Sew much more: listen to all of our Elm Creek Quilts titles.
©2000 Jennifer Chiaverini; (P)2008 Recorded Books
"Highly recommended." (Liibrary Journal)
Daily Dog Walker and LONG Silicon Valley commutes, so I gulp through and love lotsa books, especially literary fiction and Mystery.
"Climb Under The Quilt"
I picked this title up because I'd read one of these "Quilting friends" books before and enjoyed it far more than I'd expected to given that I have no real interest in quilting and I'm not usually a big fan of this type of women's fiction. But after reading a few disturbing novels -- "A Thousand Splendid Suns" and a grisly mystery or too I wanted something warm and comforting that didn't depress me -- and as I suspected this book, as with the previous book I'd read in the series, fits the bill nicely. If you like Maeve Binchy, this author is of like mind and spirit. She writes well, many of her observations are trenchant rather than trite, and if the book pulls together in predictable fashion it's okay- this is the kind of book where the reader wants exactly that. I wanted it, and I got it and so was the perfect read at the time.
I give it three stars because yeah, at the end of the day it's predictable and formulaic, but if you want entertaining, well-wrought characters that you can relate to and like, and a break from more disturbing material...climb under the quilt!
"I know these women in my own life"
I live to sew and sew to live. I love being able to listen to these wonderful stories of women lives, friendships and challenges while I'm sewing. You really don't need to know how to sew or quilt to appreciate thesae stories. I have also listened while driving and not wanted to get out of the car after an entire day of driving.
Retired CFO, Army wife, Mom of five, Grandma of six, two sons who served in combat, love to read books that reflect my values and faith, love mysteries, historical, military stories, and books that don't waste my time . . . if it doesn't have an ending that was worth the wait, I'm not a happy camper.
"Warm and Healing, Like Grandma's House"
This is the second in the Elm Creek Quilts series, and I finished it in a day and a half. The women in the quilting circle with their real life problems, as well as the aging Sylvia, accept and love one another in spite of all their short comings, and sometimes, I think BECAUSE of them. The women and the quilt camp guests who come to Elm Creek aren't exempt from any of life's pain, and hearing their stories will bring you comfort. They will become your friends, too. You won't always understand why a person behaves the way she does . . . just like in real life . . . but you learn that you don't always have to know everything to accept . . . and eventually just love them.
I listen to and have recently started to write reviews. I've found the reviews have helped me to select books.
"Wonderful Story - Friends Helping Friends"
What I liked best about Round Robin was how Jennifer Chiaverini was able to create a sense of well being, where there had been an overload of discord.
My favorite character was Sara because her difficulties in life continued to pile one on top of the other. She could not see any way that she could overcome the heavy load that her mind carried. Her depression was helped through the efforts of all those who worked for or lived with Sylvia. Friendship and love would bring her back if she would listen and rise to the challenge.
Sylvia was my favorite character as performed by Christina Moore. Sylvia had to express varied emotions throughout the book and the narration made for a good listen.
The Circle of Friendship
The Round Robin was worth the listen. I enjoyed the story and how it flowed. The book didn't hit a snag where too much time was spent on any single aspect of the story. The story was also concerned with every day life as you and I know it. People worked together, would get upset and there was always the one who would never be able to keep a secret. Kindness was woven through the threads of this story and it was very well done. Quilting is the way of taking many different pieces of cloth and sewing them together to equal the whole. People are the same, we need all different kinds of people who are somewhat alike and also different. People can unite as a whole and find a semblance of order, that is challenged at times and issues worked through with the help of others, whereby peace can be restored. Like a quilt, sometimes threads have to be removed and put back together to make it right. The narrator was excellent. She made the listen a pleasant one. I like the character's in the series as they continue to develop into unique people, each with a different personality. The description of the small town and the manor is well done. I'll purchase the third book in the series. I've found it nice to sit back, put my feet up, and read a book that floats gently instead of roaring loudly. The next book I read will be filled with action and suspense. But at times I need to relax and this book made that possible.
"I loved it!"
I had a stroke two years ago and could totally relate to Sylvia's stroke. I Love the humanity, the struggle of the characters with themselves, the history and the love - not to mention the quilting.
Like to listen to historical novels, stories with character development and good moral/life lessons.
"Loved getting to know some of the characters"
The different voices for the different characters.
They all had interesting back stories.
Good story for the Elm Creek retreats. Makes me want to go to one.
"I hated to leave the characters when at book's end"
I love the stories of each of the women and the issues in their lives they had to overcome.
Sylvia because in each book she gets warmer and her strong exterior falls away a bit more.
"good story"
I have read several of the elm creek novels and this was was very good.
I enjoyed hearing about each of the quilters lives and how they are handling evething
this was a very nice listen

One of the most frustrating problems in the development of a qPCR assay is complications due to off-target amplicon formation. Undesired amplicon formation can happen from extension when one or more primers anneal to each other (forming primer dimers) or when primers anneal to undesired regions of the template with lesser complementarity (forming mispriming products). Off-target amplicon formation can significantly affect PCR performance by reducing PCR efficiency and by increasing the propensity for false-positive and false-negative results.
TriLink BioTechnologies has developed a strategy for chemically protecting the 3´ end of the dNTP. In her presentation at the meeting, senior staff scientist Natasha Paul, Ph.D., described this method including a proof-of-principle experiment. TriLink's new hot-start PCR makes use of a tetrahydrofuranyl protecting group on the 3´ end of the dNTP. The use of 3´-protected dNTPs blocks the primer from being extended in the 3´ direction, with the protecting group coming off at the elevated temperatures of PCR. Thus, nonspecific amplification is prevented during the set-up stages, but PCR proceeds normally once the temperature is raised to 95ºC.
In a proof-of-concept experiment, Dr. Paul verified this mechanism by showing that 3´-THF dNTPs were not incorporated by DNA polymerase prior to hot-start activation. Furthermore, the utility of 3´-THF dNTPs was verified for a number of different targets and in real-time PCR, where amplicon detection was linear from five to 5,000 copies. "This technology provides a way to block any DNA polymerase of interest from being active until your PCR begins," Dr. Paul said. "The introduction of these dNTPs into your reaction set-up will allow for conversion of your polymerase of choice into a hot-start polymerase."
qPCR methods excel at detecting small amounts of nucleic acids, but by its nature the technique is vulnerable to contamination and amplification bias. Particularly when using complex samples such as clinical blood samples, there is a risk that contamination will introduce an amplification bias or that the wrong template entirely will be amplified.
Reginald Beer, Ph.D., a principal investigator at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), presented his work on monodisperse picoliter PCR. LLNL studies viral and bacterial pathogens that threaten the population and food supply. "Viruses mutate quickly, constantly probing the immune defenses," said Dr. Beer. "It's hard to find causes of agents in new pandemics. When people first present sick, it's hard for people in public health organizations to know what they're sick with." The goal is to reduce the time to treatment in a disease outbreak by optimizing diagnostic methods using qPCR. To this end, LLNL has harnessed microfluidic technologies to create chip qPCR.
Running qPCR in sample volumes of 10 picoliters not only reduces sample volumes and reagent volumes, it isolates the nucleic acids in the droplets and reduces PCR amplification bias. Standard or bulk PCR works quite well for oligonucleotides at high concentrations, but not so well when the concentration of target DNA or RNA is low and the background is complex.
A 10 picoliter droplet is 1,000,000 times smaller than a standard PCR sample volume. Poisson statistics predicts that this droplet will only contain one copy of viral DNA (or none) at typical concentrations, Dr. Beer said. That means that there is only one possible template in each reaction. Not every droplet will amplify, because not every droplet will contain DNA.
In their first publication, using qPCR with vaccinia, Dr. Beer and his team were able to come within 6% of the actual titer of the sample on the bench qPCR system. "Generally, when you talk to people in the field they are happy to get 40%," he explained.
Policy proposals to address the growing global problem of fake medicines include a global agreement, similar to the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, and stricter national laws to prosecute those who knowingly sell counterfeit medicines. Do you think these steps will be successful?

Pennsylvania DEP, Game Commission Band Peregrine Falcon Hatchling
HARRISBURG, Pa., May 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Department of Environmental Protection and Game Commission today hosted a Peregrine falcon banding event to help students learn about efforts to restore the species.
"Public interest in the resurgence of Peregrine falcons continues to grow," DEP Secretary Mike Krancer said. "With a coded identification band, wildlife officials and enthusiasts everywhere will be able to use our website to monitor the falcon's activities and development."
From the 1940s to the early 1970s, widespread use of pesticides such as the now-banned DDT caused a steep decline in Peregrine falcon populations. Although the predatory bird is no longer a federally designated endangered species, it remains on the state wildlife commission's endangered species list.
Since 1997, various Peregrine falcons have nested at the Rachel Carson State Office Building in Harrisburg, where DEP is headquartered. A younger female came to roost in 2010 and laid her first clutch of eggs earlier this year.
Today, biologists retrieved the hatchling, the only one to hatch from this year's clutch of eggs, from a nest on a ledge outside the 15th floor. More than 150 students and teachers from Harrisburg-area schools watched the placement of the identification bands on the young falcon's legs.
Following the banding, a representative from the ZOOAMERICA: North American Wildlife Park discussed falcons' adaptive abilities.
A replay of the event can be viewed online at www.depweb.state.pa.us; select the Falcon Cam button. The video shows the banding of the fledgling and demonstrates how biologists use alphanumeric bands to study Peregrine falcons as they migrate, pair with other Peregrines and set up breeding territories.
Fans are also encouraged to follow the Peregrines this year through Twitter at www.twitter.com/FalconChatter.

Max Payne is a 2008 American neo-noir action film loosely based on the video game series of the same name developed by Remedy Entertainment (Rockstar Studios for the third game) and published by Rockstar Games. It was written by Beau Thorne and directed by John Moore. The film stars Mark Wahlberg in the title role as Max Payne, Mila Kunis as Mona Sax, Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges as Jim Bravura, and Beau Bridges as BB Hensley. The film revolves around revenge, centering on a policeman's journey through New York City's criminal underworld, as he investigates the deaths of his wife and child.
Filming took place between March and May 2008. Extensive visual effects were used in many scenes throughout the film. Max Payne was released on October 16, 2008 in Australia,[3] one day prior to the United States release date.[4] Reviews in the U.S. were mostly negative for the lack of character development and originality among numerous differences from the video game on which it is based.[citation needed] Despite the negative reviews, the film was able to take the top spot in the box office in its opening weekend and gross more than $85 million worldwide. Max Payne was released for home video on January 20, 2009.[citation needed]
Detective Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is a three-year veteran in the Cold Case Unit of the New York City Police Department (NYPD). He is consumed with investigating and finding the murderer of his wife Michelle and their infant child Rose. Max's snitch, Trevor, supplies information that leads Max to three drug addicts in an empty train station. They attempt to rob Max in a bathroom; instead, Max interrogates one of them about his family's murder, with no results. While one of the drug addicts runs away he is attacked by shadowy, winged man-creatures and is hit by a train. At Trevor's apartment, Max meets Natasha Sax (Olga Kurylenko), who gets into an argument with her sister, Mona (Mila Kunis). When Natasha storms off, Max searches for her in the back where partiers are using the drug "Valkyr". Max is silently confronted by Jack Lupino (Amaury Nolasco), but Natasha takes Max back to the party. Max notices Natasha's tattoos and wants information about them, so he invites her back to his apartment. However, when Natasha tries to seduce Max, she makes insensitive comments about his wife, and Max kicks her out. Natasha leaves through an alley, and is attacked by the winged shadow creatures.
The next morning Natasha is found dead, and Max's wallet is discovered at the crime scene. Max becomes the prime suspect in the case, with his old partner, Alex Balder (Donal Logue), taking part in the investigation. Alex notices the tattoo on Natasha's arm is similar to one found in the case file of Max's wife. Alex tries to contact Max, but getting no response, he quickly leaves for Max's apartment. When Max arrives home, he finds the door ajar and his place a mess. Alex lies dead inside, and as Max investigates, he is knocked unconscious from behind.
Max wakes up in a hospital with his trusted friend BB Hensley (Beau Bridges), his father's former partner in the NYPD, at his bedside. Hensley is now head of security of the pharmaceutical company Aesir Corporation. Max leaves the hospital early to pay his respects to Alex, but is kicked out by Alex's upset wife Christa. While being questioned by Lieutenant Jim Bravura (Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges) of Internal Affairs, Max storms out and searches Alex's desk, finding Owen Green's name in Natasha's case file. Later, Max is confronted by Mona, who assumes Max killed her sister, but Max persuades her to help him find the actual killer. Max and Mona find Green (Joel Gordon) but cannot save him, as Owen was hallucinating and as a result falls out of a building to his death.
Max and Mona visit Natasha's tattoo parlor. The tattoo artist tells them Natasha's tattoo represents the wings of a Valkyrie, which, in Norse mythology, are creatures that decide the fate of warriors in battle. Max then goes to take some of Michelle's belongings out of storage and ends up discovering documents from when she worked at the Aesir Corporation. After taking some of the documents, Max meets BB at a diner and demands the name of Michelle's old supervisor.
Max interrogates the supervisor, Jason Colvin (Chris O'Donnell), in his office at Aesir and learns that Michelle was associated with a military contract to create super-soldiers using the highly addictive drug Valkyr. Only a few subjects showed positive results; the rest saw hallucinations and eventually went insane, so the project was terminated. Jason agrees to testify, as long as Max protects him. When a skeptical Max asks Jason who he is supposed to be protecting him from, Jason answers: "The man that killed your wife!" Max agrees, and starts to escort Jason out of his office, but as they leave, a group of armed NYPD ESU officers appears and kills Jason. Max escapes with the evidence and shows the video to Mona. It explains the Valkyr project; Lupino is a former Marine and his testimony explains that, while taking the drug, Lupino feels invincible, with no side effects (unlike most other test subjects). Max goes to Lupino's hideout, Ragna Rok. While fighting Lupino, Max's defeat appears to be certain until BB arrives and kills Lupino. Max gets knocked unconscious after the brawl as he is leaving the hideout.
BB explains that he is selling Valkyr and admits to killing Michelle because she inadvertently came across incriminating documents. BB plans to drown Max in the river, with a weight secured to his ankle and Valkyr in his pocket, hoping to make it look like a drug-induced suicide. But before he can be tied to the weight, Max escapes by jumping into the icy river. He swims to shore and, to prevent hypothermia, consumes both vials of Valkyr, transforming himself into a super-soldier with visions of Valkyries. Max follows BB back to the Aesir building. Assisted by Mona, he kills many Aesir security employees. Max eventually confronts BB on the building's helipad and kills him. His vengeance complete, he falls to his knees, as the for the first time the sun cuts through the clouds and a SWAT team surrounds him.
"The minute I played the game I saw Mark. I was delighted that he agreed to do it. I was also very nervous because if he'd said "no", I really didn't have a go-to guy. If he'd turned me down, I don't think the project would have happened."
—John Moore, director[5] |
- Mark Wahlberg as Detective Max Payne: An NYPD cop that is out for revenge against his family's killer. When Wahlberg first read the script he thought it was "awesome" but was wary after finding out it was based on a video game.[6] While describing his role, Wahlberg has said, "It's probably one of the edgier roles I've played but also the most layered. Here's a very happy guy who worked a dismal job, had a beautiful family. But the beauty in his life was taken away. He just goes on a rampage. It's all driven by emotion."[7]
- Beau Bridges as B.B. Hensley: Former partner of Max Payne's father, since retired. Bridges had never heard of the game but since his children were excited to learn about his role they convinced him it would be a big movie.[8]
- Chris 'Ludacris' Bridges as Lieutenant Jim Bravura: an internal affairs lieutenant who is investigating Max. The role was originally written for a 60-year-old man but after auditioning, Ludacris got the call from Moore and had the part.
- Mila Kunis as Mona Sax: A Russian assassin who seeks revenge for the murder of her sister. Kunis had played the video game before reading the script but did not progress very far into it.[9] Kunis's favorite part in preparing for the role was weapons training and safety which included disassembling and rebuilding an MP5K blindfolded.[8]

The 2001 video game Max Payne was optioned by the production company Collision Entertainment to produce a live-action film adaptation. By April 2002, distributors Dimension Films and Abandon Entertainment were attached to the project. Shawn Ryan, the creator of the television series The Shield, was hired to write a script for the planned film.[12] By June 2005, without production starting, Collision Entertainment had taken the project to 20th Century Fox.[13] In November 2007, with a script written by Beau Thorne, Fox announced John Moore as the director and Mark Wahlberg as the title star.[14]
Filming began in Toronto on March 2, 2008 and wrapped by May 9, 2008.[15] Shooting the film in 35 mm 3-perf,[16] several different areas around Toronto were used for multiple locations in the movie, including the old Daily Bread food bank building at Bathurst & Lakeshore. It took a full week to shoot just the final gunfight inside the Aesier Headquarters using more than 6,000 squibs.[17]
Upon finding the building for the Aesir Headquarters it took eight weeks in pre-production to build the set and another week for the special effects team to install the squibs.[17] The outside top half of the building was completely made of CG, by Mr.X, giving it a more high tech look. Using Google Earth they were able to find out the building's geometry. No location could be found for a rooftop helipad so a set was built in front of a green screen. Soho VFX attached the helipad to the building and set it atop New York City.[18]
In order to recreate the bullet time used in the games without using a complex camera setup, the technique he used is called "Boom Vision".[18] Moore used Vision Research's Phantom HD digital camera which takes 1,000 fps. When the video is played back, it gives the illusion of slow motion, a method of high speed photography.[19] The technique was used for two action scenes and required the construction of a special rigging that had the camera on a propeller that spun at two revolutions per second. The crew was not allowed near it while it was being used for fear of damaging the camera or getting injured. Soho FX then blended the thousands of shots into the other footage during post production.[18]
A contest was held between visual effects teams to see who could create the best drug induced hallucinations. A reel was shot from actual set locations, it also included footage in front of a green screen with a stand in for Wahlberg. The reel was then sent to ten different teams where Canadian company Spin created the best demo reel. To win Spin changed the falling snow into burning embers over a matte New York skyline painting. During the climactic hallucination scene, the entire room was to be torn apart from the ceiling down around Max. A camera on a track circled Max and Spin later "recreated the ceiling in CG, so it could break away and reveal the Valkyrie world above."[18]
Moore gave the approval on Valkyrie designed by illustrators Chris Roswarne and Rob McCallum. As a point of reference and to limit the use of CG a Valkyrie suit and make up were worn by performer Mako Hindy.[17] Moore "wanted the Valkyries to have a slow motion quality to them, almost as if they were underwater."[18] During the 15 weeks of post-production the Valkyries were further developed by Spin to support this. Using Maya, 3DS Max, and ZBrush they were able to create the Valkyries and have control over their wings. The artists sometimes had full control over each individual feather. They had to overcome the darkness of the film as it made it more difficult to track each object. Spin also handled atmospheric CG and the CG matte backdrops elements.[20]
Though filmed with the intention of receiving a PG-13 rating, Max Payne received an unofficial R rating by the MPAA on September 5, 2008. Moore, angered that the equally dark The Dark Knight received a PG-13 rating when Payne received an R, said "the MPAA changes their rules willy-nilly and it depends on who's seeing your actual movie at the time. It's very difficult to get a hold on what's acceptable."[21]
On September 22, 2008, a trailer confirmed a PG-13 rating, "for violence including intense shooting sequences, drug content, some sexuality, and brief strong language."[22] Director John Moore confirmed in an interview with GameDaily's John Gaudiosi that the film was awarded the PG-13 rating without any major changes being made to the film. Describing the re-editing process Moore stated, "We trimmed some frames more for the sake of trimming frames than anything, but we got the rating without any major changes at all."[23]
The film is rated PG-13 in the United States, a departure from the M-rated video game series. Mila Kunis said of the tone-down, "It's incredibly dark. You still get the gist of it. The only difference between R-rated and PG-13 is you might not see as much blood. You might not see blood squirting everywhere, but as far as the sadness and the darkness of it and the distraught [nature] of these human beings is very much captured in the film."[24] The film was given the 15 rating in the United Kingdom, for "strong violence"[25] and MA 15+ in Australia for "Frequent violence and drug use".[26]
Critical response[edit]
The film has been almost universally panned by critics and fans of the video game, receiving numerous negative reviews, with a 16% rating at Rotten Tomatoes, based on 131 reviews, with the consensus "While it boasts some stylish action, Max Payne suffers severely from an illogical plot and overdirection."[27] Another review aggregator Metacritic gave the film a 31/100 approval rating based on 25 reviews falling under the "generally unfavorable reviews" category.[28] Members thought that Wahlberg's acting was bad enough to be nominated for a Razzie in the category of worst actor for his work in Max Payne and The Happening during the 29th annual awards.[29]
Louise Keller said "the most striking element is the production design..."[30] Bruce Paterson wrote for the Australian Film Critics Association that "Mark Wahlberg is terrific in hard-bitten roles", but in a reference to the Valkyries concluded "it could have done with more of the Norse and less of the force."[31] Critic Armond White has defended the film stating that Moore "explores genuine, contemporary anxiety [and that] his images are richer than his plots."[32]
On IGN, Jim Vejvoda, said: "it also doesn't help that Wahlberg gives a drab performance..." and "the rest of the cast doesn't fare much better." He stated that gamers will be disappointed when comparing it to the game and even as a revenge film there is not much here.[33] Despite this mediocre review, IGN went on to give Max Payne the "Best Videogame Adaptation" award of 2008, noting "this is how sad games-to-film have become that the only one worthy of being named the "best" of the year is a movie that we panned."[34]
One of the harshest critics of the film, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller, one of the game's producers, cited fundamental story flaws "that have me shaking my head in bewilderment,"[35] including the game's opening scenes being instead placed in the middle of the film. After the film's No. 1 opening weekend, however, he retracted his comments, saying that he was now "proud of the film," and that "this kind of opening brings us a lot closer to the reality of a sequel," to the long-stalled video game franchise.[36]
Mark Wahlberg received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor for his performance in the film (also for The Happening), but "lost" against Mike Myers for The Love Guru.
Box office[edit]
Despite negative reviews from critics, Max Payne opened at No. 1 at the box office with $17,639,849 during its first weekend against newcomers Sex Drive, The Secret Life of Bees, and W.[37] The film earned $40,689,393 domestically and $44,727,512 overseas, making a worldwide total of $85,416,905. While it is not considered an overwhelming success, its U.S. gross was around the same range as other video game adaptations such as Hitman, Silent Hill, and Resident Evil. Its international gross was lower than both Silent Hill and Hitman, and it was significantly lower than that of the four live-action Resident Evil films released to date.[38] The film also ranks eleventh in U.S. box-office gross revenues for video game adaptions.[39]
Home media[edit]
The film was released on DVD and Blu-ray on January 20, 2009 and as of August 2009 generated $25,915,457 in DVD sales.[2] All versions contain the theatrical and the uncut versions of the film, and the Blu-ray and the 2-disc DVD contain the "Michelle Payne Animated Graphic Novel" as well as a digital copy of the uncut version of the film. The uncut version features only 3 minutes of additional footage compared to the theatrical release; the most notable difference is the extra CGI blood. Only the Blu-ray release features a D-BOX motion code.[40] It went on to receive a score of 7 out of 10 on IGN, being described as "a first-rate transfer that manages to show off the range of the high-definition format with few, if any, real weaknesses".[41]
Differences from the game[edit]
- For more information, see Max Payne.
The film is loosely based on the video game of the same name developed by Remedy Entertainment in 2001. The number of differences between the game and the film caused the CEO of 3D Realms and producer behind the game, Scott Miller, to make a public statement against the film. Miller did not approve of the fact that the film's audience does not know why Max is seeking revenge. A flashback scene where Max finds his family murdered was right at the beginning of the game, but in the movie it was shown mid-film. He was also surprised that one of the story's main villains, Jack Lupino, is killed by Hensley where in the game, Max finishes the job personally.[42] The end scene was also changed from Max killing Nicole Horne in her helicopter by shooting out the tower's lightning rods' guy wires, causing them fall into her helicopter as it is about to take off, to Max shooting B.B. on top of the helipad, which he had already done earlier in the game at the Choir Communications Garage.[43][44][45] A large segment of the video game featuring a government laboratory (underneath a steel mill) producing the drug was completely absent from the film.
Many people were confused by the addition of the demonic creatures. These creatures seemingly represented Valkyries, though in Norse mythology Valkyries are female warriors and not demonic beings. And though the game makes heavy references to Norse mythology, Valkyries do not actually appear. The film has a much larger element of the supernatural than the game, as it is never revealed in the film if they are part of the hallucinations.[46] Max takes the drug in the film to prevent the onset of hypothermia; however, in the game, he was forced to take it by Nicole Horne and left for dead.[47]

Beltrami made use of a detuned piano with violins, violas, and cellos. Cullen from SciFiPulse thought the score was dark and haunting, hoping the movie would live up to the soundtrack. He rated the album an eight out of ten, saying "the detuned piano really adds that sense of depth to the proceedings and makes every single track on the CD stand out."[48] The song featured in the trailer is "If I Was Your Vampire" by Marilyn Manson.

On the eve of their last semester at Holy Cross, members of the Class of 2013 reconnected and reflected at Senior Convocation, Jan. 21, in St. Joseph Memorial Chapel. The annual event features speeches, poetry and music that encourage students to think about the last three and a half years at Holy Cross and consider how best to use their final semester to shape the life they want to lead.
After a welcome by Martin Connors '13, Senior Convocation scholar Kelsey Russell '13 addressed her classmates. She described the restrictions of the "all-important resume" for Holy Cross students by a story of her time spent at Abby's House, a woman's shelter in Worcester and a Student Programs for Urban Development site for student volunteers, and how these moments, like many other experiences shared at Holy Cross, cannot be conveyed through a bullet-pointed resume. Her essay follows this feature. .
Kara Donovan '13 read a poem titled "Kindergarten Graduation" recalling her fear of"graduating" without a future.
Nancy Baldiga, dean of the Class of 2013, addressed her class on the ways in which the people in her life have made the biggest impact and similarly, how the class of 2013 can inspire each other in their last semester.
Seniors Kibbs Fortilus, Nicholas Tasca, James Simmons, Paige Wesson and Richard Pellegrini described vivid memories to encapsulate each year of their shared experience at Holy Cross.
Another Senior Convocation scholar, Elizabeth Harkins '13 gave an address that surmised that imperfections and unmet expectations actually lead to new opportunities and paths to success. Her essay will appear in the next issue of Holy Cross Magazine.
Two musical performances were given at the convocation. Seniors Alison Christopher '13 and Suzanne Crifo '13 sang Stephen Schwartz's "For Good" and, later, Katherine-Anne Sipolt Rosenthal '13 performed "Solfeggietto" by Karl Philipp Emanuel Bach on the harp.
Rev. Philip Boroughs, S.J., president of the College, addressed the students, and Chaplains Marty Kelly and Meg Fox-Kelly gave a blessing to close out the ceremony.
By Kelsey Russell '13
Here we are in the middle of our senior year — the year of job applications, letters of recommendations and the all-important resume; that tidy compilation of accomplishments, honors, achievements, and skills; the blueprint of your academic story thus far.
Not too long ago, as I sat working on my resume, pushing out margins and playing with fonts, I suddenly felt how restricting this document is, especially for a Holy Cross student. When most of us spend our days running from classes to meetings to office hours to practices and rehearsals, how could we ever boil it down to bullet points on a Word document? But alas, as we apply for our first jobs, to graduate schools and programs abroad, we must condense, summarize and trim the edges of our stories.
But as we embark upon our final semester at our home away from home, I take comfort in the fact that tucked between the lines of our well-polished resumes, are the memories, experiences, and lessons we have discovered on and around Mount St. James.
On paper, a resume says Major (colon): chemistry, political science, theater, econ, history, math, biology, English, music and so on. But we know there's more to that story. Woven into that single word, are memories of your first lab, or that time you had IR with Professor Cass; your first Shakespeare anthology, all 1500 pages of it; of that time you moved into the math lounge before a test only to find the rest of your class did too! These are not just words; they are your first pair of those styling lab goggles; they are the first time you met Professor, or Ed, Isser; they are that time you finally got the highest pure product yield.
On paper, a resume says, GPA: 3.5, 3.2, 3.7, or like most of us 4.0. But in the spaces between those numbers are memories of all nighters — remember the days before Dinand went 24-5? Gosh, how did we even survive? Yes, in those spaces are cup after cup after cup coffee, or chai's, whichever you prefer; squeezed in that little space on your resume is that moment you realized A's at Holy Cross were harder to find then Katherine McKenna.
On paper, a resume lists your activities: club hockey player; member of the Purple Key Society; CASA chair; SPUD director; Moot Court competitor; Public Affairs intern; singer in the College Choir; lector, communion minister, greeter; pitcher for the men's baseball team; Big Brother, Big Sister; lab TA; tutor in the Writer's Workshop. But within this text are a host of stories, recollections and life lessons.
For me, one particular story comes to mind. Reviewing my resume, an employer will see that I was an overnight volunteer at Abby's House, a shelter for battered women and children, and can get a sense of some of the responsibilities this entails. But when I type the words Abby's House volunteer, they stare back at me. I stop, cursor blinking, screen dimming, and I am reminded of Francis, a 19-year-old woman who I met on my first overnight. She came home to the shelter around 11 p.m., exhausted and hungry after a long day of school and a long night at work. A cashier at a Wal-Mart near her school, Francis walked five miles home from work every night; she could not afford the fare for public transit. I sat in the dining room as she ate her dinner and we started talking about our favorite foods. She said she missed the Haitian food her aunt used to make on holidays. I told her I really missed baking with my mom and sisters. We talked for over an hour and went to bed around 1. About a week later I returned for my second overnight stay and right on schedule, Francis walked in around 11. When she saw me, she smiled and she went right to the kitchen. "I have a surprise," she told me, rummaging through the cabinet. She pulled out that signature red box, Betty Crocker brownie mix. That was one of the kindest gifts I have ever received.
But stories like these don't belong on a resume. They are the unspoken qualifications of the Holy Cross student — the Jesuit mission. Over the course of our final semester at our beloved school, I challenge you to read between the lines of your impressive list of accomplishments and to live beyond the margins.

Wilco / Guided By Voices
"Wilco never makes the second record twice, which makes it doubly remarkable that so many of them are tremendous. As formidable as frontman Jeff Tweedy's catalog is, the sonically inventive rock band really stands out on stage -- the place where extreme technical skill meets the chemistry and rousing showmanship of passionate rock veterans. Of course, it helps that the group has the luxury of drawing highlights from seven very different records when it performs. To see Wilco on stage is to hear the best of the best."Listen to Wilco's entire 2-hour Memorial Day Sasquatch set at NPR (listen to GbV's there too). Wilco's entire setlist is listed below.
And with this post, our 2011 Sasquatch basically concludes. Previous posts contain The Decembersts, Noah and the Whale, Rebecca Gates, Day 3 pictures, Archers of Loaf, Day 2 pictures, and more Day 2 pics with Day 1 too. The rest of the pictures from Day 4, below...

It is a good setlist, though I'm kinda surprised there were no new songs on it. Isn't the new album in the can?

9:24, Wilco seems to recognize that their best stuff is behind them. The fans want to hear YHF, so they favor it live.
Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2011 10:01 AM
9:24 so true!
But I have to say, that as someone who has seen them when they toured that LP (even before it was released) and since, it's basically the same show now over and over. For longtime fans- it gets kinda stale after the 4th or 5th time around. Some new tunes would have been exciting, just for the sake of mixing it up.
Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2011 10:25 AM
Ha, for years I wrote Wilco off because I thought they were one of those "emperor's new clothes" bands that were overhyped like hell.
I actually just got into them, and have liked what I heard. I can chill out to this during the summer.
Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2011 10:41 AM
@10:25, I bet the Solid Sound shows will be different and they'll save the new stuff for then. And last year's "Evening With" shows on the East Coast had a few surprises in them. I certainly wouldn't call them "the same show over and over."

no way...not stale...
and why is that creepy clown judging me now?!

Nels Cline is the reason why Wilco's game has been stepped up. Plain and simple. Cline is God.

God forbid someone doesn't like Wilco live right, 11:19? I think you're probably letting dissenting opinions rub you the wrong way a little too much.
Yeah, I know I'm not too fond of them live either. But I still think their studio albums are great.
Posted by Anonymous | June 2, 2011 12:41 PM
Their studio albums ARE great, but Tweedy has zero stage presence and one show is exactly like the last and exactly like the next. 11:17 is right -- they're boring live. Wilco gets fellated by everybody, so people are afraid to say the emperor has no clothes. Live, these guys are so meh.

I always imagine that the people who write "white people" as a comment feel like they've just said something meaningful.

I like Yow way better than Pollard.
Pollard is just an alcoholic with a decent backing band.

Fairbanks To Denali
Well exciting times having less to pack from Fairbanks with some lite fingered shithead flogging our ipad2, never mind it is only a material item.
When we were at the Nui with the Police we spotted this, to me this a great way not to pack
We stopped at Nenana for lunch and visit o the local museum etc, pretty cool place,
Wifi wasn't runnin real quick so we took a quick look ...
We arrived safe and sound at Denali National Park and set up camp at Riley Park Camp which has great facilities and a nice location.
We took the 92.6 mile trip by bus as you are only allowed private vehicles so far, we had stunning weather on the way in right to the end then thunderstorms and lightning on the way out so the best of both worlds ... but lightening does not flash backwards here Kiwis ... its just the same as ours except bigger.
Mt Denali standing at 20327 ft still played hard to get as it creates its own weather system due to its shear size, amazing that it has such an effect on surrounding areas.
Mount Denali is hidden under there somewhere
Wonder lake with approaching thunderstorm
Arty stuff
This did not stop the grizzlies, Caribou and various assortments from putting on a show tho, Two Photo Kiwis took advantage of this and we hope you enjoy these from the safety of your arm chair. (not that it was that bad for us either to be honest).
Moose with decent set of trees on top

Fetus Has More Than 260 Facebook Friends
Filed under: In The News
Using paper announcements and photo albums to document a birth are so 2010. To spread the word of their pregnancy, Ellie and Matt Greene started a Facebook profile for their unborn baby, Marriah.
The Texas couple sent friend requests and the fetus had more than 100 friends in just one day. To date, her friends number 260.
The mom-to-be updates the page from the point of view of Marriah and people respond directly to her, especially when she tells friends she is kicking Mommy. "Oh, do somersaults this way," one friend suggests.
Marriah's parents have gotten creative, adding that Marriah attends Tummy University.
The page is not just for entertainment and laughs, however.
"We wanted to keep the page going, so she could go back and look at it," Ellie Greene tells KLTV, adding that she and her husband will continue to update the page to share her birth story.

Liz said...I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online auctions. Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites. The site that has the biggest selection and the best deals is hTtp://bit.ly/BiggestDeals and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legit. How they can sell gift cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Loews gift cards for $48. Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?
Louise said...I'd like to explore why social networking in general has touched a collective nerve. Do sites like Facebook stand as viable communities, and are the people on your home page "real friends?" Many of you say no. It's the brick and mortar, sit-face-to-face-and-talk that counts. Some expressed feeling leery of all the myriad new drains on time and energy with texting, tweeting, facebooking and so on. They lament the discourtesy of people constantly texting while out to dinner, or using twitter to reply to Facebook to send you an email to ask a simple question. They fear we are losing ourselves.
Yet, this prism has many sides. Plenty out there believe these sites are solid and viable resources for maintaining connections, and the wave of the future. Some of you spoke of how you enjoy the broad networks you can manage easily, as well as nostalgic components of finding old friends and delighting in renewed connections. One of our readers said she joined Facebook, met old elementary school friends she had lost touch with, and was making plans for a reunion in New York City.
"But do you really consider these relative strangers to be your 'friends?"' I asked her.
"Yes," she replied, "because they have a piece of my history that almost none of my existing friends have. It is really feels almost like finding a long lost relative."
So, what gives? When something hits a nerve, clearly there are unresolved emotions, the boundaries of a comfort zone is being tapped, or we are being asked to make a paradigm shift

RIDICULOUS said...This is the most ridiculous thing I have EVER heard! Come on people...there is an entire world that does not exist on the internet, myspace, facebook, twittwr or any of the rest of this temporary needless bull that is out there! Seriously...way to start out early with the really bad parenting and needless harmful exposure of your child to the internet!!! WAY TO GO!!!

Hence, why the incorrect phrase: "their pregnancy" when in fact ONLY the woman has that status of pregnancy?

Jamie said...Why call social services?? That is why we have so many problems with actual child abuse being overlooked. In your opinion it is not a good thing and so on and that's okay, but this is a unborn child, and I don't see any abuse as far as I am concerned. The only thing I see is abuse of the system!!!

Sabrina said...Oddly enough, one of my moms friends did the same thing except for her cat LOL and she came up with a lot of funny stuff. to put in the info section. and the cat was friends with mighty mouse etc it was slightly disturbing but cute at the same time
Bev said...It fascinates me that people think the whole world needs to know every move they make, every place they go etc. This makes no sense to me.
Dave said...You're right Bev. This has to be one of the most singular examples of self-aggrandizing self-importance I have ever encountered.
These two are far beyond regrettable and forgettable. This is one apple I hope falls far, far from the tree.
bobinski said...I find it highly ironic when "journalist" refer to not yet born babies as a "fetus" until a pregnant women is killed "along with their unborn child".

Plan B One-Step
Prescribe Morning-After Pill to Teens in Advance? »

Plan B One-Step
Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) was studied in a randomized, double-blinded multicenter clinical trial. In this study, all women who had received at least one dose of study medication were included in the safety analysis: 1,379 women in the Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) group, and 1,377 women in the Plan B group (2 doses of 0.75 mg levonorgestrel taken 12 hours apart). The mean age of women given Plan B One-Step was 27 years. The racial demographic of those enrolled was 54% Chinese, 12% Other Asian or Black, and 34% were Caucasian in each treatment group. 1.6% of women in the Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) group and 1.4% in Plan B group were lost to follow-up.
The most common adverse events ( > 10%) in the clinical trial for women receiving Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) included heavier menstrual bleeding (30.9%), nausea (13.7%), lower abdominal pain (13.3%), fatigue (13.3%), and headache (10.3%). Table 1 lists those adverse events that were reported in > 4% of Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) users.
Table 1 : Adverse Events in > 4% of Women, by % Frequency
Most Common Adverse Events (MedDRA) | Plan B One-Step N = 1359 (%) |
Heavier menstrual bleeding | 30.9 |
Nausea | 13.7 |
Lower abdominal pain | 13.3 |
Fatigue | 13.3 |
Headache | 10.3 |
Dizziness | 9.6 |
Breast tenderness | 8.2 |
Delay of menses ( > 7 days) | 4.5 |
Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of Plan B (2 doses of 0.75 mg levonorgestrel taken 12 hours apart). Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.

Abdominal Pain, Nausea, Vomiting
General Disorders and Administration Site Conditions
Nervous System Disorders
Dizziness, Headache
Reproductive System and Breast Disorders
Dysmenorrhea, Irregular Menstruation, Oligomenorrhea, Pelvic Pain
Read the Plan B One-Step (levonorgestrel tablet) Side Effects Center for a complete guide to possible side effects
Drugs or herbal products that induce enzymes, including CYP3A4, that metabolize progestins may decrease the plasma concentrations of progestins, and may decrease the effectiveness of progestin-only pills. Some drugs or herbal products that may decrease the effectiveness of progestin-only pills include:
- barbiturates
- bosentan
- carbamazepine
- felbamate
- griseofulvin
- oxcarbazepine
- phenytoin
- rifampin
- St. John's wort
- topiramate
Significant changes (increase or decrease) in the plasma levels of the progestin have been noted in some cases of co-administration with HIV protease inhibitors or with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.

The visitors started the match on the back of five wins in six games but struggling Aldershot shocked them when they took a third-minute lead, Paul McCallum slotting home. The visitors equalised a minute before half-time through Robbie Weir and then went ahead midway through the second half via Michael Symes' shot into the top left-hand corner.
Victory was enough to see them leapfrog Port Vale and go within five points of leaders Gillingham who drew 0-0 at seventh-placed Exeter. Meanwhile, Port Vale went down to a surprise 2-0 reverse at Bristol Rovers.
Ryan Brunt headed Rovers ahead when he nodded Oliver Norburn's cross down into the net in the seventh minute. He then got his second seven minutes before half-time when he volleyed home.
Kelvin Langmead scored with a minute to go as Northampton drew 1-1 at Morecambe. Northampton started the game just a point outside the top three but it was the hosts who went ahead through Jack Redshaw on 57 minutes before Langmead's late intervention.
Rotherham moved up one place to fifth despite conceding a late goal in a 2-2 draw at Wycombe. The Chairboys went ahead, Joel Grant firing high into the net from close range after just six minutes, but Daniel Nardiello scored twice to put the Millers ahead before Gary Doherty headed home from close range to level.
Fleetwood are five points off the play-offs in eighth after a Jon Parkin hat-trick guided them to a 3-0 win at Accrington who dropped to bottom of the Football League. Michael Raynes scored in the fifth minute of injury time to give Oxford a 1-0 win over Barnet to move up to ninth, one ahead of Southend who lost 3-1 at home to AFC Wimbledon.
Sean Clohessy fired home a spot-kick for the Shrimpers in the 29th minute, a lead that lasted only three minutes when Pim Balkestein headed home. And Wimbledon turned the game on its head shortly after the resumption through Jack Mifsud's bullet header as Luke Moore got a third less than two minutes after coming on as a substitute.
Ten-man Torquay rescued a brave 2-2 draw at Dagenham & Redbridge in their battle against relegation. With just two minutes gone Aaron Downes' challenge on Abu Ogogo in the area saw the hosts awarded a penalty and Torquay reduced to 10 men.
Medy Elito fired the spot-kick high into the net but Joss Labadie levelled with 20 minutes left. Josh Scott restored Dagenham's lead five minutes from time but the Gulls fought back to claim a draw with a Rene Howe penalty in the 88th minute. York against Rochdale and Plymouth's game with Bradford both ended goalless.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 (Lumix DMC-TZ30)
Announced Jan 31, 2012
14 megapixels | 3″ screen | 24 – 480 mm (20×)
Ask a question in forums about the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20 (Lumix DMC-TZ30).
Ask a new question
I'm using the Panasonic TZ30 (ZS20) for several years now and I thought to buy a new camera before my big holiday to Africa this summer.
I don't want to have a big camera but a compact one with a big zoom range so I can also catch animals during a safari.
I've read a few reviews about the new TZ70 (ZS50). I'm wondering if this camera would be a great improvement to my current camera? What do you think? Is the image quality better in the new model or is it worse because of the wider...
Will be going to an evening soccer game tonight. Advise about best settings to take stadium shots, players in action etc. will be appreciated?
Will be taking my TZ30, shots will be handheld.
I have a Panasonic Lumix ZS20 camera.
I use 2 64GB SanDisk Extreme Class 10 SDXC MicroSD cards (with adaptor) to capture my pictures and videos.
I recently purchased a Lenovo Yoga 10 HD+ Android tablet.
I bought this tablet so I can view my pictures while travelling and unload the MicroSD cards onto a portable HDD. The tablet has a MicroSD slot which requires FAT32 format (same as the Lumix ZS20).
I expected that I would be able to move a MicroSD card from the camera to the tablet and review...
I bought an used camera - Lumix DMC-ZS19 and I am not sure how to do this operation. How do I focus the subject (in my case - a bird) during recording? When I start with 1x zoom and start recording the video and then zooming onto the bird - the focus goes out.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Dear camera enthusiasts,
I have been searching for a camera with the following properties (listed in order "higher priority first"):
1. Good image quality in low light conditions, mostly indoor shots of (possibly moving) kids and people. I understand that this is a tough requirement and requires a big sensor and large aperture, and hence it's not going to be cheap.
2. Not too bulky and can be carried under the belt, so that I can take it out, take a shot and put it back quickly and forget...
what are some of your opinions on the better one. love all the features in both,which one has the better IQ and ill also use it alot for videos and vlogging
i need help choosing one of these cameras
what are some of your opinions on the better one. love all the features in both,which one has the better IQ and ill also use it alot for videos and vlogging
We are going on a trip to Thailand and then to Angkor Wat.
I shall be having the TZ30(ZS20) with me.
What would be the best settings to use for
1) As default for daily use.
2) Inside shrines/monuments
3) For sunrise / sunset at Angkor Wat and other places
4) To capture street nightlife in Bangkok
If any one has used similar camera ZS/TZ series for such a trip, expert advise would be appreciated.
How do you get pictures off of the TZ30? It's always been a bit of a pain but its keeps getting worse if you don't use the special cord that came with the camera (the one that is also supposed to do the charging as well).
If I take the SD card our & put it into a reader I normally can get to the DCIM folder quite easily. But if I select some picture by the thumbnail being displayed & then select copy & try to do paste onto the desktop or elsewhere I get a message that the pictures can't be...
actually the title says it all :) So, is this possible? My camera has an HDMI slot and another slot labeled 'AV Out/Digital'. Can I use them to record video from an external source (a PC video card, to be specific)?
(The camera is a Panasonic TZ30. )

Montgomery was an all-ACC receiver while playing for Duke from 1996-99, and he was an assistant coach under Cutcliffe and Ted Roof from 2006-09.
He spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
He replaces Ron Middleton, who left last week for a spot on the Jacksonville Jaguars' staff.

Hrm... I'd understand it the other way around: it should be virtual so that the correct (of the derived class) destructor is called when the object is destroyed by the framework (probably a call via a pointer to a base class).

EON May Notify Suitors for Unit Sale, Platow Says
March 30 (Bloomberg) -- EON AG may give feedback next week to bidders for its energy-from-waste unit on their offers, which valued the business at as much as 2 billion euros ($2.7 billion), Platow Brief reported, without citing anyone.
MVV Energie AG has teamed up with EQT Partners AB to bid, in competition with Morgan Stanley's infrastructure fund and GP Guenter Papenburg AG, the German newsletter said. Remondis AG has established a joint venture with German municipalities to counter potential antitrust concerns over its possible purchase of the unit of Dusseldorf-based EON, Platow reported.

Yet another five-scene assortment of Euro-sex, heavy on the anal, light on the dialogue. This volume features seasoned porn studs Choky Ice and Claudio Meloni spearhead a bevy of girls into variety of sweaty, nasty activities.
The box cover depicted Kelly being happily d.p.'d by Choky and a banana, but this action to have been omitted in the final cut. However, Jackie and Chokey do a strong scene regardless.
Some boxcover cast listing mistakes are evident (where is Nick Lang?), but the sex is well done, and the behind the scenes featurette is humorous, especially a scene in which the director goofily dances for the camera.

STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN -- (Marketwire) -- 11/20/12 -- Radical.FM, the brainchild of internet radio pioneer Thomas McAlevey, today announced the Swedish launch of the most comprehensive music delivery service in the world. Radical.FM combines a full-featured personal broadcasting service (TALK and RadCasting) with curated radio (like Pandora), on-demand playlists (like Spotify) and a powerful distribution channel for indie artists. The full service, including unlimited on-demand streaming with IFPI licensed music from all major recording labels is now live, free and ad-free to all users in Sweden. Radical.FM is also available worldwide with indie content, RadCasting, and TALK -- but without label music. Major label music will be added to the global service in the coming months.
"Radical.FM is the first online music service to offer the human commentary previously found only on terrestrial radio stations," said Thomas McAlevey, CEO and founder of Radical.FM and a pioneer of online radio since creating Tomsradio.com in 1999. "Radical.FM combines the best of today's cutting-edge digital services with the advantages of traditional broadcast radio. We're bringing FM radio into the digital age by providing a platform for professionals and amateurs alike to create their own radio stations and broadcast them to an unlimited audience."
Radical.FM also provides artists the ability to upload and broadcast their independently created material worldwide and complement their transmissions with live voice and video feed. These independent radio transmissions are known as RadCasts, with Radical.FM providing every user a broadcast radio station with legal content. This unique feature addresses a significant limitation of the current online radio market, and catapults 'old-fashioned' radio into the digital age, making Radical.FM the most important new player in the online music industry.
"Radical.FM will change the way online radio is used and perceived," said Christian Landgren, CTO of Radical.FM. "Artists, bands and music enthusiasts alike all get a chance to create a radio station of their very own at no cost. We've built an innovative, highly-customizable listening and broadcasting platform that opens up a new social channel and provides means by which users can express themselves."
Radical.FM also supports independent artists in their quest for monetization and discovery. Independent artists worldwide can claim their own radio station and begin broadcasting immediately to Radical.FM users around the world.
