Cant say I agree with you about the "salad shooter as the most uselessness, but i find that it is just the reverse. I use my Salad shooter to slice almost anythinq, veggies, cheese, potatoes .You name it. It will slice it. The one i think was missed is the ronco bottle and jar maker where you cut the bottle in half and then sand the glass edges and drink from it. not me. I will take the salad shooter anytime.

Scouts who attend jamboree in W.Va. must be fit
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Boy Scout oath requires Scouts to keep themselves physically strong.
Scouts will have to live up to that oath if they want to attend the Boy Scouts of America's 2013 National Jamboree in southern West Virginia.
According to the jamboree's website, this year's event at The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve will be more physically demanding than previous jamborees held at Fort A.P. Hill in Virginia.
The terrain is more challenging, and there will be activities such as climbing, rappelling and mountain biking.
Body mass index, health history and other factors will be used to determine whether a Scout can participate in the jamboree.
National Jamboree director Larry Pritchard tells the Charleston Daily Mail that The Summit is a fun but physically demanding facility.

MascotDB.com is the definitive resource for sports team names and mascots. From the Aardvarks to the Zoos, we've got them covered.
This site is a searchable database for team names of high schools, colleges, and professional sports. It is also one of the largest repositories of sports logos and social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, GooglePlus, Pinterest) links. We currently have 47163 sports team names and mascots in our database, from teams past and present.
Browse through all the different team/mascot names, or conduct a search to find anything from cool high school team names like the Millennium Falcons, is there really a high school team called the "Nimrods"? (yes!), to how many teams are called the Cardinals? (lots!)
Want to know which mascots are the most common? Here you go!
1. Eagles
2. Tigers
3. Bulldogs
4. Panthers
5. Wildcats
6. Warriors
7. Indians
8. Lions
9. Cougars
10. Knights
11. Cardinals
12. Mustangs
13. Trojans
14. Falcons
15. Pirates
16. Vikings
17. Raiders
18. Rams
19. Spartans
20. Bears
Eagles and Tigers are the two most popular sports mascots.
We are working on adding additional content to the site, such as answering questions like, What is a Hoya? or What is a Hoosier? Also, we will be adding lists of mascots by category, such as unusual mascots, politically incorrect mascots, food mascots, reptile mascots, etc. Bookmark this site, use it (it's free!), and keep coming back!
While this is the largest, and currently the only searchable, sports team name/mascot database, there is still work to be done! We need your help in submitting information on new teams that form, as well as teams that are no longer in existence - especially high school teams. Please feel free to contact us or submit information, and let us know of any ideas or suggestions you have, or just to tell us that you love the site!

There's going to be a Django Master Class tutorial (presented by Jacob, Jeremy and Simon) and lots of Django people around.
This page is a place to make plans and notes. That includes plans to get together outside the conference itself, for those who are fortunate enough to live in Portland but not enough to have someone buying them a pass to OSCON...
So who will be there?

Solitary Confinement:
Think about Picard's #1 if he were the Skipper's little buddy
1: Served as President longer then anyone else in US history, serving 3 terms and being elected to serve a fourth prior to his death
2: He is not a crook, despite audio tapes saying otherwise
Greed is Good
1: Just keep this company's CEO away from booze and big magnets and stocks should continue to rise
2: Office building with walls lined by lead, that can't be good for your health, but hey keeps peeping toms with x-ray vision guessing
3: Think Exxon if it rocked on for the name of this Ultimate evil corporation
4: How does a guy juggle being a CEO by day and fight crime without going batty? Oh wait... seriously take a nap sometime!
War Heroes:
1: He wears Red White and Blue, and... oh why am I giving a clue for this? if you didn't figure this out on your own your hopeless!
2: Former sidekick and current person to use the name of the hero above
3-9: 3 is something you may yell at a bull, 4 is the name of the British flag, 5 is the name of a fighter plane of WWII era, 6 is the title given to a beuty pageant winner in the US, 7 is marvel's old school super-speedster with a name that makes it sound like he pees a lot, 8 shares a super-name with a member of the FF, 9 is Marvel's first mutant... Collectively they were all members of a team during WWII that best clue I've seen is classic arcade name Space _____________
10: Steve Rogers is ________ America, this guy is _________ (what Germany, Japan, and Italy were collectively known as during WWII)
11: Arch-enemy to the first of the war heroes has a crimson cranium
Dunno how to give a better clue for the third company without just giving it away, except it has appeared in both 616 and Ultimate Marvel as well as non-canon titles such as Transformers... and is a team page not a location like the other 3....
OOPS forgot to give clues for It's Elementary! so here goes....
1: Wakanda's greatest natural resource
2: Meteorite from a planet that went ka-boom!
3: Snikt
4: A certain villain became UNSTOPPABLE because of this red jewel
"I didn't particularly understand number 7 for War Heroes? "
The second person who used the name became S___d D___n (side note you want the actual super-hero page which is NOT listed as a member of the team, which rather has the original's secret identity page and not his super-identity listed, knowing that you don't have to be a whiz kid to figure this one out!)

For a lot of the war heroes just search old comic like All-Winner comic and character credits are listed to the left.
"still not getting Greed 3 or Commander 2 "
OK best clue I can think to make #3 a little easier is that they share some appearances with the Ultimate version of a certain Symkarian female mercenary
And commander #2's head is president of earth on a certain Matt Groenig cartoon which was recently brought back
" @Grim: Dunno how to give a better clue for the third company without just giving it away, except it has appeared in both 616 and Ultimate Marvel as well as non-canon titles such as Transformers... and is a team page not a location like the other 3.... 4: A certain villain became UNSTOPPABLE because of this red jewel "lol. thanks. the first hint was actually the best. I didnt know it, but i scoured the recently edited teams list till i face palmed.

I don't understand "Think Exxon if it rocked on .. " :( I had to google what Exxon WAS and then that just made everything more confusing haha. I've looked up Symkaria, and then found a famous Symkarian and checked out her affiliations, but that didn't help either. Haaaalp!

commander is bugged for me i keep going to his page and am getting no quest complete, i know its him wheel chair and 3 term 4 by death i know but its bugged
ok 1. hes not a crook. think watergate
and 2. hes the longest-serving president is american history
if its bugged get in contact witha mod and/or staff member
greed 3 is named afters supermans arch-nemesis and solitary is an actural prison think of picards 2nd-in-command
Hey guys I am working on C-in-C as well as G.i.G...
I am going am sure I have the answers but it is not taking them
For example C-in C you try to search through the storyline the Blue guy was in, and you find listings for both 1 and 2 however "Tricky" is not going through...
( i never knew that fact about the love the love hate relationship Ted Kord had with him, kind of funny)
And I believe I got the locations for G.i.G 2 DC locations and 1 Marvel?
but if I am correct then these are bugged as well
Anyone else having that issue?
or I just wrong?

I have gone to the president who served the longest and was in a wheelchair but it won't give me credit or whatever, anyone else have that problem
" I have gone to the president who served the longest and was in a wheelchair but it won't give me credit or whatever, anyone else have that problem "A lot of people who ask me for clues about this say it's bugged.... To be honest I figured out 1 of the CICs on my own (he's not a crook!) and when I looked at the CV clue to try to figure out the other, his name was not showing up as the one I figured out, the other guys was however, which does indicate a bug, and a possible give-away answer to those of you who figured out half the clue if this has not been fixed, try re-visiting both president's pages (and are you using Google Chrome yet? seems to beat most CV bugs and glitches)

Uh...I have it now...and I think there might be something buggy. My quest said I had the "I'm not a crook" President, and I went back to the President's page of who gave Capt his shield, I went to Capt's shield object page and tried clicking on the President that way. For fun I decided to go to " I'm not a crook's" page and it said I completed the quest. Of course I was like WTF so I went to my quest page and it had the Presdient I had trouble getting. So I think I already had him but it said I had "I'm not a crook" when in fact it was the other guy.

Apparently the glitch in the C.i.C is that if you find one of them, then the quest page shows you viewed the page for the other. At least thats what mine does. So if that happens to you, you know who the other is.
Also still having problems with greed.... i got 3, in mine it shows
1- as the guy who drove me batty,
2- ?,
3- as the nemesis of the big blue!!, and
4- as the guy you should keep away from a magnet!! any advice on the last one??
never mind i got it!! but i dont know how to give a clue, i finally understood the exxon kept Rocking clue!!
Still confused on the War Heroes 3: "Something you'd say to a bull." I mean, I've tried those, but to no avail. Got another clue?
It used to be an oil company. The company is supposed to have history with Tony Stark.

HUNTINGTON -- More than 60 international student recruiters from about 20 counties arrived on Marshall University's campus Thursday morning, signaling the beginning of a partnership with INTO University Partners.
A signing ceremony was held in Marshall University Foundation Hall between Marshall President Stephen Kopp and the chairman of INTO, Andrew Colin. Both expressed excitement to finally reach an agreement after about a two-year process that included several months of intense negotiations leading up to the Marshall Board of Governors approving the 30-year deal early last month.
"We're signing an agreement that will literally transform Marshall University," Kopp said.
It is estimated that as many as 200 international students will be recruited to Marshall for the fall of 2013 to start their undergraduate careers. And the recruiters who are in town to learn about Marshall, Huntington and West Virginia will be working to ensure there is a new crop of students coming to campus each year going forward.
"We are going to work to make Marshall an even more famous university in the years to come," Colin said. "The fruits of our labor are now in front of us."
Colin said there are 4 million students worldwide who travel to other countries for higher education. And, he said, that is expected to double by 2025. He emphasized the need for universities, particularly public ones, to embrace the change to an even broader degree than they already are.
West Virginia's higher education institutions already are seeing an influx, as reported in a study by the nonprofit Institute of International Education released earlier this week. It showed that international enrollment in West Virginia colleges and universities has grown 8.4 percent in the span of a year to 2,708, which ranks 43rd in the nation.
West Virginia University in Morgantown had the most international students at 1,744. Marshall University had 452, followed by Concord University with 95, Bluefield State College with 78 and West Virginia Northern Community College in Wheeling with 15.
Most of Marshall's international population are graduate students. Kopp and Clark Egnor, director of the Center for International Programs at Marshall, said graduate students are typically older, more likely to live off campus and may have a spouse and children. But undergraduate students who come to Marshall will be more able to invest themselves in campus life. They will be subject to the residency requirement and will live on campus for their first two years.
Those international students also will play a large role in bringing the world to Marshall's domestic student population, including many students who may have never traveled outside the country.
"INTO will help recruit more international students from all over the world, and that will give our West Virginia students an international experience," Egnor said. "It will ensure they are ready to live and work in a global economy."
Engor and Colin explained that INTO's recruiting team has a much better reach and connection to students in their home countries. And the experience will be much more personal now that those recruiters have visited campus.
"These recruiters live in those countries. They can meet with them and their parents face-to-face," Egnor said. "Right now, it's usually just email."
Colin likened it to buying a high-priced vehicle, saying it isn't something you do online. He said you can use the Internet to do some research, but, in the end, you'd like to close the deal in person.
"These are massive financial investments these families are making, up to a quarter-million dollars if they go through graduate school," Colin said. "So the young people and their families appreciate someone sitting down."
He also said the recruiters will leave Huntington with a tremendous sense of the traditions, mission and values which encapsulate Marshall and the state. And "you can't get that from the Internet," he said.
When the program starts next August, the first group of students will start in INTO Pathways program, which typically lasts two semesters. Through an intensive English Second Language program, they will study skills and cultural immersion classes that will help them transition into Marshall's academic programs. East Hall, the former home of the community and technical college, is undergoing renovations to house the INTO classes.
INTO will pay Marshall $390,000 a year to lease the facility, which is costing Marshall $2.9 million upfront for renovations.
Revenues from the joint venture will be split equally into an account housed through the Marshall University Foundation. INTO makes a large portion of its profits through the fee students pay for the Pathways Program. Once they are full-time Marshall students, 16 percent of their tuition streams into the joint revenue pool, while Marshall retains 84 percent that is counted as regular tuition.

"I sent these holiday cards to my family and friends. The print & paper quality was very good! I chose the grey color to switch it up from the traditional holiday colors. If you're looking for a simplistic and non-traditional holiday card, this design fits the bill perfectly!"
"This card is stylish without being over the top! I love the matte card stock with the pearl finish. It gives it that shimmery look that you wouldn't get with the plain matte finish. You should be aware that because this is a square card it is about $.20 more per card to send via snail mail...not a deal breaker for me because I only send out about 30, but for someone who sends out a lot of cards this might deter you. Otherwise, this is a great card and I would recommend it."
"I wanted a card that showed all that we did during the year. This was perfect! I ended up choosing the pearly paper and it was worth the extra amount, it gave it that extra holiday sparkle. I also got the return address on the envelope and that is so worth it as well. Beautiful presentation. My ONLY complaint and the only reason why I dropped it a star was that there was no choice of color for the back (it was blackish colored). We like to personalize our cards and we had to get silver marker and it was just a pain bec the marker had a hard time with the kind of paper it was. But otherwise, super happy with everything else."
"Loved that I was able to place any of my photos in with great ease. The colors on the card are vivid and turned out great. Definitely a hit with all of the family!"
"The product was easy to customize, shipping was fast (and expensive!), and the product itself was high quality. I love the bold colors and the printed backside. I wish there was a way to write a personalized message on the backside of the card, but there is not :("

Why is the White House trying to scare average people about the consequences of the "fiscal cliff?"
If the President's strategy is to hold his ground and demand from Republicans tax increases on the wealthy, presumably his strongest bargaining position would be to allow the Bush tax cuts to expire on schedule come January – causing taxes to rise automatically, especially on the wealthy.
So you'd think part of that strategy would be reassure the rest of the public that the fiscal cliff isn't so bad or so steep, and that at the start of January Democrats will introduce in Congress a middle-class tax cut whose effect is to prevent taxes from rising for most people (thereby forcing Republicans to vote for a tax cut for the middle class or hold it hostage to a tax cut for the wealthy as well).
But today (Monday) the White House's Council of Economic Advisers issued a report today warning that if Congress allows the Bush tax cuts to expire January 1and the Alternative Minimum Tax to kick in, the middle class will face sharply-rising taxes.
The result, says the Council of Economic Advisers, could slow consumer spending by 1.7 percent next year, and slow overall economic growth by 1.4 percent. The loss of $200 billion in consumer spending is just about what American families spent on all the new cars and trucks sold in the U.S. in the last year, according to the report. About $36 billion less would be spent for housing and utilities, $32 billion less for healthcare, and $26 billion less for groceries and at restaurants.
This kind of fear-mongering plays into Republican hands.

Is it possible for Mr. Reich to stop being supremely politically partisan and hope that he has some concern for handling the economic situation for the best future benefit of the entire US population and not for his polical party? It is Reich's type of partisanship that has made this country so divided. He is a sad little partisan.
Nate P • November 29th, 2012 at 1:31 pm
they could have done the same thing before and Obama caved and kept the wealthy tax cuts in place after threatening a veto for months. GOP has all the leverage in this and Democrats know it.

36. Haven't done much console gaming since the Atari days, but the Wii has definitely peaked my interest.
28 here. I plan to be the grandpa that beats his grandkids on the new Super N1024 Woo. Just getting back into consoles though after being a straight PC gamer for a few years. Too expensive to keep up on the PC...
38. I guess everyone in my general age started on a 2600. I got into PC gaming about 15 years ago I guess, and about 2 years ago got a Gamecube that I play with my 10 and 7 year old sons on.
19, my first console was an the original NES.
I feel like the youngest here.... :s
I am going to go with 18-27......that sounds about right lol
I don't feel so bad now. Before I started the post I thought I was the oldest gamer here. Now I have proof positive for all the nay-sayers who think I am too old to still be gaming.

GLX in 8bit mode
Hi all,
When running the xserver (Xorg 6.8.2, 100.14.11 nvidia drivers, GeForce FX 5200 chipset) in 8bit color mode I'm getting the following error in the command line:
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
This does not occur when running in higher color modes (eg 16bit etc).
Looking at the 8bit xorg.log and comparing with that of 16bit I see that the following lines are missing in the 8bit log prior to GLX initialization:
(II) Loading extension NV-GLX
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA 3D Acceleration Architecture Initialized
Does the nvidia GLX extension support 8bit color? If not, is there a way of loading a different module specificaly for lower color modes?
Re: GLX in 8bit mode
No, GLX is not supported at depths 8 or 15.
Re: GLX in 8bit mode
Hi AaronP, thanks for the reply. I suspected that was the case. Is it possible to load a different glx module specificaly for 8bit color (ie. to fall back to software rendering in the 8bit case)?
Re: GLX in 8bit mode
You could try Mesa, though I don't know off the top of my head whether it supports GLX at depth 8.
Re: GLX in 8bit mode
Thanks again, I'll try that.

Bento #5 the Artis bentoApril 3rd, 2010
Tomorrow it's Easter Sunday and I will be volunteering for a few hours in the zoo, handing out folders for the annual egg hunt for the kiddies. After that dan_e and me will go on our own 'hunt' probably in the aquarium, because that's my favourite place at the moment. Naturally, we have filled our newly arrived bento boxes for the occasion:
We have made our favourite spicy peanut furikake from bento 4 and sushi rice. With our order of the bento boxes we also got a book, some very small sauce bottles and a fish shaper. So the rice is already in the shape of a fish. I made another pie, with vegetables, herbs and nuts except the bananas, I forgot those. Some radishes and on the side yummeh humus.
Bento boxesApril 3rd, 2010
The mail service from Japan was quicker than we expected, on the left Mari0nh's green box, on the right dan_e's blue box.

Bento #4March 28th, 2010
Marion & I spent a lot of the weekend shopping and cooking – and having fun
Yesterday there was tagliatelle with cauliflower/mushroomsauce which turned out rather well, then today we made some stuff for our bento's for tomorrow as well as a apple/banana dessert that went down really well at the end of the afternoon. We ended up eating cheese fondue with our homebaked bread because we were kind of done with cooking, so the dinner we originally planned is going to have to wait until next week.
Tomorrows bento is filled with sushi rice and spicy curry-peanut furikake, carrot kinpira, babybel cheese, sesame crackers and some banana pudding – this time with pieces of banana added for extra fun
Guest blogged by dan_e
Bento #3: the instant BentoMarch 26th, 2010
Pancakes with baby bel cheese, fresh pineapple chunks, and an omelette with Chinese herbs (from a package). In the green round bowl rice on the omelette cuttings.
I used to make dolls houses and miniatures – a few are still visible at my other website – and because of that I have a lot of figurative paper punches. They can – so I have learned – also be used to punch in Nori… See the little witch on the rice.

In the computer industry, it is often necessary to certify or otherwise verify or test specific hardware for compatibility with specific software. For example, a provider of an operating system or other software my wish to indicate to customers or would-be customers what particular models of one or more manufacturer's computer equipment can run a particular version of the software. Testing for compatibility often involves running a suite of tests on the computer equipment. If the computer equipment can be configured many different ways, as is typical with most personal computers, tests can be run against various system configurations.
The variety of configuration options of some types of computing equipment has ballooned due to wide variation in chipsets, peripheral devices, storage devices, and adapters available for use with standard interfaces. Thus, configurations tested do not always account for all of the hardware options. More configurations can be tested, but keeping track of all the various options that are or can be used is sometimes a challenge. In addition, there is often a desire on the behalf of both hardware vendors and software suppliers to limit the testing in some way to gain efficiency, while still maintaining the ability to be reasonably certain as to what configurations will and will not work with a specific software product.
Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method to verify compatibility of computer equipment with a software product. For purposes of illustration, it can be assumed that compatibility of a particular model of personal computer, server, or workstation is being verified relative to a version of an operating system. However, the system and method of the invention can be employed to verify compatibility of any type of computer equipment with any type of software. For instance, an embodiment of the invention may be employed to verify the compatibility of particular adapter cards, peripherals, memory configurations, or the like with an application software product.
In at least some embodiments, a method of verifying compatibility of computer equipment with a software product includes gathering information about at least one configuration of the computer equipment, and creating at least one file based on the information. The file or files can serve to coordinate testing of the computer equipment. The testing produces results that can then be stored and analyzed or evaluated. The results can be contained in a file or a plurality of files. The results provide a description of the configuration or configurations of the computer equipment in addition to whether the testing has produced any failures.
In some embodiments, the method of verifying compatibility can include confirming the description of the computer equipment configuration or configurations with the vendor of the computer equipment. In some embodiments these descriptions or parts of these descriptions are stored in a configuration database with a notation of, or as an indication of having been successfully tested. This configuration database can then be accessed to provide test credit when new models or configurations are being verified, thus reducing the amount of future testing that needs to be done. This credit can be applied during or prior to the testing of a new model or new configuration, or after results have been gathered for analysis, or at any other place in the verification process. Test credit can also be applied based on testing to be done elsewhere, such as by the hardware vendor or a third party.
In some embodiments, a file or files created for the testing can be or include a walkthrough file, which provides instructions to a tester, and a kickstart file or a plurality of kickstart files, which can guide a software installer. The functions of the walkthrough file and a kickstart file can be combined into one file, which can also include the test software. The walkthrough can provide instructions to a tester for configuring the computer equipment for various tests and for booting an installer for each configuration to load the software product for which compatibility is being verified as well as test software. Each kickstart directs the booting of the installer and the loading of test software. In such embodiments, the computer equipment being tested can be repeatedly configured, booted with the appropriate installer, and tested, and each test produces a result which can include a description of the configuration tested. The walkthrough and kickstart files can be generated at least in part by executing a configuration survey which questions a tester about the various possible configurations of the computer equipment to gather this information.
The present invention will now be described in terms of specific, exemplary embodiments. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed. It should also be understood that not every feature of the methods and systems described is necessary to implement the invention as claimed in any particular one of the appended claims. Various elements and features of various embodiments are described to fully enable the invention. Also, throughout the description of the various features and elements of the embodiments disclosed herein, like reference numbers refer to like structures, elements, or processes. It should also be understood that throughout this disclosure where a process or method is shown or described, elements of the method may be invoked in any order or simultaneously, unless it is clear from the context that this cannot be the case. Also, time lags and waiting intervals between various elements or sub-processes of a method can vary.
Test server 104 of
For purposes of the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein, test software is any software that tests the hardware of EUT 102. In many cases, this test software will take the form of applications that are retrieved from test server 104 over network 106 and installed on EUT 102. A configuration survey is a list of questions posed to gather configuration information about various configuration options for a model of computer equipment, for which EUT 102 is representative. The configuration survey can be used to gather information about hardware and peripheral options that are not actually present in EUT 102, but that are supported as options by the computer equipment vendor on the model represented by EUT 102. In one exemplary embodiment, the configuration survey is written in a high-level programming language or takes the form of a script. It runs on test server 104 and poses the questions to a human tester at EUT 102 or another computer system co-located with EUT 102, for example, through a Web browser, or at the test server itself. The tester supplies configuration information by answering the questions. Examples of such questions might include, "How many video adapter cards are supported in this model?" or, "How much RAM is supported in this model?" Although the exemplary embodiments presented herein assume that the configuration survey poses questions to a human tester, it would be possible to design a system in which the configuration survey actually looks up the answers to such questions in a database or file.

The similarity of models of computer equipment can be determined based on specific processors types, numbers of processors supported, architecture, front-side bus chips, memory type, maximum memory amount, or other specifics. Electrically identical hardware options can be eliminated from the testing of a model judged the same as or similar to a previously tested model based on these fundamental system components. A model of computer equipment that uses the same drive controller, type of hard drive, and memory type as a similar, previously verified model would not need to have either the hard drive or the memory re-tested as long as neither the maximum size of the hard drive supported nor the maximum amount of memory supported exceeds those maximums for the previously tested model.

A pretty good indicator of how hard Stan Bowman was working the phones on the eve of the NHL trade deadline was that the Blackhawks general manager was losing his voice.
Bowman said Sunday he was "still optimistic" the Hawks would pull off a trade before Monday's 2 p.m. deadline.
"There's a lot of talking still," Bowman said. "It's probably one of those things where the first domino has to fall, and then that will spur a lot of other things going on. There is a lot of waiting at this point. I've been on the phone all day."

Now compare all that -- the diverse sonic palette, the D&D lyrics, Sanchez's awesome tonsil-thrashing falsetto wail -- to the music of the bands that C&C has toured and become associated with, so-called emo bands that proffer homogeneous, post-hardcore, minor-chord choruses and sentimental lamentations on teenage angst and disillusionment. Sure, C&C's music is emotional, and sure, its sound has that tough-but-vulnerable quality that allows the group to fit in as an opener for New Found Glory. But are those two acts in the same league? Not even close.
Perhaps the most telling distinction between C&C and its trendy, business-savvy peers is that the marketing people aren't gonna have such an easy time packaging an outfit that sings, "Pull the trigger and the nightmare stops." What, after all, would Joe Lieberman think? To his credit, Sanchez doesn't worry about that kind of stuff.
"Maybe In Keeping Secrets has more of those types of radio-friendly songs -- 'A Favor House Atlantic,' 'Blood Red Summer' -- but those songs weren't really written for that effect. We wrote them because we like writing songs. We like the Cars. We just write 'em to write 'em."
But surely, with successful dates on the Warped Tour and in Japan, a steadily growing following and the band's affiliation with this hip new thing called emo, there must be some major-label interest in the exploits of Coheed & Cambria, right?
"They've come; they've talked to us," Sanchez says. "We really don't know where we stand so far. We're just like, 'Wow, these people are taking us out to dinner. Awesome!'"

This Moodhouse Podcast makes me wanna rub vegetable oil all over my body and deep fry myself!
%s1 / %s2
Welcome back to our weekly installment of STOP SLEEPING, your one stop shop for all that is new and amazining...at least to us.
This week has been an intesting week for me, I have had this underlying edge of pissy-ness that has been hiding out just below the surface. This is what lead to the back and forth with Blockhead that was the basis of our SNL debate, it has caused me to make fun of every album that Del has sent out over the last week and I even told a few kids to get off my lawn!
So in an attempt to get out of this funk I am going to unload it all now, hopefully next week I will be back to my old rose-colored self, either that or drunk.
Whew...I feel much better now. Thanks for letting me vent. As always we hope you enjoy our selections and please STOP SLEEPING on these artists.
Ben Enalo is a gigantic sack of delicious and sensual sound, that is as easy as it is intense. Hailing out of Hudson, NY Ben Enalo creates a sound that feels as though it was plucked out of the surrounding scenary. Just far enough of way from NYC that it retains the sensibility of the the boroughs but far enough removed that you can get lost elements and beauty of the area. Ben's sound bridges the gap between the two; with a blend of strings, keys and guitars that swell and circle, every shifting with the winds and the lo-fi vocals and drums that sound plucked out of EL-P's arsenal of sounds. His EP Thinking Lowly from High Places drips with delicate colors and emotions yet retains a harder edge, an edge that comes with life experience. The shit is epic yo!
Maybe I've been listening to too many of the Skeetwood Mac mash-ups that Del sent me earlier in the week (see Del's Entry), but lately it seems that everything is either influenced, sampled, re-mixed, or mashed up from classic Fleetwood Mac tracks. Every now and then indie music seems to go through these dad rock obsessions; last year around this time I remembered hearing a shit ton of Michael McDonald influenced tracks. Today were are in the midst of a Fleetwood Mac phase and I'd be lying if I said that I'm not enjoying it. This brings me to Psychic Twin, and electro-pop duo out of Chicago. Their second single 'Dream State' sounds a lot like this track called 'Dreams' from this band called...ummm, who is it?....oh yes, Fleetwood Mac. It is so dope..and dare I say dreamy?
I'm not one of those annoying Japan-ophiles that suck off the country's sushi flavored dick until it bukkakes anime and JPop all over my face, but there is some damn good music stuffs goin' on across the Pacific pond in Mario land. Take Toe, for example. Since I heard of them a few years back they seem like they've started to gain something of a following, if only, at best, a cult one. The music they play is decidedly post-rock, eschewing, most notably, any trace of vocals in the grand majority of their songs. What we get instead are complex, multi-layered soundscapes from four guys, two guitars, a bass, and a drummer. And damn, do they play it tight. The songs are organized so that each instrument shines and will make you, the humble listener, nod your head all heroin-addict like, because it's orgasmic. Ultimately, the best thing I can compare them to is SYFFAL favorite Dietrich, the band of Argentine Mexicans that have been making our ears wet for the last while. Probably one of the most perfect concert line-ups ever would be Dietrich and Toe playing together, though there would be cum stains just everywhere by the end of the night, and everybody would get pregnant. SOMEBODY MAKE IT HAPPEN!
To dove tail what Tommy talked about may I present to you Skeetwood Mac's delicious brand of mom jean mash ups. I haven't been this over the moon over a single serving mash up marriage since i rocked the Wugazi mixes till my ears bled. Inspired themed mash ups are always more impressive than just the run of the mill "let me throw a bunch of shit against the wall and see what sticks" mixes that pepper the internet air waves. Sticking with one band requires disciple dedication, and an insane ability to break down the details and find the common bond. This is god damn art and anyone else who says otherwise is a dick. A big huge flopping dick. Go get at this free EP NOW!
Jayk Gallagher is probably the person that I SHOULD have at least met the most in LA. Dude is everywhere. He's a actor acting and doing his acting thing, he's a comedian comedying and doing his comedy thing, he's a rapper rapping and doing his rap thing, he's in a band banding and doing band things. From projects with beat celebrity, Always Prolific, to shows with hip hop's everyman VerBS, to a zillion commercial and bit parts, to his band Hobart With Fink, the reason we ain't hung out is because I can't keep up with dude. Most people say they don't know how I keep my hands in all them cookie jars, but Jayk got his hands, and his feet, and his schwang, and his glasses in a jar somewhere. Fuck it, dude might actually be the cookie jar! Whoa, mind blown! Pshhhow! Download, Seismic, JG's latest little EP full o'rappin'. It's dope!
Racecar is one of my favorite rappers on the planet. He moved to Paris or some shit, and he randomly sends me things, but I want him and everyone else out in the internet to remember how fucking amazing this dude's voice is. I've told him he's one of my favorites before, but I don't think I've ever taken the time to scream RACECAR PUT OUT MORE MUSIC YOU BASSASTARD! Dude's flow is fucking conversational, relaxed and effortless. If this dude puts out more music soon, you will be crushed under my incessant boasting about my manlove for this dude's smartistry. YEAH, SMARTISTRY BRO. RACECAR I LOVE YOU DUDE.
As far as somewhat recent doom metal band recommendations goes, Salome consistently makes their way into the top of my mental list. The reason I'm specifying "mental" is that no one actually ASKS me what my favorite doom bands worth checking out these days are. Nope, the only kind of question I ever seem to get these days is "No." (which, while not truly a question, often gets said in such an insulting tone that it might be misconstrued as such). Anyway, give this a listen and see why I deem it worthy. It is pretty damn slow and even when it picks up the pace, it is sort of like the dickhead on the highway who speeds up for 10 seconds to pass you and then returns to his previous glacial pace. Oh, and yes, most of those vocals are done by a nice lady.
Matty Slims is a smoothed-out ceremonial master hailing from the almighty San Jose with just enough rugged nuggets to still make mom uncomfortable. Being no stranger to the track (having helmed several solo endeavors) he cruises in the lane that shows convention its middle finger while exhaling. 2012's "The Sunset District EP" put $leemz (a/k/a Matty Slims) on my radar; fattened synths, wobbly high-hats, sauntering kicks, and Matty Slims sitting in his throne; holding court over his relaxed kingdom. In the meantime sink your ears into this collaboration with SYFFAL favorite Opski Chan.

Teaching and Learning
Personal Skills and volunteering - CAP have delivered several courses in partnership with Sahara based on exploring the use of personal skills for volunteering within the community. The course is designed to enable women attending the Sahara Project to find out more about their own skills and how they might be used within a voluntary context.
This course enables the women to build their confidence, gain accreditation and identify their own goals to move forward in training, education or employment. The course supports women who are in the early stages of volunteering and enable them to recognise how skills gained from voluntary work can be used to increase their employability.
Time is spent on specific cultural and religious influences and pressures
on women as the majority of the group are from Indian and Pakistani Muslim
Sahara also run short courses in:

One story I forgot to link in this post -- feature on the Davison boys golf team as it prepares to try and win a state championship
The support for Mr. Perani is vast. Here's another story with reaction from current Nashville Predators assistant coach Peter Horachek along with the owner of the IHL's Fort Wayne franchise
The Big 9 preseason boys golf tournament was today. Here's a look at a feature on Davison's golf team, which has high expectations this season.
Also, here's additional family reaction on Bob Perani's passing
Here's a look at the obit on Bob Perani from Sunday.
Attendance was pretty low at both home games. But keep in mind, the Red Wings played same night as Game 3, and without the jumbotron technology or interactive scoreboard like many pro arenas have, people likely opted to stay home in favor of watching the Wings. Game 4 was also a pretty sparse crowd though. I think there was a lot of negativity built up around this team this season because of the uncertainty, but that could change going forward. On the ice, the team has been successful.
Here's a link to feature story on Flushing baseball player Kyle Randick from earlier Friday. As a 15-year-old sophomore, he's dominating both at the plate and on the mound
Don't call them "Coney" dogs there, but Yesterdog in East Town has best chili dogs in state, country, world. Lapuma's Coney downtown Rochester is also very solid.
Do you think Thomas has enough left in the tank to lead Boston out of the East?
In case you missed it, here's a look at our season preview for high school baseball in the Flint-area, which posted yesterday
Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression he was traded prior to the season. I'll update it.
Here's the details from the Warriors Game 1 victory http://bit.ly/Iia0d9 Do you think they need to win both games at home or can they win a deciding Game 5 on the road?
Here's a nice breakdown of the entire NAHL playoffs, including the Warriors-Fighting Falcons series, from JuniorHockey.com as well http://bit.ly/HSLqh5
Valid point and I'm not sure if things will change, but I think they can. The biggest difference could be in the new arena-ownership agreement, which has shifted much of the marketing and administrative duties over to the team at Fairland Management. Perhaps they will be able to devise ways to market the team better and reach out to the community for support. Again, I'm not totally convinced the Warriors will survive long term, but I think they deserve the chance to be successful in that whatever happen with the Generals shouldn't hinder the support for this team.
Thanks for the comments everyone. I think what stands out the most here is that the marketing of the team needs to improve. The Warriors website is rarely updated, even to the point where myself along with two other media outlets (at least) had stories up about the team reaching a new agreement to stay in Flint even before the Warriors own website did. That shouldn't happen. They need to hire a full-time media relations person who's job it is to push information on media and keep fans up to date on their website along with facebook and twitter, at least that's my opinion.
I 100 percent agree with you that the name should change to Flint. Part of getting the community to embrace you comes with embracing it yourself as well. While the team could leave just as easily down the road if it were named Flint (maybe more paperwork), I think branding the team as "Michigan" Warriors creates a little bit of detachment from the city. I would like to see that changed.
True, you likely won't see a lot of fighting or the old-school mentality of hockey at Warriors games. It's not the same hardcore hockey atmosphere in terms of fan bases either, as I stated in the column. I get that (although you can get a 24 oz beer for a very reasonable $4.50). It's a different brand of hockey and entertainment, but I think it could be successful if given a chance.
Stephen, thanks. That's a good point about this year's Warriors team. Was speaking more about junior hockey as a whole, which tends to have a lot of high-school aged players competing -- kids that are basically too good for the high school level and are looking for another outlet to play with hopes of drawing attention of scouts. Teams like the Whalers I think are looking to get kids into the NHL, while the Warriors level is looking to get kids into college.
They are staying. Story was written a few weeks ago. Here's the link
I didn't even know they had somebody in charge of PR, and I'm a reporter. Not sure who that makes look worse, me or them. I've been dealing either directly with Coach Mantha or with Jim Cain of Firland and a couple others, but no PR person. Either way, that needs to improve. Junior hockey is actually a great concept and a good product, so I think it can be successful. They've got to win over fans first.

Benton Springs
Someone tall and angular can rock this; I cannot. The size runs very large too. The Benton Springs long sleeve is equally large and boxy. I don't like the pocket placement either. The fleece is nice though.
