Making noise: How Thomas Was Alone creator Mike Bithell put Volume on so many gaming sites
A note from Ben: Mike Bithell found success with Thomas Was Alone, and recently launched a successful PR campaign for his new game, Volume. Sony just featured the title during their press event at Gamescom, and many people are wondering how Bithell was able to convince so many gaming sites to cover this announcement. His answer is interesting, and filled with no-bullshit advice for publicizing your game. Enjoy!
So. You may have heard about my game. It's called Volume, and it's a stealth game. You are more than welcome to visit the site for more info. But I'm not here to plug my game. Well, I am, a little, but mainly I'm here because a lot of my indie dev friends asked me a question on Tuesday:
"How are you on every website?"
PR is a dirty word. It's often sneered at by indies as a waste of time, a distraction from making a game. Worse, promoting yourself is way of hyping, a dishonest grab for attention when your game isn't worth it. If you're game is really really good, then it'll find an audience on merit, and you'll gain the respect you need.
Unfortunately, that's a myth indies with successful games have kind of encouraged through our silence on the topic. Sure, the odd weird little game is so good it spreads like wildfire, but the vast majority of indie games you've heard of have been marketed with some thought. I wanted to lay out the process I went through to get Volume as many places as possible on the day of the announcement.
Disclaimer: I'm lucky enough to have a good network of contacts in the press, primarily from my last game, Thomas Was Alone. While this gives me a degree of access unavailable to people starting out, I still hope this is relevant and useful.
Getting started
It began about three weeks ago. It looked like we were on course to have a trailer ready within the week, and David [Housden] was nearly there with the music. The game was pretty bug free, definitely good enough for the trailer, and to demo it on livestreams. It was time to announce.
Off the record, I went to some journalists and asked them for advice on a day to do it. Common wisdom says Tuesday (early enough in working week that not a lot has happened, late enough that the weekend's breaking news has been covered) but August 13th was especially attractive because there were no major embargoes lifting. Saint's Row was known to be a fun game that'd make some noise, but Tuesday was just before that would get started. I had my date.
Knowing this, me and the team worked hard and pulled a lot of late nights to get the game ready, and actually finished earlier than we expected. It was tempting to go out with the news a week early, but I decided to stick to the plan. The Thursday before the announcement, I began talking openly about an announcement happening, and was approached by a number of the outlets who had the longer form articles and pieces ready, Eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun for example.
I also gave a brief exclusive to The Guardian, because they're awesome and were amongst the first to cover Thomas. These were all done behind closed doors early, to ease the pressure on the day for me as well as for the people having to write the articles.
On the announcement date, I had a new site hidden and ready to go, along with a short YouTube trailer and longer form explanation video. These were hidden from prying eyes, but accessible if you knew the URL, meaning all I had to do was mention the link on twitter to get the ball rolling. I simultaneously sent an email to roughly 120 journalists, all of whom had covered my stuff before or asked to be included in my mailing list.
Subject: I made Thomas Was Alone, I'm now making VOLUME
Body: Volume is a game about a clever man, in a little room.
A trailer, and more information, can be found at the site below.
Combining retro flavoured top down stealth with player generated environments, Volume is designed as a fast paced, smart action game. The player cannot kill, so must use their Ricochet to control enemies, steal loot and complete levels created by friends. It is designed, coded and written by the award winning creator of Thomas Was Alone, Mike Bithell (me) and scored by the epically talented and still annoyingly young David Housden.
I'm available for any interviews you might fancy doing, and to provide any additional information needed. I'm available over Skype or email, and will be attending GDC Europe next week. Please don't hesitate to get in touch.
I am not announcing platforms for the game just yet, but that info will be available shortly.
There is no embargo on this news.. HAVE AT IT!
A few upcoming events to do with the game:
I'll be streaming the game tonight at 9pm UK time (Tuesday) for the first time, and answering viewer questions, watch my twitter (@mikebithell) for final details.
The game will be playable first at Eurogamer Expo 2013 (I'll also be in attendance, if you'd like to schedule an interview and live demo)
The game's story and cast will be announced as part of GameCity in Nottingham, I will not be able to answer any story questions until that time.
So, it was not a normally dry press release, but it clearly and briefly got through all the information neccesary. I then tweeted out the news. And, that was it. I've been dealing with the fallout of emails since then, doing Skype interviews, text emails and podcast recordings. Balancing everything and trying to be prompt with everyone is hard, but possible.
And it worked. The trailer has hit 42k views, which is nice, and every major game site, and many smaller ones, seem to have done coverage. I hope that by talking about the process openly, I've demystified it a little.
Oh, and one last thing. The only major site which didn't cover the original announcement? Penny Arcade Report. So when I decided to write this post I ran the idea to post it up on Penny Arcade by the guys here. Perhaps a bit cynical, but if this blog post was going to exist anywhere online, why not put it somewhere where new folks will see it. [You clever bastard. -Ben] I guess that'd be my last tip, seek out opportunities, and never be afraid to be a bit cheeky.
Getting the word out is tricky, but if you're friendly, honest and aren't afraid to put yourself out there, it can work.

Charleston, SC is one of the most unique and historic cities in the south and during this informative tour, your private guide will relate its over three hundred years of history while passing by beautiful homes, historic churches, magnificent public buildings and many other points of interest.
Starting off from the pier, you will first make your way to see Hampton Park and The Citadel. Next, you will see the beautiful Second Presbyterian Church, a classic revival building that was built between 1809-1811. The church's congregation just celebrated its 200th anniversary in 2011.
It's a short stroll from the church to the Joseph Manigault House, the highlight of your tour. Built in 1803 by a wealthy rice planter, this house is considered one of the finest examples of Adamesque Architecture in the country and is beautifully furnished with period antiques. During your visit, you will be treated to cookies and lemonade on the piazza of this stately home.
Following your time at the Joseph Manigault House, your coach will travel along the Battery where you can view the lovely homes built by wealthy rice and cotton planters between 1820 and 1850 and there will be a brief stop for photos. You will also see 18th century Rainbow Row (1740-1800) with its brightly colored single houses which at one time housed shops and homes when east Bay Street was right at the water's edge and the main street in Charleston. Before finding yourself back at the pier, you will pass Hibernian Hall, Charleston's Irish society, and the Old Exchange and Provost Dungeon, which is considered one of the three most important buildings in the country from the Revolutionary period.
Please note: This tour includes just over 1-hour of moderate walking/standing. There will be stairs to negotiate to reach the upper floors of the Joseph Manigault House. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests and may not be suitable for those with mobility concerns who are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability.

Formulating questions and concerns: CCC-BOS Elections
Original post made by [removed] on Apr 17, 2012
After an embarrassing start to districts 2, 3 and 5 elections where disservices have occurred for voters, a) district 3 and 5 incumbents running unapposed and without majority support of voters, and 2) district 2, with voters offended by creed prejudice from district demoncratic clubs, voters within the majorities of those district's neighborhoods are now formulating questions for candidates.
Neighborhoods fully expect Mary Piepho and Federal Glover to hide from such questions that focus on the future of Contra Costa County. Further, Neighborhoods as the majority in district 2 are prepared to challenge Tomi van de Brooke on her role among consortium politics and hiding behind a message of creed prejudice.
Neighborhoods have their questions for the April 21 candidates evaluations scheduled for Tice Valley and have audit teams prepared for programs April 23, 26 and May 7. Thus, as you prepare for your April 26 program, do you believe that your questions and concerns will match the majority of voters in district 2? As you further cover the district 3 election, do you expect Mary Piepho to have any meaningful credibility among voters to warrant any ballot voting for her candidacy?
What if a majority voted for OTHER in all supervisor races; how would that impact your reporting?
on Apr 19, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Hal, Hal, Hal,
Not sure what you are expecting especially since you don't show to these events.
Hate to break it to you, but for all intents and purposes District 5, (Federal Glover) and District 3, (Mary Piepho) do not have an election, therefore they do not have to campaign.
As always you want to give an appearance of what you or some fictitious "neighborhood consortium" - "audit teams" are going to do but in the end if falls flat. <Crickets chirping>…
How's that been working out for you?
I personally agree with Tomi Van De Brooke and feel that Candice Andersen's beliefs are what guide her in the decision making process; therefore her beliefs do have a direct bearing on her as a candidate. Try as you might you cannot get around that inconvenient fact.
Hal, once again you are out of your league and transparent in your aversion for Mary, Federal, and now Tomi.
Since YOU can't vote "OTHER" in opposition for Mary or Federal, your rhetoric has no real meaning.
on Apr 19, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Thank you, Gina, for your sponsored response.
We can now fully understand that creed prejudice and avoidance of voter issues will continue in your program on April 26. You are now challenged by what candidates believe:
Tomi believes she can hide behind her campaign of creed prejudice and not deal with primary issues of public safety, government communication, environment (planning) & infrastructure, traffic & transportation, and economic development & jobs development.
By contrast, Candace has stepped front and center to focus on the real job of being supervisor with full fiscal responsibility in delivering to the will and interest of district 2 voters.
Your political vaudeville no longer plays among the majority of district 2 voters and your sponsorship of attack brutality disqualifies you as a journalist.
So when this gig fails, what busines will you be in?
on Apr 19, 2012 at 9:02 pm
Ohhhhhhh Hal, So predictable!
I see you are "making friends and influencing people" once again. What is it with you-anyone that disagrees with you and your wild theories suddenly becomes part of a conspiracy? Dude, you really need to step back a few paces. Not everyone is out to get you-and clearly you have a very limited view of politics and human nature.
Tomi has chief of staff on her resume so clearly she understands the job of a County Supervisor. Many would argue that Candace's experience is limited- She can't get through a debate without mentioning Danville in each and every reply. Yawwwwwn.
You are going to remain frustrated until you come to grips with the fact that you are the odd man out.
Till then, keep that tin foil hat on tight!

At Advocate Christ Medical Center, volunteers perform a vital role on the health care team. Each year, more than 500 volunteers contribute over 60,000 hours of service to the medical center. Their selfless dedication of time and talent makes a significant contribution to the quality of care provided to patients and guests alike.
We welcome all volunteers age 14 and older and we ask for a minimum commitment of four hours per week for one year. In addition, we offer a special 32-hour service program for students.
Upon receipt of your application, we will be contacting you within five business days to set up your interview.
All volunteers are required to complete a health assessment form that will be given to you at the time of your interview. The employee health department will also administer a TB test; there will be no charge to the applicants.
After your interview, you will be invited to an orientation that acquaints you with the medical center's important policies and procedures. When this brief process is completed, you will be ready to begin volunteering at Christ Medical Center.
We look forward to meeting you. If you have any questions, please call us at 708.684.5248.
A Team EffortVolunteers play an important role in achieving Advocate Christ Medical Center's mission to provide quality, personalized health care with compassion and respect. When a volunteer delivers flowers or mail, visits with a patient, or offers a smile and kind word to a family member, he or she helps to brighten someone's day. That's important to our patients, and it's important to us.
Our volunteers come from a variety of backgrounds and include teen-agers, college students, business executives, homemakers and retirees. As a member of our health care team, volunteers enjoy a variety of benefits, such as learning new skills, making new friends and enjoying the personal fulfillment that comes from helping others.
In an effort to place volunteers in positions best-suited to their interests, abilities and experience, interviews are conducted to learn more about each individual's skills and talents. Once placed, volunteers are trained by staff in the assigned department.

Here is your open thread for All-Star weekend so as not to spam other threads. We don't have any plans for a regular metathread to use as an out of topic discussion forum since, after all, this is a sports site about the Houston Rockets and all, but the All-Star game is a big break in action and the Houston Rockets aren't competing right now. Some tweets and rumors for filler and y'all have fun now, ya hear?

Greg Knopping of Pats Pulpit was kind enough to answer us some questions three on the game tonight. Here are the results!
1. How angry are Patriots fans with Adrian Clayborn over the Tom Brady knee injury incident?
Well, as it turns out, not angry at all. The incident could end up qualifying as one of the most overblown bruises in sports history. But had it been serious, I don't think the Patriots fans would have been angry with Clayborn. If anything, it would have landed on the guy trying to block him -- Nate Solder.
2. Are there any under the radar players on the Patriots' roster we should keep an eye on?
3. How have former Buccaneers Aqib Talib and Legarrette Blount done with the Patriots so far?

Volleyball suffers loss at home against Meredith
October 07, 2009
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College volleyball team lost at home tonight in three sets (17-25, 21-25, 21-25) to Meredith College. Latricia Maye (Vestavia Hills, AL) had a strong night with 4 kills and 2 blocks. Salem falls to 5-13, while Meredith improves to 11-12 on the season.
The Spirits hung close in both the second and third sets, but the Avenging Angels were able to hold on to win both of those sets. Christine Tillman (King, NC) led the Spirits with 8 kills and 10 digs, and she also had 1 solo block and 4 assists. Sara Maher (Longmont, CO) had 21 set assists on the night to go along with 1 kill and 5 digs. Randi Roppolo (Weeki Wachee, FL) had the only service ace on the night for Salem, and she also had 10 digs.
Salem will return to action this weekend when they play three GSAC matches at Maryville against Huntingdon, LaGrange, and Maryville.

If your fantasy team is anything like mine, then you saw your fair share of ups and downs in week 3. In my case, I won out over my opponent and yet I feel that I did not crush my competition. Whether or not you did well last week, it's time to look to the future and prepare ourselves for war on the court in week 4. My attitude is all about squashing my opponent like a fly. To accomplish that goal, I need to plan. In doing so, I have to decipher who has the hot hand. I'll give you my positional picks that will guarantee you a win in week 4.
Jodie Meeks, LAL SG, PG – Meeks shall inherit the Earth; at least, he has certainly inherited the perimeter while Kobe Bryant remains out. The tear in Kobe's Achilles has spelled out fantasy gold for Meeks. He's drained 15 three-pointers in his last five games. Not to mention that he's shooting an exemplary 50 percent from behind the arc. He's a great fit for any fantasy team lacking in the 3PM department. Pick him up while he's still hot because everyone knows that there's neither an "I" nor a "Kobe" in "team."
Jordan Crawford, Bos SG, PG – The 23-year-old Celtics' guard has been an impressive underdog during his first three years in the league. He famously posterized LeBron James during a Nike pickup game; Crawford's dunk reportedly caused Nike to destroy all copies of the video. Watch it. At present, Crawford is truly coming into his own as a part of the rebuilding Celtics. He's scoring in the teens, coming up with dimes and shooting a great percentage from the stripe. Crawford is currently available in most leagues; he could be a great fit for any fantasy team carrying D-Rose or Kobe Bryant's dead weight.
Wilson Chandler, Den SF, SG – After returning to the Nuggets' lineup last Wednesday, Chandler has transformed himself into a dynamic talent. One of the most impressive facets of his game has been his shot from the three-point line. Apparently, Chandler now has a laser-guided missile cannon for an arm; he's sunk nine three-balls in three games since his return from his hamstring injury. His scoring is continuously rising, and I believe we could see his scoring reach the 20-point range in week 4.
John Henson, Mil PF – On a personal note, John Henson was a risky pickup for me in week 3 and he payed dividends. Henson is a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. If you missed the Bucks–Magic game on Nov. 13, then you missed one of the best sophomore performances of the year thus far. Henson savagely ravaged the Orlando Magic in a mere 27 minutes; he drove home 10 points, pulled down nine rebounds and cleanly blocked five shots. It seems that he may be an up-and-comer in the league. Henson is my pickup of the week because he definitely has the hot hand.
Jordan Hill, LAL C, PF – Hill had his best career game last night against the Detroit Pistons. He had a humongous double-double, tallying 24 points and 17 rebounds. As a fantasy GM, you should not take this breakout performance lightly. Bare in mind that Hill achieved this height against a very tough, very capable Pistons frontcourt. Hill took dominion over his home court's paint, daring the Pistons to try and take it from him. Ever since Hill left the Rockets, he has bled purple and gold. Seeing his career climb to this point has been greatly rewarding. Expect big things out of Hill in the weeks to come. My only warning is that the Lakers will only play two games in week 4. Consider Hill to be a long-term investment in fantasy leagues.
Robin Lopez, Por C – There has never been a lot of explosiveness to Lopez's game. He's stood in the shadow of his twin brother, Brook Lopez, for his entire playing career. However, just because a player isn't an unexpected standout, that doesn't mean that his abilities aren't solid. Lopez is averaging 7.9 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. I know what you're thinking and you're not completely wrong; in your mind, there is nothing special about Lopez. There is one thing: he plays consistently on a powerful Western Conference team. He has more advantages than most centers when it comes to distributing the ball (which he has a knack for). He will surprise you; however, the surprise will come at the right time, not every time. He posted three consecutive double-doubles last week and has a great chance to repeat that success. If you're hurting on the rebounds or points stat line, then give Lopez a shot this week.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks were just barely in the green Thursday after a pair of positive economic reports. The Dow Jones Industrial average clung to a gain and had a chance to extend its longest winning streak in a year.
Just before noon EDT, the Dow was up 10 points at 13,204. The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up four at 1,398. The Nasdaq composite index added 12 points to 3,053.
A higher close for the Dow would mark its seventh consecutive gain. The last longer streak was eight days in February 2011.
Investors applauded further signs of an improving economy.
The government said applications for unemployment benefits fell last week to 351,000, matching a four-year low. When applications stay below 375,000, it usually signals that hiring strong enough to lower the unemployment rate.
A separate report showed that prices paid by wholesalers rose less than expected in February, despite a spike in gasoline prices. The producer price index has increased 3.3 percent in the past year, the smallest gain since August 2010.
World markets were mixed, with a welcome slip in oil prices offset by worries about slowing growth in China.
The price of oil dropped almost $2 in a few minutes before noon, to just above $104 per barrel, after a report that the United States and Britain were considering releasing oil from emergency reserves.
In Asia, markets mostly fell after Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said curbs that have slowed a run-up in housing prices will remain in place, despite fears that the effort could contribute to the nation's economic slowdown.
The benchmark Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.7 percent. But Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed 0.2 percent higher, and Japan's Nikkei index rose 0.7 percent as the yen continued to decline from record highs against the U.S. dollar.
Markets in Europe were mixed. Britain's FTSE 100 index fell 0.2 percent, but France's CAC 40 index gained 0.1 percent, Germany's DAX index gained 0.6 percent.
Among the stocks making big moves on Thursday:
-- CSX Corp. jumped 6 percent, most than any stock in the Dow, after its chief financial officer said at a conference that the railroad expects the improving economy to drive record first-quarter earnings.
-- Cisco Systems Inc. slipped 1 percent after it announced a $5 billion deal to buy NDS Group Ltd. from News Corp. Shares of the owner of Fox News and The Wall Street Journal edged higher.
-- Sears Holdings Corp. shares gained 1 percent after the troubled department store chain said its top investor tried to ease vendors' concerns early this year by taking on some of the risk that they would face if Sears filed for bankruptcy.
-- Sundance Channel owner AMC Networks Inc. dropped 3 percent after the Cablevision spinoff said its fourth-quarter earnings fell short of analysts' estimates.

Pentax FF + tamron or sigma lenses = kid toys.
An opinion based on what?
Probably based on the same way that unreleased Nikons are praised - spec sheets
Pentax FF + tamron or sigma lenses = kid toys.
An opinion based on what?
Pentax FF + tamron or sigma lenses = kid toys.
Most reviews of the 5D MkIII I've seen are showing a 1-2 stop improvement in noise control, it's a matter of opinion as to whether that is a large improvement, but it's certainly significant. What is definitely a large improvement though, is AF and while it is only two fps faster, that also represents a 50% improvement, so again, some would argue a large increase, while others wouldn't. Again though, it is certainly signficant, as it will now have some uses as a sports/action camera, something you could never say about the MkII. While it still isn't fast enough for many sports applications, it does extend its usefulness. Then you have the significant improvements to weather sealing, which wasn't very good on the MkII.Or they simply pick whatever message Canon isn't pushing at that moment in time...
To be fair, most reviews warmly welcomed the updates on the 5d3 and mostly said it's a great all-around camera. But any review that takes relative price into account (vs. the 5d2 or the competition) might mention the price tag, just like many people in this forum.
But since the sensor is a major component of a digital camera, there's hardly any way to ignore the little improvement after so many years, even if you are very friendly towards Canon. DXO just emphasizes this by putting more weight into the sensor and giving a score to remember.
BTW Pentax is a smaller company than Canikon, it's hard for them to keep the pace in the R&D division.
BTW Pentax is a smaller company than Canikon, it's hard for them to keep the pace in the R&D division.
Herein lies the rub, in Japan, honor/ corporate ego have high stakes. How can Canon use a Sony Sensor? Well Mighty Sony, the king of TV manufacturers for decades, began a pragmatic approach and used Samsung Panels. If Canon cannot get the DR of Exmor, then it needs to license it from Sony... Drop the ego dribble and give your consumers something to cheer about.
What will be interesting will be if Sony and Pentax can still provide in body image stabilization with a FF sensor.
If everyone else is repackaging the same core then what's the competitive advantage?

Beale Street's Club 152, which was shut down May 15 after a drug raid, will remain closed until at least May 23 after a hearing in Shelby County Environmental Court was reset until Thursday.
The Shelby County District Attorney and the West Tennessee Drug Task Force shut down the popular Beale Street club after an investigation found rampid drugs and violence.
Club 152 has lost out on a week's worth of business, from last weekend's Memphis In May World Championship Barbeque Cooking Contest to local and out-of-town tourists.
Club 152 hearing continued until Tuesday
Beale St. Club 152 declared nuisance, closed
Club 152 raid fallout threatens Kevin Kane
The State of Tennessee wants the business to make necessary changes before
Both sides of the aisle met privately Tuesday to discuss the allegations. The defense says the club owners don't want drug deals going on, and they are, they want to help stop them.
Attorneys agreed to allow Club 152 owners access to the building for maintenance and employee meetings, which is standard procedure in these types of cases.
Defense attorney Ted Hansom said the club owners need some time to comb through the allegations.
"We just found out about those allegations so we're investigating that because the common ground is if those things did in fact go on, we want to address it, no question about it," Hansom said. "The question is how to do it when in the context of Beale, 152."
Prosecutor Paul Hagerman said Club 152's owners are being cooperative.

CHICAGO — Teams now may legally speak with agents during a three-day period prior to the start of free agency, the NFL announced Tuesday.
Team owners, in town for the league's Fall Meeting, amended the NFL's Anti-Tampering Policy so that clubs and certified agents may engage in negotiations with prospective free agents. No contracts may be signed until the start of free agency, which coincides with the beginning of the league year.
The move was adopted during the morning portion of the general session.
The reason for the three-day window is to prevent teams from illegal tampering, which club officials say has gone on in back channels for years. The hope is that the new communication period will curb any illegal discussions with agents of free agents-to-be.

NYT's Paul Krugman: U.S. Students 'Could Learn A Little Bit' From Violent Protests in UK, France
It's not quite leftist academic Frances Fox Piven calling for violent Greece-style riots in America. But in an interview with the University of Oklahoma's student newspaper (he was in town February 22 for a talk), Paul Krugman, respectedeconomist turned partisan liberal New York Times columnist, suggested American college students should pick up some tips from students in London and Paris about fighting public spending cuts.
The Daily: You mentioned how children and students suffer from cuts to public agencies. What advice would you give students to impact the political scene?
Krugman: "Well, you know, maybe we could learn a little bit from British students or French students who actually demonstrated against these cuts. What happens, we've got actually in America, the seniors are very noisy. Everybody knows you don't dare cut programs for the elderly, so let's cut programs for the youth. If we can change that, then we'd do a little better."
And what exactly would we learn from British and French students? Violent protest tactics, for one.
From a December 10, 2010 Times report during the riots in London that Krugman suggested American students emulate:
But violent student protests in central London, including an attack on a car carrying Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, to the theater, provided a stark measure of growing public resistance.
From an October 22, 2010 Times report from Paris headlined "French Leader Vows to Punish Violent Protesters."
Referring to several days of clashes between the police and protesters in Lyon, which continued on Thursday, Mr. Sarkozy said the 'troublemakers will not have the last word in a democracy, a republic.'"

A REAL interview...
Submitted by Slyrr on Mon, 02/28/2011 - 1:51pm.
If our media were responsible, this is what would have happened: The ferret-like Krugman would have said what he said, and then the guy sitting with him would say,
"Mr. Krugman! You say American youth could 'learn a lesson' from the protestors in the UK and France! But the protestors in the UK and France turned violent! Are you calling for Americans to resort to violence, is that what you want? You want violence and death and destruction, is that what you're saying Mr. Paul Krugman?'
Then Krugman would splutter and stammer and hem and haw and say 'No, no of course not - no one wants violence...'
"But Mr. Paul Krugman - you just said you WANT americans to do what the people in the UK and France did, and they did violence! You're calling for violence Mr. Krugman, how can you justify that?'
Then Krugman would say, "You're taking my statements out of context, you're not smart enough to understand how brilliant I am, you're secretly being paid by Fox News...'
'Mr. Krugman, are you now saying that you didn't mean what you just said when you called on Americans to use violence? Is this a confession that you are wrong, that you made a mistake??'

text: The San Francisco 49ers travel to the Georgia Dome on Sunday to face the Atlanta Falcons in the 2013 NFC Championship Game. In a season full of twists and turns -- namely the development at quarterback with Alex Smith and Colin Kaepernick -- the 49ers ultimately find themselves knocking on the door of the Super Bowl for the second consecutive year. Before San Francisco faces off with the Falcons on Sunday, David Fucillo looks at five plays from the 2012 season that have defined this 49ers team and season.

The New York Jets 2011 season didn't go as planned after the team missed the playoffs and saw the locker room seemingly implode throughout the course of the year. Another potential distraction will come from linebacker Bart Scott. According to the NY Daily News, the Jets have given Scott permission to seek a trade.
His contract -- six years, $48 million -- was signed back in 2009 and includes a reported $4.2 million guaranteed base salary this year. It's hard to see the Jets cutting him with that kind of money on the line. And it's also hard to see anyone trading for him with that contract.
Scott was one of the first high profile free agents Rex Ryan signed after taking the Jets job in 2009. Scott originally came into the league as an undrafted free agent in 2002 before breaking in as a regular contributor to the Baltimore Ravens defense.

Re: Gibson Model D
Farmdreamer, Those were built in my hometown Longmont. I have an unrestored one that I haven't gotten to yet. The Wisconsin AEH is the correct engine, however, Gibson was notorious for using whatever he could get his hands on, ie. transmissions, rearends, etc. So I'm not certain if yours is a replacement or not. Most of the early ones came with tiller steering ( a lever that you pushed forward to turn one way and pulled back on to turn the other). I am guessing that the steering wheel is a modification. The serial numbers were usually stamped on the top of the "C" channel on the right side below the engine. That is kind of a moot point, because records were burned and I don't think there is a database that will tell you what year you have. Hope you enjoy it.

Re: Gibson Model D
I agree with Bob on both the engine and steering. I've seen only one with a steering wheel and it was clearly a modification. Does yours have the 22" rear wheels? 24" wheels would have been the same rim & center as used on the Cub. Your centers look different. If yours are 22"s, I hope you don't need tires.

Very neat little tractors, as are alot of them back then. Good luck with yours, it looks a good one!

@Naty, go ahead and do a kitchen remodeling! Change what you don't like. Pick different color for your tiles and paint the kitchen cabinets. Bring a personal note to that room. Now, the home is yours to keep, so you can redo everything you want. That house must be your home.
Mar 28, 2013, 12:44 PM
don't rush into the job, take a little time to look over what interests you, and do it over in your favorite colors and textures. in the meantime, telegraph what's going on since they visit by putting some magazine clippings on the cupboards, and some color chip cards here and there.
we left our dingy dark kitchen as it was for almost a year when we bought our place, because we wanted to be sure what we were thinking was the right move. wanted to take on the most important remodel first. it worked out well, and now in 7 years, we've redone the whole place for us.

The house is now yours, and that includes the kitchen - as us women often spend many hours in the kitchen, you have 100% artistic license to do what you want with it. Check your budget, family situation (kids, animals etc) as these 2 things can influence your choice...and get searching!

Had to pay for the tix, but they did a nice job with upgrading us . Given the chance to do it again, I'd rent a 17-55 2.8, I think the extra stop would have put my shutter up little closer to where it needed to be (>1/300). A lot of the images are softer than they appeared in the camera. I'll get a sample or two up when I get to my computer later.
That's a pretty awesome deal, plus the clip show is much better than the lake show right now.
One thing I would say is that often times opening up that extra stop is at the expense of dof and some of your soft images could have been from mis focus especially with a Rebel even at f4. Too bad you can go back tonight and play around again

Culture Shock
In Dale Dunn's new play, Body Burden, a middle-aged woman recovering from thyroid cancer returns to her hometown of Los Alamos to confront her past. Set against the backdrop of the development of the atomic bomb, the play features six characters, including the ghost of Robert Oppenheimer and a time-traveling girl scout.
Gallery Review
Fading Bloom
1x20 at the Downtown Contemporary Art Center
The theme of the show, 20 photographers using the same model, is not so much a curatorial endeavor as it is an assignment. Like Fish Story, on view last month at Exhibit 208, the works have a superficial connection through their subject matter, though I got the sense that the fish show was comprised of artists who had already been considering fish as their subjects before being asked to exhibit their work. In the case of 1x20, the work was clearly crafted for the show—a gimmick that provides little context in which the works can cohere.

Phoenix Coyotes forward Raffi Torres has been suspended indefinitely pending an NHL hearing on Friday for his vicious hit on Chicago Blackhawks forward Marian Hossa during Tuesday night's Western Conference Quarterfinal Game 3. Torres will travel to the NHL's office in Manhattan for the in-person hearing, which was originally scheduled for Wednesday but delayed at the request of the NHL Players Association.
The timing of Friday's hearing means Torres will certainly miss Thursday's Game 4 at United Center, but it's likely he misses more. When holding in-person hearings -- as opposed to the over-the-phone variety -- the NHL reserves the right to suspend a player for five games or more, which is certainly possible in this instance. Torres can waive the right to an in-person hearing, but given the NHLPA's delay, it seems as though he'll be making the trip to meet with Brendan Shanahan and the Department of Player Safety.
Video: Raffi Torres' hit on Marian Hossa
Hossa was hospitalized following the hit, which occurred during the first period. It was a late hit in which Torres targeted Hossa's head while leaving his feet -- the illegal trifecta, one might say.

At Folsom Prison is a live album and 27th overall album by Johnny Cash, released on Columbia Records in May 1968. Since his 1955 song "Folsom Prison Blues", Cash had been interested in performing at a prison. His idea was put on hold until 1967, when personnel changes at Columbia Records put Bob Johnston in charge of producing Cash's material. Cash had recently controlled his drug abuse problems, and was looking to turn his career around after several years of limited commercial success. Backed with June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom State Prison in California on January 13, 1968. The resulting album consisted of fifteen tracks from the first show and two tracks from the second.
Despite little initial investment by Columbia, the album was a hit in the United States, reaching number one on the country charts and the top 15 of the national album chart. The lead single from the album, a live version of "Folsom Prison Blues", was a top 40 hit, Cash's first since 1964's "Understand Your Man". At Folsom Prison received good reviews upon its release and the ensuing popularity revitalized Cash's career, leading to the release of a second prison album, At San Quentin. The album was re-released with additional tracks in 1999 and as a three-disc set in 2008. It was certified three times Platinum on March 27, 2003 by the Recording Industry Association of America for US sales exceeding three million.
Johnny Cash first took interest in Folsom State Prison while serving in the United States Air Force Security Service. In 1953, his unit watched Crane Wilbur's film Inside the Walls of Folsom Prison. The movie inspired Cash to write a song that reflected his perception of prison life.[1] The result was "Folsom Prison Blues", Cash's second single on Sun Records. After its release, the song became popular among inmates, who would sometimes write to Cash, requesting him to perform at their prisons.[2] Cash's first prison performance was at Huntsville State Prison in 1957.[3] Satisfied by the favorable reception of the concert, he performed at several other prisons in the years leading up to the Folsom performance in 1968.[3]
A few years after attaining commercial success from songs such as "I Walk the Line", "Understand Your Man", and "Ring of Fire", Cash's popularity waned. This was due in no small part to his increasing dependence on drugs.[4] In 1967, Cash sought help for his escalating drug problems; by the end of the year, his drug use decreased and he sought to turn his career around.[5] Concurrently, the country portion of Columbia Records underwent major personnel changes. Frank Jones and Don Law, who had produced several of Cash's albums, were ousted in favor of Bob Johnston, who was known for his erratic behavior and willingness to disagree with studio executives.[6] Cash saw this as an opportunity to pitch his idea of recording a live album at a prison; Johnston enthusiastically supported the concept.[7] Johnston called San Quentin State Prison and Folsom, and Folsom was the first to respond.[8]
On January 10, 1968, Cash and June Carter checked into the El Rancho Motel in Sacramento, California. They were later accompanied by the Tennessee Three, Carl Perkins, The Statler Brothers, Johnny's father Ray Cash and producer Johnston. The performers rehearsed for two days, an uncommon occurrence for them, sometimes with two or more songs being rehearsed concurrently by various combinations of the musicians.[9] A fashion show taking place in an adjacent ballroom provided an unneeded distraction, and during the rehearsal sessions on January 12, California governor Ronald Reagan, who was at the hotel for an after-dinner speech, visited the band and offered his encouragement.[10] One of the foci of the sessions was to learn "Greystone Chapel", a song written by inmate Glen Sherley. Sherley recorded a version of the song, which he passed on to Rev. Floyd Gressett, a Ventura, CA pastor who regularly visited inmates at Folsom, via the prison's recreation director.[11][12] On January 13, the group traveled to Folsom, meeting up with Los Angeles Times writer Robert Hilburn and Columbia photographer Jim Marshall, who were paid to document the album for the liner notes.[13]
Cash decided to hold two performances on January 13, one at 9:40 AM and one at 12:40 PM, in case the first performance was unsatisfactory.[14] After an introduction by MC Hugh Cherry, who encouraged the prisoners to "respond" to Cash's performance, Carl Perkins took the stage.[15] Perkins performed his hit song "Blue Suede Shoes". Following this song, The Statler Brothers sang their hit "Flowers on the Wall" and the country standard "This Old House".[16] Cherry again took the stage and instructed the inmates not to cheer for Cash until he introduced himself; they obliged.[2] Cash opened both shows with a rendition of "Folsom Prison Blues" and the concerts contained many songs about prison, including "The Wall", "Green, Green Grass of Home", and the gallows humor tune "25 Minutes to Go". The singer also included other songs of despair, such as the Merle Travis song "Dark as a Dungeon". Following "Orange Blossom Special", Cash included a few "slow, ballad-type songs", including "Send a Picture of Mother" and "The Long Black Veil", and then followed with three novelty songs from his album Everybody Loves A Nut, "Dirty Old Egg-Sucking Dog", "Flushed from the Bathroom of Your Heart", and "Joe Bean".[17] June Carter joined Cash on stage to perform a pair of duets. After a seven-minute version of a song from his "Blood, Sweat and Tears" album, "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer", Cash took a break and Carter recited a poem.[17] Cash ended both concerts with Sherley's "Greystone Chapel". The second concert was not as fruitful as the first; the musicians were fatigued from the earlier show.[18] Only two songs from the second concert, "Give My Love to Rose" and "I Got Stripes," made it onto the LP release.

The album release of At Folsom Prison was prepared in four months. Despite the recent success of "Rosanna's Going Wild", a Cash single released just before the Folsom concerts that reached number two on the country charts, Columbia initially invested little in the album or its single "Folsom Prison Blues". This was due partially to Columbia's efforts to promote pop stars instead of country artists.[19][20] Nevertheless, the single charted on the Billboard Hot 100 on May 25, 1968; it also hit the country charts a week later.[21][22] The single suffered a setback, however, when Sirhan Sirhan assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy on June 5, 1968. Radio stations ceased playing the single due to the macabre line: "I shot a man in Reno/Just to watch him die". Reeling in the success prior to the assassination, Columbia demanded that Johnston remix the single with the line removed. Despite protests from Cash, the single was edited and re-released. The new version became a success, hitting number one on the country charts and the top forty on the national charts.[23] The successful single prompted the album to climb the album charts, eventually reaching number one on the Top Country Albums chart and number thirteen on the Pop Albums chart—the forerunner to the Billboard 200.[24] By August 1968, Folsom had shipped over 300,000 copies; two months later it was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipping over 500,000.[25][26]
At Folsom Prison received rave reviews upon its release. Al Aronowitz of Life stated that Cash sang the songs like "someone who has grown up believing he is one of the people that these songs are about."[27] For The Village Voice, Ann Fisher wrote that "every cut is special in its own way" and Richard Goldstein noted that the album was "filled with the kind of emotionalism you seldom find in rock."[28][29] Fredrick E. Danker of Sing Out! praised At Folsom Prison as "an album structured an aural experience for us."[30]
The success of At Folsom Prison revitalized Cash's career; according to Cash, "that's where things really got started for me again".[4] Sun Records re-dubbed Cash's previous B-side "Get Rhythm" with applause similar to Folsom's, and it became successful enough to enter the Hot 100.[31] Cash returned to the prison scene in 1969 when he recorded At San Quentin at San Quentin State Prison. At San Quentin became Cash's first album to hit number one on the Pop chart and produced the number two hit "A Boy Named Sue". The ensuing popularity from the Folsom concert also prompted ABC to give Cash his own television show.[32]
The album was re-released on October 19, 1999 with three extra tracks excluded from the original LP: "Busted", "Joe Bean", and "The Legend of John Henry's Hammer". Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic praised the new version, calling it "the ideal blend of mythmaking and gritty reality."[33] On May 27, 2003, At Folsom Prison was certified triple platinum by the RIAA for shipping over three million units.[26] Since its release, it has been acknowledged as one of the greatest albums of all time by several sources. In 2003, the album was ranked number 88 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. Also that year, it was one of 50 recordings chosen by the Library of Congress to be added to the National Recording Registry.[34] Country Music Television named it the third greatest album in country music in 2006.[35] Blender listed the album as the 63rd greatest American album of all time and as one of the "500 CDs You Must Own".[36][37] In 2006, Time listed it among the 100 greatest albums of all time.[38]
In 2008, Columbia and Legacy Records re-issued At Folsom Prison as a two CD, one DVD set. This so-called "Legacy Edition" contained both concerts uncut and remastered. The included DVD, produced by Bestor Cram and Michael Streissguth of Northern Light Productions, featured pictures and interviews relevant to the concert. Pitchfork Media lauded the collection, claiming that it had "the force of empathic endeavors, as if he were doing penance for his notorious bad habits."[39] Christian Hoard wrote for Rolling Stone that the Legacy edition "makes for an excellent historical document, highlighting Cash's rapport with prison folk."[40]
