Time Passes Photographically in Boston
Byron Wolfe of Chico, California, created his book Everyday: A Yearlong Photo Diary (Chronicle Books, 2007) by photographing an ordinary event every day between his 35th and 36th birthday. The images range from a bite taken out of a plum and a quilt hanging on a line to a child's toy horse lying in the grass and the contents of a refrigerator.
Photographic Resources Center curator Leslie Brown might have included any number of other photographers whose work deal with the passage of time and light. Just a few blocks away, in fact, the Bakalar Gallery at Massachusetts College of Art is currently (through December 6) featuring William Christenberry Photographs: 1961 to 2005, a retrospective of 58 photographs by the legendary Washington, D.C. photographer, painter, and sculptor who has been returning to his birthplace in Hale County, Alabama, almost annually since 1968 to record the changes (and sometimes the lack of change) in the rural South. Christenberry's photographs of modest Southern buildings over time have become an iconic statement about the passage of time in a place time forgot.

The twisted tale of a male stripper from San Antonio who became Miami's biggest porn star before being accused of murder and torturing a teenage beauty queen.
John Snavely was raised on the bad side of San Antonio, but he did have some assets, like a large penis and a willingness to use it. From dancing at Alamo City gay bars, he got recruited to star in gay and straight porn in Miami, earning big cash, taking the best drugs and being chased by members o ... More >>

Video: Joseph Fauria's touchdown celebration dance is the whitest dance of the young season
Detroit Lions tight end Joesph Fauria is an undrafted rookie out of UCLA, so you'll have to excuse his first touchdown celebration dance.
The guy was beyond excited to notch his first TD, as evidenced by his touchdown face on the sidelines.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
Very Nice Product, easy to order and install.
Installed two shades in two bedrooms. the light filtering through them is soft and lovely and they were very easy to install and operator.
Greatblinds , easy install, just remember these are light filtering not darkening.
I purchased 12 of these blinds and 10 of them were excellent in construction & appearance but the last 2 of the 4 that I purchased for some reason were made completely different than the other 10 and were sent from a different company (selectshops ?) and
took longer to arrive to me. The metal used on these 2 blinds were cheaper, the cord lock broke on 1 of them after the 1st day, and the other will not stay attached to the window frame. If it were not for these problems I would have given 5 stars for all ratings,
because I have absolutely no problems with the first 10.
Shipped on time with the most excellent packaging ever. Installation was a snap and they fit perfectly.
SelectBlinds' affordable Single Cell Light Filtering Shades are a great value for the price - custom built to your specs, and some of the widest widths available! The thick, soft spun lace fabric absorbs sound and helps keep rooms cooler in summer and warmer in winter, saving on energy bills. The large ¾" pleat is the perfect size for any window – large or small. These durable single cell shades are available with the most popular options, such as cordless and top down/bottom up, to name a few. Be sure to check out our complete list of options. All Select shades include color-coordinated rails and components for a custom designer look. As with all of our products, these shades come with free shipping and a limited lifetime warranty.

AfterEllen.com's Gift Guide for the Gay Girl 2013
She can discuss the similarities between French New Wave and Dogme 95 until night gives way to pale morning light. She's made you stand on the sidewalk for hours, more than once, to be first in line for the latest big-screen installment of that series she loved as a book first. And she has no bigger smile than the one she gets right before the theater goes dark and the screen gets bright.
1. Movies, duh. Sure, everyone has the lesbian movie classics. (No, Virginia, that's not an oxymoron.) But dig deep, deep into the LGBT library and find some obscure gems. How about documentaries? Or small lesbian-produced independent films? Or, expand her virtual library with new releases like Concussion or Cloudburst with digital downloads thanks to Wolfe Video. ($6.95-$19.95)
2. Minimalistic Movie Posters. Give you movie fanatic one of these fantastic minimalistic posters from her favorite film. Sure, you could get her the real poster. But nothing is quite as cool as these stripped-down representations of what makes these movies so masterful. From Harry Potter to Finding Nemo to Star Wars, there's plenty to choose from. ($12-$18)
3. Do-It-Yourself Lesbian Scene Memorabilia. Never mind the pre-packaged stuff. Show her you care by making your own custom gift to showcase her favorite lesbian movie scene. Pour your favorite honey into a Mason jar and label it "Bee Charmer." Design a T-Shirt that declares "You're a wanker No. 9." Or send her to falconry school. ($10-$2,750)
4. Streaming Movie Subscription/Gift Certificates. Sure, stale popcorn smell and that guy who won't stop texting next to you make the movie theater experience fun. But sometimes a girl just wants to watch a movie in peace on her couch and make her own damn popcorn. And, there are options from Netflix to One More Lesbian. ($3.99-$7.99 a month)
5. A Big Bowl of Pasta. Because you're going to need it to fuel your night of processing Blue Is the Warmest Color. You'll want to carbo load to discuss all those Big Lesbian Feelings the movie brings up. And, considering how much of the stuff they eat on screen, you'll probably be hungry for some. Might I suggest any of these pasta brands, that haven't expressed their distaste for LGBT people. ($5-$10)

A panel of budget experts will meet to estimate tax collections for Iowa's current fiscal year.
The Revenue Estimating Conference is scheduled to meet Friday. The three-member panel includes the governor's top budget adviser, the financial adviser to the Legislature and an independent member, Mason City economist David Underwood.
The group meets several times a year to project how much the state will collect in taxes. In December, they projected the state's revenues would grow by 3.3 percent in the fiscal year that ends June 30. That's about $6.5 billion in revenue.
The projections from the conference are used to draft the state budget.

- Release Date: Jul 15, 2008
- Summary: Zuma is a fast-paced action puzzler requiring quick reflexes and pattern-solving strategy as players rotate the stone frog at the center of the screen to shoot colored balls into place. Make sets of three or more balls to succeed – and don't let the chain of balls reach the golden skull. Heavy Weapon is a light-hearted side-scrolling action game in which players strive to defeat hordes of enemy armies in the form of tanks, jeeps, fighter jets, helicopters and other land and air vehicles. Power-ups and secret weapons that provide additional speed, shields, firepower and more help the player overcome increasingly nasty enemy forces and bosses while progressing through levels representing the oppressed (fictitious) countries over which the war is being waged. Multiplayer modes available for the PlayStation 2 version of the game enable players to join a friend for furious shoot-'em-up fighting in multiplayer Arms Race and War Party modes. In addition, PopCap Hits Volume 2 provides exclusive behind-the-scenes access in "The Making of a Classic." Explore early game concepts, high-res game art, and video clips featuring development history and tips from the games' creators. [PopCap Games]… Expand

I understand the draw of playing Zuma and Heavy Weapon -- I dig'em -- but I can't fathom buying them on the PS2. You can play these titles on your computer where they'll be free and better looking.

Police on both sides of the river are looking for drivers who left the scene of their one-vehicle accidents Saturday morning.
The first one happened at North 29th Street and Avenue A in Council Bluffs shortly after 2 a.m. The driver apparently lost control and slammed into the light pole. The force of the collision was enough to activate the air bags in the car and break some bottles of beer inside the vehicle.
The second crash occurred minutes later at South 48th and J in Omaha. An SUV driver also struck a light pole and didn't stick around for police to arrive.

Snooki to President Obama: You're a Liar!by Free Britney at . Comments
Snooki is upset with President Obama, and not because of foreign policy, health care reform or even the tanning tax she whined about in the Jersey Shore premiere.
She thinks he dissed her on TV.
During Obama's visit to The View, he said he didn't know who Snooki was. Hard to blame him for trying to dodge that one, but in May, POTUS joked that the Jersey Shore star and her cohorts should be excluded from that very tanning tax.
"I know he knows who I am," Snooki told E! Online this weekend. "Why did he have to lie and say he didn't know me? He did say Snooki and JWoww about the tanning stuff and now he doesn't know who I am? He has to stop lying."
Looks like Barack's down one voter in 2012.
KISS OFF: Snooki wants the President to stop the lies.
As for New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slamming the MTV series for tarnishing the Garden's State's image, Snooki, who is actually from N.Y. State, simply said:
"He needs to come over and have a hot dog and a Corona and just chill."
But not too many Coronas. Otherwise he could end up arrested like Snooki on July 30. "I learned not to drink during the day and save it for the clubs. Have you ever been in jail? It's not fun. I never want to go there again."
We have, and can vouch for her on that one. Better to wait until at least 4 p.m. before cracking open that first cold one. Maybe she'll write this newfound wisdom down in one of her new books. Yes, that was books, plural.
"One is the Snooktionary with all my sayings," Snooki said. "The other is the story of somebody going to Seaside Heights and everything that could happen to them."
Could make a nice stocking stuffer, Barack.
I like snooki shes very funny and weird.that waz funny when she got arrested.it waz also funny when she told a man who was sitting on the bench where the beach and the man said it rite behind me lol.she a little crazy.
In two years,Snookums will be the passing fad of yesterday's news.
Dumb .. dumb .. dumb .. I don't know who you are either other than hearing your name .. did you ever hear of COMEDY writers? .. They write for MANY people, including the president .. to make him (them) sound funny .. he has NO clue who you are . the writers DID .. they wrote that whole thing .. you are as dumb as you sound .. get a writer cause you ain't funny and maybe, asking for trouble .. FBI type .. I don't watch your show . .I would never watch your show and far as I am concerned .. should be cancelled .. reality or whatever .. all of them should go away .. IF the President mentioning your name made your day . you are as ignorant as can be. He does NOT know who you are . he did NOT lie .. he read what the writers wrote for him so he would be funny . you are NOT!

I never believed all those T-shirts that read, "Why do you think they call it Flori-duh!" For one thing, alligators live there, and alligators have been around for millions of years, so they must know something we don't. Hip-hop mixtapes concocted in swamps probably won't be around as long, but who knows? I've been wrong before. Florida's great hope for the future, besides the alligators, is Cuban American MC Pitbull (who also has a new regular non-mixtape album called Miami with a hit called "Culo" featuring Lil Jon out these days, but never mind). What's he got to say on his latest mixtape, Unleashed Vol. 3? Oh, you know, stuff like: "Welcome to Miami, motherfuckers." "Wherever you're from, represent. Your county. Your city." "Pineapple Life Savers." "Dreads and gold teeth." "It don't make dollars and it don't make cents." "M-I-A-M-I till I die." "The crack game ain't everything it's cracked up to be." "Your feelings are like pussy, so fuck what you feel." "It's like basic math, one cat's gotta get subtracted." The usual.
What I need more of that Pitbull provides us with on his tape: more rapping over the music from "Hey Ya!" More freestyling over the music from "Jump Around." More remixes of "Salt Shaker" where people start singing "Din Daa Daa." More Miami bass where we are dipped and you are dipped and they are dipped in crunky goodness.
What I maybe don't need more of: what-the-fuck bonus tracks featuring dead white misanthropes. Even if I do like the way that "Imagine"John Lennon F/ Pitbull & Nas looks on paper.
John Lennon: "Imagine there's no heaven." (Ha ha! Heaven-hater!)
Nas: "Mothers stop cooking, take off your aprons. Fathers stop looking at every sports station. Take a second and think of every poor nation." (Aw, you a sweetie!)
Pitbull: "We're taught to believe in religion, but religion's the reason that the twin towers are missing."
Last but not least, I'm gonna say it if nobody else will: Playing messages that friends leave on your voicemail is not the same thing as a "skit." Summer anthem that will not be denied, though (at least at my house): the Diaz Bros.produced track "Don't Stop the Rok" It's electro-pitbull F-L-A fun that you can sink your canines into.

Can you cook basmati rice in a rice cooker?
- greedygirl Oct 12, 2008 01:25 AM
I was perusing my Fuchsia Dunlop book on Sichuan cooking earlier and I notice she says that rice cookers are no good for basmati rice. Coincidentally, my Chinese-Malaysian friend said the same thing the other day.
I have noticed that my (Cuisinart) rice cooker is better for jasmine rice than basmati. I've found it hard to get perfectly separate grains but assumed that was just user error. But maybe not?
Cooking rice drives me bonkers!
there is no reason why you couldnt get good results with the rice cooker, but Id say you need to fiddle with the water amount. - the amounts specificed for the medium grain, chinese and japanese rices are too high. Also, basmati is best with pre-soaking and a even a bit of a sautee (pilaf type treatment.) before the water add You can do all these things before putting the rice in the cooker.
Sure. Although my cooker is not the newer fuzzy logic cooker, it just has an on/off switch, I get great results. As jen kalb says, it is best to soak it, rinse, and drain well first, but I never saute it. As for quantities, I use half again as much water as rice - if I'm making 1 cup dry rice, I'll use 1.5 cups water, perhaps a tad less. Comes out perfectly every time.
Do it all the time. Basmati seems to need more water, so in using the "Mt. Fuji" method I go up two fingers and double the water to below the pot. Your mileage may vary.
i have a zojirushi and i just use the regular white rice water levels and it's great. the trick is to really wash the rice well... like REALLY well. i think i do about 5-10 changes of water until it's running clear. then i fill with filtered water, add salt, and cook on the default setting. it makes great separate grains. some people like to add a little oil to the water, too, but i never bother.
I cook basmati in my ricecooker very frequently. I rinse the rice really well, soak for 10 minutes, and then add double the water to the rice, plus salt. After the rice cooker is done, I allow it to rest for about ten minutes, then I immediately fluff the rice. I have found that if I wait and fluff later, the rice gets clumpy---that is the only drawback, because even though you are using the cooker it involves that amount of babysitting. My rice always comes out very nice. I have girlfriends who even do biriani in their rice cooker, but I never have.
I also never sautee the rice.
I just made some last night in my cheap, low tech rice cooker. I rinse basmati in at least 2 changes of cold water, then cook it in a proportion of 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water. It always comes out absolutely perfect. Sometimes I find that it actually gets better if it sits on warm for about 1/2 hour after it's finished cooking.
re: Nyleve
Anyone try adding whole spices (cardamon, etc.) before cooking?
re: vitaman
All the time. I frequently add a few cracked cardamom pods, a few cloves, whole cinnamon sticks, fennel seed, and cumin seed. If I have guests, I'll pick out the cardamon pods, cloves and cinnamon sticks afterward, since they don't soften up entirely. Raisins and slivered almonds are good, too. If the raisins are tender and you put them in before cooking, they'll get mushy, but lend more flavor to the rice. Mix them in afterward to keep the texture and get a pop of sweetness.

Amazon founder Bezos snaps up Washington Post
Along with funding the creation of a clock that will run for 10,000 years, recovering the rockets from the first moon mission, and trying to shake up the commercial space industry, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos today put his dosh into another tricky, long-term enterprise: a print newspaper. The $250m cash acquisition for The …
Debt and pension liability
Instagram, being a private company have little or no debt or pension liability. So the billion that Facebook buys what they think is 1 billion of worth.
Washington Post Media is loaded with long term debt and especially large amount of pension liability. Sure they have lots of real estate properties that Bezo could potentially leverage to pay off, but still, the $250 million doesn't exactly reveal the true cost.
WPM manged to suckered Barry Dillard into buying Newsweek for $1, and Dillard realized much too late that he overpaid due to debt and pension liability. Dillard have sold it to some other sucker.
Re: Debt and pension liability
Bezos isn't getting the real estate - it all remains with the Company Formerly Known As The Washington Post Co. (along with the Kaplan University distance learning and test-prep business, which is quite profitable, and a few other odds and ends including some rural cable systems.) Bezos isn't even getting the Post's office building. He's just getting the newspaper business.
All of the other businesses that are part of the deal are connected in some way with the paper - Robinson Terminal is the Post's newsprint warehouse, and I think Comprint prints the Post's regional papers.
Going to be interesting to see how this pans out.
Make the Neocon Post readable again!
Frack the beltway consensus and imperial goodthink.
Fire those fracking AIPACing neocon reactionaries pumping out war drivel on the front page and in the commentary sections. In particular Robert Kagan and Charles Krauthammer
Re: Make the Neocon Post readable again!
Do you feel better now?
Bezos could start giving away free granola with the Post - I'm sure that would make you happy.
Lobby Vehicle
What he's bought is ownership of the lobbying vehicle most popular with Federal government power players. He's basically purchased the opinion making device for all of the greater DC region and the Federal government.
Editorial policy?
Change? For better, or for worse? Time will tell.
Who knows they might even be "critical" of policy originated in our nations capital? That might be something new!
What can you say?
The dude loves him some money-losing businesses. Should make for one helluva tax writeoff each year.
Citizen Kane 2.0
I like it!
Come, come, Mr. Bezos
Surely you don't expect me to believe that $250M for that kind of access to the Capitol and it's Elites is anything short of a bargain?
He probably didn't want the newspaper. Just the access it gives to "stuff". and $250M is cheap for that. It will have paid (him) for itself in 18 months even if the paper itself can't get turned around.
He bought a voice...
...not a profit-seeking enterprise.
An indulgence of the wealthy.
He'll make a fortune
If Amazon stock is any indicator, Bezos can go public in a year and the more money he loses the higher the stock will go. Just look at Amazon's stratospheric stock price and their abysmal earnings. He could sell slightly sour milk at five times the fresh price. He's that good.

I am a young designer in a post-undergraduate transitional phase (to put it nicely) and am looking for some advice on the next step in my career. I am interested in pursuing some kind of industrial design, environmental design, mechanical engineering, or some combination of the three. I am going to take some courses in these concentrations over the next few years to feel them out a bit before making any big moves. My big question is: what job to pursue in the mean time? Any ideas on a good starting point/base for experience? I'm considering continuing with a graphic design job, but I'm wondering whether there is some other field or job that might give me better broad experience and let me experiment in the areas of industrial and environmental design. Anything would be appreciated! Thank you, Sam

Adams, Enoch send letters
Rest easy, UConn basketball fans.Jalen Adams and Steve Enoch, two future Huskies, have sent their signed letters of intent to UConn.
Scores updated at the end of each quarter. Winner
Not much to say about UConn's performance today.
The Huskies just had a bad offensive game.
SMU's smothering defense was the difference. The Mustangs packed the lane, limited transition opportunities and pressured the backcourt of Ryan Boatright and Shabazz Napier into bad shots and turnovers.
No. 21 UConn (21-6, 9-5) shot a season-low 29.6 percent in a 64-55 loss.
"We won't shoot like this ever again, hopefully," coach Kevin Ollie said.
Here's a post-game breakdown and video:
-- Check out the attached video of former UConn great Richard "Rip" Hamilton talking about the 1999 national championship team.
The 1999 title team and point guard Khalid El-Amin were inducted into the Huskies of Honor during a halftime ceremony. All five members of the starting five – El-Amin, Hamilton, Kevin Freeman, Ricky Moore and Jake Voskuhl -- attended the event.
Hamilton had never attended a game in Gampel until Sunday. He can't believe it's been 15 years since the Huskies won their first title. He vowed not to wait so long before coming back for a visit.
"I'm just excited to be here…,"Hamilton said. Here is special. There's nothing like playing on campus."
Hamilton, who has three young kids, thought El-Amin looked the same as he did during their playing days together.
"Didn't he come into college looking like he was 28 years old already?"Hamiltons aid.
-- An NBA veteran and three-time all-star, Hamilton, 36, looks great. He's on the sidelines right now, hoping to join a contending NBA team for the stretch run.
SMU coach Larry Brown, who had Hamilton on his Detroit team that won the NBA championship, the former Husky can help a team.
"I've been calling people about signing him, because he's never been out of shape a day in his life," Brown said. "Coach Calhoun's guys are so competitive, except for Emeka (Okafor). Emeka is just a talent and the greatest guy and fun to be around.
"But he's not one of those guys that grew up wanting to play every second and every game. But Rip wants to be great. He's such a fierce competitor. I can't believe he's not playing for somebody."
-- Napier looked uncomfortable throughout the game. He didn't score his first points until just over four minutes left in the first half. He converted just five of 16 shots and finished with 15 points and also had five of UConn's 16 turnovers.
Nick Russell's, an athletic 6-foot-4 guard, made life miserable for Napier.
"We have as good a defensive guard as there is in the country in Nick Russell," Brown said. "And we have some length behind him."
In the last two games, Napier's shooting 29.6 percent (8-for-27).
-- Brown and former UConn coach Jim Calhoun are both in the Hall of Fame.
Before the game, Brown waved hello to Calhoun, who sat on the sidelines.
"I'm happy to see him here," Brown said. "He gave me a half-ass wave. I know how competitive he is."
-- SMU (22-6, 11-4) improved to 4-1 against top 25 teams and strengthen its post-season resume.
-- The Huskies came into the game with 13-0 record when out-rebounding an opponent.
Make that 13-1 now. They won the rebounding battle, 36-31. Freshman Amida Brimah and junior DeAndre Daniels shared the team high with eight rebounds apiece.
-- The loss basically pushed UConn out of contention for the regular season title. The Huskies reside in fifth place.
-- UConn took over just over six minutes to score its first basket of the game and never led.
Boatright: "The crowd is supposed to stand up until we make our first basket. It felt like they were standing up forever."
-- Calhoun on UConn's national championship win: "I always thought we were more experienced and we were tougher. … We were just really good."
-- Up next: UConn visits South Florida on Wednesday.
Rest easy, UConn basketball fans.Jalen Adams and Steve Enoch, two future Huskies, have sent their signed letters of intent to UConn.
Here's your post-game breakdown of UConn's 66-53 season-opening victory over Bryant University:
College basketball season is finally here.
Redshirt sophomore Rodney Purvis has been suspended for UConn's season opener against Bryant University on Friday.
UConn coach Kevin Ollie talked about the state of the Huskies during a Puerto Rico Tip-Off conference call on Wednesday morning.
Some notes, quotes and observations from UConn's exhibition opener:
UConn's starting lineup for tonight's men's basketball exhibition opener is out.
UConn's status as defending national champion apparently carries some weight.
UConn junior Omar Calhoun suffered an injury to his right knee during practice on Sunday.
Before First Night festivities started today, UConn dedicated its $39 million basketball facility located next to Gampel Pavilion.
Jim Calhoun may be retired from coaching.But he'll never entirely leave the spotlight.
UConn received a verbal commitment from 6-foot-10 power forward Steven Enoch of Norwalk on Saturday night.
Jim Calhoun has never been at a loss for words.That's a good thing when you're a television anaylst.

Nov 6, 2013, 1:01 p.m.
Former City Attorney Mike Aguirre has released his college transcripts from Arizona State, UC Berkeley and Harvard, a show of transparency as he seeks to be San Diego's next mayor. "The importance of transparency is, in a democratic form of government, the consent of the governed has to be informed by the facts," Aguirre said. "And if the public doesn't know what the facts are, then they can't give a knowing consent to the people who are running the government for them." His release makes him the third of four ...

The government shutdown has posed as a problem for federal workers, non-profits, and a slew of others. While the country begins to clean up one mess and prepare for another one headed its way, the shutdown has brought frustration and burden to young ones who are passionate about politics. Audrea Taylor, a young conservative who acts as CEO of political forum im2moro.com, says the government's inability to get along has led to users on her site to demand a voice. "The response overall initially was frustration." Taylor feels the $17 ...

More than 800,000 people across the county are expected to take part in an earthquake drill this morning at 10:17 a.m. Locations for the drill include San Diego State University, the Port of San Diego and Birch Aquarium. Organizers expect about 130,000 more people than last year. Cruz Ponce of the San Diego Red Cross says San Diego residents are too complacent and unaware of the potential after effects. "What we're really concerned with is the potential of fires current as a result of the quake," Ponce said "Don't try ...

San Diego law enforcement and Mothers Against Drunk Driving gathered at Mission Bay Tuesday morning to announce efforts to battle drunken driving during the Fourth of July holiday. Operation Safeguard, a five-day, countywide effort that begins Wednesday to prevent alcohol-related deaths and injuries, will mean stricter enforcement through DUI checkpoints, roving DUI patrols and harsher punishment for those who break social host laws. Law enforcement wants to cut down on drunken driving incidents that typically happen on holidays. In 2011, the county had about seven drug- and alcohol-related accidents a ...

Bat Country Lyrics - Avenged Sevenfold
Review The Song (166)
He, who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man!
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
I tri-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
The heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
No oasis here to see, the sand is singing deathless words to me.
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
As I-I-I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights will take me to new heights.
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
Mental fiction, follow me; show me what it's like to be set free.
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
These eyes won't see the same, after I flip today.
Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
We look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
Don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man.
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised when things aren't what they seem.
I've known it from the start
These good ideas will tear your brain apart.
Scared but you can follow me
I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

They're just AMAZING!!!! | Reviewer: Metalfan | 9/15/12
I'm a fun of metal music and although I prefer the << clasic >> bands of this genre ( IRON MAIDEN, Metallica, Motorhead, Accept, Helloween ect ), I looooove Avenged Sevenfold beacuse their sound is so fucking awsome!!!! I mean awsome music, awsome vocals AND awsome lyrics. There are'nt many bands nowadays that can compare these three things and make metal music live forever!Keep rocking A7X 'cause there are still some people like me that appreceate REAL music. And for all the teenage girls out there, stop being victims of the trend and start listening to some REAL, QUALITATIVE music!!!! ( I'm sorry for my English, but I'm Greek. I just wanted to express my love about metal music, although I'm a girl).
Amazing in a purely musical sense | Reviewer: qorthdl | 5/28/12
Aside from the fact that this song was based off of "Fear and loathing in Las Vegas," I think musically, this song is an incomparable masterpiece. From the way I see this song, you can roughly divide this song into several different components. Each little blocks of melody combined with intricate guitar and drum parts stand out as unique and yet when they are put together seem to flow flawlessly while never failing to surprise the ears of the audience. I actually became A7X's fan after listening to this song when it first came out when I was in high school, because I was completely fascinated by the complexity of this song. It was definitely nothing like other "pop" songs that they played on MTV. After seeing their music video for this song for the first time I immediately went out and got myself the "City of evil". In my opinion "Bat country" is probably one of the tracks that successfully achieves perfect balance between being complex but incoherent and being melodically pleasing but too simple. Especially because I felt that some other tracks from this album had the complexity aspect but weren't quite there when it came to the coherence of the song as a whole. That is not to say that I thought other songs were bad, not at all.
I forgot about A7X for a while and finally when they came out with the album "Avenged Sevenfold" I couldn't believe that they came back with yet another masterpiece album. I love bands that are willing to experiment with different genre and styles, and are just willing to push themselves further to test their limit. It is such a tragedy that the Rev had to leave us so soon, because I feel like he could have done soooo much more with his amazing talent for A7X. R.I.P Jimmy. His body is gone but his legacy will live on forever in his fans.
Yet another amazing song... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/21/12
I don't think there's a single A7x song that isn't pure awesome... Everytime I hear one, I can't stop playing and singing it. Bat Country is really top class stuff... Insane guitar solos, fierce drumming and a very talented vocalist. I totally agree with the comment titled 'can't help to just love this band'. A7x, please come to South Africa!
can't help to just love this band | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/27/12
They are truly amazing... I started kayaking and play them on my mp3 player every time I'm on the water and there is really no feeling like it.
I especially like the lyrics that go "I'll make a beast out of myself, gets rid of all the pain of being a man." because scientific researchers have proven time and time again that the primary reason for war amongst humanity is due to the evolution within male testosterone levels. It's obviously more complicated than that but you get my drift. And yes A7X did point at the war and U.S troops in the song Critical Acclaim and probably several others.
They are one of the only bands who's style truly evolves in such a unique way. Personally there is not even one track on Waking the Fallen & on Nightmare that I don't just want to repeat to over and over again, and I love all the other albums just as equally. What I also like about them is that they are not one of those overly popularized bands that pose and are over the top in fame and in your face trying to be different. A7X are just genuinely talented and skilled and that's what got them millions of albums sold worldwide. Interestingly I first heard of them by word of mouth back when they had released City of Evil and have been a serious fan ever since. Korn was also on my top list but something about new Korn just puts me off but maybe it's just me. Also A Perfect Circle are incredible. I listen to Mozart and also a lot of New Age stuff so sort of weird like that.
The REV has truly inspired me to learn how to drum soon when I can make enough money for lessons. May he rest in peace and may he be remembered by the world as a true artist. I hope his spirit lives through the band members so they may continue to create such incredible music and tour the world! South Africa especially please!
Ill make a beast out of my self | Reviewer: Johnny Depp | 11/4/11
Anyone else know this song is based off the movie Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas? I had no idea and then i watched the first 5 minutes of it. Fucking crazy but awesome movie, im watching it blazed as i speak
A7X | Reviewer: Nick | 9/23/11
I'm glas there is so many A7X fans on here. I myself am a very big fan. I love them they are in my "big four". Metallica, Megadeth, Judas Priest, and Avenged Sevenfold. The only critcism I have of them is that I wished they had released more albums. But they rock and they are kickass and beautiful I'm lucky I got to see them in concert last weekend rock on A7X we love you \,,/
Awesome song | Reviewer: Anon | 9/19/11
I really like the City Of Evil album cause M. Shadows changes his vocal technique. in the past, he would use more Metalcore techniques like screaming. I think prior to this album, the only songs without screams are Warmness on the Soul and I wont seee you tonight Part 1.
BTW Rest In Peace Jimmy the Rev Sullivan. We miss you
a7x foREVer (: !! | Reviewer: tabby vengeance(; | 7/20/11
avenged sevenfold has been my favorite band for like 6 or 7 years!! (: if anyone ever asked me who do you perfer or who would win i will alwayz and foREVer say avenged sevenfold because they are amazing and everyone shuld like them no matter what kind i=of music they listen to !! (: bat country is one of my favorites but i cant really say i have a favorite because they are all my favorite !!! (: a7x foREVER !!!! (: NO DOUBTS !! :D
fuck mcr | Reviewer: Ahah | 6/9/11
well i used to like mcr a lot more than a7x during 2006 ~ 2008 but then i gradually liked a7x more but mcr was STILL in more favour. and then when mcr released the danger days album, i fucking hated mcr. a7x foREVer <3
Good times... | Reviewer: ~DITD~ | 4/11/11
Okay, this was one of the first songs I bought off of itunes. I always try to figure out this song on the guitar, but I'm not the insanely awesome guitarist from Avenged Sevenfold.
Headache from headbanging and trying to hold some notes out that long...
So, it seems this site is a little behind. (City of Evil is not their newest album... is it? I swear there's a new one...)
A7x vs. MCR? | Reviewer: Chelsea | 2/15/11
Why are we compairing A7x to MCR? They are two totally different bands!
I, personally love them both, but thats just my oppinion. Other people might not agree with me, and that is their oppinion, and I respect that. But, you can say a band sucks just beacuse you don't like the way they sound. Everyone has different musical tastes, and I wish people would stop bashing on bands they don't like.
Support the bands you do like, and leave the ones you don't alone.
Metal = Lifestyle | Reviewer: Petty Officer 1st Class Cable | 1/20/11
i agree metal is not about studs and leather and all that Bullshit (none of the black metal i listen to is either same goes for death metal) metal is a lifestyle as much as it relates to politics and if you just look behind the lyrics and all the angry shit(which is awesome) you'll see the metaphors behind some of the stuff
Music | Reviewer: Amrahadabra ^^ | 12/3/10
Metal is not to wear studs, have leather clothes, playing loud music and so on ..
They are as much about emotion, politics, religions, and other things like any other music genre. Maybe in Black Metal you care about clothes and makeup, but idk...
I personally am not one like that really big fan of A7X, so can not call them the best band in the world, but not the worst band that is... :)
So to say that all metal is about that, then you do not know what you're talking about... :S
Dress how you want, feel a compulsion to have black clothes, black makeup, then you are weird.
But this is just how I see it, is certainly someone else out there who does not think like me!

I really don't care what people say about the music i listen too. Okay so A7X got a little softer... SO WHAT your saying that in order to play metal you need to wear make up and spikes and leather. Personally you have no idea what your talking about because last time I checked The Black Dahlia Murder Is Metal and they don't wear any of that shit and you should probably know that Queens of the stoneage didnt make another one bites the dust.

Yup, this song is most likely about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It could just be about any general bad acid trip though and they just based some references off Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, that idk. But from a trippers perspective, I really wouldn't be surpised if members from Avenged Sevenfold have or do drop acid lol

Contemporary Calgary launched in 2014, the combined forces of The Art Gallery of Calgary and MOCA Calgary.
The AGC was originally known as the Muttart Public Art Gallery. Founded in 1977, when 14 artist associations representing over 500 local artists worked with the Calgary Public Library to open a gallery in the Memorial Park Library. The renovations were funded by the Gladys and Merrill Muttart Foundation.
Over the next 20 years, the Muttart gained a national profile as a leading Western Canadian public art gallery. The Muttart was also renowned for its innovative art education programs.
In 2000, the Muttart built on these successes by moving to two historic buildings in the heart of Calgary's downtown on Stephen Avenue Walk, where the organization adopted the name: The Art Gallery of Calgary.
Today, as Contemporary Calgary, we combine the strong grassroots foundation of MOCA and The Art Gallery of Calgary with curatorial expertise to showcase contemporary art to Calgarians and guests.
Contemporary Calgary is a public contemporary art gallery and a registered charitable organization. Contemporary Calgary is dedicated to presenting contemporary art exhibitions and providing quality art education programs and experiences for people of all ages. Contemporary Calgary does not seek to acquire a permanent art collection nor is it in the business of selling art.
Contemporary Calgary has invested in strict environmental controls and renovations that allow it to host museum-quality contemporary art exhibitions from around the world that have not been available in Calgary in the past. With the installation of strict environmental controls, Contemporary Calgary is now the only non-collecting contemporary art facility, and one of only three galleries in Calgary, with the capacity to display art requiring this level of protection.
With more than 6,000 square feet, Contemporary Calgary is a perfect space to display contemporary art for the community.
Education is a key part of Contemporary Calgary's strategy. Contemporary Calgary provides a wealth of knowledge and experience to help people understand the art on display. Contemporary Calgary offers hands-on, curriculum-based art education programs for school groups from Kindergarten to Grade 12. Contemporary Calgary's education and public programs provide students with an opportunity to discover contemporary art, interact with contemporary artists, and express themselves through art. Contemporary Calgary's public programs are an exciting way for all Calgarians to be on the cutting-edge of what's happening in today's art world. You can meet the people behind the art through artists' talks and gallery tours.
As a non-collecting, non-profit, public contemporary art gallery, our entire focus is helping people discover contemporary art, not generating a profit through art sales.

Soar over the spectacular jungle canopy of Cranbrook Flower Forest on nine thrilling zip-line traverses. This exhilarating adventure includes a nature walk through a lush jungle of flowering trees and an adrenaline-fueled trip across the canopy!
After instruction from extensively trained guides, you'll take a short nature walk to the first traverse platform nestled on the hillside overlooking the treetops and jungle canopy. You'll then soar through the trees on an intricate system of harnesses, pulleys and carabiners on horizontal traverses.
Nine traverses, from 105 feet to 660 feet (31 to 200 meters) apart, have you swinging through the Laughlands River Gorge, a giant valley carved from the surrounding mountain by ancient rivers.
From your bird's-eye view, you'll survey the flora and fauna of this magnificent landscape and learn interesting facts about the surrounding plant life from your well-informed guide. At different points in the tour, you'll even catch a glimpse of the Caribbean Sea.

Very cool! Not just the ziplines, but also the "jeep" ride to the location, and the guides! The guides were the best part, they had great personalities and playfully poked a little fun. Walking back to the shuttle after the last line, one of the guides took the time to show my husband and I some of the more interesting plant life, totally made the tour even more memorable!

Prowler call leads to drug bust in Arizona

A prowler call led to a drug bust in Arizona after police discovered 1,000 pounds of marijuana at a home in the neighborhood.
Officers were searching a neighborhood in Tolleson early Tuesday when they saw a man crouching in a vehicle under a carport, Phoenix TV station KSAZ reported.
They smelled marijuana as they approached the home, and the man then ran away.
Another man also ran from the home, where officers said they found the drugs.
Perfecto Nunez, 30, and Senon Zavala-Meza, 39, now face charges of possessing marijuana, possessing marijuana for sale, possessing marijuana for transportation and criminal trespassing.

Francis Bacon often gathered with the men at Gray's Inn to discuss politics and philosophy, and to try out various theatrical scenes that he admitted writing. Bacon's alleged connection to the Rosicrucians and the Freemasons has been widely discussed by authors and scholars in many books. However others, including Daphne du Maurier (in her biography of Bacon), have argued there is no substantive evidence to support claims of involvement with the Rosicrucians. Frances Yates does not make the claim that Bacon was a Rosicrucian, but presents evidence that he was nevertheless involved in some of the more closed intellectual movements of his day. Various authors have alleged that Bacon faked his own death, crossed the English Channel, and secretly traveled in disguise after 1626 through France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, and other areas utilizing the secret network of Freemasons and Rosicrucians that he was associated with. It is alleged that he continued to write under pseudonyms, as he had done before 1626, continuing to write as late as 1670 (using the pseudonym "Comte De Gabalis"). Elinor Von Le Coq, wife of Professor Von Le Coq in Berlin, stated that she had found evidence in the German Archives that Francis Bacon stayed after 1626 with the family of Johannes Valentinus Andreae in Germany.

The Eureka City Schools District and Eureka Teachers Association reached a tentative agreement during mediation Thursday, after about a year of negotiations over teachers' salary and benefits.
"I think we have a very fair deal with the teachers, and it's one that is financially affordable for the district," said Superintendent Fred Van Vleck.
After nearly eight hours of mediation, the two sides came together.
"We came to an agreement late in the afternoon, and I think it was reasonable," said ETA President Patrick Riggs. "If we didn't think it was acceptable, we wouldn't have signed."
The terms of the tentative agreement are as follows: an ongoing 3 percent increase to the current salary schedule, retroactive to July 1, 2013; an additional 3 percent increase for the 2014-15 school year, effective July 1, 2014 -- possibly longer, dependent on certain contingencies like the district's budget; an increase in the district's contribution for medical benefits of up to $80 per month, effective Oct. 1, 2014 through Sept. 30, 2015; and the addition of steps 24 and 27 -- which are longevity steps related to those teaching for 24 or 27 years -- at 3.35 percent for the 2014-15 school year and continuing under certain conditions related to retirement, effective July 1, 2014.
With the tentative agreement in place, both Van Vleck and Riggs said the teachers can focus their energy back on the students.
"Now the district and staff can get back to being 100 percent focused on the students, and the teachers can get back to focusing on what they do best, which is teaching," Van Vleck said.
Riggs added that the negotiation process was exhausting, and he is glad it is over.
"You're always going to ask if it was the best you could have done because it's people's lives and their families," he said. "I believe, given the circumstances, we did the best we could do. Now the teachers can focus on the students again."
The district will take the tentative agreement to the school board for ratification on April 3, and the ETA will work with the teachers to ratify the agreement sometime this month.

A word from Linger
Linger, the second concept behind Root Down's Chef/Owner Justin Cucci is located in Denver's Lower Highlands neighborhood. Linger's vibrant menu reflects a broad farm-to-street sensibility with a spin on traditional ethnic eats. Design elements can be described as a purposeful contradiction featuring reclaimed boxcar floors, a brick ellipse, a Lite Brite bar top and infinity windows with incredible views into downtown Denver. The food, the service, the story combine to extract a feeling. Linger is like a mixtape, and we hope it connects. We're not trying to reinvent food -- it's simpler than that. We hope to elicit a feeling – like you get when you hear your favorite song.Continued

- Little bit of a letdownDenverlovinfoodDined on 11/22/2014I thought it was ok, but it was kind of disappointing because you hear such amazing things about it. I made the reservation weeks before since it's always so hard to get into and brought visiting guests. I would say everything we ordered was fine but nothing was really amazing like I expected. I like their sister restaurant root down much moreSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always an Ace!mkistDined on 11/22/2014I've been to Linger several times and just love it! They were super accommodating. The manager, Emily, even helped to take care of our table.

- Wonderful!EcoDenveriteDined on 11/16/2014Went here for an anniversary celebration. When the wait staff found out, they brought us free champagne and a signed post-card. Exceptional service all around. The food, and drinks, are consistently excellent as well. I'd highly recommend Linger - try the buns! Good vegetarian selections for those who are interested.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredibly noisyRandymanDined on 11/16/2014The food was good, not great. It was so loud you could hardly hear the person right next to you at the table, like being in a bar on a Friday night. Our waitress was totally out of it, appeared to be really stoned. We would try it again but maybe wait until next summer when we could be out on the patio and hopefully have a better waitress/waiter.
- Good food, good scene.rddtf3Dined on 11/15/2014The food and drinks were delicious! We had an 8:30 reservation and were seated prompted at that time. One of our plates took longer than expected so they sent us a complimentary plate in the meantime. My only regret was not trying dessert.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantasic Food, Service, and Ambiance $$OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/13/2014The wait staff were on their top game. They were polite, prompt, engaging, but simultaneously out of the way and allowing you to enjoy company. The BBQ Duck buns were delicious, the lemon grass chicken potstickers were just as fantastic, and the chili relleno we awesome. The building is stylish and unique, and the fact it's an old mortuary makes it all the more interesting. I would highly recommend eating here. I loved it!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Come here if you are in Denver.eyemacmanDined on 11/12/2014A hidden gem outside of downtown Denver. The staff was personable, professional and accommodating. We were seated as soon as we entered the restaurant. The wait staff was very attentive and made sure that our food would cater to our unique allergies and intolerances. The style of food is a mixture from different cultures and is portioned in smaller plate sizes so that one may be able to sample a wide variety of dishes. The food came out at a perfect pace so that we were never waiting for something to eat. We sent some of our friends from our meeting to Linger and they raved about their dinners as well. Thank you for the great dining experience. Hope to come back the next time we are in town.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Lingering DisappointmentBeccaDined on 11/9/2014Unfortunately, our experience at Linger did not match up to its great reviews. We had reservations for 7:30 and had to wait 30 minutes to be seated, which would have been fine except that we were told twice during that time that our table was ready only to come down from the upstairs bar for it to not be ready. Additionally both glasses of wine that I ordered were very-sub par, not meeting the $10+ price tags at all. The food was also very average for its price. Overly hot sauced pot-stickers, an unspiced masala dosa, and very average fish tacos. The food was by no means bad but definitely not worth the price. Our service was also pretty unremarkable. Our waiter made me feel like it was a chore to serve us.Special Features:

The service I received the other night was simply terrible. Took the waitress almost 15 minutes to take a drink order, apps came out but failed to tell us they were out of one we ordered until another one came, rude, etc.Special Features:
- Did Not Fit the Hypedd1062Dined on 10/26/2014Linger was a nice place to say we have eaten at once. Due to no real assist in request, only decent quality food/service, and a loud environment, our trip did not meet expectations. It was not a place we would wish to go back to it.

- It was OKMelHDined on 10/26/2014We love Root Down and had heard that Linger, being the sister restaurant, was even better. Plus, it's always on the 'best restaurants of Denver' lists. For my husbands birthday, we decided to try something different. The atmosphere was killer! Wait staff was great. Food...meh. Everything we had kept having ingredients that were way too overpowering. It just wasn't good. We kept thinking that the next dish would be better, but it wasn't. They did give him a birthday desert that was to die for. I think we'll stick to Root Down for food, Linger for the bar/atmosphere.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/25/2014The staff was kind, attentive and knowledgeable. The wine was fabulous!Special Features:
- One of a kind menu and vibeLinger2lingerDined on 10/25/2014We had a group of 8 seniors for brunch who enjoyed the variety or offerings and excellent service. Chris, our server made us feel at home and did not rush at all and explained the entrees and made excellent recommendations. We sat at a window table, only to later realize the window was open and enjoyed a beautiful sunny fall day. The menu is very diverse and reasonably prices. I would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous spirit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
