Being a kicker is fickle position.
If they make a game-winning field goal, they are the hero. If they miss one, suddenly, they are the loneliest man on the team.
As the kicker for Starkville Academy, Jonathon Burton knows both of those emotions and that is exactly what he loves about his role.
"I like all the attention because everybody is watching you in that one moment," Burton said. "It is an awesome feeling once you make the kick. There is also a down side to that because if you mess up, then everybody is like it was the kicker's fault."

Had hip replacement surgery 3 years ago, I still have foot drop, my life has been drastically impacted by this terrible mistake. I haven't heard from him for years. Not a caring doctor.
He is going to jail for millions in tax evasion. How can you trust him as a doctor? He admitted that he lied about his salary and practice.
I not only would use this Doctor again, I would highly recommend him to any of my friends needing joint replacement. The entire staff is very efficient, and knowledgeable. All in all, a very good experience.
Dr. Tripuraneni is amazing. He was very calm and reassuring about my injury and I felt very confident having him operate on me. He even called me at home twice to see how I was doing! I've never had a doctor do that personally.
I agree with the last persons comment i waited at least 30 minutes for him to see him only to find out he was not a good listener and was clearly upset about filling out paperwork for my employer. In my opinion i pay insurance and my provider pays him for his time it should not matter if it includes paperwork.
I had a full knee replacement in October 2011. Dr. Tripturenini is an excellent surgeon with a warm personality and a very skilled doctor. My recovery was quick even though I am 65 and was very inactive before the surgery. Within 4 weeks I was getting along very well. I am most thankful.
Very comfortable with him from the moment we started talking. I jad surgery with him as well and he explained everything to me. Very nice. I would recommend him.
Not a doctor who listens to me. Perhaps this will improve as he gets more years in his profession. Impression of rushed, wants to move on to next patient.

However, I already installed latest xcode 4.0, which does include latest GCC and SDK.
I tried to find out where the 10.4u.sdk is specified, but could not find it in the system environment, program source and setuptools source.
I tried to export

export SDKROOT=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk
but still has no luck.
so anyone has any idea where this is specified in Mac Snow Leopard pls?

The Big Puffy Vest – Yes or No?
I told myself that I looked like a giant marshmallow in big puffy vests.
Apparently, I had never tried the right puffy vest.
The ones that don't make you look like you just blew up like a sumo wrestler.
And they do exist. How did I miss this?
I'm still not completely SOLD on puffy vests, but this one from Old Navy has me pretty close to changing my mind.
There are still some things I don't necessarily "get".
For instance.
If you have on a puffy vest…you can't wear a coat. So the temperature has to be JUST right for this piece to work.
I'm a "universal" kind of chick. Sooooo…. puffy vests don't necessarily fit in the universal category. They are good for when the weather is about 60 degrees. No more or no less.
And that pretty much never happens.
I'm kidding. Sorta.
I've actually worn this vest when it's been way colder and felt fine. It wasn't like I was doing much more than going from my car to the house.
You know what other rule I broke? I wore black with navy. Is that legal?
Ok, so. Do you get into the whole puffy vest trend? Yes or no?

So I was the same way! I kept seeing cute vest outfits on Pinterest and other girls and thought, "meh not my style". BUT THEN I tried the Old Navy puffer vest too and I am in love! I wear mine so much! I hate winter coats b/c they are so bulky and I can't stand wearing one while I'm driving but a vest I can handle. Except this week when it's like -14.
Shannon Dew´s last blog post ..Feeling Funky
I was so afraid of the puffer vest. I saw other people wear it and they looked awesome but, like you, I just didn't believe I could do it. I finally bought one on clearance at the Gap and I wish I had done it sooner. I love it – and you look great in it!
Kelsey Jaderston´s last blog post ..Project: Paint Trim White
I always was leery of how they looked on me but after seeing Shay at Mix and Match Family post about them, I bought one at Gap and have LOVED it the past couple months. It's been my go to piece and wish I had started looking for them a long time ago!
Paige´s last blog post ..Five on Friday
Omgosh it's so cute! I have 2 Hollister ones in bright red and grey. It's definitely a must keep!
Mindy Pineda´s last blog post ..Pinterest Shout Out [PSO] #1: Laundry room inspiration
I've been wanting to try a puffer vest for SO long! I haven't found the right one for the right price yet, I guess. I'll have to check out Old Navy though because they're always reasonable! I understand your delimma though with the temps needing to be almost perfect to wear. I do ADORE your wavy hair and I watched the tutorial, i can't wait to try it myself. I need to purchase one of those curling irons though!
Heather @ From Here to There´s last blog post ..#Itwasthebestnightever
I have this same vest & I love it!!! It's the one I wore in Lake Tahoe for the HGTV Dream Home tour. It's seriously my favorite new clothing item. It looks so good on you!!
Liz Marie @ Liz Marie Blog´s last blog post ..DIY Wood Pallet Clock
I use to not like them , but I love them now. I wear a heavy sweatshirt or sweater and then a scarf and I stay pretty toasty. It looks great on you .
Yes! I'm a fan! It looks great on you too! Where did you get the great red sweater? Loving it as well.
I've always liked them but also thought that they look super puffy. However the one you are wearing looks great…you may have convinced me also.
Sarah @ An Inviting Home´s last blog post .."Why Are We Doing This!?!"
I have one from JCrew I love. I can only deal with flat puffy vests (say what?) so I have a figure and don't look like the pillsbury dough boy (well, girl). Love the one you have on…such a super cute outfit- hope you went somewhere fun in it :-}
Erin´s last blog post ..and life gears up to change again
I like that you chose a neutral that you can pair with so many different tops. This year, I purchased my first "puffer" -red with brown toggles. I wear it about twice a month and MUST wear a coat until I'm in a warm dwelling (Nebraska-brrrr) Love your blog!
I feel the same way, I always feel like a big puff ball and hate wearing them. I actually found one a couple years ago from American Eagle that I LOVE and it doesn't make me feel gigantic. I have a love/hate relationship with them.
I own a North Face puffy vest and I absolutely love it. I am literally cold all the time, so in the winter I will sometimes wear it under my coat and then take my coat off and leave it in the car when we go out to a restaurant or party. I wear it almost every weekend in the spring and fall when I'm out and about or running errands. You look super cute and very non marshmallow in yours btw.
Hey Mandy! A friend of mine recommended your blog to me and I've been loving reading it! Your sons are so adorable! I was also interested in your blog because my husband and I are in the middle of the adoption process and I notice that you are too. I just started a blog about it and I hope you have time to stop by and say hello! PS Love the puffy vest!
Hi Mandy,
I am Saw Your Blog and Like It Was In Sparring To Me So I Thought I Would Ask YOU About What You Thought About Things, What To Do & How You Can Help Me.
Also I Saw The Question And My Answer Is Yes, You Should Wear It, It Looks So Beautiful On You. Some People Say I Am Obsession With Puffer/Puffy Vest But I Am Not Shore About That I Don't Think About Them All The Time so you can't actually Say, so I Am Obsessions With Them But….I Am Going To Ask About Your Mac and Cheese And How You Backed It And The Recipe For It. What Can You Tell Me About Food Because I Read On Your Blog That YOU Talk & Have A Section On Food So I Was wondering What YOu Could Tell me That mite help me or inspire Me. Also I Was Wondering What You Like To Do Like Your Hobbies, Obsessions, Passions, Interest, Are? Can You Explain Tell Me More About? P.S. I Love This And Reading It It's Awesome And Amazing To Me.

idea ti keep warm
- I just moved from SoCal where my Amazon was in a sunroom and gas hot air heat. Now in NEPA and am fearful of power outages in winter. I have one of those inverters, but not sure it can handle an electric load. I picked up a case of those pocket hand warmers at the local Sam's. I figured I will try those in a pinch. Not directly on the bird or it will cook. Perhaps in a glove or other covering. That's my plan anyway...I dont think the leave toxic fumes.

Safe Ways to Keep Parrots Warm During Wi
- I have two Quaker parrots. One is 25 years old and fragile. Jer cage is snuggled in a down blanket so no drafts can get to her. A small circulating oil heater sits below her cage and keeps her toasty warm at night. I plan to purchase a small heated perch for her for traveling. My second Quaker is also covered and warmed by a heater.

using a heating blanket
- I've been using a heating blanket over my conures cage. it gets 40 degrees at night somtimes and I fear the wood stove will not keep her warma all night. Just 3 weeks ago I thought she was sick, I took her to the dr and we got antibiotics... I think she was cold. Im just wondering if anybody else thinks a electric blanket is safe?

Go camping
- I have a sun conure, and this might not work well with all birds, but my birdie sleeps in a little tent. the tents are actually meant for small types of monkeys, but my sun conure, Astro, loves his. Also makes him feel safe! :)
- —Guest tweety
Heated Perch For Birds
- I use K&H Thermo Perch for my BH Pionus...the perch varies the temp in diff sections enabling your bird to self regulate its temp when it wants to. Do not mess with existing perch solutions and add this in addition too so your bird can choose what it wants when it wants it. Birds feet are like humans heads in that the highest percentage of heat is lost through their feet. A heated perch is the best solution as such. And inexpensive. $30-$50 depending on size...shop around on the web and you will find a bargain.

Safe ways to keep bird warm in winter
- I keep my umbrella cockatoo (Capt. Johnny) warm by keeping a large down comforter over the cage. I also have a special infrared lamp I bought at the pet shop. His cage is stainless steel and 72" high so it is important that I also place a fleece throw with the comforter
- —Guest Sara Green
My parrots are doing fine :)
- I have a 30 year old yellow-naped Amazon and two 11 year old conures, who have always lived in the warm climates of south Florida and south Texas. This year I moved north to Pittsburgh and am experiencing my first 'real' winter! I was worried about my birdies and how they'd take the cold, but they've done marvelously in adapting. What I've done: -Keep them in a warm, draft-free room with good sunlight. I insulated the windows in that room with a kit that I bought from the hardware store. -The temperature inside is kept at 68. I do have two space heaters in the room that I plug in on particularly cold nights, but during the daylight they seem warm enough without them. -I don't cover their cages because my birds have never liked their cages covered. If your bird does though, it may be a good idea to do so. -However, all my birds were given cloth bird tents (Happy Huts) and/or cardboard boxes to crawl into. The conures LOVE the bird tent especially. -As usual, a good diet of premium pellets and a mix of fresh fruit/veggies, nuts, and other treats like pasta and rice. If they're healthy on the inside, they'll tolerate the chill better! That's about it. I just watch them and if they puff out too much I make adjustments to the heaters or move their cages a bit. :)
- —Guest Kiwi_Mango
- I heat up those bags that you can put on sore necks that heat up in the microwave. They have some kind of grain in them, so when they've been heated up, they get put right on top of our love bird's cage. That gets covered with blankets and a jacket, and it keeps the temp nice and cozy.
- —Guest Rita
Power Outage Problems (Solved!)
- I live in an area that has power outages every winter. This year it was scary because I couldn't get out to drive. I looked up some info online and found a couple of good ideas. There is a power inverter which you can get a car batter, a specific type of jumper cable and a small appliance. Read the directions, it's perfect for me to heat the bathroom while I work on the second stage of heat. take a large green garbage bag, put yard waste (leaves twigs etc...) and damp newspaper and close it up. Place the bag in a metal trash can and cover it. In a few hours (that's ok, I have my power inverter which should last up to 12 hours) you should be able to feel the can heating up from the compost action going on inside. One you can feel the heat it should be good for several hours as well. I am thinking to get two so we can stay in a bedroom instead of the bath.
- —Guest J
What I do
- I just put a warm big blanket over her cage and set the temp. to at least 73 75 Degress and it gets hot enough for her
- —Guest Bebelover
long time bird person
- After a brief look-see at the suggestions by bird fanciers on this site, I wanted point out that heat isn't the only factor to consider when attempting to keep your treasured pet warm and comfortable. Parrots have extremely sensitive sinuses and airways. Heat dries the air thus dries the birds resperatory and feathers which can lead to illness. Adding a humidifier can be a risk since they are a breeding ground for bacteria. It certainly is a double edged sword...on one hand, we don't want to freeze our birds...on the other hand, drying them out is extremely unhealthy for the birds. It has been our experience that a well acclimated parrot can withstand temps in the 40's. My advice is to only heat the air if absolutely necessary. I f your bird isn't healthy he/she probably won't be able to tolerate the adjustment. Always seek the advice of a veterinarian before making drastic changes to your birds environment. Good luck.

keeping my lovebirds warm enough
- I live in florida. I will probably move to indiana sometime next year. I have 2 lovebirds and I'm very concern if they will be able to handle the change of weather. Here, their cage is in my living room and the temperature with a/c is about 70 -75. If I move, will I be able to keep my birds? I know for sure they cannot be outside in the cold weather, but if I have them in the living room, will they be ok even during winter? Thanks, Lina

Sanitary pads.
BEIRUT: The Economy Ministry defended itself Friday against allegations it had failed to aggressively follow up on recent reports of low quality and possibly toxic sanitary pads.
"We have gathered over 100 samples of this specific brand from several areas all over the country and sent them to a laboratory for investigation," said Fouad Fleifil, director-general of the ministry. Fleifil said that scientific proof was needed to determine the ministry's next step.
"So far the results are reassuring, and the quality of those examined reflects adherence to good standards. However, nothing can be certain yet," he added.
Fleifil declined to reveal the name of the brand before evidence had been found, but he did reveal the packaging was a dark greenish-blue.
The scandal first broke in the local media last month after a number of women in Tripoli reported buying pads from a local supermarket that turned out to be "dirty."
The women later told Consumers Lebanon, a nongovernmental consumer rights organization, that the pads were being sold for between LL1,500 to LL1,250 per packet, about 750 lira cheaper than usual.
"The products we examined had a brownish color, which meant that the material in them had undergone a chemical reaction called oxidation," said Zouhair Berro, Consumers Lebanon's head. "Good-quality pads are made of a substance called cellulose, which never oxidizes this way."
Berro said the pads examined by Consumers Lebanon were made out of a "cheap cloth."
Dr. Faisal al-Kak, the former president of the Lebanese Society of Obstetrics and Gynecology, said that based on the information available there was clear cause for concern, although he said he could not be more specific without knowing the exact material used in the products.
"These cheap substances contain toxic materials that attract infection and yeast growth," Kak said.
According to Berro, there are several possibilities that could have led to substandard pads being sold to consumers. The supermarket in question might have forged the expiration date in order to sell products that had passed their shelf life, he said, or a local manufacturer could be producing a counterfeit version of a well-known brand using cheap materials.
The Daily Star contacted Always but the company denied knowledge of the scandal.
Nana, another brand that uses a similar colored packaging, could not be reached for comment.
Berro expressed frustration at the pace of the ministry's investigation.
Fleifil responded to the criticism by saying the ministry's testing had not turned up anything suspicious.
"Whoever wants to make an uproar about a consumers' issue had better have scientific proof first," Fleifil said.

RIP: Norman Whitfield, Songwriter and Motown Producer
From the Detroit Free Press:
Norman Whitfield, a producer and songwriter whose work propelled Motown Records into more ambitious musical territory, died Tuesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 67.
Whitfield had struggled for months with complications from diabetes, and his prognosis had been day-to-day for several weeks. He had recently emerged from a coma.
"It's a very sad day," said Janie Bradford, who with Whitfield cowrote the Temptations hit "Too Busy Thinking About My Baby."

According to Buddhists, Nirvana is attained through the Noble Eightfold Path. Consisting of the right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration, it is a strict disciplinary approach and end-goal to living that most of us eff-ups may consider initiating at some point during a happy blender-drinks party but wouldn't get three seconds into practicing the next hungover afternoon. Given the dedication required to lead a life contingent on strict philosophical beliefs and practices, it is not all that astonishing that some choose a different road.
Fortunately, some are able to invoke levels of transcendence few can appreciate or explain by playing music. Talibam!, for example, project blissful states simply by attacking and embracing the ridiculous that surrounds them and then running with it. For that, they are our enlightened artists of the day!
Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea have been harmoniacal busybodies since coming together in 2003, so to appease and infuriate religious completists, 2008 has already seen or will see releases on Holidays Records (split 7-inch with But God Created Women), stop scratching (cassette), No=Fi Recordings (live cassette), Thor's Rubber Hammer (Ecstatic Jazz Duos series, split 12-inch with Wasteland Jazz Unit), Wallace Records (PhonoMetak series, split 10-inch with Jealousy Party), and Roaratorio (12-inch collaboration with Daniel Carter).
Phew... devoting yourself wholly to anything, be it a guiding philosophy or music collecting, is a religion unto itself.
Talibam! starts its six-week, twelve-country tour in grand style tonight in Paris with a special performance alongside Rhys Chatham -- who will join our heroes Mottel and Shea on fuzz trumpet and guitars -- and which features opening slots by Peeesseye, Religious Knives, Gala Drop, and Corridors.

Top 5 Reasons Why Kemialliset Ystävät Should be More Popular Than The Hold Steady:
5. Kemialliset Ystävät (Jan Anderzén) released an untitled album last year, and to quote reviewer Keith Kawaii: "As future generations grow even more accustomed to completely 'songless' records, Kemialliset Ystävät will feel more like the rule instead of the exception." (TMT Review) The Hold Steady albums are full of song songs.
4. "Kemialliset Ystävät" is Finnish for "Chemical Friends," and since you don't have any friends, chemical or otherwise, you might as well have a Finnish one. Besides, The Hold Steady have so many friends already they wouldn't be able to fit you into their bar-hopping, I-don't-like-their-music-very-much schedule.
3. Kemialliset Ystävät RULES!
2. Kemialliset Ystävät has sampled Sun Ra, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and Vibracathedral Orchestra. The Hold Steady's guitarist said he likes Oasis (and dissed Radiohead).
1. The Hold Steady aren't very good. Really, though, why are they so either loved or hated? You think I like being negative like this about a band that gives so many people joy? You know how many angry emails from Hold Steady fans I'm going to get? Hell, I got enough for my Jack White/Coca-Cola story. GOD. Sometimes I wonder if any of this is worth it. Sometimes I wonder if life is worth it...
Fucked Up Announce Tourdates; Annapocalypse Recalls Two Unrelated Fucked Up Non-Sequiturs
Confession: I don't listen to the band Fucked Up. All I know about them is that they're on Matador Records, they're from Toronto, and their music is a bit too hardcore for my tastes. That said, this week I had two separate conversations with people I know in which they mentioned Fucked Up, so I felt it fitting that I contribute a news story this week about them. Here are my Fucked Up tales:
- Fucked Up Tale #1 (with my brother on Instant Messenger):
Him: the title track is one of the best songs i've ever heard, period
Him: it's about the plight of sex workers in Canada
Him: it's 18 minutes long
- Fucked Up Tale #2 (with my friend via e-mail):
Me: Did you just mention Jay Reatard and Fucked Up? Those are new bands; I thought you didn't listen to anything post-1995, hahah.
Him: Dude, Jay Reatard's been around since the 90s -- he started when he was 16. I met the lead singer of Fucked Up when I was in Toronto a few years ago... he wanted a button I was wearing. Yeah, right! What would you do if this man approached you and said he wanted your button?
Whatever you do, don't let Fucked Up's lead singer talk you into giving away your buttons:

Senate Judiciary Committee Approves the RIAA-Backed Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Act, Now Steps Away From Becoming Law; Senator Patrick Leahy Makes Damn Sure that He Gets Every Penny from That Dark Knight Cameo
On September 11, 2008, the Senate Judiciary Committee reported a piece of legislation called the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights Act, which passed through the committee by a 14-4 margin. If turned into law, the act would expand the federal government's jurisdiction over copyright and counterfeiting cases. The RIAA-backed act grants federal prosecutors with the authority to slap P2P file-sharers in violation of copyright laws with civil lawsuits, while also establishing an intimidating-sounding position within the executive branch to oversee these more stringent IP laws — the IP Enforcement Coordinator.
I know this intellectual property rights business gets a little complicated, so why don't I just let one of the original proponents of the bill, Democratic Vermont senator Patrick Leahy, explain the significance of these potential copyright laws:
I know first hand how important it is for criminal investigators, and the lawyers who prosecute those cases, to have a full arsenal of legal tools to ensure that justice is done. I also know how important the intellectual property industries are to our economy, and to our position as a global leader… The Vermont Teddy Bear Company relies heavily on its patented products.
See, the Justice Department isn't using your tax money to pursue harmless file-sharers on behalf of billion-dollar industries such as the RIAA -- they're leveling a crusade against evil counterfeiters bent on wiping out the wholesome mom and pop teddy bear industries that this country is built upon.
And combining what seems to be one of those MasterCard "priceless" advertisements with severe head trauma, Leahy further elaborates the importance of intellectual property rights to our national economy -- and the his own personal importance as a rising motion picture star:
I was once a prosecutor. I am now a Senator. But I have always been a fan of movies. My cameo in the latest Batman movie, The Dark Knight, was priceless to me but we can put real numbers on the value of that production to the economy.
Mitch Bainwol, CEO/Chairman of the RIAA, cheered the Senate panel's decision, stating in a RIAA press release, "This legislation is a welcome verse in a great song." So, in honor of the RIAA's victory over individual privacy and decent metaphors, I'm announcing the kickoff of the completely imaginary "The RIAA is Conspiring with the Federal Government to Eradicate All Traces of Internet Privacy in a Desperate Ploy to Recoup Diminishing Revenue / Name that Tune Contest!" Because I think that there is a pretty good joke somewhere in there, especially if I pretend that the prize is an original teddy bear from the Vermont Teddy Bear Company.
An Exploratory Tour With High Places of Steep Cliffs and Large Mountains Around the Continental United States
High Places, the beloved electro-pop duo of tragically flat Brooklyn, NY, would like to invite you on an expedition sure to raise the altitude and perhaps your blood pressure. They're embarking soon (today, in fact) on a tour around the country to support their upcoming self-titled album (due September 22 on Thrill Jockey). But, brave explorers, this is not the main focus of their journey! Those among you who enjoy both glorious music and glorious views are encouraged to attend pre-show hiking trips at high places (See how it's not capitalized this time? Comedy, people!) "near" each city's venue. You are encouraged to bring:
- hiking boots (for rough terrain)
- light luncheon (for sustenance)
- parasol (apparently the sun gets way intense up there)
- baseball bat (to ward off bears)
- buttons (no clue)
Be advised that this band is pretty high-energy, so you could get left behind. That's where the baseball bat comes in handy.
Ready, set, exhaustion!

Huffington Post Has Nothing on Noise for Obama.org
Quick! Between McCain and Obama, which one is more likely to show up at a Nautical Almanac gig? Give up? Well, Brian Chippendale from Lightning Bolt and Brian Miller from Foot Village already know the answer to that one and recently raised the Noise for Obama barn. Noise for Obama takes on a multi-pronged attack, featuring artist statements from the hottest hearthrobs in noise waxin' on why they're voting for Obama in November, a place for fans to have their say, and info on registering to vote.
The Noise for Obama idea originated after both gentlemen changed their MySpace pages to an Obama '08 theme. Afterwards, Chippendale, Miller, and friends noticed a lot of political apathy in the noise scene. It was high time to give everyone a little push toward civic responsibility. Miller wrote in the site's press release:
We were both concerned that a lot of people, both audiences and artists, in the noise/underground music community don't vote and may not have considered what an important election year this is. So I started writing to other noise rockers and found that there are others that feel as strongly about Obama as we do.
Check Noise for Obama for statements from No Age, Friends Forever, and Deerhoof. You can bet Obama has been pumpin' his fist to Friendship Nation (TMT Review) and Hypermagic Mountain (TMT Review) all week. Meanwhile, both Lightning Bolt (TMT News) and Foot Village (TMT News) are set to tour this fall.

Thee Oh Sees Tour, Hopefully Honor My Request To Not Change Name to The Oh Say Can You Sees
Talk about great track record. Just take a look at Jon Dwyer's basic list: Pink & Brown, Coachwhips, and OCS/The Ohsees/Thee Oh Sees -- all pretty damn great. His current project, Thee Oh Sees, has not only experienced a few name changes (more like tweaks), but it has also gone through just as many modifications in sound. From its early sparse acoustic songs to the haunted, slow-psyche molasses rock sound of 2008 LP The Masters Bedroom Is Worth Spending A Night In (TMT Review), the band has maintained a high level of quality.
If you are a regular reader of TMT, you already learned how to be a fan, so it is time to take that knowledge and put it to good use. The band is going on a month-long tour of the USA, and unless you live in some out-of-the-way place (like Denver or Detroit), then the tour will likely hit near your town. You could also buy some new stuff, like the band's recently released live CD+DVD, Thee Hounds Of Foggy Notion (Tomlab). This live recording is a collaboration between the band and director Brian Lee Hughes, filmed around the time of last year's Sucks Blood LP.

Best Buy Snags Napster for $121 Million, Lehman Bros. Upset It Didn't Switch Industries Overnight
Monday, September 15 was a bit of a free-for-all in the land of the big boy businesses, but the weirdest bit of news is this: someone actually paid for Napster, and even weirder, Napster came with 700,000 subscribers. 700,000 people still actually use Napster, though I would be curious to find out how many of those people still think 56k is cutting edge. I suppose there's gotta be a population somewhere that's stuck in the Dark Ages of the internet. Anyway, the lucky bidder -- at $121 million -- was Best Buy, which has ruffled industry feathers as of late with its venture into the world of musical instruments (TMT News), vinyl (TMT News), and local music (TMT News).
$121 million is roughly double Napster's estimated stock market value, so Best Buy must have a pretty good master plan as to how it'll make a nearly-dead digital music service work. However, it's keeping on current CEO Chris Gorog along with most of the other HUs, the same folks whose investors threatened to take over the company if Napster didn't stop hemorrhaging. Best Buy hopes to use Napster's current resources and staff to expand its digital presence in all forms of media, but it has a unique set of variables to deal with first. Napster currently sells DRM-free individual MP3s, but users who want to access a $13/month subscription catalog get DRMed. Also, Napster currently offers free and on-demand MP3s through free.napster.com, which probably won't make the cut. Hmm. Out of those 700,000 subscribers, I'm 100% positive that 99.9% of them will be cheesed off unless Best Buy can find a good solution for it all. The plot thickens... I know I'll be keeping an eye on this one.

In July 2010, I held my first Spark & Hustle conference—spark for the ideas, passion and expertise that so many women have, hustle for what it takes to turn that into cash. For three scorching summer days in Atlanta, two hundred smart, savvy women shared their vision and dreams, while soaking up all kinds of tips and tactics from our roster of handpicked speakers—women who had started with nothing but guts and created successful businesses. They built their destinies brick by brick and shared their hard-won wisdom with others who wanted to do the same. The feedback from the Atlanta event was so strong that I decided to take Spark & Hustle on the road. I wanted other women with established or fledgling businesses to learn from people who'd been there and done that—sometimes with the gray hairs to prove it.
I've spent the last year meeting thousands of talented current and would-be entrepreneurs at Spark & Hustle events in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia and Tulsa.
What I learned from these women made writing this book possible and affirmed what I know to be true: desire and hustle trump education, experience and economics.
Forget the MBA. If you have one, great. But you don't need it; I'm a college dropout who launched a very successful business with very little money and no special connections. The women I work with are hungry to make things happen, but none of them have sugar daddies and I can't recall a single one saying she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. They know it's all about the hustle: the decisions they make and the actions they take each and every day.
Now it's your turn to hustle. I hope you're at least a tad crazy. It helps in this line of work.
At my Philadelphia Spark & Hustle event, maternity retail pioneer Liz Lange said, "Those of us who succeed do so because we're nuts." She's my kind of girl—making me feel normal (whatever that is) for being somewhat insane. This was a sentiment echoed on our stage by many of the most successful women today. Stella & Dot cofounder Jessica Herrin said it, too: "You have to be a little bit (or a lot) crazy to make it as a small business owner."
If you're OK with that—in fact, ready to embrace it—then let's make your business dream a reality. Only you can define what success looks like for you, but on these pages you'll learn what I did on my journey and what I've shared with others at my Spark & Hustle events: the nuts and bolts of starting and growing a profitable small business.
If there is a common trait among the women I meet who make it, it's this: they believe in themselves and what they are doing. That's the most potent fuel for an entrepreneur. Follow their lead and believe unflinchingly in yourself. And know that I'm rooting for your small business success.
CHAPTER ONE: My "Why"
My entrepreneurial path began in 1990. An exciting summer internship, which ended with an entry-level job offer at ABC News, prompted me to quit college in favor of moving to New York City. From there I landed a position as a publicist at NBC News, promoting the network's superstars—Jane Pauley, Maria Shriver, the late Tim Russert, investigative ace Brian Ross, among others—and the programs they anchored. I loved the pace of breaking news, the thrill of working with the best in the business and the paycheck that afforded me, then a twenty-one-year-old kid, a decent lifestyle.

Hey everybody, I just wanted to give you all an update to how things are going with my Blender stuff. I have made these images without help from any tutorials (except this first one; I was learning about fluid simulations and the fluid settings in Blender), while only using reference images and imagination for the modeling. Check 'em out!

Freaking Awesome Streak!
Just finished another drawing of Isaac Clarke from Dead Space and it turned out great. I did the same one a little over a year ago. First one is the one just mentioned and last is most recent. Big difference in detail…..
Sorry, but the camera on my phone is horrible so, yeah, the quality of the images aren't that good, but enjoy what you can.

Goyer Shoots for Green Arrow Flick
The news of the intended project first broke over the weekend on the WizardUniverse website, which meant that the industry trade papers were only getting around to covering the story on Tuesday.
Titled "Super Max," the project is based on an original idea by Justin Marks, who will co-write with Goyer. The premise is that Green Arrow is wrongfully incarcerated in a maximum security prison full of villains he originally put away.
Think "Arkham Asylum," only with Green Arrow characters.
The project is set up at Warner Bros.
Goyer's next film is the writing-directing effort "The Invisible," set for release at the end of the month. In February he announced that he was no longer involved with writing and directing "The Flash," though his superhero credentials remain in place thanks to writing credits on "

Mystic — Herds of lions, swarms of bees and a handful of ninjas kept company with the fish at Mystic Aquarium Wednesday night for a free, last-minute trick-or-treating event.
Aquarium spokesman Erin Merz said more than 8,200 people — families from towns beleaguered by power outages, downed trees and power lines — made the trip for a safe Halloween haven among the aquarium's exhibits for the evening.
"We were talking amongst ourselves — our staff and our volunteers and their families were so impacted (by Sandy) — so we thought, what the heck, we'll open this up to everyone who wants to come," she said.
Officials in several local towns had canceled scheduled parties and parades, with some even asking parents to postpone trick-or-treating to a specified later date. But for purists intent on doing Halloween on Halloween, the aquarium opened up all indoor and outdoor exhibits, staffing a path of 10 trick-or-treating tables throughout the outdoor exhibit.
Less than 24 hours of planning went into the event, Merz said, with volunteers and staff raiding local stores for bags of candy and retrieving decorations that had been tucked safely away ahead of the storm. Merz said some good Samaritans, upon learning why those enlisted were ringing up armfuls of sweets, pitched in on what turned out to be 40,000 pieces of candy — an entire minivan full of sugar.
Social media and email blasts to aquarium members brought in the crowds, creating a traffic jam from the I-95 exit, past Olde Mistick Village, where an annual trick-or-treating event also was being held. Even Republican U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon made an appearance, handing out candy to the costumed masses.
The indoor exhibits were in full swing as well: Spiderman hung his elbows off the glass of the sting ray pool, petting swimming passersby; a princess pressed her face to the glass, admiring a school of fish.
Parent chaperones shared a prevailing sentiment of gratitude for the aquarium, which brought in 35 volunteers and staffers to lend a hand.
"It was very nice of them to do this," said David Flagge of Old Lyme, who lost power at home and came with his daughter, Isabella, 9, sporting a dark-braided wig as Wednesday Addams.
Isabella's best friend, Jack Beauprez, also 9, was in tow, in place among the aquarium's regular inhabitants in his shark costume. Two defeated legs protruded from his hood's sharp, toothy mouth — dinner.
"I've been getting lots of compliments," Beauprez said.
Tara and Jeff Autrey of East Lyme were busy trying to snap a photo of daughter Ashlyn, 2, next to one of the tanks; Ashlyn, cozy in a gray, striped onesie of a cat costume, was more interested in taking stock of her loot in a plastic jack-o'-lantern bucket. The family was just there Sunday.
"The fish are all old hat," Tara said.
After losing power in the storm, the couple said they were happy to have somewhere to bring their daughter.
"We think it's really great that they did this tonight," Jeff said. "I think the kids are having a lot of fun."
By 7:30 p.m., 2½ hours in and a half hour before close, the flow of candy was still going strong. By 8 p.m., with the last of it handed out to the exodus of trick-or-treaters, all 40,000 pieces of candy had found new homes.
Merz said the turnout was overwhelming — in a good way.
"When you plan an event of this magnitude in less than 24 hours' notice, you never really know what to expect," she said. "I think everyone was really happy to have a Halloween because they almost didn't this year."

- Conference Reports may be brought up at any time.

- Possible Motions to Instruct Conferees.
Rep. Patrick Murphy [D, PA-8] is expected to propose an amendment to the 2011 Defense bill to repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and allow gay men and women to serve openly in the military. In the other chamber, the Senate Armed Services Committee is marking up their version of the Defense bill and will also be taking a vote on repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." Will either of the amendments pass? It's unclear at this point. Democrats who would otherwise support the repeal are hesitating due to mixed signals from Obama and the White House. Last month, the White House sent a letter to Congress supporting Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen's idea to delay a vote until the military has conducted a study on the issue.
The tax extenders bill contains, among other things, an extension of unemployment benefits insurance until the end of 2010. Right now, unemployed people in states with high unemployment rates can receive up to 99 weeks of benefits in four different tiers. This bill would not extend that. It would extend the filing deadline for people expiring tiers 1-3 and applying to move into the next tier.
And here's what we know about the Senate's schedule so far:
Convenes: 2:00pm There will be a period of morning business until 3:00pm with senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each.
At 3:00pm, the Senate will proceed to the consideration of H.R.4899, the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations bill.
At approximately 5:30pm, the Senate will proceed to a series of 2 roll call votes. Those votes will be in relation to the Brownback and Hutchison motions to instruct conferees with respect to Wall Street Reform.
That bill on the Senate schedule contains about $33 billion in Iraq/Afghanistan spending. This is likely the last the wars will get "supplemental" funding outside of the regular budgeting process, and it's largely a left over effect of Bush's insistence on funding the wars in supplementals.
The financial reform conference committee may begin this week as well, and it looks like it will be televised. The negotiators have some really big decisions to make on things like whether or not to require banks to spin off their derivativestrading activities, and whether the new consumer financial protection body should be housed at the Federal Reserve or fully independent. You can get a god rundown of the differences between the House and Senate financial reform bills here. We'll be covering it all here, so grab the RSS and stay tuned.

Boston Celtics' Kevin Garnett not playing his age
35-year-old sparks Celtics to fourth straight victory
BOSTON - Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers could see Kevin Garnett was looking and feeling spry.
Running the floor and looking strong on the glass, the 35-year-old Garnett matched his season-high with 24 points and grabbed nine rebounds to lead the Celtics to their fourth straight win, a 98-80 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
"He was feeling good. It's a still a kids' game. He was having fun," Rivers said of Garnett, a 14-time All-Star. "He was having a ball playing today and you don't want to tell him you have to come in because the lights are on, so we let him play in the dark a little bit."
Garnett was 9 of 12 from the field, including his third 3-pointer of the season on three tries. He hit one in Friday's win over New York.
"He's shooting it well," Rivers said, before joking about Garnett's recent 3-point success. "Gives us another option at the end of the game — don't tell him that."
Paul Pierce scored 21 points, moving nine behind Hall of Famer Larry Bird for second place on the club's all-time list, and Ray Allen added 12. Rajon Rondo had 14 assists and reserve Chris Wilcox chipped in with 12 points.
Boston took charge with a 21-7 run early in the fourth quarter that turned a six-point lead to 90-70 on Garnett's jumper.
Relying on a combination of reserves and two of their usual stars — Garnett and Pierce — the Celtics controlled the glass and outran the Grizzlies for transition baskets.
"I thought we put together some really good runs and got the ball moving," Pierce said.
Rudy Gay paced the Grizzlies with 21 points and seven rebounds, and O.J. Mayo scored 15 points for Memphis, which has lost six of eight.
The Celtics led by six points at halftime and pushed it to double digits (53-43) on Pierce's two free throws midway into the third. Boston relied on some hot long-range shooting in the third quarter, hitting 5 of its first 6 from behind the 3-point line to keep Memphis from coming back until Gay scored three consecutive baskets late in the period.
"The key to the game was that we didn't get back on defense. They had 26 fast break points on us and that was huge, and they controlled the glass," Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said. "We turned them over but we couldn't get the easy transition buckets. They got back on defense and forced us to play half court, and they did a good job defensively."
Allen hit three shots from beyond the arc and was fouled on one, hitting the free throw that made it 62-51. Pierce and Garnett also hit 3s, with Garnett's bringing a loud ovation from the crowd.
"I can shoot 3s," Garnett said. "Everyone's acting like I'm 50 and out here on one leg. I don't shoot 3s because we have one of the all-time greatest 3-point shooters in the history of the league (Allen), we have Paul Pierce who has won 3-point contests, we have other guys who can shoot 3. That ain't my role here. My role is to get those guys open and shoot it, dunk it, pass it, whatever to get us going. But, I can shoot 3s."
Heat 95, Raptors 89: LeBron James took a hard foul and clearly was not happy. So the next time he saw the ball, he made sure no Toronto player could reach him. James' steal and dunk with just more than two minutes left gave Miami some breathing room, and the Heat held on to defeat the Toronto Raptors. James finished with 30 points and Dwyane Wade added 25 for the Heat (18-6), who won for the 10th time in the past 12 games and moved within one game of Chicago (20-6) for the best record in the Eastern Conference. Chris Bosh scored 12 points against his former team. Mario Chalmers added 11 for Miami. DeMar DeRozan scored 25 for the Raptors, who got 17 apiece from Jerryd Bayless and Linas Kleiza.
