Eddie Vedder did something he hadn't done in his twenty-year career Wednesday night and it had nothing to do with his diverse variation of setlists or wide range of guests he has played with in the past. Up until this point, neither Eddie nor Pearl Jam had ever played a show in Long Beach. With a vast demographic of Pearl Jam faithful getting out of work early and making the trek from all over southern California, The Terrace Theater hosted something far different than the symphony crowd it's used to. Even though the capacity crowd was capped at 3,000 people, bar lines backed up as the Pearl Jam faithful scrambled for a buzz to ease their nerves following Glen Hansard's opening act. The loyal Ten Club fan base had no idea what to expect and where Eddie was going to go with the show, and a mixture of excitement and nervous anticipation was collectively felt from the orchestra to the balcony.
Hansard was an unexpected treat to those unaware of his talents, and his cover of Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" drew whistles and cheers that echoed and resonated for minutes. After his encore, the patience of everyone seemed to collectively dissipate as intermission dragged on. Then the curtain rose and Eddie emerged solo, like a grizzled veteran singing songs around a campfire. No one can replicate the feeling you get when Eddie takes the stage. It makes your skin sizzle.
Like Eddie frequently does, he opened by playing the meat of his new album, Ukulele Songs (which we called a "long-awaited moonlit gem"). After opening with "Can't Keep," he transitioned into "Sleeping by Myself". You can smell heartbreak in the air, and anyone who has heard Ukulele Songs and pays attention to the lyrics of one of the greatest songwriters of our generation knows his latest album screams of love lost and times of emotional turmoil. Eddie attests to this in between songs and then proceeds to thank the audience for attending his first ever show in Long Beach. In recent years it seems he's stopped his political preaching, and he plays an intimate show based on emotion and feeds off the energy and awe of the die-hard crowd.
Eddie starts to play "Goodbye," another somber melody off of Ukulele Songs but he forgets the chords. Instead of regrouping like he normally does, he admits failure, laughs it off, and moves on to the next song. The crowd giggles with forgiveness and everyone anticipates hearing at least a few of their Pearl Jam favorites. Eddie sits on stage surrounded by instruments and there is nothing but pure beauty and admiration as he plays his heart out. His voice grows better with age, and years of smoking cigarettes and drinking seem to only add to the soul and tone of a legend.
Eddie picks up a Stratocaster and begins playing "Brain Damage," a cover by Pink Floyd. The crowd shows its appreciation and remarks from people carry in between silent moments as Eddie reacts and speaks to his followers. Finally he cracks into the Pearl Jam catalogue and plays "Sometimes," a slow and deep PJ classic that suits this set perfectly. He slows it down even further by playing "I Am Mine" and "Thumbing My Way," both off of Riot Act and although the Pearl Jam song choices aren't the best it's impossible to sit through this set without getting the chills.
Next up is "Unthought Known," and he screams at the end of the first verse and hits an octave only he can when he screams, "Let the sky blanket you- with gems and rhinestones!" The song lifts a crowd when Pearl Jam plays it live, and it's amazing how he tones it down and transitions the energy into an acoustic dream. A string quartet then joins him on stage and he surprises everyone by playing "Lukin," a short, angry Pearl Jam cut and as his temporary counterparts struggle to keep up Eddie beats his guitar to hell. He then pulls a complete 180 and plays "Just Breathe," a slow and well-versed instant classic off of Backspacer, Pearl Jam's last album.
After a brief break Eddie emerges for his encore and treats the crowd to "Elderly Woman". The place erupts first into cheers, then into a sing along as everyone embraces one of the classics that has defined Pearl Jam for nearly two decades. Glen Hansard joins him on stage and Eddie puts down the guitar as they work together on "Falling Slowly," one of Hansard's best that helped to put him on the map. Eddie then rocks out solo and gives the crowd what they want. His voice booms and his guitar synchs as he plays "Porch," a crowd favorite and one of the best Pearl Jam songs of all time.
As Eddie leaves the stage once again, anyone who has seen Pearl Jam knows the show isn't over. He emerges, this time amidst a sea of fog and a new backdrop and plays "Hard Sun" with Hansard. The lights on the venue turn on in a cheesy attempt to replicate sunlight, but Eddie more than makes up for it in his last choice of the night. He mentions there might be a special guest in the building, and Mike McCreedy enters from the side stage. Pearl Jam's lead guitar player joins him and they embrace as band members and brothers. If there is one way to close a show, it's with "Yellow Ledbetter". They do not disappoint.
Not a single person left unsatisfied, but Pearl Jam brats could argue that sets from previous nights were better. "Off He Goes," an obvious choice for an acoustic set is left out but hey- Eddie does what he wants. His catalog at this point is lengthy to say the least, and he picks and chooses what suits the moment. He plays for well over two hours and represents everything that is true about music. He's someone who appreciates his fans and plays to them, and the music world would be a different place without him. His voice will never falter, and his songs will always inspire. And as I depart and hit the 405 freeway back to Santa Monica, a bit of sadness washes over me knowing that I won't see him again until their "PJ20" twentieth anniversary show in Alpine Valley, Wisconsin over Labor Day Weekend. It's only a couple months away, but it'll seem like years. That's what Eddie does to you- he always leaves you wanting more.

The EGG helmet is without doubt the most flexible helmet ever
Once you have the naked helmet, you can start changing skins and add-ons at wish. This speedy Skin is named after Nino Farina, the legendary Italian race driver known for being the first ever Formula One world champion. Features Endlessly customizable due to the elastic skins and soft rubber Add-ons Whether you want to bike, ski, skate, surf or any other gravity sport: EGG is the only helmet you need. It is universal as it complies with all European safety standards for multiple sports. You are good to go on the street, snow and water. Flexible Adaptive Sandwich Technology. A patented layered construction composed of an ABS outer shell, a flexible EPP safety core, and an EVA comfort core. This combination makes EGG the first flexible helmet to feature a sandwich construction, which means better fitting, more comfortable and ultimately safer for a broad range of head shapes. This material features the ideal combination of strength and toughness yet maintaining flexibility. The outer shell is future-ready as it has all the necessary perforations for attaching all current and upcoming Add-Ons. Expanded Polypropylene has excellent shock absorbing capabilities, has a high rebounding speed after impact, and it is extremely light weight. Furthermore, EPP does not absorb moisture which makes it hygienic and suitable for water sports. This material is popular in many medical applications as it is supremely comfortable, pleasant to the touch and anti-bacterial. It is also waterproof making it hygienic and suitable for water sports. An old school retro shape that covers the ears and upper neck for ultimate protection across a wide variety of sports. The inflatable liner and integrated air-pump gives the helmet an ultimate and adaptable fit for any head shape without pressure points. The pump is conveniently integrated into the side of the outer shell and is easily operated with one finger for both inflation and deflation. The integrated One-Touch Lock and chin strap side-fastening system is pinch-free, and can easily be operated with one hand, even while wearing gloves. Additionally, the lock is suitable for right-handed or left-handed operation as it fastens to either side of the helmet.

Slum Village Rapper Baatin Dead at 35
According to the Detroit Free Press, founding member of seminal Detroit rap group Slum Village, Baatin, is dead at 35. The cause of the death is not yet public. Friends and family, from Dwele and 9th Wonder to Talib Kweli have sent their condolences through Twitter, spreading word of the Detroit MC's passing.
"I'm at a loss right now. Hi-Tek was set to dj for Slum Village tonight. RIP Baatin. More influential than you can imagine. Slum Village forever," wrote Kweli.
Baatin, born Titus Glover, had a history of health problems, and left the group in 2002, after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. Though Slum Village added gifted MC Elzhi shortly before Baatin left, the group suffered a major loss in 2006 when their other founding member, J Dilla, passed away.
Having finally recovering from Dilla's death, remaining founding member T3 recently reached out to Baatin to rejoin the group.
"I felt like the fans wanted Baatin to come back," T3 explained. "I felt like I really didn't want to do another album without Baatin. I wanted his energy..I found him and he was ready. He seemed like he had his stuff together."
News of Baatin's return to Slum Village began circulating, and the group officially announced the Sept. 22 release date of their reunion album 'Villa Manifesto,' the week before Baatin died.
"Baatin will be missed," Slum Village's T3 said in a statement. "I'm glad we got a chance to work together before he passed. We lost another Slum soldier, a dear friend and a brother. He touched many lives."
Baatin left two children, Michael Majesty Ellis, 9, and Aura Grace Glover, 1. There will be a public remembrance for the MC on Sunday in Detroit.He will be missed.

Talking to media in a promotional event, Kareena Kapoor said, "My sister (Karisma Kapoor) has already seen the film. She is my biggest critic, and she couldn't stop crying for ten minutes after watching the film. For me, that was the most special moment of my life. Her reaction to 'Heroine' was a huge achievement for me; and the rest of it lies on all of you, on the audience, and God."
When asked whether she is similar to her character Mahi Arora, Kareena said, "I'm not like that at all. I'm pretty balanced, very calm and composed in real life and publicly. In the film, Mahi has been instigated by the media, and is going through a difficult phase of her life. When you see the film, you'd understand and sympathise with her."
Heroine also stars Randeep Hooda and Arjun Rampal. The movie will hit the screens on 21st September.

I used to enjoy doing my nails so much. And now the fun is almost gone. But I bet it will come back some day. Oh and another thing. I used a neon polish for my gradient manicure. Didn't think that one through. It was a pain in the ass to photograph. A pain in the ass indeed.

Yes, it is possible to hold the sacred. To feel it. To breathe it in. I have spritzed it around my classroom; students have generally found the smell to be pleasant, if slightly reminiscent of Big Red gum.
I recently purchased a two-ounce bottle of Sacred Space from Urban Outfitters, America's finest purveyor of culturally insensitive fashion and home decor. ("TO USE: Mist around your room, house, car, etc., to ground, clear, & renew energies.") Although this product may seem like little more than all-natural air freshener, the marketing of Sacred Space is interesting for students and scholars of religion and capitalism. Critics of these types of products argue that they represent a form of cultural imperialism, while those that promote these items—and benefit from their sales—argue that they are honoring a community or a way of life. The problem is that, while this item in particular draws on imagery and symbolism vaguely associated with Indigenous spirituality, it is unmoored from a particular cultural community.
The art of "smudging," the burning of sacred aromatic herbs, is a cleansing ritual that has been practiced by humans since ancient times. These sacred plants are believed to help dispel unwanted energies and encourage healing.The herbs, essential oils, and flower essences in this mist are among those believed to aid in spiritual cleansing, grounding, and energetic renewal and protection.

Hyundai's i20, launched in South Africa in 2010, offers a feature-loaded package at a price that has Japanese competitors choking on their sushi (most Korean cars do that!) but it is not, as Jeremy Clarkson would put it, a cool car.
In an attempt to lower i20's temperature, particularly in the eyes of younger car-buyers, Hyundai SA have re-visited their spec sheet, ticked a few extra boxes and created a new derivative aimed at squarely at the rave generation - the i20 remix.
It gets 15" alloy rims shod with 185/60 radials (steel rims with plastic covers may be practical, but they are not cool) a rear spoiler on top of the hatch back, park distance control, tinted safety film on the rear and side windows, and a six-speaker radio/CD/MP3 audio system with Bluetooth, iPod and USB connectivity.
And how much extra does all that cost?
Nada. Niks. Not a cent
The Hyundai i20 remix sells for the same R169 900 as the vanilla-flavour GLS version, with the same 91kW, 156Nm, twin-cam 1.6-litre Gamma engine and five-speed manual 'box taking it from red light to 100 kays in 9.5 seconds and on to 190km/h.
Average fuel consumption is also the same: expect to burn about six litres per 100km in mixed driving.
Air conditioning; power mirrors and windows all round with one touch up/down for the driver; remote central locking; remote fuel-flap release; satellite audio controls on the steering wheel;trip computer for average and instant fuel consumption, distance to empty and ambient temperature and full-sized alloy spare wheel.
The rear-seat backrest has a 60:40 split as does the cushion. With the squabs tilted forward, there's a low, perfectly flat load area with a maximum load length of 1.35 metres.
And, to make sure the music doesn't stop, there's a five-year or 150 000km warranty and a three-year or 60 000km service plan.

MIND the gap? This is getting ridiculous. Victory in west London on Saturday moved Manchester United 15 points clear at the top of the Premier League and although the lead could revert to 12 if defending champions Manchester City beat Chelsea on Sunday there can be no question that Alex Ferguson's men are champions in waiting.
This was United's 15th league match without defeat, stretching back to November, and few would have been as comfortable or controlled as Saturday's sojourn at cellar dwellers QPR.
Wonderfully struck goals in each half by Rafael, the young Brazilian fullback, and Ryan Giggs, in his 999th professional match, merely confirmed United's utter domination of proceedings.
The one concern for Ferguson was the first-half departure of striker Robin van Persie with a hip injury after colliding with a camera behind the goal. With an epic Champions League clash against Real Madrid looming on Wednesday week, it was a worrying sight for United's supporters but Ferguson said: ''It will be tender and sore for a few days but hopefully he will be all right for the Real Madrid game.''
The United manager was happy with another step taken towards the title. ''We are in a better position today than we were yesterday, we have one game less. The only way we can approach it is by winning our next game and try to win the next game, and see where it takes us.''
Harry Redknapp, the QPR manager, was less equivocal, hailing United as champions-in-waiting. ''Of course they will win the league, certainties,'' he said.
United broke through with just a quarter of the game gone. Giggs snapped up the ball in midfield, feeding van Persie, who cut in to unleash an angled drive at Julio Cesar. The QPR goalkeeper's block save sent the ball arcing out beyond the penalty area where right-back Rafael unleashed a spectacular half-volleyed missile into the top of the net.
In the second half, QPR sub Loic Remy fired a venomous shot and forced a rare save out of United keeper David de Gea. The force, though, was still with the leaders, with Michael Carrick and Giggs controlling the tempo of the game in midfield. There was little QPR, who had lost only one of their previous six matches, could do. The second goal seemed inevitable, and was duly delivered 10 minutes from the end.
United broke past a sluggish QPR midfield and when Nani slid the perfect ball in front of Giggs, the evergreen Welshman took one look and drilled a superb low finish beyond Cesar.
For Arsenal, the season is mainly coming down to salvaging a spot in the Champions League. They put recent cup disappointments behind them with a 2-1 win over Aston Villa to go a point behind fourth-placed Tottenham, who visit West Ham on Monday. Villa sank back into the relegation zone.
It was Arsenal's third straight league victory.
Sixth-placed Everton fell five points behind Arsenal after losing 2-1 at Norwich, West Bromwich Albion rose to seventh by beating Sunderland by the same score, and Fulham defeated Stoke 1-0 in a mid-table clash.
Wigan thumped Reading 3-0 at home to claw their way out of the drop zone.

1980s Roaring Spring Spiral Notebook
- 05.20.09
- My Collection, Nostalgia, Personal, lined, My Collection, Nostalgia, Roaring Spring, spiral, top scholar
- 9 Comments
Here's a pretty basic notebook from the mid-1980s. I used it for a while in high school to keep track of school assignments and such– I dated each page, and noted each day's assignments and deadlines. It's got a nice clean design, but is otherwise quite boring! I'm not sure why I favored it at the time, other than just wanting something cheap and simple to write in.
I got a kick out of the page below– a very exciting thing at the time, driving lessons!
I used lots of simple spiral notebooks like this, many of which I still have. This particular one was made by Roaring Spring/Top Scholar, of Roaring Spring, Pennsylvania. I have another notebook made by Top Scholar– it appears to have been a separate company based in Columbia, MD, so I guess Roaring Spring must have bought them out. I can't find any information on the companies, but I'm sure it was yet another link in the chain of notebook manufacturing companies consolidating and then sending their operations overseas… this always makes me feel sad!
9 Responses to "1980s Roaring Spring Spiral Notebook"
Ah! Columbia MD. That is just around the corner from me. I wonder what font that is that "Memo Book" is written in? I almost certainly had one like that at some point.
I think we're not afraid to 'mess up' an average notebook and therefore probably write more freely.
Your blog is exactly what I've been looking for. I am happy to find someone who has the same obsession that I do. It's hard to explain to some people the compulsion to buy blank books constantly.
I've never been able to find words to explain that compulsion. It feels good just to read this blog. You might inspire me to exhibit my own collection online.
Also: I am a huge fan of Roaring Springs. I once called them up and told them so and they sent me 25 mini composition books.
Roaring Spring is a quaint little town about 50 miles from the Mason-Dixon Line. My great grandmother lived there.
It's has had a paper mill for a long time which used to announce itself when one came to town, but they removed the odor many years ago.
There is a large gushing spring in the middle of town with great drinking water. They also bottle it for sale.
Not much else goes on there, just cows and dairy farms. It's a very pretty area.
Yes, I collect notebooks too, can't resist them. Also pens and pencils. I like pocket calculators too.
All through the 80's and 90's and the turn of the century I used Roaring Spring notebooks exclusively. I lived outside DC and bought them at the local Giant Stores. Now you can't get the quality ones, great paper and made in the USA, for anything! If I'd known the Overseas markets were going to flood us with cheap crap I'd bought them by the hundreds. Who'd ever think that there'd come a day when you had to settle for cheap garbage?
Just popped over here from the Pen Addict. Saw this under the "you might also like:" current post. I happen to live in Roaring Spring/Martinsburg area of PA. Roaring Spring Blank Book is very much in operation and does not produce overseas. Excellent family business. Here is a link to their website: http://www.rspaperproducts.com/ check out their catalog and drool …. I'll be back. Nice blog ….
I have the compulsion to purchase note books dating back to at least 1955 as thats the date on the earliest of the books in my collection. Still buying them and pens and pencils. Love the roaring spring books as my wife is from Roaring Spring . She has given up on trying to stop my buying books, I think she just plans to dump them if she out lives me. Makes me wonder if there are notebooks in heaven.

Land Rover North America Releases the 2000 Authoritative Guide To SUVs
9 February 2000Land Rover North America Releases the 2000 Authoritative Guide To Sport-Utility Vehicles; Award-Winning Buyer's Guide Updated to Include 2000 Model Sport-Utility Vehicles, Important New Technology
CHICAGO, Feb. 9 -- "Grab a pencil and maybe a highlighter; sit down and spend some time finding out about sport-utility vehicles. Make notes in the margins. Mark certain phrases. Be prepared. This is your guide to making the right choice among the many SUVs available." And so begins The 2000 Authoritative Guide to Sport-Utility Vehicles, which was officially released today by Land Rover North America, Inc. The award winning, 112-page buyer's guide offers SUV shoppers a candid look at the often-overwhelming world of sport-utility vehicles. It has been significantly updated for 2000 to include helpful information on recently launched vehicles and important, newly introduced technology. Jim Selwa, vice president, Marketing at Land Rover North America, said, "The sport-utility market is fast becoming the most crowded, most competitive segment-there are so many good choices out there. While it's a great time to be in the market, is also pretty confusing out there. We created The Authoritative Guide to help consumers determine what their needs are and what vehicle best fits those needs, whether it is a Land Rover or another product." Four-wheel drive? Unitized body? Four-channel anti-lock brakes? Land Rover's Authoritative Guide offers straight talk on technical issues, vehicle specifications and pricing data for 34 competitive 2000 model year sport- utility vehicles. Vehicle measurements-everything from cargo space to overall length and interior headroom-have been supplied by the individual manufacturers and are carefully presented in easy-to-compare tables, allowing consumers to quickly compare a wide range of popular sport-utility vehicles using one single source. In addition, readers will find articles addressing SUV safety, off-road driving techniques and background on venues where owners can use and enjoy their sport-utility vehicles. The format for the fourth edition of The Authoritative Guide makes it both informative and easy to read and understand. Simple charts, graphs and numerous illustrations work to present the data in a clear, discernable manner. A comprehensive six-page glossary includes easy-to-master definitions of commonly heard-and often misunderstood-terms, such as Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, viscous coupling and ramp breakover angle. Free copies of The 2000 Authoritative Guide to Sport-Utility Vehicles may be picked up at any Land Rover retailer, including the 78 Land Rover Centres. Land Rover North America, Inc., established in 1986, imports Range Rover and Discovery Series II vehicles manufactured in Solihull, England, for sale in the U.S. and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the BMW Group, Munich, Germany.

SHERIDAN — Sheridan's Kayla Woodward was named Mountain West Conference Preseason Player of the Year, the school announced today.
But the surprise came as the Cowgirls were picked to finish second in the preseason MWC poll, receiving four first-place votes. FSU was picked to top the conference as they took 17 first-place votes, while San Diego State, 3rd, and UNLV, 5th, had two apiece.
"Definitely surprised with our preseason selection," said head coach Joe Legerski in a release from UW Athletics. "I'm excited about the year but understand that this is a team that will develop over time. We lost three starters that accumulated approximately half of our points and rebounds, so someone will have to step up to fill major roles to meet our team expectations.
Wyoming lost all-conference selections Chaundra Sewell and Ashley Sickles to graduation last year, and will work with a relatively inexperienced squad after losing 2012-13 starting point guard Alison Gorrell and junior forward Aubrey Boehme, who transferred after the season.
Legerski was less surprised by Woodward's selection as she enters her junior year.
"Kayla has had an impact on this program over the past two seasons," Legerski continued. "She is very deserving for both honors being named Preseason Player of the Year and to the Preseason All-Conference Team."
A 2011 graduate of Sheridan High School, Woodward was named to the 2013 MW All-Tournament Team, and is the top returning scorer in the league. She averaged 14.1 points per game last season. Colorado State senior Sam Martin, FSU senior Taylor Thompson, SDSU junior Erimma Amarikwa, and San Jose State junior Ta'Rea Cunnigan join her on the preseason 2013-14 All-MWC squad.
Wyoming opens its exhibition season against Chadron State Friday, Nov. 1 in the Arena Auditorium in Laramie. They'll play Montana State-Northern in Sheridan at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 at the Bruce Hoffman Golden Dome.
Rk. Team (1st-place votes) Points
1. Fresno State (17) 238
2. Wyoming (4) 212
3. San Diego State (2) 196
4. New Mexico 185
6. Utah State 136
7. Colorado State 130

WAUSEON (AP) -- The superintendent of a northeast Ohio cemetery says about 100 brass rods that hold medallions and flags were stolen from veterans' graves.
WTOL-TV reports the rods were replaced Monday at the Wauseon Union Cemetery, about 35 miles west of Toledo.
Cemetery superintendent Scott Stiriz says it's the second time the brass has been stolen there. He says he's considering installing security cameras.
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office is investigating the thefts. It estimates the stolen brass was worth about $350.

The video below demonstrates light transmission from behind the silicon block imaged with an InGaAs camera. The cracks and material inhomogeneities of this scrap block are clearly visible; a computer can easily map the location of the defects. Take note of the almost complete blocking of light transmission on the right end of the block. The lack of light identifies the top of the original casting, as carbon floats to the top of the molten silicon.
The three photos in Figure 3 show how InGaAs detectors can image through the entire width of a silicon block before cutting it into wafers. The block in the image measures 156 x 156 x 254 mm (6.1 x 6.1 x 10"). It is completely solid and weighs 40 pounds. Despite that, the InGaAs camera is able to resolve detail in the small Air Force resolution chart taped to the back of the block. The illumination comes from an incandescent flashlight positioned to project collimated light, creating a shadow pattern imaged by the camera through the block.
In this image, one side of the block (the side facing the camera) is polished. Unpolished, the light rays would be scattered in many directions, obscuring the detail. With careful management of illumination and imaging, however, and by the use of InGaAs linescan cameras, coordinated with line illumination sources to map the defects within the block, the image processing software tells the diamond saws which parts to cut into wafers and which parts to recycle.
InGaAs detectors are also used to inspect blocks and wafers to gauge material quality. Using photoluminescence (PL), short-wavelength laser power irradiates the silicon and causes bright glow at the bandgap wavelength. Producers map good solar cell material with this technique. However, certain defects resulting from dislocation within the crystalline structure can actively quench the photovoltaic effect of the solar cell. The photoluminescence process will also reveal their locations by weakly emitting in the 1300 to 1600 nm range. As a result of Goodrich process improvements that reduce dark current and system-read noise in its imaging arrays, this very weak glow is now visible to their InGaAs cameras running at video frame rates.
Figure 4, for example, shows several areas of defect locations in a finished wafer. As PL is a contact-less form of inspection, it evaluates raw silicon blocks and freshly cut wafers for problems before proceeding with expensive processing. This is a clear advantage over electroluminescent testing of completed solar cells, though that remains a powerful inspection tool for monitoring product quality on the cell fabrication line, and for panel assemblers.
Other Applications
Beyond the solar industry, PL, at SWIR wavelengths, captures from outside of living small animals the weak glow from nano-tube structures tagged to tumor cells inside their internal organs. Other imaging applications that have been addressed with InGaAs technology include inspection of thin-film and triple-junction photovoltaic cells with both PL and EL techniques, hot hollow glassware inspection with direct imaging, and NIR spectroscopic-based sorting of agricultural, pharmaceutical, and recyclable products.
Improved InGaAs-SWIR imaging has also benefited biomedical imaging with optical coherence tomography (OCT). This method detects disease in the eye, arteries, or organs, either with spectral-domain or full-field approaches. Currently developing is the use of SWIR transillumination to detect tooth decay and demineralization of tooth enamel. The sensor technology has also benefited military and homeland defense in areas such as covert surveillance, laser spotting, and hyperspectral imaging for camouflage and IED detection. Even the art world benefits from this technology; infrared reflectography techniques image paintings, looking under the paint layers of an artwork to see the artist's original intent or detect counterfeits, or to see through browned varnish to see potential detail to be recovered in the restoration process.

Do you have to check your religion at the door of your own business?
That is the question Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) submitted to the Supreme Court on Thursday. On behalf of Conestoga Wood Specialties Corporation, ADF and allied attorneys Randall Wenger and Charles Proctor have filed a Supreme Court petition to challenge a ruling on Obamacare's abortion-pill mandate.
The Hahn family, which owns the company, comprises devout Mennonite Christians whose father founded a kitchen cabinet-making company nearly 50 years ago. They are peaceful and hardworking people who have built a successful American business that employs hundreds of people.
Norman Hahn and his wife and children never imagined they would have to go to court just to stop the federal government from forcing them to pay for insurance that covers the destruction of human life.
The United States was founded by people seeking the freedom to practice their faith in their everyday lives. But today's federal government says that freedom of religion is, by definition, excluded when you earn a living for your family in business.
It would surely come as a shock to the pilgrims founding the American colonies that the government could force them to destroy human life in their daily business activities, on the theory that their religion could be freely practiced only in houses of worship.
Yet that is exactly what the federal government is claiming through Obamacare, when it mandates that employers include early abortion-inducing items and contraception in health insurance even when the families owning those businesses object.
Until now, most courts in America recognized that religious freedom includes what you do in your daily life, including in your business. But the appeals court in Philadelphia rejected the Hahns' religious freedom claim, insisting that because their business is incorporated, they cannot even allege they exercise religion in their family company.
The Conestoga case represents a threat to everyone's religious freedom. If corporations can't exercise religion, even religious schools and churches might find themselves being told they can't practice their faith because they are incorporated.
The New York Times, the American Civil Liberties Union and Starbucks are all corporations, and they all promote ideological agendas. No one believes they don't have First Amendment rights. The Hahn family has just as much a claim to their First Amendment rights.
Only the Supreme Court can fix these rulings against religious freedom that have been spawned by Obamacare. The federal government has no business deciding that faith cannot be exercised in vast areas of human life like business, health care and education. In America, religious freedom must be respected in all areas of life.

Beautiful Proof Thalers! Each coin contains .7516 oz of pure Silver!
These are re-strikes of the famous Maria Theresa Thaler.
These beautiful coins come from the world renowned Austrian Mint, and are striking Proof examples.
Maria Theresa succeeded her father, Charles VI as ruler of the Kingdoms of Austria and Hungary in 1740. During her 40 year reign, she defended her empire successfully in the War of Austrian Succession. The Silver Thaler was the currency of the empire and its dominions. This coin was one of the most important trade coins in Europe, and one of the best known in the world. The Austrian Thaler and the Spanish 8 Reales were the basis for the Silver dollar which was adopted by the fledgling United States under the mint Act of 1792. In fact, the word "dollar" is derived from the German/Austrian word "Thaler".
Each of these examples comes in its own protective capsule.
The Vienna Mint was originally situated near Hoher Merkt and later at various locations in Vienna. Since the first half of the 19th century, the mint has been housed in Heumarkt in central Vienna, where coins are still struck to this day. Minting facilities opened throughout Austria until 1918 when the Republic of Austria was formed and the Vienna Principal Mint became the singular minting facility. In 1989, the name officially changed to the Austrian Mint and became a subsidiary of the Austrian National Bank.
One of the Austrian Mint's most recognized coins is the Maria Teresa Thaler, which is not simply a famous Silver coin, but one that boasts the greatest number minted. Another prime example of the mint's international success is the Gold Philharmonic, one of the most popular Gold bullion coins worldwide. The Gold Philharmonic has played a vital role in developing the Austrian Mint into a highly successful company. The Austrian Mint's beautifully crafted coins are minted in the heart of Vienna and are sought after by investors and collectors around the world.

I purchased this proof coin because it was a restrike of a 1780 coin which had lots of historical significance. The reverse of the queen's portrait has both a shiny lustre next to a dull finish...quite lovely. The state seal on the obverse has wonderful detail and even the edging of this proof has a design element to it...well done.
- Mint Condition
- Attractive Design
- Collectible (lower mintage)
- Value (low premium over spot)
We provide all of our customers with a refund, return and / or exchange on everything we sell including all bullion and certified coins. If for any reason, you have a problem, please feel free to call us. We will always do our best to accommodate you.

Witnesses to a house fire in Thornwood have described the "frightening" events of this afternoon.
Firefighters were called to the fire in Rowley Mead at 1.15pm. The flames had already taken hold of the house with both floors severely damaged and the roof destroyed. The two neighbouring houses had suffered smoke damage.
Martin Walker, 54 of one of the neighbouring houses said: "Smoke was billowing out. We were off work so were having a late lie in, we heard a massive bang and looked out our bedroom window, saw the smoke so got dressed quickly and rushed out.
"It looked like it was coming out of the main bedroom. We couldn't believe how quickly the fire took hold. My wife was petrified."
Simon Price, 45 who lives opposite the house, also witnessed the events unfold.
He said: "I heard a loud bang and saw smoke coming from the roof of the house. I quickly ran round to the house to try and help.
"I got to the back of the house but when I saw the flames coming from the top bedroom, I knew I couldn't do anything.
"The woman inside of the house had come outside with her dog after she smelt smoke. She accidently locked herself out, but really it was lucky she did that, otherwise she might have gone back in."
Julia Houghton, another neighbour, added: "We could smell the smoke and saw the young lady running across the road with her dog. There was so much smoke and a great deal of flames out the back of the house."
"The windows started breaking and I was dead scared, it was very frightening."
Other members of the neighbourhood worked together to help the affected families move their belongings from the houses.
Iris Smith, 72 also of Rowley Meade, said: "It is terrible what has happened but Thornwood is a really close community, we have all come together. Everybody has made tea for one another. I'll have to search for all my mugs."
Investigations into the cause of the fire are on-going.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/9/2011 (2167 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I met a guy who was working in the Safeway near my home and he was so cute I kept coming back. He hasn't been there for a few weeks so I asked where he went and one of the cashiers said he'd moved off to another store, but wouldn't tell me where. I'd be willing to check every Safeway in Winnipeg if I could find him again and ask him out. I know he likes me too (he flirts with me) and I really feel like I missed a big opportunity. But, would he freak out if I found him again and would he feel like he's being stalked? -- Want To Find Mr. Safeway, South End
Dear Want Mr. S,: Why did he not ask you out? Do you think it's because he can't hit on customers or was he just practice-flirting and doesn't care that much? Look, there's a chance he liked you, too, but if you show up on the other side of town and find him, it's going to feel like stalking. But, if you very casually check around the two closest Safeways to yours, you might be able to finesse an "imagine meeting you here" and then tell him you miss seeing him at the old store and ask him our for coffee. If he gives you any kind of no, such as "love to, but I have a girlfriend right now," don't bother him again.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I was in bed with my older girlfriend, who happens to be kind of married, when there was a knock at the door. Her cheating husband was out of town on a business trip so it wasn't him -- and besides he has a key. She sneaked to the window and saw it was a neighbor. She called through the door, "Can I help you?"' and the neighbor says, "Tell your little boyfriend to leave or I'm going to tell your husband." I almost fell over. I whispered to my girlfriend to tell the old biddy to leave or I would call the police. Now I'm scared this witch next door WILL tell her husband and he will come after me. He has a lot of money and powerful friends. He also cheats on his wife when he's away. I've seen the paper trail -- dinners, flowers, drinks, sex toys. -- The "Little" Boyfriend, Wpg.
Dear Boyfriend: Your cougar needs to set herself free. The time for playing revenge games with her husband is over. The old gal from next door is not afraid of your girlfriend, but she may be afraid of her husband. It's interesting she gave you a chance to get away instead of simply telling the husband. Whatever the reason, you need to get out of this situation, pronto. This was the warning flag. Bad things are about to happen all round, so make yourself scarce until your cougar is free to be on the prowl. She may actually love her cheating spouse and be hoping he finds out he's had studly competition. If he's not a gentle guy -- and I'm betting he's not -- you could end up in trouble.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: Boy can I relate to Loathing Mommy! My mother in law was so lovely to me in the beginning, but as my relationship with her "baby" grew more serious, and a wedding date was set, things started to change. I knew exactly how she felt when we opened her wedding card and found it empty! We've been married four years, lots of drama. I confronted her once in front of my husband and she still brings it up. Thankfully, my husband defends me when she attacks, gets up and leaves, and comes home and confesses all. She is always nicey-nice to my face, but my arms are sore from pulling out the knives in my back. I thought your advice to Loathing was spot on -- confront prospective mama-in-law and see if he steps up to defend you, or if he runs away! If Loathing's fiancé doesn't turn out to be as strong as my guy, he'll never cut the cord. -- Happy With My Man, Winnipeg
Dear Happy: I hate to prick your balloon, but why does your husband run home and tell you every mean thing his mother says about you? That's not being 100 per cent supportive and protective. He must enjoy seeing your upset reactions, or he wouldn't do it.

LOCAL boy Owen Howkins and his dog Haatchi are the stars of a forthcoming book.
Owen, who is known to his family as Little B for 'little buddy', suffers from the rare genetic condition Schwartz-Jampel syndrome which causes his muscles to be permanently tense. Anatolian Shepherd Haatchi is the devoted family dog.
Haatchi and Little B, which will be released on February 13 by Transworld Digital, tells the amazing story of how the pair found each other.
As a puppy, Haatchi was tied to a railway line in London and was hit by a train, only to be found days later. By the time he was taken to a vet's surgery, nothing could be done to save his back leg and tail and both had to be amputated.
Colleen Drummond, the partner of Owen's dad Will Howkins, spotted Haatchi on a Facebook appeal and moved him into the family home just six weeks after the incident.
This is the inspiring story of the pair's subsequent bond, a bond which has touched the hearts of thousands of people.
Wendy Holden, also known as Taylor Holden, is an experienced author and novelist with more than twenty five books already published, including a novel. She has had numerous works transferred to radio and television.
Find out more online at wendyholden.com.
*Owen and Haatchi, joined by Wendy, will appear at a book signing in Basingstoke's Waterstones in Festival Place on February 15 at 12.30pm.
Haatchi will be signing books via a paw-shaped stamp. Waterstones can also send books out to people who can't make it. Call 01256 460646 to find out more.

Nowadays when people think of Steve Spurrier, they think of him as the brash, visor-wearing coach who led Florida to national prominence and South Carolina to respectability.
But before the visor, before the Fun 'n Gun and before the entertaining press conferences, there was Spurrier the quarterback.
The 6-foot-2, 203-pounder starred for the Gators from 1964-66, earning All-American honors his last two seasons. In an era dominated by the run, Spurrier was, along with Jerry Rhome and Bill Anderson of Tulsa, one of the first quarterbacks to really air it out.
As a junior, he threw for 1,893 yards and 14 touchdowns while leading Florida to the Sugar Bowl (where the Gators lost a close one to Missouri, 20-18). And so "Steve Superior" entered 1966 as one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy.
He helped Florida to a great start that year as the Gators outscored Northwestern, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt by a combined 84-14. So Florida was 3-0 and ranked 10th in the country when it traveled to Tallahassee to take on in-state, unranked rival Florida State.
This week in Heisman history, 46 years ago, the Gators needed a big game from Spurrier to beat the Seminoles, albeit under controversial circumstances.
Spurrier was on target early, hitting receiver Richard Trapp for a 35-yard touchdown pass to open the scoring, then finding him again for a six-yard touchdown before the half after the Seminoles had stormed back with 10 straight points. The teams went to the break with the Gators up, 14-10.
Florida State dominated the third quarter to take a 19-14 lead, but then Spurrier struck back with a 41-yard touchdown pass to halfback Larry Smith with 10:44 left in the game. A two-point conversion pass to Trapp made it 22-19.
The Seminoles didn't give up. They drove down the field with time winding down, and quarterback Gary Pajcic found wide out Lane Fenner in the end zone for a 45-yard touchdown with just 17 seconds left.
But the referees ruled Fenner was out of bounds, and Florida came away with the win, its eighth in nine tries against the 'Noles. News photos later revealed Fenner was actually in bounds, and the bad call stuck in the craw of FSU fans for years.
Spurrier was 16-of-24 for 219 yards and three touchdowns against the Seminoles as Florida moved to 4-0. It also made Spurrier the favorite to win the Heisman. The Gators went on to a 7-0 start and a No. 7 ranking in the polls before falling to Georgia, 27-10. A 27-12 triumph over Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl on Jan. 2, 1967, gave Florida a 9-2 record and its first major bowl victory.
But before the Orange Bowl, Spurrier was awarded Florida's first Heisman Trophy. On the year, he completed 61.5 percent of his passes for 2,012 yards with 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions. He also kicked three field goals, including a 40-yard game-winner against Auburn after he waved off the starting kicker.
Spurrier won four out of five Heisman voting regions and totaled 1,659 points to easily beat runner-up Bob Griese ofPurdue (816 points) and Nick Eddy of Notre Dame (456 points).
He went on to be selected third overall in the NFL draft by San Francisco, where he played nine years. A somewhat lackluster pro career eventually turned into an outstanding coaching career.
But 46 years ago this week, there was no player more outstanding than Spurrier.Powered by Sidelines

I think even the ones with non-cellular features have them and should that be an issue like when people say that it's tablet and it'll be useless to have speakers, then simply don't use them for calls or use a headset :D

Neil Sperry: Lawn struggles in spite of care
Updated 5:01 pm, Friday, August 5, 2011
Q: I had the Take All Root Rot you described this spring. I put down sphagnum peat moss, but the spot has grown larger. I recently had new St. Augustine sod planted, and the dead spot is heading toward it. Should I be concerned?
A: You won't have Take All Root Rot active in St. Augustine now. If you're losing St. Augustine now, it's probably chinch bugs, excessive shade, gray leaf spot or drought. You need to determine the cause. The Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Texas A&M can help you if it's fungal. Contact them through your local Extension office, but rule out the other possibilities first.
Lifestyle Channel
Q: My Indian hawthorn plants are in three-quarters full sun. I water twice a week for 12 minutes. They are exhibiting stress by showing brown and gray leaves that look like they have been burned. I have fertilized them three times a year, but nothing seems to work. What can I do?
A: Indian hawthorns grow well in sun in Texas. However, many of us have seen them develop fingerprint-size tan blotches in the centers of their leaves if they are planted in forebodingly hot, reflective settings such as against concrete and backed up against walls. If they are allowed to get too dry, they will suffer without visibly wilting. You will see browned leaf tips and margins. Overfeeding with a fast-release type of nitrogen will do the same thing. They are subject to cotton root rot in areas with alkaline soils. Temperatures below 18 degrees can cause damage that sometimes does not show up for several months, even into late spring and early summer.
I can't be sure that the amount and frequency of your watering is proper. There are too many variables. What types of heads are you using, or how many gallons of water are being given each plant? What type of soil? What type of fertilizer?
If I had to guess, I'd suspect they got too dry.
Q: I mistakenly sprayed weed and grass killer on my lawn. It created dead spots, and now, despite all my reseeding efforts, I cannot get grass to grow there. What can I do to get grass to take hold there?
A: Read the label to see what duration of control it offered for weeds and grasses. Some of the products are intended for use in industrial properties, where owners want to eliminate all vegetation from parking lots, alleys, etc. for as long as possible - a year or longer. Hopefully that won't be the type of product you applied. In any event, time will heal all. Or, you can replace the top 5 or 6 inches of soil.

CoverGirl CG Smoothers Pressed Powder Reviews
love it!I have very dry skin and every foundation I get has to be geared for dry skin. I thought I'd try the cg pressed powder for dry skin too (smoothers). I love this stuff! Wished I'd found this before I got the 'clean' pressed powder. I love that too, but this is for dry skin, so I'd rather use this! This stuff is fantastic. I wished it had that same scent as the 'clean' line does. — 6 years, 7 months agopersigabby | 1 reviews

Finally found 'the one'!I love this powder. It is very silky and blends amazingly well. A little goes a long way, but at the same time, you can build your coverage quite a bit and still get a very natural look. Plus, it is very affordable. Love it! It is by far one of the best powders I've ever tried. — 6 years, 11 months agoeabs | 1 reviews
PerfectIt really is, perfect. My skin looks fabulously airbrushed - Enough said! Although, the container broke quite easily. — 7 years, 7 months agoJoelyMariee | 4 reviews
Not BadIt's been a while since I've bought something from Cover Girl. My MAC translucent pressed powder is almost gone and needed to replace it and noticed this while wandering through Target. I have very fair skin (I'm usually the fairest or 2 shades from the fairest color in any makeup line), so I bought Translucent Light and it's a good match. I usually like to keep a pressed powder in my purse for...read more touchups and figured I'd try a cheaper alternative. While the powder is not as finely milled as MAC and the compact won't last nearly as long, it goes on smoothly, has nice coverage, and takes the shine away for a while. So, if you are like me and you only use pressed powder for the occasional touch up, give this a try. — 7 years, 11 months agoLinnylv | 10 reviews
Best pressed powder for the buck!have been using this pressed powder for as long as i can remember. I am a huge high-end brand fanatic as i believe you get what you pay for and i am not going to compromise my face to save few bucks. So it was quite shocking to find something at drug store that can give a run to the high end brands with its smooth application and extremely low price. Also, i do not have to do touch ups every three to four hours which is such a time saver. — 8 years agodeejey | 1 reviews

Keep the money at home
Keep the money at home
Concerning the article about off-duty police officers taking children on a spending spree (VND, Dec. 19): Although I think this is a great and wonderful thing, why would they take $40,000 out of a struggling town that pays their wages?
We have a Kmart with local people working there who probably donated to the cause with their hard-earned money. Not only did they go to a Wal-Mart for the spree, they went to one not even in their own tax base (Delmont).
Did they go there because they thought they would get more bang for their buck? Not always true.
People really need to start thinking about local businesses.

1 vs 100: Eddie likes the odds for a TV return
McGuire: "A genius or a goose".
Photo: Craig Abraham
Television's worst-kept secret has been confirmed: Channel Nine chief executive Eddie McGuire will return as the network's public face by hosting the new game show, 1 vs 100.
McGuire, who will retain his position as chief executive and has refused to rule out any additional hosting roles, is defying critics who warn he is spreading himself too thinly.
Failure of the highly touted game show would be a spectacular blow for the network, whose traditional ratings dominance was undermined last year, and for McGuire personally, who has endured criticism over several costly missteps since taking the reins last February.
They included the spectacular flop The Great Weight Debate, initiated by McGuire on his assessment that the public is hungry for "event television".
He used the same words to describe 1 vs 100, a replacement for his former show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire.
1 vs 100 goes to air on Monday, January 29, at 8.30pm.
Already a huge success in the US and Britain, the trivia show the first instalment of which will be taped at Docklands today has a single contestant pitted against another 100 contestants in a game of elimination as they battle for a potential $1 million.
If he is suffering any nerves, McGuire is keeping them under wraps. His news conference yesterday was typically Eddie: relentlessly upbeat and chock-full of his beloved sporting analogies. "I'm very excited to be back on-air. I probably didn't realise how much I missed it until I wasn't there."
Industry observers have said the move would be deleterious for the once-ironclad McGuire, whose popularity reached its peak as host of The Footy Show and Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, at the same time heading Collingwood Football Club.
But McGuire contends he will be able to film the first series of 15 episodes over seven days, scheduled at weekends.
"Some might say it's a risk for me to do so, rolling all the dice in one go, but I'm not risk-averse."
McGuire said he would be hailed "a genius or a goose" at the end of the year.

2000 Dodge Neon Install Thermostat
From WikituneUp - The Free Service Manual
The 2000 Dodge Neon thermostat is designed to fail in the safe position. This means the thermostat stops working in a position where radiator fluid can flow through the engine unrestricted. This "fail safe" is designed to keep the engine from overheating. If the engine overheats, the result will be warped engine heads and even a warped engine block. Both of which can cause thousands of dollars to repair. The drawback to this method is that the inside of the vehicle will fail to produce heat until a new thermostat is put into place.
Tools Used[edit]
|2002 Dodge Neon thermostat
|2002 Dodge Neon thermostat gasket
Install Thermostat[edit]
- Trace the top radiator hose from the radiator to the location where the hose secures to the engine. The metal cover that the hose connects to houses the thermostat.
- Remove the two 10-millimeter bolts that secure the cover onto the engine with a wrench. If you cannot reach the bolts or you are using a socket/ratchet, remove the radiator hose from the metal cover by removing the radiator hose clamp.
- Lift the metal cover off the thermostat to expose the thermostat. With the radiator hose still attached to the cover, lift upward on it to drain the fluid back into the engine. Push the cover and the hose off to the side. If you removed the hose, simply lift up on the metal cover and place it off to the side.
- Pull the broken thermostat out of the engine and place a new one into place. The new one should be orientated in the same manner as the old one to ensure proper fluid circulation.
- Lift the old gasket off the engine and place the new gasket into place. The new gasket should remain dry throughout this process.
- Bolt the metal cover back onto the engine using the old bolts. If the radiator hose was removed during the tear down process, secure the hose back onto the metal cover with the radiator hose clamp.

Issue of the Week:
A Simple Way to Aid Domestic Violence Survivors
The campaign to require paid sick days to all Milwaukee workers rightly
emphasizes the boost in health and productivity that will be provided
to employees, employers, parents and anyone who encounters sick
employees in their workplace.
On Nov. 4, Milwaukee voters can choose to help working men and women maintain steady employment and provide stable homes for their children. The solution is simple: Provide earned sick leave to employees so they can take time off when they're sick or suffering from abuse at home.
Hero of the Week: Jeannetta Robinson
The community lost a tireless advocate for the underprivileged this week with the passing of Jeannetta Robinson, founder and executive director of Career Youth Development, which provides educational and social service programs to the inner city. The Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors' Black Caucus said of Robinson, the "community will never forget the helping hand she lent to one and all. The vision shared by Jeannetta and her mother, Claretta Simpson, led to the building of an organization that is vital to giving hope to those who have nowhere else to turn. She was a great soldier and had the ability to take care of those who need the help most. This vision is a true inspiration to all of us. While we will never fully replace this loss to the community, Jeannetta's legacy will live on through the thousands of lives impacted during her stay with us."
Jerk of the Week: Steve Baas
Steve Baas, former aide to Assembly Republican and convicted felon Scott Jensen, currently scampers about town as a big-business lobbyist screeching warnings about the paid sick days referendum on November's ballot, arguing unconvincingly that businesses would migrate en masse out of the city rather than provide modest sick leave to their valued employees. In an amusing bit of tortured logic, Baas told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that not having sick days is "better than not having a job. They won't have to worry about sick leave if they don't have a job to take it from." Curiously, Baas himself accumulated 150 sick days while working for the state, and used one-third of them, according to public records obtained by One Wisconsin Now (OWN). OWN Executive Director Scot Ross says that if Baas "is so opposed to paid sick days for Milwaukee workers, he should return the 51 days of sick pay the taxpayers footed for him."
Blog of the Week: Kay's Blue Racine
"What did John McCain do [in response to the economic crisis]? He laid out some new attacks on Barack Obama. The distinction could not be clearer: One guy is fighting for you and the other guy is fighting mad." —Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden

You're going to want to hear this.
On his web site, Timberlake explained what led him to head back into the studio.
"This year is an exciting one for me," he posted. "Back in June of last year, I quietly started working on what is now my next journey with that thing I love called music. The inspiration for this really came out of the blue, and to be honest, I didn't expect anything out of it. I just went into the studio and started playing around with some sounds and songs."
"It was probably the best time I've had in my career… just creating with no rules and/or end goal in mind and really enjoying the process. What I came up with is something I couldn't be more excited about! It is full of inspiration that I grew up listening to, and some newfound muses that I've discovered along the way. I'm calling it The 20/20 Experience, and it's coming out this year. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed making it."
I don't want to put anything out that I feel like is something I don't love. You just don't get that every day. You have to wait for it," Timberlake said in a video clip posted Thursday. "I'm ready."
