4 words:
Headache inducing soapy monstrosity.
There was something about this that was heavy, soapy, and just enough of a hint of sweet that I felt nauseous at first spritz. I valiantly gave this not one, not two, but THREE tries before realizing that whatever scent it was people were raving about when they tried this, it was NOT that same scent on my skin.
I am mostly unable to wear ANY Philosophy perfumes, they use something that quite literally just sickens me.

Amazing Grace is probably the most iconic of all the Philosophy fragrances. Chances are, you have smelled this one someone. I've been wearing Philosophy for almost 10 years but I always stayed away from Amazing Grace due to the fact that it is a light scent. There was never anything special about it to me. Then I started wearing Philosophy perfumes a lot more when I became a nurse. I liked how subtle they were. Falling in Love is my favorite Philosophy perfume and I always get complimented when I wear it. I tried Pure Grace and it smelled like pure soap, very clean. I decided to give Amazing Grace a try and I'm glad I did. It has a light floral scent with a clean undertone. It just smells comforting. Sometimes I want to just smell nice. This is a great work fragrance. It works well with my body chemistry. I like to layer it with the body wash and lotion. It will last all day if I do that.

This is definitely a daytime perfume. Has a nice clean laundry fragrance reminiscent of Tide. Just a small amount behind my ears lasts through the entire work day without reapplication and is not overpowering. As a result, the bottle lasts for quite a while.

I ALMOST love this fragrance, but there is an off-putting smell of soap or laundry detergent that I don't like.
It makes me feel like I'm at the laundromat, or that I need to go rinse off because I accidentally left liquid soap on my hands after I washed them.
I think it's the bergamot that does it, because I've read bergamot gives a "soapy barbershop" smell.
If it wasn't for that smell, I'd really like this. This bergamot/soap smell is the reason I don't like the Clean fragrance I tried...maybe Clean Ultimate or another Clean fragrance.
from fragrantica: Top notes are mandarin orange, grapefruit and bergamot; middle notes are freesia, jasmine and rose; base note is musk.

I sniffed what turned out to be Amazing Grace on a cashier at Tractor Supply several months ago. She was a slim, fashionable, 50's woman with short silver-white hair -- who seemed like she'd be married to an executive and live in an elegant home with a manicured lawn rather than checking out seed & fertilizer at Tractor Supply.
While she was checking out my cat's Front Line Plus, I caught a whiff of her scent -- and it seemed like a very elegant, "high", expensive white floral. I pictured this scent on a red carpet, on Grace Kelly or Mary Tyler Moore -- it seemed refined -- almost icy-clean -- almost metallic -- aloof (as this lady herself was) -- for the rich & reserved -- for a black-tie party. I wondered if it might be a special platinum edition of Romance by Ralph Lauren? -- or Bond No. 9 Union Square? -- or maybe even a Creed?
I caught very subtle whiffs, complimented and asked the name of her perfume, and was surprised when she told me it was Amazing Grace -- which is far less expensive than what I was imagining. It smelled like liquid diamonds on her -- or liquid silver! The way she told me what it was and elaborated (available on QVC, she said), I got the impression it may be her signature.
Her whiffs were subtle -- I only caught them when she moved -- so I suspect she was wearing the original "spray" (cologne/EDT) version. After reading online reviews and complaints about the fleetingness of the original cologne/EDT version, I ordered myself a bottle of the EDP.
I'm wearing the EDP now on this hot 93-degree day, and it's quite strong -- very strong, in fact. Whew. I'm almost wondering if I shouldn't have just bought the cologne/EDT version and sprayed more frequently. To me, this EDP is very strong & lasting, almost too much so for my tastes, especially in hot weather. I sprayed very discreetly, yet it's still quite strong & tenacious. I'm thinking if I ever reorder this, I will probably just go for the cologne/EDT next time.
The scent reminds me of Romance with the addition of a cool, clean-water quality -- also Gendarme, except that Gendarme is more skin-musky. Also a bit on the order of Adidas Moves, which smells like clean, cool water.
Amazing Grace EDP is a clean, cool, sheer, watery, fresh-airy white floral, with a special crystalline, almost icy quality. Strong. It counteracts muggy heat, since it has an air-conditioning-like coolness. It smells expensive, high-class, and aloof -- like a silvery mountain waterfall, like the cool wind slapping your face during a boat ride, like schussing down a ski slope.
The queen of clean scents. Perfume doesn't get much fresher & cleaner than this EDP formulation. The strength & lasting-power are such that for me, it does veer, after several hours, dangerously close to becoming detergenty -- and headachey -- so the original milder strength (which that woman in Tractor Supply I'm guessing might have been wearing) could possibly be preferable for many, including me, than this EDP. But basically, Amazing Grace in any formulation has a very nice freshly-showered clean scent.

I was so disappointed in this perfume. I bought a 4 oz bottle online banking on the idea that the Amazing Grace perfume would smell identical to the body wash. I really love the body wash but the perfume is way too pungent. It smells pretty good initially but the dry down smells horrible. I don't know if it's just my chemistry. I thought it would be really soapy, light and, elegant smelling but it just reeks like cheap old lady perfume. It also gives me a bad headache.

I'm obsessed with the Amazing grace line - I LOVE the fragrance, from the firming lotion to the scrub to the whipped body cream. Sadly, they all fade so fast it but I crave it so I bought the rollerball to reapply during the day. Something about the fragrance just lifts me up and makes me feel refreshed. For this specific review Amazing Grace Eau De Parfum vs Amazing Grace Fine Fragrance...I see both in the photos & honestly I'm not sure what the difference is but the EDP stays on a bit better than the EDT. I'm not a fan of the "fine fragrance" version they released, it just smells sharper to me than the EDT or EDP.
Age: 44-55
Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine

This is a beautiful fragrance, clean, fresh, flowery, and very feminine. I fell in love with it the first time I tried it, and bought it on the spot. I hardly ever do this. Unfortunately, the scent fades after about two hours, which is unacceptable to me in a fragrance, so I will not repurchase it. I'll continue to enjoy the bottle I have, though. This layers well with Chanel Coco, and will last all day, although the scent is different of course, but still very pretty. I recommend experimenting with layering this with stronger, spicy fragrances to see if you can get more mileage out of it.

I know this runs counter to other people's experiences with this scent, but I found this scent to be quite harsh, which is often my experience with scents in this "clean / shower-fresh" genre. It smelled to me like strong, synthetic cleaning detergents.

Dimestock 2014 – A Tribute To Dimebag Darrell Abbott
Getcha pull at the 8th annual Dimestock!
Getcha pull at the 8th annual Dimestock!
The Missoula metal heads are at it again! Dimestock has been the annual gathering of fans of Dimebag Darrel since 2007
It is that time of year again. We gather to honor the memory of the legendary Pantera axeman, Dimbag Darrell Abbott.
FacebookWe're throwing up our horns in tribute to Dimebag Darrell at Dimestock '11 on Saturday, Dec. 10th at the Dark Horse Bar. 96.3 The Blaze and Demonlilly Entertainment present Dimestock 2011 and the Blaze Calendar Release Party...
Welcome back to the Weekend Bender! Dont forget Dimestock tonight at the Dark Horse! This is your ticket for iSide and voting for Round of Underground. If you missed last weekend, here is the regular stuff I like to do:
I was surprised at the amount of local shows that happened last week that I didn't know about until a day before or even a few hours before they started...
The idea is obviously far fetched. But just like people believe they still see Elvis and TuPac, the following video shows a slim glimmer of hope that the legendary guitarist is alive in 2012.
8 years ago, the rock world lost one of its most cherished guitarists. This Saturday, will celebrate the life of Dimebag Darrell Abbott...
With Dimestock coming soon, I felt I needed to introduce my son to Pantera today. I have done a pretty good job in the last few months of not being "that guy." The guy that forces pictures of their kid into your face. But today, I felt I needed to share with you pictures of the newest addition to the Blaze family, and his reaction to Pantera's music.
With the epic trifecta of Foo Fighters/Motörhead, the Share The Welt Tour & The Buried Alive Tour all hitting the Adams Center, 2011 has hands down been the biggest year for live rock EVER in Missoula. ...
Local shows that you NEED to see this week!!!

Here is an old sketchbook from 2003 that I filled while traveling through Italy for 2 months. Some good, some bad, some horrible, but all great memories from the trip. 5 minutes to about 30 minutes, i guess??

Really nice carnet de voyage!!! very masterly, definetly has the feel of old masters written all over it! (probably because they're master copies... (the portraits I mean) I don't reckognize them all...), but the handling is very reminiscent of "old school" as well.
I dig the landscapes the most, they almost have a rembrandt markmaking to them. thanx for sharing ^^

Thanks all. I was able to keep a small book from a quick trip to Paris as well, Mostly studies from paintings and sculpture, I'll search around tonight for those scans. i agree with the Highlighting. I spent the last year playing around with drawing with white chalk,
Here is one that is way in progress. White chalk, Graphite, on Verso Ingress Heavyweight paper.
is the last one from a model or from a photo?
did you do this just with a regular pencil? did you tone the page and then erase out, or build it up? sorry if these are stupid questions >.<
i love your paintings.

Well the drawing of the guy is from another drawing from life, I'm redoing it cause I didn't like the paper that it was on, I have over done some areas and I wanted to make it a little larger(35 by 25 in.) I had toned the paper myself with gouche and in wouldn't take the darks the way I wanted.
I used just a regular mech 2b pencil, I smudge and erase out.
Beautiful. Definitley 5 stars

I know I told you last week that my Trash to Treasure garden was destroyed by some nasty storms. I am still pretty bummed about it. If you follow me on Instagram you know I was still able to salvage some items from the garden. I have a few really nice zucchini come in so I decided to make some fried zucchini spears.
I love fried pickles. I mean, loveeeeee them. But, with all the deep-frying I just have to stay away from them. Once in a blue moon I will eat them but I have yet to find anyone who makes them as good as my favorite place back in Oklahoma, Goldies. I've experimented with some faux fried (oven baked) pickle spears over the years and even though I have found some doozers, I have yet to find anything like the original that I so adore.
Last year we canned almost 100 jars of pickles. I am a little sick of pickles to be honest. I need a little bit of a break before next pickle season and that is where the zucchini comes in. The crunch of a fried pickle without the extra greasy calories or , the fact it is not a pickle. 😉 Win for me.
So, this zucchini recipe is top-notch. It's actually one of my faves and I found it on cooks.com
I didn't change it too much other than some minor tweaks.
- 3 tbs brown rice 'bread' crumbs
- 1 tbs Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp pepper
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ packet dry ranch dressing mix
- 2 medium or 1 very large zucchini
- 4 tsp olive oil
- 2 tbs water
- Combine brown rice crumbs with all spices in small, shallow dish.
- Cut each zucchini lengthwise into 4 pieces.
- Then, cut each piece in half crosswise.
- This will give it a pickle spear look.
- Place zucchini in a zip-top plastic bag.
- Add water and 1 tsp olive oil.
- Shake.
- Roll zucchini in rice crumb mixture.
- Place on greased baking sheet.
- Bake at 475 degrees for about 10 minutes or until brown and tender.
What are some of your favorite zucchini recipes?

Normally there is no bad titty (excluding 50+ titty and big ol man titty) but this is just wrong. Necrophilia is wrong!!!
She's kinda making Britney Spears look sexy again. What an admirable plight.
gross, C'mon Kate, Bring back the Blue Crush body!
On a different note – this is the backlash of an all boogie diet.
Oh I see Jrz Mom has the same idea
Okay I'm familiar with the female anatomy…really I am… but WTF is going on in picture 4. The one where you can see down her dress. Somethings just not fucking right there. Looks like a belly button..tummy skin rolls…but too high! Nasty…nasty…nasty.
What a shame. She was hot as hell in Blue Crush… Then she gets the nose job… Then she drops down to 92 pounds…
I mean, that is like Ethiopian sternum in those pics? I barely noticed that somewaht too large nipple in picture 2 due to all that ribbage and grissle showing through…
Come on Kate! Get an ass again and look like a normal 110 pounder… SHEES….
"…the way Meryl Streep
Her forehead is so big… And shiny…
Maybe her skull is coming out of her body.
Damn the girl looks like she is about to starve to death. Are bones like those on her chest supposed to be attractive???
Damn the girl looks like she is about to starve to death. Are bones like those on her chest supposed to be attractive???
#20 – What happened to this chick? She was so cute in Blue Crush – was that the name of that surfer movie?
Here we go again with the negativity. Stop the hate.
When did Skeletor lose the blue cape & go blonde?
Did that stop the hate enough??
#28 – Awesome. Kate, with her big smile, looks more like that line than anyone else could. How can Kate look so happy while she's starving to death
Can you imagine Kirsten's view? She wants to look away, but doesn't want to be rude. When the conversation is over, Kirsten's is going to turn to the guy sitting next to her and say, "A picture of that ought to take the focus off my teeth for a while."
she also has an eating disorder
You're so FAT!
You reeeeeaaaaallllyyyyy need to lose some weight you overweight, stay puff marshmellow woman!
God! Would it kill you to eat a salasd once and a while?
Crypt Keeper chic. Normally, when I hear of a celeb nip slip it is usually kind of cool. This is an unmitigated nightmare. It's so bad that even when she does finally give in and gain weight the picture will linger. Are her tits even real anymore? You would think that with that much breastbone showing she would have no more tit fat left. Seeing her naked at this point is probably more disturbing than arousing, which is why Orlando probably jumped ship.

Formula One News » F1 2013 – Ferrari: No relationship breakdown with Alonso Posted on 31/07/2013
Ferrari insists there is no relationship breakdown between them and Ferrari despite Luca di Montezemolo issuing Alonso a warning over comments made about the team.
A Ferrari spokesperson said "Di Montezemolo is the first to support our driver's call to improve the car's competitiveness as quickly as possible."
"He fully understands Fernando's frustrations after what has been the most challenging race of the year. He is his chief supporter and has full trust in him. His words must be viewed as a positive injection. They were a boost in motivation to inspire the team and to be united toward our common objective."

ALEJANDRO DIAZ (American, 1963 – )
Alejandro Diaz cleverly explores the boundaries of race and class by merging humor, urban imagery, products, folk art, fine art, and advertising. His conceptual and campy cardboard signs, which he made and sold on the streets of Manhattan, earned him an international reputation. They are emblematic of his recurrent use of everyday materials, his humor infused politics, and his ongoing involvement with art as a form of entertainment, activism, public intervention, and free enterprise. From these humble, hand written signs to his glamorous works in neon, from his oversized cans of beans and corn to his witty, appropriations of many of contemporary art's "greatest hits", Diaz continues to challenge the preconceived notions of culture, society and status.
Alejandro Diaz has exhibited at the Rhode Island Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, NY; the Los Angeles County Museum, CA; the Phoenix Art Museum, AZ; Museo Rufino Tamayo, Mexico City; the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, AZ; the Aldridge Contemporary Art Museum, CT; and the Museo Del Barrio, NY. Diaz has had public installations in New York, NY, San Antonio, TX and St. Moritz, Switzerland. He is included in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Rhode Island Museum of Art, the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, the Fundación/Colección Jumex in Mexico City, and the St Gallen's University in Switzerland.

Understanding Consumer Evaluations of Mixed Affective Experiences
This research examines the influence of final trend, temporal proximity, and source similarity on consumers' overall retrospective evaluations of sequential mixed affective experiences comprised of positive, negative, and neutral affective responses. Findings from the first experiment indicate that when consumers make comparisons based on similarities among affective responses, evaluations tend to be influenced by final trend. In contrast, when consumers make comparisons based on differences, temporal proximity influences evaluations. A second experiment shows that novelty of the experience attenuates these effects. This research is discussed in view of research on sequential single as well as simultaneous mixed affective experiences. (c) 2005 by JOURNAL OF CONSUMER RESEARCH, Inc..

OSLO (AP) - The world's tallest living man has unveiled the
world's largest gingerbread man at an Ikea outlet in the Norway's
capital Oslo.
Guinness Book of World Records spokeswoman Justine Bourdariat
says 8-foot-1-inch tall Sultan Koesen of Turkey presented the 1,435
pound heavy biscuit. Baked locally in the traditional gingerbread
man shape, it beat the previous gingerbread cookie record of 1,307
pounds set in 2006 in Smithville, Texas.
Ikea spokesman Jan Thommesen says Guinness Book of World Records
representative Kelly Gerret awarded the furniture store a world
record diploma on Thursday as part of the publication's World
Records Day.
Koesen was declared the tallest living man by the Guinness Book
of World Records in September.

Blog: (Razor)Back For More: Vikings Take Second Arkansas WR Of Day Three >>
Video: Greg Childs' Combine Workout >>
Photo Gallery: Greg Childs >>
Audio: Greg Childs Conference Call >> Quotes: Greg Childs Discusses Becoming A Viking >>
Childs was inconsistent at Arkansas but showed enough that he should be a late-round pick. He was obviously uncomfortable when running routes in 2011 after suffering a torn patella tendon the previous season.
Childs understands how to use his body in the short game to create the space needed to be effective. He builds up his speed throughout the route and can battle with corners underneath when trying to gain position on slant and drive routes. He isn't a physical player, but he will use his big frame to shield when necessary. When running the fade route, he understands how to use the sideline to his advantage. He can make any catch and can torque his body when running in-phase.
Childs' lack of speed is obvious on routes deeper than five to 10 yards. He is not explosive and struggles to separate from receivers, though the ability to separate is becoming increasingly important in the NFL. He is not a deep threat and makes all downfield plays solely because of his size. Childs is just an average athlete who will struggle to make an immediate impact at the next level.

Felix Ker's Christmas Gadget Gift Guide 2010
It's Christmas once again and every year, I receive messages from friends asking me for gift suggestions for friends. This year, I've decided to do something different – creating a gift guide. And for following years, as long as the site is alive, I'll be working on gift guides for the year. You may have noticed that I called it "Gadget Gift Guide 2010" and what you might be thinking next is – then how about my friends who are less techie or how about my girlfriends who don't love gadgets as much? Not to worry about this since what I've got in the guide is almost for both sexes.
How did you generate the list?
I'd consider myself quite a geek, thus generating these goodies aren't much trouble for me. All it took was a little time and thought. The items are either what I've used, or I'm using or what my closer friends recommended. For example, I'm using the Canon PowerShot S90 but there's a newer (and improved) Canon PowerShot S95 out in the market.
You may have noticed that the items appear to be rather practical. Yes, they are and you should buy gifts that are practical. I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't buy something impractical; I just felt that something usable would remind you of the person every time you use it.
Why Amazon when you reside in Singapore?
Most people residing in Singapore wouldn't buy such gadgets/gifts from Amazon and have them shipped. But that doesn't matter to me since Amazon offers one of the best online catalog for gifts. That way, I can easily combine the items together on one site. Since I cannot rely on Amazon Affiliates (or most affiliates) to support this site, The ads above and below this post is the main source of income.
Let me know in the comments if there are any other items you'd like to recommend or if you have any feedback. Feel free to contact me if you need more help.

Prospect watch: Mt. Lebanon's Alex Bookser
TribLIVE Sports Videos
6-foot-6, 295 pounds, OL-DL, Mt. Lebanon
Alex Bookser paid attention to the media following his Twitter account, so he decided to play an April Fool's joke on reporters. The Mt. Lebanon junior lineman announced he was committing to Pitt, then watched as word spread like wildfire. Bookser's timing could be considered cruel, given that reporters were working on stories about tailback Rushel Shell's decision to transfer from Pitt.
"It was a joke, not to the Pitt fan base but more toward the media," Bookser said. "When I sent the tweet, it wasn't with the intention to add to (the Shell saga). I wasn't trying to add insult to injury."
Bookser's recruitment, however, is no joke.
He has developed into a national recruit, with scholarship offers ranging from Pitt, Rutgers and West Virginia to Alabama, Florida State, Georgia and Tennessee. Mt. Lebanon coach Mike Melnyk wasted no time warning Bookser to beware of his newfound fame.
"I tried to use that as a learning tool," Melnyk said. "You're not just a high school kid goofing off anymore. People are watching you. I think he was just trying to be cute on April Fool's Day. I think that was a good learning lesson for him, as far as social media and understanding that he's in a fishbowl now."
An honor roll student who started both ways for the Blue Devils, Bookser is being recruited to play offensive tackle and defensive end. He combines a high-speed motor with stamina on defense but believes he will end up on offense because of his size.
"He plays really low for a big guy, plays well with his hands and runs sideline to sideline," Melnyk said. "Coaches were impressed that in the fourth quarter he was still running guys down."

IUPUI 66 at North Texas 80
Mitchell nets 21, North Texas defeats IUPUI 80-66Monday, Nov 19, 2012
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP)—Tony Mitchell had 21 points and nine rebounds and Roger Franklin turned in a double-double as North Texas defeated Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis 80-66 Monday in the consolation round of the NIT Season Tip-Off.
Mitchell's scoring output marked a season high for the Sun Belt Conference Preseason Player of the Year, while Franklin's 13 points and 10 rebounds gave him his first double-double since posting three straight last January.
IUPUI (2-3) jumped to a 4-0 lead, but North Texas (3-2) scored the next 11 points—sparked by a fast-break dunk by Mitchell—and went on a 20-3 run. The Mean Green led 25-9 with 8:33 left before halftime, and went into the breakup 41-31.
North Texas went to work stretching the lead in the second half, opening with a 14-4 run and never losing the double-digit lead.
Lyonell Gaines led IUPUI with 17 points and 12 rebounds.

Tornado Watch Issued for New York, U.S. Northeast
A tornado watch has been issued for New York City and much of the U.S. Northeast until at least 6 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
The watch, meaning a tornado may form, covers southern New York and western Long Island, western Connecticut and parts of New Jersey, according to the weather service. Earlier today it also included eastern Pennsylvania and western Massachusetts.
"Conditions are conducive for the formation of a tornado, any of these showers or storms could, and the key word is could, produce a tornado," said David Stark, a weather service meteorologist in Upton, New York. "It is unusual, but you can get severe weather at any time."
Two tornadoes touched down in New York, including Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, Sept. 16. The storms were blamed for killing a woman when a tree fell on her car. They also created widespread power outages and disrupted commuter trains on the Metropolitan Transit Authority's Long Island Rail Road.
A tornado also struck the Bronx in July.

A fan named Sami recently played a game of H-O-R-S-E with Kobe Bryant at the basketball academy hosted by the Lakers star. If you've ever wondered how a game of H-O-R-S-E would go with an NBA superstar, now you know.
The fan is actually a pretty good jump-shooter, and he gets out to an H-O lead before Bryant pulls out the old-man tricks and kicks his ass. I'm most impressed by the level of competitiveness Bryant shows trying to beat this dweeb. It's clear he really, really doesn't want to lose.

20 apartments for rent near Sylvan Park, Nashville, TN
Apartments in Sylvan Park, Nashville, TN
The Sylvan Park neighborhood in Nashville is one of the city's oldest and most popular destinations. It's located on the city's west side, close enough to the action coming from two of Nashville's colleges but far enough away for it's quiet streets to be walk friendly. The neighborhood boasts quaint homes, hip eateries, lush green parks and is anchored by the expansive McCabe Golf Course. There are several options for K – 12 education and adult learning in the area as well.
McCabe Golf Course is one of the city's public courses. The full size, tree lined complex was recently refurbished. McCabe Park is just behind the golf course. The kid friendly park offers a baseball field and basketball court and a community center with playrooms and game rooms.
The golf course sits at a crossroads that features some of Sylvan Park's cafes and restaurants. However many other options are available at the neighborhood's north side along Charlotte Avenue. This side of Sylvan Park offers sweet treats, restaurants and unique shops. They're close to Richland Park and the Richland Park library, a well-stocked branch of the Nashville Public Library system.
Other educational opportunities nearby include the Sylvan Park Elementary school. It's a magnet school and a Paiedia Design Center focused on the ancient greek philosophy of learning. St. Ann's Catholic School and Martha Vaughn Middle School are also in the Sylvan Park neighborhood. The Cohn Adult High School and Learning Center provide options for non-traditional students.
The Sylvan Park neighborhood provides easy access to downtown Nashville, Vanderbilt University and Belmont University, each being minutes away by bus or car. Aquinas College is nearby as well. Access to the main highway is made easy by the nearby exit and on ramp.

Remember Me
– by Chris Horne
Macon is a haunted place, one frequented by the ghosts all of familiar Southern tragedies and a few special victories – music prime among them. As much the birthplace of the kazoo as the birthplace of Southern Rock, the city's reputation is at a point where it's both trapped by its past and scuttling for a future. Of the latest crop of musicians pushing themselves out of the Allman Brothers' shadow, Hank Vegas may be making the most unique music yet.
Once upon a time, the band was Hank Vegas and the White Lightning, and had an undeniably alt-country sound. On their first official release, The Things You Are, their music is a lot harder to define, a transformation that makes their re-debut at the Capitol Theatre so fitting. Both the band and the venue have been refitted with some new wheels, their previous incarnations tweaked to serve more than the original model.
The Things You Are opens with a raucous, rolling number, "Another Way to Lie." The next, "A Long Way Down", is a dark and moody trek, like a man dragging himself through a barren land. Though the band maintains a cohesive sound throughout, every track feels different, shifting. "Crazy With Fever" comes out like it'd been penned at a honky-tonk on a dare from a peyote-chewing Moe Bandy, playfully skirting above the pain of the lyrics themselves. When "Summer Frown" first plays, the listener wonders how he got in Hawaii. "To Beam" features a heavy, slightly off-center and complex beat that draws comparisons to My Morning Jacket, the other instruments and vocals balanced between train wreck and beauty. The last track, the only cover, "Just a Minute of Your Time" was penned by the late Brax Bragg, one of Bragg Jam's namesakes.
Their transformation took place in Athens, at the Chase Park Transduction studios, home of producer Dave Barbe (the Drive-By Truckers, Son Volt and Amy Ray of The Indigo Girls). With Barbe's help, Hank Vegas found itself digging deeper than before, infusing a greater creative range to dress out Chad Evans' heartache-carved lyrics and his soft, salty vocals. It was a process that took weeks and some whittling down the demos Chad Evans recorded acoustically. "They were really open-minded and that's what you have to be to make a good record," Barbe says, "I can do a better job when the artists aren't too hard set with preconceptions about their art." Justin Smith (the Liabilities) welcomed the changes, playing keyboards and percussion in addition to the bass he normally wields. "Everyone sort of really expanded their roles in the studio," Smith says. Both guitarist Rob Evans (no blood relation to Chad) and steel pedal specialist John Neff (Drive-By Truckers) wove their magic throughout, making the sort of adjustments that are subtle but huge.
Their plans to take this CD around the Southeast – with spot gigs in Chicago and New York – begin at the Cox Capitol Theatre with a line-up supplemented by keyboardist Heather Kemp (Oh Dorian) and multi-instrumentalists Will Robinson and Scott Baston, (Moonshine Still). Bringing in help like this is an effort to replicate on stage what they've put on the record. "We'd always been more of a studio band than a touring band anyway," lead vocalist and songwriter Chad Evans says. "But now, we're ready to get out there with this material."
Is Hank Vegas the best Macon band since the Allman Brothers? Well, one way or the other they're definitely a Macon band. "We love Macon," Rob Evans says, "We're really proud of Macon, to be from Macon." Besides bands don't – or shouldn't – strive to replace legends. But… if Hank Vegas keeps this up, if they can outlive the turmoil that tears bands apart, and get enough people to pay attention, there's a damn good chance their name will make the circuit with the bigger bands, those associated with modern, progressive, intelligent music. And with The Things You Are, they have the goods to make that happen.

Sadly I have also seen them as roadkill left beside the highway. The coyote, sometimes called "God's dog," like the wolf has lots of folklore and legend following it around and most of it is exaggerated or not true at all. Those stories are mostly old campfire tales. The coyote is an important part of the food chain and seldom an enemy to man unless we make him that way. Read more. ..

Do all owners of darkout get a steam key?
Darkout is a Sandbox game set in the distant future on a dark and desolate world. You escape pod just crash landed and you must figure out how to survive and defend yourself against all the creatures lurking in the shadows. Hopefully you can stay alive long enough to try and escape or rule this world.
The team is hard at work on updating/refining the Single Player game, and also creating the Multiplayer version, but as with anything that needs to be done right, it takes time. So what's its current status and what still needs doing you may wonder?
Posted by Allgraf on Oct 21st, 2013
Hey Darkout fans!
We know you are all patiently, and some not so patiently, waiting for the next update since we were Greenlit.
First off we want to thank everyone who helped us achieve Greenlit status, we truly are still dazed by the news and have been working our asses of to polish the game that is already there, as well as add more
The team is hard at work on updating/refining the Single Player game, and also creating the Multiplayer version, but as with anything that needs to be done right, it takes time. So what's its current status and
what still needs doing you may wonder?
• We have the server going
• All word generation code has been recoded, stronger, faster.
• New server side and Client side PhysX system and predictions are in place
• Male character is 80% complete, just one suit to go.
• New database system for handling Items, crafting etc. completed (Mucho faster!)
(We've all connected to a single game and had a run through the woods…)
Pending Ports and additions
• Change over remaining player movement code
• Implement new enemy AI from SP to MP (we redid all enemy AI!)
• Crafting System
• New Light Dark Mechanic (we refined it!)
• Building / mining player code (More refinements as well!)
Now as you can see there are still a few things left to do, and we have been struggling with what to focus on whilst not wanting to detract from the Single Player version everyone has right now and still wants
more content for.
The other burning question we have been asked so far is what our intended Steam release date is. We are aiming to release Darkout: Stage 1, in December. The list of content planned for the stages after will be
released along with the game.
Stage 1 will also contain the Alpha version of Multiplayer, which you will be able to play with your Single Player Character, however not all of the SP functionality will be entirely stable/in quite yet. You will
however be able to venture forth with a few friends and have fun, yet still be able to enjoy the stable and refined SP version.
More announcements about the content being implemented, and videos showing some MP action and SP features will be released during the time leading up to our December release on Steam.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask us on the forums over at www.darkoutgame.net where we are most happy to answer any burning questions you may have to the best of our abilities.
And again, Thanks to everyone for your support!
Team Darkout
Do all owners of darkout get a steam key?
Yes, anyone who owns the game can request a key as soon as we are available on steam :) we will share more on how to obtain them when we have the ability to grant keys.
On Desura I think we are able to have keys granted to any account that already owns the game, so it should be pretty simple here.
Where is the Steam Greenlight link ?
Here you go :)

It happened all of a sudden. A Thursday night on ice that looked quite promising for the Capitals went up in smoke in the second period in a blaze ignited by the Penguin power-play. When that decisive middle period was complete, the home team roared with five unanswered goals and left Washington with more questions to answer.
The Caps had not lost in regulation in Pittsburgh in almost six years to the day; a span that covered 10 games (9-0-1). They seemed intent on keeping that streak alive by playing a solid first period. It wasn't a Picasso by any stretch, but it was effective. The Capitals had their host off-balance and looking uncomfortable with a stifling brand of hockey.
They would take the first-period lead thanks to Mike Ribeiro, who has posted goals in three straight outings. Alex Ovechkin wheeled and spun a backhanded pass from the end boards out to point-man Tomas Kundratek. As the young Czech fired from 40 feet, Marc Andre Fleury was being rattled while guarding the Pens net. So much in fact that his mask would fly off his head just as Ribeiro was burying the rebound.
The second period spun out of control when the Capitals began taking penalties. Evgeni Malkin zipped a wrist shot over the glove of Michal Neuvirth to tie the count at one.
Pascal Dupuis was off to the races with Sidney Crosby on a two-on-one break a few minutes later, and with the puck rolling away from him like crazy, Dupuis still managed to beat Neuvirth from a sharp-angle through the "five hole." Adam Oates tried to spark his team by lifting Neuvirth in favor of Braden Holtby.
Holtby made a couple of sharp saves right off the bat, but Pittsburgh had another man-advantage with less than four minutes to go, and they put on a passing clinic to beat him. James Neal took a feed from Chris Kunitz and Malkin then deked to his backhand before sliding the puck under Holtby.
A mere 11 seconds later, Brandon Sutter won an offensive zone draw cleanly back for Matt Cooke who put a bullet by the glove-side of Holtby.
The Penguins finished the assault with their third power-play goal of the frame, this time it was Sidney Crosby who deflected a puck that was waist-high down into the cage with 22 seconds to go in the middle period.
The Caps were dismantled in that second 20 minutes and appeared to be dazed as the frame went by with the red, white, and blue seemingly powerless to stop the Pittsburgh onslaught.
An Alex Ovechkin power-play wrist shot concluded matters on the scoresheet in the third period, but it was far too little too late.
The Caps have dropped nine of their first 11 games overall this season and have yet to win on the road in five tries.
They need to put those numbers out of their heads when they host Florida on Saturday night, a Southeast Division battle you can see on Comcast SportsNet.

Raising money for GYGIG which supports organizations that promote awareness and provide support for those who suffer from crohns and colitis
Having 3 family members affected by crohns and colitis can be overwhelming at times. Luckily we have had a lot of support from organizations in the area that help to not only raise money for research but also to provide support and real relationships with others going through similiar experiences. GYGIG is an organization like this. Not only do they raise money but they also help to form relationships and to encourage people to challenge themselves with a bike ride of 150 miles over the course of 2 days! Did i ever think I would do that? Of course not, but knowing why we are all doing it together makes it that much more exciting. I want to do something to show my boys that we can do anything when we put our minds to it! Hopefully they will be proud of their Mom and see the possibilities in their own lives....who knows, maybe someday one of them will join me :)

Volunteers school international Bruins on campus culture, slang
A non-credit UCLA class for international students and visiting faculty teaches idioms, pop culture and L.A. life
Christelle Nahas/UCLA
UCLA student Amanda Uribe teaches international students in a conversation class on slang, idioms, pop culture and campus life.
"So, if going 'cold turkey' means quitting something suddenly, then if you go slowly, is it 'hot turkey'?"
A visiting faculty member from China posed that question in a UCLA class specifically tailored to help international faculty, researchers and students who are non-native English speakers learn the ins and outs of casual conversation, local culture and campus life.
He wasn't the only one taking UCLA's American Culture and Conversation class who was scratching his head about ways to use the word "hot."
"If the weather is hot, can I say 'I'm hot,' or is that inappropriate?" asked a Ph.D. student from Iran.
Each quarter a new crop of faculty members, researchers and students who hail from places like Iran, Japan, Mexico, Turkey and Colombia take the class to understand the vagaries of colloquial American English. They get help from student volunteers, who teach the non-credit class through UCLA's Dashew Center for International Students and Scholars.
In class, the questions come fast and furious for student instructors, who must draw on their expertise in their majors and their own immersion in popular culture.
Some of the students' questions are head-scratchers for native English speakers as well. "When someone asks me, 'How are you?' am I supposed to give a real answer?" one student wanted to know.
Others in the class revealed cultural traps that locals probably didn't know existed. "I used to greet people with a kiss on the cheek," said a student from Mexico. "But when I kissed a new acquaintance, she pulled away. What do I do when I say 'Hello' here?"
Current events present their own challenges and prompt questions: What's the Super Bowl? And for that matter, what's football? How do Americans celebrate the Fourth of July? What are our traditional Labor Day customs?
Christelle Nahas/UCLA
International student Sunny He, in pink and black, learned about campus traditions in the class.
In one class session, the students learned the slang and vocabulary about relationships. A handout listed a variety of common pet names like honey, cutie-pie, sugar, muffin and cookie.
"It seems like most of these are desserts," observed one astute researcher from China.
Although the class is most popular with undergrads from abroad, it's open to international Bruins of all stripes: students, faculty, postdocs, visiting scholars and even the spouses of international Bruins. In class, the faculty and researchers all become students again, eager to improve their English, learn slang and cultural touchstones, and feel more at ease in the UCLA community, said Andrew Bottom, the programs and marketing coordinator at Dashew.
"Often, the students have a good grasp of English, but they'll want to know more about the cultural aspects of American life — idioms, sports, UCLA traditions and other cultural customs," Bottom said. "We hope that they become more comfortable with life in the U.S. and at UCLA, and that they learn to take conversation beyond the surface and really start to connect with the people they meet."
The class began as one of the Dashew center's original programs more than two decades ago as a simple conversation group for international students. For the past three years, it has evolved into the more comprehensive American Culture and Conversation class, and now Bottom is retooling the curriculum for this fall to highlight slang, pop culture and details about Los Angeles that international Bruins crave.
"We're creating a lot of new content based on student feedback," Bottom said. "We're adding sections on discovering Los Angeles. One will be about things to do, like tourist activities or free days at LACMA. There will be another section on transportation so they know how to get around, especially without a car. And one will be about L.A.'s enclaves and neighborhoods, and that will mostly focus on food." Each class will devote time to talking about the slang associated with the topic, he said.
The class also helps students understand the location of Bruin Walk or North and South Campus and introduces them to UCLA's more, ahem, spirited traditions.
"I heard every year they have naked running?" said Sunny He, a soon-to-be junior from China, during a class this summer.
"That's the Undie Run, and it's not naked," said instructor Amanda Uribe, a history major who graduated in June, and explained the traditional student-organized event. "The girls run in underwear, and the guys run in boxers or briefs. The idea is that it relieves stress during finals, and it's a really unique way of participating in UCLA culture. What do you think? Would you do it?"
The class giggled. "No!" said a girl from China. "I would watch," a boy from South Korea chimed in. "When's the next one?" He asked.
"December," Uribe said.
"What a pity," He said to her classmate, launching another burst of giggles.
The class had bonded earlier in the summer at a party Uribe threw to help them meet local students and on a group trip to see Santa Monica's Fourth of July parade. In their last class, they explored UCLA traditions and legends, and finally learned the campus's official cheer, the eight-clap.
"Every time I teach this class, no one knows what the eight-clap is," Uribe said in disbelief. "At best, they'll have seen it, and say, 'I saw everyone start clapping and shouting, and I didn't know why, and it kind of scared me.'"
Uribe decided to volunteer to teach the class after she had her own study-abroad experience.
"I know how hard it is to meet friends and to really understand a new culture," Uribe said. "And the great thing is that I'm always learning from the questions they ask about things I've never thought of. I'm not only learning about their culture — I'm learning more about my culture."

2010 Coevo IGT, Cecchi(6x75cl)
The Sangiovese in this vintage was generous and of outstanding quality, first as grapes and then as juice, bestowing its Chianti-zone violet and earthy aromas, while at the same time displaying the highest elegance and persistence. This was complemented by the lush fruit of the Merlot, the smoke of the Petit Verdot, and the vibrancy of the Cabernet Sauvignon. There is beautiful choreography in the balance between the velvety tannins and alcohol in this new vintage.
2014 Vernaccia di San Gimignano, Cecchi(6x75cl)
Vernaccia is characterised by a light straw colour which tends to become golden with ageing. Its fine persistent aroma has a fresh and harmonious balance with a light aftertaste reminiscent of bitter almonds. It is well structured with well balanced body and acidity.

"There must be a point when the small shake of the camera is over come by the long exposure. No?"
You would think so, but that's not the case. Highlights in the scene can leave a ghost in any "knocked" double exposure caused by a poorly covered/uncovered lens. I used to have the nasty habit of closing the lens by lowering my cupped hand in front of it, and would sometimes hit the top of the lens before the front was entirely covered. That resulted in double exposed highlights in the bottom of the frame even after exposures of a minute or more. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but I've got plenty of ruined negatives to prove it!

Key people
Eric Garland (Founder, CEO)
|Live Nation Entertainment
BigChampagne Media Measurement is a technology-driven media measurement company. The company produces popular music, film and television charts which have been syndicated by Nielsen, Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Entertainment Weekly, among others.
BigChampagne.com is a web site used primarily by entertainment industry professionals, major brands and their advertising agencies, and Wall Street analysts to access information about the popularity of music, film, and television as it is distributed and sold. BigChampagne's sources for data include retail accounts (point of sale), traditional radio and television broadcasters, internet radio broadcasters, internet on-demand streaming services, social networks and blogs, mobile device streaming and downloading services, as well as file sharing networks. BigChampagne's tagline is, "Now you know everything."[1]
BigChampagne provides a number of services related to producing business intelligence (BI) and competitive intelligence (CI) for users of the BigChampagne.com site: access to proprietary data, data management (integration and analysis), combined with web applications and other technologies for producing marketing recommendations. BigChampagne also provides consulting services.[2]
BigChampagne was originally founded by co-founders Eric Garland, Adam Toll and Zachary Allison. The company's earliest service tracked the popularity of songs on the original Napster file-sharing service.[3]
Co-founder Adam Toll has said that the company was named for a lyric in the Peter Tosh song "Downpressor Man": "You drink your big champagne and laugh."[4]
BigChampagne is based in Beverly Hills, CA with offices in Atlanta, GA. The company was funded entirely by the founders, without outside capital. Musician Glen Phillips was an early adviser and supporter of the company.[5]
BigChampagne has courted some controversy. The company's early focus on Napster and other file sharing networks originally discouraged major music companies from working with BigChampagne. In 2003, founder Eric Garland testified before the California State Senate that online file sharing was "fundamentally unstoppable." The Recording Industry Association of America publicly criticized his remarks. Beginning in 2002, BigChampagne was involved in a lawsuit with a company called Webspins. Both companies alleged defamation and unfair business practices. The suit was settled out of court in 2003, but the terms of the settlement were not disclosed. Also in 2003, Altnet, a distribution partner of file sharing service Kazaa, sent legal threats to BigChampagne and eight other companies alleging patent infringement. BigChampagne was dropped from the list of targeted companies almost immediately.[6][7]
The Electronic Frontier Foundation hoped to use the record industry's relationship with BigChampagne to defend file sharing networks like Kazaa as they believed using the networks for market information constituted a non-infringing use of the networks.[8] This defense proved unsuccessful.
Data provided by BigChampagne is used by major music companies to make decisions about signing artists and promoting music online and to radio stations and MTV. Broadcasters use BigChampagne to help determine the list of songs performed on commercial radio and music television. Led Zeppelin used BigChampagne to choose songs for a 2007 reunion "with good results."[9] BigChampagne also collaborated with Radiohead to assess the impact of the band's pay-what-you-wish album In Rainbows.[10]
In 2006, BigChampagne contributed data and analysis to Wired editor-in-chief Chris Anderson and was featured in The New York Times best-seller "The Long Tail: Why the Future Business is Selling Less of More".[11]
BigChampagne's metrics and analysis are frequently cited by major media outlets including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, USA Today, and National Public Radio (NPR). Founder Eric Garland is often listed among the most powerful executives in the music business.[12][13]
In 2011, BigChampagne was acquired by Live Nation Entertainment. As part of the deal, BigChampagne founder Eric Garland was named general manager of LiveNation.com.[14]
Business model[edit]
BigChampagne generates revenues through a combination of data subscription fees, syndication fees, and consulting fees. The company is primarily a "B2B", selling information "business-to-business," though some aspects of BigChampagne's data and analysis are available to the general public. The company's business model is similar to the Bloomberg Terminal, Omniture, or a number of Nielsen Company products and services, although public interfaces, both private and public are allegedly in the works.
BC Dash[edit]
BigChampagne's BC Dash is a software platform for integrating, analyzing, and reporting information about the sale, broadcast and consumption of popular entertainment media.
BigChampagne charts the popularity of music most places where it is heard. Partners and customers include Clear Channel Communications, Amazon, Microsoft, Mediabase, MTV, MySpace, YouTube, iTunes, Last.FM, AOL, Napster, and Real Rhapsody.
Partners and sources for data include retailers, online and traditional radio and television broadcasters (Clear Channel and Viacom), major content companies (Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group), subscription services, social networks, and other venues where entertainment is enjoyed.[15]
