version 200808a
- release year and month is now used as the version number.
- fix aspect ratio bugs. mtn now should behave the same as vlc's snapshot.
- bug: the Video: lines in stderr no longer show input scaling info ( => WxH).
scaling info is still shown in the final output image and the info text file.
this cannot be fixed easily.
- add -a aspect_ratio option to override input file's display aspect ratio.
- add non-seek mode -- slower but more accurate timing.
non-seek is good for small time step or small clips.
- seek or non-seek mode is auto selected and can be overridden by -z or -Z.
- fix possible extra space char after video size info of previous version.
- make shot size even. this should fix vertical dots when # of column is odd.
- output files modified since program start time will not be overwritten.
- the finding of new shots to evade blank & blur is improved.
# of skipped shots should be reduced.
- negative time step (-s) is removed. it doesn't seem to be useful.
- previous versions reported # of decoded shots/s; changed to # of final shots/s
- default info_color, background color, and jpeg quality has been changed.

I've been trying to make a simple Javascript slideshow and I want my user to choose the folder to get the pictures from.
Here is what I did: (removed unnecessary code)
In Page. php
public static $has_one = array(
'FolderForFadeBanner' => 'Folder'
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Banner", new TreeDropdownField("FolderForFadeBannerID", "Choose a folder", "Folder"));
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {
function returnimages($dirname = "../assets/images/Homepage") {
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
In Page.ss
<script type="text/javascript">
imagearray: [ $returnimages],
This code works, because I obviously have declared a default value to be used with the returnimages() function.
My problem is that I want returnimages() to use the value collected from the CMS $FolderForFadeBanner.
I tried things like $returnimages($FolderForBanner) or <% control $returnimages($FolderForBanner) %> $files <% end_control %> in the ss file or declaring the function $returnimages($FolderForBanner) in the php file, but all to no avail.
At best, my slideshow works with the default folder.
At worst, I get an error, saying that I do not have enough arguments for returnimages.
Help please someone?
I know I am probably doing something really stupid, but I can't figure it out.
[EDIT: Removed some more code that was not necessary. My post is still too long. Sorry. ]

Pirates that copy and re-sell DVDs are affecting more than just software developers, record companies and film studio - they're also hurting the open source community.
When stolen proprietary software is used by consumers, that's a lost opportunity for open-source software makers to get their own software onto the computer hard drives of new users, according to Louis Suarez-Potts, community manager at Sun Microsystems for the Open Office source project.
"Piracy hurts open source because open source asks people to help give back and contribute code, but they say 'why should I help? I have Microsoft Office for free'," Suarez-Potts said at the O'Reilly Open Source Convention.
Around the world, he said, many national governments are realising that this hurts them, too, because their citizens are then consumers of stolen technology rather than active participants in open-source communities that can help people gain technology skills that benefit workforces and nations.
By cracking down on software piracy, nations around the globe are starting to see that they can help themselves dramatically by encouraging innovation and creativity, as well as job growth and richer economies, through open source development, he said.
"China wants to create workers who can do this and create and sustain wealth," rather than just sell pirated software that doesn't improve the lives of the country's people, Suarez-Potts said. "We will all benefit if they are creating interesting things."
Other nations, including India, are making similar discoveries, he said. "They really quite clearly see that they should have their own intellectual ecosystems. China is now embracing open source and is asking how they can work with the international communities; likewise in India and Latin America."
Suarez-Potts added he expects Open Office 3.0, which is currently in beta, to be released in final version by this autumn.

Appropriately, it could be down for as many as eight hours. (You do get it, right?) This is outage is being conducted to upgrade the system. Faster, humming microchips with lots of important-sounding beeps. That's how I imagine it, anyway. Do not let this outage get you down! Take this time to reflect on what it must feel like to actually be an octopus. Cruising the cold, dark and open ocean floor, looking for food, love or a den to curl into, and trying to stay clear of trouble. Before you know it, the site will be back up!

The New England Revolution announced on Friday that they've partnered with UnitedHealthcare to give the MLS original their first jersey sponsorship in club history.
The Revs will debut the new game jerseys displaying the UnitedHealthcare logo on Saturday against Sporting Kansas City at Gillette Stadium (7:30 pm, ET, MatchDay Live).
UnitedHealthcare is based in Minneapolis and is a national leader in the fight against diabetes and obesity, recently launching the Diabetes Prevention and Control Alliance, a partnership designed to fight diabetes, prediabetes and obesity in America.
The partnership between the Revs and their new sponsor will provide community leadership in healthy living education through in-stadium activities, public service announcements, community soccer clinics, and youth instructional programs aimed at getting more children active and making healthy lifestyle choices.
"There is no more significant brand placement in sports than across the chest of an athlete and we're proud that UnitedHealthcare has chosen to partner with the Revolution in this way," New England Revolution investor/operator Jonathan A. Kraft said.
"We believe UnitedHealthcare's innovative approach to promoting youth fitness and wellness, coupled with the platform of our team and Major League Soccer's national footprint, will make a significant, positive impact in New England and across the country. Raising awareness – especially among children – of the importance of living a healthy life starting at a young age is imperative, and we're pleased to be part of UnitedHealthcare's efforts."
The Revolution become the 13th MLS team to carry a jersey sponsor this season.

*Written for the 10th MA Virgin Reviews Challenge
To me Vinnie Moore was always the coolest of all the '80s virtuoso's. Now I'm not a complete and total guitar nerd or anything, so I'm, not gonna go into some huge rant about technical details, but I just LOVE his first two records as heavy metal albums, and yeah – they display excellent talents on guitar. Vinnie is well known for his involvement in the successful act Vicious Rumours, and his efforts as a contributing session musician for big name acts yet has been releasing material under his own moniker since '86, which if you ask me, sits alongside the great works from all the virtuoso titans. His first two albums are personal favourites of mine from the genre, and I feel his style is perhaps a bit more emotive, urgent, and less "for the sake of it" than other virtuosos.
The solid debut 'Mind's Eye' from '86 might not be as commercially sccesful as 'Rising Force' but showcases Vinnie's talents as a tier-one axeman with a collection of passionately emotive tracks. Vinnie follows up on the album with 'Time Oddyssey', arguably a very similar album, with many cuts in the same vein as the strong debut. My favourite tracks include the epic and passionate 'Message in a Dream', a progressive sounding lengthy cut which crosses the line in over nine minutes, as well as the upbeat opener 'Morning Star'. Both cuts get stuck in my head – and like the remainder of the album, perhaps especially so, they are addictive, and very, very pleasing on the eye. As to be expected on this album – the guitars are all round great – carried through by a fantastically crystal clear production job. Symphonic touches are throughout, but not too frequently – most of the tracks are pretty grandiose, upbeat showcasings of mindblowing riffage and great melodies.
Anyway, if you're a guitar nerd, or fan of the '80s heavy metal/ neoclassical virtuosos like Malmsteen, Michealangelo - there's no reason you shouldn't dig Vinnie Moore's solo efforts. Both the debut and this one are solid, with Time Oddyssey being a worthy successful to his first solo effort. This album is a pleasure on the ears, and it surprises me that Vinnie Moore isn't a bit better known. I'm not familiar with the guitarist's later works, so I can't compare this to them, but this one is pretty much on par with his debut, and benefits from a strong job by the other band members. If you're not afraid of a little instrumental metal then check this one out.

About Internet Explorer 10
Internet Explorer is Microsoft's longtime Web browser, which debuted in 1995 as part of Microsoft Windows. Later, you could download Internet Explorer as a standalone Web browser for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Xbox 360. But in 2015 Microsoft announced that Internet Explorer 11 would be the final version and that Microsoft Edge is now the default browser for Windows 10.
As of January 2016, if you're using Windows 7, 8.1, or 10, Microsoft will no longer support or offer security updates for Internet Explorer 10 and all previous versions. (If you're on Vista or another OS, check Microsoft's Internet Explorer support lifecycle.)
Internet Explorer 11 will continue to get updates for as long as Microsoft supports the version of Windows that IE is installed on.
In Windows 10, Internet Explorer 11 is no longer the default browser. It's present in the background, because many applications still use parts of it. And you can still run Internet Explorer if you prefer.
Make Internet Explorer the default or a shortcut
To make IE the default, press the Windows key, type "Default apps," and press the Enter key. Scroll down to Web Browser and click it to open a menu of your installed Web browsers.
If you don't want Internet Explorer as your default browser but want to make it more accessible, add a shortcut to IE on your desktop. Press the Windows key, type "Internet Explorer," right-click the search result, and select Pin to Start or Pin to Taskbar.
Microsoft Edge vs. Internet Explorer
Microsoft has pegged Edge as the future of Windows Web browsing, so it's worth your while to give it a try. A few of its key features, which you won't find in IE:

When we first reviewed Sling Media's Slingbox the technology seemed groundbreaking. It's a 'place-shift' enabling set-top box that lets you access anything playing in your living room over a broadband.
But the emergence in the past year of large numbers of IPTV deals mean there are now far more ways of viewing television content.
Visit Mobile Advisor for the latest mobile-phone handset reviews and the best tariffs
However, that hasn't stopped Sling Media from increasing the uses for its technology, and you can now use the box to enjoy TV on a mobile phone. You still need a Slingbox plugged into your TV, Freeview box, personal DVD recorder or satellite receiver, along with a wired or wireless home network and a compatible mobile handset.
Having set up the hardware, you can install free software to your Symbian 9.1 mobile phone - the Nokia N73 we used for testing here is the first pure phone to support it, although Windows Mobile 5.0 smartphones and PDAs offer a similar functionality.
The Slingbox itself has a built-in Freeview tuner, while the 3 mobile phone network offers flat rate mobile internet access on its X Series Gold subscription for £45 a month, with the Slingbox hardware discounted from £180 to £99.
To get the SlingPlayer on your phone, press the 3 services button and download it from the 3 site. Once installed, enter your Slingbox's IP address. The resulting broadcasts depend on your home setup, but since UK Slingboxes have built-in Freeview, you get these channels as well as standard terrestrial ones.
The upstream of your home broadband connection is as critical as anything to determining how well TV-over-broadband works. However, the compression software seems to compensate well for fluctuations in bandwidth and we found watching TV on a handset quite mesmeric.
Sling Media SlingPlayer Mobile: Specs
- TV streaming box with DVB-T free-to-air digital TV tuner
- 2x RCA composite cable
- S-Video and aerial cables
- Scart to RCA adaptor
- infrared remote control cable
- AC adaptor
- requires Vista/XP/2000 and a compatible Symbian mobile phone
- TV streaming box with DVB-T free-to-air digital TV tuner
- 2x RCA composite cable
- S-Video and aerial cables
- Scart to RCA adaptor
- infrared remote control cable
- AC adaptor
- requires Vista/XP/2000 and a compatible Symbian mobile phone
We can't say this is a service for which we anticipate massive demand, but if you want to access TV from wherever you are it's a very neat way of doing so.

By now, the Aracade Fire's epic anthem "Wake Up" is as much of a part of the band's album Funeral as it was last year's Super Bowl on CBS coverage and the emotional trailer for 2009's Where the Wild Things Are. Whereas Viacom and Warner Bros. respectively saw the advantage in paying for the rights to the song, Microsoft decides it's just not worth the effort to go through all that work.
So, hey, why not just have some studio musicians shift "Wake Up" a few frets higher on the guitar, keep the same rhythmic patterns, and invite people to chant under it? It's basically the same as using the actual song, so why not? Also, this time the Arcade Fire won't get the opportunity to donate the proceeds from licensing out the song to some dumb charity like they did with that money from the Super Bowl. Everyone (read: Microsoft and Bing) wins.
Really, guys? This is even worse than Yahoo!'s dumb Vampire Weekend rip-off from a few weeks ago. Is this laziness? Is this uncreative thinking? Is this just simple economics? With companies like Facebook and Groupon being valued at $50 billion and $15 billion apiece, you would think that even companies on the fringe of this "new tech bubble" have disposable enough income to purchase some indie band's song. Maybe the tech-bubble doesn't actually exist, or maybe Bing and Yahoo! should just give up and admit that the war's over, and Google's won.
For comparison, here's AF's "Wake Up."

Moonshine Bandits
Big Smo, tattoed country
425 Fremont Street - Suite 220
Las Vegas, NV, 89101
Doors 8:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Central California's country hip-hop rebels the Moonshine Bandits are making noise with their new album "Whiskey and Women", as the album landed at position No. 54 on BILLBOARD's Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists. The Moonshine Bandits' intoxicating musical mixture of hip-hop and country won over fans of different genres as their new album simultaneously hit Billboard's Rap chart at No. 44, Current Country chart at No. 65, and the Independent albums chart at No. 162. Take 1 shot of Johnny Cash influence, 1 shot of the Beastie Boys influence and a dash of dancing girls, and you've got the unconventional new duo, the Moonshine Bandits.
The Bandits have toured Nationally, recorded or performed with established artists such as Uncle Kracker, David Allan Coe, REHAB, TECHN9NE, Kottonmouth Kings, Everlast, Pepper, N2Deep, Twiztid, Boondox, Haystak, Vanilla Ice, Expendables, E-40 and the list goes on. Moonshine Bandits songs "Sweet Home California" , "Moonshine" featuring Danny Boone from the group REHAB (Sittin' at a Bar song), and "Super Goggles" have all received Radio Airplay on FM Top 40 Stations in various regions. The Moonshine Bandits are definitely the working man's champion and continue to earn their stripes in a tough industry. The Bandits endorse their own brand of Liquor beverage called "Moonshine Bandits Outlaw Moonshine" The 99 proof spirit sold in regional grocery/liquor stores and online at www.outlawshine.com. One of the reasons Tex and Bird became known as the Moonshine Bandits is because of Tex's deep family roots of bootlegging booze during the Prohibition years. Tex's great grandfather used a barber shop as a front while he peddled alcohol illegally in baby carriages to community members, family, friends and politicians. This all took place in Northern California during the years of the Great Depression.
The Bandits have earned a ton of industry credits with music placed in Extreme Sports DVDs, 4x4 DVD's, and close to 1,000 live shows performed.
Moonshine Bandits have performed in Biker Clubhouses where most Police Departments wouldn't even step foot in, Smoke Filled Dive Bars, Biker Bars, Clubs, Harley Davidson Events, Cage Fighting Events, 4x4 Mud Conventions, Beer Festivals, Music Venues, and just about every other type of venue you can imagine. The ultimate honor was receiving a phone call from the United States Military to perform at Fort Irwin, CA. The Moonshine Bandits performed on July 4, 2010 at the Fort Irwin Military Base located in the Mojave Desert for thousands of our U.S. Troops. Their Live performances rival many of today's mega super stars. Their show consists of backup singer Derrty D, Award Winning DJ ChopStiqs, Shiner Girl Dancer Kristin aka Firecracker, their drummer B. Diddy and a lifted 4 x 4 Limo. If the Bandits are in your town, be ready for a Hell Raisin' Good ol' Time!
As the Moonshine Bandits gained momentum and their fan base started spreading outside of California to different states, and to Japan, Canada, Sweden, and troops stationed overseas, SHINER NATION WAS BUILT. Shiner Nation was formed to unite all the Moonshine Bandits fans. The Definition of a Shiner is a Rowdy Individual commonly known as a Moonshine Bandit Fan. Living the Shiner Lifestyle isn't just about the music, it's also about partying it up and raising hell your own way. You only live once. The Bandits Musical foundation was built with a blue collar approach from the ground up. Their success is truely a result of hard work and doing things "their" way.
Big Smo
In 2002 Big Smo self released his first album, "Kuntry Kitchen" named after the historical county store located on "The Kuntry Ranch" a 32 acre farm complete with heads of cattle and openpastures backed by fish filled ponds and the gorgeous Tennessee mountains. The album received rave reviews and Big Smo was on his way to becoming a local independent force. A few years later he released his sophomore album, "The True South", a crossover album that blends his street experience with his backwood southern roots.
After receiving overwhelming demand and response to the "The True South", Big Smo knew he had found his calling. Looking to expand on his already growing musical career, Big Smo stepped back into the studio with good friend and partner DJ ORIG and industry veteran Jon Conner to refine his sound and develop new artists in the recording facility he had custom built on the ranch.
Soon Big Smo Discovered his love and passion for film production and embarked on learning a new skill set. Hard work and dedication to his new found talent helped to complete several music videos and short films. Before long Big Smo was completing productions for popular Tennessee artists. After touring as an opener with several regional and national acts , Big Smo decided to go back and re-evaluate his musical direction. As a result of many years of growing and learning Big Smo joined forces with industry executive Dan Neslson in early 2010 to form
BIG SMO INC. The company's first release was a brand new Big Smo studio album, appropriately titled "American Made". Songs like "My Life In A Jar" , "Old Dirt Road" and "Kickin It In Tennessee" send the listener on a thrill ride through the country in an old Ford with no brakes. Guest appearances by many of Nashville's underground heros and studio musicians added incredable flavor to an already infectious slab of musical delight.

Tonight marks the start of the end of an album cycle that started with Glastonbury back in 2013. It's been the briefest of cycles focussing heavily on pushing the band's profile across the Atlantic. It's come to a point though where any Arctic Monkeys appearance in the U.K. is met with great fanfare, as is evident by the huge crowd sprawling out in front of the Reading main stage, by far the biggest of the weekend. Emerging predictably to a foot stomping 'Do I Wanna Know' and then heading through 7 other AM tracks interspersed with select cuts from the bands stellar back catalogue, it's clear that both on record and in the live environment Arctic Monkeys really can do whatever they want now.
Tonight, whatever they want is omitting '505', bringing crowd favourite 'When The Sun Goes Down' back in to their show mid set, and to the disappointment of some ending on 4 tracks from AM. Where Alex Turner was at first mocked for his hip shaking, hands in the air croon at Glastonbury last year, he's now made the super swish, slick hair rock star look his own. It isn't the career defining live moment I still feel Arctic Monkeys are yet to perform, however. tracks like Arabella that should sound impeccably powerful come across a little damp through the Reading night.
Backed by their now trademark AM backdrop it's a no frills production that brings the music and Alex Turner's newly found rock star swagger to the fore, a move that works for the first hour of their set but lacks the sort of dynamism in the latter venture in to AM's material, the crowd constantly waiting for some sort of crescendo that never really grows until going out with a band on R U Mine. Drawing a crowd from all corners of Reading's expansive clientele, it's clear the Arctic Monkey's appeal continues to grow and after last headlining in 2009 I'd bet it will be sooner than a 5 year gap before they next grace this most prestigious of stages.
The decision to choose co-headliners for Reading Festival was always going to be a bit of an odd prospect. Queens of The Stone Age on the one hand have played Reading 4 times and 2 times before on this very stage in the same slot they will occupy on Saturday at Leeds, Paramore on the other hand have staked their claim as the new trailblazers of the pop-rock crossover having plied their trade working their way up the bill in 4 year jumps form the lock up to the sub-headline to the big time. It's fair to say that both bands walked off the stage having proved exactly why they could've been closing the show in their own right on separate nights. Before either of these bands hit the stage though Friday had already had it's memorable moments.
Opening the NME stage was a newly blood red-haired and blue suited Gerard Way bringing his fuzz laden Brit-pop influenced new sound to a busy and curious crowd. Whilst clearly disappointing a selection of punters hoping to hear his post-My Chemical Romance era pick up where he left off with the old band, his solo rebirth is evidently far more concerned with appeasing Gerard's explicit love for '90s era British music and The Smashing Pumpkins.
Way is as captivating and confident as ever strutting about the stage holding his hand on his hip like the rockstar he is. Whilst the songs do at times descend in to the dangerous realm of 'festival forgettable' tracks like 'No Shows' with it's 'nahnahnahs', 'oohoohs' and a vocal delivery that takes us back to the bratty drawl of MCR's 'Teenagers', the only real remnant of his previous exploits on offer. Ending on a cover of The Jesus And Mary Chain's 'Snakedriver', which flies high over the heads of most in attendance, compounds the self-indulgence of Way's new direction but then this is all part of the charm, if this is the album he wants to make, on this evidence I want to hear it.
Deaf Havana on the main stage of Reading felt right as the sun came out on a sunny Friday afternoon. Their new direction since 2011's Fools and Worthless Liars has always sounded like it was made with this sort of stage in sight and since last year's Old Souls it's an environment I've been excited to hear these songs in. '22', 'Hunstanton Pier' and 'Boston Square' all sound appropriately massive, now as a six piece complete with 3 guitars and a dedicated keyboardist deliver the soaring choruses with aplomb.
It's a shame therefore that their set lacks any real momentum, gaps between songs filled with the awkward babble of front man James Veck-Gilodi is endearing at first but his constant thanking of the crowd gets jarring remarkably quickly. Whilst his songs give the illusion of rock superstardom a la Bruce Springsteen, his chat quickly drops the illusion firmly back to earth. A solid set that could have been a great one. There is no other live band that fit in to the 'solid' category than Jimmy Eat World. Undisputed veterans of the scene and today playing two sets, it's hard to level any criticism at a band that sound as tight, professional and surprisingly as relevant as JEW considering they're now over 20 years in to their careers.
Fitting 11 songs in to a 40 minute set is a lesson to Deaf Havana in what to do with the wasted times in between songs. The set's culmination in a festival wide sing along of The Middle is a highlight of the day, and whilst their set is uneventful it's a fitting way to spend the afternoon in a field in the sunshine.The Reading Festival house band Enter Shikari were up next on the same stage, usually so reliable live, often providing undisputed highlights of the festival, are sadly not quite in their usual inspired form. Their set is by no means a flop, tracks like the politically furious Ghandi Mate Ghandi and set closer Snakepit sound as impressive as ever, it's just disappointing when you know how incendiary this band can be.
The band are let down by a dodgy main stage sound losing the sonic nuances of their recent tracks which make up the majority of their set. Where new number Anesthetist sounded intriguing and powerful in the confines of the Hatfield forum earlier in the summer the unfamiliar tune is lost on the main stage and feels like a wasted opportunity to air one of a host of fan favourites omitted from the setlist. The bands political message, today demanding the protection of the NHS, is refreshing respite from the otherwise decidedly apolitical event. After a brief one-two catching snippets of SBTRKT and Vampire Weekend, the former sounding great on the NME stage complete with inflatable dinosaur stage set and wall to wall hits in Wildfire, and Trials of The Past featuring a pitch perfect Sampha.
Vampire Weekend on the other hand look as though they are going through the motions and the final few tracks of their set do little to make me wish I'd seen the start, dull.Finally it was time for the co-headliners to battle it out. In a fitting stage set Paramore emerged with their name in lights to perform a set that it's fair to say blew what was initially quite a curious crowd away. Blasting through a career spanning set list with Hayley Williams throwing herself around the stage sporting a new electric blue hair cut, it's very easy to find yourself completely captivated by one of the most impressive front women in music. Paramore effectively put on a pop show, this is pitch perfect, from the musicianship of Taylor and Jeremy now joined with ex Underoath sticksman Aaron Gillespie smashing it on drums, to their unique backdrop and light show marked throughout by confetti canons and streamers compounding the party atmosphere.
It was when their set took a turn for the unfortunate though that Paramore managed to cement their set as a memorable Reading moment, forever to be known as that time when their sound cut out and Hayley, Taylor and Jeremy lead the crowd through an astounding accapella rendition of 'The Only Exception'. The whole crowd singing in unison before the sound miraculously returned for the last chorus, as cliché as it may be you really couldn't have written it. The hold up does mean that some songs were probably cut from the bands set and the set closing trio of 'Part 2', 'Proof' and 'Ain't It Fun' all taken from last year's self titled LP is an underwhelming end to a barnstorming set.
They leave all in attendance wanting more, and it's a safe bet that with another album under their belts Hayley Williams and co will be gracing this stage again. Queens Of The Stone Age then emerge to ride off the wave of Paramore's fun vibes and pulverise Reading with the sort of brain melting, riff shredding, cool as fuck rock 'n' roll that noone does better. Josh Homme tonight is in full on rock star mode, donning a fresh Duster coat the 'ginger elvis' rarely ventures further than his amp to fill a glass of whiskey, yet what the band lacks in youthful energy they more than make up for in musical prowess.
Kicking the set off in riotous fashion with the opening one two of seminal album 'Songs For The Deaf', meaning No One Knows is the second song in the bands set, they start as they mean to go on. It'd be easy to forget just how many incredible songs QOTSA have under their belt, their set is full throttle, every single track sounds perfect thanks to the loudest and most powerful sound from the main stage in the 7 years since I've attended the bank holiday weekend. Cuts from new album 'Like Clockwork' are interspersed between an exploration of the singles from their back catalogue including the incredible opening tracks from 'Rated-R', when Josh Homme starts listing drugs to a Reading audience before descending in to a monologue about 'tonight being the night that we hold hands, try and get our heads right' it's clear that Josh is starting to embrace whatever he's chosen from his 'Feel Good Hit Of The Summer'.
The set is expertly paced as well veering from head banging riffs and mind melting solo's to arguably what Queens Of The Stone Age do best, the slow down. A smoldering 'Make It Wit' Chu' finds Homme pouring himself a glass of whiskey and smoking a cigarette before seducing the crowd in to submission. Aside from all of this there is a musicianship and professionalism that is not reached by any other band playing this festival.
Each of QOTSA current line up are all on their own musical wave length, rarely even looking at each other, rocking out, shaking their hips in their own worlds, sounding as tight as Alex Turner's trousers. It's a musicality that is matched by a minimal production, only occupying half the stage and accompanied only by an impeccable light show complete with lasers creating a roof upon the Reading crowd creating an illusion of intimacy, almost as if you're watching the band in their practice space back in Joshua Tree.
This is the sort of set that restores your faith in the power of 'guitar' music, and makes you question why the phrase 'guitar music' even exists, this is music at it's most visceral, it's most jaw dropping but most importantly at its most memorable. A brilliant day of music topped off with a sensational closing set. Read MorePosted on Tuesday, September 02, 2014 by Oliver HunterNo commentsA legend gets London dancing, but the "lost art of hip hop" remains unfound. "Tonight I'm gonna give you the lost art of hip hop…I'm gonna play that jam you ain't heard in a long time". Sharp in his trademark 'G' cap, Grandmaster Flash, one of the legendary pioneers of hip hop music, piles on a weight of expectation before he's even played a beat. The corporate Disneyland of the O2 isn't the infamous '70s Bronx block parties.
The unifying atmosphere of those famous sound-systems is a distant memory as Flash rallies an initially uninterested crowd. On one level he succeeds. Every song from Bob Marley to 'Getting Jiggy With It' is lapped up and sung back by a diverse, largely middle aged, Friday evening audience content to dance and drink the night away.The eclectic DJ set covers all corners of the musical spectrum at breakneck speed. Dropping clips of everything from AC/DC to UB40 and other predictable party fare including surprisingly little hip-hop. It's an approach that relies heavily on his Macbook; hardly the wax cuts of old.
Where once Flash would've let his decks do the talking tonight he repeats cheap calls to throw your hands in the air and make some noise, uniting at first but soon sounding like a broken record. The telling moment comes when he drops the beat to his magnum opus, 'The Message'. Without the unmistakable rhymes of Melle Mel that introduced rap as social commentary, it's just a beat, part of a greater whole and it falls flat. He says himself: "there are four distinct elements of hip hop", tonight only one is present, the DJ.Grandmaster Flash didn't fulfill the challenge he set; the forgotten 'jams' were predictable crowd pleasers and the 'lost art of hip hop' remains a mystery.

TOWN halls in the constituencies of some Conservative ministers have GAINED funding, a new analysis shows – while North-East councils suffer.
Six members of David Cameron's frontbench team are in seats where councils are enjoying boosts to their 'spending power' over this Parliament.
They include big-hitters Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary (Epsom and Ewell), Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt (Waverley) and Education Secretary Michael Gove (Surrey Heath).
Loading article content
All three have seats in the Tory heartland of Surrey. In the case of Epsom and Ewell council, spending power will rise by three per cent, over five years.
In stark contrast, every North-East council is struggling with swingeing cuts – the latest announced only last month – that have put services under fresh threat.
The steepest loss of spending power - combined funds from council tax, retained business rates, the New Homes Bonus and Government grants – will be in Hartlepool (down 24.5 per cent).
But Middlesbrough (down 24 per cent), Redcar and Cleveland (20.5 per cent), County Durham (17.3 per cent) and Stockton-on-Tees (17.2 per cent) are not far behind.
Durham County Council must slash another £23m from its spending in 2014-15, taking total savings since 2010 to £155m and on course to hit £242m by 2017.
The Labour-run authority is consulting on the closure, or privatisation, of five care homes, four years after shutting seven other homes.
Tom Blenkinsop, Labour MP for Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland, said it was clearer than ever that ministers had favoured their own Conservative areas.
He said: "It looks to me that the department for communities and local government (DCLG) gives out funding on the basis of who knocks on the door first.
"And if that person is a minister wearing a blue rosette then they get the money."
Ministers have insisted they have delivered a "fair settlement to every part of the country – north and south, rural and urban, metropolitan and shire".
However, they are seeking to replace what they call the "begging bowl" system, with rewards for councils that build new homes and attract new firms.
But the New Homes Bonus favours larger homes built in the South, often the same areas that find it easier to attract extra business investment A DCLG spokesman said: "Local government finance now puts councils in the driving seat, rewarding them with more income for supporting local enterprise, building more homes and backing local jobs."
Overall, the DCLG figures show the ten most deprived local authorities in England – including Middlesbrough - will lose ten times as much 'spending power' as the ten richest.
Hilary Benn MP, Labour's local government spokesman, said: "These figures are shocking. They show the direct impact of David Cameron's unfair policies."

Gangs Of Wasseypur is a cult blockbuster
Indian civilization is thousands of year's old and has million's of stories which are needed to be told but Bollywood which is trapped in the short cut method of love stories or "CUT AND COPY" has rarely delivered anything like Gangs of Wasseypur. Gangs of Wasseypur will be a game changer for Indian Film Industry. Normally I don't write my own point of view on any movies and always preferred to search for audience views. In case of Gangs of Wasseypur I have taken a different stand and presenting my point of view.
There are no Fiction: In this world there are no fiction, every story need's an inspiration from truth. 95% of the movies which we see in Bollywood have always a boring plot of larger than life which is different from the life through which Indian's have to go through. There is a serious insulation of imagination between the big production houses and what is happening in real India. Suddenly a band of director's have appeared in Indian cinema searching for real life stories. Anurag Kashyap is one of them.
Gangs Of Wasseypur is written by Zeishan Quadri who has grown up in the same locality and exposed to the events which happened in Wasseypur. First hero of Gangs of Wasseypur is the story. "Truth is Stranger Than Fiction" proverb actually fits for the audience of Gangs Of Wasseypur. It has amazed me and must have amazed the audience also because of Truth we have seen. Story and Script a winner.
Character's: Gangs of Wasseypur has may strong headed characters. Each and every character has ambition, greed, desire, revenge and their share of pain. Revenge and ego are the basic emotions's which drive's the rage in character's and story. Gangs of Wasseypur is also used as a plot to develop the story for the second part.
Entertainment: Can a violent movie be entertaining? Certainly, gangs of Wasseypur is a class entertainment. It has every element of entertainment from violence to comedy. Each and every element is ingrained in the story in a brilliant way that it fit's for the place. The basic problem with 99% of movies of Bollywood is that they want to run away from reality of the world. They try to achieve some sort of perfection which is not available. gangs of Wasseypur is a raw entertainment and Anurag has tried his best to maintain the rawness of any situation.
Gangs of Wasseypur has sex, violence, dialogues, abuse,murder, courage, arrogance, comedy and brilliant story to entertain you.
Music: Music is intertwined with the story and songs that the experience of watching this cult movie shift to different paradigm. Songs in the movie support a sequence and run in background. Song and music are made in tandem with each other to pulsate the experience of audience. There is only one place to have the experience of Gangs OF Wasseypur and it is Theater.
Direction: Anurag Kashyap has always tried to make projects which should be path breaking. The detailed effort which he has put in making the Movie is awesome. Anurag Kashyap has not tried to make it watchable. He has not tried to make perfect Gangs Of Wasseypur instead his effort to to make a movie which should be as close to reality has paid in terms of final product.
He has allowed each and every character to grow in their own realm and make their impact on story and audience. His ability to understand the body language which is required in a story is amazing. I expect more path breaking movies from him in coming years.
Anurag is a maverick movie maker who knows how to create characters in the movie who will sell them-self.
Gangs of Wasseypur is a cult blockbuster movie and it will be a guideline movie in Indian Film industry to make entertaining moving based on real events. I will recommend the reader to watch Gangs Of Wasseypur.

Must-See Movie
Time magazine has named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world. This summer, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's honored her with the Lifetime Achievement Award. She serves as an animal-welfare consultant for international companies like McDonalds, Wendy's International, and Burger King. Her work has transformed the design of cattle handling facilities worldwide. In fact, fifty percent of the cattle in the U.S. and Canada are handled in equipment she has designed for meat plants.
She is one of the most fascinating people I have read or listened to. Her name is Temple Grandin. And she's autistic. When she was four years old she couldn't speak a word. The doctors, at the time, wanted her mother to commit her to an institution. But her mother wouldn't accept that. Temple learned to read. She was tormented in junior high and high school. But she persevered, got into college, was almost expelled, and ultimately earned a PhD in animal science.
Recently, HBO produced a film about her called Temple Grandin. It is one of the best films I have seen in the last five years. It's full of drama, heartache, triumph, and good humor. When you're done, Temple Grandin will likely become one of your heroes.
Claire Danes does a fabulous job playing Temple. The movie also features Julie Ormond as Temple's mother, Catherine O'Hara as her aunt, and David Strathairn as Dr. Carlock. Earlier this year, the film won seven Emmy Awards. But I didn't need that to know how good it was. All I had to do was look at my wife and girls who sat rapt as the story unfolded. Get it on DVD. And if you want to know more about Grandin's ideas, go to www.grandin.com.
Squash Devils
My wife was recently possessed by an evil squash spirit.
How do I know this?
Simple. Have any of you out there ever been sitting around and suddenly got a mighty hankering for pureed squash? Even when you were in the Gerber bottle stage?
No, didn't think so.
So what else would explain her sudden need for a bowl of butternut bisque?
Alas, I did recall once having a tasty pumpkin soup in a fancy restaurant in California, and so I didn't immediately call the Brethren in for an exorcism. Instead I went to allrecipes.com and looked up a recipe for her.
I found "Butternut Squash Soup II" by someone named Maplebird, which inspired tons of confidence since all the great chefs are named after tree-animal mixes.
Then Nellie made the soup. I partook. And the evil spirit must have jumped into me because I'm telling you right now that I could not get enough of it. The mouth feel, the taste—the TASTE. There wasn't a thing squashy about it.
Folks, this is the real deal. And at least 494 other people out on allrecipes agree with me and have rated it an average of 4.5 starts out of 5.
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, chopped
- 2 medium potatoes, cubed
- 1 medium butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 (32 fluid ounce) container chicken stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Melt the butter in a large pot, and cook the onion, celery, carrot, potatoes, and squash 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Pour in enough of the chicken stock to cover vegetables. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover pot, and simmer 40 minutes, or until all vegetables are tender.
Transfer the soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to pot, and mix in any remaining stock to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Say a prayer and call for a priest or someone with the Melchizedek priesthood to be on hand just in case.
Burger Salvation
Okay, I know some of you are rolling your eyes. Squash? Have you got to be kidding?
If that's you, then let me recommend Five Guys burgers and fries. Burgers started to bore me years ago. But a buddy recently recommended Five Guys, and I'm so glad I went. They're a national chain. In Utah, we have eight of their joints from Layton to Orem.
They don't offer salads or wraps or yogurt. They make four kinds of burgers, three kinds of dogs, and two kinds of fries. That's it. You order the toppings you want–the regular things like grilled onion, cheese, and pickle, but you can also get grilled mushrooms, bacon, jalapenos, and BBQ sauce. More importantly, your burger is cooked fresh, right before your eyes. No microwaved unmeat retrieved from a mystery bin. It comes to you hot and juicy. The fries, cooked in 100% peanut oil, are served up sizzling. And there are a lot of them. I ate mine with a Cherry Coke.
If you're ever in the mood for burgers and fries, you've got to try Five Guys.

Nuremberg, Germany (SPX) Mar 22, 2016
Researchers have been mapping the centre of our galaxy in very-high-energy gamma rays using these telescopes - the most sensitive of their kind - for over 10 years. The results were published in the journal Nature on 16 March 2016.
The earth is constantly bombarded by high energy particles from space. Together these particles - protons, electrons and atomic nuclei - are known as cosmic radiation or cosmic rays. The question of which astrophysical sources produce this cosmic radiation has remained a mystery to researchers for over a century.
The problem is that the particles are electrically charged and are therefore deflected in interstellar magnetic fields, making it impossible to identify the astrophysical sources that produce them based on their arrival direction. Fortunately, however, the particles interact with light and gas in the neighbourhood of their sources, producing very-high-energy gamma rays that travel to the earth in straight lines. 'These gamma rays allow us to visualise the sources of cosmic radiation in the sky,' says Christopher van Eldik, a professor at FAU's Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics (ECAP) and deputy director of the H.E.S.S. collaboration.
When a very-high-energy gamma ray reaches the earth's atmosphere, it produces a flash of light that can be detected by reflector telescopes equipped with fast photo-detectors. Over the past few decades, over 100 sources of very-high-energy gamma rays have been identified in the sky using this technology. H.E.S.S., located in Namibia and operated by 150 researchers from 12 countries, is currently the most sensitive instrument that is able to record these rays. FAU researchers, who are responsible for analysing data as well as management tasks in the planning and technical co-ordination of the observations, make a significant contribution to the success of the project.
Researchers already know that cosmic rays with energies of up to approximately 100 teraelectronvolts (1 TeV = 1012 eV) - around 1000 billion times larger than the energy of visible light - are produced in the Milky Way. However, theoretical arguments and direct measurements of cosmic rays indicate that the cosmic ray factories in our galaxy should be able to accelerate particles to energies of at least one petaelectronvolt (1 PeV = 1000 TeV = 1015 eV).
While many sources that accelerate particles to multi-TeV energies have been discovered in recent years, so far the search for the sources of the highest energy galactic cosmic rays has remained unsuccessful.
An analysis of further observations made by H.E.S.S. between 2004 and 2013, which has now been published in the journal Nature, sheds new light on the processes that accelerate cosmic rays in the centre of the galaxy. In 2006, H.E.S.S. uncovered a very compact source of gamma rays in the region of the galactic centre, as well as diffuse very-high-energy gamma-ray emission from the surrounding area.
This diffuse radiation, produced when cosmic rays interact with gases in this area, provided a clear indication that there must be a source of cosmic radiation in this region. However, at the time the researchers were unable to identify it.
'In recent years we have not only collected new data but also refined the techniques we use to analyse it. We are therefore now able to determine the spatial structure and the energy of cosmic radiation in the centre of the galaxy for the first time,' Christopher van Eldik explains.
'The unparalleled measurements show that there is a particle accelerator in the centre of the galaxy that is capable of accelerating protons to energies of up to one petaelectronvolt. The researchers have dubbed such a source a pevatron - in analogy to the Tevatron, the first man-made particle accelerator that achieved an energy of one teraelectronvolt.
The centre of the Milky Way contains many objects that are capable of producing high-energy cosmic rays. 'However, the supermassive black hole located at the centre of the galaxy, called Sagittarius A*, is the most plausible source of the PeV protons,' says Felix Aharonian (Max-Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics Heidelberg, MPIK, and Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, DIAS), adding that, 'Several possible acceleration regions can be considered, either in the immediate vicinity of the black hole, or further away, where a fraction of the material falling into the black hole is ejected back into the environment, thereby initiating the acceleration of particles.'
Based on the measurements of the the gamma-ray emission from the centre of the galaxy, the researchers believe that it is likely that Sagittarius A* is accelerating protons to PeV energies. However, the measurements also show that this source alone cannot account for the total flux of cosmic rays detected on earth.
'If, however, Sagittarius A* was more active in the past,' Christopher van Eldik explains, 'then it could indeed be responsible for the bulk of today's galactic cosmic rays that are observed on earth.' If true, this would dramatically influence the century-old debate on the origins of galactic cosmic rays, as the theory that their components are primarily accelerated to PeV energies by remnants of supernovae - shock waves that occur after the explosion of massive stars - would have to be revised to take this into account.

Mark Gillem is an associate professor of architecture and urban design at the University of Oregon. His book America Town: Building the Outposts of Empire (University of Minnesota Press, 2007) draws on a decade in the U.S. Air Force, both as an architect and planner and as a faculty member of the Air Force Institute of Technology. America Town examines the forces behind the exportation of the American lifestyle to military bases abroad and explores the impact of this approach on foreign lands. He also contributed an essay on this topic to Indefensible Space: The Architecture of the National Insecurity State, edited by Michael Sorkin (Routledge, 2007).
Gillem addresses sustainability, social responsibility, and historic preservation through his research and his professional practice. The Federal Planning Division of the American Planning Association recently honored him with a design award for his compact development design for Aviano Air Base in northern Italy; Gillem's design creates the potential for NATO to return a 13-acre parcel in the town center to the Italian government. He received this recognition from the APA twice previously for air base master plans in Korea and Texas. Other honors include a Design Excellence Award from the U.S. Air Force and the Crocker Award for Teaching Excellence at the Air Force Institute of Technology. His diverse portfolio includes a renovation honored by the Berkeley Architectural Heritage Association (California) and pro bono designs for projects in New Guinea, Guatemala, and Indonesia. Gillem serves on the board of the International Association for the Study of Traditional Environments.
His practice, The Urban Collaborative (http://www.urbancollaborative.com/), is currently analyzing the potential for mixed-use development and infill to be created by the conversion of an arterial road in Eugene into a multi-way boulevard with funding from the Oregon Transportation Research and Education Consortium.
This lecture is part of the Fall 2013 Draper Architecture Lecture Series, which features CED alumni speakers. The series is funded by the Joan E. Draper Architectural Research Endowment. All lectures take place in 305 Wurster Hall, and are open to the public. Refreshments are provided.

The best-known pelicans are the two species called white pelicans: P. erythrorhynchos of the New World, the North American white pelican, and P. onocrotalus of the Old World, the European white pelican. Between 1970 and late 2009, the smaller, 107–137-cm brown pelican was listed as endangered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Though the brown pelican once bred in...
...bats hunt by echolocation, emitting a pulsed, high-frequency sound—in the manner of a ship's sonar—while flying; the sensory data thus gained guides them to their prey. A flock of white pelicans will cooperate to form a semicircle and, with much flapping of wings, drive fish into shallow water where they are easily captured.

Got my clearance order from SpecialTeas today – quite happy with it so far. This Winter Blend is distinctive – slightly spicy, slightly fruity, well balanced. I like that I can pick out the flavors of orange, coriander, and pistachio, not just cinnamon. It is similar to Harney and Sons Holiday flavored tea, but I think this is less fruity. An absolute steal at $2.63 for 4oz.
The pistachio came out especially strong on a second steep (~5 minutes).
1tsp/6oz, taken with cream.

We probably will never see our money again but maybe if we let others know we can save someone else from going through the same thing. I am going to complain to the BBB and anywhere else I can find and hopefully something will be done. I am sorry you went through this.

NEW ORLEANS -- Al Hirt, whose power and technique made him ''The King of the Trumpet'' in the 1960s when he won a Grammy for his hit ''Java,'' died Tuesday. He was 76.
Members of his family said he died at home, where he has been in failing health since leaving a hospital a week ago. Cause of death was given as liver failure.
Hirt's virtuosity led him to 21 Grammy nominations in a career spanning more than 50 years. In 1964, he won a Grammy for best non-jazz instrumental for ''Java.''
At his peak in the 1960s, he played for John Kennedy's inauguration, starred at Carnegie Hall, and headlined numerous television variety shows, including his own ''Fanfare'' program on CBS.
In all, he recorded more than 50 albums -- four gold and one platinum. ''Honey in the Horn'' reached No. 3 on Billboard's Popular Music Album Chart in 1963; ''Sugar Lips'' won Billboard's favorite instrumentalist of 1965. In 1962 he was named 'best trumpeter' in the Playboy jazz poll, a prize he won for 15 subsequent years.
''He was one of the best trumpet players all around the world,'' said clarinetist Pete Fountain, a longtime friend who also kept his home in the Crescent City. ''He had everything -- technique, stamina, education.''
Hirt and Fountain started out together with day jobs as exterminators, killing rats and roaches by day and playing music at night. In those days, whoever landed the job would be called leader and wore a bow-tie on the stand.
They played together off and on for more than 50 years, and in recent years their bands, along with the Preservation Hall Band, toured as a package in the summers. Hirt missed the trip in 1998 because of bad health.
Born Alois Maxwell Hirt in New Orleans in 1922, he got his first trumpet when he was 6. Classically trained at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music, he spent three years in the U.S. Army as a company bugler, then began his professional career in 1946 as a member of Benny Goodman's Orchestra. He later worked with other big bands, including the Dorsey Brothers and Ray McKinley.
His first big break came in 1950, when he won second place in Horace Heidt's National Youth Opportunity Contest and was named solo trumpet in Heidt's band.
Real national fame came in 1960 when Hirt's Dixieland Six booked into a luxury hotel in Las Vegas. As much a showman as a musician, the 6-foot-2, 300-pounder's joyous music caught the attention of Dinah Shore and he became an instant success on TV.
A real homebody, Hirt tried to arrange his career into short tours so he could stay put in New Orleans with his wife and eight kids, near good fishing grounds for sea trout. His base became his club on Bourbon Street.
Later in his career he mostly toured and performed on television, with occasional local appearances at ''Jellyroll's'' in the French Quarter.
He considered one of his most important performances the 1987 solo of Handel's ''Ave Maria'' for Pope John Paul II during the pontiff's visit to New Orleans.

Customer Reviews
Great idea, poor controls.
The idea of this app is great! The cloud support, the website companion, the list on the phone all work like magic.
My problem with the app revolves around one key area which is the sensitivity to the touch controls. When I am scrolling up or down sometimes the app thinks I am clicking on a list item or swiping it away (as if I am checking it off of the list). This issue happens 100% of the time that this app is used (results are same for an iPhone 4 and 5).
If my complaint is fixed then I will revise to a 5/5 rating. Everything else is great about this app, but the one issue I noted impacts the entire time you are using the app and lowers the quality of a user's experience with this app.
What a Shame
I had this app for a while and loved it. I used it all the time! I loved the convenience and simplicity. Then one day I started to make a list and realized that part of my keyboard was missing. A toolbar was covering the top line of my keyboard and no matter what I did, I couldn't get to it. I deleted the app and found another which I didn't like. So now four months later, I tried this one again. Same problem. It's obvious that the developers have abandoned their product!
Believe the latest ratings-don't buy this!!
Looks like a pretty good app (from older ratings) was ruined by the April 2014 update. Now it is November and they have not fixed it.
I downloaded the app and tried to make an entry but the top row of letters on the "keyboard" is covered by a bar with functions (xCancel, symbols, Done) that do not work and trying to click on any of them types the unseen letters into the "Add product" box. Ridiculous!!! I want my money back!!!
