Oft-outspoken festival promoter AJ Maddah tweeted last night that the line-up for his Soundwave 2013 festival, announced this morning, would sell out in an hour.
Some boast, but it is all but certain there's something to it.
Among those announced were metal superstars Metallica, who sold out four Allphones Arena dates themselves on their last visit in 2010. It had been rumoured the Californians will be playing their 1991 self-titled album - which has sold more than half-a-million-copies in Australia alone - in full.
Also along for the ride will be Linkin Park, Anthrax, Garbage, A Perfect Circle, Paramore, Duff McKagan's Loaded, Flogging Molly, Sum 41, The Lawrence Arms, Lucero, Six Feet Under and many more. The long-awaited return of reunited pop-punk icons Blink 182 had been confirmed in recent weeks, along with a drip feed of other names including Stone Sour, Cancer Bats and the Offspring.
The festival has played host to the likes of Iron Maiden, Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson and Faith No More in recent years.
Tickets are priced at A$189 including fees and public transport and go on sale Thursday, August 23 with a presale commencing seven days prior.
Soundwave dates:
Brisbane: Saturday, February 23
Sydney: Sunday, February 24
Melbourne: Friday, March 1
Adelaide: Saturday, March 2
Perth: Monday, March 4

Fruean to have heart surgery; out for season
Relevant offers
Super Rugby
The Crusaders confirmed this afternoon that centre Robbie Fruean has withdrawn from the remainder of the 2013 Super Rugby Season as he is set to undergo heart surgery.
The 24-year-old requires a further valve replacement as a result of rheumatic fever he suffered as 20 year old.
His cardiac function has been slowly deteriorating over the last 6 months and his specialist has recommended further surgery at this point.
"Robbie has been closely monitored over the past few months and in conjunction with his specialist team the decision has been made to withdraw him from the remainder of the season and to have surgery,'' Crusaders doctor Deb Robinson said. ''While Robbie is facing major surgery he is otherwise fit & healthy which should stand him in good stead for his recovery."Head coach Todd Blackadder is fully behind Fruean.
"Robbie is a true inspiration to us all. He is positive about his upcoming surgery and is looking forward to getting his recovery underway. The Crusaders will miss his presence on the field plus all the laughter he brings to the team off the field.
However we are fully behind Robbie and our thoughts and prayers are with him.''I have no doubt that if the surgery goes well Robbie will be back next year and will be a force to be reckoned with. He is a fantastic rugby player. I know it's been frustrating for him over the last few months that his body has not been able to perform to level he would like it to.''
Fruean's rugby career had to be put temporarily on hold in 2009 when his pancarditis was first identified following rheumatic fever and he underwent open-heart surgery. It didn't hold him back for long though and in his debut season with Canterbury in 2010 ITM Cup he was the joint leading try scorer and tournament player of the year 2010 and 2012.
He was selected for the Crusaders in 2010 and has racked up 80 points in 61 matches.Fruean represented New Zealand in the 2007 Under 19's championship-winning side. He also won the IRB Under 19 Player of the Year 2007.
Following surgery Fruean is likely to be in hospital for four to five days. Doctors expect he will be able start gentle exercise within six weeks of surgery.

Tie Dye Town, a special events venue that offers creative, hands-on art parties, opened its first Rockland County, NY location in late March.
Owner Andrea Dworkin, a New Jersey mom who worked in Manhattan as a children's fashion designer for more than 15 years, opened the business' first location after noticing a gap in the market. "Having children of my own, I realized there was a need for parties like this, where kids can really use their creativity and get messy," Dworkin says. The business expands to New City from two locations in New Jersey, four in Manhattan, and one in Queens.
Tie Dye Town offers several party packages for birthdays, bar/bat mitzvahs, school groups, and other special events, including the World's Greatest Tie Dye Party (ages 3 and up) and a Messy Art Party (ages 2 and up). Parties offer a variety of arts and crafts activities, including painting, spin art, and, of course, tie-dying. Guests take home all their own artwork along with a goody bag. Themed parties and extras are also available, including tie-dye cupcakes or cake.
In addition to parties, Tie Dye Town offers Messy Art Classes on an eight-week schedule.
Tie Dye Town is located at NY Dance Sport, 61 S. Main Street in New City, NY.

People Interact as Cows on a Virtual Reality Farm
Cyber technology at Stanford University brings factory farm exposure to a new, interactive level.
At Stanford University's Virtual Human Interaction Lab, psychological analysis is combined with cutting edge technology to test the effects of empathy as subjects experience what it's like to be a factory farm cow from a first-person perspective. Participants are immersed in a virtual reality world where they walk on their hands and feet, are prodded and electrocuted by workers, and finally are led off to the slaughterhouse. The subjects were then asked to record what they ate during the week after their virtual experience. The results have yet to be analyzed, but subjects have already testified that the Virtual Human Interaction Lab's ability to induce empathy: "I truly felt like I was going to the slaughter house towards the end and I felt sad that I (as a cow) was going to die," said one participant to ClimateWire.

Leawood Painting Parties & Private Event Lounge
The Thirsty Palette is Leawood's painting party hotspot, allowing people with no painting experience to create their very own "intoxicating art!"
With a fully stocked bar and flexible accommodations, the Thirsty Palette is perfect for dates, bachelorette parties, birthday parties, baby showers, team-building functions or just a night out with friends.
So, how does our painting party work?
Every Wednesday through Saturday evening, an individual painting is featured which you may sign for on our calendar page. We are no longer open on Tuesday evenings, but we now offer a Sunday afternoon class. That evening, the artist of the featured painting will demonstrate to the class stroke by stroke how to paint a near identical version of it. Once the two-hour session is complete, you will have a new piece of art to take home and hang on your wall!
Included in the cost of both public and private painting sessions are brushes, paints, canvases, setup, cleanup, and artist demonstration.
Class schedules are limited, so reserve your spot now!

One of Spain's foremost leading ladies of the 1990s, Penélope Cruz has managed to make her mark with international audiences as well. Born in Madrid on April 28, 1974, Cruz was one of three children of a merchant and a hairdresser. After years of intensive study in ballet and jazz, she broke into acting in 1992. That year, she had starring roles in Jamón Jamón and Belle Epoque, two very disparate films. The former cast her as the desperately poor daughter of a village prostitute, while the latter featured her as one of four lusty daughters of a wealthy man in pre-Franco Spain. Belle Epoque proved to be a huge success, winning nine Goya Awards (the Spanish equivalent of an Academy Award) and an Oscar for Best Foreign Film. Its success gave Cruz a dose of international recognition, and after starring in a number of Spanish films, she enhanced this recognition in 1997 with the Sundance entry Abre los Ojos (Open Your Eyes). That same year, she had a brief but memorable role in Pedro Almodóvar's Carne Trémula (Live Flesh).
In 1998, Cruz had her first starring role in an English-language film, playing Billy Crudup's Mexican-American love interest in Stephen Frears' The Hi-Lo Country. She had another go at English later that year in the Spanish-British romantic comedy Twice Upon a Yesterday, which cast her as a Spanish barmaid living in London. In 1999, she returned to Spain to collaborate once again with Almodóvar on Todo Sobre Mi Madre (All About My Mother), a wildly acclaimed film that premiered at Cannes that year.
The next two years would prove to be a critical turning point in both Cruz's personal and professional life, with increasingly visible roles in large-scale Hollywood productions as well as a developing relationship with one Tinseltown's most popular leading men. Gaining notice for her roles in All the Pretty Horses in 2000 and Blow the following year, it appeared as if Cruz's career had suddenly kicked into overdrive. After starring alongside Nicolas Cage in the underperforming Captain Corelli's Mandolin in 2001, Cruz dove back into familiar territory with director Cameron Crowe's remake of Abre los Ojos, Vanilla Sky (2001). Developing a close relationship with lead Tom Cruise as his much publicized breakup with Nicole Kidman drew to a close, the pair soon found themselves the center of considerable paparazzi attention as they became Hollywood's hottest new couple.
While "Cruz & Cruise" outlasted most celebrity couplings born on movie sets -- even generating wedding talk -- the duo went their separate ways in 2004. Perhaps not coincidentally, Cruz's career took a backseat to her paramour's while she was dating him; between 2001 and 2004, most of her roles were either minor ones in uncelebrated American indies (Waking Up in Reno, Masked and Anonymous, Noel) or meatier ones in foreign films that failed to gain traction in the States (Fanfan la Tulipe, Don't Move, Bandidas). Luckily, the actress rebounded with a performance thought by many critics to be the best of her career, when she re-teamed with one of her earliest champions, Pedro Almodóvar, for his nostalgic, bittersweet Volver in 2006. Warm, witty, and biting, Cruz's performance kept her name in the running for many year-end awards, even garnering her her first Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
In 2008, Cruz earned strong reviews for her work in Elegy, but it was her turn in Woody Allen's Vicky Cristina Barcelona that garnered her Best Supporting Actress nods from the Hollywood Foreign Press, the Screen Actors Guild, and winning the trophy in that category from the Academy.
She was nominated the next year for the Golden Globe, the Screen Actors Guild, and the Oscar for her sexy supporting turn in Rob Marshall's big-screen adaptation of the hit Broadway musical Nine. Despite the film itself doing poorly, Cruz proved that she'd found a solid career trajectory as the 2010's progressed, appearing in projec

Doubt: A Parable at The Weekend Theater
4/12/2013 @ 7:30 pm
Price: $16/$12
Click here to visit the event Web site for more information
E-mail: email@example.com
Phone: (501) 374-3761
Location: The Weekend Theater
Address: 1001 W. Seventh St., Little Rock, AR 72201
Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award, John Patrick Shanley's provocative new play, Doubt, is a gripping story of suspicion cast on a priest's behavior that is less about scandal than about fascinatingly nuanced questions of moral certainty. Blunt yet subtle, manipulative but full of empathy for all sides, the play is set in 1964 but could not be more timely.

Pacers owner sued by nanny, driver
Mar 12, 2010, 8:36 AM EDT
It's one of David Stern's private messages to NBA owners — don't do anything that ends you up on TMZ.com.
The Pacers owner Herb Simon has failed that simple directive.
In a lawsuit filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Herb Simon and his Thai supermodel wife, Bui, are accused of firing Claudia Leite after she told her bosses she became pregnant last month.
In the suit, Leite claims the family "feared" that she would want to take a "brief or limited medical leave of absence" around the time the baby was due — and according to Leite, that wasn't gonna cut it. But the nanny isn't going after the Simons alone. The family's former driver is also suing the couple, claiming they kicked him to the curb when the guy became "disabled with severe infections."
Who knows if this is legitimate or just a money grab? Either way, what the Pacers really need right now to shore up support in the community is the owner ending up in tabloid headlines. At least he wasn't firing a gun outside strip club. As far as we know.

Title: Plants for a creek bank in Northern Illinois
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:Hello. I live in Northern Illinois. The creek (northern exposure in a wooded area) on the back of my property has bare muddy banks and is subject to seasonal floods. I want to plant something hardy to control bank erosion. A combo of evergreen shrubs/trees/flowers would be ideal. Thank you in advance!
Here are some recommendations for native plants that should do well on your creek bank. Unfortunately, there are very few choices for evergreens.
Carex stipata (owlfruit sedge)
Calamagrostis canadensis (bluejoint)
Equisetum hyemale (scouringrush horsetail), evergreen
Cephalanthus occidentalis (common buttonbush)
Lindera benzoin (northern spicebush)
Lobelia cardinalis (cardinalflower)
Asclepias incarnata (swamp milkweed)
Eupatoriadelphus maculatus (spotted trumpetweed)
Lobelia siphilitica (great blue lobelia)
Justicia americana (American water-willow)
You can see more possibilities by doing a COMBINATION SEARCH in the Native Plant Database by selecting 'Illinois' from the Select State or Province, 'Wet..' from Soil moisture, and your choice from the Habit (general appearance) option.
You can also find a list of Wetland Wildflowers of Illinois in the Illinois Wildflowers database.

Trends of this Generation: Digital distribution
Feb 20
// Daniel Starkey
This may not seem like that big of a deal at first. After all, where people buy their games has never really been that big of a deal, but if we really think about everything that's changing now, almost all of it can be traced back to, in some way, the rise of digital distribution on the back of burgeoning broadband networks in almost every section of the globe. To truly understand just how important this is, you first need to understand a bit about the game industry itself. Generally speaking, most developers operate through a publisher that creates the physical discs, encodes them, creates the packaging and ships them out to the retailers. And that all takers place after the console manufacturer (Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft) approve the game for publication on their system. Everyone in that process gets a cut of the game's final sales -- devs, pubs, console manufacturers, the shipping infrastructure, and the retailers. If the game is successful, then that translates into least money on the developer's side for investment in future projects. Developers still risk almost everything while the potential rewards from that gamble are gobbled up by everyone else. Now, in many ways, this system helps subsidize the cost of consoles, and does provide extra capital to publishers who occasionally bankroll projects that might not otherwise ever see the light of day, but many developers would still prefer to see the largest percentage of sales come back to them as possible. While certainly not the first platform of its kind, Valve was able to get the ball rolling with the completion and distribution of Steam in 2003. Through it, players could search for, purchase, and download any games that were currently available. Valve, in some sense, acted as a publisher of sorts, by taking a small chunk of any sales -- after that though, the developers were allowed to keep whatever else was left. There was no retail store to deal with, and because Steam was only available on the PC, there was no one to approve of and license the game for distribution. That one change started a revolution, whose effects are becoming more and more apparent every day. After the release of the Xbox 360, Microsoft established their digital storefront called Xbox Live Marketplace. Nintendo and Sony followed suit with the Wii Shop Channel and PlayStation Store, respectively. While the console crowd was a few years behind, their entrance into the digital distribution market would be no less influential. In the years since, each of their stores has seen an exceptional list of exclusives, and in an era where multi-platforms are the norm, that is no small thing. Fez, Journey and the entire BIT.TRIP series, were for a time, at least, exclusive to a different platform. While none of these stores completely overthrew the traditional publication model, they outlets seemed to favor smaller, cheaper games that were a bit more successful than their full-priced, AAA brethren. A new set of price points became the norm -- $5, $10 and $15, certainly a far cry from the $60 gamers were accustomed to paying. At those prices, consumers would be a bit more likely to take a risk on an untested product- even one that they had never heard of. Indie games like the ones I mentioned earlier plus dozens of others have become more and more common. In many ways this matches the general trend we've seen in all forms of media over the past decade. Instead of buying whole albums, customers can pick and choose tracks they like. People can get Netflix and try out all kinds of movies and television shows with very little financial risk. Ebooks and the ability of authors to self-publish online has given many, many more people a variety of options for media consumption. The real game changer here, the bit that has already started changing how the vast majority of people plays games has really only gained traction in the past two or three years. Games like Temple Run have been downloaded tens of millions of times, with Angry Birds recently topping one-billion downloads. That reaches a level of cultural ubiquity of which most can only dream. The PS2, the single most successful game console ever, has been around for 12 years and moved 150 million units. Android alone has 500 million devices in hands, with 1.3 million more activations per day. These numbers are absolutely ludicrous, and while I know many "core" gamers aren't too thrilled about it, Nintendo and Sony, with their relatively modern handhelds, are still light years behind the new face of the market. It's difficult to say exactly where all of this will end up, but portable gaming is here to stay, and the old guard has never seemed more incompetent and more resistant to change. A few closing thoughts If there's one thing that we should really be taking away from all of this, it is that this past generation has been nothing if not superlative. Our medium is growing, and it is doing so at an incredible rate. Yes, retail sales and the like have been in decline and yes, more than a few studios have seen their doors close earlier than they deserve, but the mainstream adoption of gaming in all its forms is incredible. These days, everyone's a gamer.

Trends of this Generation: Gamification
Feb 19
// Daniel Starkey
The Xbox 360 got the ball rolling on gamification with Gamerscore. Sony and Valve added their own achievement tracking systems. Each of these companies, in one form or another began rewarding players for in-game accomplishments with a cute sound effect and a small bit of text. There's a lot of commentary and discussion about whether or not achievements and systems to track them have been good or bad for the industry as a whole; there can be no doubt that Valve, Microsoft and Sony have some major precedents, creating, in essence extrinsic motivators for in-game tasks. "Gamification." People devote quite a bit of time to explaining and trying to understand how achievements can be used to encourage certain kinds of actions for the player. Since the discussion began among academics and game designers, countless people have implemented these subtle psychological tricks into their systems and into their software, especially in the realm of social media. Websites like Klout and the prevalence of social games have only accelerated the spread of these techniques. Hell, Raptr even gamified games themselves. Gamification is used to help add to traditional MMOs, free to play games, not to mention the potential real-world applications. It's a big world out there. And, bit by bit, we're turning it into one big game. I'll admit to falling into the gamification trap, to a degree. Earlier this generation I was steered way from Wii games because there was no way to track my progress and show it off to friends. I use services like Yelp to try to get some of the badges, and that encourages me to check-in everywhere and earn coupons. These kinds of achievements are a sort-of sucker punch to our ancient monkey brains. They use little traits that we have picked up over the years to help us combat laziness. When we receive small rewards for things, we're more likely to keep doing them. It help keeps us engaged and active, and is a small safeguard against boredom. The issue here is one that relates to a lot of free-to-play titles, in that players are drawn in, then kept there by manipulating the natural way their brains are wired. It is disingenuous and manipulative, but as I see more and more studios closing their doors or getting bought up by the juggernauts, I can't help but think that for many it's their only choice. Achievements and such aren't universally bad, though. Valve, forever the innovator, has layered them into its games in ways that encourage exploration, unique ways of play or even using them to reinforce the events of a game. For example, in Half-Life 2 there's quite a few achievements for finding random things. This is used to encourage more lateral thinking as well as exploration of the environment. In Portal 2 (minor spoilers ahead) there's a chapter called "This is the part where he kills you," a character that says "This is the part where he kills you," and right before "he" kills you, an achievement pops-up with the same message. Similarly, at the end of the game, there's an achievement called "Lunacy" with the text "That just happened." Anyone who has finished the game knows just how ridiculous that scene is, and having that little friendly sound effect accompanied by some hilarious text, only serves to reinforce the experience. Achievements are something I guess I've learned to live with. I don't really like them, but at the same time, having some method of tracking progress on a website like Fitocracy has actually been pretty good for me overall. I've used gamification to my own advantage whenever possible and I feel like I'm steadily becoming a better person because of it. That said, I know now to avoid those products which I feel will try to manipulate me into investing more than I am ready or willing to.
Achievement unlocked!

We're revealing some exciting new material in a creative SEO talk.
Delphi (/ˈdɛlfaɪ/ or /ˈdɛlfi/; Greek: Δελφοί, [ðelˈfi]) is both an archaeological site and a modern town in Greece on the south-western spur of Mount Parnassus in the valley of Phocis. In myths dating to the classical period of Ancient Greece (510-323 BC), the site of Delphi was believed to be determined by Zeus when he sought to find the centre of his "Grandmother Earth" (Ge, Gaea, or Gaia). He sent two eagles flying from the eastern and western extremities, and the path of the eagles crossed over Delphi where the omphalos, or navel of Gaia was found.
Earlier myths include traditions that Pythia, or the Delphic oracle, already was the site of an important oracle in the pre-classical Greek world (as early as 1400 BC) and, rededicated from about 800 BCE, when it served as the major site during classical times for the worship of the god Apollo. Apollo was said to have slain Python, "a dragon" who lived there and protected the navel of the Earth. "Python" (derived from the verb πύθω (pythō), "to rot") is claimed by some to be the original name of the site in recognition of Python which Apollo defeated. The Homeric Hymn to Delphic Apollo recalled that the ancient name of this site had been Krisa. Others relate that it was named Pytho and that Pythia, the priestess serving as the oracle, was chosen from their ranks by a group of priestesses who officiated at the temple.

Americans love junk science to hint at who might win the White House.
There's the Redskins Rule. There's the sale of Halloween masks.
Two top Washington bakeries asked customers to put their money where their mouth is in an election season cupcake campaign. Both Georgetown Cupcake and The Sweet Lobby have been monitoring the sale of candidate-inspired confections.
Orders for Democrat red velvet cupcakes outsold Republican cakes by 10 percent at Georgetown Cupcake. At The Sweet Lobby, "Obamamac" macarons outsold "Romneymacs" by nearly 50 percent.
If this confection election is any indication how the rest of the country goes, it looks like sweet victory may belong to President Obama.

Windows Phone 8 will house 'Rooms' for meet ups and data sharing
One of the new features to be introduced on Windows Phone 8 will be a feature called Rooms. which will enable users to interact with other users in a private virtual space.
Attendees will be able to share information with each other, such as photos, calendar appointments and notes. Once a specific user has created a Room, they can in turn send a text message to all they wish to invite. By accepting the invitation each one will have access to that Room.
As well as file sharing, Rooms will allow participants to chat freely among themselves and according to The Verge, Microsoft will include a default "Best Friends" and "Family Room" in the Peoples Hub of the Windows Phone 8 operating system.
The current Windows Phone OS does already have a similar feature called Groups, but Rooms looks set to replace it and The Verge is speculating that we will see it officially unveiled at Nokia World that starts today.
Pocket-lint is at Nokia World so stay tuned for all the Nokia and Windows Phone 8 announcements.

By Allan D. Cors, President
If Gun Restrictions Were Applied to Technology, They Would Not Compute
What if computer owners were the object of Bloomberg's lies? What would be the public reaction if the government, claiming to prevent cyber-crime or digital terrorism, required all citizens to undergo an FBI background check before they could acquire or dispose of computers? What if the transfer of any computer without government approval were a felony? And what if not passing the background check—for reasons the government was under no obligation to divulge—made computer possession a criminal act?
The outrage would be overwhelming. After all, virtually all owners of digital devices and computers are neither terrorists nor criminals—they are just Americans exercising their First Amendment rights to free speech.
Most Americans own and use computers or cell phones—perhaps several—at home, at work or on the go. We buy them, trade them, sell them and give them as gifts. Smart phones, tablets and similar portable devices are now ubiquitous. And we periodically upgrade these devices to keep pace with improvements in technology.
Computers have become essential parts of our daily lives. They have brought us the greatest revolution in the history of free speech and as such are protected by the First Amendment.
As with firearms, in peaceable hands, they are a force for good.
But, as with firearms, computers can be used for criminal and evil ends. Fraud. Dissemination of child pornography. Cyber-bullying. Identity theft. And for life-and-death evil in our computer age, look no further than the sophisticated use of technology by ISIS to spread its horrific barbarism and recruit jihadists to fulfill their apocalyptic vision of destroying Western civilization through mass murder. These ISIS seventh-century monsters are very adept at using 21st century technology to achieve their evil ends.
For all of us who use our computers for commonplace purposes, there is the specter of hackers—cowardly operators who find joy and excitement in their malice of inflicting pain and damage on millions of innocent computer users worldwide.
If you've had your hard drive destroyed, lost emails, family photos, or had priceless work wiped out, corrupted or stolen, you know how damaging these attacks are.
Hackers, using computers as weapons, have stolen or compromised millions of private files: health records, Social Security numbers, bank records and credit records.
Protecting against these malicious intrusions is a multi-billion dollar business, involving tens of thousands of super-smart people working around the clock.
Add to this, worldwide massive law enforcement efforts to catch and punish cyber criminals. Virtually every aspect of hacking and terrorism has its consequences in criminal law. That's why it's called cybercrime.
No law can "prevent" cybercrime. And no law can "keep computers out of the hands of cybercriminals."
Again, what if the media and politicians were demanding that all computer owners pay the price for the acts of hackers?
Given that threat, anybody who owns a digital device would know that their liberty, their right to pursue happiness is at stake. They wouldn't stand for it.
But that is exactly the senseless threat gun owners face in states that billionaire Michael Bloomberg has targeted for ballot initiatives to criminalize all now-legal firearm transactions between law-abiding citizens with his deceit about "universal" background checks.
We know, and Bloomberg knows, that any aspect of commerce involving criminals is already covered by a very tough set of federal laws. It's a truth he hides from the public.
Making the innocent pay the price for the guilty when the guilty pay no price—that philosophy is at the very core of all gun control schemes.
For a peaceable person who owns a firearm, that concept is abundantly obvious. It is not obvious to non-gun owners, and that is the essence of Bloomberg's game plan.
With his multi-million dollar state-by-state ballot initiatives to force gun owners to submit to "universal" background checks for every now-legal firearm transaction, Bloomberg is counting on deceiving non-gun-owning voters into believing his snake-oil pitch.
He thinks those voters are stupid. They are not.
It is our obligation to reach those voters to explain the threat to our freedom in terms of what would be identical threats to their liberty.
Put in terms of computers, knives, cars, boats, stamps—anything used by ordinary people and abused by criminals—voters will understand the danger of Bloomberg's game. What criminals do with those objects has nothing to do with what good people do with them.
As NRA members, as the most well-informed voters in the nation, we can counter Bloomberg's deceit person to person. Bloomberg is counting on low-information or no-information voters. It's up to us to turn those friends, neighbors and acquaintances into high-information voters who understand the truth.

Some fantastic racing (PP, CC2, TT) and training (Jools, Muss, Dan (very jealous) and others).
Just some easy running for me - somewhere between 20 and 21 miles on Saturday morning and a short run to pick the car up yesterday. Tempted to have a go at the 3000m at Watford Open on Wednesday (a good chance to tick sub-9 off the list), but will see what the weather's looking like.
Can't believe it went 24hrs without a post - Dull would be horrified!
RS - that's a great run and confidence boost. I've never really tried such a training run, mainly as I would be too scared.
Muss - looks like you're still banging out some good training.
CW - absolute madness! Can't believe you're not sure if it was 100 or 101 reps. You could carry a bit of chalk a keep a tally on the wall at the top?
Although the legs weren't feeling too bad yesterday, I had a rest day as they felt a bit sore. Will just do something easy this evening.
PP - that's a great run in the 10k, close to 16 for the second 5k! My Po10 PB is 32:44 as you say, although I have run quicker in the midweek league we do (32:33), but for some reason they never go on Po10, despite have a proper measurement certificate etc.
TickTock - that's a solid 50M time, and well done for beating that guy even if it was unnecessary!
ES - nice run, particularly after those miles in the preceding days.
Quick update from me as I haven't been on for about a week.
Thursday was the last of our summer 10k league races. I felt like I was on decent form and it was a quick course so was hoping to break 32:30. We had the usual pack of 5, then I found myself at the front after 3k. 4-6k was into the wind and I didn't want to lead so slowed and slowed but no one would come past. At 6k one attacked and I couldn't really respond, and just didn't have good legs, finishing in 33:07 in 4th. No one ran particularly fast - it was really humid (vest was soaked at the end), so maybe that didn't help.
Some easy running and had a really good ride on the TT bike on Saturday morning, fastest average speed for a ride ever, including some hills.
Then yesterday I did the Fairlands Valley Challenge 50k as training for the 12 hour race in September. Almost all off-road and no course markings, so following a map and instructions. Ended up running most of it at the front with one other guy - he actually pulled away by a few secs in the last mile, but I wasn't particularly concerned about racing to the line! We got a bit lost at various points so ended up running just over 32M in 4:22. Pleased with that considering:
- long runs since London have been one of 17M and one of 21M (nothing else over 12M)- was still doing under 8m/m at the end, when terrain/map-reading allowed.- my legs don't feel too bad today.
DrD - 5M tempo is tough and the pace is bound to be affected if you've done a big week. Still a solid session though and sounds like you're on decent form given the 10M race.
PP - another good session, I used to do that one occasioanally, mainly when training for a HM.
Al_P - good effort, especially as it wasn't a "proper" race (where I think adrenalin makes a difference).
Muss - that sounds tough! Well done for getting through it, the next 20 miler will seem easy in comparison.
I was on a stag do, but managed to get to the Bath Skyline parkrun on Saturday. Obviously wasn't feeling great (was drinking until 2am), but managed to make it round in 2nd place in 17:01 (not a fast course, course record is 16:3x I think). A few miles before and after as well.
Then an even later night on Saturday, so did absolutely nothing yesterday other than drive home and watch sport all afternoon.
PP - very nice session. Yes, it's probably better to do the MP a bit slow and the threshold a bit fast, rather than the other way around (which would slightly defeat the point of the session). 10M of that would be tough, given 10M at MP is already tough! Wouldn't that be more like 56:27 though i.e. quite a bit under 57?
ES - no company for me last night! I was on the 3rd row back at the start (couldn't get any closer), and got stuck behind a few people wearing headphones etc. (aka numpties). By the time I got through them the front four were gone. I ran with another guy for about 2k but then dropped him and by the end I was about 30s behind 4th and 30s ahead of 6th. I wouldn't have beaten any of those 4 anyway so not really a problem.
Result was about 18:05, which is 7s slower than last year, but not bad considering the poor start and the fact that at about 4k a marshal shouted something at me that I couldn't make out, so I stopped and went back a bit (thinking he was telling me to go back around a lamppost I had just cut inside), but turned out he was telling a cyclist behind me to get off the course.
11.5M done in the end including the nearly 4M each way from Blackfriars with a heavy rucksack.
Then just over 20M on the bike this morning - decided to blast it a bit and averaged 21.5mph with a couple of decent hills.
ES - nice run. Seems like hardly any of the really fast guys were there last night, so I expect there will be plenty of quick guys this evening. Two of our best runners have dropped out (and expecting more due to the tube strike) so our team is looking fairly weak now.
Muss - nice tempo, but seems like you're doing a lot of hard running. Be careful not to push it too hard (quality-wise) - I tend to stick to a max of two hard sessions a week.
ES - yes, good luck getting there. My current plan is a 3M+ warm-up from Blackfriars along the riverside path. Have a good run if you make it!
And I've got a stag do near Bath on Friday/Saturday, affected by the train strikes - luckily I was planning on driving but others are hoping to get a train....
Dachs - it was probably the end of July one I was going for, but will check out the other dates too. Nice run there, although obviously annoying with the 0.23s!
ES - we've just lost a good runner to injury, so the team's not looking so good now. We never quite get our top team together, which is a shame as it could mean a free holiday if we did!
CW - fairly insane as usual! That'll teach you to jump up from the dinner table in a huff.
ES - we're on Thursday this year so will only be able to race you virtually. We've got a decent team this year (if they all turn up, which rarely happens), so hopefully we can get near the top again.
Official 3000m time was 9:02.2, so I must have done a decent last lap. PB by 4s, so very happy with that, but would be nice to go sub-9 this year, so I might go to a Watford Open in a few weeks.
Muss - looks like you're putting the work in, including a fair bit of faster stuff.
PP and CC2 - well done on the season's bests, both of which I expect you'll improve on pretty soon.
ES - can't complain about a PB! Made it into a nice long run too.
3000m for me on Saturday went well. I took the lead after about 600m (about 71s first lap) and ran fairly consistent 72/73 laps, but could hear one guy on my shoulder the whole way. He seemed to be slightly yoyo-ing though so I was hopeful he was struggling, and luckily he was, as I could only muster a small increase in pace at the bell but that was enough to drop him. Not sure of the final time yet, but I heard 7:52 shouted at the bell so I expect around 9:03. PB is 9:06 so unless some weird timing happened I should have improved on that. Kms were 3:00, 3:01 and probably about 3:02. Cycled there and back (only about 12M each way) to make it into a decent amount of training.
Then 20.5M off-road yesterday - not fast (just under 8m/m), but after the knees started to feel a bit sore at around 14M, I started feeling better again at about 17M and got into a nice steady rhythm that I think I could have maintained for a while longer.

Free iPhone app to help spot early signs of skin cancer
London: Apart from proving many other functions, your phone can now be your e-doctor as well, thanks to a new free iPhone app.
Developed at the University of Michigan Health System, the new free app allows users to use their phone's camera to check for early signs of skin cancer.
It works by creating a photographic baseline of their skin, a newspaper reported.
Should suspicious moles or other skin lesions be spotted, the app can walk users through a self exam.
Called UMSkinCheck, it even sends automatic reminders so users can monitor changes to a skin lesion over time.
The app also provides pictures of various types of skin cancers for comparisons.
"Whole body photography is a well-established resource for following patients at risk for melanoma," said Michael Sabel, associate professor of surgery at the U-M Medical School, who was the lead doctor involved in developing the app.
"However, it requires a professional photographer, is not always covered by insurance, and can be an inconvenience.
"Now that many people have digital cameras on their phones, it's more feasible to do this at home," he added.
Regular skin checks can help people discover melanoma in its earliest stages, doctors agree.
The app, a collaboration of the University of Michigan's technology and clinical expertise, guides users through a series of 23 photos, covering the body from head to toe.
Photos are stored within the app and serve as a baseline for future comparisons.
If a mole appears to be changing or growing, the photos can then be shared with a dermatologist to help determine whether a biopsy is necessary.
"We recommend skin self-exams for everyone in order to detect skin cancer at the earliest stages, when treatment is less invasive and more successful," said Sabel.
"If you have fair skin or burn easily, have had sunburns in the past or used tanning beds, or have a family history of melanoma, you are considered high-risk, and so it's even more important," he added.
