(09/13/2009) The documentary Crude opened this weekend in New York, while the film shows the direct impact of the oil industry on indigenous groups a new study proves that the presence of oil companies can have subtler, but still major impacts, on indigenous groups and the ecosystems in which they live. In Ecuador's Yasuni National Park—comprising 982,000 hectares of what the researchers call "one of the most species diverse forests in the world"—the presence of an oil company has disrupted the lives of the Waorani and the Kichwa peoples, and the rich abundance of wildlife living within the forest.
World's only Sumatran rhino to give birth in captivity dies at Cincinnati Zoo
(09/10/2009) Emi, the world's only Sumatran rhino to give birth in captivity, died on Saturday at the Cincinnati zoo. She successfully gave birth to three offspring, one of which has been released back into the wild in Indonesia.
Concerns over deforestation may drive new approach to cattle ranching in the Amazon
(09/08/2009) While you're browsing the mall for running shoes, the Amazon rainforest is probably the farthest thing from your mind. Perhaps it shouldn't be. The globalization of commodity supply chains has created links between consumer products and distant ecosystems like the Amazon. Shoes sold in downtown Manhattan may have been assembled in Vietnam using leather supplied from a Brazilian processor that subcontracted to a rancher in the Amazon. But while demand for these products is currently driving environmental degradation, this connection may also hold the key to slowing the destruction of Earth's largest rainforest.
Crowned sifaka population on the verge of local extinction: dispatch from the field
(09/08/2009) A small group of crowned sifaka lemurs Propithecus coronatus have been located in the corridor d'Amboloando-Dabolava, Miandrivazo district-Madagascar, but are immediately threatened with local extinction. The small, fragmented, and isolated forest shelters a group of only six adults and one baby. Interviews with local people revealed that once several groups of the species resided in the corridor, and even last year, about 20 individuals were still found there. However, within one year, the population dropped from 20 to 6 individuals.
Investing in conservation could save global economy trillions of dollars annually
(09/03/2009) By investing billions in conserving natural areas now, governments could save trillions every year in ecosystem services, such as natural carbon sinks to fight climate change, according to a European report The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB).
New Amazonian reserve saves over a million acres in Peru
(08/30/2009) On August 27th Peru's Ministry of the Environment approved the creation of the Matses National Reserve to protect the region's biodiversity, ensure its natural resources, and preserve the home of the Matses indigenous peoples (known as the Mayorunas in Brazil). The park is 1,039,390 acres (or 420,626 hectares) of lowland Amazonian rainforest in eastern Peru. The park is the culmination of over a decade of work by the local non-profit CEDIA (the Center for the Development of the Indigenous Amazonians) funded in part by the Worldland Trust.
Photos reveal illegal logging near uncontacted natives in Peru
(08/17/2009) Ariel photos show proof of illegal logging for mahogany occurring in a Peruvian reserve set aside for uncontacted natives. The photos, taken by Chris Fagan from Round River Conservation Studies, show logging camps set-up inside the Murunahua Reserve, meant to protect the uncontacted indigenous group, known as the Murunahua Indians, in the Peruvian Amazon.
Largely unexplored rainforest slated to be leveled for gold mining in Colombia
(08/13/2009) Serrania de San Luca is a rainforest-covered massif rising to 2,300 meters (7,500 feet) in northern Colombia. Despite being little-explored and containing several endangered species, the forest is threatened by industrial gold mining operations, according to the local conservation group ProAves. Already the forest has been reduced to 10 percent of its original 2.5 million acres due to agriculture, small-scale mining, and other human impacts. Now, the Colombian government has granted large concessions to AngloGold Ashanti, a gold mining company out of South Africa which has been criticized by the Human Rights Watch for allegedly aligning itself with locally armed gangs in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Lessons from the crisis in Madagascar, an interview with Erik Patel
(08/11/2009) On March 17th of this year the President of Madagascar, Marc Ravalomanana, resigned his post. This made way for Andry Rajoelina, mayor of Madagascar's capital, to install himself as president with help from the military. The unrest and confusion that usually accompanies such a coup brought disaster on many of Madagascar's biological treasures. Within days of Ravalomanana's resignation, armed gangs, allegedly funded by Chinese traders, entered two of Madagascar's world-renowned national parks, Marojejy and Masoala parks, and began to log rosewood, ebonies, and other valuable hardwoods. The pillaging lasted months but the situation began to calm down over the summer. Now that the crisis in Madagascar has abated—at least for the time being—it's time to take stock. In order to do so, Mongabay spoke to Erik Patel, an expert on the Critically Endangered Silky Sifaka and frequent visitor to Madagascar, to find out what the damage looks like firsthand and to see what lessons might be learned.
Photos: hundreds of new species discovered in Himalayan region, threatened by climate change
(08/10/2009) Scientists from a variety of organizations have found over 350 new species in the Eastern Himalayas, including a flying frog, the world's smallest deer, and a gecko which has walked the earth for 100-million-years, according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). The report, entitled Where World's Collide, warns that these rare biological treasures, as well as numerous other species, are threatened in the Eastern Himalayas by climate change.
Are we on the brink of saving rainforests?
(07/22/2009) Until now saving rainforests seemed like an impossible mission. But the world is now warming to the idea that a proposed solution to help address climate change could offer a new way to unlock the value of forest without cutting it down.Deep in the Brazilian Amazon, members of the Surui tribe are developing a scheme that will reward them for protecting their rainforest home from encroachment by ranchers and illegal loggers. The project, initiated by the Surui themselves, will bring jobs as park guards and deliver health clinics, computers, and schools that will help youths retain traditional knowledge and cultural ties to the forest. Surprisingly, the states of California, Wisconsin and Illinois may finance the endeavor as part of their climate change mitigation programs.
Saving one of the last tropical dry forests, an interview with Edwina von Gal
(06/29/2009) Often we hear about endangered species—animals or plants on the edge of extinction—however we rarely hear about endangered environments—entire ecosystems that may disappear from Earth due to humankind's growing footprint. Tropical dry forests are just such an ecosystem: with only 2 percent of the world's tropical dry forest remaining it is one of the world's most endangered ecosystems. A newly established organization, the Azuero Earth Project, is working not only to preserve some of the world's last tropical dry forest on the Azuero peninsula in Panama, but also to begin restoration projects hoping to aid both the forest's viability and the local people. Edwina von Gal, a landscape designer, is one of the founders of the Azuero Earth Project, as well as president of the organization.
Lear's Macaw: back from the brink
(06/09/2009) The 2009 IUCN Red List for birds broke records by listing more Critically Endangered birds than ever before. Despite this, there were individual species that bucked the global trend: Lear's Macaw Anodorhynchus leari, a bright blue parrot from northeastern Brazil, was one of these. Due to effective conservation measures the parrot's population has reached nearly a thousand birds (up from a low of just a hundred individuals in 1989), and therefore was moved down the list, from Critically Endangered to Endangered.
New rainforest reserve in Congo benefits bonobos and locals
(05/25/2009) A partnership between local villages and conservation groups, headed up by the Bonobo Conservation Initiative (BCI), has led to the creation of a new 1,847 square mile (4,875 square kilometer) reserve in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The reserve will save some of the region's last pristine forests: ensuring the survival of the embattled bonobo—the least-known of the world's four great ape species—and protecting a wide variety of biodiversity from the Congo peacock to the dwarf crocodile. However, the Kokolopori Bonobo Reserve is worth attention for another reason: every step of its creation—from biological surveys to reserve management—has been run by the local Congolese NGO and villages of Kokolopori.
Prince Charles' new online initiative for rainforests makes media splash
(05/06/2009) Releasing a video with as many species of celebrity as ants in the rainforest, while simultaneously turning to online sites such as MySpace and YouTube, appears to have worked for Prince Charles, a longtime advocate of rainforest conservation. His conservation organization's new outreach to online users has garnered considerable coverage from the international media.
Gabonese environmental activist receives prize for standing up to government, Chinese company
(04/20/2009) Marc Ona Essangui is a beloved environmental leader in his native Gabon, however by winning the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize he is now being introduced to a larger audience: the world. Essangui received the prize for exposing unsavory truths about a deal between the Gabon government and a Chinese company, CMEC, to mine for iron ore in the Congo rainforest, the world's second largest tropical forest. The Belinga mine is a $3.5 billion project that also includes a hydroelectric dam, which will flood traditional lands and destroy what is considered the most beautiful waterfall in the forests of equatorial Africa. The Kongou Falls is located in the Ivindo National Park.
Rainforest conservation gains in U.S. and U.N. climate proposals
(04/14/2009) A proposed mechanism for reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) figures prominently in the draft climate bill released last month by Congressmen Henry Waxman and Ed Markey as well as a U.N. document posted last week following a climate meeting in Bonn, Germany. Deforestation is the source of roughly 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities.
World leaders meet to discuss future of rainforests
(04/02/2009) World leaders met Wednesday to discuss the role rainforests can play in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Revolutionary new theory overturns modern meteorology with claim that forests move rain
(04/01/2009) Two Russian scientists, Victor Gorshkov and Anastassia Makarieva of the St. Petersburg Nuclear Physics, have published a revolutionary theory that turns modern meteorology on its head, positing that forests—and their capacity for condensation—are actually the main driver of winds rather than temperature. While this model has widespread implications for numerous sciences, none of them are larger than the importance of conserving forests, which are shown to be crucial to 'pumping' precipitation from one place to another. The theory explains, among other mysteries, why deforestation around coastal regions tends to lead to drying in the interior.
Conservation groups condemn 'open and organized plundering' of Madagascar's natural resources
(03/30/2009) Eleven conservation organizations—including WWF, CI, and WCS—have banded together to condemn logging in Madagascar's world renowned parks during a time of political crisis. Taking advantage of the turmoil after interim president Andry Rajoelina took control of the country in a bloodless coup from former president Marc Ravalomanana on March 17th, pristine forests have been plundered for valuable wood, wildlife trafficking has increased, and illegal mining operations have begun say the conservation organizations.
Norway emerges as champion of rainforest conservation
(03/19/2009) While citizens in western countries have long paid lip service to saving rainforests, Norway has quietly emerged as the largest and most important international force in tropical forest conservation. The small Scandinavian country has committed 3 billion krone ($440 million) a year to the effort, a figure vastly greater than the $100M pledged — but never fully contributed — by the United States under the Tropical Forest Conservation Act (TFCA). Norway now hopes it can help push to include forest conservation in the successor to the Kyoto Protocol by providing funding and fostering cooperation among international actors like the UN and World Bank, as well as developing countries, to fund the creation of an international architecture which makes it possible to incorporate deforestation and degradation into a post-2012 climate regime.
Climate change could devastate lizards in the tropics
(03/04/2009) With help from data collected thirty years ago, scientists have discovered that tropical lizards may be particularly sensitive to a warming world. Researchers found that lizards in the tropics are more sensitive to higher temperatures than their relatives in cooler, yet more variable climates. "The least heat-tolerant lizards in the world are found at the lowest latitudes, in the tropical forests. I find that amazing," said Raymond Huey, lead author of a paper appearing in the March 4 Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Papua New Guinea creates first nature reserve
(03/03/2009) Home to numerous endemic species and some of the Asia's last intact tropical forests, Papua New Guinea has created its first national conservation area. Unique in structure, the park is owned by 35 surrounding indigenous villages which have agreed unanimously to prohibit hunting, logging, mining, and other development within the park. The villages have also created a community organization that will oversee management of the park. The 10,000 villagers found partners in Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle, Conservation International, and National Geographic. The conservation organizations spent twelve years working with locals and the Papua New Guinea government to establish the YUS Conservation Area.
YouTube videos may be imperiling cuddly primate
(02/24/2009) Many "cute" and "cuddly" species have gained attention and funds from conservation groups, since the public gravitates toward such attractive species. In fact, cuteness can sometimes mean the difference between conservation attention and extinction. However, for slow lorises being cute may be their downfall. Despite the fact that owning a slow loris as a pet or trading it is illegal in all range countries and "all countries where primates as pets are illegal," the species is still heavily trafficked, says Dr. Anna Nekaris, an anthropologist who specializes in slow-loris research at Oxford Brookes University. During the past few years videos of pet slow lorises have begun to appear on YouTube. Such videos often include comments from users who push misinformation about the slow loris's legality and aptitude as pets, raising concerns among conservationists that the videos encourage people to actively pursue the slow loris as a pet.
Could engineering rainforests save the planet from global warming?
(01/21/2009) At the Smithsonian symposium entitled "Will the Rainforests Survive?", leading tropical biologists vigorously debated current threats to the rainforest and what the future may hold. While climate change was identified as a leading threat to rainforests, many of the scientists argued that the tropics may also be the key to mitigating the impact of global warming.
Secondary forest should become new conservation initiative
(01/19/2009) "I want to convince you we need to go beyond primary forests to preserve biodiversity", Robin Chazdon told an audience at the National Natural History Museum during a symposium on the tropics. Chazdon, a professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Connecticut, has been studying secondary growth forests for over eighteen years. Secondary forests are those forests in the process of regrowth after being used for agriculture or logging. In her study area of NE Costa Rica, many of these forests were converted to pastures in the 1970s and 1980s, but have since been abandoned. In her presentation Chazdon argued that to preserve biodiversity numerous types of human-impacted landscapes, such as secondary forest, require attention by the conservation community.
Wildlife trade creating "empty forest syndrome" across the globe
(01/19/2009) For many endangered species it is not the lack of suitable habitat that has imperiled them, but hunting. In a talk at a Smithsonian Symposium on tropical forests, Elizabeth Bennett of the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) outlined the perils for many species of the booming and illegal wildlife trade. She described pristine forests, which although providing perfect habitat for species, stood empty and quiet, drained by hunting for bushmeat, traditional medicine, the pet trade, and trophies.
Symposium tackles big question: how many species will survive our generation
(01/16/2009) Nine scientists dusted off their crystal balls Monday at the National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC, weighing in on the future of the world's tropical forest. Despite the most up-to-date statistics, prognosis for the future of tropical forests varied widely. In the last few years a schism has occurred among biologists regarding the future of the tropics. No tropical scientist denies that rainforests and the species which inhabit them face unprecedented threats; neither do they argue that some of these forested regions and species will likely not survive the next fifty years. What has sparked debate, sometimes heated, is how bad will is it really? When the dust settles, what percentage of species will survive and how much forest will remain?
What is the greatest threat to rainforests: habitat destruction or climate change?
(01/13/2009) A symposium from the Smithsonian Institution meant to debate the level of threat by deforestation posed to the tropics shifted topic slightly near its end as scientists began to discus which was the most significant threat for rainforests and the species that inhabit them: habitat destruction or climate change?
Shade-grown coffee preserves native tree diversity
(12/23/2008) A new study finds that shade-grown coffee protects the biodiversity of tree species, as well as those of birds and bats. Published in Current Biology, the study found that native trees in shade-grown coffee plantations aid the overall species' gene flow and can become a focal point for reforestation.
Deal on forests falls short
(12/11/2008) A deal reached Wednesday in Poznan to include forests in future climate treaties is a positive step but falls short of the progress needed to get the REDD (reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation) mechanism on track for incorporation into the framework that will succeed the Kyoto Protocol, say environmentalists speaking from the talks.
Rainforests continue to fall but hope may rest in a market solution
(12/11/2008) Environmentalists attempting to preserve the vanishing Amazon rain forest now confront a stark paradox: Never before have they succeeded in protecting so much of the world's largest tropical forest, yet never before has so much of it simultaneously been destroyed. The key question today is whether new models of conservation — including an increasingly popular, market-based program known as REDD — will be able to reverse the steady loss of tropical forests, not only in the Amazon, but also in Indonesia, Borneo, and Africa's Congo basin, where virgin woodlands continue to be razed at an unprecedented rate.
Indigenous people win voice in climate negotiations
(12/10/2008) Negotiators at U.N. climate conference have struck a deal to give forest-dependent people a voice in determining the role forest conservation will play future agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reports the Associated Press (AP). The agreement clears a key obstacle that had been blocking progress on reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD), a mechanism that would compensate tropical countries for protecting their forest cover.
Africa calls for "full-range" of bio-carbon as climate solution
(12/10/2008) A coalition of 26 African countries is calling for the inclusion of carbon credits generated through afforestation, reforestation, agroforestry, reduced soil tillage, and sustainable agricultural practices in future climate agreements.
New standards ensure forest carbon projects protect indigenous people, biodiversity
(12/08/2008) The Climate, Community & Biodiversity Alliance (CCBA) has released its second edition of its CCB Standard for certifying land-based carbon offset projects.
Peru seeks $200 million to save its rainforests
(12/08/2008) Peru is seeking $200 million in international contributions over the next ten years to cut deforestation to zero, reports BBC News.
In Poznan, France pushes initiative to save rainforests
(12/08/2008) As talks for incorporating forest conservation into an international climate treaty stall in Poznan, Poland due to technical debates, France has proposed an aggressive effort to address deforestation and forest degradation through the establishment of a Global Forest Carbon Mechanism (GFCM) and potential inclusion of forestry projects in the E.U.'s emissions trading scheme (ETS) beginning in 2013.
Linking rural health care to forest conservation proving a success in Borneo
(12/08/2008) Health in Harmony was today awarded mongabay.com's annual "Innovation in Conservation" award for its unique approach to conservation which combats illegal logging by providing healthcare and sustainable livelihoods to communities living around Gunung Palung National Park in Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo. The award includes a cash grant and prominent placement on the mongabay.com web site and newsletter for the month of December. Health in Harmony is working to break an impoverishing cycle of illegal logging and deforestation by offering healthcare rewards to encourage the villagers to protect the national park, rather than log it. The effort seems to be paying off: since launching a 'forests-for-healthcare' incentive program in September, 18 of 21 communities have signed a moratorium of understanding agreeing to participate.
REDD faces challenges but can succeed, says report
(12/05/2008) The Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR), a forest policy think tank, today released its assessment on the proposed REDD (reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation) mechanism for slowing climate change.
Little progress on avoided deforestation at climate meeting in Poland
(12/05/2008) Climate talks in Poland are failing to make progress on a proposed mechanism to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from deforestation, reports a forest policy group from the negotiations.
WWF criticizes Brazil's plan to cut Amazon deforestation
(12/04/2008) WWF criticized Brazil's plan to reduce Amazon deforestation to 5,740 square kilometers per year as being "short on ambition and detail". In a statement issued Wednesday, WWF said that Brazil's proposed fund for conserving the Amazon would still result in the annual loss of an area forest the size of Rhode Island.
REDD may harm forest people, alleges report
(12/02/2008) A new report finds that the World Bank is not doing enough to protect indigenous rights under its mechanism to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD).
Carbon market could pay poor farmers to adopt sustainable cultivation techniques
(11/26/2008) The emerging market for forest carbon could support agroforestry programs that alleviate rural poverty and promote sustainable development, states a new report issued by the World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF).
Guide to reducing emissions through forest conservation released
(11/26/2008) Ahead of next week's climate meeting in Poznań, Poland, the Global Canopy Programme — an alliance of 37 scientific institutions in 19 countries — has launched a layman's guide to a proposed mechanism for cutting greenhouse gas emissions by reducing deforestation. Deforestation and land use change accounts for roughly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions — a larger share than all the world's cars, trucks, ships, and airplanes combined.
California joins effort to fight global warming by saving rainforests
(11/19/2008) California has joined the battle to fight global warming through rainforest conservation. In an agreement signed yesterday at a climate change conference in Beverly Hills, California, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger pledged financial assistance and technical support to help reduce deforestation in Brazil and Indonesia. The Memorandum of Understanding commits the California, Illinois and Wisconsin to work with the governors of six states and provinces within Indonesia and Brazil to help slow and stop tropical deforestation, a source of roughly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.
Coordinated effort needed to cut deforestation via carbon markets
(11/18/2008) The Coalition for Rainforest Nations — a group of 40 tropical countries seeking compensation in the form of carbon credits for protecting their forest cover — will ask the United Nations at next month's climate conference in Poland to establish a single body to coordinate forest carbon trading, reports Reuters from a workshop on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) meeting in Milan, Italy.
New rules establish market for saving rainforests through carbon trading
(11/18/2008) A new carbon accounting standard will bolster efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions resulting from deforestation, thereby creating a financial incentive for saving rainforests, say backers of the initiative, known as the Voluntary Carbon Standard (VCS).
Conflict in PNG between govt and landowners over REDD carbon trading
(11/17/2008) The government of Papua New Guinea is facing criticism over its plan to seek compensation via the carbon market for protecting the country's rainforests, reports Australian Broadcasting Corporation News (ABC News).
Palm oil companies propose satellite monitoring of their plantations to ensure sustainability
(11/05/2008) The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is considering a proposal to use satellite imagery to enforce criteria that high value conservation areas are not converted to oil palm plantations, reports Ian Wood of the Telegraph. The move would boost RSPO's credibility at a time when the industry-lead sustainability initiative is under fire from environmentalists who say its performance to date suggests it is merely an exercise in greenwashing.
Forests for Climate initiative launches in Indonesia
(11/04/2008) Greenpeace has officially launched its Forests for Climate initiative (FFC), a non-market avoided deforestation scheme that aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by slowing forest destruction.

I don't agree with your take at all. Other than the practice squad, I don't think the NFL is remotely interested in developing their own talent. There isn't enough time on most coach's or GM's contract for them to give a ****. IMO, the player either has "it" or they don't.
and you totally missed the point about the Vernon Davis incedent with Singletary.
Im very thankful for the opportunity to cross paths with him. It was a very beautiful thing that he did for me, he saved my career, said Davis. He helped make me into the player that I am today. If we never met, I would never have the courage or any of those other things that make up a leader. Im very thankful and honored that we crossed paths.

When Death Grips "chose not to arrive in Chicago" for their scheduled set at Lollapalooza 2013, it led to outrage in comments sections, on Twitter, and in real life: Patrons at Chicago's Bottom Lounge got violent when it became clear the band wouldn't be performing at the official Lollapalooza after-show party for which they had been booked. Instead of Zach Hill and Stefan "MC Ride" Burnett, attendees were presented with nothing more than some pre-recorded music and the projection of a suicide note onto a stage populated only by an unmanned drum kit. That drum kit was promptly destroyed by the furious crowd. It was an apoplectic outpouring perhaps not commensurate with the offense. As Gary Suarez of The Quietus tweeted in response:
A band pulling a no-show shouldn't be a news event. Says a lot for the sorry state of American music that we value politeness.
It didn't end there, though: Along with the announcement that Death Grips were canceling additional tour dates, it was revealed that the experience provided to those in attendance at the Bottom Lounge was exactly the show Hill and Burnet intended — and was exactly the show they would be taking on the road. They hadn't bailed on the gig; they had envisioned the gig as an experience at which a live band or physical representation thereof was totally unnecessary. Even the the equipment left behind for fans to demolish was part of the act — according to DNAinfo, it was merely "a child's learning drum kit."
"There wasn't really a show at all," wrote Vanyaland's Michael Marotta, following the cancelation of last night's Death Grips gig at Boston's Royale. "Not only would Death Grips not be performing, but they wouldn't even be at the venue. Or in the city."
Of course, Death Grips have always been a dick in the eye of the music industry: canceling an entire tour without informing promoters; signing to Epic only to soon thereafter take shots at the label via Twitter, release an album without the label's approval, publicly share confidential emails from label reps expressing dissatisfaction with the the band's actions, and finally, be dropped by the label. No one should be shocked by this most recent turn: Death Grips have made a career of confounding expectations, of conflating acts of rebellion with publicity stunts; there was no band in contemporary popular music more likely to repurpose their tour as a defiant set of performance art presentations — or, more accurately, non-performance art presentations.
But Suarez's aforementioned observation is an apt one, and while Death Grips certainly seem to have crossed a line, it's difficult to distinguish exactly where that line is drawn. From Sid Vicious to Beyonce, we've more or less done away with the notion that the performer on stage must be the immediate source of the music we're hearing in the room. Only two weeks prior to the Lolla debacle (and in the same city), Lil B "played the most purely enjoyable set of [Pitchfork Festival]," wrote Jon Caramanica of the New York Times, "rapping over recorded tracks." Musicians frequently take the stage much later than their scheduled set time, or leave the stage much earlier than expected. Fiona Apple famously stormed off the stage at Manhattan's Roseland Ballroom — crying, accusing, apologizing — because she was unhappy with the sound in the room. The Replacements were notoriously, shall we say, unpredictable. "Frequently, the band was barely able to stand up, let alone play," wrote Stephen Thomas Erlewine at Allmusic, "and when they did play, they often didn't finish their songs."
Even willful antagonism (or seemingly willful antagonism) is relatively commonplace in live music. To name a few recent-ish examples:
- In 2008, Smashing Pumpkins did a tour whose setlist regularly comprised "a two and a half hour show that mostly emphasized new material, generally avoided old classics, and included at least 40 minutes of formless prog-metal dirges and artless, atonal drones."
- In 2009, after 32 years, Throbbing Gristle put on their first-ever NYC show, which opened with an hourlong set wherein the band played their score for Derek Jarman's 1980 film, In The Shadow Of The Sun, followed by "a painfully long merch signing session," and then another hourlong set, which reportedly "unfolded slowly, with the tantalizing prospect that the lights would be turned off at any moment. (They weren't, much to the chagrin of everyone)."
- During a 2012 Atlas Sound show, Bradford Cox responded to an audience member's suggestion that the band play the Knack's "My Sharona" by playing "My Sharona" … for an hour.
- This past June, at Minnesota's Rock The Garden festival — opening for Silversun Pickups and Metric, outdoors, in the rain — Low played "a 30-minute version of the stormy drone epic 'Do You Know How To Waltz?'"
But at least all those bands actually played. Twenty years ago last month — and also at Lollapalooza, coincidentally — Rage Against The Machine "stood naked onstage in front of thousands of revelers at the event in Philadelphia before walking away without playing a note of music … to protest against bosses of the Parents Music Resource Center, who were calling for a ban on explicit content in music." Rage were pelted with coins while they stood there naked — a peril of actually being present while refusing to play. Death Grips are much less likely to be injured by a shower of tweets.
As Judas moments go, it's probably accurate to say that Death Grips' stunt (or statement?) is unprecedented, but is that not itself a worthy achievement? Isn't crossing the line something to be admired in a musical culture that often seems to be content playing by the rules? Isn't that what we expect of artists, and more importantly, what we need from them?
I'm reminded here somewhat of the massively influential Serbian performance artist Marina Abramović, whose work has ranged from 1973′s Rhythm 10 — in which she "set out to explore the physical and mental limitations of the body" by more or less ritually cutting her hand to pieces — to 2010′s The Artist Is Present — in which "she sat immobile in the museum's atrium while spectators were invited to take turns sitting opposite her."
Most recently, Abramović appeared in Jay-Z's "Picasso Baby" video. Apparently she was the inspiration for that project. "Concerts are pretty much performance art," said Jay, describing his relationship to Abramović. But here, he's still playing by the #oldrules; he's really no more than a distant cousin to Abramović. Death Grips are her children.

if you've been paid to do a gig, or have in any way, shape or form agreed to show up, you fucking show up, OR provide a damn good excuse for not showing. and that excuse better contain a motherfucking apology, not "lol guys we totally planned it this way lmao".
it has nothing to do about politeness, it's has to do with respecting your fans, aka the people who allow you do your thing for a living.
Agreed. I'm not paying $30+ ticket just to be trolled for the sake of "art". That's utter bullshit, IMO.

as for the examples of gig-trolling you listed, a distinction must be made between the bands who were earnest in trying to do something interesting (low, pumpkins I guess) and the ones that were just being passive agressive fucktards (atlas sound).
as for RATM, they were merely following their misguided path of mistaking their band for an activist group and behaving accordingly at the expense of their audience. nothing new there.
Death Grips are no Sex Pistols.
That's true. Death Grips have more than 1 decent album.
That's true. The Sex Pistols were at the forefront of a movement. Death Grips aren't.
Dammit meant to reply to Luke and mock shuffles, not agree with him! The lack of respect for The Sex Pistols on this blog is stupid
Hell yeah, thank you for ur thoughts as well. For the record, I agree that Death Grips are pretty cool, both as an idea and in practice. I didn't listen to their second tape much at all but it sounded better than the first.
I served with the Sex Pistols. I knew the Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols were good friends of mine. Senator, you're no Sex Pistols.
Doing this from a distance makes Death Grips giant fucking cowards.
people should just be happy they got to hear all of Death Grips' greatest hits
Death Grips need to get off their high horse, or whatever the hell they think they stand on. They're not that important.
I tried to think about this open mindedly but the bottom line is no matter what point they were trying to prove a shitty show is a shitty show. I don't think I would ever pay money to see them and I'm sure most people feel the same way.
You actually crossed my mind IRL when I saw RTJ a few weeks ago Raptor. How's the weed grinder?
I did think about how they would decide who wouldn't get to do a solo set. El-P simultaneously has a huge ego and no ego. Seems like a good dude.

A band performing live music, that's what I expect from a concert. Although I also expect articles worth reading, so perhaps my standards are too high.
Well said Nathan. However in purgatory, may they endlessly listen to Steel Panther, Creed and Barry Manilow.
I wish I could give you something for that last line. A Stereogum Gold account?

AH haha how cute they are john cage now? Yeah right. Also 4'33″ is awful. You've been punked.
Yeah that part is poor writing… Asking one question after another, without truly weighing in, doesn't "deconstruct" anything.
Meaning is soooo overrated.
Hey! Who else likes these "Play like a Champion" ads?
Hidden due to low comment rating. Click here to see
As fans of a band, or any artist of any medium we deserve nothing. An artist can be on hiatus for a decade, and promise year after year, new material is coming out soon. They have no obligation to deliver on it. At all. As I said the signing of a contract with a venue does change things, but, they essentially followed the contract. They played, its just they played in a manner that the venue didnt even consider.
I think its a mistake to feel like artists owe us something. I want Damien Rice to record a follow up to 9, but he doesnt owe me or any of his fans a new album. Nor does he owe fans any concerts.
And beyond that, as I said, the bands entire MO can essentially be boiled down to this performance art piece. If you are a fan of DG, then you should be aware and cognizent of their entire way of being since 2011.
Its like going to see Tool, and expecting them to play songs that YOU want to hear. I mean seriously. You follow and are a fan of Tool, yet, you get pissed when they dont play songs you want? You know anything about how Tool has operated since, oh, I dont know, 1992?
It'd certainly make for an interesting story: "I attended that legendary non-show"
and so it was, that the outrage spawned by death grips' no-show played out as if pre-written by the band itself.
So is it safe to assume they won't be playing at FYF?
If I'm going to pay for borderline offensive pretension, I'll go to the MOMA.
It seems to me that Death Grips succeeded very well in making a point about how quickly supposed "fans" can turn on an artist if the artist upsets the expectations of fandom/ consumerism.
Hey, look how many people are talking about Death Grips.
so when's the live album coming out?
Boy, is this article reaching or what? I have not "done away with the notion that the performer on stage must be the immediate source of the music we're hearing in the room." Speak for yourself.
Please tell me this from The Onion…

Lost Shepherd
A Passionate Pilgrim:
reviewed by Ian Hunter
Episcopal Bishop James Pike may be a forgotten man today, but four decades ago he made a big splash in the ecclesiastical pond, albeit usually because of self-aggrandizing, sometimes heretical, remarks. David Robertson, the author of previous biographies of the slave rebel Denmark Vesey and of American Secretary of State James Byrnes, demonstrates in this carefully researched and lively biography that there was ever less to Bishop Pike than met the eye. More important, he traces, through one bishop's career, the sad decline of the Episcopal Church to its present ribald state.
Pike Enlarged
James Albert Pike was born on St. Valentine's Day 1913, in Oklahoma. His father died when he was two, and thenceforth he was raised by a hard-working, indomitable, but sometimes smothering mother, Pearl, perhaps the only love that Pike never betrayed. Pearl was a Roman Catholic, and her son an altar boy before, quite suddenly at the age of 19, announcing that he had become an Episcopalian and she should too. She did.
Pike studied, and briefly practiced, law before deciding that he had a vocation. Since he was already twice married, his first brief (one-year) marriage had to be annulled, and Robertson suggests this was accomplished by subterfuge and incomplete disclosure.
Pike served as curate at a church in Washington, D.C., commuting regularly to New York to take classes at Union Theological Seminary, presided over then by Reinhold Niebuhr and Paul Tillich. Robertson points out that it is bootless to ask what influence such intellectual giants had on young Pike: "Other men's ideas and beliefs were like a concave, silvered vessel that Pike occasionally held up to his eyes; all he usually saw were his own features, reflected and enlarged."
Pike first came to public attention for belligerent rhetoric—from the pulpit and outside it— on the right. In 1947, just as the House Committee on Un-American Activities was getting underway, Pike captured headlines by denouncing the faculty of Vassar College as "Unitarian, humanist, materialist, and Marxist"; his evidence was little more than one Vassar girl's essay questioning the Virgin Birth (a doctrine the radicalized Pike of the 1960s would repudiate with great fanfare). Then he called on Christian churches to purge Communists in their midst and do battle against "secular humanists."
Pike's notoriety increased following his appointment in 1952 as Dean of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York. He got the highly sought-after position thanks to influential friends in high Episcopal circles, particularly two bishops, Charles Gilbert and Horace Donegan.
Among other initiatives, Pike launched a weekly television show on ABC called Dean Pike, which soon eclipsed Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's long-running Life Is Worth Living. The program made celebrities of Pike and his wife, Esther. They offered harmless chitchat about a topic, with Pike weighing in at the end to give what he called "a five-minute commercial for God." Between 1952 and 1958 he also wrote seven books, including quite orthodox and widely read titles like Doing the Truth and Beyond Anxiety.
Never Behind
Never comfortable with Evangelicalism in any of its manifestations, Pike had spoken out, for example, against the practice of glossolalia or speaking in tongues. Any such manifestations of religious enthusiasm he condemned as "inconsistent with the sacramental theology of the Holy Catholic Church." But things were to change.
Pike only gradually descended from this orthodox-sounding invocation to theological liberalism, then to gnosticism. Just when he became an outright heretic is difficult to pinpoint. As Robertson points out, he was an inveterate "trendy," not wishing ever "to be even slightly behind the curve of a coming spiritual movement." On the other hand, he often sounded orthodox; indeed, his last and fatal trip to Israel was undertaken so that he could walk where Jesus had walked.
Pike's incessant womanizing and drinking caused ripples of concern in the church; still, in 1958 he was popular enough to be narrowly (by one vote) nominated to become Bishop of California (meaning the San Francisco area). By this time, he had publicly dispensed with the Virgin Birth, the Trinity, salvation by grace, and the uniqueness of God's revelation in Jesus Christ. (Today this may sound unexceptional, but back then such heresies were not commonplace.)
He won the election, but the process was divisive. First, his slippery annulment of his first marriage became an issue, and then opposition to his increasingly heretical views coalesced.
In San Francisco, Pike proved a good fundraiser and a capable administrator. But his personal life was increasingly out of control; for example, he had a clandestine telephone installed in the bishop's office for the exclusive use of whomever he was having an affair with.
Esther filed for divorce in 1965. A year later, his eldest son, Jim, committed suicide at age 20. A year after that, his secretary/mistress, Maren Bergrud, killed herself in his apartment by an overdose of sleeping pills. He dragged her comatose body down the hall to her own apartment, lied to the police, and destroyed evidence, but was sufficiently composed to conduct her funeral service a few days later.
On three separate occasions, a bill of particulars alleging heresy against Pike was presented at Episcopal synods, but on each occasion, the bishops elected to follow the path of compromise, and a full-blown heresy trial was averted.
Pike's last sad years were consumed by spiritualism. Through several "mediums," he attempted to communicate with his dead son and eventually persuaded himself that he had done so. By this time he had become an embarrassment, and when in 1968 he offered his resignation as Bishop of California, it was received with alacrity.
In April 1969 Pike made life even easier for his church by formally announcing he was leaving, calling the Episcopal Church (in a Look magazine article) "a sick—even dying—institution." In this, at least, the bishop may be said to have been prophetic.
Unusual Death
What should we make of Bishop James Pike?
Certain saints excepted, perhaps, any man's life is a tangled skein of good and evil, right and wrong, darkness and light; that being so, it is churlish, perhaps uncharitable, to say that nothing so became Bishop Pike's life as his leaving of it. But the circumstances of his death were, it must be conceded, highly unusual.
It was August 1969, the year of the moon landing. Fascinated by the news of a discovery of scrolls in a cave in the Qumran desert, Pike and his third and much younger wife, Diane, went to Israel and, against all advice, set out without a guide or adequate water to wander through the desert ravines around Wadi Mashash. They soon got lost. Diane eventually managed to walk out.
It took rescue parties five days to find Pike; he had apparently fallen from a canyon ridge about sixty feet onto a ledge. Baked in the merciless sun, his body was already in an advanced state of decomposition.
David Robertson has written a compelling, instructive account of a life ostensibly given up in the service of the church, but which will strike many readers as a tragic catalogue of squandered—or rejected—opportunities.

Marcy Recumbent Mag Cycle – Best Recumbent Exercise Bike
A couple of days ago, a good friend of mine, asked me if I could help him choosing a good quality exercise bike in the "up to 200$" range. As he is a big guy and used to experience problems with his back, I suggested to restrict the research to recumbent bikes as due to his health problems recumbent bikes are much more easy to use and allow for longer workouts. I was a semi-professional cyclist for several years and due to my time restrictions I have been using exercise bikes during the last two to three years. As usual, I started where I could find most user reviews i.e. on Amazon. There I selected all the best selling recumbent bikes in the selected price range with enough user reviews and my extensive research finally led me to the Marcy ME709 Recumbent Mag Cycle.Full Review

Serial bank robber stung by hidden GPS device
By KIM JANSSEN Federal Courts Reporter firstname.lastname@example.com January 11, 2013 5:24PM
Chicago Bureau of the FBI 1997 mugshot of Sharkey Elam, charged with robbery of bank in the Water Tower
Updated: February 14, 2013 6:46AM
Serial bank robber Sharkey Elam felt the familiar heft of a stack of crisp $20 bills in his hand as he made his latest getaway Thursday afternoon, prosecutors say.
But the 67-year-old veteran of more than a dozen heists may have been deceived by his own eyes and touch. A teller at a downtown First American Bank had handed the robber just $80 — four $20 bills sandwiched around a phony, hollowed out stack of cash containing a GPS tracking device.
Elam would soon be experiencing another familiar feeling — arrest, by Chicago cops.
Suspected of robbing six banks since Dec. 5, Elam was nabbed shortly before 3 p.m. Thursday — just 20 minutes and 2.2 miles from the First American Bank he'd allegedly robbed at 33 W. Monroe.
One of the city's most persistent bank robbers, Elam has previously endured nicknames including the "Lunchbag bandit" and the "Pot-bellied bandit" but has lost weight since he was described two decades ago by an FBI spokesman as a "big fat slob who looked like he swallowed a basketball." He has also served lengthy prison sentences for previous bank robbery convictions in 1989, 1993 and 1997.
According to a federal complaint filed Friday, none of those indignities was enough to persuade him to stop.
He'd already allegedly targeted the Loop branch of First American Bank during his recent crime spree on Dec. 26. And when he went back Thursday to rob it again, he told a teller, "Don't say anything, just give the money. I only want hundreds," the complaint alleges.
Instead, the teller handed him the disguised tracking device.
In addition to the First American robberies, Elam is suspected of robbing a Bank of America at 2401 N. Clark on Jan. 5, and three other banks. He was ordered held without bail Friday by U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael T. Mason.

Can anyone recommend an airbrush kit for decorating chocolate sculptures. I don't exactly know how to shop for one but I know what I need it to do:
1. Can handle colored cocoa butter or colored products compatible with chocolate.
2. Has the ability to not only make fine lines but soft sprays (duel-action is it?)
3. Has a quiet(ish) motor.
4. Can be used with luster, pearlecent and/or metallic materials.
5. Price isn't as important as reliability to me, but I'm hoping to see a general range in what I'd have to spend.
I'm open to any suggestions from a good starting out kit to one that lasts for years and years.
Thanks so much!

WASHINGTON DC, January 2, 2013- I do not usually write product reviews, but after realizing that everyone in my family owns a SodaStream, I thought I would share why I (we) like it so much.
Even though we are not a big soda-drinking household, we drink a lot of sparkling water and have begun to experiment with our own soda flavors. My aunt gave us a soda stream about two years ago and it has changed the way we view carbonated drinks.
What I like is that I can make soda or sparkling water at any time, I can make it as carbonated or as sweet as I like it, and there is a lot more room in my refrigerator. I also feel like I'm doing something good for the environment.
What I like
According to the SodaStream website, it costs you $.25 to make a can of soda or sparkling water with the soda stream. I do not know if this includes the price of the soda maker itself, (which can run from $69.99 to $130), the special bottles (one comes with the soda maker, extras are $19.99 for a two-pack) and the carbonator cans (one comes with the soda maker, refills are $14.99 new are $29.99). A note on refills and new carbonators below.
Steven H. Saltzman at Consumer Reports estimates that the machine should pay for itself after around 300 bottles of soda.
Less waste, better for the environment
Another reason I like the SodaStream is that we don't waste as many plastic bottles or soda cans as before. SodaStream claims to be an "Active Green" product, which reduces an individual's CO2 footprint the more it is used. According to SodaStream, if you use their product instead of buying soda at a store, "less plastic (is) manufactured, less plastic waste is created, and fewer bottled beverages must be transported from manufacturers to distributors to stores to homes."
I'm not an environmental expert and don't know if using a SodaStream will actually reduce your CO2 footprint. However, I can say that we personally waste a lot less in terms of bottles and cans, and have much more room in our refrigerator.
Make soda how you like it
One of my favorite features of the SodaStream is that since you add carbonation gradually by pressing the button on the soda maker, I can make my soda as fizzy or flat as I like it. Also, since you add the flavor syrup, you can make your soda as sweet or as light as you want.
As I said before, I'm not a big sugary soda fan. However, I have tasted the various flavors, and in my opinion, they taste pretty much like the real thing. Soda Stream also has every popular flavor you can think of.
Almost never run out of soda
The final thing that I love about the SodaStream is that since you have to use so little syrup, you almost never run out of soda. This is a huge plus at parties or when you can't make it out to the store that often.
What I dislike
You can't travel with it
When I got the SodaStream, I though that it would be a great gift for my father-in-law in Greece. However, you are not allowed to carry or check the SodaStream carbonators in your luggage on an airplane and you cannot send them in the mail.
Luckily SodaStream products can be found around the world- except for Greece.
Getting the soda to taste just right
Since you have to measure the syrup yourself and add it to the bottle after you carbonate the water, it may take a few times to get it to taste like "real" Coca-Cola or Fanta, but it is pretty easy to gage after a few tries.
Also, you measure the sticky syrup with the cap, which can be a bit messy.
A word on carbonators
I have found that the most expensive part of using the SodaStream is the carbonators. However, I find that a single carbonator lasts us about one month. Luckily, you can buy a refilled carbonator instead of a new one for half the price. Finally, it is not that difficult to find the carbonator cans or refills; they are on Amazon and at almost every home-goods store.
However, you cannot walk down to any local grocery store or deli and get a carbonator- like you can a bottle of soda. However, with a little planning and a spare carbonator, you should be fine.
Making your own syrups
There are tons of articles online about "going rouge" with your SodaStream. Some are hilarious and others are quite informative. Just type "homemade soda syrups" into any search engine. A word of caution: NEVER put anything but water in the bottle before you carbonate it.
Believe me, we've survived a few explosions and they are not fun and extremely messy. It may also damage your soda maker. Nevertheless, after you've carbonated the water and put the machine safely away, go crazy.
John's Ginger Ale Syrup
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 cups water
3 Tbs. peeled and sliced ginger
10 cardamom pods
4 star anise pods
1 tsp whole allspice
1 tsp whole peppercorns
- In a small pot over medium heat, combine sugars, water, and ginger.
- In a separate skillet, toast the rest of the spices over medium high heat for about 30 seconds or until fragrant
- Add toasted spices to the sugar and water mixture and bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer
- Simmer for 20 minutes
- Remove from heat and allow to steep until cool
- Strain cooled mixture through cheesecloth or a fine mesh strainer and refrigerate in a glass jar or container.
All in all, I love my SodaStream and continue to give it as a gift and recommend it to friends and family. Everyone that owns one really loves it.

The windshield vent fit fine, was an easy install. My only issue with J&P is the number of emails I get from them. Even if I could afford to do EVERYTHING I want to do to my bikes, I still don't need an email EVERYDAY! Their Gold club wouldn't be a real value unless you are planning to spend hundreds of dollars on their site in a year. Most likely, I won't return to this site due to the number of mails I get and the fact they want a bribe to get a couple bucks as a better price. I am not made of money and will find the stuff I need locally.

Hero Cycles Ltd, the world's largest cycle manufacturer today laid the foundation of a new manufacturing plant in Bihar's Bihta Industrial Park that is set to extend the company's production capacity by a million units per annum.
The ground breaking ceremony for the new plant was presided over today by Hero Cycles Chairman Mr O P Munjal and Co-chairman and Managing Director Mr Pankaj Munjal in Bihar Government's ambitious Logistic and Industrial Park in Bihta, 37 km from Patna. Bihar Industry Minister Dr. Renu Kumari was also present on the occasion as chief guest along with key officials from the state.
The new manufacturing unit in Bihta is expected to become operational in 2014 and will be Hero Cycles Ltd's third such production facility in the country and the first outside Punjab.
"This plant is part of our strategy to not only expand production but also look for a manufacturing presence outside our traditional ground in Ludhiana. This new plant will add to our production capacity by a million and will produce for the region," said Mr O P Munjal.
The company currently produces from its manufacturing plant in Ludhiana and by 2014 a second manufacturing plant is set to become operational in Mangli, Punjab.
"It is with great pride that we are establishing our new manufacturing plant in Bihta and we thank the government of Bihar for extending all support to us. Going forward we plan to dedicate this manufacturing plant to cater to the supply needs of the eastern Indian market. This plant will primarily meet the demands of the domestic market," said Mr Munjal, while addressing the gathering after the Bhoomi Poojan ceremony.
Addressing at the occasion, Mr. Pankaj Munjal, Co-chairman and Managing Director, said "Our Bihta plant will be equipped with most modern shop floor, best production facility and most advanced material handling. This is also going to be one of its kind plant in Bihar as it will have PUF shed which keeps the inside temperature of the plant 10 degree Celsius lesser than outside, giving the workers congenial working environment. This technology has been especially commissioned keeping in mind hero cycle's core philosophy of providing best place to work for its people."
"This market is very critical for us as East Indian market makes for nearly 30 per cent of 155 lakh cycles market of india. Hero cycle leads the market with 53 per cent share in eastern region and in Bihar our position is much stronger with 64 per cent market share," he added.
The produce from this plant will initially be used for the consumption of Bihar and jharkhand. The second phase will also help us to meet the demands from neighbouring states of Odissa, West Bengal and Chhattisgarh as well as other eastern states. This plant will also help us in exporting through Calcutta port to south Asian countries on much faster pace with lesser freight cost, he further said.
The Bihta plant, also likely to start operations by next year, is being built at a project outlay of Rs 40 crore and is expected to produce largely for the eastern Indian market.
"The mega industrial part in Bihta is a lucrative location and we are thankful to the government of Bihar for supporting and enabling our endeavor to establish a major plant here," said Mr Sanjay Singh, Vice President, Corporate Planning, Hero Cycles Ltd.
The ceremony was held in the presence of Mr. S.K. Rai, M D Works, Mr. G D Kapoor, Director Marketing and Sales, and Mr. Ankur Thakur, Vice President, Marketing, among others. Hero Cycles has a production capacity of 5.60 million and a turnover of Rs 1450 crore.

"Obviously these are the perfect invites for a woodland themed baby girl baby shower. I instantly fell in love with the design. They're just so stinkin cute! I'm so glad I ordered these beautes. Love love love them <3"
"The fox caught my eye - I just love it! I kept the square corners and used the Willa Bold font for mommy's name. Mom-to-be loves vintage colors and styles and I thought this was the perfect bit of whimsy. She LOVES the card. I love the pink wood grain on the back of the card. There is not a lot of room for text on the front so I printed registry info on clear labels and placed on back."
"We upgraded this invitation to the luminescent paper, it looks so nice! Got many compliments on how cute/adorable the cards are. Totally recommend this item."
"Very happy with how the invitation turned out. I used the pearl finish. It compliments the design perfectly! There were two hosts of the baby shower & this design allowed for both of our names & phone numbers to be included. Fast turn around. I received a noticed that it was ready for delivery, the day after I placed the order. The card turned out so cute that I can't stop looking at it!"
"I absolutely loved this invitation. I was able to customize all of the information to fit my needs. The paper it was printed on was beautiful. I am disappointed in the envelopes that were sent with them. I ordered square envelopes, which is a must for this invitation, and got rectangular envelopes. Beautiful invitations!!"

She is an awesome testimony of how faith, endurance and the willingness to recognize all the gifts that we have been given, and make the very best of them. Thanks for being a coach who leads by example."
