The 10 Biggest Douchebags in Country Music
By Mike Seeley
Pinging with warm beats and splashed with giddy loops while at the same time devoted to acoustic guitar and sighing vocals, James Yuill's debut album has the iffy "folktronica" thing down pat. But that doesn't mean the London-based multihyphenate is afraid to tackle other terrain. After two songs of aching wistfulness, "No Pins Allowed" rains thick sheets of distorted synths and ups the tempo considerably. It's still sung as if Yuill were afraid of disturbing a nearby cobweb, but despite a few pregnant pauses, the music screams "dance floor." A bit of an anomaly, perhaps, though the back-to-back "The Ghost" and "No Surprise" do flirt gamely with Italian disco.
The most immediate song, the successful U.K. single "Over the Hills," manages a Postal Service-worthy balance of electronic iciness and pop-devoted romance, and there's an almost deconstructed R&B vibe to "Breathing In," with its finger snaps and sultry production. More in line with the Notwist than Beth Orton, Yuill takes an organic approach that doesn't call attention to the slippery fusion at work. The man is an ace at remixes, having collaborated with indie-pop acts Au Revoir Simone and Tilly and the Wall, as well as famed DJ/composer David Holmes.
In his native U.K., Yuill is signed to Moshi Moshi, the taste-making label that has released albums by Hot Chip, Dntel and Architecture in Helsinki. Here in the States, he's on Nettwerk, home to Datarock, Styrofoam and the Submarines. While more modestly pleasing than downright revelatory, Turning Down Water for Air has the well-crafted components to win over fans of all the above. And with such a melancholy, bedroom aesthetic, you could even file Yuill comfortably alongside Nick Drake and Red House Painters.

How-To: Dry-Clean Your Makeup Brushes
by Beauty
Like us on Facebook
I've taught you how to create your own makeup brush cleaning solvent in the past and I've even suggested a few of my favorite gentle professional brush cleansers. But after speaking with someone from pro brush-making company Hakuhodo, I learned a little something I'd like to share with you. Did you know that the best way to remove oily liquid foundation or waxy lipstick from your makeup brushes is by using dry corn starch? Here's what you'll need and what to do:
- Fill a plastic bag with corn starch (make sure it's the sugar and preservative-free kind).
- Drop the brush inside (hair down) and hold the mouth of the bag closed.
- Shake for one minute and then remove the brush. Dust off the corn starch and repeat two more times until all of the greasy residue is gone.

The Sink, and the thing that lives beneath it.
Poem by danbringhurst
Posted: Apr 2, 2013
Just having some fun. How do you summarize a poem?
I enjoy writing, I enjoy making music, and I enjoy killing time with a pencil. My writing is improving every day, but as I go back and read past works I realize that I've really sucked as a writer. Perhaps I always will, or perhaps I don't give myself enough credit.
With every person I hand my work to, I do it knowing that I won't believe a word they say. Friends and family are unreliable, I think, and its only through a site like this that I'll eventually break that barrier. Reading such novels as The Road or The Shining I'm lost in world that is all my own.
Those worlds don't exist until I pick up the book, but in the words everything comes alive. I want that. Reading my work, I never feel like I achieve the "10 paragraph explanation as to why Johns dad prefers red bellpeppers to green". But in my favorite books - in any good book, I think - its the endless descriptions that make it real.
My works fall short in that arena, but I like to think that I offer a different style of story telling, one that relies on pace, involved action sequences, and almost a "graphic novel" rhythm beating along inside the paragraphs. Each word is a drum beat, but is it enough? Probably not.
But if its enough to label me as entertaining, even despite a short line of paper-thin characters, then I'll be happy knowing I'm not at the bottom of that sweaty, bickering pool of would-be writers. So I ask you - Is my work any good? Do you feel anything? Does it feel sturdy and well built?
Thanks for reading.

Fabric roses are a great craft because they can bloom at any time and in any climate! Save an old t-shirt and repurpose it to create your own Upcycled Vintage Fabric Flowers from Linda Peterson. Stick a flower anywhere - on your shirt, your shoes or in your hair!
- Aleene's Fabric Fusion Peel and Stick Tape
- T-shirt to cut up
- 3" length of beaded trim (optional)
- Tulip Fabric Paint – Pink and Green pearl
- Scissors
- Fabric brush
- Pencil
- Pin back or barrette (optional)
- Cut out a circle from a piece of the t-shirt material. The bigger the circle, the bigger the flower.
- Draw a spiral inside the circle and cut out. (Please note that the dark pattern line in this photo is for reference only, your pattern line should be drawn barely visible.)
- Apply tape to edge of fabric.
- Peel off backing and begin rolling the fabric around itself. It is okay if the fabric gathers and bunches in different areas. If necessary, trim off the "cone" on the back of the flower. Cut another circle of fabric to fit over the back of your flower. Apply Peel and Stick Tape and press the fabric in place over the back of your flower. Turn flower over and arrange the petals.
- Create a rectangle from t-shirt fabric. Fold each side down creating a point in the center.
- Apply a piece of tape along bottom and fold the edges towards the center again. Trim off bottom to be flush. Paint leaf green.
- Paint flower pink. Apply leaf and trim to back of flower with Fabric Fusion tape. Glue pin back or barrette onto back of flower.

Another shot from my session with Damien Demolder yesterday - but not a set-up this time. I saw this cleaner walking along with his dustpan and brush and thought he had a very interesting profile.
They say a picture paints a thousand words but so far very few of mine have. Everyone interprets a picture in their own way but for me this one is all about inaccessibility. A cleaner's salary is unlikely to allow for shopping in Armani (neither does mine!) and I think the pillar's position on the 'path' and the line in front of the man both act as visual blocks in his way.
I would be very interested in knowing what it says to you, if anything, I may be reading more into it than there is.
Damien certainly gave us a lot of food for thought yesterday, as did the speaker at our camera club last Monday, ironically also a street photographer. I think I have a clearer idea of what to look for now - just need to get out and about more.
Many thanks for C&Cs on yesterday's offering and particularly to Moira (Mrswoolybill) for her very kind User Award.

to me he looks like an armani model ....
as you say ... we all view things differently
Nominating Constructive Critique
You've captured a strong and moving portrait in profile. As you say, the contrast between the reality of low-paid work and the illusion of the mall's gloss.
This is how street photography works best for me - creating links and relationships between people and their surrounding, although the participants will be blissfully unaware of those relationships. Do you know franken's portfolio? It's something that he does very well.
Back a few years ago, Eldon Square shopping mall in Newcastle, which normally bans photography (very politely but very firmly) announced a photography competition. For one weekend only, accredited entrants had the run of the place. The aim of the competition was to promote the wonderful experience of shopping there, and there was supposed to be an exhibition of winning entries.
I had a wonderful time, photographing bored husbands, fractious children; bulging waistlines and bulging Primark bags passing in front of designer windows. I know of several other people who were doing the same.
I wasn't surprised to hear nothing more, but I was surprised that the promised exhibition never materialised. I think they may have got a shock when they saw other people's view of their carefully crafted fantasy.
I do like that headless mannequin, by the way!

Another great capture Sandra, like Moira, I see the contrast in the worker and his surroundings. A very well thought out and presented street photograph!

Lance Briggs Crash
So the saga of Lance Briggs wrecking his $350,000-plus luxury sports car is over.? In case you missed it, Briggs' wrecked the car on the Edens expressway after 3 a.m. Monday morning and left the scene.? He was charged with a couple misdemeanors, and that's it.? Apparently, case closed.
The thing I can't, and won't be able to figure out, is that if this were me (or you, or any other "normal" person), we would have had the cops knocking on our door 10 minutes after the vehicle was found to check out why we left the scene.? Why was Briggs allowed to sequester himself in his home, then later at Halas Hall protected by the Bears' attorney and director of security, then make an appointment that night to go see the Illinois State Police?? This we'll never know, I guess.? And I'd also love to know how he got from the side of the road to his house, but this we'll never know either.
Today, one of my favorite writers revisits other Bears, like Fred Washington, that didn't walk away from a single-vehicle crash.
Also opining today is Jay Mariotti, picking apart the Bears organization's stance on the matter.? While Mike Mulligan says this doesn't damper the 2007 Bears' spirits.
I consider myself one of the biggest Bear fans to exist since I was a little kid. But now that I have little kids of my own, each time celebrities/athletes make bad decisions and get treated differently than common folks like us, I question more and more spending any of my own money to allow them to further their disobedience.
The problem I'm always wrestling with, though, is that if I don't spend my money, there are 100,000 other people lined up behind me that will take my season tickets, so what would my boycott accomplish?

Operation Windmill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Operation Windmill (OpWml) was the United States Navy's Second Antarctica Developments Project, an exploration and training mission to Antarctica in 1947–1948. This operation was a follow up to the First Antarctica Development Project known as Operation Highjump. The expedition was commanded by Commander Gerald L. Ketchum, USN, and the flagship of Task Force 39 was the USS Burton Island. The USS Edisto (AG-89) sailed on 1 November 1947 for the Panama Canal to rendezvous with the Burton Island for the expedition.[1][2]

Turn to the Lord
1You disgraceful nation,
gather around,
2before it's too late.
The Lord has set a time
when his fierce anger
will strike like a storm
and sweep you away.
3If you humbly obey the Lord,
then come and worship him.
If you do right and are humble,
perhaps you will be safe
on that day when the Lord
turns loose his anger.
The nations will be punished
Judgment on Philistia
4 # Isa 14.29–31Jer 47.1–7Ezek 25.15–17Joel 3.4–8Amos 1.6–8Zech 9.5–7 Gaza and Ashkelon
will be deserted
and left in ruins.
Ashdod will be emptied
in broad daylight,
and Ekron#2.4 Gaza … Ekron: Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron, and Gath (not mentioned because it was already destroyed) were the five major Philistine towns. uprooted.
5To you people of Philistia#2.5 people of Philistia: The Hebrew text also mentions "Canaan" and "Cherethites", which are other ways of referring to the Philistines.
who live along the coast,
the Lord has this to say:
"I am now your enemy,
and I'll wipe you out!"
6Your coast will be changed
into pasture land
and sheep pens.#2.6 pens: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text of verse 6.
7The Lord God hasn't forgotten
those survivors in Judah,
and he will help them—
his people will take your land
to use for pasture.
And when evening comes,
they will rest
in houses at Ashkelon.#2.7 Ashkelon: A Philistine town; see the note at 2.4.
Judgment on Moab and Ammon
8-9 # Isa 15.1—16.14Isa 25.10–12Jer 48.1–47Ezek 25.8–11Amos 1.13–15 Jer 49.1–6Ezek 21.28–32Ezek 25.1–7Amos 1.13–15 # Gen 19.24 The Lord All-Powerful,
the God of Israel, said:
I've heard Moab and Ammon
insult my people
and threaten their nation.#2.8,9 threaten their nation: Or "boast about their own nation".
And so, I swear by my very life
that Moab and Ammon will end up
like Sodom and Gomorrah—
covered with thorn bushes
and salt pits for ever.
Then my people who survive
will take their land.
10This is how Moab and Ammon
will at last be repaid
for their pride—
and for sneering at the nation
that belongs to me,
the Lord All-Powerful.
11I will fiercely attack.
Then every god on this earth
will shrink to nothing,
and everyone of every nation
will bow down to me,
right where they are.
Judgment on Ethiopia
12 # Isa 18.1–7 People of Ethiopia,#2.12 Ethiopia: The Hebrew text has "Cush", which was a region south of Egypt that included parts of the present countries of Ethiopia and Sudan.
the sword of the Lord
will slaughter you!
Judgment on Assyria
13 # Isa 10.5–34Isa 14.24–27Nah 1.1—3.19 The Lord will reach to the north
to crush Assyria
and overthrow Nineveh.#2.13 Nineveh: The capital of Assyria; Nineveh was protected by a moat filled with water from the nearby River Tigris.
14Herds of wild animals
will live in its rubble;
all kinds of desert owls
will perch on its stones
and hoot in the windows.
Noisy ravens will be heard
inside its buildings,
stripped bare of cedar.#2.14 stripped … cedar: One possible meaning for the difficult Hebrew text.
15This is the glorious city
that felt secure and said,
"I am the only one!"
Now it's merely ruins,
a home for wild animals.
Every passer-by simply sneers
and makes vulgar signs.

I have a radio receiver which operates on dry cell batteries. The battery compartment consists of two tubes one houses 3 cells while the other one has one cell. Both tubes have springs on one end (which touch the -ve pole of cells). Due to batteries being there for a long time there has been electrolyte leakage which has spilled inside the tubes and the springs have got corroded.
I need advice on how to clean the spilled electrolyte (which is dry now) and the springs which have corrosion on surface which is preventing current flow.
If it helps, my radio receiver is Hitachi Worldspace Receiver.
Thanks for help,

An emery board or light sandpaper. Clean off the residue gently by sanding the connection areas lightly and then give it a try, it necessary, try it again until the circuit is complete.
By no name today (Guest Post) 06/06/2007
I have also used an emery board or fine sand paper. Something else I would have tried is Q tips with alcohol to clean the area.
Sanding the battery terminals ( both ends ) can help older batteries. Pencil erasers used inside the device and on batteries, can refresh contact like on remotes.

Purchase Line graduate Dalton Patterson tells the Indiana Gazette ( http://bit.ly/175xYcT) he had a "positive attitude about school." Dalton says even after he got his license—a time when others became more likely to skip school—he didn't.
He says, "I figured I already had nine or 10 years of perfect attendance in, so why throw it away now?"
An illness once threatened Patterson's streak. He was diagnosed with bronchitis one Friday and advised to rest for three days. But that Monday was a snow day, so he returned to school the following Tuesday with his record intact.
Patterson, who graduated Tuesday, plans to attend Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster.

The post Mark Warner Holidays Summer Resorts video shoot appeared first on travizeo.]]>
So when it came to the pre-production discussions about this particular project, we were already very much on the same page as our clients (another reason we just love working with clients over the long term) We sprang into action on the 2nd of July with 4 days at Lemnos Resort in Greece.
This was followed by a flight to Rhodes, Greece to film Levante Resort for 5 and a half days.
A 3 hour ferry ride to Kos gave us another 4 days to film Lakitira resort as well as some general hotel shots of Helona which was luckily situated a few hundred meters down the beach. (Incidentally, Lakitira was where Carole and I got engaged over 3 years ago on our first Mark Warner holiday shoot
Another short 1 hour ferry to Turkey found us filming the all inclusive Sea Garden Resort in Bodrum, and finally a quick stop off in Brighton, back in the UK, to where we find ourselves now. Typing a blog post on our phones on a bus to London Heathrow, ready to fly to Sardinia in Italy.
This time we will be spending a full week at Perdepera resort covering everything it has to offer as well as some of the local areas. We fly out of Italy on the 29th July to Heathrow, landing late that night, then catching a precious few hours of sleep at a hotel in Gatwick ready to fly out the very next morning at 6am. (It didn't make sense going back to Brighton)
This flight takes us to Corsica, France to film San Luciano for 1 week. Then back to Brighton for 3 days and finally we fly out to Faro, Portugal to cover Ocean Club resort for another 1 week.
And then the really hard work starts of sifting through the Terabytes of video footage to compile a 90 second piece for each one of the 7 Mark Warner Resorts.
So far the shoot has gone very well, with overall great weather, great content (almost 2TB's so far) and a wealth of extra footage for use in future campaigns.
Our daily routine for these shoots is fairly structured, with one of us getting up at about 5am every morning to shoot a timelapse of the sunrise. If the morning light is good we may shoot a few general resort shots before a good hearty breakfast. One of our first duties is to sit down with the Mark Warner Resort manager to discuss our plan for the week and to collect the daily schedules for each of the departments. This way our producer Carole is able to draft up our own daily routine and to make sure that we cover every aspect that needs to be shown in the final product. It doesn't always go exactly according to plan, sometimes the weather is not a team player and sometimes the mountain bike staff hurt their ankles while scouting locations for us, so we cant get the best shots, but we always make the best out of every situation and find some way to utilize our time i.e photographing or filming rooms and restaurants indoors when the weather is not great.
The whole experience from the start of this production has been great so far, with all of the managers, staff and even the guests being very enthusiastic about us filming them, sometimes even adding in their own ideas and local knowledge of things to see and film.
We are looking forward to meeting more Mark Warner staff in the weeks to come and finally putting all our footage together for the Mark Warner Website.

The post Getting more out of your travel video editing workshop at Traverse 13 appeared first on travizeo.]]>
So not wanting to disappoint, I have sensed some keen interest in my own travel video editing workshop and would love to make sure that what I choose to teach that day is useful to everyone in attendance.
Unfortunately, video editing is not something that can be perfected in a day, so my decision on what to teach would be based on what will actually be useful to those attending my workshop. So to settle this matter and get a little insight before Traverse, please select one of the choices below.
The first choice is for a "Simple Intro to Video Editing" which will cover the very basics such as importing clips, getting familiar with an editing interface, choosing cuts and placing them on the timeline as well as adding music and basic fading. The second choice is for a "More Advanced Video Editing Tips" workshop where I will cover certain aspects that youtube can't teach you such as levels for different kinds of audio, effective intro and outro transitions, project management and rendering for the web as well as some youtube channel optimisation techniques to make sure your videos get seen online.
If you are however inclined to choose the first option, I would honestly recommend watching this playlist as it is a great place to get yourself up to speed with editing on Premiere pro. I will be doing the workshop on Premiere pro, but the skills I hope to teach everyone are easily transferable to any editing system. So please do pick an option below and let me know what I should focus on in my workshop. Thanks and I hope to see you all at 14:40 in Room 1.

Video Blogging or Vlogging has no doubt become a very important part of our culture.
Youtube is practically bursting at the seems with amazing vloggers, some of whom have been able to make a living out of talking to camera.
With the rise of online video, businesses have begun to sit up and take notice of these vloggers who have thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of followers.
The same thing is starting to happen in the travel industry, with companies such as Contiki taking groups of youtube vloggers on amazing trips around the world, in a group effort to showcase their products. Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
It has, for a while now, been an idea of ours to get more travel bloggers to start vlogging, as we think they already have half of what it takes to become a great vlogger.
1. They are passionate about travel
2. They know how to research a good travel story
and 3. They are passionate about travel (Yes, it's very important to be passionate about your subject matter)
We have met more than a few travel bloggers in the UK, who fit the bill perfectly, aside from 2 small yet necessary traits.
1. Knowing how to use a camera properly and how to edit videos
and 2. Being able to confidently talk to camera.
Even I suffer from a lack on confidence in front of the camera, so here is what we are planning to do:
Travizeo, the travel video agency in partnership with renowned travel bloggers Four Jandals, and the worlds biggest and best resource of online travel videos Tripfilms, have created the "Travel Blogger to Travel Vlogger" workshop and online course for any travel bloggers who are interested in learning how to create successful and engaging travel video content.
If this sounds like you, all you need to do is send us an email to hello@travizeo with the subject
"Travel Blogger to Vlogger"
Tell us a little about yourself and your travel blog, why you would like to be a part of this and what equipment you already have to work with, and remember, even an iPhone can be used to create great travel videos.
The physical workshops will be held in Brighton – UK, once or twice every few months, but we welcome anyone from around the world to enrol in our online workshop.
You might be asking yourself about now "how much is all of this going to cost" and we are very glad to say "nothing at all"
You will just need to get yourself down to the venue every time we have a workshop.
We look forward to hearing from you and getting started on this exciting project!!

The post Video Stories: Marketing's Next Big Thing appeared first on travizeo.]]>
"There's a fast-emerging trend we are seeing as a producer of videos for both major brands and agencies: the emergence of "stories" as the next big vehicle for brand communication. At least a dozen of our clients have undertaken projects to start producing human-interest stories via video to promote their brands, so it bears a closer look for anyone in the video and broader marketing industries:
In a world that proclaims "Content is king," it is these stories that are showing up as the next big thing. Whether it's an auto manufacturing company asking folks to look back into their past with their very first (insert brand here) car, or a mom reflecting on the first cake she baked from a box and how it made her feel, brands are encouraging consumers to be a part of the story by recalling their own experiences.
The resulting human interest stories, with a specific brand as a centerpiece, are being utilized in a number of creative ways. For example, the videos are showing up on a brand's Web site as personal brand commentary to humanize and personalize their corporate website. Equally or even more common, the video stories are used as a part of content on Facebook and other social-sharing sites. These videos are perfect complements to commercials that are uploaded on brand pages on YouTube, too.
There are a few unique benefits from these video stories for brands:
1. The videos come across as authentic (if shot correctly). They are not stylized, or stuffy, or corporate. They are real people sharing real memories that reflect positively on a brand.
2. Then, there's the endorsement by a satisfied customer expressed in warm, friendly, non-salesy manner. These testimonials, even when referring to the brand in memories from 10-15 years ago, open the door for future product trial and adoption by consumers.
3. And finally, these stories personalize the brand. They bring the brand down to the consumer level, which is appreciated by the consumer, and proves to be very motivational. It is this personalization of the brand that results in shareability.
Practically no one is going to share a video that's nothing more than a typical commercial featuring a new Mustang or other new car, but they might share a touching story of how someone felt about their first Mustang 10, 20 or even 30 years ago, and how they felt that first day cruising down the highway with the top down.
Stories, especially those in video form, will live on with the Internet as long as we all make an effort to ensure that they are "findable". As we all know, video already indexes well with search engines. Proper tagging and placing in various media will only help in sharing a brand's stories.
This trend will be worth watching in the coming months, as video stories have the promise to personalize brands in an authentic way."

Sprint net loss improves to $767M, sells 1.5M iPhones
updated 02:03 pm EDT, Thu October 25, 2012
Operating loss improves to less than half of Q2 results
The latest quarterly results from Sprint shows the carrier receiving a net loss of $767 million, an improvement from the $1.4 billion endured in Q2. The operating loss of $231 million for the period is less than half the $629 million from the second quarter, and almost reaches the same $208 million loss felt in Q3 last year.
The results also included an accelerated depreciation of $397 million relating to Network Vision updates and the impending closure of Nextel, of which 59-percent of customers were recaptured. Network Vision has now deployed 4G LTE in 32 cities, with over 13,500 sites classed as ready for construction in 115 more cities.
Sales of the iPhone remained steady at 1.5 million, while sales of LTE smartphones reached 1 million for the quarter, and 900,000 extra users were added to the overall network total.
The improvement in its net loss, though still costly to the company, will likely be seen as a good sign by Softbank, who decided to buy a 70-percent stake of Sprint. The Japanese carrier hopes to build on Sprint's spectrum position, after the deal closes in six months time.

Life can find you feeling pessimistic, however, a healthy body may help keep your outlook on life bright. There haven't been many studies done yet on how our physical health affects our physiological health, but I am sure it is profound. I became especially interested in that link after reading The Mood Cure by Julia Ross, M.A, who helps treat depression through nutrition.
Is it possible that eating fruits and vegetables that contain more antioxidants could make us happier and more optimistic about our future? There needs to be more studies (for example, it could be possible that optimistic people tend to eat more vegetables and fruits, hence the higher antioxidant levels), but personally, I wouldn't be surprised.
I know for myself that when I am eating right, and I feel healthy, it is much easier to be cheerful despite life's curve balls. Bad food, lack of sleep, not getting enough down time, or time with friends, can also hamper my mood and sense of optimism.
While there are a lot of factors for being able to face our futures with cheerfulness, eating more produce couldn't hurt, now could it? The Mood Cure tells us that we need plenty of protein and lots of produce (I think it is something like 8 cups worth a day!) to get the macro and micronutrients we need to stay healthy and happy. This study gives some evidence that the author is on to something
What about you? Do you find that your mood or sense of optimism is affected by how you eat?

Vietnam: A View From the Front Lines
(If any tax is payable it will be calculated and shown at checkout.)
moreTracing the American experience of the Vietnam War from its popular inception to its morale-crushing and bitter conclusion, Vietnam: A View from the Frontlines is a grunt's-eye view of the conflict - from the steaming rice paddies and swamps of the Mekong Delta, to the triple-canopy rainforest of the Central Highlands, to the forlorn Marine bases that dotted the DMZ. Like Karl Marlantes' ground-breaking novel Mattherhorn, this book will change the way we think about Vietnam. Told in the uncompromising, no-holds barred language of the soldiers themselves, the stories contained within this book detail everything from heroism to battle, and from helicopters hitting the LZs to the impact on soldiers' loved ones at home. It is a true and grippingly accurate portrait of the American war in Vietnam through the eyes of the soldiers, medics, corpsmen, nurses and widows who experienced it. The book is based on rich collections housed at the Center of Military History and at the Vietnam Archive at Texas Tech. less

Should TCU be National Champs?
I knew LSU was overrated and now with the loss to Ole Miss they have proved it. As a matter of fact I think the whole SEC is over rated. The best team in college football beleive it or not is TCU. There is not a college in the top 10 that is not paranoid to play these guys. I think they would give Florida, Arkansas or Texas all they could handle. They are a balanced team that plays all areas of the game well.(their kicking game is a little suspect). Their team is full of cast off runningbacks and athletes that have been turned into defensive animals. The offence can score by running or throwing the football, and is downright scary. These guys are a legitimite contenders for the National Championship and should be given a shot at it, in all fairness.

Indianapolis has what it takes to host a Super Bowl. After the success of the 2012 game, the city's first, there is no doubting that.
What's less clear is whether Indianapolis' smooth Super Bowl week is enough to trump the appeal of sexier destinations. That will, perhaps, be the city's biggest obstacle as it embarks on a bid to host Super Bowl LII in February 2018, an effort announced Friday by area leaders in a press conference at Lucas Oil Stadium.
"It's a reasonable thing (to bid) because the last Super Bowl in Indianapolis went very well," said marketing consultant Marc Ganis, who has worked ...

Crosby draws penalty to set up winning power play
Penguins/NHL Videos
UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Sidney's Crosby biggest assist didn't show up in the box score Sunday.
Crosby had three assists in the Penguins' 5-4 overtime win over the New York Islanders in Game 3 of their first-round Stanley Cup playoff series. But Penguins coach Dan Bylsma singled out a play Crosby made immediately before he found Chris Kunitz for the game-winner as the most important.
"I probably think the best set-up he had was drawing the penalty," Bylsma said. "That's kind of typical, what Sidney Crosby can do. He's a tough guy, a power forward, and he draws the penalty by playing that way — playing down low and going to the net. That sets up, obviously, the game-winning goal on the power play."
Crosby drew the penalty after carrying the puck along the right boards. He pulled up to try to find a teammate in the middle, but when nothing presented itself, he put his head down and charged toward the net. As Crosby made his move, Islanders defenseman Brian Strait was called for holding, much to the dismay of the boisterous Nassau Coliseum crowd.
It didn't take long for the Penguins to capitalize. Just 33 seconds into the power play, Crosby set up Kunitz in the left circle for a one-timer past Evgeni Nabokov with 11:16 left in overtime.
"He's putting it on a tee for me. I've just got to put it on net," Kunitz said. "It's great to have him back and playing and seeing the vision. It doesn't seem like he's missed too much time."
Crosby, who has five points in two games since returning from a monthlong absence with a broken jaw, took a pass from Paul Martin along the goal line by the left post to start the play.
As Islanders defenseman Andrew MacDonald slid toward Crosby, he found Kunitz in the vacated area. Dropping to a knee as he shot, Kunitz lifted the puck past Nabokov before the Islanders were able to recover.
"That was pretty much all him," Crosby said. "He did a great job of finding the open area there. It's not an easy play backing up like that and making the shot that he made. That was a big one for us."
The goal served as redemption for Kunitz, who took the blame for a mistake that led to the tying goal by New York's John Tavares midway through the third period.
"It feels really good," Kunitz said of the first playoff overtime goal of his nine-year career. "It was my fault on the fourth goal. I didn't put it deep; I put it wide. They moved it up quick, and Tavares had a great one-on-one, good shot. It's something you regret in your head. I was just fortunate enough to get one back in overtime to make up for it."

Interactive Jobs
To run an interactive job on Edison's compute nodes you must request the number of nodes you want and have the system allocate resources from the pool of free nodes. The following command requests 2 nodes using the debug queue.
edison% qsub -I -q debug -l mppwidth=48
The -I flag specifies an interactive job. The -q flag specifies the name of the queue and -l mppwidth determines the number of nodes to allocate for your job, but not as you might expect. The number of nodes given to your job (remember, the system allocates nodes, not cores), is the value of mppwidth divided by the number of cores per node. On Edison, with 24 cores per node, the number of nodes is mppwidth/24 plus one more if there is a remainder. (Other job directives including the account name [-A repo] can be passed as arguments).
Assuming there are free nodes, the qsub command will log you into a MOM node and return your prompt. You will be in your home directory, but can reference the directory from which you submitted the job as $PBS_O_WORKDIR. From the shell prompt, you can start your program on the compute nodes using the "aprun" command.
edison% cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
edison% aprun -n 48 ./a.out
The aprun run above launches 48 instances of the executable "a.out" on 2 Edison nodes, which will use all 48 cores. If your code is parallelized using MPI, then each instance is an MPI task and they can communicate via MPI routines. If a.out is "serial" then you will have 48 identical copies of the serial program running concurrently.
You don't have to launch 24 instances of your code on each node. The -N option to aprun specifies the number of instances (MPI tasks) to run on each node. The following sequence of commands will grab 6 Edison nodes and run 48 total instances (MPI tasks) of your code, 8 on each node.
edison% qsub -I -q debug -l mppwidth=144
(wait for job to start ...)
edison% cd $PBS_O_WORKDIR
edison% aprun -n 48 -N 8 ./a.out
