Russia and Germany Qualify to Team Finals
After the third subdivision, the United States has held their lead and will be advancing to team finals in first place (275.342). Russia taking second place (272.595), Great Britain being pushed to third (272.420) and Germany sliding into fourth (270.888). After many uncharacteristic falls from both Japan and China, they placed fifth (270.503) and sixth (269.985). Ukraine (269.810) finished on the heels of China and France clinched the last qualifying spot (265.759).
At the beginning of the third subdivision, World silver medalist, Philipp Boy of Germany, injured his ankle on his very first event. However, this injury did not cause him to quit. He fought to the finish for Germany on every event after. Coming in as a possible medalist in the all-around, Boy did not qualify for the all-around or any event finals. Fabian Hambuchen, teammate of Boy, placed third in the all-around (90.765) pushing John Orozco to fourth. Hambuchen also qualified for the high bar event finals with a fairly clean and precise routine. Finishing in seventh, Marcel Nguyen was the second member of Germany to qualify for the all-around finals. He also qualified for the floor exercise final performing a clean laid out double double and an easy full in dismount. Nguyen finished fifth on the parallel bars performing a full in dismount with only a small hop on the landing and will advance to event finals.
David Belyavskiy from Russia placed second in the all-around (90.832) behind Danell Levya (91.265). He also qualified for the pommel horse event finals. The other all-around finals competitor for Russia is Emin Garibov. He also individually qualified for the parallel bar and high bar event finals. Russia had some stand out performances by Denis Ablyazin on the vault placing first with a score of 16.366 and Aleksandr Balandin scoring a 15.666 on the still rings, advancing him to event finals with teammate Denis Ablyazin.
Ukraine will advance to the team finals in seventh place with two all-around competitors advancing to finals and two other competitors advancing to event finals. Vatalii Nakonechnyi earned a score of 14.933 which placed him sixth on the pommel horse, only one spot behind 2011 World Champion Krisztian Berki of Hungary. Igor Radivilov earned the last qualification spot for vault finals scoring a 15.799. Coming into qualifications he was seen as a major gold medal contender for this event. Mykola Kuksenkov (89.931) and Oleg Verniaiev (88.964) are the two all-around qualifiers representing Ukraine.
Both Spain and Romania failed to make the team finals, but will have contenders representing them in the all-around and event finals. Fabian Gonzalez (88.365) and Javier Gomez Fuertes (88.123) will be the two competitors representing Spain in the all-around finals. Flavius Koczi (85.865) was the only Romanian gymnast to qualify for the all-around final. Koczi was also the only Romanian gymnast to make an event final. Scoring a 15.666, Koczi placed third on the floor exercise, advancing him to the finals. He also qualified for the vault event finals scoring a 15.949. Isaac Botella Perez of Spain also qualified for the vault event finals scoring a 15.833. This score placed him right behind Koczi.
Jordan Jovtchev of Bulgaria just made the cut for the still rings finals scoring a 15.308. This is his sixth Olympics at the age of thirty nine. In a conversation with Gymnastike Jovtchev said that he wished he didn't qualify to finals only because he is tired and his body is sore.
The Men's Team Finals will be held on Monday, July 30 - 11:30 a.m. ET
Brits shock China!
The British men's team pulled off an unlikely win over China in the first subdivision of the men's qualification round in London, 272.420-269.985. The Brits were led by Kristian Thomas, whose strong performances earned him first place in the all around qualifications thus far.
Great Britain began the day with a good start on rings, one of its weakest pieces. The team next went to vault, showing strong technique, form and landings to gain momentum. They kept it together on parallel bars and high bar, despite some errors and came back strong on floor exercise, led by Thomas's 15.366. Max Whitlock (15.266) and Daniel Purvis (15.2) weren't far behind.
The British men led China for the first time heading into the last rotation; the home crowd was electric. Purvis felt the nerves, coming off pommels as the lead-off. But Whitlock got the team back on track, scoring 14.9 for a tidy routine.
That set up 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Louis Smith, who hit a crowd-pleasing routine for a score of 15.80, clinching Britain's lead over the defending World and Olympic champion Chinese team. Smith celebrated the moment in tears, receiving huge support from the home crowd and was compelled to stand up and thank them.
Moments after walking off the floor Smith summed it up.
"It was just unbelievable. It's been an emotional four years for the team. And we've had a lot of pressure since Beijing to qualify for this Olympics. The crowd was fantastic. It was a beautiful partnership."
Britain also finished 1-2 in the all around, as Thomas (90.256) holds the lead over Daniel Purvis (89.199). Thomas also sits in second place on vault, where his Tsukahara double pike and handspring double front earned an average of 15.983, and a shot at making event finals.
Team China was far off their game, seeming to record one shocking error after another. Guo Weiyang, the alternate inserted into the lineup to replace 2004 Olympic Champion Teng Haibin, had a disastrous showing, giving away huge errors on floor exercise, parallel bars and pommel horse.
Zhang Chenglong also slipped off pommels, falling nearly onto his head after missing a hand. Zou Kai struggled throughout, with numerous form breaks. Chen Yibing posted China's highest number on pommel horse - only a 14.466. That single rotation handed Great Britain a three-point lead over the Chinese, which they would not make up in the final rotation.
Zou Kai, Chen Yibing, Feng Zhe and Zhang Chenglong delivered some of the highlights for China, as Zou leads the floor exercise with a big 15.833 (laid out double-double, tucked double-double dismount). Likewise, 2008 gold medalist Chen Yibing leads on his best event, the still rings, where he posted a massive 15.858.
Feng Zhe is currently in first on parallel bars (15.633), while Zhang Chenglong hit a fantastic high bar set for a 15.933. Defending Olympic champion Zou Kai could have done better, scoring a 15.533 - questionable for event finals.
France finished third in the subdivision (265.759) with Korea ending up in fourth (255.327).
Other standout performances in the subdivision included the "Flying Dutchman" Epke Zonderland's event-leading high bar performance (15.966), France's Gael da Silva on floor (15.4) and Cyril Tommasone on pommels (15.333), along with Tommy Ramos from Puerto Rice on rings (15.5).
Defending World vault champion Yang Hak Seon from Korea leads the event thus far, averaging 16.333. Yang didn't perform his signature handspring triple twist, and struggled slightly with his landings.
The next men's subdivision begins at 10:30 a.m. ET, and features the United States, Italy, Japan andseveral mixed groups.

Very Hard Course
Pros: Extremely difficult through dense woods, nice mix of long and short holes, perfect concrete tee pads, each tee has signage and hole description, pretty land and lake views, trails between holes so you don't get lost, trash cans at many tees, benches throughout, park location so there are other things to do like swim, picnic, etc.
Cons: HORRIBLE drainage making for tough navigation, costs $5 per vehicle to enter the park.
Other Thoughts: This course has potential to rate 4.5 stars! However, there was atleast one 10-foot wide mud puddle ranging from 1-2 feet deep on the fairway of EVERY hole! I understand that this is Michigan, and we are in a soggy season, but the amount of standing water on the fairways is ridiculous! Many courses have a few holes with drainage issues, but every hole in my opinion is not acceptable. However, the course has a great variety of length and doglegs, and a very hard "S" curve hole, so I couldn't in good taste give it less than a 3 rating. This course is also new, so maybe they are planning on fixing some of the drainage issues later this summer. Overall, this course will challenge you and I will come back again as long as it is not underwater.

Worth the Wait
Pros: Great course design! Different levels of difficulty, a few hill shots, one of the craziest snake shots I ever saw, and I love having a practice basket. This course is kept very clean. You can tell a lot went into designing this course.
Cons: First time I played this course I got lost, arrow signs would be nice.
Other Thoughts: When I first heard rumors of this park I couldn't wait. I got to play it once before it was finished, and once right at the end of the year last year. I see that they made a few changes to basket locations. It was definitely worth the wait and will likely become my most played course.

Pros: I'm new to dg having started in Sept. 09 and drove a little more than an hour to the Jungle to get out of even deeper snow. Surprised pleasantly to see the first tee pad cleaned of snow as were all 18 pads. Even in winter it was relatively easy to follow the flow of the course. I think I looked a bit at 2 transition areas to find the next tree. Played the entire 18 in an hour.
Nice signage at each hole with fairway mapping on each sign. Rest benches are located in many areas.

Cons: Trees.. Tree.. Pretty typical of many Mi. courses. Again it was winter so the experience is what it is but not really much to knock.
Other Thoughts: It's easy to see some good though was put into the layout and hardware here. Also easy to see that this course is new as there are major trees here and very little scarring from disc strikes.

This review was updated on 4/1/2010
Pros: Very beautiful course!!! I loved the way the holes were set up. Trash cans were available at almost every tee. Navigation through the course was easy. I love the fact that this course has 7 holes with a par of at least 4.
Cons: To be honest I didn't really see anything I didnt like. Almost every hole, there is a possibility of having your disc land in some heavy trees. This course will challenge you to throw many different kinds of shots.
Other Thoughts: Very good signs, with distance, map, and par. Concrete pads at every hole, and every basket has a bright sticker on top, which I thought came in handy when looking for the basket on a number of holes.

Played: 35 Reviewed: 5 Exp: 37.1 Years
This review was updated on 7/7/2011
Pros: Beautiful piece of property. Will test various parts of your game. On some holes judgement of landing zones is critical. On some holes you must stay controled and excecute. Dont get me wrong all the holes arent tough but even then you have to excecute. Shooting a Pro Par 54 is truly a good round and I have yet to hear about anyone shooting a 54 on this course yet. To all who claim its too hard ... think outside of the box ... you have to be creative to score well ... watch ball golf on TV ... the tough courses require control and creativity .. the easy courses end up 20 down as the winning score at the end of the weekend ... Yawn
Cons: The land prevents any grip and rip drives. This not a con to me since I cant grip and rip but I do know some will not like this. I would have liked to see a few less trees removed around a couple of baskets. Some have complained the course is too tough. Yes its tough but I think so many players have bought into the idea that you should have a chance at birdie on all holes and that a 3 should be the norm.. in ball golf Par for non scratch players is not the norm.
Other Thoughts: The Parks Dept is solidly behind this course and have spent alot of time, and money in it development. They look at "The Jungle" as a work in progress and will continue to improve the course. We will be fixing hole 9, the hole ended up tougher than planned and will be opening up the fairway to make it fairer.

On Thursday, November 15, 2012, I attended the Amanda Foundation benefit "Night of True Blood Music." Hosting the event this year was True Blood's Pam, Kristin Bauer Van Straten and Ginger, Tara Pierce (Buck). The event featured the music of Kristin's husband, Abri Van Straten and Tara's husband, Chris Pierce.
Teri and Tracy of the Amanda Foundation were there and also provided a silent auction with many True Blood items. The Vault donated original autographed items that included an SFX Magazine, photo of Kristin Bauer and Alexander Skarsgård and an illustration of Deborah Ann Woll in an outfit from Season 5. I'm happy to say that the items were sold to benefit the dogs and cats at the no kill shelter.
While there, out in front of Molly Malones, where the event took place, I interviewed Tara and Kristin together. We discussed The Amanda Foundation, Kristin's new documentary, "Out For Africa," their latest acting projects and, of course a tiny bit about True Blood.
Watch it below.
Here are some photos of Teri and Kristin when they visited the farm where they saw the elephants and rhinos as Kristin mentioned in the video.
Read more about Tara's new film, The Pact here and Kristin's new pilot for Cinnamon Girl, here.

Hi, everyone!! Im very new to zen cart and the forum. Im pretty sure this topic has been covered in the forum, but somehow I cant find the answer for it (I must be missing some zen cart lingos). Today, I have questions about shipping module.
I would like to offer 3 different flat rate shippings for US and Canada, and shipping rate based on number of items and two flat rates for rest of the world.
For example,
For US:
$1 flat rate for any number of items
$5 via Priority Mail
$10 via Express Mail
For Canada:
$1 flat rate for any number of items
$10 via Priority Mail International
$12 via Express Mail International
For rest of the world:
Air mail rate based on number of items (e.g. $2 for up to 10 items, $3 for 11~20 items, $4 for 21~30 items and so on)
$12 via Priority Mail International
$20 via Express Mail International
I have managed to set up $1 flat rate shipping for US and Canada so far (I created a zone definition for US CA flat rate which includes all states and providences).
But rest of the set up, Im lost how to do it.
Can someone teach me how to do it?? Any help is much appreciated.

Anyone an Illustrator expert?
Just trying to add a texture to the swatches panel so I can fill vector drawings with it. Followed these simple steps:
But when I try to drag the image into the swatches panel it just 'dings' and wont work - no error message. Another online tutorial warns that you can't drag and drop in Placed images, so what can I drag and drop in?Open the File menu and select Place. Locate the file you want to use in the browser pop-up and double-click it. Illustrator places it in the currently active canvas. Drag and drop the image into the Swatches panel. The image is converted into a texture, but the texture is only available in the current document.

Sikkim has a past history of its own. Prior to its merger with the Union of India in the year 1975 by the Constitution (Thirty Sixth Amendment) Act, 1975, the erstwhile Sikkim was under a monarchy. The King who was popularly known as "the Chogyal" was the fountainhead of justice. Kings words were the laws. Under the then administrative set up there was no place for an independent judiciary. The judicial procedure being followed then was very simple and free from legal technicalities. The Courts were dispensing substantive justice based on the principle of justice, equity and good conscience. Lawyers were not allowed to appear in Court. The available records do not throw much light into the remote past. It can, however, be gathered from these records that the administration of justice in Sikkim in the last century was being carried out by the Feudal Landlords (Adda Courts), Jongpons (District Officers). Pipons (Headmen) and Mandals with the Chogyal at the top. In 1909, Kazis, Thikadars and Lamas were invested with judicial powers by a State Council resolution. They could try civil suits up to the valuation of Rs. 500/-.

Natalie Portman Didn't Have Cake At Her Wedding
The only answer to the question "Who in the hell doesn't serve cake at their wedding?" has sadly been answered. When Natalie Portman married that French dude who can tickle the air with his pointed feet, she had a strictly vegan menu, she wore an Italian toddler's communion dress circa 1964 and instead of delicious cake, she served French macarons. Some whores go to weddings to see two hos unite their love in front of God or whatever, but I only go to weddings for the cake (even if the cake is a sheet cake from Sam's Club) and for the open bar (even if the open bar is a plastic trash can full of ice bags and Coors).
People says that Natalie's reputation as a snobby leaf-humper of the highest degree remains intact, because she used local wildflowers instead of having flowers flown in and didn't serve anything that used to have a face on it to her 60 guests, which included Diane Sawyer, Mike Nichols, supposed heroin head Macaulay Culkin, Rashida Jones and Ivanka Trump. And again, she didn't serve CAAAAAAAAAKE!
I can eat a wooden bowl full of dehydrated baby's breath covered in kale foam as long as I know I'm getting some kind of delicious cake afterward. Yes, one can try to say that macarons are kind of like the French babies of CAKE, but it's still not CAKE. I wanna eat the mother! If Natalie Portman ever gets married again and you're invited to the wedding, make sure to call the local pizza place before the ceremony and tell them to meet you in the parking lot about 10 minutes into the reception. You'll be the one standing by the rented Dodge, holding the box of Little Debbie Zebra Cakes your ass bought at the nearest gas station.
When I first wrote about Natalie Portman's wedding, I was going to say that she probably each of her guests a baby tree as a parting gift. I was close, because she gave them a packet of wildflower seeds. WILDFLOWER SEEDS! That way each guest can plant those seeds in their backyard and every time they look at those flowers, they can think of how Natalie's cake-hating hippie ass drove them to suck down a log of Quarter Pounders smothered in Duncan Hines frosting at 3am in their hotel room. I mean, she didn't have CAKE! Illegal!

I still expect a gift, the register is at the Fair Trading Equal Profits Helping the Farmers Free Slaves Foundation for the Preservation of Endangered Pigeons shop.
they have a store at 5th avenue new york.
Foxxy - I don't like cake, or sweet things very much at all, but tres leches cake I will eat. And devour the entire piece.
A dry wedding? That is when you hide a bottle in your car and make frequent, sly trips to the parking lot.

Oh, and I HATE weddings. What a waste of money and time. And these assholes who have million dollar blow outs piss me off even more with their written vows, their stupid fucking initials EVERYWHERE, and dumb ass ice luges! Then you get a fucking email a year and a half later that announces a divorce.
Vegas, and then round trip/open dated tickets to the Dominican Republic, since a divorce is probably inevitable.
I'm a cynic, I know. There are many happy dlisted couples, but as a whole being married or even living with someone unmarried is hell on earth.
LOL, THIS! Weddings have become such a status symbol that the entire meaning is lost. I don't revel in anyone's misfortune, but when I hear of couples who divorce shortly after their bloated weddings, a part of me feels quite satisfied at the knowledge that I'm not wrong or bitter for finding the whole thing obnoxious.
You shouldn't have to take out a second mortgage to get married. Simple is best.

How the hell do you make vegan macarons? I'm sure she served nice food though, vegan food is great when someone has taken the care and expense to get it right.

EC - OMG! It was the most relaxing week of my LIFE. I'm still drooling over the jerk chicken they served there. I have NEVER been able to find another jerk chicken that tastes even remotely as epic as theirs was.
Would be the right thing to give to me - I love seeds (and plants) - fuck lottery tickets.
There are always people who like this or hate that - so what?!
That was really a Cat "Reeeaaaarr!" response.
You said it perfectly, "So what?" You like one thing I don't like. Why you have to be like that? I just tried to go with with the lowest common denominator. Not everyone likes Seeds, Bubbles, or Jordan Almonds, etc. But who doesn't like winning free money? Like I already said it may not have been the most sophisticated, but it was fun.
Diamond and Louise should have been there! HAaAAHAH Nightmare.
And sappling, on no!
"CAUTION: Delusion ahead." MK
DD - I was initially planning on having a traditional wedding in town, but then once I started scouting places and getting quotes on shit I said FUCK THAT. I'm not going to debt for $50K just for a GD wedding. And my mother was starting to become a nighmare suggesting shit SHE wanted and also suggesting I wear her wedding dress.
Um. no.
Vegas became the quick, easy and cheap decision rather quickly. Plus the entire thing has sentimental value to it.
We were already going to Vegas for my MIL's surprise 60th b-day. Everyone in the family except for her knew that 1. We were all going to Vegas for her 60th. 2. That BH and I were getting married that weekend. 3. My family was there also.
On the night of her 60th at dinner BH handed her an invitation to the wedding (the following day).
Great memories!

However, no matter how die-hard whatever-you-are, you must consider your guests' preferences. What other party do you host where almost all of your guests will be spending money to drive or fly to get to your location and have to get a hotel room for a weekend? Your guests may even have to take time off work to be able to get to your wedding. That's a pretty big sacrifice -- only to be rewarded with tofu-chicken-nuggets-look-alikes and some coconut water? (BTW, I love coconuts and all little coconut products. I'm NOT dissing the coconut. Tofu, yes. Coconut, no.) :)
That is not what vegan food is. If you believe that eating animals is wrong, why should you alter your beliefs to appease others? No one bitches about it when it's a food restriction tied to a religion.
Oh, I loves my french macarons with a strong french press brew. But this is not what was awful about this wedding I'm sure. It was everything else.
I give these two 3.5 years. You know she has to prove her point and will try her hardest to do so. 'I didn't just get knocked up by sombody else's man while filming a movie , just weeks after getting fingered by married Sean Penn in an elevator at a film festival. Okay?'
Btw, she is currently the spokeswhore for Dior who tests chemicals on animals.
Their wedding sounds laaaaaaame. At my wedding, we didn't spent a ton of money on the flowers and opted for a DJ instead of a band to cut costs, but we went all out on really nice food and appetizers and an open bar throughout the night (and nice wines with dinner). That is the only perk for all your guests that you've dragged from all parts of the country to see your stupid wedding. They've spent money getting there, they've bought you gifts, they sat through your boring ceremony, the least you can do is reward them with the good shit at the reception.

Of course in all the advertisments you see hot bodies! Like I said, we only got to see a glimpse.
At our resort women were topless everywhere, and they were not hot. My milk filled udders would have looked better melting in the sun.

If you're convinced that animals should be spared, it would hurt you to go after your "guests preferences" - so I wouldn't do it either. I rather have some people being mad at me than to regret having had dead animals on my wedding because other people wanted it.
It's a different thing when you're carnivor and think about having a salad or two for the vegetarians, but even that is out of question for most people.
I'm not as pissed as I sound, btw.
Fondant covered wedding cakes might as well be flushed down the toilet instead of eaten. Fondant is the work of the devil!
I recently went to a wedding where they gave everyone a pine tree sapling. I actually found it quite sweet. *shrugs shoulders*
But we did have cake. :-)

Yup. He took her there a couple of years ago on their SECOND DATE!! No shit. They had been to dinner once, a few days later he called her up and asked if she wanted to go to Hedonism in Jamaica with him... been together ever since. The pictures I saw were all smokin hot bods...

I think most wedding favors are pretty crappy, but SEEDS? WTF? I gave my guests lottery tickets in their placeholders. It may not have been the most sophisticated but it was still fun.
Also I wouldn't have spent as much as I did, because my mom got shitfaced and practically ruined the day for me. She flashed the groomsmen her bare ass while saying "Look no underwear!" I was so mortified. That was 5 years ago and I'm still flaming pissed at her antics.
The cake was incredible though: chocolate cake with chocolate ganache + chocolate-hazelnut (aka nutella) fillings and a white choclate icing and shell instead of fondant. We get a small replica made every year for the two of us and drive two hours to get it. It was that good. Yay Cake!
Jacko - they're going to the nudie resort? O_o

Weezy - On our 1 year anniversary, when we hosted the "reception" party for friends and extended family, it was held at my in laws house, was totally informal and people had a great time. I had an open bar, disposable cameras at all the tables. Immediately following the party we got picked up by a towne car and headed to the airport for a week in Jamaica.
Sounds like so much fun. Small, intimate and informal is the way to go. The one thing I would never compromise on is food, a great photographer and a good alcohol.
Sorry, but it sounds to me like she's just being cheap. I like how it was private and she's not broadcasting it like the other fame whores, though.
I really can't understand people bitching about friends weddings that are cash bar or dry or don't serve the food YOU don't like. It's not your fucking wedding and weddings are expensive as shit. That couple thought of you as a good enough friend to invite you to their wedding and celebrate their union. You don't have to fucking go, no one is forcing you. If you want an open bar and steak, have it at your own damn wedding. Some people can't afford an open bar.

Thanks, DiamondDogs. I had never imagined a huge, expensive ceremony. I dislike being the center of attention. Our ceremony was short, sweet and simple. We took everything on faith as far as booking everything sight unseen and it worked out wonderfully. We have some really incredible photos, the best of which is us embracing/kissing while the surf splashed behind us. It was a perfect moment.

We adore bands that push the boundaries and we regularly punt artists that are trying to create something new and interesting at the cutting edges of music. Really we do. However, today's recommendation have no such intention. Some designs are so perfect to start with that there's no point searching for unnecessary changes – that's just change for change's sake. New York's hot new disco collective, Escort, are making the musical equivalent of the wheel, so perfect and well-crafted are their disco hits that there's absolutely zero need for any re-invention of the genre. This is pimped-up, stacked-heels-disco and if you can't indulge yourself in this guiltiest of pleasures then we suggest that you're simply too cathartic. It's time to loosen up.
Touted as 'disco revivalists', what we are witnessing here is actually devoid of any new air being breathed into the 70s genre, not so much reviving it as cloning it. Their not taking bits and pieces of disco's style and throwing it into a contemporary new mixture. Far from it. This isn't Fan Death or The Golden Filter. There is no electro bit. There is no sultry, modern elements on top of it. What we find here is the purest of disco, delivered in a precise and rather brilliant package. They earn their Recommender badges today not for their invention, but for simply producing such a quality set of confident hits.
Escort were founded by producers, Eugene Cho and Dan Balis, adding the beautiful singer, Adeline Michèle, on vocals. They expand to a 17-strong(!) team when performing live and it's their shows around the venues of their home city of New York – disco's natural home – that have driven their reputation skywards. Their performances have every orchestral element you would hope to see too, with a backline of brass and strings, as well as guitarists that play whilst stepping to set dance routines in unison. This is a band that have their lazer-guided sights aiming straight at your feet. Too often we find bands focusing so much on being musicians, crafting in the studio as best they can, but they sometimes seem to give less thought towards being performers. In today's modern era a good live set is pretty much essential and Escort have it nailed.
Following a string of singles over recent years they're finally ready to unleash their self-titled debut album on November 15th through their own Escort label, (although Tirk will handle the release in the UK). You can plunder the classic acts for comparisons, such as Earth Wind & Fire, The Trammps, Kool & The Gang, Chic, or KC & The Sunshine Band. In managing to match the retro with a deadly live set in which you don't know where to look, you can add comparisons to their fellow New York peers, The Phenomenal Handclap Band. What we often find with comparisons to the classic artists is the contemporary versions only ever seem like pale imitations, but here we have a team writing new disco that feels just as timeless as that from their forebears. The Scissor Sisters' Jake Shears even described them as "the best disco you've ever heard". By focusing on the need for quality musicians and immaculate productions, Escort have developed an exciting album, proving that you don't have to be old-fashioned to do things the old-fashioned way.

Corsicana —
For Texas Representative Byron Cook, the upcoming legislative session makes this a crucial election. Cook is running for reelection as a Republican to the Texas House of Representatives.
In 2013, he predicts a rewriting of the school finance system, probably in a special session, as well as consideration of a new electricity supply plan, which he thinks will be necessary to prevent rolling blackouts in 2015.
"We've identified that without bringing new (electricity) generation on-line, particularly starting in 2015, we're not going to have adequate generation," he said. "It's my belief that if we don't help work towards having the right market signals, we're not going to have enough. That will mean two things: Potential risk of managed brown-outs and black-outs starting in 2015, and no question, when your supply side shrinks pricing will go up."
The Texas Legislature only meets in session for 140 days in odd-numbered years, but Cook has turned the $7,200 a year job into a full–time job, going regularly back and forth to Austin and working even in off-years to prepare for the sessions.
"I want to do a good job for the people of this district and the people of Texas," he said.
If reelected, Cook said the next session won't be quite as brutal as the budget-cutting session of 2011.
"Obviously, we've been getting signs of improvement from the comptroller's office," he said. "I don't believe it's going to be like it was in the last session, but when you look at the fact that we have a growing population and those numbers put pressure on all the services that the state provides ... funding will continue to be a top priority."
The state has been sued over what many school districts see as an illegal tight squeeze from the state. Texas has put new harder testing requirements on the school districts, but not provided them with more money. The case went to court early this week.
"I can't see the legal process playing itself out before we go into session," Cook said. "What I'm concerned about is I have a rural district and I want to make sure rural schools are fairly treated with respect to the funding."
As chairman of the powerful State Affairs Committee, Cook says he has the connections and relationships in Austin to help the district and the state. By way of example, he points to the Corsicana Treatment Center, which houses high-risk youth offenders.
"There is always going to be a need for that," he said. "I believe that puts this facility in a very unique position prospectively."
He also points to the efforts by local officials, which, added to his voice, helped get funding for a relief route around Corsicana and the recent state grant for Pactiv, to allow that company to add more jobs and expand the line.
"I consider it to be a wonderful opportunity not only for the people who are going to be beneficiaries of the new jobs, but making sure the people who have worked there for a long time continue to have great jobs at that company" he said. "That wasn't a legislative effort but was certainly an initiative where relationships and an understanding of how the process works was very important to the community, and I was really honored to be part of it."
With respect to the relief loop around Corsicana, Cook said that was definitely a group project between local and state officials to get the funding but it's going to benefit this county and the state.
"Highway 31 is a relief route off Interstate 35, so it's strategic to the long-term," Cook said. "I think that project is going to continue to move forward and I think it will benefit the area in the long run."
Other issues that will affect both state and local residents include water supply issues, the state retirement system's health care insurance, and the electricity supply.
"These are the kinds of things I enjoy working on," Cook said.

Merchant Navy careers: Get paid in US dollars
Editorial Team833|6Last Updated:11:47 am, May 30, 2012Bhavya Kohli, director, International Maritime Institute, in Noida speaks about why the Merchant Navy is a good place to earn in US dollars, travel the world and get a lot of free time…
1. What skills does a student require to be a successful Merchant Seafarer?
A student needs to have basic problem solving skills, an eye for detail, decision making ability, problem solving capability, good communication skills.
Being athletic and having a good built are also key attributes. Apart from this he/she needs to be practical and adaptable, calm in emergencies, quick and efficient. I think it's a matter of living in harmony with people, machines and the environment.
2. What are best parts of being the Merchant Navy?
You get tax free salaries in US dollars as well as large chunks of time off. Adventurous, interesting, challenging, industrious career are some keywords of being in the Merchant Navy.
About 90% of the world trade is carried out by shipping — if the merchant navy were to stop; half the world would starve and the other half would freeze.
3. What are the challenges of the job?
The biggest challenge is getting along with people you have never met before. There are people of various nationalities on a ship with language usually being a big barrier (these days most people speak English though), this is where your willingness to go outside your comfort zone will make a difference. Also, at sea, you are in a sense isolated.
You don't have the option to go to a warm home and "recharge your batteries". Everyone on a ship is qualified to be there and competent. You can work together to tackle big technical challenges.
4. What is a fresher's salary?
Salaries are tax free. A fresher cadet has a salary package up to the range of USD 300 to 600 per month (approx Rs 16800-33,600).
After doing the basic apprenticeship, starting salaries are in the range of USD 1500-2500 a month (approx Rs 84,000-1,40,067).
Captains/Chief Engineers earn up to USD 10,000 – 20,000 per month (approx Rs 5,60,268 to 11,20,267).
5. What kind of firms will hire a Merchant Seafarer?
Some of recruiting partners at the International Maritime Institute include MSC, Anglo Eastern, Fleet Ship Mgt, Univan, V Ships, Zodiac, ID Shipping etc.

Thuraya-2, the second satellite built by Boeing for Thuraya Satellite Telecommunications Company of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, rocketed to geosynchronous transfer orbit Tuesday morning aboard a Zenit-3SL provided by Sea Launch Company, LLC.
The Boeing GEO-Mobile model satellite lifted off at 6:56 a.m. PDT (13:56 GMT) from the Odyssey Launch Platform positioned on the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The spacecraft separated from the launch vehicle approximately one hour and 40 minutes after the launch, and minutes later its first signals were received at a Telemetry, Tracking and Control Station at Uralla, Australia, confirming normal operation.
"The newest light in the heavens is Thuraya-2, a mobile communications satellite that will help connect users on the move within a vast area of the globe," said Dave Ryan, president of spacecraft builder Boeing Satellite Systems International. "A thorough check-out on orbit lies ahead for the satellite, and we are confident that it will soon take its place as a vital long-term asset supporting Thuraya's future growth."
Built in El Segundo (CA), Thuraya-2 is designed to operate for 12 years at the 44 degrees East longitude orbital slot. The satellite will add capacity to the Thuraya network, which provides mobile voice and data communication services to a region of more than 100 countries in Europe, the Middle East, North and Central Africa, and Central and South Asia.

Featuring Joe Budden (with a gun), Rik Cordero, Miss Info, Tahiry and more. Padded Room drops next Tuesday (February 24th) on Amalgam Digital. And hit the jump for some (Tahiry's) behind the scenes of Joey's In My Sleep video.
Featuring Joe Budden (with a gun), Rik Cordero, Miss Info, Tahiry and more. Padded Room drops next Tuesday (February 24th) on Amalgam Digital. And hit the jump for some (Tahiry's) behind the scenes of Joey's In My Sleep video.
Man, I actually had to laugh watchin Budden clown around. But on some serious shit, Padded Room, February 24th, support real artists. Joe Budden, Slaughterhouse, Drake, etc… We are the ones that dictate what gets played. Support artists and not "rappers"!!!
Padded Room had about 5 good tracks, 2 great and the rest were ehhh. I like the lyrics but the songs itself (beats,hooks,etc) were not all that. Halfway House is better
Way to support man
true Halfway house was better than Padded Room. I was mad dissappointed.
steph, why would someone support something when it is awful. if budden's album was good, I would've bought it but it was terrible.
I was going to buy it, but after I heard it I changed my mind. Next Up Wale… if that ever comes out
yall niggas is mad dumb. listen to the album more then once and tell me it sucks……smh
Yo shake! Props on that still of miss info! She was lookin DAMN good there!!!! Might be my yellow fever actin up, but I think I'm in love! Hahahahha….
Joe Budden DAMN!!!! that is all.
buddens is the best
wow, way to support a lyricist judging you're purchase of an album strictly on beat selection and we wonder why they say hip-hop is dead
you make mistakes like me as far as i can see
i think its a mockery whenever rich niggas win the lottery
gave us bush twice, god, i hate to be rude
but you let skinny niggas starve give obese niggas food
the nerve of you tellin me i dont deserve to stay here
when you gave us drugs and guns, you put aids here
take a look at you, yo ass is the cold hearted
the harsh shit is you bring babies in the world retarded
damn i love that track
I pre-ordered the album already, and just copped off iTunes also. That's right double the support bitches, lol. Joey is that dude.
Cool video. I hope he gets that next album out quick cuz Padded Room aint cutting it. And get a new studio/engineer cuz I've heard better recordings from cheap home studios. Joe's lyrics can't always carry him over this cheap sounding production, especially when the sound quality is bad. He deserves better beats, holla at Kno.
And leave them damn rock n roll tracks alone.
i fucks with joe.
i'ma cop the 24th.
Adrenaline was one of the best tracks on there. That jawn rocks hard in the car speakers. Dub B knew what he was doing with that. Granted, maybe it shouldn't have been placed right after "I Can't Help It", but you can't deny it's impact.
I will agree on getting some better producers, but hey, what can you really do with an Amalgam Ditigal budget?
I know I'm going to buy it on Tuesday even tho I also agree that Halfway House was better.
Lol, I refuse to download it.
Like, this sounds lame – but for me it's true.
It's really like looking at a christmas gift before christmas.
I don't want to hear it until Tuesday.
I'm just going to buy it.
What happened to being a fan of hip-hop, you know?
Just copping shit with hopes of it being hot and then trash talk it if it's not.
That's the fun of it.
Niggas spend $10 on dime bags.
You can't smoke the blunt before you buy it, right?
"I downloaded the bud, if it's fire I'll cop it – if not.. fuck it."
Buy it, have fun with it.
If it's wack, it's wack.
I guess I'm one of the last album buying niggas, lol.
(I never intended for this to be so long, btw.)
I downloaded it, pre-ordered it, and I'm a go and cop it on Tuesday. Great album. Off the album there is only 3 tracks that I'm not crazy about and that's hard to come by now-a-days! Always support real Hip Hop and real artists!!!

Voice of the Restaurant Industry
Last week, Facebook purchased Instagram, the barely 2-year old photo sharing startup for $1 billion dollars. The New York Times recently chronicled Instagram's road to success, struggling as a fledgling start-up to keep up with server demand as thousands downloaded the iPhone version of the app and began uploading pictures hours after it…

I loved the girl football player. My daughter has 2 older brothers and wrestled as a young girl and took 2nd at state in the 5-6 year old division. Always played on the boys all-star baseball team and today she is the quarterback for the LFL Seattle Mist Football team. Outside of sports she is a sweetheart and an awesome wonderful kind considerate young woman. I love her with all my heart. On the field...look out. If you have connections, I'd love to see her on Dancing with the stars or she would love amazing race.

i have been freelancing for friends of mine who have their own agencies.
And that's about it for the last 10 years - and i'm getting awfully tan by the lake.
It's time to get back to work.
VP National Creative Director Austin Knight Chicago 1995-2000
Manage the staff (4 hubs, 47 people), operations ($60... million) and product
(see awards) for the agency on a national level. This includes supervising
production for the agency's nine offices; leading the Chicago-based national
creative team in developing and executing integrated marketing and employer
branding strategies; and playing an integral role in introducing, implementing,
and managing the agency's Account Planning function. Well, somebody had to do it.
West Coast Creative Director Austin Knight San Francisco 1993-1995
The powers that be were happy enough with my ACD work to promote
and transfer me to the west coast. While there, I restructured staff, processes
and procedures to raise the bar a few notches... enough to get me promoted
again and moved home.
Associate Creative Director Austin Knight Chicago 1990-1993
Got thrown into an agency management role and discovered I was good at it.
Learned how to get the best from the talent. And how to get what I wanted
from management.
Art Director 1987-1990
Took my University of Wisconsin education and moved to Chicago
where I worked freelance for three years. It felt like twelve.
Chicago Show 1999 Finalist - Banner Advertising
Print Regional Design Annual 1997
New York Festivals 1995-1997 - seven Finalist Awards
Industry Awards (EMA) - 65 since 1995
Creative departments are like neighborhoods. The really interesting ones
are aesthetically-pleasing, have a strong sense of community and are fully
integrated. And of course, puppy dogs are welcome.

Ornette Coleman
Ornette Coleman
Multi-instrumentalist Ornette Coleman is the only musician fearless enough to back up a record presumptuously titled The Shape Of Jazz To Come. Now, 51 years after that influential release, Coleman continues to break and redefine the limits of jazz—though the seemingly chaotic nature of his improvised works belies Coleman's commitment to the innovative composition technique he dubs "harmolodics." An infrequent presence in the recording studio these days—his most recent LP was 2006's Sound Grammar—Coleman can still be heard onstage regularly, playing with his wailing approach to the saxophone.
