One of rock group Queen's most famous early concerts is to be released as a CD, DVD and Blu-Ray 40 years after it was recorded in London.
"Queen: Live at the Rainbow '74" chronicles the then-up-and-coming band onstage at the fabled venue and features over a dozen tracks never previously released on any official Queen live album.
The concert came days after Queen were invited to perform their new single "Seven Seas of Rhye" on U.K. TV music show "Top of the Pops" after David Bowie had to pull out of an appearance at the last minute.
The TV slot helped Queen sell out The Rainbow, and producer Roy Thomas Baker opted to film the show and record it for a planned live album.
However, the gig served as the group's launch into the big time – and they put" Queen: Live at the Rainbow '74" on hold to record breakthrough album "Sheer Heart Attack."
A spokesperson for Eagle Rock Entertainment, the company behind the new release, said "As a result the already completed Rainbow live album was shelved and consigned to the archives. Now, a remarkable 40 years later, 'Queen: Live at the Rainbow '74' has finally surfaced, providing an invaluable record of emerging superstars demonstrating their talent."
The project will be released in September in a variety of formats, all newly mixed and mastered.
These range from a standard two-CD package, a DVD, an SD Blu-ray, a gate-fold double vinyl, a quadruple vinyl boxed set, and a super deluxe collector's edition, which features two CDs, a DVD and Blu-Ray, a 60-page hardback book containing rare photographs, and various items of memorabilia such as reproductions of the tickets, show souvenir program and poster, as well as material from the band members' personal archives.
The track listing includes "Flick Of The Wrist," "Killer Queen," "Seven Seas Of Rhye" and "Stone Cold Crazy."
News of the release comes as Queen stalwarts Brian May and Roger Taylor prepare for a North American tour with Adam Lambert replacing the late Freddie Mercury as frontman.

depends who the assistants are.
Carrying the banner for ISU.

Once people get over the initial shock, they will get on board. Better get a good group of folks around him though or else....KABOOM
TJ and Nick Nurse better be with him.
no.. i could not handle seeing the guy fail.. cant risk it
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
I love it! He's a proven winner. He knows the game. He loves Ames and the Cyclones. He's got GREAT pro game connections. He'll do a great job.
In 4 years when we have to fire him, it's going to tear this fanbase apart.
I don't think it will work but he certainly has my support.
Billy G wanted the ISU job, we gave it to Fred? No wonder we are Iowa State. We let emotions get the in the way of common sense while making decisions

Proven winner? Did he coach some youth league flag football team or something? He has ZERO coaching experience. NONE!!!!!!!!
So a former Cyclone legend takes the job although he has no experience and trainwrecks this program even further? I pray this is just a late April Fools Day prank.
This is a good hire for the fans, but anyone outside of the cyclone family, recruities, etc, eesh.
i hope he gets the job done. it would be terrible to have to part ways with him in 4 years.
Awful. Thompson says we have guys who have taken multiple teams to the tourney, and we decide to roll the dice on a guy just because he played for ISU, but never once has coached ever? Im sorry but i would take ANYONE we've been discussing the past couple days before Hoiberg.

MIAMI (Reuters) – Former England soccer captain David Beckham announced on Wednesday that he is exercising his option to become the owner of a Major League Soccer team in Miami.
"This is a dream," the international soccer star said at an appearance with MLS Commissioner Don Garber at the Florida city's gleaming new bayfront art museum.
"This is an exciting time for myself and an exciting time for my family and my friends and my partners," Beckham added.
Garber called the decision a "historic day … for soccer in America."
A final deal to grant the franchise to Beckham's investment group could be several months away though, sources close to the negotiations said, with a stadium location and financing still requiring approval from the MLS board for his team to become the 22nd club of the top U.S. professional soccer league.
The mayor of Miami Dade, Carlos Gimenez, said negotiations for the stadium started last week.
"There's going to be a few bumps along the way, but we're going to make the team in Miami not just the best team in America, we're going to take the team global," Beckham told a reception for city leaders at Miami's performing arts center on Tuesday night.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, who also played for the Los Angeles Galaxy, retired as a player last May and holds a $25 million option in his MLS contract to start a new franchise.
Beckham is already in discussions with Miami-Dade county to possibly lease county-owned land for a 25,000-seat stadium.
"I have seen the atmosphere around the city," Beckham told the media Tuesday outside the reception, referring to scenes he witnessed last year when the city's basketball team, the Miami Heat, captured the National Basketball Association (NBA) championship.
"I saw the passion of the people for sport," he said, dressed in a sharp charcoal suit and tie.
Beckham, 38, arrived in Miami fresh from having attended Sunday's Super bowl in New Jersey, TV coverage of which featured a fit Beckham in an underwear commercial.
Beckham's investment group has narrowed its stadium search to five possible sites in and around downtown Miami, officials say, including a 25-acre waterfront lot next to the port of Miami's cruise ship terminals, potentially putting the new team at the forefront of Miami's tourism landscape.
MLS has stressed the importance of having a final stadium deal, along with a business plan, before it will approve a new team.
Beckham's group is not looking for public financing, but may need to negotiate site plans with the county, such as leasing the port location, to help build a privately financed stadium.
Beckham has toured Miami twice in recent months with British businessman and American Idol creator Simon Fuller, as well as Bolivian-born billionaire Marcelo Claure, founder of Miami-based Brightstar Corp, the world's largest wireless distributor and the provider of global services to Apple.
Beckham is also looking for a pad in Miami, although the London home he shares with his wife of 14 years, former pop star-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham, and their four young children, will remain the main family home.
"We are going to be spending a lot of time here," he told the media on Tuesday. "We are hoping to get our own place here as well."

That doesn't surprise me. Southern MO is wild. Cool pic.
We finally get us some elk in Missouri, and the mountain lions (that we don't have ) are already killing them.. Next thing you know, we're gonna have a herd of wolves down here too...
That doesn't surprise me. Southern MO is wild. Cool pic.
Why does Game and Fish or the DNR always deny that Mountain Lions and Wolves exist in areas where hunters KNOW that they do?
It probably has something to to with the fact that acknowledgement leads to management, and they would probably rather hold off on managing the species until there is a more defined population?
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.

It's simple: post race photos. Get started!
Very nice, snuff. Shapelike, good idea, and I really like the second and third ones you posted- showing the beauty of the area as well as the racing itself. How about a few from the B race the same day as Snuff's shots:
CX3 Start:
Making up Ground:
Spiral of Doom:
Man that's alot of tape.
Wife got this pic at my first race this year.
Saddlebags, yeah, you should have seen the whole course layout. There was a truly amazing amount of tape out there between the spiral of doom, the longer straight stretches, and the short zigzags in between them. It looked very cool fluttering in the breeze.
Yep, Charlie Storm outdid himself with that one :)
BTW, Snuff, you'll really like this coming weekend's course. And by that I mean you'll absolutely hate it. Unless they change it a lot from last year, it has a long uphill dirt/mud grind- if you manage to ride it all the way up, you struggle to the very top... and find barriers so you have to dismount anyway. We cursed the course designers' names all day long last year.
Hey, I'm good with the long riding part. If I'm losing time anywhere it's through corner lines and dismounts!
leaping small dirt mounds in a single bound . . . St Louis Bubba #3 Spanish Lake (B race winner Dan Williams) . . .
billh- why were people dismounting and jumping that mound? Is there a barrier we can't see? The worn-in patch on the backside makes it look like people were riding over it...
It's an impressive stride, to be sure!
I'd say about 90% of the racers rode this one. However, to ride it without catching air and doing an endo (like me in practice), you have to slow quite a bit on the approach. First lap, we were bunched up and the guy in front of me started to apply brakes for the mound. I dismounted at pace and actually ran along side him as he looped over the mound, lost a little ground on the downside, but on remount was about even. I ended up running it about half of the time and riding it after I got dropped. An interesting obstacle. The other was a nice 180 ridable runup . . .
The PBR can on the mound adds that special something :D
they don't call it Bubba for nuthin . . . :)
some guys got in the Halloween spirit . . . audition for Cats?

This week I'm holding my 22nd spot in masters 35+ (didn't get lapped this week!). I pulled 9th in CX4.
Here's one pic taken yesterday (Sunday) at Estabrook Park in Milwaukee. More pics when I get my photo PC running again ( :o )
Your guys' cross races all look way too clean and tidy! Oregon cross is where it's at! :)
This was Barton last year:
...and this was Barton this year (yesterday, unseasonably dry)...
Here's one from Rainier a few weeks ago:
And a few from Horning's Hideout earlier this season:
Yeah, they have all been nearly bone dry this season... At least the ones I've been to. We had a 2-day "stage race" a couple weeks ago which had a little rain/drizzle and even a little hail, but it only made the course a little slick in sections, no real mud.

Eclipse Award winners for 2011 will be announced Monday evening, January 16 in Los Angeles. There aren't as many clear-cut winners going in as in most years, making for a more interesting evening and excitement among the winners. Votes from the NTRA, DRF and National Turf Writers and Broadcasters determine the winners.
Breeders' Cup championship day, as it should, goes a long way in deciding the outcomes of divisional championships. My Miss Aurelia, Royal Delta, Hansen, Amazombie and even Musical Romance all put themselves in highly prominent positions after winning 'Cup races. Of those winners, Hansen's category of Top Two-Year Old Male is getting the most ink in discussion of who's the champ.
What? Two-Year Old Male is easy. Hansen won it, earned it, deserves it. If he doesn't win, it's a travesty. His main competition is Union Rags, the heavy B.C. Juvenile favorite runner-up. Hansen has it all over Union Rags. Hansen's undefeated, Breeders' Cup champ, more money earned and beat his top foe with the title on the line. Union Rags is/did none of those things.
The 2011 Eclipse Awards are for achievement in 2011. Not for who might be the Kentucky Derby winter book favorite, who might be better next year, who would command more at stud, etc. Union Rags raced wide in his loss to Hansen? Yes he did but he also had an eighth of a mile or more to run down and Hansen and wasn't able to. Was Union Rags a good juvenile? He was tremendous and has a bright future. But, Hansen won the title for 2011 and looking back 50 years from now, the facts will be the same.
Another way to look at things is how would voters explain to the runner-up's camp, why their horse didn't win? If Union Rags would win, what do you say to Hansen's connections? With excuses - "well, Union Rags woulda-coulda-shoulda won the Juvenile if he didn't race wide". Or, "Union Rags is a better horse." Really? If Hansen wins, it's an easy explanation to the 'Rags camp - Hansen won head-to-head on championship day, is undefeated and earned more money.
Votes for anybody but Hansen are incorrect. There's only one choice for Top Two-Year Old Male of 2011. - Joe Withee, Director of Broadcast Media2011 Finalist List

SWARTHMORE -- Jo, Meg, Marmee and all the rest of the March family opens tonight at the Players Club of Swarthmore as "Little Women" goes from the page to the stage. This adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's story will run through Dec. 8 at Players Club.
"Little Women" is a much-treasured American classic that has been read by generations of young girls, and now audiences can enjoy the sisters' antics live onstage. The March family undergoes wartime privation, a father's absence and plenty of sisterly strife, but Alcott makes it all sound like breathless fun. Following on the success of their production of Anne of Green Gables in 2010, the Players Club of Swarthmore continues to bring classic books to the stage.
Written in the Alcott family home at Orchard House (in Concord, Mass.), the story follows the lives of four sisters -- Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy March -- and is loosely based on the author's childhood experiences with her three sisters.
Adapted by Peter Clapham, this theatrical version recreates many of the events from Alcott's book, while honoring the tone of her writing. Players Club of Swarthmore Director James Carroll has assembled a cast of gifted young area actresses to play these iconic roles.
Tackling the central character of Jo is Jenna Glazier; Hannah Kohute, Megan Hindmarch and Sara Prendergast play Amy, Meg and Beth respectively.
Players Club stalwart Jennifer Wolfe plays Marmee -- the girls' loving mother, with Janean Clare (another long-time Club member) as the irascible Aunt March. Rounding out the ensemble are Alex Yurcaba as Laurie, Joseph Cartagena Jr. as John Brooke, Ben Kendall as Mr. Laurence and Stephen Kelly as Mr. March.
Performances are tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m.; Thursday, Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m.; Friday, Nov. 30, and Saturday, Dec. 1, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. with a post-show "Meet the Artists" conversation.
This will also be the theater's PhilAbundance weekend -- bring a nonperishable food item and get $1 off your ticket price. There will be shows Thursday, Dec. 6, at 7:30 p.m. and Friday, Dec. 7, and Saturday, Dec. 8, at 8 p.m.

Leaving no stone unturned when creating the Dyna-Sys range of 10 speed components, Shimano designed a whole new chain from the ground up. The end result is their first ever range of MTB specific chains. The zinc plated chain is directional, meaning it needs to be oriented in the manner specified by Shimano for best performance. A standard 10 speed compatible chain tool can be used for installation.
Looking for a compatible chain tool? We got that!
No problems after a year. Would recommend a KMC quick chain connector for easy installation and cleaning. Used with a full XT drive train and it shifts well and has lasted.
Excellent chain, it never get rust!!
This chain shifts amazing, and has held up very well for me so far. I've read about chains breaking on the installation link, but I put this together with a KMC Missing Link, so I'm not worried about that. Assuming the life is reasonable, I'll continue to purchase one of these at the start of each season.
Great chain for the price. Works great with the DynaSys 10 speed system as you would expect. Its a bit heavier than some of the high end chains, but I'll sacrifice a few grams for Shimano quality and durabilty.
The bottom line with these chains for me is: The initial shifting performance is excellent if you are using a Shimano drivetrain. The problem is after a while these chains wear significantly faster than rival chains like KMC. I had three of these chains (including the one that came stock on my bike). The first one broke at the installation link, which I will accredit to poor installation by the bike factory. The second one lasted half a season before my chain checker said it was stretched beyond tolerance, and the third one lasted the second half of the season before it too was worn - along with my cassette and chainrings. On the bench, I believe nothing shifts better than a Shimano chain with Shimano drivetrain. Unfortunately in the real world, they just don't last compared to the cheaper KMC's I can buy, which is why I give it 3/5.
Great Chain Works Good with Shimano XT Drive Train
So far so good. Shifts well, cleans well.....just hope it holds up but I have no reason to expect it not too.
best chain i`ve used,last longer than an xtr and much cheaper. a tad heavier but worth it to me on the durability.
Snapped on the first ride. The Shimano chain pins are much less user-friendly than a SRAM power link.

A prized bicycle actor Paul Reubens refused to sell in 1985 movie "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure" has been placed up for auction online.
The red and white beach cruiser, one of the bikes featured in the film, has been listed on eBay.com and the current owner is attempting to lure buyers by handing over an autographed photo of Reubens and a letter of authenticity from studio bosses to prove it's the real deal.
However, any prospective buyers will need to assemble the item after the seller confessed in the posting, "Its (sic) in pieces now, but everything is there."
He purchased the bike in 2010 for $10,000 and listed it with a starting price of $8,000.
The auction ends on Thursday evening.

2010 State of Logistics: Make your move
July 15, 2010
During World War II, the U.S. Navy enlisted world champion chess player Reuben Fine to calculate—on the basis of positional probability—where enemy submarines were most likely to surface. Years later, Fine was asked about the project's outcome, and modestly replied: "It worked out all right."
While logistics managers may not be consulting with chess masters these days, they are posing one big question to economic theorists willing to take it on: Is "The Great Freight Recession" finally coming to an end? Analysts and industry insiders are telling us that things are indeed getting better for shipper organizations, but that the tenuous business climate and tightened credit controls will make it difficult for carriers to rapidly expand capacity for the remainder of 2010. The shipper imperative, then, will be to collaborate with carriers like never before. With capacity tightening, a new urgency should be placed on mitigating risk and controlling cost.
The 21st Annual State of Logistics Report (SoL), released by the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP) and presented by Penske Logistics at the National Press Club last month, confirmed what many shippers had been suspecting. The worst may be over, but as the economy continues its slow recovery, shippers are going to be faced with an entirely new set of tactical challenges. "We are definitely seeing a recovery," says Rosalyn Wilson, the report's author, "but not the kind that will generate a lot of new business this year. Granted, shippers have already made a great many sacrifices—that shouldn't change suddenly in the short term."
Meanwhile, business logistics costs fell to $1.1 trillion, a decrease of $244 billion from 2008. Combined with the drop in 2008, total logistics costs have declined almost $300 billion during the recession. In fact, 2009 logistics costs as a percent of the nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP) hit a historic low at 7.7 percent.
"Both major components of the cost models declined in 2009," explains Wilson. "Inventory carrying costs fell 14.1 percent in 2009, and this decrease in carrying costs was due to both a 4.6 percent drop in inventories and a 10 percent drop in the inventory carrying rate." Transportation costs, she adds, plummeted 20.2 percent from 2008 levels. Trucking, which comprises 78 percent of the transportation component, declined 20.3 percent while all other modes combined declined 20.5 percent.

Video: Federal Workers Stand To Lose In Potential Shutdown
WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Congress has authority over District of Columbia affairs including its spending even though city officials say six billion dollars of their budget comes from locally generated funds.
The District's legislators say they are so fed up with the Congress imposing its political agendas on city folks that they are threatening to ignore an order-- if it comes-- to shut down federal and city agencies.
The D.C. Council says it will pass emergency legislation that re-classifies all city employees as "essential workers" meaning they can be exempt for a federal shut down.
City Attorney Irv Nathan says such a move by the Council would be a violation of federal law.
Councilman David Grosso says he would be willing to go to jail rather than keep city workers at home without benefit of a pay check.
Mayor Vincent Gray told WUSA9 that he and the Council would be in agreement on whatever action is taken during the Council's upcoming session on Tuesday.

Hong Kong : Michelin's recommendations
Squashed on to a cramped piece of land, and fragmented into a haphazard puzzle of islands, peninsulas and bays sheltered by steep hills, Hong Kong defies common sense. Nothing is ordinary in this flashy showcase for economic prosperity, with its contrasting landscapes and districts where high-rise tower blocks suddenly give way to unspoilt natural scenery; British Victorian-style buildings stand next to bold contemporary architecture; and Taoist traditions and feng shui survive in this modern, pragmatic world of finance. Chic, disconcerting and bustling with life – that's Hong Kong!

Would appreciate any opinions regarding favorite arrow rests for spot and stalk hunting out west?
I used prong style rests for years when only hunting whitetails from a treestand...in last year I've tried many rests (drop aways to whisker biscuit) trying to find the right one...yes, I'm picky.
Like for arrow to be held in place while stalking, quiet on draw, tunable/accurate. I've always had the "keep it simple" mentality which is one reason I haven't fallen in love with drop-a-ways yet and the moving parts...
Curious what others have used and why?

New Laws Require Interlock Devices for DUI Drivers
Sometimes, it takes the tragic death of a young victim of a drunk driving accident to convince legislators to enact effective laws against the dangerous practice.
Nevertheless, lawmakers sometimes feel they can honor a victim's memory by ensuring that similar accidents are prevented in the future. This phenomenon recently occurred in the Oklahoma state legislature.
According to KOCO news in Oklahoma City, the newly minted Erin Swezey Act aims to monitor drivers with prior drunk driving offenses by requiring drivers convicted of a DUI to have an ignition interlock system installed in their car for at least 18 months after their conviction.
In addition, drivers who arrested for a second DUI offense will have to have an interlock device in their car for four years after their arrest. Subsequent offenses will lead to a mandatory five-year period with limited driving abilities.
The law is named after Erin Swezey, who died in 2009 at the young age of 20 after she was struck by a drunk driver going the wrong way on an Oklahoma City turnpike. The drunk driver had previously been arrested multiple times for DUIs and other traffic offenses.
By passing the Erin Swezey Act, legislators hope that DUI offenders will no longer be able to get behind the wheel after drinking.
The ignition interlock devices mandated by the new statute act as a sort of gatekeeper to the car. When an interlock device is installed, a driver must blow into it in order for the device to determine the driver's blood alcohol level.
If the driver is sober, the car will start. If, however, the driver has been drinking, the interlock device will prevent the driver from starting the car.
The interlock devices are usually installed on a car's dashboard, and drivers who are required to have the devices will also have a special notification on their licenses about the interlock device requirement.
Typically, interlock devices prevent driving if the driver blows between a .02 and .04. In Oklahoma, drivers are eligible for a DUI arrest if they blow above a .06.
While Oklahoma has been relatively late to join the interlock device movement, statistics compiled by the federal government show that the devices have a profoundly positive impact on the prevention of drunk driving.
According to the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, interlock devices have been able to reduce repeat DUI offenses by roughly 67 percent. In addition, the federal agency claims that the devices have reduced DUI fatalities by nearly 30 percent.
These figures certainly seem convincing, but they actually may understate the benefits of interlock devices. In Arizona, state officials say that their new interlock program has cut DUI fatalities by more than 50 percent.
Oklahoma officials hope that the Erin Swezey Act, which takes effect this week, will have a similar impact.

REGIONALREPORT WesternBummer crop
How important are apples to Henderson County? A red-skinned beauty is prominently featured on its logo. Even more noteworthy is the $28 million the crop generated for Henderson farmers in 2011. So a late freeze that ruined between 70% and 80% of the harvest this year worst since 1955 was particularly damaging. There are many orchards that have no apples at all. I have several that are that way, says Adam Pryor, president of Blue Ridge Apple Growers Association. His family owns Hilltop Farms in Hendersonville. Countywide, its not unrealistic to think of about a $10 million loss.
A spike in prices due to an East Coast apple shortage will lessen the loss. Marvin Owings, director of the N.C. Cooperative Extension in Henderson, predicts juice and processing apples will jump about 100% per pound from last year, and fresh produce will go for $20-$40 a bushel, up from $18-$29. Some of the prices were hearing are some of the highest weve ever seen, he says. We just dont know the fallout until the end of the season.
But the state will produce fewer apples. Packagers will need to bring in more from Pennsylvania the lone East Coast state not significantly hurt by weather to meet retail demand. The North Carolina Apple Festival, which draws more than 200,000 to Hendersonville over Labor Day weekend, will have less variety and quantity. Pryor adds that Henderson markets will run out sooner than usual this season, which goes until October. I would not wait very long.
FOREST CITY Valley Fine Foods will open an East Coast manufacturing plant here, creating 305 jobs within three years. The Benicia, Calif.-based company makes gourmet pasta dishes such as ravioli, tortellini and gnocchi. Average annual salary will be $31,636, higher than Rutherford Countys $29,172.
JEFFERSON Denver-based Gates Corp. will close its hydraulic tubing plant here by Sept. 8, laying off 83 workers. The closure comes as the industrial engineering and manufacturing company consolidates plants.
ASHEVILLE A judge ordered former Bank of Asheville President George Gordon Buddy Greenwood to pay more than $9 million in restitution after being convicted on fraud charges earlier this year and sentenced to four years in prison (Regional Report, June). Nearly $5.9 million is to be paid to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. as the receiver for failed Bank of Asheville and about $3.3 million to Queens Gap Holding Co., which was building an upscale housing development and golf course.

GWAR -- Austin, TX -- October 26th, 2013
I arrived at the venue at...roughly 7:30 and went to grab my Nightstalker wristband. With a few minutes to kill, I got into the first few minutes of Zombex - and saw the short I was an extra in for the first time (Kat Candler's "Black Metal"); I thought it was pretty good), and then went over to Emo's to catch Goatwhore. Goatwhore, as usual, slayed live, and Sammy's onstage banter before the set (asking the audience to check his mic for him by shouting "rape" and "fuck", most notably) got the audience cracking up. The pit was near non-existent for the entire set up until Apocalyptic Havoc got everyone to lose their shit, and I got my head elbowed open pretty goddamn hard, so for the rest of the night (at least until GWAR made me red and blue), people were telling me how realistic my head wound was...
An End to Nothing
In Deathless Tradition
The All Destroying
Judgement of the Bleeding Crown
Parasitic Scriptures of the Sacred Word
Sky Inferno
When Steel and Bone Meet
Apocalyptic Havoc
Seeing as the Goatwhore set knocked the shit out of me, I didn't feel like sticking around for Whitechapel, so I ran over to the sandwich shop next door and grabbed some food and much-needed water. I did catch part of their set when I got some merch from Goatwhore later on and from what I heard, this sounds about correct:
Make It Bleed
Section 8
I, Dementia
Possibilities of an Impossible Existence
Vicer Exciser
The Darkest Day of Man
This Is Exile
During most of the Whitechapel set, I spent my time wandering around the beer garden, where I started talking to some band about how the mosh pit was an analogy for some kind of physics involving free radicals...or something, before I went off and randomly ran into Phil Anselmo, who was wasted as shit and stumbling around in the beer garden, talking to his fans while his bodyguard tried to move him out of the area. I told him about how Pantera and Down were bands that got me into metal and all that groovy shit, and he told me something like:
"Yeah man, Down's pretty fuckin' cool and all, but the fuckin' chicks love the fuckin' early days man..."
I laughed and got a picture with him. A friend I was chilling with told him hello, and all he got before the bodyguard shoved (literally!) everyone away was a drunken "...phone calls with bananas...". No context, nothing.
...so that's our Phil story.
Literally two minutes later, we were walking back to the venue when I broke my concentration with my friend and his conversation to blurt out a "Holy shit, it's King Buzzo!" No fucking joke, Buzz was just chilling before the show, and in hindsight, I can imagine how crazy it'd look if a fan randomly came up to you talking about the show you played two months ago and all your typical fan conversation topics.
He takes this all in and just asks me one thing:
"...that blood isn't real, is it?"
When he found out it was, he started giving me some advice about cleaning up the head wound and to avoid the pit to prevent any potential concussions from becoming worse. Good man. So with that, I got another picture, wished him luck that night, and I wandered back into the venue to wait for the Melvins to start playing.
Even for a forty-five minute rehash of the August setlist sans one drummer, the Melvins still kicked ass. Buzz was insanely focused on his instrument, Dale was pounding away on his drums as if he wished to destroy them, and Jeff kept taking swigs from a small bottle of Jim Beam on his amp. They ended the show with a cover of Graveyard by the Butthole Surfers, which made the (somewhat stale) audience lighten up a bit.
Hag Me
We Are Doomed
Sweet Willy Rollbar
A Growing Disgust
Let it All Be
Your Blessened
Night Goat
Graveyard (Butthole Surfers cover)
Fascists Eat Donuts
Finally, GWAR began to set up, and took to the stage to the sound of War Pigs as a tape intro about half an hour later. As usual, they were incredible live. Their stage show this time around included the meat grinder, three statues that spat blood (though only one was turned on), the Cuttlefish spitting blue goo every now and then, and a plot about someone named Mr. Perfect trying to kill GWAR to learn their secret to immortality, or something like that. Bonesnapper made several appearances, most notably to kill the new Pope, Justin Bieber, and the final appearance of Mr. Perfect. The band ended the show with two interesting covers and a whole lot of blood being poured on the front row. Afterward, I went about my tradition of making "blood angels" on the pools of blood and caught Attila Csihar's soundtrack to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari next door at Antone's. Somehow, the morbid scenery of the movie, combined with the trance I felt from the music playing (play the movie alongside a Sunn O))) record, and you'll get a general feel of what it was like) and freezing my ass off due to the GWAR blood cooling off, gave me a...rather trippy experience, to say the least.
TL;DR - night two of HHFF went really well.
Madness at the Core of Time
The Salaminizer
Hate Love Songs
Hail, Genocide!
Metal Metal Land
They Swallowed The Sun
Bring Back the Bomb
Pre-Skool Prostitute
Ham on the Bone
Jack the World
Let Us Slay
Battle Maximus
Happy Death-Day

1. Lighting. Take advantage of the dark and set the mood with lighting. Increase the amount of candles on the tables, light up pathways so no detail goes unseen and string lights across the dance floor.
2. Music. People become less inhibited and more relaxed after the sun goes down, so take advantage with e a great band or DJ to get everyone, even grandma, on the dance floor.
3. Late night snack. Offer something tasty to re-energize your guests a couple hours after dinner. Whether tray passed by servers in the final hour or handed out as guests depart, your guests will be grateful for a snack to satiate the appetite they've built up from all that dancing.

U.S. seaports manage change on their own
July 01, 2011
The Port of Long Beach, which has been promoting free market solutions to address air pollution concerns for some time, is celebrating the nation's Independence Day weekend by closing an irksome contractual loophole.
An older group of trucks not originally included in the port landmark Clean Trucks Program will be banned from port shipping terminals beginning today, July 1.
It should be noted that the Sierra Club and the Teamsters had nothing to do with this decision.
Since it began in 2008, the award-winning Clean Trucks Program has decreased drayage truck related pollution by 80 percent, two years ahead of schedule.
Significantly, this was done without union coercion or their would-be organizers.
About 500 "Class 7" trucks - smaller, less powerful rigs - will be barred from working at the port.
Beginning in 2008, the Clean Trucks Program has required the trucking industry to switch to newer, low-emission Class 8, heavy-duty trucks for shipping containers in and out of the port complex.
Today, more than 10,000 clean trucks, meeting stringent 2007 federal emission standards, service the Port. They account for 93 percent of the container traffic.
Class 7 rigs were not originally included in the Clean Trucks Program's progressive ban of older trucks because they were not typically used in container transport. But some companies began using them to move lighter loads, such as empty containers, as older Class 8 trucks were denied access to the port.
The Long Beach Board of Harbor Commissioners closed the loophole in January by including Class 7s in the Clean Trucks Program.
"Although the Class 7 rigs did not represent a big percentage of the drayage truck fleet there was still a matter of fairness to the trucking industry partners who got on board early and invested millions to buy cleaner, less polluting trucks," said port Executive Director Richard D. Steinke. "This renews our commitment to cleaning up our operations. Although air quality is much better than it was even just a few years ago, we will always be looking for ways to be greener."
The port estimates that about 500 Class 7 trucks with 2003 engine models or older will be banned from the Port starting July 1. Most Class 8 trucks with engines older than 2004 were banned at the start of 2010.
Beginning January 1, 2012, all drayage trucks will have to meet the 2007 federal emission standards.

One of my Team members got a bricked Wii during editing our CFW 4.0 (he forgot to delate the second ticket and tmd) and we noticed that with 3-Party Controllers the rescue menu doesnt start.Dont know if this will be for every 3-Party Controller but we only got the Rescue Menu to Boot with a Original GC Controller.
This is a TUT to unbrick your Wii with the internal Rescue Menu. You can do this with and without Starfall.
Without Starfall you have to MOD a GC Controller to press all 4 ways of the digi pad to same time and you need a Original Game Disc with a update on it, higher as your installed FW. If you have a Modchip set to autoboot disc´s than you can use a backup instead of a Original disc. For Starfall you dono need to MOD your GC Pad.
And you could use Backups if the disc size will match the 4,37GB. I self have testet the semi unbrick disc but it does not work without a modchip. There for I made the "Universal Unbrick Disc" becouse the disc will match the 4,37GB and it hase the FW 3.3 update + the WAD Manager as main.dol in the game partition.I will show you how to start both rescue menu´s, with an without starfall and i will use the universal unbrick disc with starfall to upgrade (unbrick) my Wii to FW3.3.
When you could use it?
If you run into a brick and your Wii does not start the menu any more but will boot (green led and spinning drive) you have a good chance to be able to start the Wii internal rescue menu to install a FW update or the system menu.wad + IOS via WAD Manager what will unbrick your Wii if you lucky. If your Wii does not boot any more than your only chance will be Nintendo or a pre-dumped NAND image of your consoles flash chip.
Lets start with the normal Recue Menu Methode:
Open up your GC pad useing a triwing scruew driver.Before you open the pad turn around than open it.
Take the digi pad part of and in the center cut of the nipple.On my picture it will be allready cuted of.
Put all back together and connect it to port 4. The next step will be a little bit tricky. You need the correct timing to boot into
the Rescue Menu. Under FW 3.2 you will see nothing more than a blank black screen. On FW 3.2 and higher you will see a FW x.x down in the
right corner. Here a Vid of booting the Rescue Menu with normall method:
The Starfall Rescue Menu Methode:
To use this you must have installed the Starfall rescue menu hacks.Than just connect the GC pad to port 1 and press "Y" duoring bootup. Hier a Vid of it in action:
Unbrick your Wii:
Now we know both methodes i will go on and upgrade my CFW 3.2 Wii with my Universal Unbrick Disc to a FW 3.3 Wii.
Hier the Vid:
As you can see it hase not installed the update but started the WAD Manager.Even better becouse you could choose the wad you want to install!
My Universal Unbrick Disc will be set to autoboot and i forgot that this will disable the update and directly load the main.dol from the second partition.
This works on my Softmodded Wii with CFW and Starfall installed.It should also work with a Modchip (even with no autoboot seted) and no Starfall installed.
Anyway with the WAD Manager you will be secured but i want to find a IOS to set the partition to load what will be present on every Wii. Becouse last time i haved a wii without the IOS35 what the second partition of the uud will be load and i cant start the WAD Manager even the app reload the IOS249.
Before reloading IOS the IOS from the game partition must be present to be load into the ram.I will try it with IOS4 what will be the
update driver and present on every wii. If it works i will reupload the uud.
-Good Luck in Unbricking your Wii- :)

ATLANTA -- A new poll by 11Alive News confirms Georgia is a red state.
The poll conducted by Survey USA gives Governor Mitt Romney an 8-point lead.
RELATED | Is Sandy this election's 'October surprise'?
It shows Romney has 52 percent support, compared to President Barack Obama at 44 percent.
The poll includes close to 600 likely and actual Georgia voters who were questioned last week.
The poll shows men in Georgia are more likely than women to vote from Romney, but his support among both genders is at or above 50 percent.
If you look at race, there's a clear division.
According to the poll, 88 percent of black voters support President Obama, compared to 24 percent of white voters.
The president also has the edge with voters younger than 35.
When it comes to income, Romney has more support among those making $40,000 or more a year.
Plus, Romney picks up 54 percent of the Independent vote.
The poll also reflects what we've seen since early voting started two weeks ago, with 51 percent of Republicans and 48 percent of Democrats saying they've already cast their ballots.
"This proves what political scientists have said over time that if you make it easier and more convenient for voters, people will turn out to vote," said Andra Gillespie, associate professor of political science at Emory University. "So the fact that people are using this process, it's actually a really good sign of a healthy democracy."
In comparing this poll to an identical one conducted in July, both candidates have picked up two percentage points.
There are fewer undecided voters in the most recent poll.
It has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 4.2 percent.

Fatkid, awesome deer but your 1st picture has be baffled. Is he dead or alive in that picture? He looks alive.
Finally filled out on Nov. 29th. I'm not a fan of taking it down to the wire, so that morning was a relief.

Fatkid, awesome deer but your 1st picture has be baffled. Is he dead or alive in that picture? He looks alive.
Congrats fatkid and Elkoholic. Great looking bucks. Fatkid, I too am baffled by that picture? Any explanation?
Reckon I'll post a better photo of my buck while we wait for fatkid's reply. I too, am ultra confused by that pic.
Arise... Kill, Eat! - Acts 10:13
Looks like a full body mount to me
DIY til I DIE
I like that picture a little better Elkoholic...it looks much bigger!
well guys its like this it was a good cold nite here and lots of ice on him he got a little rigimortis . back in the dad when i was a kid me and my dad was gun hunting and i shot a doe . we hung it at deer camp and hunted the next day tho older guys there put sticks in between the legs to hold the chest open . well the next day we only hunted half a day before heading home like always . well two of the old guys took my deer down and stood it up by dads truck. so ever since then if we have to leave the deer over nite to get pics and such i leave it like that so we can get a pic of it standing . i feel its one of the best ways to get a pic with your deer . no guts or blood and makes it look so real. everytime i post a pic like this people always ask my buddys always kid me about shooting the family deer lol
That is a pretty cool pic.
I'm jealous! I have hunted whitetails a few times but it would be awesome to be able to hunt after work and buy tags over the counter. But in Nv that's not going to happen.
I stuck a nice doe Monday night after work, but still haven't filled my buck tag. Our archery season goes until the end of the year, and this is my favorite time to hunt, so as soon as we get a couple inches of snow I'll be looking for a nice buck.
Live to hunt, hunt to live.

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Tiger Woods struggled down the stretch over
the last couple days, but used a strong finish on Saturday to grab a 2-stroke
lead at the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Woods, who is seeking to become just the second player all time to win the
same event eight times and can become the world's top-ranked golfer with a
victory, fired a 6-under 66 during his third round to move into the top spot
on the leaderboard at Bay Hill Club & Lodge at 11-under-par 205.
Second-round co-leader Justin Rose bogeyed three of his last six holes to card
an even-par 72 and fall into a tie with Rickie Fowler (67) and John Huh (71)
for second place at 9-under.
Bill Haas also held a share of the lead entering the third round, but
struggled to a 1-over 73 to fall into a group of five players tied for fifth
place at minus-8.
He is joined by Thorbjorn Olesen (66), Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (68), Jimmy

An Adelie penguin couple with their nest of eggs on Ross Island, Antarctica.
Jean Pennycook, who has a background in education and is currently an Einstein Fellow at the National Science Foundation, observes and tracks Adelie penguin families at Cape Royds on Ross Island for her outreach project that she posts on the website penguinscience.com. Ross Island is a giant living laboratory where thousands of Adelie penguins converge in raucous crowds during Antarctica's warmer months to breed and rear their young.
Pennycook, who works on an Adelie penguin research team led by David Ainley, an ecologist with H.T. Harvey & Associates, brings the science and research of penguins and the adventure and beauty of Antarctica to classrooms around the world. She makes the science accessible to people of all ages through an interactive webpage, daily pictures from the field and classroom activities for teachers to engage their students in the lives of these remarkable birds.
Ainley's team is researching how penguins are coping with a rapidly changing climate and changes caused by commercial fishing. The team monitors the birds with an array of high tech equipment including computerized weigh bridges, satellite telemetry and microchips to identify individual penguins. With these tools the team is examining how penguin resources (prey and habitat), competition (among themselves and with other species such as whales) and climate factors (wind and sea ice conditions) are affecting their populations. In addition to advanced technology, 55 years of long-term research conducted at these colonies has made the Adelie penguin one of the world's best-studied wild birds, and, lately, a harbinger of environmental change.
Ainley's research is funded by the National Science Foundation. (Date of Image: unknown) [Image 2 of 24 related images. See Image 3.]

Manassas, VA -- Eight plainclothes police officers carrying guns were asked to leave the Buffalo Wild Wings in Manassas, VA because of its "no guns" policy.
Now, the restaurant chain has issued an apology and more. Regional Manager Philip Rossi says the company has a good relationship with the community and welcomes all law enforcement officers, with or without guns.
Rossi says the manager knew they were officers when he asked them to leave. The officers were all wearing identification. The problem, Rossi says, is that the manager didn't realize the company's "no guns" policy excluded police officers, even plain clothes officers.
The restaurant has put up blue and white balloons in support of police and has pledged to donate 10 percent of today's sales to the non-profit Law Enforcement United which helps the children of fallen officers.
Prince William County Officer Jarad Phelps came to the Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch today, but also to thank them for the donations and their apology.
Phelps, speaking as an individual says about the mishap, "Thought it was a mistake, that's all. It's one of those unfortunate things that happens."
Customers we talked to feel the same way and appreciate the restaurant's pledge of support to Law Enforcement United.
"That's fantastic. I mean that makes sense. That's the way a good company responds. They knew there was something wrong and they wanted to make an effort and I think that makes sense."
It used to be illegal for non-law enforcement to carry a gun into a restaurant in Virginia. In 2010, lawmakers reversed that, requiring that people carrying guns don't drink alcohol in the establishments. However, restaurants can have their own "no guns" policy, like Buffalo Wild Wings does.
Joy Diaz says she likes the no guns policy and wishes more restaurants would have it. She says it makes her uncomfortable seeing someone carrying a gun because there's been a lot of crime around and, "you never know."
However, she's fine if she

Vines & Vittles: The Smoky Clucker is a coop de grâce
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The ubiquitous chicken. It's probably the most overused and abused protein in the civilized world and yet, when prepared with a little imagination, that little feathered critter can be transformed into a culinary lip-smacker.
Chicken is the Rodney Dangerfield of meats: It gets no respect. Yet it is one of the world's most versatile foods, and can be cooked in a mind-boggling number of ways.
And with a little creativity, the bird can be married to a wide variety of both white and red wines.
However, cooking the meat of the chicken in a minimalist manner with token spices (say salt and pepper) can result in a dish that is best paired with tepid water. Regularly consuming chicken prepared this way may cause you to start watching C-SPAN's coverage of congressional proceedings for hours each day.
Do not fear, loyal wineauxs! As you may know, I have an affinity for outdoor cooking and an addiction to smoky and spicy foods. The recipe I am going to impart to you today will have you clucking for joy.
While the usual accompaniment to chicken is white wine, this recipe requires a red. Here are two choices for your consideration that will leave you smiling.
2007 Terra d'Oro Amador County zinfandel ($18): I admit my fondness for Amador County zinfandel, and this one has what I love most about wines grown in that hot and dry area two hours east of Napa. Rustic and earthy, the aroma is a combination of teaberry mint and chocolate while the blackberry and cola flavors make this a great match to spicy, smoky foods.
2010 Concannon Selected Vineyards petite sirah ($12): This blend of Central Coast vineyards' petite sirah is full-bodied with a flavor profile of plums and black cherries. Nicely balanced and rich, this has an excellent value to quality quotient and is a tasty pairing with the chicken dish.
We'll start with a whole fryer, which is a relatively small and young chicken. I recommend you ask the butcher to remove the backbone of the fryer so it will be able to better absorb the brine, accommodate the special rub and cook quickly. Here goes.
The Smoky Clucker
1 plastic gallon bag
1 quart water
8 ounces dry white wine such as sauvignon blanc
6 cloves garlic, chopped finely
1/3 cup kosher salt
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 3- to 4-pound chicken (fryer) with the backbone removed
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 ounces canola oil
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
PUT the brine ingredients in the plastic bag and stir to mix.
PLACE the chicken into the bag, seal and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.
REMOVE the chicken from the plastic bag, pat dry and lay it on a cutting board.
PLACE the contents of the rub in a bowl and mix together, making a paste.
RUB the paste all over chicken, placing some under breast and leg quarter skin.
MAKE a charcoal fire and spread coals to either side of grill for indirect cooking. Or, heat one side of a gas grill so chicken can be cooked indirectly.
PLACE the chicken so it lays spread-eagle on the grill but not over the coals.
COVER the grill and cook 45 to 50 minutes.
ALLOW the chicken to rest for 15 minutes, cut into pieces and serve.
