I just wanted to share a little script I'm using in scrotwm to display moc status in the bar.
while :; do
STATE=`mocp --info | grep State | cut -d" " -f2`
if [[ $STATE = "STOP" ]];
echo "MOC Stopped"
ARTIST=`mocp --info | grep Artist`
TITLE=`mocp --info | grep SongTitle`
ALBUM=`mocp --info | grep Album`
CTIME=`mocp --info | grep CurrentTime | cut -d" " -f2`
TTIME=`mocp --info | grep TotalTime | cut -d" " -f2`
echo "$STATE:::$ARTIST:::$ALBUM:::$TITLE:::$CTIME/$TTIME"
sleep $SLEEP
It's quite simple, the output looks like this:
PLAY:::Artist: Bob Marley & the Wailers:::Album: Legend:::SongTitle: Jammin':::00:11/03:33
To have a correct output be sure that the mocp server is up when the script is running or add a condition to manage the case of a server down.

Nice one. Plus, another scrowtm junkie
The next version of #! should probably have scrotwm installed by default, so people can choose it from GDM.
Always loved tiling
Normally I prefer manual tiling, but scrotwm is my favourite auto tiling WM. Especially now, the new version made possible to lower/raise clients and that's sooo cool. Now with scrotwm I can do anything I used to do with musca and much more.
Indeed it's a nice piece of software.
I've actually been using this string to get the Artist - Track to show up in the Scrotbar through Conky:
${exec mocp -Q %artist} - ${exec mocp -Q %song}
But your script is more informative. I'll definitely have to try this out. Thanks ErSandro.
We are a nice, friendly community here and I hope we stay that way.
^You're right, i slighlty modified the script.
while :; do
STATE=`mocp -Q %state`
if [[ $STATE = "STOP" ]];
echo "MOC Stopped"
ARTIST=`mocp -Q %artist`
TITLE=`mocp -Q %song`
ALBUM=`mocp -Q %album`
CTIME=`mocp -Q %ct`
TTIME=`mocp -Q %tt`
echo "$STATE:::Artist - $ARTIST:::Album - $ALBUM:::Title - $TITLE:::Time - $CTIME/$TTIME"
sleep $SLEEP
Now the ouptut looks like this:
PAUSE:::Artist - Bob Marley & the Wailers:::Album - Legend:::Title - Satisfy My Soul:::Time - 02:36/04:33
Thanks for the advice.

Ask me anythingAboutArchive
Basically I did my dissertation on PPL…a strategic recommendations consultancy report. I finished it just over a month ago and sent it to my contacts within the company the next day.
This story in the title link came out on Friday.
The content of the story is one of the recommendations I made in my report.
Either this is a massive coincidence or they've actually nicked my advice…
Apparently this is whose policies I agree with best at the moment. I wonder if this will have changed by the time of the next election…
So instead of sit around here with nothing to do we've decided to spend at least today if not tomorrow too in Brighton for a bit of sunlight and a change of scenery.
No doubt it'll also involve a hell of a lot of beer on the beach.
War with Libya and the NHS have one main thing in common - saving the lives of people who need help. Wish the UK public weren't so selfish.

According to Drew Laing, Editor-in-chief of the Samford Crimson, Gonzaga has offered 2013 Guard Robert Hubbs. Hubbs is a Six Foot Four inch 170 pound guard from Dyer County High School in Newbern, Tennessee. According to his Scout profile (Here's the link to it: http://scouthoops.scout.com/a.z?s=75&p=8&c=1&nid=4976622 ) he already has several offers from several SEC and other schools. I couldn't find his official stats but I saw a recent youtube video (About 1 month old) where he says that he averages "About 25 points per game, about 8 rebounds per game, about 4 assists per game..." Just from watching a little film on him I hope he's in a Zag uniform soon. Here's a link to some footage of him playing for his school and his AAU team: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ay16CcGyM4

UPDATE: David West will officially sign a deal with the Pacers, according to multiple reports, including Yahoo! Sports's Adrian Wojnarowksi, after a sign-and-trade between the Hornets and Celtics fell apart. Woj added, "Celtics simply couldn't make 3 way deal with Hornets and Jermaine O'Neal contract."
Agent Lance Young confirms David West agrees with Indiana on two-year, $20 million deal: "David is ready to help them win a championship."— David Aldridge (@daldridgetnt) December 11, 2011
More details below from the initial news:
Pump the breaks on the David West to Boston talk. The sign-and-trade between the Celtics and Hornets is reportedly dead, according to TNT's David Aldridge. This coincides with Marc Stein's ESPN.com report that West is close to a two-year deal with the Pacers.
According to Stein, the Pacers have stepped in to offer West a deal worth $20 million as talks stalled this week between the Celtics and Hornets. More from Stein:
It was not immediately known if the Celtics would try to salvage their West deal with the New Orleans Hornets. The Pacers, sources say, also have Carl Landry and Andrei Kirilenko alongside West at the top of their frontcourt wish list.
Also via Stein, the Pacers are reportedly trying to clear space in their frontcourt by discussing a sign-and-trade with the Grizzlies that would swap Josh McRoberts for O.J. Mayo. The two teams discussed this deal at the trade deadline last season, but it fell apart right at the deadline.

Featuring three members of English progressive rock outfit King Crimson, The Crimson ProjeKCt has announced that it will embark on a series of tour dates this January.
The nearly three hour show will showcase side projects Stick Men and The Adrian Belew Power Trio's material and will conclude with both trios coming together for over an hour of all things King Crimson.
This awesome tune from the debut Pond album opens with organs and spirals into a psych trip, a loose seventies-flavoured prog excursion with heavy vocal delay and a warped, anthemic chorus.
Take an already excellent genre, add a few new ingredients to shake things up a bit and you could be onto a winning formula. A classic, with a twist. Sun God Replica's debut album Primitive Clockwork is just that. '70s rock a la Black Sabbath/ Blue Cheer with harmonised pop choruses reminiscent of early '90s indie rock greats.
Opening track Vivisection (which is more...
Opeth have always been known for their progressive death metal sound – complex riffage, growly death vocals and heavy, heavy guitars. So it comes as a huge surprise that although there are progressive riffs aplenty, both the death and the metal have been stripped from Opeth's sound on Heritage.
In their place is – get this – 1970s style jazz-fusion. Seriously. But that's not a...
So then, what's the band name and what do you 'do' in the band?
Our band is called A Lonely Crowd and I play guitar and compose a lot of the music.
Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
I personally don't...

home » baby shower invitations
Send your invitations out 3 - 4 weeks in advance to be sure your guests don't have previous plans. Make sure to include: date, time, location, gift registry, special items to bring, your phone number and RSVP. You may want to include a space for people to list any food allergies in the RSVP. I recommend inviting your guests over 30 minutes before you want the guest of honor to arrive. It's nicer for her (or them) to arrive after everyone is already there. If you have chosen a potluck then you'll want to extra time to organize the food.

The rise of ōpension tensionö driving up costs in local budgets is affecting some school districts more than others.
In that context, the administration at Pottsgrove School District deserves praise for the prudent foresight to set aside money to deal with precisely the scenario thatÆs unfolding.
District business manager David Nester explained the rationale to the school board during a recent budget presentation:
ōWhen the rate went from 7.13 percent (of payroll) to 5.69 percent, we didnÆt drop the amount we set aside for pensions,ö Nester explained. ōWe had surpluses over the years and we saw this coming far in advance.ö
That bet paid off and the district now has $4.9 million set aside in an account to help soften the impact of skyrocketing pension costs.
And skyrocketing, they are.
After years of underfunding, the stateÆs two major pension funds have accumulated deficits of a combined $41 billion.
As a result, the state and school districts face a steeply climbing schedule of payments to meet pension obligations. The increases are consuming much of the additional revenue the state has seen in the current yearÆs budget and even more of the small slice of discretional spending over which school boards have control in their annual spending plans.
School districts are currently paying 12.36 percent of their payroll into the PSERS system. That number climbs to 16.75 percent of payroll for 2013-2014 school year.Projections show that rate jumping to 26.26 percent of payroll by the 2016-2017 school year.
Given that Act 1, enacted in 2006, prevents school districts from raising property taxes beyond a state-set cap without voter approval, most school boards find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place, the hammer of rising pension costs they canÆt control and the anvil of a revenue cap they canÆt exceed without going to voters.
The end result is laying off teachers, cutting arts and sports programs, eliminating enrichment courses, and in some cases, even considering doing away with kindergarten.
In Pottsgrove, according to projections, the districtÆs pension costs will go up 37 percent, or $675,000 in the next year. The reforms which Gov. Tom Corbett promises to propose in his upcoming budget address wonÆt affect that number one penny. And even the most aggressive reform of the system will do little more than nibble at the $41 billion deficit.
In the midst of this dire situation, Pottsgrove finds itself in better shape to meeting its obligations because Nester and others were thinking ahead.
The district now has its own ōpension fund,ö which is in essence a nest egg to help pay for the rising contributions.
Nester has laid out a ōphasing planö through 2016 that draws off a couple hundred thousand dollars a year to offset the jump in pension costs until the increases level out at 27 percent of the districtÆs payroll.
The pension problem is no less a burden for Pottsgrove than anywhere else, but thanks to foresight, the weight isnÆt as hard to bear.

Another Kind of Music
by Paul Simon
I was in the audience at the Abbey Theater in Dublin on June 9, 1991, when Seamus Heaney read from his new book of poems, "Seeing Things." I know the exact date because he kindly inscribed his book for me and dated it. But I wouldn't have forgotten that night, with or without the month and year. Seamus gave a mesmerizing, witty and emotional performance, and it was a rare opportunity for me to hear the sound of his words spoken with their true accent.
Poetry Corner: Seamus Heaney(b. April 13, 1939 - d. August 30, 2013)
...was born at Mossbawn, about thirty miles northwest of Belfast, in Northern Ireland.
Sadly, he just left us August 30,2013 RIP.
He won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1995; no surprise to us.
Reading his poetry for the first time, we were ...well - stunned. His poems are so very well crafted they deserve enough respect for that alone. It is much more than skill that draws the reader. It is the natural eye of the natural poet.
The rare ability to make our lives stop - long enough to consider a small part of the world; a part we would have passed, as we always do, running through the distractions of the day.
We have faith you will not be able to read just one (or even just a few).
A tribute to Liam O'Flaherty in honor of an August birthday
by Bridget Haggerty
My maiden name is O'Flaherty and, while I cannot claim any direct kinship with Liam, I am very proud to be a member of his clan, if only by name. So, it is with a great deal of respect and admiration that I'd like to share with you something of his background and his life.
Liam O'Flaherty was born on August 28th, 1896. His birthplace was Inishmore, one of the rugged Aran Islands that sit in the Atlantic, off the coast of Galway the setting for many of his stories and novels.
The Galway International Oyster Festival - a joyous celebration of a native aristocrat
by Bridget Haggerty
Co. Galway is very fortunate to have the best oyster beds in Ireland. In the unpolluted waters of Brady Bay and Clarenbridge, the oysters lie waiting to be harvested at the beginning of the oyster season on September 1st.
This aristocrat of the sea is generally about three years old, and has been maturing and fattening - ready for its first - and last - encounter with the locals and tourists. Paired up with homemade brown bread and washed down with pints of Guinness, Galway oysters are a gourmet treat not to be missed - especially during the annual festivals in Clarenbridge and Galway City.

Making a Match in Lisdoonvarna
Matchmaking is one of Ireland's oldest traditions and, for the last couple of hundred years, a good deal of it has taken place in Lisdoonvarna during September and early October.
The name Lisdoonvarna comes from 'Lios Duin Bhearna', which means the lios or enclosure of the fort in the gap. The town developed into a tourist centre as early as the middle of the 18th-century when a top Limerick surgeon discovered the beneficial effects of its mineral waters. People travelled from near and far to bathe in, and drink, the mineral waters. Rich in iron, sulphur and magnesium, the waters gave relief from the symptoms of certain diseases including rheumatism and glandular fever.
The Irish Kitchen: Connemara Apple Tart
In the old days, after the crops had been built into stacks, dried out and then brought into the haggard, it was time for the threshing. Entire communities would come together to help each other out and farmer's wives would vie with each other to produce the best feed for the menfolk. Topping off the main course would be apple or rhubarb tart served with big mugs of hot sweet tea.
Basic Irish: Starters
Unless you can arrange to spend a year or so living in the Gaeltacht - an Irish speaking part of the country - learning the language will probably be nigh on impossible for most people. That said, in our basic Irish section, we have attempted to share with you simple words and phrases we think you will find both fun and useful.

Kids' Ireland: The Salmon of Knowledge
by Grainne Rowlan
"I got him! I got the Salmon of Knowledge!" yelled Finegas, dancing up and down for joy.
Finn came running when he heard his master shout. The Salmon of Knowledge! Finegas had been fishing in the Boyne River for years and years. His only dream had been to catch this well-known fish. Whoever ate THIS salmon would gain all the knowledge in the world! Finn knew now that old Finegas could die happily.
Music Review: Phil Coulter - A Master Class in Musical Landscapes
by William Ramoutar
He was born in 1942, in Derry, Northern Ireland to a Catholic policeman in the Royal Ulster Constabulary - a predominantly Protestant organization; that was probably hard enough in those days in the North. But to give up the piano because he hated both the instrument and the teacher was almost a losing stroke. Fortunately for the world, he came back to it and formed a musical partnership with Bill Martin, which lasted ten years and brought about a string of hit records with bands from many disparate genres.

This past spring I went to Ireland with my son and his wife & her family. What a wonderful experience - way too short a time. I would have loved to sit and plan my days in a much more leisurely fashion but what we saw was all too wonderful This was my first time there - did a bit of checking on my grandmother's birth place: Roscommon. I would so love to return.

ED. NOTE: When we asked Bonnie to send us a photo, she very kindly sent us two. We choose the one of her and her son at the Cliffs of Moher because it is such an iconic image of Ireland and one that is immediately recognizable. Standing more than 500 feet at the highest point and ranging for nearly five miles over the Atlantic Ocean, on a clear day one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South. The cliffs take their name from a ruined promontory fort "Mothar" which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower

The idols of Boa Island
Boa is at the lower end of Lough Erne in Co. Fermanagh. Here, in the ancient Caldragh cemetery are two pre-Christian stone figures - the Janus statue and a smaller statue, the Lusty Man. Shown is the more famous of the two - a double-sided figure of two beings carved back-to-back. Interestingly, this type of figure is often referred to when the calendar year has just turned and we are glancing back even as we move forward. Also, the month of January is named after Janus, the Roman god of doors and gates. Often flowers and coins are left at the base of both statues - perhaps for good luck in the new year? Speculation as to what the idols represent continues.

In the About Thornbury section:
Following on from the Thornbury Survey, a task force from Thornbury Chamber of Commerce has joined Thornbury Town Council's Healthcheck group to collaborate on producing a strategy for Thornbury, with support from South Gloucestershire Council.
The content of this strategy will also feed into South Gloucestershire Council's Core Strategy consultation.
Several projects have already resulted from the feedback, with highly successful Food and Craft Fairs, a Christmas leaflet to raise Thornbury's profile in the surrounding area, and a Carnival planned for Summer 2009. Here's a summary of the survey's recurrent themes:
What we love about Thornbury:
- Its attractive appearance
- Community groups and activities
- Thornbury in Bloom
- The safe, friendly feel
- The individual shops
What we'd like to see more of:
- Fairs, pageants, shows - celebrations!
- A greater variety of small specialist shops
- A "quality" supermaket
- A re-think on parking/pedestrianisation/traffic flow in the High Street and surrounding areas
- Making more of the great things we have to offer

By Jim Wallace - bio | email Worth County, GA (WALB) - The peanut industry continues a comeback after that nationwide salmonella outbreak.
The National Peanut Board and other industry groups launched a multi-million dollar marketing and advertising campaign to restore confidence and increase sales.
Is the effort to help Georgia's $2 billion a year peanut industry working?
South Georgia peanut farmers are still planting their 2009 crop. About 25% fewer acres than last year following the salmonella peanut problems at Peanut Corporation of America in Blakely in January.
Peanut butter sales plummeted more than 15% after the scare. Now the entire peanut industry has joined together to bring them back. A new multi million dollar ad campaign, "Peanuts, energy for the good life", is underway, uniting the entire peanut industry.
"Yes, it does bring the industry together when there is a problem," said American Peanut Industry Board Member Richard Barnhill. "We all share, and that was one of them. Yeah, I like to think we'll come back stronger as an industry. Certainly the food safety around peanuts is going to be much stronger than it's ever been."
The campaign is credited with 800 million consumer impressions already, pushing peanuts as a healthy food source, and peanut butter sales have rebounded to actually 8% above last year's sales at this time.
Sadly the economic recession may be one reason for those sales increases. "In tough times peanut butter and peanuts do very well. It's a great protein, very healthy food and it's economically priced," Barnhill said.
Peanut candy and peanut snacks sales however are still lagging, and millions of dollars will continue to roll out in the marketing campaign to restore peanut sales, crucial to South Georgia's economy and jobs.
The Georgia Peanut Commission is also leading an effort to donate thousands of jars of peanut butter to Georgia Food Banks.
Those peanuts will be processed at Tara Foods of Albany, using only Georgia peanuts, and will help feed people in need across the state.

NFTables To Replace iptables In the Linux Kernel
Soulskill posted about 10 months ago | from the out-with-the-old dept.235
An anonymous reader writes "NFTables is queued up for merging into the Linux 3.13 kernel. NFTables is a four-year-old project by the creators of Netfilter to write a new packet filtering / firewall engine for the Linux kernel to deprecate iptables (though it now offers an iptables compatibility layer too). NFTables promises to be more powerful, simpler, reduce code complication, improve error reporting, and provide more efficient handling of packet filter rules. The code was merged into net-next for the Linux 3.13 kernel. Iptables will still be present until NFTables is finished, but it is possible to try it out now. LWN also has a writeup on NFTables."

Global Agenda Council on Social Media 2012-2014
The challenge
Social media is changing rapidly. New companies, tools and apps appear incessantly, with varying degrees of success. Many are now offshoots of or merge with established platforms. The launch of Twitter's new #music service and Facebook's takeover of Instagram are examples. Increasingly fewer players are controlling the space. Generally, Facebook still dominates the sphere in the United States. The website accounts for 83% of the time people spend on social media websites in the US, according to comScore. That said, other players are starting to carve out space. Tumblr and Pinterest – two platforms that encourage image sharing – make up almost 8% of online social networking. This reflects the growing interest in visual media, a trend underlined by the global boom in online video. Despite the rise in popularity, many industries are still not aware of how to use social media effectively, while the massive amounts of data created by these communication technologies generate confusion on whether and how to use and regulate them for public benefit.
What the Council is doing about it
The Global Agenda Council on Social Media believes social media can have a significant positive impact. By giving a platform to anyone who wants to use it, it has the potential to open and democratize societies. But social media can also create an illusion of community, diversity, power and freedom. In addition, it is unclear where – if anywhere – the limits of communication lie. Social media may give disproportionate exposure to radicalized voices. The Council has examined the tension between identity and anonymity, as well as evaluated social media literacy. Through these discussions, the emerging focus areas are threefold. First, time as an organizing principle on how people "consume" social media and use data should be explored. Second, the increase in visual content will produce a need for new measurement tools, which are currently lacking. Finally, the prevalence of data-generating media requires a credible system for safeguarding privacy and regulation. Other themes the Council will look at include the concentration of social media companies, geographic differences in the use of social media, and misconceptions about the behavioural impact of social media.
"Other players are starting to carve out space. Tumblr and Pinterest – two platforms that encourage image sharing – make up almost 8% of online social networking. This reflects the growing interest in visual media, a trend underlined by the global boom in online video."
Over the next year, the Council plans to explore these challenges and their impact on individuals, groups and societies. The Council hopes to ensure that understanding is not limited to a small cross-section of society, and thus will create two publications. One will explore the developing themes in social media, while the other will outline best practices in social media that can be used by other Global Agenda Councils.

UPDATE:CYPRESS, Texas (AP) -- A 20-year-old man from suburban Houston has been charged in a stabbing spree at a Texas community college that injured at least 14 people.
Sheriff's officials say Dylan Quick is charged with three counts of aggravated assault in the Tuesday attack at Lone Star Community College in Cypress. The city is about 20 miles from Houston.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office says in a statement that Quick used a "razor-type knife" to cut his victims, and pieces of the blade were found at the scene.
The sheriff's office says Quick told investigators he'd had fantasies about stabbing people to death since he was in elementary school.
Investigators also say Quick indicated he'd been planning the attack for some time.
CYPRESS, Texas (AP) -- Officials say at least 14 people have been wounded in a stabbing attack at Houston-area college campus.
The Harris County Sheriff's department confirmed at least 14 people were wounded in the attack Tuesday on the Lone Star Community College System's campus in Cypress.
Authorities say at least four of those injured were taken by medical helicopter to hospitals in critical condition. Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department spokesman Robert Rasa says several patients refused treatment at the scene and all the wounds were consistent with stabbing.
Harris County Sheriff's Office spokesman Thomas Gilliland says authorities don't believe a second suspect was involved. Lone Star had earlier posted an alert on its website warning of two armed suspects.
CYPRESS, Texas (AP) -- A sheriff's official says one person has been arrested in a suspected stabbing attack at a Houston-area community college campus.
Alan Bernstein of the Harris County Sheriff's Office doesn't know how many people were hurt in the Tuesday attack on the Lone Star community college system's campus in Cypress, but multiple people could be seen being loaded into medical helicopters.
Bernstein says authorities have one suspect in custody.
Lone Star posted an alert on its website just before 12 p.m. warning students of two armed suspects and saying one person remains at large. The alert warned people to seek shelter in a secure location.
A different Lone Star system campus was the site of a January shooting. Two people were wounded, and a 22-year-old man was charged with aggravated assault.

HP Folio 13
Reviewed by Christopher Malone (Currently owns)
My mother got the Walmart edition of this laptop which comes with an i3, but was $100 less. Me, being the computer guy, had to set it up.
Design: I think it's an mediocre looking laptop. I don't care much for the lid's design. The screen has a two tone bezel. It's thick for an Ultrabook (but it gives you good battery and Ethernet). And the bottom of it is soft.
Keyboard: Best laptop keyboard I have ever used. Feels incredibly nice to use.
Touchpad: Okay, but two finger scrolling is mediocre.
Display: Ugly two tone bezel and 768 screen. I personally wouldn't get a 13+" laptop without at least a 1600x900 screen.
Performance: Good enough for Internet usage and uninstalling bloatware. Don't know much beyond that but my mom hasn't complained.
Noise: Very.
Heat: Not really.
Battery: Lasted through my general setup stage (installing software, removing bloat, setup, etc) which is about 2 hours with plenty battery to spare.
Software: A ton of bloat but easily removable and quickly removable thanks to the solid state drive.

Funny story here.... This is literally the first piece of music I've written. Another one that was co-composed with my buddy Josh, who is on guitar here. This was one of those, "Hey, taikos sound epic. Let's use them!" Then we brought up a horn patch: "Hey, this is a good theme. Let's use this!" (that's almost exactly how it went)
Several guitar solos and one sick modulation later, you have the beginning of our audio endeavors. The idea behind this piece was to create tension using suspensions. We had a ton of fun making this piece a few years ago. Not orchestrated or mixed nearly as well as our other stuff - this was the trial run. Hope you enjoy it!
I also should note that "Ad Victoriam" is Latin for "To Victory" and was used as a war cry by the ancient Romans.

Beautiful, love 2:10 - 2:30. Keep them coming :)
Thank you! We've got some pretty awesome stuff coming up :)
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars November 28, 2012
Really nice, i dont "not" like anything about this song, but it could use a bit more SFX to make it more interesting, but reakky nice!
Thanks for the review, glad you like it! :D

ATLANTA (AP) - The president of Spelman College has been awarded a national academic leadership honor from the Carnegie Corp.
Beverly Tatum is one of four college presidents named as a recipient of the honor. Tatum is also the first president of a Historically Black College or University, and the first college president from Georgia to be given the award.
Carnegie's award recognized college presidents for resourcefulness, innovation, international engagement and more.
Tatum told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution she'll use half the $500,000 award toward a matching grant to establish a computer science faculty position at the school. Tatum says she'll use the other half of the money to bolster a safety net fund for students facing financial hardships.
Presidents of Duke, Arizona State and Stanford University were also given the award.

News: Game Anxious Over "R.E.D." LP, "I Might Leak My Whole Album & Start Over & Still Go Triple Platinum"
Sunday, Nov 1, 2009 8:00AM
Game recently discussed his anticipation to get out The R.E.D. Album to his fans earlier than expected, even if it means intentionally leaking the entire solo project.
Writing via Twitter, the Black Wall Street leader hyped up his excitement for the forthcoming release.
"Don't be so fast to lock in to my Dec 8th release date... you already know Interscope gone move the date... but we still locked in ! R.E.D.," Game wrote on Friday (October 30). ""I AM HIP HOP" !!! RETWEET until the "realness" has re-surfaced. R.E.D. On My Mama, the R.E.D. album killing ere'thang else in its way when it drop !!! I SAID ON MY MAMA !!!! & Yeah I'm ridin wit Beans no matter what Rae think !!! R.E.D. 4 all people who think the "realness" in hip hop is gone. from dreams 2 h8 it or love it 2 my life to dis Better Days http://bit.ly/3wOQ5I "Better days" produced by Jim Jonsin & I dont even know how this sh!t leaked but it did so listen close & feel my pain. I believe in US. RED I MIGHT LEAK MY WHOLE ALBUM & START OVER TONITE & STILL GO TRIPLE PLATINUM ! DAMN, I'M DOPE. SH*T I'D GO AT BIN LADEN IF THAT N*GGA RAPPED." (Game's Twitter)
Game spoke on changing his rap alias last week.
"It's just Game now, I took the t-h-e off, you know what I'm saying," Game confirmed in an interview. "I'm just coastin' through, day-by-day, somebody got a script, I'ma read it, if it fits me, hopefully I'll get it. I'm just day-by-day right now. I'm strictly on the color red, I ain't going no further than that, it's gonna be the craziest album out of all four of 'em and it's the most hood album...You know how we do it under the Aftermath umbrella, it be on the low, but it will be in stores December 8th and that's how we gonna roll with it. We're putting out two singles next week..." (Hip Hollywood)
Additional details on the rapper's fourth solo project have begun to circulate online.
Dubcnn has exclusive news on Game's fourth studio album The R.E.D. Album. First off, note that the correct reference to his name is now Game, it is no longer The Game. As for the album, the release date is currently set for December 8, but there is a chance that it may slip by one week. You can expect the first street single from the album as early as next week. The track is called "Crazy" and features Gucci Mane with production by Timbaland. The first mainstream single from the album will be serviced next week also. It is entitled "L.A. Girl" and features Chris Brown. The track was produced by Pharrell. Other guest appearances on the album include Akon, Diddy, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross and Beanie Sigel. The rest of the production was handled by Akon, Pollow da Don, Cool & Dre and DJ Khalil. (Dubcnn)
Producers Cool & Dre previously revealed details on Game's album and expressed their intent to produce the entire project.
"It's a f*cking great experience working with The Game," Dre said agreeing with Cool. "To know that you have someone that you consider family and the music you guys make goes, every time. Every time, it's just a great chemistry. Like 'Hate It Or Love It,' it went huge. Our first number one record of our career. 'My Life,' Top 10. 'Big Dreams,' a record that didn't get no push, f*cking charted. He's dope, the new album is so retarded. We did some sh*t, we're going up there this week. We did a couple new records. We're trying to completely f*cking produce the whole thing, but you know, it's tough. People will step up their level of sh*t for Game. So you know, it's dope because it forces us to step it up...It's dope because he goes in there and writes a f*cking classic record. You know what makes Game dope? He respects the art form, he loves hip-hop so much. Like he respects classic records." (Jessie Maguire)
The R.E.D. Album is due in stores Tuesday, December 8th.

text: Pat Benatar is the pinnacle of a woman rocker. She has a stunning voice that can hits those high notes with proficiency meanwhile she has all the grit and edge that a hard rock fan is seeking. This collection of her hits is a great introduction for folks that aren't overly familiar with her work. I am not one of those people. Although I like this CD, I miss a lot of the songs such as "You Better Run", "Sex as a Weapon", "Treat Me Right", all of which are just as important as "Heartbreaker" and/or "Love is a Battlefield." Two versions of Hell is For Children was unnecessary, but the unfamiliar last two tunes on the album, especially "Outlaw Blues" are excellent songs. A great introduction for potential fans, this CD is not quite enough for us diehard Pat Benatar fans.

From the stories I've read, Baltimore is willing to take a late first/early second rounder in exchange for Gaither. Why not offer to swap our first round pick with theirs and see if they'd be interested in that? That is equivalent to a late round pick and I'd even be willing to throw in a late round pick this year or mid round pick next year to get that deal done.
If we were able to do that, we'd be able to solve our LT problem. Then with the #25 pick, we could pick up Jerry Hughes/Sergio Kindle to fill the OLB hole and get our NT (Cody or Cam Thomas) with our second round pick.
At that point, it only leaves QB as a gaping hole. If OBD really likes someone like Skelton, Lefouever, etc., then take a shot at one of them in the 3rd round. Or at least if we were able to get LT, OLB and NT filled by the time we make our second pick, we can truly go BPA for the rest of the draft.
Of course this is all predicated on the Ravens accepting that offer, but I see that as a great scenario if we could make it happen.

Women's soccer gearing up for regular season
The JU women's soccer team is almost one week into its preseason training and just over one week away from its first regular season match.
The Dolphins won't go into next Friday's match against Furman unprepared, however, as they will travel to SCAD tomorrow at 5 p.m. in their only exhibition of the year.
"We're excited to have the chance to play someone other than ourselves tomorrow," said JU head coach Brian Copham. "We've had a good first week of practice and our team is starting to settle in and getting used to playing with each other again."
JU is looking to improve on its run to the A-Sun semifinals last season and the Dolphins find themselves with their most talented squad in Copham's three years, returning 10-of-11 starters for the fall. The only spot to fill for the Dolphins is on a backline that logged a JU record 547 minutes without allowing a goal last year, all during conference play.
Among the starting 10 that will return for JU are "A-Sun Freshman of the Year" Eva Leeper and all-freshman honoree Lisa Hensley, who combined for 10 goals and seven assists last season for the Dolphins up front.
"It's nice to have so many players returning because they are all used to each other by now," said Copham. "However, even though they started last year, they know that the freshmen are fighting for their spots."
The Dolphins will begin the season with five straight road games and won't see a match at the friendly confines of the Ashley Sports Complex until Sept. 5 for a non-conference tilt against Winthrop.

Not sure if everyone got to catch the game yesterday but I thought this was worth repeating.
Gordie Clark was being interviewed by the babbling-idiots on a bunch of topics and the topic of Kreider came up. Gordie regurgitate the same ole 'we support his decision' rhetoric but then added that Chris came down to NY for some 'informal' skating.
Apparently Gordie asked a few Rangers what were their thoughts about Chris and Brad Richards replied "who is this kid and why isn't he signed yet?!?!"
