Live Trax 42 is the best show of 2007Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 5:00pm on Tuesday, Jun 13th, 2017
The Official Site announced the latest Dave Matthews Band Live Trax; Live Trax 42 - 9.14.07 West Palm Beach, FL. This marks the first Live Trax release for a Florida venue - a popular spot and home of the late great Ants Parties. 2007 was quite the unique show - it features the best If I Had It All ever. No joke, with a terrific jam intro and a unique "Holding Back The Years" interpolation, if you're not generally a fan of this song, this performance will win you over.
The "new" songs from 2006/07 are featured throughout the show; A Dream So Real, Cornbread (early and a little slower than today), Eh Hee, and Shotgun. Also making an uncommon appearance are Song That Jane Likes and Sweet Up and Down. The encore closed with a rocking Louisiana Bayou and Ants Marching; you might be in the negative in the Bayou department, but this encore just worked. The band was on fire that night, and it was this very show that inspired West Palm Beach to be the host of the very first Ants Party the following year - 2007 was the year that West Palm Beach became the destination venue for fans.
The show is great. Is it the best show of 2007? Yes, by far. Unless you're one of those fans that need guests to make a show great, then maybe you need a Camden or Hollywood in your life. For the rest of us that actually like hearing DMB at DMB shows, this is the best show of 2007. Pre-order today - there's some other swag available, including a poster and a t-shirt.
Live Trax 41 is greatPosted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 4:32am on Wednesday, May 17th, 2017
Fans got their ears on Live Trax 41, and they love it. If you haven't picked up a copy, you should consider it strongly. The show, 3.13.99, is a strong Dave and Tim performance featuring some unique performances, including Stay in a 6/8 time signature, and acoustic versions of The Last Stop and Halloween. If you're on the fence with this one, you might consider picking it up - those who've heard it love it. The release is one of the best in the Live Trax series. Seriously.
Everything you need to know about Live Trax 41 and the Warehouse discPosted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 3:54am on Monday, Mar 27th, 2017
The Official site announced the latest Live Trax -
Let's address some concerns, shall we? First, the difference between a Live Trax and a DMBLive is great - even for an acoustic show. So no, this isn't the "same show" as previously released DMBLive 3.3.99. They're both great shows, but a multi-mix will have a better sound by default. And yes, 3.13.99 is actually a better show than guest heavy 3.14.99. Finally, don't be confused by a great sounding fan-tape; the difference between a fan recording and a professional mix is as great as a lion and a chinchilla. If you're having trouble seeing this, it's on you.
Speaking of things, on you, The Warehouse 7/10 volume 5 is officially announced. The tracks are:
AMERICAN BABY INTRO 7.30.05 Randalls Island Park, New York, NY
So, Last Stop, Bartender/Don't Drink acoustic, Dodo acoustic, Cry Freedom from 94, the first (and only) multi mix recordings of Get In Line and People People. If you can't dig this Warehouse disc, your hard-core fandom has warped your sense of existence. Now, yes, there is a re-release (Crash previously released on a Stand Up bonus disc), and the Stand Up songs are not exactly fan favorites, but you will be hard pressed to find a better American Baby with Roi's great sax outro, and - believe it or not - this is the best Dreamgirl ever. Now. let us never speak of Dreamgirl again, but wait til you hear Roi on the back end of this version. Basically, this is a great release and if you don't get it this is the place for you.
The new Dave and Tim song is from a moviePosted by Jake Vigliotti in Random Appearances at 4:59am on Tuesday, Feb 28th, 2017
Dave Matthews and Tim Reynolds debuted a new song Mother of Africa, February 25 in Mexico. Vusi Mahlasela provided backing vocals on the track, which obviously has an African vibe to it (hence the name). Some websleuths learned that the song is from a 2016 documentary entitled Naledi: A baby elephant's tale. The doc follows an abandoned baby elephant and some people's attempt to rescue and raise it. At the beginning of the trailer, you can hear a studio clip of Mother of Africa.
You can give the song a listen from a fan recording. So... what do you think? Let us know on social media or go old-school and post in the thread and tell us what you think of mother of Africa.
Ants Podcast 83: We're Taking the Year Off*Posted by Matt Yette in Podcasts at 2:50pm on Monday, Jan 23rd, 2017
We are back! And we are quickly back to where we left off; making fun of each other. But thanks to some recent exciting news, we can now temporarily end the hold out. What hold out? Take a listen. We talk about the upcoming year off tour dates, and our expectations for large outdoor venues vs the traditionally indoor quiet show. We dive into what songs may appear in the setlists, and we take a few quick listener questions.
While Apple's built in Podcast app is a great app for listening to the Ants Podcast, an alternative that some might enjoy has emerged: Overcast. Overcast is a great, free podcast app that has gained a lot of popularity since its release. If you're looking for another app for your Ants Podcast fix, give it a try!

You should order Live Trax 40Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 4:43am on Monday, Dec 12th, 2016
As a rule, we at Antsmarching.org don't tell you what to spend your hard earned money upon. But every once in a while something comes along that seems like such a no-brainer. Live Trax 40 is such a fantastic release if you don't have it you don't know what you're missing. We wanted to take a little time and explain a few things in case you're a bit weary on ordering or have ordered and thing something is amiss.
First let's start with the obvious. In 2002, the Dave Matthews Band did not video record in high definition. What that means is that the video doesn't make it all the way across your widescreen TV monitor. And guess what? It's not supposed to. Despite what you hear in advertising, there is no such thing as upconverting. You can't take a video in it's native format, and make it into a higher format. In other words, a 2002 video recording can't magically become a 4k video. You can't upgrade the Mona Lisa into a high definition digital image can you? So you can't expect a 2002 video to suddenly become wide screen.
In other words, yes, the video is not supposed to fit across the screen; it's supposed to be cropped. The 1964 Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer aired December 10. Did you watch it? Shame on you if you didn't. But if you did you didn't even realize the video didn't fit across the screen. That's because just like Live Trax 40 you can't improve it past the original format.
Another "complaint" is lighting. Why is it so dark? The answer lies in concert videos. If you've ever had the pleasure of watching Shine a Light, the 2008 Martin Scorsese documentary concert featuring the Rolling Stones, you can hear Mick Jagger complain about how bright it is on stage. That's because it's very difficult to light properly for video. Unless DMB has an extra crew and enough lights to hit the entire stage, there will be parts that look dark on video. Fenton isn't lighting for a TV audience, he's lighting for the crowd (as well he should). And of course there's Madison Square Garden itself; it's really a poorly lit venue anyway. Yes, it's supposed to be dark.
But the real gem is the audio. DMB records their live audio in multi-track. The true value of the blu-ray isn't the video - that we just explained to you - it's the audio. Once you pop your blu-ray in, choose the 5.1 mix and sit back and enjoy. Stefan's bass pops. Boyd fills your back left speaker while Roi blasts his solos. Dave's voice hits you dead center from the speaker above your TV. The blu-ray truly gives you the feel that you're at MSG.
If you're reading the boards and a bit apprehensive about ordering, fret not. This is a fantastic release. If you haven't picked up that Boxing Day gift for the DMB fan in your life, order Live Trax 40 for them.

The Fantastic Painted series from Blenheim Vineyards is back at it again with the awesome wine! The 2016 release features 2015 grapes - that's why it's called the 2015 Painted Series so don't get confused - and is just as good as ever! The pre-sale is happening right now and runs until December 9.

The wine breakdown this year is as follows:
2015 PAINTED WHITE: 58% Chardonnay, 21% Viognier, 12% Albarino, 9% Sauvignon Blanc.

There are also multiple labels, so you can choose an order package to get em all!

Act quickly and grab this fantastic wine!
Here's all the details on Live Trax 40Posted by Jake Vigliotti in Live Releases at 6:10pm on Monday, Nov 7th, 2016
If you were wondering if Dave Matthews Band's Live Trax 40 would be special, the answer is obviously yes. Let's take a look at what this release has under the hood.
Right off the bat... James Brown! If you're wondering how he even ended up with DMB, the answer lies in the opening act. Karl Denson's Tiny Universe served as James Brown's backing band. If you weren't around back then, the James Brown info leaked out prior to the show; not like anyone believed it however. So it wasn't a complete shock, but still, the Godfather of Soul appearing with DMB was stunning.
Live Trax 40 marks the first full band Blu-Ray release. By default, the audio will be 'better' than a standard DVD video. It's complicated to explain, but it just is. There's also a plethora of add-ons, including posters, t-shirts and an Encore disc. The details aren't out yet but it's from the 2002 winter tour. Please keep in mind that there is a different Bonus Disc for The Warehouse than the DMB store. So if you're a Warehouse member order via their site.

Millions of people live off the electric grid, either by fate or choice. A group of innovators in Florida think they have a way to provide solar power, clean water and Wi-Fi to those people. The technology can be used to power military or emergency response personnel or create a sustainable oasis for people living in poverty.
The Ecos PowerCube, developed by Stuart, Fla.-based Ecoshpere Technologies, is a self-sustaining solar-power system housed in shipping containers. These containers travel quickly and easily, since everything in the world is shipped in these 10′, 20′ or 40′ metal boxes. Once on site, the container can be opened to deploy the solar panels.
The panels can generate up to 15 kW of electricity, which can be used to power wireless telecommunications, Internet access and mobile water treatment systems. Those systems could work effectively for disaster relief teams or even give off-grid hospitals, command centers or temporary schools a way to connect.
Ecosphere Technologies recently acquired a patent for the technology and build the first working PowerCube.

like Koans that I can use for an upcoming book. I is still in the very early stages, but I am writing a drum method book. Its going to be my Masters Thesis (I'm getting a Masters of Education)
I have found music to be a great forum for self exploration, and I want to have this be the foundation of the book, although perhaps not explicitly. Furthermore, I've found that what people refer to as 'talent' largely does not reflect some innate god-given ability, but rather reflects how the talented students go about learning and performing. Thus, if I can set up a method that provides a forum for self exploration, I can get the students to reassess how they go about making decisions for themselves, and thus turn non-talented studetns into talented ones. I've had a fair amount of success with this approach in my teaching, but I've only been explicitly doing it for a year, so I have a lot to learn.
Anyway, music music method books concentrate only on notes, which, to me, is like meditating concentrating only on the syllables of a chant. Other music books, like "The Inner Game Of Music" (based loosely on Zen) and fantastically valuable and are wholly story form.
I'd like to mix the two, with a koan-like approach. ATM, I'm conceptualizing a short story, riddle, joke etc that frames the chapter / section. If anyone has any story they particularly like, or collections, or questions **or criticisms**, please post them!
Some categories are
* The importance of taking your time to do things
* Not to force things
* We do things we are interested in
* We do thinks that make sense to us
* We succeed at the things we understand, not at the things we don't
* Getting better at something is not a matter of doing, it is a matter of learning
* Things take time to develop, and its different for everyone
* Each person's way is different
* etc
this is by no means a comprehensive list - on the contrary I'm certain I'm missing some important categories at the moment. This is just meant to give more of an idea - thanks!

Everyone is connected to everything these days and gadgets rule our lives. This is increasingly true of our cars as automakers bring everything from navigation to Internet access to our dashboards. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood thinks this is a problem and wants it to stop.
The nation's top transportation official worries the proliferation of in-car gadgetry threatens to distract drivers and turn our roads into a giant game of bumper cars, and he's going to do something about it.
"Some of these car manufacturers are putting all these gadgets and bells and whistles that are going to distract people — and we're trying to get gadgets and bells and whistles out of their hands and out of their ears," LaHood said, according to the Detroit News.
Although LaHood wouldn't say whether he's considering specific restrictions, he did say he'll be discussing the matter with automakers.
"I am going to talk to the car manufacturers and see where this leads," he said.
One of the manufacturers he's talking to is Ford, which has made packing its cars with technology a point of pride. LaHood said he and Ford CEO Alan Mulally have been discussing the issue — via email — and Ford agrees distracted driving is an issue.
LaHood's tirade is part of his ongoing campaign — he calls it a "rampage" — against distracted driving. The News cites federal statistics showing nearly 6,000 people died last year in accidents involving distracted drivers and half a million more were injured. On any given day, some 800,000 cars were driven by someone chatting or texting on a cell phone rather than focusing on the task at hand — driving. The News says Ford worries regulators might try to regulate its wildly popular Sync in-car infotainment system.
There's no evidence an outright ban would have any impact. Just last week the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a study finding bans on hand-held phones in California, Connecticut, New York and Washington, D.C., did nothing to reduce traffic accidents. LaHood says the problem lies with the cops who aren't enforcing the bans.

Leon Botstein: 'Rite Of Spring' A Quantum Leap Forward
Yesterday on the show we heard about the controversy that met Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring' when it premiered 100 years, on May 29th, 1913. As we gear up to mark the anniversary of the piece with a live performance in the Greene Space on this May 29th, we continue to hear about the story behind the Rite. Leon Botstein, Music Director of the American Symphony Orchestra and President of Bard College, explains how 'The Rite of Spring' took classical music into the modern world.
Leon Botstein, on whether the music of The Rite of Spring was the source of all the controversy:
It certainly took people aback, but there are people that recognized it immediately as a work of genius. Its success as a piece of music was very quick. It was really the dancing and perhaps the costumes [that caused the controversy]. I think the scandal was less musical than it was theatrical.
On how The Rite of Spring breaks with traditional form of classical pieces:
It's a quantum leap in the use of time and doesn't rely on sequential memory. It doesn't have a recapitulation. It doesn't bring stuff back [to] the beginning. It's a different attitude to the way one makes music. It forces you to confront the moment of time as it's happening. It's tremendously immediate.
On why The Rite of Spring works as a solo piano piece:
What's interesting is that the power of the music, the eloquence of the music, still stays with us. The piano version is actually proof of how good a piece [it is]. Many pieces that are so colorful — as Rite of Spring is — and so dependent on the orchestra and its sound don't translate well to the piano. The Rite of Spring does.

Stop rage posting because we didn't trade for Ocho or sign Rice. Now if you rage post because we haven't signed a CB that is acceptable.

"August: Osage County" has a cast full of A-list talent in a story of a family with a lot of problems. A lot may be an understatement.
The family deals with suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism, infidelity, incest, pedophilia, abuse, neglect and lots and lots of anger. That might not be an exhaustive list, but it's all I can remember.
In short, it's not a happy movie. It is described by many as a dark comedy, but the comedic moments are few and far between.
Sunday, Punxsutawney Phil will pop out of his groundhog hole and tell us if more winter is coming or if spring soon will be on its way. For the love of sanity, please, let it be spring.
It's probably not a stretch to say everyone's had it with this winter. Mostly because of the bone-chilling cold.
The county has been plagued with pipes bursting, furnace issues, school closings and frozen spots on the roads. In short, winter has not been a welcomed friend.
Best friends take the stage once again at Hardin County Playhouse for the fourth play in the Greater Tuna series, "Tuna Does Vegas."
Bo Cecil and Josh Logsdon each play about 12 different roles in the two-man comedy.
The story involves Arles and Bertha, a couple featured in the three previous plays, who are heading to Las Vegas to renew their wedding vows on Valentine's Day and residents of the town of Tuna decide to go with them, Cecil said.
A play like this has challenges, but is fun for these two friends to do together.
Nearly 200 area students disregarded freezing temperatures Monday for a chance to land a spot on "Treasure Island" when Missoula Children's Theatre held auditions at Hardin County Schools Performing Arts Center at John Hardin High School.
The auditions attracted 192 children in first through eighth grades for the production that hits the PAC stage at 7 p.m. today and 1 p.m. Saturday. Between 50 and 60 children ultimately were cast.
University of Kentucky professor of guitar Dieter Hennings will perform a free guitar concert at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Morrison Gallery on the campus of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College.
Hennings has played with a variety of ensembles, won several prestigious competitions and performed around the world including concerts with pop singer Natalie Merchant and baroque violinist Monica Huggett.
He is a resident artist at the East Coast Composers Ensemble and the Eastman Broad Band Ensemble, performing with both.
Elizabethtown author Tabitha Douglas found inspiration for her novel "Master Bloodline" while asleep.
"I had a weird dream that I thought would make a good story beginning," she said.
Douglas, 20, wrote down the dream and began "expanding on it," she said.
That was several years ago.
"I actually started writing the book my freshman year of high school and finished it in my sophomore year," said Douglas, a Central Hardin High School graduate.
A Hardin County dance studio has caught the attention of a California dancewear company, Discount Dance Supply, and is featured on the company's Facebook page this month.
Allegro Dance Theatre of Radcliff was selected to be the "January Spotlight" on the company's page.
"Our photographer, Aurora Selbe, submitted a few of her photos from our website, and we were chosen immediately for the entire month of January," studio director Carol Zagar said.
Elizabethtown Community and Technical College's Morrison Gallery is featuring "Breeze from Heaven," a charity art exhibition for Japan's earthquake and tsunami of 2011 by Elizabethtown artist Mami Tomioka.
The exhibit is on display from now until Feb. 7 and is her third charity event for the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.
The Historic State Theater is going country Saturday as two area singers and Nashville hopefuls take the stage.
Hannah Ellis of Campbellsville is headlining the event. The singer-songwriter sees her songs as pieces of herself put to music.
"I love being able to put into words what I am feeling or going through," she said. "Writing is definitely a great career move, but it is also very therapeutic."

text: When I changed the battery in my 2003 cavalier, all the gauges quit working. The backlighting still works and the theft and engine light are the only lights that come on during starting. I've heard of a power-on-reset problem with the gauges, but pulling all fuses and disconnecting/reconnecting battery hasn't fixed. When vehicle sits for a while some of the cluster lights will come on and wont go out untill battery fuse is pulled. This happened to me before and somehow it came back to life, but I think it was just luck.

Prince William & Kate Middleton Unveil Queen Elizabeth II Portrait in New Zealand
They may be thousands of miles from home and staying in luxury digs, but Prince William and Kate Middleton are definitely not on vacation.
Earlier today (April 10) the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge showed up at the unveiling of a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II by Kiwi artist Nick Cuthell at the Government House in Wellington, New Zealand.
Will and Kate have been lovingly embraced by the locals during their Royal Tour of New Zealand and Australia, with one former Brit joking about taking care of their son Prince George.
Local lady Jan Cross told press, "I said 'is George OK?' and William said 'yes' and I asked if he enjoyed himself at Plunket and he said he had. Then he said, 'You can do some babysitting for us if you like.' I would love to help out with George for the day."

Summer is my favorite season and for many reasons. The beach, the heat, my tan skin, and really fresh food. When autumn rolls around, I get slightly depressed. To me, it is the preeminence to the cold, snow, and winter. However, I do like fall for its brightly colored leaves and the stone fruit; also known as peaches, plums, nectarines, and apricots. I have always loved peaches; especially going out to Davis Peach Farm to get their white peaches. They are so juicy and sweet, and it does not matter that you are going to be a sticky mess by the time you get to the pit. My mom is more of a nectarine fan, because she does not like the peachs fuzzy skin. Also, I like that these fruits remind me of how amazing the summer was. They are the remainder of the beautiful weather and warmth.
Stone fruit is actually very versatile. It can be sweet, like in a peach cobbler, or savory, like apricots in a salad. However, I used peaches in a more savory way. I had found a recipe for chicken quesadillas with sliced peaches in them. To me, that was a little strange, so I thought, What about grilled peach salsa? I put that idea to the test, and it turned out wonderfully! The salty chicken and the spicy cheese was a great contrast against the sweet peaches. It was a delicious end of summer dish and here it is
Preheat the grill or grill pan. In a zip-lock bag place chicken, spices, oil, and the zest and juice of one lime. Season with salt and pepper. Cut peaches in half and cut out pits. Place chicken on the grill and cook through, about 10 minutes. Let rest for about 10 minutes. Place peaches flesh down on grill and char until marks appear, about 8 minutes. Place a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and spray with cooking spray. Slice chicken and shred cheese. Place a tortilla on the skillet and layer with cheese, chicken, cilantro, more cheese, and the top tortilla. Cook until brown, about 5 minutes on each side or until cheese is melted. Peel skin off of peaches and cut into small pieces. Place in a bowl with the juice of the other lime, chopped cilantro, salt and pepper. Place quesadilla on a plate and cut into quarters. Garnish with the salsa and a dollop of sour cream.

This summer, I was lucky enough to have an internship at Dans Papers in the Hamptons. To be perfectly honest, I could not have asked for a better, more exciting experience. But I have to say, my favorite part about this internship was the fact that I got to go on food reviews; pretty much I got a lot of tasty, expensive food for free and wrote about it. With all of the food I consumed, there was one dish that really sticks out in my mind: Corn Chowder from COPA Tapas Bar in Bridgehampton, right down to road from Dans office.
COPA is a Spanish inspired tapas restaurant that serves mostly small dishes, as well as bigger entrees. When I went there, I was treated very well and the chef, Dominic, even came out and spoke to me about each dish. He brought me out flashed fried green peppers with sea salt, cockles with chorizo in white wine and garlic, a huge pan of seafood paella which consisted of lobster, shrimp, and mussels and more. I was surprised the manager did not have to roll me out of the restaurant. The most scrumptious part of this entire meal, however, was the corn chowder with lobster.
At first, I was very hesitant about this dish because from what I have seen of corn chowder it is yellow goop that resembles baby snot, but this was the exact opposite. Chef Dominic called this soup Spain meets the Hamptons because even though they are a tapas bar, they also need to please their customers with certain staple dishes that they are accustomed to. The presentation of this dish was just beautiful. The bowl that the chef placed in front of me was filled with large lobster chunks, pieces of crispy potatoes and corn, and bacon bits. Then he poured the corn broth out of a tea pot all over the top until all of the chunks were swimming. He also explained to me how it was prepared. After he shaved off all of the corn kernels from the cob, he took his knife and scraped the empty cob to squeeze out all of the corn milk. Then he still used the corn cobs in the stock for the soup. To finish it all off, he adds a splash of cream to give it a nice mouth feel.
Once I put the first spoonful in my mouth, I was in heaven. The corn flavor was so prevalent, but the broth was just so creamy; I could not believe how good it was. Then in the background was a smokiness, which came from the bits of bacon and the fat he cooked the corn kernels and potatoes in; and the lobster was just the decadent cherry on top. Needless to say, I ate the entire bowl happily.
When my internship is over, my goal is to recreate this dish. Right now, corn is at its peak and absolutely delicious. So, even if you are not as ambitious as me when it comes to cooking, just grab a few cobs, boil them up, and slather butter all over them.

Hi guys,
I was starting this new personal project to improve myself with new skill... during this step I learn MARI, infact this is my frist project with that... but I used to fix better in the end the texture PS... welll i'm still working on texturing especially for Alpha
so this is my situation right now
sychinropus splendidus is the name of fish! that is a render without any kind of comp.
like I said it is a wip, i'm working on alpha map and my shading right now... i think also is one of my frist use of SSS... and I building something like this... obliuvisly like you can see i'm preparing to work in comp after(with writecolortobuffer)!

2. Play for and make the breaks and when one comes your way - SCORE.
Tennessee 30, Arkansas 22, November 15, 1997
Phillip Fulmer told reporters in the postgame press conference that he had expected a battle from Arkansas in Little Rock. The back-and-forth fight between the Volunteers and Razorbacks exceeded even the head coach's expectations.
Peyton Manning crossed the 10,000 passing yards mark for his Tennessee career with a 264-yard performance. Manning also became the third quarterback in SEC history to reach the mark, tossing three touchdowns in the winning effort. But it was Manning capitalizing on a pair of breaks created by the Tennessee special teams that made all the difference for the Volunteers.
UT struck first, as Manning connected with Jamal Lewis for a 23-yard score just 3:41 into the game. After an Arkansas field goal cut the UT lead to four early in the second quarter, Jeromy Flower intercepted a Manning pass and took it 36 yards the other way for a touchdown that gave UA its first lead in the game at 10-7.
The Vol offense sputtered again a series later, Flower fumbled the ensuing punt and Jerrod Haydon pounced on it to keep possession with UT. Six plays later, Manning hit Marcus Nash for a 13-yard TD to give Tennessee a 14-10 lead at the break.
In the third quarter, Razorback kicker Todd Latourette, who entered the game with just three made field goals on the season, connected on his second and third FGs of the game to give Arkansas a 16-14 lead. Jeff Hall gave UT the lead back, 17-16, with an 18-yard field goal of his own.
Rod Stinson capped an 81-yard drive for Arkansas with a 1-yard TD run to give Arkansas yet another lead, which stood at 22-17 after a missed two-point conversion. From there, it was all Tennessee.
Manning hit Nash for his second TD of the day, a 49-yard bomb up the right sideline, giving UT the lead at 23-22, after a missed two-point attempt. The teams traded fruitless possessions before Tennessee got that last break - and scored.
Eric Brown came up with the biggest play of his Vol career, blocking a Razorback punt deep in their own territory with 4:27 to go. Two plays later, Lewis put the game on ice with a dive across the goal line for the final 30-22 margin, keeping Tennessee's march toward its first SEC Championship Game appearance moving on.
"I wish we could say we called the blocked punt," Fulmer said. "Eric just saw an opportunity. It was huge to get points off of it."
"I just tried to take the ball off the kicker's foot," Brown said. "It's a big win and it helps our team go on. It's an opportunity to change the game around."

The letter-writing flurry began as soon as the recruits marched off to camp. Men in Indiana traveled various distances to the rendezvous sites, some close enough for relatives to visit them. But as soon as the soldiers were in camps-to train for battle, or in the midst of battle-they managed to find time to write.
Sometimes sad, sometimes funny, the letters all reflected the common denominator of military training - at the same time, both boring and excruciatingly demanding.

My firearms novice friend, well he's not so much of a novice any more, but he's not yet as dedicated as I am (hehe) is looking for a rifle.
I will summarize his case and keep him fairly anonymous. He splits his time between a gun friendly state, where the rifle will live, and a non gun friendly state, where he'd rather not be caught dead with it. Other factors such as his place of employment and their policies are in effect here.
Realize this is a guy who by some miracle from God sees the inherent value of a couple of guns and enjoys them mildly. I can see that, there are things I enjoy somewhat but am not committed to beyond a couple of token investments. This isn't a guy who is applying for a C&R any time soon, and just doesn't get excited or at least interested when you talk about your old Webley.
He thinks I'm a gun nut. But only because he's yet to meet a real gun nut.
I'm telling you that to give you perspective. His irons of choice are an XD9 and a Winchester 1300 Defender. I can't help but admit I had a hand in those choices...
Yeah I know, no .22.
Anyway, now he wants a rifle. I gave him the pat answer to get a .22 caliber rifle, because honestly if I was only going to have one rifle, that'd be it. And in his situation, I can actually agree with his other choices for social work.
Anyway I think I've talked him into getting a 10/22 for its own sake, but he's still interested in that Holy Grail of all purpose rifles. I told him that was all well and good, but the fact of the matter was an all purpose rifle by its very nature is going to be lacking somewhat when it comes to specific applications due to its very nature. He refined his criteria and sent me a PM detailing what he wanted it for and why.
So here we go.
-Basic format is a self loading rifle that uses a detachable box magazine.
-"Normal" chambering. Think .223 or .30-06 or something else relatively common, in a light to middle of the road round. .204 Ruger or .458 Lott chambering need apply for instance.
-$500 hard upper price limit. He might budge on this a little. He's got money if he'll just save it.
-Synthetic furniture preferred
-No milsurps or "mainstream military format" rifles (not sure what that means but I can guess). That right there makes things difficult.
-Modern, new production rifle with widely available parts/accessories.
-Optics may be considered at some point but not yet.
-Intended purpose: Mostly fun, 200 yards and less target shooting, Katrina aftermath type scenario
Now I can tell you what he likes... he likes black evil looking guns that could feasibly be used as props in a Matrix movie. That's his style.
I thought about it and gave a couple of non recommendations that break one or more criteria, like the SKS, or an AK47 clone with synthetic furniture, etc.
The only thing I could really think of that seemed along his criteria was the Remington 7400 in .308 or .30-06 with the synthetic furniture. I've seen them in the $450ish range. It meets all the criteria.
Later I thought perhaps the SU-16 Alpha might be in that price range, but thing is I don't have full confidence in either of these suggestions.
I had also considered telling him to check into a pistol caliber carbine of some sort. There should be something in his price range and since he really just wants something fun that could be used to fend off crazed looters and rioters in a pinch, it might make sense for him.
It's an interesting mental excercise, honestly. I think if he could find one an SKS-D would please him to no end, but he doesn't want an SKS or AK47 type format so it's back to square one.

"I used the red for a bold pop of color. Love how the card stands out in a group of other people's cards. VERY pleased with this and highly recommend based on quality and creative design."
"I am happy with my business cards. This is my 2nd time ordering my design. The only thing I would 'tweak' a bit is to have the font a bit larger. Other than that, these cards are lovely & the customer service is superb!"
"I have received many positive comments about the card. Color, font and quality are just lovely. The swirl of leaves on card are just enough and don't take away from information being presented."
"I wanted a card that was professional. I am an attorney and I needed something that I could hand to a judge or another attorney or client who would view me as someone reputable. However, since this was the first business card I was getting that my boss wasn't picking the design for I also wanted something unique and fun and memorable beyond the boring classic. This is it. Love this card. Love how you can put details on the back as well."
"I wanted a business card that was a bit different from all of the rest. This card was really nice for my hsuband's landscaping company. My only complaint is that it is a little small but the dimensions are written so that is really my own fault. My husband loves them and I am proud to hand them out for him!"

Here is the situation.
One of my co workers bought her sister a manufactured home a bunch of years ago that is located in a orange county trailer park. She did this to help her sister out as they were previously living in a hotel in LA. (Drug dealers,hookers,gun shots etc...) She bought a 1982 unit for approx 40K back when the market was much hotter....The sister was supposed to pay her back but quit making payments almost imediatley (she came to grips with that years ago)
Yesterday she gets a call from said sister that says this trailer is unlivable there abandoning it and her husbands mom bought them a newer unit in another park.
Here is where she needs some info..... The unit is registered to the crappy sister and my co worker is the legal owner. There is a chance the sister has a lease in the park that is yet to be fullfilled.....(sister dosent have good credit and could care less)
My co worker also wants to know what will happen to the unit and if they will try and go after the legal or registered owner for removal. (The unit isn't worth fixing up as the sister and her family trashed it over the last 5+ years and in the current RE market it isnt worth anything)
she knows she got screwed out of 40K but wants to know what her liabilites could be?
Can she leave it as is or is she going to get reamed credit/collections wise when the sister walks.(She told her last night and space rent due on 1st)
My co worker isn't on the most recent lease
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated

I am a big fan of Carlos Tevez and I was disappointed
to see him go to Manchester
If he'd gone to a
club of equal or bigger stature to Manchester United, it would have been
understandable, particularly in light of United's
reluctance to offer him a permanent contract.
He had the opportunity to sign for Liverpool, Chelsea, Inter Milan or
even Real Madrid, and he would have been competing for silverware straight away
at those clubs.
But when he says he is going to City to win things, it just
doesn't add up. However ambitious
the club's owners, it is fanciful to
suggest they could compete for the Premier League this season.
Sir Alex Ferguson's
suspicions that a deal was done with City in the winter will increase the
feeling among United fans that they have been let down by somebody they adored.
They gave Tevez an incredible amount of support, and insisted that the club made an effort to keep him.
But he turned United down to go to their near neighbours,
and you can only conclude that money was his motivation.
Throw in the possibility that he knew as early as January
that he was off to City, and he may get a hot reception when he returns to Old
Of course Tevez's agent Kia Joorbachian, who basically owned
him, had an interest in him taking the most lucrative deal - but in the end
it is the player that signs the contract and neither of them would have gone hungry had he taken any of the other offers.
The best City can hope for this season is a top-four finish,
but it will all depend on how quickly the new arrivals settle.
Mark Hughes has a huge squad and there is bound to be a
certain amount of bad feeling from the players who have stuck with them through
the tough times.
Stalwarts like Richard Dunne and Stephen Ireland are not
going to feel too good if they end up on the fringes, and Hughes has a real job
on his hands keeping a united squad, particularly with the big influx of egos.
He has about eight strikers, and at any one time six of them
are going to be angry at not being in the team.
The team has to gel quickly. After all, Chelsea spent many millions of Mr Abramovich's money on players, but owed their success to
discipline and organisation.
It doesn't matter
how many superstars you sign, that is the cornerstone of any successful side.
Sparky has a tough job and he knows it. He starts the season
with an axe hanging over his head. The reality of modern football is that, if
you spend other people's money, you
need to produce instant results whatever the difficulty.
I think the first 10 games could make or break their season,
so a fast start is imperative.

Phototherapy is a broad term used to describe a multitude of treatment procedures that utilize ultraviolet (UV) light. Phototherapy is used to treat acne, eczema, psoriasis, and other conditions. Phototherapy is also called light therapy.

There are many different types of phototherapy procedures. Blue light, red light, or green light, Intense Pulsed Light (IPL), and photodynamic therapy are light treatments that are often used to treat acne.

Some light treatments are offered at day spas and medical spas. Others can be done at your dermatologist's office.

How does phototherapy work to treat acne?

During a phototherapy treatment, the affected areas of the skin are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light for a specific length of time, depending on your skin and the type of treatment being done. In the case of photodynamic therapy, a photosensitizing agent is applied to the skin first to enhance the effects of the treatment.

Phototherapy works to treat acne in a few different ways. First, they can help reduce the amount of acne-causing bacteria (Propionibacteria acnes) on the skin. Some light treatments also work on the sebaceous glands, shrinking them and reducing the amount of oil they ultimately produce.

Light treatments also can have anti-inflammatory effects, so they can help reduce redness and swelling of those inflamed breakouts.

You'll need a series of treatments to get results. Most people will need one or two sessions a week for a period of time.

Phototherapy isn't used as a first line treatment for acne.

Phototherapy isn't considered a go-to treatment for acne. There just haven't been large scale studies done on the effectiveness of light therapies, especially comparing their effectiveness to topical medications. And there are no standards to treatment -- like how often treatments should be done, and for how long.

So, phototherapy isn't used as a first line treatment for acne. It's best used alongside topical acne medications or oral acne medications.

Light therapies work best for mild to moderate inflammatory acne. It has a modest effect on non-inflamed breakouts (comedonal acne, for example).

In select cases, your dermatologist may use phototherapy alone to treat acne. For example, phototherapy may be good for pregnant women with inflammatory acne who aren't able to use more traditional acne treatments like topical retinoids and isotretinoin.

And light therapy is a good option for who have decided not to use traditional acne medications because of worries about the side effects, or people who are committed to using more natural therapies.

Phototherapy has its drawbacks.

Besides needing to be studied more, phototherapy does have some drawbacks you should consider before jumping into treatment.

Light treatments are very expensive when compared to traditional acne medications. And, in the vast majority of cases, you're on the hook for the entire cost. Insurance doesn't cover phototherapy for acne, because it's not considered a proven treatment.

Also, it's time consuming. You'll need to commit to a few treatments a week for several weeks.

It isn't a cure for acne. Just like with acne medications, phototherapy helps short-term but it might not keep acne away for the long haul. To maintain your clear skin you'll have to keep treating your acne either with a topical acne medication or by continuing your phototherapy treatments.

And, just like with any acne treatment, phototherapy can cause side effects. Some side effects you might experience are discomfort, dryness, minor peeling, redness, and photosensitivity (basically, you're more sensitive to sunlight for a period of time).

While phototherapy isn't the right treatment choice for everyone, it can have a place in acne treatment routine. If you're interested in having phototherapy for your acne, talk with your dermatologist.

In the news: student loan debt has grown by 511%.
No, that's not an exaggeration.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is what happens when education is treated as a business, with the profits geared towards the colleges and the lenders.
Let's face it: college education is not worth anywhere near as much as what it used to be, and a Bachelor's is the new high school diploma. All that a Bachelor's degree does nowadays is work as a demarcation of the poverty line: if you have a college degree, you can make the minimum to pay the minimum payments on your bills. It doesn't give you the respect that it used to, and most of the time, the highest-paying jobs require a minimum of a Master's. And, also let's face it, people with any sort of a college degree right now are lucky to find a job.
This isn't a lack of education, it's a lack of employment opportunity. There is absolutely no guarantee that a degree will be the automatic pass to get a job. Most of the time, even an entry-level administrative/secretarial position requires a degree, and it is only a marker that the job is obligated to pay you a certain wage, which, frankly, is still somewhere around the "barely enough to pay my bills" level. And also, most of the college grads are that much more likely to take a job outside their field of study. They really have no choice, because someone's gotta pay those bills.
That's just the pickle: the price of a degree has been steadily rising, and so far I have yet to see proof that said degree matters when it comes to the real world. The US school system isn't based on creativity and independent thought; it's based on regurgitation. Study, study, study to pass the test, and what stays in your head after the test? Little. All that high school focuses on is "Get into college!" Colleges allow for a good bit more of brain-flexing, but the deep drawback to them is that the post-college focus is summed up best as, "Get a good job to pay it all off later." I see career services offered by every school under the sun; classes and workshops on interviews and resumes, job placement services – but how many of those workshops ever mention that the salary that a student or a fresh graduate will receive is completely out of touch with cost of living and student loan payments?
My school boasts an excellent career services program, and I've been in multiple workshops while there. Nowhere was it ever mentioned that the pay rate of the jobs for entry-level would be completely disproportionate to even the most meager NY living. And I was completely out of luck: I didn't have a perfect GPA, and I was a crim-J major in a primarily business-geared university. Everyone was getting these great jobs and internships, but me? Nada. Why? The career department at my school did not have anything to offer to someone in Crim-J, but everything to everyone in business and accounting.
And know what, I don't think anyone mentions that. Nope, it's all about getting people into college, no matter what the cost entails.
I had once written on this blog about schools falsifying FAFSA information in order for the student to receive bigger loans. This goes hand in hand with the topic right now, and I'll point out the glaringly obvious: everyone benefits but the student/grad. The college gets the money, and how they use it is not regulated. In fact, colleges have been hiring more TAs so that they wouldn't have to hire more adjuncts, and TAs are grossly underpaid as they continue their own higher-ed studies; TAs are often graduate and Ph.D. students themselves. Federal funding has been cut back as part of the new "budget", and same goes to the state, so the colleges resort to getting revenue elsewhere…for instance, from loans.
And that's where the trouble begins.
So, readers, here's a question for you: does this or does this not remind you of the mortgage bubble?
Come on: the similarities are there. Out-of-control lending, no thought whatsoever as to repayment, no thought whatsoever as to where the repayment is coming from… And the result is, frankly put, that the majority of a generation is either broke, or fast approaching it. For someone with a $25K/year starter job, to pay out $100K in student loans is just plain not feasible. What happens? They stop paying. And cue a cascade of consequences: jacked-up interest rates on everything else, cue a credit score being shot to hell and back, and a much worse time getting that holy-grail "better job", because more and more employers check credit ratings. Banks foreclose on a defaulted mortgage, so what happens when a student loan is defaulted on?
Ramen noodles and Spam are not supposed to be daily staples so the bills can get paid. But that's where so, so many people are finding themselves. Why? Because they got a degree.
The bubble is inflating as more and more colleges are jacking up tuition costs and everything is putting forward that a college degree is the be-all and end-all of success.
What will happen when it pops? Frankly, not to be a Charlie Downer, but I would be very surprised indeed if the college grads will receive some sort of a bailout. Very surprised indeed. Because we have already seen what happens when one bubble popped. Example goes a long way.
Also? I'll give another elephant in the room a spotlight. There are no jobs right now for people. You can only be an admin/secretary for so long, and even then, admin departments in companies are usually first to get cut. There are no manufacturing jobs, because they're outsourced, and what little left is being cut left and right. There are no tech jobs because they got outsourced years ago. There are no trade jobs because trade schools are very! few in number and no one ever thinks about earning a living by manual labor. There are multiple graduates with great degrees in finance, accounting, business administration, and there's so many of them that there are not enough jobs to go around. Healthcare salaries have been plummeting, and the student loan ratio there is legendary, but that's also where so many people have headed, so that market's about to be flooded too. There is no work. There is very little to look forward to after college except for paying back ginormous student loans.
And it goes without saying: I would love to not have student loans, but I didn't hit the lotto. Them's the breaks. Sucks, but them's the breaks.

Their peers have long recognized their superiority in the swimming pool. But on a recent trip to the state capitol, Rockford's 2010 Michigan Water Polo Association state championship team received recognition of a different sort. The boys were invited to Lansing to meet with Representative Peter MacGregor and his staff on the morning of March 17. The team then sat before the state legislature as the lawmakers honored the team for their accomplishment.
The 2010 team won Rockford's second consecutive state title, their seventh in eight years, and their eighth in 11 years.
Seniors Pat Fase, Victor Lima, Jeff Schmitt and Jared Martella will soon be leaving Rockford High School behind. But Coach Dave McWatters and the rest of the team look forward to the challenge of sustaining Rockford water polo's tradition of excellence in 2011 and beyond.

Melted Edam with Beef
Thanks to the Dutch presence in the Yucatán, Edam is ubiquitous at local markets. A whole aged cheese is often stuffed with ground meat and steamed, then served with two sauces: tomato-chile and creamy white. In the U.S., where cheese rinds aren't as sturdy, it's easier to shred and bake the cheese, then top it with the ground meat.
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6 to 8
- 1/4 cup pure olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Anaheim chiles, coarsely chopped
- 1 white onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 large tomato, coarsely chopped
- 1 pound ground beef
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 3/4 cup pitted green olives, chopped
- 3/4 cup golden raisins (4 ounces)
- 1/4 cup drained capers
- 2 large hard-cooked egg yolks, finely chopped
- 3/4 pound Edam cheese, shredded
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium skillet, heat the oil. Add the garlic, chiles and onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until lightly browned and softened, about 12 minutes. Add the tomato and cook for 1 minute, then push the mixture to 1 side. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until starting to brown, 4 minutes. Stir in the sauce, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until the meat is cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the olives, raisins and capers and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add the egg yolks, season with salt and pepper and keep warm.
Spread the cheese in a large, shallow baking dish. Cover with foil and bake until just melted, 10 minutes. Spoon the beef mixture on top and serve hot.

Fear is a part of life for a cabbie.
"He was aiming [a punch] for my head, but I hit the accelerator," said Brisbane writer and part-time taxi driver Andrew Stafford, who on Monday recounted an incident he had with a passenger.
"After smashing the window, he walked away like he was He-Man. I could see that he had blood from his elbow to his fingertips ... and he just walked away like nothing had happened."
Mr Stafford called police and the man was bundled off to hospital, later facing a wilful damage charge.
"I think there was a level of chemical enhancement or inebriation there," he said.
The attack - in Queen Street at 4.30pm one day - was an example of the kind of danger all cabbies faced, Mr Stafford said.
"Of course I was scared," he admitted.
"I think you need to have a little bit of fear in the job ... because if you didn't you wouldn't have a sufficient level of caution."
Taxi driver safety is under the spotlight again in the wake of two cabbies having their vehicles stolen in separate incidents in Logan and Ipswich.
A 56-year-old driver was punched in the face after picking up a fare at Redbank Plaza on Sunday afternoon.
The passenger stole the cab, and the alleged culprit was nabbed a short time later in Brisbane.
Early on Monday morning, another cabbie was bashed at Woodridge and his taxi was taken on a joyride out to Willowbank.
Police managed to stop it by throwing a stinger strip across the Cunningham Highway which deflated the cab's tyres.
The people who tend to carry out that kind of stuff tend not to be the sharpest pencils in the box
The 18-year-old Wavell Heights man behind the wheel allegedly returned a blood alcohol reading over three times the legal limit.
Benjamin Wash from the Taxi Council of Queensland said with 250,000 cab rides taken every day, the chance of drivers being robbed was small.
"An event like this can make people think this is a normal day at the office, and I certainly want to dispel that myth," he said.
"But if there's one incident it's one incident too many."
Mr Wash said every service industry suffered from an element of the public that sought to take advantage of it.
But he rejected the installation of driver cages or other similar protective measures.
"There's some evidence that where there is a barrier around the driver there is a greater incidence of fare evasion."
"They create an adversarial environment from the moment passengers step into the taxi," Stafford agreed.
In the end both said it was a community issue about individual behaviour - primarily the over-consumption of alcohol.
"We're seeing people coming into entertainment precincts already with a skinful, and that's changed the dynamic," he said.
"Drivers are one of the [people on the] frontline for that sort of thing."
"There have been nights where I've thought I never want to drink again after seeing what it does to other people," Stafford added.
He said drunk people could assume that cabbies were "sitting ducks", giving them the confidence to attack or rob a driver.
"But if you pull anything really stupid like that, you're very likely to be caught in the act on video," he said.
"The people who tend to carry out that kind of stuff tend not to be the sharpest pencils in the box."

The easiest way is to take airport shuttle. It starts just outside the airport terminal and drops you off at Cityterminal, the main bus terminal in Stockholm city. Please notice that they only accept card-payments onboard the bus, no cash. Buy tickets online, also cheaper.
From Arlanda Airport you can also choose to take the high-speed train, Arlanda Express. The train is more expensive than the bus, but it gets you into the city in 20 minutes instead of 40 minutes.
From Cityterminal you can walk, take the Underground or bus.
We have described the way from outside Centralstationen (see below) it is the building next to Cityterminal.
From Central station (train) and Cityterminal:
Follow the signs and take escalators down to the Underground. The station is T-centralen. Take the southbound green or red line one stop to Gamla Stan station. Choose the exit Gamla Stan.
Turn right and walk one block, then turn left into the street Tyska Brinken. Walk 300 meters and you will arrive at Kindstugatan 1.
Please note that Tyska Brinken will change name after 200 meters to Kindstugatan.
Walking distance is about 15 minutes. From City Terminal follow the signs to Centralstationen and turn to right onto the street Vasagatan. Walk across the bridge (Vasabron) and then straight on to the street Riddarhusgränd which changes name to Stora Nygatan. Now you are in the Old Town. When you see an intersecting street with the name Tyska Brinken turn left. Walk about 200 meters and you are at Kindstugatan 1.

Call me crazy to say this, but if any serious sales person had the opportunity to isolate 41% of the potential available market and become an industry expert to that 41%, wouldn't it be prudent to do so?

Best Of :: People & Places
If Jaime Bayly is to be believed and the Peruvian ex-presidential candidate is actually dying of a mysterious liver ailment, his nightly talk show is a helluva Irish wake. First, there are the free tickets and booze for the 30 or so audience members. More important, however, is the production itself. The hourlong mix of witty monologue, biting political commentary, and saucy interviews (all in Spanish, we should add) is spectacular in the strictest sense of the word: Past guests have ranged from a man with two penises to Bayly's pregnant 22-year-old girlfriend. If Jaime doesn't leave you laughing, fuming, or choking on your arroz con pollo, he's had an off night. Rare are the episodes where the bisexual novelist doesn't divulge a scandalous secret about the rich and famous, or delve into his own soap-opera lifestyle. No one analyzes Miami's gaudy absurdity better. Si tú hablas español, tienes que ir. If not, what the hell. Show up anyway.
The scene: A messy Harvard dorm room. A young, drunken student chugs beer at his computer.His handsome, dark-haired best friend wanders in.
"I need you," the first young man says.
"I'm here for you," his friend replies earnestly. "No, I need the algorithm you wrote to rank chess players."
"Are you OK?" the friend asks.
"We're ranking girls," the drunk at the computer answers.
And so Facebook was born — at least according to The Social Network, the Oscar-nominated film that took American theaters by storm last fall.
That drunk at the computer, of course, was Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's brash, oft-criticized founder. His handsome friend, played by heartthrob Andrew Garfield, was none other than Eduardo Saverin.
The lesser-known half of Facebook's founding duo has had a breakout year thanks to The Social Network, a film largely based on Saverin's version of the website's founding — and his acrimonious split with Zuckerberg — as told to author Ben Mezrich.
Long before Saverin was fighting Zuckerberg for Facebook's billions, he was growing up in the Magic City, the son of Brazilian immigrants from São Paulo. Before heading to Harvard, Saverin cut his teeth at Miami's Gulliver Prep.
Now everyone knows the rest of his story: founding the business end of Facebook, getting screwed out of his shares by the devious Zuckerberg, and eventually getting the last laugh by winning an estimated billion-dollar court verdict against Facebook and literally writing the book on the website's incredible inside history.
Not a bad year for a local kid.
Call it "Obamarail" all you want, you freaky-looking doppelganger to the creepy preacher from Poltergeist. The plan to build a high-speed rail system through Florida was championed by Gov. Charlie Crist, your Republican predecessor in office. And your rejection of $2.4 billion in federal funds to build the system — which would have created thousands of jobs — will bite you in your luminescent, bony ass. If there's one principle constant among state politicians of both red and blue ilk, it's this: Money from Washington is glorious. It is to be accepted with no argument. It is an oatmeal cookie from Mom. You would never tell her: "What's the calorie count in this cookie?" You would not inquire as to whether the cookie was gluten-free. You would take the fucking cookie and then figure out what to do with it. Florida has seen a lot of different kinds of morons in office, Rick Scott. But none dumb enough to turn down a giant cookie when the state is suffering from some seriously low blood sugar. That's why you were sued by Florida senators from both sides of the aisle. That's why your approval rating is doing its best impression of Emilio Bonifacio's batting average. And that, dear sir, is why you need to climb back into the fiery hole in Hades from which you emerged.
Only in Miami could a billionaire with an empire of auto dealerships be the underdog. But that's exactly what happened when 78-year-old Norman Braman took aim at Carlos Alvarez. The Miami-Dade mayor never saw it coming. How could he? Considering that — unlike most of his predecessors — he didn't break any obvious laws, Alvarez was probably already designing the statue of himself to go up in Little Havana. But when the South Florida economy tanked, each Alvarez mistake became a stone in Braman's ever-growing arsenal. With all of that ammo, Braman couldn't miss. He announced a recall campaign against the mayor and pumped more than a million bucks of his own money into the effort. When the results came in, it was a victory of biblical proportions for the billionaire: Almost 90 percent of voters decided to oust Alvarez's ass. But like any other Banana Republic coup, it left everyday citizens wondering which despot is next.
Unless you support terrifying cyborgs sent from the future to eliminate state government with just their laser eyes (cough, cough, Rick Scott) or count yourself a member of the Marco Rubio Tea Party Pretty Boy Army, the past 12 months have been a dismal time to be a South Florida voter. A terrible year, that is, with one bright, sequined, outrageously colorful-hat-wearing exception: Frederica Wilson, Miami's newest rep in the U.S. Congress, is pretty much the bomb. Wilson made a name for herself by winning unlikely battles: first as a Miami principal who closed a fume-spewing plant near her school, then as a state representative and senator taking down everything from high school dirty dancing to HIV testing for prisoners. Now in Washington, she has brought some much-needed visibility to a Democratic freshman class overshadowed by the boisterous GOP, earning a cover photo on the Washington Post Magazine, and backing controversial legislation, such as a ban on cell phones while driving. Down with the cyborgs! Up with blinged-out cowboy hats!
When big shows roll into town, there is usually only one person who can grant media access to ink-stained wretches. His name is Woody Graber. Want to cover the Bob Marley Festival? Call Graber. Want to hit up the South Beach Comedy Festival? Call Graber. Bruce Springsteen is playing at the BankAtlantic Center, and Girl Talk is headlining at the Fillmore Miami Beach? You know who to call. Same Woody you call to, ahem, interview porn stars Dylan Ryder and Phoenix Marie at Exxxotica. A cantankerous old-school publicist who doesn't show any shame in cutting off access to reporters who annoy him, Graber is the dean of the concert promotion scene. You could be the second coming of Hunter S. Thompson and he would still freeze you out.

Will An Olds 455 Engine Fit In My 69 Firebird
Hey guys,
I just bought what I thought was a pontiac 455 for my 69 Firebird but what I got was a 455 oldsmobile engine. I know I should have done my research. Anyway I got it and my question is will it fit ok? Do I have to make any unusual modifications? Any help on what to do is appreciated. Thanks
Unless you have a bell housing for the Olds pattern, that will need changing. I think that the 403 Olds engine (called a corporate engine at the time) was available in some mid to late '70s 'birds, so you should be able to get motor mounts and other parts to set it right in.
My son and I put a 455 Olds in a 72 Luv truck for his high school driver, but I've never put one into a Gen1 Firebird. Here's some info I came across, hope it will help....
The subframes on the post 69 Camaro/Firebirds are front steer like the Chevelle and GtO frames. So you may have to fabricate frame mounts for the early rear steer frame. A 455 Olds will fit. As mentioned you will need an Olds compatible trans but any BOP 350/400 turbo should fit. exhaust manifolds or headers might be tuff to find also. As the steering box gets in the way.
I have done 500 Caddys in this combination with nearly all factory parts.
"As the steering box gets in the way."
Of course it'll make it tougher to fit passenger side exhaust, but you can move the motor/trans to the passenger side slightly to get some clearance if you need to, just be careful about keeping the centerline of the crank parallel with the centerline of the car to prevent u-joint problems.
On a 302 Ford / 83 Mitsubishi truck swap i did, I moved the motor-trans to the passenger side of the truck 2 1/4" to clear the box.
The subframe of the '67-'69 Firebird is basically the same as the '73-74 Olds Omega, which, I believe, was available with an Olds 350 engine. The motor mount position on the Olds 350 is at the same place as on an Olds 455, so you may be able to use the mount system from an Omega with an Olds 350 to mount the Olds 455 in the Firebird subframe.
The '69 Firebird used a metal frame bracket with a rubber & metal mount sandwiched between it and the engine. On the Omega, a solid metal bracket was attached to the engine, and a rubber & metal "clamshell" mount went between the frame & that bracket. The bolt holes in your frame might not be in the right position, but you can drill your own if you need to.
The 455 has a taller deck than the 350, so accessory brackets from the 350 probably won't fit the 455, and you might run into some interference since the 455 is a little wider. It might be easier to just sell the Olds 455 or see if you can find someone with a Pontiac 455 that's willing to swap.
