The Bottom Line
- Solid collaboration
- None
- Big Boi's new single from Sir Luscious Left Foot
- "Royal Flush" features Andre 3000 and Raekwon
- Sir Luscious Left Foot is Big Boi's first solo album
Guide Review - Big Boi - "Royal Flush" (Featuring Andre 3000 and Raekwon)
One of the best attributes of Andre 3000 and Big Boi is their willingness to reinvent the OutKast sound with every new step along the way. Big Boi carries on that tradition on "Royal Flush," the first single from his solo album Sir Luscious Left Foot.
Interestingly enough, it's Dre who registers the longest verse on the song. No one's complaining though. How could we, when he's cranking out intoxicating rhymes like, "Crack and I have a lot in coming. We both come up in the 80s and we keep that bass pumping."
Big Boi and Raekwon also post some poignant lines of their own, but Dre's verse will stick to your memory even after "Royal Rush" has pumped out its last bass. Then you hit the repeat button. This isn't simply OutKast music, it's that crack music.

Tulane safety Devon Walker received CPR on the field during the Green Wave's game against Tulsa on Saturday afternoon after sustaining an apparent head and/or neck injury just before halftime. Walker was attempting to make a play on a Tulsa player, but inadvertently collided with his own teammate instead. He at one point stopped breathing, but it was confirmed that he was both breathing and responsive by the time he was loaded into the ambulance.
Walker, a former walk-on senior from New Orleans, La., appeared in 30 games for the Green Wave in his first three seasons, providing depth in the secondary and playing on special teams. He totaled 47 tackles, four pass breakups and one forced fumble entering the 2012 season.
Walker impressed the coaching staff this summer by attending the team's 6:00 a.m. workouts before summer school classes, they told John Reid of The Times Picayune. Walker paid for the summer school classes out of his own pocket.
"He wasn't getting his summer school paid for, but he would show up with the rest of the team and do the summer conditioning even though the scholarship athletes were getting their room and board paid,'' Tulane secondary coach Jason Rollins said.
The coaches rewarded Walker's hard work and contributions to the team by giving him a scholarship for his senior season, just the third walk-on scholarship Tulane coach Bob Toledo has handed out in his four years as Green Wave coach, he told The Times Picayune.
"I think it's great, I always try to do it at the first meeting (before preseason camp), and the kids get all excited when they know a guy deserves it,'' Toledo said. "It proves to these other freshmen or walk-ons that if they work hard, they may have a chance down the road to earn a scholarship and maybe we'll get more walk-ons.''
Walker spent the summer in a competition for the starting safety job with Shakiel Smith. The coaching staff was considering him because of his knack for recognizing formations quickly, according to Rollins within the same Times Picayune article.
Walker started the first game of the season and totaled nine tackles, including seven unassisted and one tackle for loss.

Snee is out against Buffalo due to a concussion.||||||| Snee suffered the injury in a 36-25 loss to Seattle. The Giants' running game has been abysmal, and Snee's absence should further weaken what was once a major strength of the team. Snee had a streak of 101 consecutive starts snapped.
Snee will miss the New York Giants' preseason opener against the New York Jets.||||||| Snee, the right guard who has played in consecutive Pro Bowls, has been bothered by swelling in his leg.
Snee and tackle David Diehl of the New York Giants have been added to the NFC Pro Bowl team.||||||| The Giants announced Monday that Snee and Diehl will replace Jahari Evans and Jonathan Stinchcomb of New Orleans, who will not play in the game because the Saints advanced to the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants guaranteed that their offensive line will stay together for the foreseeable future, signing Snee on Wednesday to a six-year, $43.5 million contract extension.||||||| A former second-round draft pick, Snee has started all 59 regular-season and six postseason games that he has played for the Giants. The former Boston College product has started 48 consecutive regular-season games. He missed the final five games of his rookie season because of an inflamed gland under his jaw.

'The negotiation was long and difficult,' says Farah of creating Marta's LA story
Marta participates in the ceremonial kickoff at the Jogo das Estrelas, a match in Maceió for Alagoan all-stars. Aloisio (right), who plays for Al-Rayyan in Qatar, remains noncommittal about renaming the state stadium in Marta's honor: "Marta is a source of pride for Alagoas," he says.
Farah (right) receives a draft contract from Los Angeles Sol, reportedly $500,000 per season for three years: "The negotiation was long and difficult given the importance of Marta for the WPS as their principal signing. … It is an extensive contract and is about 40 pages long," Farah tells globoesporte.com. Sol GM Charlie Naimo tells the New York Times: "I will say that that's a lot of money to be throwing around and that a figure of $500,000 a year is ridiculous."

In light of a Los Angeles report that in 2010 the city had its lowest homicide rate in 40 years, the Christian Science Monitor explored how several major cities in the United States are announcing a significant progress against crime across the board. Professor Lisa Smith spoke to the magazine: "It is instructive to look at the individual precincts and compare their year-to-year homicides. How many of those homicides involved strangers and how many are interpersonal disputes? How many homicides are solved versus unsolved?"
A precedent-setting case is unfolding where an Ohio man is accused of trying to force his girlfriend at gunpoint to have an abortion. While he will likely be charged with attempted murder of his girlfriend, legal experts are asking, will he also be charged with attempted murder of her unborn child? Professor Lisa Smith spoke to the AP on the case, saying, "It would be highly unlikely that anyone could reasonably think there would be a completed act here, as he would have had to convince someone at the clinic to then complete the abortion."
Professor Lisa Smith, an expert in domestic violence and criminal law, spoke to The Chief Leader on the case of Sean Bell, a 23-year-old man who was wrongfully shot and killed by NYPD officers the day before his wedding in 2006. Last week, the city decided to settle the civil case, awarding Bell's family $7.15 million, instead of bringing the police officers to trial. Professor Smith explained why the city chose to settle, even though the defendants were acquitted in criminal court. "The standard for conviction in a criminal case is guilty beyond reasonable doubt," she told The Chief Leader, "while in civil cases it is the preponderance of evidence, a much, much, much lower standard."

Reviews for Dark Chocolate Orange Truffles
Sort By :
Very good and very easy to put together
I have never made truffles before It was super easy for me to make them.. I never thought it to be that easy now i want to make this and dark chocolate mint truffles These candy's last a long time in the sealed container in the refrig. ( about 6 Months) I am a nut for making Peanut butter chocolate layer fudge and now truffles.. Its my weakness.. lol
These are decadent. People love them, and can't believe how easy they are to make. I sometimes use a sugar/cocoa blend to roll them in, which makes them a little less sweet.
The flavor was very good. But upon removing them from the fridge, they were so hard we couldn't roll them into balls. We let them sit at room temperature and they were still very hard to roll, but we did manage it. Next time I will roll into balls and then chill.
they were really good! I didn't have any orange extract so I used a little orange juice, I can't taste it very much but I love the flavour of the dark chocolate so I don't mind. loved them!!! though my batch only made a dozen....

SUNDAY, JAN. 6, 2008-- Sometimes less is more. How words are used is more important than the almighty word count.
Words are important. How words "fit" with each other is more important. If there is a gallows for writers who write more than they should to make the point, I might be near the front of the line.
The publishers of the "The University of Tennessee Football Vault: The Story of the Tennessee Volunteers, 1891-2006" called this past October and asked for revisions in the book to make it palatable in second edition. That was the good news. They also proposed a very impressive payment for doing so.
The bad news was it had to be eight 3,000-word chapters, chapters that had previously ranged from 3,500 to 7,000 words. So the task was to cut, cut, cut. I did, and it's amazing how much could be cut without destroying the narrative. A bunch of new pictures and memorabilia added greatly to the final product.
We'll see how it looks in final form in a couple of weeks.
When Tennessee and Ole Miss squared off Nov. 15, 1969, in Jackson, Miss., Tennessee trailed 21-0 late in the first half when the Rebels lined up for a field goal to stretch the margin. The kick looked awful, but somehow hit the crossbar and bounced over.
As Sports Illustrated reported, in probably the shortest quote ever, Haywood Harris watched the spheroid tumble toward the goal post and when it somehow got though the upright, all he could say was "dang," not "gosh dang," but "dang." That one word summed up the whole day. It didn't need amplification, didn't need adjectives or anything else.
"Dang" said it all.
Then there was the day John Ward announced he was stepping down as lead announcer on the Vol Network. My assignment was to transcribe his remarks for release to the press. I had done that for other events, and it wasn't hard.
I watched and listened intently as Ward strode to the microphone and the room hushed.
"I have a statement, and I'm going to read it in its entirety," Ward said.
"It's time." With that he sat down.
I was preparing to go across the street from the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center and start assembling the release, when Harris leaned over and had this piece of advice.
"Make sure you get the quote right."
That was it.
That was vintage John Ward and vintage Haywood Harris.
Sometimes less is more. You'd be amazed.

Bill clarifies law on murder charge in North Carolina
Tuesday, April 30, 2013 7:12 PM EDT
Wednesday, June 19, 2013 2:09 PM EDT
By: Jon Evans -
A new bill clarifies when a murder charge can be filed in the death of a child
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - The General Assembly has finalized a bill making clear North Carolina authorities can charge someone with murder for the death of a child caused by injuries that occurred while in the womb but whose death occurred after delivery.
The House approved the measure unanimously Tuesday, a day after the Senate also agreed to the legislation, which now goes to Gov. Pat McCrory's desk.
The bill says the measure confirms common law that was challenged in part during the case of a man convicted of first-degree murder in the death of his daughter a month after her delivery in 2008. An appeals court upheld the man's conviction.
A 2011 law allows prosecutors to charge someone accused of causing a fetus to die or injuring it inside the womb.

Kit Russell's Flatland poster isn't just any old poster, oh no – it's a poster that can be turned into a sphere. Or a sphere that can be turned into a poster. Recent illustration graduate Kit has also created a poster that morphs into a square, and the pair are an imaginative interaction with Edwin A. Abbott's 1884 novel Flatland. Subtitled A Romance of Many Dimensions and written under the pseudonym "A Square", Abbott's tale is a social satire commenting on the hierarchy of Victorian society. The narrator – a square – lives in a two-dimensional world where he is visited by a sphere and convinced of the existence of another world, a three-dimensional world. Sadly, no-one else in Flatland will believe Spaceland exists and Square is ignobly dunked in the slammer. Lewis Carroll meets M.C. Escher and the Mr Men, if you will.
It's been almost two years since we officially checked in with Swiss poster maestro Felix Pfäffli – although of course we've been keeping an eye on a few of his side projects and collaborations with his brother Mathis. As ever he's kept up with the challenging task of delivering poster after glorious poster for Südpol's cultural events (every one's a bloody winner) but he's also branched out into educational activities in LA and started to experiment with moving type. His recent work for Wired shows his usual bold, graphic language translated into flowing organic forms, maintaining that trademark Feixen feel but through a dynamic moving medium.
An old soul such as myself appreciates when modern-day designers and illustrators go out of their way to make something look like it fell out of a cardboard box that hasn't been opened since 1972. When I first came across SEEN I was convinced it was a whole group of people, but it turns out it's just one really talented guy called Rob Carmichael. He alone is responsible for creating some of the best album artwork around at the moment.
I have heard it said that the New York graphic design scene is more splintered and less cohesive than its London counterpart, but the Image of The Studio initiative we covered last year was a fascinating way of bringing together more than 75 NYC studios to compare and contrast the way they each work. It also became a great resource to discover designers we didn't know that much about, and with each studio commissioned to create something original that reflected their philosophy and aesthetic, it provided a great way into the New York scene.
German design studio Hort prides itself on being an "unconventional working environment" and a "place where work and play can be said in the same sentence." In this video by Analog Mensch Digital, Hort's much-loved creator Eike Konig talks about their work and ethos whilst rolling paint and printing a poster. The camera wanders about the studio past leaning bikes and big white desks, scrolling up bookcases and dwelling on the Anthony Burrill posters gracing the walls. Eike is always worth listening to, whether he's musing on the differences between international and German clients, traditional and digital work and the morals of design. He says: "Visual language is a strong language. We have responsibility in the use of this power."
It seems that Jacob Klein and Nathan Cowen are incapable of turning out a dud project. From their humble beginnings as a meticulously curated stream of stunning imagery to their present guise as multi-faceted design and art direction agency, the Haw-Lin boys just keep on coming up with the goods. This might not seem surprising to devotees of their original Haw-Lin blog, but it's surprising how often arbiters of style lack substance. Not so for these boys; their fanatical eye for detail goes beyond simple aesthetic curation, extending into a portfolio of capsule collections for fashion brands, editorial shoots for the most erudite magazines and immaculate lookbooks that manage to add depth and pace to publications that can often be painfully bland.
I always think that creating the identity for a design conference is one of the most thankless commissions around – all those attendees ready, willing and able to offer informed and immediate feedback. So when we see it done well it only seems to right to give credit where it's due, and Build did a fine job for this year's TypeCon gathering.
In the introduction to his exceptional new Erik Spiekermann monograph, Johannes Erler sums up "Spiekermann in two sentences" by way of this quotation: "I'm totally chaotic. I'm so untogether, my left leg doesn't even know what my right leg is doing. I need order. I need systems. I don't really do anything without a design grid."
Their website is a combination of fluorescent colours, textures, media and effects so hectic that you can't help but surrender yourself to it, but it'd be foolish to assume The Royal Studio's design work is as chaotic as it appears. Behind the madness is a method which elevates their vibrant, contemporary design beyond the realms of trendy and into something actually very interesting, whether it's an Honest Manifesto which claims that "everyone loves titles and captions" but they "don't give a fuck about content" (repeated to fill) or a very well-executed poster advertising the studio's 15-day tour around cities including Zagreb, Ljubljana, Dijon and Porto. The fact remains that Portugal-based Royal Studio are taking conventional graphic design and turning it on its head to see what happens, and we're really enjoying admiring the results.
Of all the design disciplines, typography is almost certainly the least sexy. But Dan Rhatigan is one of the people who is able to talk about type in an engaging, and very human way. Earlier this year the Monotype type director worked with Grey London on Ryman Eco, described as "the world's most beautiful sustainable font," as it uses 33% less ink than the likes of Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia and Verdana.
Anyone you know a downright sourpuss? Treat 'em to a link to work by Hungarian designer Anna Kövecses. Here at It's Nice That we give high praise to work that is candy-coloured and cute – as long as it never falls under the tasselled umbrella of "twee." Anna's work is a perfect example of that as beneath the childish exterior lies a wealth of design knowledge and style.
In the year-and-a-half since we first featured Belgian designer Vincent Vrints on the site his fortunes have risen with the quality of his work. We were always enamoured with his canny ability to create aesthetically astounding imagery and merge it with equally appealing layouts, but he's refined his process and embraced some new digital techniques resulting in a portfolio that floats between the retro and the ultra futuristic.
Google Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums and almost every book cover design that appears either depicts someone hitchhiking or it has the aesthetic of a grotty travel diary of someone who's been "finding themselves" along a motorway for a month or two too long. Kerouac's novels don't even need covers, right? They're stand-alone pieces of literary genius. Big applause is needed then for Copenhagen designer Torsten Lindsø Andersen who has taken the rulebook of second-rate Kerouac book design and thrown it out the train window on to the track where it belongs. These ambient, sterile designs he's proposed for the author's back catalogue are the perfect fit to the words within: weird, unpredictable, drunk and unique.

New York Giants defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul was hurt on Sunday against the Oakland Raiders and left the game with a shoulder injury. Pierre-Paul went down with 3:44 left in the first quarter when he dove to make a tackle on running back Rashad Jennings and came down hard on his left shoulder. He walked on his own power into the locker room. His return is questionable.
Pierre-Paul had offseason back surgery but has not missed a regular season game in his career. He did note earlier this season that he was not at 100-percent and likely would not be there until next year. At this time it appears his current ailment is to another area.
After recording 16.5 sacks in 2011, Pierre-Paul has just 7.5 sacks in his last 24 games dating back to the start of the 2012 season. He has only one sack in 2013.
UPDATE: Pierre-Paul has returned to the game in the second quarter

Our Science – Rubin Website
Jeffrey S. Rubin, M.D., Ph.D.
Initial studies: KGF and HGF
From 1986-1996 my research primarily dealt with the purification and biological activities of two heparin-binding mitogens, keratinocyte growth factor (KGF, also known as FGF-7) and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). These proteins are mediators of mesenchymal-epithelial communication; they stimulate cell migration, differentiation, proliferation and tissue morphogenesis. Through collaborative projects, we explored the role of these factors in development, tissue repair, reproductive tract biology and neoplasia. Investigation by many laboratories demonstrated remarkable cytoprotective effects of KGF that contribute to the maintenance of epithelial barrier function. Palifermin, a recombinant modified version of KGF, was shown in a series of clinical trials to decrease the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis in patients receiving intensive cancer treatment prior to peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies. Based on this study, in 2004 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved palifermin for use in this setting. Additional trials have been conducted to test its ability to decrease the incidence and duration of severe oral mucositis in patients with solid tumors. Other groups have been exploring its potential to facilitate immune reconstitution following peripheral blood progenitor cell transplantation.
Wnt Signaling and Secreted Frizzled-Related Protein
My group has been working in the Wnt field for the past 15 years since we purified secreted Frizzled-related protein 1 (sFRP1) and identified it as a Wnt antagonist. Subsequently, we showed that it bound directly to Wnt protein and had biphasic effects on Wnt signaling. For the past few years the primary goal of sFRP research has been the identification of factors responsible for its potentiation vs. inhibition of Wnt3a/β-catenin signaling. Cell context is a major factor: biphasic activity was observed in HEK293 cells (potentiation at 1-10 nM sFRP1, inhibition at 100-300 nM), potentiation was predominant in C57MG mammary epithelial cells, while only inhibition was evident in L929 fibroblasts. Receptor expression is another key factor as ectopic expression of Fzd5, but not Fzd2, in L929 cells enabled sFRP1 to enhance Wnt3a activity in the β-catenin pathway.
The R-spondins comprise another family of secreted proteins that regulate Wnt signaling. Recently we reported that R-spondin2 enhanced the up- and down-regulation of Wnt3a target genes in C57MG mouse mammary epithelial cells. Several novel target genes were identified and validated by quantitative PCR. Whereas increases in gene expression were dependent on β-catenin, Wnt3a and Rspo2 rapidly down-regulated a subset of genes by a process that was blocked by the β-catenin pathway antagonist Dickkopf 1, but not by β-catenin siRNA knockdown, implying that a new β-catenin-independent mechanism may be responsible for this regulation.
Casein Kinase 1 Delta
During the last 5 years we have become interested in the dramatic changes in cell shape induced by Wnts. We developed an Ewing sarcoma family of tumor (ESFT) cell model to study the mechanisms of Wnt3a-dependent neurite outgrowth, and demonstrated that neurite extension was mediated by the Wnt receptor Frizzled 3 (Fzd3), Dishevelled 2 and 3 (Dvl2/3) and c-Jun amino-terminal kinase. Neurite outgrowth correlated with Dvl phosphorylation, which was attributed to the activity of casein kinase 1 delta (CK1δ) and epsilon (CK1ε). Knockdown of CK1δ, but not CK1ε, inhibited Wnt3a-dependent neurite outgrowth. Their contrasting activities were associated with differences in their intracellular distribution: CK1δ preferentially localized to the centrosome, an organelle involved in neurite formation. We mapped the centrosomal localization signal to a portion of the C-terminal domain and established that the centrosomal localization of CK1δ was critical for Wnt3a-dependent neurite extension.
Using ciliogenesis as a prime example, we have tested the hypothesis that CK1δ is required for other cellular processes that depend on the centrosome. Results from several models have confirmed this idea. Mechanistic analysis suggests that CK1δ affects ciliogenesis in many ways, both in the centrosomal/ pericentrosomal area and the Golgi. Our results indicate that CK1δ regulates ciliary transport, and the intracellular distribution of other proteins known to participate in ciliogenesis. Our research objectives now focus on defining the function of CK1δ in ciliogenesis, with an emphasis on mechanisms that involve MT nucleation and vesicle trafficking.

School Choice Design Challenge
Each year in New York City nearly 80,000 eighth-grade students apply to high school, choosing from more than 700 program options. This Fall, iNYCS led six startups through the first School Choice Design Challenge (SCDC) to create prototypes of new tools for the school choice experience.
Through participatory design research, panels, and user feedback sessions with students and families, SCDC startups deepened their understanding of the challenge, validated their ideas, and iterated their products to enhance the high school choice experience.
This Fall, iNYCS held a School Choice Design Challenge (SCDC) with selected startups to create prototypes of new tools for the high school choice experience. Like a Challenge or Hackathon, this process explored the crowd–sourcing of ideas and solutions from diverse non–traditional sources in order to expand the range of supports available to stakeholders.
The SCDC represents the convergence of the following innovative strategies:
A user–centered design based on ethnographic research and authentic stakeholder input;
A commitment to the enhancement of user experience as well as to outcomes;
The crowd–sourcing of solutions;
The development of a problem–solving methodology that can be applied to any area;
A commitment to open and accessible data in modern formats.
Learn more about the project phases below.
Problem Definition. As with the Gap App Challenge and Music Education Hackathon processes, the SCDC began with a user-centered design process. This time we engaged the Public Policy Lab (PPL) for structured discovery sessions with parents, students, guidance counselors, and staff from the central Office of Student Enrollment. The learning from these sessions was then distilled into a series of design prompts that informed the developers' SCDC work, as well as potential future projects undertaken by OSE. In a user–centered design framework, these prompts are intended not as formal analyses or as official positions but rather as provocations and points of departure for the initial phase of development.
Process. The design challenge consisted of a two–month engagement with six teams selected through an informal application process based on the quality of their past work and the degree of innovation and usability detailed in their proposal. We reached out directly to companies already working in school selection, comparison-shopping, and data visualization, as well as issued an open call to our community of developers. Selected teams were given stipends, awarded at the end of two months to those who fulfilled their commitment to develop something useful and different from their pre–existing offering.
These are not official DOE apps, just as the Gap App or Spotify applications were not. Participants retain all IP in their work and were free to develop the features and user experience they deemed best.
Resources. We provided API access to the full OSE school profile dataset, equivalent data from the Charter School Resource Center, and other public DOE datasets (these datasets will be announced as public resources at the conclusion of the SCDC).
OSE staff served as advisors and business process resources, and PPL supported the design briefs. iZone staff facilitated the engagement of developers with end–users for product validation and testing purposes.
Timeline. The SCDC launched on September 17 and will conclude November 12 with a public demo night. We offered four in–person sessions for the developers to deepen their understanding, iterate, and validate their ideas:
SCDC kickoff
High School Fair visit
Night of Inspiration panel, with speakers from various fields of information design
Alex Fiorillo, Vice President @ Ideas42
Annette Diefenthaler, Senior Design Research Specialist @ IDEO
Grant Tudor, Senior Strategic Planner @ Ogilvy & Mather

The Gap App Challenge
The NYCDOE's iZone issued a challenge for apps to help address gaps in middle school math skills. The majority of middle school students are at least one year behind in math, so giving all students in a class just what they need to get ahead can be challenging. The skills students acquire in middle school math are fundamental for other subjects, for their next years in school, and for their future.
We offered $100,000 in prizes and the chance to pilot in iZone schools.
We're proud to announce the winners of the Gap App Challenge
1st Prize for Instructional App KnowRe
2nd Prize for Instructional App Mathalicious
1st Prize for Admin App Hapara Teacher Dashboard for Google Apps
2nd Prize for Admin App LiveSchool
Honorable Mention Algebra Touch
Honorable Mention Chalkable
Honorable Mention Fluid Math
Honorable Mention Woot Math
Honorable Mention Fraction Planet

USC has been rumored to be one of the favorites to land possible Penn State transfer Silas Redd, but the Trojans may have committed a secondary violation while recruiting Redd.
The violation stems from comments USC quarterback Max Wittek made to the L.A. Times. Wittek has a relationship with Redd dating back to their Pop Warner Football days and while he is allowed to talk to Redd, he isn't allowed to comment on his recruitment publicly. Here were Wittek's comments:
"I told him I was sorry to hear about everything that came down and that it was obviously a difficult situation," Wittek told the paper. "But I tried to sell USC to him a little bit. I'd love to have him here.
"He said thanks for reaching out, that he was definitely interested and was just trying to take the right steps to decide what he was going to do."
USC sports media relations director Tim Tessalone was less than thrilled with the media outlets running the quotes.
"We are disappointed that any media outlet would ask a coach, student-athlete or staff member to comment about a prospect, and then use such a quote, when it is well known that NCAA rules preclude us from making such a comment,"
While the comments could result in a secondary violation, they are unlikely to draw any major punishment.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
The long awaited and highly anticipated debut from the newest "Supergroup" to surface this year, THE MOB has finally been unleashed! The Mob's self-titled debut will be remembered as one of the finest AOR recordings captured on tape! The Mob is, guitarist, REB BEACH (X- Winger/Whitesnake), lead vocals/bass, DOUG PINNICK (King's X), keyboards, TIMOTHY DURY (X- Eagles/Whitesnake) and drummer, KELLY KEAGY (Night Ranger).
What these seasoned rockers bring to the table is an AOR sound that is powerful, aggressive, passionate and is guaranteed to get your rocks off once you hit play! Right off the bat The Mob flex their rock and roll muscle with the guitar driven, "One Track Mind", Doug Pinnick's vocals are dead on perfect and are complimented well by Reb Beach's fiery and muscular guitar sound. Reb Beach, the mastermind who put this band together, deserves a big pat on the back! This release is for everyone who grew up in the late 80's and early 90's and want to relive the good old' days. I'm sure it will bring back some great memories for anyone growing up during that time. I know it did for me.
Other songs that are worth cranking to the maximum, "I Will Follow", "Never Get Enough", "The Magic", with Kelly Keagy handling lead vocals and "Turn To Stone".
It's great to hear how certain elements from the bands that they've been in (Winger, Night Ranger, Whitesnake, and King's X) are incorporated into this release, creating a hybrid form of melodic hard rock that is unique and fresh. Kudos go to Kip Winger for his amazing production, THANKS KIP! Truly capturing what melodic hard rock should sound like.
You can tell that these guys have been doing this for a while, the chemistry between the four of them is tight as white on rice. Usually on an album, you'll find 2-4 songs that really impress the listener, but with The Mob, all 11 songs ROCK! This CD contains more hooks than a tackle box! These guys are great musicians and song writers. Simply put, one of the best melodic rock albums to come out this year! A strong debut outing for a band that I have a feeling that is going to heard a lot more from in years to come. HANDS DOWN! THE MOB RULES!
- The Atomic Chaser
For some reason this CD hasn't been released in the U.S.. It should be, this CD really rocks, best music that come out in some time. in a different time "The Magic" would have been a huge radio hit.
Well It took some looking high and low. I finally got this CD. All I can say is this is an awesome line up. Why this is not in everymusic store in America is beyond me. Being an import does make it a bit of a challange to get. It's worth all the hassle.
Why are these guys so below the radar screen is beyond me. These are musicians thru and thru. If you like real rock n'roll these this is definately for you. In the days of supergroups this may one of the top 3 period.
This is definitely my favorite CD of 2005. Up until I got this disc a week and half ago, it was TNT's new CD "All The Way To The Sun", which is now 2nd favorite of 2005 (but still an awesome CD!).
What can I say about this CD? Look at who's on it! It really is a great blend of the best things about Winger, Night Ranger, and King's X. I've always been a casual King's X fan (I own the greatest hits and live CD), but I've always been a huge fan of Night Ranger and Winger. Doug (from King's X), however, brings a very cool edge to this CD with the vocals. I just can't stop listening to it! If you're into great melodic rock, and you like any of the bands mentioned above, you're in for a real treat with this CD. Rock on!

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
For Paul Rowland, "pretty" is not enough. Not that he has anything against a good-looking girl—Rowland is, after all, the founder of the modeling agencies Women and Supreme. Over the past 20 years he's helped launch the careers of models Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, Elle Macpherson, and Carmen Kass, to name a few familiar faces. So he sees "pretty" all the time, but it's the stuff going on behind those cheekbones that gets Rowland's heart racing—especially when he's taking pictures. Building on his work as Supreme's house photographer, Rowland has carved out a second career for himself behind the camera: As well as shooting Supreme's keepsake show packages each season, his work has been featured in V and EXIT, and in December Rowland mounted his first-ever solo show at Miami Art Basel. Titled Transformations, the show spotlighted his obsession with getting his subjects to tell a story before the lens. "Models can be very hard to photograph," Rowland notes. "Their job is to make clothes look good, and more often than not, all they can give the camera is a pose. My challenge is to coax a girl into giving something of herself." Tonight, Transformations takes up temporary residence in New York City, opening at the Women/Supreme space in west Chelsea. In advance of his debut before the hometown crowd, Rowland talked to Style.com about the art that goes into making faces.
I understand you moved to New York city to be a painter. How did you wind up one of the grand pooh-bahs of the modeling business, instead?
Oh, you know how these things happen—you move to the city to do one thing, and then you wind up waiting tables. I wasn't crazy about being a waiter, so when I got to know some fashion people and the fashion people told me I should model, I jumped. The modeling led to booking, and the booking led to my opening Women, and so on. There was never a grand plan. For a long time I just figured I was stashing money away so I could paint.
Both Women and Supreme have earned reputations as go-to agencies for girls with an unusual look. Was that happenstance, as well?
No, that much was purposeful. I'm not really interested in apple pie, all-American beauty. I appreciate it, but it doesn't compel me. Whereas I have this art background seared in my head, so when I look at a girl and there's that instant reference—like, she's got a Modigliani face—that's the beauty that takes me in. At the time I launched Women, unconventional beauty needed a champion. Now, I look around at who's working, and it's clear that I've managed to change our ideas about what's beautiful, at least a little bit. But you can always push the envelope. That's why I opened Supreme. We take some very edgy girls there.
When pictures of potential new models cross your desk, do the ones that could be stars jump out at you immediately?
Yes and no. You learn to spot potential. For one example, I remember seeing Polaroids of Kylie Bax—she was just this kid from Australia, 20 pounds overweight, with a bad perm. But you shape that, because you see something there. It's a gut instinct.
What led you to take up photography? Were you looking for a creative outlet?
I got into photography for entirely practical reasons. You sign a new girl, it's not like she's out working with Steven Meisel the next day. You have to help her build the book. I'd always have these ideas in mind, the image of a girl that I wanted to convey, but no matter how hard I tried to explain what I wanted, the test shots other photographers took always came back not so great. Some of them were pretty hideous, in fact. As far as I was concerned, I could do better myself—I mean, if you're a creative person, at some level you figure you have the ability to apply that creativity however you want. So I hired an assistant and started shooting. There was lots of stuff I did like that. I'd cut hair, too.
Many of the images in Transformations are taken from the Supreme show packages you shoot each season. Those show packages are always so ornate—they go way above and beyond the demands of, you know, here are a bunch of headshots.
I had this idea a little while ago—why not create this directional book twice a year that people would actually want to keep? I'd like them to be collectibles. I'm not sure we're quite there yet, but that's where my head is.
It's great marketing. Those show packages definitely make an impression.
People really get into them. And they're satisfying to work on, on a lot of levels. I mean, I get to work with my girls, which I always like to do, and they trust me, so I get a lot out of them. It was when I began sending out the show packages I'd shot that I began to feel
like I was on to something with photography—the feedback was generally great, and people started asking me to shoot other things, too. And the whole Transformations show at Basel came out of someone seeing a show package and being intrigued.
Do you have any particular favorite images in the show?
There are a set of four nudes, one of which we used as the photo on the invitation. EXIT magazine asked me shoot a nude series, which I'd never done before, and I was really pleased with how they came out. It's sort of an Arbus take on a nude. The lighting and everything is pretty classic, but there's just that something that's a little off. A little sinister. I like that. That's what tells a story.
Those shots are very revealing. I mean, not just in the physical sense, but also in that you got something quite weird and personal from the model.
That's what I'm always trying to capture—that weird, personal thing. And it's the hardest part of the job. You have to convince your subject to go on this trip with you. You have to make them understand that they're telling the story, too. The good models, they get that eventually. And the great ones, like Kate Moss for example, they get it instantly. They go somewhere off in their own heads. That's why some people make millions and millions of dollars, and some other people fade away. Trust me, it's got nothing to do with being cute.

Many Nascar fans across the country have their favorite drivers. It could be a driver's style, their car, or maybe even a little bit of attitude.
But one younger driver in particular is emerging as a hero for NASCAR's younger audience.
When you think of NASCAR -- you think of the veterans that dominate the track.
"We came into the store and we were looking for this big race car driver -- and here's this kid sitting over in the corner signing autographs," said Cindy Poole.
Needless to say -- Cindy Poole and her two boys were taken aback by now 15 year old Gray Gaulding.
"It was just really surprising to see him doing what he was doing,' said Poole
And Gray soon became a family favorite -- "You probably would expect a kid to drive a race car when he would be 14 or 15 years old," said David Poole, an avid fan of Gray.While his brother Michael -- admires Gray for what he "isn't"."He didn't act like a jerk like other race car drivers he was a good role model," said MichaelSo what does gray have to say about being one of NASCAR's youngest role models?"It's a cool feeling that people actually do look up to me and knowing that I'm only 15 -- just turned 15," said Gray.But he says he doesn't let it go to his head. "To sign a young kid's autograph because at one point I was at that stage where I was looking up to the Kevin Harvicks," said Gray"I think he's a great role model for kids -- especially at his age and he's doing what he's doing," said Cindy PooleAnd at that age it inspires younger generation.

Bats were again found at Fountain Inn Elementary School over the weekend, according to Greenville County Schools Spokesman Oby Lyles.
Lyles said that during the weekend it was discovered that several bats had entered the school. He said that Monday morning, a bat was found in a kindergarten classroom and evidence of a bat was found in another kindergarten classroom. He said students in those rooms were relocated.
Maintenance staff and pest control experts found cracks in the building and in a ventilation system that allowed the bats to enter, Lyles said. He said the cracks were sealed and traps were installed that allow bats to exit the building, but not return.
Officials closed the school for a few days earlier this year after bats were found in a classroom, music room and the gymnasium. None of the bats that were tested were rabid.

Review submitted: February 4, 2014 Date of arrival: August 18, 2013
Aloha!!! This review is long over due. we traveled 3 adults and one teen . This honestly was the best decision I have ever made. our first time renting a condo. WOW!!! so much better then a hotel. It had everything even more then an average home. it in a quiet beautiful gated community with an amazing ocean and island view. The house was very comfortable equipped with beach gear ,snorkeling gear for everyone, bikes , towels,laundry soap I mean even tons of games that we ended up playing on our night in. The garden is a piece of heaven . the owner really put alot into this place to make sure you want for nothing. We found an array of spices and cook ware to make our meals easy. when we come back we will stay here.Thank you so much for putting all the extra touches and making us feel like home.

Amazing stay at Villa by the Sea
Review submitted: July 11, 2013 Date of arrival: June 20, 2013
We stayed 11 days at Villa by the Sea. It was amazing, beautiful, and clean. The listing was better than described. It had all the necessary amenities including cooler and boogy boards. It was located within reach of the awesome Kona downtown. We loved the gated well kept private community. We went night snorkeling with the manta rays, swam with turtles at Hapuna and Kua beaches, and hung-out downtown at LULUs and Huggos on the water. We will definitely return to this rental. I would recommend this house to vacationers that want a place to relax . It is close to downtown, beautiful beaches, Safeway, and a farmers market. Thanks Shannon for being such a great remote host!

My stay at Villa by the sea
Review submitted: June 18, 2013 Date of arrival: June 14, 2013
When we arrived at our villa, it was just as described .
Very secluded gated community , great place , felt like it was my home away from home. Very tastefully decorated , came with everything we needed to have a great time, snorkel equipment , bicycles , beach towels , the works.
We enjoyed every minute of our stay here.
Shannon was very easy to deal with, and gave me a sweet deal on top of everything else. I would definitely recommend this to friends , and family , and will stay here again next year I am hoping :) I can't say enough about my stay here .

Stayed at the Villa by the sea with my fiance and her parents. It was an outstanding vacation rental in every way. The location is fantastic. It has it all: views, privacy, peace and quiet, a steady breeze, and it is very close to downtown attractions. Shannon and Neil have thought of everything. The house is extremely clean and modern. We did not see any bugs inside the house, which in the tropics, is pretty impressive and speaks to the high level to which this property is maintained. The rental included snorkel, tennis, and beach gear. There were also two bikes available. The dining room table (antique) broke while we were there and someone showed up within hours to fix it. Not that it mattered, because we ate every meal on the lenai, but the friendly and prompt service was appreciated. We are going back to Kona this year and I insisted on staying at one of Shannon and Neil's properties. Read the reviews...it really is that good!

Villa by the Sea
Review submitted: April 11, 2013 Date of arrival: March 8, 2013
Excellent house with a view in a quiet gated community. The best "stocked" house of the 5 we have rented on the Big Island from kitchen to bed and bath. There was plenty of snorkel equipment but we did bring our own mask and snorkel(s). The house has a good supply of beach needs such as towels, chairs, and mats. Quiet and relaxing rear patio and the front lani was great for morning coffee and viewing the harbor and open ocean. The owners are very responsive to questions and needs. I plan to stay next year if possible.

Villa By the Sea Malulani Gardens
Review submitted: March 17, 2013 Date of arrival: February 7, 2013
This was an exceptionally comfortable Vacation Home.We were 4 adults. Master bedroom had king bed and full ensuite. 2nd bedroom had Queen bed and was adjacent to the main bathroom. The views from the front porch / lanai were spectacular. As long as one has a rental vehicle it is accessible to everything in Kona. Close to the airport and suburban shopping / grocery stores( if one wishes to pick up items to make some meals) and tourist attractions on Alii Drive .
Downside: Although the back patio / lanai off the kitchen was beautiful, tranquil, and private, there was NO B.B.Q. and we would have liked to have had one to B.B.Q. for dinner. There was also no Private Pool or beach nearby, ( ie: in walking distance ). We did go to beaches but they were a fair distance away and we had to drive. We also did 2 day trips to Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. Left early in the a.m. and returned late at night. It was great to have the well equipped kitchen to make breakfast and snacks to take with us on our day trips, and something to eat when we got home late in the evening.
As electricity is expensive on The Big Island / Hawaii we had to arrange for A.C. and pay $10.00 / day for this prior to our arrival. It had not been turned on prior to our arrival as I had requested. Fortunately I was able to contact the owner by phone and she arranged to have it turned on. By the time we returned from our day trip the next day the house was comfortably cooled. (There are ceiling fans in the rooms, but I really need A.C.for a health issue.)
We enjoyed our stay here, and would recommend it to others as long as having a Beach and /or Pool at your doorstep is NOT a priority !
I strongly recommend that the owners get a B.B.Q.

Wonderful Villa
Review submitted: February 23, 2013 Date of arrival: February 14, 2013
We stayed in this two bedroom house with another couple and were delighted by the accomodations. There is a beautiful view of the sunset over the Pacific from the front lanai and the layout of the kitchen, dining room & living room are very open. The back lanai is quite private, a lovely place to grill and eat dinner outside. We greatly appreciated use of the snorkeling & boogie boarding gear. (We replaced a set of fins that we damaged). Thank you for the opportunity to stay here; we'd love to return.

The past 5 years we have come to Kona to vacation, this is the first time we rented a home.
It was the most relaxing time we had, we felt it was home away from home,even the neighbors welcomed us. Everything as seen in the pictures were exact, clean & beautiful.
We will be returning, thank you for your lovely home.

I may never stay in a hotel again!
Review submitted: June 13, 2012 Date of arrival: May 28, 2012
We stayed at "Villa by the Sea" for 8 days just last month. I chose this property due to its close proximity to downtown Kona thinking we could walk downtown. We ended up not ever doing that as we were always out exploring the island in our car so we just stopped downtown on our way back to the house. A fit person definitely could walk down there if they wanted although the walk back up the hill would be a good workout! Our son walked and biked downtown by himself nearly every day we were there.
The house was very comfortable, clean, is well-represented in the pictures and had everything we needed. The beach chairs, boogie boards and snorkel equipment are great features! We used the cooler every day as we packed our snacks and headed out to explore the island. The view from the front lanai is awesome as it is in the pictures and the neighborhood was very quiet and felt safe... we actually slept with the doors open and screens locked each night. I enjoyed walking through the neighborhood each morning with my Kona coffee. The street is quite steep in parts and it provides an easy way to exercise if you walk down to the gates and back up a couple times.
The owner was very responsive and apologetic to two extremely minor issues we had while we were there: 1) the bicycle tires were flat. So we bought a pump at Walmart and sent the owner the receipt. The reimbursement check was waiting for me when we arrived home! 2) A handle on a kitchen drawer came loose so we just left that drawer open and it's probably already been repaired.
Overall, I'm very glad I chose to stay here and would absolutely stay again and recommend it to anyone!

My family and I stayed for one week at this lovely property. It provided us with everything we needed during our stay. It was a pleasure to return to this peaceful home, after each day of exploring the Big Island. This was far preferable to staying in the crush of the tourist areas of Kona.
We will return!

Recent Climbing Shoe Reviews
Five Ten Stonelands Slipper
A great, comfortable, yet stiff slipper. Great for cracks and slabs! Not for overhangs. Back story: Well, my La Sportiva Barracudas finally bit the dust. I searched desperately for a new crack climbing shoe, namely, one with rubber over the toes. To my dismay, most shoes with rubber over the toes are aggressive and downturned, not ideal candidates for a crack climbing shoe. The decision came down to the Five Ten MocAssym (a favorite of many crack climbers) or the Five Ten Stonelands Slipper, a new… Full review
La Sportiva Women's Mythos
I absolutely love these climbing shoes! My biggest surprise with these shoes was how well I was able to smear on the wall with them. I have had difficulty finding a shoe that is better than these. I definitely recommend this shoe. It fits perfectly and just molds to your foot. It is very comfortable and doesn't take too long to break in. I can wear these shoes all day if I wanted to and they don't pinch my toes as bad as some shoes do. Although, I would love to find a climbing shoe that will give… Full review
La Sportiva Men's Miura
I'm a woman but have long, narrow feet, and find that the men's Miuras are great for me. The laces allow for me to cinch them up tightly enough for my narrow feet, and they fit them like a glove. I use these solely for gym climbing and they stick super well to plastic. They do take a while to break in and the toes are pretty pointy, though, so they get a little sore (but that's fine for gym, cragging, etc.). Fit: Fits the foot itself like a glove, but toes are a little cramped and can get sore/bruised. Full review
La Sportiva Women's Tarantulace
It is not amazingly comfortable, but it's a rock climbing shoe, so it's not supposed to be. It is great for indoor climbing at the gym. I bought these to go indoor climbing at the YMCA. They are much better than just using normal tennis shoes. I also used the shoes at the Y, but it's nice to have my own pair. I bought them from REI. I strongly recommend having an employee help you try them on because they will feel tight, but they are supposed to be tight, so they can create a platform with your… Full review
Tenaya Ra
This may have been one of the very best bouldering shoes I've had. It completely replaced my La Sportiva Muiras and comes in only second to the Oasi from Tenaya. This was my first shoe from Tenaya and it is great for bouldering. They now have the Oasi which is slightly more aggressive and featured, but this shoe had the same rigidity of the La Sportiva Muira and more comfort. I love these shoes more than anything! Full review
La Sportiva Men's Miura
These shoes are just great for sport-climbing, boulder and even trad climbing. I've used these guys overall and have no regrets. It's comfortable, sticky and efficient. Since a reliable edging on routes from a powerful heel job, this shoes, if fitted correctly, can be your number one shoes. I'd recommend for every kind of climb. Seriously. I felt that rubber stretched a lot, so I'd recommend down sizing. How much? Depends on your style and your use. I wear a 9.5 street size and bought the Miuras… Full review
Boreal Kintaro
Supper comfortable aggressive climbing shoe. Amazingly sticky rubber (these shoes literally stick together). The new V2 Rand system keeps an aggressive fit forcing the toe forward and keeping heels tight for heel hooking. After ten years of climbing and trying to find a shoe that performed at the highest level, while maintaining a comfortable fit, I have come full circle to the inventors of sticky rubber. The heel cup fits my narrow heel with no dead space. The forefoot knuckles the toes into a… Full review
La Sportiva Cliff
Good overall shoe. This was my first climbing shoe. I enjoy the lace-up style as it allows me to learn just how tight I need to make them for overall performance. I am a very novice climber but so far I don't have too many complaints about what La Sportiva has done with this shoe. The shoe fits my foot very well. I am new to climbing so I was looking for a decent all around type of shoe that I could do bouldering with as well as climbing. I am a fan of the lace-up style while learning how my foot… Full review
La Sportiva Men's Miura VS
Great shoe that is sure to help improve your climbing experience. I would never think of wearing any other climbing shoe for technical routes. Even though it's a matter of personal preference I'd suggest wearing them smaller than your regular climbing shoe to get the most out of the toeing and edging capabilities. They are somewhat narrow so people with wide feet might have problems finding a comfortable side, but they do stretch after a few days of use so take that into consideration when selecting… Full review
