Kill Kenada are from Bognor Regis, England. You might say they are the UK's answer to Sonic Youth, and the answer is "get the fuck on with it!" Their new album, From Maggots to Flies, provides 30 minutes of noisy art-punk, bookended by two slow songs devoid of drums or amplification.
If you're a Regina Spektor fan, then maybe you've already heard them -- they featured on "Your Honor," from Soviet Kitsch. If not, then imagine three skilled punks playing for their lives. They've had three drummers since forming in 2001, and it's easy to imagine them dropping out due to the pace.
They're aggressive and loud -- hence "punk." But their riffs are complicated and musical in the At the Drive-In, Future of the Left vein -- hence "art."
Bassist Tim Smithen and guitarist Dan Williams both favor Fenders, meaning their sound is angular and screechy but clear through the distortion. Drummer "Stevie Styx" plays at a million miles an hour, cymbals crashing everywhere, but is as controlled as the other two. Tim's vocals don't make much sense, but move at will from a low singing voice to a strained yell.
While every track here (except maybe the bookends "Scumbag" and "Back") is worth listening to, is it fair to call a 30 minute record (no CDs -- only vinyl and download) an album?
I've been waiting five years for this album and I didn't feel short-changed. "The Ballad of Nancy Walker," for instance, was only three minutes long, but felt like a seven-minute song squeezed into a smaller container. That's how this album, and all good punk, works -- it hits you hard and fast, and leaves you winded but grinning.
The only place to buy Kill Kenada's physical media seems to be their website. From Maggots to Flies is available to stream here.

I was just wondering, would the speed of lightning be even speedier if it didn't waste time zigzagging about the sky? And how do you go about greasing the stuff, anyway?
Just wondering, where does weight go when you lose it? Is it hiding in the closet, the weight waiting to pounce till you bounce?
Questions like these pingpong about my brain or perhaps pinball.
It runs in the family. My cousin Anne zapped me a note: ''Here's a project for you if your ever-fertile mind runs out of thoughts: What phrase is going to replace, 'He sounds like a broken record'? Scratched CD?''
Oh, great. More questions to ponder.
Perhaps, ''He sounds like a YouTube video caught in a buffering loop.'' Or ''like sticky keys on a computer.'' Better than sounding like a cellphone traveling through a tunnel, I suppose.
Questions like these keep us up at night. For example, what if there were no hypothetical situations? What would we do then?
By the way, have people who claim to sleep like a baby ever lived with one? Do they realize the average baby wakes up fussing every two to three hours? Just wondering.
Here are more questions pondered by a variety of us ponderers:
So how many weeks are there in a light year? Is there a need for Daylight-saving Time?
If a rocket travels at the speed of light, and it has headlights, would they work? Does dark have a speed?
At how many words does a short story turn into a novel?
Just wondering, can I set my laser printer on stun?
If one synchronized swimmer drowns, are the rest required to do so as well?
The question is oft asked but I've never heard it answered: Exactly how much wood COULD a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? If the woodchuck chucked wood in the forest and there was no one around, would the wood the woodchuck chucked make a sound? And if it could, why would a woodchuck chuck wood anyway? Who's Chuck?
What's the Roman numeral for zero? Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as ''fours?''
Just wondering, why can't we spell it ''orderves?'' It makes more sense to manoover the letters that way - unless you're trying to show off your intellijense.
Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons? Why?
If most auto accidents happen within five miles of home, why don't we just move 10 miles away? And what about those mid-air plane crashes - why are all those planes crowding about the middle air instead of higher or lower?
Just wondering, would the ocean be deeper if all those sponges weren't growing in there?
If most people use a No. 2 pencil, why is it still No. 2? Does it try Eberharder?
Are clones people two?
Would a meal of pasta and antipasto in the same meal be the perfect diet because they would cancel out each other's calories? Would you still be hungry?
What color is a chameleon standing on a mirror?
If you try to fail, and succeed, have you failed or succeeded?
Just wondering, isn't it too late to cure the ham if the pig's already dead?
Is there a shorter word for abbreviated?
What does ignorant mean?
Just wondering, what would happen if I push this red button?

In our previous lesson, we learned how to use -(으)ㄹ 줄 알다 to say "to think/know that something will happen". This sentence ending, however, can be also used to express "can", "to be able to", or "to know how to". The same meanings can also be expressed through -(으)ㄹ 수 있다, so through this lesson, let's find out how these two verb endings are used similarly or differently to express "can" or "to be able to".

Who Will Pick Up Huckabee's Baggage?
Ever since Mike Huckabee announced that he would not be running for president in 2012, countless pieces have been written speculating which remaining candidate benefits the most from his decision. Is it Michele Bachmann? It is Tim Pawleny? Is it Herman Cain or Rick Santorum?
But I have a different question: which remaining candidate will be the one to welcome the support of the fringe Religious Right leaders who made up Huckabee's Faith and Family Values Coalition the last time around?
In 2008, Huckabee could get no love from the "establishment" Religious Right leaders, but he was adored by the ultra-radical fringe leaders of the movement like Janet Porter, who believes that America has been cursed for electing President Obama and that Obama wanted to commit genocide against the American population and lock conservatives up in internment camps. Porter also believes that Christians should be in complete control of government and that tornadoes are God's wrath against us our nation for our positions on abortion and Israel.
Or what about Rick Scarborough, the self-proclaimed "Christocrat" who believes that AIDS is God's judgment and that it is his duty to "mix church and state God's way" in order to stop the country's "slide further into Communism/Socialism [and] sexual anarchy led by sodomites."
And let's not forget Mat Staver of Liberty Counsel, who is reportedly teaching law students to break the law in order to fight the gay agenda while working to keep "moral perverts" out of the military, defeat the "Antichrist spirit" that seeks to destroy marriage, and prevent Obama from becoming a global dictator.
These kinds of activists were Huckabee's bread-and-butter, along with End Times obsessives like Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye, Homeschool champions like Mike Farris, and the boycott-happy head of the American Family Association Don Wildmon.
Where are these activists going to go now that Huckabee is not running?
They certainly are not just going to sit on the sidelines, so some lucky GOP candidate is eventually going to pick up their endorsement ... and all the crazy right-wing baggage that comes right along with it.

There's moolah to be made
Cultural confluences are another creative way to sell India and more tourists are good news for everybody.
Karen Stone Talwar has had a long relationship with Indian art - as a collector, as head of Bodhi Art gallery in New York and later as a consultant. Now in her new avatar as a travel specialist, she's introducing a group of Western tourists to the best of Indian art.
The trip focused around the India Art Fair, which opens in the capital next week, is a luxury affair. Guests will stay at five-star hotels, lunch with art experts like Amin Jaffer, the international director of Asian art at Christie's, drink cocktails with gallerists and have dinner and conversation with critically claimed artists like Mithu Sen and A Balasubramaniam. "Ours is a boutique travel adventure experience which goes beyond "seeing the sites, " says Talwar, whose firm Adventures in Art offers exclusive tours to some of the world's leading art fairs: Art Basel Switzerland and The Armory Show in New York. The India art fair is the most recent addition to the itinerary with a five-day package coming for $8, 000 per person, excluding airfare.
It's not just art that is putting India on the international tourist map. The lit fests are an even bigger draw. Entry to the Jaipur event may be free, but hotel rooms are scarce and expensive. "Almost all city hotels are packed during this five-day span, " says Rajesh Rajpurohit, general manager of the Ramada hotel. Hotels, resorts and guest houses have lined up special festival packages for tourists. Says a guest house owner in Jaipur, "Such events give a huge boost to tourism. At one go, 3, 000 to 5, 000 rooms get booked. And the spoils trickle down to everyone - shop owners, restaurant owners, taxi agencies, tourist guides."
Tourism is one of the reasons why every pretty corner in the country has its own music festival. A music festival is a creative, clever way to attract travellers. One of the highlights of the India Surf Festival at Puri is live performances by I20DUB - a collaboration by Argentinean and Indian artists and a didgeridoo player. Goa didn't need Sunburn to boost tourism, but a number of Indian tourists who would earlier shy away from stepping into the state now come in hordes just to attend the festival. If there were just 5, 000 visitors in 2007, in 2011 Axwell, Gabriel & Dresden, Pete Tong, Above & Beyond, Nick Fancuilli and several other artistes had 1, 00, 000 people grooving along on the three days. With its mix of music and entertainment, Sunburn panders to certain lifestyle aspirations. "Sunburn is so much more than a music festival. The fans come for the experience, " is Percept joint managing director Shailendra Singh's assertion.

Co-edited by Anahid Kassabian (University of Liverpool) and Ian Gardiner (Goldsmiths College), the journal is truly interdisciplinary, inviting contributions across a range of critical methodologies, including musicology and music analysis, film studies, popular music studies, cultural theory, aesthetics, semiotics, sociology, marketing, sound studies, and music psychology.
Call for Papers – Special Issue on Gender and Sexuality
Special Issue Editor: Catherine Haworth
Research into the function and effect of the soundtrack in audiovisual media continues to develop and diversify, but investigation of the theories and ideologies of difference remain underrepresented within these debates. One such area is that of gendered and sexual difference, where despite significant contributions by several scholars, a systematic, focused, and extensive body of work has yet to emerge. Submissions that consider the sonic representation, articulation, or dissemination of gendered and sexual identities or ideologies are therefore invited for this special issue of Music, Sound, and the Moving Image, which aims to build upon the strengths of existing work and explore new directions for future research.
Contributions may take the form of full length essays (around 7,500 words) or shorter position papers (1,000-1,500 words) that articulate a particular analytical, critical, theoretical, or methodological standpoint or issue. The journal is also committed to publishing English translations of significant articles from other languages, and proposals or recommendations for translations within the remit of this edition are also welcome. Topics that contributors may wish to address include, but are not limited to:
• The application or relevance of queer theory or notions of difference to any aspect of the soundtrack
• The collapse of categories of difference together within the space of the soundtrack
• Feminist analyses of individual texts, or feminist approaches to wider issues or concepts within soundtrack studies
• Masculinities and their sonic articulation or problematisation within audiovisual media
• The relationship(s) between subjectivity, gender, and sexuality in multimedia texts and/or their audiences
• Relationships between gender, sexuality and the voice in audiovisual media, including any aspects of spoken or sung vocality
• The engagement of the soundtrack with gendered character archetypes and their various roles, behaviours, and potential audience appeals – the 'hero', 'heroine', 'femme fatale', 'villain' etc. and their incarnations across various media forms and genres
• The role(s) and effects of gender and sexuality within production, distribution, and marketing practices in audiovisual media
• Consideration of gendered and sexual identities within audience, fan, and reception cultures, including ethnographic or psychologically-based approaches
• The relationship between star and fan texts, identities, and cultures with gender, sexuality, and the soundtrack
The final deadline for submissions is 31 October 2011. Please send any queries to Catherine Haworth email@example.com
For more information on Music Sound and the Moving Image, please see our website: http://www.liverpool-unipress.co.uk/html/publication.asp?idProduct=3727

Big Bad
this wiki
Big Bad is a term originally used for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer to describe its major antagonists but has since been used by some critics and fans for multiple other shows, including Supernatural.
The title is divided into the main villains and the secondary villains. The Big Bad is the main villain of the season, orchestrating events behind the scenes, while the secondary villain(s) often (but not always) serve the Big Bad, appearing more regularly and antagonizing the heroes. In some cases, there are several antagonists that also work against each other, other than just antagonizing the Winchesters. Some Big Bads are introduced early on into the season and act as the Big Bad throughout the major arc, while some are later revealed to simply be secondary villains, and are then replaced by the season's true Big Bad or some other character also playing an antagonist role.

I'd say if you are just using it as an ingredient, it really doesn't matter much what brand. I compared Nescafe to Via once and thought Nescafe was better.
Not looking to go to some smarmy fancy place to buy coffee beans from some pure untouched by the Hans of man valley. Just a possible brand of cheap coffee I can mix into homemade ice cream and the occasional smoothie or cup of coffee. Would Folgers work or should I go a tad bit higher in quality?

I make a lot of coffee ice cream and we use Starbucks brand Via in decaf. Then end product is tasty. I use about one of the packets for a 1 1/2 qt ice cream batch. People freak out how good it tastes. You can buy small packs of 4 or so , so try it out and find your favorite. They have more flavors in the car vs the decaf.

I think Trader Joe's has an instant coffee
...Nescafe Colombian (blue jar) is my favourite -- better than brewed coffee to me!...hebs
Another vote for Nescafe. Their columbian is delicious.
Or buy a bag of some Italian espresso and brew some of that up. That is some tasty, tasty stuff.

Do not allow yourself to become wrapped up in a food 'lifestyle'. That is ego, and you are not that.
My vote goes to 8'oclock coffee, not great, but better then most name brands and fairly cheap. If you have a Trader Joes near you their Bay Blend is excellent. Don't know much about decaff.

Savannah, Ga. - Junior setter Kelli Carneal (Fredericksburg, Va.) had 29 assists and seven kills to lead the Stetson volleyball team (7-15) to a dominating 25-15, 25-12, 25-15 sweep at Savannah State (0-20) Tuesday evening at Wiley Gymnasium.

Do You Love What You Do?
Editor's Note: This is a guest post by Professor Jim O'Donnell, author of The Shortest Investment Book Ever, but this post has nothing to do with investing or retirement. When I read Jim's biography, I was struck by the fact that he gave up a lucrative career in the financial industry to teach at a little college in Indiana. Three months after moving, his wife was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer.
This is a tremendously powerful story that I asked Jim to share with us, one told in his first book Letters for Lizzie. It's a long story but I think it's well worth the time. If you're not free now, you can print it out and read it later, but please read it.
Wait! How 'bout, do you even like what you do?
I'm grateful to Jim for having shared so much enthusiasm for my little work – The Shortest Investment Book Ever – to help people save for retirement. But saving money for retirement is only one part — even if a big part — of the larger challenge that life deals us as we face our retirements. And I think each of us begins facing that challenge long before we actually retire. We may be led to examine and change our spending. We may contemplate moving to a lower cost area or to place we've always wanted to live. We may begin thinking about what we will do with all the time – which could be a source of joy or trouble – that retirement will give us. And as we begin to look at these different issues and plan for the future, it's not too soon, if you're still at work, to think hard about what you're doing right now.
If I could, I'd encourage you to do the kind of work that makes your heart sing. I'd want you to find that place in life – and in your work – where your joy in doing something intersects with the world's need to have something done. I'm convinced that that's place where real joy lives. And that's where I'd wish you to live.
Do you love what you do?

Maybe you can focus on losing wieght after you get control of the pancreatitis.
I eat close to 100% primal (no grains, dairy, artificial sweeteners). My major indulgence in the past has been almond butter, and sometimes a square of baking chocolate (no sugar at all).
Two weeks ago, I had a sudden attack of pancreatitis which doctors suspect was caused by a gallstone, but so far all tests have been negative (I'm still being tested). I was hospitalized for three days but thanks to the glucose drip and high sugar "liquid" breakfast I had to eat, no weight loss even though I had nothing by mouth!
I've lost a lot of weight (very, very slowly) and would like to drop another 10 lbs before maintenance, but here is my problem. Because of the gastric problem, I need to eat very low fat for at least the next few months. I will not mess with my pancreas!
I'm eating mainly fish, egg white "omelets" and veggies (mainly broccoli and spinach). I can use salsa for seasoning. I actually like my food and should be able to lose with this WOE--except for the fact that the lack of fat is making me hungry! I'm afraid that I'll cave and eat a 'low fat' bagel at some point if I can't get satiated. But how can I without fat? I know if I start adding some starchy carbs (brown rice, oatmeal), that will escalate into far too many carbs for me.
Advice on how to deal with this?
Maybe you can focus on losing wieght after you get control of the pancreatitis.
Thanks. I'm really not trying to lose in the middle of my tests, etc. But I don't want to get into bad eating habits either.
Learn to love root veggies, I guess. You've got to get your calories somewhere.
Give me liberty. Exploration of other options will be vigorously discouraged.

RANGOON — A Burmese beauty queen who was stripped of her title for allegedly being rude and dishonest has run off with the US$100,000 jeweled crown, a South Korea-based pageant said Friday.
Burma, which only recently emerged from a half-century military rule and self-imposed isolation, started sending contestants to international beauty pageants for the first time in decades in 2012.
May Myat Noe was crowned Miss Asia Pacific World in Seoul in May 2014. But, according to David Kim, director of media for the Seoul-based pageant, the 18-year-old was a disappointment from the start.
Attempts to reach May Myat Noe for comment were unsuccessful Friday and her Burmese phone was switched off. According to the online edition of Eleven Media, a Burmese newspaper, she was back in the country and would address a news conference soon, although it wasn't clear when.
Following her success, the organizers said they were arranging singing and video deals for her. But they also wanted to change the 5' 7" teen's looks, Kim said.
"We thought she should be more beautiful … so as soon as she arrived we sent her to the hospital to operate on her breasts," he said.
"It's our responsibility," he said, adding that sponsors picked up the $10,000 tab, as they have for past winners. "If she has no good nose, then maybe, if she likes, we can operate on her nose. If it's breasts, then breasts."
Kim said that troubles started from there. The beauty queen brought her mother with her to Seoul for what was supposed to be a 10-day visit, but that quickly turned into three months, incurring extra cost to the organizers, he said.
She "lied" and "never had respect for the main organization, the national director, the manager, media or fans who made her the winner," organizers said in a statement.
May Myat Noe was notified earlier this week that she would have to give up her title and the crown, Kim said. She was also given an airplane ticket back to Rangoon, but never showed up, with Eleven Media reporting that she got on an earlier flight.
Kim said she absconded with the bejeweled Swarovski tiara—valued anywhere between $100,000 and $200,000.
"Everyone knows she is no longer the queen, but she thinks as long as she keeps this crown she's the winner," he said. "She's not."
It is really ashamed. I sometimes feel embarrassed to tell that I am from Myanmar when I go abroad. Some years ago, Myanmar national footballers were reported to steal things when they went oversea matches. And, when SEA was held in Singapore, Myanmar footballers were reported to be rude to the referees. Now again, the new beauty queen who has brought the country in the regional media spotlight (in good way) after long years of military rule. Embarrassingly enough, I am reading this news again!
I am not a racist. But It is a well-known fact (especially among ethnic minorities) in the country that ethnic Burmans are liars and dishonest. May Myat Noe just confirms this assumption again. Now, as it already happened, returning the crown honestly and gracefully without complaint and delay will be the best and only way to mitigate the damage caused to herself and the country.
Koreans are good at dirty job. Myanmar people need to side with May Myat Noe who is under manipulative hands of Korea.
Being a miss universe does not only depends on the size of the boobs why judges are too focusing on her boobs instead of other talents ? Though plastic surgery in Korea is not the big deal though.. Staying more than 3 months is not depend on the organizer but her visa status. I don't think she is running away with that crown because there are many similar crowns we can get at Yangon Bo Gyoke Market. There must be some misunderstanding. There are also a lot of actors in the world who have done something more stupid than this.
Why would anyone want to look like a stupid Korean girl with fake eyes, fake nose, fake boobs, what else is fake?
Give that silly crown back to the Koreans and just be a simple proud Burmese girl!
The Judges in the Pageant chose her as the Winner of Miss Asia Pacific contest which was done publicly before an audience in attendance. In any event such as these, the Judges' or Referee's decision usually is final, and must be honoured. You can't change the rules or nit-pick on rudeness AFTER the Pagent! What a lame explanation. I'd say she won the Title fair and square.
The Myanmar Government should lodge a protest with the South Korean Embassy in Yangon, as this is abuse of her human rights i.e. insisting she have a breast operation as a condition of the Pageant. Anyway, what has breast enhancement got to do with her singing potential? …. Furthermore, what has singing got to do with any Beauty Pageant?
B.T.W. I have viewed several YouTubes and Miss May Myat Noe sings in the Korean language – which melted the hearts of her audience. This girl has tried her best to please the organisers. Leave her alone.

Who given this title stealing crown?
MAPW Organization announced the statement on 27 Aug 2014.
Does anyone knows when she arrived back Myanmar?
When she agreed to returned?
Mr. Kim you should shut up, be very careful and all South Korea should be very sensitive on this issue. To many times cheapest charlie S Korea business is try to set up min Myanmar the past 10 years, only Japan and other countries opened a gap to squeeze in for S Korean. Most time not a real business and the living house become a restaurant. fashion shows and others to often ended up already in the red light scene when arranged by S Koreans. In tourism it was the selling of Myanmar Girls aS at Chatrium and other Hotels in Yangon where the S Korean tour operator made his one or two $ US profit , that is all ill managed business Myanmar does not need.
A beauty Queen as S Korean standard which won 100.000 $ US award is to to be one as such and there no need to be bigger breasts or any other changes otherwise the whole contest was a bullshit already . I am not surprised that the Myint Shwe Government in Yangon let such a show a women insulting event happen at all….for these soldiers as Myint Swe this is just " Karaoke "…..
Shame on South Korea if their Embassy and Ambassador stands for such business with Myanmar,— dragging Myanmar ladies only into upper class prostitution, good on the mother to take control again, save Myanmar Girls from South Korea twisted Business ….
David Kim sure has secret and personal agenda. Fixing breast and so on is not his job. Because May Myat Noe is already beauty Queen. She does not need Korean surgeons anymore. What David Kim wants is to sleep with her.
This organization definitely has ethical problems and should avoid competing for such pageant:
1. In 2011, its first winner, Jung Eun A resigned the tile after allegations of "automatic top-ranking placements in exchange for sex" by organizers.
2. British model Amy Willerton fled the competition after lack of food and alleged sexual harassment from organizers.
3. The events were filmed in the video below by Willerton and other contestants.
(these contestants said "This pageant is a joke. They are sick, disgusting, just awful people whom should not be allowed to work with women around the world.)

The Gambler by Kenny Rogers Songfacts
"The Gambler" was written by the Nashville songwriter Don Schlitz. With the classic chorus lines, "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em," the song is told from the first-person perspective about a conversation with an old poker player on a train. The card shark gives life advice to the narrator in the form of poker metaphors, before presumably dying in his sleep. Schlitz doesn't play poker, but the song isn't really about a card game - it's about handling what life gives you, what some would call "playing the hand you're dealt." The "hold 'em/fold 'em" phrase became a common saying, and is one of those lyrics that sounds like it must have already existed in the collective consciousness, but Schlitz insists he had never heard it before when he came up with it.
When he was trying to make it as a songwriter, Don Schiltz had a much more sensible job as a computer operator at Vanderbilt University. The songwriter Bob McDill, whose popular compositions include "Good Ole Boys Like Me" (Don Williams) and "Gone Country" (Alan Jackson), was his mentor, and Schlitz says it was on a walk home from McDill's office when he wrote most of this song. He typed out the words when he got home, but didn't have an ending. It took him about 6 more weeks to complete the story with the old poker player drifting off at the end.
Don Schlitz wrote this song in August, 1976 when he was 23 years old. It took two years of shopping the song around Nashville before Bobby Bare recorded it on his album
at the urging of Shel Silverstein. Bare's version didn't catch on and was never released as a single, but other musicians took notice and recorded the song in 1978, including Johnny Cash, who put it on his album
Gone Girl
. It was Kenny Rogers who finally broke the song loose, in a version produced by Larry Butler. His version was a #1 Country hit and even made its way to the Pop charts at a time when Country songs rarely crossed over.
This song had a huge impact on both Kenny Rogers and its writer Don Schlitz. Rogers had three #1 Country hits under his belt, but "The Gambler" gave him the title track to his biggest-selling album. Schlitz was able to quit his day job (actually a night job - he worked the graveyard shift) and become a full time songwriter. Some of his other songs include "He Thinks He'll Keep Her" by Mary Chapin Carpenter and "On the Other Hand" by Randy Travis.
This song spawned a franchise, mostly with the 1980 TV movie
Kenny Rogers as The Gambler
, where Rogers played the seasoned poker player Brady Hawkes, and Bruce Boxleitner starred as his apprentice. It was the highest-rated TV film of the year, and Rogers reprised the character in four more made-for-TV movies, the last called
Gambler V: Playing for Keeps
in 1994. There was also a popular "The Gambler" slot machine sold to casinos.
Kenny Rogers won a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance, and Don Schlitz won the award for Best Country Song.
Rogers performed this song on a season 4 (1979) episode of
The Muppet Show
. The Muppets were not solely for kids, but you rarely saw such a combination of alcohol, cigarettes and death in a show with such a large audience of children. It was one of the few skits where the Muppets had human hands, as the gambler Muppet needed them to handle his cigarette. At the end of the sketch, the ghost of the gambler appears and joins in the chorus. Many kids remembered this one for quite a while.
This entered the UK charts for the first time in 2007 after being popularised by the England Rugby team. During the Rugby World Cup the prop forward Matt Stevens warmed up for games by performing the song in the dressing room on his guitar and the England team subsequently adopted it as an unofficial anthem during their successful run to final of the tournament.
This song was the punch line in a Geico commercial that debuted in 2014. "Playing cards with Kenny Rogers gets old pretty fast," a man says, before the scene cuts to Rogers playing poker while singing this song as his exasperated playing partners look on.

On October 29th 1978, "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #84; and seventeen weeks later on February 25th, 1979 it peaked at #16 {for 1 week} and spent 22 weeks on the Top 100...
And on December 10th, 1978 it reached #1 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Hot Country Singles chart; it was his third #1 record of the year, the other two were "Love or Something Like It" for 1 week and "Every Time Two Fools Collide", a duet with Dottie West, for 2 weeks...
The song's composer, Don Schlitz, released his own version earlier in 1978; it peaked at #65 on the Hot Country Singles chart.

Am I the only listener who ever wondered if the narrator murdered the gambler? ;-)

- Dean, it's a JUKE Box as in "from a Juke Joint"
Luke - Manchester, United Kingdom
A grand song and one that has got me through 32 years in an aggressive workplace, by knowing when to duck.
Shaun - Warrington, United Kingdom
An old simple CW tune that speaks to many people.
Jim - West Palm Beach, Fl
This song is played/ sung on the Hit TV show King of The Hill not once but twice!
Hank Dahling - Fort Wayne , In
Just great one regardless of its meaning as of poker or life. cuts both ways.
Pep - Mexico, Mexico
I know this is a poker anthem, but this song is not about poker; it is about life. The bridge is the thematic part of the song. It is saying none of us were dealt winner of loser lives. Our lives are what we make of them. You have to know what and who to throw away and what and who to keep. You have to know when to go for it, when to fold, when to walk away, and when to run. Classic song with a great message.
Shawn - Green Bay, Wi
I didn't know The Gambler died in his sleep.that's the way to go in your sleep.One of my favorite songs! It was used in the Muppet show,I want all seasons of The Muppet show,Kenny Rogers,Star Wars,Lynda Carter,Cheryl Ladd,and Christopher Reeve.
Jennifer Harris - Grand Blanc, Mi
What a great song to put on the duke box in the pub. A real drinking ditty. P.S. Guy, they don't 'hurry' the last bar, it's a syncopation which I don't think works as well recorded as it would in a live performance.
Dean - Sydney,
One of my dad's friends sings this everytime there's karaoke at a cookout or party and it got me addicted to this song. I'm not a big country fan or a big Kenny Rogers fan, but I love this song. I'm 18 and I sing it every time I play poker w/ my friends and they just stare at me.
Scott - Boston, Ma
This song is the reason I started playing poker about 25 years ago. I was a very impressionable 6 yr old
Jeff - Austin, Tx
Only compared to a few songs in my walk down Memory Lane...in my Grampa's car which I was in near every day, he would play that too often, and whenever we played cards together. The metaphors in this mean nothing to me-just the beat, the sound and the good memories. Every time I hear this song I just stop what I'm doing and listen.
Josh - Toronto
Weird how they hurry the dialog on the very last phrase.
Guy - Woodinville, Wa
Fun story song. Replete with evey poker metaphor on earth. Still, kind fun & catchy.
Guy - Woodinville, Wa

8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those who by nature are not gods.
9 But now that you know God�or rather are known by God�how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[a] ? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?
10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!
11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters, become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong.
13 As you know, it was because of an illness that I first preached the gospel to you,
14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.
15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.
16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.
18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.
19 My dear children, for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,
20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Hagar and Sarah
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?
22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.
23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
26 But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
For it is written:
�Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.�[b]
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.
29 At that time the son born according to the flesh persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now.
30 But what does Scripture say? �Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman�s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman�s son.�[c]
31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.
Freedom in Christ
Freedom in Christ
1 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.

VIDEO: Oops. Tom Hanks Accidentally Drops an F-Bomb Live on "Good Morning America"
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | October 19, 2012 | Comments ()
Awkward, yet endearing. Tom Hanks doesn't quite save it, but at least he recognizes his mistake and tries to atone.
Hey! It happens. At least he used an accent.

Hindsight and forethought
ART UNCOVERED Tara O'Neill I usually save my "year in review" for mid-summer, but as I am now exiting the role of gallery committee Chairperson at the Marco Island Center for the Arts, I am consumed with reflection. It's been a full two years since I was hood-winked…that is to say, invited…to accept the position (what could they have been thinking?) It was an honor then, and today remains an honor, and so much more. More: more knowledgeable of what galleries and museums go through to stage a successful exhibition; more tolerant of some practices; more impatient of others; more far-reaching ... Read More »
