Birds of a feather flock together. That's what happened in Central Arkansas three years ago when Mockingbird was formed. Fun has been the group's musical drive since that day in October when the world's first wobble bowl solo was played to the tune of Coconut Grove by the Lovin' Spoonful. The fun—for both the band and their audiences— just keeps getting bigger and better. With a rich background in old Ozark Folk tunes, the band enjoys twisting it all up in a post-modern Ragtime, Americana, electric jug band flair. The group has played alongside the likes of Big Smith, Mountain Sprout, Ben Miller Band, Dirtfoot, Two Tons of Steel and Tony Furtado, among others.
Mockingbird is: Michael, Jessica and April.

Never would have expected this. ^^
You guys rock!
I hope to some day release the final game I intended on making. Enjoy!
Well, my biggest disappointment with this was how short it was. That still makes this an awesome game. This is the first time I noticed you using different genres to fight. First, it's dofighting and then first person shooter. While a bit too simple, it's still wonderful. I especially like the designs of the enemies. I managed to do really well and not even die once.
Of course, at this point, I'm used to these kinds of games. You could have probably worked with the cut scenes a bit more. They were a tad too long. I still think the sound effects are done really nicely. You rarely see first personal shooters here anymore.
Excellent flash
I wonder how this game turned out? I thought the flying was awesome... the first person shooter, not so much... but again, this was back in 2005, so who knows... that flying part would be great even today.
Awesome person shooter
nice the first person shooter zone i agree with hank4321
All my 10 because you usually never get a game like this that much online even if you do its really good except why does your weapon restart after you get out of the first person shooter zone?

By Rick Warren — May 21, 2014
God feeds the birds and you are far more valuable to Him than any birds! Luke 12:24 (NLT)
"If you calculate the cost of creating each cell in your body it would be about six thousand trillion dollars. You are priceless. "
How much are you worth? I'm not talking about money. We confuse self-worth with net worth, but they are very different. Your value has nothing to do with your valuables.
How much are you worth?
I once read an article in the Journal of Hospital Practice that calculated how much each of the enzymes and hormones and all the different things in your body are worth. The author added them up and if you are an average size person you are worth six million fifteen dollars and forty-four cents ($6,ooo,o15.44) based on your weight. (Some of us are worth more!)
You're a six-million dollar man or a six-million dollar woman! The article's author also estimated that, if you calculate the cost of creating each cell in your body, it would be about six thousand trillion dollars.
You are priceless.
Jesus thought this was so important that he took a whole chapter of the Bible to talk about it. In Luke 15 he tells three stories -- the lost son, the lost coin, and the lost sheep. It's the same punch line in each story. Jesus says, "You matter!"
You matter to God. You are valuable. God says you are valuable because he loves you and he has accepted you in Christ.
Would you like to become all that God intended you to be? You can, but not on your own power. In these messages Pastor Rick shows you how to unlock the promises in God's word to TRANSFORM your life in eight key areas...from the inside out. You'll want to add this life changing teaching to your library of Christian teaching. We'll also send you the Transformed Music CD, a sound track for life-change, featuring eight of today's best worship songs and two original worship songs.
If you're like most people - every new year - you've tried to make positive changes and then given up or slidden back into old destructive patterns. Here's the good news, with God's help you can make and maintain positive changes in every area of your life. Let Pastor Rick show you how unlocking the promises in God's word and following his instructions will TRANSFORM your life in seven key areas...from the inside out.

Wikipedia talk:Embedded citations
the Wikipedia Help Project | |||||||||||||||||
WikiProject Essays | ||||||||||||||
This page is a verbatim copy of Wikipedia:Citing sources#Embedded HTML links. Having two copies of the same guideline in the Wikipedia namespace seems like a bad idea for several reasons, one of which is that the two copies are likely to get out of sync. Does anyone object to my redirecting this to Wikipedia:Citing sources? I'll wait a week or so for objections and then do it. —Caesura(t) 13:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Caesura, I created this page because I found the information on embedded html link citations very hard to find. The Wikipedia:Citing sources page is way too long. In the past I've become discouraged and given up when trying to figure out how to add a citation to a page. I would suggest the proper action would be to abbreviate Wikipedia:Citing sources#Embedded HTML links. I'll probably take a stab at it myself later. --Nlevitt 18:30, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
- 1 Rename to Wikipedia:Embedded links
- 2 Cite news template
- 3 Self Link in Article?
- 4 Embedded links disadvantages : Spotting references, Web resources not named
- 5 Inconsistent use of 'on'
- 6 What if the "References" section is already in place and has citations from one of the other two acceptable citation systems?
- 7 Again, can we get rid of this redundant word "on"?
- 8 Reuse of same embedded link
- 9 Multiple authors?
Rename to Wikipedia:Embedded links[edit]
This page and citation technique should be renamed to Wikipedia:Embedded links. Wikipedia:Harvard referencing already refers here using this term, and it is much clearer. Embedded citations could refer to any inline citation. Comments? ∴ here…♠ 08:22, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think that's a good idea. We shouldn't be making embedded links that aren't citations, and the rename implies that it's OK. -- Siobhan Hansa 00:00, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback. I agree embedded links should only be citations. However, the name of the article implies nothing about our policy. The name should be appropriate to the tool (even you used embedded links!), and describe what is and isn't ok. I added a note right at the top saying * This style of link should only be used as a citation for a specific section or fact. Other links should be limited to an External links section as described at Wikipedia:External links. ∴ here…♠ 02:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- I feel like we may be talking at cross purposes here. I used the term embedded links because that was the starting point for the conversation. Embedded citations are embedded links, but not all embedded links need be citations and this guideline is about embedded citations (at least, that's my reading of it). It seems to me we ought to use the more specific term so that it doesn't encourage people to broaden the content of the guideline to allow more than citations as embedded links. I don't think I'm seeing your whole point of view - is it just that we should call the guideline embedded links because that's how most people talk about embedded citations?
- By the way, I like your edit on the guideline page. Makes it much easier to follow. --Siobhan Hansa 03:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks ;), it's improving! I agree, we're walking by each other somewhere, heh. My intent is that this will 1) be easier to find by title for those using this technique, and 2) bring in folks seeking info on embedded links for other purposes.
- I'm under the impression that all embedded links should be citations. Your first comment agrees, We shouldn't be making embedded links that aren't citations. Having link in the title would help bring everyone looking for embedded links, citations or not, to this page. At that point we can explain the details and guidelines, along with any possible exceptions. This is similar to Wikipedia:Footnotes, which has to deal with both footnotes as citations and other usage of old footnote templates and <ref> tag usage. ∴ here…♠ 08:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Even the Manual of Style uses this term to refer to this technique. WP:MoS#External_links. ∴ here…♠ 02:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
Cite news template[edit]
I changed the example to use the cite news template, as this provides consistency and is pretty common on Wikipedia. Sorry, I marked the change as "cite web" by mistake. ---Remember the dot 06:54, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I was wondering how to work that in. I re-added the manual technique for comparison. I see no problem offering the option. Folks shouldn't need to get templates to try to use this. ∴ here…♠ 08:01, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
Self Link in Article?[edit]
The first item in the "References" section is a self-link to the article page. Is this intended as a style example? or should it be removed?--Turangalila (talk) 00:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- It's intended as an example; you'll see a link "[1]" near the top of the article, which is the same thing. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:57, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Embedded links disadvantages : Spotting references, Web resources not named[edit]
Let's use the JBoss application server article as an example :
Red Hat announced that they were buying JBoss. Red Hat and JBoss have since completed the acquisition.
The sentence has two embedded links. I see the following disadvantages :
- Spotting references : Embedded links are not automatically linked to a "References" section. This discussion article mentions that they should manually be added to such a section. But what's the point of using embedded links when you can use real references ?
- Web resources not named : In the example external links are used as embedded links. The readers have no idea that the referenced Web pages are Red Hat Signs Definitive Agreement to Acquire JBoss and Red Hat Completes Acquisition of JBoss. This discussion article warns that embedded links can become dead, if so then it's nearly impossible to find the linked resources from their URLs.
This discussion article lists the following advantages :
- Embedded links are easy to visit.
- Embedded links are easy to create and maintain.
I agree that one-clicking a reference is nice but they're in no way easy to maintain. I see them as quick and dirty referencing because the contributors don't even have to actually reference them. They're just URL-linked to the article. I think they just clutter the encyclopedia with useless links, soon to become dead links and lower the overall quality of the project. Comments are welcome. --Goa103 16:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- True, embedded links can become broken links -- but so can links in footnotes. If, however, an editor follows the procedure on the project page, and duplicates the link in a references section as a full cite including retrieval date, there's hope the link can be repaired or dug up in a cache somewhere by the enterprising future reader/editor.
- I think using embedded links & manual references can be useful in an article where footnote style might be awkward -- eg: where the article synthesizes highly similar material from multiple sources. In that case you may want to list some online and/or printed sources without <ref>-ing them to any particular factoid, & the embedded links in the text serve more as "for instance" links for material that also could be found in the other references listed. At least that was my thinking when I composed THIS ARTICLE -- in which most of the information could be found in at least 3 or 4 of the sources listed. I think my solution there works OK, though I'd welcome any criticism (Of course that was also a troll for general feedback on the article, which would be welcome at it's talk page or mine).
- Incidentally, many of the various help pages, at first, left me with the impression that all external links--even references/sources for the article--had to go into a seperate "External Links" section at the end. The guidelines as they currently stand, taken together, sow a bit of confusion on that point, at least for me.
- --Turangalila (talk) 10:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree that embedded links are quick and dirty, and usually not followed up properly in the references section. Even if there is a references section, because there is no direct link between the inline citation and the references section, it is more difficult to determine which inline citation is missing in the references section. I'll take footnote citations over embedded any day. —Brien ClarkTalk 19:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
Inconsistent use of 'on'[edit]
I was recently asked to remove the 'on' in 'Retrieved on' in my refs at FAC. This turns out to be difficult as {cite web} creates the word as standard per the overleaf example. This has been raised at Template talk:Cite web#Redundant word "on" before the date and I have suggested to the guardians of the template that the usage recommended at WP:CITE is at variance from the template. I now see that this is true of this page too.
WP:CITE#Embedded Links suggests the format: Accessed [[October 27]] [[2005]]. Ideally this would be changed from 'Accessed' to 'Retrieved' as this now seems to be the standard verb in use, but there is clearly a discrepancy on this page too regarding the use or otherwise of 'on' that should be cleared up. Ben MacDui (Talk) 09:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
What if the "References" section is already in place and has citations from one of the other two acceptable citation systems?[edit]
The project page doesn't offer any guidance if there already is a "References" section that is being used for footnotes or Harvard referencing. I can see three possibilities; whichever one is the consensus, the project page needs to be changed, along with information at Wikipedia:Citing sources and Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
- Embedded citations shouldn't be used, because we don't mix citation systems within a single article. (But according to the project page, we do.)
- The editor should change the header of the section titled "References" to something else (that would be "Notes" for footnotes; what would it be for Harvard referencing?), and should add a new "References" section, where the full citations required by the embedded citation system should be placed.
- The editor should leave the "References" section as is, and add a new section (titled what?) to place the full citations that are required by the embedded citations system.
As someone who thinks the embedded citations system is problematical (particularly because off-line citations are impossible with it), I'd appreciate the opinions of others - and in fact if there already is consensus on this, including someone changing the project page to address this issue. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 23:32, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
Again, can we get rid of this redundant word "on"?[edit]
How? I've asked at the citeweb template, which is scattering thousands of ons all over the place. We just don't want them. They pass the buck to this page. Who can help? Tony (talk) 05:34, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- erm. What are you talking about? Which redundant "on"? Is there a typo somewhere? -- SiobhanHansa 14:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- "Retrieved ON 4 September, 1978." Can we get rid of the "on" please? It's redundant. Tony (talk) 14:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I see what you're talking about. Unless others object soon you should just be bold and change it. I have no preference myself. You do seem to have been given the run-around a little so far, but you should prepare yourself for the real work after you've succeeded in editing the templates. I expect you'll start to see more opposition from people who care after the change starts trickling down to actual article pages - a lot of these guidelines and template pages aren't watchlisted by many people. -- SiobhanHansa 18:15, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I can't: only admins can. And I bet you a beer that no one will object. What we will' get is every so slightly tidier lists of external links. Tony (talk) 11:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- The page doesn't seem to be protected - you should be able to go ahead and make the change. If not use {{editprotected}} -- SiobhanHansa 12:12, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- You're right, but where's the "on" to remove at template:citeweb? Isn't it in some kind of source code? I've no idea what to do. Tony (talk) 12:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- I believe you need to change the wording in a whole host of places, starting with the two examples on this page. Once you've got it changed here you'll have something "official", as it were, to point to when you actually try to get the wording changed on each of the cite templates. As I understand it, the wording is done individually on each template so you'll need to make the change request on each template talk page (most templates are protected and need admins to change them), opening up opportunities for opposition in each place. That's why I think you probably have most of your work still ahead of you. After that of course there are still all the hand coded references that will each need to be manually changed, but that's a work in progress that all editors can tackle over time - and it may be possible to get a bot to do that once it looks like people accept the new wording. It might make sense to get some other editors on your side who are known for their attention to that kind of detail, then you'd have a workgroup to help with the effort involved. -- SiobhanHansa 13:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- I can't: only admins can. And I bet you a beer that no one will object. What we will' get is every so slightly tidier lists of external links. Tony (talk) 11:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) Thinking about it, an alternative may be to make a proposal here to change the current standard wording (as you did above, but lay it out a little more clearly and make it explicit that it would lead to changes in all the templates) then advertise that debate at the village pump, on each template talk page and maybe on the talk page of the main MoS talk page. If you can develop consensus that actually gets significant input you're less likely to get opposition on each template page. I'm not sure which way would actually be less work, or be best for developing consensus - I suspect many eople won't notice until they see the change trickle down to the actual articles. -- SiobhanHansa 13:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for you advice, Siobhan. I'll think about what to do. Tony (talk) 16:14, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Reuse of same embedded link[edit]
Copies of the same link have a different numbering, is there some way to reuse the same link and have the same numbering? One possible way is to use [url <nowiki>[2]<nowiki>] but this may not be the best option available. 184.108.40.206 (talk) 17:57, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
Multiple authors?[edit]
With embedded citations, is there a way to credit more than one author? Rdavi404 13:58, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
- Just had that same problem. Common occurrence and template in basic editing panel is ignorant to this. -Theanphibian (talk • contribs) 02:30, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

NFL Nation: Alex Mortensen
CANTON, Ohio -- What a rush it must have been for Reggie Corner, bolting up the sideline into the end zone in his Buffalo Bills uniform after intercepting a pass in the stadium where he played high school football.
Jason Miller/US Presswire | |
Buffalo Bills cornerback Reggie Corner intercepted a pass from Titans rookie quarterback Alex Mortensen, son of ESPN's Chris, for a touchdown. |
Now Corner's wondering if it might come back to haunt him.
The quarterback Corner intercepted is Titans rookie Alex Mortensen -- of the ESPN Mortensens.
That's right. His father is Chris Mortensen, who was watching from the press box.
"Wow. Hopefully, he don't bad-talk me," Corner said with sheepish grin when informed who he victimized in the fourth quarter.
The play would turn out to be Alex Mortensen's last.
The undrafted free agent from Arkansas relieved third-stringer Patrick Ramsey. Mortensen completed his first NFL pass, a 10-yard gain to running back Rodney Ferguson for a first down.
His next pass sailed past tight end Craig Stevens and straight to Corner. Ramsey went back into the game on the next possession.
"The quarterback's a good quarterback," Corner said. "He showed poise for the most part. It's preseason. Everybody makes mistakes."
But will Corner be monitoring Chris Mortensen on ESPN in the coming days?
"I'm pretty sure I'll hear about it if something goes sideways," Corner joked.
Some quick hits on the Titans in the wake of their preseason opener, a 21-18 win over Buffalo in the Hall of Fame Game:
- In our first real glimpse, veteran receiver Nate Washington appeared to add just what the Titans were looking for when they signed him away from Pittsburgh -- a more dynamic pass catcher.
- If you don't think quarterback Patrick Ramsey looked better than Vince Young, particularly in the command department, you weren't watching the same game I was.
- It looked to me as if rookie running back Javon Ringer was better than the competition he was on the field against. He may not have Chris Henry's measurables, but he's just more of a football player. In four more preseason chances, he's got to get some carries with at least the second string.
- The deep defensive line is going to have to come in waves and stay fresh, but if the group stays healthy, it has the horses. NBC did a nice job spotlighting second-round defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks in the second half, showing us his combination of strength and speed.
- I thought rookie linebacker Gerald McRath showed up a lot on special teams.
- Is it better as a quarterback to come in, complete a pass, throw a pick six and get replaced ... or not to play? I'm guessing fourth-stringer Alex Mortensen, and his dad, ESPN's Chris Mortensen, would both choose the first scenario, but I'm sure it felt lousy Saturday night. Ramsey returned to finish things after the interception return by the Bills pulled them within five points.
- Veteran safety Donnie Nickey has absolutely no argument about the flag he drew for the head shot he delivered to Jonathan Stupar late in the fourth quarter. That could make the officials tape as an example of what they are trying to prevent.

Update page 5: Do you feel an attachment to another man (not a relative, not SO)?
OK I'm not bothering to go anon for this. I find myself forming an attachment to a man who is not DH. We are 'thrown' together quite a bit. I have a strong marriage. It bothers me!!
Yes a man that is not your DH or S/O.
An emotional attachment. NOT a physical affair but feelings are involved.
Heck no. Can you try to "un-throw" yourself out of the situation, before the feelings get the best of you.
A married to R, proud parents to V 1/11 & VorV 3/13
(.Y.) Platinum and counting..
I guess it's only a problem if you think it's a problem?
I'm pretty attached to a few males that aren't my husband or a relative. They're just really good friends, but I'd never 'cross the line'.
Well I see I am not alone! I'm not sure if this is good or bad, haha.
I'm attached to DH's best friend in a weird way but nothing more than platonic.
He practically lives at our house (okay not really but he's single and is over several nights a week) and he works for us so I see him almost everday and have for 7+ years.
They've been best friends since Kindergarten and we greet each other like "Hey douchebag"..It's really win/win. He's the brother I never had.
I don't have a strong, more than platonic feeling for any man other than my husband though.

The product is fully compliant with both the SD and microSD standard. In addition to that, as stated, it also has a USB-connector which means that you don't need any card reader in order to get data on or off the card. Quite handy if you are on the go and don't have time to mess around with a card reader as it's USB compatible.

The Ligue de Football Professionnel (French pronunciation: [liɡ də futbol pʁɔfɛsjɔnɛl], Professional Football League), commonly known as the LFP, is a French governing body that runs the major professional football leagues in France. It was founded in 1944 and serves under the authority of the French Football Federation. The president of the league is Frédéric Thiriez.
The league is responsible for overseeing, organizing, and managing the top two leagues in France, Ligue 1 and Ligue 2, and is also responsible for the 44 professional football clubs that contest football in France (20 in Ligue 1, 20 in Ligue 2, and four in the Championnat National). The league also organizes a yearly cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue, that, unlike the Coupe de France, is limited to professional clubs.
The history of the Ligue de Football Professionnel dates back before World War II when the committee's primary motive was to ensure clubs in France pay players their wages. The chairman of the early predecessor of the league was Emmanuel Gambardella. Another committee, which monitored professional clubs and the status of professional players also existed during this time and was headed by Gabriel Hanot, who was later responsible for the creation of the European Cup, now the UEFA Champions League. During the Vichy regime, professionalism in France was abolished, which led to clubs forming unpopular regional amateur leagues. Under the current LFP hierarchy, the years 1939–1945 are non-existent.
Following the conclusion of the war, many clubs were hesitant to follow the initiatives of the French Football Federation due to their belief that the federation were not thinking in their best interests and, instead, opted to join an initiative by Gambardella referred the Groupement des clubs autorisés. On 27 October 1944, the Ligue Nationale de Football (National Football League) was officially founded with Gambardella being installed as the organization's first president. The league changed its name back to Groupement des clubs autorisés shortly after and kept the name until 1970 before returning to Ligue Nationale de Football. In 2000, the league changed its name to the Ligue de Football Professionnel.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel describes itself through its mission statement. The LFP must:
- Organize, manage, and regulate all the aspects of professional football in France.
- Finance all operations or any actions that are likely to develop the resources of professional football in France.
- Apply the sanctions imposed by its authority organizations vis-à-vis members of sports clubs and its licenses and any other person bounded by these articles.
- To defend the moral and material interests of French football in France.
The 44 member clubs of the LFP are grouped into two divisions: Ligue 1 (20 clubs) and Ligue 2 (20 clubs). The LFP also oversee the professional clubs that suffer relegation to third-tier Championnat National. Currently, there are four clubs playing in the third division that the league manages. In any given season a club plays each of the others in the same division twice, once at their home stadium and once at that of their opponents, though special circumstances may allow a club to host matches at other venues such as when Lille hosted Lyon at the Stade de France in 2007 and 2008. This makes for a total of 38 games played each season in both leagues.
Clubs gain three points for a win, one for a draw, and none for a defeat. At the end of each season, the club with the most points in Ligue 1 is crowned champion of France. Teams are ranked by total points, then goal difference, and then goals scored. If points are equal, the goal difference and then goals scored determine the winner. If still equal, teams are deemed to occupy the same position. If there is a tie for the championship, for relegation, or for qualification to other competitions, a play-off match at a neutral venue decides rank. The three lowest placed teams are relegated to Ligue 2 and the top three teams from Ligue 2 are promoted in their place.
The LFP also organizes a cup competition, the Coupe de la Ligue. Before its foundation as an official league cup in 1994, the competition was a summer friendly tournament. Unlike the Coupe de France which allows all clubs, regardless of status, to enter, the Coupe de la Ligue only allows professional clubs to participate. The competition is considered second-rate compared to the Coupe de France and attracts much criticism from many who deem the cup as having less prestige and creating fixture congestion.[1]
The DNCG is the organisation responsible for monitoring the accounts of professional association football clubs in France.[2] It was founded in 1984 and is an administrative directorate of the LFP. The current president of the DNCG is Richard Olivier.[3] Along with the LFP, the DNCG has a public mission of service. The mission of the DNCG is to oversee all financial operations of the 40 member clubs of the LFP (as well as those clubs recently relegated to the Championnat National), develop the resources of professional clubs, apply sanctions to those clubs breaking the rules of operation and to defend the morals and interests of French football in general.[2]
Since the LFP's foundation, there have been a total of nine presidents who have served. The first president of the league was Emmanuel Gambardella who ran the organization from 1944–1953. His positive influence on French football led to the French Football Federation naming the country's prestigious under-19 youth cup tournament after him. The current president is Frédéric Thiriez who was elected to his position in 2002.[4]

This Week's Best Album Streams: 10th October 2012
I sat down to type this week's feature with a troubled mind; I had just learned that Mick Hucknall was to receive a lifetime award from The Radio Academy. If that bombshell wasn't enough, the same news article plowed in further with small artillery, informing me that over his career the singer has also earned three Brit Awards and two Ivor Novellos.
"What's the point?" I thought. "In a world of such horror and injustice, doesn't rounding up the week's best new album streams seem almost...trivial? Useless, in the face of this all-encompassing evil?" It was something I thought long and hard about, the Radio Academy chairman's opinion on Hucknall - a "true legend of British music" - sitting at the eye of this brain storm. "NO!" I shouted to my cat, "We need new music now more than ever. We must get over this national tragedy, make do, and mend." To help with the healing process, here are eight albums that appeared online this week.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - ALLELUJAH! DON'T BEND! ASCEND! (The Guardian)
No doubt you already know the drill - four tracks over fifty minutes, post-rock de rigueur, tracks made up of strings and drones and other spooky noises to accompany the opening scenes of desolation in 28 Days Later - except it's all new! And all very, very good.
The Mohawk Lodge - Damaged Goods(Exclaim!)
Damaged Goods was conceived by Mohawk Lodge frontman Ryde Havdale during a long sojourn alone in the woods; however, because he's a Canadian who does these things all the time, he returned not with a collection of introspective folk songs, but with red-blooded anthemic rock in a Hold Steady, Titus Andronicus vein, albeit from the Great White North.
Daphni - Jiaolong (Soundcloud)
Dan Snaith of Caribou provides this corrective to "the EDM barfsplosion currently gripping the corporate ravesters" (his words, not mine) in the form of Jiaolong, a straight-up, unpretentious club banger with enough horn samples, vocal offcuts, and breakbeats - and enough brains - to earn it as much acclaim from MOJO as Mixmag.
Vessel - Order of Noise (Resident Advisor)
Bristol-based Vessel, meanwhile, picks up the ball of her hometown heritage and runs with it, dragging EDM into areas stranger and scarier than even Portishead or Tricky managed. It's an album that is so focused on atmosphere and texture, at times it seems like its barely there; pay attention, though, and there are darkly dubby delights to be found.
Tall Ships - Everything Touching (The 405)
It's taken them bloody long enough, but Tall Ships have finally brought their debut LP into harbour. And it's bloody fantastic - as our own Tom Walters writes, "the crunchy, sugar-sweet hooks that these guys craft with their repetitive riffage and synchronous synths" will be permanently ingrained in your memory ('Vessles' is still their best song, mind).
Martha Wainwright - Come Home To Mama(NPR)
All to often introduced as daughter of Loudon, sister of Rufus - see, I just did it too! - Martha Wainwright's latest outing is one that could break out of that rut; with motherhood on her mind, she focuses her typically confessional lyrics on both her new-born son and the loss of her mother, folk singer Kate McGarrigle, making Come To Mama a diverse album, echoed in the varied alt-roc/folk arrangements. 'Proserpina', the last song McGarrigle wrote, is heartbreaking; and one-ups Martha's song to her father, which was lovingly titled 'Bloody Motherfucking Asshole'.
Ben Gibbard (The 405)
When you've just broken up, you seek solace in the comfortably familiar: so, when the indie marriage of the decade crumbled, Zooey Deschanel took the titular manic pixie dream girl role in post-post-9/11 sitcom New Girl, and Death Cab For Cutie's Ben Gibbard has made a solo album of contemplative songs about relationships and sadness. In the process, he's also made one of his most upbeat, accessible records of his career (outside of the Postal Service), so I guess people can still surprise you.
Jason Lytle - Department of Disappearing (NPR)
The former (and once more?) Grandaddy frontman continues to pretend Grandaddy aren't a solo project in all but name, by releasing an album under his own name. Got that? Department of Disappearing has all Lytle's trademark slacker guitar sounds and robotic bleep-bloops, but as Derek Robertson points out, the now happily-married and country-living Lytle has replaced "sadness and melancholy" with "quiet optimism and satisfaction", without losing that sweet sound.

Most of this was completed on March 26th 2006 at the height of the movement in France against the CPE, and then updated for the following 2 weeks or so as the movement flowed and ebbed. It inevitably expresses the optimism of the moment, with all its over-simplifications.
The photo here, from April 2006, translates as "Block The Economy - Free Those Arrested".
No forgiveness: Algeria 2001
In June 2001 Algeria experienced almost an insurrection which progressively spread throughout the whole country. There was nothing in the media about this, so this text, with the title "Ulach smah" ("No forgiveness"), was translated from the French in July 2001 as a contribution to breaking the silence.
The photo on the left is of a riot in Algeria at this time.
The War On Terror
The following text, written in English by some Greek friends (the TPTG), was published in July 2003 as a discussion document. Though it sometimes has some stodgy ultra-leftist phraseology and thinking, it's generally an extremely interesting summary and analysis of some important aspects of the present epoch such as the ideology of zero tolerance and the dissolution of Keynesianism.
The so-so joke on the left was produced at the end of June 2005

Nutty about walnuts
All that Diwali munching on dry fruits may have been good for you. Walnuts are the best source of natural anti-oxidants among dry fruits. A National Institute of Nutrition study to look at the healthiest dry fruit consumed by Indians has found that the phenolic content in walnuts was as high as 959. 79 mg/100 grams while the least was in cashewnuts (153 mg/100 grams).
Brown raisins were second to walnuts with phenolic content of 749. 37 mg/100 grams, figs 331, ground nuts 323. 55, apricot 304. 63 and dry dates 241 mg/100 grams. The higher the phenolic content, the greater the anti-oxidant levels in it.
NIN scientists, who published this study recently, say that as compared to fresh fruits, the polyphenolic content and AOA (anti-oxidant activity) of dry fruits is higher due to their low moisture content.
Many people avoid nuts because they are high in calories and fat, but experts have reported that the unsaturated fats found in nuts are not as dangerous for the heart as the saturated fats packed in meat and dairy products.
On the contrary, nuts like pistachios contain fewer calories. A recent study published in the British Journal of Nutrition showed pistachios to be one of the lowest calorie nuts with 160 calories per 30 gram serving (approximately 1 ounce).
Pistachios convey a variety of health benefits, including weight management and cardiovascular support, " says lead researcher David J Baer. Pistachio - also known as the 'skinny nut' - is said to be a 'mindful snack' as it takes longer to eat and requires the snacker to slow down and be more conscious of what's being consumed. Other experts say that eating almonds, particularly at breakfast, can help maintain healthy levels of insulin, which helps encourage healthy blood glucose levels and fights type 2 diabetes.

Long while back, we realised this ! All of us at home, we consume a few kernels of walnuts. It is, to us, more like an tasty indulgence than a 'medicine' Suggest, researchers should also give more or better insights into benefits of Cashew Nuts, Groundnuts, Pistachio, or in fact, all such nuts !
yummy,,,,,, my fav., finally i have good reasons for eating.... hahha.....
10 ka dum, i can not read the full news, however i have my account here..pls help me.

I'm very disappointed that the article had no mention of the Gold Star parents that attended the event. It takes an incredible amount of courage to attend a military function where families have their soldiers safely back home with them. Our son was killed in Afghanistan. I live with that pain everyday, but his death was not worthy enough to be mentioned in the article published in the Desert News.

Gold Star,
Thank you to your son for serving our country. I'm
sorry for your loss. I don't have kids yet, so I don't know what
it's like, but thank you.

Gold Star,
I'm sorry you lost your son, but the Deseret News
does recognize and honor troops.
First, not every article can or will
mention the deaths of U.S. soldiers. During a campaign, the focus will typically
revolve around one thing and one thing only- the candidates. The real question
is whether the Deseret News has a record of ignoring the troops or paying them
the honor and respect they have earned. In looking at the history of this site,
one is required to ignore how frequent the Deseret News does such in order to
hold that critical view. CNN, yes. The Deseret News, not really. Again, your
loss is more than sad, more than deserving of recognition everyday. I would
never disagree with that. I believe our troops deserve much more recognition
than our country gives. Still, the Deseret News frequently gives attention to
our deceased soldiers and the remembrance they deserve.
The beliefs
behind its majority reader-base demand that amount of recognition, as a whole we
without question honor fallen troops. Maybe you feel your son is 'lost in
the numbers' (so-to-speak) but I can assure you, he is remembered by

The election will fall on these lines. Voting for Obama, people who get
government handouts (49% of the nation get some form now thanks to Obama), the
very rich 1% (don't let the news fool you) who stand to get a profit for
supporting him (read Solyndra here), Unions members (once again those who will
profit), illegal immigrants (trust me they get to vote, they fall under the
handout category) and the hollywood elite (out of touch with reality, live in
fantasy land).
Who will vote for Romney, the middle class who are
hard working, goal oriented and know when you're putting lipstick on a pig,
the rich 1% who are losing their fortunes to Obama's policies, the
independents and grudgingly the evangelicals ( they have their own issues to
work on, Obama however seems to be worse than voting for a mormon).
Who wins...If you can eliminate illegal immigrant (don't kid yourself,
thats the only reasons Dems want them in the country) votes, and ACORN voter
fraud (still exists under a different name), Romney will win by a landside.

VP and Dr. Biden are about as real as it gets. And one reason I will vote this ticket again is that all the people on it know how to ride public transportation, go through a checkout line and buy stuff at a regular store, go shopping like I do (love Michelle's sneaking out to Target!) and keep it real when they speak with people on the campaign trail. These are people who have felt life as it really is, have had the same experiences as many of us, and worse than a lot of us--most importantly, they haven't forgotten how it felt. It has informed their actions now, and whether you agree with them or not, you can't take that from them.
