Maria von Trapp dead at 99Comment on this story
Vermont - Maria von Trapp, a member of the Austrian family whose escape from Nazi Germany and subsequent musical career inspired the famed musical "The Sound of Music," has died at the age of 99, according to newspapers quoting her brother.
Von Trapp died on Tuesday but the news was confirmed on Saturday by her half-brother Johannes von Trapp, according to the New York Daily News. Von Trapp died of natural causes at her home in Vermont, the paper reported.
No one was immediately available to comment at the Trapp Family Lodge in Stowe, Vermont, or at the original family home, Villa Trapp, in Austria.
Von Trapp was one of seven children of the Austrian Naval Captain Georg von Trapp and his wife Agathe Whitehead von Trapp. The father remarried after his wife died and had three more children with his second wife, Maria Augusta von Trapp, who taught the children music and wrote a book that became the inspiration for stage and film productions of that made the story a classic.
The von Trapp family left Austria in 1938 and performed musical numbers across Europe and the United States before settling to live in Vermont, where they ran a resort. - Reuters

Dhivehi language en
Dhivehi Bas is an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken by about 350,000 people in the Maldives, where it is the national language. It is also the first language of nearly 10,000 people on the island of Minicoy in the Union territory of Lakshadweep, India, where the Mahl dialect of the Dhivehi language is spoken. Dhivehi Bas literally means "Maldivian Language". This term is occasionally found in English as Dhivehi, which is the spelling according to the officially used Malé Latin in the Maldives. Dhivehi is written in the Thaana script. The major dialects of Dhivehi are Malé, Huvadhu, Mulaku, Addu, Haddhunmathee, and Maliku. The standard form of Dhivehi is Malé, which is spoken in the Maldivian capital of the same name. The Maliku dialect spoken in Minicoy is officially referred as Mahl by the Lakshadweep administration. This has been adopted by many authors when referring to Dhivehi spoken in Minicoy. Dhivehi is a descendent of Maharashtri Prakrit and is closely related to Marathi, Konkani and Sinhalese languages, but not mutually intelligible with them. Many languages have influenced the development of the Dhivehi language through the ages, most importantly Arabic. [ - ]

Maintain, don't gain during the holidaysPublished 7:14pm Saturday, December 1, 2012
We've heard this phrase before – but how do we apply it to our lives? The holiday season is filled with all kinds of delicious food. We tend to experience the obligation of eating more than we should, especially at Thanksgiving and Christmas, when we visit more than one place that is serving food. Often times we are so eager to eat these delicious holiday foods, that we eat fast which causes us to eat more than what we should for that meal. There are also holiday parties and cookies exchanges that take place around the holidays which put us in the situation of eating more calories. Not to mention receiving gifts such as homemade fudge and peanut brittle!
The phrase "maintain, don't gain" simply means to work toward maintaining your weight during the holidays instead of gaining weight (by eating more than usual). It is often difficult to lose weight during the holidays, due to the overabundance of holiday foods. Below are some tips to help you "maintain, don't gain":
- Choose to eat the foods that you don't normally eat! If you are able to eat bread or mashed potatoes regularly throughout the year, then don't put them on your holiday meal plate. Let your holiday meal consist of the "special" foods that you are only able to eat once each year (pumpkin pie, candied yams, etc). This tip can also help you save calories for those special foods that you really want to enjoy eating.
- Slow down when eating! If you chew each bite thoroughly before putting the next bite in your mouth, this will help you eat slower. By eating slower, you will be able to recognize when you are truly satisfied from your meal.
- Take one spoonful of each special item you are choosing to eat! One spoonful allows you to taste & enjoy these foods as well as allow room for you to taste & enjoy other foods. Do try to prevent creating a "plate mountain" (where your food piles up on your plate, similar to a mountain) as this is a good indication that you will be over eating and consuming too many calories for that meal.
- Exercise thirty minutes after you have consumed your meal! Ask your family and friends to take a walk with you. If you are able, play a game of hide-and-seek or flag football in the yard! Make your exercise enjoyable but do try to exercise, so that you can burn some of the extra calories that were consumed from the meal.
- Control your hunger at holiday parties! If you attend a holiday party, avoid standing close to the food table as we tend to grab food to eat. If you are attending a sit-down holiday party, strike up a conversation while you are eating. This will help you eat slower which will help prevent overeating. Conversation is calorie-free! If you are bringing food to a holiday party, try bringing a dish that uses healthy ingredients or healthy substitutions for everyone to enjoy. Also, make sure you are truly hungry, when attending these parties. If you are not hungry, then eating will only cause eventual weight gain.
- Exchange your cookies! If you attend a cookie exchange and come home with a variety of cookies, think about what can help you not consume them! Are you able to give them to your friends and family to enjoy? Are you able to freeze it (like fudge) so you can enjoy it throughout the next year? Can you leave it for Santa to nibble on? While it is okay to enjoy treats on occasion try to avoid leaving these treats where they can be a constant temptation for you to consume (such as: on the counter, on the front shelf of the refrigerator or on your desk).
All-in-all, the holidays are intended to show love and give thanks for all we have received throughout the year. While we tend to do this with serving a meal, keep in mind that you are the only person who decides what you eat and how much you eat! Enjoy your food and Happy Holidays!

The Drury hotel chain stands out as one of the best. Love it!
Nice, cute hotel - plus pet friendly!
Grab a beverage and take a moment to relax at the bar facing 6th AVE.
Fantastic IMAX experience.
Amazing food with beer you can't get anywhere else - be ready to order right away as service is slow since they are just starting out.
Pro tip: if you have ordered ahead or online and there is little or no line go through the line anyway. If your order isn't ready yet they will make it right away.
You can tell the staff really loves working here, it makes this place awesome!
If the sign in the front is not flipped to "please seat yourself" then it may be best to leave as they are understaffed and service will be very very slow.
Fantastic place to grab a drink and food before departing south station.
The stairs at the far end of the elevator hall has an exit that leads directly to the indoor pool (and you can come back that way too, which lets you avoid the lobby!)
The best views are on days when the winds are out of the west.
Here you can find world class insurance service with people who make you feel like family!
Excellent family friendly hotel with lots of great stuff for kids to see and do!
Not your normal gas station when it comes to beer selection.
In opposition of Jason B.'s tip I offer mine: Good coffee. Delicious microwaved eggs.
Best touchless car wash in the area.
Try not to burn your hands while brewing beer!
Ask for a 'mug for here' and get a free refill (just one, kids!).

Hey guys,

Hey guys,
Heard on the news the other day in regard of Sears and other consumer studios calling it quits. What a shame. I wonder why?
Here is a related article with comments about the reasons.
My guess is that the digital age has turned everyone into "photographers" and the little studios could not make enough sales to stay in business. Don
30-40 years (and more) ago, the only qualification to be a pro photographer was to be able to afford the gear. At least now it can be in the hands of the truly talented. Unfortunately it can also in the hands of the far less than talented.
There is a lot of junk out there but I am liking some of the 'photo real' that emerges. It's nice to see some of those stars shine. Now if we can only get rid of the over use of photoshop. My incentive to shoot better was I was (am) a dufus for print.
My guess is that the digital age has turned everyone into "photographers"
So true.. A bunch of wanna be's.
In the UK, in my experience working in rental and equipment repairs to these type of studios, the owners started employing people who couldn't operate lights, meters or even cameras outside of 'auto' - consequently the quality of the portraits went downhill. Often the camera and lights were pre-setup and the operator only had to press the shutter. As one of the comments on the above article says - one day we may want better photographs rather than more.
It is a shame in one way. The "portrait mills" were a reasonably good place to develop a photographer's ability to work with people, and they did help reinforce the idea that paying for a photograph was a good thing.
By the way, this thread is in the wrong sub-forum. Feedback and Discussion is intended to refer to "Site Feedback and Discussion about APUG"
Maybe the name of the sub-forum should be changed to help those who are new here?
Sorry Matt.. Maybe Admin can put it where it blongs. My Bad.
I think it's as much about how people share photos as it is about how they take them. So much is now shared online.
To be honest, I don't think the loss of the formulaic, mass market "studio" photos is all that great. In fact, I think the spontaneous cell phone photo beats their posed photos 99% of the time. But the loss of an actual print (vs. screen display) is a shame.
Thread moved to "Industry News".

Clearing 2015
The University of Cambridge has NO COURSE VACANCIES through Clearing. Further information about Clearing is available from the UCAS website.
Adjustment Applications: The University of Cambridge will not be considering any applications as part of the adjustment period. If your examination results are better than expected and you would now like to apply for a place at Cambridge, you will need to apply as part of the next application round.
Conditional offer holders
If you are holding a conditional offer of a place at a University of Cambridge College and:
- You have met or exceeded all the conditions of your offer, congratulations! You don't need to do anything. Your College will already be aware of your A Level (or equivalent) results, and your place will have been automatically confirmed. You will receive a letter from the College and from UCAS in a few days. Please do not phone the College at this busy time. In the meantime, take a look at the information for new undergraduate students.
- You have not quite met the offer, please don't panic! Depending on the number of students who have met their offers, there may be a few spaces available at the College you applied to or at another College. Please be patient, your College will contact you as soon as possible. Please check the status of your application on UCAS Track which will be updated as soon as possible once a final decision is made rather than telephoning the College/University at this busy time.
- Your grades are substantially lower than those required by your offer, hopefully you will have made the grades for your insurance offer. Unless there are special circumstances to consider, your application to Cambridge will have been unsuccessful. You will receive a letter from UCAS stating this so that you can take up your insurance place or enter Clearing.
- You have not received all of your results, please don't panic! We know that sometimes there are processing problems and the College will already be aware that you are missing a particular result. Please contact your College as soon as you have received your missing results. Normally we have to make decisions on all conditional offers by 31 August. After that date decisions on whether or not to accept applicants are at the discretion of the College.

Their just this generations 'N Sync, and that's how things will be for the foreseeable future of music.
Seriously though, I had no idea how bad I was at drawing until I played that game xP
And also, you're obviously at the stage where you're very downtrodden about a girl you fell for hopelessly, most everyone goes through that. It will pass, trust me, just hang in there and try to focus on other things.EDIT: And also, if you feel the need to vent about it and what not then feel free to shoot me a message. I've been there, so I wouldn't mind listening.
[Edited by Pugsy, 8/30/2012 12:16:35 AM]
And I don't mean any of that to belittle your issues or to tell you they aren't real issues, because that's not at all how I mean it, I just wanted to share something that has helped me a great deal with my depression.
And as Shibby and Shotgun said, I'm glad to hear life is taking a turn for the better for you, and not a one of us would mind listening if you need to vent at any point, so feel free to do so if you need at anytime.

Listen to the city in a new timbre
We often talk about how one of the effects of a night of Northern Spark is to "see the city in a new light." Since year 1, there has also been a remarkable range of sound and music projects from Phillip Blackburn's festival opening Car Horn Fanfare to Monica Haller's contemplative Can You Listen to the Same River Twice?
2015 is no exception, starting, of course, starting with Adam Levy, And the Professors, and the Mill City Summer Opera at the opening Northern Spark Launch Party (tickets) segueing to Cloud Cult's outdoor concert on the Minneapolis Convention Center Plaza presented with tpt Lowertown Line, and ending at dawn with Brian Engel of Hotpants and Hipshaker Minneapolis fame at the Pancake Feed (tickets).
In between are a medley of sounds for the ear:
Skill Share: A Northern Lights.mn Symposium
March 27-28 join us for a conversation on art, surveillance and narrative plus an afternoon knowledge-share of strategies and tips every artist working with media in the public sphere needs to know.
Skill Share: A Northern Lights.mn Symposium
March 27-28, 2015 at the Soap Factory
Free, registration required.
Mark your calendars for a weekend of engagement with contemporary digital art(s) in conjunction with Art(ists) on the Verge 6. Part skills fair, part lecture and part happy hour, this gathering aims to build knowledge, peer learning and networks in our arts community.
Introducing fwd:// – Ding an Sich
When Piotr Szyhalski's Ding an sich came out almost 20 years ago, the New York Times said: "Szyhalski's user-controlled creation is deeply involving and richly allusive. It is his most fully realized work to date and one of the most accomplished pieces of art on the Web." Since then, like the street cars that ran along the streets of Minneapolis or Saint Paul's Union Depot, early net art projects like Ding an sich have been in a state of digital decline, no longer fully accessible because of changes in the Internet's infrastructure and protocols."

Northern Lights: Our First Five Years
Northern Lights.mn was incorporated in the fall of 2009, although we began programming the previous year. Since then we have commissioned, curated, produced or co-presented work by 759 artists.
The UnConvention took place during the Republican National Convention in Saint Paul as an investigation into the intersection of participatory media and participatory politics. Organized primarily by Northern Lights.mn in partnership with the Walker Art Center, Intermedia Arts and Forecast Public Art, The UnConvention presaged a model for all of our subsequent programs, serving as a platform for multiple artist, multi-partner, multi-disciplinary, interactive and participatory work that explored and encouraged civic engagement.
Projects presented at The UnConvention included (clockwise from top left):
- I Approve This Message, an open YouTube platform for people to create videos in response to questions surrounding the scripted nature of presidential nominations and democracy in general
- My Yard Our Message, a project to solicit political sign designs related to the theme of participatory democracy from artists throughout the world and select the top designs through an online voting process
- Sharon Hayes, Revolutionary Love 2: I am Your Best Fantasy, in presented by Creative Time with Northern Lights.mn and the Walker Art Center. Conflating grassroots political activism, performance art, queer theory, and national politics, New York–based artist Sharon Hayes conceived and staged two large-scale, public performances at both the 2008 Democratic and Republican National Conventions as part of Creative Time's summer-long, national program Democracy in America: The National Campaign. Hayes recruited and collaborated with 75-100 citizens in each city who became the medium of her work by reciting, in unison, a text written by Hayes that addresses the relationship between political desire and romantic desire. The speakers, drawn from the gay, lesbian, and transgendered community in each city, recited the 10 minute texts approximately 3 times over the course of an hour.

SuttonBeresCuller headlined a 3-day symposium "Experimenting with Art in Public Places," as part of our inaugural Art(ists) On the Verge program with support from the Jerome Foundation.
Inaugural Art(ists) On the Verge fellows Avyes Alexandres, Aniccha Arts, Christopher Baker, Kevin Obsatz, Andrea Steudel, and Krista Kelley Walsh presented their work at the Weisman Art Museum.
Art(ists) On the Verge 2 fellows Arlene Birt, Kyle Phillips, Janaki Ranpura, Tyler Stefanich, and tectonic industries presented their work as part of the Spark Festival of electronic music and art at the University of Minnesota.
Northern Lights.mn was offered the opportunity to commission a project as part of the first year of the Walker Art Center's Open Field. Futurefarmers' A People Without a Voice Cannot Be Heard was about how "our voice is used to sing, protest, comfort, teach, haggle and express a range of emotions. When voices come together, a panopoly of energetic phenomena can emerge. Using "voice" as a theme to inform making, walking and play. A People Without A Voice Cannot Be Heard consisted of a series of workshops and public events that explored methods to amplify, coordinate and channel our individual and collective voice.
Northern Lights.mn was invited by Public Art Saint Paul and Wing Young Huie to participate in Wing's University Avenue Project by proposing a "Project(ion) Site," where there were nightly 2-hour shows beginning at dusk of more than 450 of Wing's photographs, which he had taken over the prior 4 years, and which were exhibited along a 6-mile stretch of University Avenue.
Northern Lights.mn Board Chair Neal Cuthbert (left) Artistic Director Steve Dietz on the Stone Arch Bridge at the inaugural Northern Spark. We really had no idea if anyone would show up that first year.
In the end, more than 25,000 people participated in 70+ projects by over 200 artists in collaboration with dozens of organizations at multiple locations in both(!) Minneapolis and Saint Paul.

The Minneapolis Convention Center and The Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy of the City of Minneapolis in collaboration with Northern Lights.mn and Meet Minneapolis inaugurate the Creative City Challenge, a competition for Minnesota-resident architects, landscape architects, urban designers, planners, engineers, scientists, artists, students and individuals of all backgrounds to create and install at the Minneapolis Convention Center Plaza an artwork, which is an innovative use of the space and acts as a sociable and participatory platform for scheduled and impromptu onsite programs throughout the summer.
MIMMI is an emotional gateway to Minneapolis, bringing residents and visitors together to experience – and participate in – the collective mood of the city. MIMMI seeks to engage both the virtual and physical layers of the community, using technology to see the city in a new way and also reinforce the serendipitous gathering that has characterized urban life for millennia.
The 2013 Northern Spark was in Saint Paul, principally at Union Depot Station and is remembered for the Chris Larson's blazing Celebration/Love/Loss among over 100 projects presented. 40,000 people attended.
Art(ists) On the Verge 5 fellows Katie Hargrave, Alison Hiltner, Aaron Marx, Peter Sowinski, and Emily Stover presented their work at The Soap Factory.
tpt's Rewire asked five of the most inventive Twin Cities arts organizations to take over their air, studio, and web for five Friday nights of eclectic, artsy, television-making events – TV Takeover. Each event was uniquely curated by that week's partner, featuring art, media, dance, music, and food and drinks in front of a live audience.
Northern Lights.mn took over June 6.
The 2014 Northern Spark, Minneapolis, is likely remembered for its torrential, some might say biblical, downpour, which lasted from 9:01 pm till 5:26 am the next morning. Nevertheless, 25,000 souls either dressed for the weather onslaught or treated it like a mosh pit and dove in head first to experience over 100 projects at 27 different locations.

In April 2013, the Union Depot Art Selection and Design Review Panel approved Northern Lights.mn's schematic design for a two-part Interactive Multimedia Artwork Platform, consisting of a dynamic light sculpture and "Amateur Intelligence Radio." Our objectives with IMAP were to: Enchant the space; connect people to their environment to make them care about its past, its future – its people, its stories; give passers-by a role in how the building comes to life; stimulate ownership in a playful and active way.
Daily Tous Les Jours created Amateur Intelligence Radio (AIR.) a radio station hosted by a building, St. Paul's Union Depot. It allows people to connect to this historic setting and to each other. As they come and go, AIR narrates activities within its walls and stages little interventions on the site, both landmark and living room for the city.
AIR shares interactive content provided both by its artificial intelligence and by commuters. Its synthetic voice hosts radio shows dynamically created with real-time data such as weather conditions, the number of people in the room, bus schedules, foot traffic, and more. AIR also has an online platform that allows people to listen and contribute to radio shows from anywhere.
For on-site listening, five interactive stations (Clock, Door, Social, Waiting, and River) allow passersby to plug in and listen to the voice of the building. Each listening station offers a different vantage point of the space, connects to the stories being told, and can be discreet or bold to discover.
To contribute and listen to AIR, visit airstories.mn. Watch the video here.

Jim Campbell's 8 1/2 x 11 is a light sculpture that features an array of LEDs hanging from the ceiling of Union Depot's grand Waiting Room, and displays dynamic figures floating across the sculpture. The low resolution video takes advantage of the 300′ length of the Waiting Room, shimmering clearly in the distance, but as you are drawn in closer and closer, the image disintegrates into sensations of movement, an aliveness that parallels Daily Tous Les Jours' companion piece, Amateur Intelligence Radio.

Luftwerk continues to build on their interest in architecture, design, and immersive art experiences with INsite, a site-specific installation at the Mies van der Rohe Farnsworth House and Museum. Luftwerk's interest in developing an installation at the site grew after test projections revealed the building's unique qualities. Mies van der Rohe's design—emblematic of the International Style of architecture, which emphasizes straight lines, rigid cantilevers, and no ornamentation—underscores an expression of balance and a harmonious relationship with the natural world. INsite creates a new dialogue with an icon of modern architecture and invites the public to re-discover the Farnsworth House through an unadulterated experience of light.
On October 18 and 19, 2014, nearly 400 people time traveled to the year 2314 to explore the ruins of Minneapolis, a city abandoned and covered in dust. Teams of explorers braved the harsh conditions to dig the ruins, searching for answers about which of six Deadly Problems brought the city to its final ruination.
Ruination: City of Dust is a multiplayer mystery game played on bicycles, using the landscape of Lake Nokomis and Minnehaha Creek as a game board. Contemporary environmental science informs the sci-fi narrative, while elements of art intertwine with physical and mental challenges.
Founded in 2014, fwd:// is an imprint of Northern Lights.mn dedicated to publishing artist apps. The inaugural project is an app version of Piotr Szyhalski's Ding an sich, first commissioned for the Walker Art Center's Gallery 9 in 1997.
From Vannevar Bush's Memex (1945) to Ted Nelson's hypermedia (1963) to today's social media platforms, there is a rich history and context for a virtual public sphere of creative expression. fwd:// supports artists who are exploring this expanded field.
We are interested in the "app" as a new container for earlier media projects, such as net art, as well as new works that take advantage of the capabilities of new platforms.
We produce and present creative work in the expanded spaces of a virtual public sphere.
To celebrate our 5th festival, we're challenging our friends to help fund five artist commissions for Northern Spark 2015.

San Diego Prosecutors said Wednesday they will retry the penalty phase of a case involving two accused leaders of a violent drug trafficking crew called Los Palillos, and once again seek the death penalty for both defendants.
Last week, a San Diego jury announced it was unable to decide unanimously whether Jorge Rojas Lopez and Juan Francisco Estrada Gonzalez, both 34, should be executed for their crimes or be sentenced to life in prison without parole.
The jurors, who deliberated in what became the longest criminal trial in county history, found Rojas guilty of four murders and Estrada guilty of six murders, along with other charges and special-circumstance allegations including kidnapping and robbery.
Both men are already serving life in prison without parole on another kidnapping case.
Because two other trials involving accused Los Palillos defendants have already been scheduled, the retrial for Rojas and Estrada isn't likely to happen before the start of 2015.
Superior Court Judge David Rubin scheduled a June status conference, when the attorneys are expected to discuss upcoming motions and scheduling.
Rojas and Estrada are among 18 defendants who faced charges in connection with Los Palillos, a group prosecutors said committed cartel-like crimes in San Diego County between 2004 and 2007. Los Palillos is Spanish for "toothpicks."
Deputy District Attorney Mark Amador said Wednesday that his office will likely dismiss a kidnapping charge against Estrada, but no decision had been made about the five other murder charges against Rojas for which the jury was unable to reach verdicts.
Amador noted in court that the trial had taken more than 14 months, including jury selection, and said a retrial of the penalty phase would be much shorter.

Validating http://www.wendygamble.com/RwcS/Test-x.html Error [108]: "there is no attribute X" The message from the validator, re line 28, was 'Attribute "COLS" is not a valid attribute. Did you mean "cols"?' Pondering the distinction between 'cols' in upper and lower case did not help. Just plain deleting 'cols="2" ' was disastrous. I eventually made the error message and the formatting problem go away by removing the 'cols="2" ' also the '<tbody>' (and of course '</tbody>') -- something which was not mentioned at all in the error message. Perhaps the generator for this error message needs a little more intelligibility in its output-message; and more intelligence in its processing. Regards.

About 2,000 species of firefly are found in temperate and tropical environments. Many are in marshes or in wet, wooded areas where their larvae have abundant sources of food. These larvae emit light and often are called "glowworms", in particular, in Eurasia. In the Americas, "glow worm" also refers to the related Phengodidae.
Snail is a common name that is applied most often to land snails, terrestrial gastropod mollusks. When the word "snail" is used in this most general sense, it includes not just land snails but also thousands of species of sea snails and freshwater snails.
A geomagnetic reversal is a change in the Earth's magnetic field such that the positions of magnetic north and magnetic south are interchanged. The Earth's field has alternated between periods of normal polarity, in which the direction of the field was the same as the present direction, and reverse polarity, in which the field was the opposite.
Corals are marine invertebrates in class Anthozoa of phylum Cnidaria typically living in compact colonies of many identical individual "polyps". The group includes the important reef builders that inhabit tropical oceans and secrete calcium carbonate to form a hard skeleton.

Sugarcane an economically important seed plant family that includes maize, wheat, and rice. The main product of sugarcane is sucrose. Sucrose, extracted and purified in specialized mill factories, is used as raw material in human food industries or is fermented to produce ethanol. Ethanol is produced on a large scale by the Brazilian sugarcane industry.
Plants cannot move to escape their predators, so they must have other means of protecting themselves from herbivorous animals. Some plants have physical defenses such as thorns, but by far the most common protection is chemical.

We are happy to say that original drummer, Chris Sharp is back in BrutalRise. We are still looking for a permanent bassist, so we can continue writing, recording, and playing shows. We do have a couple of possible big shows in the works and will have a stand-in bassist for these shows if they pan out. Stay tuned for more exciting BrutalRise news to come shortly.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)
BrutalRise is now seeking a bassist and drummer. Please contact us if interested at email@example.com.
We are pleased to announce that after searching CT and MA for the last two and a half months, we have found BrutalRise's new drummer. Jeff Fancher, stood out over all those that tried out. It was a tough choice, as there were some good drummers out there. In the end it came down to two drummers, that were very close, but Jeff's style and personality just fit then band a little better. I want to thank all that tried out and submitted recordings. Best of luck to all of you.
We are now concentrating on having Jeff write new drum parts to our existing songs, to make them his own. Then we will finally finish up the EP we've been promising, and get out there soon to tear it up.
Thank you for your patience, and keep an eye out for updates on the progress.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)
BrutalRise has parted ways with their drummer. We are currently looking for a replacement. If you know any good metal drummers hit us up. We have a EP just about finished, and ready for new drum tracks ASAP. We also have some gigs lined up for the near future, if we can get a replacement quickly. We have a practice space/ recording studio in East Hartford, CT.
Be Brutal, Rik Manoni (Guitarist)
BrutalRise is very excited about this show to say the very least. To be able to open/ support one of our favorite bands/ influences is mindblowing. We will be opening for Fear Factory and Hate Eternal at the Webster on Wednesday 5/1/13. Doors open at 5:00pm. Tickets are $20 through the band, and $23 at the doors. So please if you are going anyways, buy a ticket through us, as it helps us with future gigs at the Webster. Let us know if you are interested, and we can meet up with you. Be Brutal, Rik Manoni (Guitarist)
Hi all, There has been a lot going on in the BrutalRise world. First off the demo is moving along nicely. Rhythm guitar tracks are done. Solos are being finished up this weekend. Then we well be putting the finishing touches on the drum track and laying down the vocals. So we are looking to have some product soon. Keep checking in for updates.
Secondly, BrutalRise is opening for Fear Factory at the Webster Theater on Wednesday 5/1/13. Tickets are $20 in advance, and $23 at the door. Buy tickets from us in advance and save some money. Regardless to say, we are all very excited for this opportunity, and look forward to supporting one of our favorite bands. This is going to be an awesome show.
Be Brutal, Rik Manoni (Guitarist)
We are in the process of writing a new song, which we will be debuting ath the Gravestone's Summers End Music Explosion 2012 on Saturday 10/6/12. We have a killer set almost ready. It is only $20 for 15+ great bands, free food, & free keg beer (21+, whiles supplies last). You can't beat that. Hit us up for tickets and possible car pool options. It will be a great time.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)
Hi, Well there is a lot going on in the BrutalRise camp. We are writing new material with the new line-up, and coming up with some great stuff. At the same time we are going back and recording some of the original material, with the new line-up's changes. The songs are getting a fresh sound with the new input, and are sounding great. Be looking for these songs to hit Reverbnation soon for free download by our Fans/ Friends.
We are also gearing up and practicing our set for our upcoming appearance at Gravestone's Summers End Music Explosion on Saturday 10/6/12. This is a cool event featuring many great local acts. Check out our Shows section for more details.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)
Hi all, Well last Friday's show went well. We had fun, and met/ saw some great bands and people. Snowzee's was a great venue.
Unfortunately BrutalRise did not advance to the Semifinal round, but congrats to A Wanted Awakening(Judge's Vote) and Seven Minute Stagger (Crowd Pick) for both advancing. Good luck to both of these great bands, although there can be only one winner, and there is some tough competition still left.
BrutalRise just fell short on the Judge's Vote with a respectful score of 9.11, taking a close second to A Wanted Awakening's 9.17. Nicely done guys! Then we took second once again with 17 votes, to Seven Minute Stagger's 37. LOL, not as close, but not bad considering we came from so far away.
Again, this was a fun experience, and we enjoyed every minute of it. We met some great people/ bands, some of which we are in the works for setting up additional shows with. That is what this whole thing is about, the music and networking.
A big thank you to Graham Russin for putting this whole thing together. He is keeping it alive, and we all owe him a big thank you. We hope to be part of this awesome event again next year.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)
Hi, Well it looks as though we have finally got the lineup locked down. After the bass auditions Jay Ward was the best man for the job. Jay has been working hard the last month plus, and has most of the material down already.
I personally am looking forward to playing with Jay live, as he brings a different bass style to the band, that seems to fit in well.
Come see Jay's first show with us at the next round of Metalymbics on 7/6/12. Check under our shows for more information. It should be fun, and should sound great from what we are seeing at practices.
Be Brutal, Rik (Guitarist)

Haynie does one thing really well: win
Updated: March 18, 2005, 7:48 AM ETBy Beth Mowins | Special to ESPN.com
Editor's note: Before the games tip off, ESPN's Beth Mowins takes a look at one player to watch from each of the No. 1 seeds. Here, she focuses on Michigan State's Kristin Haynie.
One moment in Michigan State's upset win at Connecticut in December sums up the play of Kristin Haynie.
As the senior was dribbling the ball up court during a heated moment, she passed by the Spartans' bench and said to Joanne P. McCallie, "Coach, sit down and relax, I've got this under control."

The N20p Chromebook is a standout device with lots of attractive qualities. For folks in the power-user camp, it's just a shame it's not available with the more robust internals that other similarly priced products provide.Read the full review →
As low as
conclusion:We're mixed
The Lenovo N20p tries to set itself apart from its Chromebook competition with a hinged screen that lets you use the device as a standing tablet. Unfortunately, lackluster performance and an average screen keep it from being a truly attractive alternative.
If "buttoned-down, professional, and reserved" is a design philosophy that appeals to you, then you might like the build on the N20p, which Digital Trends calls "plain" and not "inviting." But Computerworld still thinks it's "well-built," and SlashGear says its "solid and conservative." Unfortunately, the display isn't as solid. Though the 1,366 x 768 resolution is pretty standard among Chromebooks and PC Mag says it's "par for the course for this price range," Laptop Magazine calls it one of the "weaker components" on the N20p, offering "poor accuracy, color reproduction and viewing angles."
… show more The N20p matches that mediocre exterior with middling performance that Digital Trends says was "fast enough" but didn't leave "much grunt to spare." PC World found it "mediocre," while CNET says it's "middle-to-top of the pack in most tests" but that's because most of your usage will be online tools that are "pretty lightweight and easy to run." And compared to other ChromeOS devices, Computerworld says it "feels like a meaningful step backward."
With so many middle-of-the-road features, the one thing that's special about the N20p is its hinged screen, which Computerworld found "handy." But, as PC Advisor notes, "the normal laptop setting also allows the screen to sit up unaided," making the stand mode superfluous. It's even a drawback in some cases, with PC Mag finding that the rubber feet for the stand "may slightly dig into your wrists" when using it in laptop mode and PC Advisor says that using volume controls on the YouTube app in the stand mode equated to "some kind of sadistic torture."
The hinged screen of the Lenovo N20p seems like a nice idea, but ultimately it doesn't give this Chromebook a real advantage over faster, cheaper systems built with more traditional designs.

Lenovo's N20p is long-lasting touchscreen Chromebook with a design on the nicer side of budget, but its semi-hybrid hinge feels like a half-measure.Read the full review →
With a touch screen and 300-degree hinge, the Lenovo N20p Chromebook lets you tap and flip, but its higher price and performance that's the same as the competition means it's sort of a one-trick pony.Read the full review →
Take your run-of-the-mill 11-inch Chromebook, add a touchscreen with a 300-degree hinge, and you suddenly have a model that's a lot more versatile and interesting than most of its cohort. It's a touch more expensive, but worth it for the extra features. The battery life is good, too.Read the full review →

While the Yoga 11e might be more flexible, the N20P is quite a bit thinner and will better appeal to more traditional users.Read the full review →
The Lenovo N20p is a bit of a disappointment. Visually it's a very attractive, compact, and smart machine. The touchscreen is useful, and the specs make for a decent experience. This is all ruined by the poor keyboard which proved a constant frustration. Fix that, and this would be a great device.Read the full review →
Lenovo's $329 Chromebook joins the Acer C720P in offering a touch screen and tops it in offering a Yoga-style easel or stand mode. Intel's "Bay Trail" Celeron gives it great battery life at the expense of benchmark-busting performance.Read the full review →
Lenovo's N20p is portable and functional, but it doesn't offer the performance we expect from a modern Chromebook.Read the full review →
First Looks
In our hands-on time with the N20p and N20, both felt like a distinct step up from the least-expensive Chromebooks, such as Acer C720 line.Read the full preview →
The touch-enabled N20p is built with a 300-degree hinge, which allows the display to be folded around into a display mode, which may be useful when watching video or sharing a presentation. It doesn't come around far enough to offer a tablet mode.Read the full preview →
The key difference between the two Chromebooks is the display and its hinge. The N20 is of a more traditional design, but the N20p borrows from the YOGA and others in Lenovo's line-up, with a 300-degree hinge that allows the screen to be turned around for using the notebook in all-touch mode.Read the full preview →
The Lenovo N20p Chromebook is one of the most gorgeous Google-stamped laptops I've seen yet. Like the Dell Chromebook 11 before it and the Samsung Chromebook 2 to come, Lenovo has clearly applied its eye for style to the Chrome OS notebook.Read the full preview →
The screen is of particular interest. Both come with 11.6-inch displays with similar 1366x768 resolutions. However, the Lenovo N20P's screen supports 10-finger multitouch while the N20 does not. The two also differ in terms of overall form factor.Read the full preview →

Q: Updating Freebies
Hello! Mods and non-mods, please chime in. I think I've learned what constitutes a valid Deal Update, but I'm still unclear on Freebies. (I have just updated Brentheriot's Armani Code Sport Freebie Deal.)
I choose to Update Freebie deals that are 1 year old or so and are either A. Still active or B. Just became active again.
1. Is that wrong? Should they be left as is?
2. I've noticed that updating Freebies does not "refresh" the deal-- It doesn't show up as Fresh, so it doesn't appear on top of the Freebies page. Doesn't that mean people won't see it (unless they did a search for the item/deal)?
2a. Maybe this is why people Submit the same Freebie and Continue Anyway (which is what I also just did). It said it was a Duplicate and will be checked. I did this because I've noticed that there are many Duplicate Freebies on here; and if Brentheriot's updated deal is not showing up, then somebody else will probably post it as a new deal, no?
3. Is that how it works?
Thank you.

Dear Fellow Phycologists,
Is there anyone out there working on Rivularia? I would appreciate if someone could suggest some recent checklists or taxonomic keys on this genus. The only monograph I have in hand, which only includes a short description of this genus, is the "Cyanobacteria" by Desikachary. We are interested in the marine species of the Rivularia. There is only one marine species described in the monograph. I would be grateful to receive reprints dealing with this genus.
Thanking you in advance.

text: Fox had reportedly hoped to announce the names of its new American Idol judges at its turn at bat at the Television Critics Association "tour" in Beverly Hills today (Monday). But published reports indicated that contract negotiations have not yet been completed with actress Jennifer Lopez and Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler, the two most likely to replace Simon Cowell and Ellen Degeneres. TheDailyBeast.com reported that Lopez was offered $10 million to come aboard, or about four times what Paula Abdul was said to have been earning when she quit the show. Meanwhile, Tyler said, in a quickee interview, said that he will "probably" be a judge on Idol come fall -- but a contract reportedly has not yet been signed. Harry Connick Jr. is widely reported to be the network's second choice if a deal with Tyler can't be completed.

Authorities have destroyed a marijuana field in Northwest Florida, thanks to the assistance of the Jackson County sheriff's helicopter.
Holmes County authorities uprooted more than 200-marijuana plants found this week. The majority was discovered growing on company-owned timberland.
No arrests were made.
Sheriff Dennis Lee says this marijuana was found near Lake Cassidy along the Holmes and Walton County line.
Recent rainfall has helped this season's marijuana crop to mature earlier. Authorities say it's usually seen growing in July and August.
