It's Monday ~ A brand new week is ahead of us. Let's start it off with three Frugal Finds for our Kindles!
Under Nine: Executive Privilege, Phillip Margolin {$7.99}
When private detective Dana Cutler is hired to follow college student Charlotte Walsh, she never imagines the trail will lead to the White House. But the morning after Walsh's clandestine meeting with Christopher Farrington, President of the United States, the pretty young coed is dead—the latest victim, apparently, of a fiend dubbed "the D.C. Ripper."
A junior associate in an Oregon law firm, Brad Miller is stunned by the death row revelations of convicted serial killer Clarence Little. Though Little accepts responsibility for a string of gruesome murders, he swears he was framed for one of them: the death of a teenaged babysitter who worked for then-governor Farrington.
Suddenly nowhere in America is safe for a small-time private eye and a fledgling lawyer who possess terrifying evidence that suggests the unthinkable: that someone at the very highest level of government, perhaps the president himself, is a cold and brutal killer.
The average customer review is currently 4.3 stars {83 reviews}.
Under Five: Mystic River, Dennis Lehane {$2.99}
"There are threads in our lives. You pull one, and everything else gets affected."
When they were children, Sean Devine, Jimmy Marcus, and Dave Boyle were friends. But then a strange car pulled tip to their street. One boy got into the car, two did not, and something terrible happened — something that ended their friendship and changed all three boys forever.
Twenty-five years later, Sean Devine is a homicide detective. Jimmy Marcus is an ex-con who owns a corner store. And Dave Boyle is trying to hold his marriage together and keep his demons at bay — demons that urge him to do terrible things.
When Jimmy Marcus's daughter is found murdered, Sean Devine is assigned to the case. His personal life unraveling, he must go back into a world he thought he'd left behind to confront not only the violence, of the present but the nightmares of his past. His investigation brings him into conflict with Jimmy Marcus, who finds that his old criminal impulses tempt him to solve the crime with brutal justice. And then there is Dave Boyle, who came home the night Jimmy's daughter died covered with someone else's blood.
While Sean Devine attempts to use the law to return peace and order to the neighborhood, Jimmy Marcus finds his need for vengeance pushing him ever closer to a moral abyss from which lie wont be able to return, and Dave's wife, Celeste, sleeps at night with a man she fears may very well be a monster. a monster who fathered her child and hides his true nature from everyone, possibly even himself.
A tense and unnerving psychological thriller, Mystic River is also an epic novel of love and loyalty, faith and family, in which people irrevocably marked by the past find themselves on a collision course with the darkest truths of their own hidden selves.
The average customer review is currently {4.2 stars, 96 reviews}.
Under One: Tall, Dark, and Deadly 3 book box set, Lisa Renee Jones {$0.99}
This set includes 3 full sized novels
About the series…

Low Testosterone Found in Male Mountain Bikers
Recent research has investigated a variety testicular disorders associated with mountain biking, which can include scrotal injuries, low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, and unusually high scrotal temperatures. New research in Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research, examined gonadal function and testosterone levels in male mountain bikers.
Researchers studied 22 professional mountain bikers and 30 healthy noncyclist. Measures were taken for each group assessing the levels of testosterone, sex-hormone binding globulin, luteinizing hormone, and follicle-stimulating hormone. After assessing all measurements researchers concluded that male mountain bikers had a significantly lower testosterone concentration when compared to the noncycling control group.
An older study from The Lancet assessed extreme mountain bikers and testicular disorders and found a high rate of trauma to the scrotal area. Researchers asserted that this may have been as a result of mountain biking on very rough terrain. Of the 45 cyclists examined in the study an overwhelming 96% were diagnosed with pathological abnormalities of the scrotum, scrotal tenderness, and testicular discomfort.
The issues of testicular disorders and lower testosterone levels in cyclists appears to be complex and multifaceted topic that and requires further research with a larger demographics. Research should also examine an athlete's performance in relation to the lower measures of testosterone.

Air Jordan IV Retro White/Varsity Red-Black Review at Exit 36
Here's a quick video look at the Air Jordan IV Retro in White/Varsity Red-Black dropping this Saturday, August 4. As always, thanks to the folks at Exit 36!
Here's a quick video look at the Air Jordan IV Retro in White/Varsity Red-Black dropping this Saturday, August 4. As always, thanks to the folks at Exit 36!
Thanks to the staff at Exit 36, we have two upcoming releases to show you. First is one of two Nike Basketball sneakers releasing tomorrow, the yellow, black, and red "Taxi" LeBron 9 P.S. Elite. After that is a Jordan Retro that's set to hit store shelves next Saturday, May 19, the "Cool Grey" Air Jordan XII Retro. Check out up-close and personal looks at both shoes in the video.
After a quite long hiatus of videos, we are back! In this video, I give you all a look at one of this year's sure-to-be hot ticket sneakers, the "White Cement" Air Jordan IV Retro, courtesy of the folks at Exit 36.
Jordan Brand is kicking the year off in a big way with the release of perhaps the Air Jordan X's most beloved original colorway. Here is a review of the "Chicago" Air Jordan X Retro before it is released on this Saturday, January 21.
With the two classic Air Jordan Retros coming out just in time for the holidays, 'tis definitely the season to be jolly. Tomorrow, the "Last Shot" Air Jordan XIV that Michael Jordan wore as he made the game-winning shot of the 1998 NBA Finals will be released to the masses once again. In exactly a week from today, one of the year's biggest releases will be happening, as the "Concord" Air Jordan XI makes its first true-to-original appearance on store shelves since 2001. Check the video for an in-depth look at both shoes thanks to Dylan and the good folks at Exit 36.
November has already been swamped with plenty of notable sneaker releases. "Doernbecher" IVs. "Knicks" Spizikes. "Grand Opening" 574s. "My Adidas" Superstar 80s. "Leatherback" Gel Lyte IIIs. But when it comes to legacy, none of the aforementioned releases tops the last notable of the month: the "Black Cement" Air Jordan III Retro. Thanks to our good friends at Exit 36, I have a video of the shoe to show you all a week before the drop. Check it out!
A classic shoe is releasing this weekend, and thanks to Exit 36 and us, you can get an in-depth look at the shoe now. Be sure to pick up your "Metallic" Air Jordan V Retro from Exit 36 on Saturday before they go out of stock!
As Dylan told you some time ago, Sneakerology (the branch which Exit 36 is a part of) has opened a new store in East Hampton. Dylan and I were finally able to check out the store this weekend. In the video above, we give you a look inside the new location. In addition, Dylan reviews one of their upcoming releases, the "Independence Day" Air Jordan V Retro. If you haven't had the chance to check out Sneakerology East Hampton yet, you definitely should! There are some pretty cool things still in stock at the store that you might not expect to be there!
The season of the V is beginning. While the "Bin 23″ V released back in January and more recently the "Tokyo23″ V released in Japan, the "Wolf Grey" V, the first of three general release V's to come out in 2011, is releasing tomorrow, May 14th. While the shoe's colors are somewhat simple, this V is undeniably nice. The grey nubuck on the upper blends well with the white and grey accents and the blue-ish icy sole of the shoe. You can pick up the "Wolf Grey" V tomorrow from a Jordan Brand retailer, such as Exit 36.
P.S.: Speaking of Exit 36, Sneakerology, the store that Exit 36 is a sub-store of, has recently opened up a new store out in East Hampton! Check them out at the following address:
2 Main Street, Lower Level, East Hampton, NY 11937
Open Mon-Sat 10am-6pm; Sun 10am-5pm

I need some help in choosing a companion plant for a small raised garden bed. It's south facing but under an eave, so it only receives morning sun and tends to get rather dry since the rains don't reach it and I'm a bit neglectful in the summer with watering. I've just planted a Hebe "Great Orne" in the center (it's just a small 2-gallon size now but I know it will get much larger) and there is a small butterfly bush to one side. I need to find something to place on the other side of the hebe that will like the water and light conditions and won't get too large, i.e. 3' or so. Any ideas? Thanks! |

My favorite plants for dry shade are Sarcoccoccas. They're evergreen, bloom in February (the flowers are insignificant but very fragrant). You could underplant with hardy Cyclamen (a combination of C. hederifolium, C. cilicium, and C. coum would give you flowers all winter)and the native Sedum spathifolium. |
Osmanthus delavayi is blooming now, smells good, and has nice foliage, though a little open. My Daphne tangutica is blooming great this year, surpassing my D. odora variegata. Daphne xtransylvanica= Caucasia Summer Ice is a lovely mounding shrub that blooms all summer unlike the spring-blooming ones. I also like a couple of Hypericums I bought 3 years ago- H. frondosum and kalmianum- greyish foliage and yellow pincushion flowers. |

The Campaign That's Redefining the "Run Like a Girl" Stereotype
See the commercial every woman should watch.
By Victoria Hoff
"You run like a girl." "You throw like a girl." It's a thought that has become so ingrained in our society that the phrase "like a girl" is practically a maxim. But, why is it used as an insult? In this day and age, how is it possible that we have not moved past the "boys are strong, girls are weak" stereotype?
In an awesome new ad campaign from Always, the maxi-pad company is addressing these very questions. And yet, the winning aspect of the video below is that the brand doesn't attempt to do away with the thought of doing things "like a girl," but embraces it slapping a hashtag on it in the process as something young girls should be proud of. As one young woman notes, "I wake up in the morning 'like a girl' because I AM a girl. And that's not something I should be ashamed of." You said it, sister. Check out this refreshing take below:

The National Retail Show 2014: Key takeaways and Microsoft technologies being used in #retail |
By Nigel Ashton, Retail Industry Lead, Microsoft Advertising UK
No doubt you are all too familiar with how technology is impacting on consumer behaviour and how it is changing expectations about what a shopping experience should be. Retail brands have had to fundamentally rethink their relationship with customers and the technology they are using at home, at work and on the go.
In our UK Families and Technology study we found a typical UK family now has an average of 10 connected devices within the household and we're seeing a cultural shift towards family members being 'always on' and communicating with each other across different screens, in particular mobile and tablet devices. As a consequence people now have more information, more options and more expectations when they shop and interact with retailers. Savvy retail brands are starting to recognise this and I am seeing an increasing focus on technology as a pivot to engage with consumers across multiple channels.
What's also clear is one of the constants in retail is change, and technology is undoubtedly driving this across the retail sector. In my 2014 predictions published last month I referenced the importance of brand experience. Consumers are increasingly looking for brands to lead with more rewarding shopping experiences and they are prepared to make an exchange, for example share more information about themselves, in return.
This was a big theme at this year's National Retail Fair (NRF) which took place last month in New York. For those of you unfamiliar with the event, NRF is an annual gathering of more than 27,000 business leaders, ITDMs and executives from major retailers around the world.
At Microsoft we are already imagining how we can join the dots to connect the online and in-store shopping experience together which could be seen by all at the show. Our large multi-section area offered solutions and information as to how Microsoft technology can help retailers transform their business in three key ways: create unified experiences across connected devices, enable smarter operations and engage employees.
I saw plenty of consumer-focused technology during the show but three examples of innovation on the Microsoft booth really stood out for me.
Connected Fitting Room
Microsoft, Accenture and Avanade collaborated to showcase the Connected Fitting Room for the first time at NRF. When a customer enters the fitting room carrying RFID-tagged garments, the screen automatically recognises the items and displays them graphically on a Windows Embedded 8 powered touchscreen. The customer can request a different size, style, colour or alternative item from the screen which is picked up by a smartphone carried by a member of staff. They can then respond to the customer in real time. A combination of Accenture analytical tools and Microsoft Dynamics business intelligence allows the retailer to use the data to learn more about customer behaviour and adapt accordingly. The Fitting Room is currently being trialled with the US retailer Kohl's.
Facecake Swivel
Retailers are increasingly using Microsoft's Kinect for Windows sensor to personalise the shopping experience and inspire customers to interact with their products in a meaningful and fun way. FaceCake introduced Swivel, an application that allows shoppers to try on clothes and accessories via a virtual dressing room. After capturing their image via the Kinect for Windows sensor, the shopper can select items from a photo display of clothing and accessories, while the application displays the shopper 'wearing' the selected items. The customer can also split the screen to compare different outfit options.
Retail in a Box
Retail in a Box is a transportable, pop-up shop that can set up anywhere in the world on a matter of days. The team imagined a surf shop scenario where customers could customise their own surfboard using a Microsoft Surface. A Kinect-enabled digital signage application then captured images of the customised board against the background of one of the world's top beaches. The image could be printed as a postcard and also e-mailed to the customer to create an immersive experience that is personal, mobile and social.
Razorfish also showcased a scenario where customers were invited to participate in a Kinect-powered beach soccer game. A customer assumed the role of striker and used the Kinect for Windows sensor to score goals against another customer who was playing as goalkeeper. Successful customers accumulated points which they could redeem for a refreshing drink from a connected vending machine.
If you would like to hear more about NRF and Microsoft's unique approach to retail please get in touch. We would love to come and talk to you about our ideas and experiences.

Do you ever eat with chopsticks and think to yourself "man, I wish these could easily convert into a spoon." Well, have I got a product for you my friend. The Chopsticks Plus One are the 21st century equivalent to the spork (god bless the spork).
Using the chopsticks as the handle to the spoon attachment, the Chopsticks Plus One are easy to assemble, and then take apart when it is time to use them.

Keep things simple. If you've been showering him with expensive gifts or extravagant gestures, stop. Choose easy, inexpensive ways to express how you feel about him, so he doesn't feel obligated or guilty about your efforts.
22. "I don't want a jealous girl." Robby, 16
If you think having a hissy fit every time you think he's looking at another girl (in school, at the mall, on a movie screen) is a way to show him how much you love him, get over it! All jealousy shows is that you're insecure about his love and yourself a major turn-off.
23. "I want a girl who's an individual, unique." Ted, 17
Cultivate the "you" in you; don't try to be like your friends or copy the models from magazines. Develop your own style, and your own attitudes. Being interested in your guy isn't enough you have to be interesting too.
24. "My family's a little strange but I want my girlfriend to like them!" Frank, I5
Get to know his parents and siblings. These are the people who have enormous (if not the most) influence on his life. Learn about their likes and needs, and be respectful of them. They'll be glad you're involved in their son's life!
25. "I love it when my girlfriend says she loves me!" Jackson, 18
If you really, truly feel it (are you sure?), say it. Don't worry if he hasn't said it first maybe he's waiting for you. You want to know if he loves you back, right? This is one of the best ways to find out.

By Popular Demand: New Professional Development Courses Aim to Meet Industry Needs
Based on industry demand, MassBioEd has added three new professional development courses to its roster: Managing Clinical Trials, Drug Development for the Non-Scientist, and Investigations & CAPA.
The courses are open to anyone seeking to learn more about facets of the biotechnology industry, and employees of MassBio members companies receive discounts on registration. Some course attendees may also be eligible for grants from the state Workforce Training Fund.
MassBioEd is committed to the development of the current biotechnology workforce and aims to provide individuals with ways to better their education in the industry.
"MassBioEd courses offer such great diversity of both teachers and students that anyone in the industry can benefit," said Laurie Halloran, President of Halloran Consulting Group and MassBioEd teacher.
Managing Clinical Trials
Managing Clinical Trials is a six-week evening program which aims to introduce the major skills needed to manage outsourced clinical studies within a CRO/sponsor environment. This course takes the place of the previously offered Overview of Clinical Research, but is a higher level course with a focus on management.
In an ever-growing industry, it becomes increasingly important to conduct factual, error-free trials with consistent results, making this course necessary for research and management professionals.
The course is aimed at those individuals with 3-5 years of experience in clinical trials or interest in becoming a manager. A combination of workshops and case studies will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of trial management at the end of the six sessions.
Drug Development for the Non-Scientist
This is a full day course of biotechnology information for non-science professionals working or looking to work within a science-based industry. Participants will receive an overview of the development and regulatory process for bringing a drug, either a small or large molecule to market.
This course takes an in-depth look at the steps required to take a product from the research lab to marketing approval, focusing on clinical, regulatory, and commercial aspects of development. Drug Development for the Non-Scientist can be beneficial for professionals in all sectors of biotech, pharma, and life sciences as well as policy makers, venture capitalists, consultants, PR specialists, university administrators, and many others.
This course is offered through BioTech Primer, which provides industry-experience professionals as educators and offers a fast-paced, engaging environment for professional development.
Investigations & CAPA
Investigations & CAPA is a one-day course designed to give the participant the background and knowledge needed to write a clear and concise audit-ready report.
Due to the nature of trials, errors can cost companies millions in lost batches, rework, and investigations. This course will show students how to clearly define the problem, investigate and conduct root cause analysis using simple tools, assess product quality/patient safety impact, design effective corrective and preventive actions, and package the report in a clear, concise, audit-ready manner.
"Investigations & CAPA is a fundamental quality system, perhaps the key safeguard for preventing errors," says teacher Matt Peplowski. "Conducting and documenting root cause investigations is a must-have skill for all operations personnel."

Hi All-
I'm new here. I've really enjoyed the site! I purchased a 'Charles Grimaldi' a few years ago at a gardening convention and have really enjoyed it. So much so that I would like to try some of these in ground in my mild 8b climate. I have been reading these boards and other sites and came up with a list of varieties that have reportedly good cold tolerance. They are: Betty Marshall
others that have hardy blood:
If anybody has any of these and can spare a few cuttings for my project, I would happily send you postage or a pre-paid return envelope. I do have a few items to trade: http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pAYkTzMX2aisAS4S9N2C1bQ If I am missing any from my list that you have observed being particularly hardy, please let me know! A hardiness discussion would be great. Thank You- Mark

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Beau!
Facts about Beau
- Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Beau's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Beau is a 9 week old Catahoula/Aussie/Border Collie mix. He is very outgoing and playful. He has the best genes of three of the best herding dog breeds. He is even tempered, loyal, and obedient.
Other Pets at New Hope Cattle & Herding Dogs of AR
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Beau, a Conway Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie for sale in Conway, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Conway.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Conway already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Conway breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie breeders who help with Catahoula Leopard Dog/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Conway paves the way for another one to be saved.

Scottrade offers self-direct investors the tools they need to succeed, and for investors seeking guidance, Scottrades massive branch office network with reliable and personable relationships is an easy win.
More than 500 local branch offices; FRIP (Flexible Reinvestment Program), a great spin on DRIP; easy-to-use mobile apps.
ScottradeELITE requires $25,000 minimum; weak in-house options capabilities - instead offers OptionsFirst platform powered by OptionsHouse for advanced options trading.
To cut to the chase: Scottrade lives up to its commercials.Scottrade defines what a broker-client relationship should be, with everything from opening an account to placing a trade or receiving professional guidance; it is a straightforward and enjoyable experience.
When I opened a new account to conduct my Scottrade review, I knew Scottrade had tough competition and was curious to see how well the broker would perform. The application was a breeze as I filled in information and took advantage of the live chat assistance. Within several hours of completion, a Scottrade rep from my local branch office called me, welcoming me to the broker, letting me know where they were located, and seeing if I had any questions.
Immediately, I felt like I was in good hands and couldn't help but think that Scottrade was going to be my new best friend.
Customer Service
Scottrade, which won our title for Best Overall Client Experience in our2012, 2013, and 2014 Review of Online Brokers, offers the most personalized customer service out of any of the full-service brokers I've tested. And considering the competition, this is no small feat. I found that Scottrade is the only online broker that completely leans on their local branch office network. Calling the support phone number on the Scottrade website during market hours prompts you for your zip code, then redirects you automatically to your local branch office.
Within a few rings, I was speaking with a rep from my local branch office. Not only did they know the Scottrade website like the back of their hands, but they had no trouble answering my questions regarding my new account and website. Scottrade's network has more than 500 local branch offices within the United States, and all operate during standard market hours:8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The only downside I found with Scottrade's phone support is that it is not 24/7, unlike TD Ameritrade, ETRADE, Fidelity, and Charles Schwab, who all offer phone support any day, any time.
Commissions & Fees
Scottrade, when compared to other full service brokerages, is less expensive on the whole. Regular stock trades cost $7 compared to its closest pricing competitor, Fidelity, which charges $7.95 per trade. Charles Schwab is next closest with its $8.95 trades. All trades operate under a flat-fee structure, meaning there are no gimmicks or trickery. Pricing is straightforward and simple unless trading stocks less than $1 per share, in which the cost is $7, plus .5% of the trade value.
Options trades will set you back $7, plus $1.25, which is more pricey than its competitors if trading more than a handful of contracts at a time. TD Ameritrade, ETRADE, Fidelity, and Schwab all have higher base commission charges but only charge $.75 per contract instead of Scottrade's $1.25.
Lastly, Scottrade offers a massive selection of mutual funds to choose from, more than 14,500 funds in total, so you will not have any trouble finding something that suits your portfolio mix. Mutual fund trades cost only $17 each, the lowestamongits competitors. For those who prefer ETFs over mutual funds, Scottrade maydisappointas it does not have a selection of commission-free ETFs. If commission-free ETFs are your thing, then consider TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab,as the broker offers more than 100 of them.
Scottrade's research offering is fairly thorough, covering the major bases well, including fundamental data on insiders, earnings, financials, and even SEC filings from several third-party research providers. Compared to its competitors, third-party research is one area where Scottrade falls behind. Pulling up a quote on Apple (AAPL) offered me reports from three different third-party providers: Standard & Poor's, Thomson Reuters, and Second Opinion. While this will more than satisfy the majority of investors, picky clients may still be left craving more.
Navigation through the research area, like the rest of the Scottrade website, was clean and straight-forward. Not only does Scottrade have a quick quote box on the top header, but they also have one on the left sidebar and footer bar. You can even place trades from any page, or website for that matter, by popping out the trade ticket bar in the footer - another nice touch. Focusing back on the research section, whether pulling up a quote or looking at a stock chart then reading an analyst report, I had no problems finding my way around.
One feature I really enjoyed, which is exclusive to Scottrade clients, was the Scottrade SmartText functionality. SmartText analysis is available for charts, sectors and industries, and earnings. With charts, for example, Scottrade SmartText will quickly analyze any indicator you add and give you an easy-to-understand explanation of what that indicator implies for the stock you are researching. For example, SmartText gave me this breakdown for Google's 13 day moving average, "On Tuesday, GOOG closed below its 13-day moving average. This is generally considered to be an indication of a bearish trend."
Scottrade's research is also thorough for mutual funds. With research provided by Morningstar, my personal provider choice for mutual funds research, Scottrade does notdisappoint. Immediately after pulling up a quote for Pimco's Total Return Fund PTTDX, a chart appeared displaying the fund's performance in the last decade compared to intermediate-term bonds and the S&P 500. I then read a synopsis of the fund's strategy, took a look at the Morningstar category ratings, and analyzed the fund's expenses to help me make a decision on whether to buy or not.
Platforms & Tools
Scottrade offers several different platforms: Scottrader Streaming Quotes, Scottrade ELITE, and Scottrade Options First (white-labeled version ofOptionsHouse2.0 platform). Scottrade ELITE requires clients to have atleast $25,000 in their account before gaining access.
Scottrader Streaming Quotes is a Java-based application that neitherruns in a browser nor operates as a full desktop download.Instead, it loads as a Java app through the web. With easy buttons to open new windows and three customizable layouts, I found the application functionality to be easy to setup and use. Each watch list is drag-and-drop friendly and can have up to 40 securities.
The one major gripe with the Scottrader Streaming Quotes application is that there is no snap window functionality, so aligning any open windows (the trade ticket, charts, top gainers, time and sales box, etc.) to fit into a grid is a bit tedious. My only other criticism would be that the quote screen window does not display the market index returns in large numbers at the top. Instead they are small items at the bottom and do not include a percent return for the day. Pickiness aside, Scottrade Streaming Quotes gets the job done.
Scottrade's advanced platform, Scottrade ELITE, is a desktop- based platform designed for active traders seeking detailed functionality beyond what Scottrader Streaming Quotes has to offer. Like Streaming Quotes, the first thing I noticed was the lack of snap window functionality and the unfavorable positioning of the latest market indices performance. While the platform does offer customizable layouts and several nice tools like Trade-Ideas real-time scanning and Velocity & Forces, overall, I was unimpressed.
Scottrade ELITE is the weakest active trader platform among its competitors. With that said, Scottrade currently has the next generation of its flagship platform in beta testing, which should be released sometime in 2014.
Other Notes
In the summer of 2013, Scottrade released its second generation iPhone and Android app alongside its first generation iPad app. With a much cleaner interface and cloud syncing watchlists, the apps are easy-to-use and, overall, very well built. These new apps propelled Scottrades Mobile Trading category score from 3 stars in our 2013 Review to 4 stars in our 2014 Review.
Also in 2013, Scottrade introduced an industry first FRIP (Flexible Reinvestment Program). A FRIP is similar to a DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Program), except that investors can customize how the dividend is used. Reinvestable dividends can be used to purchase shares in up to five different eligible securities (exceptions include OTCBB stocks). The FRIP is an industry first, and the clients I spoke with love it.
Final Thoughts
Scottrade, with its network of more than 500 branch offices and award-winning customer service, offers clients a large selection of investments and quality research to make educated investment decisions. While the broker is limited in its offering of advanced platforms and tools, Scottrade is a strong consideration for every other investor type, whether you're planning for retirement, just got your first job, or simply are a casual investor.

So it seemed like it would be bit of a weak episode, right? And then... BAM! Ménage happens. I was kind of shocked how much I enjoyed the addition of the gang's Creepy McCreeperson landlord Remy (played by Jeff Kober, a.k.a. the guy who took all the psycho killer roles of the '80s and early '90s that didn't go to Brian Thompson). Tonight's episode was one made up of tiny moments and off-hand phrases, which is at its core is what the show is all about. I strongly considered calling the recap "The Husky Kid in the Mailroom," though "The Pool of Possibility" and "A Sexually Charged Zero-Gravity Tea Ceremony" were also strong contenders. In the end, one scene in particular has forever changed the way I will listen to the song "Send Me on My Way," and this sublime scene of seduction could not go overlooked.
It all began when Jess gave Nick guff for assuming the worst in everyone. Mind you, this is after he decided a gun-flashing, SAMCRO-looking dude might be a credible threat -- imagine that! The interaction went as follows: Dude pulls gun, then terrified ducking, followed by Jess freaking out that "This is just like The Wire" and quickly slapping an unnatural smile on her face and being Jess-level nice and adorable. Nick thought this they were seconds away from being shot when (to Jess: "He has a gun, and you're dressed like a bullseye!") and yet! The guy backed down.
Validated, Jess decided to prove her point by calling the cantankerous landlord to fix their janky apartment -- the evidence of which we've already seen in Nick's DIY bathroom repair and now with his violent thrusting of a broom stick into the jammed garbage disposal. The landlord was crotchety sort named Remy, who was recovering for a traumatic break-up by storing gasoline in buckets, carving broom shivs, fermenting liquor, making cheese, and drawing crude murder sketches in the basement. (Jury's still out on whether he liked the desserts Jess brought him.)
During her meet-cute with Remy, Jess unintentionally spilled the beans that four people were living in the apartment when there were only supposed to be three. Remy came a-knockin', and in the precious seconds before the guys would reasonably have to open the door, they frantically threw all of Schmidt's belongings off the balcony in order to facilitate the ruse that his room -- the big one, which I guess Winston guiltily gave back to him -- was actually a library. (Awesome Schmidt line: "There go the Chinos!") Also, Schmidt also grabbed his wheely suitcase and made a big pretense that he was a visiting friend supposedly from Panama but who totally sounded like Serge from Beverly Hills Cop. Long story short, the jig was up, and Schmidt's seductive black light wall décor (the aforementioned sexually charged zero-gravity tea ceremony) would soon be just a fond memory.
Somewhere amid all this, though, Jess managed to sweet talk an ostensible adversary onto her side, not only avoiding eviction but actually getting Remy to fix a few things. Nick immediately spotted that Remy was trying to move in on Jess -- specifically when Remy showed Jess how to slide her bedroom door... from behind and emerged from her bedroom in a tank top -- so he offered to act as a buffer for Jess's thank-you dinner with Remy. To Jess, a home-cooked meal would be proper repayment for her landlord's "kindness" -- a.k.a. what every other tenant in civilization would call "doing your job." Indeed, Remy was hoping to get a certain "job" done when he showed up in a fancy Cosby-patterned silk shirt and got Jess and Nick silly on basement liquor, then took a bathroom break only to emerge sans pants.

Blizzard's tips for dealing with a locked account
An easy fix? Change your password from your new computer or new location. This requires you to authenticate with Blizzard -- and answer your secret question -- so the servers are sure that you're actually you. Another helpful tidbit: have an authenticator (or authenticator app) attached to your account and SMS protect enabled. These helpful security features not only make it harder for your account to get stolen -- they can make it clear to Blizzard that your account is in your hands, even if you're logging on from a new computer.
For more details and tips, check out Araxom's thread on Reddit. And if your account actually has been hacked, it's going to take a few more steps, but we'll walk you through it.

Recruiting Cultists
Part 3 of a Three-part series on League Play at your Local Game Store |
News | Published 01 July 2009 |
Got a bunch of players looking for a new game to go absolutely insane for? Bell, Book & Comic, of Dayton, Ohio, has been running a Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game league that has been working out very well for them. The success of any league is based on a variety of factors, but the key ingredient is the players. No players, no game! For the final part of our three-part series of guest articles on league play, we present the perspective of a player, Matt Kohls. For a retailer's perspective on leagues, we heard from Peter Bell. For a Servitor's perspective, we heard from Jeff Secrest.
Hopefully this series gives you, as a retailer or player, some ideas on what you can do to run a league at your store. For more background on how to get an LCG league started at your store, please check out this article: "Re-Organizing Play".
We now present our final article from Bell, Book & Comic's resident Cthulhu Champion and former Universal Fighting System Worlds Champion, Matt Kohls. Take it away, Matt!
Hi, my name is Matt Kohls, and I've been an avid CCG player for the past 10 years or so. I have played dozens of different CCGs, most recently FFG's Call of Cthulhu Living Card Game (LCG). Over the past few months, we have experienced a great deal of success with this game at my local store, so I just wanted to talk a bit about this new LCG format and the league structure.
Playing multiple CCGs is an arduous task to say the least. Chasing down play sets of rares, keeping up with the shifts in competitive environments, and simply having the time to play and master more than one game is difficult. Though I have played many different CCGs in the past, I could only ever really play one at a time. Every time I wanted to pick up a new game, I would have to quit the old one. However, the LCG format has changed all of that.
I had first heard of the LCG format at GenCon 2008. An FFG representative discussed the nature of this new format with me. To be honest, I was not a big fan of the idea at first. It was such a departure from the traditional CCG model that it just seemed wrong. No pulling ultra rare cards, no buying from the secondary market, no promos or exclusives - it definitely was different and at first did not appeal to the competitive gamer within me. I could see where a casual player might enjoy this, but I still was not sold on it. Yet, it was these same LCG selling points that eventually brought me back to Cthulhu.
I had first played the Call of Cthulhu CCG in 2004 when it released. I played it for a year or so until I decided to move onto another game. I enjoyed the flavor of the game, as well as the game play, but as I said above, it was just too hard to play two CCGs at once. However, when Cthulhu re-launched last January with the new LCG core set, I started reading up on the new structure and was intrigued by the new serial format that follows a single storyline in six monthly increments. This, combined with the fact that I would not have to shell out a ton of cash buying booster boxes and singles, drove me to revisit the game. I picked up my core set and monthly Asylum packs, and a few weeks later we had a league up and running.
The league was an instant success. We had a ton of new players that were coming from miniatures or board game backgrounds that decided to play Cthulhu based on the merits of the LCG format. We also had some CCG players who were able to pick up Cthulhu as a complementary or secondary game to their main CCG. The league format allowed us to have an even playing field that balanced the needs of both casual and competitive players. We were even able to create some really unique and awesome prizes like the domain trophy and league champion t-shirt. We have just wrapped up our second league, which has also been successful, and plan on starting our third league very soon. So, if you are currently playing Cthulhu and have not tried out the league format, I would highly recommend it as a fun, casual gaming experience. If you are worried about getting beat down by Spike and his $500 deck, don't sweat it, in the LCG format each player has access to the same cards and the same strategies. If you are an old school CCG player who is not convinced of the LCG format, I encourage you to give it a try; you may be pleasantly surprised, just as I was.
Thanks Matt for spreading the word about the LCG format! If you're a player trying to break in to a Living Card Game, just remember: whether you're a champion player like Matt Kohls, or a newbie just getting started, everybody in the LCG format is working with the same card pool with the same chances of building a great deck. More importantly: all of our games exist so that people can get together and have a good time. A league at your local store is a great place to meet other players and practice your skills in a friendly yet competitive environment. If your store is running a league, check it out! If you're a retailer and you want to get a league started, contact us at [email protected] today.
Players: Are you participating in a league at your store? Share your stories, photos, and tips with us by emailing [email protected]. We'd love to hear all about it!
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. To learn more about Call of Cthulhu, visit our minisite.

Well, that didn't take long. After revealing that its Nagare design theme's time was up, Mazda took no time in readying its next venture. Today, we learned about Mazda's new design theme, Kodo, which was previewed to journalists on the Shinari concept sedan.
Kodo, which is Japanese for "soul of motion," is a relaxing, eye-soothing change of pace from Nagare's "thrusting motion." The concept car pictured here apes the design of long-hooded luxury sedans, such as the Aston Martin Rapide and the stillborn Fisker Karma.
But is this theme right for Mazda, which currently produces the stylish-yet-inoffensive Mazda6 sedan? Or, at a time when Mazda's other big news surrounds powertrain development, will this be a one-two wallop at its competition?
Today's Snap Judgment: Do you like Mazda's new design theme?
Let us know what you think of Kodo's lines in the comments section below.

American Standard Version (ASV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Moreover, take thou up a lamentation for the princes of Israel, | 1 "Take up a lament concerning the princes of Israel |
2 and say, What was thy mother? A lioness: she couched among lions, in the midst of the young lions she nourished her whelps. | 2 and say: " 'What a lioness was your mother among the lions! She lay down among the young lions and reared her cubs. |
3 And she brought up one of her whelps: he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. | 3 She brought up one of her cubs, and he became a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
4 The nations also heard of him; he was taken in their pit; and they brought him with hooks unto the land of Egypt. | 4 The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit. They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt. |
5 Now when she saw that she had waited, and her hope was lost, then she took another of her whelps, and made him a young lion. | 5 " 'When she saw her hope unfulfilled, her expectation gone, she took another of her cubs and made him a strong lion. |
6 And he went up and down among the lions; he became a young lion, and he learned to catch the prey; he devoured men. | 6 He prowled among the lions, for he was now a strong lion. He learned to tear the prey and he devoured men. |
7 And he knew their palaces, and laid waste their cities; and the land was desolate, and the fulness thereof, because of the noise of his roaring. | 7 He broke down their strongholds and devastated their towns. The land and all who were in it were terrified by his roaring. |
8 Then the nations set against him on every side from the provinces; and they spread their net over him; he was taken in their pit. | 8 Then the nations came against him, those from regions round about. They spread their net for him, and he was trapped in their pit. |
9 And they put him in a cage with hooks, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him into strongholds, that his voice should no more be heard upon the mountains of Israel. | 9 With hooks they pulled him into a cage and brought him to the king of Babylon. They put him in prison, so his roar was heard no longer on the mountains of Israel. |
10 Thy mother was like a vine, in thy blood, planted by the waters: it was fruitful and full of branches by reason of many waters. | 10 " 'Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard planted by the water; it was fruitful and full of branches because of abundant water. |
11 And it had strong rods for the sceptres of them that bare rule, and their stature was exalted among the thick boughs, and they were seen in their height with the multitude of their branches. | 11 Its branches were strong, fit for a ruler's scepter. It towered high above the thick foliage, conspicuous for its height and for its many branches. |
12 But it was plucked up in fury, it was cast down to the ground, and the east wind dried up its fruit: its strong rods were broken off and withered; the fire consumed them. | 12 But it was uprooted in fury and thrown to the ground. The east wind made it shrivel, it was stripped of its fruit; its strong branches withered and fire consumed them. |
13 And now it is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land. | 13 Now it is planted in the desert, in a dry and thirsty land. |
14 And fire is gone out of the rods of its branches, it hath devoured its fruit, so that there is in it no strong rod to be a sceptre to rule. This is a lamentation, and shall be for a lamentation. | 14 Fire spread from one of its main branches and consumed its fruit. No strong branch is left on it fit for a ruler's scepter.' This is a lament and is to be used as a lament." |

I am dividing a lot of perennials for myself and some folks at work. I have run out of containers that I saved. Are there any garden centers in the Lancaster, PA area that would part with some of their black plastic containers for free or say a token price of 10 cents per container?
I went to SKH (Lititz location) this morning and they were willing to part with some for $1.00 each, used containers no less. I said "no thanks". This makes me less enthusiastic about their prices and all the plants I bought over the years. I wanted to get this project wrapped up but it may have to stretch out over this week. I'll use small cardboard boxes if I have to. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Too bad you don't live closer to Chambersburg...I have quite a few saved up. I usually take them to the Amish nurseries after I have a stack. |
If you are still looking, head over to River Road Produce on 441 between Marietta and Bainbridge. Wes will be more than happy to let you take his used pots. I think he is closing November 1st..... |
I got a couple free from the Stauffers in Rohrerstown.. I think it might depend who you ask in the nursery.. some of the clerks looked at me like I was nuts and some looked at me like they didn't know what I was talking about.. I found them up by the checkout near the information desks. |
www.recyclingservices.org This place is a treasure trove of repurposed stuff. they recycle everything and people bring in household items to resale. There is a big section of plastic pots in the corner of the property. It's in Pottstown right off of 422. |
Someone used to give me plants from her garden just in a grocery plastic, double-bagged, watered. Kind of forced me to plant them right away. |

That's right, two for one this time! In this case, two stories from the Alysha Forrest series, #2 (the novella "Second"), and #2 (the short "In the Line of Duty"). Amazon links take you to the story landing page; you'll have to select the audio version from the Format listings.
Audible.com | Amazon | iTunes
"Second" takes us through a leadership training seminar, set on at a mountain retreat:
Ensign Taylitha Basil wasn't sure what to expect when her ship dropped her off at the officer training retreat at Quickwater Preserve. A hike up the mountain? She's not much of a hiker. A trip down it in a canoe? Even worse, she's not a great swimmer. An obnoxious peer who put himself in charge? An and Bast preserve her.
But all of that seems manageable when she meets Alysha Forrest, one of the Diamondwing's ensigns. In years to come they would serve together on the Stardancer as an unbeatable command team. Here, then, is the story of how they met and forged their relationship during a training exercise far more dangerous than anyone planned…
Narrated by the warm and personable Jean Ruda Habrukowich, who brings a lot of zest and energy to the conversations between Taylitha and Alysha.
Audible.com | Amazon
| iTunes
K Orion Fray gives older Commander Forrest a smoky voice in the aural version of "In the Line of Duty":
When the UAV Scattersky answers a distress call, their captain is expecting a routine rescue operation and dispatches his first commander, Alysha Forrest, to manage the transfer of personnel. But naturally, things are never as easy as they seem on the surface….
It's a great pleasure to get some more female narration into my audiobook library! I'm really pleased to be able to offer you these two lovely shorts. "Duty" is short enough for a commute, and "Second" is split into chapters for your convenience. If you're looking for science fiction about friendship, and about honor and duty and all those good things, check these out! And as always, if it pleases you, leave a star rating, a like or a review—oh please do, because reviews sell books!—or check out my other audiobook offerings. :)

Iain M. Banks imagines a hard-hitting, multifaceted multiverse overseen by The Concern.
Review by Carlos Aranaga © 2010
Assassins, torture, sex, drugs and hot pursuit by alternate world agents through Venetian canals and piazzas mark Iain M. Banks' new novel, Transition (pub. by Orbit, Sep 2009, 416 pp hdcvr, $25.99), as an arresting thriller bridging Banks' own parallel world personae as a veteran sci-fi writer and author of literary fiction. A complex, riotous work, told via the eyes of six main characters, Transition is set in our present, and flits through sheaves of parallel worlds, some nearly identical to ours, perched at the end of a 20-year pregnant pause in history, bracketed by the 1989 fall of the Berlin Wall and the 2008 fall of Wall Street, and buttressed mid-span by the fall of the Twin Towers.
The agents are transitionaries, working for The Concern, shadow government of the multiverse, based in an Earth where consensual reality not just embraces the many worlds theory, but ruthlessly exploits it to its own ends. The Concern is led by the paranoid, power-mad Madame D'Ortolan, and opposed by a sultry renegade professor from The Concern's University of Practical Talents, Mrs. Mulverhill. Both vie across parallel worlds for the loyalty of the master Transitionary Temudjin Oh.
As in Banks' mainstream novels, there's a lot of vérité nastiness in Transition. It's definitely R-rated. Start with small-fry drug dealer-turned stock and dicey financial instruments trader Adrian Cubbish. Emblematic of our solipsistic system in which taking care of number one is the ultimate reality—his ask-no-questions/take-the-money-and-run viewpoint makes him an ideal recruit as an operative of the world-hopping conspiracy, to whom we are but one of a run of greedist worlds where a belief in the value of limited corporate liability has inevitable Ponzi scheme results.
The pace starts slow, if relentless, as we meet the largely unsympathetic cast of characters, including the sadistic Concern torturer known as The Philosopher and drugged out Patient 8262, tucked away in a psych ward in a gray socialist world, struggling to remember his lost identity, and to keep from being molested by the ward's male nurse. As in reality, lots of unpleasant things occur just out of sight.
The revolving carousel of perspectives takes off when Oh starts world-jumping to exotic timelines, like a steampunk London, or the world where the top of Everest has been lopped off to build a palace for a world emperor. The Concern's world is also obsessed by terrorists, though in their case it's Christian radicals wreaking havoc and providing a handy focus for projection of society's fears, even as the system is being hijacked by D'Ortolan and her dreams of never-ending dominion.
Known in the U.S. as a sci-fi writer, Banks is one of the UK's leading mainstream fiction writers too. In the last 25 years he's penned 23 novels, his SF work as Iain M. Banks, his non-genre work as Iain Banks. Transition is the first of his novels to be published in the UK as a mainstream title minus the "M," while marketed in the U.S. as SF. Much of Banks' sci-fi is set in a far-future utopia: the Culture novels. Transition brings the dark baroque grit of his literary best-sellers to his sci-fi work.
A profile in UK's The Independent cites a BBC online poll ranking Banks as the fifth best writer ever, after Shakespeare, Austen, Orwell and Dickens. Transition shows off Banks' virtuosity and imagination to excellent effect. Transition is also out as a 13.5 hour audiobook, and in a clever marketing ploy, is being offered in a 6.5 hour abridged version as a free podcast download via iTunes,.
Transition has it all: far-ranging speculation for sci-fi tastes; rapid fire action for thriller fans; and straight-up social commentary and acerbity for literary readers. What's notable is that all these things he does so well. Bravo to the genre-busting Banks, who demonstrates that SF's mind-bending irreality is precisely what suits SF as an implement to discern higher truth from that which is only apparently real.
Transition is available from Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.
Carlos Aranaga is a life-long SF connoisseur, world traveler and man of letters, born in the Andes, and who at various times has occupied temporal coordinates in Atlanta, Bangladesh, Bolivia, India, Lithuania and Maryland, USA.

Breakfast Topic: Do you play other games besides WoW? {WoW}
Mar 7th 2011 10:47PM We quit WoW for Rift and have never been happier. It's the most polished MMO at launch that I have ever seen. The talent system is revolutionary and has never been done before and it's graphics make WoW look like a steaming pile.
The Care and Feeding of Warriors: Warriors react to patch 4.0.6 {WoW}
Feb 13th 2011 6:16AM We celebrated the patch by canceling both of our WoW accounts and picking up two digital CE's of Rift. After playing the beta I doubt we will ever be returning to WoW.
After six years Blizzard has completely failed at keep this game fresh or relevant. Every expansion it's the same formula, new area, new dungeon and raid and rinse and repeat.
Plus with all the constant nerfs to balance the pos known as Arena.... no thanks, not anymore. I'm sure warriors will go on being the whipping boy of WoW classes, failing to succeed over any other class at just about EVERYTHING.
Rift talent system makes wow look like it was designed by 5 year olds.
Lichborne: Death knight tank pre-raid gear guide {WoW}
Jan 25th 2011 2:08PM I disagree that Stamina is king, I have ALWAYS been an evasion tank when tanking and I have never had a healer say I was tough to heal. In fact most healers have told me I was their favorite tank.
And now in the age of healers running out of mana, spamming big heals and tanking mainly on your health pool is just TERRIBLE advice.
Evasion wins, hands down.
The middle of the pack is a fine place to be {WoW}
Jan 14th 2011 9:55PM Being middle of the road isn't acceptable. All dps except druids and paladins who are the TRUE hybrids should have a chance at topping the meters, and even then they should be reasonably close.
For one it promotes healthy competition, it also keeps people from being lazy when it comes to spec and gear. If they think they are only destined to be hidden in the middle where nobody cares anyways, not so much.
As a fury warrior I have been top DPS in every guild I have been in for over 5 years. It's not because my class was wildly over powered but because I put in a damn lot of work. I researched specs, tweaked, tested and spent a lot on gems and my enchanting.
Those who put in the effort should be rewarded, not held back by limits of their spec by Blizzard, Why would I put so much effort into my toon if I am destined to be nothing more then at the bottom of the dps charts?
Cataclysm sells 4.7 million copies in one month {WoW}
Jan 10th 2011 5:21PM What I would be curious to see is how many accounts have been canceled since Dec. 7th
I know of about a dozen so far of people who either returned and left again or canceled after being unhappy with the dungeon changes.
The sudden yet inevitable betrayal of gaming immersion {WoW}
Jan 7th 2011 7:09PM Well Uldum was the best new zone in the game, girlfriend thinks so as well.
But to each their own, however quotes from fiction based in fiction though taking you out of the fiction.... ridiculous. :)
The lack of wands in Cataclysm {WoW}
Jan 5th 2011 4:19PM Saying enchanters make a lot of money is a bit ignorant. First off enchanting mats in Cataclysm are much harder to come by as greens simply do not drop as often as they did in wrath.
Leveling through 80-85 will only get you enough mats to get around 500'ish (and that was using Wrath mats to get a jump start) after that you gotta rely on alt toons sending in greens to level it up or dungeon runs.
Speaking of dungeons isn't it lovely how I am forced to disenchant everyone's items for free! They then take those materials and sell them back to enchanters at a 500% markup, woot!
Also while leveling up I got a nice collection of scrolls enchanted and ready to go, and so did everyone else. Prices on the auction house for most of the scrolls is between 1-5 gold.. wow rolling in it now!
Then you have guildies who need enchants and while they will get their own mats few rarely tip, and when they do it's usually not more then 10-20g.
Yes I can make money on the very top high end enchants, except nobody can afford to buy them let alone enchant them to sell because the epic crystals are as rare as warriors getting buffs.

DJ Q-Bert occupies an awesome space in the DJ scene. If you want to talk about technical know-how, he's one of the immediate names you need to reference. You talking about a 1991 DMC US champion (solo), and a three-time DMC World champion in team competition. What's dope about him is, instead of hording all of the secrets to himself, he banded together with a number of his homies to create the Invisibl Skratch Piklz, sharing their acquired DJ knowledge to the heads who followed them (and helping boost the turntable and mixer-buying public to insane heights during the '90s DJ culture renaissance). DJs like A-Trak are direct descendants of Q-Bert, and A-Trak was even a member of ISP back in the day. When you look at mega-talented DJs like Craze (and loved the Scratch Nerds II project), you have to recognize Q-Bert.
Is this "electronic dance music?" Not at all; the majority of this show and mix are devoted to Q's intergalactic take on hip-hop. But if we're going to pay homage to DJ culture, you have to admire what Q can do with the decks. During the interview portions, Q even speaks on the forthcoming mixers from his camp. And if you dig the tracks he played from his Extraterrestria album, you can contribute to the Kickstarter campaign right now. The top-down aspect of this set is dope, as are the random bouts of breakdancing during the set. Plus, Q is a character – if he's playing at a festival you're attending, we highly recommend you checking him out.
