This rebate has been around for a bit and we gave it a shot previously. We found that while it was decent litter, it tracked a lot more so we didn't end up using it again. That said, free litter is a decent deal and this wasn't bad littler, so it is probably worth the effort if you don't mind going through the effort of a rebate.

Competition plays a peripheral role at Let's Move Sportz. Coaches of the coed flag-football league, which welcomes kids aged 5–12, emphasize sportsmanship and camaraderie instead. Above all else, they aim to keep kids active and healthy, giving words of encouragement as budding athletes—clad in NFL flag-football jerseys—tackle the basics of noncontact football.
At Rivertowne 12 Cinemas, children's films, supernatural thrillers, comedies, and superhero blockbusters all share equal billing. Twelve auditoriums light their silver screens with 3D and digital projections, carrying audience members to other worlds so they don't blow their savings accounts while trying to make a space elevator.
Calleva at National Harbor organizes adventures that traverse land, water, and air, each designed to inspire the intrepid with the bounties of nature. A terra-based encounter, the guided bike ride over the Woodrow Wilson Bridge and Mount Vernon Trail combines the thrill of physical activity with the wonder of american bald eagle and bald presidential monument sightings. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekends, pedal pumpers are treated to panoramic views of the Potomac River. If the allure of the deep overcomes grounded wanderings, embark on a watery outing in a solo kayak, canoe, or tandem kayak, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on weekends. After a mind-stretching lesson on paddling and water safety, boat brethren can drift through the National Harbor in their floating vessels and explore the shores of the District and Alexandria, stopping occasionally to feed breadcrumbs to migrating politicians.
The Washington Kastles are the 2009 champions of the World Team Tennis league, a 35-year-old tennis association co-founded by Billie Jean King that pits 10 co-ed teams in head-to-head action against one another as they compete for the King Trophy and a chance to face Borlock, the many-tentacled galactic tennis champion from the Ursa Wimbledon nebula. During the July 12 match, watch the Kastles take on the New York Buzz, including former number-one-ranked player Martina Hingis. You'll also receive a free Kastles T-shirt (a $15 value), and have the chance to ask Kastles coach Murphy Jensen to sign your lock of Andre Agassi's hair during a Groupon-exclusive meet-and-greet (a $25 value). With the second option, get the free T-shirt plus a seat during the July 18 match against the Boston Lobsters. Although the Washington Kastles' roster boasts both Williams sisters, neither will be playing at these matches.
At East Potomac Tennis Center, a league of racket-wielding pros employs private lessons, group classes, and open-court play to teach the fine points of volleying. With an hour of indoor court time, practice or play among the community center's five newly resurfaced, well-lit indoor playmats. Exuding a 70-degree climate year-round, fellow ball swatters can take to the courts for a cool summertime volley or a sweat-inducing try at hitting the ball through a steel wall.

What is TourGuideTim Theme Based Travel?
What is TourGuideTim Theme Based Travel?
- Free Online Travel Guide providing more details about more attractions than any other source.
- Expert Guided Tours providing more insight on specialized themes than any other tour company.
What makes TourGuideTim Theme Based Travel unique?
- Treating travelers as unique individuals with different interests, not as a mass market.
- Helping visitors find the right experiences so they have a memorable vacation.
- Constantly searching for information that provides rare insights for TourGuideTim guests.
- Dedicated to making people want to say, "WOW! What a Great Experience!"
Why do Visitors Receive Such Passionate Attention from TourGuideTim?
The story starts in a hospital room, once occupied by Mother Theresa, overlooking San Diego's Torrey Pines Golf Course and the Pacific Ocean. (Picture below.)
That is where the owner of TourGuideTim Theme Based Travel, Timothy Schenck, found himself for two weeks recovering from heart surgery in January 2008. It was the end of a trying period of time that started a few years earlier when he suffered a viral attack after traveling abroad on his honeymoon.
With plenty of time to reflect during the trying times and culminating with the inspiration of a new beginning while enjoying spectacular California sunsets over a beautiful landscape from a hospital room, Tim decided he had to share the San Diego he knew with the world.
Tim had always been surprised since moving to San Diego in 1998 from the East Coast that so few people seemed to visit the places in San Diego he found so fascinating. He had also been shocked to see so few tour buses around San Diego relative to other great cities he has visited around the world. He has explored towns and cities throughout Austria, France, Great Britain, Germany, Czech Republic, Australia, and countless others. But, for some reason, people just seem to be missing the boat on San Diego.
People know about San Diego's great weather, the Zoo, and SeaWorld but these great attractions are just the tip of the iceberg of what visitors can enjoy in San Diego. Even many native San Diegans were not aware of the places Tim would find while exploring every corner of his new hometown from the ocean to the mountains and desert, nor were they aware of the unique history of San Diego that Tim would read in books from the San Diego Historical Society, where his wife volunteered as a proofreader.
So, while Tim had plenty of time to reflect as he recovered from his ailment, he decided it was time to put away his CPA license and take his attention to detail and his passion to do things that make people say "Wow" and apply it to the promotion of the unique aspects of San Diego.
It was time to let the world know that there is much more to San Diego than meets the eye. San Diego is full of tourist attractions that would be famous had they been located in almost any other city instead of hiding in the shadows of San Diego's more famous attractions that have withstood the test of time. Little attention has been given to the fact San Diego has much more than just sun, sand, pandas and Shamu.
So, start exploring this online travel guide, which currently describes over 250 attractions, with many more still to be added. There is something for everyone. You only need to start looking to find the attractions that will appeal to your heart. Don't just go where everyone else goes. Otherwise, you will miss out on some great lifetime memories.
For those who want a more hands on experience and the opportunity to go behind the scenes where few people have gone before, join TourGuideTim and other experts as they personally show you the best of San Diego.
Best Wishes.

Choosing flies resembling insects that are either in their larval form, about to hatch or newly hatched is nothing new. For hundreds of years, folks have been tying flies that were intended to duplicate, with reasonable accuracy, the insects that were hatching on the water they would be fishing. But this new trend was consciously different, because it took a more avowedly scientific approach. It required of the angler the kind of serious observation of the aquatic insect's life cycle, appearance and action that one would expect of an entomologist. Matching the hatch also advocated extremely accurate duplication (sometimes at streamside with the aid of a portable fly-tying kit) of the specific insects that were actually hatching in real time.
As a sophomore in high school who tied a limited variety of flies, I read Doug Swisher's pioneering Selective Trout, one of the first books on the subject. Actually, I read enough of it to be intimidated by the disciplined approach and then lost interest. I was catching plenty of cutthroat trout on little Western streams and mountain lakes that had lots of fish and not much angling pressure. Discipline in fishing was something that I, as a 16-year-old, pimply-faced kid who was already catching fish with easy-to-tie attractor patterns, just couldn't relate to.
One of my fishing pals, Stephen Downey, consistently catches more fish than I do. True, he's a better fisherman than I am, but as I've gotten older, I've become more interested in observing insect activity the same way I watch for and identify birds. These days, I tend to spend considerably more time sitting at streamside observing than fishing.
A couple of years ago, I began carrying two little books when I fish -- Art Flick's New Streamside Guide and Trout Stream Insects by Dick Pobst. I also started packing one of those little nets that's used to catch goldfish in home aquariums, so I can catch flies for identification. The first insect that I conclusively identified was the little black caddis, a black wisp of a thing about the size of a No. 16 hook. According to Pobst, this insect "emerges from gentle riffles and runs" and "rides the water as an adult." I had seen this insect randomly riding smooth water, but it's too small and dark for me to have noticed where it was actually hatching until I caught one and looked it up to find out about it.
Knowing where a specific insect emerges -- in this case, in gentle riffles and runs -- changes things considerably, because it tells you where fish are most likely to be taking advantage of a feeding opportunity. Once I found out that the little black caddis was probably emerging in the riffles 30 feet upstream from where I was sitting, I tied on a black-ant imitation (the closest thing I could find at the time in my fly box), trimmed the top off the hackle to more closely mimic a caddis emerger, rigged a strike indicator, and cast it into the riffles upstream. I caught a fish on the second cast, and the experience made a big impression on me.
Concerning insects that will be emerging on Western North Carolina waters in April: The March brown, when preparing to metamorphose, will move from the floor of the rapids (where they've lived for 99 percent of their lives) to emerge in slower water. The Quill Gordon lives and finally emerges in fast water. Blue-wing olives, in the larval form, inhabit gentle riffles and runs containing vegetation.
So identifying aquatic insects tells you more than just which imitation to tie onto the tippet; once you know where that insect is emerging, it also tells you (in theory, at least) where you'll find the fish -- and where you should fish the larval imitations. If, for example, you see March browns emerging in slow water, you might choose to tie on their larval-form artificial -- a buggy little traditional pattern called a gold-ribbed hare's ear -- and fish it through fast water that's upstream from slower water, because that's where the larvae are actively preparing to emerge.
Just as a birder looks for specific markings to identify birds, an angler can do the same with aquatic insects. Many of the upright-winged flies we imitate in WNC waters have two or three tails. I easily identify two-tailed insects with the help of a memorized letter sequence: "QMGCD." If I see a flying insect with two tail segments, I know it's either a Quill Gordon, March brown, Gray fox, Cahill light or Dun variant. That tells me which insects I'm not seeing while hinting at what I may be seeing. From there, all you need to do is remember a few reasonably easy rules. A March brown, for example, looks similar in color (especially in marginal light conditions) to a gray fox, except that the March brown has barred wings.
What's hatching?
To find out what insects will be hatching on local waters this month, go to www.mountainx.com/outdoors.
Of course, all this information doesn't necessarily mean you'll catch more fish -- at least it hasn't for me. But when I'm not catching fish, it gives me a satisfying activity that's bound to yield valuable knowledge for the next time I'm out there watching what's emerging.

What Are USB Settings And How Do I Use Them On My SGH-I617?
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a type of plug-in connection that is used to connect devices, including some handsets, to desktop or laptop PC's. In a handset, USB is useful for quickly transferring files to and from phones, or for synchronizing information with a PC application.
The SGH-I617 handset has the capability to transfer files directly to or from a PC and the handset or a memory card, residing in the handset, using a compatible USB cable. There is a configurable USB setting required for transferring files, via an USB cable, the USB Connection setting.
To select a USB connection setting follow the steps below:

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - West Virginia University officials are expressing concern about possible spending cuts in the state budget.
The university's board of governors held its first meeting of the year on Friday.
WVU's vice president for administration and finance, Narvel Weese, told the board that the university is financially sound and its investments have performed well despite a difficult economy.
But Weese says the Morgantown school is still evaluating how it will absorb a $13.3 million cut in state expenditures for the fiscal year beginning July 1.
Weese says the cuts would impact WVU's delivery of quality services to students and residents. But he says officials remain optimistic that state leadership will work with the university to find creative solutions allow it to grow and succeed into the next decade.

Apache allows users to create documents which provide simple information to clients on the fly. Such information can include the current date, the file's last modification date, and the size or last modification of other files. In its more advanced usage, it can provide a powerful interface to CGI and /bin/sh programs.
SSI Issues
Having the server parse documents is a double edged sword. It can be costly for heavily loaded servers to perform parsing of files while sending them. Further, it can be considered a security risk to have average users executing commands as the server's user.SSI Setup
HTML files are not parsed for SSI by default. To tag a file for SSI, rename it ending in .shtml instead of .html or set the 'x' bit on the file (chmod a+x filename). The x bit method is prefered.The SSI Format
All directives to the server are formatted as SGML comments within the document. This is in case the document should ever find itself in the client's hands unparsed. Each directive has the following format:<!--#command tag1="value1" tag2="value2" -->
Each command takes different arguments, most only accept one tag at a time. Here is a breakdown of the commands and their associated tags:
The config directive controls various aspects of the file parsing. There are two valid tags:
controls what message is sent back to the client if an error includes while parsing the document. When an error occurs, it is logged in the server's error log.timefmt
gives the server a new format to use when providing dates. This is a string compatible with thestrftime
library call under most versions of UNIX.sizefmt
determines the formatting to be used when displaying the size of a file. Valid choices arebytes
, for a formatted byte count (formatted as 1,234,567), orabbrev
for an abbreviated version displaying the number of kilobytes or megabytes the file occupies.
include will insert the text of a document into the parsed document. Any included file is subject to the usual access control. This command accepts two tags:
gives a virtual path to a document on the server. You must access a normal file this way, you cannot access a CGI script in this fashion. You can, however, access another parsed document.file
gives a pathname relative to the current directory. ../ cannot be used in this pathname, nor can absolute paths be used. As above, you can send other parsed documents, but you cannot send CGI scripts.
prints the value of one of the include variables (defined below). Any dates are printed subject to the currently configuredtimefmt
. The only valid tag to this command isvar
, whose value is the name of the variable you wish to echo.fsize
prints the size of the specified file. Valid tags are the same as with theinclude
command. The resulting format of this command is subject to thesizefmt
parameter to theconfig
prints the last modification date of the specified file, subject to the formatting preference given by thetimefmt
parameter toconfig
. Valid tags are the same as with theinclude
executes a given shell command or CGI script. It must be activated to be used. Valid tags are:cmd
will execute the given string using /bin/sh. All of the variables defined below are defined, and can be used in the command.cgi
will execute the given virtual path to a CGI script and include its output. The server does not perform error checking to make sure your script didn't output horrible things like a GIF, so be careful. It will, however, interpret any URL Location: header and translate it into an HTML anchor.
SSI Environment Variables
A number of variables are made available to parsed documents. In addition to the CGI variable set, the following variables are made available:DOCUMENT_NAME
: The current filename.DOCUMENT_URI
: The virtual path to this document (such as /docs/tutorials/foo.shtml).QUERY_STRING_UNESCAPED
: The unescaped version of any search query the client sent, with all shell-special characters escaped with \.DATE_LOCAL
: The current date, local time zone. Subject to thetimefmt
parameter to theconfig
: Same as DATE_LOCAL but in Greenwich mean time.LAST_MODIFIED
: The last modification date of the current document. Subject totimefmt
like the others.

SEC POWER RANKINGS: The Texas A&M Aggies wrapped up their first regular season in the SEC last weekend with a thrashing of Mizzou. In any other conference, a 10-2 record and a top-10 ranking would be enough to be in the conference title race. But in the SEC? Not quite.

This story explains how cutting your losses can take you to millionaire status.
If you invested $250,000 in 2000, you'd have: | |
Yacktman (YACKX) | $1,211,650 |
Nicholas Equity Income (NSEIX) | $752,500 |
Parnassus Equity Income (PRBLX) | $710,200 |
Vanguard Dividend Growth (VDIGX) | $498,600 |
Standard & Poor's 500 | $356,800 |
Amid the financial crisis, businesses jettisoned money-losing units by the droves. That not only conserved cash but helped companies rebound more quickly once the economy picked up, since they were no longer weighed down by those losses.
Take Ford. Just two years after the automaker sold off its troubled Jaguar and Land Rover lines, for $2.3 billion in 2008, the company roared back to profitability.
Figuring out how to deal with your money-losing investments can go a long way toward improving your personal finances too. You just have to establish some ground rules.
Have an exit strategy
Establish limits for how much you're willing to lose. When the bear market began in October 2007, the managers of the Sierra Core Retirement Fund (SIRIX) immediately got to selling. They had no choice.
The fund's rules require selling certain types of holdings once they drop, in some cases if they fall as little as 4%. By early 2008, Sierra had dumped most of its equities and thus lost just 3% that year as the broad market sank 37%.
Related: Best deals in investing
"The path to a good night's sleep is strong discipline with a consistent exit strategy," says co-manager Frank Barbera Jr.
Okay, when should you start selling? Mike Scarborough, president of Scarborough Capital Management, suggests setting a trigger based on your age and type of stock.
While a 55-year-old might want to sell a blue-chip stock or an actively managed fund once losses exceed 10%, a fortysomething can hang on until 15%, he says. With more volatile, small-company stocks and funds, he suggests a 15% threshold for older investors and 20% for younger ones.
Related: 'How I made $1 million'
Remember, he's talking about selling an individual security here, not abandoning your equity allocation. His point is simply that once a stock suffers steep losses, you're better off trying to make up that lost ground with a more diversified approach.
The math is powerful: If you can keep your aggregate losses to 10%, you'd have to regain only 11% to fully recover. Lose 40%, though, and you'd have to earn 67% to get back. That would take years.
For instance, assume that in 2008 you had $750,000 in your stock portfolio. That would have fallen to $472,500 after the crash. Even after a 4½ year bull run, you'd still be about $80,000 shy of the $1 million mark. Had you simply trimmed your 2008 losses by five points, though, your stocks would be worth $1 million today.
Seek downside protection
Go with funds that can weather storms. MONEY asked Morningstar for a list of no-load stock funds with below-average expense ratios and good track records that consistently outperformed in lousy markets.
Morningstar screened for U.S. portfolios based on something called "down-side capture." This gauges how well a fund performed in down months relative to its benchmark (go to Morningstar.com, type in a fund's ticker, and then hit the Ratings & Risk tab).
Several blue-chip stock funds have lost at least 20% less on average in recent downturns. Among them: Yacktman (YACKX), Nicholas Equity Income (NSEIX), and Parnassus Equity Income (PRBLX). Not surprisingly, had you invested in these funds at the start of 2000, you'd be on a much faster track to millionaire status.

Correct past mistakes, don't prolong them
You can't bank on a new housing boom. Homeowners who bought too much house in the bubbly 2000s have been struggling to stay afloat. This is particularly true for those who couldn't refinance recently because their mortgages were underwater.
Now that housing is back, though, should you take the opportunity to sell, or hold on in case prices snap back? If you've been sinking under a loan that's only now coming back to par, it's probably time to sell and downsize, says Seattle financial planner Karen Ramsey.
Housing is unlikely to revert to 2002-06 form. Moreover, homes have delivered annualized after-inflation price gains of 1.3% since 1900, vs. 5.4% for stocks, according to Credit Suisse Research. So your house is hardly the fastest way to $1 million.
Don't act like a shortsighted CEO by...
...dumping everything in your portfolio. According to Morningstar, U.S. stock funds with turnover rates of more than 200% (meaning they replace all their holdings at least twice a year) gained 7.2% a year for the past decade, vs. 9.2% for funds with less than 50% turnover.
Assuming you have $250,000, it would take you 20 years to hit $1 million at that slower pace -- four years longer than if you chose more patient fund managers.

if it's magic.
then why can't it be everlasting?
Among the things I'll miss most about New Orleans are regular weekly opportunities to hear John Boutté sing anything from Stevie Wonder's "If It's Magic" to Randy Newman's "Louisiana, 1927." Lucky for me and my N.Y. friends (hint, hint) he'll perform at Joe's Pub on June 6th.
Here's a brief appreciation I wrote for this week's Village Voice.

Oswego County Democrat Amy Tresidder will announce her run for New York state Senate tomorrow at events in Jefferson, St. Lawrence and Oswego counties.
She'll face state Sen. Patty Ritchie, a freshman Republican of Heuvelton, in the Nov. 6 election.
Ms. Tresidder, a county legislator from Oswego, is a native of St. Lawrence County. She is a stay-at-home mother to five children, according to a news release.
At 3 p.m., she'll announce at 95 Public Square, Room 205, the county Democratic Party headquarters.
She will also make an announcement at the Canton VFW.
So far, she's said that broken promises — STAR rebate checks, a lack of redistricting reform — will be a major plank in her campaign.
Ms. Tresidder has the support of the party chairmen in the three counties.

Lisa Haugaard [Executive Director, Latin America Working Group]: "The United States and the international community's response to the Haitian earthquake must not only be generous, long-term and sustainable. It must also respect and promote rights.
To "rebuild with rights," a starting place might be considering these principles.
In the United States, Partners in Health/Lanmi Lasante and five other human rights and humanitarian groups urged a rights-based approach to relief and recovery efforts, including "Empowering all strata of the Haitian population to participate in decision making at each level of the aid and development process, from the initial needs assessment to project planning, implementation, and evaluation." Twelve US humanitarian and human rights organizations called [PDF file] on the Obama Administration to provide generous assistance that builds on existing plans, promotes sustainable development, and protects vulnerable populations. UN High Commission for Human Rights Navy Pillay called for "re-constructing and strengthening the national human rights protection systems through an effective and independent judiciary and a law enforcement apparatus respectful of human rights."
Carrying out such a rights-based approach is never easy, and will be extremely difficult in the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, but the international community, working in partnership with the Haitian government and civil society, must aim high."

The Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) opposes mandatory, generalized labeling requirements for biotech foods like those proposed in House Bill 433. "An Act relating to labeling and identification of genetically modified fish and fish products." However, we strongly support the existing federal requirements for accurate and informative food labels, which communicate information that is relevant to health, safety and nutrition.
House Bill 433 would require mandatory labeling of biotech fish and fish products developed using biotechnology. This is unnecessary and misleading legislation ignores existing science-based federal guidelines on labeling of biotechnology-derived foods. In addition, it would be costly to implement, and would not provide consumers with any beneficial information.

Greeting and salutations FESTers,
After a home stretch of sleepless nights, queasy nerves and glossy eyes, Fest weekend is finally here! People are rolling into town. Pre-shows are happening. The office is set up at the Holiday Inn. Networks are live. We're in a hundred places at once, getting this wild ride to run without a hitch!
If you're reading this, you're most likely hanging with your bros, on your way and have a few questions. TO HELP US ALL OUT, PLEASE READ THE WEBSITE FIRST.
If you have any questions about registration: click here.
Keep an eye out for signs. We'll be running two lines this year. One for general attendees, and another for bands/sponsors/press/guests. This should help clear up some confusion.
Registration on Thursday (tomorrow) is only for general attendees. If you ordered merch, you can get it either Friday or Saturday at registration.
If you have any other questions: click here.
If you have a question about walk up sales: check out the schedule, where prices and amounts are listed.
If you have a question about hotel confirmations: click here.
If you are a band and have no idea what's going on, check your inbox. Sarah has been emailing the main contact for the band many times now.
Weekend passes will be available for sale at the merch stand on FRIDAY and SATURDAY only at registration. $125 cash only. You can still buy them online tonight and save a few bucks. Also – name changes are only going to be processed until noon on Thursday (tomorrow). Everyone needs a photo ID to do anything - to pick up your tickets, to get into venues, to exist in our world. Foreigners, this means you need to have your passport on hand. I know that's nerve wracking, but your driver's licenses won't help you in our alligator fishing land.
All you need to get checked into Fest is your photo ID. Don't panic if you don't have your confirmation print out or credit card.
They're happening!
Droid: Thanks to John Flynn of Punknews.org for once again making a killer FEST 11 app for the Android. You can grab it here for FREE.
iPhone: Check this out! The Fest 11 by Rob McWhinnie. I still like the TARDIS though.
Look out for those to be revealed on the website tonight. It's happening!
You need your Fest wristband to get in. It's BYOB, but no glass. Get ready to par-tay!
The Photo Booth is bringing back the fun to Fest 11! Come see us during registration, get your photo taken, bring your friends, dress up (we've got props!), smile, frown, jump, drink, or do whatever – in front of a giant Fest backdrop! We'll make sure to capture it on camera. Take a look at last year's photos (you can find them on our website or on Facebook) to get an idea what this is all about.
The Photo Booth is TOTALLY FREE! It will cost you nothing, nada, rien, niente, nichts! (but please consider a small donation) Also: if you are impatient and want the image right away, it will just take 1 minute to print you a copy right there on location (those will be 3$). All photos will be posted on the website and Facebook after the Fest.
You can find us during Friday registration from noon till about 6pm at the Holiday Inn, in the same room as the registration. The line is probably right by us. So feel free to step aside for a minute and take a photo. We will also be at the Holiday Inn after party on Sunday night.
Hope to see a lot of you in the weekend!
Your Fest Photo Booth Team: Marc, Kendra, Robert
We're all excited and want to send all the posi-vibes your way. We're looking to another great year. Safe travels, and see you in the Swamp soon!
- Tony/Fest 11 Crew
Hey FEST friends,
Check out our BIG update below. Lots going down in the weeks to come so make sure to follow us on TWITTER and FACEBOOK for updates. For now, check out what new we have cooking below.

We have a little over 400 weekend passes left for sale. After that they are all gone. Out of that 400 we have placed some in local Gainesville businesses. You can purchase them in CASH ONLY at the following joints while they last.

So, if you look at the schedule page you will see that there have been some crazy changes made. Biggest cause of this is that we are no longer going to be doing shows FEST weekend at STEREO. Nothing really bad happened. They just got in with a little capacity issues recently, so we decided that maybe this year would not be the best time to use them as a venue. We really hope they get everything worked out with the city so we can add them to the family of venues next year.
Luckily we were able to find a NEW space to cover those shows. We will be doing shows all weekend long at a new space owned by the folks who run THE TOP/ THE ATLANTIC. FEST will be their first weekend open and the space is coming along in great strides. On the schedule we will be listing it as THE NEW TOP SPOT (but is still listed as STEREO in the meantime). Until they come up with something better this will do. So, check out the schedule and take a look how things shifted. I hope the schedule will stay pretty strong on it's legs and we do not have many more changes.
On Monday Oct 15th at 7:00pm EST, we will sell 100 FEST VIP PASS UPGRADES. What are these you ask? Well, these are upgrades to your FEST 11 weekend pass. If you are one of the lucky 100 people to purchase this upgrade you will have the privilege to skip the lines and get into the venues even faster at all FEST 11 shows. However, if the venue is at capacity you will have to wait at the front of the line until space opens up at in the venue. You will NOT be able to escort and these passes will come with a special laminate and colored FEST wristband so they will NOT be transferable. Once again you MUST have or purchase a FEST 11 weekend pass to purchase the upgrade for your pass. This is NOT a weekend pass. Dig? If you are in a band/sponsor/volunteer and would like to purchase a VIP upgrade please note in your order what band or if you are a volunteer/sponsor. We can switch out your general pass for your VIP pass you have purchased.
These upgrades will be $100 each and we are only selling 100 of them starting Monday Oct 15th at 7:00pm EST on the TICKETS PAGE!!!
We once again will be giving you guys a series of 6 FREE download compilations of bands playing FEST 11. Check them out here. We will be adding the rest in the weeks leading up to FEST. A special thanks goes out to all the bands for donating a song and to our very own Sarah Goodwin for taking the time to compile these for you all to enjoy.

This month The Top Shelf is yielding our spot to on Lead Us Down to Fest Radio, the great idea that never quite got off the ground to get it's own place to live. We will be back next month with more in depth album interviews.
This episode of Fest Radio features Tony and Dave drinking beer brewed in Gainesville listening to and chatting about the following bands: Static Radio / Broadcaster / Menzingers / Cheap Girls / Broadway Calls/ Dikembe / Titus Andronicus / Look Mexico / Glocca Morra / The Smith Street Band / Toys That Kill.
Fest Season is getting under way. Plans get made, and plans get scrapped. Over the summer, Tony and Dave started working on a Fest Radio podcast to highlight new bands, chat up history and share stories. The plan was ambitious, but only a couple episodes were made. Here's Episode 1. Episode 2 will be airing on WGOT-LP, 94.7 FM Saturday 6PM, EST during the Fest. Also streaming online at wgot.org
Check out these posters, buy your tickets, and start that countdown calendar!

Hey Everyone,
Fall is here, and with it the mad cap colorful world of Orange and Blue has once again invaded our town leaving me the only option of hiding away in my house or a dark bar and getting the final preparations for FEST 11 in order. We have the update that you all have been waiting for , THE FEST 11 SCHEDULE HAS BEEN POSTED.
So, take it all in. I look forward to hearing all your whimpering about said band playing against said band. I know it is hard but at least you get to see majority of them. Put yourself in my flops for once. I spend almost a year working on all this and spent months slaving over this schedule and when it comes down to it I honestly get to see maybe a song or two from a handful of bands. There are just too many damn good bands playing so when you do the math someone has to play against someone awesome right? Also, when we announce some of our planned pre-fest shows (hopefully soon) maybe you can catch someone early on and scratch them off your wish list. Also, you will noticed we are doing the MYSTERY BAND slots again this year. To save the rumors there will be no one that is not already playing FEST 11 playing this year. Or, so far. Those slots will be announced Friday morning of FEST and will be bands who are already playing doing a "special" set to look cool and get more free beer and grub. We have some lined up and will be asking a few more in the weeks to come. If you want a band to do it then BUG THEM! Not us about it.
We also added a few bands bands since our last update: New to FEST 11 will be:
Candy Hearts, Dads, GG King, The Ones to Blame, Hostage Calm, The World is a beautiful place & I am no longer afraid to die, Sauis La Lune, Citizen, Life Chain, The Joint Chiefs of Math and the return of High Voltage (Bon Scott-era AC/DC Tribute band)
In bad news Baroness had to bail from all their 2012 show dates. If you did not hear yet, the band was involved in a major tour bus accident in the UK where they were pretty banged up and spent a great deal of time in the hospital. As of Aug 27th all have been treated and released. For more info please visit the band's site: http://baronessmusic.com/
These guys have been close friends of FEST since the early days of it's inception. We are just glad they made it out of this tragic accident alive and hope to see them blowing our brains again soon.
Also, if you have not had the pleasure to view the 6 part documentary about an epic journey to FEST 10 by the Aussie folks over at D.I Wireless check them all out here:
The final episode culminates with their arrival in Gainesville for FEST 10 and honestly gave me goose bumps when I watched it. Check it out in our video player above and much love to them for all their heart and hard work that went into capturing the true essence of what FEST is all about!
I think that is about it for today. Look soon for PRE-FEST show announcements and the addition of FEST 11 COMEDY SHOWCASE!!!
Hey everybody,

TORONTO -- Jonas Gustavsson's bid to land a goaltending job with the Toronto Maple Leafs has been stalled by a heart problem coach Ron Wilson describes as a minor concern.
Gustavsson experienced a racing heartbeat following fitness tests Saturday, took part in on-ice sessions Monday and, when he didn't appear at the NHL club's practice facility Tuesday, Wilson was asked about the Swede's absence.
Doctors have performed an ablation, which requires an incision in the groin area, said Wilson.
"They go in and touch a part of his heart that was misfiring," said Wilson. "It's a simple procedure that's actually fairly common with athletes.
"Our doctor said he'll do 10 NHL players in a summer if they're ever shown this (problem). It's not a difficult procedure. We don't expect him to miss more than 48 hours. You don't want him to put his gear on until he's comfortable and there's no risk of infection (at the site of the incision)."
Gustavsson is battling for the backup position behind incument Vesa Toskala. He had a 1.96 goals-against average with Farjestads of the Swedish Elite League last season and was a much-ballyhooed signing by the Leafs earlier this summer.
"He's 24 and this has never popped up before," Wilson said of the racing heartbeat.
Gustavsson was "the most powerful guy we had" in some of the fitness tests before the problem arose Saturday, said Wilson.
Joey MacDonald of Pictou, N.S., who appeared in 49 NHL games for the New York Islanders last season, is also vying for the job of backing up Toskala.
Martin St. Louis is a Ranger, Matt Moulson is a member of the Minnesota Wild and the Montreal Canadiens have Thomas Vanek. Look back at all the big name deals that went down.

Authentication and Chemical Fingerprinting of Economically Important Species
Kew has been using a range of analytical methods based on chemical and DNA fingerprinting to identify the species of plants being traded, their quality as well as identifying new uses.
Different processed forms of Panax ginseng (Asian Ginseng) roots. Methods have been developed at Kew to chemically fingerprint extracts of 'ginseng' species for the purposes of authentication and quality control. Photo: Lin Yu-Lin.
Habitat loss, through changes in land use and climate change are placing pressures on plant diversity and the sustainable supply of plants for use by local communities as well as for those entering the trade. These challenges to plant diversity are occurring at a time when there is an increased interest in plant-based products for use in cosmetics, herbal medicines, functional foods, potpourri, dyes and pet products as well as bio-fuels. Kew has been using a range of analytical methods based on chemical and DNA fingerprinting to identify the species of plants being traded, their quality as well as identifying new uses. Authentication of material entering the trade involves not only the identification of the material but investigating whether the plant-derived products contain the appropriate range of compounds associated with their proposed use. Kew is also working with others to evaluate whether the plants are being supplied from sustainable sources. To date, we have studied the uses of over 13,000 species, of which about 3,000 are being traded. In most cases the correct species has been traded, although we are increasingly encountering incidents when the incorrect species has been traded. In other cases the extracts being traded do not contain the appropriate profile of compounds that would support their proposed use. These issues often reveal a lack of knowledge about the plants being used and the methods needed to ensure the appropriate compounds are in the extracts. Over-exploitation of some species, especially those that are wild harvested has identified the need to develop sustainable harvesting practices to avoid adulterants or poor quality material entering the trade.
At a commercial level the outputs of this project have highlighted to companies, health and conservation regulators the need to check the authentication of plants entering the trade. At a community level it has also highlighted the need to select plants for propagation that contain the compounds associated with their proposed use. It has also illustrated the relevance and importance of the living and taxonomic collections at Kew as well as the taxonomic, natural product and biological expertise of the Kew staff in authenticating material.
The main authentication project can be broken down into a series of sub-projects that deal with different commodity and user groups and are funded through varied sources. For example, the use of plant-derived extracts in over-the-counter health products and cosmetics has been funded through a grant from the EPSRC and Proctor and Gamble. Important issues associated with the identification of plants entering the trade for use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) continue to be addressed by the Chinese Medicinal Plants Authentication Centre at RBG Kew. This centre is taking a key role in the EU seventh Network Programme on "Good practice in traditional Chinese medicine research in the post-genomic era" (www.gp-tcm.org).
The outputs of the project are being published in peer-reviewed journals, trade journals and books, and contribute to the monographs for the European and British Pharmacopoeias. Within RBG Kew this project has close links with the Wellcome Trust supported Medicinal Plant Name Index project as well projects being coordinated through other science teams such as the "Systematic phytochemistry of legumes" and Chemosystematics and biological activity of Lamiaceae".

Cobb County shooting guard Kenny Gaines committed to play college basketball for the Georgia Bulldogs when coach Mark Fox called him right after he had prayed for divine guidance. Is this a sign that things are looking up for the Red and Black?
After guiding the Georgia Bulldogs back to the NCAA Tournament, Mark Fox appeared poised to make Red and Black basketball relevant, but momentum was lost on the recruiting trail. Now, it may have been regained, as Milton High point guard Charles Mann has chosen the Hoop Hounds over 23 other suitors.

Rumor Has It: How much better will the iPhone 5S' better camera be?
Last week, Facebook announced video capabilities for Instagram, which nobody was surprised about. But I was a little surprised that the presentation ended with that. I was sure that the company would also announce its answer to Google Reader. Lo and behold, recent rumors suggest that Facebook still has a Reader of its own up its sleeve.
Google could be working its own version of Pinterest, called Google Mine. It would be integrated with Google+, and it could have its own Android app. Of course!
And finally, there's that little gleaming unicorn that everyone is speculating about, the iPhone 5S. Recent rumors suggest that it'll have a boosted camera, jumping 12 megapixels from the iPhone 5's 8. What do you think of those specs? Does it sound likely? Leave a comment below, and don't forget to vote in the poll!

Let's start the party.
Leave your drama at the door, step up or step out!
And when we get things rollin', we'll be rollin' till the break of dawn!
Tonight's the night, so throw your hands in the air and fucking bounce.
Hey, girl, I'm lookin' for a good time.
Oh shit, this is how mistakes are made!
What now?
We've gone too far to take it back.
Oh fuck, I hope you don't keep bothering me.
Embrace the feeling that overcomes us all.
Yeah, I'm not about to preach to your virgin ears.
God damn, livin' the fast life.
Yeah, that's what's up!
Now that I've had some time to think,
I know what's best for me and you.
You're nothing but a one night stand,
and we can talk in fucking hell!
This party's overboard,
and all these whores are fucking sick.
I'm cringing in disgust,
I need more substance.
Smoke a blunt!
What the fuck ever happened to having fun?
You playas take this shit so seriously.
One night stand, fuck this plan.
