Burger King's first Tweet today following the hijacking was "Interesting day here at BURGER KING, but we're back! Welcome to our new followers. Hope you all stick around."
Yesterday's hackers put up the McDonalds logo and sent out messages for over an hour, before the account was shut down by Twitter.
The hackers told Burger King's 89,000-plus followers that the company had "just got sold to McDonald's because the whopper flopped".
Further posts on the account contained racial slurs, obscenities and references to drug use. No one has admitted to being behind the stunt but the hacking group Anonymous tweeted about the incident extensively.
A Burger King spokesman said: "We apologise to our followers who have been receiving erroneous tweets about other members of our industry and additional inappropriate topics."
Before the hacking, the Burger King Twitter feed had 89,000 followers, which has now grown to over 110,000.
McDonald's posted a message on its own Twitter feed which read: "We empathise with our @BurgerKing counterparts. Rest assured, we had nothing to do with the hacking."
The incident is similar to the messages sent out by a HMV employee after the struggling retailer fell into administration.Follow @johnreynolds10

anxious about the DBs |
30-day trial
The Texas Tech secondary, with 46 combined starts returning from last season's
squad, could be a team strength this season. The only thing standing in the way
is the lack of a clear-cut No. 2 corner and unproven depth up and down the
defensive backfield.
The coaching staff did what it could to help out the secondary during the
offseason with the addition of cornerbacks Bruce Jones,
Olaoluwa Falemi and
Austin Stewart from the junior college ranks plus a few
freshman players who could potentially help out immediately.
Tech can also hope that
Tre' Porter is ready to make an impact after
missing five games last season due to a head injury. Derrick Mays and
Jarvis Phillips return after making a handful of starts in 2011, and
Jeremy Reynolds had a very solid spring.
Terrance Bullitt said. "We've added depth and those guys have looked
good this summer."
That being said, the Red Raiders will really be counting on senior safeties
Cody Davis and D.J. Johnson to help over the top and the team
needs both players to go injury free throughout the season. Both are solid
football players -- Davis is the NCAA's active career-leader in solo tackles --
but the team will need them to be difference makers this season.
Behind Davis and Johnson, the Red Raiders have viable options between Porter,
Stewart and J.J. Gaines. Freshman athlete Keenon Ward has been
assigned to the defensive backfield, but he won't be ready to contribute this
[ More RRS:
No need to worry about the safeties ]
At cornerback, Cornelius Douglas is Tech's clear No. 1 option. He
started out last season as a receiver but was converted over as attrition hit
the secondary depth as bad as injuries hampered the Red Raiders' running game.
Douglas, who was recruited out of high school as a defensive back by some
programs, has committed himself to learning the cornerback position. He
dramatically improved his body for the position over the offseason and had a
good spring.
Who will line up at the other cornerback spot is a huge question. Jones or
Falemi will get a good look this fall, as none of the returning players made a
definitive case during the spring.
Behind those three cornerbacks the Red Raiders will be counting on a combination
of Happiness Osunde, Mays, Phillips and Reynolds to round out depth
plus maybe freshman
La'Darius Newbold, although
Newbold will likely start out at safety.
Depth isn't ideal in the secondary, but Tech is at a good starting point. As
long as the injury bug doesn't bite too hard, the Red Raiders' defensive
backfield should be expected to show improvement from last season.
NEW FACES: Both Jones and Falemi should make an impact right
away after transferring from junior colleges. Jones is more polished at this
point, but Falemi may have more upside.
Stewart, another junior college transfer, will be relied upon as a backup this
fall. He's still adjusting to the Division I level, but he could be a major
factor in 2013 and 2014.
[ More RRS:
Not many answers in the defensive backfield ]
Ward could play either receiver or safety, but has been handed over to
first-year secondary coach
John Lovett to bolster depth at safety.
There's a good chance Ward will redshirt.
Newbold rounds out the newcomers, and could conceivably play this season. He has
great athletic ability and very good size, so it will just be a matter of how
quickly he can adjust to playing Big 12 football.
Thierry Nguema joined the team in the spring after greyshirting last
PRESSURE IS ON: Cornelius Douglas. If Douglas isn't an answer
at cornerback -- remember, he's only played a handful of games on defense --
then the Red Raiders are in deep trouble.
BIGGEST QUESTION: Who emerges as the starter at boundary
cornerback? Will it be newcomer Bruce Jones or Olaolua Falemi, or a returning
player like Eugene Neboh? Either way, this is arguably the biggest question mark
of camp for Tech.

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Andrew Bacevich, Professor of International Relations and History at Boston University, for a discussion of the causes and consequences of the militarization of US foreign policy. Bacevich explores the notion that America's role should be that of leader and guarantor of world order that stipulate a global military presence, a global projection of military power, and an interventionist stance toward the global arena. He traces the origins of these ideas, the factors that sustain their existence for more than six decades, and the failure of successive critics to change the discourse. (#19856)

We study the interannual variability of dust storms on Mars in an assimilation of thermal profiles and dust opacity observations into a general circulation model for the Martian atmosphere. The observations have been provided by the thermal emission spectrometer aboard the Mars Global Surveyor spacecraft during the scientific mapping phase over more than two complete Martian years, which include three dusty seasons in southern spring. A comparison between dust seasons which are characterized only by regional storms and the global, planet-encircling dust storm of 2001 is performed, focusing on the meteorological conditions which can trigger the onset and development of the global storm, and its effects on the global circulation.

Mancini chooses Leicester over Man City
Inter Milan coach Roberto Mancini would prefer to see Leicester City win this season's Premier League than Manchester City win the Champions League.
Mancini, who played five times for the Foxes in 2001, led Manchester City to a first league title in 44 years in 2012.
Leicester are five points clear with eight games remaining, while Manchester City have reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time.
"If I could only choose one it would be Leicester," he told BBC Sport.
Mancini and Carlo Ancelotti are the only Italian managers to win the Premier League and the Inter Milan boss hopes Claudio Ranieri can join the club.
"Ranieri is a good man," said Mancini. "He knows football very well. I hope he will be the third Italian to do it. For a team like Leicester to win the Premier League against the biggest teams like Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal, it would be incredible."
In their fifth season in the Champions League, Manchester City have reached the quarter-finals for the first time and have been drawn against Paris St-Germain.
Mancini failed to get out of the group stage in his two attempts as City manager and is not surprised it has taken so long for them to reach the last eight.
"Manchester City have been the best team in the Premier League in the last four or five years but it takes time to be a top club in the Champions League," he said.
"Even if you have good players like City, you still can't win the Champions League after two years."

I love this picture, JC. Thank you.
Wonderful picture!!
They are pretty with their iridescent feathers but they are so noisy and quarrelsome! I've seen them snatch food from out of each other's beaks - even when there was loads more on the ground! They chase all the other birds off too.
Very nice close-up Jim!
He even has some green feathers...
Amazing close up of this starling. Wonderful detail. Thanks, JC. :-)

Langham launches new hotel brand
- Published by Ozgur Tore
Langham Hospitality Group is introducing a new upscale global hotel brand. Essentially a new generation of curated hotels devoted to the guests' needs and well-being, the new brand aptly derives its name from the Latin term meaning "heart." The holistic concept focuses on the core pillars of intuitive service, connectivity, sophistication and a sense of community.
Introducing the new brand; Cordis Hotels and Resorts, Langham Hospitality Group Chief Executive Officer Robert Warman said: "Building on the successes of Langham Hotels and Resorts, we saw the need to create a collection of international upscale hotels and resorts that will deliver what our guests desire: personalized and efficient services, seamless technology, and authentic experiences in the best locations around the world."
"Each Cordis hotel will be individual in style, architecture and design, all of which will be reflective of its location and culture, and tailored to the requirements of our guests, from the corporate travellers to honeymooners to multi-generational families. For example, Cordis Hong Kong, due to welcome its first guests in May 2015, is vibrant, modern, and will feature family-friendly facilities and amenities that will complement its bustling neighbourhood."
The Cordis portfolio will include new built designs, resorts and contemporary residences. According to Warman, the brand will be developed through a combination of new-build and conversion projects in key cities in Asia and North America, with the first hotel expected to fly the Cordis flag this year in Hong Kong. Cordis has already signed management agreements and letters of intent to open eight hotels in seven cities within the next three years; apart from the Hong Kong hotel, the portfolio will include five hotels in China, and one each in Bali (Indonesia,) Colombo (Sri Lanka.) Other cities targeted for future Cordis hotels include London, New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, Dubai, Singapore, and Bangkok.

Release ORCID code as open source NOW
ORCID has always planned to release its source openly (MIT license), but hasn't done it yet. This suggestion is to do it *now*, so that many of us can help fix bugs.
The ORCID open source project is now available. You can read more about it at http://about.orcid.org/blog/2013/02/21/orcid-open-source
19 comments
Mummi commented
Mike T and Mike T - dear fellows, why don't you each get one of them, you know, unique watchamacallit, identifers so the rest of us can see who's who? Damn ambiguity is killing me.
Taylor, Michael (ELS-OXF) commented
And this is me.
(Just for the record, the comment two before this one is by me, Michael P. Taylor the open-access advocate, not Mike Taylor the Elsevier guy.)
Christian Pietsch commented
I am surprised that ORCID sources are not open already. Please do not wait until "the site is stabe".
Having many times made the same coding shortcut as Geoffrey (hardwiring credentials, URLs, etc.) I'm sympathetic to the plea that these need to be factored out into a congfiguration file before the code can be released. We do NOT want a code release that gives away passwords and the like!
That said, it shouldn't be THAT big a deal to fix -- reading the sensitive information from environment variables or similar. I see this as a reason why the code legitimately has not been released yet; but not as a reason to delay more than a day or two more.
Khadijah Britton commented
I agree that there is nothing but good to be gained from opening up the code on GitHub or the like. +1.
Geoffrey Bilder commented
First- FTR, I was involved in the early technical development of ORCID. Having said that, my opinions here are my own and not ORCID's.
I, like most people posting here, think that the earlier ORCID releases the code the better- but not because I am worried about ORCID's commitment to opening the code. I know from experience that the ORCID board was *insistent* that a condition of their accepting the base code from Thomson Reuters (background here-> http://goo.gl/y51aA) was that the code could be open sourced. ORCID probably could have launched the service many months earlier if this hadn't been a pre-condition. The board was absolutely committed to it.
Having said that, I also disagree that opening the code immediately should be the first priority after launch. It isn't just a question of ORCID not being ready to handle community co-development. As many have pointed out, the issues of releasing the code and co-development are entirely separate.
The problem is that releasing the the code does actually require a fair amount of work. ORCID can't just open the existing working Github repo (as has been suggested). For example, they need to have a mechanism for replacing branding, assets, sensitive info (db passwords, encryption salts, etc). And they want to be able to do this automatically and with minimal intervention. In theory, this shouldn't be too hard, but the truth is, in the push to launch the service and due to ORCID's inexperience (read *my* inexperience) developing open source software, a lot of this stuff got hard-wired and so now some work needs to be done to decouple things and make the process of releasing the community code as automatic and efficient as possible. ORCID technical staff is currently *one* person, a few contractors and a handful of volunteers (who's primary role is to give staff & contractors contradictory advice and priorities).
The service has been released for just about a week- it seems entirely reasonable to me that they are focusing on getting the existing service stable, usable and on getting properly staffed *before* turning their attention to refactoring the configuration management code so that they can create a reasonable community release of the system.
Still, I think once the service is stable and they have staff in place to manage the service, they should move as quickly as possible to release the code as per their commitment. I advocate this primarily it will fulfil an important promise and because it will force a better level of engineering and configuration management on the system- not because I doubt the organisation's commitment to openness.
In short, I think releasing the code soon is important. Releasing it "now" would be an unessesary distraction.
Chris Maloney commented
> we do not have the structure in place to support community co-development of our base code
Just to make it crystal clear: that's not what Heather or the others are asking for here. Presumably, you use version control in-house. Putting the code into the open, as they're asking for, would only entail moving the version-control system to some open platform platform. GitHub would be great, but there are others that are just as good (if you don't like git).
The only cost is that your developers would have to spend about a day, maybe, on average, installing git, creating accounts and learning the basic commands, and then uploading the code. It really is very simple. You would retain all the control over who can make changes to the code. As others have suggested, you might be pleasantly surprised that you get some "pull requests" that solve problems you don't have time for, or even for things you never thought of.
Anonymous commented
What distinguishes ORCID from other author identifiers, if it isn't open? Without the community the whole thing is doomed, and without open code you won't build community.
Jason Priem commented
Laure, thanks for responding. I certainly undersand that y'all are in active development right now and don't want to spend time on a bunch of documentation and questions from well-meaning but distracting contributors.
That said, there is a BIG difference between opening your source and supporting and community development. You don't have to be ready for the latter to embrace the former. Opening the source code makes a commitment to openness. Now. Not in the hazy, maybe, wouldn't-it-be-nice future.
"We'll make it open one of these days" send a very strong message to potential users and developers about ORCID's commitment to openness, and it's not an encouraging one. it says that openness is not a priority. That makes me really sad, because I want to give ORCID my full support.
But as long as the source code is proprietary and hidden, I (and I think a lot of like-minded folks) can't do that.
Don't fix the ugly bits. Don't add documentation. Don't support external devs. It's early; no one is going to fault you for that stuff at this stage. But please make a solid commitment to actually being open by releasing your code under an open license. Thanks!
That's a big ol' +1 from me.
William Denton commented
Heather Piwowar commented
Laure, I appreciate that co-development is a different type of work and now may not be the time to make that move. That said, there is a spectrum between co-development and the-community-cant-help-at-all: once your code is open you may find that accepting some pull-requests for bugs and features on ORCID's todo list is worthwhile.
I do hope you plan to make it "working open" on GitHub and not just a periodic upload, so that both ORCID and the community can fully realize the benefits.
Jason Priem commented
The O in ORCID stands, I'm told, for "open." Until the source code is available...it ain't open.
David Jay commented
I'd be interested in plugging in!
Marcus D. Hanwell commented
Couldn't agree more with Egon, release soon (or early), release often!
Heather Piwowar commented
See @orcid_org's commitment to releasing its software as open source in ORCID's awesome Principles, #8: http://about.orcid.org/about/what-is-orcid/our-principles.
Scott Chamberlain commented
Yes, agreed agreed!
Egon Willighagen commented
Agreed! "Release soon, release often" works particularly well, when the community can help fix things, and add new features.

TAMPA, Fla., Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Republicans and Democrats must topple their sacred cows to get the U.S. economy back on track, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told the party faithful in Tampa, Fla.
"Republicans must acknowledge that not every dollar spent on the military is necessary or well-spent," Paul said in his address Wednesday before the Republican National Convention. "Democrats must admit that domestic welfare and entitlements must be reformed."
Both parties "must replace fear with confidence, confidence that no terrorist, and no country, will ever conquer us if we remain steadfast to the principles of our founding documents," Paul said.
America has nothing to fear "except our own unwillingness to defend what is naturally ours -- our God-given rights," Paul said. "We have nothing to fear that should cause us to forget or relinquish our rights as free men and women."
America needs someone like Romney who will "lead us forward and away from looming debt crisis ... [and] who understands and appreciates what makes America great."
Paul, a favorite of the Tea Party movement, chided Democratic President Obama for the Affordable Care Act -- "I still think it's unconstitutional" -- and for insulting Americans by saying "you didn't build that."
Americans are guaranteed "the right to own our success," he said.
Obama says the wealthy must pay their fair share, "but when he seeks to punish the rich, the jobs lost are for the poor and the middle class," Paul said.
"Our nation faces a crisis. America wavers," Paul said. "The republic of Washington and Jefferson is now in danger of becoming the democracy of debt and despair. Our great nation is coming apart at the seams and the president seems to point fingers and blame others."
"President Obama's administration will add nearly $6 trillion to our national debt in just one term," the senator said. "And I'm hoping it's only just one term."

wikiHow to Bring a Ghost Back to Life in Sims 3
Is your house haunted in the Sims 3 and you want to bring some ghosts back to life? Follow this method and you will know how to do this, even though it is difficult to achieve.
1Choose a haunted house to play. The Crumplebottom household is a good place to start because Agnes Crumplebottom lives in a house with a ghost called Erik Darling and she also has a plentiful amount of cooking skill already, which you need to bring a ghost back to life. If you're really serious about doing this, then use the 'testingcheatsenabled true' cheat to add angler and natural cook to your sim's traits to make it easier to find ingredients that you need to resurrect a ghost.
2Make your Sim study until she/he reaches level 10 of the cooking skill and level 7 of the fishing and gardening skill. This can take a while, but if your sim has enough happiness points you can purchase a 'fast learner' reward that makes increasing the skills easier.
3Get your supplies to start. After you have reached the appropriate skill levels, you are ready to begin the actual hunting for ingredients. Make sure you have enough money for the recipe book; if not, use the 'motherlode' cheat. You will need:
- An Ambrosia recipe book (requires 12,000 simoleons and level 10 cooking skill)
- 1 death fish (requires level 10 fishing skill and death fish fishing book)
- 1 life fruit (requires level 7 gardening and collection helper reward (optional))
4Buy the Ambrosia recipe book and make your Sim read the entire thing. Keep the book safe after you have read it as it cost you a hefty 12,000 simoleons.
5Fish for the elusive deathfish. The fish are most likely to be caught in the graveyard pond between midnight and 5AM. Angler sims do not need bait to catch the deathfish, and they can fish at any time of day in the graveyard pond. Make your sim reaches level 7 of the fishing skill and read the book that reveals the bait for deathfish. You will actually have to catch the rare angelfish to use as bait to catch the deathfish so read the angelfish fishing book and use an alley catfish bait to catch the angelfish to catch the deathfish. Phew!
6Obtain the rare life fruit. The life fruit is a glowing pear that can restore one day of the Sim's life if eaten. Unfortunately, they are as uncommon as the deathfish. If you reach level 7 of the gardening skill and find a seed around town, especially around the graveyard (Life fruit seeds are labelled 'Uncommon Special Seeds') then you should be able to grow the plant. You also get the life fruit as a reward for reaching level 7 of the Science career or as a reward from an opportunity at the EverFresh Delights supermarket. This is possibly the hardest ingredient to find because you just have to chance upon the seed, but if you get enough happiness points and purchase the 'collection helper' reward it should help you find it.
7Using all the ingredients, make the ambrosia. Store the completed ambrosia in the fridge as leftovers and wait until nightfall.
- Make sure none of your sims eat the ambrosia and use it up. Imagine having to find the ingredients all over again!
8Wait until the ghost appears at nightfall and move the ambrosia to a kitchen counter. If you can move his/her gravestone indoors, do it. You don't want the ghost wandering about outside and wasting time. Click 'call to meal' on the ambrosia, but make sure none of your sims eat some before the ghost gets some first. That way, no one will get in the way of the ghost on the way to the plate.
- If you wish, you can let some of your sims eat the ambrosia. When eaten, the ambrosia will restore the sims age to the start of that life stage (eg. If a sim is an elder close to the end of his/her life stage it will be as if he/she had just turned into an elder) adds 75 mood to the sim for a week and restores hunger to full.
- Remember, ghosts go back to their graves at 4AM if they are not distracted and are forced to go back to their graves when sunlight comes (5-6am).
9Wait for the ghost to turn back into a human with an explosion of light. It should be restored to the age that they were when they died.
- If you want, use the 'testingcheatsenabled true' cheat, hold shift, click on the newly resurrected ghost and click 'add to active household' to move the resurrected ghost in.
Community Q&A
What if the dead did not come back to life?It should work. If it didn't, you should try it again. Just use the karma option and you will be able to bring them back to life.

Hillsborough Racquet Club
Hillsborough, California 94010
Phone: 650/343-2062
We'd love it if you would mention that you found Hillsborough Racquet Club on the Here Comes The Guide website.
Video by Thomas Hughes Films.
Why We Like This Place
The Hillsborough Racquet Club has a wonderful ambiance—polished and dignified, but without any stiffness or stuffiness. HRC's members are proud of their private club and enjoy its unique spaces, from the ballroom, patio and bar, to the indoor badminton court. When you host your wedding here, you have exclusive use of the facility during your event, along with an experienced manager to provide discreet assistance.
Built in 1913 as a polo club, the Hillsborough Racquet Club is located in a lovely residential neighborhood surrounded by elms, cypresses and laurel hedges. The entrance faces away from the street, and it's not until you walk around to it that you see the club's beautiful architectural elements. The building's design is based on the classical Greek Doric order with clean, elegant lines. A handsome portico curves along the front, opening to a patio with flowerbeds and the main entrance. Visitors enter a domed, parquet-floored foyer with hallways that lead to a bridal changing room, a servers' entrance, dining and music rooms, and the ballroom.
The ballroom is the heart of the club and it's easy to see why. It's large and airy, but not overwhelming—ideal for dinner and dancing. Interior designers enjoy the room's good "bones"—the walls are finished in off-whites and ornamentation is simple and subdued. The room's main visual focuses are a large working fireplace capped with a Tudor arch on one side, and a wall of windows and French doors on the opposite side that open to the patio. This sunny space, sheltered by a shade tree and lined with flowers and small hedges, is a wonderful spot for cocktails and outdoor dining.
Adjoining the ballroom is a bar and a "domino room." The bar is backed by a mirror that reflects light pouring in from the windows. Next door, the domino room has a very clubby feel and makes a fine place to sit and relax, or to take a break from the festivities.
The dining room has a fireplace, brass chandelier and "hounds and hunters" prints on the walls. In the adjacent music room, a grand piano stands against a light-loving wall of windows that can serve as a backdrop for small ceremonies. (Couples may wed in the ballroom, too, and HRC is close to several neighborhood churches.) French doors in this room also lead to the patio, creating a nice indoor/outdoor flow.
Other pluses are the large staging kitchen off of the dining room, and the changing room/ladies' lounge next to the foyer.
The members are happy to share their club with you for your special occasion, whether it be a wedding, anniversary party, or other celebration. What's more, you'll get the attention you deserve, since HRC never hosts more than one function per weekend.

Santorum's Strong Run
He helped Romney by taking apart RomneyCare.
Rick Santorum dropped out of the Republican Presidential race Tuesday, having enhanced his political reputation and forced Mitt Romney to become a better candidate. Not bad for someone who few beyond his own family gave much of a chance of getting past Iowa, much less to April.
Mr. Santorum outlasted everyone who was thought to be Mr. Romney's main competition to become the chief conservative alternative. He did so in large part with...

The word "emergency" has a very different meaning when you're a toddler.
Aaliyah Garrett of South Carolina needed help getting dressed one morning. It was a fashion emergency.
The 2-year-old did what she was taught to do when faced with dire circumstances — she called 911.
Aaliyah's grandfather, unaware that a call had been made, answered the door to find Deputy Martha Lohnes, ready to save the day.
While her grandfather explained that everything was fine, Aaliyah, still half-dressed, ran up to greet Lohnes.
Deputy Lohnes sat the toddler down and helped her out of her predicament, one leg at a time. Aaliyah then explained that she required assistance with her shoes. But even after this, she still wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to her new hero.
"She jumped in my arms and wouldn't let me go," Deputy Lohnes told Inside Edition.
Deputy Lohnes said that it's fairly common for children to play with the phone and accidentally call 911.
"We normally sit them down and say, 'Hey, this is for emergencies only,' but she was only 2," she explained. "I was impressed that she could dial at all."
Aaliyah's mom, Pebbles Ryan said that while she had taught her daughter how to dial 911, she's not sure that Aaliyah really understood the concept.
"I always told her to call when she needed help, but I didn't know she'd take it to that extent!" Ryan said.
"I came home to find out that the police had put her pants on for her and now she has a new friend for life." Ryan said. She also noted that Aaliyah is normally able to dress herself, but the pants plight was a little more than she could handle
"My heart went out to Aaliyah, because not too long ago, I was the little girl dialing 911 just so I could see police officers show up at my house," Lohnes said. "I was so enamored by police officers as a kid."
The folks at the Greenville County Sheriff's Office praised Deputy Lohnes for the way she conducted herself.
"You can't train the heart, charisma, or angle she took on this," Deputy Michael Douglas told Inside Edition. "We try to recruit those natural attributes."
Deputy Douglas shared that more than 250,000 accidental 911 calls were made in 2015 in Greenville County alone.

All Dressed Up . . .
We've written in the past about the lack of shows being booked at the Yost Theater in downtown Santa Ana, and now it looks like another ornately remodeled, recently reopened venue has a similarly slim schedule—the Fox Pomona Theater.
The Fox began its comeback this past May with a show from gypsy punks Gogol Bordello (it's obligatory to include the term "gypsy punk" when describing that band, y'know), and since then, it has boasted a score of marquee-worthy acts: Wilco, the Flaming Lips, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Band of Horses, Paramore, Girl Talk, Ween, Cake, Marilyn Manson.
At press time, though, the only concert currently on their calendar is Sonic Youth on Jan. 8, a show that was originally scheduled for Sept. 25 and pushed back due to guitarist Lee Ranaldo's tennis injury. So for more than three months, the Fox will have nothing other than the semi-regular Club Matinee all-ages dance nights (sardonically nicknamed "Club Jailbait" by me-like people)—on Wednesday, Nov. 25 and Saturday, Dec. 26.
Morrissey is rumored to be playing the Fox on Dec. 7, though the show has not yet been officially announced (just widely reported by reliable fansites). That's obviously a huge show (Moz in Southern California, always a no-brainer), but it's more two months away. The Fox was to host a Halloween show with the Nekromantix and the HorrorPops, but that got scrapped after the Nekromantix nabbed an opening slot on Rob Zombie's tour.
It's not really fair to be too critical of either the Yost or the Fox—the former is being very selective about programming while they're still renovating, and the latter front-loaded with such an impressive lineup that it's understandable if they're going through a bit of a refractory period. Still, we're greedy for more great shows. Hopefully, there's a slew of shows waiting in the wings to be announced. Ah, Morrissey: always a beacon of hope.

It's been more than three years since Hellogoodbye's full-length debut, Zombies! Aliens! Vampires! Dinosaurs! So actual new material from the Huntington Beach-formed (though currently Long Beach-based) band is a welcome sight—even if you're skeptical at first, like when you get a birthday card from a distant relative after being out of touch for years.
Luckily, Hellogoodbye aren't asking for a kidney—they're the ones doing the giving, with a free digital "mini EP," When We First Met, released on their website (hellogoodbye.net) on Sept. 29. It's two new songs—the title track and "Not Ever Coming Home"—along with a "When We First Met" video. Also, they're on tour with Hanson right now. (Yes, "MMMBop" Hanson. They're much manlier now. Well, relatively speaking.)

Fullerton's Dusty Rhodes and the River Band want your money. But it's for a good cause: They're making a film based on their music, and the rather ambitious project (they've described it as "a colorful and visual performance and story based on the characters in our band and environment") is out of their budget. They're looking to raise $5,000 and have set up a page on chipin.com where fans can help out.
The band has also bounced back from bassist Brad Babinski's health problems and are playing several local shows, including Oct. 8 at the House of Blues in Anaheim, opening up for Boston's State Radio.

Message to Nulabourians
ID Cards:
Not needed.
Not Wanted.
Fuck Off!
I Repeat:
Not needed.
Not Wanted.
Fuck Off!
News emerged today that government plans for a compulsory UK national ID card pilot scheme in the airline industry are deadlocked by industrial and union opposition, casting a blight over the unveiling of the cards' design. The Financial Times reports this morning that the government's intended rollout of the biometric ID …
ID Cards:
Not needed.
Not Wanted.
Fuck Off!
I Repeat:
Not needed.
Not Wanted.
Fuck Off!
It's nice to see that the government is striving towards grater industrial harmony. They have managed to get management and the unions working together. Pity its against the government it's self
Happy Icon as no ID card makes me happy.
...that the ID card scheme is a solution looking for a problem, but it isn't even that - it's nothing more than some half-assed scheme cobbled together by some smarmy politicians who seem hell-bent on thinking that intrusive technology everywhere will somehow solve loads of problems. Fraud? This system will be ripe with it. Terrorism? Previous terrorists had legit documentation anyway, and besides, the way they're pushing this is likely to incite people to get involved with malicious monkey business, not prevent it.
I think everyone would agree that MPs at the HoP should trial any ID cards prior to their being "rolled out" onto citizens ... think of Otis Ferry !!
* The judge in the Jammie Thomas case has realised that fining someone $200,000 for sharing a few files online is tad on the excessive side.
* EPO Patent examiners have started complaining that the patent system is broken
* The US DOJ has turned round and said it doesn't want to do the record/movie industry's dirty work for them,
* And now people are telling the governement where they can shove their stupid ID cards.
* MEPs are demanding that govs can't just share crime data freely and might actually have to protect our personal data
* American politicos are starting to question if giving $700billion to the cretins that caused the financial crisis is actually such a good idea.
* And to top it off, Americans have finally started to see through tthe gitwizard David Blaine as the untalented cretin he really is
I think I need a lie down. Too much sanity in such a short time.
I heard Blunkett on the radio recently repeating the old, long discredited claim that the ID card was, "no different to a store card."
Well Mr Blunkett there are at least two major differences. Tesco don't charge me £80 for their card and when I get sick of them and cut up and throw away their card, Tesco don't get to put me in jail.
Having seen the cards, they carry the persons immigration status, entitlement to benefits and work status.
So when someone apples for asylum , these can change several times over a matter of months, are they going to reissue a card every single time?
Person comes in. Wil have no entitlement.
Then they may get tempory leave to stay. No benefits or work allowances.
Leave of Stay finished, apply for full status.
Refugee status granted, entitled to work and benefits.
gets even more complex with under 18's
We'll be just as vehemently against the scheme as the Airline industry, if not more so.
Right now, i'd vote Tory just to get this scheme thrown out.
There is hope.
The airline industry is a logical place for a pilot, when it comes right down to it.
This isn't about security, it's about control, and the test of: 'Would Hitler have done this' is passed all too easily.
As I have been a UK citizen all my life I have many ways of proving who I am, that I live where I do and I pay my taxes.
Do we really want the Police (or indeed anyone else) demanding to see our papers at any excuse ? (or none at all) since if the ID cards are allowed to go ahead it won't take long for that to happen (in the interests of our own safety of course).
Mines the one with the SOE manual sticking out of the pocket.
Ya barred!
Seriously tho, the sooner they kill these off the better! Especially with lab.gov's record on data security.........
Thumbs up to the airport guys, NuLabour are slowly working there way down the list of people they can shove (deploy) these to, next it'll be teachers, once the teachers have said no i'm sorry but it'll end up being shoved out to the armed forces, sorry guys you work for 'em you can't say no.
It's not your boss Gordon I hate (although actually I do as well)
It's all of you b#####d labour politicians and the entire diseased government you have created
Gordo couldn't have got through the ID card, 10p tax removal, the extra police powers, the 48 days without trial. He couldn't have killed off habeus corpus without you and Tony couldn't have got us into an illegal war against the wishes of the population without you bunch of sycophantic fucks
You have presided through a regime who have happily smashed our civil liberties to pieces, cost us a small bloody fortune in pointless superGov IT projects that meet no end, and sent Britain's proud army on shameful missions, smashing them to pieces in the process
Whinge all you want about how misunderstood your glorious leader is and replace him with the dinner lady for all I care
I voted for you, I'm sorry (to everyone else), it'll not happen again
Take your ID card and shove it in the sunshine (up Gordon's arse apparently having listened to you lot the last few days)
Ahhh that's better
Yeah, you don't have to get a card. But without one you
(1) won't be able to fly a plane
(2) won't be able to work in a secured airport
(3) won't be able to get your health benes
(4) won't be seeing your pension
(5) won't be seeing your family (you're probably be shipped off to gitmo for an attitude re-adjustment).
Once you're seen the error of your ways, you will always have your card
with you and you'll be plenty happy to show it when the man says "papers please".
Good, the more this ID Card idea is stalled, the better.
Financially, the Government is mad to continue with this scheme. It is money down the drain.
Mines the one with the pocket full of spare fake ID Cards.
This is reminding me of MS steering people away from Vista...
They can bollocks. Issuing them to foreign residents before anyone else? I'm pretty sure that's got to break some sort of bullshit discrimination law, there's enough of 'em about. In fact, as a member of the CoFSM, I'm pretty sure that it's against my religious beliefs to be tagged like this, and forcing me to do so is incitement to religious hatred. Or something.
(I wonder if the Jewish communities are looking into the details? I reckon they've probably got a pretty decent chance of saying "fuck right off" based on history... and they have a lot of lawyers...)
(*No, I didn't get a council flat after being arrested by the British Navy...)
I guess if I don't have my card I won't be able to pay my taxes then.
Looks like the huge number of illegal aliens working in the airport industry are safe for now.
As when the ID cards are brought in (and about time too) you will see the same thing happen as occured in Lambeth with the traffic wardens all being properly screened(40+ disappeared overnight, as they were all illegal aliens with dodgy job details).
The airline industry/Union is scared shitless that the day the cards come in, a large proportion of thier workforce will simply vanish, not to mention the immigration police will be run ragged around the Hounslow area nicking all the aliens that are flagged up.
The Unions will be stuffed as they cannot support or represent illegals and there will suddenly be a major recruitment drive by the ground support recruitment agencys.
Maybe they should do the Recruitment drive and get a nice good long short-list before they start processing the ground staff, so they can be replaced without disruption.
As a side note it may well put a end to the world renouwned reputation for Thief-Row.
And for all those liberal panseys out there harping on about ID cards and civil rights, the rest of Europe has had cards since WW1. nothing wrong with them, so long as the data is protected from outside manipulation and there is multiple layers of paper trail for the setting up of the users identity so that if anything did occur, it could be traced back and corrected.
The only ones with anything to hide are the CRIMINALS, so if your not a criminal there is no problem. The sooner controls are brought in like in Todays! GERMANY the better, the crime rate will fall and those deserving of having thier collar felt by the boys in BLUE will find they are heading to new accomodation provided by HMG or will be flying back to thier country of Origin.
So does that make the noisy protestors against the UK ID card members of a organised crime syndicate??????
Looks like the sooner it comes in the better then, and we can get these scumbags caught and put away.
Mines the one in brilliant Orange with tha blurred numbers on the back...
Wow, scary - you read my mind and wrote it down!
take a healthy hike http://bastardoldholborn.blogspot.com/2008/07/old-holborn-is-going-for-walk.html
Provided the airline industry stands firm, the government will have to back down. The alternative is that they'd have to sack all the people who work in airports (including flight crew) and find others willing to accept ID cards and take their place, then provide training for all these people. Can't quite see it happening, you'd end up with a less secure system that way and vastly inflate the cost.
...and good on these people finding a voice. one that says NO.
i only have one grave major concern about ID cards...
i understand very clearly that this system will do exactly the opposite of protecting my identity.
if implemented, it would make it far easier for those underbelly id snatching fraudsters to steal my and your ID and become anyone they please.. if they have an exact clone (and it most surley can and would be done) they could become you...
and what's worse is that if someone gained access to the central database they could even swap some (or all) your 'details' with theirs or anyones... and make you into someone else..
imagine what could happen to your life if the system says you're someone else?
how easy would it be to prove to just about everyone that you are who you are if someone out there is saying that they are you?
PS the first comment is the best one :)
So the government want to impose the use of the ID cards on the airline industry, well, that's ok for British citizens: we'll be forced to have one, but what about everyone else that passes through the UK ? They're not going to be able to force foreign nationals and foreign governments to adopt our 'airline' ID cards are they?
Seems to me one of the biggest security risks is Pakistani nationals travelling to the UK, it won't do anything to stop that security risk.
I don't understand what the British Government was really trying to achieve forcing it on the airlines, it's supposed to be an ID card, not a permit to fly card, to verify our identify by the Police when requested, to verify our identify when we apply for benefits.
So are we going to be forced to present this new ID card when we want to fly? Don't we have a passport for that purpose?

Surely the point is they have a chip with integrated flash memory, so you'd have thought the dynamic data would be written to the chip and not printed on the face of the card!
In this way, you just reprogam the chip when the data changes, not issue a new card every time...cheaper isn't it?
Not to mention that won't be enough space on the face of the card to list everyone's entitlements, ( so an immigrant will have their indefinite leave to remain on the card, now what if you're a single parent immigrant on benefits - so "indefinite leave to remain", "housing benefit code A1", "Income Support Benefit, code IS1", "Free Prescriptions, NHS Code FS1"...."
so they'll just have to limit it to a subset on the face. The whole point of this is to use a card reader to access data in the chip making it much harder to copy and forge the card.
Or the supplier of a benefit or service keys in the unique number on the face of the card and a database look-up occurs.
You don't duplicate the information in the chip with that on the face..because then you run in to problems of keeping both sets of data up to date! Or in the case of the Passport RFID chip, they duplicate the data in the chip in hard copy print in the passport, making the chip easier to copy and it's been hacked because of that flaw.
How is it, that just about every IT project this useless f**king government gets involved in it manages to screw up?
I had to replace my drivers license because it was nicked. Cost of replacement? £17.
Cost of applying for a passport, around £90.
Massive difference, now I know the re-issue of the driver's license was a simpler task: they already had the information on me, just had to re-print the card, but the new passport, was a replacement for an expired one..so they already had the info on me for that, but admittedly I had to supply new photos. Ok, waffling on there a bit, but why the f**k does a passport cost so much more?
So, how much is the new ID card going to cost us? It's not just the card, it's the processing of the information to request one in the first place. And, you know full well the f***ng ba**stards will impose a law that says it's our responsibility to keep the card-up to-date and request, and pay for new issues of the card, simply to update the printed information on the face!
This is going to be incredibly expensive for us citizens.
And to partially answer my own question, why does the passport cost so much more?
Because there was a massive fiasco years ago with the installation of a new IT system which didn't work...( usual government screw-up on IT projects) and they increased the cost of the passport application to cover the cost of the screw-up.
Apparantly one of my distant relatives was responsible for the screw up.
I call shenanigans. Where have you been during all the other Reg comment tirades on this subject?
Also, the usual rundown:
(1) won't be able to fly a plane
Won't anyway shortly if fuel prices rise any further.
(2) won't be able to work in a secured airport
'Sall right, don't want to.
(3) won't be able to get your health benes
Haven't seen any benefits in my life, despite a couple of attempts to claim them. "No, you haven't made enough contributions while you were in full time education."
(4) won't be seeing your pension
The way things are going, the only way you'll see a pension is to stuff a mattress anyway.
Guess you're a criminal then...
Ok, don't, but don't come whinging to me when your sprog are chipped and clipped.
The reason they dare not scrap the cards is because the EU has told them we must have them. Not as draconian as the scheme ZAnulabour wants, true. Our politicians are little more than parish counselors now, carrying out Brussels requirements.
They (and the mainstream media) are SCARED to admit that they have to do this under the EU laws they have signed up to. And I'm waiting for someone here to whine (a) if you've nothing to hide..." or (b) "We've had them in Spain for years and ..."
Because you don't KNOW what will become a crime, and what the home secretary can make one retrospectively. Buying glue without an ID perhaps. Wouldn't surprise me. It's a crime now to overfill your (EU requirement) wheelie bin and
Because it never ever was a CARD, it was always about a massive Stasi type population database that YOU have to pay to maintain up to date, or get fined for NOT keeping it up to date.
EnricoSuarve for president!
Dear Fuckwit.
You appear to have strayed onto the wrong website.
Please paste the following into your browser's address bar;
Then press 'enter'.
Or, if (as I suspect) you are unable to comprehend this basic skill, simply type "daily mail" into your favourite search page.
You'll find greater numbers of like (narrow) minded idiots there.
I hope you're taking the proverbial 'cause otherwise you should just get back to reading the Sun
As the items which provide the airline with ID about someone and proof that they're allowed to work are the same as those that'll be used to collect the info for the ID card, what'll be the point?
Any illegals will get their beautifully crafted fake credentials out again and then have a government sanctioned one.
And would people who say that it'll prevent crime all put their crayons down and go and have a nap until sense prevails. Unless a burglar/mugger/murderer drops/gives you their card, it is impossible for an ID card to help solve crime.
Unrelated budgetary question
In the proposed budget for getting the ID card finished, is there money allocated for the card/fingerprint/iris readers that will be needed for every relevant office/shop/entryway? And if all that the card ever gets is a visual inspection, the biometric gumph (and I'lda thunk the chip itself) isn't needed anyway
Basically my objection is not that ID cards per say are a bad thing, Like you say they are widly used with good effect accross europe. My problem is with this government and it trying to do it.
It WILL cost a lot more than they are saying, and they are saying its going to cost a lot. A lot more than germanys has i bet,
They WILL lose the data. They will you know they will, they know they will, a dog on the otherside of the planet knows.
And above all they dont have a good reason, and they keep changing the reason. Trying to find some good reason for it. If there isnt a good reason dont do it, spend the money paying off the national debt set to hit £90 billion. Or on education or health.
Tomb stone becuase thats what this scheme needs, now wheres that plane i want to emegrate, whats new zealand like this time of year?
Why oh why do people keep trotting out this bull? Its because of this miopic mindset that our civil liberies and freedoms are being so easily eroded.
At surface level the phase is true: I have done nothing wrong so I have nothing to fear from the authorities. But that is where it stops.
If stopped, you cannot simply respond when questioned, 'no officer, I am innocent, good day' - they simply wont believe you. Instead you will have to stop and answer a number of questions, who are you?, where are you going?, whats in the bag?, etc. You will be treated as if you are a criminal until you can prove you are not. Do you really want that on the way to a job interview or when running late for that important client meeting?
And where is the line drawn? Would be happy to interrupt a family dinner, when the PRS police come knocking and asking to inspect your computer for illegal downloads?
Innocence and liberty are not the same:
Liberty: freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control.
Inncoence: freedom from sin or moral wrong.
Yes, pursue and punish the wrongdoers, but do not do it by treating the innocent as criminals - that will only incite them to act as criminals.
The TUC didn't just vote against, they voted to 'resist with all means at [their] disposal'.
I posted this elsewhere but it seems particularly appropriate for this story.
How do you think Britain has ended up being the most surveilled society on the planet?
Inch by inch, step by step, all the time saying 'This will make us better at catching the bad guys.'
What time is it Mr Wolf?
'It's time for me to introduce one more database to make sure you and the kiddies are safe from the bad people.'
What time is it Mr Wolf?
'It's time that we shared all that info with all those approved authorities that might want to see it.'
What time is it Mr Wolf?
'It's time to make sure that we know who everyone is so we can tell if you're a bad person.'
What time is it Mr Wolf?
'It's time for you to STOP ASKING QUESTIONS!'
Look around, just exactly how much better is this country than anywhere else? How much worse? I'm trying to avoid descending into some kind of paranoid rant here but if the problem is crime and we're told that the solution is surveillance (cameras, dna databases, id cards etc), seeing that we have more of that now than ever in history shouldn't we expect a significantly lower rate of crime?
And I'm not talking about the single digit percentage figures that every government likes to suck it's own dick over, I'm talking 10%, 20%, 50%. Obviously surveillance isn't doing that.
(As an aside, I do know that there are probably thousands of examples where CCTV has been a positive influence.)
Which leaves us with another question. If surveillance is the solution but crime isn't the problem it's solving - then why is it there?
Answers on a miltary-grade encrypted postcard thanks.
Having been in the army since I was 15 and having carried some form of ID card all of my life. I was in favour of ID cards when the idea was first mooted.
However the ID scheme trying to be implemented here goes far beyond proving ones Identity, It is proof of your entitlement to live and work in this country. Whilst there may be nothing wrong with this concept, it's how this data is kept, who has access and how it may be used in the future, that gives me the greatest concern.
Whilst it is extremely unlikely that the likes of the National Front or other extreme regimes (present government excepted) will gain power in this fair country of ours, it is not beyond the realms of possibility. The fact that all this data is kept in one big database, and this government's record for data security worries me quite a bit.
Here is an excerpt from an email I've just received:
"NO2ID's national co-ordinator Phil Booth was unable to get into a Labour
Party conference fringe meeting this week because he couldn't get an ID
card! Phil was due to debate the ID scheme with Home Office minister Meg
Hillier but Labour's pass office in Manchester told him there had been a
problem with his application and it would cost him £600 for a temporary
pass to enter the conference for an hour! If this is how they organise
ID for their own party conference it makes you wonder how the are they
going to organise ID cards for 50 million people."
Ha ha ha ha .... good joke.
If you haven't done anything wrong you haven't got anything to hide eh? Have you seen the backbone employed by this bunch of idiots in NuLabour? No, didn't think so, no one else has either. What happens when they pass bad law that impacts you in your daily life? Then you'll have something to hide.
We have councils employing agents to go through peoples bins searching for incorrectly filed rubbish. How long before this information is tied to your ID card. Then to your ability to gain access to government services.
"Emergency Services. What service do you require?"
"ID card number"
"Sorry our records show two cases of incorrectly filed refuse in the last year. You will not qualify for service until March"
Its extreme but these cards will be used to build up a database of information about you that you will not have access to. They will then be used to determine your qualification for services. If you are refused you will have no avenue to find out why. The concept of an ID card isn't a bad one, the concept of this ID card is hideous.
I would add to your comments that it isn't likely that we'd even recognise an 'extreme' regime when it came. Remember these things don't happen over night, we'll not wake up tomorrow having our doors kicked in by grey suited 'thought police' (well most of us won't anyway). It will be a feeling, a sensation that makes you look up one day and think to yourself 'Where is this place? How did I agree to this?'
The extreme regime of which you talk will wear a nice suit, have a slick advertising campaign, will appeal to most of people's own beliefs and will come into power in a way no different to that of any other political animal either here or in Disneyland.
It is only those that continue to question that will remain awake enough to see it coming.
I'm talking about a lot of you, Reg Readers, and of course our pal El Reg.
As to what the data could be used for, the news of the DVLA selling the data they hold for £2.50 a pop which is then used to harass people....that's what.

Base price: $1.3 million.
The 83rd annual International Motor Show opens in Geneva on Thursday, and to celebrate, the luxury manufacturers have released some stunning new models.
The car picture above is the Ferrari LaFerrari, the Italian carmaker's first hybrid car. The word hybrid might be used lightly here: the LaFerrari emits 330g/km of CO2, which is well above double the European average for new cars. But it's more environmentally friendly than a Range Rover or an Escalade, and the perks are significantly better.
The LaFerrari can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in fewer than three seconds, to 120 mph in fewer than seven seconds, and reach speeds of 230 mph. The V12 engine, together with a 120 KW electric motor, can produce a combined 963 CV of horsepower.
The design, Ferrari says, emphasizes the link between form and function:
The result is an extreme, innovative design which retains close links to the marque's tradition. This is most evident in its side profile: the car has a sharp, downward-sloping nose and a very low bonnet which emphasises its muscular wheelarches, a clear nod to the gloriously exuberant forms of late-1960s Ferrari sports prototypes.
That's not quite as exclusive as the McLaren P1, though, another hybrid sports car for the super-rich that will be introduced in Geneva. The company is only building 375 cars.
But the LaFerrari and the P1 are practically common compared with Lamborghini's Veneno. There will be only three of these bad boys created -- in white, red, and green, the colors of the Italian flag -- and each has already sold for $3.9 million. Sorry, Charlie! The Veneno goes from zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds, and has a 12-cylinder engine, all-wheel drive and 750 horsepower. It has no hybrid capabilities.

Jake Peavy a Major Factor in Sox Getting Back to .500
For the first time since April 4, the Red Sox are back to an even wins-losses record, and a lot of the thanks can be given to starter Jake Peavy.
Peavy pitched well in his bid to help the Red Sox climb back to .500 for the first time since April 4, throwing six solid innings and allowing only three runs against the Reds on Wednesday.
His final line was six-plus innings pitched, three runs on four hits with four walks and four strikeouts. Peavy's book closed for the night with the Red Sox trailing by only a run.
One mistake came in the third inning, when he allowed a leadoff double to Chris Heisey, then with one out laid a fastball over the plate on the first pitch to Skip Shumaker that Shumaker crushed into the Cincinnati bullpen for his first home run of the season to make it 2-0.
Peavy settled down after the homer, retiring nine out of the next 10 batters, with only Roger Bernadina getting on base after walking in the fifth.
He left the game in the seventh inning after the bases were loaded on a leadoff double by Todd Frazier, followed by a single by Brayan Pena and a walk to Ryan Ludwick.
Chris Capuano came into the game and got Bernadina to ground out to second, allowing a run; Burke Badenhop then came in and induced a grounder to third from Heisey and the Red Sox got the out at home, then got out of the inning on a nubber in front of the plate by Zack Cozart that A.J. Pierzynski fired to first base.
The Red Sox took the lead in the bottom of the eighth and Koji Uehara shut the door for his eighth save of the season.
Along with John Lackey, Peavy has been arguably the Red Sox most consistent starter this season. Besides a rough game against the Orioles on April 20, where he gave up five runs in 5.2 innings, Peavy has produced quality starts in each of his outings this season.

Chris Brown and ex-girlfriend Karrueche Tran spotted after break up and Brown's profession of his love for both Tran and Rihanna.
Chris and Karrueche were spotted at a gas station in Burbank, CA earlier today. Although the former couple drove separate cars, Chris waited for Kae to fill up her tan and even had a member of his entourage give her the twenty dollars she needed for the trip.
It seems Chris Brown's love triangle between himself, Karrueche Tran and Rihanna is still as complicated as it was a month ago. In fact, he was just spotted cozing up with Rihanna over the weekend and it appeared his relationship with Karrueche was long gone. Although he released an official statement letting the world know he and Karruche had broken up and he wanted to preserve his "friendship" with Rihanna, followed by the most melo-dramatic video ever where he talked about his love triangle with the two women, he and Tran may not be over after all! Here are some more photos.
I don't know about Rihanna but if I were her I'd run and run fast! And this is coming from a Chris Brown fan. As an artist he's an amazing musician and performer. As a "man" (although I don't not know him personally) it seems Chris still has some growing up to do. Or perhaps, he's doing what lots of men have done and have continued to do, carry on a relationship with two women. The only difference? His life is being played out in public.
Whatever it is, someone will get hurt. Someone has already gotten hurt and as this plays out someone will get hurt even further.
"The Incident" better known as the 2009 assault on Rihanna by Brown is behind us! Most of us (I hope) were able to forgive him and move on. Most people make mistakes in life and hopefully learn from it and get beyond it. That's, at least, what I'm hoping in Brown's case. But here we go with the love triangle watched around the globe.
Rihanna girl……let's have a pow wow. You deserve better! Period!
You've moved beyond the assault, you've forgiven him, you're now "friends", we get it. He was your first love and like Cheryl Crow will have you know, "the first cut is the deepest", no pun intended. But baby let it go! Although you may not be able to admit t to yourself yet Chris Brown may not be the one for you. And despite what you may want it to be it may never be. You're way too beautiful, driven and accomplished to settle for less. You must now you're worth more that this. We've all been there girl, but for your own good, you've got to let go.
I hope you get through this. I hope you all find a resolution, get through it and move on with your lives.

Multitasking on Android can be hit and miss. The recent apps button is handy, but only if we've used the app we want. There are various launchers that can be manipulated and bent to our will, but they require us to forsake all others. With Quickr, we get to have our launcher and multitask, too.
Quickr is described as an action launcher, which is accurate, but also not a term we like for it. It's not much of a launcher at all. It's really more of a multitasking tool, wherein we get to quickly get to the apps we want without having to remodel our entire device. There is no fussy interface to subscribe to, and we can even keep stock Android if we like. We tested it on several devices, skinned and otherwise. The experience was the same across the board.
The customization is a bit confusing, but once you get the hang of it, it's worth the stretch. Most content is premium, but Quickr is a gesture-based task launcher that works. Essentially, you build folders of apps, and a swipe from the side activates them. So, if you have a slew of social media apps you use, like Twitter of Facebook, you can create a folder. There are four sections you can swipe from on your screen, so if you set your social folder to launch from the top right, a swipe from the top right of your screen would open up a menu with only those apps.
From there, you select which you want to use, and off you go. The catch is that you have to keep your finger on the screen, as the menu will disappear of you stop touching the screen. Quickr is definitely an app to check out, but be prepared to pay for it via the premium upgrade if you like it. The standard features are limited, but for $2.02, the app is easily worth it. If you like the experience you get with Android, but just want a little bit more, Quickr is a great app for you.

text: The British colonists of mainland North America had great hopes for the future in 1763, when the Peace of Paris formally ended the Seven Years' War. Since the late seventeenth century, their lives had been disrupted by a series of wars between Britain and the "Catholic Powers," France and Spain. Now, however, a triumphant Britain took title to Spanish Florida, French Canada, and all of Louisiana east of the Mississippi. With the British flag flying over so much of the North American continent, the colonists looked forward to a time of uninterrupted peace, expansion, and prosperity. Deeply proud of the British victory and their own identity as "free Britons," they neither wanted nor foresaw what the next two decades would bring—independence, revolution, and yet another war.More »

Cop Loses Temper During Stop [Video]
Cops have one of the most stressful jobs in the world, so I am always very willing to cut them some slack.
I am usually the guy that's saying stuff like, "Well that person really provoked that baton to the head" or "Pepper Spray doesn't hurt that bad".
Unfortunately though, there are many times where a cop just flips out and loses it. That's why dash-cams were created, to catch stuff like this.
This traffic stop seems normal, and it looks like everyone will leave without any kind of incident. Then the officer asks if he can take a look around the car, and let the "losing it" commence!

STEVE Jones hasn't had the best of years on the golf course in 2012 but returned to top form with a blistering round of 43 points in the re-arranged Monthly Stableford on Saturday at Brean.
He scored points for fun as he amassed 25 points in his opening nine holes and although failed to maintain the same scoring rate after the turn he still came home in a respectable 18 points for the winning total of 43.
He collected the Division One Stableford award plus the Sam Smalldon Memorial Trophy which found its way into Jones's possession as it was awarded to the best score of the day.
Just to top off a perfect result for Steve he relegated his brother Paul into the Division One runners up spot for good measure! Club Captain Stewart Garrett came close to matching that score but eventually ended up one short of the leader. His 42 point card saw him claim the Division Two victory ahead of Roy Fletcher on 41.
Division Three winner was Jim McLauchlan in what was the only time a countbcak was needed all day. He carded the lowest winning number of points on the day with 39 and this was matched by Nigel Ellis but McLauchlan held on over the back nine holes. Jim did however card the only Two of the day at the 17th to collect a healthy sum from a rollover Two's pot!
John Sherwood was the winner of the November Seniors Stableford at Brean Golf Club after his excellent card of 39 points. It was a close run thing on a decent dry day as the ever consistent Barrie Tucker also carded 39pts. Sherwood had the superior back nine total though so was awarded the top prize and also sees his handicap reduced by a stroke for his next event. Mike Allen rounded out the top three with 37 points just one ahead of Roger Phillips.

Editor's Introduction
This issue of >i>Chinese Economic Studies>/i> presents three case studies of economic reform. These articles, which are translated from Sheng Hong, ed., >i>Zhongguo zhidu bianqian de anli yanjiu>/i> [Case Studies in Institutional Change in China], reflect both the growing theoretical sophistication of Chinese economists and their attention to detail. These case studies are inspired by institutional economics, particularly the works of Ronald Coase and Douglass North, and by public-choice theory, particularly the work of James Buchanan. The attraction of these theoretical approaches to Chinese economists seems apparent; whereas standard neoclassical economics generally assumes a stable institutional framework, China does not have one, and these theoretical approaches are useful in understanding how and under what conditions institutions develop. At the same time, the efforts of these authors to collect detailed case studies on institutional development reflects a new appreciation of the need to understand China's economy and institutional changes from the ground up. It should also be noted that the material collected in these case studies is highly informative and will prove useful, whether or not the reader accepts the theoretical framework employed by the authors.

Kris Jenner "Test Drives" a Casket When Planning Her Funeral
Source: US Magazine
Kris Jenner is nothing if not prepared!
Serving as manager for her daughters Kim, Kourtney and Khloe, the Kardashian-Jenner family matriarch, 56, frequently plans out her schedule well in advance — and as Sunday's episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians showed, that includes organizing her own funeral.
After she asked her mother, MJ, if she can be included in her parents' burial plot and is rebuffed, Jenner got the wild idea to purchase a group mausoleum so that the entire Kardashian-Jenner clan can transition to the afterlife together. To explore her options, Jenner visited the famed Hollywood Forever Cemetery as well as a casket factory with children Rob, Kim and Khloe in tow.
"As a gift to you, I want to do this so that you'd never have to worry about anything ever again if anything happened to me or Bruce," she tells a skeptical Rob, who joined Khloe and Kim in humoring their mother despite their misgivings.
As they toured the cemetery grounds, Khloe, 28, and Kim, 31, joked about what type of mausoleum they'd like. "We want our own mausoleum with a moat so no one can steal our bodies," joked Khloe, while Kim said she'd like their final resting place decked out in black and white marble.
Things got all too real for the siblings when Jenner took them to ABC Caskets Factory so she could "test drive" a casket. "It's very pretty and comfortable," she mused when stepping inside one and settling in.
"Seeing my mom in the casket is weird to look at. She's all serious and I don't want to think about that," Rob, 25, admitted. "My mom's intentions are always great, but this is a sad process that's messing with our emotions."
Khloe also found Jenner's pre-planning to be too much to take and was reminded of her father Robert Kardashian, Sr.'s 2003 death following a battle with esophageal cancer. "I don't know if this is a way for my mom to deal with death, but it's not fun if you're a kid," Khloe said. "I was trying to play along and make it playful, but I don't think she realizes that we've already lost a parent and we don't want to lose another one."
Tell Us: Did Kris go too far in trying to pre-plan her funeral?
