Lance Hoyt
Real Name
Lance Hoyt
Date of Birth
February 28, 1977
Place of Birth
While he has been making a name for himself in New Japan, Lance Hoyt often likes to come back to the United States and relaxes in Texas. The former WWE and TNA star decided to take in a special concert this weekend. In this Twitter posts, he reveals that he is a big fan of Vanilla Ice.
March 2, 2014
Since leaving WWE, David Hart Smith has found a new lease on life by becoming a rising star for New Japan. He is being booked frequently, where he and Lance Hoyt have been involved in the IWGP tag team championship program with Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows. He also posted this picture on Twitter about how great of a shape he is in now.
February 9, 2014
Lance Hoyt challenged Howard Stern after the radio personality made some derogatory comments about wrestling.
November 5, 2013
Over the last few weeks, Mick Foley has drawn some heat from WWE fans because he has been critical of the product that Vince McMahon and Triple H are producing, especially in regards to how they are utilizing Daniel Bryan. Foley will probably draw some further ire with this Twitter post, where he praises Impact Wrestling.
March 8, 2014
Through Twitter, Chyna revealed that she was recently approached by a filmmaker about the possibility of doing a documentary on her life. She asked her fans for their feedback on that, but it appears that she is quite interested in being back in the spotlight, which the film would enable the former WWE star to do on a smaller scale.
March 8, 2014
Since Kurt Angle is now injured and requires surgery, the match against Ethan Carter at TNA Lockdown 2014 has been canceled. However, Carter has now confirmed through Twitter that he will indeed be working the pay per view still. No word on who the replacement opponent may be at this time. An impromptu match with Eric Young is a possibility.
March 7, 2014
After watching the Chicago crowd at Monday Night Raw rooting heavily for CM Punk, Bully Ray took to Twitter to post this vague message about how it has helped him make an important career decision. That has led to speculations that he could be returning to WWE, even though he clearly stated that Impact Wrestling was involved.
March 7, 2014
There has been heavy speculations about the status of Brooke Tessmacher in TNA this week. Many are under the belief that the Knockout has left the promotion. The source of the rumors stem from the fact that she changed her Twitter and Instagram handles. She also posted a message talking about changes. TNA still has her listed on the official roster page.
March 6, 2014
When Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso captured the WWE tag team championship from Billy Gunn and road Dogg, they received a lot of congratulations messages from their peers, but the most meaningful one might have came from Booker T, their former trainer. He posted this message on Twitter to share how proud he is of his former students.
March 6, 2014
Fans were a bit shocked recently to hear that Buff Bagwell has decided to make the jump from professional wrestling to male escorting. Apparently, his former WCW coworker Konnan caught him on television and made this comment on Twitter about the situation.
March 6, 2014
Through Twitter, Jeff Jarrett revealed yesterday that he spent hours looking through videos. The TNA founder stated that he was searching for talent for the new project that he has been working on since the start of the year. Many are under the impression that it is a wrestling promotion, but speculations as of late are that it might be something else.
March 5, 2014
Back in October, Orlando Jordan captured the headlines when he revealed on Twitter that he was getting married. Fans were shocked when it was discovered that the openly bisexual wrestler was tying the knot with a woman. Since then, he has kept relatively quiet on the social media site, only posting short messages on holidays.
March 5, 2014
A couple of weeks ago, Shelton Benjamin revealed to fans on Twitter that he was a fast healer. Well, he was not kidding. Benjamin has just announced that he is heading back overseas to do a tour for New Japan. He is leaving the United States some time next week. The former WWE star had surgery back in January for an injured elbow.
March 5, 2014
Having established himself as a performer in New Japan, David Hart Smith wanted to gain even more experience, so the son of the legendary British Bulldog continues to book himself at shows all over the world. This weekend, he is working in the United Kingdom. He and Lance Hoyt are expected to be returning to Japan very soon.
March 2, 2014
While there was some interest in bringing him back a couple of months ago, it does not appear that Lance Hoyt will be coming back to TNA anytime soon. He is currently thriving as a tag team with David Hart Smith in New Japan right now, and the money there is higher than what he would be paid if he was working Impact Wrestling again.
February 11, 2014
New Japan is doing a show in Hiroshima this weekend, and one of the top matches features performers that WWE fans will recognize. Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows will be defending the IWGP tag team championship against David Hart Smith and Lance Hoyt. The main event is a heavyweight title fight between Hiroshi Tanahashi and Shinsuke Nakamura.
February 8, 2014
There's talks that TNA is interested in bringing Lance Hoyt, who has been thriving in Japan as of late, back on a short term basis.

Windows Defender on Win 8 is NOT MSE on Win 7 and earlier.
quote:In Windows 8 and Windows RT, Windows Defender provides the same level of protection against malware as Microsoft Security Essentials.
I scanned 3 different computers that used MSE with MalwareBytes, and all 3 came up with something - each different. It certainly is a good reminder to have more than one thing protecting you.
You scan with what?
Malwarebytes Anti Malware.»www.malwarebytes.org/People here seem to love it. I don't like any program that tries to force me to use download.com. I immediately suspect a program that is run SO POORLY that they hope you get a virus from downloading it from that horrble site that is virus ridden and then they can impress you with detection.I have used it in the past and it finds only a bunch of FP's. I don't respect programs that do that. It may have stopped doing that as I haven't used in in several years...but it is a HUGE PUT OFF AND RED FLAG to click on "download now" on Malwarebytes website only to be taken to "download.com". I have to put garbage site "download.com" in my hosts file.
Yes unfortunately MalwareBytes a few years ago made the really annoying download.com link the only link easily clicked on. Before then it was easy to find another mirror. So these days if I need it I end up downloading it from one of the big reputable software mirroring sites like Major Geeks.
quote:All Microsoft Antimalware protection clients listed below will be using the same underlying technologies and offer the same level of protection:SCEP SP1FEP with Update Rollup 1 + future updateWindows Defender included with Windows 8MSE
Malwarebytes, and most other software of that type can be downloaded from BleepingComputer.
Thank you! I had forgotten about downloading from BleepingComputer.
Here is an official website »www.malwarebytes.org/
I think OP's point was even the MB home page points to an external download link and not directly from MB.
As far as the pop-ups, you can set Avast to Silent mode right in the settings (Settings -> Silent / Gaming Mode)Can't help on avoiding the Chrome nag, though.
I checked my registry and was disappointed to find that even Avast free left entries for the Google Chrome browser even though I declined it on install. Still, I find that less obnoxious than the Ask Toolbar or worse.MSE and the open source ClamAV (real-time protection added with Clam Sentinel) might be the only truly free AV's for Windows (no foistware), but both have such poor detection rates in tests that I don't plan on reinstalling MSE any time soon.
Yes, SuperAntiSpyware is excellent also. I have it on my XP computer. I should put it on this new Win 8 computer also. Thanks for reminding me.OOPS!!!! Superantispyware DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 8!VERY FEW SECURITY PROGRAMS WORK ON WINDOWS 8. I always thought I would get Online Armor once I could not use ProcessGuard but it does NOT work on Windows 8. No wonder so many use Windows Defender even if it doesn't provide very good protection.--When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. Thomas Jefferson
What is Windows 8 ?
Huh, says it is. I can't see why it wouldn't be Win 8 compatible.»www.superantispyware.com/support···ml?faq=6People report it working on Win8 if you google it too.
There is a box to uncheck that turns the Pro trial off just before the program launches for the first time. Don't have a screen shot handy at the moment, but it is after the install. The 3 check boxes are "Launch Pro trial", "Update Definitions", and "Launch MalwareBytes" (or words to that effect). All are checked by default and you are NOT required to use the Pro trial at all.Found a screen shot of the old version, new version adds the Pro trial option.
I have heard that a lot of apps that work under Win 7 would not work under Win 8.
I haven't seen any yet. I'd say you were given false information. It's built on the longhorn core just like Windows 7, and Vista. It's all Windows 6.x.--I'm with the Central Government. I'm here to help you. Now bend over, really, I'm helping you, just, just stay still. You'll feel better in a moment.
No, I have tried SIX TIMES FROM DIFFERENT DOWNLOAD SITES and ALL install the Pro trial version. There is NO way to decline the trial!
I haven't seen any yet. I'd say you were given false information. It's built on the longhorn core just like Windows 7, and Vista. It's all Windows 6.x.

If there's one thing I hate doing on a Friday evening, it's working on a plumbing project. It's even worse if it's in a tight space. And it's especially miserable if a toilet is involved. A few weeks ago I had the holy trinity of plumbing misery, the hat trick of plumbing madness: a toilet project in a tight space on a Friday night.
This wasn't a major repair. I just had to add a sprayer hose to our toilet for cloth diapering. Some may argue that the worst was yet to come (I'd be inclined to agree). Regardless, it was a really, really easy project.
I watched a video on YouTube just to make sure I had it right, worked my hand under the tank, gave the plastic washer a twist, and promptly sent water flooding the bathroom floor.
How did I manage to screw up a really simple project? I fiddled with it and mopped up my mess as I continued to struggle. This couldn't be THAT hard?
As if a button had just been pushed, I started to fume, thinking angry thoughts and getting frustrated with myself. It evolved and compounded and expanded until I was completely undone, hardly able to think logically.

Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl: The Power of Creatine Multiplied...
Where Regular Creatine is Lacking
Creatine is by far, one of the best discoveries that has ever hit the bodybuilding/fitness world. Creatine monohydrate has proven effective in increasing Muscle Enhancement, strength and all around athletic performance.
Although, with every good thing comes a cost. Creatine monohydrates absorption rate is poor and is only as good as the cells ability to absorb it. Thus, creatine transporters, such as huge amounts of sugar, and loading phases are needed. Saturating the system in creatine is thought to help with its absorption, but leads to bloating, cramping and dehydration. So ask yourself this question: Does putting more gas in your car make it go faster?
Significant Absorption Means Impressive Results
Axis Labs has just exhausted the competition. Creatine Ethyl Ester HCl is an exceptionally soluble creatine resulting in advanced absorption, increased bioavailability, and stability. Instead of saturating your system in creatine and hoping for absorption, creatine ethyl ester directly penetrates the muscle cell resulting in 30 to 40 times more functional creatine. This means no more loading, bloating, cramping or dehydration. Most users notice a difference in their first dose.

I enjoyed the quesadilla - but it wasn't clear from the menu whether it was to share or for one - I had no idea how big it would be! As it was it made a fine lunch - and the food was very fresh inside it.

uWink is nothing more than a novelty. The table screens completely dominate the dining experience to the point that you need to move to the side just to eat comfortably. The food is good but not outstanding. The games mostly left me shaking my head. For example, my friend and I wanted to play a game against each other but were annoyed to find that most of the games do not allow you to compete directly against your table mate. And very few of the games are actually very challenging. It all seems just a little half hearted.
Two things that would at least make the experience tolerable would be the ability to surf the Internet and invite other tables to chat. All in all, a mediocre experience.

every time I walk by there, the place is empty. Guess the novelty is wearing off already.
Im looking forward to whatever takes its place--hopefully good food!

Jim West is back in the thick – or thin – of things, now with a survey article of how the sausage-fest controversy spans the globe. And the untiring Deane Galbraith has come up with the t-shirt, beer coaster, cutting board, apron and much more – all with the sausage-fest logo. Tomorrow, the head honcho of SBL, John Kutsko weighs in, since he has owned up to asking Charlie Haws to send me the initial message. A case of the messenger copping the flack. And as yet I have not received word as to what the SBL will do with my paper title or indeed paper, so I can only assume that it will go ahead. Next: maybe a paper called 'The Great Sausage-Fest Controversy: On Minced Meat and Censorship' (ht to DG).

He's still blogging away over at Zwinglius Redivivus, showing a lively interest in matters relating to Exitpoint Stallions and my occasional biblical erotica posts. But at least Jim and I share our Reformed perspectives, although I'm probably a little more heretical than he is.

Jim West does a Lazarus, reincarnated as Zwingli

I have just been slipped a piece of paper (in JW's handwriting, it seems) saying that dear old Jim West has returned, now in the body of Zwingli at Zwinglius Redivivus. Loren Rosson, who seems to have taken a dislike to the mild-mannered man with a sharp tongue, has also picked this up. Just like Lazarus with a quadruple bypass:
Damn, wrong picture – that's Lisa Lazarus. Try again.

Has Jim West ceased blogging?
Posted by stalinsmoustache under blogs | Tags: Jim West |[16] Comments
Word moves quickly, but Scott Bailey reports that Jim West has decided to cease blogging. His blog site is now password protected and he is apparently moving on to greater things. Will he join NT Wrong in the biblioblogging utopia? Who will take his place as the top referrer to Stalin's Moustache? Will there be a second coming? Will it be like that new year resolution to give up smoking? Will he, after a few days of withdrawal symptoms, head to the shop, buy that packet, light up and draw back with pleasure? Or is he really gone? I for one think the world will be a sadder, drearier place without Jim West. It is already bad enough without NT Wrong.

3.94/5 rDev +3.4%
look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
355ml Can from Good Spirits Co, Glasgow (£2.80):
Cloudy orange colour with a large, 2cm tall head that is creamy and foamy whilst holding well.
Yeast and wheat with banana smell and plenty of clove too. Citrus plus a hint of bubblegum but not too much really. Quite a sweet aroma with touches of spice towards the end.
Clove and banana upfront that is backed by plenty of wheat and to a lesser extent some yeast as well. There is a bit of spice and bubblegum around the middle that just about equal each other out and the finish fruity with some citrus and possibly some orange too.
Medium bodied with a light citrus tang and a creamy feel that is quite smooth and goes down easy with a soft, sweet finish.
Very good for my first hefeweizen from a can, a lot better than I was expecting to be honest and the beer is a very easy one to drink. It has a good banana and clove taste that is more German than American in style.
Serving type: can

3.83/5 rDev +0.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
Poured from can into a pint glass
Appearance – The beer pours a super hazy orange-yellow color with a small one finger fizzy white head. The head fades rather rapidly, leaving very little lace and a somewhat persistent thin white film on the top of the brew.
Smell – The aroma is quite nice. It is rather sweet with lots of orange citrus and banana smells. Along with the citrus is a big smell of a yeasty and wheaty smells as well as some lighter aromas of a little bit of grass and herb.
Taste – The taste begins with a rather wheaty and fruity taste with lots of banana. As the flavor advances a yeast cake taste come to the tongue along with some quite light notes of clove. All the while the banana gets even stronger and is joined by flavors of an orange and lemon nature. Some very light grassy and haylike flavors come to the tongue at the end, leaving a sweet, yeasty and fruity hefe flavor to linger on the tongue.
Mouthfeel – The body of the beer is on the slightly thicker side for a brew of only 5.6% abv with a carbonation level that is on the slightly lower side. Both are quite nice for the yeasty flavors of the brew giving it a very sweet wheat bready feel.
Overall – A rather pleasant Hefeweizen. While nothing out of this world, it is easy drinking and a good blend of sweet, fruit and yeast producing a good drinker overall.
Serving type: can

4.43/5 rDev +16.3%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
Poured from the can into a wheat ale glass.
A real nice orange pale amber, opaque with some cola sticking bubbles but a real nice mix of pinhead rising carbonation also. THe head billows large and in control at four fingers, with lots of pin head sized even dancing bubbles, with a nice creamy white appearance and huge retention. Great looking Hefe.
Nose has good citrus lemon, airy dry yeast and a good wheat malt density to it. Light it seems but with some heavy qualities, curious to see where this goes.
Palate fills with a nearly rich but clean feel. Moderately carbonated with a hint of sweet cream but a large lemon and citrus body washes over with a chewy feeling. No banana or cloying sweetness. Malt density is there but has a light feel. Sweet tangerine whaffs over on the swallow with multiple sips from fruity esters.
Overall this is a great hefe, and I like the fact it doesn't have much banana like esters to it and it's so easy drinking and refreshing. Very impressed.

3.88/5 rDev +1.8%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Cloudy honey-amber, almost going ruby, with steady rimming off white froth that speckles and replenishes from a trail of bubble up the middle.
Ripe banana, maybe a bit of mango, some candle wax, and Wheatena on the nose.
Sweet challah dough, a sharp jab of yeast, some appley esters, a bit of woody cinnamon and buzz of noble hops.
Yeasty comeback in the form of bubblegum hit and wood pulp linger.
Lt-med, some chew, lively, crisp, creamy.
Northern Brewer on can.
Everything it should be. Bananas over cloves, and maybe a tad thin, and not very complex (citrus, vanilla, etc. missing) so perhaps not quite up to German standards. But not fair off either.
Classic Hefe, and way drinkable.

3.16/5 rDev -17.1%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 2.75 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3
A hazy yellow beer which glows apricot in the light. Quite pretty.
Smell is promising. Slightly boozy, but with a prominent yeast profile. More spices than fruit in the scent.
The flavor falls short. It's rather bitter and lacks the sweet-n-creamy wheat flavor I expected. I also hoped for more fruity tones, but bitter is really the only impression I'm left with.
Mouth is OK, but a bit watery.

12 oz can poured into a Weizen glass, of course.
A- Hazy, unfiltered wheat beer look all the way. The brewer calls the beer a 'tan' color, and it fits. Looks a little bit golden-orange, too, depeding on the light. The right glassware makes for a big fluffy white head. It lasts and leaves a lot of lacing.
S- Bananas, pear, some light citrus and spice. Yeasty funkiness.
T- Just like the aroma, spot on. The citrus is light and lemony.
M- More body than I expected. A light tasting fruit and spice flavored brew could easily pass on any feel, this one does not. It even has some chewiness from those funky malts. Refreshing.
O-A good effort and version of the style.

Two caches in one post today, folks. The first one we looked for in Lovettsville, Virginia we couldn't find, it was located at an interesting building. The museum wasn't open, unfortunately so we couldn't check it out.
Our next cache was an easy find at a country store. We took a small piece of pyrite and left our card. One of the kids fell in love with the pyrite so we let him switch it out for a silly band that we will leave at our next find.

The ultimate blog for Lululemon Athletica fans. Photos, reviews, and news of the latest lulu.
Wednesday, June 15, 2011
Hooray, Bruins!
It's always fun when a series is hard fought and goes for seven games. It's especially fun when the underdog comes out on top. My husband is from the Boston area so that means I had more than a usual interest in the games. I'm not a huge hockey follower but since Lululemon is headquartered in Vancouver and my fellow blogger is a big Vancouver fan I could not resist putting the Bruins logo on the page and posting a tiny post about the Bruins. Winning. The. Stanley. Cup!!!
Small Upload Today
A few items were uploaded today and that is supposed to be the entire upload for this week. However, rumors are strong there will be a major upload to the markdown section happening either tonight or tomorrow so keep checking the website. The above photo is the new Shape Me Bra which looks like it may have potential but I think the front looks a bit low cut for bustier ladies. People have noticed that the All Sport bra is on markdown in the stores and the rumor is that they will become a cold weather item and the new Energy bra is the summer bra.
Photo of Inspire crops in the new Dew Berry color. Looks like it could be close to the older Raspberry or Orchid and Hydrangea colors.

Blues Anxious to Get Started Tonight vs. Kings
Friday, 04.27.2012 / 11:57 AM
By Chris Pinkert - St. Louis Blues / Gameday Blog
It's been exactly one week since the Blues wrapped up their first round best-of-7 series with a 3-1 win against the San Jose Sharks, giving the team their longest layoff since the NHL All-Star Break.
With all that time off, is there any reason to be concerned about the Blues starting flat?
"You can go either way," said veteran Scott Nichol, who went to the Western Conference Finals as a member of the Sharks the last two seasons. "It's nice to rest up and heal up a little bit. We just have to control our emotions. We have a young team here and we have to play between the whistles and stay out of the stuff after."
"I think all of us watched the game last night (between Nashville and Phoenix), and Nashville was rusty," Coach Ken Hitchcock said. "That's the fear of any coach coming into any of these competitions. You don't want to be rusty. All of us are hoping we've done everything. I don't think we have the exact answer to that science, but I think all of us are a little bit nervous (because) you don't want to start the game rusty.
"We're hoping we're ready for it and we're hoping we can get our game out there in a hurry."
To give the long layoff some perspective, following a 10-day break for All-Star Weekend in late January, the Blues won 5 of their next 6 games, including a 1-0 victory over Los Angeles in their first game back on Feb. 3.
"It's been a long week, a lot of practice and a lot of things we've gone over," defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. "We're excited to get this thing going and jump into it. Watching the Nashville game last night kind of gives that itch to get things started, so we're pretty excited."
During the regular season, the Blues went 1-2-1 vs. Los Angeles but played all four games without Andy McDonald, who is red-hot entering this series.
McDonald set a career-high for scoring in one playoff series in Round 1 vs. San Jose, scoring 4 goals and 4 assists in just five games, tying him for third among all skaters in points this postseason. He leads all players with 6 power-play points.
The Blues are hoping McDonald will add a new element the Kings haven't seen before.
"Everyone thinks it's going to be a 1-0 game, but playoffs are so different when the level gets cranked up," Nichol said. "I know we have two of the best defensive teams in the league so something's got to give. You want to score that first goal and then maybe it will open up a little bit and we can get another one.
"That's kind of our plan right now."
With McDonald in the lineup, the Blues are 4-0-0 against Los Angeles since Dec. 2009. McDonald has 38 points (8 goals, 30 assists) in 46 career games vs. LA.
- Tonight will be the third time in history the Blues and Kings have met in a playoff series. The Blues have swept the Kings in both previous meetings (1968-69 and 1997-98).
- Brian Elliott will be in goal tonight for Game 1. Earlier this week, Hitchcock said Jaroslav Halak is improving from his lower-body injury suffered in Round 1 but has been ruled out to play in either of the first two games against the Kings. Jake Allen will serve as the backup.
- The Blues will hold a pregame rally outside Scottrade Center prior to tonight's game. The rally kicks off at 4 p.m. and will feature live music from Whiskey Dixon, prize giveaways and more. Fans that post a photo of themselves at the rally on Twitter should use the hashtag: #bluesrally to be entered to win autographed merchandise.
- Fans coming from the Illinois side should note that Westbound I-64/40 is closed from Broadway to 10th Street. Plan accordingly and leave extra time for travel to the game. Puck drop is at 6:30 p.m.
- Tonight's game is available on NBC Sports Network and KMOX 1120 AM.

"Red, White & Blue" ft. Jadakiss
Although not released as an official single from Yo Gotti's Live from the Kitchen album, it managed to garner minor airplay on hip hop radio. It's one of those low key street bangers that hustlers of all types get amped to before the party starts to get thick.

Obama Medicare plan: No voucher but maybe a bill
The Boston Globe / Associated Press, September 24, 2012
With the future of Medicare on the line in the presidential election, The Associated Press asked the Obama campaign five questions about how his plans for seniors' healthcare would affect critical issues of costs and benefits. Unlike Romney, Obama is not calling for a major Medicare remake. Most of the president's cost-cutting ideas are incorporated in his healthcare law, and will phase in unless Romney wins and makes good on his pledge to repeal it. Other Obama proposals are drawn from government advisory groups or bipartisan commissions seeking consensus on how to reduce deficits. AARP gave a thumbs-down to this year's Obama budget, citing Medicare cost shifts.

NAPLES — Tina Mellon has done her homework.
On a Thursday afternoon, she surveyed the boys' clothing pad in J.C. Penney at Coastland Center mall in Naples looking for a sweatshirt she saw in an advertisement.
It was priced lowest there, said Mellon, of Golden Gate Estates.
Earlier, Mellon had found a $2 polo-style shirt in Old Navy for her 6-year-old son, Oakley, who will be entering first grade at Sabal Palm Elementary in Golden Gate Estates this year.
"I'm trying to make better choices this year," Mellon said.
For Mellon, that means starting back-to-school shopping earlier than last year and doing a little more research.
"I compare prices and then I go back to where the price is better," Mellon said.
Retailers expect another recession-battered back-to-school shopping season with spending estimated to top $47.5 billion this year compared to $51.4 billion spent last year, according to a recent survey conducted by Worthington, Ohio, consumer research firm BIGresearch LLC for the National Retail Federation. The Federation is the world's largest retail trade association that represents an industry with more than 1.6 million U.S. retail establishments.
The survey, which questioned more than 8,000 shoppers nationwide, estimated that the average family will spend $548.72 this season, a 7 percent decrease from last year.
In Florida, another year without the 10-day, tax-free back-to-school shopping week typically granted by the Legislature is expected to further crimp spending.
That means an influx of savvy shoppers like Mellon with the mind-set of "anything on the sale rack is good," as Mellon put it.
Retailers are taking note.
"We know that savings is top of the mind for a lot of families this season," said Mark Crowley, corporate spokesman for office supply chain Staples Inc.
Staples is marking down about 250 items this year and offering dollar, even penny, specials, he said.
Retail titan Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is offering a $9 back-to-school bundle, with Crayola crayons and markers, glue sticks, and a two-pack of dry erase markers among other school basics. Competitor Target Corp. has weekly deals on dorm accessories, such as stylized twin comforters for $16.99.
Other stores are looking to more creative ways to get parents into the shopping spirit.
The Dillard's at Coastland mall hosted an American Idol-esque event last year to draw business. Kids dressed up in a favorite outfit from the store, posed for a picture and then shoppers voted for their favorite picture. The student that received the most votes got their outfit for free.
The store plans on doing similar events this August for shoppers, Dillard's Assistant Store Manager Nikki Payment said.
"Anything to bring them in and create excitement within the departments," Payment said.
Other stores are carrying over deals offered last year.
The J.C. Penney at Coastland will offer "tax-offset" pricing, as it did last year, from Aug. 7 to Aug. 15, J.C. Penney store manager Bob Ricketts said.
"People certainly got the message last year" when the store cut prices by 7 percent to mimic tax-free shopping and customers came out in droves, he said.
And parents aren't the only ones getting the savings message this year.
Some schools, such as Sabal Palm Elementary and Bonita Springs Middle School, have trimmed school supply lists in light of the tough economy.
Teachers like Kishia Thompson, a fifth-grade teacher at Sabal Palm, will supply more expensive items, like dry erase markers, this year.
Thompson said she normally spends $300 a year on her classroom, around $60 of that for extra school supplies.
"And I'm probably one of the minimal spenders," Thompson said.
This year she said she's scanning ads for deals and recycling materials from last year.
"If I have it, I have it," Thompson said. "If I don't I learn to work without it."
Debbie Taylor was also in J.C. Penney on Thursday afternoon looking for neutral shorts for her 13-year-old son, Mark, who will enter eighth grade at Pine Ridge Middle School in Naples this year.
Taylor said she too looked through last year's school clothes to see what still fit and now is hitting sales only for essentials.
As for school supplies, the Taylors "haven't tackled that yet," she said.
With all money-saving legwork Taylor said she's "just trying to do a little at a time."

Playoff outlook: Magic number remains at 3
* The A's beat the Seattle Mariners at home Friday night, closing within three games of the Rangers in the AL West. But of greater importance to them, they didn't allow anyone behind them to gain a game on the wild card. The Angels' victory keeps them two behind and the Tampa Bay Rays' loss to the Chicago White Sox drops them to three back.
* The AL Central continues to get interesting. The White Sox beat the Rays and the Detroit Tigers lost to the Minnesota Twins. That means Detroit is just one game up on the White Sox with five games to play. The winner of that division plays the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, which could still be a gaggle of teams, including the Rangers, Yankees or Orioles.
* The race for the top seed in the AL is on. The Yankees' victory in Toronto moves them one game behind Texas for the best record in the AL. Baltimore is two behind after their win. The No. 1 seed would play the wild-card winner and start Sunday, Oct. 7. Should the Rangers drop to the No. 2 seed, they would start on the road at either Detroit or Chicago on Saturday, Oct. 6.
* The games are staggered Saturday, which should make for some interesting scoreboard watching. The games of note besides Rangers-Angels: New York at Toronto (12:07 p.m.), Rays at White Sox (3:05 p.m.), Tigers at Twins (3:05 p.m.), Mariners at Athletics (3:05 p.m.) and Red Sox at Orioles (6:05 p.m.).

Test Dept: Redux is conceived as a club based EBM (Electronic Body Music) intense music & visual performance experience.
Titled 'UFoF:v2' the performance is a live re-mix and re-imagining by the two founder members of Test Dept - Paul Jamrozy and Graham Cunnington – the tracks performed are taken from Test Dept's own sound and visual archive from their classic agitprop 1986 album 'The Unacceptable Face of Freedom'* and earlier material.
Originally UFoF was an expression of the rage and frustration felt by a large section of society towards the brutal policies and consequences of the UK's Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher (1979>1990), which has now, once again, gained a powerful relevance to our current circumstances within the wider globalised economic and militaristic order in these recession hit times.
The performance reworks political themes for the new millennium and bringing up to date the methods and techniques that made Test Dept pioneers of a highly original and radical approach to music creation and found sound collage.
TD:R create a dense, powerful, vibrant soundtrack for our time, utilising sound and image samples from the extensive Test Dept back-catalogue; enhanced with new sounds, audio-visual documentation, and the duo's live vocals and percussion. Their channelling of the personal anger and frustration they still experience remains as potent and caustic as before.
Following the melt down of the West's banking infrastructure, and the revelation of the consequences of corporate greed and free-market 'shock therapy' tactics, it is an apt time to revisit the radicalism of Test Dept's dystopian vision of the future as laid out in the seminal album, The Unacceptable Face of Freedom.
* "The Unacceptable Face of Freedom", was the pejorative term used by Thatcher's Home Secretary Leon Britton during the 1984/5 miner's strike. The right of people to protect their jobs and futures was seen as a liberty too far by the right wing political establishment of the time.

Hey you! Read our RSS-feed!
Writing a few words on an empty piece of paper can be the most difficult thing. The choices of words, constructions, meanings are endless. It seems like an impossible act to write anything of meaning. And yet, when you read a text that just flows it seems so easy. The choices of words and how they are put together becomes like a magic formula that touches your soul.
In the daily Dagens Nyheter last spring (27/4 2013), literary critic Åsa Beckman did an open analysis of one of Swedish poet Birger Sjöberg's (1885–1929) poems: Varje ord skall andas (my translation: Every word shall breathe). The poem is a beautiful text on the meaning of each word and how they should breathe, live, be strong. "At attention, each phrase!", he writes.
Perhaps this is when words become so dangerous to some.
Two Persian poets are now in prison in Iran for what they write; Fateme Ekhtesari and Mehdi Moosavi. And they are not the only ones. "Poets are highly dangerous", says the Chair of the Swedish PEN Association, Ola Larsmo, recently in the daily Göteborgs-Posten.
In many of the world's dictatorships writers, poets, journalists are in prison. The situation for writers around the world has worsened, Ola Larsmo states.
Let the new year of 2014 be the year when they are all set free.
Poem by Birger Sjöberg:
Varje ord skall andas
Varje ord skall andas och sin bröstkorg häva,
varje sats skall kunna ränna kring och stå,
skyldra, gå på tå,
svimma, trängta, sväva.
Det är ej så lätt, att liv av prickar väva,
att i typers prassliga små buskar
låta friska kinder sticka fram.
En sats skall ju bli ett träd, som ruskar,
en en fisk, som spritter,
en ett fågelkvitter,
en en sorgehögtid allvarsam.
Nu giv akt, vart ord!
Dra ej med er slarviga soldater.
Samlas på mitt bord,
alla, friska, starka, levande kamrater.
And a try for a quick translation, without any claim of poetic qualities but just for the English speaking readers to get an idea of the content of the poem:
Every word shall breathe
Every word shall breathe and its chest heave/every sentence shall run around and stow/arms present, tip on toe/faint, yearn, leave/It is not so easy, to life in dots weave/to in types' rustly small bushes/let fresh cheeks stick out brave/Why a sentence shall be a tree, that swooshes/one a fish, that jitter/one a bird twitter/one a mourning sermon so grave/Now, stand at attention, each phrase!/Don't pull with you careless soldiers/At my table embrace/all, healthy, strong, living comrades.

Kulturchock packed the suitcases with Swedish cultural journals and travelled to Helsinki Book Fair that just took place.
On the airport they met the first (that we have seen) print-on-demand machine for buying periodicals and journals, Meganews. It's time to check what the deal is and how cultural journals can be part of this very modern way of buying journals.

Sarah Thelwall, a UK consultant on cultural entrepreneurship, took a deep dive into small arts organizations' difficulties to communicate the value they contribute to society – a value that is rarely counted in profit or money, but in other things.
It's a difficulty art organizations over the world can recognize.
Put any cultural organization next to statistic measurements, economic outcome, and evaluations with a quantative focus, and culture comes short. So how do you measure intrinsic value?
Many of us within culture are already initiated, we know the value but come short in describing it. It's like the Swedish artist Staffan Hjalmarsson once said about the lack of measurement methods for culture,: it's five squares of sorrow. It referred to a report by the Region Västra Götaland where the consultants had evaluated the work within the region's five focus areas. The other focus areas had facts and figures, but culture glowed all empty and became according to Hjalmarsson: Five squares of sorrow.
Riksutställningar, The Swedish Exhibition Agency, decided to pick up this dilemma of showing the value of culture and has put focus on this during 2013 in seminars and discussions.They have invited Sarah Thelwall to talk about her report and discuss with others in two larger events: Supermarket 2013 in February and now Samtidskonstdagarna in Göteborg on October 18–20.
She wrote the report on commission of Common Practice, an organization based in London and with the aim to focus on small art organizations' situation.
Riksutställningar translated, in cooperation with Nätverkstan, some of her work into Swedish in a book that just came from the printing presses. Everything to bring light and perspectives on the continuous discussion on describing the value of art for others than those already initiated.

Today the Scene for Literature opened, or the Literature House, as Madeleine Bergmark put it in her opening speech of the inauguration in Lagerhuset (Warehouse).
The road to a new literary scene in Göteborg has been bumpy and particularly around where it should be located. Should a new house be built or is it a better idea to let it rest among already existing initiatives? And if so, with which existing scene? Glances were sent to Norway, where an ambitious new House for Literature in Oslo was opened in 2007.
In 2011 Ingrid Elam, a well-known literature critic in Sweden, got the assignment from the Administration of Culture in the City of Göteborg to investigate the possibilities of establishing a House for Literature in Göteborg.
The reason was that the conditions for literature are changing in a rapid pace and establishing a scene for literature seemed like a proper cultural policy action (also on state level this was done in 2012, a public investigation called Läsandets kultur, Culture of Reading).
Ingrid Elam came to four different suggestions, where two of them was weighing pros and cons of building a new house or building on already existing initiatives with focus on the independent and small-scale literary scene.
Lagerhuset (Warehouse), an old warehouse in central Göteborg right by the canal, for many felt like the natural location for a scene for literature. The building is already part of a vivid small-scale and independent cultural and literary scene housing several cultural journals and small publishing houses; a larger membership-based production space for journals; the Poetry Festival; education; and in the ground floor the scene for young creators, Frilagret. It's a house that since 1999 host small cultural organizations with focus on cultural journals and literature.
It was also one of Ingrid Elam's four suggestions, although not the main proposal. The Cultural Committee decided to place the House for Literature in an already existing structure: Lagerhuset. The House is organizationally under the City Library, they got two trial years and 1 million SEK (approximately 116000 euro) per year. Then the idea is that the independent scene in Göteborg takes over.

On a three day seminar in Stockholm at Museum of Modern Art in 2007 to celebrate a hundred years since philosopher Hannah Arendt's birth, the book on Eichmann in Jerusalem and the banality of evil was not mentioned, journalist and critic Ingrid Elam noticed in her review of the seminar in daily Dagens Nyheter. It was not until someone in the audience asked the key speaker, philosopher Agnes Heller, that this work was discussed. It was all good reasons for this; the focus was on Arendt's other important work.
Yet, reading Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963) it's difficult not to stay with her theories and reflect on their importance. They not only say something about the times in Europe during the Nazi era, they describe an on-going civil dilemma between bureaucratization and people.
Two things are especially terrifying and still today relevant.
One is the systematic way the in which the bureaucracy was built around, first emigration of the Jewish people from Germany, later the "final solution" to send Jews to death centers. The language used to describe this wasn't a mass-murderer's, Hannah Arendt reflects, it was instead in terms such of "programs" organizationally put under "administration and economy". Hitler and his men managed to build a bureaucracy in which the language around the "final solution" was not immediately offensive or against people's normal conscience. Finally, it seemed like a necessity, like an objective question that needed a solution.
The other is how she described Eichmann. He was not a monstrous murderer; he was not even particularly evil. She de-demonized him and he stands out neither as a diabolic character or a fanatic. He is just a dull bureaucrat with no ideas and a complete lack of critical thinking. He follows orders and is trying to do his job the best he can, wanting to climb to more important jobs and positions within the structure.
Since Arendt wrote this book in 1960s, even since the seminar in 2007, the European society has changed.
The economic crisis have had devastating effects in many countries with high unemployment rates and raise of poverty as a result. Art and culture has seen substantial cuts, of which effects for society we haven't yet seen. Where will critical thinking be practiced?
Racist parties around Europe are filling seats in parliaments, some of them with roots in neo-Nazism. They changed their shaved heads to slick hairstyles and proper suits to better fit in to the political corridors. Their language is changing to not being immediately offensive and therefore suit a larger group of the population. Their main point on the agenda is limiting immigration, keeping a nation "traditional" concerning everything from habits, culture and people.
As Ingrid Elam writes in her article (DN 15/1 2007), If Arendt had lived today she would have written about how today's stateless people and refugees are handled by very ordinary people.
Hanna Arendt wrote the book "Eichmann in Jerusalem" in 1963 and it is a collection of a series of articles written when she was covering the trial on Nazi Adolf Eichmann for the journal The New Yorker in Jerusalem in 1961. The book is translated into Swedish and published by Daidalos in 1996.
Article by Ingrid Elam in Dagens Nyheter (DN) on 15 of January 2007 can be found here.
In this year's Göteborg International Film Festival (January 2013) they showed the film on Hannah Arendt by director Margarethe von Trotta.
American artist Andrea Geyer did an interesting piece on the trial with Hannah Arendt's book as main base, Criminal Case 40/61: Reverb, 2009, which was shown, among other places, at Göteborg Konsthall in 2010.

The 31st of December was a historic day. The very last printed issue of Newsweek was published and distributed. From now on the only way to read Newsweek is on the web.
Newsweek is an American weekly news magazine, published since 1933 in New York City and with US and international distribution. I
n October 2012 the editor Tina Brown announced that the weekly would end it's eighty years of printed publication to go only digital. It's an historic change and follows a period of changes within in printed press due to changing reading habits. Read more of the challenges and future of print here.
Nätverkstan managed to get the hands on a copy of the very last issue. And as the historic winds of change are blowing around us we continue our work to help small cultural journals and publicists to face the digital challenges and find solutions that are cost effective. This year the project Literature and digitization will take further steps in this direction with funding from Region Västra Götaland.

Ghanian writer Kojo Laing talks softly but with emphasis. Every word comes from the heart and touches the heart of the audience. It's the most generous and honest presentation I have heard in many years.
It's like a curse, he says about writing. He can't stop. He has tried to stop, but he just can't.
Coming from a Christian family in Ghana, his father was a priest, and with all his five siblings working within the church, he is the only one being a writer and also in pressing doubt in faith, something that is also topics in many of his books. He leans forward in his chair, looks over the audience, hitting his chest with his hand and asks, insisting on the honesty of this question: Am I a fool? Am I crazy having this doubt? Can anyone in the room say that they are anywhere near the doubt I have?
His writing is anything but a simple process, he tells us. One of the books took eight years to write. He wanted to write Ghanian and English, not for the sake of it, but because he wanted to squeeze out the English from the Ghanian languages. With his hands he shows us the guesture of thoroughly and hard squeezing water from wet laundry. And that took time. He picks up the book, shows it, and looks at it, exhausted. And goes quiet.
He answers each question posed by Kwani Trust Chairman Tom Maliti sometimes with a big smile of a question that he founds on the spot, then continues with a story and sometimes ends abruptly. The room gets quiet a short second before a new line of thought is unfolded.
Kojo Laing is like a ghost in his own country, he describes his situation. His books are mainly published outside of Ghana. But on the question if he would rather write something else, if he got the chance to re-do things, something less controversial that sold many, many copies of his books and made him more famous, his answer is distinct and clear. He couldn't write anything else. This is what he writes.
A young woman raises her hand and asks what he suggests a young writer should think about pursuing a career as a writer?
Be yourself, is his first answer. Read as much as your brain can contain. The more you read, the more complex you become. And it applies to experience as well. Paradoxical experience. Encourage many identities. It will be needed as the world goes smaller.
And he adds and laughs: And when you get advices you reject them.
Kwani? Litfest 2012 is a yearly literature festival run by Kwani Trust in Nairobi. This year the theme is Conversations with the Horn. Writers, artists in exchange.

In Copenhagen it is called "the book happening of the year". This is also why Kulturchock made the decision to participate at the event that during the years has expanded in favour for both dedicated readers and the book industry in Denmark.
For Kulturchock it is not only the purpose to improve the distribution and visibility for the Swedish cultural magazines within the country. It is also a beneficial opportunity to overbridge borders both internationally and linguistically to show the multifaceted goldmine that we possess. The 100 culture magazines that we represent impress many of the book fairs visitors, and the question is not why the swedish magazines are there, but why the danish aren´t? Ivan Rød, head of the organisation for danish cultural magazines, tells us that the granting for these magazines har been withdrawn and that they can not afford participating. Nevertheless, the danish literature magazine Standart was elected this year´s cultural magazine in the Nordic countries.
The showcase for cultural magazines at the book fair in Gothenburg this year was a collaboration between Kulturchock at Nätverkstan and Tidskriftscentralen in Finland. In addition to the Swedish and Finnish magazines you could also find Danish and Norwegian ones. Maybe this concept can evolve and be used at future events?
Thank you for this visit, BogForum, see you again in 2013?

Since 2009 large and small newspapers around the world have been facing difficulties with drop in profit, drop in sales with job cuts as a result.
The latest in the line of newspaper cuts is Newsweek announcing earlier this fall the end of printed publication, and only going digital. December 31 is the last printed issue being distributed changing an eighty year chain of printed publications. The Independent as another example of a troubled newspaper and in the US the newspaper scene has changed drastically with papers like The Seattle Post-intelligencer, The Detroit News, and The San Francisco Chronicle and more severely being reduced and some closed down.
The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter has seen a drastic cut among employees and the latest news is that the other large daily Svenska Dagbladet has to save around 40 million SEK leading to cutting off it's cultural pages and having around 50–60 employees are loosing their jobs.
Smaller newspapers are facing the same future. Nerikes Allehanda and Vestmanlands Läns Tidning, who both have the same owner, are cutting with 75 people during this year (read more here).
Times for newspapers and journals are dramatically changing. What is the future of printed press? Will heaps of printed books, journals, newspapers just be stored in piles collecting dust while the readers are elsewhere?
Cultural critic Olav Fumarola Unsgaard addresses this challenge and the future of print in an article at A-Desk Critical Thinking. He writes:
To understand the media landscape of today we must change our point of viewpoint. The world of printed media is today going through very rapid changes. To make it simple all these changes are in one way or another connected to digitalisation and the Internet. First of all we must understand that these changes have an impact on the entire sector of print. This means newspapers, journals, magazines, books and comics. It will affect the worldwide media conglomerates as well as the small fanzines. In the words of Joseph Schumpeter is there a massive creative destruction going on. Someone will lose and someone will gain.

Olav Fumarola Unsgaard is cultural journalist, book editor and project manager, also a former project manager for the long tail-project at Nätverkstan. Today mostly working with the Swedish publishing house Atlas and the journals Fronesis and Ord&Bild.

Try to describe dance and choreography in words or text and you are bound for a challenge. To catch the essence of bodily movement and the artistic process and thought behind a dance performance is difficult. What you see is what you get, so to speak. Dance is best felt and experienced when it happens, it's a direct contact between performer and audience. It's therefore often difficult to try to describe dance experiences in project plans and evaluation documents.
In the newly published book 100 Exercises for a Choreographer and Other Survivors, a way around this difficulty is somehow found. You not only get practical exercises to try on your own, but each of these exercises quite informally also catches the artistic thought and process in choreography. Reading them, each ending with the sincere request "Do it.", exposes the experiments of action that can be translated into movements and dance. Quite shrewd, actually.
Perhaps something for policy- and decisionmakers? Trying these small experiments might raise your awareness and understanding of the artistic process. And it's not complicated. Just do it.
Efva Lilja, choreographer, Professor of Choreography, and Vice-Chancellor at DOCH, the University of Dance and Circus in Stockholm, and author behind this, has just published two books with the aim to in a practical and poetic way offer strategies for active presence and bodily knowledge in your daily life.
The two books: "100 Exercises for a Choreographer and Other Survivors" (both in Swedish and English) and "Förstår du vad jag inte säger? Om dans som samhällsomstörtande kärleksförklaring" ("Do you understand what I am not saying? Dance as a subversive declaration of love" – in my translation) can be found here.

The main worry in everyday life of many Kenyans is the election this year. It brings back horrifying memories of the post election violence in 2007, something that is still unresolved.
Many put their hopes to the International Criminal Court in Hague, where four Kenyan leaders are put to trial with charges of crimes against humanity and for their active role in organizing the mass violence that took place.
"Something just must be done! They have to be charged. Everything else is inhuman and wrong" someone tells me.
In Breaburn Theatre in Nairobi poet Sitawa Namwalie addresses the consequences, fear, and worry in a very warm, partly humours, and self-critical way in her poetry-read and performance together with Alice Karunditu and Shan Bartley on Saturday evening.
"Can you trust your neighbour?" she asks, looks around the audience with her sharp eyes and authority. And she opens the read of Cut off my tongue.
The photographic exhibition Kenya Burning will be put up again at the GoDown Arts Centre as a reminder and reflection of what can not happen again.

The verdict fell heavily yesterday on the two Swedish journalists, Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye, in prison in Addis Adeba, Ethiopia.
They were charged and convicted by Lideta Federal High Court for being terrorists, the most severe of the charges they were accused for. It's no doubt that the conviction was political, and so the trial.
Johan Persson and Martin Schibbiye are not terrorists. They went to the Ogaden-province to document and inquire about the multinational oil companies work in the area and the consequences of this. It's a completely closed area, and word is that people live in the most severe circumstances and in complete absence of human rights as well as international law.
The verdict is a clear statement to journalists to keep out, and of course a large threat to freedom of speech and the journalists task as critical observers and reporters. We have seen many examples of this, just recently artist Ai Weiwei's as well as many other political writers and journalists imprisonment in China. On December 15 Nätverkstan arranged Imprisoned Day in Lagerhuset, an arrangement together with the PEN club, to put the light on imprisoned writers.
Read other posts on Ai Weiwei here, and Imprisoned Writers' Day here. Also related reflections from an article in New York Times in April this year by Salman Rushdie here. Read todays daily Göteborgs-Posten (in Swedish).

Yesterday, on November 15, Nätverkstan commemorated The Day of the Imprisoned Writer – this annual, international day intended to recognize and support writers who resist repression of the basic human right to freedom of expression and who stand up to attacks made against their right to impart information.
In Lagerhuset, Göteborg, the editor in chief for the magazine Filter, Mattias Göransson, explained the situation for the two imprisoned Swedish journalists Martin Schibbye and Johan Persson. After that we listened to a discussion between the Palestinian/Syrian poet Ghayath Almadhoun and the freelance journalist Mikael Löfgren on the topic literature and politics in Syria. The evening ended with a poetry reading of Almadhouns recently published poems translated into Swedish (Asylansökan, Ersatz förlag, 2010).
Ghayath Almadhoun, describes himself as he "doesn't exist". Being of Palestinian and Gaza heritage but born in Syria, which he later left, he doesn't have any certificate or paper acknowledging his national status. No papers and no passport. This of course is a dilemma from the Migration Office in Sweden, where he is applying for asylum, who wants to see his birthcertificate to be able to decide on his heritage and by that also if he is allowed to apply for asylum or not. "I am not learning Swedish until they accept me", he says with a smile. "I accept this country, and this country has to accept me."
