The 1068 items refers only to the Music section of your Library in iTunes. But the "audio" of 12.6GB on your phone also includes any Podcasts and audiobooks, as well as any music you've purchased from the ITunes Store directly onto your phone but not yet transfrerred to your iTunes Library. So do you have either of those media types on your iPod or any music you have not yet Synced back to the Library? If so, check those sections in your Library in the same way as you did for the music, or Sync the new music back to the Library.
If that isn't the cause of the extra audio, perhaps you should start by comparing your phone's lists with your iTunes Library, to see if you can spot any glaring extras on the phone.
If your Library does not show the Column Browser like this;
then make it so, like this...
and then check the total number of albums in the Library (top of the Albums column) with the number on your phone. On the phone, go into the Music/Albums menu and at the very bottom (on my iPod Touch) is the number of albums. You can also find the total number of Artists and genres on the phone in the same way.
Once you find where the difference is, narrow the search down by checking individual artists or genres etc.
You haven't accidently managed to put two copies of all your music onto the phone, have you?

Thank you very much, fiend! I feel pretty silly, as I'm an IST major I actually discovered the entire audio bible which I forgot I stuck on my phone a while back.... On my phone I can easily remove it by going to Settings > Usage > Music > At the top of this list there is every section of the audio bible, and I justhit edit and use the red minus signs to the left of each section. However, I do not know how to take it off of my iTunes library on my computer. It's not under podcasts or audiobooks and it's not in my music library (of course). It had been in a separate playlist, but I removed that. Do you know how I could remove it from my library without deleting if from my computer?
Again, thank you very much I feel silly

I'm sorry, It's actually Settings > General > Usage > Music on my phone. Just in case that helps.

Perhaps it has already removed from your Library, that would explain why you cannot find it in there. Do you use iCloud (which I don't know much about)? Maybe the audio came from there.
I use an iPod Touch, not an iPhone, so I don't have a Usage section in Settings, so I'm "guessing" a bit here about where the audio came form.
To answer your specific question; when you want to delete something from your iTunes Library, but not from the computer, there are some cruicial differences, depending on which media type you are deleting. Apps will simply be deleted - full stop. So it may be prudent to make a copy ogf your Apps "just in case". But when you delete music, iTunes should ask you if you want to delete, or keep, the original file. You simply need to highlight it and then select Edit/Delete.

Thank you again, fiend. It's not from iCloud because I didn't purchase it. I'll try to move it to a different folder and see if I can hifde it from iTunes that way, seeing as I can't find it in any actual libraries. Let me know if you think of anything! ONe more question; would Apple support refuse to help me over the phone if I don't have AppleCare since this problem is more iTunes related and not iPhone related?
the fiend Nov 5, 2012 6:39 AM

I'm a liitle confused about why you need to "delete it from your iTunes Library" and "hide it from iTunes" if you already cannot find it in iTunes. If you can't find it, then surely it's not there?
But, if I've misunderstood you, and you move it but it still pops up in iTunes again, then perhaps you have chosen to have iTunes automatically import all audio in to iTunes, no matter where it is on your computer.
If it keeps appearing on your iPhone, then I presume it must be in iTunes somewhere, so you must surely be able to see it? The only other alternative is that these audio files are being sent to your phone, as an attachment to something else.
As for Apple's phone support, as far as I know, it's there to help new purchasers with setting up issue. For ongoing support, they provide this forum, where users can help each other.

Have you got any networking set up with your phone/iTunes?
Flu17 Nov 6, 2012 9:17 PM
in response to the fiend
By "hide" I meant move the files to a different place on my computer so that iTunes wouldn't know whre to find it... similar to deleting a .mp3 that's in your iTunes library-- iTunes wouldn't know where it is so it wouldn't be able to sync it to your devices. I can't find it anywhere. I've checked every spot I could in iTunes for the files but could not find them at all. I agree it must be somewhere in iTunes... somewhere that I can't find And I have Wi-Fi syncing enabled, if that's what you mean by networking.
the fiend Nov 7, 2012 2:34 AM
in response to Flu17
The only thing I can suggest is to remove all the audio from the iPhone, by unticking the Sync Music option. Does that remove the phantom content?
If it does, then try Syncing back selected Playlists until you find the one that puts this audio onto your phone.
If not and the audio stays on the phone, then although we can assume it's not Syncing from iTunes, it still remains a mystery about how it's getting onto your phone and at that point, I think I'm out of ideas - even more so now I've read your other thread!.
Sorry I can't sort this out.

One more thing has occurred to me.
Make sure you can see the Shared libraries. If you have them hidden, but there is one in there, that could be a source of your trouble.

I really love these Apple Chips, they're so sweet you'd think they had added sugar but are in fact, completely natural with only organic apples and cinnamon on the ingredients list. They definitely satisfy my chips craving as they're super crunchy and feel naughtier than they are ;) I highly recommend!

Sutton Hoo: The Excavation of a Royal Ship-burial
Merlin, 1986 - Antiquities, Prehistoric - 150 pages
The story of one of the richest archaeological finds of all time: a ship burial containing the treasures of a king who was probably the last of the pagan rulers of East Anglia. Now displayed in a place of honour at the British Museum and at the Sutton Hoo site in Suffolk, the unique finds tell much about one of the most elusive periods of British history. From his study of the ship, the author draws inferences about Anglo Saxon immigration routes. This edition takes into account the revisions made since the appearance of the original edition, and includes a number of colour plates as well as the original line drawings.

I earned my Ph.D. in 2011 from the University of California, Davis for a dissertation on the hard problem of consciousness. Since then, I have continued my research at Texas Tech University, Washington University in St. Louis, and the National Humanities Center in Research Triangle Park, NC.
My research is at the intersection of philosophy of mind, metaphysics, and epistemology since it centers on the hard problem of consciousness. I am particularly interested in the metaphysical assumptions upon which the hard problem is premised (especially assumptions about the thesis of physicalism and the nature of the physical) and other foundational issues concerning the hard problem (including what the problem itself is supposed to be).

Microsoft on Monday changed its mind again, saying it will allow users to run Vista Home Basic and Vista Home Premium as guest operating systems on a virtual machine. The news is especially welcome for Mac users who want to run the latest Windows version without having to pay an arm and a leg. Until now, Mac users and others wanting to run Vista virtually have had to fork over for the most expensive Business and Ultimate versions.

UPDATE: Tour Announced
photo: Beyonce at Made In America 2013 (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Beyoncé just dropped "Formation," the first new song she's released since the 2014 expanded edition of her great 2013 album Beyoncé. It's got a beat by Mike WiLL Made-It, an appearance by Big Freedia, and it was co-written by Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd. If you liked her sorta-trap songs "***Flawless" and "7/11," you're gonna love this too. Oh and also, she says "I slay" about 90 times. As if we thought otherwise.
The video also pays a massive tribute to the Black Lives Matter movement. According to The FADER, it was directed by Melina Matsoukas who also did the "Pretty Hurts" video. Watch it below and pick up a free download at beyonce.tidal.com. According to SPIN, she'll give the song its live debut Sunday night (2/7) at Super Bowl 50. The main act is Coldplay. Bruno Mars is promised too and Rihanna and Justin Timberlake are rumored. Lady Gaga will sing the National Anthem.

Chris Stapleton played the CMAs with Justin Timberlake, took home three awards, touring (dates, video)
Chris Stapleton & Justin Timberlake (photo via Justin's Instagram)
We recently wrote about Chris Stapleton's debut album, Traveller, one of the records in popular country that's been catching our ears this year. So we're happy to learn that he won three awards at the CMA Awards this week: "Album of the Year," "Male Vocalist of the Year" and "New Artist of the Year." Chris performed at the CMAs too and brought out a pretty exciting guest: Justin Timberlake. JT duets with him and plays acoustic guitar on "Drink You Away" and "Tennesse Whiskey." Check out the video of the full performance below.
Chris has tour dates coming up through April 2016, all of which are listed below. None are in or near NYC, but he was just in the area in October opening for Warren Haynes. No live dates for Justin scheduled at the moment.

SNL celebrated 40 years w/ Sia's wig, Paul McCartney, Paul Simon, Kanye, Bill Murray, Will Ferrell & much more
The Saturday Night Live 40th Anniversary was a spectacle, bringing together most of the show's famous cast, guest hosts, and favorite musical guests for a three-and-a-half hour extravaganza (with commercials, and not counting the extra hour of red carpet interviews that started an hour earlier on NBC). On the musical front, Kanye West got a lot of air time, performing "Jesus Walks" (while on his back), then getting up for "Only One" and new song "Wolves" (complete with ice-blue contact lenses) with Sia in a white wig, and Vic Mensa. Class skits were revisited, and Kanye was the target of some jokes in the new "Wayne's World" segment where "Kanye, Sit Down" came in at #5 on their Top 10 List.
Sia's wig would later appear on Zach Galifianakis when he introduced new Digital Short, "That's When You Break," that starred Andy Samberg and Adam Sandler (and clips of SNL actors cracking up ["breaking"] on camera). There was also Paul McCartney, who played Irving Plaza the night before, performing "I've Just Seen a Face" with Paul Simon and then "Maybe I'm Amazed." (He was very memorably, hilariously introduced by Keith Richards.) Later in the show Simon, introduced by Jack White, would come back out for "Still Crazy After All These Years" Related: Miley Cyrus covered Simon's "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" (with Fred Armisen on invaluable tambourine, and Paul McCartney's drummer Abe Laboriel, Jr. playing as part of her band too). Miley was introduced by Win Butler and frequent guest-host Candice Bergen.
Best buds Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon opened the show with a pretty impressive Beasties-style rap that chronicled the history of SNL. Later in the show Martin Short and Maya Rudolph (as Beyoncé) did a tribute to the many comedy musical sketches over the years many of whom made their return: Bill Murray's lounge singer (still great), Joe Piscopo as Frank Sinatra, Marty & Bobbi Culp (Will Ferrell & Ana Gasteyer), and The Blues Brothers (Dan Aykroyd was wearing his Crystal Skull vodka knit hat on the red carpet).
The SNL band got a big shout-out too, which saw the return of longtime guitarist G.E. Smith. Late bassist Tom "T-Bone" Wolk, who Smith played with on SNL and in Hall & Oates' band and died in 2010, was acknowledged in the "In Memoriam" segment that, hilariously, also included Jon Lovitz (who, not dead, was in the audience waving incredulously both times he was referred to as dead during the show). There was also a tribute to Tracy Morgan who is still recovering from a near-fatal car crash.
"Celebrity Jeopardy"
We got a lot of updates of classic sketches including the welcome return of "Celebrity Jeopardy," the maybe less welcome "The Californians" (with original cast member Laraine Newman, Taylor Swift> and a game Bradley Cooper who got to make out with Betty White), and Ackroyd did his famous "Bass-O-Matic" sketch again.
What else: Tina Fey and Amy Pohler did Weekend Update with Jane Curtain (and Edward Norton as Stefon and Melissa McCarthy as Chris Farley character Matt Foley); Jerry Seinfeld fielded questions from audience members Michael Douglas, John Goodman, James Franco, Larry David, Tim Meadows, Dakota Johnson and Sarah Palin; and Chris Rock paid tribute to Eddie Murphy who came out on the SNL stage for the first time in 30 years. That may have been one of the most awkward moments of the night. Everyone was hoping Eddie, who also talked to Al Roker on the red carpet in the pre-show, would perform, but that unfortunately didn't happen.
There was lots more: Steve Martin, Alec Baldwin, a sports montage, a shorts montage.... You can watch the whole thing over at NBC.com. More pictures and clips of many of the highlights, below...

As mentioned, Saturday Night Live will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a three-hour live special on February 15 (which is Sunday, by the way). Former castmember Eddie Murphy, who hasn't appeared on the show (which he doesn't have especially fond memories of) since 1984, will return for the special which also features a cavalcade of other past castmembers: Chevy Chase, Jimmy Fallon, Adam Sandler, Will Ferrell, Martin Short, Tina Fey, Molly Shannon, Mike Myers, Andy Samberg, Bill Murray, Amy Poehler, Dana Carvey, Kristen Wiig, Dan Aykroyd, Chris Rock, Garrett Morris, and Maya Rudolph.
There will aslo be lots of former SNL hosts as well, including Five Timers Club members Tom Hanks, Alec Baldwin, Paul Simon, Justin Timberlake, Christopher Walken, and Steve Martin, plus Emma Stone, John Hamm, Derek Jeter, Melissa McCarthy, Jerry Seinfeld, Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Jim Carrey, Peyton Manning, Betty White and many more yet to be announced.
In addition to Timberlake and Simon, other musicians appearing on SNL 40 will be Kanye West, Paul McCartney, and Taylor Swift. The Saturday Night Live Special runs from 8 - 11 PM on 2/15. You can watch a couple of promos for the special below.
If that's not enough SNL for you, VH1 Classic's marathon of old episodes is underway and will continue 24/7 through February 15 (schedule is here).
And in related news, Eddie Murphy, who has dabbled in music in the past, having scored a hit in 1985 with the Rick James-produced "Party All the Time," recently released a reggae single "Oh Jah" which you can stream below. It's not his first dip into the genre -- he released a single with Snoop Lion in 2013 and collaborated with Shabba Ranks in 1993.
This past week's SNL featured D'Angelo.

Justin Timberlake brought his massive ongoing tour in support of last year's The 20/20 Experience back to NYC last night (7/10) for his sixth show here since its release. While the past five shows were all in stadiums and arenas, last night's was at the significantly smaller Hammerstein Ballroom, making for a rare intimate show for the megastar. It was presented by MasterCard, and you needed a Citi / AAdvantage / MasterCard to get in.
Showing off his interest in classic pop, the show began with Frank Sinatra's "My Way" playing through the PA, but once JT hit the stage the mood shifted into the dark distorted pop of "Only When I Walk Away" with a laser light show and a sorta-trippy image of Justin's head blown up on the screen behind him. JT shifted moods like that plenty of other times throughout the night too which, with three very different albums, is inevitable but he and his ace 15-piece band actually made all those different sounds flow together really well. They segued the vocal intro of the spacey "Don't Hold The Wall" into the dancefloor banger "FutureSex/LoveSound." And right after that took the Spanish-sounding "Like I Love You" seamlessly into the jittery "My Love" interlude.
It wasn't all masterful transitions like that though. It was a pop show, so JT of course did tons of crowd hyping like slowing "My Love" into a ballad and milking that a bit before bringing the beat back in. Or starting "Summer Love" with a choppy a cappella before getting the whole crowd screaming "and tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame girl" and then bringing the band in.
No guests showed up (well except Joey Fatone dancing on stage for about a minute towards the end), but Justin did play his intro to Jay Z's "Holy Grail," and instead of going into Jay's verse, took it directly into "Cry Me A River." He ended up rapping part of Jay's "Tom Ford" during "Cry Me A River," and later did the same with "Fuckwithmeyouknowigotit" during "SexyBack." He also honored Frank Sinatra once again later in the set with a cover of "New York, New York" (like he did at Yankee Stadium with Jay Z in 2013).
Setlist-wise, it would have been nice to actually hear some of the better deep cuts off The 20/20 Experience like the full "Don't Hold the Wall" or "Strawberry Bubblegum" (which the DJ who opened played), especially in place of the country pop-leaning "Not A Bad Thing" or the acoustic Ray LaMontagne cover he played after it, which both seemed a little out of place and unnecessary. That aside, when JT and the band were on, they were on, and it was a really fun show.
Justin's tour hits NYC again on December 14 at Barclays Center (tickets). Pictures from Hammerstein are in this post. More, with the setlist, below...

The Field & Julia Holter are the "most hipster bands"; National & Boards of Canada "most bro" according to study
by Bill Pearis
Priceonomics Hipster/Bro Music Index:
If you've wondered what are the most hipster bands of today, well stop. The folks at Priceonomics figured it out, kinda, and it turns out The Field, Julia Holter, Iceage, These New Puritans top the list of "Most Hipster" bands. What exactly does that mean and how did they determine this? By comparing Pitchfork scores to the number of shares those reviews got on Facebook. The highest scores with the least shares being given the "most hipster" tag.
On the other end, records that got high P4K scores but lots of FB shares -- The National, Boards of Canada, Justin Timberlake, The Range -- were not hipster and topped their "Beer Me Bro" Music Index.
Kind of an interesting method, but the "most hipster" list also includes the very popular Disclosure and the very very very popular Drake. Maybe people just don't share Pitchfork reviews on bands they figure their friends already know? Maybe they should add a sales variable. Anyway, it's kind of interesting (and entertaining) and you can read more about it and peruse the full lists of Hipster and Bro bands over at Priceonomics.

Justin Timberlake @ MSG - 2/20/14
Justin Timberlake brought his current tour back to NYC for his first of two Madison Square Garden shows last night (2/20), his third NYC run in the past year. He played a good deal of both parts of The 20/20 Experience, including standouts like "Don't Hold the Wall," "Let the Groove Get In," "Mirrors" and more. Plenty of the older hits like "My Love," "SexyBack," "LoveStoned," and "Rock Your Body" were represented, and did a number of the covers he's been known to play lately like Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York," Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel," Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" and Kool & the Gang's "Jungle Boogie." Pictures of the show are in this post.
JT hits MSG again tonight (2/21), for his final NYC show of the week, which was rescheduled from Wednesday. Tickets for tonight's show are still available.

Justin Timberlake is currently on a tour which comes to NYC this week and was supposed to hit NYC tonight (2/19) and Thursday (2/20) at Madison Square Garden. Unfortunately, due to health reasons, JT had to postpone tonight's show until Friday (2/21). All tickets purchased for tonight's show will be honored on Friday, and you can still pick up tickets for both shows. If you can't make it on Friday, refunds are available at point of purchase.
Fred Armisen is new 'Late Night' bandleader; U2, Arcade Fire & Justin Timberlake among Fallon's first 'Tonight Show' guests
Meyers, Armisen and the new 'Late Night' house band...
Fred Armisen will be the bandleader on NBC's Late Night with Seth Meyers. The host (and former SNL Weekend Update anchor) tweeted the above picture this afternoon writing, "Fred will curate and lead the band, and continue to run it even when he's off shooting Portlandia." The rest of the band includes Girls Vs. Boys bassist (and big time indie rock producer ) Eli Janney and, as Stereogum notes, that the band looks to include Seth Jabour and Syd Butler of Les Savy Fav. Armisen and LSV are old pals. The new Late Night makes its debut on February 24 on NBC.
The Roots, meanwhile, will remain Jimmy Fallon's house band when he takes over The Tonight Show on February 17. (Keeping Questlove and crew was part of the reason the show is moving back to NYC.) Guests the first week of the show include Will Smith and U2 (2/17), Lady Gaga (2/18), The Arcade Fire (2/20) and, here's a shocker, Justin Timberlake (2/21).
In related news, Portlandia returns February 27 for its fourth season on IFC. Musical guest stars to look out for include TVOTR's Tunde Adebimpe, former Dead Kennedys frontman Jello Biafra, Wilco's Jeff Tweedy and QOTSA frontman Josh Homme.

The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll was published this week, surveying a whole mess of music writers and tallying up the vote. As with anything where it's a collective list, the winners won't be surprising to anyone who's perused 2013 Best Of lists. Kanye West, Vampire Weekend and Daft Punk top the LPs list; Daft Punk, Haim and Kanye have the top three singles. The late deadline for voting did, however, allow for the inclusion of Beyoncé's self-titled LP, which came in at #4.
You can check out the Top 20 LPs and Tracks in this post and peruse the whole lists at the Village Voice. You can also check out individual ballots and read essays on Kanye, Miley, R Kelly, the emo revival, and others, not to mention loads of pithy blurbs and pie charts.

Paul McCartney, Madonna & Barry Gibb joined Fallon & Justin Timberlake on SNL (videos); Drake to host & perform in Jan
The Brothers Gibb
Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon returned to SNL last night (12/21) with Fallon hosting and JT as the musical guest, and of course both starring in a number of the skits as well. They brought back their Brothers Gibb skit, and were joined by Madonna playing herself, and the actual Barry Gibb (the only surviving original member of the Bee Gees) came in to sing with them at the end of the skit. Paul McCartney also showed up to sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" with Fallon, and Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were parodied again in a "Waking up with Kimye" sketch. You can watch videos of all those, along with one of Justin performing "Only When I Walk Away," below.
It was also announced on last night's show that Drake will host and be the musical guest on the January 18 episode. Drake recently landed on a couple more year-end lists, may have dissed Kendrick Lamar, and appeared on the new Beyonce album.

We've done some year-end lists in the past at BrooklynVegan, though you might notice that we're not the most consistent with them. This is for a few reasons, one being that with the varying tastes of our current group of contributors, we could never in a million years agree on a top 10, let alone an Album of the Year. So in an attempt to get around that obstacle, this year two BV writers, Bill Pearis and Andrew Sacher, have made individual lists of the albums they loved most which we think each represent different parts of 2013 here at BrooklynVegan. They both made top 20s (and only had two albums in common), with commentary on the top 10, and you can check out both lists below...

Pitchfork is back with its much-anticipated Top 50 Albums of 2013 list. The list has many of the albums you'd expect to see on Pitchfork's list, though there's still some surprises. If you thought M.I.A got snubbed, you'll be happy to see her here, and if you thought James Blake deserved the Best New Music he didn't get, you'll be happy to see how high he ranks. The biggest surprise to me is that Majical Cloudz makes the top 10, and for those keeping score, Yeezus is NOT #1. Can you guess what is?
Head here to see individual writers' lists, and head below to see Pitchfork's full Top 50 Albums of 2013 list...

Pitchfork just posted their Top 100 Tracks of 2013. It's got what some people might call the worst song ever, the song with the most talked-about rap verse of the year, some surprises, and some of the year's most undeniable songs. Their #1 pick is certainly one of those undeniable songs, whether or not you're a fan of the artist who made it. What do you think of their list? Did your favorite song make it? Any glaring omissions?
Check out the full top 100 below...
Beyonce's "surprise" new album w/ Frank Ocean, Drake, Jay Z, Miguel, Pharrell, a member of Chairlift & more (videos)
by Andrew Sacher
If you've been on the internet at all today, you probably know that the event of the day is that Beyonce released a self-titled album with no singles and no announcements on iTunes around midnight. By now you've most likely already heard it or intentionally haven't listened to it, and I think as much as anyone else that we shouldn't review this thing immediately (and we can save it for our Best of 2014 lists, right?). That being said, it's also been fun to spend the day discussing the album, so let's discuss.
The album's only guest spots come from deservedly big names Jay Z ("Drunk in Love") Frank Ocean ("Superpower") and Drake ("Mine"), plus a moving feminist speech from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie on "Flawless" (a reworking of "Bow Down"), and her daughter Blue Ivy on the album's final track, "Blue." There's also co-writing/production credits from Miguel, Caroline Polachek (of Chairlift), Pharrell, Justin Timberlake, Timbaland, Sia, Drake producer Noah "40" Shebib and others. That cast isn't too surprising (except maybe Caroline Polachek), but it's a nice reminder if you needed it that certain big name artists are consistently working with the artists that complement them best, rather than just piling on other big name guests.
As I write this I'm on my fifth listen, and the album itself is sounding pretty impressive so far. Her last album, 4, was maybe the first Beyonce album to truly contain no filler, but even most of that album got overshadowed by standout singles like "Countdown" and "Love on Top." At the moment, it's not sounding like there's a track on Beyonce that could be a standout single, which is maybe why, like the similarly album-oriented Yeezus, they chose to release it without any preceding singles. (You also won't be able to purchase individual tracks on iTunes until December 20.) Like Yeezus, and The 20/20 Experience, Beyonce is instead a new album from a megastar that uses her status to unveil a full-length collection of forward-thinking music to the mainstream, the underground, and well, just about everybody. The future-R&B that guests Frank Ocean and Drake make on their own albums is the style most prevalent here, and mixing that with one of the most undeniably great voices in today's pop music makes Beyonce a hell of a listen.
You also may have heard that Beyonce is calling the album a "visual album," and it was released with 17 videos for the 14 tracks (a few bonus videos included). You can watch a playlist of 30-second clips of each video, along with the tracklist, below...

It's the first work week of December and the year-end music lists for 2013 keep piling in. We just saw album lists from Q and Mojo, and now we get a list from a US publication, SPIN. There's not too many surprises on this one. Like last year, it shares its #1 with the highest Pitchfork-rated album of the year, and in general it features many of the albums we expect to see on these kinds of lists, including a lot of the year's big-name comebacks like My Bloody Valentine, Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk, Queens of The Stone Age, Boards of Canada and Nine Inch Nails, plus big breakouts like Haim and Disclosure. There are a few interesting omissions though, like Savages.
Check out their full list below...
Haim played 'SNL' (video); December hosts and musical guests include Jimmy Fallon & Justin Timberlake
Haim just made their SNL debut over the weekend, playing "Don't Save Me" and "The Wire," as well as appearing in a sketch that uses The Outfield's mega-'80s hit "Your Love" in a pretty funny way. It was a highlight of an especially lackluster episode of SNL, and you can watch all three clips in this post. Since their appearance, Este Haim's "bass face" -- already an internet meme -- is now full-on sensation, perhaps you've seen it on your Facebook timeline via every one of your friends.
In other news, both of Haim's Terminal 5 shows in May -- including the second show which was just added -- are sold out.
Meanwhile, Saturday Night Live has announced the hosts and musical guests from the remainder of 2013 which looks hopeful on the funny front: Paul Rudd hosts on December 7 with a second appearance from UK boy band One Direction; and John Goodman returns for his 13th hosting job with Kings of Leon as musical guests.
Then on December 21, SNL gifts us with what will be the year's most anticipated show: Jimmy Fallon will host with (surprise!) Justin Timberlake performing. SNL writers usually bring their A-game to a JT episode (expect a return of the Brothers Gibb), and this one will also be a way to remind folks that in the new year, Jimmy Fallon will be moving to The Tonight Show and current "Weekend Update" anchor Seth Meyers will becoming the new Late Night, both of whom will start their new jobs on February 24.
Haim's SNL performances and that Outfield sketch below...

Justin Timberlake played Barclays Center w/ The Weeknd (set list & videos), adds more dates (2nd MSG show included)
Justin Timberlake at Barclays Center - 11/16/13 (via @liliana_lgd)
Justin Timberlake just brought his tour through the NYC-area for a few dates with The Weeknd including a show at Brooklyn's Barclays Center last week (11/6). Check out JT's 30+ song setlist and videos of both artists from the show, below.
Justin's tour comes back to NYC for a show on February 19 at MSG, and since we last spoke, he's added a ton of more dates, including another show happening at MSG (2/20) a day later. Tickets for that show go on sale November 18 at 10 AM with Fan Club/Mastercard presales starting today (11/13) at 10 AM and Live Nation/Mobile App/Venue/Facebook presales starting Friday (11/15) at 10 AM. There are some tickets left for the first night, but "not many." No openers for these shows announced yet.
Updated dates are listed, along with videos and setlist from Barclays, below...

Justin Timberlake at Yankee Stadium in July (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Justin Timberlake is in a rare position where he's one of the biggest pop stars on the planet, but on (at least the first part of) his new album, he's doing the kind of forward-thinking R&B that usually comes from newer, comparatively smaller artists. So it's a welcome announcement that he's taking one of those smaller artists, The Weeknd, on tour with him. The Weeknd will open this week's NYC-area dates that happen on 11/6 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, 11/7 at XL Center in Hartford, and 11/9 at IZOD Center in NJ. Tickets for all three shows are still available. No opener has been announced for JT's MSG show (2/19) yet.
The Weeknd brought his own tour to NYC for two nights at Radio City in October, and after the JT tour, he'll open for Drake (who also played NYC in October) on his European tour.
All dates are listed below...

Justin Timberlake at Yankee Stadium in July (more by Dana (distortion) Yavin)
Justin Timberlake has a bunch of North American dates coming up, including a previously discussed stop at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on November 6 and NJ's IZOD Center on November 9, both of which tickets are still available for. He's just added way more dates into 2014, and the newly expanded tour will bring him back to NYC for a show at Madison Square Garden on February 19. (Not his first time there.) Tickets for that show go on sale Monday (9/30) at 10 AM with a Fan Club presale starting Wednesday (9/25) at 10 AM and Live Nation/Mobile App/Venue/Facebook presales starting Friday (9/27) at 10 AM. Updated dates are listed below.
JT is set to release the second part of his 2013 album, The 20/20 Experience, next week (9/30), but he's currently streaming the whole thing on iTunes. Part 2 gives us 11 more songs and 74+ more minutes of music (hidden track included) from Justin, Timbaland, and co., plus guest verses from Drake and Jay Z. If you liked the boundary-pushing pop of part 1, you'll probably dig much of part 2 too.
Updated dates are listed, along with streams of two album tracks -- "Take Back the Night" and "TKO" -- below...

hip hop roundup: Danny Brown, Drake, Eve, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Nick Speed, Blitz, Stalley, Gunplay, Bilal & more
Danny Brown's Old is one of the most anticipated rap albums of the year, and while holding your breath for a rap release is never a good idea (we've got our fingers crossed for that September 30 release date though), we're feeling one step closer to Old actually seeing the light of day, now that it's officially got album artwork. And pretty great artwork at that. That's it above (via Danny's instagram). It was designed by Sam Chirnside, and the painting is by Leila D'Amato. His newish video for "ODB" is below.
Danny recently made appearances at Afro-Punk Fest, Fool's Gold Day Off, and the NYU Mystery Concert, and he's set to play Rock the Bells NJ in October and open for Sleigh Bells at Terminal 5 in November.
Meanwhile, the group Danny is a part of, Bruiser Brigade will be playing NYC without him (he'll be at Rock the Bells in California) on September 15 at Mercury Lounge. The Detroit crew will be joined by some hometown pals like producer Nick Speed (50 Cent, M.O.P., Talib Kweli) and rapper Dusty McFly, in addition to NYC producer Hillie Hill (Nas, Biggie) and A La $ole of Joey Bada$$'s Pro Era crew. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
There's some other good rap shows coming in NYC too, including afro-beat rapper Blitz the Ambassador, who is headlining The Studio at Webster Hall on September 19 with opening sets from Old Money, Boima, and Caktuz. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Eve, who's got a new album out this year, was supposed to play Irving Plaza back in August, but she'll instead play Gramercy Theatre on September 12. Opening the show is Dyme-A-Duzin (of Phony PPL) and Camille Safiya. Tickets are on sale now, and any tickets purchased for Irving Plaza are being honored.
Not exactly rap, but neo-soul singer Bilal, who released his solid new album A Love Surreal earlier this year, will play the New School Alumni Jazz Night at Highline Ballroom on September 18. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Stalley, who plays Rock the Bells NJ, and Gunplay play Gramercy Theatre on October 18 (which is during CMJ). Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (9/6) at noon.
Legendary hip hop duo Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, who played a Central Park show earlier this summer, play BB King's on November 13 with Camp Lo. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
Yo Gotti just released his new mixtape, Nov 19th: The Mixtape, and he'll play NYC on November 19 at BB KIng's with Y.G., Ca$h Out, Shy Glizzy, and Zed Zilla. Tickets for that show are on sale now.
On the topic of anticipated rap albums, which we were talking about above, Drake also shed some more light on his new album, Nothing Was The Same, which is due out on September 24. He just revealed the tracklist which features previously released singles "Started From the Bottom" and "Hold On, We're Going Home," and "All Me" appears as a bonus track on the deluxe edition. The only guest rappers are Jay Z and Detail. Check out the full tracklist below, and that's the artwork above.
Both Drake and Jay Z appear on the second installment of Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience, which is due out September 30. Justin returns to NYC to play Barclays Center on November 6. Tickets for that show are still available (though Ticketmaster says "not many left"). Artwork and tracklist for his new LP, below.
Drake also plays Barclays Center (10/28) on his tour with Miguel and Future. Tickets for that show are still available.
Things aren't looking so bright in Miguel's world lately, as he was just charged with two counts of DUI after his August arrest.
A$AP Rocky also just faced some legal charges. TMZ reports that due to an incident that occurred while he was performing at Jay Z's Made In America Festival, Rocky was charged with misdemeanor simple assault for allegedly slapping a woman in the crowd. TMZ writes, "The woman claims A$AP was trying to make his way through a crowd of dancing fans -- with a bunch of girls pulling on his shirt -- when A$AP turned and fired off an open-hand slap, connecting with her face. The woman claims she was injured from the alleged slap -- suffering whiplash from the impact." It's not the first time he was accused of something like this.
A$AP Rocky and Drake's third "Fuckin' Problems" partner, Kendrick Lamar, will be in NYC with his Black Hippy friends Ab-Soul and Jay Rock, plus young Brooklyn rapper Bishop Nehru, on September 10 at Williamsburg Park. Tickets for that show are still available.
Meanwhile, the man behind the hook on "Fuckin' Problems," 2 Chainz, will NOT be at Williamsburg Park, because despite being scheduled to play five days after Kendrick, he cancelled his show.
What other hip hop shows in NYC are you excited for? And when is Schoolboy Q's album coming out???

an arial view of Phoenix
During a typical week at BrooklynVegan we end up posting a lot of new videos. This week, for example, we had clips from Antwon, Rituals, Saint Rich and more. But there are many more we don't get to... which is where this post comes in handy. Play catch-up with the latest eye candy from Phoenix, Disappears, Saint Rich, Anna Calvi, Jay Z & Justin Timberlake, Dizzee Rascal, and Frightened Rabbit, below.

Last night (8/28), Justin Timberlake tweeted "Join me & @Target tonight for just one song. Let's "Take Back the Night." First 150 get in. See you there!" with a picture of a microphone, a clock with 30 minutes on it, and Hoboken venue Maxwell's, which closed its doors at the end of last month. According to NJ.com, it's because last night JT was filming a video for Target (where he has a clothing line) at Maxwell's:
There are thousands of people in front of the club at Washington and 11th streets, according to news photographer Joe Shine. Throngs of media are on the scene.So The Bongos and "a" wasn't the last show at Maxwell's after all? Will his video be as fondly remembered as "Glory Days?"
Timberlake's wife, actress Jessica Biel was spotted near his trailer.
Police are using loudspeakers to try to keep the streets clear, but it is of little use, according to Journal staff writer Michaelangelo Conte.
There are people on every corner, people are standing in the streets 10 feet from the sidewalk, Conte said.
There is a big trailer parked outside. Inside Maxwell's is dimly lit and the star cannot be seen, Conte said.
This all happened just after JT was in Brooklyn for the VMAs at Barclays Center. Video of his VMAs performance (in case you missed it) below...

Savage rifles will give you the best bang for the buck... Model 110 or 111 for hunting, or Model 12 for target.

I picked up a Remington 700 in 308 last year used for 400, really great gun.
November 10, 2008, 03:50 PM
I already own a 700 in .270, guess a good choice would be another 700 in the .308.
November 10, 2008, 03:52 PM
700 in .308 is fantastic. Yes, ... if you can get it, definitely do.
November 10, 2008, 06:12 PM
i have a steyr mannlicher scout in 308 but it'll set you back $1500 :P

Remington 700 SPS "Tactical"...about $520.00 in my area, Hoage rubber coated stock, and dual pillar bedded heavy-barreled action.
November 10, 2008, 06:49 PM
Do you have a budget in mind?
Jeffery's Bolt Action Magazine Rifle (http://www.jroberts-gunmakers.co.uk/makers/wjj.htm) is available in .308 Winchester, and Rigby's African Express Bolt Rifle (http://www.johnrigbyandco.com/html/AfricanExpressBoltRifle.html) can be special-ordered in that calibre. They are certainly not cheap, but the quality cannot be surpassed, and of course you get a custom-fitted stock. Enjoy!

Oh well, I KIND OF didn't want it since my parents said they wouldn't come anyway.
How early should shower invitations be mailed?
Oh well, I KIND OF didn't want it since my parents said they wouldn't come anyway.
Holy crap - 4 to 6 weeks? You mail out wedding invitations 6 weeks ahead of time! I think mailing them out tomorrow for your shower on the 13th is fine. Don't worry about it! My shower is the 19th, and invites are getting mailed out next week.
Happily married since 9/9/06, and welcomed our first child, Alyssa Rebecca, into the world in February, 2013! Now waiting on baby #2 10/14!
If invites are sent too soon then people will forget.
I think for showers, 3-4 weeks is appropriate. For a wedding, 4-6 weeks. but this is alot smaller of an endeaver. For most.

Big Sister by Greys-GiovanaWatch
©2013-2016 Greys-Giovana
Inspired by the fanfic. "Adventures in Turtle Sitting" www.fanfiction.net/s/9483738/1…
April tries to train your sixth sense with the help of meditation. It would be easier for her if she had four little trying to get your attention ... xD
This would make an awesome episode. XD
She'll lose it any second now...
awww good for April! if my little brother poked my face like that I would beat the living spit out of him. wish I had that kind of patience with my little sibs. love the work for this!
I feel so sorry for Donny. April will come back someday. Her name, her legacy, and her obligations to the franchise suggest she'll return at some point. She's got a lot of stuff to work through, though. And with her heart torn so thoroughly right now, Donny's better off keeping his distance and focusing on thawing out Timothy for more retro-mutagen experiments and post-mutation rehabilitation. The past Aprils may have been a bit less aggressive, but this April has the voice (and spirit) of Katara; Donny should count himself lucky April doesn't know how to Blood Bend in their always-full moon city.

The Seals Quilted Kayak Paddle Bag is constructed with Seals Duro-Quilt fabric on the inside and outside and features a full length lockable zipper. The bag is designed to hold two take-apart paddles up to 230 cm each.
|Item #:
|Made in:
|Part Number
The bag did fit my 240cm Bending Branches Angler Ace. It is a very nice quality bag. It was also an excellent deal with the coupon you sent me.
Nicely quilted on the inside and outside Not as tough on the outside as the NRS paddle bag good for carry on but not for sending with the luggage
Great product and protection for my paddles.
I use this bag to store my two Werner Kallisti 220cm paddles. I like how secure the paddles are in the bag using the velcro tie downs. There is a flap of fabric that is not visible in the pictures but protects the paddles from rubbing against each other. The padding seems adequate and the zipper seems to be high quality. So far I am very pleased with my purchase

The Best Steam Washers and Dryers
True to its name, this Shark iron was among the lightest we tested and offers good performance and impressive steam output, especially at this price. Of all the irons tested, it has the fewest temperature fluctuations, meaning the heat output is very precise for each fabric setting. While its slight size is a plus for ease of use, it does make it more likely to tip over than heavier irons. Other features include spray, burst, vertical steam, adjustable steam, and auto shutoff. (sharkcompany.com)
A good performer and solid steamer, the T-fal has a nice ease-of-use feature: You fill it through an extra-wide, easy-to-access opening in the base. The ceramic soleplate, found on all T-fal irons, is a smooth glider and easy to clean. The triangular base made it among the more stable we tested. Unique to this iron is a system that positions the cord away from the iron so it's less likely to bunch and rewrinkle already-ironed fabrics as you glide it back and forth. Other features include spray, steam burst, adjustable steam, vertical steam, auto shutoff, and anti-scale cleaning valve. (t-falusa.com)

I'm thinking I had some left over soup from last night from lunch. Do u think, if this doesn't sound like Braxton hicks, that having reheated soup might've cause my stomach troubles? Also, do u think I freak out way too much? :P
FTM: Stomach hardening & hurting-Braxton hicks?!
I'm thinking I had some left over soup from last night from lunch. Do u think, if this doesn't sound like Braxton hicks, that having reheated soup might've cause my stomach troubles? Also, do u think I freak out way too much? :P
Comments (10)
I realized that stomach pain can be 100 different things. However if you did all the stuff on the "list" : lying on your left side, drinking water, waiting an hour, changing position, etc, etc. and you're still feeling like crap, call your doctor.
Better to be safe than sorry.
Hang in there. I have had one thing after another too...when in doubt, calmly, and nicely as possible contact the triage nurse at your OB. It's their job and will give you reassurance.
first was around kids that had 5th's disease, and caught the virus, so got bloodwork (luckily I have previous immunity to it). I have a friend who lost her baby to 5th's just a few months ago...so I was freaked until I got the results.
next, my 2 yr old fell completely, full weight on my abdomen...then I started having very consistant contractions (got it checked out and all was fine)
Now, I swear I have bronchitis, as I've been coughing up mucous with blood, get choked..etc. So I will probably call again this week.
I had BH since 32 weeks, and some have been so hard and painful that I hit the floor, that it took my breath away, or made me rush to the bathroom. Sometimes I get them when I relax and sometimes I get them when I am active. The trick is to change up whatever you are doing, chug water and relax. If they stop after a few hours, then they are just BH's.
My vote is BH. I get the same thing, esp. with BMs (and am also 32 weeks). With everything so crunched in there, your usual pushing for BMs engages the abdominals, and can contract the uterus. Mine can start on top or at the very bottom, and my belly stays hard for at least a few minutes. Sometimes after BM I can get multiple BHs for the next 30 mins or so.
Try not to worry and stay hydrated. It's probably only BH...unless you felt like vomitting (in which case it was the soup), or if you felt back pain or more intense pain (which could be a regular contraction).

Picture: Kerry Washington - The newlyweds are believed to have bonded over their shared love of philanthropy as both are involved in former U.S....
Kerry Washington's husband Nnamdi Asomugha has suffered a sporting blow - he has been released from American football team the San Francisco 49ers.
Her new husband's contract has been waived by the California team after coaches opted to make some strategic changes to their roster.
Asomugha has been with the 49ers since April (13), but he only played in three games before hyper extending his knee.
The news of Asomugha's unemployment comes just two days after his wife's triumphant debut as the host of U.S. sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, which garnered high ratings at the weekend.
The newlyweds exchanged vows in a secret low-key ceremony in June (13), and they are reportedly expecting their first child together.
Asomugha was once one of the top players in the Nfl. He previously played for the Oakland Raiders and the Philadelphia Eagles.

An Audience With a Mountain King
Published: February 21, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
Immediately after breakfast we went to the gathering place, where we met our fellow climbers on the day trip (a couple from Seattle, an American AIDS worker living in Kampala, a British speech therapist), enlisted our porters, joined our trackers, and piled into a truck for the short drive to the base of the mountain. There, our guide, William Betunga, a skilled and soft-spoken local resident who trained with the first group of rangers back in 1991, gave us the rules: We must stay together, we must be quiet when told, and we must never get within 15 feet of a gorilla; also, no eating, drinking, smoking or flash photography near the gorillas. And no one with a cold. Viewing time would be limited to one hour. Bwindi gorillas must not be stressed or contaminated.
We set out bravely, traipsing up a narrow path hacked out of waist-high grass. I seemed to be walking straight uphill -- and up and up and up, relentlessly, as the sun beat down and the foliage grew thicker and more, well, impenetrable. At first I leaned on a six-foot walking stick, but then found the firm hand and sure step of Emanuel, my gallant teen-age porter, who was also toting our lunch and water bottles in his backpack. Emmy's older brother Eli helped Lois along.
We scrabbled upward for an hour and a half, with increasingly frequent stops for breath and for water. Then we turned into the jungle itself. Slippery, fist-thick vines and hidden sinkholes made walking treacherous; harsh branches slapped my face. We heeded every warning: ''Careful, stinging nettles -- Watch your hands.'' ''Walk fast -- safari ants underfoot. Stomp your feet to clear them.'' ''Beware of wasps -- they can hurt.'' Half an hour more, and William announced: ''We're nearly there.'' He had brought us to the gorillas' overnight nesting place, which meant they were probably not far away. For 15 tense minutes, our trackers stalked the signs: a broken branch here, fresh dung over there. Snap! Could it be?
Suddenly, my fatigue vanished. There, through a tunnel of antediluvian ferns and moss, I saw my first mountain gorilla: a black, hairy ball quietly chomping on a branch. A surrounding symphony of rustling leaves and grunts and chest growls revealed that we were surrounded by at least a dozen animals, doing what they do naturally at high noon on a December day: eat, and rest. We humans displayed our own pattern of behavior, climbing, squatting, grinning, often ''shh-shhing'' each other and aiming our cameras at this most extraordinary sight. I watched one endearing juvenile that would not leave its mother's side; another thumped its chest in perfect King Kong style.
And then I saw the Silverback, the alpha male, the grand pooh-bah, an astonishing primeval mass of muscle bearing the patch of silver fur that marked his dominance. One swat of his immense, foot-wide hand could kill. He was a living, breathing bulldozer, thundering through the bushes with a clear sense of entitlement. Who would dare challenge a 400-pound hulk? Who would not cringe when he stood up on two legs, his six-foot height looking more like 60?
The rubbery black faces with their liquid eyes were surprisingly placid, but their strength was terrifying. One pulled down an entire tree, then picked off what must have been the most delicious shoots. Another climbed up a bush, then crashed to earth, inciting a ripple of giggles from its human kinfolk. A baby danced out on a limb, bouncing with the breeze.
The gorillas, shaggy buddhas with an air of wisdom, knew we were there, but didn't seem to mind, no doubt because they've been habituated by local trackers to tolerate human visitors. They allowed us to follow as they foraged across the mountain, and we deftly ducked the punishing tree limbs. We, too, had become a troop, traveling with them, attuned to their rhythm.
Too soon, our hour was up. Reluctantly, we withdrew and headed back down into impenetrability where, incredibly, the going was even more arduous. Now the trackers literally sliced our way home with their sharp ponga knives, until we reached a clearing where we stopped to have our picnic lunch. We also took time to consider the amazingly intimate spectacle we'd just witnessed, a rare privilege. Since no mountain gorillas are in captivity anywhere (their more common western lowland cousins are the ones you've seen in most zoos), we had joined a very exclusive club.
BACK at camp -- after a vertical plunge that took another hour and tortured a whole new set of muscles -- we were welcomed and congratulated. Lois and I certified our success by buying ''I tracked the gorillas'' T-shirts. Then, emboldened by our triumph, we promptly arranged another hike for the following day -- a far easier walk through the nearby forest, where we would find the chocolate butterfly, along with three waterfalls, countless species of birds, an amazing army of ants and a host of giant plants, progenitors of the versions we grow on our windowsills. Among them: philodendron leaves so enormous villagers use them as umbrellas. Alfred told me later he once saw gorillas carrying the leaves as protection from the rain. Mountain gorillas with umbrellas? Just another detail -- one of the countless images that make Uganda such a revelation.
Planning a rugged trek
Before You Go
Permits to track mountain gorillas are available from the Uganda Wildlife Authority and a number of travel agencies. They should be obtained at least six months ahead, and cost $250 a person (the fee helps officials protect the gorillas' forest home). Reliable agents can be found through the Uganda Tourist Board's Web site, www.visituganda.com, or by E-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com. For a brochure, E-mail carefree.tvl@dial
We were quite satisfied with Let's Go Travel, Plot 19, Cooper Road, Kisementi, Kampala, telephone (256-41) 346668; E-mail letsgo@swift
uganda.com. Our trip included a four-wheel-drive vehicle and driver ($1,300 for 10 days), essential in this land of rugged roads and few signs.
No visa is needed, but you must take precautions against malaria and yellow fever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site, www.cdc.gov, has details.
Choosing the right clothing is crucial: Besides the obvious long pants and cotton tees, you'll need sturdy hiking boots, a long-sleeve shirt, garden gloves, hat and protection against insects and the sun. Also, carry cash -- preferably Uganda shillings. You must pay entry fees to every park in Uganda, although prices are not steep ($15 a person a day at one park). Also, porters and guides prefer tips in local currency.
Getting There
All trips to Uganda start at Entebbe, the international airport about 40 minutes from downtown Kampala. Direct flights are available from London, Paris and Brussels; or you can connect with frequent flights from Nairobi.
Where to Stay
At Bwindi, we enjoyed Abercrombie & Kent's Gorilla Forest Camp; telephone (256-41) 266703, fax (256-1) 266701 in Kampala. The twin-bed tents were very comfortable, with a wooden floor, flush toilet and showers filled with hot water by very prompt porters. Cost with full board: $250 a night for two. Other accommodations, most of them less luxurious, are also available.

Califone this week debuted its new Listening First headsets, featuring built-in microphone and kid-friendly design, created for use by kindergarten, primary grade, and special needs students.
The adjustable, kid-sized headsets—available in three color and three animal-theme designs—come with ambient noise-reducing earcups made of ABS plastic and dual 3.5 mm, USB and single To Go plugs, for use with computers or mobile devices. The headset's microphone includes reinforced boom.
"The Listening First headsets were developed in response to how younger students are learning using computers and mobile devices with classmates, in read-alongs, online and through their production of podcasts and videos," said Tim Ridgway, vice president of marketing for Califone, in a prepared statement from the company. "There was a need based on these activities for age-appropriate equipment."
The Listening First headsets come with a two-year warranty. Additional information about the devices can be found at the company's Web site.

American culture seems to hate downtime. If you're not productive, if you're not creating-doing-working-grinding, well, what good are you? We're Puritan workaholics and people like to wear that like a badge. "I'm so busy," we say to people. "I'd love to join you, but I'm swamped, I'm tired, I'm buried." Why do we find it so hard to relax, unwind, recharge? Do you feel like this? I know I do. Lately, I've been pretty unproductive and it's inspired me to busy my mind with new thoughts of entrepreneurship and business opportunities. Once I get those gears turning in my brain, though, I get wound up and I'm preoccupied and I lose sleep. It's counterproductive. What I really need is time to recharge. I'm still figuring out what that means.
It's finally summer here in Chicago and I'm trying to do something I've done very little of in my life: sunbathe. I'm a pretty pale guy and have spent a lot of time avoiding the sun. But I've discovered that if I do get out and get some sun I feel so much better. It must be all that Vitamin D the sun provides. After a winter that never wanted to end, getting outside and catching some rays rejuvenates me. This morning I had a bit of a headache that wouldn't go away; so, come lunchtime, I made my way to the park and laid out. The headache disappeared immediately.
I've also come to the realization that in past 5 years, I have written very little. Historically, I've been a writer. I've got an MFA in writing. Ever since being in Chicago, my output has diminished. Writing for me is cathartic; it gets something out that needs to be gotten out. And it's been so long since I've allowed it to flourish. I write infrequent blog posts but I don't write much of anything beyond that.
So how does this all relate? Somewhere down the line I think I lost sight of things that are truly important to me. I've focused on earning a living rather than the things that make me feel good about myself. I earn this money in a good, steady, stable day job and it doesn't make me any happier. It doesn't make me feel like I do laying in the sun. It just tires me out. Everybody tells me it's good but it sure doesn't feel good.
Life can't just be about laying in the sun and feeling good. We've got to work in some capacity. But your work can be fulfilling. It can fill you with happiness. It can rejuvenate you. It can exhaust you in a positive way, not in a grinding, only doing it for the dollars, sort of way. I feel this need to recharge but the definition of it escapes me. What I'm coming to understand is that the longer you walk down the wrong path, the more tired you become and the farther away this notion of recharging gets. How do you ever get your head above this murky water?
As cliche as it sounds, you've got to be true to yourself. If you won't allow this of yourself, nobody will. At the most basic level, you're responsible for your own happiness and it's the choice you make that dictates whether you live a fulfilling life or a grinding life. It's a choice every step of the way. I don't want to feel like I need to recharge any longer because just lying around, relaxing, being unproductive doesn't truly recharge me. There's something else out there.
