Shimansky offers a gem of an experience in Cape Town
Rob PetersThe song goes that diamonds are a girl's best friend. No argument there, because I've never met a girl who doesn't like something with a nice sheen to it. But then they work pretty well for guys too, particularly when they're trying to impress said girls by introducing them to their new BFF.
Radisson Blu Stands Tall on Cape Town's water's edge
Bianca ColemanFor a city with such a magnificent coastline, there are surprisingly few five star hotels on the water's edge, and even less that combine this with such convenient proximity to so many of Cape Town's top tourist attractions. The Radisson Blu Waterfront is one that stands out amongst the crowd.

iOS/Mobile Development Among The Most Sought After IT Skills
Dice's monthly report of the IT job market continues to show that developers remain the most in-demand jobs. Fully half of the top ten jobs listed are for various kinds of developers with mobile app development ranking as the second most in-demand skill.
That's not too surprising all things considered. As we noted this morning, a recent Symantec study notes that 59% of companies are actively working to create mobile versions of their internal line of business. That doesn't even take into account customer-facing apps, which are more and more seen as a requirement.
Other in-demand development skills include Java, Microsoft .NET, web, and the rather generic software developer. Java stole the number one slot. With one exception, development skills make up the top five skill sets. The one non-developer position was related to data and network security.
Why Apple Stores Don't (And Shouldn't) Pay Commissions
Over the weekend, The NY Times posted another investigative piece in its iEconomy series that about Apple. This installment focused on Apple's retail stores. As with previous articles in the series, this one focuses on legitimate concerns about the American economy in an age of globalization. Like the other pieces, this one targets Apple specifically and ignores the range of Apple competitors that employ similar practices.
The primary issue that the Times brings up with regard to Apple retail stores is that employees can sell thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of Apple products and still earn a relatively modest wage. The underlying sentiment is that if a retail employee sells so much hardware, he should earn more because he is contributing to Apple's vast revenues.
The only way for things to shake out that way and remain fair would be if Apple offered performance-based awards or commissions. Apple chose not to do that because doing so would have delivered a fundamentally different customer experience than the one envisioned by Steve Jobs – a fact that the NY Times chose not to explore in any real depth.
Inside the App-Economy Making Big Money Is Far From a Sure Thing
On average, iOS is the most expensive mobile platform for developers. It's the second most profitable mobile platform overall behind RIM's BlackBerry. One in three mobile developers can't earn enough money to living from the apps that they produce.
Those are some of the details contained in a new report from mobile analyst and strategy company VisionMobile. The report delves into the heart of the so-called app economy and provides a range of information and statistics about app development, its costs, and the income potential that comes from being an iOS, Android, BlackBerry, or Windows Phone developer. If you're considering a career as a mobile developer, this is must-read report. For the rest of us, it's a fascinating sneak peek into the experience of app developers around the world.
CompTIA Tries Its Hand At IT Apprenticeships
Earlier this year, we profiled the Mac IT apprenticeship program offered by London-based consulting and training group Amsys. IT apprenticeships offer technology training based around various common IT certifications and real-world IT experience. Apprentices are paid for their time and typically receive career placement services at the end of the apprenticeship.
Applying the apprenticeship model to the IT industry is relatively common in Europe, but rare in America. A new pilot program designed by IT training and certification powerhouse CompTIA aims to change that and bring the IT apprenticeship concept to the U.S. in a big way.

Very good experience to try a local dish similar to a soup that has shrimp and local herbs that make your tongue numb.
Located at a plaza where you can enjoy the view of the opera House.
Very friendly staff and just delicious soup. The broth is really tasty, a tangy sweet and sour soup with manioc starch (this might look a bit strange but just stir it until it dissolves to thicken the soup), small shrimp and a local herb that makes your lips and tongue tingle and feel a bit numb for a minute or...
This is the very first time I try Tacaca and I loved it! The flavor is really good! It's spicy and jambu gives a strange feeling to your tongue.
It's worth trying this unique local/regional dish from Manaus and Tacaca da Gisela is one of the best in town!
This little stand situated on the square in front of the opera house serves only one dish: Tacacá. This is basically a broth based on a soured manioc broth (called Tucupi), some jambu leaves which slightly numb the tip of your tongue and dried shrimp. Now the broth (which reminded me slightly of Sauerkraut-juice) was OK but we had had...
Oh my goodness. this was amazing I went two nights on the trot! Such an unusual taste of sweet and sour with a big dollop of manioc starch, which is a gluey egg white, ladeled in and stirred about with a pokey stick as you fish for prawns. Add the tiacuipy sauce for extra amazonian kick
I had read about Tacaca, the soup from the Amazon that uses a plant/veggie which numbs your mouth and decided to try it out since it was our first time there. Situated in the main square where the Theatre is and served from a booth made it easy to find and get to.
The soup is simply amazing, very flavourful,...
Take it from a local: this place waters down the tucupi, and constantly gives small portion sizes in the tacaca, which as of Jan/2013 costs $13 reais for a "large" tacaca. This place has a nice atmosphere, but the tacaca is lacking, and you are paying extra for the location next to Teatro Amazonas. Try "Point do Tacaca" a street...
We decided to try this regional soup joint (Tacaca is the name of the soup) after a visit to the Municipal Theatre and found it very tasty, they add a herb in the end which makes your tongue tickle, even my daughter tried it! it tastes a bit like a bitter kale, the manioc broth and the dried shrimp were...
It has good and excilent survise,the waiters are attentable to clients.
Most of the people agree with this place,and very clean.I reccommend this to all visitors.
if you love exotic street foods or watch Anthony Bourdain. This you tube video of Bourdain explains it all. Food stall was clean, and showed plaques of winning the best tacaca for years in running. It is located right in the center square, on the side of the African house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cCeK65ikR7A

I chose misc eatdrinksleep partially based on the reviews. I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. I'm a travel writer and review hotels, destinations and restaurants for articles. Although this little gem wasn't scheduled to be part of my Amsterdam coverage, I'm adding it as a lodging option. Absolutely lovely rooms, delicious breakfast, gracious hosts and perfect location! I highly recommend this for anyone looking for smaller inn. Wonderful!

Alibaba's Pipe Emporium, 4884 Sunset Boulevard: Fall 2014 5 comments
I'm not exactly sure when head shop Alibaba's Pipe Emporium on Sunset closed. Commenter Brian noted the storefront as empty in December 2014. When I took the first pictures on 17 August 2014, the Sunset location already seemed to be closed during what would be normal hours though the store looked fully stocked. At that time, a sign directed customers to the Irmo store on Woodrow Street. I know they has some legal trouble in May 2014 though I am unsure if that was what finally caused the closing or not.
(Hat tip to commenter Brian)
Maudy's Bosom (& Mosob), 709 Santee Avenue: 1974 14 comments
Here's a place I never heard of before starting this blog, but it's come up several times in the comments over the years. Here's what I know from the library and internet:
The 1969 city directory lists 709 Santee Avenue as having two units, 709-A & 709-B, both of which were at the time vacant. The 1970 Southern Bell phonebook has the yellow pages ad for Maudy's Bosom shown above, and they were also in the white pages. That seems to be the last phonebook with a listing, either yellow or white for the shop. They continued to be listed in the city directory in 1971 and 1972 (as 709 without any 'A' or 'B'). In the 1973 city directory, the listing for 709 Santee Avenue changes from Maudy's Bosom to Bosom Walk In Center. This listing repeats in 1974, but that is the last mention of the place.
There is currently no building numbered 709 Santee Avenue. This PDF of city council minutes from 2007 and the Kenny's brou-ha-ha indicates that 701 & 709 Santee were the Santee part of the Kenny's lot. I'm not sure how this location jibes with Michael's comment below..
And now, crowdsourcing -- this is what y'all have said:
Though I never heard Dale say it, I always thought he chose the name of the shop [The Joyful Alternative -- Ted] to be in contrast with other stores like Maudy's Bosom, The Purple Turtle and AW Fully's. Instead of loud, blaring acid rock they played loud, blaring Grateful Dead. Patchouli is unique.
Thanks for mentioning the other shops, one of which I think pre-date Joyful. Maudy's Bosom was the first "head-shop" that I actually remember hearing about in Columbia in the late-'60s, but because I never went there I didn't write about it. I do know it was in a two story turn-of–the-century house on Santee Avenue behind where Harper's is now.

Jim – what a difference 35 years makes. When Marty's Bosom opened the city fathers and the local media freaked out, and decided you could not have a Columbia business with the word bosom in the name. To keep from getting closed down, and so that he could buy ads, he spelled it backward and it became Marty's Mosob. Now there's a Hooter's in every neighborhood.

Now there's a Hooter's in every neighborhood.
I just looked at the Dec 6, 2009 post about Maudy's Bosom. My old recollection was from when it was just called The Bosom and was a drug counseling center. My older sister told me that it had previously been a head shop called what I misheard as "Marty's," but my sister tells me that she thinks Maudy's is correct. But she was a stoner back then, so . . . .
Maudy's Bosom is correct. Awesome store to visit for "hippie" threads and for incense!!
BTW, does anyone know what "Pieces Of" Fashion Botique and "Conspiracy Records" mean/meant?

Judy went above and beyond for our wedding. I had changed my mind on our flowers a month before our wedding. Judy was flexible and made sure I had the flowers I wanted. Everything was absolutely stunning and I haven't stopped receiving compliments on my flowers. I honestly could... Read More not have been more pleased with how our flowers looked. A few of my friends are getting married in the fall and all of them asked me for my florist!
Beautiful flowersReviewed on 8/20/2015 Isabelle C
Judy did an amazing job on our flowers, and she was great to work with. After our first samples, we had some feedback and changes that we wanted made, and she very quickly put together new samples which we absolutely loved. I had so many people tell me that they had never seen... Read More such big, beautiful roses as we had in our bouquets - they were breathtaking. The flowers were very reasonably priced, too. I had many friends pay almost double for their wedding flowers, and none of them were as beautiful as Judy's!
Spring WeddingReviewed on 6/28/2015 Kelly R
After one of the worst winters in New England, we are nervous that there might be snow on the ground for our Memorial Day Weekend wedding! Instead we had the most perfect weather and our spring wedding was highlighted by the gorgeous bouquets and centerpieces from Judy's... Read More Flowers. Every bride has different parts of the wedding that are important to her and flowers were NOT one of those things... Until I met Judy! She transformed my vision for the day! Her gorgeous creations added value to every area of our wedding... The venue, the cake, and the photographers photos! Judy was so easy to work with and she helped me discover what I was looking for. Judys Flowers was part of both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding, and she created some of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen.
Beautiful!Reviewed on 9/26/2015 Shoshanna
Judy was one of my absolute favorite vendors to work with. She had great recommendations and suggestions all while listening to what my husband and I wanted and keeping our budget in mind. My husband and I met with Judy a few months before the wedding and she made us samples... Read More of what the centerpieces, bouquets and boutonnieres would be and they were all so beautiful, but were nothing compared to what she actually made for the wedding. We got so many compliments on the flowers and they were so much more beautiful than we could have imagined. Judy also made our Chuppah which was truly a work of art. I couldn't recommend Judy more.
Beautiful!Reviewed on 9/17/2015 Nieri V
Judy's Village Flowers was part of my package at Raffael's. Judy did an amazing job and even though I upgraded from what the package flowers were, she gave me options to keep the upgrade cost as low as possible!
After hearing many great things about Judy's Flowers, the groom and I were enormously disappointed in both the service and the product we received from this shop. On our initial consultation, we presented Judy with a number of photos that represented our minimalist style. Rather... Read More than accommodating our wishes, Judy repeated the phrase "this is my reputation in your hands" a number of times, and tried to sell us on more elaborate and ornate designs. This experience was very annoying; however, we managed to agree on a simple arrangement of football mums for the ladies, spray roses for the men, an a white and pink carnation and dahlia arenagemt my for my bouquet. During this meeting, I explained that I did not want any roses in my bouquets or the girls', a request that was recorded on the work order I approved when the deposit was made. Three months later, I returned for a mock up of my bouquet, and IT WAS ALL ROSES. Judy seemed flustered when I pointed out her mistake, and had her designers put together another bouquet while I waited. The result was a purple and white bouquet. I told her absolutely no purple, reminded her of the pink and white request we originally discussed and left feeling disheartened. My subsequent requests for a redo on the mockup were ignored, and the day before the wedding the designer at the shop texted me a picture of my bouquet. It was white, yellow and purple. Thankfully, after a phone call and a few more texts, I ended up with an entirely white carnation, dahlia and football mum bouquet. While this bouquet was not what I wanted, it was better than the two previous attempts made by Judy and her designers. A very disappointing experience, indeed. The good: the delivery arrived at the venue on time and the shop provided vases for the bouquets to sit in during the reception.
Leah, I'm so sorry we did not meet your expectations. It is never our intention to disappoint a bride and we are very sorry we let you down. Regarding the many samples we made for you, it often takes two or three attempts to find... Read Less Read More
Judy was so easy to work with! I planned my wedding from almost 3000 miles away and Judy just had me e-mail her pictures of what I wanted and when I was able to meet with her, 2 months before the wedding, she had re-created my vision! She was very flexible and helped me make... Read More sure that all of my bridesmaids bouquets were incorporated into the one that I carried and was able to make slight changes that made my maid of honor stand out. I had a lot of kids in my wedding and she was able to give them the cutest little boutonnieres and flower baskets. Judy was fantastic with helping to set up and make sure everything was perfect for my wedding! I highly recommend her for all your flower needs!
AMAZING FLOWERSReviewed on 5/20/2015 Kristen T
I have been to so many weddings and Judy's flowers always stood out to me - so when it was time to plan my own wedding I knew immediately who my florist would be! Judy's attention to detail and customer service are both superb. My guests are still raving about how gorgeous my... Read More centerpieces were. All of the flowers at my wedding were even better than I had envisioned and explained. They were absolutely stunning arrangements. Judy is also great about helping you stick to your budget and helping to give you beautiful flowers no matter what you are willing to/able to spend. I'd highly recommend her to anybody!
Judys Village Flowers are Amazing!Reviewed on 4/02/2015 krista s
I visited Judys Village Flowers in August 2013 after she was listed on my venue, The Villa's, preferred vendor list. I had already chose out my bouquet and bridal party's bouquet off her website under the wedding section...they complimented each other very well. My mother and I... Read More chose the centerpiece in one of her many books she has during our meeting in August. I went back to her in January 2015, when she made full size centerpiece, bride bouquet, and Maid of Honor bouquet for me to approve of. I was very pleased with them and this just reassured me even more that I had made the right choice. When the wedding day came, Judy just blew me away. She dropped off my flowers and bridal party bouquets to the Holiday Inn in Rockland where I was doing some early pictures. She even spent extra time wrapping and pinning my late grandmother's engagement ring around my bouquet to ensure it was secure. Then she met us at The Villa where she pinned on all the gentlemen's boutonnieres, passed out/pinned the mothers/grandmother's flowers, and dropped off the centerpieces. She also left extra boutonnieres for the bridal party and groom in case they got crushed during receiving line, hugs, etc. I was so pleased with Judy's Village Flowers...they were worth every penny. She also worked with my husband, who surprised me and ordered a dozen white roses (my favorite) to be left in my bridal suite.I would recommend her to everyone...she was absolutely amazing and her flowers are breathtaking. Her service and overall product is SIX STARS, not five!
Gorgeous work, great shopReviewed on 1/24/2015 Christina T
Judy is fantastic! She is so talented and can absolutely pick up on your vision immediately an execute. We chose her from the preferred vendors list at our wedding and are so glad we did. From the first meeting, she made it easy to understand where we could save money, and... Read More how to best get what we were looking for within our budget. We have a huge bridal party and she did an amazing job tailoring the design to the maid of honor, junior bridesmaids, and flower girl. We also had a mock-up appointment and were stunned to see what she had come up with! It was more than we asked for, with absolutely perfect flowers. On the day of, she showed up exactly on time with phenomenal bouquets. She even used bridesmaid dress fabric for all of the girls' bouquets. Everyone loved them! She made them so much more robust than we expected, and they were breath taking. Very impressed. Prices are very fair and worth every penny!
Beautiful flowers and great people!Reviewed on 11/05/2014 Caitlan J
Judy's Flowers made our wedding flowers so absolutely beautiful! We were all so happy with the outcome. Our bouquets were gorgeous, and matched what I was looking for perfectly! Everyone said how beautiful the flowers were and everyone was dying to take home the centerpieces!... Read More Judy and her team were so great to work with. They were all so attentive and timely, and worked to make sure everything was perfect. They truly took all the stress out of making our ceremony and reception look amazing! I would work with Judy again for anything in a heart beat!

All I gave Judy was one idea and she literally met every expectation and beyond! I received compliments all night on my flowers and I couldn't be happier on how they turned out!
Amazing!Reviewed on 10/02/2014 Anastasia S
Judy is absolutely amazing! Flowers were a huge part of our wedding. From bouquets and boutonnieres to church baskets to reception center pieces, Judy's did it all! We wanted high and low floral centerpieces for our reception and Judy made this happen. The first time we met with... Read More her, we discussed what we wanted, the design and colors. The next time we went to see her, she had created sample bouquets and tall center pieces that were stunning. We knew right away that she was our floral vendor. She puts 110% into everything she does!
Gorgeous!!Reviewed on 10/01/2014 Sara T
Judy's did such an amazing job with every bouquet, boutonniere, centerpiece and floral arrangement we had! They were also very accommodating when it came to changes. Whether by email or phone, someone was always responding back to me and everything looked absolutely gorgeous!! I... Read More couldn't have been happier!
Judy knows her stuff!Reviewed on 9/21/2014 Megan G
Judy is amazing, and her flower shop is a perfectly run machine! Judy did all of the hightop centerpieces for my wedding and they were even more beautiful than I could have imagined. She did all of my bouquets as well. She was able to tell me what would be in season in... Read More August, as to keep the price as reasonable as possible. She also made a mock up of the centerpiece and each bouquet as to ensure it was EXACTLY what I wanted. Phenomenal talent and top notch service.
Great ValueReviewed on 7/19/2014 Malisa I
Beautiful flowers at a great price. Judy knows what she is doing and can offer a great variety of flowers, however, on occasion she could have better customer service skills. We would definitely recommend her though!
FlowersReviewed on 7/10/2014 Shayna M
Our flowers were beautiful! Judy did an amazing job! Recommend.
Beautiful BouquetsReviewed on 7/09/2014 Rachel F
Judy had her hands full when trying to come up with ideas for me. I was married at the Aquarium, which was awesome, but with that came an extensive list of flower restrictions. Judy was patient as we came up with flowers we could actually use (especially when we saw the Peonies... Read More I had always dreamed of using were not allowed) and amazing with her recommendations. The bouquets came out completely gorgeous, I could not have asked for anything better! She is also great with detail and making sure everything else looks right; the day before the wedding she called to let me know that she just didn't like the bunch of flowers she had gotten in for one of the centerpieces but already had a back-up flower and just wanted to let me know. She was extremely reasonable with her pricing and great to work with. I would highly recommend her!
Lacked creativity, detail and quality of flowersReviewed on 4/10/2014 Susan H
I was very disappointed. I had wanted pansies for my centerpieces. She got me pansies but she delivered them in the green pots they came in. The tables looked tacky. If I had known this I would have done it myself or I would have got cute little pots myself. The boutineers... Read More were yellow roses- they were bruised and browning before the ceremony and the mothe bouquets were the same- very disappointed
Judy is great!Reviewed on 12/15/2013 Jessi W
Judy is very helpful, will try to save you money, and makes your wedding day fantastic! The flowers are so fresh and beautiful. She is so creative and can create pretty much anything you desire! She is so great!
I love Judy!Reviewed on 12/12/2013 Michelle C
Our family has used Judy for years for holiday flowers, birthdays and funerals so my mother insisted she do my wedding flowers. I'm so glad - she is FABULOUS. She is personable and easy to work with, she has great ideas and is sensitive to cost. She made great suggestions to... Read More reduce our cost without impacting the quality. Hands down, I would recommend Judy's to anyone!
AwesomeReviewed on 11/12/2013 Meghan R
Judy is the best! She was great in the appointments before, made great sample bouquets, and showed up to the venue to deliver the flowers personally! She is a hard worker and is a great value for the fabulous work and quality of the flowers! Highly recommend!

So, I browse eBay for some secondhand camera deals. Before that, I have only used point and shoot film camera, like Holga, Sprocket Rocket, or La Sardina. Also, I did not really understand the method of manual photography. However, I really really want to learn. And what better way to learn the basic by going to basic a.k.a. analog photography. I won a Pentax P30, a manual SLR camera from 1980, for quite a low price and was so excited to start my adventure with my new lover.
The thing that bugs me the most was the lens. From the auction, I got a 28-70mm zoom lens and it is super heavy, making it hard for me to bring the camera around. I wanted to buy a prime lens but for the good quality lenses, the price was not cheap. I decided to wait, since I would feel really bad if I use my parents' money to buy things that is not related to education or basic living.
Last summer, I got my first job and decided to splurge my first wage for a SMC Pentax M 1:2 50mm lens! Just in time since the zoom lens apparently has some fungus on it. Since then, I've started using my Pentax P30 (which I sometimes refer to as Penty-Pee-Titty, don't ask why) as much as I can do and learning more.
Anyway, here are some of my favourite pictures from Pentax P30 test roll:
The 28-70mm zoom lens...
*some statue around Canberra Repertory Theatre 3, Acton*
*ANU School of Art, the (only) good looking building on campus*
*wall mural, ANU. I love how the sun expose the eyes and the top half of the face, bringing out the emotion of the piece*
*Testing macro mode*
SMC Pentax M 1:2 50mm lens...
*My favourite part of my room where I put up pictures from high school all taken with film camera. The lens is very good in low light and the bokeh is pretty lovely too*
*Testing it out the lens for the first time*
Those are some of my favourite pictures from the test roll. I'm really impressed with the prime lens quality and definitely do not regret the slightly pricy purchase. Share your film or analog photography story, or let me know what you think in the comments below!

text: I've been using Stage 1.3.2 to do robot tracking with fiducial markers. We have a setup with four Pioneers, each with a retro-reflective barcode on the back of the SICK LMS 200. It works well in practice, but not so well in simulation. In stage, fiducial markers are always cylindrical, even if placed on a "box". I tried to get around this problem of having 360 degree barcodes by making a very small box and placing it right behind the SICK LMS 200 (in simulation). But this has problems because sometimes when the robot is oriented a certain way, the fiducial box becomes invisible! It should be visible from that pose. Does anyone know a work around for this problem, or does stage need to be extended to fix this? Regards, Nathan Farrington __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

As I understand I would need to portforward from the router, by specifying that my chosen port goes to my internal IP address. However, I don't think I can access port forwarding on the router. I assume most ISPs don't allow users to play around with this. I've been seeing some tips using dynamic DNS (like no-ip.org or dyn.com) but it seems that I would still need to do port forwarding.

I've been wearing an Arcteryx button up shift on most of my rides for the last year or so. I originally got it for mountaineering, but figured it would be good for biking, too. It's comfortable, lightweight, and feels good wet or dry. And I just ripped it during a nasty fall.
I want to patch it up, but I want to do it well, so the patches won't fray or be weaker than the rest of the shirt. Do you guys have any recommendations?
I was thinking of using some nylon or Kevlar thread, but I'm not sure. Will it make a difference?

Multimedia applications with OpenML
Programming multimedia applications in Linux used to be a tedious process, demanding specialized libraries and even custom code for addressing hardware directly. The OpenML library offers a simpler approach.
Shortly after the millennium, a number of major league multimedia corporations joined forces to found the Khronos Group. 3Dlabs, ATI, Discreet, Intel, Nvidia, SGI, and Sun Microsystems all wanted to create a cross-platform multimedia library using the lean and successful OpenGL as a role model. Thanks to this standardized interface, programmers would be able to concentrate on their work rather than wasting time thinking about hardware and how to control it. Just a year later, specification 1.0 of the Open Media Library (or OpenML– not related or even good friends with OpenMP, a library for shared memory parallelism, or OpenAL, a library for sound output) was released. The whole enchilada was done – the interfaces, the internal functions – and the Khronos Group (see the "Khronos Group" box) stood back, celebrated, promised support at all kinds of conferences, and waited for something to happen. Developers all over the world now knew what the interface looked like, but there were no signs of a tangible implementation of the library, not to mention matching drivers or hardware.

The Neighbourhood
The Neighbourhood – R.I.P. 2 My Youth
It was merely two years ago when The Neighbourhood reeled music fans in with their hit single "Sweater Weather". The edgy, unique vibe that came from these California boys had them gaining fans left and right. Since that moment, they've toured around the world and have collaborated with other great artists like Raury (see their mixtape # 000000 & # FFFFFF). Now, they're here to bring their newest single "R.I.P. 2 My Youth". It's got the NBHD sound fans have grown to love over the years, with a mix of gloomy pop and a sprinkle of indie combined with some hip hop influence. It doesn't stray too far from what fans know, but it also has a glimmer of something new. Take a listen to the track below and keep your eyes peeled for their new album WIPED OUT!, out this October.

The Neighbourhood – Warm feat. Raury
For a moment this collaboration seemed like a dream, but it is in reality. Our favorite dark pop band The Neighbourhood have teamed up with everyone's favorite new artist Raury and it's a winner. The track oozes a beautiful darkness and is a cry for love. It starts as a track that is a familiar NBHD sound but suddenly there's an intensity that builds up through the track. Raury puts his touch on it which makes this track that much more special. Listen to the pure music masterpiece below.

[MP3 Premiere] The Hard Knocks – Hosana
When we were introduced to The Hard Knocks this spring, we instantly compared them to modern indie favorites like The Neighbourhood and The 1975. But that was before "Hosana." This track is a two-and-a-half minute bulldozer over every preconception we had about LA band. It expands our previous comparisons to legends like Michael Jackson and Queen. On the recording lead singer Shane Hunter sounds like he's singing for his life, sparking this ball of retro energy that is a perfect reminder of what our generation is missing. We'll keep you posted on the band's upcoming ME+ EP.

JMSN – Fool
Hot off the presses! To celebrate teaming up with The Neighbourhood for a nationwide tour, JMSN decided to drop this dreamy, somber track for us today. "Fool" starts you off with some soft strings and haunting vocals and eventually takes you to… well, soft strings and haunting vocals. But it's awesome. And so are you. Happy Thursday.

The Neighbourhood – $TING
I think it's obvious The Neighbourhood have made an impact on all our ears and will only continue to do so. They seem to treat us with a new track every few weeks and I'm not complaining about that one bit! Today they released a track called "$TING" which is smooth and gloomy in the best way possible. Head over to Complex to also hear a new JMSN track which will appear on the 7″ single featuring "$TING". It's available on "The Love Collection Tour" this summer.

Stream New Songs by The Neighbourhood and Lovelife
After touring extensively over the past few years, The Neighbourhood is finally going on their first national headlining tour. They are bringing a few friends with them–friends who happen to also be some of our favorite artists, including Lovelife, The 1975, and JMSN. Icing on the cake? The guys are releasing three limited split 7″ singles with their friends; these will be available at every show.
The NBHD has never been shy about their hip-hop influences. "West Coast" marks the return of lead singer Jesse Rutherford's rapping (previously known as Jesse James) and truly is a sun-kissed, summer jam. Lovelife's "Every Minute" is a silky smooth, dramatic taste of indie rock witha falsetto bit that will change your life. Thank God for bands that care.
I'm so West Coast, it's a goddamn shame

Stream The Neighbourhood's Debut Album 'I Love You'
It's almost here. On April 23rd The Neighbourhood will release their debut album I Love You via Columbia Records. You can stream it below in all of its glory, thanks to Rolling Stone. I don't know if I was anticipating an album this year more than this one, and so far, it does not disappoint. All aspects of one of our favorite bands are in full effect here; it's dark, brooding, sensual, raunchy, bleak, confident, transformative, manipulative, suave, angry, and always lovely.

Preview Two New Songs from The Neighbourhood's Debut Album
The Neighbourhood have found their niche within the industry and look to expand upon it with their debut full-length I Love You, which will be out on April 23rd via Columbia Records. I genuinely believe these guys will rightfully infiltrate the mainstream by the summertime. You can quote me on that. Below are two video snippets, featuring brand new songs, "Everybody's Watching Me (Uh Oh)" and "W.D.Y.W.F.M?," from I Love You. If for some reason you weren't already excited for the album, now you will be.

The Hard Knocks – Pocket Full of Change
I get emails from people I don't know. That's just part of my life now. Depending on how intriguing the subject line is or even how much free time I have, I'll open the mass email, and occasionally, I'll like the song held within it. When I get an email that says, "For fans of The 1975, Pacific Air, [and] The Neighbourhood," I have to stop and pay attention to it. This guy knows what he's doing, and either he will be dead off in his comparison or he's managing my new favorite band. Luckily in the case of The Hard Knocks, he's managing my new favorite band. The SoCo-based four-piece is headed in the right direction, garnering comparisons to some of my favorite buzz bands of the past few years. It's gonna be very interesting to see where this single takes them, and what's next for this group.
We'll keep you posted on The Hard Knock's debut ME EP, coming out May 7th.

The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather (Little Daylight Remix)
Little Daylight decided to make the move and remix The Neighbourhood's "Sweater Weather". Ballsy move if you ask me, but they pulled it off. The Neighbourhood has risen to be one of the biggest "buzz bands" of the year, receiving feature requests from some of the top festivals around the world. They deserve it. These guys rock. And this remix aint bad either!

The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather [Music Video]
From the start, The Neighbourhood seemed like the band that had it all figured out. They had the personality, the aesthetic, and most importantly, the music to take over the world. And trust me, they will take over the world. Already, they are signed to Columbia and are playing some of the biggest festivals on the planet. Over the past year or so, they have steadily released music accompanied by stunningly cinematic videos, but alas, I think the Cali band has outdone themselves. Introducing the perfect video, where each shot is more picturesque than the previous one. Prepare to be amazed.

To revamp its latest single, "Let It Go," The Neighbourhood elicited fellow Cali-native Ghost Loft to head-bobbing results. This remix keeps the ominous and stark vibes of the original, while adding some choice trap sounds that are oh so popular right now. Swerve, amirite?

Niittymaki Returns After Surgery
by Paul on 10/01/08 at 08:42 AM ET
Comments (0)
from Ed Moran of the Philadelphia News,
Antero Niittymaki was back in the stall he has occupied since coming up to the Flyers from the Phantoms, newly signed goalie Jean-Sebastien Aubin, moved into the temporary extra stall used only for training camps, and tryout goalie Maxime Ouellet was released.
Niittymaki, who has been sidelined since before the beginning of camp recovering from left hip surgery, was back on the ice yesterday in practice and talking about the possibility of playing next week.
That might be a long shot, but from the way the Finnish goalie is recovering, he is very likely to be on the bench for opening night on Oct. 11.

Hatcher Will 'Go Out' On His Terms
by Paul on 09/24/08 at 10:13 AM ET

from Wayne Fish at phillyBurbs,
Hatcher, who's starting the year on the injured reserve list, knows his crippled knee probably won't get better.
Heck, it got worse over the summer when he wasn't playing, and he would like to end his career on his own terms.
The reality of the situation is this: While some conspiracy theory types suggest the Flyers are pressuring Hatcher to call it quits now to save money on a badly strained salary cap number, the 36-year-old player says the decision is up to him….
"As tough as it is, you're never prepared to stop playing hockey. If this is it, I've had a great career and that's what I'll take.''

Gagne Waiting For That Hit

from Rob Parent of the Delco Times,
Simon Gagne doesn't know what evil lurks in the shadows of the preseason. When it comes to the hearts of hockey players, however, Gagne has been there, been done in by that before.
"It's going to come," Gagne the concussed elder Flyers statesman said Saturday as the team opened training camp. "I will be confident ... I'm going to look for it."
What Simon says he seeks is a hit - another big one. The type that Florida's Jay Bouwmeester laid on him in the early days of the 2007-08 season, sending Gagne down a long and arduous path toward an aborted season and a series of career questions that continue today.
As in ... can he still have a career?

A Flyers Primer

from Sam Carchidi of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
Here is a primer for the Flyers' preseason camp, which starts today at the Skate Zone in Voorhees.
B is for goalie Marty Biron. Which Biron will we see? The one who had an up-and-down regular season, or the one who was scorching hot in two of last season's three playoff series?
N is for no-star lineup. Despite reaching the NHL's final four last season, the Flyers aren't getting much national respect. The Hockey News picks them to finish fourth in the East, and it lists just two Flyers, Briere (No. 42) and Richards (No. 49), among the league's top 50 players.

Hatcher Will Start Season On Long-Term Injury

Comments (0)
from Ed Moran of the Philadelphia Daily News,
Hatcher's name will appear on the roster for the first game of the season and then immediately be moved to the long-term injury list.
The move allows the Flyers to create some breathing room by subtracting his $3.5 million salary from the overall cap total and gives Hatcher time to continue trying to rehab his degenerated right knee.

Briere Plans To Relieve The Pressure

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN,
I had a chance to catch up with Flyers center Daniel Briere over the weekend. I let him know I had joined ESPN.com, which he thought was cool.
Briere, meanwhile, talked about how different he feels going into this season, knowing fully what to expect with his team. He put so much pressure on himself last season after signing that big contract with Philadelphia. He put up 72 points in 76 regular-season games—not bad, but down from the 95 he had in Buffalo the previous season. He was tremendous in the playoffs with 16 points, including nine goals, in 17 games as the Flyers surprised many en route to the Eastern Conference finals.

Berard Hopes To Make Flyers Roster

from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,
The eye isn't much of a problem. In fact, said Bryan Berard, he barely ever thinks about it, more than eight years after the sight in his right eye was all but extinguished when he was gouged by Marian Hossa's errant stick.
"To be honest, the eye's not an issue anymore," said Berard, not long before finishing his summer workouts here in Boston and heading south with only the promise of a tryout awaiting him in Philadelphia. "It took a couple of years to get used to it, for my brain and body to adjust, but I don't even think about it now. Not an issue."
More delicate and irksome of late, though, has been Berard's back, along with other niggling injuries.

Police searching Apache Junction wash for Adrienne Salinas evidence
APACHE JUNCTION, Ariz. — Tempe police are searching a four-mile stretch of
wash in Apache Junction for evidence related to the disappearance and death of a
community college student.
Police say Monday's operation was part of a planned strategy by detectives to
do smaller, more targeted searches utilizing GPS coordinates.
A badly decomposed body found Aug. 6 by an Apache Junction property owner was
confirmed last week as that of 19-year-old Adrienne Salinas. The Gateway
Community College student had been missing since June 15.
Tempe police say they're investigating the case as a possible homicide,
although they haven't received a cause of death yet from the Pima County Medical
Examiner's Office.
Police say searchers are looking for such possible evidence as Salinas'
clothing or her cellphone.
Authorities haven't identified any possible suspects yet.

TP: Zero Sum Game by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)

Re: TP: Zero Sum Game by David Mack Review Thread (Spoilers!)
R. Star wrote:
I get what they were going for. A new opposing force to the Federation Alliance nations. Certainly all the member states have had hostile relations with the Federation or the Klingons at some point.
The real problem I have with the concept is you get a bunch of xenopholic AND isolationalist powers... and suddenly have them sharing technology, having a common currency, and in a European Union like pact that just doesn't fit the established powers of the Romulans, Breen and Tholians.
Well, as I said, the point was mainly to develop a storyline that would allow shining a spotlight on civilizations that have been underexplored in the past. It just happens that, by the nature of episodic TV storytelling with its need for antagonists-of-the-week, we've ended up getting a lot more unfriendly or prickly minor powers than friendly and open ones. I mean, look at the Khitomer Accords candidates: the Klingons, Cardassians, Ferengi, and Talarians (though the Talarians dropped out in
The Struggle Within
). All of them, without exception, have a history of hostile relations toward the Federation as well. The only real difference is that they'd reached a point of detente or friendship with the Federation by the 2380s -- but then, so had the Romulans and the Gorn.
I also didn't like the fact after spending so many novels and trouble of establishing the Imperial Romulan State, which was definitely sympathetic to the Federation at the very least as an enabler, was effectively handwaved away and fell victim to a push of the reset button. This was a fairly blatant move just to make the Romulans a credible power and threat again.
I think it's just that the change in personnel at Pocket led to a change in direction. Marco and Keith had a story direction in mind involving the Romulan schism and the IRS, but once the TP novels came along, Margaret Clark was in charge of developing them and Keith wasn't involved, and I guess Margaret and DRGIII decided they were more interested in seeing a united Romulan Star Empire -- perhaps so that the Pact would have a clear dominant member that was familiar to the audience, or perhaps in order to clear the board for the 2387 events revealed by the Abrams movie. Given the way Romulan affairs have turned out in
Plagues of Night/Raise the Dawn
, I really don't think making the Romulans a bigger "threat" had anything to do with it.
A lot of people seem to think the Typhon Pact is the hearld of a new Federation ensured on cooperation and goodwill... but at the same time they're constantly undermining each other, even as they're tying their ecnomies into each other and giving technology away to people who in effect would be potential rivals, especially if the Federation and it's allies weren't so unified.
Rather, what people (like myself) are saying is that the Pact's members were inspired by the Federation's example and have the
to develop into something similar,
the voices within the Pact that genuinely believe in mutual cooperation and support can win out over the factions that are more driven by self-interest or hostility. What makes the Pact's story interesting is that we don't yet know which faction will win. It's still in its turbulent beginnings and it's not easy for its members to make the idea work in practice.
I imagine that if you studied the formative years of the United States in the 1770s-80s, you'd find quite a lot of bickering, infighting, and backstabbing among the various states and ideological factions jockeying for advantage. The Constitution we ultimately ended up with was the end of a long process of compromise to try to balance out those conflicting interests.
You basically have all these isolationalists/xenophobic governments who overnight just entered a European Union style bloc. Nevermind that it took 40 plus years for the EU to take shape and form, and it remains to be see if this grand experiment will work. They entered this overnight, and it really doesn't fit or make sense for all the powers to tie their economies and militaries in together so closely when they're so obviously pecking orders among them still.
That's an interesting criticism, and I think that may be a factor in the internal conflicts and turbulence we're seeing within the Pact. But I don't think it means it's unbelievable that they would've attempted this in the first place. After all, they're doing this in the wake of the game-changing Borg invasion, and with an eye toward forming a counterbalance against the well-established Federation-Klingon alliance. So they felt the need to act with urgency and to try to catch up as quickly as they could. Hence their attempt to rush into it, and hence the uncertainty about whether they can make it work.
