Direct from Violent J.....it's the Hatchet Herald!
In the Words of Prince … CONTROVERSY!
So I guess our newest artist Blahzay Roze is causing a world of controversy. That's awesome because so far she has sold way, way more CDs than any of us expected! We are very happy and very proud of her. If you ninjas only knew how far she has come in the last 6 months! Damn, sometimes I forget how much the world has changed since we started this label. As I previously explained in my Hatchet Heralds, (If anybody still reads them anymore; you know, the postings I sometimes write and post up on HatchetHerald.com and insaneclownposse.com?) When Psychopathic Records signs a new artist, we usually like to sign an unknown, unheard of rapper and then together with them in the studio, we like to create something cool. Yes, we manufacture a fresh character, a look or a gimmick if you will. We do this by finding out what the artist's strongest talents are and magnifying who they actually are as a person. We find out who they are inside and what this person is really all about and we then turn the volume of all of that way up to 10! We make a character out of who they actually are. It's been the same with every artist we've ever signed that wears some form of face paint. Now… only time will tell if that artist is skilled and talented enough to, by themselves, take what we started together with them and build and expand on it themselves, turning it all into something amazing the way Twiztid did, or Blaze or Anybody Killa, ect.
We have done the same with almost all the artists we've signed over the years, except for the artist that we've signed who already had a fan base and previous albums out, and videos, etc, such as Esham, Dayton Family, and even Vanilla Ice (only Vanilla Ice never actually handed in an album so nothing of his ever came out on Psychopathic). The point is, we are a lot like the WWE. Signing and working with Blahzay Roze has been no different. The only thing different now is the times! It's 2016! You see, in today's world, you have the internet and on the internet everybody has a voice and everybody's voice is equally as loud and effective. Everybody from 40 year old Juggalos who know everything there is to know about the Hatchet all the way down to 11 year old kids, just talking shit, who don't know a fucking thing about the Hatchet. On the net, all voices are equally as loud and powerful. They all get heard and all their shit gets spread out further and further even if it's complete bullshit. So I'm coming on the net myself, right now to tell the exact truth about how our new artist, Blahzay Roze, was discovered and how she landed her deal with Psychopathic Records so everybody can quit spreading bullshit rumors and speculation. Once I tell the exact truth, as I'm about to do, whoever wants to hate on her and us can hate to the fullest all they like and those who want to support her and us can support us. At least the TRUTH will be out. Now if anybody that's reading this doesn't believe me and thinks I'm lying or exaggerating about anything I'm about to tell you, you, my friends, can suck a dick up until you hiccup. Because I'd never lie about this shit; it would only come back to bite me in the ass and I would look like a fuckin' fool. Plus, I myself think the truth of how we discovered Blahzay Roze is actually kind of cool, and so there really is no need to lie or hype anything up because we don't have anything to hide. I think it's all fascinating!
About 6 months ago, I joined Facebook. Young Wicked set it all up for me because I still don't know much about how to work all that shit. It's very embarrassing to admit that because the net is nothing new anymore and yet I still don't know how to really work it and I find that rather pathetic about myself. My own mom knows more about the net than me and my kids do too. I only joined Facebook because at the time I was looking for girls to meet because I'd recently become single. As soon as I joined Facebook I got bombarded with letters from Juggalos. I read probably hundreds of letters from all kinds of ninjas. One letter I got was very polite and thanked us and our music for several things, the main thing being that it helps her battle with depression. I myself have dealt with depression and anxiety disorder for most of my adult life so that meant a lot to me to hear her say that. I wrote this person back just like I had written many people back. Her name was Becky. I looked at her pictures and she was very beautiful to me. I called Otis over because he was with me that day and I was using the big screen computer in the Lotus Pod studio. He looked at her picture and name and he said "Hey, man, I've met that chick before! She busted a fresh rap for me in Worcester. She can rap, man!" I wrote her back but I wasn't really concerned with the rapping thing at all. I was more or less flattered by her letter and what she was thanking us for. She wrote me back again and we began a correspondence.
I quit Facebook but Becky and I kept talking and texting by phone for about 4 weeks straight and we talked A LOT. I checked out all her pictures and she was a hottie, no doubt about it. She told me about how she hasn't been on a date in over a year and how her depression had basically been crippling her lately. She would go out on the weekends to the same bar in her town to drink with her Juggalo homies and get wasted, but that would be the highlight of her week. Every week. Same thing, week after week after week. This went on for like the last year. I won't go into to much of her personal life, as that is hers to share if she wishes. All I will say is that I offered to fly her out to Detroit several times to spend a couple days with me and she repeatedly refused. She turned me down over and over again. She was not having my game. Her exact words were something like "I think I'm going to just stay dark for a while." I remember saying "Dark? What the fuck does that mean? Who wants to stay in the dark"? I remember feeling extra positive because the "Marvelous Missing Link: Found" album was still relatively new and that had me feeling extra good (It still has me feeling good!). So one weekend, about 5 weeks into our internet relationship, I told her I was flying out to see her that night in Maine and that there was nothing she could do about it. And that's exactly what I did. I flew out to this little town I had never heard of called Lewiston, Maine. Even the nearest airport was over an hour away. I tried to rent a car but something was wrong with my credit card so I called Billy and he set me up with a car service to drive me around for the night. I remember thinking "Good because I plan on getting fucked up tonight and now I don't gotta drive!" The guy drove me all the way to Lewiston, which I guess is right next to another little city named Auburn. So this place is actually referred to as "Lewiston/Auburn" I guess. This town wasn't nearly as small as I expected. It reminded me a lot of the Cass Corridor section of Detroit where Shaggy and I lived with Billy and Rob during the Ringmaster/Riddlebox eras. Just a big, old looking, run down dump of a city. So we pulled into a hotel, I checked in and I texted Becky right away. Her friend texted me back and said something like "She's really nervous and she won't be ready for a couple hours still". I remember clearly thinking "What the fuck, man? Now she's gonna leave me fuckin' hangin'? After I came all this fuckin way? Is this bitch crazy or something?" So I just chilled in my room, watched "Cops" and waited it out.
The thing is, I really liked Becky's personality. She wasn't like anybody I'd ever met before. Obviously I did or I wouldn't have flown all the way out there just to take her out on a fuckin' date. The thing about her was she was depressed a lot, yes, and her life to me was just fuckin' crazy. Her life seemed to me like it's probably exactly what my life would be like if I wasn't rapping for a living. Seriously. She'd been a Juggalo for the last 10 years. She's been to like 4 or 5 Gatherings. She said she was totally lost when she was younger and everybody called her Bulimic Becky (because she was so skinny then). But then she met some girl, who's now her best friend. And that girl introduced her to her crew of Juggalo homies. From then on her life became much better in a lot of ways yes, but in other ways, like money, jobs, relationships, family, etc. her life still pretty much fuckin' sucked. I wish I could tell you about it all but I can't. It's her business. Just take my word on this because I would never flat out lie to you about this: She was raised very fuckin' hard knocks. VERY. She has been through some very, very serious trauma in her life. When I met her she lived in a fourth floor, two bedroom, shitty ass, old apartment that actually leaned to the side. The entire building was fuckin' crooked. You could set a baseball down in front of her front door and it would actually roll right off the fuckin' deck. I've been there and I've seen this all myself. Walking up and down them steps everyday, 3 times a day to let the dog out had to fuckin' suck. She lived with another ninja out of convenience. They had a huge blanket thing hung up for a wall to separate the apartment basically in half. They played video games and smoked weed together, but that's it. There is more to tell about them two but again, that is her business. As I said she suffered from depression and anxiety badly and couldn't afford to see a doctor about it. She had no insurance for her much needed meds and you know the rest. I'm talking HARD LIVING Y'ALL. But she was a Juggalo and she was sometimes very funny, charismatic and fun if you could get her mind out of the dark. She told me she loved to paint, she wrote poetry, she never mentioned the rapping thing and to be completely honest, neither did I. I had completely forgotten all about it. But trying to get her out from under this dark cloud became sort of my obsession. I have often been told many, many times in my life that I have a big heart. Or that I think with my heart and not my brain. Now this has been both a blessing in my life and a curse. But helping this girl became sort of a priority for me. She was so beautiful, why was she living in the dark? Her only enjoyment was her Juggalo life and hanging with her Juggalo friends. She was an artist that never finished any projects. She had a whole fuckin' novel that was half way written. HALF WAY!! Why couldn't she just finish it? She said she met this ninja who wanted to be a photographer and she took some pictures for modeling with him because people often told her she looked pretty but nothing much was happening with that shit either. She wanted to take pics similar to the Suicide Girls. She was trying with that at least. The greatest joy in her life was the Gatherings. She would go to them with her friends and just totally let loose and have a ball there.
So, anyway, back to me sittin' in this Lewiston/Auburn hotel, waiting on this Becky girl who I'd been talking religiously with for the past 5 weeks on the phone and texting. I texted her again 2 hours later and to my surprise she said she was ready! Boom! I jumped in my chauffeur driven town car and we went and picked her up and out we went. She was crazy hot in person but mad nervous. We went to lame ass Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner but we had a blast. We both ordered a drink after we ate to help kill the nerves but we were definitely hitting it off. We had fuckin' fun just talkin'. I remember she took the rest of our food home in a bag and I remember thinking "Man she must really be hungry if she's gonna carry this bag of food around with her for the rest of the night", and that's exactly what she did. No lie. She had that bag with her at all times like it was full of money or something. I'm not kidding. She couldn't stand the thought of wasting that food and just throwing it away. I'll never forget that.
We hit it off just like we did on Facebook. Then we went to the same bar that she goes to every weekend and I met a lot of her Juggalo friends and that was definitely cool. Her homie was there, this guy about my age. We were sittin' there talkin' and chillin' and he asked me if I ever heard Becky rap? That reminded me right then and there about what Otis (Young Wicked) said! She can rap! So I jumped all over it. I was like "Please bust a rap for me, please! I gotta hear you rap, please!" We went out on to the bar's patio and her homie lit up a blunt. And Becky busted her raps with ease. She busted 3 different long verses. I was straight up and down fuckin' floored. No lie. I was flat out amazed. Not because she spit faster than Tech or had doper lyrics than Hopsin or anything like that. I'm not claiming any of that. What floored me were 3 specific things. Number One: She spit what I consider to be classic Detroit style Wicked Shit! Straight up and down Juggalo style, crazy, horror shit. Every female rapper I've ever known or heard of does something else, besides Razakel. Major props to Raz; I think she's awesome and she definitely does the Wicked Shit but she's already well known. She has several dope ass videos out and has already been touring for a while and all that. But all other female rappers have different styles. Besides Razakel, no other female rapper I've ever met does straight up wicked shit. The second thing that fuckin' floored me about Becky's rapping was that she has a rasp in her voice that I instantly thought was awesome. It's almost a gruffy kind of flow that I was instantly a fan of. It was easy to tell that she was heavily influenced by ICP, Twiztid and the rest, but is that a bad thing? I don't think so at all. The third reason I was floored is that I realized right then and there that she doesn't have anything out! Nobody knows a thing about who this person is as far as a rapper! Sure she's a Juggalo, well known by other Juggalos, and she's been to Gatherings actin' crazy and having a blast with everybody else, but what I realized right then and there was all the possibilities! As I mentioned at the ICP seminar, Psychopathic Records has been actively looking to sign a female MC since waaaay back in the day! Long time Juggalos probably remember we even tried with a girl named Tali Demon many years ago, but she at the time had a bad drinking problem and we never actually even got a song recorded. We even tried to sign Whitney Peyton when she first came out but she turned us down. I've wanted to sign a female to Psychopathic for so long that I even talked to Razakel about it even though she's already an underground star! I have wanted to work with an undiscovered female rapper doing some form of the wicked shit FOREVER! FOOORRRREEVVEEERRR!
We stayed at the bar having a blast until it closed. I couldn't stop talking about her rapping. Then we went back to my hotel. We laid there on the bed and talked about all the possibilities until the sun was fully up and shining. I asked her all of what she has done in the rap world. Her ex was a rapper so she would write raps from time to time with him and his homies just to prove that she could do it to and she even recorded a verse on one of there songs. That song is some where out there on the net. It will probably surface any second if it hasn't already. She's on the 3rd verse just straight up killin' it! She called herself "Tippy" when she rapped. In my opinion, she totally bested the other two guys on that song. Also her ex made a cheap ass video for one of his songs and she's sitting there on the rocks in the background looking hot for him but she don't rap in it or anything. But I knew this girl fuckin' had it! I knew it the second she rapped for me. And she wasn't doing a fuckin' thing with her life at the time but wallowing in depression. So I flat out began talking to her about signing with Psychopathic that very night. I said "Fuck this place. If your life here sucks so bad then come back to Detroit with me and let's make an album!" I asked her if she thought she could perform live and all that. She was just (I think) overwhelmed by everything I was saying. But I explained how everything would work down to a T. It was the same talk I had with Boondox when I first met him. Everybody starts somewhere! I told her how we would put her up at a hotel near the office and pick her up every morning to record and drop her off with another beat for her to write to that night for the next song. I explained what everything would be like to the very best I could and she just kind of took it all in. I flew home the next day (with no sex for all you millions of ninjas wondering. No, I did not get laid that night, or even kissed or anything like that, unfortunately). I called a meeting with all of Psychopathic and I told everybody that I had finally found our unheard of, ultra talented female rapper and she also just so happens to be sexy as hell. I explained everything about how I was talking to her and how I liked her and how she liked me and right away everybody was like "OHHH SHIT". They all predicted way back then, exactly what is happening now would happen. They all said that everybody will say that she only got her deal because she's fucking me, and they said people will say she don't deserve it, and this, that and everything else. But we all knew that Juggalos are always wary of our new artists at first. And so I cut them a deal. I said I would make a two song demo with her, and we would come up with a look and a style of who she would be and if it's not fresh enough, then we will pass on everything and send her back to Maine. But when we're done with the demo if everybody -- and I mean every one of us has to agree -- if everybody agrees that she's got what it takes, and she is dope enough to actually do this, then we will finish the EP and put it out on Psychopathic Records.
People out there in internet land assume a lot of really stupid shit. First off, for whatever reason people assume Joey and I walk around running the business side of shit here at Psychopathic. Let me give you my favorite example of the kind of shit I'm talking about. This girl recently told me how she was mad at me and Joey because one of her friends was taking Hatchet Gear merch and cutting and redesigning it and reselling it on line. She was all mad at ICP because 3 years ago her friend got a cease and desist letter from Psychopathic Records. Now the crazy part is that they actually thought Joey and I sent her that letter. That is so fuckin' funny to me. As if we saw that shit for sale on line somewhere and we were like "Hey! Put a stop to that person selling that re designed shit!" I mean, come on, man! Do people really think we have anything to do with stuff like that? That is so crazy to me! First off, we've said it a million fuckin' times … we're barely ever online! Secondly if we are online, why the fuck would we ever care about something like that? We have partners! PARTNERS! People who are paid to watch our backs business wise. People who we pay to make sure all of our business is being handled as best as possible. It's not us sending out letters like that and besides, I seriously don't believe anybody, especially OUR PEOPLE would ever give a shit about something cool like that! So I don't know who sent that girl that letter but it sure as fuck wasn't us! Maybe it's possible an old employee of ours with nothing better to do sent it, but I seriously even doubt that.
But if people out there actually think, my brother Rob, Billy, Dean or J-Webb or even Joey would ever in a million fuckin' years allow me to sign somebody to our fuckin' precious company, which is our life line, just because I'm dating her is fuckin' ludicrous!!! That is so fuckin' crazy! I usually try to hide it when something out there on line actually offends me, otherwise more people will see that it worked and then they will start doing it to offend me too! People will do or say anything to get a reaction from you. I thought people saying that wouldn't bother me because it's so fuckin' ridiculous, but the truth is it's appalling and it's incredibly offensive what they are saying about me and Blahzay Roze. We knew this was coming and even though we expected this, it's still just incredible the way people think. "Blahzay Roze got her deal because she sucked Violent J's dick". That's the best shit I ever read. I love that. Let's think about that for a quick second… "If you're hot, all you have to do is suck my dick to get signed. You could suck on the mic, but as long as you suck on this dick too, we're all good." Yup, that's how we operate around here. I'm so hard up for some head that I'll sign any female MC that will suck my dick. And all my business partners who are all raising their families off this company that we've all built together are all totally OK with that as well. We'll give her a fat ass advance, and we will give her four months of our best work producing the best music we possibly can for her, all in return for a simple blow job. Plus we will shoot her a few expensive videos and plan out a career for her that if worked properly, could last forever. All she's gotta do is blow me. HAHAHAHA! That's fuckin' priceless right there. It amazes me that after 27 years in this business, and after launching all these amazing artists, people out there actually think that's all we've boiled down to. People are saying that but I know they don't actually believe that. The truth is, everybody knows that's not true. They are only saying shit like that to be hurtful and because she's a girl and that's beyond fuckin' stale. Plus they are player hating her to the fullest with that stupid bullshit.
After the meeting at Psychopathic everybody was excited to see what we could come up with and I called her and told her the good news. First things first, we wanted this whole thing to be top secret. Her whole Juggalo crew had to remain quiet and to their credit, they did! Becky thought about everything for about a day and decided to come to Detroit and give it a shot, and why the fuck not? Who wouldn't do the same? She was stuck in a dark room smoking weed and playing video games and basically doing nothing with her life for the past year! When she arrived in Detroit the first thing we did was get her to my doctor and after a while they put her on the anti depressants she very much needed. That helped her tremendously. I could slowly see her becoming more and more sociable and happy. We went out a lot and had fun hanging out with Rudy and his crew down in Southwest Detroit. And yes, during this process Becky and I did indeed hook up and began dating. Yes it's true. We dated for a while. I brought her along with me on the Riddlebox Tour to be the Cemetery Girl to help give her some stage and tour life experience. She also came to Canada where she played the Zombie Maid on stage for even more experience. She got a tattoo of my name above a butterfly that she had tatted on her hip. I asked her what if we don't work out as a couple? She explained to me that she got the tattoo not because we're in love but because I was the one who helped her come out of the dark. She told me I was the first person she ever met who truly believed in her and she will respect me for that alone forever. We also talked A LOT about what will happen if we stop dating and right from the rip she made it very clear that she is in this for the long haul no matter what happens with us and she is a Psychopathic Ryda to the fullest no matter what. And you know what? The sad news is that we didn't last as a couple. We actually broke up right before the Canada trip but we stayed together until the release of her EP at the Gathering all the same. We're great friends and we absolutely are going to continue to work together. In fact we start back up in the studio this week. We have a great idea for a future project called "The Prostitute" that we both think will be incredible.
The bottom line is simply this… say whatever you want to say about Blahzay Roze. We stand behind her no matter what and we will as long as she's with Psychopathic Records. People have called her music uncomfortable to listen to, and I find that kind of awesome. That's real horror rap. That's how I used to feel when listening to Esham way back in the day. It scared me to death! It's that heavy. I can tell you that as her personal life picks up and becomes brighter, her music and writing most likely will pick up as well and probably won't all be so grim and dark. Oh and I almost forgot… another thing people like to say about her raps is that I wrote them for her. HA! That's another funny one! The fuckin' truth is… I didn't write shit! If her stuff sounds similar to ICP's to you, that's probably because she was so heavily influenced by our shit. I myself like to think that the Juggalos out there who REALLY know my writing can tell that I DID NOT write her lyrics AT ALL. She wrote every song and I think she did a fuckin' fantastic job. I think "Raped at 15" is an incredibly visual song and "White Lights" is epic as well. Young Wicked and myself did help her come up with song subjects and titles. And we helped with some of the choruses as well but she definitely wrote every rhyme on that EP.
So yes, we did produce her debut EP (along with Young Wicked's help) just like we have for the first release of almost all of our artists over all the years. We are very proud of what we've created. If people are still confused about who or what she is all about, I'm confident the music to come will finish painting the portrait. We're also encouraging her to finish her paintings and most of all her novel! It's really, really good shit and it will be coming out on Psychopathic Books. There is much, much, much talent inside that girl and I'm telling you that right now. We are very proud to have her on the Psychopathic Records roster. If you're just not a fan, well, hey, you cant make everybody happy all the time. It's just impossible. But so far, so good. The EP is actually doing fuckin' fantastic.
Also whoever the fuck that asshole was pretending to be Blahzay Roze on Twitter contacting all those rappers asking for collabos, was just some snake trying to hustle money through PayPal. This again proves my point. As if any artist under our management would actually be so stupid to do something like that. Come on, man! Who actually believes this crap? I just don't get it. People are so quick to try and hurt her just because they are jealous. Just look at this message one of her friends received on Facebook! This guy is actually offering money for any hurtful information just to try and bring her down. It's insane to me.
There are 100s of these weak, pathetic assholes out there who are so feeble in the real world that they hide in internet land and try to be hurtful. Just like this idiot who's actually offering Becky's friends money for any hurtful, embarrassing information! What the fuck? Why? How sad and pathetic can a person be to want to spend his own money on something so evil!? Yes, Becky got lucky and received a huge break in her life and is now flying high. It saddens me to know that people who don't even know her at all just want to shoot her down. Kill her shine. They're not happy for their fellow Juggalo. They want to see her crash and burn out of pure jealousy. Why though? Because she was in the wet T-shirt contest at the Gathering? Who gives a shit! Since when does something like that make you a bad person in the eyes of a Juggalo? Male Juggalos tie their own dicks in a knot and receive mad props for it at the Gathering. Juggalettes walk around stark naked everywhere at the Gathering. Everybody is totally free to be themselves. Since when did we start judging people for shit like that? I thought the whole idea of being a Juggalo meant that everybody is accepted and nobody is rejected. It's just sad that people can be so hateful without even knowing her at all. That sucks, man.
There is something about her Juggalo crew that I think is very cool. They consider the word Juggalo to mean everybody -- male and female -- and I defiantly agree. I'm not against the term Juggalette by any means and neither is Blahzay, but I do consider the word Juggalo to mean everybody.
To learn more about Blahzay Roze check out her new website. It's pretty dope. She has her video for "Broken" posted there and much more content still to come, including a fascinating interview and some of her poetry. Some pictures are on there also. Check it out if you want at www.BlahzayRoze.com
Thanks for reading y'all MMFCLY!
Violent J The Duke, Baby! 4EVA!
Last but never least, for all the ninjas out there supporting us, Blahzay Roze and all of our artists… The holy creator knows that we love you, we appreciate you, your support and your time and us saying "thank you" just ain't a big enough way to express our gratitude. Just please know that we will always give our absolute best efforts possible to try to always continue to entertain you and bring you that fuckin' Dark Carnival thunder! We very much, for real LOVE y'all.

I ordered two of the $9.99 versions for both my men. My husband thought it was helpful, my son thought it a total waste.
Sometime in May, I get another disc mailing for each of them followed by dual charges to my credit card which I did not catch until a couple months later when I was auditing my cards.
Then another two sets came in July, so I called and asked to cancel. I asked for permission to send the unused, unopened packages back and was told that a supervisor would have to call me, but that there would be a partial refund.
In October, still no refund or phone call, so I called back and asked for approval to return the unauthorized packages. Again, I was told that a partial refund would be given, and that a supervisor would call.
It is November, and no one has yet to call and no refund has been given. I am mailing the packages back today regardless.

After many phone messages, we finally spoke to Gwen (the owner?), we cancelled the order and she agreed to process a credit to our VISA. After 2 weeks and no credit appearing on our VISA, we called again. She said she could not process a VISA credit, so she mailed a check. Still waiting for that check. I have filed a transaction dispute with VISA, so hoping to get our money back.
They take your money, but do not send the goods. And they repeatedly LIED!!

Second, I was debited twice for a payment I made online once. It took me 4 phone calls to find someone who could see my account and they weren't very helpful. I finally got them to cut a check for the over payment, but they will not reimburse me for the $108 in overdraft charges that their "glitch" caused. I really hope that nobody else had to go through this horrible inconvenience. I have filed a complaint with the BBB, we'll see if that gets them to correct their error!

Hi. I have a site at http://jgervase.com and a blog at http://jgervase.com/blog (hosted by wordpress.org). I set up a flash site over at http://www.creativemediadesigns.com. I was instructed to change my DNS nameservers on godaddy.com to their nameservers so I did that. A few hours later, my website and blog stopped working.
I tried a different solution - forwarding with masking. On godaddy.com, I set http://jgervase.com to forward to my website on creativemediadesigns.com. That worked fine; however, my blog does not work at all. It just takes me to the installation process page. I checked my files on godaddy - there's a file in there named /blog with all the original themes, wordpress files, etc. so I am not sure why it is not loading.
Any ideas?

I bought into SKUL at $5.28 PPS looking for some good capital gains. i believe all the bad news is built into the share prices and that SKUL is over sold with P/E at incredible low of 5.6. amazing. however, SKUL has experienced horrible hit with former CEO and is, IMO, poorly managed despite good marketing and product development. SKUL is 1.7% my stock portolio due to poor analysts reviews and horrible stock performance. on the other hand, i have KOSS at 5.65% of my stock portfolio. KOSS trades at $4.77 PPS with a P/E of 13.9 and bringing with it a terrific yield of 5%. KOSS is more high end than SKUL, has been around for 40 years and still recovering from CFO multi million dollar embezzlement a few years ago. why not cost average your SKUL investment with KOSS? i cost averaged KOSS with SKUL. this is no different than me covering my bets with owning both GM and Ford. the market for head phones, ear buds is huge and will not soon diminish. there is certainly room for both. you can bet on the product industry, not solely on the company. comments??

Leftover Salmon stops in Asheville on tour
Published: Friday, October 5, 2012 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, October 4, 2012 at 2:14 p.m.
Fans of Leftover Salmon went through an eight-year touring withdrawal as the Colorado-based band took an extended hiatus beginning in 2004.
"The hiatus was essential for us. I think it totally changed the paradigm of Leftover Salmon always having to be on the road to support the overall machine," said Drew Emmit, one of two original members left in the group.
Members had a chance to work with side projects, recharge their batteries and learn about life away from the almost-bluegrass, somewhat-rock band.
Emmit enjoyed his time away from the group as he toured with the Drew Emmit Band.
"I found out I could do this on my own," he said. "That's good to know — that you aren't dependent on a band for the rest of your life. Bands come and go. It's nice to know that push goes to shove, I can go out and do this on my own."
Leftover Salmon has returned to a long tour after doing a series of one-offs in the past year and have a new album, "Aquatic Hitchhiker," to tour behind.
The group, including Vince Herman (vocals, acoustic and electric guitar, mandolin); Emmit (vocals, mandolin, acoustic and electric guitar, mandola, fiddle); Andy Thorn (vocals, acoustic and electric banjo, National guitar); Greg Garrison (vocals, acoustic and electric bass, acoustic guitar) and Jose Martinez (drums, percussion) will play at 9 p.m. Wednesday at The Orange Peel in Asheville.
"We've played The Orange Peel a few times, and since getting back together, we wanted to come to Asheville," Emmit said.
While away from the road scene, band members didn't hear directly from fans, but have heard how they were missed since rejoining touring life.
Emmit said fans are excited and have responded positively to the shows.
If playing in front of adoring crowds isn't enough to get their juices flowing, the addition of Thorn has.
He joined the group two years ago.
"We've gone back to where we are more of a cohesive unit," Emmit said. "It's like in the early days, as Andy reminds me a lot of Mark Vann and his style. It's given us a new energy and a new outlook. It's fired us up. More than anything, it's gotten us excited to do this again."
Vann was one of the original members until his death in 2002.
The new music is similar to what brought Leftover Salmon its success since its 1989 inception.
"We're following the same formula," Emmit said. "It's roots Americana music with cajun, calypso, a little bit of rock 'n' roll and bluegrass, with some funky stuff. We play a bunch of different styles that we like."
The group has long been associated with the jam band scene.
"The jam band scene is great," Emmit said.
"I think what defines the jam band scene is the people who go to hear the music. It's a great crowd and we feel fortunate to be embraced by the jam band community.
"Leftover Salmon isn't your typical jam band, though. We're a little more song-based and not so much just playing long jams. We strive to incorporate long jams when we can, but we're based mostly out of being a bluegrass band turned rock band."

- Published on
- By Maralyn Edid
The idea of slow cooking food has been around almost as long as humanity's ability to make fire. The earliest peoples realized that the best method for cooking tough plant roots was slow-cooking them in fire for long periods of time. Although taste for this technique diminished as technology and the domestic arts evolved, interest in slow cooking has revived in recent years. These days you can find good cheap slow cookers that cost less than $40 and are capable of delivering a meal fit for a family. Just throw a few ingredients into the pot, turn it on, and dinner is ready when you are, several unattended hours later.

Cheap Slow Cookers Buying Guide
The Rival Corporation released the first branded Crock-Pot in 1971. The product was a huge success and instantly became a household name. Its design was so effective that today's best cheap slow cookers differ only slightly from the original -- the aesthetics and functionality are remarkably similar, but with a few modern embellishments.
Our cheap slow cooker picks are all no-muss/no-fuss kitchen gadgets that produce moist, flavorful dishes. Topping our list are the Hamilton Beach 33155 (starting at $20), a 5-quart, oval-shaped slow cooker with a rubber gasket around the lid, and the 1.5-quart Proctor Silex 33015 (starting at $15), a basic model that appeals for its small size and big performance. Two other cheap slow cookers we like are the 7-quart Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S (starting at $38), the rare programmable slow cooker in the under-$40 price range that earns positive reviews, and the 6-quart Hamilton Beach Stay or Go 33163 (starting at $25), with its cook-and-carry design features, including latches to secure the lid and a nook to store the included serving spoon. A cheap slow cooker that turns off consumers is the programmable 5-quart Crock-Pot 38501-W (starting at $23), which reviewers say cooks too hot and too fast.
Modern slow cookers come in a variety of shapes and sizes and boast a variety of bells and whistles. Cheap slow cooker sizes range from 1 to 7 quarts; the cooking vessel may be round, oval-shaped, or square. Some models feature digital control settings, programmable cooking functions, multiple separated sections, and a rack for roasting. While these features up the convenience factor, they're mostly available on slow cookers priced in the triple-digit zone, which is well above our Cheapism ceiling.
So, what do you get on the best cheap slow cookers? There are a few essential features that are nearly standard issue. One is a removable, dishwasher-safe ceramic container; ceramics help with insulation and heat distribution and a removable container makes clean-up much faster. Another must-have is a clear glass lid with a "stay-cool" handle. Slow cookers work by keeping heat in, so a clear lid lets you see what's going on inside without having to constantly lift it. Several heat settings are also important, because the options mean you'll be able to prepare a wider array of dishes and can safely leave the kitchen without fear of overcooking the food.
Some cheap slow cookers sport additional features that aren't necessary but can be helpful. The most common of these is a lid with a rubber gasket that helps seal in moisture and latches or straps that keep food from spilling out during cooking or transportation. One desirable but rare "extra" on a cheap slow cooker is a programmable function that lets you select a heat setting and a duration (time) setting; once the time runs out, the slow cooker automatically switches to "keep warm" to prevent drying out. And finally, an indicator light is a safety feature that lets you know whether the slow cooker is on or not.
The big players in the slow cookers category have remained constant over the years. Rival's Crock-Pot brand is still thriving and dominates the slow-cooker market. Other big players include Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid, and Frigidaire. Among these brands, Rival and Hamilton Beach offer the greatest selection of cheap slow cookers.
Slow Cooker Reviews
Budget slow cookers are rarely assessed by the experts, but slow cooker reviews posted by consumers are plentiful. The reviews we found indicate that the models that top our list are all stellar performers. Despite a few gripes about overcooked food, plastic parts that break, or units that failed even with limited use, users seem thrilled with the convenience, pricing, and overall value of these small appliances.
Slow Cookers Performance.Must-have features aside, what makes or breaks a best slow cooker is its performance. Slow cookers, after all, are not just another appliance, but for many consumers and their families it serves as the primary food-prep tool. As scores of slow cookers reviews attest, the best slow cookers are a welcome convenience that relieves consumers of the "when's-dinner-ready?" anxiety and can be a confidence-builder for novice cooks. The end results in terms of taste, texture, and "finish" (is the food cooked through? is it burnt?) distinguish the best slow cookers from the don't bothers. Slow cookers are often associated in the popular imagination with stews and chili. But thinking outside the proverbial pot can expand your culinary horizons. Slow cookers reviews indicate that these one-pot wonders can churn out a variety of foods, from small servings of oatmeal and dips to family-size meatball feasts and roasts, that satisfy the hungry hordes.
The 1.5-quart Proctor Silex 33015 (starting at $15) manages steel-cut oats and multigrain soup for breakfast, according to slow cooker reviews on Amazon as well as chicken legs with vegetables for dinner. Consumers rave about the delectable results and at least one mother is tickled that her twenty-something son, now out on his own, has served up tasty stews with this model. Consumers who posted slow cooker reviews at Walmart laud the Hamilton Beach 33155 (starting at $20) for the range of meal possibilities, like shredded beef and the fixings for fajitas, and for the enticing aromas wafting through the air after a day of slow cooking. Many consumers report giving this best slow cooker a workout at least several times a week, and one even uses it to cook chicken dinners for a pampered pet.
It's hard to go wrong with the Hamilton Beach 33163 (starting at $25) even if you make up your own recipes, asserts a slow cooker review at Best Buy. Posts on other review sites frequently refer to mouth-watering pulled pork, soups, holiday cider, and Christmas dinner. Experts at How Stuff Works tested the Hamilton Beach 33163 by cooking a large batch of chili and found that the meat was tender and all the flavors well combined after hours of cooking. The large, 7-quart Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S (starting at $38) can properly cook a 9-pound turkey breast, according to a slow cooker review at Walmart, where several users note the oval shape is particularly well-suited to whole chickens and roasts. Even frozen roasts emerge juicy and fully cooked, its fans say, although a few disgruntled users who commented on Overstock complain that this model cooks too hot (food is burnt and dry) or too slow (ingredients barely warm after several hours).
Other amazing slow-cooker feats include a rocky-road chocolate cake and meatloaf-potato-and frozen Italian green bean dinner concocted with the Crock-Pot 3735-WN (starting at $24), reports a gleeful slow cooker review at Amazon. The Crock-Pot 32041-C Little Dipper (starting at $14) stands out for its unusual abilities -- warming up shaving lather or liquids for soldering jewelry, say -- as much for its intended use as a sauce and dip warmer. (Some slow cookers, including the Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S and West Bend 84384 (starting at $23), come with a recipe book. For those that don't, we read several slow cooker reviews expressing a desire for one.)
At the opposite end of the performance spectrum sits the Crock-Pot 38501-W (starting at $23). Slow cooker reviews on sites such as Newegg.com blast the temperature control on this model. Users report liquids boil and sputter and foods burn even when set on low; roasts that should take 8 hours turn into shoe leather in less than three, according to slow cooker reviews.
Slow Cooker Capacity
A slow cooker is a slow cooker, and two of its few distinguishing characteristics are slow cooker size, otherwise known as capacity, and shape. Be it a 6-quart slow cooker or a 2-quart model, experts say that optimal results are achieved when the slow cooker is between half and three-quarters full. As for shape, some consumers assert that oval slow cookers outperform round slow cookers because there seems to be more surface area on which to place the ingredients.
The Crock-Pot 32041-C Little Dipper with a 16-ounce capacity is the smallest slow cooker we researched. Next in line are 1- to 2-quart models, like the 1.5-quart Proctor Silex 33015, which are just the right size for a one- to two-person meal. Consumers say it neatly holds a cut-up chicken breast or legs with sauce or some vegetables; singletons report it makes enough food for one dinner plus leftovers.
The most common slow cooker size is the 3- to 5-quart range. These slow cookers, such as the 5-quart Hamilton Beach 33155, are considered "family-size" and perfect for neighborhood potlucks. Home cooks posting at Walmart.com consider the 4-quart West Bend 84384 the right size for most recipes that feed up to four people. The largest capacity slow cookers for home use are 8-quart models, but a 6-quart slow cooker is sufficient for large families or get-togethers and for leftovers destined for the freezer. For many reviewers of the Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S, its 7-quart capacity is their favorite feature.
Our research into 6-quart slow cookers and other popular sizes also found that the actual usable capacity may be smaller than advertised. For example, user reviews claim that the cooking vessel in the 5-quart Hamilton Beach 33155 only holds 4 quarts worth of ingredients.
The shape of the slow cooker matters to some users, and we found that oval slow cookers are often preferred to their round counterparts. Among those we researched, the Hamilton Beach 33155, Hamilton Beach 33141 (starting at $24), Hamilton Beach 33163, Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S, and West Bend 84384 are all oval slow cookers. Users assert that the oval shape allows for larger cuts of meat, nicely contains a whole chicken, and works better for casseroles -- even lasagna, according to a comment posted at Amazon. Consumers also say the spacious but efficient design of oval slow cookers hogs less precious counter space than a round slow cooker with the same capacity.
Slow Cooker Lids.The lid on low-cost slow cookers is made of clear glass with a "stay-cool" plastic handle on top. The rounded shape of the glass and the glass itself help collect and distribute moisture during the cooking process. The clarity of the glass lets you see the food without lifting the lid, which would otherwise interfere with the proper functioning of the slow cooker. There have been two improvements on the standard lid design. First, many slow cookers, especially those marketed as "cook and go" (or some variant thereof) now include a rubber gasket around the rim, which creates a tighter seal and traps moisture within. Absent a gasket, all the steam and pent-up pressure may cause the lid to rattle as steam escapes; models with the rubber gasket generally include a small hole in the lid to vent the steam. The gasket also prevents leaks and spills while moving a full slow-cooker from kitchen to some other venue. Both the Hamilton Beach 33155 and Hamilton Beach 33163 Stay or Go slow cookers sport gaskets.
Consumers do appreciate these rubber seals, noting they make it possible to transport a pot filled with cider, say, to potluck dinners or cookouts without worries about the contents sloshing on to the back seat of the car. But there may be a downside to the seals. Reviews on sites such as Target.com ding the gasket for capturing and retaining cooking odors (think onion) that leach back into future meals.
The second innovation is a mechanism for securing the lid. This arrangement likewise keeps a tighter seal and prevents spillage during cooking or transport. The latches on the Hamilton Beach 33163 Stay or Go get a few shout-outs in user reviews, although one says the combination of side latches and handles make it hard to lift a full pot out of the cooking bay. A strap that wraps around the lid and side handles of the Hamilton Beach 33155 claims both fans and a few critics, the latter saying it doesn't work (either too tight or too loose); some note that the lid says in place even without the band.
Slow Cooker Heat Settings
The best budget slow cookers, including all of our picks, feature three heat settings -- high, low, and keep warm. Most slow cookers at this end of the price range are manual models with a single knob (or dial) made of "stay-cool" plastic that's turned to set the heat level. A few cheap slow cookers, like the Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S and Crock-Pot 38501-W, qualify as programmable slow cookers with their push-button control for several cook time and heat level combinations (4 or 6 hours on high, 8 or 10 hours on low); when the time runs out, the programmable slow cooker automatically switches to "warm" until the cooker is unplugged. Higher-end programmable slow cookers are more versatile. The Crock-Pot CP SCVT650-PS (starting at $175) can be programmed for up to 26 hours.
Of course, manual slow cookers require the cook to make the switch from high or low to keep warm (or off) at the appointed hour. With a programmable slow cooker, the switchover to warm occurs automatically, so you can leave the pot completely unattended until serving time. The auto-warm feature on the Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S was the key selling point for several consumers who commented on Walmart.com, although some found the four pre-set heat/time combinations too limiting.
Consumers note that some trial and error may be necessary before finding the heat level and cook time that works for a given recipe. For example, you may start a dish on high for an hour or so and then switch to low for several more hours to complete the cooking. Or, you might determine that four hours on high or ten on low will do the trick. Switching over to warm when cooking is done maintains the status quo for a while.
Indeed, countless reviews of the best cheap slow cookers indicate that consumers rely on the warm setting to prevent food from overcooking, burning, and/or drying out. Expert reviews of the Proctor Silex 33015 list the "keep warm" setting as one of the model's biggest "pros" because it affords busy cooks another level of scheduling flexibility. A pork roast and vegetables that simmered for five hours in the Hamilton Beach 33163 and rested on warm for one hour proved to be mouth-watering, says a consumer post on Overstock. Then there's the Crock-Pot 38501-W, which takes heat from consumers who assert that it runs so hot that the contents boil even when set on warm.
The absence of a warm setting may not be a deal breaker, however. The 3.5-quart Crock-Pot 3735-WN (starting at $24) rates highly with consumers who report on Amazon that the high and low settings are enough functionality to insure a delicious meal.
Slow Cooker Safety.Slow cookers are generally considered to be among the safest of cooking appliances. There's no open flame and temperatures rarely reach boiling point. And "stay-cool" handles are the norm. Still, it's important to take care when using a slow cooker. For example, it's generally a good idea to put the slow cooker on a heat-proof surface, such as marble, steel, or ceramic tile, when in operating mode. Also, most budget slow cookers don't have skid-free legs and may slide if nudged too hard. Although slow cookers are designed to keep the heat in, the outside often gets hot. This seems to be more of a problem on some models than others. A number of users who commented on Amazon about the Hamilton Beach 33141 mention that the outer walls get hot enough to burn. Some consumers likewise assert that the lid handle on the Crock-Pot 38501-W is too hot to touch.
An indicator light that signals when the slow cooker is powered on is a good safety feature. It's less common on manual slow cookers but does make an appearance on the Hamilton Beach 33163 and the West Bend 84384. Experts consider the absence of an indicator light a strike against the otherwise well-regarded Hamilton Beach 33141. Both programmable slow cookers we researched, the Crock-Pot SCCPVP700-S and Crock-Pot 38501-W, sport an indicator light.

Mesa County home sales are on the rise. According to Bray Real Estate Agency, the total number of homes sold this year so far in the Grand Valley is up 11 percent from this time last year, and 43 percent from two years ago. Christi Reece, broker associate at Bray Real Estate, says homes priced between $100,000 and $200,000 are selling particularly well.
"The under 200 price range has really taken off," Reece says. "We are seeing multiple offers on properties. It's definitely the best it has been in the last few years."
She says more than 800 homes have sold already this year in the Grand Valley in that price range. With interest rates at a historic low, she says it's the time to buy, and that's what people are doing.
"There's competition for those buyers so they have to be really fast to get those great properties that are priced well," she says.
Reece says it's a variety of people buying the smaller homes; from people relocating to the Grand Valley from out of state, to investors.
"We are seeing investors getting back into the market now so that's a really good sign because they're trusting that it's a safe investment and that they'll be able to rent those properties," Reece says.
According to data from GJARA Multiple Listing Service, the year-to-date median home price for 2012 sales is $163,000- up from $161,000 in 2011. Homes are also selling faster, staying on the market for 19 percent fewer days than last year.

on December 3, 2013 - 12:01 AM
LOS ANGELES – The death of actor Paul Walker in an automobile accident Saturday has left fans and the film community reeling – and Hollywood facing a series of tricky business decisions.
As filmmakers and fellow performers remembered him as a deeply likable everyman with a taste for adventure, principals on the late actor's signature "Fast & Furious" franchise were left to deal with Walker's tragic passing on the screen.
Walker's death in a single-car crash in Santa Clarita, Calif., came as he was preparing to resume production on "Fast & Furious 7," with a return to the Atlanta set scheduled for Monday to shoot more scenes as rogue ex-cop Brian O'Conner.
Earlier in the fall, Walker had shot an unspecified number of scenes for the car-themed action picture, which this go-round centers on a vengeful rivalry between racing crews.
With Walker's death, director James Wan, lead producer Neal Moritz and executives at Universal Pictures have a decision to make on the film, set for release July 11.
It is believed that there is not nearly enough material in the can to close O'Conner's character arc in the picture, which would mean rewriting the script to allow for a new resolution – a complicated and timely process – or cutting Walker out of the film entirely. Walker's planned scenes this week will almost certainly mean a schedule shuffle and could also lead to production being halted.
Universal would not comment beyond a brief condolence message sent to reporters by a spokeswoman late Saturday. Moritz did not reply to a request for comment on plans for "Fast 7" in the wake of Walker's death.
While the sudden passing of a director can throw an entire project into jeopardy – Tony Scott's suicide in summer 2012 effectively derailed a planned "Top Gun" reboot – actor deaths have often meant the film is released as a tribute of sorts, providing their work has been completed. James Gandolfini, Heath Ledger and James Dean all had well-received posthumous releases.
Walker's role in "Fast 7," though, is a tightrope walk for Universal, which understandably would want to promote the actor's final film without appearing to be capitalizing on it.
Walker's sudden death also raises questions about the long-term viability of the series. "Fast & Furious" movies have grossed $2.3 billion worldwide, with the most recent, 2013's "Fast Six," the highest-grossing ($789 million).
While the series – which already has an eighth film in development – has rotated characters in and out over its 12-year history, the nucleus has been the buddy dynamic of Walker's O'Conner and Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto, who have been in every movie but "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," the series' least successful installment.
Still, many in Hollywood expect it to continue, with the brand considered a larger draw than any single performer.
Walker, 40, died as a Santa Clarita charity event and car show was winding down, when he and friend Roger Rodas went for a ride in a red Porsche, a witness said.
Jim Torp heard a loud boom and said he knew in his heart that his friends had been in an accident.
The smoke from the crash was visible from Always Evolving, the automotive shop where car enthusiasts and supporters were gathered. The event was held in support of Walker's first-aid organization, Reach Out Worldwide, with proceeds earmarked for families affected by the typhoon in the Philippines and a tornado in Indiana, Torp said.
Sheriff's officials said speed may have been a factor in the crash, which occurred on a quiet street with a 45-mph limit. The car knocked over a tree and a concrete lamp post. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, sheriff's Deputy Kim Manatt told the Los Angeles Times.
Walker has several other pictures already shot; Saturday's news had those films' distributors contemplating their options.
Walker's survival drama "Hours" had been set by the boutique company Pantelion Films for a limited theatrical and VOD release on Dec. 13.
On Sunday morning, Pantelion Chief Executive Paul Presburger and "Hours" producer Peter Safran convened to discuss whether to push that date.
"We thought long and hard about pulling the release," Presburger said. "We were trying to determine what was the best way to honor him and this movie that he was very proud of. But this is the plan we pitched in the room to Paul – the one he was excited about – and we're going to move forward with it."
In the film, Walker plays a man trying to keep his infant daughter alive in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.
The movie represents perhaps Walker's biggest role and certainly one of his most emotional. Shot in New Orleans in just 18 days, "Hours" was also the first movie Walker produced.
In September, Walker had also finished shooting "Brick Mansions," a crime drama penned by Luc Besson. Relativity Media has weighed a release in the first quarter of 2014, with nothing finalized yet, a spokesman said.

Using this macro in a post, I have a problem with usernames that are divided by a hyphen or a dot.
In the first example, the first letter of the word after the hyphen is always capitalized and, in the second one, the first letter of the part after the dot is always in lowercase.
1. Username named Power-driven turns out to be Power-Driven.
2. Username named No.Ki. turns out to be No.ki.
In the author archives, however, all is well.
Hoping for a quick fix in the near future. :)

MOREHEAD, Ky. - Morehead State will host Morehead Hysteria at Johnson Arena on Thursday, Oct. 24, at 7:30 p.m. ET. The annual event is free of charge and will feature both 2013-14 Eagle basketball teams, along with the MSU cheerleaders and dance team.
The 34-time national champion cheerleading program will start the festivities, which will be followed by the introduction of the women's team at approximately 7:35 p.m. A three-point contest and light scrimmage will be held following the introductions.
"This was an exciting event last year, and we are looking forward to seeing lots of Eagle fans on Oct. 24," Head Women's Basketball Coach Tom Hodges said. "We have been working hard throughout the offseason, and we hope everyone will come out to see the team."
After a performance by the dance team, the men's team will be introduced at approximately 8 p.m. A dunk contest and seven minute scrimmage will close out the festivities.
"We are looking forward to this year's Morehead Hysteria," Head Men's Basketball Coach Sean Woods said. "We have a nice mixture of returning players and newcomers to show our fans. This should be a terrific night for both basketball programs."
The women's team will begin its schedule with a home exhibition contest on Friday, Nov. 1, at 5:15 p.m. versus Kentucky Christian.
The men will begin play on Saturday, Nov. 2, with a home exhibition versus St. Catharine (Ky.). Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.

The play-off will only take place if results on Sunday mean the two London clubs are equal on points, goal difference and goals scored.
A Premier League statement said: "Should a play-off be necessary the Premier League has made arrangements for a single match to take place at Villa Park on Sunday 26 May 2013. The match will take place early afternoon with a kick-off time to be confirmed should results require the match to go ahead."
Chelsea are due to play City twice in the USA - with the second match at New York's Yankee stadium on May 25, the day before the play-off date. The Premier League statement says both the clubs have been consulted.
It states: "In the event of results in the Chelsea v Everton and Newcastle v Arsenal Barclays Premier League matches being a Chelsea draw, and an Arsenal win by a single-goal margin having scored two more than Chelsea, both teams would be level on points, goal difference and goals scored."
Under Premier League Rules this would lead to a play-off being required to decide which club finishes third and fourth, thereby determining which club enters the UEFA Champions League at the group stage and which at the play-off stage.
Tickets will be allocated equally between each club and will be priced at £20 and £30 with concessions for children and senior citizens priced at a 50% reduction.

We've warned readers about protecting your online profiles on Social Media sites. You could be blindsided by an ALJ who questions you at your hearing about something that appeared on Facebook. It has already happened to some claimants.
Even federal courts have cited internet information that it found about a plaintiff in a Social Security appeal case. See, e.g., Purvis v. Commissioner, 2011 WL 741234 (D. NJ, Feb 23, 2011). In Purvis, the court noted that a picture it discovered on Facebook of an allegedly asthmatic claimant smoking could undermine their credibility "if accurate."
A new development in this area is that SSA has warned all of its decision makers (which includes initial claims "analysts" and ALJs), that they should not use Internet sites and social media networks to obtain information about you.
In a Policy Instruction issued on April 16, 2012, SSA stated that decision makers are to use "approved" methods for gathering information when determining credibility. They must not use:
uncorroborated information from Internet and social networking sites when determining disability, and should not instigate any independent investigations. As it is impossible for decision makers to determine the accuracy of information found on Internet and social networking sites, they must not use material from such sites when making a disability determination.
Instead, they should consider the entire record when making a credibility finding.
SSA also noted that decision-makers can and should consider information obtained from the Internet that is included in a report when a claim is investigated for fraud.
Despite this new instruction, we still feel it is wise to limit public access to any online profile you may have. Even though SSA cannot openly use this information against you, it may not stop some decision makers from searching for the information to reach a conclusion about your honesty.
