Each year, television channels interrupt our regular programming over the Christmas season to bring us a selection of movies to keep us from throttling our parents or getting into fights with our siblings.
Not all families are like this, but I'm sure the TV networks work on the assumption that sooner or later everyone will have had enough of talking to each other and need to sit down in front of the box and put their feet up after eating and drinking all day.
Some of these movies are logical for the time of year, with titles wheeled out like Home Alone, The Grinch, A Muppet Christmas Carol and Santa Claus: The Movie (the awesome one from 1985).
However, there are often one or two odd choices on the primetime schedule that confuse me. I always remember seeing Labyrinth as a kid and being completely traumatised by it. I sadly grew up knowing David Bowie only as that creepy guy from Labyrinth who comes to take babies away in the night. It has only been in my adult years that I've come to know him as a music artist and as long as I don't have to watch him perform, I'm okay!
Speaking of which, another questionable entry has to be The Dark Crystal with those scary Skeksis and their unnerving whining. Oh, and did anyone else get completely freaked out by what happens to the horse?
I can understand why these sorts of fantasy films show up around this time of year: it's a time of magic which blends well with fantasy. As a kid, I always remember there being The Neverending Story or the neverending sequels showing on TV.
The Nightmare Before Christmas is also a funny one too because I get caught up thinking, "is this a Halloween movie about Christmas or a Christmas movie featuring the stars of Halloween?" This sort of thing keeps me up at night, you know!
Then there is the blockbuster club of totally unrelated films such as Jaws, Jurassic Park, Men in Black and even the films named after completely different holidays like Independence Day.
Is it just a decision to put popular movies on to attract viewers or is someone playing some kind of random prank on the people paying attention to what's on? Anyone else got a random movie they've seen show up on TV over Christmas?

I had the bigest crush on David Bowe in Labyrith ... mmmm, I still dont htink im over it :) haha.
Cant say i get into te whole xmas movie thing, I find them a bit naff. I do like Love Actually tho, but I'll quite happily watch that at any time of the year
As a kid I remember every year on christmas day they would play HR Puff and Stuff... you know the one....with the kid and the creapy talking flute. It was seriously disturbing *shudder*
For me it was Dr Zivago. Hated it, my nana likee it especially if it was the old school one with Lawrence Olivier in it. It went for hours and hours and was boring as watching paint dry. I remember it being just snow for hours. I hated it. And every year we watched it. Though strangely I would probably watch it again for old times sake just to see if it was as bad as I remember.
Its the old school epics, The Ten Comanments, Cleopatra etc that I remember. BORING. I'm only 37, but the nana, she was around the first time around for these movies so I think it was more the nostelgia of her youth than anythign else. Hopefully she was immune to my whinging.
I'm thrilled that I've managed to catch 'Troop Beverly Hills' on more than one Christmas. Shelley Long playing camp leader is such a fab guilty pleasure.
We're the girls from Beverly Hills! Shopping is our greatest thrill!
I am planning to watch the life of brian... doesn't get more christmassy than that.
Romans the people the house they go!
Most random one I've seen on xmas was something like message in a bottle... I was like wtf has that got to do with xmas?
There is only one Christmas movie worth watching - 'It's a Wonderful Life' that old B&W James Stewart chestnut from the 1940's.
Although I have to wonder if I only appreciate it because it is Lister's favourite movie in the Red Dwarf series. Probably achieves some 'transferred coolness' due to this association to be fair...
With this kind of sentiment, maybe it's time to give up on Christmas?
Do you really need to celebrate either a) rampant consumerism or b) religious doctrine?
Why can't we just have a big party with all our friends and family and be happy that we lived through another winter?
I've never actually seen the dark crystal. That's the Jim Henson movie, ja? Never looked very appealing to me.
The Nightmare before Christmas, however - I LOVE that. Mostly I like singing along to the songs cos I'm a child but all the imagery and stuff is awesome, too.
Die Hard ..... has EVERYTHING to do with Christmas. It's set on Christmas Eve, and even has a kind-of Christmassy soundtrack. Mmmmm....John McLean....
LOL Thalia, Life of Brian is an awesome idea :-D
The African Queen (Bogart / Hepburn). Think I've seen that over a dozen times at this time of the year, although it hasn't been on recently.
What's your favourite scary movie?

- - perfect weather for turkeys? (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/turkey-hunting/317-perfect-weather-turkeys.html)
perfect weather for turkeys?
just wondering what yall thought would be ideal weather for hunting turkeys. in tennessee i think you have better luck or whatever you want to call it when its decently sunny warm weather.
the past couple days down south its been cold and the hunting buddies i got have had little luck in getting a gobbler to talk to them. would yall blame that on the weather or the hunter/caller?
yes i agree im in ne PA and with the cold weather we have been having the birds seem to have disappeared! we had a few days in prior weeks where it was sunny 60-70 degrees and birds were everywhere and very vocal with this cold weather and snow for easter they may not come off the roost until noon!! thats ok as long as we get a little warm up for 4/28 our spring gobbler season opens
in tennessee i hope it warms up before 4/28 or alot of our turkey hunters may be emptyhanded for the spring season. I can't remember the actual day of closing but it is the end of Aprril sometime.
here in nys i like a light rain day for it keeps the weekend warrior in side and the birds still move and the rain helps cover and light sounds you might make
movin turkies
yea i noticed that the turkies kind of went on astand still thsi past weekend the 6th-7th but i have been scouting this psast week i have noticed that they seem to be coming back out. I seen 15 today one nice gobbler on a WMA (wildlife management area) and it was raining cats and dogs
end of turkey season
actually the end of turkey season in TN is May 13th so we have a little bit more time

Ubuntu Kung Fu is great!

About Me Sys Admin
Best Uses
Comments about oreilly Ubuntu Kung Fu:
Let me first level-set on my Linux experience and skills..... I am a relative beginner to Ubuntu. I've been using it for about 18 months and I'm on the third version since I started. I am a Windows Sys Admin by profession, but Ubuntu is what I use at home and outside of work. The first thing I should say about "Ubuntu Kung Fu", is that it really was a pleasant surprise. This book is loaded with tips, tricks and hacks. While I read it cover to cover, you don't have to - it is an excellent collection of practical tips and is going on my desk for future reference. Whether you are a beginner or an expereinced Ubuntu user, there are 315 very useful, well detailed shortcuts, hacks and little-known facts presented for easy reading. I dog-eared many pages and have already implemented a few, and they worked just as described! Many have been marked for use on my next Ubuntu install. I definitely recommend this book - there is value for users at all levels. The author's style is light, thoughtful and well researched. I highly recommend "Ubuntu Kung Fu" for anyone interested in wanting to get more out of Ubuntu and their computer.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

From the annals of "How did I miss that story?": While reading a news snippet about how scientists hope to mimic the structure of a mantis shrimp's eyes to improve on the next generation of Blu-Ray players, I stumbled on the fact that there is an X-ray space telescope under development using technology based on lobster vision. It's called the Lobster All-Sky X-Ray Monitor (LASXM), and according to Nigel Bannister of the University of Leicester, the telescope would be "ideal for use as an all-sky X-ray monitor" because of its unlimited field of view."
It's not a new idea: in fact, it was first proposed in the 1970s by a scientist at the University of Arizona named Roger Angel, but it's taken 30 years for optics to advance to the point where building such a technology is even possible.
What makes lobsters special? Well, they have these pea-sized compound eyes made up of long, narrow square cells that give the creature a 180-degree field of view. This allows for maximum reflectivity; each cell captures a tiny amount of light, but the light enters the eye from many different angles and only then is the light focused into a single image. Lobsters don't have great image resolution, but they don't really need it. What they do have is ultra-sensitivity to detect movement, and even the polarization of light.
LASXM would mimic that structure with a new technology called microchannel plates: six nested modules - each a bundle of 3 million parallel glass channels - that would combine to give the instrument that same 180-degree field of view. Put it orbit around the Earth aboard a satellite or the International Space Station, such that it completes its orbit every 90 minutes, and you would quickly compile a complete x-ray picture of the sky.
This is a significant improvement over the x-ray telescopes currently in use, which can only survey a narrow strip of sky at a time. This means that astronomers frequently miss fleeting bursts and flashes, harbingers of some fascinating cosmic events, from the x-ray emissions of comets, stars and quasars, to supernovae and mysterious gamma-ray bursts. "In astronomy you have to look at the right place at the right time, and that means either having to get lucky or to look everywhere at once,"
Bannister told BBC News a few years ago. "Our instrument goes for the looking-everywhere-at-once tactic."
Of particular interest are so-called "superflares," explosions that occur in the atmosphere of a star when energy stored in its twisted magnetic fields is suddenly released. Many stars in which such superflares have been observed are the size of our sun. While our sun has yet to exhibit a superflare, the effect on Earth should one occur would be catastrophic, to put it mildly.
Closer to Earth, there's also a new Lobster Eye X-Ray Imaging Device (LEXID) being developed by a company called Physics Optics in Torrance, California - basically an x-ray scanner in a box. Once again, the appeal is the lobster's amazing ability to "see" through silt and sand while underwater. Among the applications: mounting the device on a robot and using it to detect roadside bombs. Who knew crustaceans could prove so inspirational?

Montabella fall on 'Dig Pink' night to Vestaburg
BLANCHARD — Montabella's volleyball team celebrated breast cancer awareness month, but Vestaburg was the one doing the final celebrating.
The Wolverines swept the Mustangs in a Mid-State Activities Conference match Tuesday by scores of 25-13, 27-25, 26-24.
Yet Vestaburg coach Brian Davis didn't think his team played all that well.
"I feel we backed into the win," Davis said. "We should have came out stronger."
The Wolverines (11-18-3, 4-1) had no problems going through Montabella (1-19, 0-6) in the first game.
"We seemed to serve well," Davis said. "That dictated the offense we got into."
"The first game was rough," Montabella coach Jordann Jankowsky said. "I thought we were hyped up about breast cancer awareness."
However the Mustangs jumped up early on Vestaburg, getting out to a 12-6 lead.
"I thought if our girls made a mistake they kept their spirits up," Jankowsky said.
"The difference was we weren't passing on the serve receive," Davis said. "And I believe they (Montabella) served well."
However the Wolverines closed the gap to one at 17-16, forcing Montabella to call a timeout. Eventually the game got to 22-22 before Vestaburg won it in extra points.
"Once we decided to get serious we moved our feet," Davis said. "Once we dug the game came back to us."
Montabella got out to 6-0 lead in the third game, but a 14-4 run by the Wolverines forced Jankowsky to call a timeout.
"They (Montabella) caught us right off the bat," Davis said. "It took some time to get good digs."
Eventually Montabella got the game back to a 22-19 lead, but a 4-1 run by Vestaburg tied the game at 23, and won it from there.
Jankowsky said the third game was "very similar" to the second.
"I think we need more volleyball playing time," Jankowsky said. "We need too get more in the gym. We need to learn to win."
Vestaburg got nine kills from Micki Drumm and 28 assists from Emily Palmer.
The Mustangs were led by Sarah Ranney with four kills. Kayla LaCroix dished out 11 assists and Melissa Allen made 12 digs.
Both teams will continue MSAC play next Tuesday. Vestaburg will host Coleman while Montabella hosts Ashley.

text: Are multiple USB connected devices supposed to be recognized and usable as a media device? I hooked up a friends galaxy note2 or something like that and cue only recognized my old iphone which is USB attached. I know that you can source multiple bt devices that are paired, but I'm not a huge fan of using bt for a music source. Im anti-compression when it comes to music. That leads to me another question. If you have a device that is recognized via USB and is also paired via bt which method will it default to when streaming? USB or bt?

Hey guys! It's been a while since I was on here...all is well. Since November, I've been working for a newspaper, writing and shooting, and doing some other photo projects in my spare time. I've got an exciting freelance project coming up in March, which I will tell you all about once I've finished my travels and gathered the materials I need for the story. It's going to be a very interesting nine days on-location.
Anyways -- just a quick hi, thanks everyone for all the new 'watches' and the great, kind comments on my work! I will try to post on a more regular basis this year.

Motion sensor doorbell/annunciator solutions?
We recently moved to a bigger house with a bigger yard. Unfortunately, we have a problem that when we're in the back yard, we can't tell when we have a visitor. So, we want a loud exterior doorbell on the back of the house so we can hear it outside.
Additionally, I want a motion sensor or a trip beam that rings the doorbell when someone walks or drives up the driveway. (Which would give us that much more time to get to the front door.) The sensor could be hardwired, as I plan to run wires for a lamp post out there eventually anyway. Bonus points if the driveway sensor makes a different sound than the front door button (for example, a single 'ding' instead of 'ding-dong').
The ability to add a mailbox door sensor would be great, too. That one would need to be wireless, though.
This house was a foreclosure, and there is currently no doorbell at all, so we're starting from scratch. Can you guys suggest a doorbell system that accepts all those inputs and supports all those outputs? While I prefer to DIY, I'm also willing to just purchase an integrated system if it makes more sense.
There are driveway alarms that will sound when somone drives up or even walks up, you can set the sensitivity of it for pets.http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...npage:IN+STOCK
That is one there are many if you search for driveway alarms
That one may not, but there are other systems out there that will. I know business people and farmers who used that type of system.
your problem can be solved as follows:
01) We recently moved to a bigger house with a bigger yard. Unfortunately, we have a problem that when we're in the back yard, we can't tell when we have a visitor. So, we want a loud exterior doorbell on the back of the house so we can hear it outside.
actually loud exterior doorbell can not solve this problem because of power limited for this product. you can choose the doorbell which 1 outdoor button connect 2 or 3 indoor devices, it is wireless, you can take 1 indoor devices when you are in the back yard.
you can refer the product of this company: www.sanchtech.com ---wireless doorbell
Tyler.....how about wireless camera and monitor?
We got broke into last Dec....after that I installed the Lorex wireless camera.....ours came with two cameras...wireless and motion sensing....it's really pretty neat. If someone walks in the view of the camera....it beeps....starts recording and the monitor stays on that view for a time or until there is no motion. It also has sound.
The recording is to a SD card....so, it's not as large as a DVR....but it helped us catch a recycling bottle thief....(that is a fun video to watch)
What we really like is that it also has sound....it lets us keep an eye on the kids in the front when we are in the back.
Hm, thanks for the suggestions folks.
ddawg the wireless security systems almost do it, although I don't see how the doorbell button and multiple speakers can be integrated into a single system.
Andrew X850-1-1 looks like almost the perfect solution but I didn't see how to order anything from that website and I'm not sure if the motion sensor / button can trigger 2-3 different speakers?
So, I just ordered a PIR motion sensor module, a phototransistor, some RF modules and a couple of ATTiny85 microcontrollers (miniature Arduinos). A third Arduino in the house can "virtually" press the back door doorbell button using a relay whenever the ATTinys sense motion in the driveway or light in the mailbox and transmit a wireless packet. This lets me use a standard doorbell button, standard 16VAC transformer, and standard bells inside the house. Now I just need to find an outdoor bell...
You might swing by your local full service locksmith for exploration of some great existing options having to do with everything you seek including different tones, driveway sensors, loud bells or audio for the backyard and more. If you don't want them to do the install, they will get and sell you all you need and really want and probably for no more than a box store.
If it is a foreclosure, and you have not already, I would have a locksmith walk through the house anyhow. Lot's of angry people out there over foreclosures. In managing properties and for my own, my locksmith always had key codes which saved tenants lots over a site visit and me a time or two when I locked myself out as well.
I forget where I saw it, but I remember running across a wireless mailbox thing for like $20.
Tyler, yes, the motion sensor / button can trigger 2-3 different speakers(no limited actually), actually it is the exact PIR motion sensor one~ this small system is very useful.

Does anybody think this isn't one of The Strokes' best songs ever?
{ 46 comments… read them below or add one }
- 1 March 6, 2011 at 1:31 pm
Band's albums always leak a few weeks before its actual release. I wouldnt be suprised if this one leaked pretty soon
- 2 March 6, 2011 at 1:36 pm
Yeah, I am also surprised that it hasn't leaked yet.
But once more album reviews start coming in, then I think the leak will be imminent.
- 3 March 6, 2011 at 1:41 pm
Excited to hear that there might be two bonus tracks – if this leak is for real!
Couldn't agree more with T-Rav though it's probably fair to say that most people on this are obsessed enough to buy it anyway. A small part of me is tempted to hold out, as at this stage it's not too much longer, i guess. Yet i totally agree with Patrick – they're driving us mental and such a long lead-in is asking for a leak. It's pretty amazing it hasn't happened before now – if this is one.
- 4 March 6, 2011 at 1:46 pm
A part of me feels sorry for them that their surprise of the bonus tracks may be ruined. I love how they make an effort to keep things exciting for fans and they've kept things -slowly- building over the past few weeks. My bet is that Nick and Fab will also join twitter before the release!
- 5 March 6, 2011 at 1:53 pm
I really wouldnt believe that there is two bonus tracks just yet…hold your horses madamme, or you may end up dissapointed.

the thing on soulseek is fake. i grabbed a machu picchu file at the same size/bitrate as the guy who is sharing it with the two bonus tracks. it's some metal shit by Adekarset. boo.
- 9 March 6, 2011 at 2:05 pm
@thesolohaters…I think the solo was cool. I mean whats wrong or bad about "wandering around the scales" .what else is he suppose to do? pull some ancient indiana jones chinese fireball melody with scales from zesus himself? get out of here. who was on SNL last night? The Strokes, not you.
- 10 March 6, 2011 at 2:13 pm
@Patrick @Bobby
Imo, the solo on Life is Simple couldn't have been any better. It fit the song perfectly with its slow entrance to the climatic buildup where it just takes you off the ground, and then brings you back again. 100% pure emotion. I play guitar too, and to me, the best solos are not the most complex ones. You Talk Way Too Much, one of my favorite songs from the Strokes, has that amazing, interesting 30 second solo, and its not the hardest to recreate, but its so good because of what it adds to the song. I feel like The Strokes have the best solos of any band i listen to (thats saying quite a bit) and if all of a sudden they went on some 5 minute intricate solo, i'd be really dissappointed. They don't need to prove they can play, everyone here knows that.
- 11 March 6, 2011 at 2:15 pm
Ok, i never thought i'd say this but i'm kind of happy that it hasn't leaked. No disappointment about the FAKE bonus tracks!! 😉
- 12 March 6, 2011 at 2:17 pm
common guys, update from what.cd/soulseek?
i've got a face value floor reserved seating strokes ticket to the first person who gets me that album.
- 13 March 6, 2011 at 2:17 pm
Anyone know whats going on with the synth background? any speculations on who's controlling it?
Perhaps pedal loop? I am so glad they don't have some random person playing keys in the background.
- 14 March 6, 2011 at 2:22 pm
Actually that reminds me didn't they say in an interview with Zane Lowe (for RoF) that they keep their weirdy space jams for fun on the road?! I hope he doesn't embrace that wanky guitar-god mode Patrick was talking about with the les paul. I hate that shit. Though I sent my friend the SNL clips and his only comment on the whole performance was "Nick looks horny for his guitar".. he's not much of a fan!
- 15 March 6, 2011 at 2:22 pm
I thought the solo was good and fit well with the song, but I also recognize people's right to dislike it and voice their opinion. So what if they were on Saturday Night Live? I wasn't aware they were going on the show to have everyone kiss their asses and eat up any old turd they laid (not that they laid any turds). When you choose to put yourself on a national stage you have to expect that maybe a few people will dislike one or two things about your performance. I've come to really enjoy this site, because there aren't too many people who are unwilling to accept an opinion (although there are still plenty). I've crapped on 'You're So Right' plenty of times and luckily people have been kind enough to either agree to disagree or not go off on me for my lack of Strokes worship. So stop hating the haters, unless you're a part of the band your opinion is just as valid (or more like non-valid as everyone else's)
- 16 March 6, 2011 at 2:24 pm
Yeah i'd also like to know how there's a faint harmony line when it seems like none of the other members sang last night?
- 17 March 6, 2011 at 2:27 pm
@theprosolos I think he was saying that this solo's are too intricate, like wanking the fretboard, Eric clapton-shreding and stuff. (I believe the technique in guitar world is called scale-masturbation) and not like the old simple melodic singable solos that they used to make.
That is what he was saying, i think. In my opinion they are still good, but the ones you could actually sing along too weere cooler. (Sorry for the bad-english)
- 18 March 6, 2011 at 2:30 pm
@clare True there's a point where I hear someone singing with julian….Hearing the song again to find the part….
It's at 1:13 minute into the song, during the chorus when they go "you never"…I think.
- 19 March 6, 2011 at 2:31 pm
thank god for the download I have been listening like a hundred times! IM so glad they played my fav song! Jules has good taste aha
- 20 March 6, 2011 at 2:45 pm
Yeah it's around 1.08.. if i could make out the lyrics, it's just before he goes into "Don't try to stop us". It's almost like he splits his voice. Sounds cool anyway. But he didn't try it for UCoD, i don't think.
- 21 March 6, 2011 at 3:29 pm
@Patrick: Guitar is my instrument too, but I've liked the solos. The Strokes have never had complicated or flashy solos. Most of them are pretty simple. It's actually one of the things I love so much about them, that they manage to make those simple notes sound amazing. And they're still doing it.
- 22 March 6, 2011 at 3:36 pm
I would like to give all credits to people who write a comments before, they're absolutly right, but will they play Killing Lies again ?
- 23 March 6, 2011 at 3:44 pm
@AunomdelaFrance I don't think so, + now they will have more songs to play live so you can imagine how slim the chances are that they play killing lies
- 24 March 6, 2011 at 4:25 pm
Given the lyrics hard not to think this one isn't about the bands struggles to record a new album
- 25 March 6, 2011 at 4:27 pm
For those who are wondering how the synth is playing and how their could be that little harmony with Julian's singing during the live performance its this: backtracks. I've done this with my band. They each had their in ear moniters in so they could hear not only the other band mates instruments, but also a click track that they play along with which has certain sound effects and such programmed to pop up at the correct time in the song. I hope that makes a little sense. I dont wanna go into a ton of detail cuz im lazy but basicly that is it. Most bands on stage use these if there are extra sounds they want to play during their live sets.
- 26 March 6, 2011 at 4:45 pm
@Giorgi T haha this song is obviously not about the band's struggle to record a new album
- 27 March 6, 2011 at 5:05 pm
Does anyne know where can I find the lyrics to the song? I can't completely understand it ):
- 28 March 6, 2011 at 5:35 pm
@ Stephanie
Check the previous comments! Some dude tried to write the most of it down.. seems to be pretty correct!
Great lyrics btw.. from what you can hear 🙂
- 29 March 6, 2011 at 5:43 pm
Trevor, I agree with almost everything you posted. I also play guitar and You Talk Way Too Much is also one of my favorite songs by the Strokes, including that great little solo. That is actually one of my favorite riffs the band has ever done. Less is more with most music, IMO, and the Strokes solos are incredible for the most part. Short, basic but interesting, catchy as hell, etc. I'm just not a fan of the solo in Life is Simple, but maybe it'll sound a little better on the album.
- 30 March 6, 2011 at 6:09 pm
Ahhh I can't wait to see them again at sxsw next Thursday!
- 31 March 6, 2011 at 6:46 pm
Holy shit. When I heard this last night for the first time I teared up. This is pure old school strokes. Although it does not sound like there are many more tunes on the album like this one, this one is already an instant classic. I cannot freaking wait to see them in New Orleans in May!!!!!!!! Julian's voice sounds great. Albert looks great and is having a great time. Fab, as usual is on his game. The saviours are back and ready to reclaim their title as the heavyweight champions of rock and roll!!
- 32 March 6, 2011 at 6:51 pm
Is anyone else getting a Joy Division vibe from the chorus?
- 33 March 6, 2011 at 9:37 pm
@Bob — I never would have placed it, but now that you mention it, and considering Albert tweeted "Love Will Tear Us Apart" lyrics today, yeah, I do hear a similarity (right down to the synths). Good ear!
- 34 March 6, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Sorry Mick, while I like this song, I don't see what you mean about it being "old school Strokes". You're telling me this song wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb on Is This It?
- 35 March 6, 2011 at 11:08 pm
I could see this as a song that would be on ROOM ON FIRE instead of IS THIS IT
- 36 March 6, 2011 at 11:27 pm
Just to let everyone know, the soulseek leak is a bust! Don't download from someone with the name a1b2c3d4e5 or something like that, it's just some bullshit hard rock bands songs. SO PISSED RIGHT NOW
- 37 March 7, 2011 at 12:15 am
hey, does anyone know how Jules gets that subtle distortion effect on his voice?
I'm recording a CD and i absolutely love the warmth it gives to the mix, I'd really like to know…
- 38 March 7, 2011 at 12:17 am
What? You didn't like my torrent? Although, I'm pretty sure people on here have already broken this story (that the torrent is fake)… so some demerits for not looking into it at all before hand.
- 39 March 7, 2011 at 12:38 am
http://twitter.com/notmarcocollins – says something about a leak. do any of you people use TWITTER?? cuz I don't. someone should ask him for a link and get it too the rest of us who can't wait any longer for this CD!!!!
- 40 March 7, 2011 at 12:40 am
I know it's out somewhere cuz a few people have said they have it already. people need to be friendly and post a link
- 41 March 7, 2011 at 10:11 pm
Thanks! Awesome lyrics (:
- 42 March 7, 2011 at 11:27 pm

With neither side able to land a decisive blow, Calle Barrling attributed Sweden's goalless draw with fellow Group B heavyweights Spain to mutual respect. A semi-final berth awaits both teams and Ángel Vilda's Group B winners are ready to take on "whoever the draw holds". Milan Rastavac, meanwhile, reflected on Serbia's "huge experience" and Mo Marley bemoaned England's lack of composure in a game of "fine margins".
Calle Barrling, Sweden coach
That game was like a match between two heavyweight boxers, the teams were really sparring with each other. Neither of the sides wanted to take many risks, probably because they respect us and we respect them, so the draw was the right result. Like their coach said, we knocked out Germany but there are now four teams in this competition – all of whom can win – so it doesn't matter who are the favourites.
We don't mind who we face, we'll just play our own game and want to keep on winning. We made some changes today, as did Spain, but it's not just about resting players. We've got a very good bench too and wanted to make sure everybody kept up their match sharpness, as it could be one of those newcomers who end up being the hero at a later stage.
Ángel Vilda, Spain coach
It was a very even game, just like we expected, though the clearest opportunities went our way. The two teams played a lot of players who hadn't been involved before and needed to get some game time, which they've now got. The match was very keenly contested – though I think we clearly edged it. The 0-0 draw is a good result for us because it ensures we successfully finished in first place in the group.
I don't mind who we face in the semis, we'll take on whatever the draw holds for us. In terms of who is the favourites for this tournament, I've been saying for months, and I'll say it again now, that Sweden must be the favourites as they're the ones who knocked out Germany – which must have been a huge boost for their confidence.
Milan Rastavac, Serbia coach
We showed slightly more experience than previous games and it comes down to what this tournament has brought us. The strong opposition we have faced have taught us lessons, to be more compact in defence and keep the ball better. There were chances for both sides but the most important things for us is that we improved and played at a higher level, which was our main goal.
We have time to develop since only four of our players will be ineligible for next year's competition, so we will have the same core group. It has been a huge experience and the only thing missing was the results, but I put this down to inexperience.
Mo Marley, England coach
I'm really happy we've got a point. After the disappointment of losing 4-0 [against Spain] we showed a lot of character. We were brave, and the way the girls have acquitted themselves shows we deserve to be here. We're honest enough to know we've got to do better in the future but I think the way we applied ourselves and stuck with the principles of playing the game in the right manner justifies why we are here.
You've got to take your opportunities. That's youth, it's inexperience and playing with haste. At this level there are fine margins. Sometimes it's about playing badly but still winning.
We've played well in patches and competed with everyone and they would say we're tough opposition. I think we are on the right track for the future.

We believe that if investors want exposure to a telecom-oriented company that offers great turnaround potential, they should buy the mobile services provider Sprint Nextel (NYSE:S). We can see that Sprint has made significant progress in its turnaround project because not only does it have the right to sell Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) wildly popular iPhone smartphone and iPad tablet computing devices, but because its Network Vision project has been dismantling its archaic 2G iDEN Nextel network and Sprint joined AT&T (NYSE:T) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ) in offering 4G LTE communications services. While Sprint's near-term upside will be limited because of the terms of its merger agreements with SoftBank (OTCPK:SFTBF) and Clearwire (CLWR), we believe that Sprint still offers solid long-term potential for investors because of its strong fundamental factors, and that is why SoftBank was willing to acquire 70% of Sprint. We said it before and we'll say it again: Sprint is the best value for the consumer and the best value for wireless investors.
Source: Wireless Company Websites
Revenue Trends: Sprint's revenue peaked in 2007 at $41B, and this was because it acquired two of its former wholesale affiliates in 2007 and one of its former affiliates in 2006. Sprint's revenue troughed in 2009 at $32.26B, and this represented a decline of 21.4%. Sprint's revenue had incremental growth from 2010-2011, and Sprint's wireless revenue growth rate in the first nine months actually exceeded Verizon Wireless's revenue growth. Sprint's wireless revenue growth rate has also exceeded AT&T Mobility's wireless revenue growth rate in the last three quarters, and it has also exceeded AT&T Mobility's wireless service revenue growth rate for the last five quarters.
Verizon Wireless's minimum monthly service price for smartphone customers that use 2GB of data each month is $80 for prepaid plans and $100 for contract customers. There are two reasons we believe why AT&T hasn't does away with its individual plans in favor of "family share plans" like Verizon Wireless. The first reason is AT&T's 4G-LTE footprint only covers 125 cities versus 470 for Verizon Wireless, the second reason is that AT&T no longer has exclusivity with regards to carrying Apple's iPhone smartphone device, and the third reason is the first two reasons have led Verizon Wireless to add 7.2M retail postpaid customers since the end of FY 2010, versus 1.7M for AT&T Mobility in that time period.
Source: Last eight quarterly reports for Verizon and AT&T
Because the AT&T/Verizon duopoly has pushed forth with plans to boost monthly service fees for Data packages, we believe that Sprint's Unlimited Text and Data Package with 450 Anytime minutes for $79.99/month is a fantastic deal for smartphone customers, especially iPhone customers. While Sprint's 4G LTE Network footprint is smaller than that of Verizon and AT&T, we can see that Sprint has been making significant progress in extending its 4G LTE Network footprint since July (49 cities as of December). Sprint's revenue has increased in 7 out of the last 10 quarters on a linked quarter basis thanks to strength in its prepaid and wholesale segment, and its quarterly revenue has increased on a year-over-year basis during the last nine straight quarters. We are pleased that Sprint's Virgin Mobile USA prepaid subsidiary has been selling the iPhone without a contract since June, and we believe that Virgin Mobile USA's $55/month smartphone plan offering unlimited talk, text and data is quite simply the best value for American wireless customers.
Source: Morningstar Direct
Tablet Computing Devices: Sprint has the lowest number of connected devices customers with regards to the Big Three U.S. carriers. However, we believe that there is more potential for Sprint going forward in the tablet computing space. Sprint began reporting to investors its connected devices customer numbers in Q1 2012, and the company has seen its connected devices customer base grow from 2.6M in Q1 2011 to 3.36M in Q4 2012, even though it only has between two to four tablets and laptops for sale at a given time and was previously selling lower-end devices like the ZTE Optik. We believe that Sprint has the potential to improve its competitive position in the connected devices space because Sprint gained the right to sell Apple's revolutionary iPad device in November, which was earlier than we were anticipating. We were anticipating that Apple would release its newest iPad devices in March, and we were expecting Sprint to beginning selling the iPad then. We think it is worth repeating the reasons why we believe Apple let Sprint join the iPad party when it released its newest iPad devices:
- Sprint is on pace to satisfy its $15.5B iPhone purchase agreement with Apple
- Sprint's progress in building out its 4G LTE footprint and improving its 3G network as part of the Network Vision project
- Over 40% of Sprint's iPhone sales have been to new customers, and the number of new customers buying an iPhone through Sprint is comparable to the number of new customers buying an iPhone through AT&T/Verizon
- Sprint's willingness to sell the iPhone through its Virgin Mobile USA prepaid brand
- Sprint has been aggressively promoting its iPhone availability, while AT&T has sought to displace Apple's iPhone with Nokia's Lumia Windows Phone devices and Verizon is pushing Android devices in order to displace Apple's iPhone
- Sprint's previously high end tablet computing device available for sale was the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Considering that Samsung infringed on Apple's patents, this would be a great way to stick it to Samsung
- Sprint has reported a higher linked quarter connected devices customer growth rate than AT&T in Q1 2012, Q2 2012 and Q3 2012, even though AT&T has the iPad.
Cash Flows: Despite ramping up capital expenditures in 2011 and 2012 as part of its Network Vision transformation, Sprint had a small free cash flow deficit in 2011 (-$37M) and the first nine months of 2012 ($268M). We also expect Sprint's free cash flows to increase after 2013 once it completes the Network Vision project and shuts down the Nextel iDEN network. We see two ways that Sprint will see increased cash flows from the completion of Network Vision. The first way is through capital spending that is stable or lower in 2014 and afterwards, and that the Network vision project is expected to save Sprint $1-$2B in annual operating expenses, which it can use to bolster profits and to reinvest in promotional activity to improve its competitive position against AT&T and Verizon.
Macroeconomic environments: Sprint generates all of its revenues from the U.S., which we believe will perform better than Europe and Japan, even with concerns about the Federal budget. We have also seen economic slowdown in the formerly fast growing emerging markets of Asia and LatAm.
Conclusion: Based on these four factors identified, we conclude that Sprint offers a high likelihood of turnaround potential in the telecom sector. We see Sprint has made significant progress in its turnaround journey with manageable execution risk. Sprint is gambling its company's future on selling the Apple iPhone. So far, we find that there's a strong momentum for Sprint and its Apple iPhone partnership. Sprint Nextel may never be Apple, and it has a long way to go to catch up to Verizon Wireless and AT&T. The last reason why we believe Sprint offers good long-term potential is because Sprint also has the benefit of a deep-pocketed new parent (SoftBank), and this will enable it to bulk up its network faster than it was originally planning.

Negotiating Legal Fees with a Personal Injury Attorney
Accidents are devastating. At all costs, people try to avoid causing accidents. Despite such measures from most drivers, others fail to observe road rules and end up running into other vehicles or passersby. Failing to adhere to existing rule can be due to negligence or driving under the influence. Given the idea, it is important to have professional legal representation when you want to sue a reckless driver. With such representation, a person has to find and hire an attorney whereby negotiating the legal is an important part of the process.
The siegfried and jensen firm should be hired. You will start by finding the appropriate contact details. Lawyer's contacts are easy to find. The first place a person should check is on websites. You will find the email address and phone contact on the official site of an attorney if he is working independently. Otherwise, law firm websites will display lawyer's contacts under their profiles. This option is good since lawyers provide correct contact details when joining a law firm or bar association.
Having established some communication with a prospective lawyer, you should start talking about the legal fees. It is common for lawyers to ask for consultation fees. If you are able to pay the same, proceed to do so as you want the services right away. For the negotiation meeting, you should not pay any money. Your financial status is always the biggest determinant in the amount of money you will manage to pay. A person can also choose an attorney based on his legal fee rates. A siegfried and jensen lawyer should be hired.
Apart from your financial level, the extent of your injury will also play a part in determining the legal fee. Serious or catastrophic injury lawsuits tend to drag in court. Making many court appearances mean that a person and his lawyer will have to spend money and resources. Given the idea, the legal fee will be higher compared to less serious injuries that take a short time to get compensated. Catastrophic injuries may also require a lot of resources in doing investigation and collecting evidence. To understand more about personal injury lawyer, check out http://www.huffingtonpost.com/tag/personal-injury-lawyers.
Negotiating the legal fee can be open ended whereby the attorney is ready to consider your suggestions. In such situations, you can agree to pay the legal charges from part of the compensation money received after winning a lawsuit. The mentioned agreement is usually possible for attorneys who work on contingency basis. An agreed percentage of the compensation money will cover for the above charges.

AIFW – Mattijs van Bergen
Tags amsterdam, designer, fashion week, interview
30 year old Mattijs van Bergen, born in the Eastern part of the Netherlands, studied at the ArtEZ arts college in Arnhem and at the renowned Central Saint Martins College in London. Today, he works as a designer and has already been honored by highly respected magazines such as British Vogue and L'Officiel Paris.
With his collection, Mattijs shows a strong sense for aesthetic feminine clothing, sometimes in quite striking, flashy colors. After having presented collections in Paris and London, he now showed his AW10 collection at the Amsterdam International Fashion Week.
Why did you decide to become a designer? Have you always known that fashion would be your future?
I just enjoy designing clothes for women. I was always convinced to be a creative person, however that could have meant anything. I would also enjoy designing longer-lasting things, like interior design objects. But for now I enjoy working with fabrics – the movements the cause around the body in a piece of clothing.
What does fashion mean to you and how do you feel about the fact that a lot of people have the opinion that the fashion industry is shallow?
Fashion is just fashion, and that's a good thing. I believe that the idea of a shallow fashion industry is a matter of different perspectives. Fashion has always existed, and it is more than ever an artistic challenge to separate it from the mainstream you see on the streets these days.
What inspires you the most for your collections? What gives you ideas? And do you attend other designers' shows?
I get ideas from everywhere. I go to museums, or the library, where it is quiet enough to immerse myself in pieces of art or photography. In Paris and London, where I showed my collection during the fashion weeks, it was very interesting and pleasant to see what other designers think and how they create their clothes.
Fashion blogs are a big thing at the moment. What do you think about this new kind of fashion journalism?
In my opinion, fashion blogs are a new medium with lots of potential of developing into something with much more profoundness. Right now, things are still quite transient, but because everything moves so quickly, I am curious to see the upcoming changes in this field.
How do you see yourself?
I am a creative, calm and happy person.
What should new people in this business know or pay attention to?
I think it is good to talk to friends as soon as problems occur, and to look for a solution together.
So far, you have experienced many interesting things in your career. Has there been a year that you would want to live through again? Or any projects that you did not finish and that you would want to put into practice?
After highschool, I took a year to travel to Brazil and just do what I wanted every day. I hope to be able to live like that again sometime.
I am full of ideas. Time will show which ones I will be able to put into practice.

To All Depository Institutions and Others Concerned in the Second Federal Reserve District:
In a Federal Register notice (pdf - 63kb), the Federal Reserve Board requests comments by August 22, 2002, on a proposed restructuring of Federal Reserve credit programs. The proposal, which does not represent a change in the stance of monetary policy, would, among other changes, replace the existing adjustment and extended credit programs with new programs called primary credit and secondary credit, respectively. The interest rate on primary credit would be above, rather than below, short-term market rates. The change would sharply reduce the administrative burden associated with the extension and use of Federal Reserve credit.
Questions on this matter may be directed, at this Bank, to William A. Walsh, Discount Officer.

I suspect Andrew Mitchell has a recurring dream. Every morning, as the first birds sing and before the morning papers land with a sickening thud on his doorstep, he begins to twitch in his sleep. Mrs Mitchell knows the signs. There will be no more sleep for her this dawn. She sighs.
In his dream, the chief whip is riding his bike along Downing Street from number 12. He nears the gates at the end. A policeman steps forward: "Excuse me sir, would you mind dismounting, and wheeling your bicycle through the pedestrian gate?"
"Why, of course, officer," Mr Mitchell replies. "In the past your colleagues have been kind enough to open the main gates for me, but I do appreciate that they may have been bending the rules, if ever so slightly! You, however, are merely doing your job in difficult and possibly dangerous circumstances, and I will be more than happy to comply with your wishes."
As he dreams on, the policeman gives him a respectful salute, and moments later he is back on his bike, wobbling down Whitehall towards a well-deserved dinner at the Carlton Club.
Then, suddenly and without warning, he wakes up, screaming! He has the opposite of that moment of utter relief we feel on waking from a nightmare realising it hasn't happened. But it has! The waking horror continues once more, all over again, unceasingly!
And that is certainly what Labour wants. They are still milking this event for everything they can. On Wednesday the shadow home secretary, Yvette Cooper, used it as yet another reason why, in her view, Labour has become the law and order party.
Boris Johnson had said that people who swear at the police should be arrested. "Except, it seems, in Downing Street. It really comes to something when the prime minister and the government chief whip are reprimanded for their lack of respect by a fellow member of the Bullingdon Club!"
All the buzz words, and the buzz thoughts are there. Privilege, arrogance, contempt for public servants. Limitless bliss for Labour.
Ed Miliband answered questions from party members at the conference . The transformation of the gawky geek over the past year has been extraordinary. He looked calm, relaxed, confident. He was more like a slightly old-fashioned TV host – Val Doonican perhaps – than a political leader. After a while I realised that he was flirting with the party, making mildly risqué jokes, tickling the ladies' fancies. "I remember kissing you! … a great-grandmother? You don't look old enough!"
He could even get away with a little lecture. After past defeats the party had turned inward. "We took leave of the electorate, and we took leave of our senses."
Not now. The message was clear: stick with me, and we'll win. It might not be true, but it left them sighing with pleasure. Unlike Mrs Mitchell.

Fulham target Maarten Stekelenburg is set to stay with Roma, according to his agent.
The Dutch international, who was once a target for Manchester United, has been heavily linked with a move away from the Italian capital, with Mauro Goicoechea having taken his position between the sticks in recent times.
Cottagers chief Martin Jol is said to be keen to draft in a new stopper, with current number one Mark Schwarzer now 40 and back-up David Stockdale having moved to Hull on loan.
He has outlined Stekelenburg, who has 54 senior international caps, as one of his top targets.
It's rumoured that Roma are willing to sell, but his agent Rob Jansen stated that there have been no bids made for the 30-year-old:
"At the moment there are just rumours and journalistic speculation." He is quoted by the Daily Mail via calciomercato.
"We have yet to receive a concrete offer, so it is therefore probable that he will stay at Roma in January rather than leave.
"We know what is moving in the goalkeeping market, but nothing has been decided."
Jol has also been linked with Birmingham's Jack Butland, who is believed to be available for around £6m.
But, he may face competition from Liverpool and Southampton, who are said to be tracking the 19-year-old England star.

Ballard busker still buskin' away
If you go to farmers markets, you've probably seen him. Ballard, Fremont, Magnolia, Madrona, Queen Anne, Pike Place, or whatever other market you might frequent -- he's done it all, or just about.
His name is Howlin' Hobbit (www.howlinhobbit.com) and he plays the ukulele, sometimes solo, sometimes with his band, the Snake Suspenderz. He wears felt hats and fezes and flat tops and dresses up like a dapper gentleman from the '20s or '30s. His website says he specializes in old-skool jazz, hokum, novelty tunes and original songs on the ukulele (though he plays a bevy of instruments, including guitar, harmonica, keyboard and even the washboard). And he's been on the streets busking and entertaining passersby in the Seattle area for 28 years now. He's 54.
When asked why he busked, instead of perhaps pursuing a more lucrative career, Hobbit replied:
"It's the most honest work in the world. It's you and your talents and skills, whatever they happen to be, and the passing pedestrians. If you can't convince them to give out some of their money, then," he gave a small shrug, "you make no money."
Hobbit is a Northwest native through and through. He grew up in Portland and Vancouver, moved to Everett when he was 18, and has lived in Edmonds, Burien, West Seattle and now, for the past five years, Ballard -- among other places. At one point, he worked in the high-tech industry at Microsoft in customer service, but those days are gone and now he's focusing full-time on his music, busking nearly every day, sweat beading on his forehead out in the baking summer sun.
Not that busking makes a decent living for him. Far from it, in fact.
"You know what you call a musician without a girlfriend?" he half-joked. "Homeless."
Luckily, Hobbit does have a girlfriend who is supportive. He said he brings home what money he can, but these days busking has been a hard business. While some might blame the economy, Hobbit said it was more because people don't respect busking in America.
"A lot of people think that buskers are the same as pan handlers, and there's a vast difference," Hobbit said. "A busker gives you something, and you can return something, or not."
In Europe, he said, busking has been a tradition going back hundreds of years and people give it its due respect. Whenever he hears of other buskers coming from Europe -- and even with the economic woes the continent is going through right now -- they always say, he said, "Man, it's like Heaven!"
Meanwhile, in America, he said people will walk by him drinking five dollar lattes, maybe smile, and walk away without giving a dollar. Others, strapped with thousand-dollar cameras, will get right up in his face and take a hundred pictures, but won't give a cent otherwise.
Furthermore, even if someone is an extremely talented musician, it doesn't necessarily mean that that person will bring in more money on the streets. In fact, Hobbit said, people often are more sympathetic toward people who look dirtier and scruffier, even though appearances doesn't necessarily equate to level of wealth or poverty.
Hobbit used the example of Joshua Bell to illustrate his point. Bell, a world renowned and Grammy award-winning musician, once played incognito in a Washington, D.C. subway as an experiment arranged by the Washington Post. The idea was that people should take notice of the quality of music being produced and gather in crowds and pitch money, but instead hardly anyone stopped. Bell made only 32 dollars and some change.
"He made less money than I did," Hobbit said. "Let's face it, the boy can play circles around me any day of the week."
In the end, like many musicians, Hobbit doesn't do it just for the money, whatever scraps they may be. He does it for the art.
"You can make just about every aspect of your life into art – how you dress, the foods you cook and how you do it and what plates you serve it on – all of it can be an artistic endeavor," he said. "So if I can do that for me, that could make me a lot happier, and maybe I can spread it out around the area"
Hobbit is optimistic about his future and said he isn't about to quit. He said that he hopes to start doing more gigs at music venues and house parties, and hoped that he could make money in other places rather than playing on the streets.
"I see tingles of seeing it turn around every now and then," he said. "(It's) just like golf. You make just enough good shots in a game to make you want to come out and try again."
When asked what he thought of the busking business after so many years of doing it, one word summed it up for him: "Spotty."
"There's up and downs," he said. "But you know, there's ups and downs pretty much anywhere. No matter what you're doing. I can't imagine it being all roses and isinglass."
