Alright, heists in Grand Theft Auto Online look terrific. It's been a long wait, and we're not done waiting just yet -- Rockstar says the free update for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One will arrive in early 2015 -- but at least we've got something to look at, finally. Eases the tension.
Speaking to IGN, GTA Online producer Imran Sarwar admits designing four-player heists "turned out to be a lot more difficult than we originally thought [and] took several passes from scratch." One challenge, he says, "is that unlike a heist in Story Mode, every player needs to feel central to the action at all times, and that's much more challenging than it appears."
The final design sounds cool. The leading player will have to put money down to set up a heist and won't receive a payout until the finale is finished, but they have control over the crew, their outfits, and their cuts. "Switching between the roles of crew member and heist leader will give players a totally different experience," says Sarwar. "Some missions have all players working as one unit, some require players to take on specific tasks like hacking or crowd control, while others require players to split into smaller teams to complete separate high value objectives."
Each heist, of which there are "five unique strands involving over 20 total missions," will culminate in a set-piece mission. "I don't want to spoil a whole heist," says Sarwar, "but a favorite would be the finale of an epic prison break where players come from different points on the map to join together at just the right time. It requires a pilot, a demolitions expert, and some undercover work to pull it off, and it takes real teamwork, the ability to think fast and a lot of communication to put all the pieces in place to extract the target flawlessly."

Devil May Cry returns next year but not with an all-new installment. I know, I know. But this is the age of higher-res re-releases, after all. Capcom will launch DmC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition ($39.99 / €39.99) on March 17, 2015 and Devil May Cry 4 Special Edition (price to be announced) in summer 2015 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
No more talk about how 30 frames per second feels right for DmC; the Definitive Edition runs at a smooth 60 frames per second. The updated game includes all the DLC, a higher difficulty setting, a 20-percent-faster Turbo Mode, Hardcore Mode, popular community mods, and new character skins like Devil May Cry 1 Dante and Classic Vergil. DmC has also been rebalanced.
If you only care about DMC4, not DmC, skip to 1:45 for a quick word from Vergil. Capcom isn't sharing much about the new special edition and notes it'll say more "in the coming months."view full story + comments

[Sup Holmes is a weekly talk show for people that make great videogames. It airs live every Sunday at 4pm EST on Youtube, and can be found in Podcast form on Libsyn and iTunes.]
Last Sunday on Sup Holmes we had a spirited chat with April and Christian, creators of the newly funded fighting game Pocket Rumble. We talked about the allegations that the game uses stolen graphics, how designing a fighting game can make you better at playing them, the pros and cons of damage scaling, Marvel Vs. Capcom 2 Vs. Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, balancing ease of operation with depth, antler headed boys and a lot more. Designing a fighting game is no small feat. Thankfully, Cardboard Robot is so in love with the genre that I have no doubt that the'll make something great with Pocket Rumble.
Thanks again to April and Christian for being on the show, and tune in today at 4pm EST when we welcome Mike Mika to the program. Mike's probably most famous for creating the playable Pauline in Donkey Kong hack. We'll be talking about that, his game-ography at Other Ocean, his upcoming "Game that is literally anything" title #IDARB, and a lot more.
We're also going to give out some codes for #IDARB, so be sure to tune in if you want to try it out.view full story + comments

Closing out the incredibly tense Capcom Cup, Capcom producer Yoshinori Ono surprised the audience with a live demo of Street Fighter V. With the audience giving them their full attention, Mike Ross and Combofiend, both legendary players within the fighting game community, took the stage to compete in the world's first public match in Street Fighter V.
While you're sitting there, not admitting that you love Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off," why not get down to this. Sick. Beat? Seriously though, this is an amazing parody of a catchy song for all Dota 2 fans.

The attention to detail
I got out of the shower and the edge of the shower was very high. I fell out and because the bathroom floor is tiled. I fell really badly with my feet being wet
The location and property were very good. The views are amazing from the bedrooms and visitor lounge. Good parking. The host Bharat is charming and professional.
I could not find fault with the accommodation, we were not there long enough. If I have to find fault and be really picky the coffee in the room had solidified. The breakfast was really tasty, cooked how you liked it.
* Beautifully decorated, spacious bedroom and sitting area, with an excellent shower room. The sitting room with superb views looked extremely inviting and luxurious. * Kindness of the owners, who went that 'extra mile' to make our stay a good one. * Excellent breakfast.
Beautiful modern bungalow with charming owners in quiet location yet easily accessible to town centre. Good choice of food at breakfast time.
Approach from town riddled with speed humps and steep drive on property itself. Provision of toiletries etc. in bathroom very limited albeit adequate for one night stay.
Perfect place to go. Very hospitallity
This B&B is nicely located on the hills to the North of town - we walked into town for dinner; it took about 20 mins. The room was large and spotlessly clean. The welcome was very friendly -- before we arrived we were emailed to ask whether we wanted help with dinner, taxis etc. Breakfast was lovely: cereals, toast (decent bread) and well cooked English. Great value and a lovely stay.
Everything about the accommodation was excellent and the host could not have been more helpful.
Just a little farther out of town than I had expected.
The location is tough, and unclear, especially if you arrive without a car.
The house, and surrounding area were beautifully kept. Bharat and Anne were lovely proprietors, very friendly, helpful and always smiling. The rooms are spacious, well kept, and we would highly recommend them if anyone is staying in the are. Very close to town and most ammeneties too, whilst being in a location that offers quietness for a good nights sleep. Excellent.
The only thing we personally thought was disappointing is the fact you cannot pay the bill by card, staying for a couple of nights is easily affordable in cash, however, a week or longer would prove costly for some people.
Everything. Very comfortable, good location for sightseeing in Monmouthshire. Good breakfast. Welcoming.
Monmouth is well located for day trips to explore south Wales. B&B is within walking distance of good restaurants. Bharat and Ann are excellent hosts.
Lovely friendly ans comfortable I would stay again
This is not a b&b as you imagine it is more like a hotel. Excellent in every aspect. If there is a better b&b than this I would be suprised.
Bharat and Ann could not have been more hospitable. A lovely house with every amenity and splendid views. A breakfast to die for. Would thoroughly recommend and hope to return one day.
Great location, wonderful owners, very comfortable bedroom, large well-appointed bathroom, use of delighful sitting room, delicious breakfast
The room was large and very comfortable with all facilities. Relatively modern it is clearly a 4-5 star establishment. Bharat and Ann were excellent hosts, and Bharat cooks an amazing breakfast.
Extraordinary. Best B & B we've ever been . Wonderful rooms, breakfast on request, friendly host, etc.. Dirk and Monique.
The room was very luxurious but it also felt like a home away from home. I liked the coffee and tea selection as there was a lot of variety. The bed was very comfy and large. Everywhere was spotless and the hosts were very warm and welcoming.
The owners were fantastic. Made me welcome and nothing was too much trouble. The views are amazing from this venue.
This is a bed and breakfast so no evening meal but they made me aware of that before I arrived.
All of it floor less stay.
Friendly, welcoming hosts. Fresh Clean decor Comfortable, spacious lounge Beautiful view Lovely breakfast
Quite remote Not walkable to restaurants/shops
we were made very welcome and served an excellent breakfast nothig was too much trouble.
Torlands is well situated with lovely views. The house is beautiful & Bharat & Anne couldn't be more friendly & helpful. We'll definitely stay here again if we're in that part of the world.
Extremely hospitable and friendly. A lovely house with lovely rooms. Nothing is too much trouble. A lot of information about the area such as taxis and restaurants was provided.

What are you all reading this week? I'm still reading The Watchtower by Lee Carroll.

I'm reading The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny. I also started The Witness by Nora Roberts because I had to charge the battery on my kindle. I haven't read one of her books for years but it caught my eye at the library and so far it's pretty good.

Re-reading Jodi Piccoult's My Sister's Keeper. It was the book club book I was supposed to have finished last month, but never had time so I'm trying to get through it as book club is Monday night (3 days from now) and I've not yet started that book. I may have to skip that book and just start in with the one we'll discuss in October.

I finished The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny. Once I start one of her books, I have trouble putting it down. I'll go back to finishing The Fudge Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke on my kindle and one of the other books I have sitting here with bookmarks in them. I had some in progress when I had a flood of library books all come in at the same time.

EU says Iran stalling on nuclear programme talks
Published on Jan 24, 2013 6:32 AM
BRUSSELS/DUBAI (REUTERS) - Iran is stalling on fixing a date and location for a new round of talks on its nuclear programme, the European Union's (EU) foreign policy chief said on Wednesday, but there is still hope that talks between Teheran and six world powers can begin soon.
EU officials have been in contact with Iranian negotiators repeatedly since December to try to prepare a new set of talks, which the West hopes will lead to Iran scaling back its nuclear work and avert the threat of another war in the Middle East.
But they have failed to agree on a plan so far.
"We proposed concrete dates and a venue in December," said a spokesman for Ms Catherine Ashton, who oversees contacts with Iran on behalf of United States (US), Russia, China, France, Britain and Germany, often referred to as the six world powers.

Sailing Adventure Leadership Training
Aiming to take our commitment of character and leadership building to the next level, Surfing The Nations is excited to add a new leadership training program to its roster: S.A.L.T. – Sailing Adventure Leadership Training!
This program gives senior STN staff and volunteers the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to set sail around various Hawaiian Islands on a 96-foot sailboat, SSV Makani Olu, for one week. STN will partner up with The Marimed Foundation for this incredible excursion. Marimed was established in 1984 and delivers ocean and land-based learning experiences that empower youth, adults and families and strengthen communities (http://marimed.org/ ). Not only will the adventure develop skills in teamwork, decision making and adaptability, but STN staff will fully crew the ship: flexing their leadership skills by managing and operating the vessel over a continuous period, day and night, in some of the most intense ocean settings.
The trip will be an experience in what it means to be a true waterman. It will draw on each staff member's endurance – mental and physical – and teamwork skills to achieve the team's goals in the face of difficult challenges, unfamiliar obstacles and some of the harshest natural elements. Water-based activities the crew will also be participating in include snorkeling, free diving, spearfishing and fishing, while enjoying remote hikes during their anchorages.

The 17th Annual Indonesia trip has come to a close. I had the amazing opportunity to lead this adventure trip full of amazing people. Our diverse team of 21 included surfers, photographers, musicians, college students, and a family of four!
We started in Kuta, Bali and over the course of three and a half weeks, went to Bingin, Uluwatu, and Desert Point on Lombok. After that, we jumped on a boat for 7 days to Gili, Sumbawa and Nusa Lembongan. The Indo trip being a surf tour, the team got great surf at world class breaks: Impossibles, Scar Reef, Desert Point, and Shipwrecks, just to name a few. At one point, we sailed through such rough waters that our boat nearly capsized, beating any roller coaster ride money could buy, and causing us all to laugh uncontrollably as we slipped across the boat.
When trying to describe the overall experience of Indonesia, I find myself coming back to the same word:
The surf was both perfect and threatening, the culture was colorful and bold, and the wildlife is up close and personal, a lesson quickly learned from repeat monkey invasions! The nature around us was captivating: the cliffs of Uluwatu, the views of Bingin Beach, the long jaw-dropping barrels at Desert Point, and the breathtaking views of rugged Sumbawa.
On top of getting amazing surf and a ton of laughs, we were consistently reaching out to the communities around us. One of the most amazing experiences was when we were in Desert Point on Lombok.We met a man who had his house halfway built and needed the funds and work to finish it. We had a contractor and a carpenter on the team with us, so they went to his house to check it out.After assessing the need and figuring out what we could do, the team pooled together and provided enough funds for him to get 20 days worth of labor and all the supplies he needed to have his house completed. This man was just one of the people we were able to help on the trip. We passed out clothing and school supplies everywhere we went, helped meet practical needs whenever we could, hung out with the locals, and made lifelong friends.
We also had Cameron Taylor with us, a Hawaii bodyboarder sponsored by Empire bodyboards.Empire generously stocked Cameron up with some brand new bodyboards to give to the kids in one of the most remote locations, Desert Point village on the island of Lombok. When you saw the kids get the chance to play on a board in the waters that they live right in front of their entire lives, you know it's a gift that will keep on giving.People ask me if Indonesia was good, and I tell them Indonesia was everything: It was good, it was fun, it was hard, it was tiring, it was crazy, it was totally different from anything I've done, it was adventure at its essence, and it was worth every second!

Hurricane Playlist: Pepa Knight
I sat in the Surfers Coffee Bar on an ordinary work day, trying to think of a band to write about for a weekend music feature.My friend, Tyler, was visiting from California and plopped down next to me as I stared blankly at my screen, weary from browsing. Seeing the chance to get some fresh ideas, I asked him to tell me a good band that I may have not heard of before. He grabbed his phone, scrolled through some music and threw out a name that was to become my new favorite band: 'Jinja Safari'.
Fast forward to a few years later: Still growing in popularity and stretching beyond the borders of their native Australia, Jinja not only thrives as a group, but is made up of insanely talented solo musicians. Cofrontman of the band, Pepa Knight is one of those who has branched out to produce a solo project, and the first samples are TASTY.
Today, we introduce you to perhaps his most popular single, 'Rahh!'
Pepa creates a surprising sound, picking colorful, lesser-used instruments like the sitar and the flute to accompany soothing, yet energy-filled vocals.
'Rahh!'s use of drums- a very significant and spiritual instrument in many cultures- sets it all to life; carrying the song and waking you up with the rhythm of adventure. Jinja Safari was inspired by the sounds of the world, with frontman Marcus Azon crafting the feel and even the name of the band after his experiences in Jinja, Uganda. Pepa recently took a trip himself across India and that has heavily inspired what he's written.
The fact that the creator of the music is a globe-trotter himself may explain the vagabond feeling that you get when you hear "Rahh!'
It's a song that seems made to accompany an epic sun rise; a reminder of the fresh and the new. It was made for one of those car rides where your arm stretches out of your window, and your fingertips float with the curves of the wind. It's an 'I'm awake to the world and going somewhere!' song.
Inspiring, fun, refreshing.
It's everything you want your weekend, or your life for that matter, to be.
Enjoy the sounds of Pepa Knight and follow him here as you wait for the release of the full album 'Hypnotized' in April 2015!
BLSD Project Hawaii Is Blessing The Kids Of Wahiawa
STN is excited to announce that the Ulu Pono kids program has been chosen as the first ' one for one' project by local apparel company Blessed Project Hawaii (BLSD).
Although a free T-Shirt for someone in need may seem like a small act, we believe that it can lead to greater and bigger acts of kindness ,progression, and togetherness. We would also like to raise an awareness of selflessness and the spirit of giving. For who ever wears "BLSD" apparel, we want them not to just look good but to feel good as well."
For every shirt that BLSD sells, they will give one to a child in the Ulu Pono Kids program. It is a very special and often rare thing for the kids to be able to get brand new clothing items. It will be an amazing way to invest in a child and show them they are worth it!
Ohai Family Festival
Today's blog comes from Katie Connor, the director of STN's Ulu Pono program. To see more photos and read more about her life working with the kids of Wahiawa, visit her blog.
Do you remember your first piano recital or football game? The weeks of practice and the butterflies in your stomach? Do you remember looking up into the bleachers or squinting from the bright stage into the dark crowd? And there they were: the people who had pushed (maybe slightly forced) you to be there. They looked at you with love and pride, trying to mask their own anxiety for you. They belonged to you; they were your parents.
I remember many moments like this growing up and I long for those moments now when I'm living thousands of miles away. But the kids I work with don't ever get moments like that. Maybe mom and dad are too busy, or gone completely, or just uninterested. Many of the kids have never been to a soccer practice or a ballet class. The street is where they spend their afternoons. The street and the Ulu Pono Kids Program. They may never hear their parents tell them how proud they were or that it was okay that they dropped the final pass. Often times it just isn't a part of their culture. But that doesn't mean that we can't tell them we are proud of them! So this weekend, that is exactly what we did!
The Ohai Family Festival was a dream that we had cultivated for over a year before it came to pass. Many hours of dreaming, hoping, wishing and planning came to life in a beautiful afternoon. For four hours last Saturda,y everything was about the kids. The games, the prizes, the music, the shave ice. All because we were proud of them and we loved them.
Half way through the afternoon, we awarded each child from the program a "Character Award" they were called up on stage in front of everyone and amazingly there were even some parents in the crowd. They got a hug, a certificate, encouragement and an affirmation by different staff members. Most of them got really shy about it, red cheeked and squirming they got on stage and while they acted like they wanted to run off the stage, I know them better than that. They love, love. Don't we all?
It's hard to gauge success when working with kids. How do you measure "getting into less trouble" or "headed on a better path"? Three days after the festival, I went to pick up a 5 year old boy from his home. I know his parents well and his mom had come to the festival. I walked through the living room that consists of several mattresses and barely enough room to walk and picked up his baby sister out of the crib. That's when I spotted it. His purple certificate pinned amongst the mess up on the wall. My heart swelled with pride and I choked up as the reality that his parents had taken the time to make sure his award was hung really sunk in. That is the kind of "success" I want to see. The kind that transforms an entire family from the inside out. -KC
Stumptown Brings SCB To The Next Level
The Surfers Coffee Bar got an extra jolt last Friday morning with a visit from Stumptown's very own David George. This seven-year veteran with Stumptown Coffee Roasters took the five hour flight from Portland to Wahiawa to up the expertise of the already "Top 10 Coffee Shops in Hawaii" placeholder.
SCB Barsita, Karen Domingo was thrilled to have the opportunity, and recognizes the benefits it will have on Surfers Coffe Bar: ""In general, I think it was important that all of our baristas were trained together. Not only do we know we're on the same page, but we're all following the same high standards. David is a good teacher- he taught us important barista basics- from from pulling a great shot if espresso, to steaming milk, making latte art, brewing a simple pourover, and properly caring for our machines. He even explained more about Stumptown as a company. Since we are a non-profit, it was key for us to know the good work behind Stumptown's good coffee. They know their farmers and give them fair wages directly, which in turn has given the farmer's communities a better quality of life (education, medical support, proper housing). When we use our motto "more than a cup of coffee" we know that we're not just helping our home community, but we're supporting other communities worldwide.
We invite you to come in and take a seat as we warm up your mornings with a perfectly poured Americano. The Surfer's Coffee Bar is stoked to serve StumpTown Coffee Roasters with excellence by our trained full time volunteer staff. Whether or not you're the coffee connoisseur that can identify the origin, aroma and taste of the pulled shot of coffee in your cup; or you're the simple kind that just needs a cup of joe and a bagel to go, The Surfers Coffee Bar is ready to serve you! Mahalo to Stumptown Coffee Roasters for helping us bring Wahiawa a better cup of coffee!
Aloha, Clark
Iconic Hawaiian artist Clark Takashima tragically passed away last weekend and here at STN we are saddened by the loss of this friend and supporter. Clark was not only a famous surf artist on the island, but had a heart to give back through his passion. He was a returning headline artist in several of our art shows and generously donated a portion of the sales made to our kids' program, Ulu Pono.
Mahalo for your contribution to art on the island and being part of inspiring the kids in this at-risk neighborhood to pursue art.
Thank You From The Heart
We are so grateful for the people that believe in transformation and hope, and our efforts would be fruitless without them. Below are the contents of a special note we received recently from such a person:
"Dear Mr. Bauer,
So much positive changes are occurring right in front of our eyes because of your determined efforts! We are all beginning to set claims and pride on our residency in what is becoming the beautiful Wahiawa we always hope for, despite numerous negative issues. Your efforts are too often overlooked by us. Many decent businesses are now willing to "chance" Wahiawa while earlier we were overlooked as a possible risk.

Far Infrared Sauna
Infrared Sauna has an excellent reputation for detoxifying metal and chemical contaminants from the body. An excellent therapy on its own or as an adjunct to other natural methods of detoxification.
European Facials
A European facial does for your skin what a month of exercise and good nutrition does for your body – noticeably improve its look and feel. If you want your skin to look its best you have to take care of it.
Therapeutic massage involves the manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body to prevent and alleviate pain, discomfort, muscle spasm, and stress; and, to promote health and wellness.
Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin.
Chemical Exfoliation
Chemical exfoliation has many different effects on different skin types. If you have acne prone skin, you will get a refined appearance of pores and less blemishes.
Semi-permanent hair removal that removes the hair from the root. New hair won't grow back in the area for 2 to 8 weeks, however, some might start to see regrowth in only a week.

Optimal Detector for Discrete Transmit Signals in Gaussian Interference Channels
Free registration required
Executive Summary
This paper addresses the design of optimal and near-optimal detectors for a practical interference channel scenario where the transmitters employ discrete modulation schemes. The conventional detectors, which either ignore the interference or successively detect then cancel the interference, typically assume that the desired signal and/or the interference are Gaussian. This paper proposes detectors that explicitly take into account the modulation formats of both the desired signal and the interference. The optimal Maximum-Likelihood (ML) detector that minimizes the probability of detection error for a given set of modulation schemes is derived first.

FINRA fines Barclays Capital, Citigroup Global Markets, others $43.5M total
FINRA announced that it has fined 10 firms a total of $43.5M for allowing their equity research analysts to solicit investment banking business and for offering favorable research coverage in connection with the 2010 planned initial public offering of Toys"R"Us. FINRA fined the following firms. Barclays Capital (BCS) - $5M; Citigroup Global Markets (C) – $ 5M; Credit Suisse Securities (CS) – $5M; Goldman, Sachs & Co. (CS) – $5M; JP Morgan Securities LLC (JPM) – $5M; Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (DB) – $4M; Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Inc.

In addition, FINRA found that six of the 10 firms — Barclays, Citigroup, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan and Needham — had inadequate supervisory procedures related to research analyst participation in investment banking pitches. Toys"R"Us and its sponsors offered each of the 10 firms various roles in the IPO but it eventually decided not to proceed with the offering. In settling this matter, the 10 firms neither admitted nor denied the charges, but consented to the entry of FINRA's findings.

Douglass Lubahn
|Doug Lubahn
|December 20, 1946
|Psychedelic rock, Rock, Jazz, Jazz fusion
|Bass guitar
|Years active
|Elektra Records, Columbia Records
|Associated acts
|Clear Light, The Doors, Billy Squier, Dreams (band)
Douglass Lubahn (born December 20, 1946) is a psychedelic-rock/jazz-rock bassist who has played with some internationally famous bands. His work is featured on several albums recorded by The Doors.
Brief History[edit]
In 1965, Doug Lubahn was working in a ski resort in Aspen, Colorado, USA as a ski instructor, when Lubahn ran across Cass Elliot, who happened to be with a group called The Candy Store.[1][2] When Elliot and Lubahn got to know each other, she tried to encourage Lubahn to travel to Los Angeles and try to find a band there since at the time many bands were in need of bass players.[1][2]
Musical career[edit]
Clear Light[edit]
Doug joined Clear Light in Los Angeles in 1966 when it was originally formed.[1] Clear Light was originally formed by Bud Mathis as The Brain Train, but when it was signed to Elektra Records the name was changed to Clear Light and Bud Mathis was fired.[1] Clear Light was the only album that the band ever created before they split off.[3] Their top song, "Mr. Blue", has been referred to as "long and a bit overbaked, but it does have an odd appeal".[4] A review by Matthew Greenwald stated that they "combined folk, rock, psychedelia, and even a touch of classical to their sound" and he continued on to say that "The end result, though, is a little ponderous and pretentious, but strangely listenable".[4]
The Doors[edit]
One day, Clear Light's producer, Paul Rothchild, came to Doug Lubahn and told him of The Doors and that they were looking for a bassist to play on some of their albums.[2] Lubahn decided that he would try it out and he played for three of their albums consisting of Strange Days, Waiting For The Sun, and The Soft Parade.[2] It got to the point that the band as a whole actually invited Lubahn to join The Doors using Rothchild as the messenger. A combination of factors including that Lubahn did not want to leave Clear Light, he declined the offer and stayed with the other band.[2]
Doug Lubahn eventually created a jazz-rock band named Dreams along with Jeff Kent. The band evolved from being a trio to a more horn-based band. Will Lee, Don Grolnick, Bob Mann, and Eddie Vernon later joined the band as a bassist, pianist, guitarist, and guitarist respectively. Unfortunately, Dreams was short lived and only lasted a year with only two albums. Dreams' only two albums were Dreams (1969) produced by legendary producer-composer and audio engineer Fred Weinberg,[5] and Imagine My Surprise (1970).[6]
Riff Raff (USA)[edit]
Lubahn also played with American rock band Riff Raff, which released Vinyl Futures on Atco Records. The album came out in 1981 and features the song "Treat Me Right" which was later recorded by Pat Benatar.[7]

Despite building a $165 million police palace with massive corruption to enrich cronies and a bonus scheme by Mayor Tom Weisner and police brass, including Kristen Ziman, to exploit a temporary "zero murder" stat, the FBI says Aurora is the top Chicago area suburb for crime.
That's right. Aurora is second to none for crime.
We can't wait for the press conferences, publicity stunts, photo ops from the same taxpayer-funded fools who knowingly ignored common sense and prudent public policy while real crime was still alive and well with actual police officers dealing with it on the streets instead of the palace.
In a story about the Top 10 Most Dangerous Towns in Illinois by CBS Chicago, Aurora ranks #1 in crime for suburbs:
"For suburban Chicago, Aurora is ranked No. 1 with a crime rate of 601 per 100,000 residents."
Kristen Ziman, a commander at the Aurora Police Department and co-founder of Blue Coward, a scheme to exploit taxpayers with a Weisner campaign crony, argued vigorously during the debate on the police bonus scheme that it was "justified."
She cannot be reached for comment.
We've also reached out to Mayor Tom Weisner. Neither he nor anyone that he gathered for photo-ops and publicity stunts to exploit a crime stat two years ago can be reached.

'I Saw the Devil' American Remake May or May Not Be a Good or Bad ThingMovie News By Rob Hunter on September 15, 2014 | Be the First To Comment
Here's the thing. It's fashionable to bash remakes from their very first announcement as unnecessary and doomed to failure, but there have been more than enough good (and even great) ones to know that's just dumb. No remake, whether good or bad, has the power to alter the original which will always be available to watch and enjoy. Of course, knowing that doesn't change the knee-jerk reaction you feel when a particularly fantastic foreign film is snatched up and scheduled for American consumption. Kim Jee-woon's deliciously brutal I Saw the Devil has been on the path towards an English-language remake since its release in 2010, but details as to who would actually be involved have been up in the air until now. The Wrap just revealed — and producer Keith Calder confirmed via Twitter — that the team behind You're Next and the recent The Guest will be writing and directing the film. Adam Wingard will direct from Simon Barrett's script, and while we're still more than a year away from a finished product there's reason to feel both excited and concerned… while still remembering that Kim's original will always be here regardless.
Korean Thriller 'I Saw the Devil' Optioned for Hollywood DilutionMovie News By Rob Hunter on December 20, 2013 | Comments (5)
Hollywood remaking foreign-language films isn't anything new, and countries as diverse as France, Japan, and Iceland have all seen their movies adapted, for better or worse, through an American lens. South Korea is a relatively new inductee into the bunch with only a handful of their films getting the Hollywood treatment leading up to this year's much maligned Spike Lee redo of Park Chan-wook's Oldboy. 2006's The Lake House was the first U.S. remake of a Korean film (based on Il Mare), and it was followed by a forgettable romantic comedy (My Sassy Girl) and a trio of horror films including Mirrors (Into the Mirror), The Uninvited (A Tale of Two Sisters), and Possession (Addicted). And that's it… for now. Per The Wrap, the latest Korean film to be slated for Hollywood reincarnation is Kim Jee-woon's brutally uncompromising and wickedly good I Saw the Devil (my review). Remake rights have been acquired by 1984 Private Defense Contractors which is headed up by Adi Shankar and Spencer Silna. The production company's past films include The Grey, Dredd, Killing Them Softly, and others, which is a bit of a confidence booster, but what to make of the following comment from Shankar?
'You're Next' Badass Sharni Vinson is the Latest Lady Deemed Tough Enough to be a "Female Expendable"Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 26, 2013 | Be the First To Comment
If producer Adi Shankar really intends on making an action movie that brings together all of the toughest females in the industry, eventually he's going to have to come up with a better title for it than Adi Shankar's Female Expendables Project, but for now that seems to be all we have to work with, so we shall do our best. Anyway, what are the details of this project? So far Shankar is said to have a script from writer Dutch Southern, casting confirmations from MMA athlete-turned-actress Gina Carano and Battlestar Galactica vet Katee Sackhoff, and now another signed deal with an up and coming actress who turned quite a few heads in theaters just this weekend. According to a report from Collider, Australian actress and You're Next star Sharni Vinson is the latest name to sign on to kick ass while having lady parts in this still-untitled ripoff of Sylvester Stallone's high-concept old man porn.
Watch: Ryan Kwanten is the Venom We Deserve in 'Truth in Journalism'Features By Scott Beggs on August 1, 2013 | Comments (45)
Last year it was Thomas Jane returning as Frank Castle in short film form to show how the character can be done bone-bendingly right. This year, producer Adi Shankar has teamed with none other than Joe Lynch (!) to deliver another solid take on an iconic comic book figure. Ryan Kwanten verbally tap dances his way through Truth in Journalism as Eddie Brock, a reporter with a particular affliction and an ax to grind against your friendly neighborhood hero. With the similar snap of Man Bites Dog, Eddie has allowed a French film crew to document his morbid daily life. In under 14 minutes, they've righted the wrongs of Spider-Man 3, and you'll probably want to stick around after the credits.
Gina Carano First Recruit for "Female Expendables"Casting Couch By Scott Beggs on September 25, 2012 | Comments (1)
According to Variety, Gina Carano has signed onto an untitled, script-less movie that was borne entirely from the middleweight success of two action flicks. Whether or not the "Female Expendables" concept-turned-movie ever gets made, we're in a unique position to watch a strange film animal being nurtured in the wild. Granted, producer Adi Shankar is no slouch despite being new to the game. He's got his name (and his company 1984 Private Defense Contractors) on action from The Grey to Killing Them Softly to the new Dredd. It's merely that this entire project is a movie poster without a movie. It's the very definition of piggybacking on a trend. Plus, it has a long way to go to assemble a solid group of female action stars. Carano is a good, and obvious, start, but the road is long even from here. Especially considering that the hook/gimmick of The Expendables was that it brought together a handful of "classic" stars with a handful of rising action talent. Ensuring they can do the same without the Y-chromosome will prove to be a serious challenge.

IBEROSTAR Papagayo
Our guests reviewsIBEROSTAR Papagayo
Evelyn Gaughan says: 12 months
excellent value for money and great facilities. would recommend
"wonderful stay. lovely resort, great hotel, great food, staff lovely, fantastic entertainment for all the family. staff went the extra mile to make sure we had a lovely christmas. brilliant, we have already stayed in iberostar in alcudia and have been delighted on both occasions. "Rating: 10,0
Jim Lambert says: about 1 year
Spotlessly clean but charges for items that should be free led to a dissapointing holiday.
"We booked this hotel because it was an Iberostar but were dissapointed in the small silly charges. e.g safe charges and deposit, internet access was really non existent in your "free" half hour thus forcing you to pay for this, nothing in the room "fridge", no drinks or food to be taken outwith bar / restaurant area without being charged for them. All this has always been free of charge everywhere we have stayed before and this led to a dissapointing experience at this hotel. Although the hotel was spotless and the entertainment staff (Fernando and Fi) were excellent, we wouldn't go back."Rating: 6,0
Chris Sellers says: about 1 year
A most pleasant experience which we would happily repeat.
"We just returned from a week in Iberostar Papagayo, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote and have to say that we found it a most pleasurable experience. Every staff member we encountered from the domestic staff to bar,restaurant and reception were really pleasant and helpful. The food and restaurant facilities were excellent. We were treated to a special room and a bottle of champagne to celebrate our wedding anniversary and my wife's birthday, which added to the experience. Thank you Iberostar, would certainly return to this hotel."Rating: 10,0

Brakes might be put on Key trolley service
Date: July 7, 2010
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key trolley system could be in jeopardy.
A grant that funds the Manatee County portion of the Longboat Key trolley route has almost expired, and local officials are trying to determine how the island's portion of the trolley service can be salvaged.
As part of a 50/50 split with Sarasota County, Manatee County has paid $285,000 annually since the Longbout route was created in June 2008.
But that grant expires this month, and the county does not have the money to continue to fund its portion of the route.
Manatee County Commissioner John Chappie, who says that the Anna Maria Island trolley route is now funded strictly through business advertising on vehicles through an effort by the Anna Maria Island Chamber of Commerce, does not want to see the service discontinued.
"I flagged this item during the county's budget process because I wanted to make sure we gave Sarasota and Longboat Key time to figure out a revenue source," he said.
In the meantime, Manatee County has agreed to fund its portion of the service through the end of its fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30.
Manatee County officials have contacted Town Manager Bruce St. Denis, who expects to make the item a topic of discussion at a future Town Commission meeting.
Currently, ridership levels for the Longboat Key trolley hover at approximately 10,000 riders per month, with numbers falling to approximately 7,500 riders per month in the summer months.
"Ridership is not bad there, and employees count on that trolley to get to work at the local hotels," Chappie said. "We don't want to damage the system."
The Manatee County Commission will discuss the trolley issue during August budget workshops.
Manatee County Area Transit Manager Ralph Hessler says that Sarasota County is willing to continue the service with a similar monetary arrangement to what is in place now, with one notable change.
Counties from both transit offices are suggesting a one-hour frequency at trolley stops as opposed to the current half-hour frequency, which would reduce both counties' costs from $285,000 per year to $116,000.
Chappie, however, hopes the counties and Longboat Key can find a way to keep the current half-hour frequency schedule.
"We don't want tourists and workers to have such a long wait time," Chappie said.
Town Commissioner Robert Siekmann is also monitoring the situation closely, calling the potential departure of the island's trolley "a big loss."
Sarasota County Commission Vice Chairwoman Nora Patterson, however, is hopeful a mutual agreement can be reached with all parties.
"It's a step backward to cancel the continuous route," Patterson said. "But there is a limit to what everyone can afford."
Trolley tidbits
The 30-minute trolley service runs continuously from 6 a.m. until 11 p.m seven days a week.
The service runs in conjunction with Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) trolley service on Anna Maria Island and Sarasota County Area Transit (SCAT).
Riders heading northbound on Longboat Key can board an MCAT trolley for continued travel to the northern tip of Anna Maria Island. MCAT trolley service is free.
It costs 75 cents to ride the SCAT route, which runs southbound from Coquina Beach, down Longboat Key, through St. Armands Circle and into downtown Sarasota.
A one-way trip from Coquina Beach to downtown Sarasota with a stop at St. Armands Circle is estimated to take about 30 minutes.
Two trolleys operate in opposite directions at all times, and one should reach a designated stop every 30 minutes.

- Let me get this straight. We have both Trolley service in both counties and SCAT and MCAT. Why the redundancy? Why not have one service and charge riders enough to cover operating expenses? I also don't believe that 10,000 riders use the buses each month. Most of the time the buses are empty or carry a handful of riders. Seems like a huge waste of money to me.
