The Led Zeppelin vocalist releases the clip as a teaser to the upcoming DVD 'Robert Plant and the Band of Joy: Live from the Artists Den'.
A new video of Robert Plant's performance with Band of Joy has been released in full. In the footage taken during their gig which was broadcast as a part of TV show "Live From the Artists Den", the English singer sang "Gallows Pole", a song listed on Led Zeppelin's album "Led Zeppelin III".
The Led Zeppelin frontman, Plant, assembled Band of Joy in 2010 with singer Patty Griffin and guitarist Buddy Miller as the members. He and the group have since toured around the world, during which they stopped by Nashville's historic War Memorial Auditorium in February 2011 for the public television show.
The gig encompassed Zeppelin cuts, solo material, traditional and new original songs. The video of their "Gallows Pole" performance has just been debuted to promote the release of new live DVD "Robert Plant & the Band of Joy: Live From the Artists Den" on July 10. It is the sixth concert DVD from the Artists Den.
In addition to "Gallows Pole", Plant and the Band of Joy did some other Led Zeppelin songs such as "Black Dog" and "Tangerine" on the occasion. They also offered cuts from their studio album and Plant's solo song "In the Mood".
"Some years back I was propelled by chance, with little planning or expectation into an American way ...with a lean and pull into a new direction...voices and harmony, restraint and explosion, tight and loose, great joy in great company," Plant wrote in the DVD's liner notes. "My thanks to one and all for aiding and abetting this exciting bend in the road."

Brown Butter and Vanilla Bean Glaze
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I often find myself trying to whip up desserts on very little notice. Whether this is due to a lack of organizational skills, or just common sense, is still unclear to me. I came up with this recipe when trying to elevate a store-bought yellow cake mix into something spectacular, by making homemade frosting. 1/2 stick of butter in the fridge? 1/2 a box of powdered sugar? No problem. This icing pours right out of the bowl into a glossy, delicious covering for whatever just so-so baked good you need to transform. It tastes awesome with plain yellow cake, but would also be great with a banana bread or blondie. —flourish food
Makes enough icing for a 9 inch cake
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
- 4 tablespoons milk (I used almond milk, regular will work too)
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat for about 5 minutes, until browned (Butter will foam at first; wait until melted butter turns deep brown)
- Beat the 2 cups of powdered sugar with melted butter with an electric mixer (mixture will be thick)
- Beat in the salt, vanilla, and milk until smooth and creamy. Pour over desired item and spread quickly.

Servier launches Pill Pro, the only pill reminder that can be used by all patients, even the oldest ones05/05/2014
Suresnes, France, 5th May 2014 – Servier announces the launch of Pill Pro, a mobile application to foster patient empowerment
Therapeutic compliance-which means for patients the extent to which they follow their medical prescription-is a key success factor in their medical therapy. The role of the pharmaceutical industry is not limited to research, development, and production of drugs. Its responsibility extends to make sure that drugs are delivered and used under the best conditions by patients so that they may fully benefit from its efficacy.
Servier has just announced the release for all patients of a digital pill reminder to help them to empower themselves.
Olivier Gryson, head of the Digital Communication Division at Servier said: "many such mobile applications already exist, but they are often difficult to use. Elderly patients, who are those most likely to be prescribed multiple drugs, find digital technologies difficult to use. Special care must therefore be given to making the interface more user-friendly for these patients.
Our objective was to give a simple answer to an obvious need. With Pill Pro, we wanted to create an app that would help all patients, even the oldest, to follow their medical prescription.
Pill Pro is available free of charge in more than 10 languages, for Apple and Android smartphones.

A colleague from Kearney Public schools shared this with me during a workshop. I thought it would be a really cool tool for administrators and others that want to map addresses to Google Earth. You just need to create a report in your SIS to get the records. Once you have the addresses, upload the list to BatchGeoCode and let it do it's magic. Heck, you could even export your personal address book and map it.
This is a cool site that will help you map a list of addresses. So you could map all the students that go to GPS. http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/mapalist-map-address-list-google-map/
Kind of cool! Have to include this in SS 2.0 workshop.

Capellini with Chive Blossoms and Creme Fraiche
Perfect for spring, capellini with chive blossoms and creme fraiche is light and fresh -- and a feast for the eyes, thanks to the allium's purple flowers.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2012
- 1 cup creme fraiche
- 1/4 cup minced chive blossoms, plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives, plus more for garnish
- 1 to 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/2 pound capellini (angel hair) pasta
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 jar (4 ounces) whitefish caviar
- 1 hard-cooked egg, yolk and white separated
Stir together 3/4 cup creme fraiche, the chive blossoms, chives, and lemon juice to taste. Season with salt.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and cook pasta until al dente. Drain, reserving 3/4 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with butter and creme fraiche mixture, adding enough pasta water to make a light sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Place a small dollop of remaining creme fraiche in each of 4 to 6 dishes, and sprinkle with chive blossoms and chives. Divide pasta among dishes. Top with caviar and more creme fraiche. Press egg white and yolk through a sieve, then sprinkle over pasta. Serve immediately.

jinx34215 MAY, 2012Sublime... I made this tonight with a salad for dinner and it was amazing. I had fresh chives from my garden that were just beginning to bloom -- although I forgot about the egg at the end, we never missed it. Really fantastic topped with flaked pink sea salt and fresh ground pepper.Reply

This post is so picture heavy, ya'll. It's not really my fault. I'm a new mom and it is really hard to cull photos of my baby. But, don't worry, all these photos are super cute. :)
Mary came down on Saturday and we went to O-CHA Tea Bar. (Jojo was tagged as O-CHA's beauTEAful customer of the day!) What was special about this visit is that the Easter Bunny was there for pictures! It was fun to get Joseph's first character photo.
Isn't my little man the cutest? I really adore his little Easter romper. And the silly faces he makes while getting his photo taken.
Scary Auntie Mary loves her some Jojo snuggles! She might not like babies, but she sure likes this one! And Joseph loves the adorable "wild about auntie" onsie she got him.
Look at us taking a family photo on Easter Sunday. I love love loved my new outfit. Mostly because the top hides all kinds of undesirable postpartum lumps and the pixie pants have awesome stretch action. Joseph wore a different outfit on Easter Sunday because it was supposed to be cold. It ended up being a lot warmer than was predicted, but its okay. He looked so handsome in his little outfit!
I love photos of Mike and Joseph. Those two, man, they are super into each other! Mike loves hanging out with our little boy and it is enough to make this mama's heart burst!
I may or may not have coordinated our outfits on purpose. Whatevs. Also, Joseph doesn't always show it for the camera, but he's got a lot of smiles to share.
Rockin' uncle Leo's hat! It's a little big, but he wears it with confidence. ;)
And then after I got inside, I put my camera down and forgot to pick it up again. But my parents were totally also there for Easter. (Seeing as we were at their house and all...)
To end this post, let me tell you about Easter candy. I have always loved getting an Easter basket and my dad has always loved hiding them for us kids. Behind fake walls, in air vents, etc etc. He's good. He has a video of me, in my pajamas, scouring our house for my Easter basket. I was nineteen. :)
Last year (I think), I made an Easter basket for my Dad and hid it inside of an empty brewing bucket in the laundry room. Basically, a really good hiding spot. It took him ages to find it, with complaining, whining and hints! LOL.
So, this year, dad gets us kids each a small box of chocolate for Easter. But, of course, he hides them. I may have gotten a crazed look in my eyes as soon as he mentioned that he had hid something. Ten seconds into the "search," Mary finds a box of chocolate. Then Leo finds one! They were in ridiculous easy hiding spots so I figured the third box would be as well. I looked high and low. I asked for hints and I was so confused. There were only so many hiding places within the boundaries I was given. Eventually, I got on my hands and knees to look even lower. There was a box of chocolate duct taped to the underside of the kitchen table!!! So funny! Oh, and the tape had my name on it. :)
As it turns out, my Dad told Mary and Leo where the other boxes were! That's why, a few seconds into the search, they were both like, "Oh, here's mine!" Haha. This just means Mike and I will have to host Easter next year and I'll have to one-up my Daddy. :)

Big libraries on Kindle 3?
View Single Post
Posts: 1,342
Karma: 2590360
Join Date: Dec 2004
Location: Paradise (Key West, FL)
Device: Current:Dell Venue 8 Pro - Retired:Kindle 3, Clie UX50, T415, ...
I have what I consider a "big" library (~500 titles, its an addiction) on my K3, but not a "massive" library of several thousand. My previous device, a Sony Clie UX50, generally had 50-80 titles on it for most of the 8 years or so that it served as my primary ebook reader.
I generally keep a stack of titles in a "waiting to be read" pile. With the old UX50, I didn't load more than 100 on the device, holding the rest on my PC. When I got my K3 I simply moved the files from the UX50 and added the whole waiting folder from the PC (at my age I'll be lucky to live long enough to read the 500 or so already on my K3, much less the ones I'll undoubtably add as time goes by...). When I've finished reading a book I generally delete it. I don't keep many titles on my device that I've read, typically only ones that are part of a series that I may need to refer back to when reading the subsequent volumes. I keep backups on my PC for re-reading if the desire should occur. I have a rather large number of titles (book length and short works) archived on my PC
With the K3, I use the new "Collections" to provide some sanity when dealing with large libraries. I have collections arranged by genre, by type/length, and have a "short list" collection for queuing up the next few to be read. By not using a folder based collection system, the K3 allows the flexibility of placing the same book into multiple collections. I have some books in "SF & F" (Science Fiction & Fantasy), "Short Story", and "Short List" at the same time.

Red Carpet Buzz: Agyness Deyn
The model's APW ensemble strikes a chord

The stellar lineup at this year's All Points West included Jay-Z, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Vampire Weekend, Coldplay, MGMT, and plenty of other A-list acts—and we were as anxious to witness the fashions of festival-goers offstage as we were the performances. The Carrera Sunglasses & Columbia Records APW after-party, held at NYC's Cooper Square Hotel, was attended by the likes of Alexander Wang, the Ting Tings, and Agyness Deyn, who covered up an all-black outfit with a psychedelic topper.

Hands up if your mum made meatloaf when you were a kid? Yep, mine did. She used a clear Pyrex loaf pan and put it into the little mini oven-toaster. My mum also had this mysterious blend of ingredients she put into it, including tomato sauce, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. I know because I watched her put them in.
Do you have a secret ingredient for your meatloaf? Is the secret half pork, half beef mince? Is the secret in the sauce or glaze you make for it? Don't worry if you don't have your own version because we have loads of meatloaf recipes to try in our Kidspot Kitchen meatloaf category - I kid you not! Click here and see for yourself.
But why meatloaf? Because mince is cheap, it's easy to make and it's cooking in the oven while you make the side dishes. My mum used to serve it with rice and salad - YUM, the memories :-)
Happy cooking!

Mop Tops in Action #2
The Mop Tops cross the road
|your thoughts:

An alternate take! With Paul wearing sneaks, is it? Far out.
The license plate on the white Volkswagen was 28IF. Some said it was another clue in the "Paul is Dead" hoax, that he would have been 28 "if" he had lived.
And even their procession across the road was alleged to be a clue.
Lennon, in a white suit, was seen as some type of hippie minister. Ringo, dressed in a hip funeral director's finest. Paul, in a business suit, was the deceased. There was speculation whether it was an English custom to bury their dead sans shoes, hence, his barefootedness. And Harrison, all in denim, was the gravedigger.
You can't make this stuff up.
Well, I guess you can.

I don't think those are sneakers, they didn't look like trainers back then. More likely they are shower sandals or Dr. Scholl's for men, meaning he intended to take them off eventually so this was a practice run (walk).

Another take or an upside-down negative?
(Interesting commentaries about the Beatles cloths of the photographs, though)
- April 18, 2009 8:50 AM

Definitely sandals on Paul...and I've seen a number of different outtake photos from this legendary shoot. I forget which Beatles book features them...maybe that giant Anthology companion.
Not to mention the National Lampoon all-Beatles issue where they're splattered flat on the pavement, as if a steamroller had just gone by...

If you people would just listen to "Revolution #9" backward, you'd know what was really going on.

So on the original cover they were just off to retrieve Paul's shoes?
Now everything makes sense.
- April 18, 2009 3:56 PM

"Revolution #9" played backwards is available for streaming or downloading on the Internet.
R9 was experimental and some of its sounds are actually being played backwards. So when you play R9 backwards, you can hear these sounds played forward, that is, normally.
It's common knowledge that John can be heard chanting "Turn me on, dead man," when R9 is played backwards. Also a crowd chanting "No more war, no more war."

They were sandals. It was a hot day and McCartney decided to take them off. Rolling Stone interview, 1974:
But, as one blog points out, if it was a hot day, wouldn't walking barefoot on the tarmac be even hotter?
This stuff can drive you nuts.

I think the Beatles were perfectly aware how overreactive the fans were.
So they must have started for fun some games of that sort which are still played on years after the dismantling of the band.
Now it's out of reach... ;)

Number 9 backwards sounds like "Nyanderman" which can sort of be extrapolated to "Turn me on dead man." Sort of like how the gibberish in the endless groove of Sgt. Pepper's sounds like "We'll fuck you like Supermen."
As for the chanting, I thought it was some sort of football (soccer) chant?
Take this brother, may it serve you well.

"Also a crowd chanting 'No more war, no more war.'"
Um, this is actually a readily available sound effect of football crowd chants. "Block that kick!" shows up around 5:05; "Hold that line… block that kick… " starts about 7:46 in. "On the 30… " pops up around 3:52 or so, as I recall.
"It's common knowledge that John can be heard chanting "Turn me on, dead man," when R9 is played backwards."
Um, no.
Here, let's let Richard Lush tell the tale, as he was the engineer on 6/20/68 when it all went down:
"Lennon was trying to do really different things… we had to get a whole load of tapes out of the library and the 'number nine' voice came off an examination tape. John thought that was a real hoot! He made a loop of just that bit and had it playing constantly on one machine, fading it in or out when he wanted it, along with the backwards orchestra stuff and everything else."
Stuart Eltham (he'd worked on the occasional Beatles session since '63) adds, "Abbey Road used to do taped examinations for the Royal Academy of Music. The tapes aren't around now."
Me? I like George Martin (around 2:21) requesting that "Geoff [Emerick]… put the red light on" (from another session, obviously). And Lennon (4:53) "So the wife called, and we better go to see a surgeon, but what with the prices and all, the prices have snow balled, it's so absurd, yeah, no wonder they're closed."
*Obviously* referring to Coleman. Ray is a dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him.

This may be the most detailed examination of that landmark in the history of album filler, 'Revolution 9' there's ever been . . . outside of the Manson trial, that is.

The recently discovered pristine mono mix of "Revolution 1" (Take 20) which runs an excruciating 10:46 is in some ways an even more painful listen than "Revolution 9"—if that's possible!
But why take my word for it, when you can judge for yourself (and share the pain):

"It's common knowledge that John can be heard chanting "Turn me on, dead man," when R9 is played backwards."
Um, no.Um, yes.
Nothing quoted after "um, no" refuted my assertions.
Sources were cited, pertaining to the how and why of the making of Revolution 9, that in no way supported contradiction of my assertion of "common knowledge" or my interpretation (open to disagreement, of course) that the chant was "No more war." It was a tangent. Interesting to read, yes, but something of a non sequitor as a rebuttal.
Information about the "Paul Is Dead" hoax has only been out there for over forty years and is now easier than ever to access (with varying degrees of validity) on the Internet.
As a quick example, do a Google search of "turn me on, dead man" and you'll get a full page of hits, most of them relating to Revolution 9. Even Scientific American has attempted to address the issue. There are also a number of sites devoted to the "Paul Is Dead" hoax and the "turn me on, dead man" clue is a mainstay.
Personally, I first heard about all this when I was a child and it was in the news. I have a pdf of a 1969 New York Times article entitled: "No, No, No, Paul McCartney Is Not Dead." I would dare say that, in my experience, most serious Beatles fans have at least some awareness of the "Paul Is Dead" hoax.
As for my interpretation of the chant as "No More War," according to the version I heard, that's what it sounded like. Another post on here thought "turn me on, dead man" sounded like "nyanderman," at first. Maybe others have a better ear for gibberish.
But I've now found that YouTube has a backward version of R9 played against a black screen with white captions of the dialogue and sound effects, sort of a Cliff Notes to "Revolution 9" played backwards. I'm sure this would prove helpful.
Emerick, essential and terrific reading that he is, offers us an inside look at the tensions created by John's (and Yoko's) insistence that Revolution 9 was "the direction the Beatles should be going in," that it should be their next single, and that John and Paul were said to have had a terrible "row" over it.
But there's nothing there about the points I raised. Certainly no analysis of the backward masking of the tape or about the "Paul Is Dead" controversy.
*Obviously* referring to Coleman. Ray is a dead man, miss him, miss him, miss him.Cute.
The assertions I made in this post were either mine, alone, or taken from sources other than Coleman. I don't understand the sarcasm about Coleman except that I seem to have gotten someone's goat while using him as a definitive source of essential bits of information otherwise known as "facts."

Gentlemen, please. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, but I would only ask that we be civil. I mean, this is 'Revolution 9' we're talking about here, after all; a piece that's only memorable for its effect on how one experiences the rest of The beatles (I mean, would 'Good Night' be as chilling as it is if it had been preceded by, say, 'Dear Prudence'?). Separate it out and what you have is a somewhat paint-by-numbers article of avant-garde tomfoolery (the fundamental solemnity of the thing is what kills it, y'ask me).
Which is all beside the point. I just wanted to head-off any ugliness in this exchange before it got started.
We now return you to our comment thread; already in progress.

We're all about love here in the Sound Department.
Tommy O'C, "hold that line" and "block that kick" originate from the "College Cheers" track on:
Authentic Sound Effects Vol. 10: Sound Effects
Elektra EKL 260 (Mono)
EKS 7260 (Stereo)
The album was released in 1964. Richard Lush believes "College Cheers" was chosen for inclusion mostly because it was the first track up. I think John also made use of the "Football Game" effects track for "Revolution 9" but I don't have the Elektra album handy, at the moment, to check it out.
Anyway, sorry if I said anything to make anyone unhappy.
But try *not* tapping your toe to, "So anyhow, he went to see the dentist instead who gave him a pair of teeth, which wasn't any good at all."
Ooh, chills!

Wellllll . . . the image did bring forth some of those fruitcake 'Paul is dead' theories, of which 'Revolution 9' is an oft-cited resource.
Besides, there are no rules governing the trajectory of discussions here (apart from 'Play nice, chillens'). If a flurry of comments on, say, Ray Price's 1966 recording of 'Danny Boy' emerged from this, you wouldn't hear me squawk none . . . though I might wonder how that thing generated any commentary at all.

"Who's the most viewtiful hero around? That's right, yours truly!"
Joe transforms himself into the invincible superhero, Viewtiful Joe, and battles enemies to save Movieland, a place of movies. He expertly manipulates VFX Power, a super ability which contains camera tricks such as Slow Motion and Zoom. With these amazingly beautiful tricks, he thrashes his enemies "viewtifully."
Viewtiful Joe originated in the 2D side-scrolling game series of the same name. The game's story concerns Joe, an avid movie-goer whose girlfriend Silvia is kidnapped during a film starring Joe's favorite superhero, Captain Blue. Joe is shortly thereafter thrust into Movieland, where Silvia is taken by the villainous group known as Jadow. After accepting a special V-Watch from Captain Blue, Joe transforms into the tokusatsu-style persona "Viewtiful Joe" and sets out to rescue her.
A fairly good character for beginners, Joe is a speedy character who can apply pressure at range and up close. His projectiles are versatile and his melee attacks are very quick. Though he tends to lack range thanks to his short limbs, he has the mobility to get in when he needs to and can pull off his simple but effective combos. Unfortunately, Joe is a show stealer and has trouble supporting his partner which makes him almost exclusively a point character.
Defensive power:
Offensive power:
Approach strength:
Combo ability:
Meter Usage:
Key Techniques:
Partner Options:]]>
Joe's Voomerang sports a thick hitbox and travels fairly slowly across the screen. While not exactly damaging, the Voomerang is critical to Joe's keepaway game. This projectile can be used in the air and will completely cancel out his aerial momentum and cause him to drop float slowly downwards, which means that if Joe jumps and immediately throws a Voomerang, the lag can be completely canceled by his landing, allowing him to throw Voomerangs rapidly in order to pressure the opponent with a constant barrage of ground- level projectiles. The light version goes straight while the mid version travel forward a short distance before going up (down if Joe is in the air) and the strong version goes forward a short distance before curving around and going backwards. This attack can also be charged infinitely before release. Charging will allow the projectile to gain some homing and multi-hit properties. A fully charged Voomerang will home in on the opponent and pester them for about 2-3 hits. While it doesn't combo, a charged Voomerang is very useful for pressuring the opponent after a knockdown.
A speedy kick in the air that rockets Joe across the screen to strike the opponent. The Red Hot Kick allows him to have surprising mobility, crossing the screen instantly or making the transition from ground to air faster than simply falling. The light version of this attack causes Joe to go straight down, the mid version causes him to go diagonally down and the strong version is straight ahead. The real beef of this attack however is that when hit by the Red Hot Kick, an airborne opponent will go into a complete free fall, making this an amazing way to end air raves into Delayed Hyper Combos with the right partner. Air Red Hot Kick into a DHC with Tekkaman's Daikaiten Space Lance super will do some serious damage for only 2 meter (or 3 if you were using Joe's Mach Speed to launch).
Joe kicks out one of his trademark V-bombs which hangs about on the stage for a moment before exploding and damaging anyone standing near it, including Joe himself. This attack is a bit hit-and-miss, but with careful use it can be an asset to Joe's pressure game. The light version explodes almost immediately, the mid version takes longer to explode and the strong version takes the longest. When struck by the bomb, a character is sent flying into the air into a knockdown. There are a few ways for Joe to get the bomb over to his opponent without risking damage himself. One method is to hold the attack button, which causes Joe to bounce the bomb on his foot for a moment before dropping it. Releasing the button at the apex of the bounce will shoot the bomb out towards the opponent. Joe can also attack the bomb to make it bounce over to the opponent, though the opponent can also do the same. Another effective way to transport the bomb is to throw a Voomerang at it. The projectile will carry the bomb over to the opponent's side although this is fairly gimmicky and unreliable as a setup. Because it's a self-inflicted hit, Joe can use the bomb to give himself chip baroque if he blocks it, which is always good if used tactically.
Joe delivers an aerial beatdown on the opponent with a flurry of close-range punches and kicks. Can only be performed on the air, but like the Voomerang it will change his aerial momentum, causing him to float slowly downwards when it activates. All versions are the same, and mashing the attack button will cause him to prolong the attack until he reaches the ground or misses the opponent. The hits drag the opponent down slightly, allowing Joe to rack up quite a lot of hits before they slip out of the combo. Just like the Voomerang, this attack can also be done right at the start of a jump in order to quickly pressure the opponent at close range. It's possible for Joe to combo from it if it's used in this manner which makes it very useful for mix-ups.]]>
Joe takes out his Six Machine (with Sylvia in tow) and converts it to a huge cannon which then fires at the opponent after a long pause. Very powerful but also very slow. On the ground it fires straight ahead, in the air it fires diagonally down. Six Cannon's slow startup time is it's one crippling weakness. Since it's a single-hit projectile, it's great for damage because it doesn't scale much, but landing it is another story entirely. With the right partner it's possible to combo into the six cannon. A Polymar or Tekkaman assist will allow it to land raw, and other characters such as Jun the Swan or Casshern can help it hit as a Hyper Combination. Joe generally has better ways to spend 1 meter though.
Joe enters his high-speed mode and a movie reel appears on the screen. He does one quick punch and if it hits he then goes on to pummel the opponent with a flurry of jabs, ending with an uppercut that can be treated as a launcher. Despite being very weak for a super, Mach Speed can be used to launch the opponent for damage at the end of a ground combo. It's also useful in Delayed Hyper Combos and can allow slower grab supers to be comboed into (such as those belonging to Frank West or Polymar.) as well as other close-range supers.
Joe activates the 'slow and zoom' mode, kicking the opponent once to enrage them, dodging their punch and then countering with two hits and a heart-stopping viewtiful pose, sending the opponent flying VERY high into the air. The startup is quite quick but not instant, and Joe has invulnerability during the initial attack. Since Joe relies on air combos to deal a lot of his damage, sometimes it may be better to combo into this level 3 to finish off an opponent before they can mega crash out of Joe's combo. It does somewhat poor damage for 3 meter, but it's possible to juggle afterwards with a well-timed air combo or even his level 1 Six cannon super for an amusing finish for 4 meter. Worth considering as an ace in the hole when Joe's partner is down for the count.]]>
Joe will drop a H version of his Shocking Pink. All properties remain the same.]]>

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The IPO market has kicked into high gear this week with deals ranging from $90 million to above $600 million making debuts. These freshly minted public companies cover a broad spectrum of industries, from the high tech smart board company SMART Tech to old school coal producer Oxford Resources Partners. There's even a relisting of a private equity pioneer thrown in for good measure. But while the influx of offerings is good news for investment banks raking in fees and the companies themselves, investors haven't done so well with IPOs in the past year. The Renaissance Capital IPO Index is down 3.5% year-to-date and delivered a negative return of 8.3% through the end of the second quarter. In its quarterly analysis of the IPO market, Renaissance Capital noted conditions were returning "to more normalized issuance levels" with 60 new IPOs added to the index in the first half of 2010 alone. The best performance was turned in by telecom companies and the worst performers were financial companies. Independent IPO Analyst Francis Gaskins breaks down each offering coming to market this week, including two making their debut on Thursday). There are pros and cons for each company and the biggest isn't necessarily the best. Investors should always ask themselves "Why is the company going public?" The answer usually foretells whether it will be a good deal or not.

ESSEX Police teamed up with Lakeside Shopping Centre to launch this year's Operation Christmas Presence earlier today.
The operation will see officers working with the West Thurrock shopping centre's security staff to ensure shoppers have an enjoyable and crime-free experience at Lakeside over the festive period.
There will be increased patrols of the centre and its car parks, including officers on push bikes and motorcycles circling the centre's 15 outdoor car parks.
Sergeant Chris Hay, who leads the policing team at Lakeside, said: "Every day we work in close partnership with Lakeside, so it is only natural we step this up at the busiest time of year.
"Lakeside is and always has been a safe place to shop, and with the additional police resources in place through Operation Christmas Presence, we can not only reassure shoppers of this safety, but also send out a robust message to criminals that they are not welcome here."
Operation Christmas Presence has been used by Essex Police at Lakeside since 2008.

Very pretty piece.
By KikiDEE
from Southwestern Ontario
I too love the detail on this piece. It is very delicate. I had it slip off once too but I like it so much I am willing to take a chance. I got the amethyst and it is a very good colour. I sure hope I don't lose it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So sad, may have to return
By Marie
from toronto
I love this charm necklace, gorgeous detail in feather....( wing) so much detail and attention but I am not sure if I am keeping this one. The blue topaz is so gorgeous, saturated color and silver setting so well done for size of charm. My only concern is that while wearing it the bar slipped through toggle and necklace fell several times....I caught it before I lost the whole thing.......it seems either bar is too short in length for circle, it's a great concept, nice to have toggle in front, love the charms and detail throughout the necklace.....
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
By KTC
from Toronto
very pretty, exactly as pictured but the chain is too delicate and the toggle is cool but problematic. i too worry that i may lose it so i'm just going to buy new, heavier chain, and sort of redesign this for myself, so that's why only 3 stars from me. i recommend it, but only to people who are ok with maybe having to make a few alterations
By Cathrine
from Mississauga
I really love the necklace and was a little disappointed when I received it. I thought it would have been heavier. The toggle is too short and it has fallen off a couple of times and I am considering returning it.

Charlie Sheen, Brooke Mueller got married
While Denise Richards is subverting intelligent discourse in America with her new E! celebreality show It's Complicated, ex-husband Charlie Sheen has moved on with his life by marrying a third wife, real estate investor Brooke Mueller. And yes, we know it happened Friday night, but really, it's Charlie Sheen -- the world could wait.
Anyway, publicist Stan Rosenfield confirmed the couple got hitched, but didn't share any more details (it was a small ceremony at a private estate, the Internet says), likely because Chuck was concerned Richards would try to hunt him down and beat him and Brooke. Then again, she did tell the Valentine in the Morning radio show she'd send them a gift.
"(I'll send) something from the girls," Richards said, meaning daughters Sam, 4, and Lola Rose, 2. "At the end of the day, he's their dad. They have to understand that."
Sheen and Mueller had been engaged since last summer, which is a decade in celebrity terms. Rumor has it Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon hadn't even met yet when they got married. True story!
[Photo: AP]
And this has nothing to do with anything, but this clip from It's Complicated shows Denise telling off Lycia Naff, who, if you've done your homework (like WWTDD.com has), you'll remember as the three-breasted mutant from Total Recall. Lycia also has worked for People, the Miami Herald and the National Enquirer, which, combined with the smirk she gives Denise, makes her someone Mrs. Juice* should be worried about.

This week activity in Mid Cap equity centered ETFs has picked up dramatically, as we have witnessed significant creation activity (asset inflows) in a few notable funds.
The iShares MidCap400 (IJH) has reeled in nearly $1 billion in new assets just this week, and trading volume has been incredible, with one single day trading day on Tuesday of 15 million shares (versus average daily volume of 889,000 shares).
Similarly, SPDR Mid S&P Mid Cap 400 (MDY) has also seen a spike in trading activity and has attracted at least $200 million in new assets.
We do believe however that the IJH activity is a large accumulation of shares by a Registered Investment Advisor as opposed to market making/hedging activity.
Thus, the MDY volume spike, because both ETFs track the same MidCap400 Index is likely hedgers offsetting short basket positions at the time of the large IJH trades several days ago, and any uptick in options interest in either IJH or MDY is likely much of the same.
IJH debuted in June of 2000 while MDY launched way back in May of 1995 as truly one of the "pioneers" of the ETF industry. Head to head since inception however, even though these two funds track the same underlying index, IJH has outgained MDY (+120.12% versus +116.98%) which over time, is some impressive and demonstrable "recapture" of basis points over time to the underlying benchmark.
This live performance history, coupled with the fact that IJH sports a 20 bps expense ratio to investors versus MDY's 25 basis point expense ratio, has provided the impetus for RIA and institutional investors alike to transition their mid cap equity allocations away from MDY to some degree and into IJH. The evidence is noted in that IJH is now the largest mid cap equity ETF in the space, with $11.8 billion in AUM compared to MDY's $9.6 billion in AUM.

It occurred to me - skimming through the current Forum Party thread - that although most party attendees have photos taken of them at aforementioned event, the rest of us are simply names. So this will be an old-fashioned photo thread, post whatever pictures of yourself you'd like so the PD community can see who you actually are...
And this thread applies to everyone (even those who have attended the forum parties). If you have a photo of yourself on your computer somewhere and it's not implicating yourself in some illegal acts, post it.
I'll start it off (I'm only posting quick pics from my iSight)...
Taken just a few minutes ago for this very thread (and me being a smartass throwing up the '3' signs like Jack does after he hits a three, don't hate).

Summer is here! It's time to enjoy refreshing drinks on the patio with friends. I absolutely love mixing up delicious cocktails for backyard dinner parties and celebrations. Add some cute drink stirrers or drink flags for a little extra decoration. Another favorite tip? Freeze lemonade or other fruit juices in ice trays instead of plain ice cubes for a colorful splash that won't water down your drinks.
Here are some of my favorite Summer Sip recipes!
Makes 8 cups
1 (750-milliliter) bottle white wine
1 cup peach schnapps
1/2 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 nectarines, sliced
1 cup green or red grapes, whole or sliced
Combine all ingredients in a large pitcher. Cover and chill at least 2 hours or overnight. Stir before serving.

Hi there!
You may file a Notice of Withdrawing Motion. Generally, you would state the title of the Motion you are Withdrawing...So, if your Motion were titled "Motion to Stay an Execution of Judgment", the you title it "Notice of Withdrawing Motion to Stay an Execution of Judgment". In the body of the Notice of Withdrawing Motion, you may state the specifics (eg. Plaintiff withdraws his Motion to Stay an Execution, filed on December 3, 2012 as the issue is now moot....)
***sorry, I should have stated "then you may title it" and not "the you title it"
So, basically it is the same procedure as filing the Motion, only now you are giving "Notice" that you are withdrawing the Motion.
You would file and serve it on the other party the same as you did the Motion itself. Typically, file the Notice of Withdrawing with the Court and Mail a copy to the other party.
Please let me know if you need any clarification or have any additional questions. Otherwise, please Accept and Rate my answer. Thank you and Good Luck!

Hey, Remember Paris Hilton? She's In A Bikini
I don't even know if Paris Hilton counts as a celebrity anymore, but let's not get caught up in who or what belongs on the site. Just this morning, I posted about two people who've accomplished absolutely nothing except fall out of the same vagina as Kim Kardashian and without even coming from the same sperm. There's no bar anymore. The bar is a myth.

Good Call
But what's next?
Stock Barometer Analysis
The barometer remains in Sell Mode.
The Stock Barometer is my proprietary market timing system. The direction, slope and level of the Stock Barometer determine our outlook. For example, if the barometer line is moving down, we are in Sell Mode. A Buy or Sell Signal is triggered when the indicator clearly changes direction.
Stock Barometer Cycle Time
Today is day 8 in our down cycle.
The Stock Barometer signals follow 5, 8, 13, 21 and sometimes 34 day Fibonacci cycles that balance with 'normal' market cycles. Knowing where you are in the current market cycle is important in deciding how long you expect to maintain a position.
Potential Cycle Reversal Dates
2008 Potential Reversal Dates: 12/31, 1/11, 2/1, 2/13, 3/6, 4/5, 4/22, 5/23, 6/6, 6/27, 7/13, 9/2. We publish these dates up to 2 months in advance.
I think 7/13 will work its way into a retest of the lows.
My Additional timing work is based on numerous cycles and has resulted in the above potential reversal dates. These are not to be confused with the barometer signals or cycle times. However, due to their past accuracy I post the dates here.
2007 Potential Reversal Dates: 1/10, 1/14, 1/27, 1/31, 2/3, 2/17, 3/10, 3/24, 4/21, 5/6, 6/15, 8/29, 10/19, 11/29, 12/13, 12/23, 12/31, 1/11/08. 2006 potential reversal dates: 1/16, 1/30, 2/25, 3/19, 4/8, 5/8, 5/19, 6/6(20), 7/24, 8/20, 8/29, 9/15, 10/11, 11/28. 2005 Potential reversal dates based on 'other' cycle work were 12/27, 1/25, 2/16, 3/4, 3/14, 3/29, 4/5, 4/19, 5/2, 6/3, 6/10, 7/13, 7/28, 8/12, 8/30-31, 9/22, 10/4, 11/15, 11/20, 12/16.
The following work is based on my spread/momentum indicators for the QQQQ, GLD, USD, USO and TLT. They are tuned to deliver signals in line with the Stock Barometer and we use them only in determining our overall outlook for the market and for pinpointing market reversals. The level, direction, and position to the zero line are keys in these indicators. For example, direction determines mode and a buy signal 'above zero' is more bullish than a buy signal 'below zero'.
QQQQ Spread Indicator (NASDAQ:QQQQ)
The QQQQ Spread Indicator will yield its own buy and sell signals that may be different from the Stock Barometer. It's meant to give us an idea of the next turn in the market.
Gold Spread Indicator (AMEX:GLD)
To trade Gold, utilize the Gold ETF AMEX:GLD. This gives us a general gage to the overall health of the US Economy and the markets, as well as to assists us in the entry of positions in our stock trading service.
US Dollar Index Spread Indicator (INDEX:DXY)
To trade the US Dollar, I'd utilize the Power Shares AMEX:UUP: US Dollar Index Bullish Fund and AMEX:UDN: US Dollar Index Bearish Fund.
Bonds Spread Indicator (AMEX:TLT)
To trade Bonds, I recommend Lehman's 20 year ETF AMEX:TLT. Note that the direction of bonds can have an impact on the stock market. Normally, as bonds go down, stocks will go up and as bonds go up, stocks will go down.
OIL Spread Indicator (AMEX:USO)
To trade OIL, utilize AMEX:USO, the OIL ETF. We look at the price of oil as its level and direction can have an impact on the stock market.
Supporting Secondary Indicator
I monitor over a hundred technical indicators, some that are widely followed and some that are proprietary. These indicators break down the market internals, sentiment and money flow and give us unique insight into the market. I feature at least one here each day in support of our current outlook - and to give you an education on what professional traders utilize.
Summary of Daily Outlook
We remain in Sell Mode, looking for the markets to continue to bottom here.
Our call for the market to need morning action like Tuesdays in order to rally was right on. Now that we have the initial bounce, we're likely to see some backing and filling as I can tell you right here, that this is a significant bottom and that the market will be higher in 1 to 2 months.
Based on the iibbr above, you can see that on a sentiment basis, we are at a significant bottom. For you long term investors, if you've been saving cash, now is the time to put it to work. I know I will...
One thing we'll be looking for in the coming weeks is the efficiency of the move. Meaning, if the market sentiment becomes too bullish, too fast, we can easily come back down and test these lows after our call for a September top. What concerns me even more is the last significant September top (2001) took the market down for the following 10 months into a July/October 2002 bottom. That was the most painful period I personally ever experienced in the market. And if it ever happens again, I will definitely start up a short only service - because that'll be the best place to make money in the months that follow.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Weaker than expected earnings per share, revenue misses or lowered forward guidance from retailers is a warning for the U.S. economy as nine stocks from the retail-wholesale sector were sent to the woodshed between Thanksgiving eve and Christmas eve. This post covers the biggest losers and six of nine traded down by double-digit percentages led by salon products retailer Ulta Salon (ULTA) down 26.5% followed by the specialty retailer of women's and men's apparel Express (EXPR) down 25.9%.
In my earlier post today I covered the winners and only three outperformed the S&P 500 since Thanksgiving.
The five major equity averages set new all-time or multi-year intra-day highs on Christmas eve. Unfortunately, it's obvious that a rising tide no longer lifts all boats as eight buy rated stocks from the retail-wholesale sector sank as the stock market rose.
The new all-time or multi-year intra-day highs are 16,360.60 Dow Industrials vs. its weekly risky level at 16,365. The new high for S&P 500 is 1833.32 vs. its weekly pivot at 1831.8. The new high for the Nasdaq is 4155.62. The new high for Dow transports is 7344.88 vs. its weekly pivot at 7338. The new high for the Russell 2000 is 1163.67 vs. its quarterly risky level at 1163.21.
Fundamentally 85.6% of all stocks are overvalued with 59.1% overvalued by 20% or more. All 16 sectors are overvalued, 15 by double-digit percentages. We show 13 sectors overvalued by 22.9% to 43.3%.
Aeropostale (ARO) ($9.01 vs. $9.84 on Nov. 27 down 8.4%) the retailer of casual apparel for teenagers has a hold rating is 214.7% overvalued with a loss of 31.2% over the last 12 months and is below its 200-day simple moving average at $11.93. The teen retailer has a negative weekly chart profile and is below its five-week modified moving average at $9.11 and its 200-week SMA at $18.12, and set a multi-year intra-day low at $7.78 on Sept. 4. My weekly value level is $8.80 with a monthly risky level at $9.88.
Big Lots (BIG) ($31.57 vs. $38.34 on Nov. 27 down 17.7%) the retailer of closeout merchandise and toys has a buy rating is 12.5% overvalued with a gain of 10.6% over the last 12 months and is below its 200-day SMA at $35.51. Big Lots has a negative weekly chart profile and is below its five-week MMA at $33.82 and its 200-week SMA at $35.40 and traded as low as $30.22 on Dec. 10. My weekly pivot is $32.46 with a quarterly risky level at $36.41.
Barnes & Noble (BKS) ($14.57 vs. $16.69 on Nov. 27 down 12.7%) the retailer of books and the Nook has a buy rating is 0.7% undervalued with a loss of 3% over the last 12 months and is below its 200-day SMA at $16.62. The book seller has a negative weekly chart profile and is below its five-week MMA at $14.80 and its 200-week SMA at $15.30 and traded to a recent low at $13.40 on Dec. 11. My annual value level is $14.33 with a weekly risky level at $15.23 and monthly risky level at $16.60.

'Jeeves Intervenes' With Style at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre
Theater Review
Bertie finds himself
in a bit of a bind when Aunt Agatha (Milwaukee Rep resident actress Laura
Gordon in a comically tyrannical turn) finds a woman who is keen to marry
Bertie. The woman in question is the confident, intellectual Gertrude (played
with charm and poise by Alison Mary Forbes). As Bertie would rather not be married,
he turns to Jeeves for help. Jeeves is also challenged to help Bertie's old
schoolmate Eustace (nice guy Rick Pendzich) prove to his uncle that he's
supporting himself quite well and doesn't need to be sent to India to become a
man. Seasoned Rep resident actor Peter Silbert plays Eustace's uncle.
The ensemble creates
beautiful balance, with three pairs of actors playing brilliantly off of each
other. Silbert and Gordon make for comic authority figures; Pendzich and Forbes
play up an unlikely romantic connection; and, meanwhile, Daniels and Klopatek
are opposites at the center of it all.
Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's production of Jeeves Intervenes runs through Aug. 29 at the Broadway Theatre Center's Cabot Theatre.

Japan Finally Admits The Truth: "Right Now, We Have An Emergency At Fukushima"
by Tyler Durden
Tepco is struggling to contain the highly radioactive water that is seeping into the ocean near Fukushima. The head of Japan's NRA, Shinji Kinjo exclaimed, "right now, we have an emergency," as he noted the contaminated groundwater has breached an underground barrier and is rising toward the surface – exceeding the limits of radioactive discharge. In a rather outspoken comment for the typically stoic Japanese, Kinjo said Tepco's "sense of crisis was weak," adding that "this is why you can't just leave it up to Tepco alone" to grapple with the ongoing disaster. As Reuters notes, Tepco has been accused of covering up shortcomings and has been lambasted for its ineptness in the response and while the company says it is taking actions to contain the leaks, Kinjo fears if the water reaches the surface "it would flow extremely fast," with some suggesting as little as three weeks until this critical point.

Postoperative pain management following aesthetic plastic surgery traditionally has been achieved by systemic administration of several narcotic pain medications. Because this method can lead to undesirable side effects such as sedation, nausea, vomiting, and respiratory depression, a more efficacious method of postoperative analgesia with fewer side effects needs to be implemented in outpatient cosmetic surgery.
From March of 2003 until December of 2008, 690 patients underwent augmentation mammaplasty and 215 patients underwent abdominoplasty. All of these patients were equipped with an elastomeric continuous infusion pump postoperatively and were prescribed oral narcotics. Prior to 2003, patients were prescribed only oral narcotics postoperatively. A retrospective chart review of patients before and after implementation of the pain pump was undertaken to review the perceived pain patients experienced postoperatively with and without the pump. The self-administration of oral narcotics was also assessed.
Patients equipped with the pain pump experienced a statistically significant decrease in perceived pain compared to those without the pump (augmentation mammaplasty: 2.27 vs. 3.68, p < 0.05; abdominoplasty: 2.81 vs. 4.32, p < 0.05). Similarly, patients with the pump saw a statistically significant decrease in the use of the oral narcotic Vicodin™ at 72 h postoperatively (5 mg hydrocodone/500 mg acetaminophen, Abbott Laboratories, Abbott Park, IL) (augmentation mammaplasty: 26.5 mg/2650 mg vs. 49 mg/4900 mg, p < 0.01; abdominoplasty: 29.5 mg/2950 mg vs. 56.5 mg/5650 mg, p < 0.01).
The utilization of a continuous-infusion pain pump following augmentation mammaplasty or abdominoplasty is an efficacious method to significantly reduce both the amount of pain patients experience and the quantity of narcotics used postoperatively.

Ketorolac Tromethamine
A pyrrolizine carboxylic acid derivative structurally related to INDOMETHACIN. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent used for analgesia for postoperative pain and inhibits cyclooxygenase activity.
A nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent with potent analgesic and antiarthritic properties. It has been shown to be effective in the treatment of OSTEOARTHRITIS; RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS; ankylosing SPONDYLITIS; and in the alleviation of postoperative pain (PAIN, POSTOPERATIVE).
Analgesia, Patient-controlled
Relief of PAIN, without loss of CONSCIOUSNESS, through ANALGESIC AGENTS administered by the patients. It has been used successfully to control POSTOPERATIVE PAIN, during OBSTETRIC LABOR, after BURNS, and in TERMINAL CARE. The choice of agent, dose, and lockout interval greatly influence effectiveness. The potential for overdose can be minimized by combining small bolus doses with a mandatory interval between successive doses (lockout interval).
Pain, Postoperative
Pain during the period after surgery.
A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.

We know sometimes that's easier said than done, especially if your closest pals are not-so-fitness friendly. If you're looking for a great way to meet new people and find your sweaty soul mate, Black Girls Run (BGR) may be your golden ticket. Toni Carey and Ashley Hicks, the founders of Black Girls Run, began their journey because they were feeling out of shape after their college years. Three years ago this April they decided they wanted to share their journey, and Black Girls Run has been on the move ever since. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), 80 percent of African-American women are overweight. BGR wants to change that, so their mission is to share inspiration and band together to get African American women more involved with health and fitness. But don't worry, they're open to any woman joining, Carey says. "The only ones we're excluding are the boys; they're going to have to find their own club." Sorry, guys! "We want African American women to embrace fitness," Hicks says. "BGR is about making the things you love better for you." BGR's success continues as they now organize and run over 60 running clubs across the country. The groups cover ground from New York all the way to Wisconsin, down to Florida, and most of the major cities in between. If live on the East Coast or in the Midwest, head to their site to find a club near you.
Now tell us: Are you in a run club? What do you love most about them?

Storytelling + Marketing + Powerful Fundraising
By Christina Kelley, Director of Integrated Media Fundraising at CharityAccelerator.org
Story telling is at the core of all marketing. Internet marketing, direct marketing, they all include some kind of story. People want to know why, why should I focus my attention on this cause? Why should I donate to this organization?
Most of the time, this question is not being asked consciously. It is our humanity that evaluates the question why and then makes a decision to either say yes or turn away. The power to capturing attention and loyalty is in the messages being sent. The power is in the story.
All content created for a marketing campaign tells a story. The more truthful the story, the more the story speaks to the heart.
When you tell the story of WHY your organization was created, it comes from a place of truth. That place inside your heart, your experience that caused either you or a group of individuals to take actions and solve a problem.
For example, a friend of mine created SparkRelief.org, a non profit organization that matches people with a need to people who can help. He founded SparkRelief.org because he lives in an area where fires often cause evacuations. When someone is forced to leave their home as a fire is close by, the state of panic, threaten and worry kicks in. They often feel as if there are no options and don't know where to turn for shelter. My friend is compassionate and empathic, and he wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. He saw a need, and created an algorithm for others who want to help and have resources. His organization and the algorithm may not speak to the heart. Perhaps if you saw it, you may just think "its just another organization out there". But when you hear the story, it becomes real and hits that place of your heart where you can relate. Perhaps one time you need help and someone gave to you. Or maybe you saw a need for someone else and gave something you had to fulfill the need of others, and they were grateful beyond belief. The story is what lands in the heart of the audience and makes the cause real.
We want to hear from you! What is your story? What are some ways you convey your story to the public?
