Shit Ollie, that's the Don you've upset!
Though in retrospect, it probably isn't, because he's a fictional character from a movie that was set in the 1950s. And he died at the end of it, so I think you're probably safe.
The second I saw this, I immeadeatly thought, "This has Pies written all over it."
Which Liverpool should we expect this season? Read Good Kop – Bad Kop: Which Liverpool can we expect this season?
Thanks to Ben letting us in on his vault of obscure cinema knowledge. I can't speak for everyone, but I know I really needed someone to explain to me why vito corleone's screen name probably isn't his real name.
Thanks to Dave for letting us in on his complete lack of a sense of humour. I can't speak for everyone but I know I really needed him to make it obvious to me that wit and cleverness clearly aren't his personal strength.
Now now, let's not get on Dave for being unaware of just how basic and standard that film is. Let's just let him get on with his life never knowing the joy of a good horse's head reference.

At the beginning, you must learn something, from how to stand to how to execute a cut. These are the basic of the basics and you can learn these without going to an actual dojo.
Once you are ready to put a set of armour (bogu) on, then you need a partner. But if you do not have a dojo near you, then you must keep learning the basics over and over on your own. Does it sound boring?
After All, It Is For You
You will have a chance to go and practice kendo with others as long as you keep practicing. Until then, you keep training the basics. If you do not acquire the basics correctly and thoroughly at the very beginning of your kendo life, you will find it very difficult to correct your bad habits afterwards.
Moreover, you will have to come back to the basics. It does not matter how good you have become. Even my late 9th dan sensei, Tsurumaru sensei, once told us that he still worked on the basics. He also told us that the basics was the key in kendo.
I heard something very interesting when Dr. Bennett, aka. Kendo-World Editor in Chief, was telling his fellow kendoists in New Zealand.
Dr. Bennett: "It is not quite a circle. It is a spiral. You come back to the basics but at higher level."
The basics is very important to learn at any level. If you get the basics right, you will be able to get better in kendo. That is for sure.
So keep training even though you are alone. After all, it is for you and it is for your future kendo.

Bleeding Edge TV 303: Beats by Dr. Dre definitive look
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Accessories, Design, Features, Music, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts, Videos
We've been seeing a bunch of interest in our coverage of the Beats by Dr. Dre line of headphones, and rightfully so, we think. It's the headphone we rock when we travel somewhere, and we even recommend them if you are looking for a new pair of over-ears. In this episode, we wanted to give you a look at some of the other super-rare and limited edition versions of the Beats Studio headphones. We've got a pair of the standard black set, but in this video we give you a look at the white Ron Herman Beats, the red LeBron James Beats, and the ultra-rare pink Charles Hamilton Beats. Definitely not anything you should plan on getting your hands on, but nice to see that the Beats are being positioned as a collectors item in a way. If you are into music videos, you'll likely have seem them in over a dozen different ones over the past few months.
Look out for more exclusive versions in the future, we can't imagine that this is the end of it.
Bleeding Edge TV 300: White Ron Herman Beats by Dr. Dre headphones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Accessories, Design, Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts, Videos
Remember those limited edition white Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones we told you about? Well, we got a pair in our studios and decided to do up a video showing them off. In this episode, we compare the white Ron Herman Beats by Dr. Dre to the standard glossy black Beats, and give you a close-up look at all the major and subtle differences between the two. Of course, the internals are exactly the same, so these $700 white Beats are all about style and high fashion. But hey, they are definitely fun to look at.
Hat tip goes to Colorware, who Monster tells me worked really hard on developing a custom finish that would stand up to bending and everything else people do with headphones. They look fantastic.
Also, in case you missed them, we've also got galleries up of the pink Charles Hamilton Beats, and the red LeBron James Beats. Or, you prefer the original, we've got the standard Beats by Dr. Dre gallery as well.
Limited Edition White Beats by Dr. Dre hands-on
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Design, Music, Portable Audio / Video
If you've been paying attention over the past couple of days, then you've heard that Monster is about to release a very limited edition version of their Beats by Dr. Dre headphones into the world. The thing is, they are gonna cost $700 - twice the price of the standard Beats headset that we love so much. We got in touch with Monster for the backstory on these special editions, just to clear everything up.
First of all, you'll only be able to pick these up from the Ron Herman boutique store in Los Angeles. These Beats headphones aren't just pure white—they are done up in Ron Herman white, blue, and gold. Unfamiliar with Ron Herman stores? Well, let's just say a t-shirt there will run you over $60. It's all about high fashion. In fact, Ron had this to say about the custom Beats:
"Our Ron Herman boutiques are the quintessential environment where one can experience the unification of fashion, music and culture. Beats By Dr. Dre are more than just headphones, they are a fashion accessory."
Can't argue with the dude either, the Beats are a fashion accessory almost as much as they are a functional pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I've seen hip hop artists wearing them just to look cool. That's not the only reason for the expense though. According to Monster, one of the biggest challenges with getting the Beats out the door was the finish. They sport a custom coating that works as both a glossy coating and a paint. This coating has to bend freely, while never cracking. These custom Ron Herman Beats were worked on by Colorware, who had to come up with a similar solution. Plus, have you ever gotten anything customized by Colorware? It isn't cheap. So in this sense, Monster is basically passing the cost of the coloring process on to the customer.
One last tidbit - if you are a big baller and want one of these white fashion pieces, hurry up. No more than 20 pairs of white Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones are going to be made. Supply and demand baby! Check out our White Beats by Dr. Dre gallery for a close-up look at what you can get at the Ron Herman store.
Also, in case you missed them, we've also got galleries up of the pink Charles Hamilton Beats, and the red LeBron James Beats. Or, you prefer the original, we've got the standard Beats by Dr. Dre gallery as well.

Up next for the line, though, are the Beats Tour edition. The difference? While the Beats Studio headphones went over the ear, the Beats Tour headphones are actually earbuds, meant to go in your ear (obviously.)

2008 Holiday Gift Guide: Monster Beats by Dr. Dre studio headphones
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Cell Phones, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $500
We've been big fans of the Beats by Dr. Dre Studio headphones since we first got our hands on them. They've got a nice style, with a hip-hop vibe, and a fantastic noise-canceling feature. The earcups are surprisingly comfortable, and fold away on the inner side of the glossy black headband, which can then be stored in the included case. The Beats by Dr. Dre studio headphones do requier two AAA batteries for the noise cancellation feature, and you'll get about 50 hours of listening time on a pair of those. They also include two audio cables, both of which even fit into the original iPhone headset jack, and one of which also includes a mic, so you can take calls. The Monster Beats by Dr. Dre stereo headphones can be found on Amazon for $349.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Features, Galleries, Portable Audio
We've been following the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones ever since we first got some hands-on (and ears-on) time with them back at CES. The Gear Live group that got to try them out included a few serious audiophiles, and we were thoroughly impressed by the sound that they were putting out, and this is when they were still in the development phase.
We just got a pair of the final production model, and early indications are that they are full of a bit more awesome than they were back then. We will hit you with a proper review soon, but for now, we wanted to get you a nice Beats unboxing gallery, chock full of unboxing shots. We've got over 30 images for you to chew on while you wait for these bad boys to launch on July 25th. If you want them, you will find them exclusively in Apple Stores and Best Buy, as well as over at BeatsByDre.com. They will run you $349.95, $50 less than they were announced for back at CES.

Unboxing Live 039: Monster Beats by Dr. Dre Headphones
Posted by Nate True Categories: Home Entertainment, Peripherals, Portable Audio, Videocasts
The Beats by Dre headphones were originally announced at CES 2008, where we were able to get our first experience at listening to the headset. As we noted in our video back then, we were thoroughly impressed. The sound was killer, with fantastic bass. The headphones were well thought out, shipping with audio cables that fit into the original iPhone, and even including a cable that has a microphone on it so that you can take phone calls.
The Beats by Dr. Dre were conceived by Dr. Dre himself, and are mutually designed with Monster Cable. The headphones feature both a unique and futuristic style, as well as newly developed sonic technologies, which result in outstanding performance.
In this episode, we unbox the Beats by Dr. Dre. Included in the box are the headphones themselves, a red audio cable (which fits into the original iPhone), a customized iSoniTalk cable (which also fits into the iPhone, and has a microphone so that you can use the Beats to talk on the phone), cleaning cloth, a studio jack, and protective carrying case.
You can find them soon for $349.95, which is $50 less than they were originally announced for.

Also, we will unlock it for you, if you like, prior to sending it over. We are gonna make this one easy too. The contest starts today, and will end on July 2, 2008. Between now and then, we are gonna be monitoring comments left throughout Gear Live, and forum posts. If you are a regular participants in those areas, you will have an opportunity to win. On July 3, we will compile a list of members who have been active during the contest period, and we will then choose our first, second, and third place winners randomly.

Oh, and just to be clear, if you spam, you are eliminated from the contest. We are looking for people who genuinely add to the conversation across our network in blog comment posts, and on the Gear Live Forums. That means you have to be a member of the site to win, so if you aren't already, go ahead and sign up. One last thing, we can only award the prize to a resident of the USA. If you plan on winning and you don't live here, you'd better have a cousin or great aunt with an address in the US that we can ship your package to.
A big thank you to LRG and Monster Cable for helping us out with this contest.

Bleeding Edge TV 257: Monster Cable whirlwind tour
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Accessories, Apple, CES, CES 2008, Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Podcasts, Videocasts
In this video, we bring you a whirlwind tour of the Monster Cable booth at the 2008 CES event. We are accompanied by Seth Combs and DJ Irie.
Monster Cable CEO Noel Lee made a slew of announcements at his 2008 CES press conference. Some of the new products on the way include five different speed-rated HDMI cables, also Outlets to Go 3, a power strip that includes a USB port for recharging electronics. iSoniTalk is an adapter for the iPhone that allows any headphone to be used with the ever-popular iPhone, while the iCarPlay Wireless 250 is billed as the "World's Most Advanced iPod FM Transmitter".
The big announcement was made in person by renowned rap and music producer Dr. Dre and music impresario Jimmy Iovine, CEO of Interscope Records. Together they introduced "Beats by Dr. Dre", headphones designed for the iPod generation—and to specifically replace the earbuds that come with the iPod. Dre said he has been asked to put his name on many headphones in the past. But he endorses "Beats" because they have the newest technology, for a listening experience this is low-bass friendly with high-quality clarity. Because as Dre put it, "...music should be heard the way it's intended". When asked what he liked most about the headphones, Dre simply replied, "the sound." 'Nuff said! Look for the state-of-the-art headphones in June, for $400 USD.
Bleeding Edge TV 215: Beats by Dr. Dre Private Listening Session and Impressions
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Full Episodes, Gizmatic, Accessories, CES, CES 2008, Design, Features, Home Entertainment, Music, Podcasts, Portable Audio / Video, Product Reviews, Videocasts
The Gear Live crew got the only private listening session of the newly-announced Beats by Dr. Dre headphones during CES, and our thoughts are in this episode. Be sure to check out our other Beats by Dr. Dre video, and our Beats by Dr. Dre photo gallery.
I'm what you would refer to as a cost-sensitive buyer. I'm obsessive about value propositions with my purchases. And I would buy the $400 Beats by Dr. Dre headphones by Dre & Monster Cable.
We got a private demo with Monster and had the opportunity to listen to what's amounted to more than two years of obsessive research and attention to detail. All the materials, the drivers, the amplifier and more are clearly thought out and it shows. The response from these is absolutely incredible. Their intent was to allow you to listen to the music as the producer intended and dare I say it's as faithful reproduction as you'll find on a $400 set of headphones. It's enough that I would buy these before buying the nearest-priced Logitech system for my computer. The bass response was impressive to the Nth—low bass held its tonal quality through a great deal of dynamic range, something not usually seen. The midrange was rich and warm and perfectly presented and the high ends came out just as well.
I'm sad because I really want these. I mean, I was upset that I had to go home tomorrow to my sound system, and that it's nothing close to how these performed. They were comfortable, sexy, and sounded absolutely incredible.
Try these when they come out in June. But only if you're prepared to buy them.

Blog — What's New
Hello Penguins!
It's almost Earth Day, and we're starting to see some helpful penguins raising awareness on Club Penguin! The team showed me a screenshot of one helpful penguin, and I wanted to give them a big shout out here on the blog!
Congratulations, Leafypingu! We spotted you doing random acts of kindness on Club Penguin. To celebrate, we've added 5000 coins to your penguin account. Hooray!
Check out some of the screenshots:
You never know when the Club Penguin Team will find you doing something positive online! If you've seen someone doing something awesome, feel free to let us know any time. If something catches our eye, we might even consider featuring that person here on the blog. :)
Waddle On!
-Club Penguin Team
Congrats Leafypingu! :)
Nice job, Leafypingu!
Congratulations Leafypingu! I think this is one of the best ideas EVER to recognize these penguins that are doing acts of kindness every day. I hope there's more of these in the future, I see a ton of penguins raising awareness on important real world issues!
Great Post Polo Field!, Will These type of posts be regular now?
This is awesome! I'm going to do a stream clean-up for Earth Month and will start riding my bike to make a difference.
HEY POLO FIELD I SAW A PENGUIN NAMED TIGRESS0813 AND HE SAID THIS " TURN BLUE TO HELP THE DAMAGE IN BOSTON!!! AND I THOUGHT THAT HE SHOULD BE THE NEXT ONE ONE THE PENGUIN OF THE DAY THANKS AND WADDLE ONEnter comments
Hey Polo! On Earth Day these other penguins and me were green and trying to save the world! I love Earth Day!
Hey there Polo!
So, i don't think that was the real you replying to me. I think it's because the name filtered in was Polo Field, not PoloField, what you always filter in. If it was the real you or not, just let me know. :D
Waddle on!
Oz Checkered
i shouted go green, take charge of our future,recycle plastic bottles, its earth day, oh by the way my penguin name is M D Luffy

Totally nice job Leafypingu :)
That's cool
For earth day I thought it would be cool to have everyone on club penguin go to all the areas with trees and turn well all green!!!!!
this isn't the best idea in the world, but maybe we could wear tree costumes for Earth Day?
Waddle on!
better idea is ef everyone went to the forest and became trees! :D then headed to the garden, and watered it :) it would be perfect for earth day!
Congrats Leafypingu!!!! GO GREEN!!!!!!!!! : )
go earth day thx ninitika3
I agree! Now it's not just fashions and igloos, and besides, being kind is WAY more important! This will also mean more non-members will get featured.

I think Leafypingu's act of kindness she did on Club Penguin was really important to what happens in the real world. I hope there will be more protests on Earth Day and I hope people won't criticize what they're doing and instead help them spread awareness on Club Penguin so we can all stay green. WADDLE ON CP!!!!!!! Claragirl2

Well done Leafypingu!! You have done us all proud!! I did a similar thing today!! One penguin on CP said "if u like my iggy something will happen!!" so me and a lot of other penguins decided to like her iggy... it was only then we found out it was a big con and nothing actually happened!! I then started to stage a protest saying "LET CP BE A FUN PLACE WITH NO LIES!!" and stuff like that!!
Please help Polo to stop all liars on CP!!

Penguin of the day sounds like a great idea!

I saw something else like yesterday. People were protesting for old cp and new cp and then someone started saying Dont protest for the best. Waddle on!
oh yeah and I'm going to put on something thats green
Before Earth Day (April 21), me and my friends on CP are going to dress as TREE PENGUINS!!!! We will be hangin' around by trees! And In real life, me and my friend ON Earth Day are gonna go around the town and hold up signs saying, WEAR GREEN FOR THE EARTH!!!
Great job Leafypingu, you should be proud of doing this, most penguins on club penguin would not do this, I think you deserve those 5,000 coins. I'm with you... KEEP THE EARTH GREEN.
Congrats, Leafypingu! People need to change their acts and save the world! It's awesome to see people who care about Earth.
It's great that we have penguins like leafypingu. Without them, Club Penguin would be full of terrible things! Are these "Penguin of the Day" posts going to be regular now? I hope so - maybe I might get picked ;)
This morning i saw this penguin named Icecoldwingz or something and he gathered people to wear purple for the boston marathon explosions
WOW! congratulations Leafypingu! You are a awesome person im gonna be like you and help the planet! :)
I love that penguins all through Club Penguin are doing this. I think a club should be started! Purple for peace, Purple for Boston!
I'm glad I bought the green color!
well I was saying go green and plant plant a tree so if you can post me that would be so nice. P.S. i will be doing a lot MORE! and penguins please post me.
Great job Leafypingu! I lve what you guys are doing too! This is a great way to teach penguins like us to show how we can be kind! Thanks! Waddle on!
I am glad I bought that color too! I am also glad I got purple to support "Purple for Peace, Purple for Boston". That was Pigpig's idea.
There's one penguin, Saunya1. She is very environmental. Please check her out.
Awesome :D I've seen Joy Penguin2 doing random acts of kindness around the island :D
Hmm... what server was she on?Anyway, NOODL ON THINKNOODLES AND ALL OF YOU PENGUINS TOO, INCLUDING ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard about that great idea and went to a random server saying "Hope for Boston!". A few penguins turned purple and danced with me. I think Pigpig had this idea.
Awesome job Leafypingu! Keep up the good work penguins!
Great job Leafypingu! Make them grow green dude. And also could club penguin please UPDATE THE COMICS! I am getting tired of the snow cone comic.
you know. its good that she did that.most people would probably just do that so they get a reward.
im proud of you leafypingu!

Wow! There was this guy called Pjgpjg who started this thing called Purple for Peace, Purple for Boston. He is amazing. He shows support in the only way he can to the families affected by this tragedy. He inspired about 20 penguins to turn purple for Boston and dance with him. He has inspired me to inspire others! Everyone agreed to nominate him for this!
good job
I am glad there is penguins like Pigpig out there. That is so sweet. I was so inspired by the Purple for Peace, Purple for Boston that I went around Club Penguin in purple saying that. I hope he doesn't mind that I am using his idea! I totally nominate his idea!
Hi! I did this thing called Purple for Boston or something like that just now. Everyone in the town turned purple to show their support for Boston! I nominate Pjgpjg. He wants peace! He started the Support Boston thingy.
I just supported Boston with Purple for Boston! I heard about it off of CP, so I decided to show my support to the families and friends of those affected. I started telling everyone to turn purple for Boston in the Town and soon we had 20 people turning purple! We will show support in every way that we can! Turn purple for Boston everyone!!
hi me and my friends are trying to support Boston too I'll tell them about the purple idea and I'll get tons of people to help because we're all people and we should all work together
You are so sweet! You really inspired me.
me and other dudes went around wearing nothing but green today 4 earth day!!!!! :D U CAN CHANGE OUR ENVIORMENT AND OUR WORLD!

Congratulations, Leafypingu! You did such a really good deed, I hope we could be friends one day:) By the way, when is Earth Day again? I really don't remember haha. Waddle On CP!!!

I just love trees GROW MORE SAVE MORE i wish people would stop cutting down trees at least they could grow trees ;-( some people are going careless they forgot that trees only give us oxygen. I made my penguin's clothes also green GO GREEN!
Waddle on club penguin
congrats leafypingu great job sending green around club penguin

Indeed.Lets all keep going green and save our nature and animals.Until then,Waddle On Cp!
Great Job Leafypingu!!! I hope these posts can happen everyday! Plus, what about the Earth Day Party? Oh well, guess we should start some on our own. Waddle on! Or on Earth Day... PLANT ON!
did you know that my favorite color is green ;) and that I gave all i mean ALL my coins away at the Christmas party...but now...I HAVE 41780 coins cool huh well there is only 1 thing left to say...WADDLE ON...no that isn't right it is...JOSHY ON...ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Congrats to winner ;)
I can tell Leafypingu has inspired all of cp. Everyone is dancing around in green telling everyone to make a difference and change the world. There was once when I told everyone "Lets go to the recycling plant to look for the pin!" And everyone made a "?." I guess the recycling plant isn't well known. I think cp should make it more noticeable instead of it just being hidden in a corner. Who agrees with me?
yesterday i saw applepicker do something amazing she was protesting to stop animal abuse! we all dressed up as animals and dance around the island! so thats why i sponserd her here right now
p.s i never been posted! p.p.s I love you guys!!! your the best!!
yep i totally agree it should be more well known

She was going around telling penguins to turn green for Earth Day, and she also said, "Help change the WORLD!"
"I believe if we don't get the word out, then no one will know how people litter on the streets, and don't pick up after them selves." That is what she thinks Earth Day is about.
(She also wanted me to tell Rookie hi if you see him!)

60 Minutes Makes a Believer out of Mizzou Scientist
Categories: Science & Technology
|Rob Duncan
First unveiled in 1989, cold fusion suggests that nuclear energy can be produced cheaply and safely with just a bit metal, some hydrogen and a small current of electricity. The technology was almost immediately debunked as junk science, though, when researchers were unable to replicate the experiments.
Now -- 20 years later -- the technology still has its detractors despite a growing number of scientists (and even the U.S. military) claiming that cold fusion works and could be a solution to U.S. energy dependence. In its segment last night, 60 Minutes asked University of Missouri scientist Rob Duncan to weigh in on the debate as a third-party observer.
The CBS news show flew Duncan to an Isreali lab where scientists are working on the technology. After a few days of observing experiments there and crunching his own numbers on the science, Duncan is now a believer -- even though many questions remain.
Says Duncan: "We don't fundamentally understand the process yet, but to say we don't fundamentally understand the process so we're not going to study it, is like saying 'I'm too sick to go to the doctor.'"

Can Orioles emulate the Rays?
Hall of Fame voter Mark Zuckerman on the 2014 class
In five of the last six seasons, the Tampa Bay Rays have won 90 games or more. They're a team the Orioles would like to emulate.
The Rays have been built on excellent starting pitching, something the Orioles are trying to do, too.
Despite some thought they would trade David Price, Tampa Bay has kept the star left-hander who is still two years away from free agency. The Rays don't believe they'll be able to afford him, but Price enjoys playing for Joe Maddon.
Tampa Bay has some other good starters, Matt Moore, Chris Archer, Jeremy Cobb and Jeremy Hellickson. They have a good bullpen, too even though closer Fernando Rodney left for free agency. (He has yet to sign.)
Some of the familiar names are back. Evan Longoria, James Loney, Jose Molina and Ben Zobrist. Zobrist feasts on the Orioles. Last year, he hit .329 against them.
Rookie of the year Wil Myers (13 home runs, 53 RBIs) is here for his first complete season.
The Orioles certainly admire the Rays' approach, and hope they'll be able to copy their success.
[RELATED: How close are Orioles to having final 25?]
With more than two months until Opening Day, the Rays and Red Sox look to be the most formidable teams in the American League East.
NOTE: Vouchers for autograph sessions at FanFest will go on sale Saturday at 10 am. FanFest will be held at the Baltimore Convention Center on Feb. 1 from 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

m-TAGS component (foo_tags), Support for m-TAGS metadata separation
m-TAGS component (foo_tags), Support for m-TAGS metadata separation

m-TAGS (foo_tags)
I created this for my own use. I am sharing it because if I have a need for it, maybe someone else does too....
The m-TAGS format offers a simple yet powerful solution to the media-metadata separation problem, which impacts the efficience of digital music collections and media distribution services alike. An m-TAGS file is media-independent. It just contains metadata (tags) describing a certain media source and a locator which identifies the source to which the metadata applies.
The format of an m-TAGS file is very simple. Each tag is represented by a pair "<tag name>" : "<tag value>", with the special "@" tag containing the location of the media resource. This format allows the defininion of any tag name and the assignment of any value to a tag. Support for multivalued tags is included, as well as for multi-part media indexing.
Download the component on the foobar2000 website (http://www.foobar2000.org) or here: http://m-tags.org/foo_tags.zip
For additional information and technical details please visit http://m-tags.org
For a first "taste" of how the m-TAGS mechanism works, select File / m-TAGS / Create m-TAGS (in same folder) from the main menu. Then browse to a folder where you have some audio files and press OK.
A new file will be created in your folder, named !.tags. If you open this file with any text editor, you will see that it contains the metadata of your audio files in plain text. You can edit the metadata directly if you wish.
If you drop the file into a foobar2000 playlist, it looks like your audio files are loaded into the playlist, just as if you had dropped a playlist file. However, if you look at the properties of the playlist entries, you will notice that the !.tags file was loaded instead.
Your audio files will play normally, but any changes to the metadata will be reflected in the !.tags file, and NOT in the audio files. As long as you use m-TAGS files to load your music into foobar2000, your audio files will play normally, but they never be touched by foobar2000. They will be treated as "read-only" audio sources. Even the replaygain tags will be read and written from / to the !.tags file.
Note: keep in mind that also all move / copy / delete file operations will be performed on the m-TAGS files!
Notes (mostly generated by feedback):
1. The component will generate UTF-8 files. It will still be able to read non-UTF-8 files.
2. You can change the default name for multi-reference m-TAGS file from "!" to another name (Preferences / Advanced / Tagging / m-TAGS / m-TAGS creator).
3. There is an option to always write all tags for each media source, without implementing the "cascading" optimization. It may simplify scripting on m-TAGS files (Preferences / Advanced / Tagging / m-TAGS / m-TAGS creator).
4. there is a command line option to create m-TAGS files "in-place" given a certain folder. It behaves exactly as if the provided folder had been selected using "File / m-TAGS / Create m-TAGS (in same folder)". The syntax is:
foobar2000 /m-TAGS <folder>
If you know how to create a shell context-menu script, then you can use the above command to "m-TAG" on the fly a folder and all subdirs from within Windows Explorer. Obviously, fb2k will start if it is not open. However, if you use
foobar2000 /quiet /m-TAGS <folder>
then you can "m-TAG" your folders without opening fb2k's main window.
Version 1.0 now available. Main upgrades are:
1) you can now write the tags from an m-TAGS file back to the media files;
2) m-TAGS will not attempt anymore to automatically load technical information from remote media files (i.e. URI's);
3) a new predefined tag "DURATION" allows to specify the duration of a track when technical information is not automatically loaded (it is ignored otherwise);
4) a new advanced setting option was added for the m-TAGS creator to retain media file extensions (i.e. scanning "track.mp3" will generate a "track.mp3.tags" file, rather than a "track.tags" file).
Version 1.02 fixes some issues with archived (zip/rar) files.

I needed some technical detail, but as m-tags.org website is down I have to ask the question here rather than get it there. Can I use this component as a temporary container for preserving metadata? My scenario: I got FLAC file, well tagged (using custom fields). I noticed it has a glitch somewhere so I opened wave editor, removed the glitch and saved it. In most cases wave editor discards most of metadata, and preserves only few standard fields. In worst case tagging is not supported in wave editor at all. Other situation: I got old mp3 file - well tagged, with custom fields - that's obvious. Finally it gets released digitally, so I buy the new mp3 at Beatport. I put the same name for new file as for old one and overwrite old one with new one. In both cases I need a way to preserve tags in an external container to restore them back in edited FLAC or newer mp3 file. It is possible with foobar with Media Library disabled or at least with disabled real time monitoring of ML folders. But since I started using ML i don't want to disable it. Does m-TAGS have option/command to first save metadata to .tags file, and then to write them into mp3/flac files from .tags file?

Despite the fact that the Supreme Court of the United States continues to make it increasingly difficult for victims of corporate wrongdoing to bring lawsuits, right-wing media still advance the myth that the court system is in desperate need of "tort reform."
The idea that American plaintiffs are an overly litigious bunch that take advantage of the federal courts with meritless claims that contribute to grievous economic costs is a common stereotype that is often repeated by the conservative media. It also isn't really true. But that didn't stop The American Spectator from repeating that idea in the September 2013 issue:
AMERICAN LAW, AND especially its rules of civil procedure, seem to take it for granted that one of life's chief joys is the opportunity to sue someone else. Getting to court in other first-world countries isn't easy, but broad is the way to the American courthouse.
The right to have civil cases adjudged by a jury is afforded constitutional protection in the U.S. Elsewhere, civil juries never got off the ground or were abolished as a sensible reform measure.
Class actions, where lawyers bring a claim on behalf of thousands or millions of unnamed plaintiffs (who seldom see any part of the recovery) are rare outside the U.S.
It's not surprising that litigation rates are so much higher here than elsewhere. Subsidize something and you get more of it. Differences in legal ethics matter. In America, much more than elsewhere, lawyers are encouraged to advance their client's interests without regard to the interests of justice in the particular case or broader social concerns. American lawyers' professional culture is unique in permitting and implicitly encouraging them to assert novel theories of recovery, coach witnesses, and wear down their opponents through burdensome pretrial discovery. Great stuff if you're a trial lawyer, but non-lawyers pay for this through higher consumer prices and foregone jobs.
The Spectator claims that the fear of litigation keeps international companies from investing in the American economy. However, it fails to mention that, according to the nonpartisan Center for Justice & Democracy, tort claims (personal injury claims) "represent only 5% of all incoming civil cases today." Moreover, the court system already has rules in place to block frivolous lawsuits from proceeding.
Right-wing media have mischaracterized the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision that requires certain preventive health care services be included in employer-provided health insurance at no cost as a violation of the religious freedoms of corporations who object to contraception. In reality, this mandate, currently before the Supreme Court, accommodates religious employers' First Amendment rights without allowing secular, for-profit corporations to skirt federal law, and there is no legal precedent that gives corporations the right to exercise religious freedom.
President Obama has nominated Thomas E. Perez as Secretary of Labor. Right-wing media used this announcement to push false attacks about Perez based on his service in the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division and other civil rights work and advocacy.
After President Obama's re-election, conservative media figures attacked New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for his praise of the president's leadership following Hurricane Sandy. Their attacks followed News Corp. chief Rupert Murdoch's pre-election statement that Christie would be to blame if Obama won the election.
Question: If the snap polls, along with the pundit consensus, had indicated Mitt Romney had won Tuesday's debate, would anyone on Fox News have cared what moderator Candy Crowley said while the two candidates discussed last month's terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya?
It's doubtful.
The hysterical, and at times deeply disturbing, reaction to Crowley's moderator role only erupted as way to explain away Romney's poor showing. Angry that Romney's weak performance might hurt his November chances, conservatives lashed out at the nearest target, Crowley. ("Shut your big fat mouth, Candy.")
But conservatives didn't simply condemn Crowley's performance as a journalist. ("Disgraceful"!) They spent the week turning her into a mythical figure of liberal destruction; a potentially violent agent (a "suicide bomber") sent by Obama to dismantle the Republican campaign for the presidency. In doing so, unglued commentators attached Crowley to a sweeping campaign conspiracy.
Is criticizing a debate moderator out of bounds? Of course not. Media Matters found fault with Jim Lehrer's performance at the first presidential debate this year. Is it completely insane to denounce a moderator by likening him or her to a political killer?
It is.
Despite a long history of scapegoating lower-income families and those in need, media conservatives continuously attack President Obama's proposals by shouting "class warfare." In fact, the majority of Americans support reforms that would address systematic inequality.
The conservative media is divided on anonymous sources: Some right-wing media figures have been hyping a claim by an anonymous source that Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel is "likely involved with the sexual harassment" allegations against Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. At the same time, however, other conservative media figures have tried to cast doubt on the sexual harassment allegations against Cain by pointing out that they are based on anonymous sources.
A New York Times/Bay Citizen article cherry-picked statistics from a Brookings Institution report and reportedly misrepresented interviews to call the goal of creating 5 million green jobs in 10 years a "pipe dream." Conservative media have seized upon the Times article to claim that "even" the "left" agrees that investment in green jobs is a "a waste of money and time."
Right-wing media figures have recently promoted a study co-written by David Yerushalmi claiming in part that more than 80 percent of U.S. mosques feature texts that promote or support violence. However, as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has noted, Yerushalmi has "a record of anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant and anti-black bigotry."
Perhaps the reason most successful comics are liberals is because the right-wing media have repeatedly proven that they can't take -- or properly make -- a joke. They proved this point in the aftermath of President Obama's remarks on border security in El Paso, TX, yesterday, when he joked at Republicans' expense, stating that "they said we needed to triple the Border Patrol. Or now they're going to say we need to quadruple the Border Patrol. Or they'll want a higher fence. Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied. And I understand that. That's politics."
Unable to take the joke, right-wing media attacked Obama over the comment.
Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade discussed Obama's comment during the May 11 broadcast of the show. After airing a clip of the president's moat remarks, he stated, "I guess you're allowed" to mock Republicans. Co-host Steve Doocy responded to this by interjecting, "He's campaigning." Kilmeade went on to criticize Obama's steps toward immigration reform. On-screen text during the segment read, "Obama's Partisan Attack."
The right-wing media is grasping for coherence in its attempts to portray military action in Libya as "Obama's Iraq."
Betsy McCaughey -- best known for repeatedly misleading about health care reform -- made numerous false or misleading claims in order to attack the effectiveness of the stimulus bill.
It's more than a month until Election Day, but it seems conservatives are already scraping the bottom of the barrel for baseless attacks on Democratic Delaware Senate candidate Chris Coons.
First up is Jeffrey Lord of The American Spectator. Lord -- who we last saw trying to parse whether Shirley Sherrod was "lying" about a relative being lynched because only two people were involved in the act, a position so ridiculous that even his fellow Spectator writers wouldn't back him up -- attacked Coons' work as a college student with the South African Council of Churches. Why? Because Coons was "emerging as a leftist," and thus "decided he had some sort of obvious attraction to the work of SACC," which "support[ed] Black Liberation Theology." Things get tangential from here, as Lord plays Six Degrees of Black Liberation Theology (with a brief stop at Rev. Jeremiah Wright) to depict the SACC has having "pro-Marxist, pro-socialist, anti-capitalist views." Lord proclaimed, "Now, the liberation theology chickens that Chris Coons was supporting in Africa have come home to roost in America."
Lord overlooks a few things. Like: What is the one thing people think of when they think of South Africa in the 1980s? Apartheid. And what was one of the leading groups fighting apartheid in that country? The South African Council of Churches. Bishop Desmond Tutu, a prominent anti-apartheid leader and recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, is a former secretary-general of SACC, and Nelson Mandela praised the group as being among those who "resisted racial bigotry and held out a vision of a different, transformed South Africa."
Isn't it more logical that Coons was attracted to working for the SACC over its anti-apartheid stance? Yep. Does Lord make that connection? Nope -- he's too invested in his convoluted conspiracy theory.
Jeffrey Lord is now defending himself in the comments section of fellow American Spectator writer James Antle's post criticizing Lord's comments about Shirley Sherrod and the lynching of Bobby Hall.
The results are not pretty.
Lord is now claiming -- and this is not a joke -- that he never personally claimed that Bobby Hall was not lynched, that he just pointed out that the Supreme Court supposedly said he hadn't been lynched.
Lord, responding to Antle's criticism of his argument:
I confess I am continually astonished at the notion that the lynching standards are MY standards. I simply said what the Court said ... the color of law business comes straight from the decision, written by William O. Douglas and signed onto by Hugo Black, Stanley Reed, Chief Justice Stone. Wiley Rutledge later made the fifth vote.
Lord, in his original piece:
Plain as day, Ms. Sherrod says that Bobby Hall, a Sherrod relative, was lynched. As she puts it, describing the actions of the 1940s-era Sheriff Claude Screws: "Claude Screws lynched a black man."
This is not true. It did not happen.
More comparisons of Lord's latest defense with his prior comments below the fold.
From a July 27 post at The American Spectator by associate editor W. James Antle:
For a variety of reasons I have not wanted to pile on, not least being my respect for Jeff personally and for his fine work. But I am afraid his latest post is wildly unpersuasive, to put it mildly.
By the standard Jeff is employing here, Emmett Till was not lynched because he was murdered by only two men and he was not hanged. Nothing was hung around Till's neck until his murderers wanted to weigh down his dead body after dumping it in a river. (Though I realize we've gone from implying that a lynching must be by noose to quibbling about the number of people it takes to form a proper lynch mob.)
Similarly, according to this idiosyncratic definition James Byrd was not lynched because he was murdered by three men and dragged to his death while chained to the back of a pick-up truck. Both of these high-profile, racially motivated, 20th-century murders are widely and popularly described as lynchings. Shirley Sherrod said her fair share of crazy things in her full, unedited speech but I think most people would regard her use of the word "lynch" as reasonable.
Even if we adhere to Jeff's precise requirements for what constitutes a lynching, I cannot fathom how nit-picking over the proper terminology to describe the brutal beating death of a black man strikes a blow against the New Black Panther Party, the federal lawsuit against Arizona, and all the assorted misdeeds of the left mentioned in his post. Instead it is a distraction that will leave most people bewildered if not offended and an argument that does not meet Jeff's normally high standards.
