'Mozambique can meet India's LNG needs'
Mozambique, where hydrocarbon discoveries are drawing droves of foreign investors, is ready to satisfy India's natural gas needs, according to a minister from the southeast African nation.
"If the Indian government, or anybody, wants to buy LNG (liquefied natural gas) from Mozambique, we are ready to meed the demand," Mozambican Minister of Mineral Resources Esperanca Bias, here for the recent Petrotech 2014 international oil and gas conference organised by the Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), told IANS in an interview.
Mozambique plans to produce 34 million tonnes of LNG from its biggest gas field - the Rovuma Area 1 offshore block - where state-run ONGC Videsh Ltd, Oil India and Bharat Petroleum Corp have recently bought 30 percent stake in Mozambique, and will also participate in the LNG project.
"I think the natural gas project will boost our relationship furthur. The Rovuma basin is expected to start production from 2018 and we will make sure that India will start getting LNG by 2019," Bias said.
India currently has 18,000 MW of power capacity lying idle due to gas shortage, with another 10,000 MW in the pipeline awaiting commissioning.
The petroleum ministry has indicated to the Mozambican delegation an initial assessment of requiring 15-20 million tonnes of LNG. Petroleum Minister M. Veerappa Moily is to visit Mozambique next month to finalise the agreement for developing the project and the attached LNG terminals. Ten LNG terminals are likely to be set up, each with a yearly capacity of five million tonnes of gas.
US-based Anadarko Petroleum Corp is the Rovuma 1 project operator. Other partners include Empresa Nacional de Hidrocarbonetos EP of Mozambique, Mitsui of Japan and PTT Exploration and Production of Thailand.
"I believe that through this PPP (public-private partnership) project our relationship will get a good boost," Bias said.
She underlined the cooperative nature of the relationship, pointing out how India will train Mozambican personnel in the sector.
"The Indian petroleum ministry will offer Mozambique more than a hundred scholarships for training people in our hydrocarbons sector because we are quite new in the field," Bias said.
Bias said that both countries had an excellent relationship going. "We have a very good relationship between Mozambique and India. We are taking advantage (of India's expertise) because we are neighbours separated by the Indian Ocean.
"We have many Indian companies in Mozambique, while here in India there are many Mozambican students studying," Bias stated.

"The Peugeot 108 offers plenty of style and standard equipment, but the smaller engines are only suited to city driving."
Just like the old Peugeot 107, the new 108 has been developed in collaboration with Toyota and Citroen. That means all the parts have been tried and tested to ensure the Peugeot 108 is as reliable and cheap to run as the Hyundai i10, Kia Picanto or VW up!. Power comes from a choice of small petrol engines, all of which manage more than 60mpg while emitting less than 100g/km of CO2 for free road tax.
Three and five-door models are available, and the TOP! model has a full-length opening roof. Inside, there's room for four (at a push) and the boot is an improvement over the old model. While it isn't huge, it has a lower load lip, making it easier to lift heavy items in and out of the car. There's plenty of standard equipment, too: all models are fitted with LED daytime running lights, electric front windows and remote central locking.
While the Peugeot 108 isn't the last word in driving fun, it does benefit from a light steering setup and small dimensions, which make it a doddle to manoeuvre around town.
MPG, running costs & CO2
All models are tax-exempt, while fuel, insurance and maintenance costs should be low, too
The 108 is only available with a pair of low-powered petrol engines, with no Peugeot 108 diesel forecast for the UK market. The 1.0-litre petrol engine is the most economical, and is actually available in two versions – the VTi and VTi Stop & Start, with the latter capable of 74.3mpg and just 88g/km CO2 emissions for free road tax. Even the standard VTi will do 68.9mpg and emits just 95g/km.
The 1.2-litre engine is impressively frugal, too, managing 65.7mpg and just 99g/km of CO2. That means all three engines are free to tax and none will cost much to fuel either.
It's worth noting that the 1.0-litre engines are only available on the Access and Active trims, with the larger and more powerful 1.2-litre petrol engine limited to the more expensive Allure and Feline specifications.
The Peugeot 108 should allow you to keep a lid on long-term running costs, too. All models fall into a low insurance group and associated repair costs should be cheap thanks to the fact it shares many of its parts with the Citroen C1 and Toyota Aygo. If you're a company car driver, the 108's low CO2 emissions will help, and the fact that they're all petrol-powered means you'll avoid the three per cent diesel surcharge as well.
Engines, drive & performance
Perfect around town, but the 108 feels out of its depth on the motorway
First and foremost, the Peugeot 108 has been designed for the city – and this is where it's most at home. So if you spend most of your time darting around town, the 1.0-litre engine should suit you perfectly, as it feels nippy, agile and easy to drive. However, if you frequently venture out and onto the motorway, we'd advise paying a bit more for the larger engine.
The increased power output of the 1.2-litre engine means it feels much quicker at higher speeds. The proof is in the numbers – while the 1.0-litre engine takes 29.8 seconds to get from 50-70mph, the 1.2-litre engine almost halves it by doing the same sprint in just 15.9 seconds. However, it's worth noting that the smaller engine is only available on Access and Active trims, while the larger is restricted to Allure and Feline specifications – so which engine you go for is largely dictated by how much standard equipment you need.
In terms of fun, the Peugeot 108 trails the Skoda Citigo and VW up!, while on the motorway the Hyundai i10 feels decidedly more stable. However, it's a big step up from the old Peugeot 107, and feels a lot better engineered. The steering is light and the visibility is great, so if you want a car designed primarily for the city, you can't go far wrong.
Interior & comfort
Much better than the old Peugeot 107, but the Hyundai i10 is more comfortable still
Peugeot has worked hard on making the 108 more comfortable. The old Peugeot 107 felt cheap and not very cheerful, crashing over bumps and potholes, sending a sharp thud through the suspension and into the driver's seat. The lack of sound insulation meant you could hear the suspension working away, too.
What you have now is a car that feels a lot more grown-up. There's no need to wince approaching a pothole anymore, as the car seems to soak up rough roads with ease. A Hyundai i10 or Skoda Citigo will be more comfortable still, but the 108 is an unarguable improvement over the ageing 107.
The 108 takes a big step up in terms of refinement, too. The old model was unbearably noisy on the motorway, but the 108 is much better. You don't have to turn the radio up all the way just to hear it and there's no need to shout at your passengers, either. Wind and tyre noise have both been worked on, and now you'll be able to travel at 70mph without any worries.
Practicality & boot space
Enough room for four at a squeeze, but a Hyundai i10 offers more space
If boot space is your priority, then take a look at the Hyundai i10. The 196-litre boot in the Peugeot 108 is 55 litres shy of the Hyundai's, but the 108's low load lip does mean it's easy to lift heavier items into the car. In all but the most basic model, the rear seats split down the middle and fold (but not completely flat), which improves the city car's practicality further – but let's be honest, you don't buy a city car to carry flat-pack furniture.
Rear seat space is predictably limited, though there's enough room for two adults on a short journey. If you plan on taking passengers regularly, we'd recommend choosing the five-door model, which makes access to the rear considerably easier. Sadly for bargain hunters, the basic Access trim is only available as a three-door, but all the other (more expensive) models can be chosen with three or five doors.
Space up front is as you'd expect and there's plenty of adjustment in the seat and steering wheel. All 108s except the most basic model have height adjustment for the driver's seat, while every car gets power-steering, remote central locking and electric front windows.
Reliability & safety
The 108's parts have been tried and tested in the Toyota Aygo and Citroen C1
Peugeot isn't famed for its reliability, but the fact that the 108 was designed with help from Toyota and Citroen could work in the city car's favour. It carries over a number of tried-and-tested parts from the old Peugeot 107, including the small 1.0-litre engine – so anyone worried about the car's longevity should take confidence in that. The newer 1.2-litre engine is more of an unknown, although it's also offered in the Peugeot 208. Engines are so thoroughly tested these days that we'd be very surprised if it suffered any recurring or widespread reliability problems.
The 108 was awarded four stars by Euro NCAP, scoring 80 per cent for both adult and child occupant protection. The crash tests have become more stringent recently, so the car's failure to achieve the full five stars is not hugely significant. There's plenty of clever technology and equipment as standard, including anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, six airbags and two ISOFIX child-seat mounts.
Price, value for money & options
Decent specification, but the Toyota Aygo comes with a five-year warranty
The Peugeot 108 costs about the same as its rivals, such as the Skoda Citigo, Citroen C1 and Hyundai i10. Peugeot has also made sure it comes packed with equipment, with all models benefitting from electric front windows, LED daytime running lights and a host of safety features, including six airbags and two ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Step up to the mid-spec Peugeot 108 Active model and you'll add larger wheels, colour-coded body trim (rather than black door handles and mirrors) and air-conditioning. Inside, you get a seven-inch touchscreen, DAB radio, a Bluetooth phone connection and a height-adjustable driver's seat. Active cars and above are also available as a TOP! model. This adds a full-length fabic roof, which can be opened in a similar fashion to the Fiat 500C and Citroen DS3 Cabrio.
Probably the best-value model in the range is the Allure, which only costs about £3,000 more than the basic Access, but adds a reversing camera, alloy wheels, automatic headlights and keyless go.
It's the top-spec Feline model that boasts the most luxury, though, including automatic climate control and leather seats. But we'd recommend sticking with Allure – you get all the equipment you could ever want, and it looks great, too.

Time lapse
by Jason • • 1 Comment
Probably some of the most compelling content these days has resulted from the convergence of photography and videography – that being time lapse compilations. In the early days, people would use something called an intervalometer that would programatically tell your camera to fire the shutter release every couple of seconds over a specified period of time. You would then take this series of images and assemble in some software designed for that purpose. It started out very clunky, and only those that could really dial in their photo settings to account for variations in brightness over time, sync the series to show a certain number of frames in their video editor, and prevent ghosting in the final product could do a decent job.
As with all technology, the point of entry gets easier, and the results get higher. Here's a time lapse sequence I shot (on my iPhone) using the native camera, an app I bought for like $5 (called Lapse It), and it's own method for creating the video. If you wanna get fancy, you can even add music to your sequences:
It's certainly not going to win anything at Sundance, but I could easily see this tool becoming more popular in the hands of the uber creatives out there. The best part is that this is only one of many time lapse apps available. While I certainly am not going to spend vast amounts of money on all of them to review here, figured I'd share this one as a demonstration and a partial vote of confidence for this one.
My biggest complaints:
- My iPhone kept falling over (did not have a tripod to mount it to)
- The app makes it difficult to add the music of your choice, and combine when publishing…
- The app doesn't let you take the series of images it captured and move into your own video editor. Instead I'd have to take the compiled video, export that to my computer, and throw into Premiere for more cleanup. I'd always rather deal with the source content, ya know?
Anyone else have any experiences, luck, or complaints with time lapse apps in their own mobile devices? What kinds of content are you creating with them? Be sure to share your thoughts, comments and feedback below…

Using Mnemonics For Spelling Study Guide
Using Mnemonics For Spelling
In this lesson, you will learn about mnemonics—memory aids to help you become a better speller.
TALK ABOUT A tricky word! Mnemonic might be a hard word to spell, but it is a simple concept. Meaning memory aid, mnemonics can be handy for helping you remember spelling rules, or how to spell particularly difficult words. They are typically phrases or rhymes that are used to make memorization easier. The idea behind mnemonics is that people remember best when more than one function of the brain is used to process information.
Simple mnemonics can be created from rhymes, tunes, or acronyms. You may recall the acronym Roy G. Biv, the grade school mnemonic used when learning the colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). Mental pictures and stories are also useful mnemonics.
Quite a few mnemonics apply to spelling. Here are some of the most common ones:
- i before e, except after c.
This clever rhyme is one of the best-known mnemonics. It means that in most words that have the letters i and e grouped together, the i will come before the e, except in words where there is a c immediately before this combination. For example, in the word niece, the i comes before the e, and in the word receipt, the e comes before the i because the combination is preceded by a c.
- When two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.
Let's break down the rhyme to fully understand it. When two vowels go walking refers to a two-vowel combination in a word. For example, abstain, flea, foe, and true. The first one does the talking means that in the two-vowel combinations, only the first vowel is pronounced and the second one is silent. In the case of our examples, you hear the long a in abstain, but not the i. In flea, you hear the long e but not the a, and in foe you hear the long o but not the e.
- You hear with your ear.
This is an easy way to differentiate the words hear and here. If you remember the mnemonic, you'll remember that the word ear is in the word that means to listen to.
- Desserts have two sugars.
This one will help you avoid confusing desert (the sandy, arid land) with dessert (the sweet ending to a meal). Sugars then, refers to the ss in the word dessert.
- There is a rat in separate.
So often, the word separate is misspelled as seperate. Remember the rat to remember the correct spelling!
- The principal is my pal.
This mnemonic will help you distinguish between a pair of frequently confused homonyms. (Homonyms will be explained later, so don't worry if you're not sure what they are.) If you remember that the principal of your school is your pal, you will not confuse the principal of a school with the word principle, meaning rule of action or conduct.
You can devise mnemonics for any spelling rules or words you find particularly difficult. Here are some tips on creating mnemonics that will be easy to remember and, therefore, useful. (If you can't even remember your mnemonic, it won't help you to remember your spelling!)
- Use rhymes, rhythmic patterns, or tunes.
- Try humorous or odd sayings that will stick in your mind.
- Exaggerate features or images to make them vivid.
- Make your mnemonics personally meaningful.

"If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail." This so-called "law of the instrument" has shaped neuroscience to core. It can be rephrased as, if all you have a fancy voltmeter, everything looks like a transient electrical event. No one in the field understands this more Douglass Fields, an NIH researcher who has re-written every neuroscience dogma he has turned his scrupulous eye to. In a paper published yesterday in Nature, Fields questions the conventional wisdom that informs recent efforts to map the brain's connectivity, and ultimately, its electrical activity. In particular, he questions the value of making detailed maps of neurons, while at the same time neglecting the more abundant, and equally complex "maps" that exist for glia.
When first discovered, the "action potential" generated by a neuron was a rich and multiphysical event. It has since degenerated into a sterile, directionally-rectified electrical blip, whose only interesting parameter is a millisecond-scrutinized timestamp. In the last two years alone, Fields has re-generalized the spike. Having highlighted many of the fine scale physical events that accompany a neuron's firing, like temperature and volume changes, optical effects, displacement, and myriad nonsynaptic effects, Fields demonstrated the intimate knitting of reverse propagating spikes into the behavior and function of neuronal networks. He also showed how spikes directly control non-neuronal events, in particular, myelination.
The Eyewire project at MIT is a fantastic effort to create detailed neuronal maps—it expands neuroscience to the larger community, and generates much worthwhile scientific spin-off. It is also completely absurd. To have so much talk about brain maps without drawing clear distinction between the glaring contrast in the value of white matter maps and grey matter maps is telling. Maps of the white matter will be indespensible to understanding our own brains. They are highly personal, yet at the same time will be one of the most valuable things we might soon come to share. For the moment here, we can liken them to the subway or transportation map of a complex city.
To try and map the grey matter, at least in our foreseeable era, is to attempt to record the comings and goings of all the people entering and exiting the doors of the trains of our subway system. Not only is the task infinitely harder, pound for pound, it is equally less valuable, and impermanent. Looked at another way, if we imagine some hyper-detailed ecologist mapping the different trees in a forest, one valuable piece of information to have would be the tree species or type. Their age, size, density and distribution would similarly be worthwhile parameters. Also maybe some detail about their finer structure would be predictive of what kind of animals species might live and move about their arbors. Eyewire, on the other hand, is mapping every twig down to the finest termination as a leaf. The problem is that leaves are shed and regenerated anew each year, and while Eyewire might map a few neurons in the same time, synapses morph to a faster drum.

After switching out all the OEM analog TVs to flat screen HDTVs, I was amazed at the over-the-air digital broadcasts available in our usual travel patterns. If it wasn't for specific HBO and other cable programs that we enjoy year-around, I would have stopped spending money on satellite TV service.
Then I was attracted to DISH TV's pay-as-you-go offer for RVers. I purchased a DISH receiver for the RV, and paid their one time fee to attach a 2tb external hard drive for DVR capability (780 SD hours worth!). I paid KVH to reprogram my sat dome, from Direct to DISH. I got authorization for Distant Local Stations (a paperwork drill that has to be repeated every time your RV registration is renewed).
Today, after my second season subscribing to DISH TV for RVers, I have concluded that DISH RVer service doesn't match up with their advertising. In the DISH TV corporate ocean, their RV division is a small fish that gets little attention. An extraordinary amount of time and patience is required to wade through their automated Customer Service phone system to find an agent even remotely knowledgeable about Dish for RVers and their pay-as-you-go scheme.
DISH claims that you can simply "pause" the service, and not pay for the months you don't need it. But unless you want to pay DISH a small monthly charge to keep your account "active," turning the DISH TV for RVers service on and off is more like administrative birth and death.... every time.

I have no monthly fee to keep the account active. But I have had the pay as you go for 3 years and maybe I am grandfathered. I'm thinking you have to ask for an RV specialist. When I called the first time the person was clueless. She wanted to explain everything but what I needed and couldn't seem to understand the concept of a home moving down the road to another location. I finally asked if they had anyone that dealt with RV accounts and poof - everything was fixed.

My motorhome dealer installed a rooftop Dish-compatible dome antenna and a Dish TV receiver before I took delivery of my coach in May of 2012. Shortly afterward, I opened a subscription to their satellite service. After I subscribed and paid in advance with a credit card, they eliminated my local channels from their service but never offered to reduce their price for the lost service. Although they require that I buy channels, that I never watch, in order for me to get the movie channels that I do watch, it was working pretty well until recently. Pictures were HD and beautiful.
I dewinterized my coach this spring, after suspending my satellite service through the winter, then called Dish TV to activate my service. First they incorrectly told me that they would need to send a technician to "adjust" my antenna at a cost of $135.00 before activating my service. Since my antenna tracks the satellites automatically, that was completely unnecessary. Finally, after reaching a supervisor to explain that my antenna was on the roof of my motorhome and needed no adjustment they finally agreed to activate my service. On April 18th, I paid them $82.60 for a month of "premium" service with the understanding that I could pause my service when it was not needed and not pay for unused time. Dish-TV acknowledged all of my payments via email and also acknowledged via email every time I paused and unpaused my service. Until yesterday, I had used just nine days from my prepaid month having paused and unpaused the service three times.
When I called them on July 7th to remove the pause again, even though their most recent bill stated that I had a half-month credit balance, they demanded that I pay them an additional $104.69. They refused to explain why I could not use the remaining time for which I had already paid but had not used. When I tried to get an explanation they offered none, but repeatedly and robotically said that I would need to pay them $104.69 or they would not unpause my service. There was also no explanation regarding how much additional time that the $104.69 would buy me.
At this point, I have a huge investment in an automatic tracking antenna, receiver and hard drive (which they charged me $42.40 to activatein order to digitally record satellite programming) but am being blackmailed for more money that I do not feel that I owe them. Otherwise, all of that expensive equipment that I bought to receive satellite TV is useless. If Dish TV is going to bill me for service in my RV, when it is not being used, then their vaunted RV pause program is a sham. Have other subscribers had this problem? I am beyond frustrated over this.
When I bought my coach from the Lakewood, NJ Camping World, their Website advertised the following:
"Enjoy DISH Network Pay-As-You-Go programming with the ViP211k receiver.
"Pay-As-You-Go is ideal for anyone wanting to enjoy satellite TV on a seasonal or temporary basis without having to commit to a long term contract. Purchase the DISH Network 211K HD receiver and prepay for 30-days of programming at a time. Stop and start programming as you need, without penalties. The DISH Network 211k is an HD single-tuner satellite receiver that works with any satellite antenna compatible for DISH Network on both SD and HD televisions. ViP211k is DVR ready so you can add our own external USB hard drive. Own up to 3 ViP211k receivers. Programming package, HD upgrade fees, additional receiver fees, installation and satellite antenna not included."

what is the best computer brand?
Printable View
what is the best computer brand?
It really depends on your needs, laptop, desktop, whether it is to be used for internet, gaming, media editing. Though i think the brand of computer that makes fairly great computers in all different uses is dell, though for example if you wanted a gaming computer Alienware is the best, and if you wanted to edit media, mac is the best. Then if you just wanted to browse the internet as fast as possible just get a machine with a really good specs.
I am quite happy with my Dell.
rani84jor, what kind of computer do you need.
Desktop or laptop?
Gaming or normal use?
Work or home?
You will not get any genuine answers by asking that question unless your are more specific in your needs.
I've been using a Dell Dimension 3000 desktop since my sophomore year in high school (I just graduated from college); so I would say Dell is pretty trustworthy. I am, however, retiring this guy for an HP 2730p Tablet PC :)
Most generic computers constructed from parts by a computer shop are just as good as any name brands - the main difference is the price. Some name brands do use proprietary constructs inside which limits your ability to substitute parts - which makes those particular brands worse than the no name ones.
At least that's the case for desktop computers. For laptops you are best to go for one of the cheap name brands.
I personally would never buy a prebuilt desktop computer, I prefer custom builds as its cheaper and you know the quality of the parts going in. In terms of laptops I would go with Acer (budget but very powerful), HP (good quality aftercare) or Dell (pretty much the standard for laptops).
I don't like any of the major brands. Except maybe Sony but they're expensive.
I also like custom builds, except I don't do it myself. I ordered a new one just a few days ago from CyberPower PC.
dell is now the best brand out there
IMO is IBM.
Honestly, I like emachines and dell. This is mostly becuase it is very easy to find any drivers that you need for either brand; you can easily download them from their respective websites.


text: WICHITA, Kan. - Police are looking for two suspects in the beating and robbery of a man in his south Wichita home late Monday night. Wichita Police Lt. Doug Nolte says that just before 11 p.m. two men walked into a home in the 1300 block of South Laura through the unlocked front door. Nolte says the men demanded money from a 65 year old man in the house and one of the suspects beat him repeatedly with a baseball bat. Lt. Nolte says both men went through the victims pockets and took a small amount of cash and his wallet, containing a social security card, bank cards and credit cards. The victim was taken to Wesley Medical Center for treatment and while he was there police discovered an attempt to use the victims bank card at an ATM in the 1900 block of North Broadway. Police did not locate any suspects in the area and no arrests have been made. The suspects are described as two white males. One was approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and 160 pounds with a buzz cut. The other was about 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighed about 180 pounds.

Oxtail Ragu
When experimenting with interesting meat and different cuts, sometimes, you have to give up one thing to get a completely new dish. I originally wanted to do a rabbit ragu but couldn't find any rabbit at any butcher shop so went for the oxtail instead. Oxtail can be somewhat bland so you have to make sure you season it properly.

Hearty and delicious!

'Justified' Premiere Recap: Mystery Takes Early, Deadly Twist (Buddy TV) — The producers of Justified like to, if nothing else, experiment with how their season-long storylines play out from season to season. In season 2, we had the long-running singular villain in the form of Mags. Last season, we had two villains — though, arguably, only one turned out to actually try and kill Raylan — and this season, we're not sure what we have. At the very least, it's a thirty-year old mystery that incorporates Raylan's father, Arlo. In 1983, an unknown person parachuted to their death with what looked like bricks of cocaine. They were discovered by a man named Sherman and presumably his wife. Somehow, 30 years later, what we can assume Sherman stole from the dead person wound up inside the walls in Arlo's home that Raylan is now trying to sell. That mystery is discovered by a pair of teenage "wire strippers" (people who break into homes to steal valuable wires that can be sold for scrap) who broke into Arlo's home before being discovered by the local Constable, Bob Sweeney — played by comedian Patton Oswalt.'Justified' Spoilers Season 4 Premiere 'Hole in the Wall': Raylan Gets Into A Mess (Buddy TV) — It's time to return to Kentucky! We we last saw US Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant), he saved Loretta McGready from the money hunting Dickie Bennett, witnessed Ellstin Limehouse chop off Robert Quarles's (Neal McDonough) arm, and dealt with the revelation that his father may have tried to kill him to protect Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins).'Justified': Where Did We Leave Off in Season 3? (Buddy TV) — "Justified" season 3 was primarily about Harlan County. The arrival of Robert Quarles caused disruption in the criminal ranks in the county. Boyd left his crime-free days behind and re-established his crew. Dickie Bennett was on a quest to find the fortune left behind by his mother, Mags. Raylan had his hands full with all the crime and killings. The strain of his job became too much and his relationship with Winona ended, even though she was pregnant with his child. Raylan's heartbreak was only heightened when his father demonstrated his love and preference for Boyd over his own son. It's only a few days until we find out what happens next! "Justified" returns on Tuesday, January 8 at 10 pm ET on FX.Walton Goggins talks 'Django Unchained,' 'Justified' (L.A. Times) — The actor, returning as Boyd Crowder on 'Justified,' recently went from cowboy boots in 'Django Unchained' to high heels in a 'Sons of Anarchy' guest spot. Alabama-born Walton Goggins is best known for playing corrupt cop Shane Vendrell on "The Shield" and born-again ex-con Boyd Crowder on "Justified," which earned him an Emmy nomination; the crime drama returns for its fourth season Jan. 8. But Goggins also dispelled any preconceptions about his limits as an actor this year with divergent roles in the films "Django Unchained" and "Lincoln" as well as a recent guest spot on "Sons of Anarchy."News Briefs: AMC Orders a Dark Cop Drama to Series (TV.com) — Plus: Ben Stiller has a pair of comedies in the works, ABC hands out online holiday gifts, and "Justified" welcomes a "Lost" vet. ...'Justified' Season 4 Trailer: Guns, Snakes and Raising the Stakes (Video) (The Wrap) — FX's crime drama "Justified" comes back to the small screen on Jan. 8 with the premiere of its fourth season, and the network has issued a new promo, "Raise the Stakes," to prepare fans for the return of Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens. ...'Justified' teaser reveals the first shots from Season 4 (Zap2It: Inside the Box) — Season 4 of "Justified" is just over the horizon, and thanks to a new teaser from FX you can see the first brief glimpses of what Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) and Co. are up to when the series returns in January. Amid flashes of the show's trademark gallows humor — at one point, Raylan deadpans, "There may be some gunplay involved" — and tense moments between Raylan and a group of armed men, a couple of scenes stand out. The first is at the top of the 30-second spot, with Boyd (Walton Goggins) confronting a revival preacher (Joe Mazzello) about being a "false prophet." We already know the two characters will clash, and it appears to start pretty early. The second moment comes when Raylan visits his dad, Arlo (Raymond J. Berry) , in prison. "You think you get all your turmoil from me?" Arlo asks. That could be a reference to a cold case Raylan is investigating that ...'Anger Management,' 'Justified' Return Dates Set by FX (The Wrap) — FX released its early 2013 premiere schedule Wednesday, including dates for the second season of Charlie Sheen's sitcom "Anger Management" and the fourth season of the Timothy Olyphant lawman drama "Justified." The premiere schedule kicks off with "Justified" on Tuesday, Jan. 8 at 10 p.m. ...First Look At Patton Oswalt In 'Justified' (AOL TV Squad) — "Justified" fans will have to wait until early January for a new episode, but we've got your first look at Patton Oswalt, who makes his debut as Constable Bob Sweeney in the season 4 premiere, now.Justified Season 4 Photo Shows Patton Oswalt with a Badge (Cinema Blend) — "Justified" is a series that knows how to balance humor with drama and suspense, so Patton Oswalt seems like the perfect kind of actor to guest star on the FX series. Known for his stand-up comedy, the comedian-actor has a proven and demonstrated knack for mixing funny with serious. See "Big Fan" and "Young Adult" for feature examples of what I'm referring to. Or perhaps we'll have another great example when he appears in the upcoming fourth season premiere of "Justified."Patton Oswalt: A 'Justified' peek (Entertainment Weekly) — EW exclusive! Meet Constable Bob Sweeney, who ''basically sorta wants to be Raylan Givens, but is not'''Lincoln' Star — I Am Not Brian Grazer, I Swear! (TMZ) — Here's "Lincoln" and "Justified" star Walton Goggins — who turns 41 on Saturday — at the AFI Film Festival in L.A. this week (left) — and uber producer Brian Grazer, 61, at an event earlier this year (right).A little dab will do ya.We're just ...'Justified' Creator Graham Yost to Keynote NY TV Fest (The Wrap) — Graham Yost, creator and executive producer of FX's "Justified," will be the Creative Keynote speaker of this year's New York Television Festival, joining previously announced participants including head writers of several late night shows, "Carrie Diaries" executive producer Candace Bushnell, and the cast of "Jersey Shore." The festival highlights the work of independent writers and producers as they vie for several development deals. ...Creative Arts Emmys: The Winners (Hollywood Reporter) — HBO lead with 17 awards, with "Game of Thrones" snagging six of them. Upsets included Jeremy Davies of "Justified" taking best guest drama actor.Justified's David Menuier Joins the Revolution (TV Guide) — NBC's "Revolution" is growing! David Meunier has landed a recurring role on the NBC series, TVGuide.com has learned. The "Justified" alum will play Sgt. Strausser, who first appears in the second episode of the series. Sgt. Strausser is "a menacing psychopath who works for General Monroe [David Lyons]," creator Eric Kripke says.'The Americans' Gets FX Series Order (The Wrap) — FX has placed a 13-episode order for the 1980s-set spy drama "The Americans," starring Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys and Noah Emmerich. Created by executive producer and showrunner Joe Weisberg, the series is executive produced by "Justified" creator Graham Yost, Justin Favley and Darryl Frank. ...TV Stars Invade 'Sesame Street'! (AOL TV Squad) — "Sesame Street" Season 43 will be filled with stars ... TV stars to be exact. "Mad Men" actor Jon Hamm, "House of Lies" actors Kristen Bell and Don Cheadle and more very familiar TV faces will be paying a visit to Elmo and co. when the new season premieres on Mon., Sept. 24 on PBS Kids. Other familiar faces stopping by include "Parenthood's" Dax Shepard, "Justified" star Timothy Olyphant, Ed Helms, Zac Efron, Melissa McCarthy and Steve Carell, just to name a few. Season 43 will also see parodies of "The Voice" and "Downton Abbey." Take a look at some of the TV stars heading to "Sesame Street" in the gallery below. "Sesame Street" premieres on Mon., Sept. 24 on PBS Kids.

They include "Alcatraz" star Sarah Jones , Margo Martindale, an Emmy winner for "Justified" who last appeared on "A Gifted Man" and "Detroit 1-8-7" star Natalie Martinez. ...On the Range With A&E's Hot Summer Hit Longmire (TV Guide) — It's been a long time since TV was populated by righteous dudes of few words in cowboy hats. Timothy Olyphant's lawmen on "Deadwood" and "Justified" have a vengeful streak, and on "Hatfields & McCoys" you couldn't hit a hero with a Winchester if you tried. That's the hole "Longmire" executive producers Hunt Baldwin, John Coveny and Greer Shephard wanted to fill. "After a ...'Downton Abbey' Cleans Up In Emmys Acting Categories (AOL TV Squad) — "Downton Abbey" has had quite a banner day today. Not only did the PBS Masterpiece series get an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Drama, as expected, but they also received six major acting nominations in the Drama Series categories: Hugh Bonneville (Outstanding Lead Actor), Michelle Dockery (Outstanding Lead Actress), Maggie Smith and Joanne Frogatt (both for Outstanding Supporting Actress), and Brendan Coyle and Jim Carter (both for Outstanding Supporting Actor). Last year, "Downton Abbey" was submitted in the Outstanding Miniseries or Made for Television Movie category, which it easily won, but this year it's up against some major competition in the Outstanding Drama category, including newcomer "Homeland," favorites "Breaking Bad," "Game of Thrones" and "Boardwalk Empire" and the category's reigning champion, AMC's "Mad Men," which has won four years running. "Downton's" submission as a drama series shook up a lot of the acting categories — last year, Maggie Smith won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or Movie for playing the Dowager Countess (note: Elizabeth McGovern was also nominated last year as Lead Actress, but did not receive a nomination this year), but this year's five new contenders for the acting categories bumped some familiar Emmy faces from the race. Most notable? "Mad Men" star John Slattery, a.k.a. Roger Sterling, who was missing from this year's Supporting Actor in a Drama Series category for the first time in the show's history. "Mad Men's" Jared Harris did get a nomination in that category — his first, for a truly phenomenal final season on the show — but it was the two nominee newcomers of "Downton" that edged Slattery out of the race. Another snub, possibly caused by all the "Downton" love: Hugh Laurie did not receive a nomination for Best Actor for the final season of "House," even though he had been nominated every year for the previous six seasons of the show. Another Hugh, Mr. Bonneville, was honored with a nomination in the category this year. In the Best Actress category, three of last year's nominees were MIA this year — Mariska Hargitay ("Law & Order: SVU"), Mireille Enos ("The Killing") and Connie Britton (last year was "Friday Night Lights'" final season) — leaving the door open for Glenn Close for the final season of "Damages" and newcomers Claire Danes for "Homeland" and Michelle Dockery for "Downton Abbey." In the Best Supporting Actress category, neither Kelly Macdonald ("Boardwalk Empire") nor Michelle Forbes ("The Killing") received a repeat nomination this year, and last year's winner Margo Martindale ("Justified") was not eligible this year, leaving slots open for the two "Downton" ladies. In total, "Downton Abbey" received 16 Emmy nominations this year. What's your take: Does the show deserve all the love?

'Absolutely Torrential'
12 September 2010
'Absolutely Torrential'
Zurich. Show day.
Woke up to a fine, crisp day and commented to myself that this is the perfect kind of outdoor gig weather. Blue skies, sunshine, not oppressively hot, it looked like it would be ideal. On arrival at the gig, Nick, my lighting crew chief, told me that heavy rain was forecast for later, but this just didn€™t seem possible and as the beautiful afternoon wore on, it seemed like this was nothing more than meteorological pessimism.
One Republic opened the show last night and again today. They€™re a band I didn€™t really know a great deal about, but I chatted to a few of them this afternoon and they seem like a really nice bunch of lads. From Denver, apparently. U2 came in to soundcheck and do a little bit of rehearsal on some new songs. They played Mercy again and had a go at Mothers of the Disappeared as a potential alternative to MLK.
The weather was still more than fine as we had dinner and One Republic played. Then with timing weirdly reminiscent of Moscow, as the opening chords of Space Oddity rolled, the first big drops started to fall from the sky. Even by the time U2 took the stage it was quite definitely raining and the stage brollies were rising from underworld. It rained steadily and gradually ramped up during the course of the show until reaching an intensity that I can€™t recall ever having seen at a U2 show before (even at Red Rocks it stopped raining periodically).
It was absolutely torrential and utterly relentless, so far from shying away and hiding under the brollies, the band just threw themselves into the show and the weather, and the crowd just loved it. Not surprisingly, it ended up being an incredibly intense and very emotionally charged night, performed with a wonderful sense of complete abandonment.
By the time we got to Streets, Adam had his shirt off and, unless I was hallucinating, occasionally appeared to be deliberately seeking out torrents of water to stand under. All this and a world premiere too, with Mercy being performed for the first time. I was delighted, as Mercy has long been my favourite of the new songs. I€™ve never quite understood why it has taken so long for it to emerge, but these things are often beyond my ken.
It was a wild night and one for the history books. I can hear us saying at gigs in the far distant future: 'Sure, it rained tonight, but it was nothing like Zurich 2€¦'

Wild Zurich 2!
Spot on Willie! I was in the front row between Adam and Bono. If I can criticize anything about your magnificent structure, Mr. Williams, it is that there are certain spots in the canopy where the rain will funnel, or form a river so to speak. I was one of the fortunate who was 'super' baptized by the claw and by the end of the show, was drenched and FREEZING. I think Adam could see how cold we all were and left his shirt off in solidarity - a kind of, I know you are cold and I will share it with you. Despite the crazy conditions, the band brought it and the crew couldn't have been more amazing. Mr. Murphy was kind enough to get me a towel to try to stop my uncontrolled shivering! What a night, thanks to you alll! - Beth A.

text: HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: <snip> I have sat here and read how drummers and dancers kill a bardic circle, but what about the so-called bards that have to tell long boring stories that last as long if not longer than some of the drummers? or the singer that can hardly carry a tune? those things too will kill a bardic circle, Gunnora says: Yes... but usually these do not alter the overall mood of the circle as much as the one volume, one speed, one mood drums can. The long boring/tuneless bard problem is one reason I always have enjoyed group singing in bardic circle... and I don't mean your formal "This is a bardic circle where we will all compete." I mean the fun ones that spontaneouly form around a campfire, around some seats on the edge of a listfield, or even in the middle of an empty field with nothing but the singers. HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: I have seen many a drunk bard that didn't know when to quit, or the one that insists on finishing every ones stories for them. Gunnora replies: I believe that when one is beset by an attack bard, they can be politely if firmly encouraged to stop, or light-heartedly teased into stopping, or simply asked to go back to their tent and sleep it off NOW. And if said attack bard won't listen, that's what axes are for. HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: Yes it is easy to point to the drummers and dancers and say "it is all their fault that the bardic circle died". They are the loudest and flashiest, and yes there are people out there that should never pick up a drum. Gunnora says: If the drummers have the consideration of a dead skunk, they will not monopolize a circle no matter how much fun they are having. It is simply wrong to stroll up to someone else's circle and take it over (drummer OR attack bard). If you want a drumming session, why not start one on your own turf, then you call the shots? Tell drummers early in the day you'll be hosting a drumming circle, invite the dancers etc And if you do come to someone else's circle, if you are being considerate, you will take turns, not play for more than five to ten minutes (with ten to fifteen minute breaks, or a shift to "accompanyment" mode to allow singers to sing and talespinners to yarn.. HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: But if you try to stop the drummers and dancers because you don't like it, then the next step is to only let those who CAN bard stand up and do their thing.... Gunnora said (looking over her glasses and frowning): My lady, no one said that the drummers and dancers had to take a long walk off a short pier. You have taken the suggestions made, filtered them through indignation, and your answer has come out in this sentence like the outraged squawk of a stepped-on broody hen. Drummers are a good thing, in moderation. They are even a good thing, in excess, if they have made arrangements to do nothing but drum without wrecking someone else's circle. I personally get very tired of the DOOM DOOM TEKKA TEK over and over and over, it is true. And there's nothing as obnoxious as having to listen to five hours of bad drumming and bad dancing and accompanying leering drunks, especially when this all takes place after 2 am. As I mentioned before, if the drummers don't want a bad rap, they need to take steps to go beyond the dreaded DOOM DOOM TEKKA TEK. They need to show courtesy to other performers. But why should we allow rank novices at drumming to do their learning on our recreation time? We absolutely would NOT allow a novice tuba player to interrupt our circle and start honking really loud random notes on the tuba. We wouldn't want someone to practice their beginners scales, off-key, on a violin during our events where no one can get away from the dead cat noise. Beginning drummers need to practice on their own time, or as I mentioned, if they want opportunities to learn from other drummers at events, either (1) make a drumming area for this activity or (2) do drumming during the day, before nightfall so that their mistakes and one rhythm doens't drive everyone nuts during the quieter circles in the evening.. HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: Most of us only get to drum or dance at events, Gunnora says: I beg to differ. People get to drum or dance at home while practicing. People need to do a lot of drumming at their homes, in their own living rooms etc. so that when they do drum in public they are bearable. No one would allow a beginner with any other instrument to assault our ears the way we regularly have to be assaulted by novice drummers. DON'T do all your learning and practicing at events!! Do it at home! Practice with tapes of medieval/middle easter music. Tape yourself and listen to what it sounds like. Invest in an inexpensive metronome and find out if your idea of rhythm has any relationship to the real world. HL Gwendolene McIver, CSM, CIM said: just as some bards only get to sing or tell stories at events, unless they are competing why can't they just take turn or go to separate ends of the event site, and those who want to bard can bard and those who want to drum/dance can do that. No one is forcing you to be around what you don't want to be around, you always have the opportunity to leave and go elsewhere in the camp. Gunnora answers: We aren't discussing competition circles, here. For one thing, those almost always have a moderator, and entries are almost always timed to some extent. As for "not being forced", well, that is so. However, I have on at several occasions had a bardic circle at MY OWN CAMP invaded by The Drummers Who Would Not Die. Where do you go then? You're already "at home" but if you thought you were going to bed, forget that feeble dream. And you know, the really drunk drummers are hard to get to leave. It can be done, but you have to be a really rude asshole (even ruder than the drummers) to get their attention in this instance (or resort to the bad bard axe, as mentioned above). This is why I think that drummers (and other performers) need to be sensitive about what and where the circle is! You know, when I first got in the SCA, it was customary to ask permission to enter a camp that was not your own, at the very minimum to call out "Hail the Camp! May I enter?" This allowed introductions to be made, and people knew who the guests were and who the host/s were. It might be a good idea to practice asking that question when entering a circle. If you will be drumming, it is only polite to ask whether *this* circle will be a good place to share your skill. If the people there tell you that no, this is a laid back, queit circle, or a talespinner's group, or whatever, don't argue. Find another venue in which to exhibit your own skills or stay and enjoy the skills of others.

We hate sale listings without stated prices, but how often do you find an Austin America with an American V8 protruding halfway into the passenger compartment? This one is built for the quarter mile, but we almost wish that it could be a British alternative to a Renault R5 Turbo. Find it here on Craigslist in Nashville, Tennessee.
Austin 'Murika'. I love it.
Look, this guy is not the first to pay more attention in shop class than in English. But considering the awful errors that I see on this and every other board on a daily basis, criticism of the ad has been excessive and the grammatical errors mean nothing about the car.
It is what it is – a cruiser for the drive-in scene, built in the hot rod tradition of a small, lightweight car w/ too much V-8 motor. Wussies afraid of ending up on the roof need not apply.
Using the car labeled 'America' as the basis shows, I think, a sense of humor.
The build looks pretty clean and it sounds as though he will entertain most any reasonable offer. I suspect that he is exhausted from trying to sell it and understands that only a special few will be interested in it. He probably has at least the $15K into it and was hoping to break even, and since no one nibbled at that price, he's looking for anyone who is interested in it to contact him before he scares them off with another high asking price. I too am curious what he would really take for it?
Frankly, I like it. I think it would make one heck of a cool toy. But right now, I'm not in the market for any new toys.
Austin America?
More like Awesome America!
hey al, you have NO idea. it will not roll over on it's head at all. drove a mini (a friend's who jammed it in about 25 yrs ago) with a 400 cu in it. same deal….basically, you sat in the back seat and leaned your arm on the transmission…no drivetrain to speak of!….all those guys with mustangs and camaros and firechickens had NO idea what they were for! it was basically stock….didn't look anything like this hotrod.
and let me tell ya, it didn't roll!
…then there was his Fury…..
(we were young and dumb)
"…shot me an offer…"
The is guy is selling this to buy a rubber truck.
Bunch of complainers. For the right price this could be kinda fun/ny. Reading the comments on this web page one would think that 95% of the people commenting are absolute masters of every craft automotive.
~ no detail about the engine build, no description of the undercarriage, no price, no thanks.
RE: "mid-engine", technically it is ("front-mid engine"), but putting that engine/tranny combo behind the seats is another kettle of fish. I've seen it in a Mini commercial van, which has a shorter wheelbase than the AA, (~9″) but the seating position is also a bit forward of that in the AA.
Northstar/FWD or a SBC/Fiero tranny combo would be the ticket for what's suggested.
As someone who used to ride around in a less sanitary version, 289 IIRC, this would be nothing but slightly scary fun, which I think is the best kind. Great fun to rev next to ricers, for example, esp. when they rev first.
Never got close to being on the roof, but it would lift the front wheels. Version I rode around in was fairly stock inside, just that the front seats were halfway to where the rear seats used to be.
It took us a lot of places and was even used as a work vehicle for a while. Reliable, those 289's.
I've gotta say that the few pictures seem to show a very sano build. Not my cuppa, but can't seem to develop the same state of rage as some. A guy who has a personal vision and the skill set to pull it off?–sounds good to me.
Will agree with the 'make an offer' consensus tho, pretty lame.
Agree also with 'Varjak' that mid-engine would have been my choice, but again, I'm not the builder.
I believe I've seen this here on BaT before.
It reminded me of the automatic of my Mom's that I thrashed n' trashed back in 1969.
@Tom R – That would be:
The get-up-and-go of the VTEC with the room of the America. Great idea for a premium commuter car.
The term "ProStreet" says most of what someone should need to know about the build here. The majority of cars put together following the concept of having an insane street car will never see a drag strip, because they are not engineered well enough. With the weight, profile, and power of this car, in theory the 1/4 mile could be run in only a few eye blinks. But it might well be on it's roof through the timing lights if that were attempted.
So, with the idea being that it will never be run at much more than legal highway speeds, this is really a cruise night special, showing up at the local gathering spot on a summer Saturday night.
I too abhor a Craigslist auction. The seller is not serious about letting it out of his hands, unless someone offers well more than what he has in the car. How likely is that?
Of course mine had that awful automatic & a bodged up carb that I could never get right. I bet this one had an auto originally too.
Ted; I had a stock one 30 some years ago. It drove great till it didn't, which was most of the time.
Any comparison to a go kart is an insult to the go kart. A go kart possess the ability to turn as well as go in a straight line. In terms of vehicle dynamics, it looks like the build went about as far as the writer's mastery of the English Language.
Bring A Therapist
Mini Ha Ha (sans pigeon sucker)
Jess & Pete C – Sadly, he probably did proof read it and found nothing wrong with it.
@Jess Loquin:
I agree, but don't dismiss the important information contained in a listing like this. What the lack of concern about properly writing little more than a single line of text tells me is that, although the seller might be good with his hands and speed catalogs, he's probably not someone I want to buy a car from.
The British alternative to the Renault 5 turbo does exist.
It's the Austin/MG Metro 6R4, a groupB homologation silouhette car that won a number of rallies in the 80's, notably with Didier Auriol driving (he won the French Rally Championship with it).
SBC…Oh wait, never mind.
@Steve in podunk,
How would you drive yourself crazy keeping a stock one functional? The A-Series Austin is pretty bullet proof, and they made a hand full of these similar things, called "Minis" I think, so there's a little after market support too!
I shall call it "The Beast". This makes infinitely more sense then driving yourself crazy attempting to keep a stock one functional.
I figured there would be a lot less Austin left. I see some door cards.
I'm not sure I'd want to change the spark plugs on this one.
I'd like to see Basil Fawlty try to beat the crap out of this one!
Wish it could be a "British alternative to an R5 Turbo"? What about an MG Metro 6R4? For example, http://www.coys.co.uk/showrooms.php?itemID=921

How long should I meditate each day?
I often get asked variants on the question, "How long should I spend meditating each day, and is there any benefit to meditation if you can't manage forty minutes?"
Some people notice distinct psychological benefits in the forms of reduced stress and greater happiness with only ten minutes of meditation daily, although most people seem to require around twenty minutes to experience benefits.
One well-known study trained people in meditation for eight weeks. The participants, who were new to meditation, ended up meditating for an average of 23 minutes a day. At the end of eight weeks their brain activity had measurably changed, and they showed much higher activation of parts of the brain that are associated with feelings of well-being and less activation of parts of the brain associated with stress. And they were found to have an improved immune response as well. That's after just 23 minutes a day, on average.
Through my own experience I've found that any amount of meditation is better than none. One those days where, for whatever reason, I've only been able to meditate for five or ten minutes, I've found that my mental states can change perceptibly over that period of time, and that the benefits persist throughout the day.
So my advice is, just do it. If you can only manage twenty minutes a day, do twenty minutes. If you can only manage ten, do that. If three minutes is all you have, then spending three minutes is much, much better than not doing so.
And just do it every day, and have a minimum commitment for yourself of something like five minutes a day..
The amount of time you'll have will vary. You might meditate on a regular basis for 20 or 40 minutes, but then have one of those days where you just don't get a chance to sit until last thing at night, when you're so tired you think you're going to fall off your cushion. So sit for at least five minutes. You'll maintain a sense of being committed to your practice no matter what, and you'll feel better about yourself. And even five minutes makes a difference.
What about a maximum? Obviously for most people time available for meditation is a limiting factor. On retreat we might meditate for five, or six, or ten hours a day. That's hardly feasible for most of us in our daily lives, but it's worth experimenting with doing more practice and seeing what effect it has. I find that if I meditate for more than 90 minutes over the course of a day, there's an extra "kick" from the practice, and a deep sense of joy comes into my life. I don't expect that this length of time will apply for everyone in the world, but I expect that there are "tipping points" past which meditation has extra benefits, and that that's true for most people, even if the magic number isn't always the same.

Hello! This is PRITHWISH SAHA from INDIA.I'm 27 yr old guy,pursuing MBA. I must say thanks for such a nice column & I hope it works for me too. I'm totally new to it. & I'm very much like a scatterbrain. I know I badly need to devote time for meditation but then I get too lazy to such a commitment. I will keep meditating for 5 mins on a daily basis. And would give u a feedback a month later.

HTC Unlocks Bootloader For All of Its Devices

An anonymous reader writes "HTCDEV announced today: 'HTC is committed to listening to users and delivering customer satisfaction. We plan on releasing the updates that will allow you to unlock your bootloader in the coming months.' However, they do note this: 'It is our responsibility to caution you that not all claims resulting or caused by or from the unlocking of the bootloader may be covered under warranty,' and this: 'We strongly suggest that you do not unlock the bootloader unless you are confident that you understand the risks involved.' This looks like a new year gift to some."

Tim Rutili and his band Califone craft a hallucinatory, moonshiny sort of folk music that pilfers from Americana's attic without ever feeling like a period piece. What sets singer-guitarist Rutili--and his other ex-Red Red Meat pal, percussionist Ben Massarella--apart from the rest of the banjo-wielding hipsters is the way they marry loops and electronic whirrings with more traditional instruments. Best of all, Califone's overall vibe is subtle and unshowy, achieving a near-seamless sort of soft-rock beauty. Even when the group tries to get weird, it ends up sounding sweet--like hillbilly angels loosed among us mortals for a limited time.
