Top 5: Seniors by position
Ranking top five senior NFL prospects, by position, for the 2011 season
We're at the midway point of the college football season, so it's a good time for updates, not merely on the top players overall for the 2012 NFL draft, but the top players across all position groups.
This list consists of the top seniors eligible for the 2012 NFL draft. This is a key list, because all of these players will finish their eligibility at the college level this year, so the next step will be the NFL in most cases. This class is of course somewhat diminished, because it lost a number of players to the 2011 NFL draft, but there is still a ton of talent here, and a number of players who will be gone before the end of the first round in the 2012 NFL draft.
For prospects together, here is the most recent 2012 NFL draft Big Board.
For the full list of the top seniors at every position, you need to be an ESPN Insider.

2004 Lexus ES Body Kits
2004 Lexus ES body kits are additional components that can be installed to enhance and rejuvenate a vehicle's look. After years of wear and tear, the exterior paneling on many automobiles begins to look old and ugly. Any damage to a car's paint or to the exterior components themselves can lower a automobile's resale value, making the use of body kits is just that important. A body kits can change a ride look prettier, without ever changing any of the mechanics of the vehicle.
Some aftermarket 2004 Lexus ES bodykits products include replacements for several highly affected parts, air dams and side add ons. These are the areas of a vehicle that are most typically damaged from regular driving, but they alone aren't the only parts that could be easily fixed. Other custom parts can be used to upgrade a car's exterior style, so 2004 Lexus ES bodykits can sometimes be tailored to a car owner's specific requirement. For an improved look that replaces the poor looks created from years of usage, a simple bodykits can make you smile.

Enron, legal, Malcolm Gladwell, White Collar Crime
Questioning The Enron Case, Day 8
It's been eight days (or so) since Malcolm Gladwell's article in the New Yorker got people talking about Enron again. Consider the Enron case officially re-opened. And by "officially" we mean "under debate on the interwebs." So it's not legally re-opened but there is at least a chance that the public understanding of Enron might […]

More Heat For Gladwell's Enron Essay
Wow. It wasn't long-ago that Malcolm Gladwell was a media darling. Critical remarks on his writing came from only a few sources, including federal judge Richard Posner and writer Steve Sailer's blog. But now he's gone and challenged one of the central myths of our times–the Myth of Enron Evil–and all bets are off. The […]

Gladwell's Definitions Mysterious and Puzzling
That Malcolm Gladwell article we pointed to the other day has been taking some hits lately. Brad DeLong totally harshes on the the Free Jeff Skilling buzz here.

Well. Okay. That headline may be a bit strong. But Malcolm Gladwell's New Yorker piece on Enron certainly has definitely brought the issue of Jeff Skilling's conviction and incredibly harsh sentence back into public discussion. At least if "people writing on the internet" counts as "public discussion." Some recent responses: • Larry Ribstein asks: "So […]

Business journalism feuds are so much fun because there is so little at stake. There's even less at stake in most business journalism than, say, foodie writing.

It seems that Malcolm Gladwell really, really didn't like the response to his latest New Yorker article from Jane Galt (who, in the interest of full disclosure, we'll now take the time to admit having met socially on more than one occasion; and further, we'll admit we found her rather fetching each time—although […]

Hollyweird Proves It Can Still Hit New Lows
To put it mildly, they don't make westerns like they used to. Once they illustrated honorable values and were suitable for the whole family to watch. Now, Hollywood excretes filth like the upcoming Django Unchained, tastelessly scheduled to open Christmas Day and starring the atrocious Jamie Foxx.
A screening of the film on Tuesday led to reviews that warn of extreme violence and excessive cursing.
'Quite naturally, given the historical setting, the N-word gets a heavy workout, by whites and blacks alike. But much more forceful is the cruelty dispensed by the Southern whites, both as punishment and whim,' a review in The Hollywood Reporter says.
When Foxx's character is asked if he likes his job as a bounty hunter, he gushes:
'Kill white folks and they pay you for it — What's not to like?'
No doubt all the self-loathing liberals in the theater will cheer as they did when Foxx delivered a similar line on Saturday Night Live.
The point of this evil trash? To denigrate the South, to encourage whites to hate themselves, to exacerbate the epidemic of black on white violence, to tear the country even further apart, and to make the likes of Quentin Tarantino even richer in the process.

Header for garage door
nicemacMarch 6, 2008
I am building a detached workshop with an 8' overhead door. The building is 22' wide and I intend to build a double 2"x12" with a piece of 1/2" plywood sandwiched in between for the header over this opening. Looking at the IRC 2006 building code header table R502.5, this is within the guidelines to meet local code. My question is this; although it is adequate to meet code, is it adequate to not sag over the years? I hate to spend the $$ on LVL, but don't want sagging 10 years from now.
Thanks in advance,

Californians should stop paying any taxes that go towards law enforcement since the empty-scrotemed California State Police refuse to protect Mr. Sandusky from the rogue federal rascals.

"Life Is But A Dream..."
We wont forget you.
There's a rumor that the 4th Hokage might be the Akatsuki leader. You never really see his face, though.
Death is just an obstacle, striving to frighten its victims...
Why he get banned?
Btw, where you hear rumor about 4th Hokage as Akatsuki leader?
I love you,so please don't love me.
"Maximum signature main image size = 500*115 pixels"
And people speculate that the Akatsuki Leader is Yondaime because of their hair. It's only a theory. There is also another theory going around that the Akatsuki Leader is a relative of Kurenai. They both have similar eyes, but we don't know yet if the Akatsuki Leader's eyes are red.
Crappy picture of the leader, but the eyes are similar. Irises and everything. All we need to know is the eye color of the Leader.

When planning affordable beach vacations for families, the number one way to save money is by cutting the costs of traveling. It's possible that airfare may be cheaper, but more than likely you'll save by driving to your rental destination. This makes Florida a great destination for many people.
What's so great about Florida?
Florida has easy access with interstates and you don't need to drive all the way to Key West or Miami to find some great beaches. Some of the most popular locations in Florida are Panama City, Fort Walton Beach and Destin. You will find these beaches in the skinny part of Florida that runs underneath Alabama. It can be a little cooler here during the winter but in the summer there will generally be less humidity. See the map below.
There are many more towns to be seen including Dog Island -which is full of unspoiled beaches, St. Joseph Peninsula State Park, Grayton Beach and Blue Mountain Beach. Grayton Beach is an artsy community, while Blue Mountain Beach can be found between Destin and Fort Walton Beach. Here are some tips to you help you enjoy Florida beaches without breaking your wallet.
Book Early
Most hotels and beach houses give discounts for guests who book early. So with this, it might be beneficial to plan your trip weeks ahead to give you the advantage of scoring cheaper accommodations. Demands for hotels peak during the last minute and at this point, hotels have the leverage to increase their prices. Booking early will help you secure a place to stay for a significantly lower amount.
Sign up for Newsletters and Memberships
Most hotels and apartments along the Florida beach have websites where they post updates, rates, and discount coupons. Most of the time, they give out the huge discounts for those who have coupons. Similarly, if you're a member of their newsletter or online community, these hotels will also give you member discounts when you book online. Here's a great place to sign up for deals in Orlando.
Be Flexible with Dates
Cheaper rates are given to guests who are pretty flexible with the dates of their trip. When you include many options for your booking, it will allow the hotel to squeeze in as many guests for that week, giving them the choice to offer the room for cheaper rates.
When you're planning your trip, do not settle for a single date only, try to come up as many choices as you can.
Planning for a Family
If you're planning for a family there are some things to consider. Please see tips on the Best Beach Vacations for Families.
Explore and Research
Of course, finding cheap hotels along the Florida beach takes time, patience, and research on your part. Cheap beach vacations in Florida are made affordable by how much time you research and explore. Do not settle for the names that you know, or the accommodations that are very popular. These places can charge more than the ones which are lesser-known.
Hotels providing all inclusive vacations in Florida are not only the ones which are near and popular, you can get the same services from accommodations which are not that famous and off-the beaten track.
Further, you might want to look for places which are a few meters away from the beach. Beachfront hotels and apartments are more expensive than those which are farther away from the shore. Prepare yourself to walk a few meters to spend lots of dollars!
Be Adventurous, Go Off-Season
Yes, we get it. You'd want to arrive at Florida during the summer, where the beaches are beautiful and the people are all raving in parties here and there. But this scene is the expensive scene in Florida. Vacation rentals in Florida become way cheaper if you decide to go off-season.
Off-season trips might not be as loud and colorful during the summer, but think about it, not only do you get cheaper accommodations; you'd also get to see the side of Florida which is quiet, relaxing and all yours!
Consider Bed and Breakfast Over Hotels
Your wallet might be happier if you choose to stay at a bed and breakfast than in a hotel. Bed and breakfast joints are way cheaper, you have more choices, and you'll truly feel the culture of Florida when you decide to stay in one.
Most bed and breakfast have the same amenities as hotels do but space might be more limited.
Finding affordable accommodations along the Florida beach is easy when you just take the time to research and explore. Also, keep in mind that the success and fun of your vacation does not lie on your accommodations only, it also depends on how prepared you are to take the trip. Before you go, make sure that everyone has enough clothes, money, sunscreen, and other essential items. Also, go over your trip at least once so that everyone knows where to go and when.

basic installation was easy however there was no instructions in the box and the plug on new lights did not fit had to cut off the one on old lights and splice them together. Now I get an error message on the the computer that lights are out. The lights look great but that's about it
Reviewed By Kent R (PARKER, CO) Reviewed for a 1996 Jeep Cherokee —2/24/2015 10:50 AM
I was amazed at the quality of these headlights. I've been looking for some time, and the ones I saw looked cheap, and very questionable for endurance and ease of installation. These are tough headlights, will last decades. and the conversion could not be simpler and straight forward. And yes, as I hoped, they're definitely brighter. I recommend this product to anyone tired of the weak old sealed beam lights.

The Lodge is in the perfect location at the beginning of Canal Park. The Lakewalk is right outside their back door. The staff was friendly, and the included breakfast had a variety of items. The Lodge was clean, and had a nice openness to the guest area with large windows looking out to Lake Superior. The check out wasn't until noon so we were able to walk to Leif Gardens and back in the morning and not have to move our car. The public parking is rather expensive and sometimes tough to find. We were very pleased with our choice to stay in Duluth.

The Devil Doll from Outer Space International on Vimeo.
You heard that right, CInsomniacs and Sleepless Knights! It's Up to YOU to pick this month's theme! It can range from a variety of misunderstood topics: misunderstood monsters, misunderstood films, etc. The Winning theme choice will be released this WEDNESDAY along with the name of the WINNER of the Baby Lobo baby doll made by Wicked Little Nursery.
So what do you say, Cinsomniacs and Sleepless Knights? What should Cinema Insomnia's APRIL THEME OF THE MONTH be? Leave your suggestions in the comments or private message us your ideas. You can also post a pictures of your ideas as well. What shall this THEME OF THE MONTH shall be? SEND IN YOUR SUGGESTIONS!
Dear Fair and Noble Sleepless Knights, CInsomniacs, and Misunderstood Movie Lovers from near and far! Mitch Mittens here! I apologize for not showing my leaves since January. It's been quite busy over here behind the green curtain. I seemed to be growing quite bald over the winter and had to receive an immediate leaf transplant. Don't laugh, it runs in the family-just ask Miss Mittens. Ok, no don't ask her, she'll probably tell Grandfather Mittens and he'll show up in his wheelbarrow and award winning garden trowel. No matter, I am now 100% recovered and ready!
Today I am joined by one of the most misunderstood Babies of all time…..Baby Lobo! He is joining me this month for his ONE and ONLY MISUNDERSTOOD REVIEW! Next month he shall be sent to his new home to a special Sleepless Knight or CInsomniac to love, to hold, and to enjoy all the misunderstood movies this world has to offer!
Since this month is "CREEPY BABY MONTH," Baby Lobo and I agreed to view and review the battle between two of FULL MOON ENTERTAINMENT famous horror monsters of all time: the DEMONIC TOYS and THE PUPPET MASTER puppets in PUPPET MASTER VS. DEMONIC TOYS(2004)! Baby Lobo filled up on milk and applesauce while I popped some plant food-flavored popcorn. Something told me this movie would be GREATLY misunderstood. Baby Lobo took the lead with the Insomniac Oath then we pressed play.
Take a peak at the Trailer first before reading on:
Now right as soon as the movie began, I noticed two things. One, there is no sign of "Full Moon Entertainment presents" and instead it's the SyFy channel instead which means this is truly a misunderstood movie. The SyFy channel is responsible for MANY misunderstood films and sequels to some of our beloved horror classics including the last two THE RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD series additions along with this film. Next up was the drastic form change in the DEMONIC TOYS designs compared to the original FULL MOON films. Observe:
HUGE difference! And if you are a die hard PUPPET MASTER fan and haven't seen this movie-you might want to shield your eyes on what they do to Toulon's puppets.
The film starts off with a Christmas toy commercial of children opening up their presents, revealing the new editions of the DEMONIC TOY dolls. The camera pans out to show a some-what rough looking Corey Feldman, grumbling about the commercial while he works on Toulon's puppets. Feldman plays the role of Robert Toulon, the great-grandnephew of Andre Toulon. His character also has a teenage daughter who looks old enough to be his sister instead of his daughter. Now, they both discovered the secret formula to bring the puppets back to life. Word of warning: When your shop gets attacked by evil henchmen, never keep your overly large syringes out in plain sight when an unprofessional cop enters arrives on the scene. Bad acting and awkward glances shall arise…..really bad acting.
On the DEMONIC TOYS side, we meet Vanessa Angel's character. A spoiled rich woman who inherited her families' toy company following her father's death. Her father had made a deal with the demon of wealth "Bael" in order to for his greedy daughter to have control over the Demonic Toys. Downside, the toys are not so obedient anymore. After finding out about the Toulon formula, she seeks to steal if from her former employee, Robert Toulon, and formulate her own evil scheme.
The rest of the film is made up of overly exaggerated lines and scary acting from the main characters (thank you Feldman), enough botox to make the story line float away into the abyss (the lips!), an evil plan to have monstrous toys wake up on Christmas morning to wreak havoc upon the innocent, and an unforgettable battle between puppets and toys. In the end, Baby Lobo and I agreed to give this film a 7 1/2 out of 10 Hypnotic Eyes.
Have any more Cinsomniacs or Sleepless Knights tuned into this film? If so, what are your thoughts on it? Do you agree with the rating? Leave your comments or private message and let us know! If you have a suggestion of another film for MITCH MITTENS to review, leave it in the comments. Thank you for "tuning in" and come back for more MISUNDERSTOOD REVIEWS!
SIR ANDY FINKLE is a monster enthusiast, a librarian, and a visual artist. He creates his uniquely creative pieces in his art studio located in an old camper.
He participates in various shows along the East Coast and the Midwest, sharing his creations with attendees. He also shares his work on his website andyfinkle.com and had participated in our CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Theme of the Month this past January by sharing his painting of "The Kilted Creature."
Around ten years ago, SIR ANDY dove deep into learning about different horror hosts. MR. LOBO quickly became his favorite. So much so that he emailed MR. LOBO, asking him if he could paint MR. LOBO's portrait.
Currently, his favorite misunderstood films are ones featuring monsters and aliens. He continued,
"If it turns out the monster isn't bad (as in evil) so much as misunderstood than it is all the better. I love movies that were made on low budgets. Some of them do not seem to have been made to make money so much as because those involved in the project felt compelled to make the movie, those are the most fun."
MR. LOBO and DIXIE tapped the talented Andy Finkle to illustrate the late great Barry Lee Hobart AKA DR. CREEP(1941-2011) for their tribute in the print edition of HORROR HOSTS AND CREATURE FEATURES magazine.
When it comes his overall favorite misunderstood monster movie film, SIR ANDY's personal favorite is the tale of the mad scientist who injected himself with a formula, transforming into a catfish beast entitled ZAAT or THE BLOOD WATERS OF DR. Z(1971).
"I love the scene with the hippie pied piper, the team in matching jumpsuits that travel around in an RV, and the crazy hand-drawn wheel illustration made by Dr. Z. That movie has got it all!" SIR ANDY recommended.
Thank you, SIR ANDY FINKLE, valued Sleepless Knight for ALL your Support for CINEMA INSOMNIA,watching all those Misunderstood Movies and continuous support! Here is your FAN OF THE WEEK certificate that you can share, download, and print. Congratulations, SIR ANDY FINKLE - SLEEPLESS KNIGHT OF THE WEEK–for March 27th through April 2nd, 2015.
For a full month we have brought you a look at some majorly spooky and over all creepy dolls on and off the silver screen. Record album covers featuring missionaries with their ventriloquist dummies….now those are plain scary. You've also shared with us some creepy dolls of your own in the past and in the present. This picture was sent in by Sleepless Knight Kim Wailes of her older sister's old Barbie pictures. Lady Kim explained the story behind the picture:
"My older sister's Barbie family pictures were always a bit more put together. That baby is creepy. Grandma and Grandpa dolls' eyes came out and fit perfectly into the ring hole on Barbies' hands so those two eventually lost all of their eyes, and they were terrifying with just eye socket hole."
We've also been holding a Spooky Doll contest. What do you have to do? Take a picture of you or your family with a creepy doll of your own personal collection or of the creepiest doll you've ever seen. It MUST NOT be from the Internet but be created or taken by you or a family member. You or your family member MUST be in the picture, not just the doll. You can send them in by posting them on our Facebook page wall, Direct Message them to our Instagram Page, Reply to this article with the picture, or Tweet us the picture! You may also send in as many pictures as you want. The winner shall receive this Handcrafted MR. LOBO Baby Doll created by the lovely ladies of Wicked Little Nursery! Deadline is March 31st! Hurry and get your pictures in today!
For the final week, we will be sharing MANY different creepy doll pictures. If you still have creepy doll pictures or art you'd like to send in to share on the pages-send them in! Let's make this final week spooky, creepy, and ooky!
**Stay Tuned later this week for News About Next Month's Theme of the Month! Bring your favorite monsters and misunderstood movies-they might be next month's theme!
The curtain has risen, the fog machines have begun, and through the smokey haze arises our Fan of the Week LORD BLOOD-RAH! He first met MR. LOBO at the famous WONDERCON around the early 2000s. At that time, LORD BLOOD-RAH wasn't aware that the horror hosts were still going strong. He purchased two of MR. LOBO's DVDs from his booth and has been a strong CInsomniac ever since, filling up on misunderstood horror films.
LORD BLOOD-RAH began on his "misunderstood quest" for Horror and Sci-fi flicks all the way back to the classic show CREATURE FEATURES hosted by Horror Host SIR BOB WILKINS,
"I grew up watching that show and blame it for my current condition!" He exclaimed, with a smile.
Today, LORD BLOOD-RAH is a well esteemed Horror host with his show LORD BLOOD-RAH'S NERVE WRACKIN' THEATRE for the past six years and is still going strong in the "Horror Host Community".
He began his reign through hosting shows at live venues to the masses in the Bay Area and grew over the years. His show is currently in production for his fourth season and airs in Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan as well as two local television stations and on the Horror channel GETSCARED TV on ROKU.
Here is one of his episodes featuring the 1962 misunderstood classic EEGAH!:
Thank you, LORD BLOOD-RAH, valued Sleepless Knight for ALL your Support for CINEMA INSOMNIA, the Horror Host community, and watching and showing Misunderstood films! Here is your FAN OF THE WEEK certificate that you can share, download, and print. Congratulations, LORD BLOOD-RAH –THE SLEEPLESS KNIGHT OF THE WEEK–for March 20th through March 26th, 2015!
Casino and Gambling games have been played for centuries. People from here in the United States of America, to the United Kingdom, China, Russia, Italy, France, Holland, and many other countries, play an endless variety of casino games. The casinos become a favorite destination for the players and many players develop a special bond with a particular establishment. One of UK's most popular casinos, http://vegas.williamhill.com/ is such a casino. People at different point of time have created many interesting stories around casinos and the casino games.
The world of casino is colorful, exciting, lively, kitschy, and full of fun. Let's look at some of the great casino stories.–Stories that tell how the world of casino affects the lives and lifestyle of people, who enter it…
The Gambler Who Blew $127 Million: the highest gambling spree on record…
According to The Bored Ninja story, a man named Terry Watanabe's gambling spree cost him close to $200 million. Terry, the son of Harry Watanabe, who founded the famous bulk novelty empire–Oriental Trading Company, became the CEO of the company in 1977. He sold his entire stake to a private equity firm in 2000 and amassed a massive amount money–only to engage in drinking and gambling. He visited Las Vegas in 2007 and never left. His addiction drove him to nonstop drinking and gambling. He would play for 24 hours without a break and spend up to $500,000 in a single day. During those years, the casino he was playing in, Harrah's earned 6% of their total revenue from Mr. Terry alone. Luckily, his sister later saved him from this situation.
The $5,000 Gamble of FedEx
You may have heard this famous casino story. It's said that the founder and CEO of FedEx in 1971 gambled $5,000, converted it to $34,000 and saved the company from financial disaster. After just three years of running their business, the shipping company, Federal Express, became the victim of the rapidly rising fuel cost. They were losing nearly a million dollars every month. None of their investors were willing to loan the company money. At that point, the company had only $5,000 to his name. The CEO flew to Las Vegas for the weekend and played Blackjack. By that Monday, the company had $34,000 in its account, which was sufficient to fuel their planes. Soon, the operation was on it's feet. After four years of hard work(and an insane gamble) and the company registered its first profit.
The 8-Year-Old Boy Who Won $500,000 from Online Poker
If you believe what's been reported on numerous casino websites, you may have seen the fascinating and inspiring story of Aashis Nanak, a boy from India. The eight year old won close to half a million dollar rupees playing online poker using his uncle's account. The child genius was building web pages when he was only four years old. It was reported that the poker website refused to pay the money, considering his age and blocked his account. The legal battle between the Poker website and the boy's family is apparently ongoing as no outcome has been reported.
Thanks for taking a gamble on this guest article. Best of LUCK to you in the future!
SIR BOB JOHNSON grew up in the suburban plains of the San Mateo Peninsula in California. It was here where he grew up watching a science fiction, monster movies, and horror films at a young age. Many of them consisted of the classic Japanese monsters like the mighty GODZILLA and superheroes such as ULTRAMAN!
While he was in 2nd grade, he started getting into misunderstood movies. He recalled the momentous moment,
"I was over at a friend's house. He said 'There's a cool movie on, you have to see it!' That movie was THE FLY (1958). From that moment, I was hooked on monsters, horror, and Sci-fi. Searching out movies, glued to the TV for CREATURE FEATURES, Channel 44's Friday Night Drive-In Movie, THE GHOUL, MONSTER MATINEE, and other shows that would present the movies I loved."
SIR BOB currently runs the Bay Area Film Events, a group that produces movie screenings and film festivals. The different shows that are held have been GODZILLAFEST, ULTRAMANIA, BEATLES WEEKEND, THE CREATURE IN 3D, two BOB WILKINS benefits. They have also held two CREATURE FEATURES NIGHTS at AT&T Park in which movies were shown after the Giants' game and the patrons gathered on the field to watch NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) featuring JUDITH O'DEA as a special guest the first year while the second year they showed CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON (1954).
SIR BOB met MR. LOBO while attending Scott Moon's CREATURE FEATURES show in Sacramento which featured Bob Wilkins and young MR. LOBO. Later down the road, they became friends and SIR BOB tuned into CINEMA INSOMNIA on KTEH and posted on the Yahoo groups. He even answered the phones for KTEH's CINEMA INSOMNIA pledge night.
Soon, MR. LOBO made appearances at the different Bay Area Film Events such as GODZILLAFEST and shared the stage with THE GHOUL for HALLOWEEN TERRORAMA! He also hosted 007 WEEKEND to THRILL, and the BOB WILKINS benefit shows at the Cerrito Theater in El Cerrito and The Crest Theater in Sacramento.

Now Hear This, Vol. IV
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Sat Aug 2 2014 10:04 PM ]
You are about to enter another dimension. A dimension of A/V. This is the middle ground between mediocre and too-good-to-be-true, between something called "reggae" and the sound angels emit. You are traveling deep into the realm of rad tuneage. Next stop, Now Hear This!
On the local tip, swervegaze wizard REIGHNBEAU is premiering the boss music video for "Milk of Amnesia" at the Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) on Wednesday, Aug. 6. One of the perks of the fourth estate is sneak peeks, and I can assure you that my REIGHNBEAU crush remains strong. The screening will be followed by a live performance and light show. The house lights dim at 10:20pm only to rebound with matchless radiance. For more deets and to RSVP for this free cinematic event, click here. Below, listen to or download REIGHNBEAU's "bootleg" of Angelo Badalamenti's "Twin Peaks" theme.
"moccvsin gvze"
Chapter House is an enigmatic micro label whose catalog is hyperlinked to genres like "punk," "moccvsin gvze" and "stewgaze." The label's latest compilation features Four Corners-based and nuevomexicano artists. Ryan Dennison and DISCOTAYS are all-time favorites of mine, but I was unfamiliar with other acts showcased on the release. And while I didn't unearth the secret lives of those new-to-me bands, I did discover groups with names like Purple Cats in Slacks, Midnight Stew and The Fly that are ripe for inclusion in New Mexico's sonic cosmology. Stream Volume 3 below and nab some pay-what-you-will releases from the Chapter House Bandcamp.

This entry's final homespun miracle is the NSFW [coughfreethenipplecough] music video for the opening tracks from sleaze-thrash trio [H]ohm's Haroun Farm EP. The narrative begins with telegenic power-drummer Kris Kerby hitchiking, and it focuses on the band and alt.models from The Voodoo Dolls, including co-owner Jelly Honey. Produced by Solano Pictures, the photography and editing are professional-
Now Hear This, Vol. III

Consumers of my dancing-
The Daily Mail reports that it's created using carbon nanotubes—"which are 10,000 thinner than human hair and so miniscule that light cannot get in but can pass into the gaps in between"—and if that isn't enough, it's 10 times stronger than steel and conducts heat seven-and-a-half times more effectively than copper. Yeah. Owing to my obsessive-compulsive nature, themes prove irresistably attractive, so here are my favorite songs that pay tribute to blackety-black, er, Vantablack. Share your favorite black-centric tracks in the comments, fellow darklings.

Now Hear This, Vol. II
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Thu Jul 10 2014 5:43 PM ]
Are you properly caring for your inner goth? My years of rockin' an all-black wardrobe, a Wite-Out complexion and panda eyes may be over, but I take care to nourish my blackety-black heart and sonic sensibility. If you're feeling the urge to chainsmoke clove cigs, brood and write bad poetry, I recommend channeling that energy into a celebration of Dark Entries Records' fifth anniversary.
DJ Josh Cheon founded the label in July 2009 with the intention of releasing out-of-print and unreleased underground '80s treasures. Named for the first 7-inch released by goth icon Bauhaus, Dark Entries' focus is curation, preserving sound quality and respecting its artists' aural aesthetic . And, yes, the label's output is strictly vinyl.
Dark Entries' lifeblood is the excavation, quality reproduction and distribution of largely unknown pleasures, but it also showcases contemporary acts whose sound harkens back to the heyday of minimal synth, coldwave, dark wave, electro, Italo disco and post-punk. Highlights of the Dark Entries catalog include work by Dark Day, Jeff and Jane Hudson, Starter, Linea Aspera, Kitchen & the Plastic Spoons, Algebra Suicide, Los Microwaves, Patrick Cowley, Victrola, Lè Travo, Crash Course in Science, Lassigue Bendthaus, Cute Heels and Helen.
"If only for the old times," reminisce and peer into the future by exposing your dark side to Dark Entries.
The Daily Word in ride-sharing rules, AR-15s and Steely Dan
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Thu Jul 10 2014 9:30 AM ]

Now Hear This, Vol. I
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Sun Jul 6 2014 1:00 PM ]
Welcome to the first installment of "Now Hear This," a column to chronicle my obsessive-compulsive sonic studies, archaelogical and futurist alike. And while here with me, expect everything from old and alt.country to rocanrol to dark wave to Italo disco to queercore to punk to riot grrrl to noise to minimal synth and everywhere in between ... Except smooth jazz, (most) contemporary country and reggae. They just don't do it for me. As they say—who are they, anyway?—there's no accounting for taste.
I embrace that motto and am wholly dependent on my musical addiction to transcend the banality of everyday life. Don't get me wrong. I really dig my life. Getting to collaborate with and work alongside an uber-talented editorial staff and freelancers every day is, like, the dream. But sometimes you simply have to hear something new or unfamiliar that excites and challenges you. This column will serve as complement to my colleague Mark Lopez' wide-ranging Rooster Roundabout series.
My soundscape and its population, past and present, have benefited from the hive mind of many wonderful humans, ranging from my vinyl historian pal Mike Harper in Huntsville, Tex., who first exposed me to the music nerd bug;
to synth/post-punk/ industrial maven and Systems of Romance curator Frankie Teardrop, also of cold wave/post-punk band The Harrow;
to Dirt City denizen Derek Caterwaul, notably of KUNM Radio and Low Life at Blackbird Buvette, who remains one of my favorite DJs after more than a decade of listening to his Music to Soothe the Savage Beast and Overnight Freeform shows;
to Burqueña Tahnee Udero aka DJ Tahnee, whose massive knowledge base is supplanted by exquisite taste, and her solo project TAHNZZ garnered serious listmas praise in 2013;
to Mello Sanchez aka DJ Mello, an uber-talented DJ and pastry chef and one of my best friends;
to northerly neighbor Lorrie Edmonds, curator of I Will Not Return Your Records, which I can safely say is one of the best radio shows on the planet.
So this is a shout-out to all y'all strange, kindred music nerds, both the ones I know and the ones I haven't met yet.

Tying the Gordian Knot: Marriage equality amplifies affinity spectrum
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Wed May 7 2014 11:01 PM ]
I'm a relative newcomer to the world of marriage, but I already know a little: It's not a contract to be entered into lightly. The person you marry should be your must trusted confidant, your best friend, your most ardent fan and (sometimes) your harshest critic. But when it works, it's really lovely. And even when it doesn't work quite as well—especially in comparison to the reality-challenged world of the rom-com—it's still pretty great.
When I got married (to the absolute love of my life) in 2012, same-sex marriages weren't legally recognized by the state of New Mexico. As excited as I was to get married—and perhaps more importantly, to be married—it really harshed my nuptial buzz to know that so many of my friends were not allowed access to that right. Thankfully the realm of marriage equality in New Mexico has been reformed to respect the rights of all couples that populate this enchanted, difficult landscape.
In celebration of love and equality, Weekly Alibi is calling for essays (of less than 750 words) on the meaning of marriage equality and surviving the before-time ... when the marital rights of all citizens were not deemed equal. Email essays to firstname.lastname@example.com, including "Pride 2014" in the subject line. We really want to hear your story. Some will be sad and some joyous, and we want to hear them all. Why? Because your stories—the trajectories of your lives—in the here and now are history-
If your choose to share your story—and we sincerely hope you will—we'll invite some of you to join us on our Chapel of Love-themed Pride 2014 float; we'll be near the front of the parade, right behind Equality New Mexico's company of already-married husbands, and wives. After the parade, we offer to usher you in to a group ceremony on Main Stage ... or not. Our choices about how and whether to get married have a lot of cultural, traditional and religious significance and implications. And we respect that. But there's no rule that you can't get married to the same person more than once. The personal is political, and we will be honored to bear witness to all those who wish to be united. In coordination with Albuquerque Pride, we've arranged for Metropolitan Community Church Pastor Rev. Judith L. Maynard to officiate the ceremony.
So write us at firstname.lastname@example.com. And to everyone else, we'll see y'all at Pride. We'll be the ones waiting down by the chapel ... dressed in white.

Nymphomaniac Vol. II: Pitch-dark existentialist fairy tale zigs feminist zag
By Samantha Anne Carrillo [ Sat Apr 26 2014 1:34 PM ]
Embattled Dutch auteur Lars von Trier's "Depression Trilogy"—Antichrist, Melancholia and now Nymphomaniac—culminates in a revelatory and arguably feminist existentialist fairy tale. Admittedly, it's more Grimms' than Aesop.
Antichrist is a magical realist horror show, and Melancholia is a Wagnerian sci-fi epic. Triptych finale Nymphomaniac is an existentialist torture "porn" double-feature. Released in two parts, Vol. I left the audience at terror-struck anticlimax as protagonist Joe fails to achieve orgasm. The psychodrama of Vol. II dances widdershins on a dark, twisty path paved by the sexploitation genre. Where Antichrist examined medieval witchcraft and the history of gynocide and Melancholia expertly manipulated ownership of knowledge and the imagination of disaster, Nymphomaniac explores patriarchy and stigmatized female desire.
With minimal introductory pomp, a soft-focus lens captures young Joe (Stacy Martin) mourning carnal summit. Again the viewer is voyeur to asexual nerd Seligman (Stellan Skarsgård) and present-day Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and their sex-and-fly-fishing tête-à-tête. Joe recalls the inception of her lust—it involves levitation, spontaneous orgasm and the Whore of Babylon. Seligman's weakest digression ever, toward Jesus' transfiguration on the mount, Zeno's paradox of Achilles, and the divergence of essential doctrine of Eastern and Western Church doctrine inspires Chapter One's title.
"The Eastern Church and The Western Church (The Silent Duck)" explores the incongruity of monogamy with Jerôme (Shia LaBeouf)—and attendant pregnancy, domesticity and complex maternal emotions—with Joe's longing to be overfull. Contentment is transmuted, and Jerôme's reluctant consent to an open marriage sets the stage for unfamiliar and increasingly masochistic sex. Highlights include Joe's matchless revamp of fuck-me clothes, an entirely nonverbal encounter with two African fellows, and engaging the services of professional dom K (Jamie Bell). In escalating sessions with sadistic K, Joe's submissive alter ego "Fido" prizes dogged pursuit of the little death above all else. A campy demo of "the silent duck" segues into a hurled teacup, betraying sentimental anger, and the next passage is named for spectacular reflection.
"The Mirror" observes Joe compulsively, injuriously masturbating in an office bathroom and communicating (mostly with herself) in employer-mandated sex addict meetings. She earnestly tries to gain some control over her addiction and consequent self-mutilation. Working the steps means reducing exposure and removing incentive. After witnessing Joe's version of sex-proofing an apartment, you'll never see your bathroom sink or mirrors in quite the same way again. Joe's kilometer-wide stubborn streak rears up just shy of a month of sobriety. She rebels against the twelve-steppers, proclaiming her refusal to erase her own obscenity so the bourgeoisie can feel safe. A tea stain and irreverent references to the literature of Ian Fleming provide the cut-up lead-in to resolution in "The Gun."
The workaday world isn't for her, and she meets L (Willem Dafoe), who initiates her into the unscrupulous world of "debt collection." Her general facility with and knowledge of men and their desires and fears proves useful in the world of heavy handed persuasion to pay. L pragmatically inspires Joe to mentor an at-risk 15-year-old P (Mia Goth). In the world of extortion, parenting happens on a whole 'nother level. A mentee acts as a right hand, and as amoral L half-sneers, some might even do time for their surrogate advocate. Joe attends P's basketball games for three years and eventually wins her loyalty at the age of maturity.
Gainsbourg illuminates the role of outsider, a wholly sexual woman whose very existence stands in opposition to the patriarchy of both the Church and secular culture. Seligman delivers a fervent feminist polemic on how Joe's behavior would be perceived entirely differently were she a man: Vol. I's train games with BFF B (Sophie Kennedy Clark) and home invasion by a bitterly jealous spouse (Uma Thurman) would have fallen flat if Joe's chromosomal makeup offered so-called "reason" for aggression and infidelity.
Unabashedly demanding her sexual rights as a woman, Joe serves as a lightning rod for wounded souls in a largely puritanical world. Given his self-professed asexual nature and thus "unique" insight into Joe's story, Seligman declares his superior fitness to judge her goodness. But this is von Trier land. Yet another chance encounter with Jerome tells of the violent prelude to Seligman discovering her in the alley. The resounding, pitch-black ending renders a film marketed as a (black-and-) blue movie into a horse of a different color; and in doing so, it unmasks all its characters' true natures and the commonplace tedium of evil.

Protesters Greet Charlie Crist With Flip Flops On Their Posters
Former Republican governor Charlie Crist was greeted by protesters at Books and Books in Miami Beach, where Crist was to sign copies of his new autobiography, "The Party's Over."
Apparently, the criticism he faces after switching political parties is just getting started.
Protesters waved signs bearing glued-on flip flops, a criticism of his move from the Republican to the Democratic party. Lenny Curry is the Chairman of the Republican Party of Florida. He says Crist supporters need to realize why he left the party in the first place. "When Charlie was governor and Florida most needed leadership, when we were bleeding jobs, and we needed someone who just cared about the citizens of the state, he ran away from the state," Curry says. "[Crist] tried to run for the U.S. Senate as a very conservative Republican and he lost. He is trying to reinvent himself as a democrat." Crist supporters were not in short supply either. Jose Archila stood in line to get his copy of Crist's book signed. He says he admires the former governor for switching parties. "He was able to change his views, and not just be a mindless person who just follows the views of his party," Archila says.
Crist says he is ready for the challenges that await him in his second run for governor of Florida. He says he switched to the Democratic party because of Republican changes.
"What moved was not me," Crist says. "What moved was the leadership of the Republican Party. They went so far to the right that Jeb Bush himself even says the party is perceived as being anti-women, anti-minority, anti-gay couples, anti-immigration, anti-education, anti-everything you can think of." Crist will continue his book tour through South Florida this week with stops in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale.

Is Something Amiss in the Obama Household?
Here is a photo taken yesterday of Barack Obama giving Vicky Kennedy, wife of the late Senator Edward Kennedy, a warm, heart-felt hug at the dedication of the Edward M. Kennedy Institute yesterday. But where is his wedding ring?
On March 12 the first couple took separate planes to Burbank where each appeared in a show: he on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, she on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
Michelle looked radiant cavorting with Ellen.
Barack and Jimmy were clearly yucking it up and having a high old time. In these photos, Barack does not look detached and Michelle does not look angry; this is a departure from their usual mien.
