I can carry in restaurants in my state no problem
I cannot carry into restaurants in my state by law
I realize that some are able, and some are not. Just weeding things out for a future poll for restaurant carry. I'm not discriminating in any way, I just want to pose a question to those who are able to carry inside restaurants as my state allows. Can you or can you not carry into restaurants?
Washington can. The exception is any area cordoned off for 21 and older.

Currently in Arizona if the restaurant serves alcohol, no. But it looks like a proposed bill is about to change that.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
I did not realize until I got on this forum that I could, But after it was pointed out and I reread the law I learned that MS has a 51% law.

I did not vote, because in Tennessee, the answer would be "maybe yes and maybe no." I cannot carry into any restaurant which serves alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises, so I spend my money at Cracker Barrel and Shoney's now (as well as some fast food places, as my waistline will attest ).
51% rule in Texas!!
"Do not fear those who disagree with you; fear those that do and are too cowardly to admit it" - Napoleon
MA and NH do NOT restrict ccw in restaurants or bars.
Thus it is no problem unless the gun possessor becomes drunk (crime in MA, unsure about NH).
I can't think of any restaurants that have a 51% sign. I guess I might see one some day, but so far every restuarant I've been to I could carry.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
How can I find out about Alabama's view on this?
I hate to ask this but would someone explain the 51% rule?
51% rule means that the establisment derives more than 51% of it's income from the sale of alcohol for onsite consumption therefore, making the licensed or unlicensed possesion of a handgun on the premises illegal, for those states that have it enacted.
There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.
Who is John Galt?
However, it is more of a personal problem, than a real one -- hence the "maybe."
I cannot carry concealed in any restaurant which serves alcoholic beverages for on premises consumption . However, I can open carry in one and drink. Go figure!
So, I, too, spend a fair amount of my money at Cracker Barrel, Shoney's and a few local places -- esp when with folk who might be surprised that I carry.
OTOH, when alone I'll do the "VA Tuck" and eat & have a beer, if I want. No problem.

That said, pgrass101 lives in Elmore County and his permit says that he can't carry into a place that serves alcohol. My permit in Perry County, my brother-in-law in Montgomery County, nor a friend in Tuscaloosa County has that on the permit. pgrass101 and I talked about this a while ago and decided that in reality since the Sheriff determines who gets the permit he can probably add restrictions and enforce them within his county. We both wondered what would happen if pgrass was in say Lee County and carried into a place that serves alcohol. We got no real satisfactory answer, but are pretty sure that the restriction would only affect carry in the issuing county because the sheriff cannot enforce it in another county.
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe. Albert Einstein
Since it seems unanimous so far---could you all check in to the other thread? (those who can carry in restaurants)

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) of histones—the protein spools that DNA is wound around—help regulate gene expression. Figuring out whether combinations of these PTMs make up a histone code has been difficult because of the challenge of determining multiple PTMs simultaneously. The H3 histone has such a complicated PTM pattern that analyzing intact proteins via high-resolution mass spectrometry (MS) has been insufficient for characterization. Craig A. Mizzen, Neil L.

I've run into a weird problem, where some of the users of my weblog get blank post.php pages in certain situations, and only since I installed PowerPress. The only one that I've been able to reproduce is when I add an URL to an mp3 in the PowerPress field as one of my users; this gives a blank post.php. It works when I'm logged in as myself, however, suggesting that this might have something to do with user rights.
I've recently made a very considerable move from FeedBurner with nearly ten podcasts to a self-hosted option with PowerPress and I would hate to have to stop using PowerPress as I've been very impressed with it so far. What do you think might be causing this?

Alachua County Jail Study
Alachua County is one step closer to launching a six figure study of the jail. Commissioners voted today to negotiate with the top ranked analysis firm: Pulitzer, Bogard and Associates.
The goal of the study is to determine: appropriate staffing levels, performance objectives, and the pros and cons of the county taking control, versus continuing to have the Sheriff operate the jail.
County Manager Randall Reid said, "This firm was used a number of years ago in a prior jail study, so they are familiar with the jail although the jail has been expanded since then and is also under the operation of a different sheriff, so some things have changed."
In 2005 the county paid Pulitzer, Bogard and Associates $150 thousand dollars to study the culture of the jail. The price of the new study is still unknown, although it has been estimated more than a hundred thousand.
It should be complete by the first of the year.

I wil do some more research on this, but there is also now a screen reader for the android phones called:
TalkBack. Hope that message went through... On 10/25/2009 7:08, Josh wrote:
Hello, I have an idea for a product but I am not a programmer. My idea is this.So far screen reading software for blind people which runs on Cell Phones costs an extra $300 and that does not include the phone itself. The exception to this being--the iPhone which includes a free screen reader. I would like to know where I could hire a Symbian programmer who would use already available free open source software under the GPL to create a $0.00 or free screen reader for Symbian? I choose symbian because there is a lot of software for blind people that runs on Symbian such as OCR software, free open source gps gps and more. Paying $300 for a symbian screen reader justso blind people can use their phones is unacceptable to me. I think the screen reader should be free, but none or no such thing yet exists yet for Symbian phones. So it has to be created. If anyone at the Free Software foundation or NVDA would be willing to help make this a reality by suggesting where to get started I would appreciate it. I am currently living on SSI and have very little money to donate. In order to use my symbian phone with gps I have to use an illegal copy of the $300 screen reader. I do not want to do that. The only way around this is to have a free screen reader using free packages such as multilingual ESpeak and/or Festival for speech. The free gps software Loadstone along with the commercial knfb reader run on Symbian along with other software for blind people. Again if you can suggest programmers or one or two programmers I would appreciate it.

A Healthy Exercise Routine Doesn't Have to Take a lot of Time or Money
Dec. 6, 2004 -- Think you don't have the time or money to exercise as much as you should? Think again.
A new nationwide survey shows at least one-fourth of successful exercisers have full-time jobs, young children at home, or both, and walking is the most popular form of physical activity.
The survey, conducted among more than 20,000 Consumer Reports readers, reveals the secrets of successful exercisers -- those people who most closely meet the national recommendations for physical activity by exercising at least a half-hour per day at least three days a week.
The results show that sticking to an exercise routine doesn't have to be boring or expensive, and it could be a lifesaver. For example:
- 58% of successful exercisers report doing three or more different activities per week.
- 30% of successful exercisers used a fitness facility or gym at least three times a week.
- More than half of those who worked out regularly used exercise to treat depression, a heart problem, back pain, or diabetes and said they and their doctors agreed that exercise helped a lot.
Experts say that to reap the most health benefits from exercise, you need to strive for at least 150 minutes of exercise a week, preferably spread out over five days. If you do, the health benefits include a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, some types of cancer, and dementia.
However, if your goal is weight loss, you'll need to aim for 250 to 300 minutes a week
Tips from Successful Exercisers
In the survey, which appears in the January issue of Consumer Reports, researchers polled 21,750 readers about their exercise habits.
Thirty-eight percent of the respondents were classified as "successful exercisers" and performed moderate to vigorous exercise for at least 30 minutes at least three days a week (usually more). That group includes 12% the researchers classified as "hard-core" exercisers who exercised at least five days a week and had kept it up for at least five years.
The survey showed that 36% were "unsuccessful exercisers" who did a little exercise but not enough to reap the health benefits. Many people in this group said they wished they exercised more regularly. Fifteen percent of the respondents were considered sedentary.

This is an inspirational story of Nick Vujicic. Nick Vujicic is a man who was born without his 4 limbs. Yet this is not a story of a man who is needy, but one who is so full of joy and hope that he himself brings light to people around him.
Nick Vujicic is a man without limbs. Yet Nick is not someone who is depressed, bitter or upset about what has happened in his life. In fact, he's someone full of joy and happiness in his life.
This is a great testimony for all of us to learn about making the best that we have. Nick Vujicic once said that the greatest disabilities that all of us have are not physical; guilt and fear are what cripple men the most.
And with that life philosophy, he goes on to live his life with purpose. Now, he goes all over the world sharing the gospel as well as speak in huge events and conventions.
If there was anyone that can complain about not being 'entitled' enough in life, it would be Nick Vujicic. But he chose to take what he had and maximised all of it.
We must have the same attitude to life as well. Instead of constantly thinking about what we don't have, perhaps it is time to start thinking about what we have.
People who constantly think about what is lacking in their lives will come out bitter, depressed or angry. These actually describes alot of people out there in our world, and they end up never doing anything great in their lives.
When we start focusing on what we have in our lives, we will maximise our potential by continually exercising our talent. We think about our core competencies and we focus our energies to hone ourselves till eventually, we become experts at it.
Nick Vujicic is truly a real life inspiration to all who see and hear him. I have personally seen him speaking before and he is a truly amazing person.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again, as they say. Although thirty-year-old Maria de Lurdes Pina Assunçao has been singing for nearly half her life, recognition beyond the ex-pat Cape Verdean community of Lisbon she was born into has only recently become a reality.
Key to understanding her appeal is to see her onstage, where her warm, communicative manner, hip-swivelling dances and mellow voice make for a winning combination. Good looks and a very natural dress sense don't seem to have hindered her, either. Perhaps most crucially, as part of a new wave of younger performers currently emerging from Cape Verde and its diaspora cultures in the US and Europe, Lura brings a fresh outsider perspective to the traditional music of her ancestral isles, looking beyond familiar morna and coladeira popularised worldwide over the last two decades.
'In Cape Verde there are many more styles. There is the tabanka, the mazurca, the cola, São João, and these are the kind of things I would like to explore on my next album,' she says with a radiant smile. Her third and most recent CD Di Korpu ku Alma ('Of body and soul') explores the more African side of her heritage through rhythms like the funana and, in particular, the batuku. That's meant developing a sideline in indigenous percussion instruments like the ferrinho (metal scraper) and the tchabeta, a cushion by any other name, which have become part of a live act that borders on 'edutainment' at times. With her European upbringing and background in zouk and R&B, she adds a pop sensibility all her own, which comes through in her song writing.
The most surprising thing about Lura is that she had never even set foot on the islands her parents had emigrated from until she was 21. Once there, though, things she'd heard and heard about made a lot more sense, greatly shaping her future direction. And with old school Cape Verdean stalwart Toy Vieira directing her new touring band, she's in good hands, freer than ever now to take her music to the wider world.

Felizardo Ferreira, from Angola
"Ojama It's been long since i heard music that the beat moves me from within. The fusion of african and latin beats is just phenomenal." It's not a fusion of african and latin beats. Many of the latin styles of music originated from África, that's why it looks like latin music for you. But many latin styles are actually other evolutions of these original african styles.
Fatima - Atlanta, Georgia
I saw Lura perform in Atlanta for my birthday in February 2006 and she made me so very proud of my heritage. My family living in Boston have lots of opportunities to see her perform because of the large Cape Verdean community there and I am hoping that she will return to Atlanta very soon (or anywhere within a 300 mile radius) and I will be there, front row center!

Saw and heard Lura in Malmö, Sweden. WoW! And I`ve just visited Cabo Verde!
Antoinette, New Haven, CT
She appeared in New Haven at Toad's Place and the place was jammed. She's dyn-0-mite on stage. Great talent. Cape Verde is really coming along in the world with its young talent. Priase God and God continue to bless LURA!!

We saw Lura perform in Carrboro, NC and she was amazing! Her Batuku performance was raw and powerful. It made me miss my Cape Verdean community in Pawtucket.

I love her music and the way she performe at stage. she have a wonderfull voice. i'm proud to say that i'm a cape verdian just like her.
It's been long since i heard music that the beat moves me from within. The fusion of african and latin beats is just phenomenal.
Andrea Aracy Santos.......Massachusetts, USA
There is not much to say because everyone who wrote a comment said it all. I also have seen her in concert in Boston, MA and I was very impressed with the power in her voice. It was too bad that she was in a set back since her first single "Oji un ojau" that I remember when I was younger. I believe that now she is where she should be, in the TOP. I hope that many other beatiful capeverdean voices in Cape Verde or in the diaspora is discovered as Lura was. Good luck on your career and in your life in general.

Lura is a great singer and her music goes in each ear directly!

Bevy & Ali England
We saw Lura in concert in Gloucester. She is terrifically talented, warm and funny. Great band and good on CD/DVD too. We hope she becomes a BIG start without losing her real self!
Omar "Caboswing.com" Oliveira
It is such a joy to listen and watch her perform... Capeverdean music is in good hands.
Olav Aalberg, Norway
Lura´s powerful voice and her choice of modernized traditional music from Cape Verde, and the great, but sadly, late, composer of new "batuku" style music, Orlando Pantera, deserves to reach out to a greater audience!!
Guerra Freitas
My wife and I saw Lura in concert at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, in the Chicago World Music Festival 2005. My wife and I were part of in Chicago World Music Festival 2003. In the lack of better words to describe her performance, LURA WAS EXCELLENT!
, canada
the first of a kind – superb.
Richard Dorrell
Music that is at once somehow playful and precise, and also highlighting an aspect of Cape Verde- i.e. its more Africa-descendant elements- that seems to have been almost consciously ignored so far by the West. I would, however, query why- nomination space limiting- the excellent, markedly more sedate 'Voz' by Tete Alhinho, was not nominated if only to expose the dichotomy of Cape Verdean culture...maybe next year..
Sousa - Macau
Simply the best!!!I hope to see her on stage in Asia(Macau)...All the best!!!
Julie Croom - Long Beach, California
I was blessed with the opportunity to see Lura perform at both the FORCV 2005 Indepenence Conference in Washington, DC and at the African Marketplace in Los Angeles, CA; Both venues provided Lura the opportunity to showcase her talent and ability to "connect" with the people. She is defintely an inspiration and I wish her continued success. Muti Obrigada
Elizabeth Deburgo
Simply the best around!!!!! Her music is inspirational, and inviting...cultures from all over the world will fall in love! A great entertainer who gets the entire audience out of their seats and onto the dance floor. A pleasure to see on stage as well as in person. A true blessing to the cape verdean community and worldwide.
maria harris, Boston, MA, USA
I saw Lura in concert in Boston Massachusets. She was awesome, a fesh sound to the so called music of today. i was proud to take my young nieces to see her.
humberto ramos-lisbon
just the best - I hope God bless you.
Steve Cole, Bristol
I first saw Lura on the Women of Cape Verde Tour and knew that we'd be hearing more from her. Saw her again at WOMAD Reading, and looking forward to her tour later this month. She puts on a great show, as entertaining and varied as you like. Many established world music stars could do worse than take a leaf out of Lura's proverbial book - live she really does the job!

So one of the moderators from this site helped me create a content-gallery.php so that I can use the gallery post type in twenty twelve - half the time it works fine and half of the time it gives me this irritating thumbnail below the featured image with the words "this gallery contains X amount of photos". I have no idea why this only happens half of the time but all I want it to show is the featured image (which we have turned into a link) that will take people to the gallery - seems simple enough - not sure why anyone would want an extra thumbnail and some text telling how many photos are in the gallery.
I have pasted the contents of my content-gallery.php here:
it looks to me like I can probably just cut some of that stuff out of the middle but I don't know PHP well enough to know which part to cut and which part to leave - thank you in advance for your help!

I have tried releases costing 3 times this price and have not found any as smooth or comfortable as this one. I shoot left handed which may make a difference but I would think just as comfortable for a right hander.
this is very comfortable and seems strong enough to last a good while. you cant beat the price for an american made product. i rated my expectations at 4 stars because it was held by velcro which will eventually wear out unlike a belt hold like a watchband.
Have used this release for 3 years and just bought another one for backup. Pretty sure i will get at least 3 more years from my original, The velco strap does not show a bit of wear and i use it for about 100 shots/month.
Nice and cheap, but isn't a piece of junk. No issues with accidental realeases or anything. Zero complaints about this item. Use 10+ times per day until my new bow is broken in.
Wrist straps are very comfortable compared to more expensive ones that I have. The trigger isnt too bad and would do the job just fine. Great value for money!
Excellent release, fits comfortably and has a very light trigger which is also adjustable.
First time bow hunter, lefty works good no length adjustment for big hands.
Good release

re-post: Boeing is building Ka band receivers into all new planes to leverage their ViaSat-2 satellite they build for mobile broadband. Launch date 2016. An example of new technology that will make all the technology GOGO build obsolete over time, which generally happens with technology, only problem is in 3 years GOGO still will not be profitable and there is no way they can compete with Boeing. Sorry, long term it is a sell. I am completely certain of that, as I am sure the 4 board members who left are, and all the original investors who said they wanted to liquidate their position. There is no way they could have known what Boeing was going to do when they started the GOGO venture. Now they know, and now they are selling to people like you who do not know or won't recognize the truth for whatever crazy reasons you might have. Not every investment is a forever hold long kind of investment. Things change. Less
Copy paste of same old post few hours back. Anything on a plane takes years to be tested and installed.
17000 existing commercial planes waiting for wifi, keep waiting till
Boeing might provide retrofit but they failed miserably in last attempt.
Gogo is running ahead of everyone else. The 60mbps streaming will kill via-sat market which is supposed to be in 2016 at much higher price because satcom is not free.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
We all agree that next generation technology like ViaSat-2 will take years to impact the market. At least 3 years I would say not 2. However GOGO is years away from just breaking even, and there are other competitors in the market right now. Currently GOGO is valued quite high as a speculative play with no earnings and no way to be sure they get a return on investment compared to a patented drug for example with FDA approval which you can predict. At the current cash burn rate they will burn through about 200 million in 2 years and not a single analyst thinks they will be profitable in 2 years. How would you feel about this position right now if you took 200 million cash off the balance sheet and the company was burning less but still losing 10 million per quarter ? At that point you are going to be thinking dilution or looking for "ongoing concern" statements appearing in the SEC filing. Now go out 1 more year and see how much more today's competitors are cutting into your market share with Boeing knocking on the door with game changing technology. From an analyst perspective it is tough to give this stock a long term buy and hold rating.
Sentiment: Sell
Ravi22 - Can U provide more details about your statement?
--"Boeing might provide retrofit but they failed miserably in last attempt. "
Just wondering what happened with Boeing's prior attempts and why you think they'll fail?
I agree that 2016 is too long to wait and by that time most airlines will already be signed up with GOGO.
I think KU band is better because it work over water. (international flight) I think Ku band will win .. Maybe I'm wrong and correct but that what i have been reading about Ku / Ka Band... If I"m wrong , then correct me but that what I thought.
ENT and Gogoair use KU band now. Viasat doesnt work over ocean with KA band. well we see... i need someone with more knowledge to explain does ViaSat-2 work over water.

Decentralized and dynamic behavior of peer to peer networks along with drawbacks of wireless environment necessitates the development of techniques achieving high reception rates and thus short reception times for the requestor peers. In this paper we discuss, through capacity optimization, the effects of user cooperation on the performance of a generalized wireless peer- to-peer network with additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels. At the transmitter side, we utilize either parallel downloading, where transmitters send independent file portions, or user cooperation diversity, where transmitters simultaneously send same portions of the file. At the receiver side, we first analyze no cooperation case and then consider two cooperation strategies; decode-and-forward (DF) and amplify-and- forward (AF). We compare the performances of these transmitter and receiver cooperation schemes based on the time elapsed for the worst receiver to receive the whole file. Results show that user cooperation dramatically decreases reception times of the requestor peers.

I first met NiRé All'Dai at this year's White Party. She hit the stage at one of the afternoon's pool parties and rocked the house with her electro-synth sound and high energy dancers. A while back, I debuted her psychedelic "Inside Out" music video but hadn't heard much from her since then. Now, the firey singer and songwriter has released a new dance track titled "Hella Bad" which is sure to get you moving.
If you are not a fan of big production and auto-tuned vocals, this track is definitely not for you. But, if you're looking for a sick beat and a catchy hook to add to your pre-game party playlist, this is a must-have for your Saturday night. The chorus is fun to sing along to which pumps out, "if you really want it, then say you want it bad… if you really want it, then get up on it." I personally think her previous single "Inside Out" was a lot stronger than her new track, you can't help but bop your head to it. Give a listen to "Hella Bad below and tell us what you think of NiRé All'Dai.
After a mini-hiatus, trip-hop duo 3OH!3 are back with a new single that is sure to be a massive hit this summer! I must say that this track is the most dance influenced I have ever heard from the group but I like the new direction a lot. The track serves as the lead-off for their new album "Omens" due out later this fall. I wonder if we are to expect more dance-like tracks from the two.
Members Sean Foreman and Nathaniel Motte rock out the lyrics, "I'll buy you a round, if you come close / Turn up the sound, turn the lights down / Give me a chance, I will take her home with me." Borrowing some of David Guetta's production style and tricks, the track builds up the verses slowly the reveal a bass and synth heavy chorus. The track contains a lot of energy and I know it'll land on some TV or movie soundtrack this fall. Cue the CW Network.
I actually had the opportunity to work with the group on Hellcats and they are the nicest guys ever. I hope this song reaches the success of their biggest hit to date, "Don't Trust Me." Give a listen to "You're Gonna Love This" below!
Listen to 3OH!3's new track "You're Gonna Love This" after the jump.
Jay Sean is busy getting ready for the release of his new album "Worth It All" later this year. But, instead of releasing a new track or single from his upcoming album, his camp has released a music video from his 2011 mixtape "The Mistress." The track features label mate, Tyga and definitely shows a more smouldering side of Jay Sean than we are used to seeing. If you feel like you need to be brushed up on your sex-ed, than this track is the one for you. Careful, you may need a cold shower afterward.
The video directed by Adam Wood features Jay Sean in bed with a few women but selecting one very special lady to have a sexy shower with. Although the track features Tyga, we only get a hologram version of the rapper. Overall, the track is fun enough to listen to with a visual that is moderately stimulating but frankly, not my favorite tune from Sean's catalogue. Give a listen to "Sex 101" below.
Back in 2004, Ne-Yo made a triumphant break in the music industry when he penned a track for up and coming artist Mario. The song was called "Let Me Love You" and it quickly became a massive hit. The track gave Ne-Yo his big break and soon, we were singing along to his own recorded tracks on the radio. Ne-Yo's first official single of his upcoming R.E.D. album (which stands for Realizing Every Dream) is also called "Let Me Love You," don't get it confused. His new track is anything but a slow R&B jam from the early millennium. Instead, this one is ready for the clubs.
Not straying far from Ne-Yo's newfound sound in dance music and beats, the R&B artist employs drum and bass along with glittery synths to juxtapose his smooth vocals on a track that is sure to have you fist pumping and dancing along. While the title of the song may seem long, it's lyrically perfect for the new single. The track is a little typical for my liking especially when it comes to Ne-Yo but, the Stargate and SIA produced track is sure to be a radio hit. Give a listen to his new single below.
Give a listen to Ne-Yo's new track "Let Me Love You" after the jump.
It has been a startling four years since we've heard any new music from the Las Vegas bred band, The Killers. After dazzling us with great hits like "Mr. Brightside" and "When You Were Young," the group almost disappeared into the sunset. Finally, the group has announced that they will be releasing a new album soon titled "Battle Born" and today, the first single has been released online for our listening pleasure. The Killers are back baby!
I have always been a fan of this rock/pop groups lyrics and musical style and "Runaways" is no exception. Blending perfectly their ingredients of synths, guitars, drums and frontman Brandon Flowers' vocals, you have one solid tune that doesn't shy away from the tracks we're used to from the band. Flowers sings out: "We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams, hold each other till the morning light / we used to laugh, now we only fight, baby are you lonesome now." The heartbreaking track is a great lead-off for the new album and I can't wait to hear the rest of the record. Check out "Runaways" below.
I may not be as big of a fan of Kelly Rowland as fellow writer Donovan but I have to admit, her latest album and singles have given me reason to hold her high above her "soul sister" Beyoncé. Last year, she topped charts with her sexy single "Motivation" which had all of us grinding it down to the floor. Seriously, that track is the ultimate baby maker soundtrack. Now, she's teamed back up with Lil Wayne and producer Sean Garrett to bring us another sexy song to soundtrack our slow jam summer.
Titled "Ice," the single will serve as the lead-off single to her yet-to-be named album due out later this year. As much as I love "Commander" and "When Love Takes Over," R&B Kelly is much more up my alley than dance track Kelly. The sensual lyrics and icy vocals are sure to give you shivers. Give the new track a listen below and tell us if you got goosebumps while listening.
Brian Todd Collins better known as rapper Kid Ink is a fairly fresh face to the music industry. Making his mixtape debut back in 2010 with "Crash Landing," he teamed up with DJ Ill Will which helped gain him some popularity. In 2011, he released two mixtapes titled "Daydreamer" and "Wheels Up," the latter featured popular reggae/pop artist, Sean Kingston. This year, XXL Magazine featured him in the 2012 freshman class putting him on the map as one of this year's young rap artists to watch.
This month, Kid Ink released his debut, full length album titled "Up And Away," (I sense a common theme in his album titles). The album features a long list of production collaborations. A song that caught my attention yesterday features heavy hitters Tyga and Chris Brown. It's titled "Time of Your Life" and sounds like it could easily fit on one of Brown's latest albums. The track has smooth vibe with enough beat to give you a pulse to enjoy. I personally love the track and am looking forward to previewing the rest of his album today. Give a listen to "Time of Your Life" below.
Today, dance floor trio Cascada will release their new single "Rhythm of the Night" internationally. If you think the title sounds familiar, you're not incorrect. The song was previously recorded in the 90's by Corona and was an international hit. Aside from the verses, the track is exactly the same in the chorus lyrically but the track itself stays true to Cascada's classic dance floor style and synthesizer patterns.
There is still no word on if a new album is in the works or being recorded but the trio isn't slowing down releasing a few singles here and there to keep their fans happy. Give a listen to Cascada's rendition of "Rhythm of the Night" below.
Check out Cascada's version of "Rhythm of the Night" after the jump.

All Rise...
We rescued Judge Patrick Bromley from a Laserdisc cult. The deprogramming process was grueling.
Editor's Note
Our review of Martha Marcy May Marlene, published January 30th, 2012, is also available.
The Charge
You can get away, but you can never escape.
Opening Statement
Remember when Martha Marcy May Marlene became one of the breakout films of Sundance 2011, only to pretty much disappear upon theatrical release and be totally overlooked during awards season? Now's your chance to catch up on what you more than likely missed—one of the best movies of 2011.
Facts of the Case
Martha (Elizabeth Olsen, Silent House) has just escaped from what is essentially a cult secluded in the Catskills, where she has lived for the last two years. She calls her sister, Lucy (Sarah Paulson, Deadwood), who is living a quiet, upscale life with her husband Ted (Hugh Dancy, Coach). Martha needs to stay with them. Between the rift that has developed between the sisters after not speaking for years and Martha's increasingly strange behavior and inability to adjust to normal life, questions begin to arise as to what exactly she experienced during her days in the Catskills. And who is calling the house and hanging up? And is it possible that the "stranger" in town is actually a member of the cult? Did she not escape after all?
The Evidence
Writer/director Sean Durkin's debut film, the 2011 drama Martha Marcy May Marlene, caught me totally off guard. Not because I didn't expect it to be good. I did. I remember the buzz about the movie coming out of last year's Sundance festival, and in particular the rave reviews surrounding the film's lead, Elizabeth Olsen (better known as the younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley). Yes, this was the "other Olsen sister" movie, but the positive word of mouth surrounding it had my curiosity piqued. What caught me off guard is that the movie isn't at all what I thought it would be. All that I knew about the movie is that it was about a girl who escapes from a cult, and that plot description (plus the fact that it was a festival darling) had me imagining some small-scale indie drama about a family shattered by one daughter's choices. And, yes, Martha Marcy May Marlene is that movie (in a way, at least). What I was not prepared for is that the film plays much more like an increasingly paranoid thriller that would make Roman Polanski proud.
So much of the film's power is derived from its editing. While hardly the first movie to unfold out of chronological order (a trend that became annoyingly overused for a while, thanks to the success of movies like Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects and Memento), the sequencing in Martha Marcy May Marlene isn't just a stylistic conceit. Durkin is very smart about how long to withhold certain pieces of information, letting it leak out in drips when the greatest impact can be assured. And, unlike many more conventional horror movies (not that I would classify this as a horror movie, but a case could easily be made), the movie grows increasingly tense and suspenseful the more we know. Credit to both Durkin's script and to the performances by all of the cult members—but in particular Olsen and John Hawkes (Winter's Bone) as the charismatic leader—for making every beat convincing. It's difficult for an adjusted audience to understand the choices to lead to joining such a group, but Martha Marcy May Marlene makes every moment believable; we don't agree with it, but we can see just how it happens at every turn.
Yet, as the movie unfolds, moments begin to take on possible new meanings, and it's here that I must be careful not to give anything away. The deeper we get into the events that took place while Martha was living with the commune and its impact on her life with Lucy and Ted, the more we have to question some of what the movie is showing us. Are these memories? Are they dreams? Can what Martha is seeing be trusted? I shouldn't say any more. Suffice it to say that it leads to one of the more divisive endings in recent memory, your reaction to which will be entirely dependent on whether or not you're on board with the movie's logic. I happen to love it.
Fox's Blu-ray of Martha Marcy May Marlene boasts a satisfying technical presentation, but falls a little short in the bonus features department. The movie appears in a 1080p AVC-encoded transfer that has a great film-like look, doing right by the movie's warm, sun-soaked photography and never losing detail during the darker nighttime sequences. The lossless 5.1 audio track is very effective, always making sure that the (often hushed and whispered) dialogue can be heard clearly while ratcheting up the suspense with ambient sounds and the occasional soundtrack sting. It's a good mix that's never overpowering, striking just the right balance between stark silence and mounting dread. Perfect for this movie.
The supplemental section is a major letdown. I don't need Durkin to spill all of his secrets or spell out all of the film's meanings (there is a major debate at the center of the film that I don't even want spoiled), but a little discussion or reflection on putting it all together would have been nice. Instead, the bonus features are just the standard collection of interviews and press kit featurettes that gloss over the making of the movie on such a surface level that most of it might as well have not been included at all: an interview with Elizabeth Olsen, an interview with Durkin and his producers, a very brief overview of the movie and a pretty worthless interview with a "cult expert." Also included is the movie's trailer and some footage of co-star John Hawkes performing "Marcy's Song," which is sort of effective only because of the way the song lingers in your memory after seeing the movie. The only decent bonus feature is a short film made by Durkin, "Mary Last Scene," that served as the inspiration for Martha Marcy May Marlene.
Closing Statement
After years spent raging against the machine, I've come to terms in my old age that the Academy Awards are fairly worthless barometers of what the "best" movies are of a given year. Everyone should just like what they like, and if your favorite movies win Oscars, great, but the fact that they (most often) don't shouldn't take anything away from their quality. In a more just world, Martha Marcy May Marlene would have scored a bunch of nominations (at least) for Best Picture, Best Director, actress for Elizabeth Olsen and supporting actor for John Hawkes. Unfortunately, the movie just isn't as good in the Academy's eyes as Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Their loss.
Seek this one out on DVD and (preferably) Blu-ray. Try to go in with an open mind, knowing as little about it as possible. It's a great movie, and one that audiences are going to be discovering for years to come, wondering why they hadn't heard anything about it before.

On the field: Hudson was a big part of Canadian's 27-20 upset victory over Cisco. He had eight catches for 85 yards and a touchdown, an interception and scored the final touchdown on a speed sweep. On the TD, Hudson came in motion at full speed, eluded a few defenders and then jumped in the air and spun into the end zone to give Canadian the lead.
Coach Chris Koetting: "He helps us in all three phases. He is an outstanding receiver. He's been our go-to-guy when we need a big play. Defensively, he's been outstanding at corner. He had a huge interception that helped us. He's also a good punt returner. You can see how valuable he is to our team."
Hudson: "We knew going into the game we were going to have to match how physical they were. I just tried to make a play. When your number is called you have to make a play. It was a good play."
Favorite Athlete: Calvin Johnson

Pleasing, at Calmer Pace
Niko, the stylish Japanese restaurant that opened this year on Mercer Street, has some big shoes to fill. After all, predecessor Honmura An was one of Yoko Ono's haunts.
Niko began lunch service recently, offering a calmer alternative to its dinnertime glitz. The menu adds donburi (traditional luncheon rice bowls) and new salad choices. The well-regarded sushi of chef Hiro Sawatari remains a staple.
Patrons can choose between brown and "super" rice (a four-grain blend) for their donburi ($16-$18). Try the unagi ikura—Japanese eel delicately barbecued with salmon eggs and pickled ginger. The miso-cured salmon ($24) is another piece of "environmentally sourced" fish grilled to melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The presentation of all the Niko dishes is appropriately pleasing.
An airy loft space with lots of natural light, Niko matches SoHo's exposed brick with Japanese accents. Mr. Sawatari's sushi counter is tucked in back where regulars can watch him at work.
As for Ms. Ono, she's been spotted at Niko "a few times," the staff says.
—David J. Reynolds
Niko is at 170 Mercer St. in SoHo and opens for lunch at noon daily; 212-991-5650.

Hermione Hennessy tops Irish indie chart again
There are also new entries for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & Julie Feeney.
The Hot Press Newsdesk, 09 Apr 2010
There's no change at the top of the Irish indie chart with Hermione Hennessy fending off stiff competition from The Temper Trap and Paul Brady to hang on to the number one spot with Songs My Father Taught Me (H&I Music).
There's good news too for Two Door Cinema Club whose Tourist History debut (Kitsuné) is up four places to number 5, and Bonnie 'Prince' Billy & The Cairo Gang whose The Wonder Show Of The World (Domino) is the week's highest new entry at 12.
Buoyed by 'Impossibly Beautiful' soundtracking the new VHI commercial, Julie Feeney's Pages (Mittens) re-enters the chart at number 13.
Add in the mainstream top 30 singles success Heathers enjoyed recently when 'Remember When' was picked up on by the Irish Tourist Board, and it underlines what music placement can do for emerging artists.

I'm working on a network analysis tool (academic research), and I would like to find out what DNS is used on the machine the software is running on. I'm not a network admin, and I'm wondering: what's the easiest way to find that out; across platforms (that is, on each Linux, Mac and Windows), and preferably using something that's accessible in Python?
Usually, systems seem to conveniently hide this stuff from the user -- I can set a fixed DNS, or I can use my router's settings via DHCP, or ... I'm sure there are other systems too (LDAP?). So just looking at resolv.conf may not always lead to the right answer -- or does it?
Many thanks!

I have seen many, many posts/threads about this issue but with no effective answers...
Which XML Sitemap for Images plugin is best for including images in NextGEN Galleries? I have tried numerous plugins but the images in the NextGEN Galleries are never listed - only a few images attached to some pages.
I recently switched to Yoast's WordPress SEO with an XML Sitemap feature but all it listed was the NGG tags in a separate sitemap. None of the 5 different sitemaps it generated contained any important details which should be in an image sitemap such as:-
Image Filename
Image URL
Image Title
Image Description
I am using the latest version of WordPress SEO & NextGEN Gallery.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Dec 01st, 2003
Running Time: 84
Company: Totally Tasteless Video
Cast: Penny Lane, Nick Manning, Bianca Jordan, Pamela Peaks, Sugar Kaine, Others
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
When other stock is low, recommend to those who like their women a little bit soft but not fat.
According to the U.S. Department of Health, approximately half of all American women are "overweight" to some small extent. None of them, however, appear in this latest volume of the Love Chunks series. It may be news to the casting agent but not being emaciated is not the same as being chunky.
Fortunately, those seeking pleasant shaped women whose bones don't show will find a couple of appealing options in sweet-faced and responsive Bianca Jordan as well as amiable Penny Lane, who could benefit from a few sit-ups, but is otherwise perfectly average sized. Sugar Kaine and Pamela Peaks both look great and turn in enjoyable sex scenes - but do not qualify as chunky on any level.

Narfi is a Nord beggar who lives in the ruins of his family home on the other side of the river in Ivarstead.
Narfi is insane, and dresses in dirty rags. He has gone crazy because he awaits his sister, Reyda, who has been missing for a year. He still awaits her return as the local innkeeper, Wilhelm, explains.
The Straw that BrokeEdit
Narfi will ask if the Dragonborn can look for his sister and recommends speaking to Wilhelm concerning her whereabouts. Her corpse is in a nearby river.
Contract: Kill NarfiEdit
Narfi is the target of one of the contracts given by the Dark Brotherhood. If at a high level, it would be advised to finish Narfi's quest first, since his rewards are leveled.
- Due to his quest rewards being leveled he may give human hearts, human flesh, Nirnroot, and Daedra Hearts.
- In Norse mythology, Narfi is the name of the son of Loki and Sigyn, and the brother of Vali.
- After the completion of his miscellaneous quest, he may say "My favorite drinking buddy, let's get some mead" in a normal voice.
- He becomes a potential candidate for charging up the Ebony Blade if you completed his miscellaneous quest or gave him one .
- If given one he will say, "Oh, thank you! Divines bless your kind heart!" in a normal voice as well.
- Since it is never revealed who puts the Dark Brotherhood contract out on Narfi, his death could be attributed to someone coveting his land, or simply out of pity.
- Although rare, it is possible that Narfi will leave an inheritance to the Dragonborn after his death, even if the Dragonborn is the one to kill him.

Women's Volleyball Weekly Release
Virginia record: 14-10 (3-5 ACC) Virginia record for week ending October 19: 1-1 Results From Last Week Date Opponent Location Result Game Scores Record (ACC) 10/17 Clemson Clemson, S.C. L, 0-3 12-15, 10-15, 6-15 13-10 (2-5 ACC) 10/18 Georgia Tech Atlanta, Ga. W, 3-2 15-7, 15-10, 2-15, 7-15, 15-11 14-10 (3-5 ACC)
Cavalier Notes
Fourth-year captain Amy Mitchell (Amarillo, Texas/Tascosa) finished the two-match week with 13 kills. That brings her four-year total to 979. She needs just 21 kills to reach the elusive plateau of 1,000 kills. Others members of the "1,000 kill" club at Virginia are:
Player (years) Kills Greta Jansson (88-91) 1,465 Anne Marie Hammers (88-91) 1,420 Courtney Stanton (92-95) 1,413 ... Amy Mitchell (94-97) 979
UVa did not have a player reach double figures in kills against Clemson, the third consecutive match that this has occurred. The only other time that happened this season was in a victory at North Carolina State on September 26. The last time no Cavaliers recorded at least 10 kills in two consecutive matches were in losses to Texas Tech and Maryland in 1996.
October was kind to the Cavaliers in 1996, as UVa finished our 10th month with an impressive 9-3 record. A new year has changed things a bit though as Virginia has already lost more matches than they did in October of '96. The Cavaliers are 3-4 so far this month with four matches remaining against Duke, Wake Forest, in-state rival Virginia Tech, and Georgia Tech.
Virginia's five-game win at Georgia Tech evened the series between the two schools at 10-10.
Head coach Melissa Aldrich Shelton is closing in on her first coaching milestone: her 50th career victory. Aldrich Shelton currently weighs in with 47 career victories and with three more wins can become the fourth UVa head coach to reach 50 career wins. But she also has the opportunity to reach 50 wins faster than any other coach in Virginia history. To date, Karen Uhler leads this category. She won her 50th match in her 99th game as head coach. Aldrich Shelton currently has 47 wins in 90 matches at UVa.
Duke leads the all-time series between the schools 22-3 after defeating the Cavaliers in three games at Memorial Gym on October 12...Shannon Wahlers (Phoenix, Ariz./Independence) finished with nine kills and Mary Frances Scott (Phoenix, Ariz./Xavier College Prep) paced the attack with 24 assists in the loss...the Blue Devils have won 15 of the last 16 in the series, with UVa's lone victory coming last season at Duke (October 13)...in that match, Whitney Casey led the Cavaliers with 24 kills, while Scott tied the school record (and established her career-high) with 80 assists...in Virginia's victory last season at Duke, Claire Folga (Atlanta, Ga./Marist Academy) matched her career-high with 21 kills and also registered a season-high five blocks...Virginia leads the all-time series with Wake Forest 7-4...Wake is the only other school within the ACC that UVa has a winning record against...the Cavaliers have won seven in a row after losing the first four matches in the series...Virginia has won four of the past five meetings by a 3-0 margin...Wake Forest resurrected its volleyball program last season after putting it to sleep following the 1986 season...since its re-incarnation last season, the Demon Deacons had lost every conference match until they broke through with a win over North Carolina State on October 3...only one match in the series with Wake Forest has gone five games (October 6, 1983; UVa wins, 3-2)...Virginia is 1-1 in matches played within the Tar Heel State (North Carolina) this year after a win over North Carolina State and a loss at the hands of North Carolina.
The Week Ahead The Cavaliers will take refuge from the effects of El Nino and head south yet again. The Cavaliers will take on Duke (Friday, October 24-7:30 pm) and Wake Forest (Saturday, October 25-7:00 pm) before returning home to host three matches the following weekend. Date Opponent (Time) Location Series Last Played Site UVa Result / Score 10/24 Duke (7:30 pm) Durham, N.C. Duke leads 22-3 10/12/97 home L, 0-3 10/25 Wake Forest (7:00 pm) Winston-Salem, N.C.

Given a Poisson manifold $(P,\{\cdot,\cdot\})$, its characteristic distribution $\mathcal C$ is the singular tangent distribution on $M$ generated by the Hamiltonian vector fields,i.e. $$\mathcal C=\operatorname{span} \{ X_f:= \{ f,\cdot \} \mid f\in C^\infty (M) \}.$$
The Symplectic Foliation Theorem states that:
- $\mathcal C$ is completely integrable à la Sussmann-Stefan
- each integral manifold of $\mathcal C$ brings a unique symplectic Poisson structure such that the immersion map is a Poisson morphism.
In "The Local Structure of Poisson Manifolds" A. Weinstein attributes the Symplectic Foliation Theorem to Sophus Lie for Poisson manifolds having constant rank (citing precisely the Second Section of "Theorie der Transformationsgruppen") and to A.A.Kirillov and R.Hermann in the general case.
I would like to learn more how this problem is tackled by Lie, and if there are some modern expositions (preferibly in English) of Lie's approach to this theorem?

Nice way to close out the season. Lol Minami used her summon as a shield to hide them. Nice job by himeji standing up to those guys. Nice plan by Yuuji to take them out. Liked the sequence of everyone chasing them at the end. Think i liked this season better then the first.

I thought season 1 was better, since it was more stellar and some of the jokes can only be made once. S2 was actually looking really bad when it started, like some people said in this topic before it was too much about girls just beating guys for doing anything which isn't really fun. Fortunately 2nd half of S2 returned to S1 quality.

But I would say the second season overtook the first in the second half as we dive deeper into the characters' past and the romance angle.
So I guess this would make it vol 6?
Which leaves Vol 6.5, vol 7, vol 7.5, vol 8, vol 9, vol 9.5... Basically no shortage of material.

Yeah, I've felt that this season was actually pretty good in its own way.
While the first season focused more on the jokes and the order of events was rather messy (didn't quite follow how the events in the light novel went), the second season was more on the romantic side of things and followed the events of the light novel more loyally. The flashbacks served to show more character depth on Shouko and Yuuji's history and Minami's past, which I all found very intriguing.
I certainly hope there'll be a third season, after all there's still a lot of uncovered ground from the light novel.

I'd like to praise this final episode for keeping lez-girl as an inhuman monster throughout the whole thing rather than suggesting she has any form of humanity. It made her a much more tolerable character.~
Loved the way Himeji and Shouko stepped up for the guys in this episode too. Just enough motivation for them to kick ass.~
Anywho, the season as a whole was okay. I still prefer the first season though thanks to it's hilarity, but the second season had some very nice character development. I'm not really clamoring for a third season but if one does ever come along I'd give it a watch.

Life OK's Savitri is all set to air its first episode tonight. This fantasy mega series deals with reincarnation, super natural powers, love, conspiracy and lot many elements.
In the recent candid conversation with the cast of Savitri, it was revealed that for the promo and pilot shoot, the cast and crew had to shoot under water sequence, for which professional trainer Hanif, who actually trained Aamir Khan for movie Talaash was called on the boards.
Talking on Scuba diving experience Yash Pandit shared, "Initially we were practicing in a normal swimming pool which felt like a cake walk for me. But when we went to Thailand for the shoot, I really had a nearly death experience. Fortunately we had a nice trainer Hanif, who understood me and build up a good spirit within me which made me to shoot not only 20 but 40 feet underwater."
Riddhi Dogra had a different story of amusement. "I really had a blast shooting underwater under such a great trainer Hanif; I actually wanted to stay in water forever and asked my team to leave me and go."

For me is a good idea but i don't like the way they did it. With a good art direction and a little of love it could be much better. It's an opinion.

Imagine if you could talk to your 7-year-old self, what would you tell them? In a new video created by GLHV and Minus18, they asked straight people what advice they would give to their younger selves about how to deal with LGBT people they come across in their lives.
Minus 18 is the largest support network for LGBT teenagers in Australia. Their new anti-bullying campaign is a wonderful and personal thought-provoking way to talk about this subject. The two guys featured above, along with others, talk about their experiences. The one on the right even introduces you to his best gay friend at the end of the clip.
If I could go back in time and dole my sage wisdom to my former bratty self, I would advise him to come out sooner, be nicer to his parents, avoid those two years going down the wrong path and most importantly… warn him about some heinous fashion choices 😉 Check out the awesome anti-homophobia video below.
Thoughts on the clip? What advice would you give yourself? Sound off below.
