Bucs Beat AFC Champs!*
August 27, 2012 at 03:47pm by Scott • 2 Comments »
* may not mean as much now as it would have in February.
NFL Network finally broadcasted the Bucs/Pats game Sunday afternoon after airing a couple other games twice (#BuccaneerConspiracy) so I got around to watching it last night. I came away much more impressed with many aspects of the team, obviously concerned about some others, and disgusted at the amount of cheering Pats fans there were in the stands.
Losing Davin Joseph for the year is huge. Like, super huge. It may be the biggest loss the team could have, and I'm including Josh Freeman. There was so much hinging on the run game this season and Joseph and Carl Nicks were going to be those bookend guards to give Doug Martin the cracks he needed to break his big runs. I assumed Ted Larsen would be the starter in Joseph's place, and that would have been a big step down. Larsen is good, but he's not at Joseph's level. But now Greg Schiano is saying that they're going to try a few different things out. No one else on the roster is any better than Larsen, so that probably means he's going to see who gets cut this week and bring in a couple guards to compete with Larsen to start.
You may object to me saying that Joseph is a bigger loss than Freeman would have been, but have you seen anything from Freeman this preseason so far that makes him stand out? Several passes off-target, a seemingly rebellious refusal to run when there are yards and yards of green in front of him, just doesn't look sharp. He had a couple good passes Friday, but just not sucking isn't enough. Not for a fourth year franchise quarterback. Dan Orlovsky has been more precise with his throws and more productive. I'm not advocating for Orlovsky to be the starter and I recognize that Freeman is generally playing against better competition than Orlovsky, but Freeman should be clearly better than him at this stage, and he's not.
Doug Martin has Emmitt Smith-type balance. You see it in just about every run. No defender is going to bring him down with an arm tackle or by throwing themselves at his feet. He can spin and twist and stumble but his knee never touches until he gets hit squarely. He's a living weeble.
It was good to see Vincent Jackson catch some balls and be a big part of that first drive. He is as advertised and that's good because he's going to need that big radius to catch some awkward balls if the offensive line isn't going to give the quarterback the time he needs to step up.
Speaking of which, is it just me or did Donald Penn look sluggish? Seems like he got pushed around some on Friday. He definitely let Chandler Jones get inside him on the play where Joseph as injured. Not that it's Penn's fault or anything, but Penn allowing that kind of pressure is unusual.
Though I wasn't keeping an exact count, I do remember a lot of bullshit penalties, too. False start, delay of game, illegal formation… all useless penalties. It may be a useless statistics, but it can't be helping.
I don't know what happened to Preston Parker during the offseason to make him not be able to hang onto a punt, but he should not be allowed to field punts ever again. If the Bucs keep six receivers and ditch Arrelious Benn, he will probably stick. But guys on the back half of the roster need to be able to do something on special teams and his value is declining quickly if he can't field punts.
Someone said something during the broadcast about Dallas Clark not being able to block. I saw him block a couple times and he was fine at it. No pancakes or anything, but the guy he was blocking got moved away from the flow of the ball. That's all they need him to do.
Both Gerald McCoy and Adrian Clayborn got tweaked during the game and left early. Still, the defensive line showed some life with Michael Bennett and Roy Miller. Beyond that, despite the numbers, the depth on the line gets pretty thin. The Bucs will be scouting for this position as well this week, and if they don't find anyone they like, guys like Wallace Gilberry and E.J. Wilson will be getting roster spots, which seemed incomprehensible last year.
The Patriots ran for 168 yards with an average of 5.4 YPC. That's a lot — in fact, it's more than Freeman's yards per attempt. It didn't actually seem that way during the game since Adam Hayward and Lavonte David were always around the ball, Hayward especially making some big plays. And Mason Foster, the starting MLB, wasn't playing. Jeff Demps did his share to boost their average with a 29-yard run and that was against backups, so maybe it isn't as the stats. But I've got a real feeling that teams are going to test the Bucs' run game early in the season. They've got a reputation of giving up a lot of running yards, and until they prove everyone else wrong in a regular season game, that's going to be the assumption around the league.
One factor other teams will have to consider now is Mark Barron. He can flat-out hit. He's been equally impressive in run support and pass coverage and has shown so far that he was worthy of the #7 overall pick. If the Bucs can have a true intimidator patrolling the secondary like they did when John Lynch was around, they'll get part of that nasty edge back that they had all those years ago. Barron might be that guy.
The last preseason game is Wednesday night. My DirecTV schedule says it will be broadcast live on Comcast SportsNet, channel 642. We'll see if that actually happens, but hopefully I'll be able to review the game less than a week after it happens this time.
Safety Dance
August 22, 2012 at 12:18am by Scott • 4 Comments »
Stephen Holder wrote a good article about the Bucs' situation at safety and how it looks like one of the deeper positions on the team right now. He makes a few good points, all of which I will repeat here and claim as my own, mostly because I thought the same things anyway; he just wrote them before I did.
Ronde Barber and Mark Barron are the starters. This much is a given. After that we have Cody Grimm, Larry Asante, Ahmad Black, Tramain Thomas, Sean Baker and Keith Tandy. Grimm has experience on his side, although if the team was truly happy with him they wouldn't have drafted Barron or moved Barber to safety. I think he's on the bubble. Asante has had a good camp and makes plays in preseason, but also misses some plays and some tackles. The potential is there but not the consistency. Black has been amazing and is probably a lock to make the team unless he kidnaps a hooker sometime in the next two weeks (he's a Gator, so this isn't as ridiculous as it sounds, especially if the hooker has some good weed (I am not accusing Black of smoking weed, just making a generalization about Gators (Sept 15, baby))). Thomas and Baker are pocketing their per diems because they know they won't be employed much longer. And Tandy has the distinction of being listed as a "DB" rather than a safety, meaning be can play both which is always nice.
The Bucs could keep five safeties, but probably won't. They have depth issues on the defensive line that they'll probably address with that extra body. If I had to guess now, they'll keep Black and Grimm and try to sneak Tandy onto the practice squad. If called upon in a game, I'd trust Grimm's experience over Tandy's potential at this point.
Looking Good At Safety
August 01, 2012 at 09:09am by Scott • 1 Comment »
With two new starters at safety, there's a lot of learning going on in the defensive backfield. But Mark Barron is glad to have a guy an elder statesman (read: old man) like Ronde Barber back there to lean on.
"Sometimes I just sit back and watch Ronde to pick up some of the things he knows," said Barron, who couldn't wait to strap on the pads two days into camp. "There isn't too much in this league Ronde Barber hasn't seen. When I ask him for help, he usually has a good answer for me."
And Ronde is just happy to be doing something different after all these years.
"I want to play and I want to win," Barber said. "It's not often you get to find new challenges in your 16th year, new opportunities to prove yourself."
Watching Ronde plug a gap and flatten a runner is one of things I'm most looking forward to seeing this season. He's always been a good hitter and with his age and, let's face it, slightly diminished coverage skills, it's a good fit.
Speaking of diminished coverage skills, when everyone was looking for a knock on Barron, they picked on his coverage skills even though as a sophomore he picked off seven passes. People were just looking for some flaw in his game that they could talk about since he was so awesome. But Bill Sheridan doesn't have any issues with Barron in coverage and has seen some good plays in practice already.
"The other day we had a deep ball thrown down one of the sides of the field and Barron sure covered a lot of ground in a hurry," Sheridan said. "The kid's got great range. He's going to have his hands on a lot of balls."
Bill Sheridan would like rephrase his optimism.
Hey, Look What Happened
July 23, 2012 at 12:36pm by Scott • 1 Comment »
Right on time, Mark Barron signed his contract, is now officially employed and can hire someone to smack Brian Price back for him if he wants.
The deal for the safety from Alabama includes a signing bonus of $8.961 million and base salaries of $390,000 in 2012, $1.047 million in 2013, $1.705 million in 2014, and $2.362 million in 2015, Profootballtalk.com reported.
Here's something I didn't know (or maybe forgot): Contracts for the first 16 picks of the draft are all fully guaranteed. So when I was advocating the Bucs go ahead and fully guarantee the contract, they had to do it anyway. Last year when Adrian Clayborn was the 20th pick, the Bucs didn't have to fully guarantee it but they did anyway.
Barron's contract did not contain any offset language, so if the Bucs decide to cut him before the contract is up, they're on the hook for the guarantee whether or not he gets a job somewhere else. The legal term for this is "Woohoo!", although it's not likely to be an issue with Barron. If he gets into enough trouble off the field to justify getting cut, no other team will want that kind of mess (with the possible exception of the Raiders). And if he gets hurt and can't play for a season, the Bucs will ride it out with him a la Cadillac Williams.
As for what Barron was missing on the rookies' first two days at One Buc Place, coach Greg Schiano said Thursday, "He's missed some repetitions, especially (important) for a rookie we're counting on."
But only with other rookies, so it's probably not a big deal. Once the veterans get there, it all kicks in in earnest and then every rep is important. I know because I've seen Hard Knocks twice and can tell you everything that happens in training camp.
Bold Prediction: Barron Will Sign Soon
July 19, 2012 at 02:04pm by Scott • 2 Comments »
PFT is predicting that Mark Barron could be the next first round pick to sign a contract because of ironclad "rumblings" they're hearing. And I've also heard "whispers" that none of this matters much because rookies have little reason to hold out anymore. Predicting Barron will sign soon is like predicting it will rain in Tampa this week. It's probably a safe bet even if you're not a meteorologist.
Last year, the Bucs were willing to overdo things at bit at No. 20, fully guaranteeing defensive end Adrian Clayborn's deal even though the slot ultimately didn't justify it.
A full guarantee of a high draft pick at the reasonable cost of the new rookie scale seems fine to me. After all the time and money a team pours into making its decision for a first round pick, if the player turns out to be a bust and they want to cut him before the four year contract is up, they kind of deserve to eat that. Especially a pick as high as Barron, #7. If the Bucs don't have his first grade attendance record and colonic map on file, they're not doing their jobs. So make the guarantee and let's get this shit started already.
Mark Barron Hasn't Reported Yet
July 18, 2012 at 11:25am by Scott • 1 Comment »
Even though camp doesn't begin until July 26, the rookies have to report today to make sure their shoulders are strong enough to carry all the veteran pads and that they are educated on all the best places to buy the veterans breakfast. But at this point with his contract still not finalized, Mark Barron will not be attending just yet.
The good news: that could change soon. With this morning's news that Redskins quarterback Robert Griffith III signed his four-year deal, it wouldn't be surprising to see a flurry of signings for the picks that remain unsigned. Most of the unsigned players are the top picks; Griffith is the first player in top eight selections to sign his deal.
My understanding is that the top players aren't signing because they want their guaranteed money to be guaranteed even if they get cut and get another job, effectively getting two salaries for that period. And to that I say, fuck no. If one of the top eight rookies is bad enough to get cut inside of four years and someone else is dumb enough to sign him, he's their problem. Why should he receive a double salary? What incentive does a player with that kind of contract have to perform well? Hell, he'll want to get cut as long as his agent can get him another job somewhere. Standing up for how much you think you should be worth is fine, and if you think you're worth twice the going rate for your position, then take that number to your team and try to get it from them straight up. But don't try to job the system like this. It's already guaranteed. Now you're just being greedy.
Weekend Links for your Reading Pleasure

I have no idea when Scott will return or if he is even alive at this point. So in the meantime I will continue posting until he either gets back or permanently revokes my posting ability. I actually have nothing of worth to say, so I figured I would just provide an aggregate listing of Buc related web stories that you could read at your own leisure.
Eric Wright, whom Scott poignantly referred to as our 'rumored free agent acquisition' , will in fact NOT face charges stemming from his DUI arrest earlier this month. I don't really care or have an opinion one way or another (I do however reject the idea that having a chemical in your bloodstream while driving automatically makes you a criminal), but I am curious if Da Commissar will reprimand him.
Staying in the Defensive Backfield, Mark Barron is still not signed. I was under the impression the CBA was designed to eliminate this kind of drama, but what do I know?
Eric LeGrand received an ESPY this week. I don't want to come off as an a-hole, but they are really milking this story.
Drew Breese is getting paid. Nice guy, wrong team, I am thrilled for him, bummed for the Bucs.
For those interested in the history of Friday the 13th, here is what 'the W' has to offer by way of background.
REAR ENTRIES: Just Get It Done
June 29, 2012 at 10:13am by Scott • 4 Comments »
TRAINING CAMP: I guess I never posted the Bucs training camp schedule. Here are the dates that are open to the public. The non-public dates are when it turns into a fight club.
MARK BARRON STILL UNSIGNED: The Bucs still haven't agreed to terms with Mark Barron, but no one thinks it's a big deal and none of the top eight picks have signed yet. Stephen Holder seems to think the issue is how guaranteed money is paid if the player gets cut or traded within four years. Way to believe in yourselves, boys. "If I suck, I want to make sure I get fully compensated for sucking, and then I want to have the ability to get paid by another team for sucking for them during the same season." Somewhere at the bottom of an aquarium of purple drank, JaMarcus Russell is smiling.
ERIC LEGRAND: Here's a happy way to end the week. Eric LeGrand has his own rookie football card! And he's also set to release his biography in September (with a separate version for kids). And he is preparing to host a weekly radio show in the Fall in addition to some television work. And he's about to graduate with this degree in labor studies. Oh, and he is in practically constant physical therapy and can now sit up on his own. What have you done today?
Brian Price Punched Mark Barron
June 20, 2012 at 11:16am by Scott • 3 Comments »
This is old news by now since it happened months ago and got reported on a couple days ago, but it's worth covering since big dudes are punching each other and that's always entertaining. At the beginning of an OTA day, the team was gathering in a meeting room for a meeting. Mark Barron was apparently in the seat that Brian Price wanted. Price told Barron to get up and Barron refused. And then, SNAP!
In short order, Barron was getting pummeled by Price. The third-year tackle was said to have gotten in a good number of punches before teammates pulled him off Barron. Both players were removed from the meeting as Barron's face was said to be bloodied.
And now the mystery of why Price was staying away from minicamp is solved.
A couple points here. First, I don't think anyone is going to blame Price for losing his shit at anything. The guy has been through more trauma and tragedy in the last few years than most of us will face in a lifetime. The fact that he hasn't gone Falling Down on the city of Tampa is, frankly, a blessing. But this kind of action cannot be condoned regardless of the excusability of the cause. You can't have a loose cannon walking around a meeting room with everybody averting their eyes so as to not get a mouthful of his fist. It's good he's got a chance to get away and compose himself, but if this kind of thing happens again, he has to be suspended. It has to be team first or the whole system is screwed.
Second, I know rookies are supposed to be the plebeians of the football world and they're expected to carry pads and buy breakfast and shit, but this isn't Hell Week and Barron isn't rushing the Buccaneers. He's already part of the team and a grown man and doesn't need to move because a veteran tells him he's in his seat. That's what bullies do on the school bus and as we all know you have to stand up to bullies. I like the fact that Barron isn't intimidated and won't get pushed around. I'll bet that shows up on the football field, too.
Secondary Coming Together
June 04, 2012 at 11:34am by Scott • 1 Comment »
And just like that, an interesting article with good information. Pewter Report published a piece on the safety position, specifically Ahmad Black's role in it, and PFT did a good job of condensing it down if you don't feel like reading the whole thing. And now I'll condense it down even further.
Barber is now the starting free safety, while Barron is running with the first-team defense at strong safety. According to PewterReport.com, Ahmad Black has emerged as Barber's primary backup, with Grimm working behind Barron.
There are three other safeties in the mix besides those four: Larry Asante, Sean Baker and Tramain Thomas. From what we know, Devin Holland has moved from safety to corner. Teams generally keep four or five safeties, so Asante looks to be on the bubble while the others will serve as meat for the next couple months. The previous regime was high on Asante, but I haven't heard anything one way or the other as to what Schiano and the new coaches think of him.
One fundamental change that could hurt Black's opportunity for playing time is that the safety positions are no longer interchangeable as they were in the Bucs defense under Kiffin and Morris. Black hasn't been learning the strong safety spot at all.
Safety was a huge need coming out of the 2011 season and now it looks like a strength. And with the acquisition of Eric Wright, hopefully the Bucs have found someone to take Ronde's vacated spot at corner. The defensive backfield seems to be shaping up. Now if the defensive line can get a pass-rush going so the secondary isn't covering for ten seconds at a time, we'll be all set.

I do not think Bryant paid. They went to depositions, and when they got partway thru, they negotiated a payment.

Horrorphile on SCREENWRITING LEAVE
October 31st 2008 05:37
Actually the concept was born back in the early 90s when I was at university doing film and drama studies. It was only a paragraph or two, a loose premise an erotic nightmare - that concerned a male artist and a female demon. I had a title, imagery, and narrative ideas.
Over the years Id jot down on a bit of paper a visual or character idea, but it was really just a premise that existed for more than ten years. Then one September four years ago I decided to put pen to paper proper. In the space of a week I had written the treatment, and in another couple of weeks Id completed a 100-page first draft. It just poured out of me.
And then I shelved it. I knew Id come back to it, but I needed some distance, time out to let the story brood and fester. I watched movies that seemed to lift ideas straight from my screenplay, movies that dabbled with the same adult, boundary-pushing concepts Id formed all those years ago. It was frustrating.
The class, which was tutored through Metro Screen by the wonderful Karel Segers, studied several commercially successful movies that use these rules and formula and have applied them to their stories, creating narrative arcs that have been used time and time again, yet each of these movies remain characteristically individualistic and uniquely stylish.
I was very impressed with Karels approach. We discussed how there are certain movies we adore, that have fundamentally flawed screenplays (Blade Runner), while there are other childrens movies that slip under the radar whose screenplays are brilliantly engineered, such as the Pixar animated movies i.e. The Incredibles (and more recently the amazing WALL-E).
Now I am ready to begin work on a second draft of my screenplay.
Which brings me to the real point of this post; in order to commit to a high level of concentration I am taking leave of my blog for a couple of weeks as of this weekend. I will still be checking comments every few days, but I wont be posting anything new.
I trust you understand. I will be back with a vengeance. Happy Halloween! Ciao for now.

What the Ronald Reagan statue at the DCA airport says about D.C. autonomy
- 13 Photos
- (Photo: John Hendel/TBD)
Former president Ronald Reagan, who sat in the Oval Office from 1981 to 1989 and died in 2004, now stares out at travelers to the region's Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA). His lips curl into what's not quite a smile but an expression of warmth and welcome nonetheless. His bronze limbs look lean. His feet tilt into a stance that looks ready to step forward. His suit looks sharp and one button seals the coat. The man's entire body, of course, is composed of bronze, and this new visage of Reagan stands at nine feet tall and weighs more than 900 pounds — it's an image now visible to all travelers outside of Terminal A in our local airport across the Potomac river. Reagan would have turned 100 years old in February of 2011, and the statue is one in the latest of a series of honors, in cities from Budapest to London to this airport that bears Reagan's name. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation has sought to place a statue at the 70-year-old airport since 2007.
"America recognizes its heroes in very special ways," said Fred Ryan, chairman of the Board of Trustees for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, to the gathered crowd at this morning's unveiling ceremony. He emphasized how this new statue stood as a "tribute" to Reagan's legacy, one that continues the airport's name change in 1998, when both houses of Congress came together to change the decades-old name of Washington National Airport to Reagan National. "And it was signed into law by a Democratic president," Ryan declared.
Yet the name change reflects a damning and unfortunate reality about our nation's capital that's festered into a cause célèbre in recent years — the District lacks federal representation in Congress, and Ryan was talking about our airport.
Yes, Congress and the president did declare it should bear the name of the still-living former Republican president then, but many D.C. residents are hardly thrilled about the fact. Nor would any advocate of the District's autonomy be thrilled to recall how Congress pressured WMATA to change the name of the airport's Metro station. In the last decade, Congress pushed WMATA to rename the Washington National Airport Metro stop to match the new airport. They succeeded and the Metro stop is now known as the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport station. The cost of renaming was estimated at $400,000. Why would the District itself, an overwhelmingly Democratic city, elect to change the name of its airport to reflect a still-living two-term Republican president? The name change as well as the statue's installation today marks another revealing blow that the District has little say about its local airport and even the airport's WMATA station.
I've known more than a few locals who prefer to not even say "Reagan" when talking about the airport. They'll keep their words to "DCA" or "National." Mayor Vince Gray has embraced the idea of D.C.'s home rule at every change he can get, from marches to Hayden Panettiere Day, and even yesterday decried "ill-advised and unnecessary" legislation proposed by the House of Representatives' Darrell Issa (R-California), who wants to bring our city's hiring background checks under federal control.
The crowd watched his every word, leaning forward at the statue then covered in a dark blue cloth. In full disclosure, Ryan also acts as vice-chairman of Allbritton Communications Company, which owns this website. But this morning he acted to honor Reagan's legacy. How unfortunate that the legacy still creates complications for D.C. transportation. As Metro considers how to rename its stations and shorten many of them, just look at these recent Greater Greater Washington comments from this fall — one laments the idea that a federal body would require a "clunky" station name of 41 characters.
Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood as well as former Reagan administration transportation secretaries Elizabeth Dole and James Burnley stood and spoke beside the tribute to the country's former leader. Even former GOP senator and presidential nominee Bob Dole was there, posing with his wife beside the statue. "Elizabeth! Touch the statue!" one woman shouted at the former Reagan transportation secretary. After multiple calls to do so, Elizabeth Dole reached up and clasped the statue's hand. Everywhere there were cameras, everywhere microphones, everywhere people clicking a cell-phone pic and hoping to grasp what stood before them. Few seemed bothered by the legacy of what the statue represented to advocates of District home rule.
But the image of the newly unveiled Reagan statue bore symbolic placement at DCA.
To the left of the statue rose the long stretch of Metro track. Occasionally a train would roar by on its way to or from the federally-named WMATA station, forcing officials at the Reagan statue to pause and wait.
To the right, you could see the airport's historic Terminal A building in the distance beyond the flapping of an American flag. The exterior of the building featured not the renamed airport name but the old one — "Washington National Airport," emblazoned on the white surface.
How reasonable are these federally controlled actions and dictations until D.C. has its own voice in our nation's government? The federal government mandates the name of our local airport and of its associated Metro station and now we have a giant cheerful Reagan statue standing as a testament to these changes. This is the face that travelers from all over the world will see when they visit America's capital. Whether or not the airport and station should bear the former president's name, the decision, it seems to me, should have involved the beliefs of the rest of the people living in the District and Arlington County, where DCA is located (despite having a D.C. address and falling under federal control). Despite all the cheering and accolades on the field outside DCA today, those are the underlying issues I can't stop considering. The statue not only serves as a tribute to Reagan's presidency and legacy — it's a stark, sad reminder of the capital city's struggle for home rule.

A Beginner's Guide to German Wine
Excellent article about German Rieslings!
Excellent article about German Rieslings!
Blanca is extremely overrated. Dopey policy of no smartphone use (no problem for no pictures, but what do they care if I want to read the NYTimes while I'm waiting for the next tiny course). Left hungry; almost stopped into Roberta's for a pizza.
Extended tasting menu at Per Se. Wonderful, but too much food.
I did the "poor" person's version instead that was terrific: kobe beef, foie gras and truffle mayo--had originally requested the truffle sauce, but they brought the truffle mayo instead. Cost about half the price of the Rossini burger.
Looks wonderful to me! Definitely plan to try it soon!
Hope they start selling it across the street at ChikaLicious Dessert Club for take-out.
Cones in the West Village is my favorite. Great flavors. Very nice service. Not a fan of Grom, Il Lab or E&B.
Agree that the Kouign Amann is excellent at Macaron Parlour. Never had the DKA since it was already sold out when I stopped by Dominique Ansel.
Great photos! I was at the earlier dinner, and it was wonderful!
I had the yummy duck ramen at Ma Peche today.
My favorite chopped liver is at Sarge's (perfect mix of chicken liver, sauteed onions and hard-boiled egg). While I adore most things at Russ & Daughters, I'm not a fan of their chopped liver.
Cannot add to your query about why Jews love Chinese food, but I love all Asian food!
Wonderful report!
I love the Orange Julius! I've had it a several times, and it's delicious!
I LOVE German Rieslings, and find they pair perfectly with all types of food. So glad that Momofuku Ssam Bar had a Summer of Riesling dinner this year! I think EMP has the most extensive collection of Rieslings.
I went twice last week to Laduree. First, on Tuesday when the wait time was only 45 minutes. Second visit was Friday afternoon, when the wait time was 2 hours (credit card machine wasn't working and only one cash register). Both times the macarons were great! My favorites: caramel; lemon; coffee; vanilla; and (surprisingly) rose petal. Will wait a few weeks in hope that the wait time becomes more reasonable (no longer than 20 minutes). Want to do a taste test with my other favorite macaron, Bisous Ciao.
You forgot Ma Peche.
I love ChikaLicious Dessert Club's premium caramel and red velvet cupcakes. Perfect sized cupcakes.
I like Marseille (44 St. & 9th Ave.) for French brasserie food.
What a shame. Aureole used to be among my most favorite restaurants when they were at their townhouse on E. 61 St. I haven't been to their new location; sounds like I don't need to.
I've had dinner twice at Riverpark, and loved both times. Food is delicious (especially the cavatelli and lamb, duck, and rack of lamb). Agree that the beignets are yummy, as is the malt ice cream. Service is very friendly and professional. Views are gorgeous, and the outdoor tables will be among the most sought-after tables in all of Manhattan when the weather warms up again.
I agree about the "yummy" factor of the Artisanal Pumpkin Gnocchi. Was there for brunch this past weekend and ordered it, and it was wonderfu! Hope they keep this on the menu for a long time.
Do you know if you order dinner in the Salon (from the Salon menu) whether you would receive the same selection of mignardises? Definitely might be worth having dinner in the Salon.
Do you know if your order dinner in the Salon (from the Salon menu) whether you would receive the same selection of mignardises? Definitely might be worth having dinner in the Salon.
I recently bought honey cakes from Russ & Daughters and Sarge's, and both were great! Great flavor and texture, with a slight edge to Sarge's.
I've been to Ma Peche 4 times (both lunch and dinner) in the past 2 months. I've loved the fried cauliflower and fish sauce, the squid salad, the pork ribs, scallops, steak frites with the yummy rice fries. corn with lardo. Service has made great improvements; now it's perfect! More crowded at lunch. Early dinner is almost serene. Love having Milk Bar on the way out to pick up dessert. Crack pie slice was twice the usual size.
I haven't been to Momofuku Ko for dinner since November. Has anyone been there recently? Do you recall your menu? Thanks for your help.
I had dinner at the "new" Aureole last night. I call it "new" since they have a new chef--Chris Lee (formerly from Gilt). Food is exceptionally creative and delicious! I started dinner with a poached egg, grits, porcini mushrooms and prociutto di Parma--excellent (and I never wanted to try grits before). Main course was a venison tenderloin with pomegranate, dark chocolate sauce, macadamia nuts and sweet potato puree--yummy! Dessert was the lemon chiffon with citrus fruit and frozen sheep's milk yogurt--perfect way to end a spectacular dinner. Service remains flawless.
There's a reason the Salzburger Nockerl has lasting power on the ever-rotating menu at Wallsé, Chef Kurt Gutenbrunner's Austrian restaurant in the West Village; people are ordering it for dinner. I joined these ranks with enthusiasm several months back. When I considered shamelessly indulging my sweet tooth in lieu of an actual meal one evening, I was encouraged when the bartender divulged that I was not alone. More
Momofuku Ko turned five this year, and to celebrate David Chang and his crew brought back some of the classic dishes from years gone by for a limited two night engagement. The ten course menu featured classic dishes from the restaurant's history. More

VoluMill: The only 3-axis and 2-axis toolpaths you will ever need.
VoluMill is a high-performance toolpath engine from Celeritive Technologies that integrates directly into your existing CAM system. It handles any geometry, is easy to use, and outperforms all other toolpath technologies.
Using VoluMill in place of traditional roughing routines will reduce your cycle times, extend the life of your cutting tools, and place considerably less stress on your machine tools, thereby reducing your costs while increasing your productivity. VoluMill provides these benefits by fully utilizing the capabilities of modern machining hardware to control the rate of material removal. It plans the toolpath based on the abilities designed into the machine tools and cutting tools, irrespective of the shape being cut. Traditional toolpath strategies, by contrast, are derived from the geometry being machined, filling the bounded area with a zigzag pattern, or offsetting the boundary geometry until it collapses on itself.
Don't believe it? Take The VoluMill Challenge and see for yourself. Find out more.
Key Advantages and Benefits:
1) High-performance, smart toolpath engine.
2) Powerful, efficient toolpaths for open shapes.
3) Intelligent slot milling and side milling options.
4) Fast machining of small pockets.
5) Up to 100% stepover with no uncut material.
6) High-feed repositioning with floor clearance.
7) Cleanup Milling.
8) Automatic feedrate adjustment.
1) High-performance, smart toolpath engine.
VoluMill handles ANY part geometry with a single toolpath that outperforms all other rough-milling toolpaths where it matters most: on the shop floor. VoluMill toolpaths reduce cycle times and extend cutting-tool life.
2) Powerful, efficient toolpaths for open shapes.
A weak link in many CAM systems. Cut ANY combination of part/stock boundaries easily; all open edges are fully leveraged for efficient machining and to minimize plunging into the material.
3) Intelligent slot milling and side milling options.
For softer metals, provides the fastest possible cycle time. Intelligently selects slot milling or side milling to maximize the material removal rate. Feedrates and axial depths of cut are automatically adjusted in slot milling to maintain a constant material removal rate, and can be overridden by the programmer. For harder materials, users can require side milling over the entire toolpath to avoid burying the cutter.
4) Fast machining of small pockets.
The fastest way to clear out small pockets. Efficient, specialized tool motion for tight spaces; VoluMill automatically applies this special milling logic as needed.
5) Up to 100% stepover with no uncut material.
Complete floor cleanup is always ensured. NO uncut stands of material will be left behind regardless of the size of the stepover. No special motion required, no extra option to learn.
6) High-feed repositioning with floor clearance.
Fully leverages the machine's capabilities. Tool moves safely and as quickly as possible when not engaged in material. Clears the floor by a small amount when repositioning at the highest possible speed without dragging it across an already-machined floor.
7) Cleanup Milling.
Use a small tool to cut material left by a larger tool in a previous operation. VoluMill motion ensures safe, efficient material removal.
8) Automatic feedrate adjustment.
Maintains a more consistent load on the cutting tool. No feedrate optimizer needed; VoluMill toolpaths include precise and automatic feedrate optimization.

You probably know him as: That guy who isn't afraid to say he thinks he's one of the top five golfers in the world.

That victory gave him three wins in 14 events, including his Humana Challenge title that was highlighted by three consecutive rounds of 63. If you're not ready to call the man who previously led Augusta State to back-to-back national titles a top-five player yet, just call him "Mr. 63." We doubt he'll mind.

Orange Leaf frozen yogurt open in Barboursville
BARBOURSVILLE -- Self- serve frozen yogurt is a fast-growing trend as chains like Pinkberry and Red Mango have been popping up in cities across the nation.
One chain that has seen explosive growth across the country is Orange Leaf, which has expanded to more than 140 locations nationwide. The chain's first West Virginia location opened Monday at River Place Plaza.
Meredith Lynne, director of public relations for Orange Leaf, attributes the chain's success to the franchises having an easily replicated format and a quality product.
"Our product is richer and creamier than a lot of the yogurt out there," Lynne said. "The flavors are true to their name. Cotton candy tastes like you are at the fairground. Snickerdoodle tastes like it's fresh from the oven. They are flavors that people know and love. Most of our flavors have a sweet base rather than a tart base. We have two machines in our office where we test new flavors. We get new flavor ideas from our customers and franchisees every day. We test them out and if they're successful, we introduce them to our stores.
"While we are a national franchise we are very community focused." she added. "All of our franchisees are dedicated to supporting local causes. We are proud of them being active members in our communities."
The Barboursville location features eight soft serve machines, each serving two flavors. Cups are weighed by the ounce and customers can top their yogurt with an assortment of sprinkles, candies and fruit. The store also offers fresh made waffle bowls. Among the more exotic toppings are Ghiradelli brand chocolate syrup, "Popping Boba" brand Japanese candies and fresh mango. The store offers a wide variety of lowfat and nonfat yogurts in flavors ranging from chocolate to coconut to snickerdoodle. The store also offers a sugar free and dairy free flavor each day. All flavors are 44 cents per ounce. There are two cup sizes -- 24 ounce and 16 ounce.
"We decided to open a store after visiting a location in Columbus," said owner R.J. Harris. "We did some research online and contacted the main office in Oklahoma City. We found out that there we no franchises in West Virginia yet and if we wanted to we could open the first. We then flew out and met the owners in Oklahoma City. This space we moved into was initially rented by a pharmacist. We acquired the space after he decided not to put a pharmacy in this location. We ended up splitting the space with the new Pizza Hut. Once everything was processed, it took us about one month to have everything renovated before we were ready to open. We were held up about a week while we had to wait for the machines."
The store's machines are part of the chain's success, according to Harris.
"There's a patent on the machines and delivery process that Orange Leaf uses that adds some more oxygen to the mix," Harris said. "It softens up the yogurt and gives it a bit more of a sweeter taste."
Orange Leaf is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Cash and most major credit cards are accepted. Orange Leaf is located at 6007 U.S. 60 East, Suite 228 next to Pizza Hut. For more information, call 304-736-4088.

Often the most challenging part of applying to university is writing the personal statement in the UCAS form. It's your opportunity to stand out from the other thousands of applicants that we receive applications from.
We want the statement to tell us about you, and what you want to study and why. The question is, how do you do this successfully and without sounding like everyone else?
We've put together some information on this page for those people that are struggling with their personal statement.
The personal statement is 47 lines, or 4,000 characters (whichever greater), where you tell us why you want to study what you want to study, and why the universities you have applied to should make you an offer.
The personal statement is read by someone that is making a decision on whether to:
Most statements are read by academics with a role called the 'Admissions Tutor'. These academics are specialists in their subject area. They have normally completed their first degree, masters degree and their PhD (doctorate) in the subject area; they probably research the subject too.
The Admissions Tutor normally will teach, mark, research and do all the associated work of someone teaching. They have to make hundreds of decisions about who to offer a small number of places to. Making your statement stand out from the pile is really important!
Remember, most universities don't interview applicants and those that do base the interview questions, in part, on what you've said in the personal statement.
We've gathered some quotes from some of our Admissions Tutors who spend a lot of time reading statements.
"I like information in the statement that shows that students understands the subject that they have applied for and what using the degree professionally might entail after university."
"I like to know why the student has got to where they are now. If they have an interesting life story then they should tell it. However, if this has no relevance to the subject then it can put me off."
"I really like a well-structured personal statement; one that's easy to read and understand."
"The best personal statements get to the point quickly and demonstrate real enthusiasm. I look forward to teaching these students."

Marketing return on investmentMonday, October 3rd, 2011
Has your boss ever asked you this question: So, what was the return on investment for our last marketing campaign?
Calculating marketing ROI can be tricky, especially for an unseasoned marketer. But ROI is an important metric, and speaking in business terminology helps raise the profile of marketing within your organization while also presenting the business case for running your campaign.
To make it easier, start thinking about ROI before you run your campaign. By projecting ROI, you'll be able to compare initial projections to actual results which will help you diagnose any areas that under/over perform from your projections.
A good set of ROI tools always helps. In Growth Panel, use the following exercises in the Marketing Campaigns section of the Library: 530 - Quantify Your Campaign Goals; 533 - Campaign Budget & Metrics; 537 - Campaign Spreadsheet.
To build your projections:
- Estimate your response rate
- Project your response conversion rate
- Determine how many impressions & leads you'll need to hit your goals
- Project your profit (either gross or net)
- Record all costs
- Calculate projected ROI
When your campaign is complete, load your actual results and compare.
Below are screenshots of the Growth Panel tools that will calculate these for you. To access them now, set up a Growth Panel account and you'll have them in minutes.
Marketing Return on Investment Calculations
ROI is best used for targeted campaigns with a distinct offer and tracking mechanism. If you're running high-level brand-building campaigns without a trackable offer, it's a good idea to lump those costs into a "brand investment" category.
But for every other campaign, it's powerful to show your colleagues the profit returned for your marketing investments.

Boss was a title bestowed upon individuals who displayed extraordinary fighting capabilities and services to their country. Only two individuals were known to have held the title of "Boss."
- Big Boss (originally known as Naked Snake): the founder and commander of FOXHOUND, the private military contractor of Outer Heaven (originated from the Militaires Sans Frontières) and Zanzibar Land, and the genetic father of Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, and Solidus Snake.
- The Boss (originally known as The Joy): the mother of U.S. Special Forces, the founder and leader of the Cobra Unit, the biological mother of Ocelot, the co-creator of CQC, and the mentor/spiritual mother of Big Boss.

Stuart Lawrence, the younger brother of murdered teenager Stephen Lawrence has instructed a lawyer to raise a complaint against the Metropolitan Police, after complaining that he has been stopped more than 25 times because of his ethnic origin.
Mr Lawrence, 35, is a teacher and lives in Peckham, South London, with his fiancée and young son.
He says that the police regularly target him and can have no reason for doing so other than the colour of his skin.
The last straw for Mr Lawrence came in November when he was pulled over by officers whilst driving his VW Scirocco car. After he had been pulled over by the officers Mr Lawrence asked what had led them to stop him and was shocked when the officer replied that he was 'naturally suspicious' of him.
The story was first broken by The Daily Mail on Saturday, which carried an interview with Mr Lawrence, in which he stated that he believes skin colour is the motivation for the repeated incidents, not his relationship to his brother Stephen.
"I am being targeted because of the colour of my skin, I don't think it's because I am Stephen's brother," he told The Daily Mail.
Stop and search
The police are given a wide range of powers to stop individuals in a public place and to ask them questions or conduct a search of their person. The police have a general power to stop anybody and ask what they are doing, why they are in a given place or whether they are carrying anything illegal. This power is called 'stop and account'. The police must record your ethnicity whenever they use this power.
If police officers have 'reasonable suspicion' that you may be carrying stolen goods, a weapon or drugs in public then they may legally stop and search you. This power is found in section one of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. When exercising this power police must provide information including their warrant card, their powers, your rights, their name and station and the reason for the search.
Police can also use section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 to conduct stop and search on anyone regardless of reasonable suspicion, provided they are in a specified area at a given time. This power was originally created to tackle football hooliganism but is now commonly used in certain areas for general patrols.
Recent statistics have shown that in certain areas ethnic minorities may be up to 30 times more likely to be stopped than Caucasians.
Institutional racism
Following the murder of Stephen Lawrence, the Met was accused in a leading report into their handling of the case of 'institutional racism'. The accusation led to root and branch reforms of the Met and the way it treats ethnic minorities.
The complaint of Stuart Lawrence drives a stake through the heart of claims that the Met has been reformed.
Imran Kahn is Mr Lawrence's solicitor.
"This complaint is the culmination of a course of conduct over many years which amounted to harassment and discrimination based upon his skin colour, his ethnic origin," he told The Daily Mail.
"We are delighted that [Scotland Yard is] pursuing it so quickly," he added.

Study: The Length Of A Woman's Ring Finger Can Predict How Successful She Will Become
The best quantifier of a woman's success may not be her IQ, good looks or anything else you would expect. In fact, the secret may reside in a very important digit: her ring finger.
A study has shown that a woman's ring finger can predict her career preferences, entrepreneurial skills and other traits that are essential to success.
The research, which was carried out by economists Aldo Rustichini and Luigi Guiso, consisted of interviews of over two thousand Italian men and women who are small-business owners and founders.
Halfway through the interview, the subjects were asked by the entrepreneurs to have their hand photographed.
Those with longer ring fingers than index fingers were found to be more assertive and willing to take the risks necessary to succeed in business.
Longer ring fingers also were found to correlate with success in competitive sports, as well.
In general, the most successful entrepreneurs had ring fingers 10 to 20 per cent longer than their index finger.
Are you finished looking at your hands yet? Good. Don't possess a longer ring finger? Don't let this study hinder your dreams; use it as motivation to disprove it.

Chuck Landon: Marshall still has problems to solve for its new coach
Changing coaches isn't going to cure what ails the Marshall men's basketball program.
Other changes are more vital.
A change in culture.
A change in resources.
A change in status.
Until Marshall quits treating basketball like a step-child, officials could hire the second-coming of John Wooden as head coach and still not attain the level of success everyone desires.
That's why forcing Tom Herrion to resign on Friday won't solve the Herd's overall lack of success. It's merely the latest Band-Aid in a long list of bandages.
Add Herrion's name to a roll-call including Donnie Jones, Ron Jirsa, Greg White, Billy Donovan, Dwight Freeman and Dana Altman.
Those are Marshall's last seven head basketball coaches. The one thing they have in common is none of them coached Marshall to the Holy Grail of collegiate basketball - the NCAA Tournament.
Because Marshall's officials don't treat basketball like the marquee sport they expect it to be.
Yet, the expectations remain.
"I'm not interested in the NIT," said Marshall athletic director Mike Hamrick during a press conference Friday. "I'm interested in winning the conference and going to the NCAA Tournament."
That means being willing to make a real commitment to men's basketball.
Such as:
Chartering flights.
Marshall did not fly charter a single time in Herrion's four seasons. Not once. But other Conference USA schools charter on a regular basis.
Tulsa, for example, chartered from Tulsa to Charlotte for a Thursday night contest. Immediately after the game, Tulsa got back on the charter and was in a Huntington hotel by bed-time. Then, after a Saturday afternoon win over Marshall, they got back on the charter and returned to Tulsa.
Tulsa's team was home after that game before Herrion was.
That's how a marquee program travels.
But Marshall?
When the Herd lost in the 2012 C-USA Tournament championship game in Memphis, it bused back to Huntington. Then, when MU received an NIT bid to play Middle Tennessee near Nashville a few days later, the team bused there, too.
Is it any wonder the disgruntled Herd lost?
Yet, when Marshall's football team played at Middle Tennessee last season, did it bus? No. It flew charter.
Gullickson Hall.
Several times a season, Marshall has to practice in that antiquated gym because the women's team or volleyball has the Henderson Center court. It's an embarrassment for a Division I basketball program to have to practice in a gym where I played intramurals in 1969. It's probably the same rims.
Support staff.
The sports information department has two full-time employees. The assistant handles men's basketball. But when Steve Schoon took a job at South Florida a few weeks before this season began, MU didn't replace him. Instead, MU saved a few bucks by giving the duties to a graduate assistant.
That's cheap.
It sends all the wrong messages about priorities.
Luxury boxes.
Instead of complaining about "The Cam," why doesn't MU enhance the building by adding luxury boxes on the concourse levels and getting rid of about 2,000 seats?
Either address these issues or temper expectations. That's the choice. But too often Marshall prefers to make the coach a scapegoat.
There's a reason Marshall hasn't reached the NCAAs in 27 years. It's because MU hasn't made a real commitment to a head coach since Rick Huckabay.
Isn't it about time?

The subject of this case study is the Vermont Agricultural Resilience in a Changing Climate initiative, a transdisciplinary research team at UVM that has maintained success in meeting research and outreach objectives despite collaborating in a way that does not follow any particular ideal-type transdisciplinary process. In following recent science and technology (STS) studies' accounts of cross-disciplinary collaboration, the hypothesis pursued is that the transdisciplinary study of messy or "wicked" problems like climate change brings forth an array of responses from researchers whose disciplinary backgrounds already position them to pursue their research differently, particularly when they involve outside stakeholders in a participatory action research agenda. When not addressed explicitly through the transdisciplinary research framework, these differences are likely to result in more subterranean or affective responses, such as ambivalence and equivocation, which may permeate the collaborative group process. Through a qualitative ethnographic approach, I show that transdisciplinary work is complex and situational, due to the topic itself in agricultural resilience and climate change, the affective nature of the collaborative process, the differences in disciplinary perspectives, the researchers' subjectivities, and the influence of outside actors in the initiative. I argue that transdisciplinary work must necessarily be challenging given the variety of heterogeneous forces at play, and that deeper attention to the situation elucidates underlying dynamics that are not addressed in the normal research process. This research contributes insights into the literature on transdisciplinary research on messy problems.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.--- New Mexico senior Jade Michaelsen and junior Kelly Williamson were named to the CoSIDA/ESPN Academic All-District Volleyball Teams on Thursday, Nov. 4. Three Academic All-District teams are chosen in each district, with those on the All-District first teams placed on the national ballot for Academic All-American consideration.
Williamson was named to the First Team in district VI of the University Division. She joins players from Southern Methodist, Oklahoma, Rice, Southern Mississippi, Mississippi State, and Stephen F. Austin.
Williamson came to New Mexico from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and is currently studying Conservation Biology. She is a two-time MWC All-Academic and Scholar Athlete recipient. Williamson's 228 kills and 2.39 kills-per-set rank her third in the Mountain West Conference. She also holds a seat as a senator in the Associated Students of the University of New Mexico student government, and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. In addition, Williamson is a finalist for the UNM President's Award for reducing the team's carbon footprint. She was nominated for the CoSIDA/ESPN All-Academic Award last year as well.

It's not often you read in a glossy annual report about the "impact on our industry in terms of lost integrity and damaged reputation" caused by the unscrupulous, devil-may-care activities of the "Big Six" U.S. bank holding companies, such as J.P. Morgan J.P. Morgan Chase Chase, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup Citigroup, Bank of America Bank of America, Morgan Stanley Morgan Stanley and Wells Fargo. These banks have paid $82 billion in fines, sanctions and legal actions in 7 different countries over the past 10 years.
My gut reaction was that $8 billion a year by 6 giant banks in 7 different nations was small change for banks that can make as much as $25 billion in a good year and pay their CEO a special bonus of $20 million for steering it through the shoals of the prosecutors. I was waiting for Robert Wilmers, Chairman of the $1 billion bank, M&T in Buffalo, to call for a multiplication table to use against the Big Six, who did $42.6 billion in trading revenue the first 9 months of 2013 despite the watered down Volcker Rule trying to limit rampant speculation in the markets.
Though Wilmers is no bomb-throwing radical and a member in good standing of the financial establishment–he cut his teeth at J.P. Morgan–I don't think Jamie Dimon is going to care a fig about the questionable activities portrayed 526 times by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times over 2013′s first 9 months. That's 88 mentions a bank over 9 months or less than 10 pillories in words that most citizens of the U.S. don't absorb anyway. You won't find Wilmers hinting his stock is cheap like one of his largest investors, Warren Buffett'sBerkshire Hathaway, which owns 7% of MTB.
Wilmers has been sticking it to the "Big Six" for years now for their lack of capacity in ethical and moral behavior. Where he draws blood this year is in regaling us about their invasion of the commodities and natural resource industries, where they own (JP Morgan is selling) 100 oil tankers, 81 power plants, 61 transport terminals and 14% of the nation's natural gas pipelines in addition to 186 warehouses that store up metals like aluminum and dole them out to the market in a profit maximizing game of wits.
How to explain Wall Street's role in the quadrupling of rubber prices during a recession, or the way rubber trading amounted to 156 times annual industrial production, or even more telling, the way shortage of food stuffs stuff the pockets of the bankers with green bills, not green veggies.
Now, Mr. Wilmers (a friend for many decades) has been conservatively running a major and growing retail banking operation that sticks to its lasts in the Atlantic states down to the Baltimore-Washington area, and he has gotten very wealthy steadily growing his enterprise by timely acquisitions that extend the bank's franchise to neighboring territories. As he spends 3 days a week in Buffalo you are probably not going to run into him preening at the Four Seasons or driving around in a stretch limo. Now 79, Wilmers in fact used to ride his bike to work from his East Side apartment.
Not unexpectedly, the M&T banker connects the wildly excessive CEO compensation to the unethical reputation of the financial system. He's a one man reform committee, who is nimble enough NOT to mention the names of the notorious Big Six as unfortunately he has to do business with them every day. It's an inescapable fact of life.
Still, let him preach from the bully pulpit of his letter to shareholders. It's refreshing to see him on his white horse declaring that "we ignore the palpable public outrage over executive compensation and its role in worsening income inequality– the divide between rich and poor– at our peril."
The M&T boss almost indicts his bigger brethren for "exploiting visibility into customer orders, taking advantage of market imperfections, obscuring otherwise transparent market prices and controlling parts of the commerce supply chain." At bottom Wilmers is scathing at the amorality that abounds. His economics course notes the irony that the bankers in commodities "benefit from longer delivery delays, higher prices, volatility and shortages." Until he explained that these "speculative trading activities are at odds with commerce," I almost was going to take a lesson in commodities markets.

MTV Hive's Live in NYC series doubles up this week, with full sets streaming live from Rinse FM house diva Katy B tonight at 9:30PM EDT and from Irish indie-pop rockers (and You Oughta Know alums) Two Door Cinema Club tomorrow at 9:00PM EDT. We've told you all about Two Door Cinema Club; as for Katy B, she's an up-and-coming UK vocalist who's been working with some of London's best house producers; (hear "Katy On A Mission" below).
After launching the series with Marina and the Diamonds on June 30 they invited us to last month's excellent Horrors show, and we suspect that tonight's and tomorrow's shows will be just as good. (MTVHive sure loves bands from the British Isles, though, don't they!) If you can tune in, we recommend it. If not, MTVHive should share both sets afterwards—though likely only for a limited time.

Tornadoes Move Bit by Bit Fundraiser Online
When tornadoes raked across Oklahoma earlier this month, the violent weather forced the Bit by Bit Therapeutic Horseback Riding program to cut short its biggest fundraiser of the year.
As a result, organizers were unable to sell all of the items they had hoped to during the event's live auction.
"We really depend on that fundraiser to help us carry out our mission -- using horseback riding to improve the lives of people with disabilities -- but we just couldn't risk it because of the weather," said Linda Barron, Bit by Bit's director.
Undeterred by the setback, Bit by Bit has launched Bad Weather Boots, an online auction. The organization is hosting Bad Weather Boots on its Facebook page, www.facebook.com/RSUBitbyBit. The auction, which is already open for bidding, ends June 27 at 7 p.m.
Items on the auction block include:
Originally housed on Rogers State University's Claremore campus, and still affiliated with the university, Bit by Bit uses equine therapy to improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities.
For more information, call 918-371-1750.
