"Switched to these from a TDK BA200 and the difference is phenomenal. I only paid about 80quid more for these than the BA200 with all the discounted sets appearing here and there.

David Cronenberg on The Fly and Eastern Promises sequels
As previously feared, it seems that David Cronenberg's intended sequels to The Fly and Eastern Promises will never happen...
Only a few days ago, we shared the news that David Cronenberg had finally found the backing he needed to get his Hollywood-set drama Maps To The Stars into production.
This came in the wake of disappointing news that the erstwhile 'king of venereal horror' was struggling to find the requisite backing for two movies, both sequels: one a follow-up to his 1986 hit The Fly (one of his few studio movies) and the second a continuation of his superb 2007 gangster drama, Eastern Promises.
In an interview with Digital Spy, Cronenberg confirmed that, sadly, both of those projects will probably never happen. Dealing with Eastern Promises 2 first, the director said it was "pretty much dead", stating that Focus Features could neither afford to finance the picture, nor could it afford to relinquish the rights to another studio.
"I do think there are other places;" Cronenberg explained, "independent producers would happily have taken the Steven Knight script, which was really good, and produced it separately from Focus even with them having distribution."
Similarly, the Fly sequel is in a similarly bleak situation, due to what Cronenberg called "Budget constraints and other things". The premise he had in mind, it seems, was rather too grand for the sort of money Fox wanted to spend on it.
"What was in it that attracted them could not be done low-budget," Cronenberg revealed. "So I think that was the problem."
Annoyingly, it seems that filmmaking economics have prevented Cronenberg from returning to the body horror genre with his Fly sequel - the kinds of movies fans of his 70s and 80s output have been clamouring for him to return to.
Might we suggest a visit to Kickstarter, Mr Cronenberg?

You can suggest a visit to Kickstarter, but as it's not easily available to Canadians, it won't do much good. Thanks, Amazon!
That's depressing. I'd pay for either of these two movies over something like Transformers 4 any day of the week.
I wonder if the sequel to The Fly would have ignored The Fly II...
In fact, DoG, you guys should do an article listing famous sequels that were ignored by future installments (think Highlander 2: The Quickening and Superman III and IV for example...there must be more...)

AVMA approves new specialty college for veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation
The AVMA Council on Education recently recommended approval of the American College of Veterinary Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation (ACVSMR) as a new veterinary specialty organization to the AVMA Executive Board, which granted provisional recognition to the college at its April meeting. The American Board of Veterinary Specialities also backed the recognition of the college, AVMA reports.
ACVSMR has grown since its formation in 2003 along with the emerging fields of equine and small-animal rehabilitation.
Organizers say two specialty categories will be offered -- one for equine and one for canine sports medicine and rehabilitation. ACVSMR leaders expect membership for the new specialty to reach 400 over the next few years.

WALLA WALLA - Robert Follis, known as the "Trainer of Champions" and coach at the Team Quest gym in Gresham, Ore., led a master MMA seminar at Calhoon's Martial Arts Studio on Saturday morning.
Fifteen participants with varying levels of experience were able to master Follis' cutting-edge physical and mental training techniques during the three-hour master class.
"Robert is an extremely well-respected coach that has trained the biggest names in the world of MMA. It's such a huge opportunity to attend the seminar, especially at such discounted rate that's almost three times less than his normal rates," said Ryan Calhoon, organizer of the seminar and owner of the studio.
Follis has trained names such as UFC light-heavyweight and heavyweight champion and Hall of Fame member Randy "The Natural" Couture and Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling silver medalist Matt "The Law" Lindland.
In an interview for Sherdog, Couture says, "He's a great technical coach. He reads people real well and he's real good with people - not that I need a lot of that - but it still makes a difference."
"I've been coach for almost 14 years now, and I'm still not even close to knowing everything. I want to learn a lot more," said Follis at the seminar and added, "Most of the time the worst things that have happened to us are exactly the things that have made us grow."
The seminar was an interactive combination of practice and talking about the importance of various positions. Follis' surprise for the last half hour of the seminar was showing the extremely challenging "reverse triangle choke."
"The understanding that there's no such thing as bad position is important. It just means something that invites you to overcome by adversity," he said.
This will not be Follis' last seminar in Walla Walla. "I'll probably see you again. I love buying Sweet Onions from here in the spring," Follis said.
Since its opening in 2007, the Calhoon's Martial Art studio has been regularly bringing leading coaches to do seminars and to keep increasing the interest in MMA in Walla Walla.

Street Fighter ClubCLIENT: Capcom Entertainment
I n 2008, Capcom and iam8bit collaborated to create the underground community event, Street Fighter Club. The first of its kind, it drew 200 eager fans to the darkest reaches of downtown Los Angeles' scrap metal yards. Since it's inception, over a dozen "clubs" have popped up around the country, attracting thousands of button-mashers en masse.
On February 3, 2011, the "Fight Club" series was reinvigorated for the launch of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds, attracting nearly 2,000 fans, waiting in line for upwards of 19 hours (starting at 1am), for the doors to open. It was the biggest, loudest, most successful "Fight Club" to date, with the crowd wrapping around an entire city block. Performances for the evening included ambience from DJ R-Rated and a rockin', fanboy-induced set by Miles Mosley and band, as well as surprise vocals by Mega Ran and Leeni. Fans were also treated to the first public demo of the Nintendo 3DS in North America, showcasing Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition; and a carefully curated selection of retrofitted arcade boards and sticks in the "Classics Lounge," serving as an interactive museum for every, single Marvel/Capcom collaboration leading up to "MVC3".
As with all Fight Clubs, the early birds were gifted "limited edition" tees and merch, no doubt flipped on eBay to finance a few college degrees.

I used to identify myself as bisexual, split pretty much cleanly down the middle. It was something that was always there. Just seemed like i was in the locker room one day, and happened to glance at my friend and thought "Damn, I'd hit it."
And I was ashamed. Not ashamed to have these feelings for another female, but ashamed for having objectified her, however momentarily, within my own mind. And since then, I've tried to be the respectful sort that's so severely lacking in the world today.
Sure, it took a few weeks for me to digest these feelings which had suddenly been realized. But having grown up with the benefit of having never heard my parents utter any sort of slur against anyone's race, religion, or sexual preference; I had a much easier time with it than most. But knowing the cruelty of classmates, I didn't exactly take out an ad in the paper.
Three years ago I was living with my girlfriend. I had worked overnight, and was sipping a cup of coffee to keep me awake long enough to drive Suzy to class. It was finals week, and she had been studying her toosh off. She had one more semester to go.
She called to me from the bedroom. She couldn't get up. I literally had to carry her into the bathroom and... assist her. Then I had to dress her. Then she insisted that I carry her to the car. And then, literally, carry her into her classroom for her test.
She was feeling better by that afternoon, but I knew something serious was wrong. I could smell it, somehow.
A few days later I took her to the ER.
She died of Acute Myeloid Leukemia on January 4th at 3:17 AM.
I cannot express how devastated I was. There simply are not words for it. It was like the loss of a limb and I am still hurting from it. She was the ONE; and I say that as a person who didn't believe in that soulmate stuff until i met HER. It was as if a benevolent god had taken that vauge concept of perfect from my mind and made her especially for me... and was also kind enough to see to it that I was somehow good enough for her.
She was adorable, intelligent, witty, sarcastic. Compassionate to animals. She loved vintage horror movies. For halloween she would make shruken heads out of our hair clippings and dried apples.
And now she's been gone for almost three years. It still hurts, but I'm doing okay. I've had a long term - and distinctly dissatisfying - relationship with a man since then, but I've come to realize something. Another actualization, if you will.
I haven't really moved on at all. I didn't enter into my most recent relationship with even the assumption that it would be "forever"... although it always seems like one is *SUPPOSED* to assume it'll be forever until something happens to end it.
Also, my attraction to women has all but vanished. I haven't been with a woman since Suzy passed - I haven't met a woman who even mildly intrested me since.
So I guess my question is, how the hell do I move on? Will it ever get any easier?
I don't know. I just needed to talk about it in a neutral setting, I suppose.

Aw, honey.
The first big love of my life died on me, too. I just got home from a date with my current partner -- and had no intent of doing anything other than checking the boards to be sure all was right with the world - but you know, I see a post like this and I can't let it sit, because it is SUCH a huge deal, so isolating, so hard and any time I see anyone else who had to go through it all of me just caves in sympathy.
Does it get better? Yep. Of course, I say this more than 20 years and a lot of processing later - which likely sounds less than optimistic, but seriously, you can't believe how fast time passes over the years - but all the same, yes, yes, a resounding yes, it gets better. A LOT better. Exactly 20 years ago today, I was literally convinced I could channel the spirit of the person I loved who died on me from inside an inner-city dumpster. Suffice it to say, I'm nothing close to in that space at the moment.
And at the time, I also fully subscribed to the soulmate stuff and was right there with you. Since that time, I've adjusted my thinking, based on my life experience, to realize that a lot of people are important to who we are and how we love, and comparing any one to the other is difficult, at best. And needless.
I know that for a long time, other people I was with said it was like being with a widow, and of course, in a way, that was exactly who they were with: when you love someone big, and they die, you're a widow.
One thing I'd suggest that I wish someone had pointed me to then was to connect with anyone else you can who has been in a same or similar space. If you're in Savannah, per same-sex specifically, unfortunately, that won't be so easy, but if you're up to poking around for rescources, I'd be happy to help you look.
It's also really normal to disconnect for a long time after something like this, and to want to be with people as different from your partner as possible: I wish someone had told me that, too. So, right now is probably a good time not to worry about figuring out orientation and sexual indentity, if that's something you're feeling conflicted about: it's likely better to just connect to others you feel you can connect to, without any worry about how or who per any sort of cirteria.
I'll be back around tomorrow afternoon if you need/want some more support, or are intesrted in poking round to see if we can find any local resources for you. But in the meanwhile, it DOES get better. It just can often take a long time. I know that doesn't sound like the most hopeful thing ever, but in my experience as well as what I've gleaned from the experiences of others, that's the reality, and sometimes realistic assessments are helpful.
Member # 30995
I've tried to get some support locally; but it's difficult. It seems like everywhere I turn my feelings are dismissed.
My mother was of the opinion that my being "bi" was pure shock-tactics, even after seeing the depth of my relationship with Suzy. After she died, I had to move back into mom's house for about a month. She told me that I was using my lover's death as an "excuse to be lazy." Nevermind that I was somehow back on my feet and independant by the middle of Feb.
My boss at the job tried to guilt trip into working on the SAME DAY that Suzy died - and he told me that he's not intrested in my personal "drama." Sufficied to say, I told him to shove it.
One of my good friends at the time had the aucacity to tell me that it's BETTER she's dead, as opposed to alive but unobtainable, as was his "Love."
I even turned to faith; only to have it insinuated that her death was punishment for my evil, homosexual ways.
There is virtually no lesbian community in Savannah; and yet those lesbians I DO meet act like I am untouchable because I am Bisexual. They behave as though my ability to be equally attracted to a man lessens the feelings I have for a woman. They act like I'm just a horn-dog who's indifferent to her partners... like I'll do anyone or anything to get laid.
It's been difficult to open up to these people as I am typically someone who can and does successfully deal with my own issues privately. And then to be treated like THIS...
I'm reminded of why I stopped confiding in the people around me.
It really is a pity that I - and so many young people on this site - have to reach into cold, anonymous cyberspace for the help that we need.
You're wonderful for being here for us, Heather. You and your wonderful staff... thank you.
Member # 3
Oh, of course. Of course, of course.
But I agree: having NO in-person support just isn't a good thing.
(And I hear you with the responses: my partner at the time wasn't even same sex, and I got similar treatment, including, literally an "I told you so," from one parent. There's just no dulling that sort of harshness and that sort of insensitivity.)
I have a headshot client shortly this morning, but let me toodle around a bit later to see what I can find for you.
Couple quick questions for when I come back that might help me do my best for you in that respect:
1) Is a move out of the question? Even not so far away, like to Atlanta? Atlanta has GLBT support en MASSE, and I spent a little time there some years ago and was pretty impressed with the queer community there, which struck me as pretty bi-embracing.
2) How mobile are you, in terms of even getting to places like Decatur or Marietta?
Hang in there. Can't say we can make this all better, obviously, it's a long, hard process no matter what, but I bet we can find SOME supports for you to make it less painful and less isolating.
Member # 30995
I'm not moving to atlanta. The benefits of GLBT support (of which i am still skeptical) hardly outweigh considerations like crime rate, cost of living, job availability, etc. Again, I'm not someone who typically has a need of support... I'm delighted to GIVE support, but I benefit little from recieving.
While I am entertaining the idea of a local move at the moment... I'm ahead of the game in my home environment. I have a job that I enjoy and I live comfortably - I don't want to start all over.
I'm pretty mobile, though, my car is pretty well maintained. The fact that i only have every other weekend off that is prohibative, though.
Member # 3
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you.
And okay: a move is out.
One thing you noted was that you felt like a church might be the right place for you...but clearly picked one that wasn't GLBT friendly.
However, there are some in Savannah I've found which are:
Asbury Memorial United Methodist Church
1008 East Henry Street
Phone: (912) 233-4351
St. Luke's Lutheran Church
2716 Mechanics Avenue, Thunderbolt
Phone: (912) 354-6815
Unitarian Universalist Fellowship
Habersham @ Harris Streets
Phone: (912) 234-0989
Unity Church of Savannah
2320 Sunset Blvd.
Phone: (912) 355-4704
There's that.
Here's also the PFLAG chapter in macon:
Here's also the First City Network in Savannah: 912-236-CITY
I'd also try giving this Atlanta org a call to see if they know of more resources for you in your area, particularly any grief support/groups: BiNature Bisexual Discussion & Support Group First Existentialist Congregation: 404-256-8992
Member # 31900
though not quite as comforting as the advice heather has givin, i noticed that you said you like giving support but feel you benifit little from getting any, have you concidered volenteering in some pro (insert cause here) or raising awarness about Acute Myeloid Leukemia, i know it seems dumb but perhaps its what you need to move onward and upward.
Member # 30995
You're awesome, Heather, and I appreciate the effort. I'll make a few phone calls this afternoon.
Givega - every January 4th I donate $200 to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Georgia Chapter. I also participate in the Light the Night fundraisers.
At tax time, I give my local humane society a $100-200 donatation. Suzy used to do it every year... and if she couldn't afford it, she'd volunteer her time. It's where she wanted her "rememberances" (is that the right word?) to go.
Member # 30995

I hate those anniversaries: they're never easy, to say the very least.
Sending a hug your way, Menthol.
Member # 30995
I'm doing alright. I made my donation earlier. Lit a candle for her. Had some orange rolls in memory of the one who introduced me to the wonderful world of sushi. orange rolls... were her favorite.
I'm doing better than I thought i would be. I'm doing a little less crying and a little more smiling today than i did last year... remembering the good times we had.
I remember she bought two spaghetti strap tank-tops with the built in bras... identical, besides our sizes. She gave me mine and told me that "Tomorrow is boob day!"
She was so cute. The world is a less glorious place without her. but the time we had together is a greater, more powerful force than my pain. I just need to keep reminding myself of that.

"Children in the digital generation are learning to code at a young age. Although the first reaction is to commend them, we must also warn them of the consequences for engaging in unethical behavior. Futurist and author Marc Prensky identified coding as a 21st-century skill students should learn in the digital age. "
by: Camille Bautista
Kids as young as 11 are using coding skills to hack accounts on social media and gaming sites, according to one report. Antivirus firm AVG says children are writing malware to steal data and virtual currency from friends.
However, the hacks are still in their infancy, as researchers found errors that trace back to the original source. One author included his exact email address, password and additional information, revealing an 11-year-old boy in Canada. Most programming languages researchers found in the study were elementary, such as C# and Visual Basic. Check out the video, above, for more.
As today's connected generations tinker with computers and smartphones at earlier ages, their familiarity with coding starts young. Worldwide initiatives are developing to teach kids to program, including CoderDojo and Codecademy. More children are learning to create their own apps, learning HTML and Javascript like a second language.
Kids need to be taught to code responsibly and educational guidelines should be implemented, says Yuval Ben-Itzhak, chief technology officer at AVG.
"You teach your children that you can't take a toy without paying – so I think this type of a message needs to get to the kids when they're writing software too," Ben-Itzhak tells BBC.
What do you think of teaching children to code? How can teachers and parents monitor their kids?

There are a couple fewer decisions to make on North Carolina tax returns this year. And the state Democratic Party is most acutely feeling the change.
The elections overhaul bill approved by Republican legislators last summer and signed into law by Gov. Pat McCrory eliminated the option taxpayers had to earmark $3 of their tax payment to their favored political party.
Democrats, Republicans and Libertarians all benefited from the political party "checkoff," but Democrats got more than 60 percent of the overall funds since 2009. The repeal is also hurting Democrats more as they struggle to raise other money following a series of electoral setbacks.
Many GOP legislators don't like the idea of government accumulating tax money for parties.

It was, perhaps, inevitable that Rick Erwin would open Nantucket Seafood Grill in April of 2010. After all, his West End Grille was already a huge success in downtown Greenville, garnering many national culinary awards. So when a good friend approached him with the idea of fulfilling a niche by opening a premier seafood restaurant in Greenville, Rick couldn't say no. "It was obvious to me right away, because there was nothing else like it out there. This was a perfect opportunity to fill a gap in the downtown Greenville dining experience."
Rick was born and raised in Greenville, SC, and for as long as he can remember the restaurant business was in his heart. "I got my first job in this business when I was 14 years old and I haven't looked back, " Rick says. "I feel incredibly blessed to do what I truly love—which is to give my customers an outstanding dining experience." Because of his commitment to unparalleled service and the highest quality food, it's not surprising that Rick's customers are repeat dining guests. "Everything centers around the customer. Our team here at Nantucket is incredible. Every member of our staff is focused on one thing: exceeding customers' expectations."More »

Combined Heat and Power
The simultaneous generation of power and heat in one plant is called combined heat and power (CHP) generation or cogeneration. Compared to separate production of heat and power in conventional power plants and individual heating systems, CHP units achieve an up to 40 percent higher efficiency. There are large and small plants operating on the CHP principle.
CHP units supply the heat that is uncoupled in the electricity generation process to the customers through district heating pipelines. With more than 1,500 kilometres, Berlin has the largest district heating network in Western Europe. In recent years, technological improvement and government initiatives to extend the use of combined heat and power have led to increasing numbers of decentralised, small CHP units.
Power from the neighborhood
These engines with outputs below one MWel can extremely efficiently supply heat and power to individual properties or production facilities. Meanwhile, numerous manufacturers offer compact mini-CHP and micro-CHP units in the output range below 50 kWel for use in multi-family houses or service industry buildings. CHP units work efficiently and economically if heat demand is sufficiently high throughout the year.
Power for the neighborhood
Operators can feed the electricity generated by the CHP unit into the local grid and receive a CHP bonus in addition to the current electricity price fixed at the energy exchange but they can also sell it directly in the property. The Berliner Energieagentur has specialised in supplying mini-CHP units for residential, service industry and office buildings. We finance, plan, install and operate the plants at our own economic risk.
We either integrate the CHP unit into an existing central heating system (additional provision model) or replace out-dated heating systems and install a completely new energy centre including CHP unit in the building (full contracting).

The Neon is Noisy (engine) it is gutless, it is atrocious to drive, it has dreadful build quality, it is a nasty car. It looks OK though, shame about the engineering (or lack of)

We stayed in a condo here for almost a week and had a very nice time. The units are spacious and clean and there are only 8 of them so the pool is never crowded. The monkeys will come right up to your balcony and peek in on you, and the place has a guarded gate at the entry 24 hours a day so everything is secure. The location is good as well, right between Quepos and Manuel Antonio so it's close to everything without being right in the middle of a crowded area. We left having had a very nice time and only discovered that we had left a laptop in one of the rooms after receiving an urgent email (we had no phone service) from Dorit, who manages the front office. We had already driven several hours away to our next hotel when we received the message, and were set to fly home a day later. I was afraid I would have to spend my entire day driving back to get the computer, but Dorit quickly and cheerfully arranged it so their driver would deliver the computer to us at our new hotel, 4 hours away (!), that next morning for a very reasonable fee - probably less than I would have spent in fuel if I made the trip to get it myself! They really went above and beyond and saved us a huge hassle and from having to waste our whole last day in the country driving back for the computer. I can't recommend this location highly enough, and the price for the rooms is great as well! Book it now!
The casita was quaint and clean and within walking distance to Atenas. Pat and John were wonderful hosts and gave us helpful information about the area and culture. We enjoyed the oranges and lemons from the trees in their yard and the sunsets were spectacular from the rooftop patio. After the sun sets the city lights can be seen on the horizon and the firefly's come alive in the soccer field next door reminding us of childhood days gone by. The first day there, Pat and John drove us to the local grocery so we could stock up while they enjoyed a cup of coffee at the grocery café, and we stopped in for a few more groceries a couple of days later and couldn't resist a cup of coffee and apple cake on the way out, it was delicious! We also visited El Toledo Organic Coffee Farm in San Isidro, a must visit. It was an amazing tour that took us through the entire process from seed to cup and Gerardo's family was very warm and welcoming. It is great to see a family farm interested in balance of nature, sustainable and eco friendly practices and making fantastic coffee. We stopped in almost daily at Gelly's across from the park in the center of Atenas when the rain showers passed through town to enjoy a cappuccino, gelato or crepes. We visited Antano's in town for the traditional lunch meal, casado (beans, rice, meat, salad and plantain and a tostada) and various sodas to sample empanadas filled with meat, vegetables or fruit. Kay's Gringo Postres was filled with interesting stories and local information from Kay herself and the new owner Lisa was gracious and welcoming, along with numerous other folks who shared their stories of moving to and living in Atenas. The park in the center of town is a great place to hang out, people watch and pass the day. Everyone was in town was super friendly unless they were behind the wheel.... and then it was like Mr. Toad's wild ride, but that's another story, you just have to be here to believe it. All in all, a great getaway, and my only hesitation about recommending this place is that if word gets out it may be booked up the next time we want to visit Atenas. Thank you Pat and John for the wonderful memories and the beginning of a new adventure.
We really enjoyed our stay at Vistas del Lago. The studio was absolutely up to our expectations: convenient, comfortable, quaint and charming for a very reasonable price. Very good location, close to all services in Nuevo Arenal, and to many touristic activities and sites, surrounded by a lush countryside. We felt very welcomed and safe. If you are looking for a quiet place for a vacation or a long stay, we strongly recommend. Our host was very helpful and accommodating.

Like the rest of the country, Ohio and Kentucky are rolling out their health exchange programs as part of the Affordable Care Act.
Ohio is going with the federal program while Kentucky is running its own marketplace.
Natalie Gordon of Elsmere is excited about the new program. She has ventricular septal defect (VSD), a heart condition that requires regular cardiologist visits. Despite having a job, Gordon says she's either been unable to afford health insurance in the past or has been turned down because of her condition.
Leaders in Ohio and Kentucky say the Brent Spence Bridge Project remains on target for a 2015 ground breaking but there's still no solid funding plan in place.
Mike Hancock of Kentucky says the states need to get creative when it comes to funding the project.
"There are opportunities to work with the community to see if there's anything we can do to make the toll rates more palatable."
Ohio Transportation secretary Jerry Wray agrees that tolling is part of the answer but not the entire solution.
Roxanne Qualls says if she's elected Cincinnati mayor in the November election, she'll select Council Member Wendell Young to be her Vice Mayor.
Qualls made the announcement Monday during a press conference on the sidewalk outside the Hamilton County Board of Elections
"He is someone who has shown, since he's been on City Council, tremendous judgment, maturity, and leadership as well as a clear ability to work with the other members of Council to forge coalitions and also to be very collaborative," Qualls said.
Cincinnati's new police chief is now officially on the job.
City Manager Milton Dohoney, Jr. administered the oath of office Monday to Jeffrey Blackwell during a ceremony at the Duke Energy Center
"I can assure you all that I will not disappoint nor will I lack the effort or enthusiasm to guide this department to unchartered heights and unparalleled professionalism," Blackwell said.
Tea Party activists are being told they have a lot of opportunity in next year's elections, as they continue to oppose Republicans on several issues. But they also are being told they have a lot of work to do.
The more than 300 activists at the statewide Tea Party's annual We The People Convention seem to be standing solidly against the Republican Party's most visible candidate next year.

I'm not sure what "J.U.I.C.E." stands for (I don't feel like googling it for several reasons). Somehow I suspect you don't, either.Guests: K'LA, Kanye West, Big Sean, Wale
Release Date: December 13, 2011
8. Boog Brown - 'The Brown Study Remixes'
You remember Boog Brown, don't you? She placed 6th on my list of Best New Rappers earlier this year. That was mostly on the strength of The Brown Study, Boog's collaborative album with producer Apollo Brown. Brown brought in the likes of Georgia Anne Muldrow, 14 KT, Def Dee, and Apollo Brown to restyle The Brown Study. If you're still sleeping on Brown, may this be the 10-foot spring mattress that renders you awake. Really, it's a fresh way to rediscover an old gem.Release Date: December 20, 2011

5. yU - 'The Earn'
DMV rapper yU caught my attention with last year's Before Taxes, a powerful statement that whisked the listener to a place where music wasn't diluted by economic motivation.

4. Onra - 'Chinoiseries Part 2'
Arnaud Bernard, better known as Onra, is a Parisian beat chef with insatiable curiosity. In 2007, he released Chinoiseries, a trail of South-East Asia-inspired hip-hop beats. Five years later he returns with another relentlessly exotic beat journey inspired by Asian music. Chinoiseries 2 serves up more of the same mysterious pop-folk records we've come to expect from Onra. There's an orchestral and vintage feel running through the instrumentals. I imagine there's a yoga instructor out there teaching Surya namaskara to these beats.Release Date: December 13, 2011
3. Common - 'The Dreamer/The Believer'
All beats by Dion. All raps by Lonnie, with the exception of "Ghetto Dreams" which enjoys a smooth massage from Nasir. Common once told me that he's questioned some of his career decisions, particularly in his Electric Circus phase. The jury is still out on his decision to make an entire album over No I.D. beats. It's either genius or insane.Guests: Nas, Maya Angelou, John Legend

1. The Roots - 'Undun'
Undun is a concept album built on existential narratives. It follows the life of one Redford Stephens (1974 - 1999). The album essentially illustrates Redford's internal dialog, while prescribing his destiny as it plays out. It starts with the listener finding Redford disoriented, attempting to make sense of his previous life. Gradually, he weaves through key moments in his life through reverse narrative, ultimately deconstructing what led to his and our coming undun.Guests: Big K.R.I.T., Dice Raw, Greg Porn, Bilal, Truck North

Editor's Note: This is the first in an exclusive, three-part series in which Fox Point's Dr. Moises Garcia talks about his 4-year fight to successfully recover his kidnapped daughter, Karina, from Japan. This series chronicles the abduction, Moises' battle to maintain a relationship with her from more than 6,000 miles away, and takes a look at her today, age 10, as she celebrates her first birthday back in America since the abduction.
On a warm August afternoon, Karina Garcia celebrated her 10th birthday surrounded by 15 of her friends at a lake near her Fox Point home. But this birthday was much more than a celebration with cupcakes, balloons and toys. Monday marked a new milestone for Karina after a four-year nightmare for her and her father, who's never told the full, step-by-step story of his battle to bring his daughter home.
Karina's father, Dr. Moises Garcia, said she wanted a bike for her birthday and that was one wish he couldn't grant.
"I can't, it's dangerous," he said.
Even after Karina has spent eight months in the United States with her step-mother and new baby sister, her father said she often endures nightmares that she will be abducted again.
"She had nightmares that an old lady kidnaps and takes her, grabs her," Garcia said. "She's scared that she's going to be taken again, not see her sister."
On Feb. 22, 2008, Garcia went to pick up Karina from the home where she stayed with her mother, Emiko Inoue, Garcia's soon-to-be ex-wife.
But when he got there, no one was home. Instead, he found clothes scattered across the house, the family safe emptied of $3,000 cash and Inoue's passport missing.
Garcia's worst nightmare had become reality — his daughter had been kidnapped.
This began Garcia's four-year crusade, which would cost him nearly $400,000, to bring his daughter home.
'I was always afraid of that'
Garcia, originally from Nicaragua, and Inoue, a native of Japan, met while studying in Norway in 1998. They moved to Milwaukee in 2001 and married a year later with Karina on the way.
Garcia said his filing for divorce was fueled by personality problems between Inoue and himself that were exacerbated after Karina was born. Cultural differences and Inoue's struggle to adapt to living in the United States were also a big part of their frustrations.
He said he finally filed for divorce after they had a massive argument in February 2008.
"By then we had tried everything," he said, including counseling, a reconciliation from a previous divorce filed by Inoue in 2006, and moving into a new house. But even after all of that, they ultimately separated and Garcia filed for divorce. He said the troubled relationship with Inoue left him concerned for his daughter's safety.
"I had Karina's passport in my possession because I was always afraid of that. I was always concerned about abduction," Garcia said.
The next step
After discovering the scene at the home in 2008, Garcia immediately called It was later discovered that Karina and Inoue had left Mitchell International Airport at 7 p.m. Sunday for Minnesota for a connecting flight to Japan.
"Initially I didn't believe she was in Japan. I thought maybe she's hiding here," he said.
That night, Garcia received a very short phone call from Inoue letting Garcia know that they were both safe in Japan. Because the caller ID showed up as "Unknown," Garcia said he had hope they were still in the United States.
"There was a week where I was looking at hotels, everywhere, pushing police to see what happened, getting court orders, all this stuff," he said. By Saturday, he remembered he had the home phone number of Inoue's parents in Japan, where he believed she would have taken Karina. He called multiple times and at first, no one answered. Finally, Inoue picked up, confirming the international flight.
"Then, that day, I hit bottom," he said. "I cried like crazy, three or four hours. There was nothing to do at that point. I almost gave up."
Garcia returned to Nicaragua to "rebuild" himself during that time. And after nearly a month refocusing, and coping with the loss of his daughter, he found the drive to develop a new plan.
"After that, I came out fresh with more ideas," he said. He would read every article he could find on parental abductions to foreign countries, talk to support groups and government officials and he said he then realized that his problem was far from rare.
The U.S. State Department Bureau of Consular Affairs reported 1,022 outgoing child abduction cases in 2010 and another 941 in 2011. More than 600 were cases of abduction to Mexico; 49 were to Japan.
A father left behind
Emiko Inoue was arrested in 2011 when she visited Hawaii, and was brought to Wisconsin to face two felony charges: interference with custody beyond visitation and interference with child custody — other parent. If she is convicted on both counts, she faces up to 12 1/2 years in prison. She wears a GPS tracking device .
Though Karina is home, Garcia continues devoting time and energy to the issue of these abductions.
"We are helping other cases, one in New York (taken to Japan), another in New Jersey (taken to South Korea) trying to write strong court orders to prevent this from happening to these children. This is a big problem facilitated by the fact that the U.S. is the only developed country without exit controls," Garcia said.
Exit controls are a system to check the exit and entry of foreign nationals as they cross U.S. borders. In Karina's case, custody had not yet been established and the couple was still married. However, without exit controls, no one checked to make sure Karina was leaving the United States legally.
But exit controls are only one part of the abduction picture. In 1994, the United States signed the Hague Adoption Convention, an international agreement among 72 countries that requires children be returned to the parent with legal, custodial rights if another tries to take them away. Japan has not signed the convention, according to the U.S. Embassy, despite pressure to do so.
Tomorrow: A look at Garcia's fight to be a father to Karina while she was more than 6,000 miles away, and the lengths he had to go to continue being a part of her life.

As I was searching what to do with so much leftover sour cream I came across this recipe and wasn't surprised when one of my dearest blogging friends recipe popped up. Here is a great way to use up that sour cream.
Catherine Pappas is a fabulous baker and cook please visted her blog, this is her recipe.
Adapted from my dear friend Catherine @ http://livingthegourmet.blogspot.com/
Amaretto Filling:
16 oz. light sour cream
8 oz. cream cheese
1/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon Amaretto
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 eggs
In a mixing bowl combine the corn starch, baking powder, set aside. Add the sour cream, cream cheese and sugar beat around 5 minutes till light and fluffy. Add eggs, almond extract and Amaretto and mix well until completely smooth.
Almond Crumb Crust:
3 cups fine crumbs such as cinnamon graham cracker(is what I used), regular graham, vanilla cookies, or chocolate wafers
8 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup finely chopped almonds
Preheat Oven 350 degrees:
Melt butter in the microwave. Mix with fine crumbs, almonds and blend well. Place the crumb mixture in 9 inch spring form pan lightly sprayed or lined with parchment paper or you can you one greased deep dish pie plate and a 6 inch springform pan (always line or lightly spray) and press crumbs down to form. I like to wrap the bottom with foil to prevent dripping in the oven.
Pour batter over crust. (I didn't prebake the crust, but you can for 5 to 6 minutes if you like, then cool first before adding the filling on the crust)

SARANAC LAKE — With the State Theatre in Tupper Lake's recent success in moving to digital-movie access, others are still waiting in the wings.
At the Adirondack North Country Association, communications specialist Melissa Hart relayed marked progress on two fronts.
Communities have stepped up to help save their theaters, and the price of projection equipment is coming down for small movie houses.
The North Country Association launched its Go Digital or Go Dark campaign in conjunction with the Adirondack Film Society earlier this year.
"Of the 10 theaters we were supporting, three have now met their fundraising goals and gone digital: the State Theater in Tupper Lake, the Indian Lake Theater and the Glen Drive-in in Queensbury," Hart said.
The Ogdensburg Theater closed for several reasons, she said.
"That leaves us with six theaters still actively in fundraising: the year-round theaters are the Palace Theater in Lake Placid, the Strand Theater in Old Forge and Cinematek in South Glens Falls."
Seasonal theaters include the Hollywood in AuSable Forks and the Strand in Schroon Lake.
The Strand Theatre in Plattsburgh, which is still being developed, is also involved.
North Country Association has worked with partners for each venue, helping forge a series of dynamic relationships to support or enhance film options for each theater's audio/visual programming.
"We just recently applied for three grants through the state Council of the Arts, which has a pool of money allocated specifically for digital programming. Each one of those grant applications was really unique.
"The Strand Theater in Plattsburgh is not currently equipped for movies," Hart explained. "The grant would allow them to achieve that goal, giving them additional tools to put the programming in place for movies and expand for alternative programming using the projectors."
Adirondack Film Society has been working with the theater in Schroon Lake to expand the Lake Placid Film Festival, developing a southern venue for film showings and roundtable discussion.

Discussion came up on comment wall, and it seemed appropriate as a topic on its own.
1. Does PETA use fake blood in protests? Yes. "Peta: Using Fake Blood To Make You Feel Awkward Since 1980"
2. PETA website here. PETA is famous for outragous ads, as demonstrated here. They like to use sexual exploitation in their ads.
3. PETA is confrontational, they use sex, holocaust imagery, slavery imagery, and imagery of abused animals for attention.
4. PETA does euthanise animals that they deem unable to be cured of disease or unable to be 'rehabilitated.
5. PETA has attempted to get towns to change their names - such as Hamburg NY, and Fishkill NY,
6. There's more - see the wikipedia article.
Questions that can be asked, would include -
Are these tactics effective at reducing animal cruelty?
Do these tactics conver people to the cause of PETA, and to vegetarianism?
Would these tactics be convertable to an antireligious campaign to counter religious abuse?

It has been said that timing can be everything in sports.
The Jacksonville College men's basketball team won both of its games on Friday and Saturday in the Trinity Valley Classic, first notching a 78-75 decision over Clarendon from NJCAA Region V, on Friday night and then thumping Kingdom Prep of Iowa, 103-85, Saturday afternoon.
Its the first time this season the Jags (4-5) have pulled off back-to-back wins.
The momentum comes at a great time with the Purple and White slated to open Region XIV play on Tuesday night when they travel to Corsicana to take on Navarro College at 7 p.m.
JC shot 80-percent (20-25) at the charity stripe Friday evening in clipping Clarendon (1-5).
"This group continues to improve and that's exciting to watch," JC head coach Jody Bailey said. "We won three games in the last week and finished the week strong, which was important for us.
"I think by winning a close game on the road, that will give us some confidence as we open our conference play."
After a few days off for Thanksgiving, the Jags will host Kilgore on Dec. 3 (7:30 p.m.) and Tyler Junior College at 4 p.m. on Dec. 7.

User Reviews of Products
Very soft and warm, runs a little small though. I wear a 6 on top, typically, and bought a medium to fit a couple of very light layers underneath. It isn't lined, but has similar high pile fleece inside. I am disappointed that high pile fleece is not in the pockets like they have in the vest.
This would be a nice jacket if a large was actually a large. I wear S/M pants and this jacket fits so snug around my hips and chest, it looks ridiculously small on me.
I live and work in Australia. It is a great shirt for our hot and humid climate. Very comfortable, and breathable. True XL fit. Certainly recommend it to anyone. Only thing I didn't love was the Colour, as not a blue shirt fan. I am a hard person to please. Enjoy.
Loved these shorts, but I wear a Medium/size 10 and these run very small. Very disappointed because the material is nice and a good length.
Love this coat/ jacket ....unzip the liner and have a nice fleece jacket to wear , nice zipper vents in arm pits when it gets too warm , pull cords to keep out snow -wind -rain -etc . Its a great looking jacket, picture doesn't show the almost metallic gray material used for this jacket . There are many large med small pockets on this coat, some of the pockets have zippers and some are open for quick access. this is a very well-made stylish coat. Buy this coat with confidence, I am very picky when it comes to coats and this one has no complaints from me.
I wore this in the hottest and muggiest month at the Galapagos Islands and by the end of the trip many of the women came up to me and said they were going to look for a shirt like this one to protect their arms. I liked it so well I bought another one and one for my friend. A button did come off in the wash but I still give it a 5 star because it always looked fresh and flattered my figure.
I love this jacket!! It's a good weight, really warmer than I thought it would be. I don't like wearing heavy winter coats so this jacket works really well. I got the green and several people have commented they liked the color.
I purchased 2 of these jackets, one for myself and one for my daughter. We both love it! The jacket has a great fit and the length is perfect (a problem with other well-known fleece jackets). The fleece is incredibly soft and warm, perfect for winter days in the Southeast!
Overall, it is a fairly nice shirt, though it is impossible to speak to the effectiveness of the SPF. The sleeves are on the short side which is unpleasant and leaves a portion of my lower arms exposed to the sun. Also, every time I unbutton those tiny buttons, a lot of them catch on threads from the buttonhole and I fear that the stitching will not last long.

Are linear and non-linear periodization really that different?April 2nd, 2013
Last fall I was commissioned to write "Performance Optimization with Periodization" for the Danish Federation of Sport.
"Performance Optimization with Periodization" is going to be a 100+ page book to be used in the education of coaches within the Danish Sport System.
I am currently investing most of my writing time in "Performance Optimization with Periodization" and thus, the blog posts in April are a break from "Beyond Functional Training."
Chapter 3 is titled "Essential Characteristics of Periodization Systems."
The periodization systems that I analyze and review include linear periodization, reverse linear periodization, conjugate periodization and block periodization.
The review includes a description of the system, what the system is good for, strength and weakness compared to the other systems.
Research studies are constantly showing conflicting results.
Linear periodization is best. No, non-linear periodization is best. Why? The reason for the conflicting results is caused by differences in the subjects participating in the studies (for example, trained vs. untrained) as well as the design of the study (for example, how variation is applied to the training program).
I predict that the contradictions will persist and the scientists will keep stating that "more research is needed."
Meanwhile, strength coaches and personal trainers need to create training programs.
Here is the good news: While the studies disagree on which system is best, the EFFECTIVE FEATURES of the different systems, for example, variation, stand out pretty clearly.
For this reason, I encourage you to forget about the systems and focus on capitalizing on the effective features of each system in a flexible way. (This is exactly how The Flexible Periodization Method works).
While I can't share the whole chapter, I will share on a daily basis, what I find during the research and writing process.
Are you interested in my daily updates? (check back daily to see my added comments below or follow the yestostrength page on Facebook.
To Your Success,
PS: The Flexible Periodization Method is a system of systems, rather than one specific way of training. Therefore, there will never be a scientific study on The Flexible Periodization Method.

A 9 year-old girl from Guadalajara, Mexico has given birth to a child via C-section. Yes, 9 years old!
The child was impregnated by a 17 year-old molester who the girl claimed she was "dating." The 17 year-old rapist fled after the girl's mother rejected the idea of her daughter moving in with him and raising a family.
A representative from the prosecutor's office, Jorge Villasenor, gave his statement on the situation: "We are looking for the young man to get his story because the girl does not understand what has happened. This is either rape or child sex abuse."
According to news reports, the youngest mother on record is a Peruvian girl who was 5 years, 7 months old when she delivered a boy by C-section in 1939.
Sad, disgusting and unbelievable...she's a baby herself!

What is Hyperloop? Elon Musk has been teasing his futuristic transportation idea for months, but today all will be revealed.
Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 solar-powered minutes: Sounds fantastic, but how does it work?
On the one hand, we know enough already to join the dots and tell you what he's going to say.
On The Other Hand, we're hesitant to be 100% definitive: Musk's reputation as an enigma gives us pause.
Anyway, here's the story, with the minimum of fluff (and absolutely no references to The Jetsons or to Futurama).
Hyper-whatnow? Jonathan Amos reports:
US entrepreneur Elon Musk…has teased audiences with titbits of information about the rapid transit idea. … Musk says Hyperloop could be built for less than a conventional rail link [and] would be a practical solution for city pairs separated by 1,000 miles or less.
Whatever Mr Musk proposes, people are sure to sit up and take notice. … PayPal…Falcon rocket system…Tesla electric car. … Musk says he is so busy with SpaceX and Tesla that he will not immediately try to develop Hyperloop himself.
Pie in the sky? Nick Allen adds more detail:
The history of transport is replete with…schemes for getting people from A to B in…haste. And many of them have remained…ideas on a drawing board that will never see the light of day. [But Musk] is a Silicon Valley wunderkind with a proven track record of turning science fiction into reality..
Musk will not be patenting the design and it will be "open source", meaning anyone can modify it, or try to build it. [He] has denied it will be a so-called "vactrain". [It] "does involve a tube, but not a vacuum tube", he said, adding: "Not frictionless, but very low friction."
Musk's intended location for the first Hyperloop is…between Los Angeles and San Francisco…and deliver passengers between the two cities in just 30 minutes.
How does it work? Karl Smith has his guess:
I could be way off base but I [say] he wants to use an Inductrack [a] highly sensible technology that uses permanent magnets. [You don't] need to have electric power to make this work. …you simply have to get the train moving and the motion of the train will cause induction…which will lift the train.
[If there's a] failure the train just glides slowly down on to the track. … No crash and burn.
Canadian engineer John Gardi has been tinkering with this concept for a while:
Hyperloop is merely a modern day version of the pneumatic tubes used…to move money and small items…to other floors of a building. …though not so much these days.
Cars would share the tube with the air column…during the high speed run between stations. … The car is slowed by linear regenerative braking, accelerated by [a] rail gun.
Having an elevated Hyperloop…avoids or reduces many of the pitfalls of ground-level right-of-ways, and opens up some new opportunities: … The crossing of other right-of-ways…will be a breeze. … Hyperloop can avoid tunnels. …new route options, like leasing farmer's fields…paid for by leasing Hyperloop's right-of-way to communications companies [and] the solar power that a couple of square miles of surface area can generate!
Building Hyperloop…for a 10th the cost of high speed rail is…doable.
Similar ideas have been tried, as Alan Boyle tells it:
Such grand projects have foundered in the United States, due to the expense of building new infrastructure and negotiating the rights of way. …a pneumatic transit system isn't exactly a new idea. The concept was tested in New York in the 1870s.
Would you invest? An enthusiastic Adriana Lee would:
This scheme is so crazy, it just might work. The idea…sounds mad, but Musk's guarded-yet-clear enthusiasm gives it some cred. … Hyperloop could one day become a role model for other efficient transit and transportation systems.
This has "intriguing" written all over it.
Meanwhile, Antony Currie draws an interesting parallel:
Elon Musk is beginning to exude hints of Steven P. Jobs. … Like Mr. Jobs [he] crafts an impressive product. Now, he's gaining a reputation for beating earnings estimates.

Transportation is a model that has remained stuck, largely, in the 19th century. Technology so far has produced efficiencies but no real disruption. This has forced the individual to pick up the slack. It's amazing how many people still drive from one city to another even when the distance is 1,000 miles. If we have this kind of connectivity it will unlock fresh potential in the economies of paired cities and release valuable productivity time back into the economy and it might even not be too bad for the environment.
right but who will pay for it? isnt this the sort of thing that needs governments to build? isn't california broke?
A pneumatic tube would require much less structural reinforcement than a vacuum tube, and an air cushion could provide levitation at speed with far less weight and power than electromagnets. The "rail-gun" component would likely come into play when a pod leaves the station to enter the main pipeline. I'm sure that with clever design and proper management of the boundary layer, this old-yet-new concept has tremendous potential.
This concept has been in sci-fi for a long time. Till now, never have we had the materials to pull it off. Is it a concept ripe for the picking? Given a choice between Hyperloop and hi speed rail. Hyperloop looks like the better deal. Just property contracts are a deal breaker for hi speed rail. My concern is what happens to the users who are subjected to MRI strength magnetic fields? And G forces equivalent to a stunt plane ride. Catastrophic systems failure, sliding to a halt at jet air craft speeds could be interesting. I really like the idea of many small cars sounds complex but smaller body count when things go wrong. It's got to be cheaper than AMTrack.
I've lived in the Bay Area for 20+ years. The tech isn't the problem. Getting the cities to agree to have this run through their town will be the killer. It took BART an insane amount of time, money and effort to get San Bruno to let them extend their line to San Francisco International, a route that you'd think would be a no-brainer.
Multiply that effort from SF to LA and you've got a migraine of planetary proportions.
Not to mention the fact that I'm sure an airline or two will be lobbying hard against anything that threatens their markets.
Color me skeptical.
I think it would be more of a coilgun (gaussgun). You would have them stationed every mile or more and it would push as fast as needed. Building the tubes across the country and keeping them maintained could help supply a lot of jobs here in the USA. It could travel at around 900 mph or more, a short 3 hour ride from New York to Los Angeles.
One of the things that drives what I write is the idea that something has to be of use to a government in order to bring it to fruition. Many of my stories are dystopian in nature because a future reality of power and control using technology tend to come more readily to mind than utopian futures where tech enables people to be free.
As easy as it is to imagine this kind of transportation since we've seen it in existing incarnations of fictional future worlds, the reality seems very much more distant. Although I can see the benefits of this from a transportation and environmental perspective, unless there is some kind of motivation for the people in power I can't see technology overcoming the inertia of continuing to "refine" existing models rooted in the Industrial Revolution.
I like the Hyperloop idea but more than that I would like a safer car travel. Can you make that happen Mr. Elon?
The problem with this idea is in the architectural foundations: the dogma of Point to Point exclusive use pipe. This was the architecture of all communication networks before the advent of the IP model. The private car beat the Classic Train not because it's faster or more energy efficient, but because it's a the transportation equivalent of "small package routing" on multi-use non-blocking infrastructure. The Hyperloop is a step backwards, not forwards, because its rigidity is like forcing all long distance calls to go in multiplexed fashion through a fix set of Trunk lines between fixed central switches. No way it's go'na succeed.
