Greetings Nerds,
This website has not been updated in a grip but that's because all you tech savy kids these days like to click around on your tumblrs and your twitters and your facebooks and your soundclouds and whatnot. All that has remained updated. If you are of the traditionalist ilk and you still like to check a good ol fashioned official website, welp... my apologies. I will be better about this. Promise.
Sooo, long story short:
We lost three members. We gained three members. We made a record. We lost two members. We gained two members. We have a song placement in that tv show Nashville which airs tomorrow night at 10/9c on ABC. And we finally have a record coming out sometime in the Spring of 2015. Stay tuned...
Would it be pretentious to do a quadruple album? Yeah, probably. Can't wait to pick ten or so of these and go lay em down in beautiful Berkeley, CA early next year. Stay tuned...............
NYC essentially kicked me in the shins, stole my wallet and sent me packing. Apparently, I'm not a city dweller. But that's okay! I'm back home in my beautiful town of Lawrence, KS and ready to work work work. Full instrumentation demos will commence this week for our next album, tentatively titled "Thick Blood". The album is about girls, jobs, drinking, the quotidian tumult and existential dread. Sounds heavy, huh? The songs are quieter and shorter and prettier and more elegant than anything I've written before. I think. I hope. Stay rad!
I want to offer my sincerest gratitude to Seth Wiess, Kris Losure and Tyler Brown for playing music with me this year and just generally being rad dudes. Together, we conquered (in our own humble way) over 20 U.S. cities and there was not a single blow-up, fight or squabble -- nothing but good, pure vibes. These three men have reinvigorated my love of playing music in a live setting and I'm forever grateful.
But now I'm being summoned by that big shiny city of NY -- all steel and glass, grit and sass. A new version of The Roseline will form, new songs will be sung, and a new chapter begins. Here goes nothin'...
Sooo much going on at Camp Roseline right now! First of all, Colin has completed writing (what he anticipates) will be the songs for the next record. It is tentatively titled, "Thick Blood", which at first glance sounds pretty fucking metal but really is just some vague reference to a lyric on the record about something or other. And he just thought is sounded cool. Isn't that justification enough anymore? Also, The Roseline is relocating to Brooklyn, NY in August -- hence the title of this news post. Why, you ask? Because Brooklyn is the hippest place on Earth and what's hipper than an alt-country band who constantly apes Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Whiskeytown and Tom Petty? Nothing! But before we leave we will be partaking in a mini-tour of the midwest in late July (check our tour dates). Come see us before we all get Hitler youth haircuts and start talking about how "perfectly New York" that one Glen Branca album is.
We are back from our healthy tour of the Western portion of the U.S. We are tired, filthy and going through Mexican food/alcohol withdrawals. The tour was too much fun and I can't thank enough people that helped us out by buying cds or tshirts, putting us up in their homes, cooking for us, or simply politely clapping at a show. Our faith in humanity has been restored!
So what now, you ask? We are currently booking a midwest tour for June and Colin is recording a bunch of demos of new songs for the boys to learn. Can't stop! Won't stop! Shine on you crazy diamonds!
Today is Day 1 of touring to support the new record, Vast As Sky, which can be conveniently bought HERE. To kick things off we play the Replay Lounge in Roseline home base, Lawrence, KS. From there will be hitting the majority of the western U.S.! Head over to the 'tour' page to see the full schedule and make sure to let us us know if we'll be seeing you at one of the shows. Also, don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the max amount of updates conceivably possible.
Vast As Sky is officially out now throughout the digital world! You can grab it on iTunes HERE. If you grab it online be sure to rate and review the record and remember to check our tour dates where you can buy a phsical copy. Thanks in advance for all the support.
But wait, there's more. Read up as The Pitch caught up to talk with Colin about "starting over" HERE.
Greetings! Check out our new digs. Handsome, eh? We're all swagged out with a new website, label and album that's coming out on March 27th. Two days later, on the 29th, we will be celebrating the release of said record at The Replay Lounge in our lovely hometown of Lawrence, KS. Immediately following that show we leave for a healthy tour which heads west. Woohoo! Stay tuned...

Put Yourself in the Right Position
No matter what sports you play, you know how important good positioning is. And NWU holds a unique position in intercollegiate athletics.
Like every other school in the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC), Nebraska Wesleyan University is part of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). But NWU is the only GPAC school to also compete in NCAA Division III.
Our NCAA affiliation puts you in position to compete on a bigger stage.
And our emphasis on academics puts you in position to pursue a truly excellent education as you continue competing athletically.
A Leader in Academic All-Americans
Nebraska Wesleyan University ranks among the all-time leaders in the entire nation, regardless of college division (NCAA Division I, II, III and NAIA), with 80 student-athletes winning a combined 119 CoSIDA Academic All-America awards.
This total ranks NWU 10th among all schools and fourth among NCAA Division III institutions. Nebraska Wesleyan holds nearly 100 more Academic All-America awards than its nearest competitor within the GPAC. Nebraska Wesleyan produced nine CoSIDA Academic All-Americans during the 2011-12 school year including seven football Academic All-Americans, one men's basketball player and one women's basketball player.
Since 2000, NWU has produced 56 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, which also ranks in the top 15 in the nation.
Athletic Facilities
Wesleyan student-athletes train and compete in excellent facilities.
Recent upgrades in Abel Stadium include a big screen, expanded press box, and a new Mondo surface track.
The Weary Center for Health and Fitness houses the 2,350-seat Snyder Arena, an outstanding athletic training program, an aerobics/dance exercise room, an Olympic-size pool, racquetball courts, and a top-notch circuit room and weight room. Technology in the weight room like camera-equipped squat boxes helps you get the most out of your workouts. The Weary Center also offers a voluntary bike checkout program.
See a complete list of our athletic facilities or schedule a visit to see them in person.
Intramural Sports
Intramural sports help hard-working students keep active and fit, meet classmates, and have fun competing in the sports you love. This comprehensive program offers individual and team sports through organized leagues, tournaments, and special events. Many sports offer both competitive and just-for-fun leagues.

Three Lincolnshire girls injured in horrific car crash in Thailand
Posted: January 31, 2013|
A paradise break in Thailand became a holiday from hell when three Lincolnshire women were involved in a horrific car smash.
Kayleigh Waugh, from Welton, is now laid up in hospital in Bangkok after suffering a broken back.
Her close friends Ruth Ginn and Natasha Smith sustained whiplash injuries in the accident.
The crash happened when their taxi, which was taking them to Bangkok airport to return home, collided with a car which had crossed lanes on a dual carriageway.
David Ginn, Ruth's father, said: "We received a call at home at around 6am on the Monday morning. It was Ruth and she was very tearful.
"We're very lucky Ruth only has minor injuries. It's a parent's nightmare when their kids are a long way from home and an accident happens.
"Ruth has some bruising in the abdominal area and a bit of whiplash but obviously it is Kayleigh and her family we really feel for. Anything could have happened with a crash like this."
Kayleigh fractured her lower thoracic and upper lumbar spine in the accident. The driver escaped serious injury.
She will now remain in hospital for at least another week as she recovers from surgery.
Medics are also waiting to see if Kayleigh has delayed internal injuries before making a decision on discharging her.
She will also have to wait for police and medical reports to be filed.
From her bed in Bangkok hospital, Kayleigh used Facebook to reassure her friends and family she is OK.
"Thank you so much to everyone for all the comments and texts – I am absolutely overwhelmed," she wrote.
"Reading through them is definitely helping me keep positive. My back has been screwed and pinned back into place and is stable now – although I'm being observed in case of delayed internal injuries.
"The hospital has been really great and the doctors and nurses are all very kind."

The test will involve the launch of an Orbital Suborbital Program (OSP) long-range missile from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The OSP, a modified Minuteman II intercontinental ballistic missile, will carry a mock warhead and decoys. About 20 minutes after the target missile is launched, and about 4,800 miles away, a Payload Launch Vehicle missile carrying an exoatmospheric kill vehicle (EKV) interceptor will launch from the Ronald Reagan Missile Test Facility at Kwajalein Atoll, in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Within 10 minutes after the launch, the intercept is expected to take place at an altitude of approximately 140 miles above the central Pacific Ocean during the midcourse phase of the target warhead's flight.
This will be an integrated system test, with all representative system elements participating: Space-based missile warning sensor; ground-based early warning radar, the prototype X-Band radar at Kwajalein Atoll and the battle management, command, control and communications system located at Kwajalein Atoll and the Joint National Integration Facility in Colorado Springs, Colo. Since the system is in its research and development phase, these elements serve as either prototypes or surrogates for system elements which are in the developmental stage and have not yet been produced for actual operational use.
A U.S. Navy Aegis cruiser, USS LAKE ERIE, will participate in the test, using its SPY-1 radar to track the target missile. While the cruiser's radar will not take part in directing the interceptor to its target, the data gathered will be used to ascertain the potential role the SPY-1 radar and the Aegis weapon system could play against long-range targets, as well as provide preparation for Aegis tracking support to GMD as part of the ballistic missile defense system Pacific Ocean test bed and a potential future operational system.
This flight test will also involve for the first time a developmental radar that is representative of the radar currently used for the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. The TPS-X Radar is a high-resolution, X-band phased array radar, originally developed during the program definition and risk reduction phase of the THAAD program. It has been configured as an instrumentation sensor, and will be located at Vandenberg Air Force Base, where it will observe the initial phases of the IFT-10 flight to collect data to investigate the radar's potential to support a ballistic missile defense system.
Also for the first time, the airborne laser prototype, a modified Boeing 747-400 freighter aircraft now being developed to use a series of chemical lasers to shoot down a ballistic missile soon after it is launched, will participate in the flight test. Although no lasers are yet installed on the aircraft, the ABL will use its on-board sensors to locate and track the boosting target missile during the first minutes of its flight in order to test the capabilities of the sensors. As with the Aegis cruiser, neither the THAAD radar or the ABL will direct the interceptor to the target, but will collect data to assess their potential contribution to a layered and integrated missile defense system.
This will be the eighth intercept test of the GMD research and development program. The first test on Oct. 3, 1999, resulted in the successful intercept of a ballistic missile target. The second test took place on Jan. 19, 2000, and did not achieve an intercept due to a clogged cooling pipe on the EKV, but did successfully test the integrated system of elements. The third test, on July 8, 2000, did not result in an intercept due an unsuccessful separation of the EKV from the booster rocket. The fourth test, on July 14, 2001, achieved a successful intercept of a ballistic missile target, as did tests on Dec. 3, 2001, and March 15, 2002. The successful test on Oct. 14, 2002 included the use of a ship-based SPY-1 radar for the first time to track a long-range target missile. The last four tests used all GMD system elements as part of an integrated flight test.

"Fight with K.Michelle for camera time was the strategy for this season," K.Michelle tweeted. Getting extra camera time aside, K's not the only one with beef. There's a little tofu and stir fry in the mix, but the beef is especially tasty.
Who's beefing with who? Who had beef but made amends? Who may potentially end up beefing in the near future? It's hard to keep up! K.Michelle's beef list is the longest by far including who she's made amends with. Can we even call Erica's never ending quarrel with Momma Dee a legitimate beef since Momma Dee is old enough to be her mother? In love and
war hip-hop the rivalries are bound to be abundant. And so you can keep up with it all, we've compiled beefs, whose made up and predictions of who hasn't beefed but will. This will be ongoing as the season gets juicier, so be sure to check back for the latest updates. It's getting real in these streets.
K.Michelle and Ariane
Sleeping with your homegirl's ex is basically the quickest way to end a friendship. To add insult to injury you definitely don't blast it on the radio without telling your friend. K.Michelle still doesn't think Ariane realizes why this was wrong.
K.Michelle and Rasheeda
Teasing Kirk had Rasheeda heated. She walked up on K.Michelle as if she wanted to fight, but instead was waxed with a candle. It's safe to assume they'll never be friends.
K.Michelle and Kirk
We get it. Kirk wants to be the good husband and protect his wife. But nothing good will come of him approaching K. Men should stay out of women's beefs.

Dental technicians have threatened to occupy the Health Ministry office in Jakarta to protest against a recently enacted ban on them doing actual dentistry work.
The decree, issued last year, stipulated that dental and orthodontic services may only be provided by certified dentists and not by dental technicians, who are only licensed to make dentures.
"If [the decree] is still enforced, members of the ITGI [Indonesian Dental Technician Association] from across Indonesia will occupy the institution enacting it, in this case the Health Ministry in Jakarta," ITGI secretary general Faisol Abrori said on Wednesday.
He said nearly all dental technicians, estimated at 75,000 nationwide, would be out of work if the decree was enforced. "We have no other work to do," he said.
On Wednesday, some 400 ITGI members rallied in Jakarta, starting their demonstration at 9 a.m. in front of the National Monument (Monas) park before marching to the office of the National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM).
The ITGI submitted a formal complaint to Komnas HAM, saying the decree violated their constitutional rights.
"We object to the enactment [of the decree]," Faisol said. "It violates Article 28(a) of the 1945 Constitution, on our right to live and to have a livelihood."
Dental technicians taking part in the rally carried banners and false teeth while shouting "Long live dental technicians."
"We have 75,000 members and all of them could lose their jobs," said ITGI chairman Hasan Busri. "They are the sole breadwinners in their families."
Komnas HAM deputy chairman Joseph Adi Prasetyo met with the ITGI representatives and promised to raise their concerns with the Health Ministry.
With few community health centers offering dental services, lower-income residents frequently go to dental technicians because they are cheaper than dentists.
Dental technicians are craftsmen employed by dentists to make false teeth and braces, but with demand for cheap dental care growing, the technicians are taking on patients and performing anything from root canals to orthodontic procedures.
In 1969, the government banned dental technicians from performing any dental or orthodontic services, but a 1989 decree eased the restrictions, allowing them to make dentures and fit them for patients.
Last year's decree nullified the 1989 ministerial decree but dental technicians who obtained their licenses based on the earlier decree will be allowed to continue practicing, albeit under tight supervision, until their license expires, after which they will not be eligible for an extension.

Mark Naison: During the 1960's, New York city was the scene of an incredibly powerful anti-war and student movement. Like Occupy Wall Street, this movement was often attacked for being unrepresentative of the city's working class. In reality, this movement was far more diverse in class and race than critics at the time, or historians, realized.
Student Activists Deserve Our Thanks
Public Universities Join Attack on Progressive Activism
Randy Shaw: Just as Governor Walker is making headlines by attacking a liberal institution in a traditionally liberal state (you would not likely see nationwide protests over attacks on workers in Alabama or Georgia), school administrators in progressive cities like Santa Cruz and Santa Monica are also attacking progressive student activism.

About two miles south of Gettysburg, PA and 6 miles north of the Mason-Dixon Line, McAllister's Mill provided shelter to hundreds of freedom seekers during the years leading up to the Civil War, including some delivered to the site by nationally-recognized Underground Railroad conductor, William L. Chaplin. After receiving assistance at the late 18th century grist mill, the formerly enslaved were guided north about 10 miles to the homes of free African Americans and Quaker Abolitionists, forming critical links in one of the earliest regional networks of the Underground Railroad in the nation. Milling operations ceased at the site in the 19th century. The property now includes remnants of the mill building and related mill structures, all set amid large boulders that line Rock Creek in a densely wooded area where the mill once stood.
On July 4, 1836, McAllister's Mill was the site of an early and significant gathering of Abolitionists in Pennsylvania.
Chaired by mill owner and farmer James McAllister, Jr., the group agreed to publish bold anti-slavery principles, which were reportedly ghostwritten by Gettysburg attorney and later U.S. Congressman Thaddeus Stevens. This meeting led to the formation of the Adams County Anti-Slavery Society within six month.

|Location: Christmas Island - Central Pacific Ocean
Season: Bonefishing is available year-round on Christmas Island due to the remarkably stable weather.
Capacity: 18 Anglers per week.
Putting Christmas Island to words is a bit like catching the proverbial moonbeam in a bottle -- it's difficult to do justice to the island's magnificent fishery and to capture the kaleidoscope of experiences. Christmas Island has become our single most reliable year-round destination for bonefishing. Fishing is only part of this Pacific travel adventure.
No matter what you've heard or read about Christmas Island, it remains a unique experience. It's still fresh and unpressured. If you like light-tackle action in a marvelous warm-weather climate, this is the place to find it -- plus, it's still a genuine value in today's fishing world.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Ed BrockAfter an hour of heated discussion, a crowd of Forest Park residents indicated by straw poll that they would pay more to keep the city in the garbage collection business. The crowd filled the municipal courtroom at the Forest Park police headquarters Friday night for the first of three public hearings on the city's plan to contract with Waste Management for its garbage and trash collection. Forest Park Director of Public Works Mike Gippert had barely begun his presentation on the subject before members of the audience began making negative comments. In the presentation, Gippert was to tell the audience that the city is losing money on the sanitation business. If the city continues to provide the service, they would have to increase fees from $180 a year to $240 annually, Gippert said, and they would have to change the process for collecting yard waste, such as limbs and leaves. Under the contract with Waste Management the price and service would stay the same, Gippert said. The city would have two supervisors overseeing the company's work and taking complaints from the residents, and there would be benefits, such as more free pickup for bulk items and a $10,000 annual grant that the city could use for any purpose. Gippert's mention that residents would continue to pay the same $15 a month rate for at least the first three years of the contract seemed to cause doubt for 70-year-old Robert Tomlin. "Is that firm? Not after three months are they going to raise it?" Tomlin asked. Donald Mulky, 60, called into question the service that Waste Management would provide. "You do not have the same garbage man every dayé they don't care what they pick up," Mulky said. Tomlin also asked Gippert why Waste Management could provide the service at the same cost and the city couldn't. "Because of the fact that we do not own our own landfill," Gippert responded. Ken Houseworth, 70, told Gippert it sounded like the city had already made up its mind, but Gippert said the plan was just a proposal. At one point, Corine Deyton, former city councilwoman, stood up to protest the plan. "I don't mind losing money if we can provide a good service to the people," Deyton said. "That's what the city is all about." Deyton also mentioned that Waste Management trucks are already going in and out of the company's transfer station near Lamar Drive at all times of the day and night, disturbing the residents of the "Rose Town" area. "We have to take a little loss when we're a municipality," Deyton said. "I'm not in favor of this at all." Also, Deyton said the city should look at cutting corners elsewhere. Resident and former council member John Buckholts suggested cutting pickups to once a week during the winter, as it was before. "If it continues to be a problem, we may have to go to privatization," Buckholts said. Forest Park Mayor Chuck Hall stood up to say that the city could be losing up to $800,000 from the county's Local Option Sales Tax due to legislation exempting Delta Air Lines from parts of the tax. "Where do we make up that kind of revenue?" Hall asked Deyton and the crowd. "We have some financial situations we have to deal with." One member of the audience did stand up in support of the plan. Bob Hardy, a resident of Jonesboro who owns a company called Uniway on Old Dixie Highway in Forest Park, said Waste Management would provide equal service for less. "I don't want the mayor and council raising my fees because they're losing money on sanitation," Hardy said. After the meeting, Hall said he gathered that the crowd was willing to pay more to keep the city's sanitation service. "If that's the consensus (after the remaining two public meetings) where they want to go, that's an issue we have to look at," Hall said. The city council would then have to consider an ordinance that would increase the rates, Hall added. The second meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight at the police headquarters, 320 Cash Memorial Drive, and the last meeting will be at 10 a.m. Thursday at the same location. Residents can express their opinion on the subject by calling city hall at (404) 366-4720 and asking to speak with Hall or Gippert.

There is actual footage of the incident on youtube:

They used a battery of DSHKs and other MG's in an agricultural trailer.
I wonder if some researcher was told to get the video and edit it and picked the wrong one?
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, ITV? I hope BIS will sue them for millions of billions :P. Lazy-ass mother****ers. This is unbelievably funny and troubling at the same time.
Here's some news coverage, I hope other medias will pick it up too and not just the gaming media. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/27/it...cret-ira-film/
It's hard to imagine them not being able to tell the difference between a game and reality, man that reporter must be blind.

Wow that's quite low of ITV to use Arma2 like that.
I've posted the links from the OP on my FB account, there's a few media types on my friends list so hopefully it'll make it's way onto some mainstream uk news.
It could turn out to be a nice bit of advertising for BIS.
They might as well use this real life footage to make a documentary about battle-bus in Afghanistan.
People must know!

Today kicks off a new Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge (PPA151) with a clever design by Margaret Moody. Sketches are one of my favorite ways to get a card design off the starting blocks. Check out what the PPA Resident Artists have created with Margaret's sketch HERE and play along!
- I love the look of the Secret Garden (Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog) line images stamped on patterned paper. The coordinating Secret Garden Framelits make cropping them a snap.
- Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels give the flower centers a touch of bling!
- Tone on tone stamping (matching ink and card stock) produces a soft and pretty background on the Soft Suede layer.
- The only stitching you'll ever see on one of my cards is going to be faux (but I appreciate those who make the effort). Frankly, I don't even own a sewing machine. I used the cross stitch embossing design from Stampin' Up! Needlepoint Border Embossing Folders for my faux finish.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
23 skidoo (sometimes 23 skiddoo) is an American slang phrase popularized in the early twentieth century, first appearing before World War I and becoming popular in the Roaring Twenties. It generally refers to leaving quickly. One nuance of the phrase suggests being rushed out by someone else. Another is taking advantage of a propitious opportunity to leave, that is, "getting [out] while the getting's good."
Wentworth and Flexner describe it as "perhaps the first truly national fad expression and one of the most popular fad expressions to appear in the U.S." They say "Pennants and arm-bands at shore resorts, parks, and county fairs bore either [23] or the word 'Skiddoo.'"[1]
There are several stories suggesting the origin of the phrase, none that have been universally accepted. Cartoonist "TAD" (Thomas A. Dorgan) is credited by The New York Times in his obituary as "First to say 'Twenty-three, Skidoo.'"[2] One source says that baseball player Mike Donlin and comedian Tom Lewis created the expression as part of their vaudeville act.[3]
Another source of the term has been rumored to come from the area around the Flatiron Building on 23rd street in NYC. Apparently, winds would swirl around the building and in the roaring 20's groups of men would gather to watch women walk by with their skirts being blown up by the winds. The police would then ask the men to break-it-up and leave... hence the term 23 skidoo. However the Flatiron building was completed in 1902 and the slang phrase "23" was already in use, see below.
An article in the June 26, 1906 New York American credits the phrase to one Patsey Marlson, then a former jockey hauled into court on a misdemeanor charge. At his hearing, Marlson is asked by the judge how the expression came about. He explains that when he was a jockey, he worked at a track called Sheepshead Bay. The track only had room for 22 horses to start in a line. If a 23rd horse was added, the long shot would be lined up behind the 22 horses on the front line. Apparently, "23 skidoo" implied that if the horse in the back was to have any chance of winning, it would really have to run very hard. Marlson also says in the article that the expression was originally "23, skidoo for you."
Webster's New World Dictionary derives skiddoo (with two d's) as probably from skedaddle, meaning "to leave", with an imperative sense.
- ^Wentworth, Harold; Stuart Berg Flexner (1960). Dictionary of American Slang. Thomas Y. Crowell.
- ^ "'Tad,' Cartoonist, Dies In His Sleep. Thomas A. Dorgan, Famous For His 'Indoor Sports,' Victim of Heart Disease. Was A Shut-In For Years. Worked Cheerfully at Home in Great Neck on Drawings That Amused Countless Thousands." The New York Times, May 3, 1929 p. 21: "His slangy breeziness won immediate circulation. It was he who first said 'Twenty-three, Skidoo,' and 'Yes, we have no bananas,' 'apple sauce' and 'solid ivory.' Other expressions that are now part of the American vernacular include 'cake-eater,' 'drug-store cowboy,' 'storm and strife,' 'Dumb Dora,' 'dumb-bell,' 'finale hopper,' 'Benny' for hat and 'dogs' for shoes."

Is Susan Boyle as naive as she may seem?
The British singing sensation confessed, in an interview that aired Thursday on the TV show "Extra," that she was just joking when she told judge Simon Cowell on the U.K. reality TV show, "Britain's Got Talent," that she had "never been kissed."
"It was meant as a joke," she told Terri Seymour, a reporter for "Extra" and Cowell's ex-girlfriend. "I've got a wicked sense of humor, you know!"
Even Boyle's frumpy appearance -- she's been dubbed the "hairy angel" by the British press for her frizzy brown hair and bushy eyebrows -- seems more well-groomed these days, though she told Seymour, "I wouldn't like to change anything. I'm perfect the way I am."
Britain's Daily Mail on Thursday ran a picture of Boyle with noticeably thinner eyebrows under the headline, "No Longer a Hairy Angel."
The day before, Boyle was photographed wearing a leather-like jacket over a bright patterned dress and faux beads -- a huge update from the beige, lace, prom-inspired dress she wore for her audition on the show.
Now, some on the Internet are grumbling that Boyle may have been too good to be true. When she burst on the world stage -- a YouTube video of her performance has been viewed more than 100 million times -- she was a diamond in the rough. As more details of her life in the tiny Scottish village of Blackburn emerge, some are starting to question just how innocent Boyle is.
But her singing inspiration, British theater legend Elaine Page, believes Boyle is just as humble as she seems.
"She's a country girl, and I think she just has the most lovely, natural voice," Page said on "Good Morning America." "She's very open in her performance ... in such gloomy times that we're all sort of living through at the moment, economically speaking, she was a breath of fresh air."
And villager Jackie Ruffel told ABCNews.com, "She's definitely the real deal, sweet innocent Susan."
Boyle told the "Britain's Got Talent" presenters that she was single and living with her cat Pebbles.
"I've never had a boyfriend," she said. "I've never even been kissed."
The most "GMA" could get from Boyle in an interview last week was "no comment" on the subject of romance.
Ruffel said any talk of Boyle being disingenuous is the media much ado about nothing.
"She's had a kiss but nothing romantic, she's not had any romantic involvement with anybody," said Ruffel, who manages the Happy Valley Hotel, where Boyle is a pub regular. "She took care of her mom. The rest of the family all got married and moved away, but Susan always remained in the house looking after her mother. When her mom passed away, she kind of withdrew into herself."
Boyle's withdrawal included retreating from her music for two years.
According to the British media, Boyle's mom Bridget always encouraged her daughter to take part in regional singing competitions. Boyle also performed in her church choir from the age of 12 and, when she was older, sang karaoke in local pubs.
In 1995, she auditioned for another British television talent show but told the London Times on Sunday that she was "too nervous" and never made it on television.
Afterward, Boyle signed up for singing lessons with local voice coach Fred O'Neil and in 2000 she sang "Cry Me a River" for a charity CD, her only previous recording. Last August, when she heard about auditions for "Britain's Got Talent," she decided to go for it.

Should We Be Afraid of Russia - Have Your Say on BBC World Service
The BBC forum for commentary is located here and the link to listen to the radio program should be here. Select the World Service Radio link.
The rumor is that LR (I'm not about to link to that bigot) was also invited, but refused due to Mike Averko among the guests. I suppose that might have possibly meant they would have to be in the same room together.
Update: The program went well and was worth the time to listen. I'll post some excerpts after the BBC posts a sound file of the program. People can read or listen to the program here.

President Obama will unveil today a major wireless initiative aimed at bringing wireless access to 98 percent of the country within five years, building a national public safety broadband network, and promoting wireless innovation and research and development.
Obama will detail his Wireless Innovation and Infrastructure Initiative during a speech today at Northern Michigan University in Marquette, Mich., where he will highlight how local businesses there have benefited from having access to broadband. Last June, Obama endorsed the Federal Communications Commission's goal of freeing up 500 megahertz of spectrum over the next decade for wireless broadband and other technologies.
"Taken together, [the latest proposal] makes better use of our existing spectrum and resources," Jason Furman, deputy director of the National Economic Council, said in a conference call late Wednesday.
As part of this initiative, the White House has embraced a FCC proposal that calls for legislation to allow the agency to conduct incentive auctions, which are aimed at incentivizing broadcasters and other commercial spectrum users to give up some of their airwaves in exchange for a portion of the auction proceeds.
Broadcasters have said they support incentive auctions as long as they are truly voluntary and do not jeopardize free over-the-air television for consumers.
The incentive auction proposal along with the auction of spectrum from some government users is expected to net a total of $27.8 billion over the next decade, $9.6 billion of which would go toward deficit reduction, White House officials said.
The $27.8 billion is the amount the government would net after giving broadcasters and others who relinquish some of their spectrum a share in the auction proceeds and pay the costs of relocating or consolidating federal spectrum users into different bands. The officials did not detail how much money they expect to generate from spectrum auctions or how much would go to broadcasters for giving up some of their spectrum.
White House officials said $10.7 billion of the $27.8 billion also would help build an interoperable public safety broadband network, a proposal that was first called for by the commission that investigated the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, after the event exposed problems facing first-responder communications.
In addition, the president's wireless initiative also reiterates the White House's call for reallocating a controversial chunk of spectrum known as the D-Block to public safety officials, as they have been demanding, for the creation of the public safety network instead of auctioning off the D-Block to commercial users as required by current law. Proposals have been introduced in the last Congress and this year to re-allocate the D-Block to public safety officials.
However, some GOP lawmakers on the House Energy and Commerce Committee have resisted calls to re-allocate the D-Block to public safety and instead say the spectrum should be auctioned off to commercial bidders as planned and use the proceeds for deficit reduction.
Other aspects of the White House proposal call for providing a one-time $5 billion infusion to the FCC's universal service fund to help pay for capital costs in the build out of 4G wireless technologies in rural areas. The FCC approved on Tuesday the first step in a proposal to transform the universal service fund, which now subsidizes telephone service in rural areas, to support broadband service. Officials said the White House proposal would compliment the FCC's efforts, and also contribute to the build out of the public safety network in rural areas by utilizing some of the same wireless towers used for commercial wireless coverage.
"Extending access to high-speed wireless not only provides a valuable service to Americans living in those areas—access to medical tests, online courses, and applications that have not yet been invented—but also catalyzes economic growth by enabling consumers and businesses living in those areas to participate in the 21st century economy," according to a White House fact sheet on the proposal.
A final component of the White House plan calls for investing $3 billion in a Wireless Innovation Fund, which would support "basic research, experimentation and testbeds, and applied development in a number of areas, including public safety, education, energy, health, transportation, and economic development."
Federal Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra said the fund will ensure "we are investing in new technologies and applications to allow us to build the next generation of wireless networks."

Brand identity
This restaurant chain started with a simple idea: bring together traditional and contemporary aspects of Greek culture and cuisine. End of Work was given the task of translating this into a strong brand and visual identity.
The concept we devised was based on 'modern authenticity'. Identity and interior work together seamlessly thanks to 'identity boards' created for the restaurant walls. These modular wooden panels feature Greek sayings, translated back into English – an exercise that made for some humorous results. Black and white family photos were incorporated into these boards, adding a sense of quaint nostalgia. End of Work also created a 10-foot high typographic map comprised of three layers of sculpted typographic words. Intricately laser-cut from plywood, it created a show-stopping centerpiece for the restaurant itself.
From its architecturally inspired logo to laser-etched plywood menus and innovative 'matchbook' business cards, every facet of Meet the Greek's identity was designed to be unique, quirky and engaging.

Back in the day, Chuck Haytaian killed the bill that would have allowed sports betting in NJ...it didn't even get to the General Assembly for a vote because of him.
Two young kids try to escape the heat, and this is how it turns out...unbelievably sad for all involved..what a horrible, horrible story :(
@llumpirenj "Two gays uniting together will never be marriage because they provide no value to society"
You would actually post that for all to see, you stupid, intolerant idiot? And what do you base your opinions on? You provide no value to society, and your post proves it. Jerkoff.
"the lawsuit filed by the family of Steven Domalewski claims Kentucky-based bat maker Hillerich & Bradsby Co., national retailer The Sports Authority Inc.; Little League Inc.; and New Jersey Little League are responsible for their son's injuries"
I don't think so. How about Nancy Domalewski and her husband are directly responsible for their son's injuries by allowing him to participate in an activity that has inherent risks? I'm sorry for Steven and hope he has a decent life, but you take a risk when you participate in sports, and sometimes horrible things happen. Most posters here seem to be concentrating on the fact that they're suing the manufacturer of the bat (which is ridiculous), but I'm more concerned that she's being allowed to sue Little League Inc. and their New Jersey chapter. What did they do wrong...allow their son to participate?! Every aspect of this lawsuit is ludicrous...I can't wait to see the outcome.
He'll be taken care of inside to be sure...his 4 years, if he's not killed by then, will be a living hell.
@takeback LOL at "physical requirements" after they're hired...what a joke, huh? I could outrun, and outlast, half the out of shape cops I see...they're an embarrassment to their entire department.
Kidnap a baby and keep it for 23, years and you get a 12 year sentence. Hit somebody with a plastic stick and a piece of cable, and you get 22 years. Incredible...
@Justin...So therefore, by your logic, a woman whose bra strap is showing should be kicked off a plane/bus/train etc. because some worker doesn't like it? I have a clue. You, obviously, are ignorant.
@cmag1971 Cut me a break...obviously I mean illegally and with ill intent. I'm all for right to carry laws, but those haven't materialized correctly yet in NJ. The cops were completely wrong in shooting this guy after the threat was neutralized, but that doesn't take away from the fact that this guy acted recklessly in the first place and brought this upon himself. If any of the "eight gang members" had a real gun on them, this guy would be dead, not paralyzed. I'm all for responsible gun ownership, but that wasn't the case here.
The Short Hills Mall attracts approximately 11 million visitors yearly, yet there are no traffic problems at all except around the holidays, and those are a minimal inconvenience. Rt. 3 is a disaster every day of the week, and on game days/concert nights etc. it is a giant parking lot. Forcing Triple Five Worldwide to widen Rt. 3 and improve vehicular access should be a requirement, along with the mass transit improvements. Making more buses and trains available to get there is fine for those living in the cities, like Newark and Summit, that have major transit centers, but it does nothing for those of us who live in the suburbs. It would be much faster (and cheaper) for me and others to drive to American Dream, than it would be to drive to a train station, pay to park, pay for a ticket, transfer trains at some point, and finally reach the mall. Improvements to the roadways and all access points, to this mega-complex should absolutely be a condition of construction. The teams are going about it in the wrong way, IMO, but their point is valid.
Triple Five, Inc. isn't upholding their end of the contract to improve the traffic nightmare, but it's the teams that are "anti-New Jersey"? Widen Rt. 3, increase the number of trains and buses, and the problem goes away.
Moronic decision by all the Freeholders involved. ANY boost in tourism and the local economy should be seen as an asset, not a detriment. You should all be voted out, starting with Ms. Acton, for voting against something that would only benefit your constituents. Maybe then will you learn that your decisions hold consequences.
@gimmeafb49 It still doesn't make it right...and at least I can spell check.
@NJNinja Who says the airline was speaking for the majority of customers? Was there a poll taken? If somebody wants to look like an idiot, does it really offend or affect you? Please...
@bjay22 If they didn't harass him about his choice of clothing, there probably wouldn't have been any abusive language. When someone fires at you, you're going to fire back...unless you're a wimp.
Nearly every one of these posts shows what complete morons you all are. You feel that a flight attendant should be able to deny your right to fly based on what they deem to be acceptable dress? If I show up with ripped jeans, or my shirt untucked, or orange pants with a green tank top, does the airline have the right to refuse to honor my ticket? I personally find the sagging look disgusting and laughable, and we constantly make fun of people at my work who come in looking like that, but that doesn't give me the right to refuse them service. Like it or not, this generation dresses that way, so to deny them a service based on your personal opinion of what is or isn't appropriate attire is completely wrong. They probably have grounds for a lawsuit, and I hope they win.
Don't carry a gun, real or fake, and this type of incident won't happen to you. Bad price to pay for trying to act like a thug, but oh well...that's what you get sometimes.
If this a-hole gets off, I'm going to see if I can get my DWI from 20+ years ago expunged, stating that the cop had it in for me. What a jerk this guy is...
Please explain how this trip benefits our state? Nobody elected this moron to campaign for Mitt Romney...he was elected to govern New Jersey. He scolds the Democrats for "sitting around", while he goes and stumps for others?! What a clueless, arrogant hypocrite!

Olympic badminton scandal: Wang Xiaoli, Yu Yang, Jung Kyung-eun, Kim Ha-na, others expelled
LONDON (CNN) -- Eight female badminton players were disqualified from the Olympics on Wednesday for trying to lose matches the day before, the Badminton World Federation announced after a disciplinary hearing.
The players from China, South Korea and Indonesia were accused of playing to lose in order to face easier opponents in future matches, drawing boos from spectators and warnings from match officials Tuesday night.
All four pairs of players were charged with not doing their best to win a match and abusing or demeaning the sport.
The Indonesian and South Korean pairs appealed the decision, the BWF said, and a decision on their appeals is expected later Wednesday.
The charges result from two lackluster contests in London that angered the watching crowds as the doubles pairs appeared to be serving into the net on purpose.
The eight players concerned had all already qualified for the quarterfinals of the tournament before the final matches of the group stage Tuesday night.
British sports fans going into the Olympic Park on Wednesday called the scandal "shocking" after seeing parts of the matches on television.
"It's not in the spirit of the thing," said Kevin Button, from Ashford in Kent, just outside of London.
"And it's so disappointing for the people who came to see it," his wife Tina said. "It leaves a bit of a sour taste."
The disqualifications mean the world's No. 1 pair, Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang of China, are out of the competition.
In the first of the Tuesday matches under scrutiny, Wang and Yu played South Korea's Jung Kyung-eun and Kim Ha-na in a game in which "neither side seemed to be exerting themselves," the official Olympic news service said.
After a several serves by both pairs went into the net, the tournament referee, Torsten Berg, was called to the court, the news service reported, "where he warned all four players amid a chorus of boos from the crowd."
The South Koreans eventually won the "repeatedly interrupted match," securing first place in their group, according to the news service. But that puts them in the same side of the draw as Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei, a Chinese duo who are ranked No. 2 in the world.
The second match in question took place about an hour later, pitting South Korea's Ha Jung-eun and Kim Min-jung against the Indonesians Meiliana Jauhari and Greysia Polii.
Play in that contest was "sluggish early on," the Olympic news service reported, and Berg was called onto the court at least twice "with the crowd calling for the players to be sent off."
The Chinese Olympic delegation is also investigating the Chinese players' conduct, it said in a statement Wednesday.
"Upon learning the incident, the delegation leadership has ordered an investigation into what and why it happened," the statement said.
"The Chinese Olympic Committee has always advocated athletes carrying forward the Olympic spirit during competitions. We promote the spirit of fair and equitable competitions, and oppose any violations of such sports spirit and ethics for any reason or in any form," the delegation said.
CNN's Jethro Mullen and Hilary Whiteman in Hong Kong, Steven Jiang in Beijing and Florence Davey-Attlee in London contributed to this report.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 1996 U.S. defense leaders are impressed with the dedication and professionalism of American troops involved in Operation Joint Endeavor and say all the warring parties in Bosnia have given NATO forces a warm welcome.
Defense Secretary William J. Perry, Joint Chiefs Chairman Army Gen. John M. Shalikashvili, NATO commander Army Gen. George Joulwan and 1st Armored Division commander Army Maj. Gen. William Nash said they were all pleased with the progress of the NATO force and U.S. service members in particular during a news conference in Tuzla, Bosnia.
Perry said "true grit" is the best way to characterize the attitude of American service members in Bosnia. "My overwhelming reaction, as the secretary of defense, is great pride in the American military," he said.
Under the Dayton peace agreement, U.S. forces augmented by military forces from other countries will separate the warring factions and patrol a third of Bosnia. U.S. forces have already met with Turkish and Scandinavian troops that will come under the Army's 1st Armored Division. Perry said the multinational aspect of the force is coming along well.
Nash characterized U.S. service members' morale as excellent. "The No. 1 issue on morale is the security and force protection of the soldiers, and that is paramount to what we will do," Nash said. "We will have many activities for the soldiers as the theater matures."
Perry said Air Force engineers are working to improve living conditions for service members in Bosnia. A U.S. tent city is going up with heated tents. "I can tell you the soldiers that are out there in the mud ... were very pleased to see these new tents coming along," he said.
Perry said the history of U.S. ground involvement in Bosnia is going to be "dealing with one problem after another, as they come up." He pointed to the Sava River bridge and mines as two of them. He said the cooperation NATO forces are getting from the parties and the competence and dedication of the troops working the problems are key to overcoming them.
Shalikashvili and Joulwan said the logisticians have also done a superb job. "When you get the statistics of what [the logisticians] have done here, in the middle of winter, in a very difficult area of Europe, you have to be impressed," Joulwan said. He said millions of tons of supplies have arrived, and he singled out the performance of the Air Force's new C-17 airlifter for praise. The effort of the logisticians has put the operation, derailed by bad weather, back on schedule, Joulwan said.
Shalikashvili said from a logistics perspective "we're off to a very, very good start. And I feel very comfortable that we will be able to sustain this force for a long time."
