Junior Brown is aiming to excite the fans at Oxford United this season after admitting the chance to join was too good to turn down.
The 25-year-old signed a 12-month deal on Thursday and is in line to make his debut against Bournemouth in the final first-team friendly of pre-season today.
Brown scored what proved to be the winner on his previous visit to the Kassam Stadium, for Fleetwood Town in February 2013.
And after agreeing to terminate his deal at Highbury to make the move south, the pacy wide man is looking to entertain at United.
He said: "It's a great opportunity and one I didn't feel I could pass up.
"I'm excited to be part of a new challenge in a club that's striving to progress through the leagues and a club that's got the infrastructure and a great set of fans.
"It's an opportunity I'm looking forward to and hopefully I can provide some excitement for the fans.
"I'm raring to go and hopefully I can do well and it's a nice little debut."
The clash with Eddie Howe's side, who finished tenth in the Championship last season, will be the last chance for the senior players to impress before the League Two campaign begins next weekend.
But head coach Michael Appleton will warn his players not to make assumptions based on today's selection.
He said: "I will be saying to people don't read too much into the team on Saturday because if you try and read me I can assure you I've got my poker glasses on."
Bournemouth hosted Swansea City last night, so will split their squad between the games.
Despite the opposition being below full strength, Appleton believes it will be a good test.
He said: "Last season they finished just outside the play-offs and did it in a manner that a lot of people are taking notice of.
"They're easy on the eye and play some fantastic football.
"It's difficult to play against, if you give the ball away against Bournemouth on Saturday, you're not getting it back for probably 60 or 90 seconds."
United are without centre backs Jake Wright (ankle) and Johnny Mullins (dead leg) after picking up knocks in the 1-0 defeat to Wolves on Tuesday night, although both are expected to be available for next weekend.
Alfie Potter has recovered from a calf strain and is likely to start.

Ok so we're going camping this weekend. I've never camped over the 4th before and decided to pick up a couple of small flags at the last minute for the campsite. I went into the local Fleet Farm and couldn't find any. Lots of fireworks, but no flags. I spotted a checkout girl that had no customers and asked her if there was a display of flags somewhere that I was missing. She replied "What kind of flags?"
HELLO!?! 4th of July?!? Independance Day??? Any of this ring a bell??? I just shook my head and wandered some more till I found them. If this girl is any indication, the future of our country is burnt toast.
Anyway, have a great and safe holiday all!
the writing is on the wall.
Nobody is paying her to think ... which is probably a good thing.
Question #2: Got any American Flags that aren't made in Red China?
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Oh say can you see......................anything at all?!!
Eh- maybe she had been dealing with jerks like me who spend most of our time looking for pirate flags, or the flag of Lithuania? I stock up on those.
Agreed, altho I love Fleet Farm or Farm and Fleet - the closest I can get to one is Racine - on the other hand my weekend gig is Menard's, and most of us old guys wear the goofy blue vests - then some customer will walk up and ask if we work there. It's nice knowing what you are talking about, it's simply scary how little common sense is used by so few people these days - and these are the people who actually visit a home improvement store.....
Wait, I just said home improvement and Menards at the same time - now that's a contradiction!
Doug - where did you camp? I've camped in most of that lovely state of yours at one time or another.....
That's what I said! Rock on, baby!

Diana is just bursting with a kind of inner grace that this clumsy, often awkward photographer dreams of. And Jason's face just beams when he is around her. Truly, I'm not sure I ever saw him not smiling.
This was one of the most relaxing, joyful weddings I have ever photographed. Diana and Jason created their wedding day timeline with plenty of time for getting ready, photographs, and mingling with guests, so that even the minor hiccup here and there were brushed off with a laugh. They were surrounded by their closest family and friends who drove all the way up into the beautiful Idaho mountains at the Bogus Basin ski resort to watch and support them as they said vows of love and commitment to each other….and then danced the night away with them! I was so glad they were up for heading outside for a few sunset pictures too. The mountains are such an amazing backdrop for this gorgeous couple! You must scroll all the way down because the very last photo has got to be one of my all time favorites! Getting a sun burst silhouette picture has kind of always been on my photography bucket list and this was just the perfect setting and perfect couple for it! So, yeah, when I saw that on the back of my camera I just may have squealed like a little girl. :)
Congratulations, Diana and Jason! I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Quimby's Thanksgiving 2014 Holiday Hours
Wed, Nov 26th, noon to 5pm Thurs, Nov 27th, closed Fri, Nov 28th, …
Published by Conundrum Press
136p, b&w, 7"x10"
"Since publishing his first story in R. Crumb's Weirdo magazine, David Collier has been known for his thoughtful comic essays, often biographies of endearing eccentrics like himself. With his strong feeling for rustic scenery, Collier has carved a niche drawing homely images of grain elevators and abandoned cabins for publications like The Globe and Mail, the National Post, Saturday Night and Geist magazine. Chimo is an autobiographical account of Collier's decision to re-enlist in the Canadian army and go through basic training again at age 40, leaving his new family behind. His goal is to get to Afghanistan and follow in the footsteps of artists (such as Alex Colville) who produced a body of work while serving in the Canadian War Artists Program. It is a poignant account of aging and mortality but, in true Collier fashion, digresses into scenes of jumping rope, kayaking in Hamilton harbour, and the story of his childhood hero, skier "Jackrabbit" Johannsen."

"I purchased these to go with the matching Baptism invite. The card quality is fantastic and I like that I could personalise the message inside."
"I ordered these cards as a gift for my friend when her baby boy was born. I figured he would get lots of baby stuff and this would be something that could really be used. It was a HIT!!"
"Such an adorable unique design! I have not used them yet but the quality is perfect for the promo price I paid. I love the touch of personalization of the baby's name. I do wish there were envelope lining options to go with it. My only concern is there may not be enough room to write a lot but I will just have to keep my thank you's short and sweet!"
"I purchased these thank you cards for my son's first birthday - they turned out better than I expected! I love them! The picture looked awesome, the colors were vibrant, and the paper is a nice weight. These were a great choice!"
"Everyone loved it, went on and on about it and they turned out beautifully. I trusted them to the in house reviewer and they did not let me down. It was fast and easy and convenient! Doing it again right now!"

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
(No Model.)
Patented Sept. 1'7, 1889.
hvezaior fle vz/ja wrr y Aliya UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,319, dated September 1'7, 1889.
Application filed April 23, 1889. Serial No. 303,299. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, BENJAMIN II. BARR, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in VVheelbarrows, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and in which- Figure I is a side elevation of the frame and showing a rear View of the body in the position it takes when the load is discharged. Fig. II is a rear elevation showing the body in an upright position. Fig. III is a front elevation showing the body thrown over to one side of the frame and showing in dotted lines its upright position.
My invention relates to a device whereby the load in awheelbarrow may be readily discharged without changing the frame from its normal position; and my invention consists of features of novelty hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claims.
My preferred manner of construction is in making the frame of gas-pipe and the body of iron, as shown in the drawings; but I do not confine myself to this manner of construction.
Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the legs, which are connected at their upper ends by a brace 2 and at their lower ends by a brace or rod 3.
4 represents a bar connecting the legs 1 with a yoke 5.
6 represents the wheel, which is journaled to the yoke 5 near its lower end.
7 represents a brace extending from the rod 3 to the bar 4.
8 represents the handles, which are secured at the upper ends of the legs 1 to the frame.
9 represents the body, which is pivoted to the bar 4c by means of hooks 10, one end of each hook being secured rigidly to the body.
11 represents a collar on the bar 4, said collar having a set-screw 12, by which it may be held firmly to any desired position on the bar, the collar preventing any longitudinal movement of the hooks 10.
13 represents spring-catches secured at their lower ends to the brace 2. The catches are provided near their upper ends with rings or hooks 14, which the operator may grasp in order to pull the catches back, when it is desired to do so.
15 represents lugs on the body 9,with which the spring-catches l3 engage when the body is in an upright position.
The operation is as follows: As the body is pivoted to the central bar 4, all that is necessary to do when the operator desires to discharge the load is to pull back one of the catches 13 (according to whichever side he wishes to deposit the load) and tip the body to one side, as shown in Figs. I and II, or vice versa, as may be desired. After the load is discharged the operator returns the body to its upright position, as shown in Fig. II, where it is held securely by the spring-catches 13 coming into engagement with the lugs 15.
I claim as my invention 1. In a Wheelbarrow, the combination of the bar Al, supported by the wheels 6 and legs 1, and body 9, and suitable means for connecting said body with said bar, whereby the body may be tipped to either side while the wheel and legs remain in an upright position, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
2. In awheelbarrow, the combination of the bar 4:, legs l,wheel 6, yoke 5, body 9, and hooks 10, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a wheelbarrow, the combination of the frame l, having suitable supports, body 9, hooks l0, and collar 11,having a set-screw 12, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
4. Inawheelbarrow, the combination of the legs 1, bar 2, rod 3, bar 4, yoke 5, wheel 6, brace 7, handles 8, body 9, hooks 10, collar 11, spring-catches 13, and lugs 15, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
In presence of- J AS. E. KNIGHT, M. H. KNIGHT.

Twin Aussie Entrepreneurs Dominate the Australian Beauty Box Market
Australian beauty sampling start-up Bellabox has secured $3 million in funding, it announced on Tuesday.
Australian beauty sampling start-up Bellabox has secured $3 million in funding, it announced on Tuesday.
Birchbox, an e-commerce service for beauty products, debuted its first TV ad on Monday as part of a broader marketing push. The 30-second video shows several women (and one man) sampling beauty products ranging from lipstick to eyelash curlers. The Birchbox website has also been redesigned to make it easier for customers to shop for items featured in the ad.
Birchbox, the popular ecommerce service for beauty products, announced Monday that it has raised $60 million in funding. The Series B funding round was led by Viking Global Investors and brings Birchbox's total funding to date to just more than $70 million. Fortune, which broke the news, reports that the latest funding round values Birchbox at around $485 million.
Birchbox released some numbers Thursday, announcing that -- in addition to passing the 400,000 monthly subscribers mark -- its full-priced ecommerce business is also growing at a healthy clip. Sales quadrupled last year and full-sized products now represent just more than a quarter of Birchbox's overall business, according to cofounder Katia Beauchamp (pictured above). Sales are expected to "more than triple" in 2013, she adds.
Monthly delivery services exist for just about everything -- Birchbox for beauty products, BarkBox for puppy essentials and HelloFlo for "that time of the month." But the services listed above don't cover the needs of geeks and gamers. Enter Loot Crate, a monthly fix of gaming swag delivered to your door. See also: 15 Monthly Subscription Boxes Shipping Essentials to Your Door Loot Crates are delivered for $13.37 (plus $6 shipping) each month.
Enjoy a life of convenience with these services that deliver essentials -- new wardrobes, dog treats, toys for your kids and more -- directly to your doorstep.
After having made over the faces of thousands of women (and groomed more than a few men), Birchbox, a subscription-based beauty sampling service operating in the U.S. and western Europe, is getting a makeover of its own. The three-year-old company is launching a global rebranding, extending to its packaging, website and to its European business. The more than 400,000 women and men who already subscribe to Birchbox's monthly sampling program will notice their boxes look a little different this month.
Take a peek inside the offices of five fashion and beauty companies that are hiring now.
Looking to start your dream job in 2013? Our new Dream Job series will give you an upper hand. We're talking to recruiters at top tech companies like Spotify and Kickstarter to get the behind-the-scenes knowledge about what it takes to get a gig. Don't know much about Birchbox? The company launched in 2010 and has received $11.9 million in funding to date.
Birchbox, a New York-based subscription service that ships customers four to five beauty samples for $10 per month, has acquired Paris-based Joliebox for an undisclosed sum. Birchbox launched in September 2010. Joliebox launched several months later, shamelessly pitching itself as the "French equivalent of Birchbox." The younger startup then acquired mirror service Boudoir Privé in the UK in December 2011, and Glamourum in Spain in February 2012 to expand its footprint.
Dejamor delivers discreet packages to couples with all the ingredients they need for romantic experiences, as curated by relationship coaches, psychologists and intimacy experts.

We asked the hiring managers at seven hot tech companies what they currently look for in new hires. Google, Foursquare and Birchbox, among others, let us in on the types of people they want to join their teams. SEE ALSO: 4 Mobile Apps to Simplify Your Job Search We know you have the goods -- now you know what skills to highlight.
Birchbox, a two-year-old service that delivers boxes of beauty samples to subscribers once per month, is now launching an equivalent service for men. For $20 per month -- twice that of a subscription for Birchbox's offering for women -- men will receive four to five full and sample-sized products from a range of both well-recognized and niche grooming and lifestyle brands. Among them: Billy Jealousy, Costume National, Kérastase and Kiehl's.
While Harvard Business School grads Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna were looking for a business idea, they noticed that the beauty product industry was seriously behind the times on the online retail side. They discovered that some of the biggest pain points for customers included the overwhelming selection of products and the inability to get a hands-on experience with the items before making a purchase.

Summer Bitters Chapter 7August 18th 2011Summer Bitters Chapter 7 by Ember-Lee
I can't remember the last time I went to a funeral. Mum says that I attended a few when I was a kid, but you'd think you'd remember the tears. Or those hollow, lifeless eyes of the family members and loved ones of the deceased. I had never seen Mrs White look so lost before. Earlier, everyone was crowding around her, offering sympathy and support, but she'd rather latch onto the photo of Olivia she was carrying around in her hand.
Fidgeting with my tie, I looked around the packed church, surprised at how many people had attended. From the looks of it, the crowd spilled out onto the pavement with their grievance cards and floral reefs. How many actually knew Olivia though? Did these people really know that she would be cringing at the sight of her face plastered everywhere and that she'd be blushing with gratitude and self-consciousness at the touching speeches? Judging by how they casually dabbed at their eyes or nodded solemnly at

I don't really remember much after Stella's encounter. One minute I'm holding her tiny, shaking frame, the next we're sitting on my front porch, blinking in the early light as Mum drops her suitcase and comes running up to us. Apparently we looked a sight. Stella still had deceased squirrel decorated Chucks, and I wasn't parting with the gnome. We were tousled haired, pale and I do remember the taste of stale vomit around my lips. There were a few phone calls, a lot of cups of tea and enough questions to fill the silence we were giving. It wasn't until we were both tucked away in my bed, covers up to our chins despite the heat, did Stell finally let out a deep, shaky breath.
"Oh my God…Charlie…" she whispered, turning her head to look at me. Staring at the ceiling, I reached across the mattress for her hand, feeling unable to speak myself. "What was that? Is…is that really what you and th
Summer Bitters Chapter 5August 8th 2011Summer Bitters Chapter 5 by Ember-Lee
As the hottest days of summer began to blend together, I found myself staring or walking around the White Crypt more than I should have. Since the girls had challenged our pride and our mental state, the boys and I had been admittedly disgruntled, and fuelled to prove that the ghost existed. It still haunted my dreams, and I found myself waking in the wee hours of the morning, waiting for it to appear. I knew my parents were beginning to worry about my lack of sleep, and Tommy was still shooting me knowing looks, but they seemed to accept that I found it too hot to sleep. For now anyway.
My only comfort in this nightmare was that Wen and Scott were also suffering. Trooping into band practice, I was greeted with blank stares and sunken eyes.
"I hate you." Scott muttered as soon as I sat down.
"Mornin' to you too." I grumbled in response, running a hand through my hair, trying not to take in some satisfaction upon seeing he wasn'

Pounding out its war-cry until the end,
Stifled by a crimson flood.
When struck down, I rise. . .

When struck down, I. . .

Resonant Frequency
Sound, memory, and the emotional devastation of EMA's Past Life Martyred Saints
By Mark Richardson , June 10, 2011
Sometimes albums start to feel like companions. You go from putting them on for fun to putting them on to study them to putting them on to soundtrack your life to putting them on because you want the music in the room with you, maybe even because you feel a little lonely without it. You can lean on these records. And before you know it, you're asking every friend in earshot whether they've heard it and what they think of it because you want them to understand something about you that you yourself might not be quite clear on but which seems vitally important.
Recently, Past Life Martyred Saints by Erika M. Anderson, aka EMA, has been that record for me. At times it's felt something like a light at the end of the tunnel, which is strange because it's filled with bleakness and despair. It's well-noted that music thrives by being two things at once, and this is how life works too, right? Even when you are at your most miserable, there's usually something to hold up. Likewise, great records meet you somewhere tough and show you a sparkle of someplace better.
The track on Past Life Martyred Saints that people have talked about most is "California", a song with an opening line David Berman might envy: "Fuck California, you made me boring." It doesn't really build and isn't really a drone. Instead, it stands in place and brilliantly pivots, as if surveying a landscape, interior or exterior or both. The song references Stephen Foster and Bo Diddley and (maybe) Van Halen, and Anderson has stated that she moved from her home in South Dakota to Los Angeles because she really liked Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle". And even if she said that just as a joke, it suggests someone whose consciousness has been shaped by music. So this song about hope and frustration and desire sounds like music that knows it is music. You can almost feel it listening back.
On most days, "Marked" is my favorite song on the record. I'm not one for literal readings of lyrics-- and Anderson herself has been reluctant to give too much away-- but it's safe to say that it's at least in part about an abusive relationship. The refrain halfway through ("I wish that every time he touched me left a mark"), contrasts with another one at the close ("And I want to get it out, get it out/ I wish I had a hole to get it out"), and together they spell out the paradox of memory, how we want to catalog things so they don't slip into the darkness of the past but also yearn to leave things behind. In the first case she pleads for documentation so primal it's recorded on her body, and in the second she wants to open up her body to let the bad associations out. Along the way there are drugs ("They are making me so sad/ And I can't stop taking them"), those widely used tools for disrupting and distorting the process of memory and changing our relationship with the past. And, as Pitchfork's Nick Neyland pointed out, the structure of the song mirrors the arc of its narrator's thoughts as it moves from anguish to a place where it seems like there may be a way out.
It's pretty easy for me to relate "California" directly to my life since I've moved around a lot, and the feeling of disorientation it describes is so familiar. But I've never had experiences that directly relate to the apparent trauma behind "Marked". But that's the great thing about music-- it can happen on another plane, one far removed from literal experience. You can share things there even without knowing exactly what they are. And one of the things that's most fun about writing about music is figuring it out and trying to render those elusive feelings into words to see if anyone else might understand what you mean.
* * *
I've written a lot here about memory over the years and here's one more: There was a brief period where I knew this column was going to happen but I hadn't yet written anything for it and I didn't have a name for it. And naming things is, of course, difficult but ultimately pretty important. So many terrible ideas came to mind and were discarded and, as time wore on, I started to worry that I wouldn't be able to think of a name I liked. You only get one chance with a name, and you have to do your best to guide things in the direction of associations that make sense.
So I was writing names down and crossing them out while on vacation with my parents in Florida, and I started thinking of ideas connected with science. I like thinking about sound in terms of physics and anatomy: wave forms, amplitude, the miracle that this tiny mass of human tissue that includes a special kind of hair inside of a tube that is curled into a conch shell can translate vibrations into something that can make people dance or laugh or weep or dream. Kraftwerk were also an inspiration, since they so perfectly embody the beauty of combining ideas about science and technology with music. Somewhere around this time, I started a short-lived blog called Ohm Sweet Ohm. It's a great Kraftwerk tune, and "ohm" is such a gorgeous word. Take away the "h" and it sounds just the same but has a specific application: you say it at the end of a yoga class and it vibrates the bones in your face, helping you return to the world outside. So something that pulled together a few of these ideas seemed like it could make sense. And once I started kicking a few of those around, it didn't take long to think of Resonant Frequency. I remember feeling happy when those two words popped into my head. That was 10 years ago, and the first column appeared in July.
The American Heritage Science Dictionary defines "resonance" like this:
Oscillation induced in a physical system when it is affected by another system that is itself oscillating at the right frequency. For example, a swing will swing to greater heights if each consecutive push on it is timed to be in rhythm with the initial swing. Radios are tuned to pick up one radio frequency rather than another using a resonant circuit that resonates strongly with the incoming signal at only a narrow band of frequencies. The soundboards of musical instruments, contrastingly, are designed to resonate with a large range of frequencies produced by the instrument.
Objects have natural resonant frequencies based on their mass, and when they are excited at that frequency (by, say, vibrating air, aka sound) they start to move in concert. That's how sound, at the right frequency and the right amplitude, can break a wine glass.
An image I associate with this phenomenon is the iconic newsreel footage of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. In 1940, after being open for just a few months, the bridge began to vibrate violently in sustained high winds. The vibrations increased and the bridge started to twist and shake and eventually it crashed into the Puget Sound. One of the theories put forth about why the bridge collapsed is that the wind hit the bridge in such a way that it excited the resonant frequency and caused the structure to vibrate. Like that wine glass. And while it was later determined that the Tacoma Narrows Bridge collapsed for another reason, the danger of exciting the resonant frequencies of large objects like bridges and skyscrapers is well known. Somewhere along the way I saw terrifying footage of that bridge-- steel and concrete moving violently like a sound wave and then crashing into the river-and it made me think of the enormous power simple vibrations could have if applied in just the right time and place to just the right subject.
Maybe you know that feeling. Which is not to say that all music-- or even a significant percentage of it-- exists to stir epiphanies. We listen to zone out and to forget and because we don't like the sounds the neighbor is making upstairs. We listen to party with friends and to hear something as we drink ourselves to sleep and because it reminds us of someone who isn't there. Music doesn't have to change your life or have some shattering impact in order to matter.
But the initial inspiration for this column, from which I've often deviated but to which I usually circle back eventually, is about trying to get as close as possible to music that seems to have the transformative power of that large-scale resonance. We might not understand why these sounds grab us and shake us so hard but, if we can get close enough to them, they might teach us something about ourselves. It's why I want to keep listening to EMA's "Marked"; I'm not totally sure I understand why it's stirring something but, by writing about it, I feel like I'm getting there.

Exclusive: Watch Langhorne Slim Perform An (Almost) Forgotten Bob Dylan Track
New tribute album shines a light on Dylan's music from the 80s.
Byon April 21, 2014
Bob Dylan's a legend. Everybody knows it.
There was a period, however, back in the day-glo, big hair, and synthesizer-dominated eighties that his reign as king if wheezing folk was, if not questioned, at least less apparent, despite his releasing no less than eight albums and touring with super group the Travelling Wilburys.
A new compilation album seeks to shine a light upon the scores of lesser known Dylan tunes from that era. By matching modern artists with carefully curated songs, it's a rendition of Dylan you never imagined could exist. From musicians such as Reggie Watts, Built To Spill, Ween's Aaron Freeman, Slash, Widespread Panic, and lots more, 80s Dylan is an ear-bending array of genre-hopping tunes. Here, Langhorne Slim performs "Saved," the title track off Dylan's post-born again Christianity record from 1980.
Sean Scolnick (Langhorne Slim) had this to say about the track:
"It's wonderful to be surrounded by dreamers, but it's very special to have friends who make their dreams happen. I'm so glad this isn't just another straight forward tribute album. That it's all 80s material makes it a bit strange, gives it character and a unique depth that are more fitting to the man himself than an all-star polished review of the mega hits. I might dig that too, but I dig this way more."
Producer Jesse Lauter weighed in as well, stating:
"'Saved' begins the 1980s for Bob Dylan, so that's why I decided to kick off our record release show with that song. It's not on our record but it was a perfect song for Langhorne and not a song you'd expect as a show-opener for a Dylan tribute. It's not even a song you'd expect Bob Dylan to have written, but it happens to be one of my favorites so I hope it introduced some people in attendance or who watch the video to the fact that that Dylan wrote amazing gospel music - no matter how you may feel about this specific period in his career."
