Would you consider fast cash loans if unexpected bills suddenly popped up in your mailbox before your next payday? Taking out a payday loan has become a savior for those trying to work around a shortage of cash, and today's unforeseen expenses are making online loans very attractive in desperate times. In fact, online loans have become the tool of choice for everyone looking to locate money quickly.
Individuals rapidly turn to online cash advance loans because the lending criterion does not include any credit checks. Banks generally use a credit scoring system to determine eligibility for their financial products, and the consumer will have to qualify, not to mention the credit score will determine their interest rate. This process is time consuming and it becomes a problem when an emergency arise.
Guidelines for online loans are streamlined, thereby opening up access to cash to a bigger pool of consumers.
Eligibility criteria for an easy payday loans with no credit checks
Lenders realize that emergencies occur and not all customers are able to meet traditional lending criteria. For online cash loans, the customer is expected to meet the following requirements:
- Must be a U.S. citizen
- 18 years of age
- Have full-time verifiable employment
- Must have a valid bank account — savings or checking, but preferably a checking account
- Be able to verify identity
- Must have a contact number at home and/or work
Today, traditional lending guidelines remain strict, but there are many vendors offering online unsecured loans for borrowers looking for flexible guidelines and instant approval. For the most part, consumers can choose between using a direct lender or a loan broker for online loans.
Applying to a Direct Lender
Direct loan lenders deal directly with the consumer, once the application is submitted the lender will verify the information and if approved, transfer funds the next business day.
Another benefit of a direct lender is time. When dealing directly with the lender, there is only one application to complete. Brokers require multiple applications, based on the different lender criteria; however, this isn't always a disadvantage, but you certainly spend a lot of wasted time completing multiple applications.
Yet, even better, one of the primary unspoken benefits of dealing directly with lenders is the savings on the loan. Consumers are the ones who pay the brokers commission. For every new loan, the direct lender compensates the broker with a small percentage. This helps to accommodate the broker's commission for bringing in business.
It may seem that direct loans are the smart way to go, but brokers bring some beneficial options too. Visit this site too!
Using a Loan Broker
Admittedly, dealing one-on-one with one lender makes the process much easier. If an application is denied, you're typically left on the hunt for the next lender. Brokers take your initial application and forward to several lenders at once, thus providing you more options for funding. It is definitely a time saving technique.
This is one of the downfalls for direct lenders, and while a time-saver, it still shouldn't be overlooked. Consumers waste a lot of time applying for and requesting a specific loan amount. If denied, the hunt is on for yet another loan. This is definitely a plus for brokers.
Every situation is different and determining which lender is best will depend on your circumstances.
Flexibility of Online Loans
Online cash loans have flexible terms, in fact, better than any other traditional lender. If you choose to extend your payday loan, the lender usually charges a small additional fee, which is refinanced into the total balance of your loan. Many lenders also allow multiple loan extensions.
Another benefit of an online cash loan are issues with missing a payment. Typically, missed loan payments end up as a negative on your credit report, but not with online vendors. Payday lenders do not report payments to credit bureaus.
It can be tough keeping up with bills and fast trustcash loans often help many of us make it from payday to payday.

The Brooktrails Board of Directors is expected to reconsider its support for the Highway 101 bypass around Willits at its 7 p.m. Tuesday meeting.
In March the board voted unanimously on a letter supporting the project. Only four members of the public were present at that meeting. The vote occurred the same day an overflow crowd, including many Brooktrails residents, objected to a similar pro-bypass letter proposed by the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors.
A large number of Brooktrails residents, most protesting the bypass, crowded into the Brooktrails firehouse April 9, urging the directors to retract the March pro-bypass vote. When Director Ralph Santos tried to introduce a motion to reconsider the earlier vote, no procedure existed to allow it. The board took a series of procedural actions to allow it to come back before the public on Tuesday.
During the procedural discussions, some residents accused Brooktrails board President Tony Orth of having a conflict of interest on any issue related to the bypass. Orth's spouse serves as the deputy director for administration with the Mendocino Council of Governments and is employed by MCOG Director Phil Dow. Dow has been a major supporter and driving force for the bypass for many years.
At the procedural vote setting up Tuesday's new opportunity to weigh in on the pro-bypass letter, Orth appeared to recuse himself from the meeting. Orth says, "I removed myself from the discussion.
During the meeting Orth handed the gavel to Vice President Rick Williams and then sat at his normal chair and appeared to read a book as the bypass discussion swirled around him.
Brooktrails Council Chris Neary says Orth did not recuse himself and could have voted on the procedural issue if necessary. Brooktrails directors are not required to follow Public Code 18702.5 dealing with recusal if a public conflict of interest arises, says Neary. Unlike members of the Willits City Council or the Willits city manager, Brooktrails directors are not required to follow the file "a statement disclosing his or her investments, his or her interests in real property, and any income received during the immediately preceding 12 months."
"We cannot comment on a specific situation; however, under the Political Reform Act, while all public officials are required to recuse themselves from a decision in which they have a financial conflict of interest, disqualification procedures are defined for positions set forth in Government Code Section 87200 only," according to Tara Stock of the FPPC. "So basically it is up to each agency as to whether or not to adopt disqualification procedures for other public officials (non-87200) who are required to recuse themselves."
Brooktrails policy manual Section 2.01.200 does not use the term recusal. It allows a board member to voluntarily disqualify "himself in consideration of the matter" where a conflict is caused by either state law or a "remote economic interest."
It also says the board member "may leave the board table during consideration of the matter and shall not debate or vote."

I recently moderated a panel of experts whose job is to research investments for financial advisors and individual investors. This particular panel presented the results of its research on how to manage portfolio risk and in particular, tail risk. Tail risk means the holdings in a portfolio fall in value more than two standard deviations from the average. In simpler terms, tail risk happened to most of us in the fall of 2008.
The presenters discussed the research and they agreed that there is no easy or perfect way to reduce investment portfolio risk.
Some of the strategies included using options to protect on the downside. This approach does work, but at a cost to a portfolio's return that most investors would not be willing to sacrifice. It was suggested that on average, an investment portfolio will underperform by 3 percent a year to protect the holdings from more than a 13 percent decline.
A whole new group of investments tracks market volatility, such as the VIX, and these can be blended into a portfolio. The VIX is an Exchange Traded Note that tracks the volatility of the S&P 500 option prices. Due to its performance behavior in relation to an equity portfolio, this may be costly in terms of limiting ones returns at the expense of protection.
Another way to protect a portfolio from risk involves hedge funds, as most of these did outperform the market in 2008. Hedge fund investments, in my opinion, serve as a good diversifier, but the best ones are only available by investing directly in a partnership, rather than a mutual fund structure. Under these partnerships, the minimum investment usually starts at $100,000 and liquidity is poor. Typically it takes 90 days or longer to redeem shares. Some hedge funds come in a mutual fund format, so they are more easily accessible. However, if you read the research, due to the restrictions on trading and liquidity, the mutual fund structure tends to hinder the performance.
And finally, our most seasoned panelist put it quite simply: There is no magic investment to protect your portfolio. One should follow these simple rules: Understand what you are investing in, be sure to diversify, and be willing to ride out volatility without pulling your money out of the market.
As a side note, if you were invested in the S&P 500 index three years ago and did not remove your money during the decline, you would be ahead by 1.78 percent today.

Choosing between G35x and Sport Models
I've had a tough time choosing between the versatility of the all wheel drive G35X and the additional sporty feature/looks of the Sport Model that you can't get on the X. If I lived in a very snowy climate, it would be an easy choice for me, but I live the DC area where we get some snow, but not too much.
The advantages of Sport Model to me are the sportier wheels and front grill, better performing tires (in summer), sport seats and steering wheel, lighter, better gas mileage, paddle shifters, better brakes, suspension, lower cost, less things to break, lower insurance cost (don't understand that one). The downside to the Sport is having to swap out the tires in winter, not being able to rotate tires (different sizes), less traction in bad weather.
The tires was initially a deal breaker for me, but after thinking about it, I'm OK with swapping out the Summer Tires for the first couple of years, and then just leave all season tires on it.
Anyone else thought about this? Any flaws in my logic?

myboynoy Posts: 6mrg2, I was on the same boat as you. I ended up choosing the G35x over the Sport model (just bought it today). I live in NJ and get heavy snow and rain every once in a while. I also bought the G35x because I believe that it fits my driving style and personality. I don't push the car to its limits all the time, but I still wanted a car that had some kick to it. I'm also not a car-junkie so though I will be spending a lot of time with this car, I don't see myself adding to it other than keeping regular maintenance and keeping it clean.
From what you have stated, you sound like you are willing to work on your car. What is your driving style? Are there open roads in DC that will allow you to utilize all of what the Sport model has to offer? How are the cops down there? If you are buying the Sport model just for looks, it might not be a good idea to go that route. Also consider the extra expenses that you will be putting into the car. A set of tires already puts you above an extra grand, etc. -
mrg2 Posts: 29Thanks for the feedback myboynoy. I agree the G35x probably makes more sense in New Jersey. I'm not leaning toward the Sport just for the looks -- it's also the performance and some of the features I listed. I do like to push the car sometimes, but probably will seldom push it to it's limits.
As far as the extra expense for the tires, the way I look at it, it's only the cost of changing them out. After roughly 5 years, I will have gone through two sets of of tires either way - I'll just be swapping them each Winter and Spring until the Summer tires wear out (probably a total of four times). I realize though that the summer tires will wear out a little sooner. -
kring5 Posts: 144I'm in CT which gets more snow then NJ on average and I decided on the sport because when it comes down to it, are you buying a car for the 10 days it snows and the other 40 days a year it's crappy out... or are you buying the car for the 315 days a year the AWD doesn't do anything for you.
What's your job like? I have the ability to work from home anytime I want so if the weathers really bad I just don't drive. I also happen to have a Jeep in case we do need to go out and the weather is bad.
And since your smart and are getting snow tires if you get the sport, it actually handles amazingly good, it's not AWD, but it's just as good as FWD with all-seasons on. The summer tires will last you 30-40K miles easily even if you have fun with the car (excluding lighting up the tires) after that go with the all-seasons. of if you are concerned about the summer tires, ask the dealer to swap them out for all seasons. I've seem many posts where dealers did this at no charge. I personally kept them because I too plan on doing Snows in the winter. I just picked the car up last week so I think I'm far enough through the winter that it's just not worth doing it this season.
Ulitmately the paddle shifters are amazing, I'm still in my break-in period but I am finding that I'm doing about 60% of my driving with the paddles, the 40% is when I'm just cruizing on the highway. There were many nice additions the sports model gives you over the X.
Keep in mind that if your getting the sport with additional packages you'll probably have to order the car and wait 3 months, sports are very popular and for some reason dealers aren't ordering many. -
bruceomega Posts: 250mrg2,
I also live in the DC area. The problem I find here is ice, sleet, and freezing rain are as much a problem as snow. This is compounded by drivers inexperienced with winter conditions clogging up the roads, and a density of traffic that limits your options when driving in inclement weather; e.g., forced to come to a stop on a hill, and having to start from a standstill on an incline.
FWIW, I personally like the assuredness of AWD so I don't feel hostage to road conditions. If everything else is equal; e.g., same tires, then I feel AWD is better than RWD in winter conditions.
I have an AWD sedan (330Xi) and in the snow this past weekend I found that if I stepped on the gas too hard, the car would lose traction and slide a little, so I don't think stability controls are a panacea. But the good news is the rear end did not slide out and I quickly regained control by letting up a bit on the gas.
Not sure how much any of this is a factor in your decision, but it's my $0.02 worth.
Bruce -
shredderman Posts: 1For example, if you want to pull into traffic quickly, you have a much less chance of losing the rear w/ AWD. I think it's better for overall safety. That being said, I'm still a fan of RWD, but you're comparing the two, and the comparos should not be limited to bad conditions.
FWIW, I'd get an extra set of wheels and tires. Tirerack has come awsome deals. In the long run, it will cost pretty close to the same. -
scottm123 Posts: 1,501Love these questions posted to numerous threads
The S model is a little more throttle "touchy", but they 0-60 runs are very, very close.
The X weighs a little more, but has signifigantly more grip (WOT) off the line, so runs are very close.
I don't know of any dealership that let's people take an X and an S out for numerous 0-60 beat runs... although my testdrive in the X was very fun.
If you're choosing between the X and S models and have no worries about winter weather, you'll need to compare more than just 0-60 times.
Do you like the paddle shifters, do you want a 6MT, do you want RWD or AWD, which seats do you prefer, and which ride do you find more comfortable. -
tigarddave Posts: 4OK Guys:
I bought the "X" and last month had to over the mountains in the snow (around 4-6 inches), I had no problems what so ever.
Coming back home we were in white out conditions, snowing hard with 6-8 inches (and ice) already on the ground, glad that I did not have RWD!!
PS: Living in Oregon the "X" handles great in the wet-which we have 300 days a year. -
landshark3 Posts: 7
paulo6 Posts: 93This is my story:
I own a 2006 6MT and live in Michigan. Last year we had record snow fall here in Ann Arbor. I love the car, I love the feel of a RWD. I invested in USED snow tires from ebay (I have a 2 year lease that ends in 2 weeks) and these helped. Probably there was 3 or 4 days in TOTAL that I really could not drive this car...again record snow fall. With snow tires, the rest of the winter was manageable.
But, now that my lease is over and the lease deals are not that attractive...I will pick up my 2008 G35x Sport in 2 days...I am buying that car with the 0.9% offer. Since I will be owning it I thought, I should go with the more dependable AWD, though I am getting the Sport package.
So for a couple of years, go with RWD and enjoy!

Whitewash: SUNY Buffalo Defends Controversial Shale Gas Institute
3:41 pm in Uncategorized by Steve Horn
Cross-Posted from DeSmogBlog
On Friday, SUNY Buffalo's President's Office released a lengthy and long-awaited 162-page report upon request of the SUNY System Board of Trustees that delved into the substantive facts surrounding the creation of its increasingly controversial Shale Resources and Society Institute (SRSI). The report was published in response to concern among journalists, advocacy groups, "fracktivists," and SUNY Buffalo professors and faculty that the university is transforming itself from a center of academia to a center for "frackademia."
In the spirit of "best practices" of politicially-astute public relations professionals, the report came out late on a Friday afternoon, when few people pay close attention to news and reporters have left the office for the weekend. This tactic is known as the "document dump" or "Take Out the Trash Day," in reference to a title of an episode of The West Wing.
Buck Quigley of ArtVoice noticed the report is actually dated Sept. 27, meaning SUNY Buffalo's been sitting on it for roughly two weeks, giving the public relations office plenty of time to craft a response narrative to offer to the press.
In actuality, the report is only 13 pages. The rest is Appendices.
The Meat and Potatoes of the Report
Writing with regards to SUNY Buffalo's Academic Freedom and Conflict of Interest Policy, the President's Office stated,
To ensure transparency and adherence to rigorous standards of academic integrity, we focus on identifying and managing potential conflicts of interest. If the conflicts are determined to be unmanageable, UB will not accept the funding.
As with all research at UB, regardless of the source of the funding, it is [not] the role…of the funding source to dictate the conclusions drawn by faculty investigators. This core principle is critical to the preservation of academic freedom. UB recognizes that conflicts – both actual and perceived - can arise between sources of research funding and expectations of independence when reporting research results.
The report fails to discuss the Institute's long history of courting oil and gas industry funding. As we recently reported, the gas industry explicitly acknowledged that it targets universities as a key front for legitimacy in the eyes of the public in the ongoing shale gas PR battle within the Marcellus Shale basin. This was revealed at the same conference in which the industry acknowledged it was utilizing psychological warfare tactics on citizens.
Later in the report, the President's Office stated that it has "every expectation that the faculty will conduct their public and policy-related activities as professionals, basing their conclusions on rigourous evidence and methodology." Yet, the President's Office has little ground to stand on here, given the flawed methodology of the Institute's first report, ruthlessly picked apart in May by the Public Accountability Initiative (PAI).
Responding to PAI's report, the President's Office said, "No concerns were raised by the relevant scientific community about the data used in developing the report's conclusion." Given that the scientific community generally doesn't do rapid-fire responses to reports, it's not surprising that this is the case.
On the flip side of the coin, given that four of the five peer reviewers for that report were on the payroll of the oil and gas industry, it's also obvious SRSI had its conclusions made before the "study" was ever conducted to begin with. In other words, it was an exercise in propaganda for the oil and gas industry, rather than science.
In page seven of the report, the President's Office offers a revelatory nugget: SRSI has been in the works since 2007, predating what was then the looming rapid ascendancy of the North American shale gas boom. The Office wrote [PDF],

NEW ORLEANS — Following in the footsteps of its Melorange-brand charentais melon, Monsanto's Seminis vegetable breeders are working to develop a line of specialty melons that have extended shelf life as well as good flavor.
Many of the varieties are designed to be grown during the Southern Hemisphere's summer season and exported to the U.S. during the winter. Others are being bred to bring variety to the summer melon deal.
"We're early in the business of establishing relationships with growers and retail partners to work in concert to bring them into the marketplace," said Eduardo Ayala, consumer trait account and chain manager, Woodland, Calif.
Monsanto representatives showed off the varieties and provided samples to the media and select grower-shippers at the the Produce Marketing Association's Fresh Summit Oct. 20.
During the summer, the melon market typically comprises about 85% cantaloupe and 15% honeydew, Ayala said.
"But that's not necessarily reflective of what the market wants — that's just what's available," he said.
Drawing from consumer research and development and sensory panel work, the company sought to better understand the components of flavor.
Although brix is definitely an important part of the equation, Ayala said aroma, mouth feel, crunchiness and juiciness also play into the mix.
Vicky BoydJohnny McIntier, cucurbit technology development representative, shows off some of the different specialty melons Monsanto's Seminis has in the pipeline.In the past, winter melon varieties were bred for a long shelf life because they had to endure a long trip from the Southern Hemisphere and still be marketable when they reached the U.S. But flavor, which is a difficult trait to breed for, frequently was lost.
"We know that taste during the wintertime is something that resonated with consumers," he said.
In taste tests, consumers preferred Melorange to another winter melon 83% to 17%, Ayala said. In another taste test, two-thirds favored Corsica HaOgen, a Galia-type melon, over cantaloupe.
Unlike many melons that are sold as a generic commodity, Melorange actually is a brand, and the fruit carry stickers identifying them as such.
The varieties in Monsanto's pipeline have a long shelf life as well as agronomic characteristics to make them profitable to grow, said Johnny McIntier, a cucurbit technology development representative based in Yuma, Ariz.
At the same time, breeders have reintroduced taste.
"I think it offers retailers many choices and ultimately, the consumer wins," Ayala said.

A 2-month-old Chicago Heights girl who died Sunday appears to have accidentally suffocated, police said Monday.
The infant was sleeping on her stomach in a crib with an adult-size pillow, and there were no signs of abuse, Chicago Heights Police Sgt. Joseph Bruni said.
Danae Billups was found unresponsive at 11 a.m. Sunday at her home in the 600 block of Union Avenue, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office. Danae was pronounced dead at St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights at 12:08 p.m. The official cause of her death is pending additional studies, police and the medical examiner's office said Monday.
The state Department of Children and Family Services on Sunday was investigating allegations of neglect against the mother, spokesman Jimmie Whitelow said. DCFS officials could not be reached Monday for an update on the investigation.
DCFS had no previous contact with the family, Whitelow said.

A pile of pepper jack cheese and your favorite salsa is all you need for this delicious dip. Zap it in the oven for a bit 'til it's bubbly, throw a bowl of chips alongside and it's a party!
Queso is always a huge hit at my friends' little shindigs, and this is my favorite simple way to serve it. If you feel like using a different cheese, Velveeta and Monterey jack are fine substitutes, but don't buy queso blanco or fresco cheeses; they won't melt well. Keeping it warm in a slow cooker or fondue pot will keep it creamy, but you can always microwave it for a minute here and there between chip-fulls.
Enjoy the remainder of your holidays and the New Year to come, foodie friends! I hope you have a fabulous end-of-year plan, whether it involves toasting with friends or watching the countdown in your pj's. Both sound equally enjoyable to me!
Mexican Queso Dip
Yield: Serves 8
2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Shredded Pepper Jack Cheese
1 1/4 cups (10 oz.) salsa, your favorite

Mall Walking

The Pheasant Lane Mall Walker Program, "Hearts & Soles", is designed to provide a safe, indoor location for mall walkers of all ages. This program is provided as a free service to the community and sponsored by Lowell General Hospital. The doors in the Food Court will open on Monday - Saturday at 8:00am and Sundays at 9:00am. All walkers are asked to stay on the lower level to do their walking and each time around the mall is a 1/2 mile which includes the loop in the Food Court.

 Mall Walking Club
 The Walking Club is sponsored by the generous support of Lowell General Hospital. Visit their website to learn more about their programs and services at www.lowellgeneral.org. Lowell General Hospital's commitment to comprehensive services, compassionate care and clinical excellence has earned the reputation as the leading community hospital in the Merrimack Valley. Their mission is providing healthcare that meets the highest of standards: "yours!"

 Lowell General will be providing seminars on topics of importance in the health industry throughout the year. Please check the "@ Your Mall NOW!" page on this website for a schedule of upcoming events.

 Here is how you get some great benefits of mall walking:
 . Protect your feet. If you're walking regularly, replace your shoes every six months. Over time, arch support wears away and joint and heel pain may result. A rule of thumb: If your shoe has molded itself into the shape of your foot, it doesn't have support left. You can cushion your walking shoes with insoles or thick socks.
 . Stand up straight. Maintaining good posture when you walk helps give your abs a workout. "Keep yourself straight up while holding in your ab muscles; every step becomes a mini sit-up". Most of us lean forward when we walk but we can catch ourselves easily at the mall: "Just check your posture in your reflection in the windows".
 . Vary your speeds. After warming up, choose a wing - say, Sears to Macy's - and walk fast. Slow down for a lap to catch your breath, then pick up the pace again. An interval is one fast lap plus one slow one. "Try three intervals per walk every other day". You'll build up both speed and muscle.
 . Make friends. In a mall you have a community of people from grandmothers to toddlers - who are all walking. If you meet people who are like-minded, everyone's healthy habits may rub off.

Our Security Staff is available to help with disabled vehicles. Handicap parking is also available at all entrances and is strictly enforced.
Public Transportation
The Nashua City Bus is available for a nominal fee. The City Bus makes scheduled stops at the Pheasant Lane Mall and throughout Nashua. Bus stops are located outside the Food Court entrance.

Ticketmaster, the world's leading live entertainment ticketing company, now has a retail location at select Simon® Malls Guest Services Booths.

Post subject: Good ol' oldie oldies
Hi all, been wanting to make my own thread for a while, but what is there to discuss that already hasn't been discussed? Music came to mind and I like talking about music, so why don't we?
Who else likes oldies? Well myself, I don't like every type of old music just some songs here and there that reminds of long ago...and the Beatles! My gosh, I swear they are my favorite band ever! I can go on forever about them.
Speaking of which, my cutie 8 year old sister has a crush on John Lennon. Isn't that cute? I think my Beatleyness is rubbing of on her XD
I guess I can also say I have a general distaste of today's music. Come on, Fergie? Girlicious? Please...there has to be something out there better than that. Any good music from today at all?

I love oldies - they've got such an awesome carefree vibe to them most of the time. That isn't to say that I don't like modern music though - I love it. I'm a huge concert junkie - I love live music.

If my Pandora playlists are any indication...
Flogging Molly, Metallica, Seether, Chevelle, Loreena McKinnett, Freezepop, Apocalyptica, Panic at the Disco, Pachelbel, Foo Fighters, Sarah McLachlan, Pink Floyd, and Third Eye Blind.
You should see my collection of MP3 files, I have around 2.5G of very assorted music..
The Oldies are good though, usually made even better by the fact that, no matter what town you're in, SOME station will come through clearly with Oldies. Almost like Country, which is a bit less thrilling.

@ Tenshi - only 2.5? Between mine and my fiance's computers we have close to a terabyte of MP3s XD
We both lean heavily towards classic rock and blues, though I sit more on the folksy end of the spectrum, whereas he prefers his heavier rock.
I listen to so many bands and genres I couldn't even begin to name them all here, though the list gets noticeably slimmer once you start getting out of the early 90's grunge scene and into the confusion that seems to be the predominant theme running through most genres nowadays.
Lesse... bands with a larger chunk of songs on my iTunes are... AC/DC, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Alice in Chains, Allman Brothers, Amon Tobin, Animal Alpha, BB King, Barenaked Ladies, Beach Boys, Beatles, Billy Idol, Black Crowes, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, Bruce Springsteen, Buddy Guy, Bush... and that's only through the B's ^_^;; I've also got obscene amounts of Gov't Mule, Henry Rollins (spoken word stuff, not Black Flag) and Stevie Ray Vaughan.
I do commissions!

We don't tend to
of Classic Rock as being "oldies," despite the "classic" in the name. Then you find a song you like, look up the band and find out the members are all either fogeys or dead...

Most of my favorite artists have been dead for hundreds of years...
Yep, I love Classical music. About 90% of my love for music goes to classical, the rest is split unevenly between New Age (which I think of as a lighter version of classical, so does it really count as a separate category?), Celtic, soundtracks to musicals like Newsies, Oklahoma and Phantom of the Opera, and miscellaneous else. The proportions of the last 10% fluctuate constantly, so I really wouldn't be put them in any sort of fixed order.

I tend to occupy an odd little spot (in terms of musical taste) that rest evenly between folk, pop and techno, liking each of them when mixed with something else but not the furthest extremes of each. E.g, liking Angus and Julia Stone but not Bob Dylan, Björk but not Britney, Goldfrapp but not whatever big techno people there are.
On my playlist right now is Air, Angus and Julia Stone, Architecture in Helsinki, Björk, Camille, David Bowie, Elsiane, Feist, Garbage, Gnarls Barkley, Goldfrapp, Gorillaz, Gotye, Joni Mitchell, José Gozález, M.I.A, New Buffalo, P.J Harvey, Portishead, Rasputina, Róisín Murphy, Sarah Blasko and Yann Tiersen. I've been lusting after The Presets, Tori Amos, PNAU, Ladyhawke and Holly Throsby, too.

Longest-lasting celebrity couples

UPDATED: 11:00 PM PDT Jun 24, 2014
Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas, one of Hollywood's long-time couples, may have split earlier this month, but there are plenty of other celebs who have bucked the trend and found long-lasting love, at least by Hollywood standards.

The funding comes from America's Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.
Along with his father, Lamar, both of Andrews Farms, the duo selected Bolivar County 4-H as the lucky recipients.
The check was presented to the 4-H on Monday at the Bolivar County Extension office in Cleveland.
"It feels great to give to someone locally," said Luke.
Lamar was involved with 4-H years ago and said he couldn't think of a better community group.
"I think it's a good program for young kids to get into," said Lamar. "It' a good, wholesome program."
The America's Farmers Grow Communities supports farming communities in 1,271 counties across 39 states by offering farmers the opportunity to enter to win the $2,500 donation for their favorite charity.
The Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the seed-producing Monsanto Company, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the farmers that feed, fuel and clothe the world.
Laura Giaccaglia, Bolivar County Extension coordinator and 4-H agent, said it was a thrill to receive news of the award.
"We were surprised and full of gratitude to know Andrews Farms wanted to choose 4-H to be the recipient of this money," said Giaccaglia. "It' an extra bit of money coming in that wasn't expected."
Giaccaglia said the support would help fund programs in areas such as livestock, horses, shooting sports and robotics.
She added that the Bolivar County Board of Supervisors was also proud to see a county-funded organization get selected.
Miller Greenlee, field claims specialist with Monsanto, was on hand Monday to present the check.
"We're excited to be able to help the community and farmers in one of the most important industries in this county and the Mississippi Delta," said Greenlee.
"We're happy to help organizations in the community to expand growth in an area that needs it."
This year, the Monsanto Fund will invest over $5 million in rural America through Grow Communities, which includes double donations for counties suffering from the historic drought.
The program launched in 2010 and is currently in its third year.
"We encourage farmers in our community to take advantage of this program that Monsanto offers and help other local nonprofit organizations," said Giaccaglia.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
We've reviewed several MEElectronics headphones and generally have been impressed with their value proposition. They tend to deliver good bang for the buck and the company's A151 balanced-armature in-ear headphone is one of the better sounding earphones in its price range of around $50 online.
The first thing you'll notice about it is that it has 47-inch-long braided cable that looks like the wires used on expensive custom in-ear models from Ultimate Ears and JH Audio. No, you don't get the build quality of higher-end models, but it's decent enough for a $50 headphone and I found them comfortable to wear and it was easy to get a tight seal.
The A151 comes with five sets of eartips (small/medium/large silicon; double flange; large triple flange) and a clamshell carrying case, which is nice, but I could have done without the big MEElectronics logo (it screams "Made in China"). One other small gripe: while the cord is very flexible it does have a tendency to get twisted up easily.
I was impressed with the A151s' sound -- they offer very detailed, transparent sound and can dig pretty deep on the low end, though I felt the bass could have been a little punchier. I also didn't think they were quite as open or dynamic as more expensive earphones from Shure and Audeo, but those models cost more than twice the price (and in some cases, three times as much or more).

For sure this winter could have run a bit smoother for us and there have been a few problems here and there, but this is pretty normal and whenever we've been out on track the car has felt good. The issues we've had have been pretty minor and we've found solutions to all of them, but unfortunately they took a bit of time to fix so in the end it's cost us track time which is a shame. If you look back at last year the car was very reliable, so hopefully it will be the same again this season; I'm not worried about it.
They have been graining pretty badly, but that was expected because of the cold and it's the same for everyone. It's difficult to say how they'll behave until we get to the first race, but hopefully it will be quite different in the warmer conditions. If it's the same as what we've seen here then t
hey could be the main difference between the teams for sure… getting the most out of them will be important for everyone.
It's hard to say as you never know what kind of programme the others are running. We've run through a lot of assessments over the past few weeks and the feeling in the team is that we have a strong basis to start the season, even if we haven't shown that every day. I'm happy with the car and looking forward to going racing. Whether we'll be up there from the start we won't know until we get there, but we don't have to wait very long to find out…

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Looks like the only difference between PCB and BCB is the spelling. Sore losers.
Seems Bangladseh should be accused of foul play too...
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

On Tuesday, Dec. 4, around 7 p.m. the Mendocino County Sheriff's Office received a report of a missing hiker, 58 year old John Kraus, in the area of 23711 Fish Rock Road, in Boonville. The reporting party, Kraus' brother, advised that on Monday, Dec. 3, around 11 a.m., his brother and a longtime family friend left a remote cabin to go hiking during the early afternoon. At one point in the hike the two friends parted, planning to later meet at a predesignated location. The friend arrived at the rally point but Kraus never arrived. The friend looked for Kraus but was unable to locate him. The following day the friend again looked for Kraus but was unable to find him. The friend contacted Kraus' brother, who then reported him missing to the Anderson Valley Fire Department.
Mendocino County Sheriff's Office Search and Rescue coordinated efforts with the Anderson Valley Fire Department, meeting with searchers at a nearby ranch on the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 5. An extensive search effort was conducted, including ground searchers from Comptche Fire Department, Anderson Valley Fire Department, Mendocino County Search and Rescue, and local ranching families.
Around 3:30 p.m. Kraus was located, alive and well, approximately 2 miles west of where he was last seen. Kraus walked out to a road and flagged down help from a local property owner who then transported him to the incident command post that had been set up to conduct the search.
The Mendocino County Sheriff's Office would like to thank the Anderson Valley Fire Department, the Comptche Fire Department, the Pronsolino Family, and Larry Mailliard for their assistance with the Search efforts.
