In Doctor Who and the Daleks: Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. we find The Doctor, his niece, and granddaughter, taking another journey on the Tardis. They are joined by a bumbling London police officer Tom Campbell, who unknowingly enters the Tardis just as the trio prepares for their latest voyage. Together, they travel to the year 2150 A.D. to find a war-ravaged Earth, governed by, who else, the Daleks! These cyborgs prove to be more deadly than they appear, transforming their prisoners into living dead soldiers called Robomen. Others they enslave to work deep in mines, burrowing down to the Earth's core to transform our planet into a titanic spaceship!
But beneath a bombed-out London is an underground resistance movement, led by a rebel named Dortmun, who's not afraid to raise his voice "Obey motorized dust bins? We'll see about that!" The Doctor and the resistance fighters strike back against the exterminate-happy Daleks in an epic battle for the future of the Earth! Whovians might recognize actor Bernard Cribbins as Officer Campbell. He made a return to the Dr. Who universe four decades later as Wilfred Mott. The great character actor Peter Cushing makes his second and last appearance as The Doctor in this one of only two theatrical Dr. Who movies. This hard-to-find film is one that not just adult Whovians, but beginning Who aficionados, can enjoy. -Staff Review by Josh D.

Because somebody finally decided to have mercy on me, Dreamworks has cast Will Ferrell and Tina Fey in an animated superhero movie. No, wait, thats the movie Im going to watch to get myself out of a couple of years of purgatory No, the merciful part came last week, at the dawn of the New York Comic Convention, when DC Comics announced that theyre dropping the prices of their monthly titles all of them back to $2.99 an issue, escaping the $3.99 price point thats been creeping up on us for some time. Not to be outdone, Marvel quickly released a statement that they, too, will abandon the $3.99 price point on new titles. Im not saying that Marvel did it because DC did it you cant make a decision that big that quickly but I dont think the timing of the announcement is a coincidence at all. Regardless of why theyre doing it or why they announced it when they did, my wallet is extremely happy to hear that the prices are going down.
This is not to say, of course, that there wont be compromises. With the loss of the extra dollar, DC is also doing away with the second features and extra story pages that have accompanied most of their $3.99 books, and in fact, the number of story pages across the board is dropping from the standard 22 pages to 20. Basically, the readers are being asked to sacrifice two pages to save a dollar. To me, thats an acceptable compromise. Writers will have to adjust a bit to fit their stories in two fewer pages, but I think that it wont be too drastic a change for any of them. The only group of people I think stand to really be hurt by this change are the artists, who are typically paid by the page. This change, in essence, will lower their per-book rate by 1/11th. Hopefully it wont be too big a hit for most of them, and (Im going to be optimistic here) maybe this will even help a few of them to make their deadlines and result in fewer late books? Maybe? Perhaps? And those without that problem heres hoping they can pick up a little extra work somewhere to make up for the deficit.
Marvels announcement has me slightly less optimistic while DC has promised an across-the-board cut on their standard monthly titles, all Marvel has promised is that their new titles, beginning in January, will launch at $2.99. The two words here that make me particularly disturbed are new and debut. Does that mean books like New Avengers will stay at $3.99? Does that mean a new title that launches in January 2011 will begin costing $3.99 in February? And has there been any sort of announcement since the first one that clarifies this issue that perhaps somebody could send me a link to that I may discuss it on the 2 in 1 Showcase podcast? These are the questions that are burning in Americas mind, Marvel.
At any rate, these price drops at least from my perspective can only be a good thing. Although admittedly Ive backed down a bit from my stance of not buying any standard-sized comics for $3.99, I havent abandoned it entirely. If it were a lesser writer than Peter Tomasi on Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors, I wouldnt have given it a try. And had I known the aforementioned New Avengers was going to stay at $3.99 after the first issue, I doubt I would have even tried the first issue. (This would have been a shame, as its turned out to be the only time Ive ever really liked an Avengers title written by Brian Michael Bendis, but its how it would have been.)
Interestingly, both publishers have credited the sales of their digital comics for their ability to lower the prices on the print versions. If that is, in fact, the case (Im not calling anyone a liar, just playing devils advocate here), then thats great. Im not reading any digital comics, I dont particularly want to read digital comics, but if somebody else reading digital comics means I can get my weekly stack a little cheaper, that makes me happy. Im not an economist or a publisher, Im not sure exactly how this can work, but Im not one to argue with results. I havent seen any sales numbers for the digital comics, nor have I seen any comparisons or analysis concerning how theyre impacting the print sales. I can only assume, then, that digital sales (with a much lower per-unit cost for the publisher, as they dont have to concern themselves with paper, ink, printing, or physical distribution) can subsidize the per-unit cost of the physical copy. Is this indicative of the way comics may go in the future?
It kind of reminds me of whats happened to the music industry. Once downloading music became easy (and legal), sales of physical CDs have absolutely plummeted. Most big box stores have watched their selection of CDs dwindle to nothing, and the same thing is beginning to happen to DVDs and Blu-Rays. The only people I know who still buy CDs on a regular basis are those who consider themselves collectors, those who simply have to have a physical CD case to put in a rack, read the liner notes, and admire the artwork.
Sound familiar?
My biggest problem with digital comics is concern for the local comic shop owner. That remains my biggest problem. I dont want to see comic shops go out of business. Theyve been the lifeblood of the industry and by extension the entire art form for going on three decades now, and leaving them to wither on the vine while we all go digital seems horribly ungrateful to me. But if shop owners can find a way to make this new paradigm work if they can make their money by selling to the hard-cores who need the physical copy (and supplement that income with merchandise like toys and t-shirts, things that you cant download), and the casual reader paying for the downloads helps support the industry on their end thats a balance I think I could live with.
I hope what we saw happen last week is a step in a new direction. And I sincerely hope its a step in the right one.
Favorite of the Week: October 6, 2010
Stepping up to proudly claim last weeks favorite trophy is the latest issue of Chris Roberson and Michael Allreds Vertigo title, I, Zombie. Issue six of this series is a standalone issue featuring the origins of Scott, the were-terrier. I like the format this seems to establish, with a quieter, character-based issue giving us a breather between the larger story arcs, and I love the new cast member that seems to have been added to the title with this issue. Roberson and Allred have taken some of the classic monster tropes, thrown them into a blender, added their own seasoning and come up with one of the freshest comics in years. I love this book.

|I think one of the great things about living in the electronic age that we live in, is that anybody can publish just about anything they want. Of course, there is a cost, and it is up to the author if they want to pay that cost.
Also, ole, and I also say this with respect, the definition of a paycheck may be different for different people. Working (although I have never thought of researching something I love to research work) night and day may not result in a large monetary sum, but accomplishment of a major project can provide a feeling better than a paycheck. Of course, when you do get to that point, it is an awesome feeling when people do give you money for something that you created.
I would never want to dissuade people from using their ability to imagine and create because the money might not be there at the end.

|Identification of infants with significant refractive error and strabismus in a population screening program using noncycloplegic videorefraction and orthoptic examination.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 12556374 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: The second Cambridge Infant Vision Screening Program examined whether screening for accommodative errors by using videorefraction without cycloplegia could effectively serve as a first stage of screening for refractive errors, measured by standard cycloplegic retinoscopy. The screening also included an orthoptic examination for detection of strabismus. METHODS: All infants born in the Cambridge (UK) Health District, over a 2-year period, were invited for screening. Of those 5142 (76%) with mean age 8.1 +/- 0.8 months (SD) attended and received noncycloplegic videorefraction and an orthoptic examination. All those with a focusing error or orthoptic problem, as well as a randomly selected sample of visually normal control subjects, were invited to follow-up a month later for cycloplegic retinoscopy, repeat noncycloplegic videorefraction and orthoptic examination. RESULTS: Of the 5142 screened, 514 had a focusing error or orthoptic problem (positives). Four hundred thirty-nine of these and 284 visually normal control subjects (negatives) attended follow-up. A refractive or orthoptic condition was confirmed in 59.0% of the positive cases, whereas infants in 96.8% of the negative cases were confirmed normal. Adjusting for the proportions of the population represented by those infants seen at follow-up, sensitivity for the screening procedure was calculated at 0.67 and specificity at 0.96. Detailed results are presented in terms of the different conditions detected at screening (far, near, and anisometropic focus and orthoptic error), distribution of greatest axes at screening, and a comparison of initial videorefraction with repeat videorefraction and cycloplegic retinoscopy. CONCLUSIONS: A noncycloplegic screening procedure, simpler to perform than cycloplegic screening, succeeded in detecting a large proportion of infants with significant ametropia, particularly those with significant hyperopia, which is considered to be a strabismogenic and amblyogenic risk factor.

Temple University School of Medicine Researchers to Help Build National Clinical Data Research Network with Funding from Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute
January 15, 2014
Researchers at Temple University School of Medicine (TUSM) have been awarded funding from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to help establish a new national patient-centered clinical data research network known as PCORnet. The funding comes as part of an 18-month PCORI contract awarded to the P²aTH learning health system, a four-university consortium that includes Temple University School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh, Penn State College of Medicine/Hershey Medical Center, and Johns Hopkins University/Johns Hopkins Health System and Johns Hopkins Health Care. P²aTH will contribute to the development of a Mid-Atlantic data network -- one of 29 such networks that were approved for a total of $93.5 million from PCORI on December 17 to form PCORnet. The P²aTH consortium will receive a total of $7 million, with $1.15 million directed to patient-centered, clinical-research infrastructure development at Temple Health.
"We're proud to have been selected," said Anuradha Paranjape, MD, MPH, FACP, Professor of Medicine at Temple's medical school and Chief of the Section of General Internal Medicine at Temple University Hospital. "The national network will, for the first time, create a clinical data system to cover the country, using existing data sources," said Dr. Paranjape, who also serves as site investigator for Temple on the P²aTH PCORI contract.
Such a vast network will provide researchers nationwide with access to data on diverse populations, enabling them to study trends in procedures and disease incidence, for example. It will also allow researchers to focus on questions and outcomes that are relevant to patients, such as which treatments are preferred for a specific disease and why, and could prove valuable for the investigation of rare diseases, in which it often is difficult to identify patient populations that are large enough to obtain statistical significance. PCORnet is further expected to improve the speed and efficiency of patient-centered research and will require the involvement of patients and other stakeholders in the collection and use of data.
Over the next 18 months, Dr. Paranjape and colleagues, including Aaron A. Sorensen, Director of Informatics at TUSM, will use their P²aTH PCORI funds to build the necessary information technology infrastructure at Temple that will allow existing patient data stored in electronic health records (EHRs) to be incorporated into the Mid-Atlantic network. A major part of that process is standardizing EHR data, since different research partners in the network use different EHR software.
"The first step in the process will be to extract de-identified clinical data from Temple's EHR so that it can be pooled with similar data from the other P²aTH EHRs," Sorensen said. "The end goal is to create large repositories that will help investigators better understand health outcomes of diverse patient populations in the Mid-Atlantic suffering from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, atrial fibrillation, and obesity."
To transform the data into a standard format, Sorenson's team plans to install i2b2 software at TUSM and then map EHR data to that software. In addition to that work, the Temple scientists are also expected to contribute to the development of policies that govern data sharing and security and protection of patient privacy for the national network and contribute to ensuring the interoperability of P²aTH with the other networks.
Dr. Paranjape and Sorensen will be working closely with the overall principal investigator for P²aTH, Rachel Hess, MD MS, Associate Professor of Medicine, Epidemiology, and Clinical and Translational Sciences at Pittsburgh.
The P²aTH consortium was selected for the PCORI contract following a review process in which patients, caregivers, and other stakeholders joined scientists to evaluate submitted proposals. Applications were assessed for the capacity of their network to collect complete, comprehensive clinical data, how well they will engage patients and other stakeholders, and their ability to maintain data security and patient privacy among other criteria.
All awards are approved pending completion of a business and programmatic review by PCORI staff and issuance of a formal award contract.
PCORI has awarded a total of $464.4 million since it began funding comparative effectiveness research (CER) in 2012. For more information about PCORI funding, visit http://pcori.org/funding-opportunities.

Federal Communications Commission
CHAIRMAN JULIUS GENACHOWSKIRE: Facilitating the Deployment of Text-to-911 and Other Next Generation 911 Applications, PS Docket
No. 11-153; Framework for Next Generation 911 Deployment, PS Docket No. 10-255.
When faced with an emergency, one of the first things people do is reach out to seek help for themselves
or others. We communicate by whatever means we can, and more than ever a go-to means of
communications is text messaging. This is why one of the Commission's top priorities has been
promoting the rapid deployment of NG 911. NG 911 will revolutionize the way consumers and first
responders interact, providing enhanced tools like text-to-9-1-1 to improve public safety and save lives.
Until text-to-911 is widely available, and especially during the transition, it is imperative that consumers
do not mistakenly believe that an undelivered text has been received by emergency authorities.
The automatic "bounce back" requirement now adopted by the Commission will quickly inform
consumers that text-to-911 service is not available and to contact emergency services by another means,
such as a voice call or, for individuals with disabilities, using telecommunications relay services to access
Importantly, today's action ensures that all consumers--whether using traditional SMS or interconnected
text services, such as messaging apps that can text any phone number--will get bounce-back messages
when 911 is unreachable by text. This is vital: As technology transitions continue the Commission must
continue to protect consumers and public safety.

By Tabitha Goodling Central Pa. Correspondent
MILLERSTOWN, Pa. — Rachael Henry admits she did not know the definition of a "barn quilt" six years ago.
She just knew that the square, wooden, painted objects were very creative and she wanted to make one.
Henry, of East Waterford, Juniata County, Pa., first noticed the artistic barn decoration on a house in the Loysville, Pa., area.
"I decided to make one for myself," Henry said. Before long friends noticed and she was making barn quilts for not only barns but for sheds and houses, too.
Henry soon found herself taking orders for her multi-colored and detailed artworks. Her sister-in-law has a booth at the craft business, Stitch in Time, in Millerstown, Perry County, Pa., and asked Henry to consider joining her in the booth with her barn quilts. Henry soon became the proprietor of "Barn Quilts by Rachael."
The Juniata County-native never dreamed she would be making outdoor décor for barns.
Henry and her family live on what can be described as a "hobby farm," with two steers and some pigs on their property. Her husband comes from a long line of farmers in the Juniata County area.
She said the hobby of making the barn quilts surprised her when it became a business. She said she was amazed by how popular her work became and that she was soon sending the quilts to the states of Washington and North Carolina.
A typical project takes Henry a week to two weeks to create. She uses 3/4-inch oak plywood, two coats of primer and three coats of latex exterior paint. She also uses tape to make each quilt pattern square.
Each barn quilt is individual.
"I try not to do a repeat. I don't want to repeat it down to a T."
She said the flag design is one that is especially popular.
"I just get excited when I do one that's completely different than the last one. I love to pull the tape and see how it looks."
Henry likes to use a variety of shades of color. She does typical star patterns and block patterns. The quilts can be hung in square form or at a point. She also creates a size that she refers to as a "barn quilt runner."
Her typical barn quilt measures about four feet by four feet. A barn quilt runner is rectangular and the tops and bottoms are longer in width.
"I use three repeating patterns on those," she said, adding, "I hang it on a chain so it can be seen from both sides."
Her prices range from $25 for a small piece to $150 for a 4-by-4-foot piece. She sold 40 such quilts in 2013.
Henry said she has no educational background in art. She just likes to make things she considers to be attractive and eye-catching.
"I dabble here and there. If I see something I can make for myself or someone else — I just do it."

I just moved my horse to a new stable, and the field where she gets turned out is next to a field with at least 1 stallion. The lady who has the stallion was supposed to put up hot wire because her horses had torn the fence up pretty badly. She hasn't done that yet, so I had just been turning her out in the round pen.
Today, a guy that we're friends with that boards out there turned my horse out in the field that she's "assigned" to. The other horses broke through the fence and got in with her. Instead of bringing her in, he called me to see if he should bring her in or leave her out. I was asleep and didn't call him back until an hour later when I woke up. He didn't bring her in until an hour later.
I'm pretty sure there's 2 or 3 studs in the field, so I'm hoping they were too busy fighting with each other to get to her, but she is in heat, so she definitely would have let them if they tried.
Are there any signs I can look for today when I go out there to tell if she was bred? How soon can a vet tell if she is pregnant? How soon can they do an abortion if she is pregnant?
She's at least in her late teens, possibly even in her 20's, so I'm hoping that even if she did get bred that she's not pregnant... Wish me luck.

Watch Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, Pharrell in 'It's on Again' Video
Last week's short teaser for "It's on Again," starring Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, and Pharrell, was just a taste of what they had in store for fans.
The four-minute video, which was released this morning on Monday morning, features each of the talented artists in a superhero-like drama perfect for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 soundtrack
In the video, Alicia stuns in an all black getup while Pharrell seems to be controlling the entire operation behind a giant wall of computers. The video also features Kendrick alongside Spider-Man composer, Hans Zimmer.
Alicia has been teasing the video for weeks now, and on Sunday night, the "No One" singer tweeted a photo of a behind-the-scenes look at the video.
#ItsOnAgain…The Video…Tomorrow!! 😉 pic.twitter.com/qF5tG3udIH
— Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) April 13, 2014
"And even through disaster/ Eye of the tiger for hope/ I'm trying to find my way back/ There's no day off for heroes," Alicia sings.

This is a continuation thread, the old thread is Here
Damn, 2500 post in one treaf for one game ^^
Have we gotten any info on how to unlock all the characters? other than just playing trough story mode.
Thanks Natsugray
I'm getting Storm 2 regardless but I wanted to know if it was competitive like the GNT series. Are the wakeups in this and are you able to disrupt your opponents combos?
I never understood the hate for the GNT series.
AOtheGamer's review
you can disrupt a combo but not like in the GNT series, in the GNT series you had 4 mini bars of chakra(i'm reffering to GNT4's chakra gauge here, i'm not sure if it's still the same) and it cost 3 mini bars to use a substitution jutsu that attacked the opponent mid-combo, in storm 2 the substitution jutsu takes hardly any chakra to pull off, you wont automatically attack the opponent though from it, instead you'll appear behind them, where you can do whatever you like then.
as far as competitiveness goes, this will likely be very competitive as it is online :) i loved the GNT series, but it got quickly overlooked with other naruto games that have good graphics such as storm 1 and 2
I meant wakeup supers. When your opponent is about to get up you pull out your super. You have to time it correctly. I understand bout Knjing combos but if you're opponent is good enough he/she can easily counter your knj thus leaving you open with less chakra. In GNT you can't just mash full combos, some combos have delays where you can disrupt them with your own combos or even jump out of combos. I'm a bit skeptical on the new GNT ex game even though the arc goes up to the tag team of raikage and bee but I've been hungry for a Shippuden game and Storm looks too good not to play.
around 40 to 50 seconds into the match you'll see me pulling off a wakeup super. This vid is super old
Assuming that I have my facts straight, characters were invincible during wake up in Ultimate Ninja Storm.
If you're looking for a competitive fighting game, you'll likely be disappointed. If you're looking for an immersive recreation of the Naruto series, or just a pick-up-and-play Naruto fighter, then you should be pleased with Ultimate Ninja Storm 2.
I want to see Kakuzu wind style: pressure damage. Letting you use his hearts so freely is epic. Im amazed at Minatos awekening, you throw the kunai and teleport... THE REAL EFFING DEAL. I was happy about everything, but Madara awakening topped the game.

Yes, half marathons are big now in road racing.
While they are not as plentiful as 5Ks that dot the state like raisins on an oatmeal cookie, they are showing up more and more often on race calendars.
With the closing of Sandy Hook national recreation area and thus the cancelling of the Jersey Shore Half Marathon that was to have taken place today, disappointed runners may be searching for an alternative race. While the Sandy Hook course features a beautiful setting with water on both sides of the route, another race also features a beautiful setting. ...

|Isolated congenital pulmonary regurgitation with right ventricular outflow tract aneurysm--a rare variant of Uhl's anomaly.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20529159 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|Isolated absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a very rare entity. We report the case of a four-year-old boy who had congenital absent pulmonary valve with a thin and aneurysmal right ventricular infundibulum. The histological picture was suggestive of Uhl's anomaly. This association of partial right ventricular Uhl's anomaly with absent pulmonary valve syndrome has not been described before. We discuss the embryological and clinical significance of this association.

CLEVELAND, Ohio (CBS) -- You know, the Cavaliers reportedly still have hopes for re-signing LeBron James in free agency this summer if the Miami Heat star opts out. A good start in that process might be getting his name right.
Some people get no respect. That's "LaBron"'s name spelled incorrectly on scoreboard in CLE. #Cavs pic.twitter.com/WMZZDoH0mE— M.S. Boyer/J. Valade (@PDcavsinsider) March 18, 2014
To be fair, it does sound like "LaBron." But still, not a great look there. James promptly went out and scored 25 in the first quarter and 31 in the half vs. Cleveland.

A flood of last-minute income tax returns swamped the computer servers of a California software company. Taxpayers filing electronically have had to wait hours for confirmation that their forms have made it to the IRS.
A spokesman for Intuit, the company that makes the popular Turbotax and Proseries tax preparation software, says delays started early Tuesday and got worse as the midnight filing deadline approached.
During peak demand, the company was processing 50 to 60 returns
a second. Intuit has alerted the IRS to the backlog. The company is
urging users of its software to be patient and to try to get their
returns done earlier next year.

In October 2009, Cruise was a "surprise" guest when Matt Lauer was roasted at the friar's Club.
He wore the hooded brown habit and sandals of a Franciscan Capuchin friar.
But that kid from Podunk, now unloading freight at the big-box store, is a universe away from Oxford and a Capuchin friar buddy.
His first theater role was as friar Laurence in a UVA production of Romeo and Juliet.
A man in a knit cap called out to the friar on duty, Father Paul Lostritto.
Nevertheless he reverently greeted the friar and bade him be seated.
This the friar promised to do, and departed with the knight.
The friar was at hand to release Juliet from her tomb the very instant after the fatal phial had been emptied.
Several of the by-standers declared that he was not that friar.
Without any further preamble the priest took a seat near the fire by the side of the Capuchin friar.
late 13c., from Old French frere "brother, friar" (9c.), originally the mendicant orders (Franciscans, Augustines, Dominicans, Carmelites), who reached England early 13c., from Latin frater "brother" (see brother).

However, you need to have 295 for your Raven 3L. How else you gonna jam it w/ ECM old skool?
When it comes to the light and mediums, if they have some sort of screwball maximum engine size, you probably don't want to buy the biggest engines per chassis until you get the 'mech. What are those non-screwball sizes? Roma Curia and I have these posts, but here is the tl;dr:
Roma: XL300, XL325, XL280, XL255
DoomHaven: XL300, XL325, XL280, XL255, XL340, XL360

XL210's are useless outside of commandos and some specialized super slow heaver mech builds. XL255 weighs exactly the same as the XL250 and there isn't a single mech in the game that can use one but not the other so never buy an XL250. IMO, the most valuable XL engines to have around are in order: XL300, XL325, XL280, XL255. After that you start getting into engines that you want to run on specific mechs/chassis. I would only recommend picking up an XL340 if you really want to put the max engine in either a Cicada or a Cataphract everything else either can't use it or is better off with either an XL325 or XL350.
A couple additional points:
The CN9-D, TBT-3C, and AS9-K come stock with an XL300; the CTF-3D comes stock with the XL280; and the STK-5S comes with an XL255. Most of the MC-purchasable champions and hero 'mechs also come with XL engines as stock. So, you may want to keep that in mind when you are ready to buy an XL engine by itself.
When I was running Dragons and Catapults, I used the XL300 exclusively. It has seen heavy usage with Trebuchets and Quickdraws. If you intend to sit in that "heavy-medium to medium-heavy" range of 'mechs, I can't recommend this engine enough. It is simply the most-important XL engine in the game, by far. For the other engines, it really is a "build it in Smurfy first; do I have the money?" mentality. I really only bought additional XL engines because I had a ton of money.
I would throw on the XL360 engine on that list as well for the maximum engine size for Dragons and Quickdraws, and as a good Victor engine.
The last thing to point out is that, after the XL300, power-rating generally "costs" more tonnage per increment than below the 300. The difference between an XL250 and XL300 is 3 tons of weight; between an XL300 and XL350 is 6.5 tons; and between an XL350 and XL400 is 11.5 tons. It's important to keep that in mind when you want to buy a new engine.

|Not a problem. And thanks for the Haw River comment, we moved around a bit when I was a kid an spent a few years in Altamahaw, NC. Can remember going to Haw River to a fish monger there. Also remember going to a butcher and getting foot longs for holidays and picnics, but want to say that was Glen Raven.

#10: Beautiful ♦ Snoop Dog
The Review (download this song now)
Well intentioned claims that inserting a eunuch like Pharrell Williams to bleat his falsetto as a coda for what turned out to be the best Snoop single of the decade resulted in a love song devoid of the misogyny so common in gansta rap in general and the snoop dog cannon specifically could not be further off the mark.
This is a man, after all, who walked the red carpet at the 2003 MTV Awards with two women on leashes and fed the rumor that they were not only prostitutes, but his prostitutes.
Is it gansta black male machismo that, according to mythipedia, would have you believe that Snoop Dogg met his wife Shante while hitch hiking along Santa Monica Blvd. He said he had intended to rob and murder whoever picked him up but he said that he fell in love with Shante as soon as she stopped to pick him up. He then decided to only rob and rape her.
Or is it meta- gansta black male machismo?
Cuz, Snoop is a married man with a wife and three kids at home – and pimping? Pimping, media savvy college kids will tell ya, is just a part of the Snoop persona. Snoop isn't even his real name ya undershizzle?
So what kind of world exactly do we support by including Beautiful as #10 in our top ten list of songs from the decade? I don't really know, I left my Political Correctness decoder ring on the dance floor and Snoop's flow is so single malt that if we are setting the women's movement back at all, we are being so very very kind about it all

#9: Last Night ♦ The Strokes
The Review: (download this song now)
There was a moment at the very start of the decade after the dust settled on the Y2K disaster that never happened and right before the Towers came down that those of us in New York experienced a moment not unlike those moments you get when you are half asleep- half awake.
A group of kids came alone and created a sound that made you forgive them their trust funds because they created a sound that made you forget, in your half asleep state, that your east village neighborhood did not have a Starbucks to record shop ratio that reminded you, every ½ block, that the tsunami of gentrification had long since leveled your neighborhood and left behind a corporate template of urban planning complete with invisible but very powerful soul sucking vacuums.
Last Night- the hit single from IS THIS IT, is a most delicious cigarette over one last Makers Mark at 4am and the wonderful sensation one gets by throwing that highball glass against that brick back wall because you aint leaving this bar until they throw your punk ass out. Last Night is the very essence of Romance: a celebration of the present moment without consideration for the hangover, the disappointment, that is sure to come.
Last Night let those of us in our half asleep moment in time feel as if New York might be a place where something might happen again. Where a few guys would give the 90s the finger, and- grunge and post punk be damned- not apologize for being rock stars, show up at a gallery with the next Andy Warhol and puke and do drugs make music and yes there are some streets in Soho that are still lined with cobblestone and we will all make music and art and drink and fuck models and be famous.
And then, we woke up and realized they stole the whole thing from Tom Petty. A classic case of cut and paste plagiarism, plopping Petty's "American Girl" into a younger, skinnier pair of jeans and end running the system because Daddy is famous and, oh, did I mention the prep schools? And the trust funds?
But Last Night was always about nostalgia. And those of us in New York at the time had to admit we were not running with the Velvet Underground and Basquiat- we were shopping at Barnes and Noble, drinking Starbucks and wearing clothes from Urban Outfitters.
And then, of course, the towers came down and the decade went all emo on us.

#8: Rich ♦ Yeah Yeah Yeahs
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
While the Yeah Yeah Yeahs seminal tune "Maps" gets much of the critics praise for bridging the garage rock revival & post punk and art house noise that seemed to herald the YYYs as a baseless Sonic Youth of the new millennium, it is the opening track from their 2003 album Fever To Tell that takes the cake, shoves it in your face, has its way with you and does not call you in the morning.
Nick Zinner's guitar drops a half second chug that immediately let's you know that the restraint in the songs prologue will soon give way to the seductive excess that is Karen O's orgasmic wails swooning with the chugging diesel circus that are Brian Chase's drums and the limitless range Zinner's guitar creating a sound so, well, rich, that one can not believe that this is a trio.
Think of the female power of Bikini Kill, subtract the political correctness of the riot grrrll movement, add the libido and strut of a gangster rapper and sprinkle on a little Janis Joplin and you begin to appreciate the raw power on display in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs RICH our #8 top song of the decade. But all good things must come to an end. The YYY's did not go the way of Sonic Youth, but are currently doing their damndest to reinvent themselves as the new millennium's Depeche Mode.

#7: Skinny Love ♦ Bon Iver
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
You want to remember your worst breakup and have it channeled not into some Chris Brown or Rhianna style vengeance or anger, but into something with beauty, not anger, just a "how is this happening to me jaw dropping horror?" Of course you do. Skinny Love may be the best song born of a break up ever.
Justin Vernon, the singer songwriter, of Bon Iver has been there and offers a very inviting shoulder to cry on.
Famously made in alone in a remote wood cabin, the album that gave us Skinny Love: For Emma, Forever Ago brings to mind a sound that Sigur Ross might produce if they were a folk act…
No, imagine if Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) could manifest itself in a folk song. What draws the listener in is now some emo "Woa is me bullshit" but a flesh and bone American male facing grief honestly and fully and without apology. On top of a steel guitar that draws you in sink layers upon layers of heartbreaking falsetto vocals; layers does not even get at it- Vernon claims that these songs were meant to be sung by 100 people.
Put one some headphones, and add another layer of vocals to make it 101.
With that many people singing, maybe she will come back.

#6: Paper Planes ♦ M.I.A
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
That an angry defense of immigrants and condemnation of American isolationism delivered in the satirically ironic style that is the current fashion has made MIA a crossover star and that has American frat boys signing along clocking and glocking their gains is the insult added to fame.
[The sample of the gun reloading and then the cash register ringing] was a joke, says MIA. "People don't really feel like immigrants or refugees contribute to culture in any way. That they're just leeches that suck from whatever. So in the song I say 'All I wanna do is [sound of gun shooting and reloading, cash register opening] and take your money.' I did it in sound effects. It's up to you how you want to interpret. America is so obsessed with money, I'm sure they'll get it."
I wouldn't count on it.

#5: Chicago ♦ Sufjan Stevens
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
Any song that can inspire this cynical 40 year old crank into walking shirtless into the pitch black night and gazing heavenward, arms outstretched, soaking in the pouring rain and having a really good cry, just because we all need a really good cry sometimes you know, has achieved… something.
The catharsis on demand that is the single Chicago is off the 2nd album in Stevens ridiculously ambitious 50 States project, in which he intends to write an album for every state in the nation. Stevens has recently backed away from such a promise after a year in South Dakota left him with crippled with writers block.
With Chicago, he gave us what feels like the Act 2 closer for a rock musical yet to be written. Shit, if Green Day can have a Broadway musical, Theatre lovers certainly deserve Stevens to join composers Leonard Bernstein, Andrew Lloyd Weber & Billy Jo Armstrong. My advice to SS: abandon the 50 states project and turn your attention to writing the next great American musical. Because if it is one thing the world needs more than shirtless 40-year-old men crying in the rain it is a great American musicals!!!!
Cuz America sure has made a lot of mistakes.
We've made a lot of mistakes.
We've made a lot of mistakes.
We've made a lot of mistakes.
We've made a lot of mistakes.
We've made a lot of mistakes.
And with catharsis, I'm told, comes healing.
#4: Walkie Talkie ♦ DJ Shadow
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
Being a Dadaist by profession, the artist Max Ernst said, was a contradiction in terms. There was no such thing as an unchanging state of revolution. And to put the spirit of Dada on exhibition, he continued, was no more than a weak illustration, like trying to capture the violence of an explosion by presenting the shrapnel.
Being a DJ is the musical equivalent of being a Dada artist. Working with found objects, collaborating across time and space with musicians you never met DJ Shadow plays above and around his trademark bass and drum sound and defies you not to groove to this shit.
Any number of tracks from Shadow's Private Press could have made this list, from him minimalist "Giving Up the Ghost" to his snarky and virtuosic " Monosyllabic", which constructs a 7 minute epic out of only a three second, two bar sample of an obscure song by getting gloriously lost inside myriad beat and tempo shifts, or even Shadow's nod at his Dada influence at the top of his road rage song "Mashin on the Motorway" which opens with the sample "He said you can call me Captain Dada, whatever that meant"
It is his disco thumping piece of braggadocio that is "Walkie Talkie" that is going to be featured on your next party list, I promise you.
Need a confidence boost? Interviewing for a new job in this suck ass economy? Trying to work up the courage to ask that girl out? Need a pep talk for the little guy, down on his luck, starring back at you in the mirror. Pop in some headphones, and capture the power of the exploding disco shrapnel that is Walkie Talkie, #4 on the No Cure For That top songs of the decade.
#3: Hey Ya! ♦ OutKast
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
Because, really, what is cooler than being cool? Andre 3000: a character in a band within a band (The Love Below), that pulls off a music video that takes the whole hip hop ethos of "playing a character" to a dizzying meta extreme while simultaneously riffing on the Beatles debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Andre 3000's performance art crossing over to mainstream overnight success was a decade in the making (indeed, he was singing about Bombs over Baghdad before the second Gulf War), but in the 30-second section of Hey Ya! – the breakdown and buildup to the Dionysian dance explosion delivered right after we are commanded to shake it like a you know what, how many phrases does Andre 3000 drop into the lexicon of popular usage?
I count, one: "What's cooler than being cool? Ice cold." Two: "Lend me sugar, I am your neighbor." And three: "Shake it like a Polaroid picture."
As far as pushing the boundaries of the English language forward, Shakespeare had less productive days that that.
#2: Bin Laden ♦ Immortal Technique (feat. Mos Def)
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
Lay down a catchy hook and people will sing along with just about anything. For evidence of this, a recent No Cure For That survey confirmed that 9 out of 10 children of the 80s will, when driving in a car whose radio alights upon Journey's "Separate Ways", obediently roll down the windows, turn up the volume and try to match Steve Perry's falsetto while playing air synthesizer: (Sings) Someday love will find you/ Break those chains that bind you/ One night will remind you/ How we touched/ And went our separate ways!
Every decade has its curse. My generation had mullets, Steve Perry and Iran Contra. Americans coming of age in the ought's have crocs, Lady Gaga & 9/11. One can only hope in 20 years, high school reunions will not be complete without a raucous sing along of Immortal Technique's & Mos Def's "Bin Laden". I mean, I don't know if, as Mos Def so seductively bites "Bush knocked down the towers." I know plenty of lies are told, and facts intentionally obscured. But what can a 3-minute song really do?
Get past the chorus and listen to Immortal Technique, and imagine the kind of cultural mind shift that would have to take place for this song to be a sing along ditty of future parties: And of course Saddam Hussein had chemical weapons/ We sold him that shit, after Ronald Reagan's election./ Mercenary contractors fightin' a new era/ Corporate military bankin' off the war on terror
Imagine a future where these are simple point of facts, rather than something we hide from, anesthetizing ourselves with trinkets from target and vacations by the shore, or breaking down the latest Tiger Woods scandal.
Or listen to Eminem, also featured on the track: I don't rap for dead presidents/ I'd rather see the president dead/ It's never been said but I set precedents.
Listen: Any historian will tell you that the world would have been a better place had George Bush been killed before the second invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq. Just as some cultural force or shadow government or roll of the dice conspired to bring us- in quick succession the political assassinations of JFK, Malcom X, Martin Luther King Jr, Robert F Kennedy, and just as certainly that resulting pall had the effect of the progressive movement collectively putting their tail between theirs legs for the last several decades while the Imperial reach of the United States Empire has extended its tentacles all over the world.
As the 21st century rolls on, is it not true that we could have imagined a better world if some cultural force or shadow government or roll of the dice existed and conspired to bring us, before the invasion and occupation of Iraq, the deaths of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Rice?
We need more catching hooks carrying all of the knowledge packed into tight 3 minute packages that Immortal Technique packs into his single "Bin Laden."
I'm just sayin.
#1: No Cars Go ♦ Arcade Fire
The Review: (listen & download this song now)
For me it was when I was about seventeen years old, a time on the cusp between childhood and manhood, when I had it. I suspect that I, like most, only realized that I had it once it was gone. It, was for me, the left over still not dead and buried wonder and awe struck way at looking at the world of a child combined with the potential to leave a mark on the world that comes with being an adult.
On Neon Bible, Arcade Fire's brilliant follow up to Funeral, Win Butler sings "I don't want to fight in a holy war, I don't want the salesman knocking at my door, I don't want to live in American no more."
Teenage rebellion sprinkled with the wisdom of an adult.
For those of us living in America, suffering from Lady Macbeth syndrome desperately trying to wash our hands of blood- out out damn spot- the lyrics are a punch to the gut.
And then comes the track No Cars Go to save the day. Promising to take us to a place where no planes go. Where no ships go.
Even Lady Macbeth knows that no matter what crimes we commit under the cover of night- a time must come to go to bed.
"What's done cannot be undone", Lady M councils her husband after they killed the King, holding onto her sanity by a thread, "To bed, to bed, to bed."
And Arcade Fire takes us, in a rollicking, defiant building swirl of drums and xylophone, and french horn and hurdy gurdy out the escape hatch- and flying! An out of body experience between the moment of sleep and waking where we are all invited- to the a remote renovated church in Quebec, a magical place where we are given back that moment in time when we were 17 and anything was possible. A moment between the click of the light and the start of the dream.

You can be certain that in the last days there will be some very hard times. People will love only themselves and money. They will be proud, stuck-up, rude, and disobedient to their parents. They will also be ungrateful, godless, heartless, and hateful. Their words will be cruel, and they will have no self-control or pity.
These people will hate everything good. They will be sneaky, reckless, and puffed up with pride. Instead of loving God, they will love pleasure. Even though they will make a show of being religious, their religion won't be real. Don't have anything to do with such people.
Some men fool whole families, just to get power over those women who are slaves of sin and are controlled by all sorts of desires. These women always want to learn something new, but they never can discover the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambrest opposed Moses, these people are enemies of the truth. Their minds are sick, and their faith isn't real. But they won't get very far with their foolishness. Soon everyone will know the truth about them, just as Jannes and Jambres were found out.
Timothy, you know what I teach and how I live. You know what I want to do and what I believe. You have seen how patient and loving I am, and how in the past I put up with trouble and suffering in the cities of Antioch, Iconium, and Lystra. Yet the Lord rescued me from all those terrible troubles. In fact, anyone who belongs to Christ Jesus and wants to live right will have trouble from others.
Keep on being faithful to what you were taught and to what you believed. After all, you know who taught you these things. Since childhood, you have known the Holy Scriptures that are able to make you wise enough to have faith in Christ Jesus and be saved. Everything in the Scriptures is God's Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live. The Scriptures train God's servants to do all kinds of good deeds.

Losing Lugar is a loss for our nation as well as the former GOP.
Richard Lugar's farewell speech exemplified the man and his work: a man of bold honesty undeterred by the assault from his own party; a dedicated public servant guided only by his moral principles.
Democrats may hope that a new party will be founded, one comprised of people like Lugar, who aspire to provide our democracy leadership, not tear apart our social fabric with extremist ideology.
Or perhaps, with only one party remaining that seeks the betterment of all Americans, we will ultimately restore the vision of our founders. Once again the highest honor this country can bestow, will be the citizenry electing men and women to represent them, rather than those beholden to the dubious whims of a political party.

What could be more green than applying plant fibers to your wall? If you're looking for an unconventional and eco-friendly wallcovering, grasscloth might just be the way to go.
Now, before we scare you off (you're thinking of the straw on the walls episode of "Trading Spaces," aren't you?), take a deep breath. Sure, it's made of dried, woven plant fibers that are applied to a backing.
But like other natural fibers, the appearance of grasscloth can be drastically changed depending on how it's treated. Lighter hues are achieved by bleaching the fibers in the sun, and some designers opt to dye the fibers to create a vivid range of hues.
You'll typically find grasscloth made from bamboo, jute, rush and sisal, to name a few. And in addition to the distinctive look you'll achieve with grasscloth, the material has also been known to act as a sound barrier when applied in a thick layer.
Grasscloth is installed much like wallpaper. You'll apply the material in strips onto a layer of adhesive that you've coated on the wall. Don't cut the strips too thin, however — otherwise you'll end up with a paneled effect.
A tip? Grasscloth is best installed in a room that stays dry. If you need to wash the trim or ceiling around the grasscloth, do so carefully so that no excess moisture drips into the fibers.
What's your take on grasscloth?

A staff member is recovering after being assaulted by an inmate at the Jameson Annex to the South Dakota State Penitentiary.
The incident happened shortly after 8 p.m. on Saturday, April 20. Corporal Zane Mathis was punched repeatedly in the head by Inmate Carlos Green. Mathis was transported to a Sioux Falls hospital for treatment after he suffered a fractured jaw and facial lacerations.
Green, 28, was handcuffed and locked up in the disciplinary section of the prison. The Jameson Annex was locked down for precautionary reasons the remainder of the evening. It was lifted on Sunday, April 21 and the prison is fully operational.
Green is currently serving a 35 year sentence for aggravated assault, a consecutive five year sentence for eluding a police officer and a consecutive two year for sliming. All of the sentences are from Brown County.
The Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating the assault.

Our weird weather reminds me of that classic Twilight Zone episode in which people go mad with heat fever as the sun grows ever closer to earth. Then, the main character -- a lovely blond -- wakes from the nightmare only to find that the whole world is actually freezing, as the globe orbits further and further from its source.
That's what it's getting to be like around here: six months of hail and humidity and six months of shivering winter. Even our usually balmy autumns have been defiled by cold rain and smeared by snowfalls.
The sad thing is that we could do something about global warming, which is largely caused by carbon dioxide and methane fumes rising into the atmosphere. While the rest of the world puts their heads together to solve this threat to Mother Earth, the Bush administration doggedly refuses to acknowledge that global warming exists. We're too busy fighting wars in faraway deserts.
It's plenty hot over there too!
I'm not much of an environmentalist but I'm a realist.
The summer we're suffering should be enough to convince us all about the existence of global warming. And I'm afraid these thunderstruck days and superhumid nights merely represent the tip of the iceberg (to wistfully and wishfully mix metaphors).
Although there've been a few sunny days with reasonable temperatures, most are either too hot to breathe or too wet to walk. They're either shirt-soaked sweltering or filled with booming thunder, frightening lightning, enough rain to fill catchbasins and basements and winds strong enough to knock over trees and knock out power.
Woe is me when I can't watch my Yankees on TV!
Sure, we're used to bad weather in Upstate New York but this is ridiculous.
I used to mock the concept of Seasonal Affective Disorder -- depression caused by lack of sunlight and gloomy weather -- but now I'm beginning to believe it. In fact, I'm very SAD indeed.

Congratulations to Gov. Walker endorsing "THE CONFLUENCE PROJECT". WE value his support for progress. He said it now has his full support. I watched the Eau Claire City Council meeting Monday night with great interest and was glad to see the public was able to speak about Economic Development. Interesting that having attended several Council meetings, it appears it's always the same group standing against PROGRESS. The same ones who have, on numerous occasions, called me a newcomer to E.C. {38+ years} and I should go back to Chicago. Well, I am not going anywhere and continue to support PROGRESS and CONFLUENCE. The UW Regents will review it in August. Vetting CONFLUENCE is continuing.

Take a passion for barbeque, the skill to make it, add a cozy café and you have BeameupBBQ & Café. Tucked away at 411 Lime Kiln Road in Lexington, this eatery sits beside a small stream with blooming flowers scattered about. This seemingly small building is roomy inside with a clean and sparsely decorated interior. There is a ramp entrance on the left of the building. The menu boards are by the counter where you order. Specials are listed and were priced from $4.95 to $7.95. Although this café will definitely please meat eaters, there are fresh, homegrown veggies served for the non-carnivore.
BeameupBBQ offers beef, chicken, pork, turkey and more. The smoker even has a name, Old Hickory. Smoked meats are served as sandwiches, wraps or on the plate with your sides of cole slaw, barbecue beans and others. Menu items change and fly out the door as soon as they are made. I went at the end of the day and missed getting my own rack of ribs by one order. Pricing for the ribs was a half rack for $12 and $14 with two sides. The full rack is $23, or $24 with two sides. According to its website, prices will fluctuate from time to time. Thank goodness that I knew someone eating there and was able to take a taste of their rack of ribs. The ribs had a dry rub on them but weren't overly spiced. The ribs could have been more tender, but they were tasty and had a wonderful smoky flavor.
Obviously time is a factor in getting the smoked meats at Beameup. Because it was later in the day and the ribs were gone, I had the opportunity to try the chicken leg quarters ($6.95). The quarters were tender, fall-apart wonderful and the skin had a great char on it. I wasn't necessarily a fan of the baked beans but loved the homegrown green beans. The pulled pork sandwich ($5.95) was stuffed full of juicy, tender pork. Tea ($1.50) is offered but it's unsweetened so the southern sweet tea lovers will have to stir in their own sugar or go with a soda.
Desserts go as fast as the barbeque does. I was lucky to get a piece of peanut butter pie. It was a good version that had a cream cheese and peanut butter type filling on a cookie crust and did satisfy my craving for a little something sweet. It was shared. There are many positives about Beameup. It's a cute and clean café, the staff is nice and the food is tasty. The downside is that if you don't hit it at the right time or call ahead, you could miss out on some slammin' barbecue, smoked meats and the homegrown vegetable sides. So the saying, "When pigs fly," should really be about what happens when the pork barbecue (and ribs) come out of Old Hickory and goes wee wee wee all the way home.
