I am wondering why in "There's no point in doing that" we use the preposition in but in "There's no reason to do that" we use the preposition to?

The short answer is that in this case to is not a preposition—it's an infinitive marker, which tells you that the immediately following verb is to be construed as an infinitive.
However, with the gerund (doing in your example) or any other nominal you may use either preposition: There's no point in flying = There's no point to flying. in is far more usual, but to is unremarkable.
EDIT OP asks how we may know that to is an infinitive marker in no reason to do that.
First, any preposition requires a nominal—a noun, a pronoun, a gerund, or a noun phrase—as its object.
Consider then the following sentences. (In order to keep the constructions parallel I start with instances of prepositional to with reason, a usage which is uncommon today, but acceptable.)
We must parse to as an infinitive marker on do and employ the two together to produce the acceptable sentence To do that is irrational.
This question conflates two separate distinctions, that need to be addressed separately to gain any clarity:
A. There's no
The nouns point and reason produce the different prepositions in and for. I'd submit that, on the one hand, the point (end purpose) is presumed to be found contained within the doing of something, in the sense that it (the end purpose) should emerge as a result of the act of doing. On the other hand, the reason (motivation) is something that comes from you, not from the doing itself, but which you hold out for the act of doing.
B. There's no reason
As StoneyB's answer points out, the forms of the verb here imply a subtle semantic difference. (Note that I'm deliberately using reason in both sentences here, in order to isolate the difference produced by the verb forms.) On the one hand, the gerund form doing of the verb, combined with the preposition in, implies a present tense, as if the doing were underway. The word reason in this context takes on the meaning of sense, as in, there is no sense, no sound thought contained in the doing of this.
On the other hand, the infinitive to do connotes a future tense (it denotes atemporal, but we read it as a doing yet to come); and reason in this context again takes on the meaning of motivation or justification. There's no justification for undertaking the doing of this.
This brings me back to for doing, which, in combining the gerund form of the verb doing with the preposition for (which, remember, I also identified as connoting justification), implies a judgement for a doing that is already underway (or on the precipice): there's no reason for doing this is a disapproving judgement after-the-fact.

BRUNSWICK — The state veterinary licensing board plans to conduct a hearing on three complaints against Brunswick veterinarian Dr. Beatrice Turk.
The Ohio Veterinary Medical Licensing Board confirmed complaints on file that allege Turk inappropriately euthanized two animals in her care in March and provided improper medicines to a third animal in February.
According to hearing notices on the complaints, the board said Turk's care "fell below the standards of veterinary medicine."
Theresa Stir, executive director of the licensing board, said the hearing notices were issued April 11, following the board's monthly meeting on April 10. The hearing could result in a reprimand, or Turk's veterinary license could be suspended or revoked.
Turk practices at Countryside Animal Hospital, 2909 Center Road.
Turk and the animal owners who filed complaints against her did not return calls seeking comment Friday.
The first complaint alleges Turk administered Rimadyl and methyl prednisolone to a dog named Bailey on Feb. 27 within a short time of each other, and there was no evidence of a radiograph taken of the dog or a diagnosis offered.
The board said medical records were "insufficient" and cautioned against using the two drug treatments together.
The second complaint alleges that on March 17 a cat named Bobbie was euthanized without proper sedation.
The board looked at medical records of the cat's care and found that the cat was not sedated properly to be administered a cardiac stick for euthanasia.
The board received a similar complaint regarding the euthanasia of a dog named Honey Pot on March 21.
Cardiac sticks can be used to euthanize animals, but it's important to heavily sedate the animal first, said Stephanie Moore, executive director of the Medina County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"We were taught that you never, ever, ever do a heart stick on an animal that's not properly sedated," she said. "You check their eyelids and squeeze the pads of the feet to make sure there's no pain sensation."
Moore said the procedure involves injecting a large needle directly into the animal's chest.
"It can be painful, so it's only to be done if the animal is completely anesthetized," she said.
Turk has been asked to schedule a hearing with the board by May 11.
If she does not request a hearing, the board has the option to review the charges against her and decide whether to issue a reprimand or to suspend or revoke her license.

Wiltshire Skies
Trevor Davies
I travel widely around the beautiful county of Wiltshire for my work. I keep a camera in the car and stop to take photos when the view inspires me to. Almost all the photos have been taken from inside or close to the car, parked by the roadside.
Whilst the countryside is beautiful, I find it is increasingly the changing sky that makes a picture.
A small portion of the cost will go towards my daughter's fundraising to go on a World Challenge trip to Vietnam in 2011

My husband and I just got back from your resort a few weeks ago. We stayed for a week in #555 at the Poplar River. I just wanted to tell you what a WONDERFUL times we had at your resort. The rooms were EXACTLY how the looked online... actually, they were better! The room was so clean and the staff was all wonderful and helpful. I just cannot tell you what a great and memorable time we had. Thank you so much! We will be back next year and every year for our anniversary. Thanks again!" -- Katie, Orlando, FL
I did not get a chance to fill out the survey card before I left
wanted to tell you that my stay at the lodge was the best. I
have only stayed in one other lodge in all these years and was so pleased with the accommodations, the staff was great, the room wonderful. I have and definitely will continue to recommend the Lutsen Lodge to everyone. Thank you again for a most enjoyable stay. I hope to come again and stay. All the activities you offer we so impressive and fun, made my stay even better.
definitely would stay again & would be interested in
possibly purchasing a Lutsen Resort property. The dinning room experience was excellent - food was outstanding and so was the service. The BEST on the North Shore."

Charlie Daniels teamed up with Lipscomb University to host a very special free concert. CMT reported that Daniels brought the fifth annual "Scholarship for Heroes" concert to the Allen Arena on the Lipscomb University campus. Daniels launched the original Scholarship for Heroes concert in 2010.
Daniels created the event to celebrate military veterans and also raise money for the Veterans Yellow Ribbon education program and veterans' scholarships at Lipscomb University. Daniels happily said "This show just gets bigger every year as the Nashville community continues to show how much they love and support our military."
Daniels had a lineup set to keep the crowd going with performances from Kellie Pickler, Clint Black, the Grascals, the American Hitmen and the U.S. and Navy Band Sea Chanters all taking the stage. Lee Greenwood added to the night's performances by singing "God Bless the USA" to the crowd
Luke Bryan got on stage as a surprise guest. Bryan told the crowd "The sacrifices these veterans and their families have made help keep our country free" adding "We should take care of them in whatever ways that we can, and that includes a good college education."
Bryan kept his excitement going after the show by saying "This was great being onstage with Charlie." Bryan said "I've always dreamed of that, and I got to do it tonight, so it was fun. It's crazy being onstage with a living legend, and it was for a great cause, so we're glad to be here."
Black said "It's an honor to be part of something special like the Charlie Daniels' Scholarship for Heroes event" adding "We have to do our utmost to make sure the part we play in their history is worthy of their sacrifice and commitment. This event is playing a fantastic role, making higher education a reality for returning veterans. I'm thrilled to be a part of this special evening."

1 16 oz. package fettuccine noodles
1 pound fresh asparagus
2 red peppers
2 avocados
1/2 onion
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 balsamic vinegar
Fresh ground salt and pepper to taste
Bring a large pot of water and one smaller saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, chop asparagus into one-inch chunks. Dice peppers and avocados.
Cut the avocado into 1-inch cubes. Slice onion very thinly, then cut each thin slab in half and separate layers to create slivers. Whip oil and vinegar together in a smaller bowl; adjust ratio of vinegar to increase tanginess to desired level.
When smaller saucepan of water boils, add asparagus and cook for only two minutes–no longer! The water may not return to a boil, which is just fine. You want the asparagus to be quite firm. Drain asparagus, then place back in saucepan and cover to keep warm.
Cook fettuccine in large pot of water until it is al dente. Drain pasta, and then place in large bowl. Add vinaigrette to noodles and mix until noodles are thoroughly coated. Whip up more vinaigrette to add if you like. Add asparagus, peppers, avocado and onion. Fold mixture until vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the pasta.
Serves 6.

HTC 7 Pro with WP7 now available in the UK for £432
Since its official unveiling in the US, it was clear that the HTC 7 Pro would eventually be headed to Europe as well. In fact, the given time frame was 'early next year' – that's 2011 for you and me. So here we are, early this year, and the 7 Pro is already sold by O2 in Germany.
In the UK, no operator has picked it up yet, but that doesn't stop third-party independent online retailer Clove from launching it. They have it in stock as of now, and it costs £432, VAT included. For that price, Clove even throws in a free HTC Bluetooth headset (which is a £30 value).
So of the two QWERTY-packing WP7 devices out there, one has finally made it to the UK, while the other is endlessly delayed. Those in dire need of a QWERTY-equipped WP7 device in the UK will probably opt to go for the HTC 7 Pro with its more traditional form factor, rather than the Dell Venue Pro, which, aside from having a rare form factor, isn't even available. At least the WP7 market in the UK isn't dominated by full-touchscreen slabs/slates anymore.

Entering a Keller Williams crowd is always a specific experience. Those there for a good time have congregated around every possible square inch and when you are looking for a spot all to yourself, one almost never exists save for one certain place. In the back, near the soundboard, a light will shine and your moment becomes clear as what looks like a great opening presents itself. You saddle up along the wall, get ready for the show, when it suddenly dawns on you that your spot was too good to be true as you are planted directly behind the Freaker by the Speaker.
This is the guy or gal who has already had a good time, in fact the majority of their concert-going life was spent having such a good time, that the past rhythms and experiences are burnt into their consciousness forever. They dance to their own groove, they sing their own lyrics, and they have no idea why you are not on board. But they don't care; the freaker is simply unto itself until the show is over and those around are only along for the ride.
The Melodic
Opening the show was a British folk band dubbed The Melodic. The four-piece got into a few of their songs, coming off as less as saccharine than listening to a handful of YouTube snippets suggested. Those already predispositioned to dance enjoyed the band's light rock and gave the group a pleasant reaction. Either an ironic gesture or one quite on the nose, the band does sport a few weirder instruments including a melodica.The guy/girl harmony and marching bass with a touch of jazzy drums made for a sticky enough groove to dance to before the main event. The whole thing was harmless and when something is constructed to be harmless, it can be successful in the right setting.
Keller Williams
The Virginia native wants to play so bad that he starts strumming on his way to the stage. His bare feet skim across the laid carpet as he shimmers and spins his way to a dizzying stop. The show has begun before it even started and nobody is as relaxed or ready as Williams is. A menagerie of pedals, boards, loops, and doodads all built to serve his on-stage inspiration await those bare feet and nobody knows how to use them as well as the relaxed guitarist. With the tap of a spring or the brush of a pad, his guitar turns into a horn or something more abstract, like a guitar so wavey it sounds like it was built for Poseidon. At one point he had created so many layered loops that the only move he had left was to put everything down and just dance. Few artists marry the robotic perfection with the human element this well. He has certainly formulated his approach for each song when in the studio, but the live environment has little to no barriers.
By layering his vocals and creating a one-man BeeGees, Williams gives his songs a sort of singing metronome that let's him run wild on guitar. While a virtuoso by no means, the dude can shred, pick, and pluck with the best of them. He showed this by not playing a proper "song" for the first ten minutes or so and then a few stretches throughout, often letting the feeling of the moment take over the set.
When he did pick a cover to play, it started with "Scarlet Begonias" for the hippie faithful. With most songs, the first verse is a tease into something quite jam heavy but he stuck with it to the delight of the crowd. He kept the classic baseline looping in order to jump into Ani DiFranco's "Freakshow," teasing a bit of "Fire on the Mountain" at the end. It's not pandering if you know what you are doing and Keller was in complete control the entire time. Switching over to his personal tunes, a song like Kidney in a Cooler exemplifies what is great about his original material, straddling the goofy and poignant. Fans of Jack Black would find it easy to hop into the Keller universe, especially if acoustic guitar and comedy are your astrological signs..
In a moment of humble insanity, Williams asked the crowd for suggestions. Through the cacophony of suggestions, one lady took it upon herself to jump on stage and whisper her choice into his ear. Awesomely enough, he allowed her to do so before his stressed-out stagehand escorted her away. That song ended up being "Ninja of Love" and when it ended, it was the first time music had done so in over an hour and finally gave the audience a chance to applause in unison.
For one Thursday night, the Constellation Room did it's best Wakarusa impression and danced, smoked, and hollered their way through a non-stop Keller Williams show, something Southern California never gets to claim. And while there is always a freaker by the speaker, that's kind of the beauty of Williams. He isn't just lobbing perceptions from afar, unattached to his people. He used to be the audience he now draws and in some ways is their ultimate meta incarnation. Music for them, by them, done without a hint of patronization or embarrassment. It is that freedom and pure joy that creates the transformative and joyous occasion that is a Keller show.

Ron Weasley and his little pig trick or treating in the Historic John Dunn Shops
Every year the shopkeepers of the Historic Taos Plaza and John Dunn Shops decorate, costume up, and hand out candy to trick or treaters. It's one of the hightlights of our year. The town really turns out for this event and it feels like getting invited to the best costume party ever. We don't eat the candy we just like to be a part of the fun. When we get home we toss the chemical laden sweets and we make our own. Years past have included pies, caramel apples, art supplies, maple sugar candies and organic chocolates in trade for the junk.
The shopkeepers dress up too. This year we saw several women with sugar skull make up in traditional dress. They were my favorite this year.

Project Could Help Ease Local Housing Crunch
The housing crunch has been felt in Glasgow over the past few years. With the city growing slowly but steadily, a need for more housing will continue.
For access to this article please sign in or subscribe.
Recently, the Glasgow Planning Board approved a conditional use permit for an additional mobile home park that could help address the need. The new mobile home park will be located behind the Northern Lights Casino in Glasgow.
It took some time for the owner, Burt Johnston, to get all the requirements for the permit, but earlier in the month he was finally approved. The location was previously used for a mobile home park but has been vacant...

Say It Ain't So: Domino's Is New York's Most Popular Pizza?!
There's no way this is true, right? RIGHT?!
Huh. So a Chicago Tribune blogger investigates the "favorite dishes" listings on an online site that includes allmenus.com and campusfoods.com, writes a post titled, "The Most Ordered-In Foods of 2010? Really?" and suggests that New York's "favorite" dish to order from home is a Domino's cheese pizza. What?!
This is, of course, a mere fraction of the online sites folks use to order food — not to mention the telephone — but immediately our hackles are up. There are so many little slice shops peppering nearly every street in this town. How can Domino's be the most-ordered pizza?
So, we cast aspersions on this report — unless all Grub Street readers are secretly ordering Domino's online, night after night?
The most ordered-in foods of 2010? Really? [Stew/Trib]

I heard Nick's wife appear on the Dan Lebetard show today. She was personable and downright funny. I loved the moment where she told Dan that Nick plays the accordion.
Oh yeah, that would be great in team meetings.

Talisman Prologue Deluxe Edition
Talisman Digital Edition Gold - what\'s in it?
The description for "Talisman Digital Edition Gold" is exactly the same as for "Talisman Digital Edition Silver", which is completely unhelpful.
What's in the gold edition that justifies $45 more than the silver edition? Does it come with the physical board game? Is it a 4-pack of silver editions? Do they come to serenade me at my window?
According to their forum the Gold Edition will include all the future expansions for the game. So it's the game plus a DLC Season pass.
There is a difference stated in the description but there is a typo in the Gold edition. However the Gold Edition clearly states that it includes all expansions once they are released - like a season pass. That is why it is $45 more.
The descriptions were fixed since this morning. This morning, the description for the silver edition also said that it contained all future DLC, whence my confusion. When last I viewed them, there were no differences whatsoever between the descriptions for silver and gold. Glad it's fixed. Thanks for the replies.

Luke Oliver has revealed the secret behind his success this season – regular visits to a mind coach.
City's towering centre half swept the board at the club's prize night, where he was named player of the year as well as picking up five other trophies.
And Oliver paid tribute to the self-help guru who has helped him conquer any mental demons.
The defender has been seeing Cleckheaton-based John Muranka for the past 14 months since being introduced to him by Peter Taylor.
Former City boss Taylor had worked with a sports psychologist during his playing days at Tottenham and felt it helped his self-confidence.
Oliver admitted the visits to Muranka "struck a chord straight away".
He said: "It's a bit of a taboo subject in football talking about the mental side but I've definitely felt the positives.
"I went there with the intention of improving the consistency side of my game and it's paid off because that's what people keep complimenting me on.
"You learn not to be troubled by a bad game. You just move on to the next one. Seeing John goes hand-in-hand with the training and working with the gaffer on my heading and clearing.
"It helps when I prepare for the next game. I'm not stressing about it but the total opposite and it seems to have helped this season."
For Muranka, who has also worked with former British Superbikes rider Michael Pensavalle, it is a labour of love as a Valley Parade season-ticket holder.
He could sense the unlocked potential in Oliver from their first meeting.
Speaking exclusively to the T&A, Muranka said: "He was questioning everything I asked. There was a genuine interest in what I was saying even if he wasn't sure what to believe.
"Mind and body are totally linked. Something that affects us physically can also do so mentally and vice versa.
"You suddenly make a mistake in a game and start beating yourself up about it. Then your whole performance is affected.
"For some that can even affect how they play in the next game.
"But it's just one mistake. Everyone makes them, even Wayne Rooney.
"You have to learn that moment has gone. Live in the present and just think about making the next header or next tackle.
"The negative side of your mind comes out much easier than the positive. That's a natural thing that comes from deep in our own history.
"You have to work hard to bring the positive message through until it becomes habitual and self-perpetuating. That's what we've done with Luke.
"We meet after every three games and look at what's been occurring for him and what's gone on in his mind.
"The meetings have developed into quite long sessions which we both enjoy. Luke is such a humble, self-effacing guy.
"We all love our own football team and it's one of the joys of the job that people outside have noticed a difference in him."

Afternoon in paris (21 photos)

We recently styled a chic Afternoon in Paris for five-year-old Carla, a future fashionista if we've ever seen one.
Carla is away from her French homeland, so the we decided to bring the black, pink and white chic of Paris to her - we designed a custom invitation and party logo, including a hand-drawn portrait of the birthday girl, which we incorporated onto many of the designed items, including water bottle labels, backdrops and garland.
We created a cute little gift bag, using a simple black paper lunch-bag, a cake dollie and a satin pink ribbon. The gift bag contained an Eiffel tower cookie cutter and a cookie recipe card.

rock midgets home -> features -> interviews
Lloyd Carter (guitar) and Martin Smith (vocals) to find out their thoughts on their debut LP six months down the line and the trials and tribulations of life on the road
The release of debut long-player Come You Are Safe, We Are From The Bombs (Field Records) earlier this year was the successful upshot of years of hard graft from Leicester's Public Relations Exercise. Following highly successful tours with the likes of ex-Million Dead frontman Frank Turner and London hardcore mob Score One For Safety, you'd be forgiven for thinking that the widespread acclaim that was heaped upon the album upon its release would have left the five-piece feeling on top of the world (Click HERE for our glowing review). However, life has a terrible habit of throwing spanners in the works when you least expect it, and their subsequent encounter with an inept booking agent left them feeling decidedly deflated, following the wretched tour supporting the album's release. After licking their wounds the band have gone from strength to strength in the ensuing months and have just announced the release of new single 'Catalyst' for late October through Field Records. Before a recent matinee show in west London, Dan Jones caught up with founding members Lloyd Carter (guitar) and Martin Smith (vocals) to find out their thoughts on their debut LP six months down the line and the trials and tribulations of life on the road...
Starting with an obligatory one, can you explain a little about how you first got together?
Lloyd - Me and Martin started a band years and years ago.
Martin - We were crap!
Lloyd - We were really, really crap and it just evolved in about five years of playing with different people until we found the right ones to be around us. We met Danny quite early on, he's been our drummer for a while now. We were gigging as a four-piece with Tiernan our bass player, he joined the band in 2004 and we were just gigging about and played a few shows in London. Then we became friends with Spencer's band, the other guitar player who was in another band in Leicester called Queen Mary's Revenge, they kind of fell apart and we took him on board.
Martin - And we never looked back.
Do you get a little tired of explaining your name to everybody?
Lloyd - A lot of people spell it incorrectly
[both laugh]
Like how?
Lloyd - We've had Pubic Relations [all laugh], Public Relationship Exercise...
Martin - Public Relations [playing] with another band called Exercise...
Lloyd - And there's another band called PRE...
That was my next question! They're friends of a friend of mine...
Lloyd - I've actually never heard them
It's, erm, "interesting", it's arty noise fronted by a small Japanese girl screaming in just her pants and nightie!
Lloyd - Cool!
Martin - [laughing] We've got no chance!
So has anyone ever turned up and one of your shows expecting them?
Martin - Our friends Meet Me In St. Louis they had a gig on, and they were like "wow you guys are playing!" And we were like, er, no!
Ok, so your new album Come You Are Safe, We Are From The Bombs has been out for six months now and you've had time to reflect on it. Are you happy with the reception your debut got from critics? I haven't come across any reviews where anybody's had anything negative to say about it...
Lloyd - The reviews that we got were all really, really positive. In places like RockMidgets, Rocksound quite liked it, what was that metal mag?
Martin - Oh yeah, Terrorizer!
Lloyd - They gave us eight out ten, so yeah we got some quite good responses from it.
Looking back at it now, are you still happy with it?
Lloyd - Yes and no. The thing is about that album is that there's a lot of songs... there's one song on there that's like five years old.
Martin People who've liked us for a while just say it sounds like a greatest hits
Lloyd - So there's tracks from a long period of time. Right at the end of writing and recording we kind of found our way, but that's only about eight tracks on the album. Some of them were written as a four-piece, some of them were written as a three piece...
Martin - And some were about two weeks before we recorded.
I've got a quote from Tiernan, you can refute this if you want, he called the record your The Shape of Punk To Come...
Martin - As soon as we saw that we were like, what the fuck!? The Shape of Punk To Come, one of the best albums ever, how do we get close to that?
Lloyd - I think he meant that it's OUR ...Shape of Punk To Come.
Martin - He still reckons he never said that!
Do you think bands can ever produce their best works so early? It took the likes of Refused and At The Drive-In two or three albums to perfect things.
Lloyd - I think the way we've been writing with Spencer - cos like I said we were a fully functional four-piece [beforehand] - we took Spencer on board, and it took a few songs that we wrote to find where we were confident, and a lot of those songs are on there. Songs like 'Maximiser Co-ordinator' were written as a five-piece. By the time we got to 'Parallax Error' and 'Eleven' we started finding a little bit of a groove where Spencer played more melodic parts and I think that's where we're going now.
With Spencer on board you're doing something novel in terms of left and right guitars rather than the usual lead and rhythm. I remember hearing somewhere that you saw Bullet Union play and it inspired you, is that right?
Lloyd - We did a little tour in probably 2005 and we played with a lot of sh*t bands all around the country. Everywhere we went we were playing with like David Bowie cover bands and we were just thinking, "we've got to see a good band". The Leicester date with Bullet Union was the last date of the tour and we were just like "Yep! [both laugh] That's cool as f**k!" Bits they were doing, it's quite simple stuff looking back on it now, but it's just the way they were bouncing off each other, and harmonizing rather than one of them playing chords and the other playing solos. So that was something we really wanted to do but couldn't because we didn't have another guitar player.
You've got a new single coming out on October 22nd called 'Catalyst', it's probably your most accessible moment to date...Martin - It's radio friendly [laughs]
Exactly! You came up with an original approach for the artwork [The band ran an online competition for people to design the sleeve -DJ] and it was won by Ed Pentelow. Why did decide to pick his entry? I think it fits in really well with your previous artwork...
Martin - Yeah, that's the thing. It was the first one where we were like, "That's cool", "That's got it", "That sums us up". There was a lot of other cool stuff but nothing was like done, complete and us in a package.
Lloyd - It was kind of reflective to some of the other artwork we've had. I'm not sure if you've seen some of the really early demos but there was lots of NASA type work.
As always on the internet on some boards...
[both laugh]
Martin - Fucking tight arses!
[all laugh]
You know where this is heading then! There were some people who had a lot of negative things to say about the approach. But I saw it the other way, I saw it as an opportunity to give an up-and-coming artist the opportunity to get their name and artwork known, and to showcase their ability.
Martin - The artwork thing was basically we hadn't got time to do anything. About a month ago we were like "We want to put 'Catalyst' out", so we went to the record label boss and had a chat to him and he said, "you need to write two brand new songs that aren't on the album to get people in", so we just didn't have time. Spencer, who did the artwork previously, his computer has blown up, so that's where it came from
Lloyd - In regard to the people, there was a bunch of people who said "we hate it when bands exploit people", but at the end of the day you can take it either way. This guy is now going to have his artwork credited and distributed nationwide. We get artwork, he gets exposure, and if you think we're ripping people off they shouldn't enter the competition.
Martin - The people whose work wasn't picked is going up on the Field Records website too.
As we've touched on earlier, some of the tracks have been around for years. Do you think the next album you work on could be even better as you're writing more as a group for the first real time?
Lloyd - The way we're writing is changing all the time. I used to write the music, Martin used to write the lyrics and that was kind of it. Then Spencer joined and it changed again as Spencer used to write all the songs in his old band. Now Tiernan's getting involved in the writing, it's a big mixing pot.
Martin - The new ones we just had a couple of sections and we all sat down, all five of us and were like, "we want this, this, this and this" and kind of wrote the format of the song down on the table before we even wrote the song.
Lloyd - We just work things out and let it flow now, and work it out as a team rather than it being just a couple of songwriters.
There's talk of the new tracks being a bit more proggy, I've heard Pelican being mentioned...
Lloyd - Yeah definitely, 'Eleven' got compared to them
Martin - I like the way 'Eleven' was at the end of the album and now it's like a precursor to the new stuff.
Lloyd - There's just a lot more that we want to do. We don't want to be known as a screaming punk band forever. There's more stuff that we're able to do and there's more stuff that we want to do. Like with the two guitar players, we doing new stuff, experimenting with harmonies and vocally we're expanding, Tiernan's doing back-up vocals, we're doing call and response vocals, just making things a lot more spacious and interesting.
What would you describe as the highlights of your career so far? Are there any shows or tours that particularly stand out?
[Long pause]
Martin - Good question!
What about the album release?
Lloyd - Yeah, the album launch party in Leicester was really, really cool. We promoted it ourselves and put it on in a venue we really like, Firebug in Leicester, we're really friendly with the owners there. It just felt really cool cos we've done a lot of gigs in Leicester for a long time and this was quite a big deal for us. The album launch in our home town and it was rammed, the busiest gig we've done in Leicester by far, and the busiest I've seen that venue. So I'd say that has been probably the highlight.
Martin - The night when we played with 65daysofstatic, Youthmovie Soundtrack Strategies, that was great and the tour with Frank Turner.
Ok, so on the flipside of that has there been any low points?
Lloyd - [Immediately] Oh big time. The album launch itself, that night apart, the tour was the first time we've used a booking agent and he was sh*t!
Martin - He was a shower of sh*t!
[all laugh]
Lloyd - We thought the next step for us would be to get a booking agent who could work with us booking tours, [that we could] get into decent venues if we paid an agent to help us, and it was awful. We played five gigs, four of which we were the only band playing in cities that we'd never been to and never heard of. We broke even, we didn't lose money but it kind of took the wind out of us. It was just before the album came out and we were left feeling really, really low. That was the lowest point for us which was weird because we were all really excited about the album coming out but it was falling on deaf ears.
Obviously you guys hail from Leicester, what do you make of the current scene? For most outsiders like me, we think of Leicester and we immediately think of Kasabian and feel ill...
Martin YEAH! [laughs]
So defend your city!
Lloyd - There's a lot of things if you've got your ear to the ground
Martin - There's a lot sh*t in Leicester, and it's very, very cliquey among sh*t bands in their thirties playing their Gallagher-esque trash
Lloyd - There's a lot of that and people making scenes just by going to see their friends, which is kind of sad as there's some f**king awesome bands. Leicester bands like Her Name Is Calla are f**king incredible but they don't really belong to any scene. We've started playing lots of gigs with them as we're really good friends with them, but they're taking off now as they've got their album coming out and they're getting support. Bands like Herra Hidro are getting their name about and Fight Fire With Water are bands we really, really dig and like watching.
Martin - The sad thing about it is that the good music around in Leicester isn't being heard and the only bands you hear about are Kasabian-esque.
Lloyd - There's just not the exposure for underground bands. But there's some really good gigs put on in Leicester. If you looked at gig listings for a couple of weeks there's some pretty good bands playing some pretty good venues.
What do you make of the outbreak of bands like Gallows and Enter Shikari? Do you think it's good for the British underground scene or proof of the importance of a good hype machine and the power of MySpace?
Lloyd - I think it's good in the sense that it's got more people going to gigs. MySpace is showing that there's more on your doorstep than you think. For example you were saying you think Leicester and you think Kasabian, but there's more going on. Not only are there bands on MySpace but there's promoters that gather good bands and put them on together.
Do you think it hard for emerging bands like yourself to compete against American acts for people's attention? Certain major British magazines seem to prefer pushing fashionable US acts rather than up-and-coming home grown ones. Do you feel like it's an uphill struggle?
Martin - It's an uphill struggle what we're doing anyway, because we're not being backed and we don't have money to throw at these things. Whereas these bands from America on Victory Records seem to be p*ssing money. I don't know, they must pay for all this PR cos a lot of the bands I hear are dogsh*t!
Lloyd - The sad fact is that if you've got money it will help you a great deal.
Martin - And if you're emo you're going to get written about all day long!
What are your plans for the rest of the year then?
Martin - There's an October thing going on with this really cool Irish band And So I Watch You From Afar - they're a bit like 65days but not glitchy. We're going on tour with them in October.
Lloyd - The single release is something we're all really looking forwards to. We're going to try and put some PR into it. We've just shot a video for 'Catalyst' which we're going to try and get pushed by a promotion company. So we're hopefully going to try and get a second wind as we didn't really tour the album.
Martin - There's talk of doing something with Frank Turner again, he has said something about Europe.
Finally, where would you realistically like to see yourselves three years down the line? Have you got any set goals?
Lloyd - I'd like to play some pretty decent festivals, I think we'd all like to. We take everything one step at a time, we always have done and things just keep happening. There's no five year plan.

Standing on the outside, you know TNA isn't going to be a hum-drum shopping experience. TNA stores are known for their bright, airy, gallery-like spaces that showcase its clothes, accessories, and art work to their best advantage. The South Granville branch is modern and futuristic, with a 40-foot mural of an indoor garden that is an exuberant explosion of bold colours and strokes by former art director of Tokion magazine Deanne Cheuk. TNA Metrotown, on the other hand, has a gorgeous B.C. kitsch mural, which includes some hand-drawn creations by in-house artists.
Northwest Fashion
For something that started as a house brand of the Aritzia chain, TNA has taken off with a style and signature that's distinctively its own. Incredibly popular with the "tween" set, it has garnered a cult-like following from young fashionistas who go ga-ga over its snuggly but street-cred worthy merchandise: basic tees, puffy parkas, luxe sweaters, trendy leggings, as well as a good selection of designer denims (the ones with elaborate back-pocket designs that cost a pretty penny but make your legs look so long and lean they're worth it). It also carries accessories like hats, belts, scarves and sporty bags. Its comfy hoodies and TNA-logo emblazoned sweatshirts are so ubiquitous you can't walk down any Vancouver street without seeing at least one.
Then, Now, Always
Contrary to what some people believe, TNA doesn't stand for certain body parts. A smart marketing campaign tagged TNA as, "Then, Now, Always," appealing to its devoted customer base. But officially, TNA stands for "Talula National Athletic." Perky staff are eager to help, and will keep you updated on the latest trends and must-have items.

Acura introduces the ad that will promote the new NSX during the XLVI SuperBowl, which will see the New York Giants and the New England Patriots battling each other at the Lucas Oil Stadium of Indianapolis, Indiana. The model is basically the long awaited heir of the iconic Honda NSX sportscar of the 90s, but will be marketed in North America with Honda's luxury brand Acura. The car was unveiled in mid January in Detroit, at the North American International Auto Show, and is powered by a V6 Vtec engine in combination with two electric motors. Its innovative Super Handling All Wheel Drive system makes sure that the ideal torque in any situation gets constantly transferred to all four corners of the car, implying an obvious benefit to its overall performance.
However, the real star of this commercial is Jerry Seinfeld, the famous American comedian that owes his worldwide popularity to the successful "Seinfeld" sit-com of the 90s. Simply put, Seinfeld finds out he is just number two on the customers' waiting list for the new Acura, and tries to convince the holder of the number one spot to switch places through a number of different odd offers, with no success. Then, as soon as the number one guy gets persuaded, another special guest gets in the way..
The car is frankly a bit neglected in the commercial, but if you want to take a closer look, check out our photo galleries: the official one dispatched by Honda and an exclusive one taken live at the 2011 NAIAS a few weeks back by our colleagues from Autoblog.it.

To sum up Meiji Marble in a concise way is to call them the Japanese M&Ms. They're little chocolate pastilles covered with a colorful candy shell. I usually see them sold in single tubes, which I think is a nice packaging idea. I've also seen them sold in little boxes, often in different flavors. Marble has a cute little set of mascots, as do most Japanese candies, and a little cartoon pup is what I spot most. I wonder if he has a name.
Popping open the tube the Marble pieces pour out with a nice full sound. All the colors are matte and desaturated. The come in pink, yellow, powder blue, olive green orange and red. Individually they are pretty, but together the feel like a poorly chosen rainbow, as the colors feel mismatched.
The chocolate is sweet and milky, but the overall sense I get is of fake hot cocoa. There's not depth to the flavor, and all I get is a tease of chocolate wanna-be tastes, then a big throat burn from the sweetness.
The flavors of the Marbles are inconsistent. Some of them taste bland, others of chocolate, and some taste oddly of coffee. The textures were all over the charts too. Many felt greasy while others were perfectly smooth and rich feeling on my tongue. This certainly made for an interesting eating experience, I never quite knew what I was going to get.
These are no replacement for M&Ms, especially since Marble end up being more expensive because of the import costs. Still, if I can find them in the rarer flavors, such a the fruit varieties, I'll fork over for them. But if we're talking the regular chocolate kind, I'll keep to the better and more domestic choice.

Darkling Tentacle

The Darkling Tentacle is an Ing/Darkling that is essentially a long tentacle that protrudes from walls, most commonly in narrow corridors. They are native to Dark Aether. It is insinuated that they are part of larger organisms, using portals to fit their tentacles through to capture and drag prey from another location on Dark Aether.
When a dangerous life-form (such as Samus and presumably Luminoth) approaches the Darkling Tentacle, it will begin swinging wildly to repel the foe. Like most Ing, they dislike bright light, and a bright flash will cause them to retract back behind the wall, allowing passage. These Darklings are very fast and hard to hit even with the Power Beam. They are indestructible, and their behavior greatly resembles that of the Reaper Vine and Aqua Reaper from Tallon IV and the Whipvine encountered on the BOTTLE SHIP.
Logbook entryEdit
- For unknown reasons, the scan of these tendrils states that they are Ing but also labels them as Darkling organisms. This, along with their name, bring matters to confusion, since darklings are creatures possessed by Ing, meaning Darkling Tentacles were previously normal bioforms. There is the possibility that these tendrils are original darklings, creatures that were presumably born on the dark planet without ever having a light counterpart (such examples are the three Amorbis, Dark Phlogus and Nightbarbs). This is supported by the fact that Samus never encounters a counterpart for these creatures on Light Aether.
- Concept Gallery artwork features a Wisp Tentacle which is not seen in the game. Its name is also present on an older list of scan data on the disk, and it is used in a script for the Darkling Tentacle, suggesting "Wisp Tentacle" is just a beta name.

You could have guessed that when Chris Brown stormed off the Good Morning America set, allegedly threw a chair into his dressing-room window and left the building shirtless, that wasn't going to be the last you heard about it. Indeed, more details and accounts of the incident have started to pop up, including audio posted by TMZ that seems to confirm that ABC called the cops after Brown's explosion. This has lead to speculation that the incident could constitute a violation of his probation agreement, as related to his previous domestic abuse charges.
TMZ also reports that GMA host Robin Roberts says that she got the OK from Chris Brown ahead of time to ask "a few questions" related to the Rihanna incident, claiming that she's "pulling for the guy" and wouldn't want to ambush him on live TV. ABC is defending the line of questions. "As always, we ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy," said a channel rep. "And that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown." (This is why we always turn to Good Morning America for our hard-hitting exposes, of course.) Roberts also tweeted about the incident after the fact, saying "Sure has been an interesting AM @GMA. Still sorting thru everything myself. Just my 2nd day on twitter, wonder what tomorrow will bring?" Twitter = drama, Robin. Better you find out now.
Speaking of the Bluebird, a couple artists ignored the day's events to post a controversy-less shoutout to Breezy's new album, F.A.M.E.—which, lest we forget, is in fact being released today.

Apple fails to deliver international iPad on time, delays launch by one month
Due to unexpected high demand in the US, Apple is unable to launch the iPad in other countries at the end of April – as it initially said it would.
The Cupertino company claims to have sold more than 500,000 iPads in the US since launch (April 3), and says that demand is "likely continue to exceed its supply over the next several weeks."
Because of this, the iPad will be launched in international markets at the end of May. Apple – which is expected to unveil a new iPhone on June 22 – should announce international iPad pricing on May 10, when international customers will also be able to pre-order the device.
Meanwhile, several mobile carriers around the world have announced that they would offer Apple's iPad, obviously starting late May. The carriers are: Rogers (in Canda), Vodafone (in Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK), Orange (in France, the UK, Spain and Switzerland) and O2 (in the UK).

On tonight's episode of "Hell's Kitchen", the chefs were first given the task of cooking original and tasty side dishes highlighting the potato. But only 5 from each team would be presented to Chef Ramsay. The men took an early lead, but then due to Mike's inability to produce anything that stands out, lost to the women at the end.
The Red Team thus won reward that meant a ride on a yacht, the Blue Team on the other hand to clean and prep. Then it was time for dinner service and Rochelle without doubt was not feeling well, but Simone in her low tone and feel-sorry for me attitude complaint of a nonexistent ailment, or perhaps not an illness, but something more commonly known as laziness. And DeMarco on the Blue Team sliced his finer open and had to be taken to the clinic.
But once the cooking began both teams were out of sink and only for brief moments did 1 or 2 cooks shine, overall dinner service was a total failure and Chef Ramsay for the 3rd time in a row kicked all the chefs out of the kitchen, this time asked them to nominate 3 chefs from each team for elimination.
The Blue Team put up Mike, who is just rude and talks too much, DeMarco again was nominated, and Chris who has been somewhat quiet. The Red Team nominated Simone, Sandra, and Rochelle. It would be interesting to be fly on the wall and watch the casting auditions for this show, because some of the characters that feel themselves worthy of the grand prize just come across as delusional, lazy, and annoying. And at the end Simone chose to leave the competition.
"Hell's Kitchen" runs on Thursday at 8 p.m. EDT on Fox.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the high court and the key swing vote in some of the nation's highest-profile cases, announced her resignation Friday.
In a letter to the White House, the moderate conservative, said she will step down when her successor is confirmed.
President Bush said O'Connor was well respected.
"Throughout her tenure she has been a discerning and conscientious judge, and a public servant of complete integrity," Bush said. "Justice O'Connor's great intellect, wisdom and personal decency have won her the esteem of her colleagues and our country."
O'Connor, 75, was appointed by President Reagan in 1981 and is considered a moderate conservative on the high court and often cast the pivotal swing vote in important cases.
She dismissed the label, telling CNN recently, "That's something the media has devised as a means of writing about the court, and I don't think that has a lot of validity."
The list of cases in which her vote made the difference is long and notable: limiting affirmative action (Adarand 1995 case requiring "compelling" government interest), permitting public aid and vouchers to religious and parochial schools (Agostini and 2002 Zelman/Cleveland cases), and in several abortion-related cases, where a woman's reproductive rights were narrowly re-affirmed (Casey, Cathcart cases).
A brief statement from O'Connor said she needs to spend more time with her husband, attorney John J. O'Connor, who has been suffering from early stages of Alzheimer's.
This is the first Supreme Court vacancy since 1994, when President Clinton nominated Stephen Breyer, who easily won confirmation.
The Bush White House has held secret meetings on possible replacements and senior officials have interviewed some candidates.
On Friday, Bush said he is looking for candidates "who meet a high standard of legal ability, judgment and integrity, and who will faithfully interpret the Constitution and laws of our country."
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-New York, said: "We would expect the president to maintain the critical balance of the court that Justice O'Connor fought so long and hard for by nominating a consensus, mainstream nominee.
"We should replace Justice O'Connor with a consensus candidate, not an ideologue."
Bush said he will select his nominee in time for the next Supreme Court session.
Some of the people mentioned by legal analysts as possible replacements include, Judge Michael Luttig, 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, a former D.C. attorney and assistant attorney general; and Judge Harvie Wilkinson, 4th Circuit, appellate court judge in Philadelphia.
O'Connor's move did not come as a big surprise to court watchers and portends a tremendous political battle. Already, conservative and liberal groups have been pushing the White House to fill a potential vacancy with someone who leans toward their points of view.
Her stance on abortion rights has previously drawn criticism from staunchly conservative groups. She served as the swing vote in several abortion-related cases in which abortion rights were narrowly re-affirmed. O'Connor did not back down from her insistence that states place "no undue burden" on the right to an abortion.
There also has been speculation about whether Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, 80, will step down. The chief justice has thyroid cancer and uses trachea tube to help him breathe.
The Supreme Court ended its term Monday.
24 years of service
O'Connor was surprised when President Reagan fulfilled a campaign pledge to nominate a woman to the high court and chose her in July 1981 to replace Justice Potter Stewart.
Reagan described her at the time as "truly a person for all seasons, possessing qualities of temperament, fairness, intellectual capacity and devotion to public good."
During Senate confirmation hearings in 1981, she was asked about the legacy she hoped to leave.
"Ah, the tombstone question," O'Connor replied. "I hope it says, 'Here lies a good judge.' "
On September 22, 1981, she was unanimously confirmed by the Senate.
In court, O'Connor's demeanor is serious, studied, her questions spare and pointed on the practical effect of laws.
Her toughness and her dry wit were on display when O'Connor was diagnosed in 1988 with breast cancer. She was back on the bench within weeks after treatment.

With boyish good looks, a fresh sound and an alluring persona, twenty year-old singer, dancer and songwriter Skye Stevens is gaining momentum in the world of pop music. His debut single, "Takes All Night" shot to the #3 spot on the Billboard dance chart and dominated the Internet - raking in millions of views on YouTube while debuting at #8 on MTV's Hot Videos List.
Stevens' second single, "Rewind" saw similar success. Quickly shooting to the Top 25 on Billboard's Dance/Club Play chart with a music video featuring Pretty Little Liars star Sasha Pieterse.
Now, Stevens is back with perhaps his most infectious track yet. An amazing cover of Afrojack's "Ten Feet Tall".
I asked Stevens about the new track and video - which premieres EXCLUSIVELY here first! Check it out!
Why did you decide to cover this song?
Afrojack is an amazing artist/producer/DJ that I have a lot of respect for. He was in LA recently for a massive album release party and I received an invite through a mutual friend.
I remember Afrojack was playing his set to this massive crowd and when "Ten Feet Tall" came on, these massive fog machines blasted and about a thousand laser lights came on - filling the air with booming colors and sounds. It was just this incredible euphoric moment and was so dope just to be there. Afrojack has made some timeless records and I wanted to cover this song in hopes that he'd see it and want to get in the studio someday!
Where did the idea for the video come from?
The idea for the video is fairly simple, even though it's a pretty elaborate set up. It's based on the Chinese philosophy of the "Yin and Yang" symbol and how we live between the light and dark and highs and lows of life - which is why I'm standing in the center.
Skye Stevens has been busy touring over the past year with the likes of Phillip Phillips, Andy Grammer and Cher Lloyd and is set to tour more of America in late 2014. Be sure to check out the exclusive video for "Ten Feet Tall" and leave a comment below!

There is must to do about Equal Rights lately. Federal and State governments are enacting laws in an attempt to legislate morality in the name of equal rights. The definition of 'rights' is, a moral or legal entitlement to have or obtain something or to act in a certain way.
The word 'entitlement' tends to get people riled up. We tend to think we are entitled to many things for reasons of race, religion, gender, economic status, etc. In looking at the definition of rights, we have two things to consider. First, let us look as moral entitlement.
Morals, unfortunately, are not uniform across society because they are not based on the same foundation for us all. As a Christian, my morals are based on the Christian Bible. This automatically sets me in opposition to certain behavior or lifestyle choices of some other individuals. It does not, nor should it, set me in opposition to those people, but to their behaviors.
As a Caucasian (not white which is a color, not a race) Woman, I have felt the sting of rejection by those whose moral code rejects women in certain roles. I have felt the hurt of prejudicial views voiced by those of another race. Forcing through the legislation of equal rights, those moral views and bigoted opinions to accept me does not change how they feel.
In forcing so called gay rights or pro-abortion agendas on me through legislation does not change my moral code on those matters.
Equal rights for one is inequality for another. Do the math.
What is the answer? Government is neither our god nor our parent. It needs to keep out of moral issues and let We the People work it out.
Now let's look at legal entitlement, the other part of our working definition of 'rights'. Again, 'entitlements' is a non-reality. We are entitled to nothing. We have access to certain things, not through entitlement but through grace, or hard work, or benevolence. We can have legal benefits, but we should not confuse those with entitlements.
In enforcing Freedom of Speech, I have been forced by government to accept hearing immoral opinions based on non-Christian thinking. In legislating religion I have been forced to live among occult practices, abhorrent sexual behavior, and the killing of the unborn.
In merry Old England, certain Christians were being forced by government to worship a certain way. What did they do? They sailed to the new world looking for religious freedoms. To where do today's Christians sail to escape immoral persecution?
Jesus said to the disciples, "You are in the world, but you are not of the world."
We Christians have the benefit of being able to 'escape' to our home country of Heaven. In the Kingdom of God, the moral values are consistent with a proper foundation. In Heaven, the language is edifying and pure. In Heaven the moral code is Righteousness.
Yes, as a Christian, I am temporarily in this world, but government, you do not trump the government of God's Kingdom. So while I will love homosexuals, abortionists, all people of all races and religions, I will not be forced to accept their choices nor their words and actions.
The gavel has sounded and Jesus is Lord.

07.08.2010 / How the Huskers brand will stand in the Big 10. Blog posting by Mike Babcock, Huskers Illustrated Magazine.
When Tom Osborne returned to Nebraska as athletic director and then hired Bo Pelini as football coach, the term culture became popular among sports writers. Osborne and Pelini understood Cornhusker culture. And such an understanding was essential to restoring tradition.
Following the announcement that Nebraska will become a member of the Big Ten a year from now, the term "brand" has become popular. Even though the Big Ten will have 12 members, the Big Ten "brand" will preclude changing names, despite the numerical discrepancy.
"Brand" also is being used in discussions of divisional alignments for football with Nebraska on-board. The Big Ten will almost certainly have two divisions with the winners playing in a financially lucrative championship game, in an NFL stadium - among the possibilities Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ford Field in Detroit, the Metrodome in Minneapolis and Soldier Field in Chicago.
The divisions might depend more on "brand" than on geography. If geography were the primary consideration, Nebraska would join Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois and Northwestern in a West Division, with Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Purdue, Indiana and Michigan State in an East Division. However, that would put three of the conference's four most recognizable "brand" names in the East Division: Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State.
Nebraska will be the fourth of the most recognizable "brands" in the Big Ten. In fact, it will rank at the top along with Ohio State, based on national championships. Both have won five since 1936, when the Associated Press established its poll. The coaches' poll was established in 1950. Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany has indicated that competitive balance will be the first consideration in determining divisions, followed by the preservation of rivalries such as Ohio State-Michigan. Only after those factors are considered will geography enter the discussion.
As a result, Ohio State and Michigan probably need to be in the same division, which means for competitive balance based on "brands," Penn State and Nebraska would be aligned. Then rivalries would be preserved. That's where the situation gets a bit tricky. One of the schools that would have been in the West Division had geography been the deciding factor will have to go east, despite an established rivalry. Iowa and Minnesota have been playing the Floyd of Rosedale game since 1935. Minnesota and Wisconsin have been playing for Paul Bunyan's Axe since 1948. And Illinois and Northwestern have played a trophy game since 1945 – now the Land of Lincoln Trophy.
Of course, not every Big Ten team plays every other Big Ten team in a given season anyway. The Michigan-Minnesota rivalry, with its Little Brown Jug trophy, dates to 1903. Those schools have played each other most seasons since then, though not all. Still, that would seem to be a rivalry worth preserving. But it wouldn't be, even if the basis were geography.
Creating two six-team divisions in the Big Ten is more complicated than it first appears. Nothing is certain at this point, but figure that Nebraska and Penn State will be in one division with Ohio State and Michigan in the other. That's a good place to begin, based on competitive balance, "brands."
