Midland takes their most popular line of GMRS radios to the next level with the GXT2000! The Midland GXT2000VP4 builds on the GXT1000 and adds some features of its own to bring you the best in GMRS. Designed for outdoor use, the GXT2000 has range, durability and longevity in mind to maximize performance when you need it most. Like its close cousin, the GXT-2000 supports 22 standard FRS/GMRS channels and 28 extra channels. Each standard channel supports 142 privacy codes to give you up to 3124 channel options to block unwanted conversations. Midland's Xtreme Range boasts up to 36 miles in optimal conditions (typically 2 miles or less in urban conditions). NOAA weather channels and weather alerts keep you informed of extreme conditions where every you go and Weather Scan locks you into your local weather channel to keep you tuned in to the latest severe weather warnings. HD dynamic audio provides sound that's loud and clear. The GXT2000VP4 also has Midland's Whisper Mode, which allows you to whisper into the microphone and still be heard. But there's more. The Midland GXT2000 uses an Extreme Lithium Polymer Batter Pack for maximum battery life and power, plus an ultra fast recharge to boot - typically charging within 2 hours! This radio is made for outdoor enthusiasts who need extended battery life with fast charge times. The GXT2000 also operates on 4 AA Alkaline batteries. The 2000 also features 10 call alerts, dual watch, an SOS siren, channel scan, silent operation, 9 Levels of hands-free eVOX, vibrate alert, multiple power settings, keypad lock and mic and headphone jacks. It also sports a large back-lit LCD display that is even larger than the GXT1000!

"Star Trek Into Darkness"
Director J.J. Abrams proved with 2009's "Star Trek" that it is OK to boldly go where others had gone before, as long as the journey is exciting, original, entertaining and respectful to legions of loyal fans. His film, which found the balance between reprising and reimagining, was a direct hit. In his second voyage on the Starship Enterprise, Abrams has perfected that approach.

Many of you asked for a round-up of 27" IPS-based displays, and here it is. Although these screens feature similar specifications, you might be surprised at how much they differ, both in performance and price. Which of the three is right for you?
Any enthusiast spending a significant amount of money on a high-end system should own a display of comparable quality. After all, what good does a pair of GeForce or Radeon cards do you if the most attractive graphics settings are obscured by a lackluster screen?
We really appreciate technologies like AMD's Eyefinity, which make it possible for you to buy a trio of smaller 22- or 23-inch monitors and work across multiple displays. We have several guys doing that in the Tom's Hardware office. But then there are the folks who simply prefer a single workspace and ultra-high resolutions. In those cases, a larger 27- or 30-inch display is the better choice.
We already covered smaller 22" and 23" TN-based LCDs in Three-Way 22" LED LCD Roundup: Dell, LG, And Samsung and Three-Way 23" LED LCD Roundup: Dell, HP, And Samsung. However, we also received a number of requests that we look at larger screens based on IPS panels.
There's a general perception that IPS-based displays offer superior performance to those based on TN technology, but that isn't always the case. Although in-plane switching does improve the viewing angle issues and color reproduction suffered by twisted nematic displays, not all IPS screens are created equal. Our results in this roundup demonstrate that, even between three different screens, you can end up with a vastly dissimilar experience.

-2terr281 , August 11, 2011 5:17 AMWhat monitors to review next?... As many people said in the review of the 22" TN panels from your last review, the next review should include "enthusiast available" ~23" panels. (Instead of just big box "Buy from Best Buy" models.)
The lowest price of the three 22" TN panel monitors you reviewed was $180. A quick Newegg search shows several similar panels from names such as Acer, Asus, etc. starting at $140. (And, in the gaming, as well as office environments, 2 or 3 monitors are now more common than one single large one.)
1nevertell , August 11, 2011 5:27 AMIPS vs VA in gaming.
Although just a regular sum up of the available 22-24 VA panels would be great. -
2Anonymous , August 11, 2011 5:49 AMThank you for the excellent and thorough review. Perhaps next time, the new Apple 27" Thunderbolt display can be thrown into the mix. For a lot of video and photography pros like myself, the Apple display is considered to be the "standard" and I would love to see how it stacks up again the competition. Also maybe throw in a professional level Eizo display as well to show the difference between a ~$1000 display and a $3000 display.
4Anonymous , August 11, 2011 5:57 AMThe new Apple Thunderbolt 27" display - would be nice to see if it's worth the money
8Anonymous , August 11, 2011 6:03 AM120hz monitors lead the way
You should review a 2560x1600 120hz IPS monitor.
Oh wait...
2560x1600 isn't supported at 120hz over DVI-D (dual link)
IPS monitors can't do 120hz with today's technology
5agnickolov , August 11, 2011 6:16 AMI'd recommend the same IPS review applied on affordable 24-26" monitors that most of us would actually potentially buy. It's nice to dream about 27"+ 2560x1440, but let's get back to reality with 24" 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 (if still available) IPS monitors please. (At least until higher resolutions enter mainstream price points.)
0crisan_tiberiu , August 11, 2011 7:04 AMI have a 22" Philips LED Backlight monitor and i am very happy with it . I dont see any Philips monitors in any of your reviews, why is that?
0boletus , August 11, 2011 7:25 AMNice roundup, it had me measuring what a 26" wide monitor would look like on my desk. However, you need to fix the title block in the table for the NEC monitor on the "Black And White Uniformity" page (it says Samsung S22A350H).
0soccerdocks , August 11, 2011 7:38 AMOn the "Black And White Uniformity, Viewing Angles" page the 3rd table states that it is for the Samsung S22A350H when it is actually for the NEC.
1Anonymous , August 11, 2011 8:29 AMThank you for this comparison, very interesting reading!
I am somewhat disappointed that 27" monitors nowadays don't use 2560*1600 panels.
That resolution makes much more sense to me for a monitor that is not targetted at the average consumer.
Personally I would love a 2560*1920 (or 2048) screen @ 120Hz, but if I understand correctly link speed becomes an issue here.
Why is it that displays for mobile phones are increasing in pixel density, but desktop displays don't improve in this regard?
For a next review I would really like to get a better understanding of (high-resolution) 120Hz monitors. What are the (dis)advantages of 120Hz for regular/2D usage, etc...
0Jax69 , August 11, 2011 8:59 AMwait for Samsung's PLS and other iterations of the panel from different brands.
-3pirateboy , August 11, 2011 9:47 AMplease review Asus PA246Q and any other 24 inch 16:10 screens you can get your hands on...please don't review anymore 16:9 screens

1Soul_keeper , August 11, 2011 1:44 PM"But then there are the folks who simply prefer a single workspace and ultra-high resolutions."
^^ me -
1lbwmoo , August 11, 2011 2:33 PMI too would like a better explanation on the issue of pixel density. In 2002 you could order a laptop from dell with a 15" UXGA screen with 1600x1200 resolution. It was a gorgeous screen then, and doesn't look bad now. Standalone desktop monitors, however, with that resolution start at 20" minimum. You can get 1920x1080 at screen sizes starting around 21.5" and ranging to 27" that I've seen in stores. Are there benefits to packing the same resolution into the smaller package, such as smaller pixels leading to crisper image? Is there a "sweet spot" to this resolution that balances pixel size and density vs overall space?
It seems that 1920x1080 is the new norm, which is annoying because I don't see why I should have to give up vertical resolution just to fit the standard of the current high definition videos. 16x9 vs. 16x10 is a debate right now for me. I would rather have 16x10 because more screen real estate is better, but it seems that the 16x10 front has stagnated. All the new goodies are going into 16x9, with the exception of the 30" 2560x1600 models. -

here is an excellent screen review site
-1ram1009 , August 11, 2011 3:38 PMThese hi res monitors are just another case of diminishing returns. You spend several times the dollars as you would on equivilent standard res monitors for a fractional improvement in performance. These are definitely not main stream items. The last time I looked Newegg only offered one monitor in this res range.
1tmax , August 11, 2011 4:26 PMNice monitors but way too much money.
0compton , August 11, 2011 5:35 PMThanks for your excellent review, Andrew. I'd like to see a 24" roundup of IPS/e-IPS. Dell has their new 2412 16:10 24" e-IPS paneled Ultrasharp out, but it's not high gamut like the 2410 and especially the 2408 (which is S-PVA, fantastic, and not for everyone). e-IPS is marching on to higher adoption, and it would be great to see how these e-IPS displays stack up.

How To Google Someone (& Not Be A Stalker)
Here's some good advice for googling people you like, including indie rock stars!
We're all weirdos. But don't be a dick.
"Let's say you just met (or are about to meet) a guy with potential — and you're not (yet) linked on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. So far, it's all been analog and vis–à–vis. You're fascinated, freaked out, and just a bit tempted to cybersleuth. But, are you really afraid he's a former convict or are you just trying to parse together his dating history? Chances are, it's the latter. Realize that this says more about you than it does him (and also, you could just let him tell you in due time…or even ask)."
"Fascinated". You bought that? Lol.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Haha, no, don't worry: I didn't. This article is recommended very broadly, since R29 isn't exactly a feminist periodical and one has to take what kernels of advice they can find in the heap o'shit.

heh, not quite. But kids change a lot between 13 and 20.
We watched Rear Window last night on Amazon Prime. She offered a pretty insightful critique that ruined the film for me. I should have raised her to be less of a critical thinker (parenting self-complement for the win!)
Very well.
Thanks, although I am not completely sure for what.
Listen to this: alt-j - Something Good
If you like Rear Window, have you watched Hitchcock's Rope? He worked with Jimmy Stewart a few more times. They just restored Vertigo not to long ago. And I always kick myself when Doris Day and Jimmy let there kid walk around that Marrakesh market with a strange couple they just met.
"It is wrong to assume that art needs the spectator in order to be. The film runs on without any eyes. The spectator cannot exist without it. It ensures his existence." -- James Douglas Morrison
Yes, without even Christopher Lambert to liven things up it was an utter failure.
I'd say yes, but I have no way to anneal it. Never fear - I'll come up with something.
Scarecrow is legally retarded, uneducated, and medically speaking, is the floor of a Hee Haw set dressed up like a hobo. ~seanbaby
You don't need to anneal the copper, the bronze is dead soft too, but even dead soft it is a SOB to work with. Both are meant for coldwork.
But if you want to anneal, a disposable MAPP plumbing torch from a hardware store works fine - just do it someplace non flammable. Outdoors preferably.
Your mind, 'cuz it's so dirty?
Me too.
Also, it won me five bucks in a bet one time. I worked with a guy who was sure the two different parts of the song were two different songs. I eventually bet him five bucks that he was wrong.
He walked in the next day, didn't say a word, just smiled and handed me five bucks.
If you can't go to the trouble of examining your own beliefs before sharing them, then don't whine like a bitch when you're called out on them. - ChadH

dead battery?
I have not been driving the truck as much as I used to, various reasons. Went out to take off on Saturdaythe 7th, and it would not start. Had enough juice to operate the remote locks and every thing else. Just got that click click click. Figured it was from not being driven enough. Hooked up the charger and it charged up in 30 minutes or so. It is a sealed high performance one, got tired of the old one leaking all over everything and corroding stuff. Drove it for few miles over to friends house for bbq, then home no problem. Went out this morning Tuesday the 10th and the same damn thing. So I have a question....is there a short in the system or regulator allowing it to drain while it sets there. The guage shows it charging while running fine. And I have let it set longer than that before without this problem.

New Nintendo 3DS Game Puts Mario in a Sticky Situation
The newest installment of the Paper Mario franchise flattens the mustached hero into a two dimensional, paper-thin character and nothing could be more fun. Paper Mario: Sticker Star for the portable Nintendo 3DS introduces a new way for players to solve puzzles and execute attacks using stickers, which are found throughout the game. The colorful game world looks like a shoebox diorama, and takes on a sense of depth in full 3D, without the need for special glasses.
"The Paper Mario series is known for its inventive battles and quirky humor," said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. "The 3D graphics and the introduction of stickers add a fresh new element that will have players glued to their games."
As players explore the vast world, they will encounter hundreds of stickers, some in plain sight and some that require a little extra effort to discover. By using "paperization" to flatten the game world, Mario can solve puzzles, which can range from moving a windmill blade that blocks his path or getting to hard to reach places. When stickers are placed in correct spots, the world transforms or secret areas can be accessed. Stickers come in all shapes and sizes and each will have a unique effect when used in puzzle solving or attacking enemies. There are even flashy and shiny stickers that are more powerful and hard to find.
Stickers are also the key to the game's turn-based battles. Players choose their sticker attacks and unleash them on their enemies. Attacks can be as simple as bouncing on Goombas with a jump sticker to fighting a boss with a more powerful flashy or shiny sticker. They can also spend coins to use the Battle Spinner, a slot machine-style game that rewards players with the option to use up to three stickers in one turn. Players can become more powerful by beating bosses and completing side missions.
Shoppers can purchase the packaged game as usual at retail locations nationwide, or consumers with wireless broadband Internet access can simply purchase and download the game from the Nintendo eShop. Download codes for the game can also be purchased at select retailers. Regardless of the purchasing method, the suggested retail price is $39.99 in the United States. Also, Club Nintendo members who download and register this game before Jan. 6, 2013, will receive a free download code for the Donkey Kong: Original Edition game. Donkey Kong: Original Edition has never been seen in the U.S. and is not available for purchase.

1988 Lamborghini Countach Anniversario 25th Coupé
Registration no. F467 PYE
Chassis no. KLA12462
Engine no. KLA12462
The legendary Miura was always going to be a hard act to follow, so the extent to which its successor eclipsed the greatest of 1960s supercars came as something of a shock to all. The sensation of the 1971 Geneva Salon, the Countach was styled, like its predecessor, by Bertones Marcello Gandini. Lamborghinis four-cam V12 was retained, though this time installed longitudinally. To achieve optimum weight distribution, designer Paolo Stanzani placed the five-speed gearbox ahead of the engine between the seats, and the differential - driven by a shaft passing through the sump - at the rear. The result was a delightful gearchange and a better-balanced car than the Miura. When production began in 1974, the Countach sported an improved chassis and the standard 4-litre - instead of the prototypes 5-litre - engine. Even with the smaller engine producing only 375bhp, the aerodynamically efficient Countach could attain 170mph and, as one would expect, came with racetrack roadholding to match. The cars potentially largest market - the USA - remained closed to it until the arrival of the emissions friendly LP500S in 1982. Although no more powerful than before, the newcomers 4,754cc engine brought with it a useful increase in torque. The final development saw the engine enlarged to 5,167cc and new four-valves-per-cylinder heads adopted for the Countach Quattrovalvole in 1985, the latters 300km/h (186mph) top speed making it at the time - the worlds fastest car.
The Countachs ultimate development, considered by many to be the most desirable, arrived in September 1988. Launched at the Italian Grand Prix, Monza, this was the Anniversario, introduced to celebrate Lamborghinis 25th anniversary as a motor manufacturer. Restyled and updated, the Anniversario incorporated hundreds of subtle changes and improvements over the Quattrovalvole. The body was reworked by designer Horacio Pagani, creator of the Pagani Zonda, gaining a new nose and front bumper/spoiler incorporating front brake air ducts. US-destined cars retained the ugly 5mph impact-resistant bumper, while the new rear bumper was common to both US and European models. The most striking difference in the Anniversarios appearance was in the treatment of the radiator air intakes directly behind the doors, which featured thicker vertical strakes, colour-matched to the body. Beneath the skin the chassis had been extensively updated for improved handling, its development assisted by none other than three-time World Rally Champion, Sandro Munari. Split-rim forged alloy OZ wheels were adopted for the Anniversario, shod with Pirellis new P Zero dual-compound asymmetrical-tread tyres. Available with carburettors in Europe or fuel injection in the USA, the V12 engine was virtually unchanged from the Quattrovalvole. In total, 657 Countach Anniversario models were made between September 1988 and April 1990, one of the many high-profile owners being ex-Formula 1 World Champion Mario Andretti.
First owned by well-known Lamborghini aficionado Barry Robinson, during whose ownership it was registered BR 33, right-hand drive chassis number 12462 is the actual car featured in the eight-page centre-section dealing with the Anniversario model in Peter Drons book, Lamborghini Countach The Complete Story. It has also featured in numerous other journals and publications. The previous owner kept the car from August 1997 until it was acquired by the vendor in 2004, since when it has been kept in heated storage. 12462 comes with service book stamped in 1988 (twice), February 1989 and January 2004 (at 10,732 kilometres) when £3,500 was spent at Modena Cars (Lamborghini Wycombe). While in the current ownership the car has been fitted with a genuine, ex-factory Countach rear wing (an option when new) and an Alpine satellite navigation system. The engine has been serviced by recognised specialists Carrera Tune (2,000 kilometres ago, immediately prior to a trip to Le Mans in 2005) and the air conditioning re-gassed at around the same time.
The Anniversario is widely regarded as the best road-going Countach in terms of handling and reliability, and we can vouch for the fact that this example is a most impressive performer, while its condition appears to indicate careful use and storage. Currently showing circa 15,800 kilometres on the odometer, 12462 comes with a substantial leather-bound history file, original wallet and service book, spare parts list, service invoices and expired MoT certificates from 1996 to date. It is offered with current road fund licence, Swansea V5 registration document and fresh MoT.

A series of terrific collaborations highlight this May 6, 2013 edition of New Music Monday — beginning with Brian May's out-there turn with those pioneering space-music gurus in Tangerine Dream.
Patty Griffin has emerged with a new studio effort that includes several tunes alongside Robert Plant.
And, in what may be our favorite of them all, Robben Ford sets a new Michael McDonald EP aflame.
Elsewhere, Rod Stewart has returned to rock and pop music, after a long detour into songbook asides.
Harp icon James Cotton joins with a gaggle of famous friends — including several notables from the Allman Brothers Band — on his tremendous new album, too.
In other blues news, the legendary Little Walter is remembered by folks like Billy Boy Arnold, Sugar Ray Norcia and Charlie Musselwhite.
We've got a live set from Jimmy Vivino, the Conan O'Brien bandleader who's previously worked with Al Kooper and the Band's Levon Helm; some Jack White coolness from the Gatsby soundtrack; and a fun album from those goofy bluegrass hipsters the Austin Lounge Lizards.
Elsewhere, check out hip jazz from Emily Bear and Daniel Bennett, reissues from the Little River Band and Styx, and some cathartic heaviness from Vicious Rumors and Dug Pinnick …
AUSTIN LOUNGE LIZARDS – HOME AND DERANGED (POP/ROCK): As intoxicatingly strange as they are deliriously talented, the Austin Lounge Lizards may have dropped an original member since their last studio effort, but they've lost none of the string-a-ding sense of madcap musical mayhem that always makes them such a delight. Home and Deranged also makes a case for the new guys, both of whom make terrific contributions. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Billy Lester – Storytime (Jazz)
Carey Appel – House of Cards (Pop/Rock)
Climax Blues Band – Tightly Knit (Pop/Rock)
David Armey – 8 (Jazz)
DANIEL BENNETT GROUP – CLOCKHEAD GOES TO CAMP (JAZZ): Using bright harmonies and agile arrangements, Clockhead is deceptively easy sounding, bolstered by the usage of folk style strains. It's even music you can clap along to, and handclaps are indeed used on the first couple of tracks, "Muskrat" and "Elephant," the latter involving a real tricky time signature. Using a tone and articulation similar to Spyro Gyra's Jay Beckenstein, Bennett suggests what that band's music might have sounded like in an organic setting. (More here.) — S. Victor Aaron
Deftones – The Document (Pop/Rock)
Dennis DeYoung – Desert Moon; Back to the World (Pop/Rock)
DUG PINNICK – NAKED (ROCK/METAL): I've always been a huge fan of King's X, but somehow Dug Pinnick's solo work has never connected with me in the same way. The same can be said for Naked. There's not really anything I dislike on it, but I find myself wishing I had a new King's X record instead. — Fred Phillips
EMILY BEAR – DIVERSITY (JAZZ): Emily Bear plays her piano with a finely nuanced touch, with both her comping left hand and a right hand that can cascade notes like sand pouring out of your hands. The song, her own, is a circular figure to which she discreetly adds graceful touches, such as lifting it up to a higher key and then bringing back down down again. Sounds pretty good, huh? What if I were to tell you that Emily is only 11 years old? (More here.) — S. Victor Aaron
Gap Band – Gap Band VII (R&B)
George Clinton – Computer Games (R&B)
Gilbert O'Sullivan – In the Key of G; Sounds of the Loop (Pop/Rock)
JAMES COTTON – COTTON MOUTH MAN (BLUES): Cotton, the Chicago harp legend, is joined here by a bevy of big names — among them Gregg Allman, Ruthie Foster, Joe Bonamassa and Delbert McClinton. Still, don't get the idea that Cotton is relegated to a sideman role on his own album. Cotton Mouth Man remains firmly within Cotton's grasp, as he unleashes run after blast-furnace run on the harmonica, even while weaving his own story through the album's raft of original material. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Jerry Lee Lewis – Return of Rock; Soul My Way (Pop/Rock)
Joe Satriani – Unstoppable Momentum (Rock/Metal)
JIMMY VIVINO AND THE BLACK ITALIANS – 13 LIVE (BLUES): Some magic was bound to surround this, as Jimmy Vivino reunited with long-time former collaborators for the first time in years. But doing so in Levon Helm's old-barn studio, where Vivino had made so many memories, only heightened the date's sense of emotional reminiscence. The results play out like the very best of reunions — with no small amount of joy, but also some memorable twinges of sadness. 13 Live, in fact, picks up like a conversation once interrupted amongst old friends — right where it left off. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Johnny Copeland – It's Me: Classic Texas Soul 1965-72 (Blues)
Joshua Redman – Walking Shadows (Jazz)
Lady Antebellum – Golden (Country)
Lindsey Horner and Andy Goessling – Heyday Maker (Jazz)
LITTLE RIVER BAND – AFTER HOURS; DIAMANTINA COCKTAIL; SLEEPCATCHER; FIRST UNDER THE WIRE (POP/ROCK): Some rock acts start out edgy, later mellowing out to adult contemporary … sometimes blissfully, sometimes not. Little River Band was playing the adult contemporary format from the word "go," and in its classic configuration of original band leaders Glenn Shorrock, Beeb Birtles and Graeham Goble, they provided some of the best the genre had to offer in the late 1970s. That's not to say they couldn't rock out once in a while, which they did on the track that immediately followed their signature hit "Reminiscing" on Sleeper Catcher: "Red-Headed Wild Flower." It always comes back to those harmonies, though, skating over the loud guitars. (More here.) — S. Victor Aaron
Lynyrd Skynyrd – Lynyrd Skynyrd (Pop/Rock)
MICHAEL McDONALD WITH ROBBEN FORD – UNFINISHED BUSINESS EP (R&B): The lead single, called "Judgement Day," offers a stirring glimpse into this sizzling new collaborative triumph: It has a ballsy gumption that McDonald's smoothed-out pop hits like "Real Love" — not to mention his more recent plasticine Motown remakes — could scarcely aspire to. I'd argue that this is the setting he should have been working in all along, being as he fits so perfectly into the down-home, shotgun-shack rattling vibes that Ford is laying down here. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Miki Purnell – Swingin' to the Sea (Vocals)
Mr. Averell – Gridlock (Pop/Rock)
Natalie Maines – Mother (Country)
98 Degrees – 2.0 (Pop/Rock)
PATTY GRIFFIN – AMERICAN KID (POP/ROCK): This album got a considerable amount of pre-release buzz with the news that it would include three tracks with Robert Plant, two of which were previewed last December during a joint performance at an Austin benefit. Her crack band includes the Dickinson siblings, Cody and Luther, of the North Mississippi All Stars — who opened for the Band of Joy on its most recent tour. Together, they create a lonesome intrigue, closer to a real blues than anything Plant once aped early on with Led Zeppelin, but at the same time go deeper into the holler — like a canny update of the celebrated Raising Sand. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Ravi Shankar – Living Room Sessions Part 2 (Folk)
Richard Lanhal – Thou Swell (Vocals)
ROD STEWART – TIME (POP/ROCK): Stewart's first original studio release in two decades is aptly titled: Sparked in part by Stewart's work on a memoir, it's the sound of someone looking determinedly backward. That leads to a comfy sense of nostalgia, as Stewart touches all of the bases on a victory lap through a varied career that started with his tenure in the rough-and-tumble Faces before taking a series of detours as a solo artist — from stripped-down balladeer to synthesized disco maven to songbook slickster. It's all here, for good or for ill. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Shalamar – Friends (R&B)
Small Faces – There Are But Four Small Faces (Pop/Rock)
Stray Cats – The Toronto Strut (Pop/Rock)
STYX – THE GRAND ILLUSION AND PIECES OF EIGHT LIVE (POP/ROCK): A deluxe souvenir from the first time Styx ever performed these two seminal 1970s albums in their entirety on stage, recorded in 2010 at Memphis. 1977′s Grand Illusion became the band's first triple platinum album on the strength of the Top 10 hit "Come Sail Away" and "Fooling Yourself," which went Top 30. The follow up, 1978′s Pieces of Eight, likewise went triple platinum as Styx returned to its prog-rock roots. That album included two Tommy Shaw-sung radio favorites, "Blue Collar Man (Long Nights)" and "Renegade." (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
TANGERINE DREAM AND BRIAN MAY – STARMUS: SONIC UNIVERSE (POP/ROCK): Sure, May has a well-known interest in the cosmos and its exploration, having earned a doctorate degree in astrophysics. But, for all of the many styles that May has excelled at over the years, for all of the times he's played completely in service of the song — showing such great flamboyance, then such sharp-edged restraint — I still didn't know what to expect once that famously bushy mane was dropped in amidst this kind of long-form, open-ended improvisational music. We will, we will … space you? Actually, he did space me. Big time. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
The Blow Monkeys – Feels Like A New Morning (Pop/Rock)
Tommy James and the Shondells – Hanky Panky; It's Only Love; I Think Were Alone Now (Pop/Rock)
Various artists – History Of New Orleans Rhythm And Blues Vol 3 1953-55 (R&B)
VARIOUS ARTISTS – REMEMBERING LITTLE WALTER [Billy Boy Arnold, Charlie Musselwhite, Mark Hummel, Sugar Boy Norcia, others] (BLUES): he standard-bearing harp influence of Walter Jacobs — he established the vocabulary still used by nearly every amplified modern player — is well documented. This guest-packed concert tribute reminds you of his composing prowess, too. After all, Little Walter would write some 14 Top 10 R&B solo hits in the 1950s, well after his muscular, jazz-influenced style changed the direction of Muddy Waters' music forever. That legacy lives on in the blues, and on Remembering Little Walter, through the work of Charlie Musselwhite and Billy Boy Arnold, two modern-day successors who knew Jacobs personally. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
VARIOUS ARTISTS – THE GREAT GATSBY (SOUNDTRACK): Head straight over to Jack White's scorching update of the U2 deep cut "Love is Blindness" on this new star-packed set. With a watery organ, a decayed backbeat, and a simply devastated vocal, White sets about simply dismantling the closing track from 1991′s Achtung Baby, until ultimately he's descended into a howling mess — complete with a jagged, almost violent turn on the guitar. If Bono approached the lyric with a detached sense of heartbreak, White pulls the song's hurt up close, then unleashes every bit of his rage, nose to nose. (More here.) — Nick DeRiso
Various artists – Varese Sarabande: 35th Anniversary Celebration (Pop/Rock)
VICIOUS RUMORS – ELECTRIC PUNISHMENT (ROCK/METAL): Vicious Rumors' comeback album, Razorback Killers in 2011, was fantastic. I can't wait to hear this one. — Fred Phillips

I confess...While I was at work today (CVS) I dreamed of kicking the next person in the face.

I was like seriously that is the best I could come up with? And to make it that much better 92% of the customers that come in there take their money out of their wallet and flail around these hundreds and fiftys.

The 6 Best Dublin Pubs
It's impossible to think of Dublin without also thinking of its 1,000 or so "public houses." These are what give Dublin so much of its character, and they're largely to blame for the fierce loyalty Dublin inspires among locals and visitors. It was hard research, but here are our favorite 6 pubs in Dublin.
As a general rule, the area between Grafton and Great George's streets is a gold mine for classy pubs. Another good bet is the Temple Bar district (though some of the newer ones are all plastic and mirrors). And if it's real spit-on-the-floor hideaways you're after, head across the Liffey to the areas around Parnell Square or Smithfield. But beware the tourist-trap faux traditional pubs where you can hardly hear the music for the roar of the seven flat-screen TVs blaring out soccer games

Charles Ruggles
Feb. 8, 1886
in Los Angeles, CA
Dec. 23, 1970
of cancer in St. John's Hospital, CA
Charles Ruggles sputtered his way through hundreds of character roles as a mild-mannered, kindly, bumbling milquetoast. "It was my mastery of the sputter system of dialogue which was my chief asset as an actor," he told an interviewer toward the end of a 60-year career in radio, television, vaudeville and the stage. In his later roles he was usually cast as a kindly oldster with twinkling eyes who, when frustrated, erupted into exasperated sputters. He started one of the longest careers in show business playing newsboys and ended up playing grandfathers.

Rams golfer Matthew Williams will be staying close to home for his college experience.
Williams announced Monday that he will attend Rend Lake College.
"It was so close, and I could live at home," Williams said. "I've played those courses where they've practiced and do all their workouts. It just seemed like a logical place to go."
The Mt. Vernon senior advanced to the state final this season and finished tied for 17th with a 78 and six shots behind the leader. He had 10 pars over the 18-hole round.
"I didn't play very well toward the ends of the back nines, both the front and the back on the last three holes I really struggled," Williams said.
Williams joins Trevor Flota as the second player off last season's team to commit to a college.
"They were both kids that progressed a great deal from their freshman year to their senior year," Mt. Vernon golf coach Quinn McClure said. "Both ended up at the state golf tournament. Both tied for 17th.
"From their freshman year until now, the strides that those two made were great."
Williams didn't start seriously playing the sport until his freshman year of high school.
"I needed something to do besides baseball in the spring so I just decided to pick it up and really I just liked it," Williams said. "I love golf."
He added that he wants to improve his short game and putting.

Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
I've been teaching guitar professionally since I've been 17 and I've taught a wide range of musicals styles from Jazz, Blues, Fusion, to Rock you name it. My first experience with the instrument was 8 years ago and since then I haven't put it down. Early on in my teaching career I found that it's important for students to have the drive to learn, but it's more important to have someone that can guide them in the right direction. I believe the role of a teacher is not only to instill that drive, but to fuel the fire of their imaginations through fun and effective exercises. I've had the pleasure of teaching students ranging from 5 to 60 years of age and have found that the fundamentals of playing are applied across the map.
I'm currently attending Columbia College of Chicago and I'll be receiving my bachelors in instrumental performance mid May. I've studied under some great players such as Frank Dawson, Harry Hmura, Chris Forte and currently studying under Peter Lerner.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
I have played the guitar for twenty years and have studied a wide variety of music including jazz, classical, folk, blues and rock. I'm skilled in acoustic, electric and classical styles of the guitar. I have an open mind about music and can appreciate any style or type. I have a firm background on music theory, so I am able to explain what I am teaching. I excelled in all my classes in college, music and Gen Eds, with a GPA over 3.75. I also have experience in teaching guitar or bass to students ranging from the ages of six to sixty six. I enjoy taking what I have learned and passing it on to someone else to experience. I believe this is one way you can leave your mark in music. I believe the experience I have playing in bands, and learning songs with my ability of having relative pitch will make my students improve quicker. I am also a very skilled sight reader and can recognize key signatures and musical notation. I've also been playing electric bass guitar for 13 years now and have the same skill set as my guitar playing. In fact I am hired to perform more often as a bassist than a guitarist.
I went to Columbia College between 2000-2003 and I completed a Bachelor Arts in Music, Concentration: Instrument Performance.
I also went to Harper College between 1997-2000 and I completed an Associates in Fine Arts of Music.
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting
Having started my performance career playing drums and guitar for Bay Area organization, Bandworks, I made a permanent switch to bass in my early teenage years. I studied drama at Interlochen Center For the Arts and was in Piedmont High School's advanced theater program before pursuing music full-time. I've lived in Chicago for the better part of six years now, originally having moved out here to attend Columbia College's music program. During my academic career , I was affiliated with a slew of collegiate jazz ensembles and had the opportunity to study under musicians the likes of Christian McBride, Kevin Eubanks, Joan Osborne, Charlie Sexton, Peter Erskine, Fernando Jones, Chuck Webb, New York Voices, and many more. I also got to play the Chicago Blues Festival twice and open for BB King in Mississippi. I received my BA in Instrumental Performance last year. Since graduation, I've gotten to play the CMJ festival in New York City and tour cities like Nashville and San Francisco. Currently, my affiliated musical projects include hip-hop trio Treehouse and indie rock band Lee.
Essentially, music is my life. It's what I do. I couldn't be more thrilled to pass on this skill set and help create more musicians. Each lesson is a learning experience for both teacher and student. I think it's important to recognize the mutual benefit.
I'm a friendly, patient, and empathetic person and I don't intend on making you learn things that you don't want to learn. However, I like to push my students slightly out of their comfort zone. That's how we make progress!
Bass Guitar, Guitar, Classical Guitar, Music Performance, Music Theory, Songwriting, Banjo
Fred is a working professional musician that plays around 120 dates a year all over IL and WI with Bella Cain. In the band, Fred sings as a bass voice and plays electric & acoustic guitar/banjo. On some gigs he jumps on bass and even drums. As THE country band in the midwest, Bella Cain has recently performed along side such Nat'l acts as Brad Paisley, Bucky Covington, Lee Brice, Justin Moore, Dierks Bentley, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan.
Besides Bella Cain, Fred also performs with his new acoustic duo, Voodoo Country, with Paul Hala. The group is a crowd pleasing, request taking, laid back show that covers pop, rock, and country hits.
Fred occasionally uses that jazz performance degree and plays straight ahead jazz gigs and jazz fusion gigs with some of the best musicians in Chicago. See the videos below for some inspired performances!

Originally from Indiana, David has been teaching music in both the private and public school sectors for 12 years. Getting his start as a drumline instructor with only 4 students, David soon expanded his teaching to include both guitar and piano, which he studied under Frank Puzzulo (of Miles Davis' group) at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
Upon graduating Ball State, David moved to Colorado to study jazz and classical music with Dr. Douglas Walter, an accomplished percussionist who is known for his versatility and multiple percussion talents. He also studied piano and guitar in his off time, jamming with several rock and jazz groups both in and out of school.
In 2006, David left the college scene with a Masters in Music and moved to Florida where he began his teaching career. In Florida, David taught roughly 70 students, ages 5 to 18, at Wewahitchka High School and Middle School. He was beloved by the town, helping out in the community as a local organist for the Presbyterian Church and as a frequent contributor to Wednesday night worship.
As wonderful as this time was, David gave up the gators and swamps to move back home to Indiana in 2007. Here, he took a job at Kokomo High School and Maple Crest Middle school where he resumed teaching students from 5th graders to seniors in all areas of music, including wind, strings/guitar and percussion. David established the first ever "rock and roll" class at the high school in 2008, a program that started with only 5 students and has ballooned to 38 in this current year! The class consisted of guitars, keyboards, bass and drums, all of which David can teach at a professional level.
Most recently, David graduated with his second Masters in Jazz Performance from DePaul University. He studied primarily with professor Ron Perillo, unquestionably the most innovative piano player in Chicago and with Bob Palmieri, a gifted guitarist. Having now graduated, David is devoting himself full time to teaching private students and looks very much forward to working with you!

Daniel, a former faculty member of Columbia College in Chicago, is a studio and live performance singer and musician based in Chicago. His teaching and performing experience spans three decades, and includes expertise in the studies of voice, guitar, piano, bass, drums, and trumpet, along with music theory, arranging, and composing. He is a Lincoln Academy Student Laureate who holds a BA in Music Composition, and has attended graduate courses in education at Roosevelt University and DePaul University in Chicago. He has taught students of all ages at private studios, public school, and college.
Daniel is described by his students as a natural teacher. He prefers to be regarded as an advancing student, and takes the journey along with his students to guide them towards their goals with a friendly, positive, efficient and productive approach. He feels that music is within all of us, and a desire to learn is a sign of talent, so anyone can develop their musical abilities with methodical practice.
The musical journey for Daniel began at an early age with trumpet and piano studies which became a passion for him by the age of 14. He was the drum major of the high school marching band, and successfully completed a paid contract to arrange music for the high school jazz band which performed in a state beauty pageant. He began teaching privately after high school, and continued playing in bands, and composing original music. He formed a professional jazz ensemble under the name of the Chicago Jazz Players by the age of 22, and developed his arranging techniques while having it performed by an eighteen piece orchestra consisting of many great local artists. It was in this environment that he gained experience with brass, woodwinds, and rhythm instruments. He was granted a position at Columbia College as an instructor at age 29 where he taught theory, sight singing, musicianship, ear training, harmony, orchestration, and composition. He scored the music for several plays, and conducted his own pieces with Chicago Symphony and Lyric Opera Players. During those years he found himself playing the guitar and singing more than anything else. It was in 1995 that he focused on singing and playing the guitar with his rock band. He has produced several CD recordings of his original music in his own studio, and has helped produce local bands and artists. He performs regularly in the Chicago area.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

New year, new attitude. Achieve more in 2014 by making a few adjustments to your thinking.
During the holidays, I reviewed the hundreds of conversations I'd had over the years with highly successful people. While there were a few exceptions, almost all of them exhibited the following ways of thinking:
1. Positivity. Positive thinkers believe they can make a positive impact in the world. They look at the world as it really is, visualize how they'd like it to be and then take action to make it that way.
By contrast, negative thinkers are afraid the world will have a negative impact upon them. They see problems hiding everywhere, visualize what could go wrong, and avoid action in order to avoid disaster.
2. Empathy. Empathic thinkers try to understand what motivates and inspires other people and then try to help them achieve those goals. They're natural team builders and natural salespeople.
By contrast, egocentric thinkers are absorbed in their own thoughts and emotions. Because they think the world revolves around them, they quickly alienate co-workers and customers.
3. Objectivity. Objective thinkers build strategies and tactics based upon "facts on the ground," even if those facts are painful to contemplate or difficult to cope with.
By contrast, subjective thinkers suffer from confirmation bias. They accept facts that support their previously-held opinions and ignore facts that don't. As a result, they're blindsided by trends that were hidden in plain sight.
4. Patience. Patient thinkers differentiate between the right time to take action and the right time to leave well enough alone. They realize that other people and outside events have their own rhythms and timetables.
By contrast, impatient thinkers throw themselves into hurly-burly activity in a vain attempt to force the issue. They're like gardeners who yank on seedlings in the hope it will make the plants grow more quickly.
5. Generosity. Generous thinkers want to share what they've learned and earned. They know that the more they share, the more they'll eventually receive in return. They therefore draw people towards them.
By contrast, the skinflints of the world cling to whatever they've got and keep it hidden from others. They think that life is a zero sum game where winning means having more stuff than the other guy.
6. Gratitude. Grateful people appreciate what's already in their lives. They know that success is always a group effort, and they always remember to thank (and compensate) those who've helped.
By contrast, ungrateful people don't enjoy anything in their lives because whatever they've got, it's never enough. They make themselves miserable regardless of where they are in their lives.

I had a great week in Miami at Karla's place. The location is perfect. A fifteen minute walk to the beach and a two minute walk to Lincoln Ave with countless restaurants and shopping. The house was clean and very comfortable. Karla and her daughter are great hosts. I would highly recommend staying with them. Oh and having a free parking space is huge as its impossible to get a spot in South Beach.
A cozy place to stay!
Fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend this gem of a place to others :)
Karla and her daughter were both very friendly and welcoming. Their house is bigger than it seems compared to the pictures. The house allows easy access to vibrant areas of Miami Beach but it is still in a relaxed location. We enjoyed our stay at Karla's place and would recommend it to others.
We really enjoyed our stay here. Unfortunately we didn't get to meet Karla but we met her daughters who were lovely and really welcoming. It's an older house but a lovely space and walkable to the beach in 15mins. Bed was comfy, lots of storage, shower was strong. The neighbourhood is quiet which suited us perfectly.
Pasamos en casa de Karla una sola noche pues estábamos de paso. No nos conocimos personalmente pero estaban las hijas esperándonos cuando llegamos. La ubicación de la casa es inmejorable y tiene estacionamiento propio, algo fundamental en Miami.
Karla and her sweet daugthers were great hosts!
The location is very good! 2 blocks from Lincolnroad and Espangniolaway. There is a nice place to sit outside. Karla made us feel like home!
It was a nice little stay in the near of Miami Beach. The connection to karla was easy and fast. The house is charming. Thanks
Convenient location, quiet and near Lincoln road. Convenient for buses and taxis and restaurants. Karla is very busy so we didn't see much of her but she is friendly and creates a relaxed environment. Lovely to meet her daughters too.
great location - laid back host - would stay again

The Landing, Napier Review
Hosts Jill and Alan Phillips will be delighted to see you at their modern, light, airy and comfortable guesthouse set on a sunny hillside in Napier. The three en-suite bedrooms are all beautifully furnished, but try to snare the front one for the magnificent view. Stroll into the comfortable lounge area, step out onto the veranda and gasp at the 180 degree panorama over sea and shore to the misty hills on the horizon. There is secure garaging but your hosts will also pick you up from the airport or bus.
