Value who you are
EDITOR: The Jan. 27 article titled "The question of race" disturbed me. I am bi-racial. My mother is Japanese and was born and raised there. My father was of German and Dutch descent and born and raised here. The comment about traditional racial characteristics being diluted due to bi-racial and multiracial marriages is extremely bothersome. People should be together because they want to be, not because they should be preserving racial characteristics.
I understand that Latinos may face a dilemma. If I were them, I would mark "other" on a census form and put in bold letters whatever they identify with that is what I do.
In closing, I want to say that it's important that families share their heritage and traditions with their children and be proud of who they are. My children adore their Japanese grandma and call her "Grandma Takemoto." I commend Michelle Farkas for sharing her Mexican heritage with her son.

Women passed over
EDITOR: Every January for the past four or five years, I have written to the newspaper to ask why so few women are included in the year-end "They made their mark" feature ("Noteworthy passings," Dec. 30). Writing this letter has become a holiday tradition, but not one I enjoy.
Sonoma County is packed with dynamic, powerful, compassionate, resourceful and unforgettable women who lead, govern and inspire us all.
Yet, this year, out of nine "lost leading voices" of Sonoma County, only one was a woman, and she made her mark when she was three years old and survived the 1906 earthquake.

I made these to go along with a pork loin I had cooked for something different....I doubled the recipe and added some fresh rosemary to it while it was reducing along with some chili flakes....I also tossed the sweet potatoes with olive oil and cinnamon before I tossed in the marinade...Boyfriend loved them and made the comment that would be good with any type of winter squash, pumpkin or carrots.
These were great and easy! I used the leftovers the next day in a winter veggie taco with sautéed leeks, poblano peppers, collard greens, and black peppers. Yum!
I made this exactly as written and, honestly, was disappointed in the results. It wasn't any better than roasting sweet potatoes in a bit of olive oil, but had a whole lot more fat and calories. Won't bother with it again.
The dish came out absolutely delicious, and was the star of the Thanksgiving meal! I added a little tad of water and some olive oil so that the oven wouldn't burn them. The only issue was that they were sharing the oven with the turkey, so the cooking time was lengthened because of the lower temperature. I had them in there for over an hour at 350. When the turkey was finally removed, I raised the heat for another 20 minutes and covered them with foil for the final 10. Delish!
I made this for Thanksgiving and was banned by the family of ever bringing the yams again! So, I fixed this again for an adult dinner party and added a little more brown sugar, some cinnamon, allspice and cloves and 1/2 can of cubed pineapple and half the juice from the can. I also cooked this in my electric skillet on low rather than the oven. I received rave reviews and will make this again.
Meh, I was not impressed with these sweet potatoes. I did double the sauce recipe and added ground ginger, allspice, and cinnamon as well as use about half the butter per recommendations of other reviewers. I found these to be a bit dry and it's impossible to prevent the sauce from burning and drying up. Won't make again.
My family BEGS me to make these. Popular for thanksgiving or anytime.
I added thyme to the balsamic while it was reducing, added a nice flavor tot he dish.
This recipe is easy and delicious! I substituted half the butter for vegetable oil, and it turned out great. We had it with meatloaf and a green salad--a perfect cold-weather meal.
This was a hit with the family for Thanksgiving, even with picky kids and those that typically prefer family recipes - super easy. I reduced the amount of butter to 1 T, was definitely enough.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 22.214.171.124

So, why a new search engine? Why the new name? Why now?
We took a new approach to go beyond search to build what we call a decision engine. With a powerful set of intuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will help you make smarter, faster decisions. We included features that deliver the best results, presented in a more organized way to simplify key tasks and help you make important decisions faster.
And features like cashback, where we actually give you money back on great products, and Price Predictor, which actually tells you when to buy an airline ticket in order to help get you the best price – help you make smarter decisions, and put money back in your pocket.
I'm sure we'll all 'bing' it next week.
Can anyone explain why?
With a powerful set of intuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will help you make smarter, faster decisions.
I thought decisions were left for the realm of humans and their superior intelligence. If MS has developed a software that can make decisions for us, they have either
a) cracked the holly grail of AI (which all of MIT failed to do for now)
b) have had help from MS's CEO from 2158 who used a time-warp-whole to travel back to our time and save MS from bankruptcy.
c) have had help from Cyberdine, which is soon about to engage humanity in a struggle for survival
Anyways, enough with the irony: IMHO this is just a search engine (probably live.com) repackaged with some extra tools, that G probably has had for 2 years or more ;)
its going to have 2 buttons like google
Google Has "Google Search" "Im feeling Lucky"
Bing will have "BadaBing" "BadaBoom"
for the commercial on TV they can hire me ill say
"I type in what im looking for in this box and push this button.. Badabing. BadaBoom its right in front of me"
This is exactly what I was complaining would happen with Google and the Micro Formats and Rich Snippets.
Bing has already taken it to the next level according to the video, bringing all that information forward bypassing the individual sites, and it'll be interesting to see how long before mashups of this level either a) destroy the very infrastructure they're utilizing or b) cause a massive backlash against crawlers.
While potentially useful for customers, it could also be a sticking point among those whose content it is borrowing from so liberally. Product searches, for example, aggregate both user and professional reviews from various sites directly within the Bing result.
"I don't think we are trying to do something unnatural to have the person stay within the site," (Microsoft's) Brian MacDonald said, adding that in the end the company thinks it will drive more people to the pages it is indexing.
My analysis of this analysis: horse-hockey.
This concept is the shotgun approach. They really cannot figure out what the user is looking for so they're going to throw everything at them (including the kitchen sink) and hope they score.
This is great news for Google and Yahoo, but continues the downward spiral for MS in the search space.
And wait until they discover that this concept is going to cost them a fortune. With such a busy screen, how is anyone going to find ads?
My take: since Bing offers nothing new (it seems to be a mash of existing services) it's purpose is to BECOME the affiliate instead of linking to affiliate sites.
Bing is a merge of affiliate site and regular search... I don't see this working well.
With such a busy screen, how is anyone going to find ads?
It seems MSN is turning away from display advertising and into affiliate earnings. As I said above, watch the video to see what happens when someone types in "Digital Cameras"... it looked like a page right out of a flyer. Yahoo! is an EPN affiliate now too (on their updated template that not everyone sees)... I see a move away from display advertising right into affiliate income.
edit: Further inspection of the video has me considering keeping MSN the heck away from my content, since it would be used to drive people to their affiliate links instead of mine. Have they thought this through?
Apparently not, 100 camera shops trying to sell the same camera make for the least credible bunch and Bing seems to cut out it's competitors, aka the sites that have people who think running them.
You know what's REALLY funny? We've all been building sites and trying to add additional value to the affiliate portions of those sites so as not to be considered a thin affiliate to search engines... and here comes a search engine that will throw pure affiliate content at visitors. I'm highly not impressed by some parts of that video.
[edited by: JS_Harris at 3:10 am (utc) on May 29, 2009]
Exactly. I'm guessing all the deals have been thrasheed out already. If not, and I owned one, I'd be on the phone to my Microsoft Search Accountant to setup a meeting.
This is like the stuff Google has been showing off in their labs. Collecting data from lots of sources and presenting it to the users. If it takes off affiliates will pretty much get cut out of the equation as MS will go direct to the publisher. Still early days..it ain't even launched yet!
Offering cash backs has proven to attract a most unsavory sort on other sites, I wonder how Bing will handle the abuse. I'm most interested in seeing how bing will handle being their own island in terms of being a source of answers about products while not providing visitors with access to other sites who perform real product reviews.
Mashing reviews together from all over the web... lovely.
Further inspection of the video has me considering keeping MSN the heck away from my content, since it would be used to drive people to their affiliate links instead of mine. Have they thought this through?
They are going after "health" in a big way, which is wise. I think Bing could also be especially compelling in what I call the "geo" market. That is, searches that has to do with a place. Daily newspaper web sites should be concerned about this. Yahoo and Google have strong relationships with the newspapers in most markets, which means that MS is going to show no mercy. This is a smart move on the part of MS.
Everyone talks about how the search results need to be useful. True. They also need to be "compelling." They need to leave you with a positive feeling. I don't get that on Ask.com or Live. Yahoo and Google do that right. I think Bing understands this, from what we have seen so far.
Interesting we're not seeing the usual, "Yea, we need a search alternative to Google" postings here that we usually get when we have news about Ask or some other alternative search engine.

Arizona Politics for Conservatives: Sonoran Alliance
Arizona Politics, News, Commentary and Information with a Blatantly Conservative Worldview Presented by an Alliance of Writers, Activists, Consultants and Government Insiders.
The only election fraud that I am aware of happened right here in Maricopa county. The elections department put a wrong date for the general election on material in Spanish mailed to Spanish speaking voters. It's impossible to make an error of that magnitude, in a well run elections department, because of the checks that this type of material has to go through, before it is sent out. Therefore, it has to be fraud. Who is investigating this matter? Nobody, because it was aimed squarely by the republican party at disenfranchising democratic voters.
Honestly, there shouldn't still be any "general election material in Spanish." How is it that in 2012, a state that spends well over 50% of its budget on "education," still has adult citizens who can't speak English??? What a way to waste money and introduce errors, this story was case in point. Let the VRA die a natural death already.
You lost.
It happens.
Grow up.
Get over it.
Work towards 2014 and 2016.
Quit crying and get on.
We didn't lose, the Dems stole this election. If this ineligible Muslim communist and his minions remain in power, what do you think will be left standing by 2014 and 2016, eh?
The margin of victory is nearing 5,000,000 votes.
You lost.
I experienced fraud while voting early here in Columbus Ohio. The person working at the poll absolutely refused my identification. I attempted three times to hand her papers until she raised her voice and said, "You can just put all that down because I am not going to look at it",
And Jeff, I can accept losing if the playing field is fair. Yes, I probably did grow up in a different era than you. "Grow up. Get over it" wasn't something we heard after a Presidential election. Maybe the best man, in our view, didn't always win, but HOW he won, we knew. He was fairly elected by the people. Am I working toward 2014 and 2016? Politically, economically, spiritually and morally our country is in such a state that neither you nor I can do anything to prevent what is about to happen or to change what has already happened. I believe this past 'election' was the last election we will see. So, the best way I feel we can work toward the future is to prepare our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren for this "new world" the so called "leaders", with no shame, have forced upon them, These "elected" officials have taken our once free, united, strong, wonderful, admired America from them. The tears I cry are for my children, and looking into their darling faces and trusting eyes, my grandchildren and great grandchildren. We all need to pray and prepare.
Did you call the local party and tell them? I'm sure a lawyer for the party would have accompanied you to the polling place and demand that you vote.
Well, gosh, since it's all over why bother sweating it?
You can view and sign the petition here:
Here's some more information about this petition:
A Criminal Investigation of the VOTE FRAUD committed by the
Republican and Democratic parties during the 2012 election.
The American Citizens have witnessed election fraud being committed across
the nation by both the Republican and Democratic parties throughout the
entire presidential election process thereby rendering this election invalid
and subject to suspension until a thorough investigation is conducted. As it
is, there is no way to determine the validity of the vote count. The
integrity of the election process must be restored to an honest and
transparent procedure of mandetory ID's, paper ballots, hand counts in
public at the precincts before the ballots are whisked off and the chain of
custody is broken and and ballot verification is contaminated.
Please sign this petition to restore the Integrity of our election process.
That is exactly why i will not sign a petition, you want my personal info, then I get emails from you i do not want, and you give my address to any site you think is like minded. No, I will not create a profile or an account.

text: Tech Billionaire Buys Most of Hawaiian Island Larry Ellison buys sixth-largest island for undisclosed sum By Mary Papenfuss, Newser Staff Posted Jun 21, 2012 12:29 AM CDT | Updated Jun 21, 2012 7:45 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (25) (Newser) – Oracle CEO Larry Ellison has picked up a sweet vacation spot: 98% of the Hawaiian island of Lanai. It's not clear what he paid for the 141-square-mile isle, but it was offered for sale for up to $600 million by Castle & Cooke, a company owned by billionaire David Murdock. "We look forward to welcoming Mr. Ellison in the near future," said Hawaiian Gov. Neil Abercrombie. "His passion for nature, particularly the ocean, is well known, specifically in the realm of America's Cup sailing." Some 2,000 residents live on Lanai, Hawaii's sixth-largest island. "It's a major trophy for billionaires to say I own one of the eight major Hawaiian Islands," State Senator J. Kelani English tells KGMB-TV. Murdock, who bought Castle & Cooke for close to $700 million in 2000, shut down most of the pineapple operations on Lanai to prepare for resort development. Some 26,000 tourists visit the island, which has two resort hotels, two championship golf courses, residential developments, and a solar farm, all of which Ellison will own. Other individuals own the 2% of the land that Ellison isn't buying. It's not yet known what the Oracle billionaire plans to do with his acquisition. Murdock, who built a home on the island, will continue to be a sometime resident, and is retaining rights to develop a local wind farm. Larry Ellison: Hawaii, here I come.

Dear Dr. Marcia,
I am divorced, in my late 40s and have been on the Internet dating sites. I have met some nice men as well as some jerks.
Some of my lady friends and I enjoy going to places that have dancing. I have been divorced for nine years and have dated quite a bit since then. I am happy with my life. I have a good job I like and great relationships with my grown kids. I do not just go out with anyone who asks me, as some of my friends do, just to have a date or go someplace nice for dinner.
Last week when I was out with the ladies, a man asked me to dance. I had seen him earlier, and there was no attraction whatsoever. So I politely said, "No thank you."
My friends thought I was awful. One of them said it was rude of me to do, and another said I would have felt horrible if that happened to me. I disagreed, but they made me feel so bad, I thought about it most of the next day.
I never felt like I had to dance with anyone who asked me, but they made me question that. I also felt like they were judging me even though I never say anything about what they do.
I've always thought that I was being honest because I know if I asked someone, and they said yes, I would think they were attracted to me. I also know if I was attracted to someone and asked them to dance, and they said no, I might initially be disappointed, but I would be more disappointed if they said yes, then thought they liked me, then feel worse later if they did not ask me again, or if they did not ask for my number later. Was I wrong?
Dear True,
I might have thought you and the ladies were at a high school dance had not read the first line of your letter!
You were polite in your refusal. While it is only a dance - not a marriage proposal - I do not see anything wrong with keeping your "standards" and not saying yes to anyone who asks you to dance or asks you out.
If your friends want to dance the night away with everyone that asks them, that is their choice, and you choosing not to do so is yours - so they should not have judged you that way.
Why are you allowing them to cause you to second-guess yourself? Even if they wound up dancing more than you that evening, and you were all right with the fact that you didn't, there is nothing wrong with that. In fact - quite the opposite.
Everyone has their own standards they follow, and you should not feel bad about following yours - especially since it sounds like you are much less needy than some of your friends!

Highest Paid TV Stars: Who Makes What?Carissa Pavlica at . Updated at . Comments
We have compiled the highest paid TV stars for 2014. Take a look now.
1. Tatiana Maslany
2. Keri Russell
3. Jane Lynch, Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele
4. Peter Dinklage
5. Kerry Washington
6. James Spader
Wait! There's more Highest Paid TV Stars: Who Makes What?! Just click "Next" below:Next
Tatiana deserves more than that. A LOT more!!
Tatiana Maslany plays 7 different characters and gets paid less an episode than the cast of the Big Bang Theory and other shows where people play 1 character....that is insane
It has nothing to do with her work load it has all to do with how muhc revenue the show generates. It it had ot do with work load Tatiana and Lea Michele would proalby be the two highest paid stars on tv. Tatiana leading her show with multiple characters and Lea Michele leading her show with multiply duties as actor, singer and dancer.
Totally Agree! Can't believe she earns the least on this list. She should earn more than anyone!
Yeah, and to be honest, Kaley Cuoco can't act.

Asking me to choose two favorite Buddy Holly songs is like asking a two-year old to sit still for five minutes, but I've tried my darndest:
|Photo via The Beatles Rarity
Good choices! Thanks for giving me such a delightful start to my day!
Good choices indeed! I was just reading an article about Bob Dylan. Bob saw Buddy in Minnesota only about a week before the plane went down. It's one of his most treasured memories.
Thanks, Ruth and JZ. I love the song "Everyday"--it's so hopeful and uplifting.
Count me in as a lover of Everyday. I have it on 45 somewhere (was in Stand by Me or another 80s movie?).
When I saw Buddy Holly's name that song instantly popped up in my head. I hadn't heard it in ages, so I sad down to play your clip. Thank you for posting. That is such an amazing song.

John H. Blaffer Lecture Series
Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
Date: 12/10/13, 4pm to 5pm
Time: 12/10/13, 4pm to 5pm
Location: Onstead Auditorium, Basic Science Research Building, Floor 3, near Elevator J, (S3.8012)
Format: Lecture
Facilitator: Nicholas Navin
Speaker: Catherine Dulac
Speaker Bio: Our group is exploring the molecular architecture of neuronal circuits underlying sex- and species-specific social behaviors. In one set of projects we are taking advantage of the molecular and genetic accessibility of the mouse olfactory system to investigate the neuronal logic underlying odorant- and pheromone-mediated signals: what are the basic principles of neuronal circuit function that enable an animal to identify a predator, a potential mate, or a conspecific intruder? Why are males, females and juveniles responding differently to a given chemosensory signal? We are also interested in the developmental processes that ensure appropriate neuronal function of brain centers involved in social behaviors

Comments, questions and tips
After reading the comments I also added garlic and a yellow pepper that was in danger of going off. Didn't have any fresh basil, my plant had died when away on holiday, so added some basil from a tube ( shock horror) ! Also roasted the Aubergines first. The result. - absolutely DELICIOUS ! Will definitely make again.
nice and simple pasta, also very filling. I salted the aubergine before to drain excess fluid and then put in the grill pan. I also addes two whole garlic cloves that I later on took out and I added pine nuts. I think this is a nice basic recipe that ou can easily things to that you like making it a bit more special
had this for lunch today. Tomatoes season has already arrived in Malta so used fresh ones instead of tinned. Also added some fresh marjoram from the garden and some chilli. Used feta cheese instead of goat's cheese cos that's what i had in the fridge. I also agree that 5mins to cook the aubergines is not enough. it takes more like 15mins at least! On the whole a very yummy dish though.
I cooked the aubergine in the oven for 10 mins, bit of olive oil and lots of seasoning.
Didn't have tinned toms so used fresh, cut up small with garlic and the sugar. Cooked at the same time as the aubergine. I agree you need the sugar. Put in some tinned mackerel as always looking for hiding oily fish as my other half can't stand it, but I think it's important! Then added the cooked aubergine. 5 more mins the added the cheese.
It's magic once you add the goats cheese, really creamy. Had it with wholemeal spaghetti.

Colin Powell, the retired Army general who served as secretary of state for one Republican president and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff for another, explains his endorsement of President Barack Obama in one of a series of election-closing ads.
"When he took over, we were in one of the worst recessions we had seen in recent times, close to a Depression," Powell is shown saying in a CBS "This Morning" interview in which he voiced his support for Obama this year — as he had during the 2008 election.
"And I saw over the next several years stabilization come back in the financial community," Powell says. "Housing is starting to pick up. The president saved the auto industry. And the acts that he has taken with respect to protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid. And, so I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on."
Endorsements in and of themselves may not carry an impact. But the message of Powell's endorsement — the turning of an economic corner, the saving of the auto industry — is the same one that former President Bill Clinton has been expressing in his campaign ads and appearances for Obama's re-election.

'Pot Of Gold' rapper The Game believes Chris Brown is a changed man, claiming the singer will never repeat an attack on rumoured girlfriend Rihanna, following his 2009 assault on the singer when they were dating.
Chris ruined his career three years ago when he brutally assaulted Rihanna during an argument the night before the Grammy Awards, leading to a conviction for domestic battery and community service.
The Game believes Chris Brown is a changed man (WENN)
While the public remain sceptical about Chris as a result of his actions - and his alleged reunion with Rihanna - one person standing by him is his friend The Game, who appears to confirm the pair are back together.
"[Chris Brown] is like a little brother of mine. I did the best that I could to counsel his through that, and I feel like he made it back okay," The Game told Howard Stern on Sirius XM.
"And you know, they're back together, and what I thought of it, I just figured that they were young and that was just one of those Hollywood mishaps."
The Game says Chris Brown and Rihanna are back together (WENN)
"I don't think it'll happen again... he has changed, but I'm not him, so I can't speak for him."
When asked how he would react if it was his daughter that Chris attacked, The Game replied: "Eh, let's not paint that picture... you're trying to get me to [say that I'd] kill Chris Brown, man."

Blake Mire, Prejean's son, was one of nearly 260 cadets from the Louisiana National Guard's Youth Challenge Program who participated in a pass-in-review ceremony at Camp Beauregard Sunday morning.

Great blinds, if correct valance bracket is there
By Ron,
from San Rafael, CA
As a property manager order many blinds for a variety of projects. Recent order noticed the 'normal' valance bracket that comes with the imitation wood blinds was not included, but a smaller size that won't work with the one's I always order and received. Since the tenant was moving in the next day had to jury-rig a fix. A little more attention to packaging the correct brackets with the size valance shipped would be helpful. Other than that very pleased with all shipments, quality, etc.
Great Product

I normally got 1" mini blinds but I decided to go for a different "retro look" in the kitchen area. I am very glad I did! These 2" faux wood blinds are very durable and extremely easy to install. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Good product
By JimBob
from Sebring, FL
on time delivery, well packaged and marked.Measurement is key and I came up about an inch short on three of my blinds so they do not hang perfectly - better a little long than too short and - if I had it to do over I'd get the blinds with holes in the slats for the cord - I think the slats would stay better aligned.

Amazing Blinds!
By Satisfied Customer
from Louisiana
I am a first time home buyer on a tight budget and came across Steve's Blinds' website. The prices can't be beat as well as the product and service! The blinds look very expensive but I didn't have to break my budget to get the look I wanted. I love the fact that everything is Made In the USA! Steve's also stands behind their product. I had one valance come in with black marker on it and with just one simple phone call, another one is on its way. Thank you for making ordering so easy. I highly suggest using the worksheet in their website. Good way to keep things in order. The blinds were special ordered and I received them in 6 days (to include weekend time). Great turn around.
Nice blinds, exceptional service
By Stat2c
from Monterey, CA
These are beautiful blinds, and Steve's price is amazing for blinds of this quality. Even more remarkable, though, is Steve's customer service. I had placed an order requesting an very unusual combination of mounting/valance types and sizes for several very large windows. Because the order was atypical the manufacturer misunderstood the specifications and sent blinds and valances that were improperly sized for my windows. But all it took was one phone call to Steve's to get a new set of blinds manufactured and delivered. The customer service representative was wonderful, and my new blinds arrived within a few days. This time, the blinds and valances were all perfect. I'll never shop anywhere else for blinds! Thank you, Steve's, for making the whole process so easy and pleasant.

we could not install the valance with the clips that were provided. when I called for assistance, I was asked to send a picture? Not sure how to send a picture of something that doesnt work... we ended up buying velcro strips from the store to do the install. I rated you guys excellent in spite of that little blip!

Quality at a great price!
By Happy Customer..
from Wisconsin
I purchased 2 custom cut blinds for my kitchen windows and another for the livingroom window. The livingroom blinds were for 3 separate blinds on one header. I was a little concerned after ordering that the livingroom blinds would come not fitting right because of the 3 different windows on one header. No worrying was necessary. They ALL fit perfectly!! I was very happy with my whole experience with Steve's Blinds beginning with the easy online ordering process down to the finished product. The price was the lowest I found while the quality was the best.
Received exactly as promised

We already knew Xiaomi had scored $90 million RMB in new financing — they announced that at their press conference with China Unicom on Tuesday — but Lei Jun has now revealed on Weibo where at least some of that money came from: DST founder Yuri Milner.
DST is an investment company, and its name draws a fair amount of attention because it has made some very smart bets in tech companies over the years, including Facebook, Zynga, Twitter, Spotify, and 360Buy. There are also rumors the company continues to flirt with Sina Weibo, although given the regulatory changes going into effect there that might be less of a sure thing. In any event, the Xiaomi investment was made personally by Mr. Milner, not by DST.
In other Xiaomi news, we've received some clarifications from the company in response to our questions about their cooperation with China Unicom. According to a Xiaomi rep, the China Unicom phones are the same as the phones Xiaomi sells on their site, the only differences being the addition of Unicom's "Wo" branding and pre-installed content (and, of course, the 700 RMB markup). Xiaomi also told us the phones were available in Unicom stores in major cities starting Tuesday afternoon. However, I was in a Unicom shop in Beijing on Wednesday and saw no signs of Xiaomi's handset, nor any kind of advertisement for the phone, so it's still not as easy to get a hold of a Xiaomi as you might hope.
Still, the immediate availability of millions of Xiaomi phones via China Unicom probably does explain how the company managed to run out of the things so quickly on its own website.

Ziggy Marley's 'Wild and Free Singles'
As the oldest son of the legendary Bob Marley wrote:
"My friends I want to announce the launch of the wild and free singles. It's hard not to make music and since I happen to be in the studio I thought why not make some songs in between albums. So I decided to record a collection of singles which means one song at a time and call it the wild and free singles because they are just that, wild and free. I'll put them out as they come you can't control these things you know. Please feel free to send your family and friends to the sites to get the songs as they come out or share them out yourself. It's going to be a lot of fun doing these songs for you. Share and enjoy. Wild and free. love ziggy."The first song in the series, Africa Land, was inspired by last summer's World Cup festivities in South Africa and features brother Stephen Marley. The second single to follow is A Fire Burns for Freedom. A pro-hemp/marijuana anthem, Ziggy Marley sings of what he sees as the plant's positive multipurpose uses. In an accompanying interview on YouTube, the reggae musician explained prior to Proposition 19's reckoning day at the ballot how the appraisal of marijuana and the move to legalize it should be much more expansive in its vision.
A Fire Burns for Freedom as well as Africa Land are available for download at Ziggy Marley's official website. Keep it posted there for future tracks to come in the "Wild and Free" recession proof series!

Trustworthy reviews are our priority. Businesses can't pay to change or remove reviews.
We loved having Rev Bob officiate at our wedding. When we saw that he had gotten married at the same place where we wanted to get married, we felt like it was fate. He had many different options for the wording for our wedding. And even though we emailed him our choices the day before the wedding, and even though we added a poem that was not even on his options, he was totally accommodating. Everyone at our small wedding loved him.
Incredibly friendly and helpful, worked with us both really well with his flexibility and ceremony options to make our day perfect
Rev. Bob was a pleasure to work with. He was responsive to our needs and knew exactly what he was doing. We worked out most of the details through email and phone calls so it was a very easy process. I never felt worried about anything and appreciated his flexibility in personalizing our ceremony.
Rev. Bob was just great! He was very quick to respond. He really personalized the ceremony for us. I would greatly recommend him to everyone! He is truly a wonderful officiant. If you don't book him, you are making a mistake!
Bob is wonderful. I just met him at my best friend's wedding in March of 2013 where he was kind, responsive, and general just a great guy. I didn't want to copy my friend's wedding so I looked around and well... I wasn't happy. I talked to a man who looked, and sounded, like a used car salesman. Not who you want to marry you on your special day. After he was recommended by our venue (not the same as my best friends), I knew we had to go with him. I am so glad I did. He was priced extremely reasonably and was always super patient. The day of, I was running a little late and he had no problem waiting patiently until I was ready. He mailed out our wedding license with no issues promptly and always responded to our emails quickly. He was not opposed to phone calls for any questions we had and I would recommend him to anyone looking for an officiant on their special day.
Rev. Bob was amazing! He is so personable and professional. He made myself and my family feel like we were the most important people in the world. My grandfather, who has passed, was a minister and he would be proud that Rev. Bob married myself and my husband. Rev. Bob was outstanding!!!
We found Rev. Bob through online research and he had the best prices for a beach wedding. I didn't know what to expect when researching for an officiant, but they can get super expensive. After meeting with him for a quick meeting it almost seemed to good to be true! He was extremely friendly, professional and already had various samples of what our ceremony could look like- all before even booking anything with him. With additional costs, he even got our marriage license for us. Which believe me, was a blessing in itself! The day of the wedding went smoothly and he was even able to make slight adjustments we needed that day for our ceremony.Thank you Rev. Bob for helping us out to make our day perfect!
What a great human being! Customizes your wedding with great detail and flexibility. Very professional and accurate. You will not go wrong booking Rev. Bob Schneider. He is a top choice for weddings. He really understands what the couples need. Thank you Reverend for doing so much for us and helping us out with your flexibility and understanding. You are great!
-Anita & Rob Littlemore
Rev Schneider is fantastic! Very knowledgable and flexible. Answered all our questions regarding marriage licenses. Thank you so much for officiating our wedding!
Rev. Bob was such a pleasure to work with. He always responded to any of my calls or emails so quickly. He is an extremely professional and kind man. He met with us and was very flexible and accommodated all of our requests. The end result was everything we asked for/wanted. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful! It was more than I could've hooped for. I loved everything about it and all of his suggestions. I love the fact that we had copies of the ceremony in advance. It was so pretty I read it several times prior to our day and it made me tear up every time. He also took care of the wedding license for us which was a big time saver. The groom and I were very happy to have one less thing to worry about. He is the best! If you're trying to pick an officiant for your day...pick him!
I would recommend Bob Schneider to anyone looking to hire an affordable and straight forward officiant. Bob was great. He was really helpful in planning our ceremony. He provided some examples of ceremony breakdowns as well as some of the dialogue and we ended up using some of it. He was available for any questions we had and we felt very confident in his services. On the wedding day he was great. When he delivered the ceremony he exuded warmth while also carrying himself with a strong presence. We were able to wrap up the marriage license before the ceremony which left us time to do all the photos afterwards. He's a great choice if you want someone who is nice and dependable but also affordable - like his business name suggests.
We chose Rev. Bob, based on all the positive reviews here. I emailed Bob and we went back and forth for a bit and after seeing a couple of the videos he worked in, we decided he was the man for the job. He was super responsive and made the process very easy. We talked the week of the wedding and he wanted to know if there were any changes, if we were religious, and what we wanted him to wear when he officiated. He showed up about an hour before and was just chilling, talking to everyone like he was one of the guys. When it was showtime he was as professional as it gets. He made sure to stop by at the end for a photo op and to wish us good luck.
Rev. Bob was the perfect Officiant for our ceremony! He was responsive through the planning process, and prompt, sweet, and funny on the day of the wedding. Rev. Bob is well spoken and professional. I will ABSOLUTELY recommend him to friends and family!!
We had nothing but the best experience with Rev Bob as our officiant for our wedding. From our first meeting with him, he was very professional, experienced, and a very likable person. He made every step of the process very clear and hiring him to officiate our wedding really was the easiest part of the planning! I was initially a little hesitant because he had another wedding to officiate on our wedding day a couple hours before ours and I was afraid there would be a chance he would be late to ours, but he came to ours exactly when he said he would, and the ceremony went smoothly. I would definitely recommend him to my friends!
Mark and I were very very happy and satisfied with Rev Bob Schneider and the services he provided for our wedding ceremony. He is an excellent minister and was very flexible for our needs. We had several different requests, and some were close to last minute, yet Rev Bob accepted every request, added all elements to our ceremony that we requested, and provided for us a lasting memory of an amazing wedding!!! We are older adults, and this is a second marriage for us both, yet we still wanted certain blessings, readings, ceremonies, added to our wedding. Rev Bob also ran our rehearsal dinner for us the evening before the wedding. He was flexible with our start time as some of our wedding party showed up late for rehearsal, and he was very friendly and engaging with our families and friends. On the day of our wedding, we ran into some glitches with our venue, and Rev Bob was very available to talk with me and Mark re: our situation and problems. It felt like he had been our church minister for years as he was so easy to talk to, and very reassuring to us that everything would turn out fine despite our challenges. As a nervous bride, I felt completely comfortable and at ease as I walked down the aisle to see my fiancee waiting for me, and to listen to Rev Bob as he recited our ceremony and pronounced us husband and wife!!! My only complaint is that is all happened so quickly; we want to do it all over again!!! We would definitely recommend Rev Bob Schneider as a wedding officiant to anyone who is looking for a professional, courteous, respectful, flexible minister. Thank you Rev Bob!!!
If you're seeking an officiant that is professional, personable and affordable contact Rev. Bob. I contacted him via email and he responded immediately. He tailored my ceremony to include personal touches and was very patient with me. My ceremony included a religious aspect so he wore a robe. Rev. Bob also process my paper work with the County clerk which saved me the hassle. He arrived on time, took care of all the last minute details and gave us such a beautiful ceremony. The biggest plus was that I was able to pay for his services via PayPal and those of you who use know its very convenient and secure.
I highly recommend Reverend Bob Schneider.

If coming up can feel like falling down (down down down down)
I hope you miss me when I'm not around (round round round round round)
Verse 1 :
Am I truly my brothers keeper?
If I let him puff on a reefer?
Heaven Love The Believer when Devil run underneath him..
Reeper scuffing his sneakers, his head is caught in the ether...
Let me light you a beacon to frighten the bottom feeders
How Come I hardly see ya? He said No Idea..
As of recent, Ikea, it Left me in pieces, Sear streets with the greases
From my tears, Soul creasing from years seeking for my Nia...
Put a speaker to thy ear...so you can hear all of my fears...
Lights from the show don't glow when I'm sleepin...
And Mics don't grow really close when you speak in
They might go cold if the flow isn't recent...
But Nights go slow when I know that I'm dreaming..
I might grow old, with no fault for the treason...
Till Then we Shutting it down, Control Alt Deletin....
Chorus X 1
Verse 2:
Oh So you don't want to speak to me?
Huh What's with your energy recently?
Friends and Enemies are the same once the game is deep
Billboards and Stages my name has never came this cheap
The Narcicyst Penetentiary, My Bars are elephants to me
Trunks Rattle when you mention he...
I don't attention seek but tell me What is your intention B?
You here for a friendship or build up on the tension jeezz?
There's no way you're reaching me, asking if I'm on my deen like Alicia Keys
Bro, I'm feeling clearn wanna lease a V, So My wife can live, we can eat in peace...
We Bitter in the Winter cuz we better when we in the East
If I'm hurtful to you, I don't mean to be...
I got my eye on the prize ring and the medal
Sign of the Times Prince and a Pedal
Everything Instant Mints on the Pillow...
The Karma's kills though, skin hard as armadillo
Just know that you can call a brother whenever you feel low
35 MM Homie on the reel tho
Chorus X 2

Apparently Apple products are beginning to make a different news of sorts and this time being associated to Football. A week back Mario Balotelli was under fire when the footballer was found fiddling with his iPad. Or should I call Balotelli iPad?
Topics: apple
Wait, patience, coming soon, rumor are all the very common words associated to the iPhone and all the generations of the iPhone that have come and that are to come. We have been reporting the release of the iPhone 5 for the last one month and by all mean it has kept everyone on their toes. While the unveiling of the release of iPhone 5 is bound to happen in October, we might have had a sure shot confirmation.
This Guest Post is from Nitin Aggarwal a young entrepreneur. His company Offshore Ally provides high quality virtual assistant services and has many VA for real estate services. Connect him through twitter.
Despite the fact that the iPad 2 was launched just a few months ago, countless rumors about the upcoming iPad 3 have already begun to circulate. The hottest rumor being that iPad 3 may hit the stores much sooner than expected: the Q4 2011. Here are some interesting rumors about the release date, display, and specifications that may turn out to be facts.
Add more weight to the rumors, it appears the iPhone 5 will finally be braced by many of its keen and anxious lovers. Most recently, Vodafone UK leaked a couple of specs of the next generation of the iPhone. The iPhone 5 is expected to be available in White, meaning that we won't be waiting for ages to buy the White iPhone 5. Other than that the iPhone 5 will be available in both 16GB and the 32GB storage capacities.
What could be a better gift to have on your birthday than to have your friend share the all new Website for the iPhone 5. We had already shared news on Germany opening up the preorders for the iPhone 5 and the video of the site comes from Germany as well, which makes it more believable. And gladly enough the design looks super sleek and worth having in the hands.
In a press release by Adobe, Apple's upcoming iOS, the iOS 5 will have support on Adobe's new Digital Publishing Suite. This support comes to the Apple Newsstand feature that comes with the iOS 5. Meaning that the next generation of the iPhone 5 will have support for Adobe's product.
You got to give in to these rumors and keep searching Google for the latest updates on the entire iPhone saga. The next generation tipped to succeed the iPhone 4 is set to be in the limelight in October. Which is a mere few weeks from today. The iPhone 5 has garnered a lot of following, which isn't surprising for any Apple product.
This has to be untrue. Apple has or to put it more correctly, had lost another unreleased version of the iPhone, which could be the highly anticipated iPhone 5. The scenario? Same like last year when one of the Apple employees lost the iPhone 4 in a bar, the phone landed up in the hands of a person who sold it to Gizmodo for a whopping $5,000. The only difference here being no Gizmodo has bought it and it reportedly went very cheap for a mere $200 on Craigslist. What a cheap sell out! Maybe the guy didn't want to be in the limelight by asking for a huge sum.
We might have Apple working on what could possibly be a web based diagnostic tool for the numerous iOS devices like the iPhone, iPod Touch and the iPad. Oh and of course the Macs and the iMacs too. I think all the hints at the iCloud, indicate the importance of the similar service, who likes heading over o the Genius Bar to get your iPhone 4 fixed?

People wait to buy Palm Springs International Film Festival tickets outside the Regal Theatre Palm Springs (Calif.) on December 26. Richard Lui, The (Palm Springs, Calif.) Desert Sun
- Filed Under
When Sonny Bono's 1987 film festival planning committee was exploring themes to attract critics to Palm Springs, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association suggested a focus on foreign films.
After the collapse of the Los Angeles Filmex event the previous year, it felt Southern California needed an international film festival to fill a void.
More than a quarter of a century later, it's hard to imagine Southern California ever had such a void. Even the executive director of the California Film Commission says she doesn't know how many hundreds of film fests now exist in the state. ...

So I'm finally hearing the words "underwater volcano" regarding the gulf oil leak. The comment was heard on CNN on the heels of news that methane gas is being detected near the newly capped well. I've been wondering about something as big as that for a while stating that it's one heck of a lot of psi to spew that much oil from a 29″ pipe, partially bent over so that 30% was obstructed, and doing so into what amounts to a cement wall of pressure at that depth. What is it, an undersea volcano?
I blogged back in April about giant asphalt domes newly discovered off the coast of California. The domes were the result of a giant underwater volcanic eruption some 35,000 years ago. So why couldn't it happen in the gulf? It's not like there aren't huge reservoirs of oil and gas there naturally. We have 4,000 plus active wells, and 27,000 that are inactive. Suppose the BP pipe was the last straw for real? Just how many holes have we poked in the Gulf of Mexico over time? The earth's crust is a series of tectonic MOVING plates. Maybe we finally Swiss cheezed the area to the point the ocean floor in certain areas is no longer stable and literally cracking. So if there are any underwater volcanoes nearby…well, we may have disturbed something too big to contain.

Classical CD Reviews
Laurent Korcia, violin – "Doubles Jeux" – Works of REINHARDT, RAVEL, DEBUSSY, BARTOK, KLEIN, LEGRAND, MASSENET Etc. – with assisting artists – Naive
Published on January 16, 2008
What a delightful feat of programming! Magnifique! Korcia – who looks like a French Billy Bob Thornton – begins the English half of his note booklet with the heading "Just an impression…" and my impression is that this CD is most welcome after the spate of somewhat boring violin-encore albums we've been seeing/hearing lately. As a supporter of diversity in every area of life, I can't knock a concert that mixes classical and jazz and starts off with a tune by Django Reinhardt – plus another one later in the program. The melding together of that, Michel Portal's Minor Waltz and some jazzy Ravel and Debussy should be obvious.
The Four Duos by Bartok mix balletic rhythms and violent figurations, and are continued in violinist Gideon Klein's even more tortured Duo. The second Django tune takes us into the gorgeous-melody closing section of the program, highlighted by Michel Legrand's classic theme from his musical, and then leads us into the two closing vocals by Jean-Louis Aubert, a leading singer from the French pop/rock world. Korcia quotes and supports the late Stéphane Grappelli's attitude: "The post office can go out of business – I don't have a message to deliver." It's just an impressive collection of terrific "chamber music" – highly recommended!

Welsh Surfing Federation Surf School
Surfing Lessons
A surfing lesson includes a suitable surfboard (long, wide, buoyant and made of soft foam), a wetsuit and tuition on surfing and water safety. The shortest lesson we offer is a half day which lasts for two hours with most people opting for a one day lesson (4 hours tuition) as a first introduction to the sport. Some may have already tried surfing and have made the decision to take surfing up as a regular sport. They can then either have a block of lessons to start or have a number of lessons spread out over the summer to pick up new skills and get advice on fault correction. Surfing compares with similar sports like snowboarding/skiing in that the very basic skills can be learned in a day but more tuition time is needed to learn control and intermediate skills. We can also give unbiased advice on the correct surfboard and wetsuit for you to choose.
Surfing lessons provide an accelerated introduction into a very difficult sport by the use of 'beach teaching' the skills required by qualified instructors able to asses individuals ability and surfing conditions.
As a measure of the success of the Surf School we find that the majority of people achieve stand up surfing in their first day. Tuition is also available for surfers who want to improve or learn new skills.
A surfing lesson can be as formal or informal as you wish within our safety rules.
To enquire or book please use our booking form here
The surf school teaches a wide variety of people of all ages. Surfing has often considered to be a sport for young men but we find no one gender or age group to be prevalent in our customers. A typical lesson might include young children whose parents want them to learn in a safe and closely supervised way, super keen teenage boys or girls who want to become surfers as quickly as possible, university students who want a fun packed activity weekend, professional people who have always fancied the sport but don't have time to hire a board and try to teach themselves, people who have been bought a surfing lesson for their 40th, 50th, 60th birthdays. Often we get lessons with family groups with all of the above types of people. We have also taught many school, scout and youth groups as well as adult parties including (sober) stag and hen parties. We encourage the fun, have a go and enjoy the sport attitude rather than the competitive side of surfing. This is summed up by our slogan "The best surfer in the world is the one having fun." Catching a fast long wave is a great thrill but you can have as much fun just trying to stand up on a wave and laughing at your own and others wipeouts. Because Llangennith beach is widely regarded by surfers as an excellent place to learn to surf (most beaches are far more challenging) there will always be plenty of people around learning at your level.
We also offer tuition for people who have tried surfing before either on their own, hired or borrowed surfboard but find all or certain parts of the sport difficult The surf school has a high success rate with this category of people due to our use of suitable beginners surfboards and effective teaching techniques.
A surfing lesson can be as formal or informal as
you wish within our safety rules. Some people want the full how to surf lesson with
all the instructor demonstrations, beach teaching and set practice drills (without a doubt
the quickest way to learn to surf). At the other end of the scale others want a less
structured lesson and after a quick safety talk by the instructors just have a supervised
surf session.
How Many Lessons Should I Book?
We get asked this all the time and there is no one answer. It really depends on whether you want a one off fun session or want to get into surfing as your sport as quickly as possible.
In our experience a little over 1/3 of the people we teach want a full day of lessons (2 sessions). The remaining 2/3 find a single lesson just right.
As you need to pay a deposit for each lesson we advise you book for only what you are sure you want. You can always add more lessons as you need (space permitting). We advise children under 12 and people who are not paricularly active to only book one lesson a day.
Splitting a number of lessons over more days is easier as is having rest days
Age/Other Requirements
Every person wishing to take part in a lesson must be able to swim for 50M in a pool and any medical conditions that they have that might endanger themselves or others in a lesson must be stated on the surf schools consent form. If under 18 a parent or guardian can fill the consent form in. A surf lesson is not suitable for anybody who is pregnant.
Surfing is a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages. There is no maximum physical age for a surfing lesson (it's all a state of mind). The surf school normally recommends a minimum age of 8 years old for a lesson. For children under 10 years old we ask a parent/guardian/brother/sister/etc to be on hand for the lesson to help with changing into a wetsuit, taking the child out of the lesson if they become tired and to cheer good rides from the beach. If you would like a child younger than 8 years old to have a lesson we ask a parent/guardian/brother/sister/etc to go into the water to individually assist (we will lend you a wetsuit). This advice has been arrived at from over 20 years of experience of teaching young people to surf. It is designed to ensure safety and to make a lesson as fun as possible.
Our instructor to people ratio is 1 to 8 as a maximum. Also all beginner lessons are kept within waist/chest depth water in conditions that have been assessed by the surf school manager for safety.
All Surf School instructors hold current Royal Life Saving Society or Surf Life Saving Association open water lifeguard qualifications as well as the British Surfing Association Level 1 coaching award. See the instructors page for some more details.
This shows you what you could expect from a days surf lesson if you were a complete beginner to surfing.
Arrive at the surf school and meet your instructors- all British Surfing Association trained, and qualified beach lifeguards.
What ever your size (childs small to adults XXL and womens 8 to 18) the fun starts straight away when you are shown how to get into your wetsuit. We've also got wetsuit boots for you. Then youll get your surfboard, specifically designed for learning to surf easily and safely. You will get shown the easy way to carry these big surfboards onto the beach.
10.30am At the waters edge pay attention - its
time for the safety talk. Learn how to find out where and when to surf and how to safely
fall off a surfboard. Next, learn the basics lying on the board, paddling,
catching a wave (but not standing up yet). You
will do this on the sand first then its into the
Youve learnt the basics now for the real thing! Its time to walk on water. But hold on, lets do it on the sand first its easier. Jumping up to the surfing stance is the tricky bit, but with lots of demonstrations and determination youll get it right. Back into the sea for the rest of the morning to practice and laugh at everyone falling off.
Stop for lunch. You can buy snacks at the campsite shop or from the excellent new cafe/takeaway- Eddy's. Time here to rest, reflect and exaggerate the surf size and your ability.
Meet again at the surf school and head back to the surf.
A quick recap on the beach and then back into the water for more fun. When you are ready you will be taught how to sit on your surfboard, paddle through waves, turn and catch an unbroken wave, switchfoot surfing and headstands.
Back to the surf school to return the equipment. This is a good time to ask questions about buying equipment and booking further lessons.
The end of a memorable day.
This shows you a typical day at the surf school. Some people find a half day is all they want as a taster to the sport (you can do a morning or afternoon), but in our experience at least a whole day is needed to really start you off. A run of lessons over several days is advisable if you are determined to take this sport on properly. Day courses can be split into half day sessions over two separate days if you wish.
As we nearly always have more than one instructor working on any one session we split the group into beginners and people who have surfed before and teach them more advanced skills depending on what they need.
The emphasis is on fun and safety. Remember:
"The best surfer in the world is the one having the most fun"

It turns out that Barack Obama's donors may not have been quite as different as we had thought. Throughout the election season, this organization and others have been reporting that Obama received about half of his discrete contributions in amounts of $200 or less. The Campaign Finance Institute (CFI) noted in past releases that donations are not the same as donors, since many people give more than once. After a more thorough analysis of data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC), it has become clear that repeaters and large donors were even more important for Obama than we or other analysts had fully appreciated.

Sebastien Grainger
Sebastien Grainger, one half of the now-defunct Canadian dance-punk duo Death From Above 1979, is many things, but a great parallel parker is not one of them. In fact, the 29-year-old doesn't have a driver's license. "I had a driving lesson this morning at 10 a.m.," Grainger says, laughing, via telephone from Toronto. "I always lived in cities and I never found driving necessary. I still managed to get around. I wasn't interested in cars when I was a teenager. It's preparation for being a father. That's what triggered it. It was like, 'How am I gonna drive my wife to the hospital when she's pregnant?'" Grainger is getting a bit ahead of himself—he's not married (though he is engaged) and his wife-to-be isn't pregnant—but he likes to be prepared. Driving isn't the only great new adventure he's tackling these days: This past fall, he released his first solo album, Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains, a 12-track collection with song titles such as "Love Can Be So Mean" and "I Hate My Friends."
"I'm 100 percent satisfied," he says of the new album. "And there's no reason I shouldn't be. I did most of it myself, without any outside pressures. I realized this wasn't a band record. It was my record, and I had to take control of that and make decisions. I didn't want to compromise. I know a lot of people who put out records they aren't happy with. Sometimes it's label pressure, or sometimes it's bad collaboration. Also, a lot of times, artists will obsess over their work, listen to it too much and start not liking it. I tried to avoid doing that. I was conscious of those traps, which I've fallen into in the past." "Those traps" refers to the breakup of DFA 1979, which occurred in 2006 due to artistic differences. (Grainger sang and played drums; Jesse F. Keeler played bass and synths and did backing vocals. Today, the two are not on speaking terms.)
"When I was in Death From Above, if anything, I stagnated as a songwriter and a musician," he explains. "There was a creative period in that band for a few years, but the last two years we might have written one riff. At the end, it felt more damaging to me musically than anything else."This time, he won't be making the same mistakes, and to keep things light, he'll just refer to the sunglasses tattoo on his arm. (His others include "1979," a sailboat and a tugboat—one symbolizing leisure and the other symbolizing the work you have to put in to actually enjoy things—and his fiancée's name written three times on his chest.) "The sunglasses remind me to relax and not get worked up about stuff," he says. "It's a be cool tattoo. I'll do my best not to disappoint anybody with this album and tour, but at the same time I'll try to have as much fun as possible. If people aren't into that, they need to lighten their lives."
