a club lounge to ensure that your stay with us is outstanding in every detail. And do start planning now to join us this winter, as we celebrate our exciting new spaces—as always, inspired by our vibrant TriBeCa neighborhood.

Another Himalayan kingdom is falling, a chapter closing on an ancient historical tradition. But will the modern system of democracy do a better job?
Sikkim's monarchs, the Chogyals, retreated into history when India annexed their territory in 1975. Tibet's "priest-king", the Dalai Lama, was forced in exile when China invaded his land in the 1950s.
Now, after 239 years of the Shah dynasty, Nepal is set to become a secular republic on Wednesday .
In the Himalayas, only in Bhutan does a monarchy still play a significant role, and even there it voluntarily surrendered power this year to a new democratically elected parliament.
Many of these kings were once revered as incarnations of Buddha or Vishnu, some still are.
