We've all been guilty of pining for nostalgic elements from our childhood. From Lisa Frank to Are You Afraid of the Dark, there are plenty of things from the 90s that most people look back on with a warm, happy glow. Usually when discussing culture from our adolescence, there's one thing that people really like to complain about: the fact that MTV doesn't play music videos anymore. Yeah, it kind of sucks that the Music Television network is mostly compiled of trashy reality shows nowadays. But whose fault is that, exactly? The answer may surprise (and even anger) you!
That's Michael Destiny, MTV's Head Of Programming. Michael knows why MTV won't (and can't) play videos, and he's not happy about it. Because it really is almost all our fault...it's no secret that music piracy has crippled the industry, and it makes sense that musicians don't want to throw money into a useless art. So, sorry guys: it seems that the era of music television as we knew it has drawn to a close. [via Bloody Disgusting]

Sad News From Texas -- Don Townsley, RIP
Don Townsley, a tremendous musician and a truly kind and good human being, passed away earlier this week back in Texas.
If you felt like it, you could make a lot of money — maybe not millions or even six-figures, but a nice sum — if you manufactured a line of serial killer bobblehead dolls.
Tasteless? Rude? Certainly.
But, in this world? You'd sell a buttload.
Which, as an aside, brings to mind an interesting question: imagine the fun you'd have negotiating the merchandising rights for such things! In that context, people have bought and sold paintings by John Wayne Gacy for years. Is there, I dunno, a John Wayne Gacy, Inc.? Is there a big shot art gallery that reps his clown paintings? One of those Klaus people with a ponytail?
In that spirit, would the bobblehead entrepreneur just dial-up the Richard Speck Foundation and ask to speak with someone in marketing? "I have this great idea and I think Richard's family might go for it! Could be some nice residuals in it!"
All of this occurs to me because bobblehead dolls have sorta always seemed to me to be associated with athletes. The bobbleheads are cute and playful; the sporting-event equivalent of a well-loved teddy bear.
And yet I just received an offer to pre-order one of what will only be 1,000 Iggy Pop bobblehead dolls. A company called Aggronautix is the culprit, and apparently they are immortalizing several punk artists in this fashion.
But: Iggy Pop?!
Is this where the Ig-Man is at this point in his career?
The man who once dove into broken glass and shot heroin enthusiastically and smeared peanut butter all over himself, all the while braying that he was a street-walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm … is now a bobblehead doll?
Clearly, Iggy's not the brainiac behind this campaign, but there must be something in it for him, right? On the one hand, I want to say, Jeez, Iggy, if things are that bad, hire a good attorney and renegotiate your royalty rates.
On the other hand, if the demographic of aging Stooges fans has sufficiently mellowed that they might enjoy a nice Iggy bobblehead on the mantel next to the Thanksgiving card from cousin Bessie while they sip a cup of tea and watch the Weather Channel, why, who am I to argue?
I do fear that this is a harbinger of things to come.
I suspect that there are plenty of Music People who actually COULD sell bobblehead dolls — they just didn't think of it first.
I'm talking to you, Kevin Cronin. I'm talking to you, Hall & Oates. I'm talking to you, Kenny "Look at My Creepy Phantom of the Opera Face" Rogers. I'm talking to you, estates of John Denver and Dan Fogelberg.
Finally, I'm talking to you, Celine Dion. I've got room for one more bobblehead on the Bobblehead Shelf in my music room. I'll stick my Celine bobblehead doll right there, tucked neatly between my Richard Ramirez and the dudes in the Wu Tang Clan.
Don Townsley, a tremendous musician and a truly kind and good human being, passed away earlier this week back in Texas.
On Tuesday, I was speaking to Harry Connick, Jr., which is something I do once every 59 years – just like clockwork. For much of our conversation, we were talking about the great New Orleans pianist
I was out of town last week when the news hit that Jack Bruce had died. A few observations:
Have you seen your neighbor's face smiling out at you from a colorful poster taped to the front glass of your favorite Subway sandwich shop?
Sisters agree to disagree on convicted aunt's role in murder-for-hire case

Auto volumes are typically subdued in December as customers tend to postpone vehicle purchases for registration in the new year, according to Religare Institutional Research. "Our top picks are Bajaj Auto/M&M given their continued performance in an otherwise tepid demand environment, and Tata Motors on its healthy JLR outlook. While Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) prices in a likely volume pick-up, its real test would be over the high base of next four months," it said.
During November 2012, two-wheeler sales for Bajaj Auto (BJAUT)/ Hero Motocorp (HMCL)/ TVS Motors (TVSL) declined 1.6%/6.4%/ 3.5% YoY as wholesale dispatches slowed since dealers were already holding up inventory in anticipation of the festive demand. This would have normalised dealer inventory levels. HMSI continued to clock stronger growth YoY.
In passenger vehicles, performance was mixed for Maruti Suzuki (MSIL), as the Mini segment declined 5.8% while compact/super-compact segments grew 7.6%/30%. Growth for Tata Motors/Hyundai/ Ford/Toyota was lackluster, as PV sales dropped 35%/0.7%/28.6%/25.8% YoY.
For Mahindra & Mahindra (MM), while the automotive segment maintained a healthy run-rate, domestic tractor sales soared 22% over a soft base of -4.7% (segment base to remain attractive for next 10 months). UV/pick-up/3W sales were up 38%/7.4%/16.6% YoY. In the CV segment, Tata Motors (TTMT)/ Ashok Leyland (AL) reported disappointing MHCV sales; this, however, was offset by a steady trend in LCVs.

Aton Q
Gr. 0+, 0 - 13 kg, from birth up to approx. 18 months
Aton Q infant car seat
Safety meets Design
Aton Q continues the success story of the award-winning Aton family in Gr. 0+ and scores an excellent 1.6 (good) at German consumer testing organization Stiftung Warentest (Test 06/2014). The ADAC rates "good". The ÖAMTC rates "good" with a historic top grade for its excellent side-impact protection when installed with the ISOFIX base. In the categories safety and harmful substances it received a "very good".
- Telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P. System)
- Automatic height adjustment of the seat
- Height-adjustable headrest with integrated harness guide
- Matching integrated XXL foldaway sun canopy
- Travel system with CYBEX and other brand pushchairs
The interaction of a clever telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P. System) and a height-adjustable headrest with an integrated harness guide ensures the highest level of safety and comfort. In addition a new function enabling the flattest possible lying angle between head, neck and chest reduces the risk of breathing difficulties for premature babies and very small newborns. A matching XXL fold-away sun canopy with UVP50+ perfectly protects against high sun irradation and strong wind.
Telescopic L.S.P. System
Telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection
The new telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection (L.S.P. System) absorbs the force of a side-impact collision in combination with the energy absorbing shell.
The new telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection can be easily and individually adjusted. The very first forces of an accident are transferred by the extended side protector facing the door and are distributed to the car seat's shell. The flexible material and structure of the infant car seat then absorbs the forces of an impact and channels them away from the baby.
Automatic height adjustment of the car seat
for a near flat and ideal lying position
One of the biggest challenges for safety engineers is the best possible transportation of premature babies and very small newborns, whose neck muscles and reflexes are not yet well enough developed. Unfortunately, this can lead to the baby's head tipping forward while it sleeps, which can lead to serious breathing problems.
Together with German medical specialists and midwives, and taking into account the findings of many tests, a new function was developed that enables the flattest possible lying angle between head, neck and chest. The risk of breathing difficulties is thereby reduced. By adjusting the headrest the sitting angle changes automatically and the car seat grows with the child. With this integrated automatic adjustment, the infant car seat also offers bigger children more room and comfort.
Matching integrated XXL fold-away sun canopy
perfect sun and wind protection with UVP50+
For maximum protection of baby's skin, the matching XXL fold-away sun canopy fulfils the stringent, Australian UVP50+ sun protection standard.
The integrated, extra-large sun canopy disappears elegantly behind a colour-coordinated visor. It can be extended incrementally, offering not only perfect sun protection but also protection against wind and rain.
8-position height-adjustable headrest
for perfect protection that grows with the child
In combination with the telescopic Linear Side-impact Protection System the height-adjustable headrest adds to the excellent side-impact protection of the Aton Q infant car seat.
With the new 8-position height-adjustable headrest with integrated harness guide, the length of the harness changes automatically when the headrest is adjusted. This prevents any need for the difficult threading in and out of the harness and makes it almost impossible to misuse.
Travel System
Safety, design and mobility in one
The Aton Q infant car seat can be effortless converted into a travel system with CYBEX and other-brand buggies and strollers.
The design DNA of the Aton Q car seat extends across all PLATINUM products and is also present in the CYBEX buggies. With the help of simple adapters, the infant car seat, together with the CYBEX buggies Callisto, Topaz and Onyx turns into a clever, visually harmonious travel system. The Aton Q can also be combined with many other-brand prams and buggies to form a practical travel system.
Colours and Fabrics
Design, Safety and Functionality
Continuing the CYBEX tradition of having fashionable colours, the PLATINUM car seats come in a great range of colours in two fabric variations.
Comfort version: the soft and cozy comfort version of the Platinum car seats features 10 colour combinations.
Plus version: the Plus version gets its characteristic appearance through an exclusive, very hard-wearing fabric with a twill effect in a denim look. These child car seats are available in 7 different colours.
Kerstin S.: "I do recommend the Aton Q because it does not only look good but makes the little ones feel safe and comfortable."
- Practical ISOFIX Base - Aton Q Base-fix
The troublesome buckling up of the infant car seat is no longer necessary
The troublesome buckling up of the infant car seat is no longer necessary.
In accordance with our safety philosophy, which emphasises ease of use in general and the ISOFIX system in particular, the Aton Q comes with a practical base. The infant carrier can be easily snapped into the base and used without having to additionally secure it with the car seat belt. An indicator confirms that it has been installed correctly. The Aton Q Base-fix is installed in the car with the ISOFIX connectors, providing additional stability and safety. Alternatively it can be secured with the car seat belt in vehicles that do not have the ISOFIX system.
- Summer cover
Made of 85% cotton and 15% polyester
Made of 85% cotton and 15% polyester. Keeps the child comfortable and cool on hot summer days.
- Adapter for CYBEX pushchairs
Connects CYBEX infant car seats with CYBEX pushchairs to create a practical travel system.

Compatible Cars
Is this the right seat for my car?
The installation of our products is extensively tested in the latest vehicles. However, we always recommend a test installation at a qualified retailer to confirm individual compatibility. Especially the length of the vehicle belts or ISOFIX (US: LATCH) anchorage points may vary, even during a production run of a car manufacturer.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- May the infant car seat be used on the passenger seat?
The infant car seat may be used on the passenger seat if the airbags are not activated. The use of an infant carrier on vehicle seats with activated air bags pose a high risk of injury and are prohibited by law. CYBEX always recommends using the infant carrier in the back of the car (if possible behind the passenger seat). Statistically, this is the least dangerous seat in the car. In the case of a front impact collision the back seat position offers more collapsible zone and no front airbags that might pose a safety hazard. If you should need to use the car seat on the passenger seat in the front we ask you to adjust the seat as far back as possible.
- May the child be transported facing forward?
No, only infant carriers that are installed facing the rear end of the car can protect the child´s sensitive head effectively during a front impact. The child´s musculature is too weak to handle the forces triggered in an accident.
- Is it ok to leave my child in the infant carrier e.g. at home?
CYBEX infant car seats have been engineered to offer the best possible protection for a baby during a car ride without affecting the child´s spine in a negative way. However, we do not recommend leaving the baby sleeping inside the infant car seat at home for long periods of time.
- With which CYBEX pushchairs can I use the CYBEX infant car seats?
The CYBEX infant car seats have specifically been engineered to be part of a travel system. An adaptor connects the CYBEX Aton with all fully reclining CYBEX pushchairs (Callisto, Topaz, Onyx). The CYBEX infant carriers are also compatible with other brands of strollers, including Bugaboo, Baby Jogger and Mamas & Papas etc.
- What do I do if my baby´s head falls forwards while driving, even though the Aton infant carrier is positioned in the vehicle horizontally as indicated by the marker?
The marker on the side of the infant carrier tells you whether the Aton is installed in the car horizontally. The line of reference used is the road level. If, for example, you have a small car, the angle of the rear seat may slope slightly, thus marginally differing from the level of the road. If the Aton is aligned to the slant of the rear seat, the infant carrier may be positioned in the car incorrectly and the baby´s head may fall forward. This is why it is necessary to align the Aton infant carrier to the level of the road.
- May I use the infant car seat together with the base even when the airbag is activated?
When using a rear-facing restraint system, it is imperative that the front airbag is deactivated. This does not apply to side airbags. However, please ensure you follow the advice and recommendations of your car manufacturer.
- Is it ok to keep using a seat after an accident?
In an accident the plastic parts of the baby seat may sustain damages that are invisible to the eye yet extremely dangerous. Therefore, CYBEX always strongly advises to exchange the car seat if it has been involved in any type of accident.
- Can I use this child seat on an airplane?
No, this seat is not approved for use on an airplane.

The recent argument that the notion of 'transition' should be set aside in attempting to explain the trajectory of Italian politics in the past two decades is to be welcomed, but does not go far enough in explaining why we, as Italianists, got our case wrong and how exactly we might get our case right today. The transitional 'myth' was born and maintained despite growing evidence of its inherently problematic nature, both in conceptual and empirical terms. The concept of 'transition' needs more serious conceptual treatment and empirical application, but even with this work it is unlikely to be concluded that Italy is in transition. Freeing Italy and Italianists from this conventional wisdom, while, at the same time, not abandoning the idea that something exceptional happened to Italian politics in the early 1990s, will help enrich the debate on the nature of the political change that Italy has experienced in the past seventeen years.

Jay Bhanushali and Panchi Vora won the hearts of millions with their characters of Neev and Prachi in Kayamath. Their jodi is loved and adored by millions of viewers and this has made them one of the most popular couples gracing the small screen. On one hand where Neev�s cute smile and charming attitude made him one of the most popular guys on TV, Prachi�s innocence and sweetness made her a household name.
Today, we catch up with the two young stars and ask them some special questions. Read on as they tell you everything about themselves, including how they got into the show and what they think about the show. Find out the reason behind their successful jodi and hold your hearts as they give very special messages to the people of India-Forums!
If it isn�t his cute smile, its his carefree attitude; Jay Bhanushali, who plays the character of Neev, never fails to make a girl�s heart skip a beat. Here is an exclusive interview with the star himself!
How did you land up in the lead role of 'Neev' in this serial?
Well, actually I was doing ads for many products. One such ad was for Rediffmail. Ekta�s friend and associate saw me in that ad, and probably talked to Ekta about me. Then Ekta called me for an audition, I had to go thro a Mockshoot, and other tests before I was selected. I got a confirmation call in 2 hours of the tests and here I am, before you all as Neev.
If you could change one thing about your character, what would you like to change? How much can you relate with your character?
Frankly speaking, Neev and Jay are one and the same guy. The way in which I would react to situations is exactly the same as Neev reacts.. So if anyone wants to know more about Jay Bhanushali, they just need to analyze my character of Neev.. Neev is just a mirror image of Jay.. I am very happy with my role, so I would never change anything in it.. When I shoot, I don�t do acting, everything I do comes out naturally, because this is the way I am , exactly like Neev.
What do you think its about Neev that makes him so popular among girls?
There are 3 things in Neev that make him every Girls� Favourite. Neev�s Cute smile, his One liners and his style of doing romantic scenes� But first comes the smile..
How is your on-screen and off-screen chemistry with your co-star, Prachi?
Very good yaar.. We both gel with each other to the T. We both are really very kiddish , even in real life. This kiddish behaviour is also shown in our love story too. If you see, our love story is not a mature love story but it has more of childishness involved. Behind the screen, we really have fun and masti, this actually gets reflected onscreen too , this is why our chemistry onscreen is liked by all.
Yes, there was one scene where I had to throw the Dandiya stick behind, without turning back.. So when I shot this scene, the dandiya stick fell on Eijaz�s head twice.. I was shocked.. to see Eijaz giving me an expression �Why always me???�
What is your take on the current storyline (Inder's death on Neev-Prachi's wedding day)?
This track was discussed and decided long time back. So we all knew it was coming. Inder�s death is a crucial twist to the story as now, there will be a drastic change in the lives of Neev and Prachi. Actually , this is one interesting track, I am waiting eagerly to get the response from viewers..
What is it that you think makes Kayamath work?
The chemistry between Neev and Prachi� The whole look of Kayamath, one thing you would notice in this is that all the stars who are part of it are rather young. I guess this new look of actors is the catch point for this serial being a hit.
It really feels good when we get to know that people like our jodi. I thank all the viewers who like me and Prachi.. That�s it..
Any message for your huge (female) fan base on IF?
I would like to thank all who watch me and love me. It is because of you all, that I am here today. Without your love and support, I would not have been anywhere. I would ask all to show your love in the same way and love me more.. I promise to do a great job in future as well.
I always admire and love the way members in India Forums write about me.. I visit India Forums regularly, I am there on the forum every night.. I go through all the posts, all the threads, I read about what girls discuss about me.. I am not a registered member, but I am very active in IF. It feels good to read all the reviews and nice comments made by members on the forum. They just motivate me to do more and work harder.. Thanks for everything.
Actually, I got a call from Balaji, they insisted that I play the lead role. But I was not sure of it as i was doing my graduation then and wanted to finish it. So I refused. Then I went to
If you could change one thing about your character, what would you like to change?
I don�t think anything needs to be changed, my character is well thought. I love the innocence, simplicity in Prachi, that makes her adorable.. I just love playing Prachi.. Everyone tells me that I play it well� She is very Simple and not complicated.. If at all I would love to change anything, then I would like to make her less sacrificing , she is too selfless�
How much can you relate with your character?
I relate very well to the character. When Ekta narrated the story to me, I just fell in love with the character because Prachi was exactly like me� I still remember the words Ekta told me � Be the way you are, Prachi is exactly how you are� Ekta is really happy with the way my role has shaped up, all of us are happy
Do you think Prachi's niceness is her strongest as well as weakest quality?
Yes, it is true that some take advantage of this character in her� But it is also a fact that people love her sweetness, love her simplicity, so probably I will accept her as she is.
How is your on-screen and off-screen chemistry with your co-star, Neev?
He is a very good friend, a very nice costar. He irritates me with his tantrums at times, but he is a great support system too. The atmosphere on shoot is very nice, he is a good person to work with.. I do not like him getting closer to me in romantic scenes.. So he understands this, tries to cover up and helps me out.
Infact all the costars in this serial are great.. Sanjeeda is a very good friend of mine. We both are the naughtiest people on the sets. Shabbir is really good, he is very down to earth. Nobody there has attitude problems and this in itself creates a nice atmosphere on the sets..
Any embarrassing memories on the sets of Kayamath?
Nothing that I can think of� But whenever I have messed up with dialogues or scenes, that gets embarrassing..
What is your take on the current storyline (Inder's death on Neev-Prachi's wedding day)?
This is really an important twist to the tale. I was very worried about my expressions and acting in that particular death scene.. But I was much relieved when my family and friends told me that I had enacted pretty well. This is a big phase in Prachi�s life, her father was everything to her. He was her support system, she was totally dependent on him. But now, all depends on her, she has to take things in her hand.. Till now, her family was just perfect for her, she was happy.. But her dad�s death has changed her life totally..
What is it that you think makes Kayamath work?
I think it is a sweet love story with amazing characterization. All are perfect, Dadi, mamaji, Neev.. All have a unique touch to their character. This actually stands out in this serial. One nice part , working with this unit is that we get to hear the narration of every single scene. All is well thought, casting is amazing. At times, we get even Ekta narrating the scene to us.. We have time to think over a particular scene and then enact it.. all is planned in advance , so we have lots of time to give the best shot. We have the best director for this serial, the creative team is the best..
I was really excited because this was the first ever award I got in my life.. I grew up as a shy person, always a back bencher. I was always scared of people and huge crowds.. I was afraid of camera� So now I feel really happy to have achieved this. I thank Balaji, Ekta and my guruji for helping me out. I actually started to do law, then realized it was not my cup of tea. So I started doing my graduation. But now, I am happy to ask myself a question - why not acting.
Viewers are loving them, we are damn excited that we are being loved. We were into mock shoots 1 month prior to the start of this serial. Our jodi has kind of lit the scene.. Prachi and Neev knew each other from childhood, they were close.. The serial started with the girl loving the boy, the boy not even realizing that he too loved her. Slowly, he understood that he was in love. Both started to love each other then� They wanted to get married later on.. so this transition was really nice.. We understand each other very well, so that shows onscreen. Ours is not the mushy mushy love story. Ours is not the Chaand Taare le aaoonga, kind of love story. So it is different..
Any message for your huge fan base on India Forums?
I thank everyone for loving me and liking my work. Actually I visit India Forums frequently.. I was really taken aback one day when I saw a video made on the section.. It contained all the Best Romantic and Close scenes of Neev and Prachi.. That was so nicely done, I loved every bit of the scenes. Infact all those scenes are my favourites too. This is one particular video link that I remember seeing in IF. My heartiest thanks to all my fans who like me.

» Obama Killing Women's Health Program to Fund Planned Parenthood by Joe Pojman of LifeNews.com
Fighting for Women's Health
The Texas Women's Health Program provides preventative health care to more than 100,000 Texas women, including screenings for breast and cervical cancer, diabetes and hypertension, among other services. First implemented in 2007, the program is being phased out by the Obama Administration.
Under federal law, state leaders are left to administer the program and set criteria for who is considered a qualified provider. Consistent with state and federal law, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission has developed the program to ensure continued access to care by qualified providers across Texas.
The Obama Administration rejected the state's waiver application because Texas law excludes abortion providers and their affiliates, like Planned Parenthood, from a list of qualified providers. This is despite the fact Planned Parenthood represents less than 2 percent of enrolled providers statewide.
Following the administration's decision, Gov. Perry directed Health and Human Services Commissioner Kyle Janek to establish TWHP to continue providing the services WHP provided, until the decision is reversed by Congress or the courts.
Women's Health Program Facts
» The program has been in effect since 2007, and provides preventative health care, including breast and cervical cancer screenings to more than 100,000 low-income, Texas women.
» Texas law prohibits tax dollars from funding abortion providers and their affiliates and has since the program's inception.
» Under federal law, states administer Medicaid and have the right to set the criteria for "qualified providers" in the program, not Washington. This is exactly what Texas has done, in accordance with Texas law. Texas law prohibits tax cheats, deadbeat parents or people suspected of serious abuse from participating as a provider in Medicaid, even though federal law does not.
» There are more than 2,500 qualified providers in the WHP.
» Planned Parenthood represents less than two percent of providers in the WHP.
» Planned Parenthood's cost per client is 43 percent higher than most other providers, according to the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
» In FY 2010, nearly 80 percent of women served received WHP services from non Planned Parenthood providers.

Case Study: The Push For Simple, Cost-effective PCI Compliance
Case Study: The Push For Simple, Cost-effective PCI Compliance
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires organisations that process and store credit card data to achieve certain levels of security, imposing hefty fines for those who don't comply.
In order to avoid such fines as well as damaged customer relationships, RESPONSE (Building Rewarding Relationships), an outsourced contact center services provider, needed to improve its security and amp up its threat protection in order to prepare for an upcoming PCI DSS deadline.
With a wealth of confidential and sensitive customer data, RESPONSE (Building Rewarding Relationships) was looking for a cost-effective, reliable security solution that could be easily installed and managed, but that could also be deployed in time to meet the looming deadline.
Take a look at this paper to learn how the organisation secured such a solution and hear about the benefits they gained as a result.

We all think our dogs are the cutest, but what about taking pride in pooches who aren't so easy on the eyes? 29 dogs competed for the top honor at this year's World's Ugliest Dog® Contest, an annual competition that takes place at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California.
First place prize was awarded to an 8-year-old Chinese crested with the most perfect name: Mugly. The hairy pooch, who hails from across the pond, shared the award spotlight with owner Bev Nicholson. Mugly had already won "Britain's Ugliest Dog" top award back in 2005, so this latest award really is a crowning achievement.
"I couldn't speak when they announced Mugly's name," said Nicholson. "I didn't know which way to look. I was shaking as much as the dog."
Along with a trophy and a cash prize of $1,000, the rescue dog will win a photo shoot, a year's supply of dog cookies and a VIP stay at the Sheraton hotel in Petaluma. Mugly's win marks another victory for the Chinese crested breed. Last year's winner, Yoda, was a Chinese crested Chihuahua mix.
Maybe it's just us, but we don't see ugly when we look into Mugly's eyes. What do you think? Does Mugly deserve the top prize or would you have chosen one of his competitors: Handsome Hector, Creature or Spam-O-Rama?

Eh, not all games on NBA TV Canada.
League Pass will broadcast all Raptors games this pre-season.
What happened to that guy that used to post all those screenshots?
All games on NBA TV?
Follow me on Twitter - @11_RRyan
NBA TV Canada blows. I hope they spread it out between TSN, etc.
Thats why Open Gym is missed by roughly 85% of the Raptor fanbase HEY MLSE NBA TV CANADA SUCKS AND NOT EVERYONE CAN SIMPLY BUY TSN2 TSN SPORTSNET AND NBATC CANADA TO FOLLOW THE RAPS >< seriously why are Raps games spread across so many channels?
They are spread out because the ratings are minimal compared to the NHL ratings. Networks are more focused upon locking down the entire NHL schedule than a major deal with the NBA. So, they buy what they can where they can to fill in empty places.
so the first game against Boston is not televised?
Code:Monday, October 7 Boston @ Boston 7:30 PM ET Wednesday, October 9 Minnesota @ Toronto 7 PM Friday, October 11 New York @ Toronto 7 PM Saturday, October 12 Minnesota @ Minneapolis 8 PM Wednesday, October 16 Boston @ Toronto 7 PM Monday, October 21 New York @ Toronto 7 PM Wednesday, October 23 Memphis @ Toronto 7 PM Friday, October 25 Milwaukee @ Milwaukee 8:30 PM
For some reason I can't access League Pass international website at the moment.. Probably because Nick Young is putting some Kobe numbers.
Can't wait to go to the Minnesota game at the ACC! Anyone else going?
Just double checked, all games will be televised online ( league pass ).
@Raptors tweeted that no away games will be broadcast on nbatv.
ruh roh...does this mean we'll have to wait til wednesday or will the all powerful internet come through for us?
"Even though no one can see or hear the game TV only for home pre-season games, Bostons rather preoccupied with the baseball well try an IGBT tonight if youd like."
Raptors basketball is back! FUCK YES!
In a few weeks I'll be yelling at the t.v. and cursing this team I imagine but for now I'm so god damn happy.
The away games we will probably be able to find on first row sports.
Fuck, I wish I wasn't working tonight and could see the game instead.

Sweet Bernardine
A collection of personal stories and stories of California and beyond, Sweet Bernardine may be Shea's most compelling album yet. The arrangements are spare and simple, based on acoustic guitar, mandolin, accordion and drums, although Shea does pull out the telecaster on a few.
RICK SHEA/Sweet Bernardine
If your tastes run toward hard working, literate, back 40 folkies like Tom Russell, Chuck Pyle, Jimmie Dale Gilmore and others like that, Shea is sure to be another that you're going to dig. With a very personal edge to his writing and singing, this is classic folkie/troubadour stuff that cuts right to the chase and delivers moves that others can only turn into clichés. Check it out, it's the real deal.
– Chris Spector
..halfway between the madness of metropolis and the serenity of nowhere.. Shea's not only one of those California/SouthWest people, he's their emotional and psychological cartographer.. prepare to have your heart torn out..
- Mark S.Tucker, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange FAME

Out of 26 million Texans, you may have an idea to change the world. You may have had several ideas to change the world. But only a tiny minority of you pushed through the U.S. Patent office from application to successful patent. We've seen Texans change the world many times over. Jack Kilby did it with Texas Instruments in 1958 with the integrated circuit, causing the start of the digital revolution, which, in part, is why you can read these words over your electronic device.
Over the last few years, Texas Business has brought its feature: Texas Business Patent of the Day. This list is of the ones that were either extremely clever, odd or strange. One thing becomes apparent from these patents and the patent that runs daily in Texas Business—Texans have a unique mind set.
Though the history of the Corn Dog is disputed, the State Fair of Texas claims to have introduced the Corny Dog sometime between 1938 and 1942. As a paean to that invention that now sits in the freezer section of every grocery store in the southwest, here are the fried foods the State Fair of Texas has introduced, or tried to introduce, in the last seven years.
Dead Texas musicians live on every time you hear their songs. Their songs play everywhere, so the dead Texas musicians appear to be immortal. Here's the short list.

The short simple list.
Nothing to agonize over. Simply the best.
Texas Business reports: COLLEGE STATION – In 2011, Midwestern producers were shipping hay to Texas as the state faced unprecedented drought and forage shortages, but don't count on East Texas to return the favor this year as the Midwest undergoes its own drought, said a Texas AgriLife Extension Service expert.
Though it's possible some East Texas producers could ship hay north, it might not happen for a number of reasons, said Vanessa Corriher, AgriLife Extension forage specialist.
"Anything is possible, but I'm not sure (East) Texans will be comfortable doing that even with the rain we had this year," Corriher said. "I think we're just running a little scared."
Thanks to timely rains, much of East and North Texas had reasonably good hay production in 2012, she said.
As of July 24, about 30 East Texas counties comprised the only part of Texas not rated in either extremely dry or in one stage of drought or another, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. Early Drought monitor reports show better moisture conditions for the Central Texas. Associated with the better conditions were some good hay yields, according to Corriher.
But though hay stocks are up, prices high – ranging from $60 to $100 per bale – and stocking rates down in parts of the state, Corriher said she expected most producers east of Interstate 45 to be cautious and hold on to what they have.
"A lot of our producers, whether they had livestock or were strictly into hay production, depleted a lot of their stocks last year," she said. "I think the attitude this year has been to rebuild those stocks – to refill those barns they emptied last year – and try to prepare themselves for winter feeding. And there's always the potential for another extended drought in Texas."
District reporters compiled the following summaries for the 12 extension district.
Central: Most counties remained very dry. The corn harvest was finished, while the grain sorghum and sunflower harvests continued. In some counties, there was a lot of hay being made but not much being sold. Conditions varied widely, even within counties. For example, in Bosque County, some pastures were brown but two miles away grass was green and cows were fat. Stock-tank levels were dropping. Pecans and cotton were looking good. The corn harvest was over, while milo and sunflowers were being harvested. Where pastures were drying up, grasshoppers were moving into towns and feeding on landscape bushes and trees.
Coastal Bend: There were no significant rains, and temperatures were above normal. There was a great difference in conditions between the northern and southern parts of the district. In the northern part of the region, producers were harvesting grain sorghum and corn, and reporting outstanding yields. Pecan trees were loaded with nuts, and some growers reported loads so heavy that limbs were beginning to break. The red-grape harvest ended with yields topping out at over 4.5 tons per acre. Conditions were ideal for making hay, and some producers were taking second and third cuttings. But in the southern part of the district, 80 to 90 percent of corn and grain sorghum were zeroed-out by insurance adjusters. Many cotton producers were shredding fields instead of harvesting. If they did harvest, they reported poor yields. The area desperately needed rain to improve deep soil moisture. Without runoff, stock tanks remained very low or dry. Livestock producers were already feeding hay in areas that had yet to recovered from the 2011 drought. Many trees were lost due to drought stress.
East: Little to no rain fell across the region. Hot, dry weather with high winds quickly pulled moisture from the soil. Producers worried conditions might herald the onset of another drought. Weeds were an issue in many pastures. Grasshopper and feral hog problems continued. A few producers reported armyworms in pastures.
North: Soil moisture remained mostly short to adequate. Most counties received some rain – some reported as much as 2 inches – but more was needed. Pastures were in fair condition, but with hot weather expected to return, more rain is need or pastures will start turning brown. The corn harvest started in some counties, and growers were reporting good yields. Cotton was in a fair to good condition. Hay production continued. Stock ponds were in very good shape for this time of the year. There were still large numbers of grasshoppers and crickets. Peaches continued to do very well with no insect damage reported.
Panhandle: The region's hot, dry and windy weather continued. Soil moisture was mostly very short to short. Some counties received from 0.25 to 0.75 inch of rain, with a few isolated areas getting as much as 3 inches. Many fields of corn were heat stressed, and irrigators were having problems meeting the crop's water demands. Alfalfa was also moisture stressed. Cotton under irrigation was doing well. Manure trucks were going fast and furiously applying compost to fields that will be planted to wheat this fall. Grain sorghum was coming along with some fields heading, but moisture stress was affecting the crop's development. Rangeland and pastures were in from very poor to excellent condition, with most reporting very poor to poor. Cattle were in fair condition. Southwestern corn borer moth trap counts increased. Producers were spraying for second generation corn borer and applying fungicides at tassel.
Rolling Plains: The area had high temperatures and little or no rain. Some areas received very spotty showers. A few producers received up to 2.5 inches of rain, but with absolutely no soil moisture, the rain was immediately soaked into the ground or ran off. The dryland cotton crop was suffering from moisture stress and wasn't growing. Some irrigated cotton still looked good, but without rain, producers fear it will play out in another week. Insurance adjusters were 'disastering-out' more dryland cotton acres. Pastures were in fair to poor condition. The extreme heat was another concern as cattle producers were seeing stock tanks drying up and well levels dropping. Fly and insect pressure was ongoing. Wildfires were becoming more of a concern. A fire started by lightning in Motley County consumed 3,500 acres of pasture and rangeland. Burn bans were in effect for many counties.
South: Soil moisture was adequate to very short. Most northern counties had adequate soil-moisture levels. The western counties of Duval and Webb also had adequate levels. Soil moisture ranged from 100 percent adequate in Cameron County to 70 to 100 percent very short in Hidalgo and Starr counties, respectively. Soil-moisture levels in the eastern counties were 20 to 100 percent very short. Spotty showers helped green up range and pastures some, but more rain was needed to offset the hot and windy conditions. In McMullen County, livestock producers continued to provide supplemental feed, and were culling herds and weaning calves early. Webb County reported 3 to 3.5 inches of rain, which helped raise stock-tank water levels and improve hay production. Hay prices in that area and nearby counties remained high. Good hay yields were reported in the Jim Wells County. In Frio County, the corn harvest picked up, early planted peanuts were pegging and later-planted peanuts were emerging. Also in that area, cotton and sorghum continued to develop. In Maverick County, farmers were harvesting watermelons and making hay from either coastal Bermuda grass or forage sorghum. In Zavala County, cotton progressed well, with approximately 75 percent of the crop opening bolls. Pecan growers in that area continued irrigating orchards where the nuts were at the critical kernel-development stage. In Cameron County, the cotton harvest continued. In Hidalgo County, cotton producers were irrigating and expected to begin defoliating soon. In Willacy County, the sorghum harvest was completed with above-average yields reported. Cotton harvesting also continued in that area with yields at average to slightly above average.
South Plains: Highs were in the mid to upper 90s, and there were some very isolated light showers. Parts of Garza County got as much as 1.7 inches of rain, but that was a rare exception to generally dry conditions. Dryland cotton was rapidly moving into cutout. Producers were monitoring crops for pests, but insect pressure has been minimal so far. Peanuts were being monitored closely for foliar disease and pod-rot. Rangeland and pastures were in good to poor condition depending on rainfall patterns. Livestock were mostly in good condition.
Southeast: In Burleson County, the dryland corn harvest was under way as strong winds with hot temperatures continued. Jefferson County had scattered showers with accumulations of 0.5 inch to 1.2 inches. Orange County also reported precipitation.
Southwest: Recent rains improved sorghum-sudan stands and allowed producers to cut hay. Some producers were taking a second cutting and reported good yields though lower quality than with the first cutting. The corn and grain sorghum harvests to continue with the warm weather. Cotton was making good progress. Irrigators with shallow wells reported water shortages.
West Central: Hot, dry, windy conditions continued. Soil-moisture levels continued to decline. Most row crops showed severe moisture stress. A few counties reported scattered showers. Cotton was beginning to bloom, but was also moisture stressed. Irrigation continued where water was available. Producers were cutting and baling haygrazer. More rain was needed to make a second cutting. The sorghum harvest was under way, with a few concerns about prussic acid and nitrate toxicity. Insects were a problem in some areas. Pastures and rangeland remained in poor condition, as high temperatures took a toll on grasses and forbs. Grazing was very limited, and producers started feeding hay. Stock-tank water levels dropping. Livestock remained in good condition, though some producers were selling cattle due to high feed costs and very little access to hay.

TechnoServe's Work with Tibetan Refugees featured in The New York Times
August 13, 2013
A USAID-supported program is creating sustainable economic opportunities for Tibetans in exile through workforce development, entrepreneurship support, and farming opportunities.
Young Tibetans stand outside a TechnoServe-supported career center in Bylakuppe, India.
More than 100,000 Tibetan refugees live in settlements across India and Nepal. Here, nearly one in four young people is unemployed and those who do find jobs face major economic challenges. As a result, many young Tibetans are leaving in search of better opportunities elsewhere, causing brain drain and threatening the preservation of Tibetan culture.
The Economic Development of Tibetan Settlements (EDOTS) program is working to address these issues by creating sustainable livelihood opportunities within these communities. With support from the U.S. Agency for International Development and the Central Tibetan Administration, TechnoServe is working to promote competitive farms and businesses through new organic farming opportunities, workforce development and entrepreneurship support.
TechnoServe is providing training and support to help 570 young Tibetans find employment opportunities
As part of the program's workforce development initiative, TechnoServe is providing training and support to help 570 young Tibetans find employment opportunities. Amy Yee, a journalist based in New Delhi, recently wrote about this work in a piece for the New York Times.
In a spacious classroom in this northern Indian hill town, 20 young Tibetan men and women sit in front of computers as the summer monsoon rains fall outside.
A woman instructs them in Tibetan on how to use Microsoft Word and Gmail, while other students practice typing by following a keyboard graphic on their screens. They are attending a free computer course at a Tibetan Career Center, opened last year on a busy hillside road in Dharamsala, the exile home of the Dalai Lama and about 12,000 other Tibetans.
The center prepares young Tibetans for jobs through career counseling, mock interviews and résumé writing workshops, and by linking them to potential employers. The program is run by the Tibetan exile administration, which is based in Dharamsala, to foster job readiness and entrepreneurship among Tibetans ages 16 and up. Jigmey Tsultrim, head consultant at the center, said: "Some Tibetans don't realize they have these hidden qualities. We're trying to match them with job opportunities and bridge the gap."

Do any OTC vitamins, minerals or supplements interact with statins?
- Q: Does taking fish oil capsules interfere with statins for lowering cholesterol as far as effectiveness? Do any OTC vitamins or minerals interfere with statins?
- A: Generally speaking, drug interactions fall into three main categories: Drug-drug (i.e., prescription, over-the-counter, herbals, dietary supplements) interactions occur when two or more drugs react with each other. Drug-diet (food/drink) interactions result from drugs reacting with foods or drinks. Drug-disease interactions may occur when an existing medical condition makes certain drugs potentially harmful. No significant interactions between the specified medications were identified, however, this does not mean that interactions do not exist. For more specific information, consult with your doctor or pharmacist for guidance based on your specific condition and current medications, particularly before taking any action. Shereen A.

And they compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyre′ne, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.While all three of the Synoptics mention Simon of Cyrene, Mark is the only one who mentions his sons (cf. Matthew 27:32; Luke 23:26). Why does this matter? Because Mark's audience, the Christians of Rome, knew Rufus personally.
"Babylon" was an early Christian reference for "Rome," so Sts. Peter and Mark are sending their greetings from Rome. Second, this is also the testimony of the Church Fathers, who testify that Mark is Peter's disciple and interpreter in Rome. St. Irenaeus, writing c. 180 A.D., says:
She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings; and so does my son Mark.
Emmanuel Tzanes, St. Mark the Evangelist (1657)
Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews in their own dialect, while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome, and laying the foundations of the Church. After their departure, Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter, did also hand down to us in writing what had been preached by Peter.Eusebius says the same thing, as does St. Jerome:
Mark, the disciple and interpreter of Peter wrote a short gospel at the request of the brethren at Rome embodying what he had heard Peter tell. When Peter had heard this, he approved it and published it to the churches to be read by his authority as Clemens in the sixth book of his Hypotyposes and Papias, bishop of Hierapolis, record. Peter also mentions this Mark in his first epistle, figuratively indicating Rome under the name of Babylon "She who is in Babylon elect together with you salutes you and so does Mark my son." So, taking the gospel which he himself composed, he went to Egypt and first preaching Christ at Alexandria he formed a church so admirable in doctrine and continence of living that he constrained all followers of Christ to his example.This makes Mark's Gospel all the more powerful: he's declaring that Jesus, not Caesar, is the true Son of God.... from the heart of the Roman Empire.
Greet Rufus, chosen in the Lord, and his mother, who has been a mother to me, too.
Finally, it points to something momentous and beautiful: that Simon of Cyrene's encounter with the Cross brought about his conversion, and the conversion of his whole family.
Simon didn't ask to carry Christ's Cross. Rather, it was forced upon him by Roman soldiers: he was compelled, in St. Mark's words. And yet this compulsion - this unplanned and unwanted encounter with the Cross that brought about his salvation. St. Josemaria Escriva paints the scene:
What encouraging words! There are times in this life that we choose our crosses: when we voluntarily undertake some penance for a loved one, or perform a difficult task for a noble end. It's easy to see the merit in these voluntary crosses, I think. But we shouldn't miss the opportunities for grace in the unwanted crosses, if we allow them to convert us.
Jesus is exhausted. His footsteps become more and more unsteady, and the soldiers are in a hurry to be finished. So, when they are going out of the city through the Judgement Gate, they take hold of a man who was coming in from a farm, a man called Simon of Cyrene, the father of Alexander and Rufus, and they force him to carry the Cross of Jesus (cf. Mark 15:21).
h/t Maiar Jay-ar Altius for designing this image.
In the whole context of the Passion, this help does not add up to very much. But for Jesus, a smile, a word, a gesture, a little bit of love is enough for him to pour out his grace bountifully on the soul of his friend. Years later, Simon 's sons, Christians by then, will be known and held in high esteem among their brothers in the faith. And it all started with this unexpected meeting with the Cross.
I went to those who were not looking for me; I was found by those that sought me not (Isaiah 65:1).
At times the Cross appears without our looking for it: it is Christ who is seeking us out. And if by chance, before this unexpected Cross which, perhaps, is therefore more difficult to understand, your heart were to show repugnance... don 't give it consolations. And, filled with a noble compassion, when it asks for them, say to it slowly, as one speaking in confidence: 'Heart: heart on the Cross! Heart on the Cross!'
For example, I'm reminded of Matthew 19:12, in which Christ says that "there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven." Some of us are celibate by choice, as part of our response to God's vocational call. Catholics tend to recognize the beauty in this voluntary cross. But others, like those with same-sex attractions, may find themselves compelled into celibacy. Here, I think, we can miss the beauty of this involuntary cross. Of course, this is but one example: your own life is probably full of several of these unchosen crosses. It is easy for the Simons of the world to fall into the trap of bitterness, and perhaps even Simon of Cyrene fell prey to this at first. But in embracing the Cross, he came to salvation.
There's a tremendous irony at work here: Simon imagines that he is carrying Christ's Cross for Him. In fact, it is Christ who is helping Simon carry his Cross. Simon, after all, is a sinner, like all of us: it is he, not Christ, who deserved punishment. So when we do struggle under the weight of our crosses, voluntary or involuntary, let us remember that isn't something we do for Him, but something He does for us. And finally, let us never forget that it is in the Cross that we encounter Christ.

Shell EP Offshore Ventures Ltd. and Frontier Drillships Ltd., a subsidiary of Frontier Drilling, signed a deepwater/arctic drillship Joint Venture (JV) agreement. Under the agreement, Shell and Frontier will build and roll out a new drillship concept, known as the "Bully" rig. The drillship design sets a new standard and offers a flexible, smaller but highly capable vessel suited for deepwater and arctic drilling, while reducing the construction and operational costs compared to newbuild drilling rigs of similar capability. The Shell/Frontier JV expects to deliver the first Bully rig to the Gulf of Mexico by early 2010. It will be operated by Frontier on behalf of the JV under a separate management services contract.
The rig design was developed by Frontier in cooperation with Shell's deepwater experts. The innovative design offers flexibility and rapid deployment, setting the standard for technologically advanced vessels. A new development in ultra-deepwater drilling is the use of a surface BOP with a slimline, pressurized riser.
