My vote is bubbafied. I just don't like the customs made out of old military rifles. I feel that customizations erase all the history of the firearm.
That being said, the work was nicely done. I like the figure of the wood. There was some serious time, money and effort put into that sporter.

Looks pretty nice, don't see many sporterized surplus with such nice wood and checkering.
Is that a replacement barrel? If so, what caliber?
The big old Weaver scope looks like a pretty high power fixed mag, so seems suitable for a varmint or maybe antelope rifle.
Used to have a side mount on it.
As far as the Bubba stuff goes, I will give it the benefit of doubt and assume it was sporterized back when it was a cheap obsolete army surplus rifle and not the Significant Historical Artifact and Valuable Collector's Item that the Internet Generation is accustomed to.
June 11, 2012, 08:55 PM
That gun likely had a colorful military history...1942 issue, plus the holes appear to be for a Warner Swasey sniper scope. The possiblility of it being a above accurate piece could be why it was chosen to be sporterized. True, I probably wouldn't build one today out of a vintage rifle. However, this one was likely built in the 60's....It is still a .30-06 and appears to have the original barrel. The scope is a 10x.
June 11, 2012, 08:58 PM
Tastefully done, I don't mind custom work like that, although I do prefer un-modded Mil-Surps...and that is VERY well done
Now if you're talking about a real Bubba job, done at the coffee table by Bubba, Jim-Bob and Dremel....yeah that bothers me
June 11, 2012, 09:04 PM
I think it looks great, very tastefully done.
June 11, 2012, 09:12 PM
I don't really like sporterized rifles unless the rifle was previously beat up horribly and has little to no historic value.
June 11, 2012, 09:19 PM
I think it's done well for the conversion. I'm not a huge fan of most conversions but this looks done well. It's previous condition makes a big difference but I'd guess it's more useful now than previously.
June 11, 2012, 09:22 PM
Beautiful rifle. Very tastefully sporterized. I like it. And you're right, that rifle was an ex-sniper. Should be extremely accurate. I'd be proud to own that piece.
It's only taboo to newly sporterize a classic rifle because there's a dwindling supply of good-condition ones. However, I have no issues with ones that were sporterized in the past in a tasteful manner. I picked up a nicely sporterized Nazi K98 last year. While I'd never consider doing that to a historical piece, the modification was probably done in the 1950s to 1960s, when there were plenty of good machinists and gunsmiths to go around. It clearly wasn't a recent modification.
I really just wanted a scoped large-caliber hunting rifle, and wasn't about to butcher one of my milsurps. I also couldn't afford a new one. For $250, I got a nice-looking rifle that shoots 1" groups. No complaints here.

Here's a closeup of the work that was done on the bolt by the person who sporterized it:

Kiln: I don't really like sporterized rifles unless the rifle was previously beat up horribly and has little to no historic value.
If it was a battlefield pickup and beat up horribly. I would say that has more historical value than the seldom if ever fired immaculate safe queens collectors gush over.
June 11, 2012, 09:32 PM
Bubbafying ends up ugly, THIS is an improvement! Don't let the snobs get you down. It could use some irons though. The whole thing looks great. I would love to have one that good looking.
June 11, 2012, 09:33 PM
I really hate military rifles unless they are sporterized/bubbaized. The best ones, IMO, are the ones that employ an altered version of the original stock. The more rare and collectable, the better.
June 11, 2012, 09:41 PM
Looks very nice, tastful, my vote however is contengent on when it was sporterized. there are too few '03s out there now to be cutting one up when you can buy a new gun for the same money.
Tim the student
June 11, 2012, 09:41 PM
Looks very nice...
But I much prefer un-bubbad myself.
June 11, 2012, 09:43 PM
Looks nice to me.
I'm not a fan of bubba'd guns unless the work is done well and that to me looks very professional and attractive. There are still plenty of 1903's out there that are in original historical configuration so don't fret over it and just enjoy it, I would wager it's a pretty decent shooter and that's what really matters.
June 11, 2012, 10:00 PM
Looks better than the poor A3 with modern rings and leapers scope that was for sale at the Medina show for $1,000... A4 indeed.
Art Eatman
June 11, 2012, 10:07 PM
Beautiful piece of wood in that stock. Looks like a clean job of customizing, not at all bubbafied via hacksaw and sloppy work. Nice sporter.
That scope looks much like the K-10 my uncle put on a Varminter setup: Bishop stock, Mauser 98 action, and a Jerry Gebby Varminter barrel (forerunner of the .22-250).
A heckuva lot of those old custom-built rifles really put today's factory stuff to shame for fit and finish--and, quite often, tight groups. Labors of love, not just some accountant's notion of bottom line.

While I would not sporterize a nice 1903 these days, I have one right now that I am working on since somebody already ruined the collector value. Plus I put myself through college many moons ago by sporterizing mil-surp rifles into what the customers of that time wanted.
Yours was nicely done...
June 12, 2012, 01:19 AM
I'd take that over a surp 03 any day! than I would buy a stock 03 surp and put em in the same cabinet together! one for plinkin the other for huntin.
June 12, 2012, 07:10 AM
It was a different mind set in the 1950's and 60's. Mil-surp rifles could be bought for $15 on average, with a little skill a guy could have a very nice, custom hunting rifle for 1/4-1/3 the cost of a commercial rifle. Every hardware store in the country had 55gal drums full of mil-surps, they had little collector interest at the time. Most of the guys buying these had just spent 5 plus years carrying them in war, they wanted a cut down, light weight rifle that was different from the rest.
June 12, 2012, 07:25 AM
If you've ever walked fifteen miles with a full rucksack and an M249, you can really appreciate what old bubba does to a combat rifle to get her down to sporter weight. Bubba knows.
June 12, 2012, 08:21 AM
If it was a battlefield pickup and beat up horribly. I would say that has more historical value than the seldom if ever fired immaculate safe queens collectors gush over.
Hey I can't really say much, I bought an Enfield No. 3 that had been cut down into a No. 5 a few years ago just because I was so impressed with the work. I'd rather have found an actual No. 5 in that condition but am satisfied with what I got.
June 12, 2012, 08:36 AM
I like it OP, but I just can't love a Monte Carlo stock...
June 12, 2012, 08:46 AM
I would love to own that rifle. A very nice piece of work. Bubba didn't have anything to do with it.
As madcratebuilder has already pointed out, it WAS a different mind set back when all the surplus rifle sporterizing was being done whether by Bubba or someone that knew what they were doing. They were just ugly old military rifles that were a source for cheap hunting rifles. They were everywhere and dirt cheap.
I don't have a problem with those that want to keep them original now. I do have a problem with those that condemn past generations for their actions
then when entirely different conditions existed than what exist today.

I'll normally hate on anything bubbified, but this was done REALLY well.
June 12, 2012, 10:06 AM
June 12, 2012, 10:27 AM
I voted Beautified, it is done much better than the one I own. I bought it modified and it is really not possible to return it to original configuration since the receiver has been drilled and tapped.
This looks well done and is not slapped together.
I am of the school that thinks "it's my gun, I paid for it with my own money so it's my choice to modify it"
I also understand collector value and if a guns collector value would be destroyed I would keep it original.
My 03A3 was already modified so I am not inclined to keep it as I bought it.
June 12, 2012, 10:34 AM
Absolutely nothing wrong with it in my opinion.
June 12, 2012, 11:12 AM
This is a well done sporter which I would be proud to show. No telling what the condition was before and though I wouldn't change a military rifle today, this might have been done long ago.
Arkansas Paul
June 12, 2012, 11:12 AM
Beauty all the way. I'm not messed up at all about sporterizing, provided it's done well. The problem is, it rarely is done well. This particular specimen is very nice.
June 12, 2012, 11:20 AM
It looks well done. Not done in a flavor I like, but it isn't my rifle!
June 12, 2012, 11:31 AM
I guess it depends when the work was done. I mean this is what was done back when...40's, 50's, 60's. If that is what this is or is a fixer upper of a previously badly done bubba then sure...it's great.
If some body today finds a real nice 03 or 1917 in military condition and does even this to it, I call BUBBA.
There are plenty of these old war horses that had a bubba version 1.0 that would greatly benefit from either bubba version 2.0 (which would be to well made, attractive sporter with nice wood or top-notch synthetic) or returned to some semblance of milspec I suppose.
June 12, 2012, 11:39 AM
when i opened this thread i was dead set that i would be saying "bubba'd" but i just couldnt do it when i saw the pics... dang she is purdy! love to see good wood on a rifle!
June 22, 2012, 02:13 PM
Since I started this thread, I've been working up a varmint load seeing that it's a long time until deer season. One thing I can say is the gun is consistent. No matter what load I put in it be it, either factory or handloaded, the gun will always shoot about 1.5" five shoot groups....With a little trial and error, I finally found a 110 gr VMax load that will put all 5 shots touching. The group in the pic is of 5 shots. Three made a cloverleaf and then other two went thru the middle....It's not quite as fast as I would like, but it is accurate.
June 22, 2012, 02:28 PM
Wow, nice! That's at 100yds? It looks great AND shoots great :D
June 22, 2012, 02:32 PM
Yes, it is at 100 yards...Thanks.
June 22, 2012, 08:52 PM
So, what do you say?
I say damn nice, a thing of beauty, a very beautiful rifle..............
June 22, 2012, 09:25 PM
Execellent piece of wood and nicely done, but I could live without that scope.

Back when "The Government" was still "Our Government" (1961) I bought this 03A3 and 03A4 from our government for $14.50, delivered to my door by the postman. Both guns were in new condition. The NRA used to run articles in the Rifleman on how to sporterize these rifles. Everything from just removing the excess wood and metal to turning it into a very nice hunting rifle.
Once when a (younger) friend saw these guns he got all upset that I would do this to these rifles. I told him, "Don't get your panties in a twist. They are $14.50 guns. Heck the scope mount on the 03A4 cost more than the rifle."
If that gets you upset you better not look at this brand new GI 1911A1 I bought from our government for $17.00 in 1961.
It's changed a little since then.:D
June 23, 2012, 05:53 PM
M2 nice guns...I think it is great that you were able to convert "surplus" into something that you have found useful for half a century.
June 23, 2012, 06:27 PM
Colt P.E. it's a beauty.
June 23, 2012, 06:38 PM
Beautiful. No sense in letting them "go to waste". If a collector offers the right price in "as is condition" before chopping, by all means, sell it to someone that appreciates it. If not, turn it into something beautiful.
I can't imagine that if the things had feelings, they wouldn't rather be turned into something beautiful and "useful" rather than just being stowed away somewhere, only looked at occasionally.
June 23, 2012, 07:00 PM
That is a nice looking rifle and if you think about it, it with others also makes the ones that remained mil-spec fewer and thus more valuable.
June 23, 2012, 08:07 PM
I honesty never thought the mil-specs would be worth what they are. I regret passing on the last near mint 1903 that was offered to me for 200 bucks.
June 23, 2012, 11:40 PM
there are some awesome sporter jobs. once saw an m1 carbine in full length manlicher style stck that almost made me cry it was so pretty
June 24, 2012, 08:26 AM
Honestly, it is tough to get upset over what other people choose to do with their property. It is there guns after all, they can do with them what they please. I wouldn't modify a mil surp today, but back then when they were more common? Maybe.
However, I will admit to cringing when I see a poorly done modification. A true Bubba job. Same thing on classic cars, I barf a little in my mouth when I see a 64 Pontiac GTO that was clearly painted with one, thick glopped on coat of paint (lots of orange peel, mottling, heavy finish variation, overspray, etc). Lord knows what kind of metal problems Bubba was trying to hide.
ColtPython's 1903 by definition is NOT a bubba job. Very nicely done from what I can see. And back then, sporterizing mil surps was probably more common than not, unlike today.
June 24, 2012, 08:32 AM
not my $$--don't care. :neener:
June 24, 2012, 12:38 PM
They are only buubbafied when you take a known collectable and turn them into something else. Most likely this was changed many years ago before the collectors factor kicked in. I have my father-in laws fathers 1917 that was sporterized in the 1950's. Back then it was a $15 necessary tool for putting meat on the table.
That's a nice looking sporter.
June 24, 2012, 08:19 PM
I think Bubbafucation is in half-assin' a sporterization. Even CMP and the NRA as proponents of the old CMP had wonderful generalized guidelines for the sporterizing of these in an attempt to broaden the base of interest.
Current values not withstanding, I think a tasteful sportitude is a well deserved second life to these, for that matter, many were never line/combat weapons anyhow.
I'd say there wasn't a Bubba anywhere within hollerin' distance of the OP's or M-2's sporterizeratorfication of their respective wonderful surplus firearms.
June 24, 2012, 09:36 PM
Definitely a beauty! I have several Milsurps still in military trim and they will stay that way but... I have an 03-A3, a 1903, and two Lee Enfield No 4 Mk Is that were sporterized in either '50s or '60s. All are pretty good shooters, especially the 1903. One of the Enfields is really a bubba and not a sporter. But it shoots well also. I wouldn't sporterize one today but I have no problem owning and enjoying quality work that was done years ago when these rifles had little value.
June 24, 2012, 10:54 PM
Really nice '03! Beauty in my eye. Back in the day, that was a common, cheap rifle (as in $15.00). This was the chance for lots of common folks with rag-tag rifles to pick up a top-notch high quality piece of workmanship for next to nothing. Of course, most of those people had no need for a military rifle, they needed a hunting rifle, so they modified them to suit their needs. That's exactly the point, correct? A rifle is a tool and if the tool doesn't fit the task, you modify it to work, or get another. Look at what we're doing to AKs, FALs, etc... 80 years from now, folks will be calling you AK modifiers "Bubba".
My grandpa put a '03-a3 on a rinehart fagen monte-carlo stock and left it otherwise stock. That was the gun he and his family used and was proud of. I figure get a gun you want, change it however you like, and to heck what other people think. I wouldn't mod an '03-a3 today, but I sure would have back then, as many of us would.
June 24, 2012, 11:46 PM
I'm usually against sporterizing rifles that would be worth upwards of $600 in any other condition but that is a pretty splendid job.
Joshua M. Smith
June 25, 2012, 01:23 AM
So, what do you say?
<pics snipped>
Colt, you didn't get that from Bass and Bucks, did you? If not, its twin is sitting there, old-style reticle 'scope and all, in .300 Win Mag.
I've almost bought it several times, but the caliber keeps turning me off. I'd want to put it back into an original stock and use a period sniper's 'scope, but I don't do anything with the .300 and have no need for anything that powerful around here.
I guess I like them in their original stocks, just because I have more to work with, but I'm not fanatical about it by any means.
June 25, 2012, 07:51 AM
looks dead sexy to me. and very very far away from Bubba, his hacksaw and his imagination.
This rifle looks to have been worked on by someone with the knowledge to do their work well. Easy on the eyes and functional(accurate) has a beauty all its own.
June 25, 2012, 10:45 AM
No, my rifle is not the same as the one you saw...Mine is still an '06.
You are correct. The man who did this rifle did some skilled work. I need to take some detailed pics of the mods made....For instance, the bolt was modified. It not longer has the knob on the back or the safety on the bolt. It now has a crossbolt style trigger block safety in the trigger guard. The scope mounts are also unique and machined to fit to the gun. They may even have been made just for the rifle.
Jim Watson
June 25, 2012, 10:53 AM
We definitely need those closeup pictures.
Removal of the cocking piece knob takes some knowhow, not just a hacksaw; and a crossbolt safety like Muh Scattergun is a lot of work on a bolt action.
June 26, 2012, 02:54 PM
Here are some pics. I recently purchased the rifle and do not know who the gunsmith was. I'd guess from the style of the rifle, the work was done sometime in the 60's.
The trigger guard safety and modified bolt:
June 26, 2012, 02:56 PM
June 26, 2012, 03:01 PM
A good crown job on a nicely turned down barrel:
June 27, 2012, 12:37 PM
Looks nice to me. I'm not a fan of early 20th century military firearms. In fact I see them as nothing more then tomato stakes. This one is the first I've ever liked, and that says alot.
June 27, 2012, 01:42 PM
Tragically bubba'd. A fine piece of history turned into a plain old hunting rifle.
The work technically appears to be very good, and aesthetically a nice job, but to me it just defacing a classic in its own right.
But, just my own opinions. A man can do whatever he like to his own property, I suppose.
July 30, 2012, 11:48 PM
its a shame. They did her like that, they did it to alot of them But that only makes my original Remington 03 A1 b ring a premium price tag.

To identify a distinctive chronic visual complication of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) use.
Description of the clinical findings in three patients with this disorder.
A neuro-ophthalmology referral center.
All three patients experienced prolonged afterimages (palinopsia) during LSD intoxication and have continued to be symptomatic up to 3 years after they ceased to ingest the drug. Results of neuroophthalmologic and neurologic examinations and neuroimaging and electrophysiologic studies were normal.
We have described three patients in whom persistent palinopsia developed following ingestion of LSD. Clinicians should inquire about past LSD use in all patients who initially have seemingly spontaneous, isolated palinopsia. Recognition of this distinctive clinical syndrome associated with LSD use might avoid unnecessary anxiety and excessive diagnostic tests for patients with this disorder.

Ok now that we have a bag full of fresh black eyed beans, I asked Athamma for different recipes that she remembers from her childhood. I guess all it took was that question, I could immediately see Athamma reminiscing about her childhood days when her Mom used to prepare this thokku, which was liked and much in demand. Since this uses fresh alasanda, it was mostly prepared during this time. She said she still remembers running up and down the stairs along with her brothers, while her mom used to stuff this with Jonna Rotti and drop it as a ball for the kids to catch it! How really sweet!
I called her in the afternoon and asked what was the dinner plan, she said she was going to make this. I was really intrigued with the texture and the taste and I am sure my hubby dear remembered eating this at his grandma's place. This is so typically rustic Andhra, that it takes one a while to get used to the taste and feel. But am sure one you get to taste it again, you get hooked.
Ingredients Needed:
Cluster Beans - 100 gms
Fresh Black Eyed Beans - 100 gms
Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
Green Chilies - 4 -6 longs
Onions - 1 medium
Tomato - 1 medium
Garlic - 2 cloves
Turmeric powder a pinch
Fresh coconut - 2 tsp
Fresh/ Roasted Groundnut - handful
Salt to taste
Coriander leaves few
Oil - 2 tsp
Water - 1 cup
Method to prepare
First grind green chillies, onions, garlic, coriander leaves along with coriander powder roughly.
Then add the coconut and ground nuts and again run for a minute. It should not be a smooth but still not very coarse.
In a pan take water, add oil and the ground paste along with Black Eyed beans, chopped tomatoes, turmeric and salt. Bring this to boil.
Cook it under sim, till you get a thick consistency.
You will need to feel the chunky cluster beans with Alasanadallu in between, then its really awesome!

Bullied Girl Takes Her Life After Posting Video OnlineFriday, October 12th, 2012
After sharing her story via an internet video, Amanda Todd committed suicide.
Bullying has been in the media so much lately that it's starting to become "old news". This is something that worries me… That we'll go back to the way things were… Sweeping it under the rug.
Clearly, bullying is still a very real problem with very real consequences. (more…)

Politics Counts: D.C. Voting Spotlights Divide Among Democrats
In recent decades, the Democratic Party has built a home around urban America, as we noted recently in The Wall Street Journal. But urban America is not monolithic.
The racial, ethnic and economic diversity in the nation's urban areas, particularly the country's biggest cities, has inherent divides and tensions, some of which were on display in this week's mayoral primary in Washington, D.C. The Democratic primary spotlighted challenges ahead for the party as it tries to hold together and build on its urban base.
Over the last decade, the Democratic Party's victory margins have grown markedly in counties holding the nation's densest population centers, places we call the Big Cities at the American Communities Project, at American University.
In 2000, Democrat Al Gore defeated Republican George W. Bush in those 46 counties by some 21 percentage points, 58% to 37%, and 4.7 million votes. By 2012, President Barack Obama defeated Republican Mitt Romney by 31 points, 65% to 34%, and about 8.7 million votes.
The enormous margins in those counties are crucial for Democratic victories in big electoral prizes like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Florida. But those Big City counties also stand out for being some of the most unequal in terms of wealth distribution.
Again, using the American Communities Project types, the Big Cities sit atop all others using the Gini index, a standard measure of economic inequality used by researchers and economists. The Big Cities are much higher than the national county average and higher than other suburban and exurban environments. That inequality has political consequences for the Democrats.
The modern Democratic Party is a complicated mix of demographic and economic groups, simultaneously top- and bottom-heavy. In 2012, for instance, Mr. Obama won eight of the 10 wealthiest counties in America and won people with who had done post-graduate work by 13 percentage points. But Mr. Obama also won less-wealthy and less-educated voters by large margins, including those with incomes of less than $50,000 and those without a high school diploma.
Big city environments offer a good place to the see all those groups interact. In places like Washington, D.C., those groups often live in the same city, but not necessarily next door to one another. So places that look unified from a distance look quite different close up. You can see the economic and geographic divide in the results of this week's mayoral Democratic primary, won by Councilwoman Muriel Bowser.
Ms. Bowser won five of the District's eight wards. The five share some common traits, according to data from Neighborhood Info DC, which breaks down demographic data in the city's different zones: The average family income is $99,000 or more (in some cases much more), the poverty rates are 16% or less and in four of them the population is more than 40% non-Hispanic white.
Ms. Bowser's chief opponent, current Mayor Vincent Gray, who has a possible federal indictment hanging over his head due to a campaign finance scandal, won the city's other three wards. The average family income in those wards is less than $80,000 (in some cases much less) the poverty rates are 20% or more, and the non-Hispanic white population is less than 8%.
Perhaps it's more telling that the primary results and demographic data show differences among places that are winning and losing economically over the past few decades. The District, like other big cities, is growing and changing adding younger and wealthier populations. (See chart at the bottom.)
In all of the wards Ms. Bowser won, the average family income was up since 1990 in inflation adjusted dollars – again, in some places dramatically. In all the wards Mr. Gray won, the average family income declined in that period. And in four of Ms. Bowser's five wards the population has grown since 1990. In all of Mr. Gray's wards the population has declined.
The divide isn't about the race of the candidates. Both Ms. Bowser and Mr. Gray are African-American. But the voting, demographic and geographic splits show two cities with different socio-economic makeups that chose different paths on Primary Day.
In the years ahead, the challenge for the Democratic Party in Washington and cities like it, from Philadelphia to Chicago, may be how to hold together an urban coalition that sits at opposite ends of the economic and educational spectrum.
Do urban Americans share a common urban environment? Yes. Do they necessarily share a common set of values and goals? No.

Rajkumar's 'Kasturi Nivasa' Now in Colour
By A Sharadhaa | Express Features - BANGALORE
Published: 28th January 2014 10:44 AM
Last Updated: 28th January 2014 10:46 AM
It was a super hit when it released in its black and white avatar in 1971. Now the film Kasturi Nivas that starred Rajkumar is hoping to have the same impact when it will be screened in colour.
Distributor KCN Mohan, who has turned producer for the new version, says, "Kasturi Nivasa is one of Rajkumar's successful films and so we thought that today's generation should get to watch it.
With the story itself being so colourful, our attempt is at enhancing the experience by converting it into a colour film. The entire process has been done in Bangalore - it is a tedious job as you have to work frame-by-frame. We hope to release the film on Rajkumar's birthday, April 24."
Meanwhile, the producers are are also planning to come out with a different version of Rajkumar's Babruvahana. "We are thinking of converting into a 3D film. This will happen only after Kasturi Nivas releases," said Mohan.
Rajkumar's Satya Harishchandra was the first of his films to be converted to colour.

I endorse Patricia Crowley for re-election as Kalamazoo County drain commissioner. I teach groundwater and surface water hydrology at Western Michigan University. I have known her for two decades. During that time, the backlog of needed maintenance to county drains grew. Meanwhile, Crowley gained valuable experience in Kalamazoo County working for MDEQ, a water-resources consulting firm, and her own business. She has doctorate in agricultural technology and systems management and a master's in water resources management and served in the Peace Corps in Samoa.
As drain commissioner, Crowley has worked harmoniously with land owners, developers, and farmers to maintain and upgrade our water infrastructure. She has managed her budget prudently because she can do much of the work herself and hires consultants using insight gained from her years consulting. Crowley truly is the qualified choice for drain commissioner and has earned another term to serve us.

Showing off its prowess in its fifth year, Next Big Nashville joined forces with Leadership Music Digital Summit to form an alliance of panelists that tackled intricate issues dealing with today's music business by day and a stellar showcase of talent that hit music venues across Nashville by night.
In the same manner as media, the music business is in a process of change.
With the speedy decline of album sales in the past years and the emergence of the digital era, technology has been a great friend but has forced change upon the business. From management and legal rights all the way to the distribution channels, each aspect is vital to the survival of the artistry and industry.
With these issues at hand, an all-star summit of panelists forged upon the city that included AC Entertainment and Bonnaroo founder Ashley Capps, Pandora Founder Tim Westergreen and MySpace Music Senior Vice President of Marketing Sam Wick among a myriad of others.
The conference began on Wednesday, Sep. 29 at the Curb Events Center at Belmont University where issues ranged from the modern music consumer and touring to the intersection point of old and new methods in the business. As the conference commenced for the next two days, the music festival and showcase ran through Saturday, Oct. 2.
Nashville has grown in notoriety of late with groups like Kings of Leon and Paramore gaining national attention and drawing in artists such as Jack White who now call it home. The local music scene is one that is budding with vision and creativity coming to the forefront, and hosts a developing crop of musicians.
With a hotbed of talent, more than 150 artists took part in the festivities across more than 15 different venues that incorporated a mix of local talent along with several emerging artists such as Yeasayer, RJD2 and Wavves.
As a soft opening, Jonathan Tyler & The Northern Lights were the main event for the showcase at 12th and Porter for Wednesday night as The Basement featured acts Tristen and The Mattoid.
The Basement proved again to be the place to be on Thursday night with a stacked lineup of Bryan Cates, Courtney Jaye, Keegan Dewitt, Madi Diaz and Roman Candle.
For Friday, Eighth Avenue drew a crowd at Mercy Lounge and Cannery Ballroom with enthralling sets from The Non-Commissioned Officers and Tallest Trees in preparation for some experimental, indie rock and a visual spread from festival headliner Yeasayer.
Given the opportunity to travel back down Eighth Avenue, one would have been treated to a raucous set from Two Cow Garage and Southern tinged sounds from Murfreesboro's Glossary.
Showing no signs of stopping, Saturday's schedule was oozing with choices that included The Ettes, JEFF The Brotherhood, The Pink Spiders, PUJOL, The Kingston Springs and a late night Mashville set from DJ Kidsmeal and Wick-It.
Displaying a progressive strength of mind, Next Big Nashville has achieved success year after year while bringing Nashville to the top in the music business with the likes of cities such as The Big Apple, The City of Angels and Austin, "The Live Music Capital of the World."
If you can look past the country music barricade, it is clear to see that Nashville exemplifies more than the given stereotype. It is rock n' roll, blues, pop, hip hop, singer-songwriter, indie and roots-but most of all it is Music City.

NEWARK — The left main landing gear of a Newark-bound commuter plane failed to extend and forced an emergency belly landing this morning at Newark Liberty International Airport, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.
No injuries were reported, officials said.
Piedmont Airlines Flight 4560, operating for US Airways, landed on Runway 4L at about 1 a.m. after "the pilot decided to land the Dash-8 with no landing gears extended," the FAA said in a statement this morning.
The emergency landing shut down the airport until 2:55 a.m. The runway was reopened at 9:24 this morning, the agency said.
Sparks flew as the commuter plane landed on its belly and firefighters doused the plane in foam, according to US Airways spokesman Davien Anderson. A Port Authority spokeswoman confirmed that the agency's fire department responded to the scene.
Anderson said the plane left Philadelphia at 10:52 p.m. Friday and none of the 31 passengers and three crew members aboard were injured.
The passengers were evacuated on the tarmac and transported by bus to the terminal, he said.
Kelly Nantel, a spokeswoman for the National Transportation Safety Board, said the agency is "working with the carrier to assess the damage to the aircraft" but did not yet have details on what may have caused the landing gear malfunction.
The airplane circled Newark in a holding pattern while working to get the gear down and made the emergency landing after several failed attempts to get the gear down, officials said.
Officials from the FAA and NTSB are handling the investigation.
Earlier this month, the wing of a Scandinavian Airlines jetliner clipped the tail section of a United Airlines ExpressJet regional plane as the two aircraft were taxiing for takeoff at Newark Liberty. No one was injured in that incident.

Maybe everything you need to know about Cartel Brooks is contained in a simple click.
Brooks, the star running back for No. 9 Heidelberg, made an impact from the moment he stepped on a collegiate gridiron.
It just wasn't exactly as he planned it. As a freshman in 2011, Brooks found himself not as the team's star back, but as HU's special teams ace.
Article Photos
Heidelberg running back Cartel Brooks rushes against Ohio Northern Sept. 21 at Mayer Field in Tiffin. Brooks is sixth in the nation in rushing.
"I had an injury at the beginning of the year, and I wasn't getting much (playing time) on offense," said Brooks, who starred on an undefeated Galion team in 2009. "I pretty much had to make my name somewhere, so, I started off on kickoff returns. I knew I wasn't going to start playing offense unless I started doing something really good on kickoff returns."
Safe to say he did some really good things
He returned three kicks for touchdowns, and was a key rusher on the 8-2 Student Princes, carrying the ball 83 times for 759 yards and seven touchdowns.
But he wasn't the team's main rusher. In '11, HU's No. 1 back was Germany Woods.
All Woods did in 2011 was set the Princes' single season rushing record with 1,421 yards, and was an All-American.
That was Woods' sophomore season, and it looked like Brooks might be the No. 2 back for at least a few more years.
Then things changed.
Woods left Heidelberg in the summer before the 2012 season. The news was reported on Twitter, with a link to an accompanying story.
Remember the click.
Brooks "favorited" the tweet, for everyone to see.
"I think (Brooks) has a lot of belief in his abilities, our guys have a lot of belief in his abilities," Heidelberg coach Mike Hallett said. "I think that was the case two years ago in the summer when Germany decided to transfer.
"When you have a guy like Cartel, who is an outstanding player, and he showed the second half of his first year here that he had every capability of being a No. 1 back in the OAC. He's backed that up at every turn."
Heidelberg defensive coordinator Scott Donaldson, who recruited Brooks to the school, said Brooks simply saw his chance.
"He and Germany didn't have any bad blood," Donaldson said. "Cartel is a team guy. He is 100 percent the kid you want leading your team, because he is team first, and he's always team first.
"You talk about favoriting that tweet, I think it was more about, 'OK, it's my time now.'"
And it has been.
Brooks was 15th in the nation in rushing and 19th in scoring in 2012. He led the OAC in rushing. That's all the more impressive when you consider he was injured late in the season and didn't play in the season finale against Baldwin-Wallace, and was limited in the team's playoff loss to Wittenberg.
But as great as last season was for Brooks, he's taken it to another level this season.
The junior has rushed for 1,078 yards through seven games. That's sixth in the nation. He has 18 touchdowns on the ground, double what his closest OAC competitor - John Carroll's DaQuan Grobsmith - has in that category. He's won the leagues Offensive Player of the Week after each of his last two games.
And he's breaking records. In a win over Otterbein two weeks ago, he ran for 337 yards and five touchdowns, breaking school marks set by Jeff Brock in 1999. Brock went into Heidelberg's Hall of Fame earlier this fall.
"I get a better feel for the game," Brooks said. "Watching film more, being familiar with other teams, I can see a lot of players are trying to eye me, so I think Coach Hallett sees that too ... just trying to get the ball in my hands, I guess."
The biggest game for HU so far this season comes Saturday, when fellow unbeaten and No. 1-ranked Mount Union comes to Mayer Field.
Also returning is Woods, who now goes to Mount Union and plays there.
"I'm definitely confident in our team; we have a great team," Brooks said. "A great line, great D. If we just play our ball, and play to our potential we'll be fine.
He sounds confident. Which, of course, isn't a surprise.

JERSEY SHORE When the Warrior Run Defenders opened the 2013 Jersey Shore Duals with a 60-9 win over Phoenixville in the Dawg Pound, it was much more than just another win for the storied Defender mat program.
For the past 42 years, the name of Wayne Smythe has been synonymous with Warrior Run wrestling. During those years, Smythe and his wrestlers have recorded many wins, but none bigger than the win over the Phantoms. For the Hall of Fame coach, it was the 500th victory of his outstanding coaching career.
"Right now it is just a number," said Smythe. "Ben Franklin said that wisdom is a reflection and at some point in time, I will have time to reflect on it. Right now, I just look at it as an achievement by all the people at Warrior Run."
As a former athlete and coach at Milton and now a PIAA official, Bob Greenly took a little time to reflect on what knowing Smythe meant to him during his career as a Black Panther athlete, coach and now a PIAA official.
"He has integrity, he is one of the most intense coaches I have been around and although he gives credit to everybody else, the credit for the success of his program really goes to him," said Greenly. "He has surrounded himself with good people, he is a good Christian man, but his ability to maintain intensity through the years might be his biggest asset."
Facing Smythe as an athlete, Greenly was well aware of the intensity he instilled in his wrestlers.
"Looking at him in the corner when I was wrestling one of his athletes, you could just see the intensity in him," said Greenly. "After coaching 42 years, he is still intense. I know I couldn't keep up that type of intensity for that long."
Wrestling has changed with the overall approach and technique and Smythe has had to make some adjustments in his approach to keep up.
"He has changed his styles somewhat in that you can't go against Warrior Run, thinking this is what they are going to do," said Greenly. "He has upped the ante as far as different technique is concerned and what else can you say other than that is he is just a quality person and a good guy for the sport of wrestling."
Spanning his 40 years at the helm of the Defender program, Smythe was fortunate to have had a lot of outstanding athletes as well as dedicated assistant coaches to work with.
Included in the list coached by Smythe are five wrestlers who won a cumulative total of eight PIAA championships. Those who Smythe guided to an individual state title are Al Mabus (1977), Mike Litzelman (1978), Chris Cooper (1981), Jason Betz (1992, 1993 and 1994) and Jason Guffey (2005, 2006).
"We have had great kids and that is who the tribute for something like this belongs to," Smythe said. "They worked hard, they produced and they have been very receptive to coaching. We were fortunate to have had good assistants throughout the years and a big part of this success is due to their contributions to the program. And we can't forget our fans because when we go away for matches we sometimes have more fans there than the home team. The administration has also been very supportive of the program and considering all of those aspects."
During his career both as a wrestler and coach, Smythe has seen many changes in the sport, both on and off the mat.
"I think that each generation has gotten a little bit softer than the one before," said Smythe. "My generation is softer than that of my parents. Wrestling is a sport that rewards those who are willing to pay great sacrifices to what they do. We have great parents and the changes are not a reflection on them, but rather the way the times have changed."
Following the opening win over Phoenixville, the Defenders dropped a tough one-point loss to Cedar Cliff. However, as any good team usually does, the Defenders bounced back to pound Wallenpaupack 59-3.
In pool matches, Warrior Run opened with a 55-15 win over Jersey Shore, but then ran into a very good and unbeaten Cedar Cliff squad and came up a point short in a 34-33 loss.
Following the loss to the Colts, the Defenders bounced back to post three victories in a row over Wallenpaupack (59-3), Jersey Shore (55-15) and Western Wayne (44-22).
"This was a good day for us," said Smythe about his team's 4-1 performance. "Cedar Cliff came in here undefeated, they are a good team and I think we wrestled real well that match. We just came up a point short. We are a better team for having wrestled them and we were able to pick up what we need to work on."
Round Robin I: Jersey Shore 50, Tunkhannock 21; Cedar Cliff 50, Wallenpaupack 15; Greensburg-Salem 57, Western Wayne 18; Warrior Run 60, Phoenixville 9.
Round Robin II: Muncy 60, Clarion 17; Cedar Cliff 34, Warrior Run 33; C. D East 38, Canton 26; Wallenpaupack 58, Phoenixville 15.
Round Robin III: Muncy 48, Jersey Shore 21; Greensburg-Salem 62, Canton 10; Western Wayne 36, C. D. East 32; Tunkhannock 45, Clarion 21.
Round Robin IV: Jersey Shore 61, Clarion 15; Cedar Cliff 57, Phoenixville 17; Greensburg-Salem 62, C. D. East 15; Warrior Run 59, Wallenpaupack 3.
Round Robin 5: Muncy 51, Tunkhannock 24;
Pool Round I: Warrior Run 55, Jersey Shore 15; Cedar Cliff 45, Muncy 30; Wallenpaupack 45, Tunkhannock 28; Phoenixville 41, Clarion 27.
Pool Round II: Warrior Run 44, Western Wayne 22; Greensburg-Salem 44, Cedar Cliff 25; C. D. East 39, Wallenpaupack 32; Canton 45, Phoenix 26.
Pool Round III: Western Wayne 48, Jersey Shore 24; Greensburg-Salem 42, Muncy 20; Tunkhannock 43, C. D. East 30; Canton 41, Clarion 30.
Top Three Teams: 1. Greensburg-Salem (5-0), 2. Cedar Cliff (4-1), Muncy (3-2).

What Exactly Are The Toxins That Come Out of My Skin
Message: 2
Date: Fri, 08 Apr 2005 10:08:51 -0000
From: "Ole Jensen"
Subject: what exactly are the toxins that come out of my skin?
I have been taking oxymune and oxygen elements plus for about 6 months, and drinking ozonated water. Recently I developed a significant rash on my legs and decided to see if bagging with ozone would help. It got worse. I read some more about detoxifications and found that the rash is probably the result of the detoxification process where the skin eliminates toxins directly out of the skin because it can't get out fast enough any other way. I was prepared to continue with the discomfort, but my wife became concerned that it was more than detoxification (she does not believe in alternatives to standard medical treatment). I went to talk to my doctor, prepared for his negative reaction to my use of alternative medecine. He asked one question which I could not answer and have been unable to find an answer to.
What exactly are the "toxins" that are coming out of my skin?
Can anyone answer that with reference to a report by an "unbiased" research facility (one that does not profit by the results of the report).
Is there some way that I can determine what toxins are being pushed out of my skin?
By the way, the more localized ozone I applied (by bagging) the more "stuff" came out of the rash on my skin, so I am certain that there is some relationship between the ozone and the secretions.
thanks for your help,
Ole Jensen.
Dear Ole,
An allopath has no training regarding toxins, so he knows not of what he speaks. Similarly, they have no training in nutrition, which cripples their effectiveness.
'Toxins' is a broad term that applies to a whole host of things, among them:
carbon monoxide
vaccination debris
pharmaceuticals of various types
THMs and free chlorine
nitrosamines (smoked meats)
nitrogen dioxide
X - rays
trans fatty acids and rancid oils
heavy metals : aluminum, cadmium, cesium, cobalt, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, plutonium, strontium
These have external sources.
In addition, there are internal sources for toxins as well:
carbon monoxide
candida (outside the gut)
macromolecules (undigested food)
overage cells, cell debris
homocysteine (intermediate between methionine and glutathione)
adrenaline (when in excess)
lactic acid (when in excess)
ammonia (when in excess)
histamine (when in excess)
These can all be lumped together under the heading of toxins. I don't know of any testing that has been done by independent laboratories, but various people over the years have had testing done, with results that show ear discharge is very alkaline, which accounts for its famous 'burn' on the pinnea.
As you have discovered, the amount of material ejected by the body is in direct proportion to the amount of ozone used, reinforcing the idea that toxins are being oxidized and excreted.
Best of Health!
Dr. Saul Pressman

text: Since 1962? 50 years is probably enough time to claim a diet as being a factor to your health. I think the bias of the article hints that the diet contributed to a long life, but I don't believe it speaks for its extraordinary benefits, nor its detriments, when 77 is just about the average lifespan even for a SAD eater.

text: IRANIAN MISSILES WILL THREATEN ISRAEL WITHIN TWO YEARS ISRAEL LINE MONDAY, JULY 28, 1997 According to senior security officials, Israel will face the threat of Iranian long-range ground-to-ground missiles within two years, YEDIOT AHARONOT reported. The officials said that Iranian work on their missile project will be concluded by 1999, and will result in missiles that can be launched from Iran to strike targets in Israel. By October 1997, the Israel Air Force will begin preparing the Arrow anti-missile missile for use and, by the beginning of next year, a radar system developed specifically for the Arrow missile will come into operation. The Arrow missiles are expected to be fully functional by 1999. HA'ARETZ reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu informed the Russian Government that Israel will not sign any significant economic agreement as long as Russia continues to sell ground-to-ground missile technology to Iran.

After much speculation the Houston Astros have been picked by Bud Selig and Major League Baseball as the National League team to move to the AL in 2013. This is being done in an effort to decrease the amount of in division games and align the divisions more evenly. With the move from the NL Central to the AL West, there will be exactly 5 teams in every division. A byproduct of this move is that each league will have an odd number of teams, necessitating interleague play throughout the entire season. Selig is also instituting a second Wild Card team in each league, increasing the number of playoffs teams from 8 to 10. Houston was the easiest team to move, although not the best. Because the point was to increase the AL West by a team and decrease the NL Central, it was easiest to directly move a single team from one division to the other. The Astros were also for sale and the move was entered as a stipulation into the purchase.
It seems a better move would have been to be patient, rather than rushing through the process, and move the Diamondbacks or Rockies to the AL West and the Astros to the NL West. This way no team loses their long history in their respective league and the Rangers would be able to maintain their cross league rivalry with the Astros. Every other city or state that has only two teams has one in each league (except Pennsylvania). This move will ruin that perfect dichotomy.
As far as the Indians go, we will have to see how the move plays out. It seems there is a benefit in a weak team like the Astros moving to the AL, where the Indians will play them more often. However, the Indians will probably play less games against the poor teams in the Central Division and will not be able to avoid National League powerhouses like the Phillies and Brewers.
Another thing to keep a lookout for is the designated hitter rule. With teams playing across league barriers all season long, American League pitchers will be constantly be forced to hit and National League teams will need to carry an extra bench player able to play as a DH. In the past the American League has dominated interleague play, winning more games every single season since 2004 and holding a .522 winning percent overall. This is most likely due to the fact that AL DH's are far superior to the pinch hitters used by the National League while playing in AL stadiums. If NL teams have to pay for an extra player just to compete during the upcoming extended interleague play, they may change their ideas on whether or not they want a DH.
The Indians are in a pretty good position as far as this goes, since they have the perfect pinch hitter in Shelley Duncan. The Indians also have a pitcher who can hit in Josh Tomlin, who went 2-2 during 2011 with a run scored and an RBI. Ubaldo Jimenez and Derek Lowe each have a lot of experience hitting as well as they just came over from the National League.
Overall the Indians look to be pretty well set up for the new changes to come. The extra Wild Card team can only help as the Tribe is ready to compete now. A second Wild Card could possibly allow a non-AL East team to finally win a Wild Card. Rather than looking at this in a negative manner as most people seem to be doing, let's keep an optimistic view on things and see how this all works out. You can't fight Bud Selig, so for now we should just sit back and watch how this whole thing works out.
