With the Internet dominating adult content for guys, Playboy TV is looking for opportunities elsewhere. The TV channel is expected to announce tomorrow TV for 2, new adult programming slate aimed at couples, which will begin to roll out in January. The first new TV for 2 show is Brooklyn Kinda Love, a docu-reality series from producers Joe and Harry Gantz (Taxicab Confessions), which is set to premiere on January 15. It follows the intricacies of four real couples' relationships. Other new unscripted shows for the new format include Swing, featuring monogamous as they venture into alternative lifestyles guided by a sex therapist, and Playboy's Sextreme Makeover, featuring couples who receive intimacy advice from experts.

This dinosaur belongs in the Creation Museum…
I love that Taxicab show-sounds interesting
Awful idea. Just awful. That place is a joke.
Well, it can't be worse than NBC or that crappy stuff on Skinemax
They already have similar shows on HBO and Showtime.
Playboy is played out. It's in the same retro bin along with viynl records and pocket watches.
Vinyl records still rock my stripey socks. Sorry. You'll pry my Beatles, Stones, S&G and Tori Amos Vinyl from my cold dead hands.
Playboy, however, is dead, and just needs to cut an agreement with Showtime or HBO/Cinemax to provide these programs to them for "after hours"; it'd be less overhead, better revenue, and more brand name exposure.
Because somewhere a high school kid is hearing "a channel for soft core porn, that I have to pay for? Pass. Where's (infinite number of websites)
This Swing show sounds cool. Wonder when it starts. I've always wondered about alternative lifestyles.
Although so many sites exist regarding alternative adult dating, there's a site launching soon that is taking up a notch.
This sounds like a great idea to me. Reality shows meet Real Sex. Why compete with the junk online when you can make real tv shows that are also hot? Like.
Somehow, Playboy has turned into a tacky joke. Doesn't help that its execs are all weirdoes.
What's most amusing is that this Deadline article is the most visible public awareness these new shows will ever get. No awareness = no viewers. Nice try Playboy.
Public interest is dissipating, and if PlayboyTV lasts another five years, I think we'd all be shocked.
I met a few couples who are some of the cast for this Swing show. Wow, one of the couples is the hottest I've ever seen. The tall, blonde, perfectly large breasted, sexy, thin, hot female is as close to perfect as a woman could be. To top it off, she's sincere, real and nice. The guy….he has the greatest body I've seen for a reality tv show (for any tv show). He's got dark hair, looks Italian, drop-dead handsome face, 8-pack abs, huge shoulders, pecs that have nipples you want to suck and arms…oh my God his arms. To top it off, he too is genuine, sincere and down-to-earth. I met them at a party (Thank you "Lust")…wish I could remember their names because they left a lasting impression on me and many others. .
Well, I definitely won't be watching with those lesbian homos on it, but if they had a series like this with real relationships then I think it would pull my interest in.
The couples are a joke. Met them at a party and its unreal how dumb a forty year old can be. Playboy TV is obviously desperate signing some balding old man and an Olive Oil look alike with big boobs…no joke…its LA! Couldnt they atleast get a hot blonde? Its just gonna be bad tv. Hell, I wouldnt swing with either one of them.

The "modern western" diet (MWD) has increased the onset and progression of chronic human diseases as qualitatively and quantitatively maladaptive dietary components give rise to obesity and destructive gene-diet interactions. There has been a three-fold increase in dietary levels of the omega-6 (
Perhaps at no time in human history has the human diet changed so dramatically and rapidly than in the past 75 years in developed countries. It is estimated that foods supplying 72% of the dietary calories consumed presently in western diets would not have been found in hunter-gatherer diets [
As challenging as obesity and gene-diet interactions have been for overall populations of developed countries such as the US, they manifest themselves in a particularly negative way for certain populations and ethnic groups [
For the purposes of this review, we will discuss the metabolism, genetics and biology of the most abundant
LCPUFA Biosynthetic Pathways. LCPUFA are derived from C18PUFAs (LA and ALA obtained from the mammalian diet) by alternate desaturation (red/orange enzymes) and elongation (blue enzymes) steps. These enzymes utilize both
Following the 1961 American Heart Association Central Committee Advisory Statement to replace saturated fat with PUFAs in the diet, food production companies began replacing the saturated fatty acids in processed foods with unsaturated fatty acid oils, especially soybean oil [
Recently, there has been intense debate in the scientific community over the impact of the recommendation to replace saturated fatty acids with
On the other side of the argument, Ramsden and colleagues recently re-examined studies utilized to support this recommendation and found that many of the oils used in the aforementioned clinical trials were mixtures of
It also has been recognized for more than a half a century that LA can be converted in humans to arachidonic acid (ARA) and this ARA can then be metabolized via cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways into eicosanoids such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes. In general, eicosanoids have been shown to act as local hormones to promote acute and chronic inflammation in numerous human diseases including cardiovascular disease (encompassing atherosclerosis leading to heart disease and stroke) asthma, and arthritis [
However, some metabolites of ARA are clearly not pro-inflammatory including the epoxyeicosanoids, while epoxyeicosanoid metabolites are deleterious. The pleiotropic properties of arachidonate metabolites as well as the inflammation resolving properties of certain metabolites of EPA and DHA make it difficult to completely understand the role of PUFA metabolites in inflammation [
Another critical, but much less discussed factor, in this debate is the potential interaction between ancestral genetic background and dietary PUFA environments, especially with regard to ARA synthesis and eicosanoid production. The scientific inquiry to date almost exclusively has examined the impact of dietary PUFAs found in the MWD in European or European American populations. However, recent studies discussed in detail below suggest that certain racial and ethnic groups (and especially those of African ancestry) have much higher frequencies of genetic variants in key genes that enhance their capacity to synthesize ARA and potentially eicosanoids. Many of these are the same variants that have been associated with CVD biomarkers and disease endpoints. Consequently, diet-gene interactions are likely to have a significant impact with regard to whether dramatically increasing dietary
As mentioned above, the primary
In addition to these biosynthetic pathways, LCPUFAs can also be obtained directly from the diet. Dietary ARA is sourced primarily from organ meats, eggs, poultry, and certain fish, whereas dietary EPA and DHA are found primarily in seafood [
Given the shared enzymatic steps involved in the processing of LA and ALA, it is generally accepted that these
EPA is eventually converted to DHA utilizing two elongation steps (both carried out by an enzyme encoded by the fatty acid elongase 2 gene
Since LA and ALA share the same enzymes in the early steps of LCPUFA biosynthesis, the dramatic increase of LA and resulting
It has also been argued that in the face of such high concentrations of LA, the PUFA biosynthesis pathway from LA to ARA is saturated, limiting the amounts of ARA that can be made. This concept has been used to suggest that high dietary LA levels do not impact circulating or tissue levels of ARA [
Once LCPUFAs are synthesized or obtained from the diet, they are transported to cells and tissues in circulation as free fatty acids bound to albumin or esterified to complex lipids such as phospholipids, cholesterol esters, and triglycerides in lipoprotein particles [
After LCPUFAs are incorporated and remodeled into cellular phospholipids, they can then be liberated from membrane phospholipids (typically after immunologic activation) as free fatty acids by a family of PLA2, diacylglyceride and monoacylglyceride lipases [
LCPUFA Cellular Metabolism. The incorporation of LCPUFAs into phospholipids and their release occur by a complex network of enzymatic activities and related genes. Free fatty acids are activated by conjugation with Coenzyme A (CoA) by gene products derived from up to five genes before incorporation into and remodelling through various phospholipids by enzymes differing in both LCPUFA and phospholipid acceptor specificities. Upon cell activation, phospholipases (A2, C and D) cleave esterified fatty acids from membrane phospholipids. Certain LCPUFAs (such as ARA) can then act as substrates for the eicosanoid-generating enzymes COX1/2, ALOX and P450.
As outline above, ARA and its metabolic products play important roles in orchestrating immunity and inflammation [
DHA is the most abundant fatty acid in the brain and retina, constituting a remarkable 50% of the weight of the neuron's plasma membrane. A large body of scientific literature indicates that LCPUFAs are not only structurally important, but they are essential for proper brain function and development. DHA plays a critical role in neurogenesis and neural plasticity. Thus, adequate dietary DHA levels are essential for visual, neural and cognitive development in the developing fetus and young infants and perhaps recovery from neurological deficits [
DHA also has been shown to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. For example, DHA itself is known to directly inhibit NF-κB activation [
Three members of the fatty acid desaturase (
A central concept of these types of studies is that variation in DNA on its own does not lead to disease but, instead, alters molecular traits that go on to affect disease risk. By layering in molecular and intermediate phenotypes, causal relationships between genes and disease can be more directly established (reviewed in [

An important limitation of the field as it currently exists is that little is known about how (the molecular mechanism by which) these SNPs or other genetic variation impact PUFA levels. While numerous studies use terms such as desaturase activities or efficiencies, these are not true activities (as would be measured with an isolated enzyme or subcellular fraction), but are typically ascertained by measuring PUFA precursor/product ratios within circulating or cellular lipids. Certainly, SNPs and other genetic variation in the
While much of the discussion above has focused on the impact of genetic variation on LCPUFA biosynthesis, other mechanisms may play a key role in determining PUFA levels and biology. It is has long been recognized that dietary LCPUFAs impact the synthesis and metabolism of other LCPUFAs; for example, numerous studies show that

As mentioned in the Introduction, African Americans have higher rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke, and CVD and certain types of cancer than Caucasians. Not only is the incidence of these diseases elevated among African Americans, but the diseases themselves are more severe in African Americans than in Caucasians [
With regard to the first, the studies described above calls into question one of the generally accepted tenants of the PUFA field, that the ARA synthesis pathway saturates itself (presumably at the desaturation steps) in all humans at relatively similar and relatively low levels (2%–3% energy) of dietary LA. Thus, it is presumed that higher levels of dietary LA (in the MWD) have no impact on circulating or tissue levels of ARA. A recent review by Johnson and Fritsche concluded that there was little evidence that addition of LA to the diet increases the concentration of inflammatory markers in healthy humans [
Unfortunately, there have not been studies investigating the impact of dietary LA on ARA levels and whether this is related to disease biomarkers (including eicosanoids) and endpoints of African ancestry populations. To more fully address the issue of dietary LA and its capacity to saturate the desaturation/elongation pathway, similar metabolic studies to those described above are desperately needed in other (than European ancestry) populations. Such studies would shed light on whether higher proportions (than 3% energy) of dietary LA are converted to ARA in populations that have high frequencies of genetic variants in the

Do You Snoop on Your Kids? [POLL]
Was talking with Suzy Cerone of Parkway First Traffic today about her daughter being away at sleep-away camp this summer, and we got into a discussion about her snooping through her things while she is away.
When I asked Suzy if she looks through her daughter's bedroom, Suzy's exact words were "Hell, oh I mean Heck Yeah!"
Take the Poll below, and let us know. Do you snoop when the kids aren't home?

Udge [uj]
1. (verb) a movement that maintains slightly more technique than a thrutch, but employed in similar situations – in wide cracks, chimneys, grooves, recesses, niches, gaps, slots... you get the picture... ideally resulting in upward progress and often accompanied by groaning and wiggling. He udged up the route with uncharacteristic delight.
2. (noun) the act of udging
3. (adjective) a style of climbing employing udging
A dozen climbers queue up along a cleft inside Higgar Tor, several metres into the cliff behind the routes on which climbers are normally found. Six of them wait in a chain along the bottom facing towards the gloomiest corner, while those ahead have looped up and back over the heads of those below, and the first in have begun to squeeze through the gaps above and are about to pop out back into daylight. There's a jovial atmosphere, with much giggling (some nervous), and experimentation in three dimensional positions and contortions. For once the aim isn't about numbers or onsights, but about a certain style of climbing - the udge - and a celebration of its existence.
I have to admit to being vaguely in charge of this rabble, and responsible for them being there in the first place. I've organised several UKC meets and 'picnics' before, but those ones followed a more standard formula - set the date and venue, bump the thread, turn up, climb. After a few of those though I was strangely dissatisfied, and the UKC picnic production line is currently chugging along smoothly anyway, so I'm surplus to requirements. However a niggling feeling kept telling me there was a demand for something a bit different, something with a theme. Something new and exciting. Or... ! Maybe old and exciting. Yes... old and traditional. Gradually it dawned on me that I keep happening across more people who share my love of the traditional udge and like nothing better than thrutching their way up offwidths and chimneys, and slotting themselves through gaps. What about if I invited them all out to udge all day, and then made an open invitation for any and all to join us in the celebration?
And so the 'Celebration of the Udge' was formed, and Saturday 28th April found five acknowledged udge enthusiasts and eight wannabe udge enthusiasts on a tour of the udge opportunities in the Burbage Valley. All climbers were armed with a secret treasure map of routes with cracks no narrower than a fist and preferably large enough to fit body parts in (ok ok, a pre-compiled list, not a treasure map). The list formed the basis of a small competition - The more routes you udge up, the more points you get, gaining bonuses for amusing or expert ascents. Everyone was asked to chip in 50p and the winner gets the pot. We hit Burbage North first at 9am ticking off a handful of routes to get into the swing of things, one being appropriately named as 'Thrall's Thrutch'. We then moved on to Higgar Tor for five or so more, stopping round the back to witness an inspired headfirst descent by one of our party, then started the Troglodyte's Tour (from the new BMC 'Burbage, Millstone and Beyond' guide) after lunch which begins by delving inside Higgar and brings us back to the present, where we are laying seige to the first gaps.
We follow the Tour eastwards to a prominent tor where one participant entertains the crowd by apparently seconding a route bottom first, with head buried into a crevice, then in an attempt to right the mistake manages to swivel through 360 degrees (at one point facing outwards), risking decapitation by the rope. We then head further on to Carl Walk to post ourselves through the bottom of Lime Juice Chimney, by which time it's well into evening, we are pretty shattered and everyone seems to be missing some skin. Despite this we decide we are dedicated to the cause and opt to push on for one more section of the tour. We walk up to Burbage South, dump our bags, and once again disappear into the cliff for an hour, the various sized clefts appealing to our inquisitive nature, causing aches and fatigue to be forgotten. All that emerges from the crag is an assortment of grunts, wails and celebratory shouts, the boulderers below must have been quite baffled! We judge the results of the competition before leaving the crag and the pot is split between two worthy winners – Victim of Mathematics and DougS.
After that the only task left is to head to the Millstone pub for a debrief, a pint, and some speciality sausages. Oh, and to compare unusual bruise patterns. Everybody's buzzing, which luckily dims the complementary buzz of abraded skin. I'm feeling on top of the world – not only because I had a great day, but because everybody else seemed to too. When I had my vision for the meet, I had no idea if it would work, but thanks to all attendees embracing the concept and getting thoroughly immersed (literally) in the experience, it worked out better than I could have hoped.

US Treasury Secretary
The ratings agency warned that buoyant financial markets might have jumped the gun, saying it could take several years for the US and Europe to overcome "fragile" growth and "stubborn" macro-economic challenges, despite massive central bank stimulus.
"Failure to reach agreement on raising the debt ceiling in a timely manner would undermine confidence in the United States as a reliable borrower and prompt a review of its AAA rating," Fitch's UK-based sovereign credit team wrote.
They defined "timely" as "well in advance and not just a single day before the funding capacity of the federal government is exhausted as happened in August 2011", increasing the pressure on President
Fitch also dismissed Republican claims that Treasury could prioritise debt payments over obligations to employees, contractors and taxpayers to avoid a debt default if it hit the debt ceiling. It said this was likely to result in a downgrade, even if formal debt default was avoided.
Rival ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded the US government's AAA credit rating after the August 2011 emergency, citing Washington's inability to agree on fiscal policy even in the face of possible default.
Mr Geithner said in a letter to congressional leaders that the raid on the federal pension fund would free up $US156 billion in borrowing headroom while Congress debated raising the $US16.4 trillion debt ceiling.
The money would be repaid when the debt ceiling was raised and the move did not put government employees' pensions at risk, said the Treasury Secretary, who is leaving office soon.
The US government expects to run out of money between mid-February and early March if Congress does not raise the debt ceiling and is taking a series of "extraordinary measures" to keep the day at bay.
The US is one of three triple-A rated sovereigns that Fitch has on negative outlook, along with France and Britain. Seven of the world's 10 largest economies are on negative outlook. Fitch contrasted the positive start to the year in financial markets with the fragile economic growth that it believed would prevail in the US and Europe, notwithstanding massive stimulus by central banks.
The ratings agency said the stubborn macro-economic challenges facing these economies could only be resolved over several years, and against an unusually challenging backdrop.
Europe is making progress in dealing with its sovereign debt crisis but has fallen back into recession, and US growth is not expected to gain traction until the second half of the year, even if the debt ceiling is raised in a timely way.
Fitch said the US had only averted the fiscal cliff by deferring tough decisions on $US1.2 trillion of across-the-board spending cuts under the so-called sequester.
These cuts will now have to be resolved concurrently with the debt ceiling and the expiry of budget funding authority on March 27, complicating debt ceiling negotiations at a time of deteriorating relations between President Obama and congressional Republicans.
Meanwhile, Mr Obama is set to thrust gun control and immigration onto the legislative agenda. On Monday, he declared he would not negotiate over the debt ceiling, and challenged Republicans to authorise the funding for the debts it had commanded the government to incur.
US stocks are up 9 per cent from their post-election lows and 3 per cent since New Year's Day, reflecting relief that the American economy only briefly went over the fiscal cliff.

SV Werder Bremen have completed the signing of Argentinian international striker Franco Di Santo on a free transfer.
Franco Di Santo had been out of contract following his release from Wigan Athletic who were relegated from the English Premier League last season.
General manager Thomas Eichin confirmed the deal on Wednesday, saying the team was looking for a striker:
"We had been in the hunt for a robust striker with experience in a big league. We are very confident that we have found a good solution in Franco Di Santo. He is experienced but still possesses enough potential for development in order to make a great leap forwards. He wants to make it to the 2014 World Cup with Argentina and we would be very happy if he gained the necessary attention playing in Bremen, for him to achieve that goal."
The striker has signed a three-year deal with the Green-Whites after passing his medical at a Bremen clinic on Tuesday. He is expected to be presented at a press conference on Thursday.
Franco Di Santo signed for English Premier League side Chelsea in 2008 as a 19-year old. He was an unused substitute during the Blues' FA Cup victory in 2009.
Di Santo has spent a year on loan at Blackburn Rovers and moved to Wigan Athletic in 2010 where he was again an unused substitute during the Latics' 2013 FA Cup final success.
In all, he scored 14 goals in 122 Premier League appearances.
Franco Di Santo has 3 caps for the Argentina national team but has not scored at senior level.

Celebrity Bonehead Of The Day
Actor and reality TV star Gary Busey visits Middle Earth in his dreams.

He recently explained, "I talk to people about the history of the hobbit... I talk about how the hobbit lives and what they do and their social infrastructure.

"
Busey said, "I know this because I've had dreams and I've gone there by body projection. I time travel in my dreams. Anybody can do that when they learn how to relax and invite loving spirits every night to come into their dreams."
"They take me in my dreams to where I need to be to see what my purpose in life is and by understanding all that I can."
He added, "Dreams are a great place to discover that... They have songs they sing that you can't understand but you can dance to them and pretty soon you're singing the words... and you are becoming a hobbit. And when you become a hobbit on earth you'll be able to do everything you want to do."
Some Suprising Secrets About Sleep
New studies show that a good night's sleep is vital for memory, learning and brain function.
Studies have shown that REM sleep is also necessary for forming "muscle memory" that lets us button our shirts, ride a bike or drive a car.
A recent study also found that foods with vitamin B6 (like Marmite) are more likely to give you vivid dreams than blue cheese. (The vitamin converts amino acids into the brain chemical, serotonin, which may be involved in dreams.)
B6 can be found in such foods as avocados, Marmite, broad beans, bananas, molasses, salmon and herring.
A lack of sleep can make you hungry, because the "fullness" hormone called "leptin" may be up to a third lower than healthy sleepers if you don't get enough rest.
Would You Have A Pet Deer?
Officials in Michigan decided that they will let a family keep their domesticated deer named Lilly.
The family made an agreement with the Michigan Department of Resources that will let Lilly stay. Lilly had already spent the past five years with the family after her mother was killed by a car.
The Department Of Resources had ordered the family to give her up because of a state law that makes it illegal to keep deer as pets. But after some consideration, they changed their minds because it is the "best possible outcome for Lilly's continued health and survival."
For The Person Who Has Everything?
Pieces of clothing once owned by Monica Lewinsky -- including a black negligee and several hand-signed letters by President Clinton-- are up for auction.
An auction house is currently selling the lot of 32 items online and the bidding will end later this week.
Each item was originally given to Lewinsky by her former high school teacher with whom she had a five-year affair . It became evidence in the Kenneth Starr investigation to impeach President Clinton.

The Short-Coming Of J.A.I.L
(By Manny Machado, Jr)
----- Original Message -----
Manny Machado, Jr
Tuesday, March 23, 2004 1:59 PM
May Need Another Approach
I have viewed your sites (Florida and California) and find the intent
being admirable and truly necessary. However, your goal... even if
successful, will come to a shocking revelation. The U.S. Congress in 1996 amended the Civil Rights Acts (42 USC Sec. 1983 and 42 USC Sec. 1988) to extend immunity to judicial officials. There are some minimal exceptions that essentially mean total immunity for judicial officials.
With these laws in place, your enactment of a state constitutional
amendment would be voided under the Supremacy Clause of the U.S.
Constitution as long as the accused were acting in their judicial
capacity. I have attached an article or informational writing which shows the extent of judicial misconduct in Connecticut. However... I have found
like actions in a great number of other, states given the same subject
It is my belief that your tact should include a move, by petition, to
rescind the existing federal laws protecting judicial officials. This
would give judicial validity to your current course of action, but beware,
it will be an uphill battle. One that should perhaps contain a class
action suit to address the validity of the federal amendments. Does
Congress have the authority under the Constitution to place any citizen
above the law???
I would appreciate your comments.
Ron Branson's Response:
Dear Manny: Thank you for your input re the J.A.I.L. plan of action. As you know, according to the U.S. Constitution, state's rights are superior to that of federal mandates. (See the 10th Amendment). Further, amendments by Congress to Title 42, Sec. 1983 cannot grant strength to an act that ultimately violates the rights guaranteed to all citizens by the Constitution. For instance, how can Congress constitutionally place redress of grievance against judges out of the reach of the people when they are guaranteed that right by the First Amendment of the Constitution, to wit, the right to "petition the government for a redress of grievances?" Are we to conclude that the federal judiciary is therefore not one of the Branches of government? "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution ... are reserved to the ... people." Can anyone establish from the Constitution that the people delegated to the United States the powers to make any part of itself immune from the people? I'm from Missouri. Show me! I have just reread Article III of the U.S. Constitution, and I find nothing that hints of the authority of Congress to grant to federal judges judicial immunity. Where's even the hint of such a thing? Even common sense tells you that judges, state or federal, cannot be beyond the reach of the people by judicial immunity. If Congress passed a law saying the U.S. Constitution is hereby suspended, would the Constitution thereby be suspended? Authority, please! Redress is more than a right protected by the U.S. Constitution, but an inalienable right granted by God. Can Congress, or the Federal Courts, suspend God out of the question? Can they suspend gravity while they are at it? Command the sun that it shine not? or the waves of the sea to be calm? -Ron Branson

About a year ago, two design students named Alex Cabunoc and Ji A You traveled from their homes in Los Angeles to Cerro Verde, a 30,000 person slum outside of Lima. As students in the celebrated Design Matters program at Art Center College of Design, which focuses on social innovation, they had come to Cerro Verde as part of a special studio called Safe Agua Peru. Their goal? Develop a commercial product that alleviates issues related to water poverty, targeted at people who earn between $4 and $10 a day.
The students spent two weeks in Cerro Verde, working closely with inhabitants to prototype "co-created" products at a break-neck speed. Since returning, nearly half of the students have won International Design Excellence Awards, and a student-made documentary about the trip called Hands in the Mist has been shortlisted for a Young Directors Award at Cannes. Cabunoc and You's design--a manually powered washer and dryer that costs less than $40 called GiraDora--has drawn special attention.

Granger Smith Talks About His First #1 Single, Explains Earl Dibbles, Jr. + Performs Live in Exclusive Interview
Granger Smith has plenty reason to celebrate these days. Fresh off his first Texas chart-topper for 'Silverado Bench Seat', Granger and his alter-ego Earl Dibbles, Jr. have a busy Fall 2013 in store, including show dates in previously uncharted territory for Smith. The singer/songwriter stopped by the KEAN studio to talk about all of that, let us know how his Dibbles character came about, and give us a live acoustic performance, too.
The first part of my conversation with Granger Smith, we talked about his first ever #1 single, 'Silverado Bench Seat'. Smith says "My radio promoter, Angela, told me that a lot of the response from radio was 'Wait, this is only his first?'…the most important thing for me is for fans and friends to hear it on the radio…if people are enjoying it on the radio, that's all it's about.". Take a listen:
Granger Smith Interview – Part 1
The second part of the interview included an in-studio acoustic performance of Granger's 'Gypsy Rain'. Smith also explains how his alter-ego came to be. "Earl Dibbles, Jr. started out as a joke…There's a lot of different characters I've created. Earl was just another one. But this one really took off. I think everyone knows an Earl, I have several in my family…it just took off, it went viral…I had to write a song for him. We called it 'The Country Boy Song'…and at some point we realized this has to be a part of our live show.".
Granger Smith Interview – Part 2
In the final part of my conversation with Granger, he explained why he decided to move back to Texas from Nashville, where he had a songwriting deal. "I really wanted to write songs and play the songs I was writing. And Texas was the perfect platform to do that, and be close to the family, and finish school…I'm never going to move out of Texas again."
Granger Smith Interview – Part 3
Granger is a great dude. Keep track of his tour schedule from his official website, and be sure to "Like" Both Granger Smith and Earl Dibbles, Jr. on Facebook, and you can also follow Smith and Dibbles, Jr. on Twitter.

Miley Cyrus is Engaged. For Real This Time.
There's an old saying that's served me well over the years, "A couple that eats penis cake together, stays together." Which is why with a proud heart and this here jug of moonshine, I formally present to you the engagement of Destiny Hope Cyrus, or "Miley" to kinfolk and the like, and Thor's brother from whatever that country with all them boomerangs Crocodile Dundee is from. France, I reckon. People reports:
I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Cyrus, 19, tells PEOPLE.
Australian actor Hemsworth, 22, who met Cyrus when they costarred in The Last Song in 2009, proposed on May 31 with a 3.5-carat diamond ring from jeweler Neil Lane.
Hillbilly accents aside, what I love most about this story is the positive message that it sends Hannah Montana fans. Namely that if you get super-sick thin and wear a bunch of slutty outfits, you'll eventually trick your boyfriend into making an exaggerated gesture to convince you he's not going to leave you which ultimately won't work because you're a woman but at least you can make all your friends jealous. That or she's pregnant. Either way take notes, youngins.

Australia is missing an "enormous" opportunity if it does not encourage more investment in renewable energy, the chairman of
"Australia is sending mixed signals and capital in this industry is very sensitive to mixed signals," said José Manuel Entrecanales, Acciona's chairman and chief executive, in an interview with The Australian Financial Review.
"I would be a much heavier investor if there was a clear picture."
The Abbott government is reviewing Australia's Renewable Energy Target, and considering reducing output to 26,000 gigawatt hours from 41,000 gigawatt hours by 2020.
Australia was in danger of being left behind other countries if it did not invest more heavily in developing renewable technology, Mr Entrecanales said. "If you do not get into the race you are probably going to be late in developing an industry of your own in the future," he said, adding he was concerned the energy debate in Australia was being hijacked by political interests and that not enough attention was being paid to the "technical" benefits of renewable energy.
Australia's strong winds, large land mass and copious sunshine gave it "enormous opportunity" to take advantage of renewable energy as technology improved and costs fell, Mr Entrecanales said. "Why should Australians reject a big amount of capital that is going to come happily to give the country a position in an industry that is going to be an industry of the future?"
Acciona, which is controlled by the Entrecanales family and has a market capitalisation of €3.5 billion ($5 billion), has invested some $650 million in Australian energy and infrastructure projects since 2002.
Global agreement
A global agreement on emissions reductions could be reached in the next few months, and if China and the US struck a deal, other countries would need to fall into line, Mr Entrecanales said. "If that happens, the concept that countries like Australia are better off burning coal is going to become debatable because there is going to be a cost assigned to the burning of fossil fuels.
"Preparing for that would be something that would be very prudent by any government, and I think that it's a lot closer than people think."
United Nations negotiations are under way to draw up a new global climate agreement covering all countries to achieve greater cuts in global emissions. The new framework is due to be finalised by 2015 and implemented from 2020.
The Australian government's vision for infrastructure was much clearer than on renewable energy, Mr Entrecanales said, adding that its decision to encourage states to recycle capital from privatised assets into new infrastructure was "very intelligent."
"It's a fantastic idea."
Mr Entrecanales, who is in Australia for the B20 summit and will be meeting with Communications Minister
Australia, with Mexico and Canada, is one of Acciona's key investment targets and the Spanish group hopes to use Australia as a base to expand into Asia.
Its current investments include wind farms, solar projects, the Adelaide desalination plant and Brisbane's Legacy Way road tunnel. It is competing for tenders to build new roads such as Melbourne's East West Link and Sydney's WestConnex motorways.
Unlike Spanish construction group ACS, which owns Leighton Holdings, Acciona does not plan to make a big acquisition of a local company such as John Holland. Acquisitions were "risky" Mr Entrecanales said, adding Acciona wanted to build its own brand.

Theatre in the classroom
|My profession consists of telling stories to others… If there were no human beings near me, I would tell them to bits of wood, shreds of fabric, paper cuttings, tin or with anything that was in the world. If there was nothing, I would tell them out loud.
|Giorgio Strehler (Un Theatre pour la vie)
Theme channels aspiring to be an open communication channel in which reflection, exchanging glances and experiences invites you to critically approach an aspect, a subject, an important topic within stage reality. A space that comes into being with the prospect of permanence, but also of change: it is seen as a mosaic of theme landscapes that are modelled over time.
Interviews, documents, reports, experiences, information…, will be the facets of each of these stage topics: at the moment, Miradas offers different materials to reflect on; Galería enables you to revise documents in order to better assess the situation and context; Aula abierta includes and offers useful proposals to sow the seed for the future of our stage.

The Pastors . . . Dorrian and Carmetha Whigham are the Senior Pastors of the Followers of Christ International Outreach. In May 2006, they accepted the calling and instructions of God to take this ministry to the next dimension in God's Kingdom work. Learn more about Pastor Dorrian Whigham and Pastor Carmetha Whigham.
The History . . . The Followers of Christ was founded in 1986 by the late Evangelist Bertha Lee. God's vision at that time was to start a church on wheels. The ministry held regular church services in senior nursing homes and youth group homes. From 1986 – 1990 the ministry was serving over eight senior nursing homes and one youth group home. The ministry also taught future leaders of the church, and offered training seminars and teachings on ministry work. Over eight people were licensed as Ministers or Missionaries under the ministry. However, each year, the people came together to present The Annual Thanksgiving Turkey Give-a-way. This outreach has increased from serving 50 families to receiving over 1000 requests each year.
In 1996, the Lord commissioned, then, Evangelist Doreen Momans to revive the ministry for Kingdom work. After months of filings and reinstating the ministry to city and state regulations, the ministry was now ready to operate for the Glory of God. As Evangelist Momans sought the Lord for His plan and mission for the ministry, God began to reveal the vision.
The Vision . . . The Followers of Christ International Outreach is to be a light for the community so that those who are lost can find their way. Our first priority is to minister
the Good News to a dying and lost world, and to disciple them so that they themselves can go out and share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. God called the Followers of Christ Int. Outreach to an Apostolic Anointing of "Change." God have called this church to the Ministry of Change. Change in ones lifestyle, change in ones way of thinking, change to life of holiness. Our new ministry called "Fresh Start Faith Outreach" is designed to help homeless, low income and Christian inmates to have a place to stay for no more than two years, so that they could learn how to become self-sufficient and a productive person in society. This is still being birth.
Our Mission . . . To equip Christians for the work of the ministry, in the unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God. Increasing the Kingdom of God.
Our Commitment . . . The Followers of Christ International Outreach are committed to:
Preaching The Good News
The life of Holiness
Living a life of Love
Praise and Worship
Living by the Holy Spirit
Obedience to God's word
Motto . . . Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow me. Mark 8:34
Church Statement of Faith

Does violence in movies have a bad effect on viewers?
The Hollywood actor Jim Carey is staring in the superhero film sequel, Kickass 2, which is set to be one of this summer's blockbusters.
However, Mr Carey has said that he can't back Kickass 2 anymore because it's "simply too violent". He says that he has withdrawn his support following the Sandy Hook massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, where 20 children were killed by a gunman last December.
The film's writer has said that he is "baffled" by the decision, and has urged Carey to reconsider.
But how fair is it to link film storylines with horrific events that have taken place in real life? Film maker and writer Adam Hamdy, and film critic Jason Solomons spoke with BBC Breakfast's Charlie Stayt and Susanna Reid about the issue of violence in films.

Regional Reviews: San Francisco
Victor Lodato's 3F, 4F
Also see Richard's reviews of The Mambo Kings and the Baby
The drama purports to be a study of repressed desires and buried secrets on the part of four inhabitants in apartments 3F and 4F in an Eastern city in the United States. The lower flat is occupied by 60ish Alfred (Edward Sarafian) and 60ish Myrna (Wanda McCaddon) who have been married for thirty two years. Alfred is a stiff-upper-lip English ex-military man one would see in those J. Arthur Rank films of the '40s and '50s. Myrna also has a slight English accent and a Maggie Smith quality about her. The couple has lived in the apartment thirty-two years and still maintain their essential "English-ness". Everything is neatly in place in the immaculate apartment. The opening scenes are pure Edward Albee with crisp conversations about mundane things going on in the building. However, both have subdued wishes and hidden secrets.
Two "acid head" young men move into the flat above the elderly couple. They love loud heavy-metal music and seem to have an unlimited supply of drugs. Murph (Daniel Talbott) is having problems with anger management and his sexuality. Kurt (Ian Scott McGregor) is a confused young druggie who is very naïve about his love life. The apartment is a mess with furniture that looks like it came from Goodwill Industries. There are posters of drug culture artists on the walls. Kurt is falling for what sounds like an elaborate con game by Khula (Cassie Beck) where he will be transported to a "Land of Love" (all you need is $5000 to be admitted).
3F, 4F's scenes smoothly bounce back and forth on the amazing two level set. 4F is directly above 3F with exactly the same floor plan although the furnishings and decorations are extremely different. These worlds collide in a shocking first act ending. The second act contains wonderfully written confrontations among all four characters on the playwright's main theme of love. Khula addresses the audience on "Live for Love," which seems to be completely out of place. The playwright apparently believes the audience is not getting the message that this play is all about love.
3F, 4F director Pam MacKinnon has assembled five amazing actors for this two hour play, with one intermission. Edward Sarafian is astonishing. His English accent gives a brittle substance to his speech as he tries to remember the past. It's a striking performance. Wanda McCaddon is a perfect foil as Myrna with her sarcastic and very hilarious zingers.
Daniel Talbott as the confused and anger-driven Murph is a living dynamo, especially in his second act confrontation with his buddy Kurt, played with a wonderful immature quality by Ian Scott McGregor. Rounding out the cast is Cassie Beck, who plays a mysterious sexy young woman who lives across the street and loves to show her breasts to Myrna. Her character has not been developed by the playwright and she seems out of place in this drama. Although she performs the diatribe on love well, it still seems out of place.
3F, 4F will be playing in repertoire with The Rules of Charity and The Black Eyed through June 19 at the Magic Theatre, Building D, Fort Mason Center, San Francisco. For tickets call 415-441-8822 or visit www.magictheatre.org.

On the traffic graph it also depends if there is only one user or
multiple users and what application someone uses. Like for instance if
someone goes to a website like espn there is a spike for a half second
while the pictures on the page are downloaded to the user's web browser.
Then the traffic graph levels off as the user stops to actually read
the page. When the user clicks another link there is another spike as
the new page loads. An application like a p2p or ftp will be more
steady on the traffic graph (like your upload stuck at around 1.23mb).
If one of those type applications have download/upload speeds looking
sporadic you may have an issue, but otherwise it's normal.
Just an idea I thought I'd throw out there.
>>> "Michael" <zlinda1002 at cox dot net> 12/12/2006 11:04 PM >>>
What would cause my download in 120 seconds to go from 227KB/s to
then back down? The graph in m0n0wall has 20 of those peaks in a 120
frame. This happens with traffic shaper on or off. I have a cox.net
connection. My upload rate is 1.23Mbps, but the download is more jagged
the mountains here in Arizona! Ack is prioritized in upload queue 3
with a
weight of 15, highest upload priority is 50. I never had this problem
DSL, but I never had a 4mb+ connection either, only 1.5mbps.
