Kia may be preparing to launch a new version of its funky Soul hatchback. Reuters reports that a Korean Kia executive announced at an investor's meeting in Seoul that a new Soul would go on sale next year.
A Kia spokesman in the U.S. told us he could neither confirm nor deny the report of a new Soul. We wouldn't be surprised to see a new version, given that the current model is almost four years old. A new Soul might adopt the so-called "tiger" front grille that has made an appearance on new Kia models like the Rio and Optima.
Kia engineers are apparently quite busy: the company also is working on preparing a new version of the Forte sedan and a new Rondo people-mover, and soon will launch the Quoris flagship sedan.
The current Kia Soul (pictured) was revealed at the 2008 Los Angeles auto show, and went on sale in spring 2009. Despite its funky looks — and the fact that Kia was at that time still working to establish its reputation in the U.S. — the box-on-wheels quickly became a hot seller. In its first year on sale, Americans snapped up 31,621 Souls. In 2010 sales jumped to 67,100, then rose again to 102,267 last year. Through the first half of 2012, the Soul is Kia's second-hottest vehicle in the U.S., with 63,635 units sold so far putting the model on track for record sales this year.
Reuters also claims Kia was hoping to reach a new target of 450,000 global sales next year. That figure must be a mistake, as the company handily eclipsed that sales number already: last year Kia sold 485,492 cars in the U.S. and a total of 1.58 million worldwide.

Rugby World Cup 2011
Steyn suffers World Cup KO

Frans Steyn's Rugby World Cup looks set to come to a premature end © Getty Images
South Africa's Frans Steyn is set to be ruled out of the remainder of the Rugby World Cup with a shoulder injury.
Steyn, whose long-range goal-kicking is one of the Springboks' greatest weapons, suffered the injury during Friday's bruising Pool D victory over Samoa in North Harbour and while coach Peter de Villiers refused to be drawn on the nature of the injury following the game, he revealed this morning that the prognosis is not good.
"Frans Steyn is likely to go home," he said. "His shoulder isn't that good. The doctor will confirm it 100 percent this morning, but it's 95 percent that he's on his way home and that is a big blow for us."
De Villiers admitted that finding an adequate replacement for Steyn will be difficult. "I was lying awake on a replacement," he said. "What do we need really? That is what we have to look at now. I still have to make a few calls and see."
The Springboks coach also revealed that back-line trio Bryan Habana, JP Pietersen and Francois Hougaard had all picked up knocks in the game the victory that confirmed their passage through to the quarter-finals but he is hopeful that all of his wounded players will be fit for their last eight clash next weekend.
'All those guys have got battle scars, but we hope that they can recover to take their places this coming week," he said. 'I don't know what's wrong with us. When we get injuries, we get them in one position.
"We've had problems at lock (during the tournament), and yesterday (Friday) we lost three wings. So when Lady Luck turns her back on us, she turns it properly."

I received an email from a reader saying my mobile site doesn't work. I went to check it out and discovered that there is a problem. I'm not sure what is causing it or how to fix it so any suggestions would be helpful.
On both my iPad and iPhone if the page has to be resized at all (so only a problem when the iPad is vertical, but always a problem on the phone), the scrolling function doesn't work. You can scroll a tiny bit but then it gets stuck.
Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.
Also, I'm trying to make my body text larger but none of the codes I've tried have worked. Any thoughts?
Your site renders fine on mobile devices:
You can add this on your custom.css or QUick CSS
body p {
font-size: 15px;
Adjust the font size.
Hmmm… It must just be an iphone/ipad issue because it seems to work on android devices.
Thank you for the font code as well. It didn't work in the quick css but it did work when I added it to the custom.css. Thanks!
Hi tuttlephoto,
I would either disable the stats plugin or use #wpstats {display:none;} to remove the icon from below the footer. That may be the root or at least help.
Next, whatever is adding your google analytics to the header is setup incorrectly. Its not adding the actual tracking code in but instead just adding the plain text for it to the header. Add the entire script analytics gives you to the theme option for tracking code in the general settings.
Last thing to try would be disable Quick Cachce and see if that helps on iOS devices.
The topic 'Mobile Site Issues' is closed to new replies.

'Enthusiasts" more often than not gravitate to cars with styling that literally jumps off the pavement and performance capable of ripping it up in chunks but there's a sizable segment of buyers quite content driving something more, well, sedate and sensible.
It is to these good folk, who in their own more understated fashion likely still care quite as much about what they drive as those whose enthusiasm is more overt, that Toyota has sold a steady if not spectacular - unless you consider about a million impressive - number of examples of its full-size Avalon over the past decade and a half.
And why it injected a little rejuvenating Botox into the current aging matriarch of its sedan family to tauten any perceived sags or wrinkles - the third generation went on sale early in 2006 and was polished up a bit a couple of years later - and edge her a little further into the electronic age. The changes should keep the fleet's grand dame alive and kicking - or at least performing her always smooth and stately waltz - until a fourth generation appears, perhaps in 2013.
Which would be a year or thereabouts after the new Camry bows, which is important as it is this mid-size Toyota that has provided the basic platform architecture and mechanical components for the Avalon since its mid-'90s launch - although the Avalon is longer, wider, taller and roomier than the Camry. The platform and components are also shared with the slightly trimmer-sized Lexus ES350.
The Avalon, now only available in XLS trim and priced at $41,100, isn't just significantly larger than the top-of-the-range Camry, but takes a substantial $5,000 bigger bite out of the bank account. An ES 350, however, starts at just $1,050 more, which must make it a little confusing for potential buyers.
The styling changes are about what you'd expect for a nip and tuck: new grille, multi-reflector projector beam headlights, front fascia, chrome rocker panels, LED rear lights, reshaped fascia and exhausts and foldable, heated, self-dimming side mirrors that incorporate turn signals.
Improving outward appearances is always important - although the Avalon still blends better than it stands out on the average streetscape - but how owners feel on the inside is probably more so.
Changes for 2011 reflect this with a new instrument panel and bright Optitron gauges, steering wheel with additional functions and a redesigned centre stack with touch-screen navigation standard, a back-up camera, USB input port, Bluetooth connectivity, and satellite radio which you can now listen to on a 660-watt, 12-speaker JBL sound system. Headrests have been redesigned front and rear, too, to complement a safety package that includes seven airbags.
The Avalon's spacious cabin looks pretty Lexus-like with leather covering broad-based front seats that provide little lateral support, something that won't be relevant to most who sit in them. The rear bench will hold three and has a reclining backrest. Given the size of the Avalon, the trunk, at 408 litres, is actually smaller than that in the Camry.
Wood trim on the doors, steering wheel and console add that look and touch of luxury to this interior, which is effectively climate controlled, has big knobs and dials - and while electronically upgraded, it is not with anything too hard to figure out - and is quiet at highway speeds. The new headlights will brighten your night-time driving experience to a worthwhile degree.
The Avalon will also meet the expectations of those who decide to buy one in terms of power, ride and handling. It is powered by a 3.5 litre V-6 engine rated at 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque, which a six-speed automatic - that you'll only notice in operation if you're paying attention - delivers to the front wheels.
Those aren't bragging horsepower and torque numbers, but are more than effective enough, providing 0-100 km/h acceleration in about 7.2 seconds and for passing or merging a spring from 80 km/h to 120 km/h in about 4.5 seconds. Fuel economy is rated at 10.6 litres/100 km city and 6.8 highway, which isn't too bad and it runs happily on regular gas.
Not surprisingly, the Avalon's suspension is tuned to produce a calm and cushiony ride, which it does, but unlike full-size luxury sedans of old it manages to do this without bobbing and weaving like an empty plastic water bottle in a spring freshet. The steering has reasonable feel and the response from the front wheels is nicely linear and body lean is controlled well enough to deal with modestly abrupt avoidance manoeuvres. It's not unpleasant to drive, in other words.

'Interview' Magazine Highlights Lupita Nyong'o In Special Feature
Her beauty has been the topic of fashion for a couple months now, and Interview magazine is the latest publication to get on the Lupita Nyong'o train.
The actress posed for a special feature in the publication and spoke about her "12 Years of Slave" role and the on-set comradery. "We all felt like we were part of something so real and so necessary," she said. "It was a joy to go on set every day and tell these real people's story. Doing this movie, I discovered that joy is not the negation of pain, but rather acknowledging the presence of pain and feeling happiness in spite of it."
For the shoot, styled by Vanessa Chow she wore a flowing Valentino dress, red lipstick and no jewelry. Purely stunning.

Local scouts and cheerleaders held a carwash today at the Golden Corral to raise money for Children's Miracle Network supporting the Nationwide Children's Hospital. Project Coordinator, Jeffery Brewer, says that cars showed up an hour early to get in line for the carwash. "It's a great community event and supports a great worthy cause," says Brewer.
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and Zanesville High School cheerleaders helped to make this event a great fundraising opportunity.
"Very important because it gets us all together and it's a group project that's for a good cause. 100 percent of the money goes to the Children's Hospital and I think they're all enjoying it," says Assistant Patrol Leader Chance Garvin.
"It feels awesome. I love to help out with the community and meet new people. I love that stuff," says Girl Scout Ona Brewer.

House rules to include PPACA repeal exception ... Repeal vote set for Jan. 12 ... GOP to tell committees: Get to work on rifle shots ... Top Calif. regulator vows rigorous implementation
HOUSE RULES TO INCLUDE PPACA EXCEPTION – House Republicans plan to use a special exception in their budget rules to repeal the health care overhaul without paying for it. They say they don't have to pay to repeal a law that would cost taxpayers money, even if the CBO said otherwise. "No one believes that the job-killing healthcare law will lower costs, because it won't," said Michael Steel, spokesman for incoming House Speaker John Boehner. "That's why we've pledged to repeal it, and replace it with common-sense reforms that will actually work."
--Democrats are crying foul, arguing that Republicans are being hypocritical by proposing legislation that adds to the deficit, at least according to how the CBO is likely to score it. The Republicans' proposed rules require nearly all legislation to be paid for, with some exceptions, including one for repeal of the health care reform law. The proposed rules http://bit.ly/hVgmqZ The POLITICO story http://politi.co/fDitqI
Story Continued Below
(with an assist from POLITICO's newest health reporter, Brett Coughlin).
Good Tuesday Morning. "Are you going to Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage, rosemary and Pulse."
CLARIFICATION: THE SCHEDULE – The Rules Committee will meet Thursday, the vote on the rule will take place Friday and the final vote is set for Jan. 12. PULSE reported yesterday that a health repeal vote would come this week.
--THE REPEAL BILL – Not surprisingly, it gets to the point quickly. http://bit.ly/eaWSRo The POLITICO story http://politi.co/dTyCSo
REPUBLICANS TO TELL COMMITTEES: GET TO WORK ON RIFLE SHOTS – House Republicans also plan to offer a resolution next week instructing the relevant committees (Ways & Means, Edu & Labor, Energy & Commerce and Judiciary) to report on "proposing changes to existing law" that address many of their chief concerns with the health law. They include: provisions that create jobs, lower health premiums, preserve patients' ability to keep their health plan, provide people with pre-existing conditions access to coverage, reform medical malpractice, increase the number of insured, protect the doctor-patient relationship, provide states more Medicaid flexibility, expand personal responsibility, prohibit taxpayer funding of abortions, eliminate waste and don't accelerate the insolvency of entitlement programs. The resolution http://bit.ly/iexuKl
A LOOK AHEAD AT DEM MESSAGING – As they push back against repeal, expect to hear a lot of:
-Where are the jobs?
-Why aren't there any hearings on this?
-Look at the benefits they're going to take away!
"The incoming Republican Majority wasted no time in shattering its promise to listen to the American people and, instead, is putting forward a partisan agenda that starts with repealing important health care reforms and benefits," a House Democratic leadership aide tells POLITICO. "This symbolic action the House GOP is planning for next week won't create one job, and amounts to a vote to add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit, increase prescription drug costs for seniors, and put insurance companies back in charge."
"Republican leaders claimed that they would put all bills through regular order," Rep. Pete Stark's office wrote in a memo circulating on the Hill. "However, before the new Congress has even begun, Republicans are already poised to abandon their promises to shove through a massive bill that would increase the deficit, take away millions of Americans' health coverage, and make health care unaffordable for millions more."
--ONE E&C DEM: TIME TO "FIGHT LIKE HELL" – Peter Welch of Vermont is pushing a repeal bill amendment to protect health reform's popular consumer provisions (think: age 26 extension, end to pre-exs). While the amendment doesn't stand much chance of movement, Welch sees it as a crucial opportunity for Dems to hammer home what consumers like about reform. "The health care debate is going from the general 'Obamacare' rhetoric to specific, real benefits for real people," he told PULSE in an interview. "We're going to fight like hell to preserve those benefits. We're going to hold Republicans accountable." Welch's Dear Colleague Letter http://politi.co/gCjkgY
SIREN: TOP CALI REGULATOR FULL SPEED AHEAD ON PPACA – Los Angeles Times: "In his first official act, Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones ordered emergency regulations requiring insurance companies to devote at least 80% of their income to policyholders' claims in the state's individual insurance market. … A Democrat who served three terms in the state Assembly, Jones said the emergency regulations were 'part of a larger effort to implement national health reform.'" http://lat.ms/dZHv2W
PULSE WAIVER WATCH: OHIO IS A NO – After weighing the decision for weeks now, one of the country's larger insurance markets, Ohio, has decided not to seek an exemption from the new medical spending requirements. "We did a survey of our market … and made the decision based on that," Ohio Department of Insurance chief policy officer Doug Anderson tells PULSE. He notes that they will "continue to monitor our markets and if we see a disruption," look into a waiver.
Yes or Leaning - 12 (Ala., Alaska, Fla., Ga., Iowa, La., Maine, Miss., Nev., Okla., S.C., W.Va.)
No or Leaning - 18 (Colo., D.C., Idaho, Kan., Mass., Md., Mont., N.H., N.J., N.M., N.Y., Ohio, Ore., Utah, Vt., Wash., Wis., Wyo.)
NELSON STAFFER HOGAN GOES PRIVATE – The Nebraska senator's Deputy COS Michael Hogan bails for Ogilvy Government Relations, where he will be one of a dozen lobbyists working for the firm, which has its digs on 19th Street. Hogan, the former top lobbyist for the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, joined Nelson's staff during the run-up to health reform and was a prolific fundraiser. Perhaps in a bid to reach across the aisle to potential Republican clients, Hogan led his farewell message from the Hill with a quote from Teddy Roosevelt: "Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing." What, no FDR quote? Just sayin'.
PICK-A-DOC, CMS STYLE: CMS has revamped Medicare.gov and launched Physician Compare, touting it as a Web tool to help patients choose a doctor. The website now lists if physicians participate in a quality reporting program – the Physician Quality Reporting System – that earns them a whopping 1 percent bonus. It takes some digging for users to find the PQRI data for individual docs who participate. But if a doctor is not part of the quality-reporting program, there is no indication of that on the site. The site: http://bit.ly/hyBPYo
--THE BACK STORY: The AMA and docs who served on the now defunct Practicing Physicians Advisory Council – dissolved by the health reform law, courtesy of former Ways and Means Health subcommittee Chairman Pete Stark (D-Calif.) – had problems with the PQRS going back some time. Docs complained that they didn't trust CMS to get the quality data right, that claims processors were making bureaucratic errors on their reports and that docs should be able to review the information before it gets posted. The health reform law requires that CMS allow doctors to double check the information, and CMS officials tell PULSE that docs and the other providers on the site have had the opportunity for the past two months to check the data as part of a "confidential" reporting program.
WHAT GOP FINANCE HEALTH STAFFERS ARE WATCHING – The Committee's Acting GOP Health Policy Director, Rodney Whitlock, sent around a YouTube clip of Sen. Grassley thanking health staffers (and recent alums) for their service during his decade as top Republican on the Finance Committee. "I wanted to send a message to the Finance Committee health staff of what a wonderful job you've done in so many areas of health care issues," Grassley says in the clip. "At this period of time when I'm leaving the Finance Committee to move to the Judiciary Committee, I thought it was very, very necessary for me to say thank you for the great job you've done."

POLITICO Pro: Where Pros Go to Know. Launching February 2011. http://www.politicopro.com
** A message from UNITE HERE: We've all heard President Trump repeatedly speak about a need to bring drug prices "way down." And 77% of Americans agree that prescription drug costs are unreasonable. Trump also has gone on record saying that drug companies are "getting away with murder" – a point 73% of Americans agree with, saying drug companies make too much profit. Yet, Trump recently nominated drug company executive Alex Azar to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Azar's appointment would contradict Trump's pledge to "drain the swamp" and change Washington D.C.'s pay-to-play atmosphere, where a revolving door shifts federal regulators to high-ranking corporate execs, and back into government positions. Alex Azar's past as a pharma profiteer disqualifies him from DHHS. To learn more about Azar the Price Gouging Czar, check out this website, including a white paper examining his time at Eli Lilly. www.saynotoazar.org **

I write "only" in comparison to the Nats. Make no mistake, the Orioles are losing ground and running out of time.
They're also running out of healthy pitchers.
Bud Norris has a sore elbow and is being skipped in the rotation. Darren O'Day has soreness and tingling in his index and middle fingers on his right hand, and he didn't fly to Toronto last night. Manager Buck Showalter has hinted at another reliever who's dealing with a physical issue.
Closer Jim Johnson has nine blown saves, and his eight losses are tied with Jason Hammel for the team lead among pitchers who have been with the Orioles all season. Norris is 10-11 overall, 4-2 with the Orioles.
Michael Morse, acquired from the Mariners at the Aug. 31 deadline to be the big run producer for the middle of the lineup, is 3-for-21 with no extra-base hits or RBIs, and he's platooning.
Hammel will make his first start tonight since July 28. In four career starts in Toronto, he's allowed 14 earned runs in 22 2/3 innings for a 5.56 ERA. His only win came on Sept. 30, 2007 for the Devil Rays.
Yes, the old nickname.
Showalter raised the possibility of using Norris out of the bullpen. Norris has made two career relief appearances - in his major league debut with the Astros in 2009 and on Aug. 14 in Arizona.
Norris took the loss that day for the Orioles. Apparently, his elbow starting barking, too.
Otherwise, things are just peachy in Charm City.
Showalter keeps saying there are plenty of games remaining. Sixteen may not qualify as "plenty," but it seems that way inside the clubhouse when the gap in the wild card race is 2 1/2.
Even so, there's most definitely a sense of urgency among the players to string together some wins, to go on a run. It needs to begin in Toronto.
If the Orioles miss the playoffs, most of us will look back on the Aug. 12-14 series in Arizona. The Orioles had won four of five games in San Diego and San Francisco, but the Diamondbacks swept them, with Johnson blowing back-to-back saves - his eighth and ninth.
The Orioles have gone 12-17 since that last win in San Francisco. In some ways, it's amazing that they haven't disappeared from the playoff hunt, invisible to search parties.
I'm not sure whether Danny Valencia is only going to rake against left-handers and David Robertson, but he may as well stay in the lineup. Who's pushing him for playing time?
Keep in mind that Henry Urrutia won't be in Toronto, in case he was your choice.
Valencia is batting .548 (23-for-48) since Aug. 4. Ride him until the wheels fall off, or something like that.
The Orioles need a spark. Valencia is on fire.
Can this team overcome the loss of O'Day, an extremely important part of their bullpen? Can Hammel pitch like he did in the first half of 2012? Can Morse do more?
Can a winning streak, the kind that saves a season, begin in Canada?

Clarry Conners' 2013 Australian Guineas nominee Turnley is likely to miss both the Royal Sovereign Stakes in Sydney this Saturday and Flemington's $150,000 Group 3 CS Hayes Stakes (1400m) being saved for an easier assignment next start.
The progressive Olympus gelding is dually nominated for this weekend, Conners throwing them in the early entries for both the CS Hayes Stakes on Lightning Stakes Day in Melbourne and the $175,000 Group 2 Royal Sovereign Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens.
Despite the Royal Sovereign Stakes being worth a pretty penny in prize money and the CS Hayes Stakes being a traditional lead-up to the $600,000 Group 1 Australian Guineas (1600m) which is set to run back at Flemington this year on March 2, Conners is fairly confident he will bypass both races.
"I put him in that race and also the CS Hayes at Flemington but I think I'll take the easy option with him and wait another week and run him in a Benchmark 75," he said.
"He's going really well and I think he can step up but I want to make it as easy as possible."
Turnely improved on their three January runs when they stepped out at Canterbury on February 8, Tommy Berry guiding them to an eye-catching three length win when carrying 59kg in a 3YO No Maiden Wins Handicap over 1250m.
If they were to step up to the 1400m in the CS Hayes, a distance they won over at Hawkesbury last August, it would be their first black type assignment and give Turnley a chance to firm in the futures Australian Guineas betting markets too as they are currently a $126 roughie with odds led by first-up CF Orr Stakes champ All Too Hard ($2.30).
It is shaping up as a top edition of the CS Hayes Stakes this year with headline nominees including Bart Cummings' resuming Sandown Guineas runner-up Lunar Rise, Michael Kent's undefeated Host colt Philippi, the also unbeaten Peter Moody-trained Royal Haunt coming off a huge 4.5 length win in the Listed Manfred Stakes from the start of the month, and the Greg Eurell-trained duo of Force Command and Hosting who ran second and third respectively in the Manfred Stakes.
All the major fields for the weekend are due for release on Wednesday with acceptances to be published right here at Races.com.au so stay tuned.

IN POLITICS, MONEY USUALLY BEGETS DESTINY, and the smart money lined up early against Valley secession, with most smart politicos following suit. The big-name politicians sat this one out, choosing not to run either for mayor or for a city-council seat in the proposed Valley city.
And they made the right call. But Tuesday nights gathering of pro-secessionists at the Radisson in Sherman Oaks stubbornly refused to become a wake, precisely because the entire affair had the welcome air of an amateur hour about it.
Right here in 21st-century Los Angeles, in the high-gloss Gomorrah ofä sin and cynicism, was a preposterous and entirely refreshing gathering of ordinary Joes without money whod walked through neighborhoods, believing they had a chance to get the most votes. Just about everyone in attendance was a secession leader, or one of the 111 candidates for local office, or a close relative. It wouldnt have been much of a final Valley frat party without them.
Consider Joseph Martin, 57, an environmental engineer, who spent $1,000 and walked through three pairs of shoes. Next to him, in a handmade, genuine Wyoming cowboy hat, was 60-year-old artist Jerry England. Hed spent $6,700, and championed the preservation of Chatsworth-area horse properties under the motto Roundup Some Respect. Hed considered rounding up votes on horseback, but the liability if someone gets kicked is not good.
Martin lives three blocks from England, and the campaign turned them into drinking buddies by Tuesday night. Martins peeve is poorly planned development, a theme that would apply equally well in East L.A. or Pico-Union. But he likes Englands issue, too: I remember being able to ride a horse from Chatsworth to Van Nuys without having to step foot on concrete or asphalt.
England nodded: We all have a remembrance of a Valley long gone. We all blame politicians and developers. And whats left we feel we have to fight for.
Audry Myers, who moved to the Valley in 1953 at age 10, remembers a safer era. You could sleep with your windows open, and you didnt need to lock your doors, said Myers, a social worker in a red, white and blue sweater. There seemed to be more police and less crime. We didnt have the potholes and cracked sidewalks. I dont remember the traffic. I feel trapped, betrayed, exploited and violated by the city.
This conclave was fueled by nostalgia and hope and burnished with litanies of individual and neighborhood grievances. For Laurette Healey, the co-chair of the campaign, it wasnt about horse property so much as the exorbitant business tax. Healey had focused the failing campaigns resources on the Valley itself and had the satisfaction of seeing about half of Valley voters favor secession, which may be enough to keep the flame alive.
It certainly will burn eternally for true believers such as attorney Tony Serritella, who asserted, Our passion is greater than Mayor Hahns ability to raise funds to destroy a popular movement.
If secession had made it through, some friendly neighborhood folk like England and Martin would suddenly be governing a metropolis the size of Philadelphia, with all the complexities they dont remember from the Valley of their childhood. Theyd finally have gotten their shot at doing things right, at least until the big-money boys came in and took charge.

But it was not to be on this round. By Wednesday morning, the Radissons Del Mar room had cleared out for a Costco orientation. And the International Association of Shopping Centers was set to commandeer the California room.
Valley council candidate Don Larson is ready to resume giving Los Angeles a try. Hed already organized a city-sanctioned neighborhood council in Northridge. And stodgy old L.A. has approved his plan to call his neighborhood representatives kapunas, and their meetings will be referred to as a gilgamish.
I actually like Los Angeles, he conceded.
Tracy West, whose husbands cousin ran for office, chose a different sort of solution some time back. She moved to Santa Clarita: Luckily, its not affordable to a lot of people.

At 40, Ali Zentner, a doctor specializing in internal medicine, is in the best shape of her life. Ten years ago, the Vancouver native was 175 pounds heavier and felt the gym was unsafe, but fitness adventures such as climbing Mount Kilimanjaro boosted her body confidence. Now CBC's Village on a Diet expert is in gear to cycle across Canada as part of the CYCLE4 National Relay Ride, Aug. 13 to Sept. 4, raising funds for diabetes research.
My goal
"Ride 100 kilometres a day [on the relay]and maintain my weight."
My workout
"I gave up my car three years ago, so I bike to work and back 28 kilometres a day times five days a week. That's two hours. In addition, I do triathlon bike training 30 to 45 minutes at an easy pace. Weekends I do a long ride, 60K, and one 40K the next day. I've added more distance and hill training for the Rockies.
"Monday, Wednesday and Friday I swim 2K.
"Monday and Thursday I strength train and do planks and sit-ups. It helps injury prevention. I started that in February in preparation to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, which I did in May. It's hugely beneficial in terms of muscular endurance.
"Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday or Sunday I run 5K.
"I drew the routine from a training schedule for Olympic triathlons, but I'm open-minded to adjust it to my schedule."
My lifestyle
"I'm a physician working full-time. I do on-call one weekend a month. I get eight hours of sleep a night. My husband and I get up at 6:15 a.m. to walk the dog and have coffee.
"I eat a modified carb diet, self-taught, 25 to 30 grams of protein at each meal, three times a day. Carbs come from fruits and vegetables.
"I hate gels, so I do half a peanut butter on whole wheat or high-protein Bonk Breaker bars in peanut butter and jelly on long rides. Post-ride is a piece of fruit and milk or cheese or yogurt. A friend who does marathons said chocolate milk is the best recovery drink, but I think it's brunch."
My motivation
"As a physician who promotes health and activity, I'm motivated to be the real deal when talking to patients about health. In Vancouver it rained recently and my patients asked, 'Did you bike here today?' I said, 'Ya,' and I like being an example, otherwise, it's just a chat."
My anthem
"The new Brandon Flowers CD, The Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga and Weightless by Natasha Bedingfield. I listen to books on tape when riding and I have an underwater MP3 player, so I can listen to Lewis Black's comedy. But in the pool I was laughing so hard I was choking, so I stopped that."
My challenge
"Finding the next crazy thing to do. I don't know how I'm going to top this year. After this, I want to swim Alcatraz."
The critique
Brendan Brazier, a former professional Ironman triathlete and formulator of Vega Naturals, based in North Vancouver, B.C., offers advice.
Mix up training pace
"People often ride too hard for easy days, and then can't ride hard enough for hard days because they're tired. Quicker shorter rides build strength, which will translate to better efficiency, making the 100-[kilometre]days easier, so Ali should vary her effort. One workout is warming up 15 minutes easy spinning, then doing 10 by five minutes - each five minutes is incrementally harder at threshold - with five-minute rests in between, once a week," Mr. Brazier says.
Snack all day
Mr. Brazier, author of Whole Foods to Thrive, says as intensity drops and duration goes up during long rides, Dr. Zentner's body will burn an even mixture of carbs, protein and fat, and that she must fuel accordingly.
"I suggest coconut water or apple juice, and mix that with … a vegan- or plant-based protein powder in a 750-millilitre water bottle; she gets the carbs from the juice, as well as protein and fat that help stabilize blood sugars, to carry her through. And once she's riding 100 kilometres a day, she can snack all the time on good energy bars or on bananas, walnuts, apples and salads, which has chlorophyll that reduces inflammation from cycling."

Come hear stories, ask some questions of our panelists and share your story as well. Dessert reception to follow. More details can be found here.
Tomorrow at sunset is the start of a one-day Jewish holiday, Tu Bishvat. It's a bit of an odd one... Probably best known by kids at religious schools for the fruits and nuts they eat, known by environmentalists as the holiday for the trees and known to others as a mystical holiday. While it might be a bit of a mystery, it's also a great one to celebrate because in its multiple identities, there is something for everybody.
Tu Bishvat is an old holiday, millennia old. Over the years, it has come to mean different things to different people. Some call it the birthday or new year of the trees, others blow by it without noticing. Want to learn more about it? What is Tu Bishvat Anyway?
Aaron Kagan, a local foodie in rural Massachusetts, created a Tu Bishvat seder that could include his non-Jewish partner and their Jewish and non-Jewish friends. After all, is there a Jewish holiday more appealing to someone from another faith than Tu Bishvat? Who doesn't want to hang out, have a few drinks and talk about fruit? Read more in Tu Bishvat: Interfaith Friendly, Jewish in Nature.
Still looking for more information about this holiday? On the blog, we looked at the reasons for the various spellings of "Tu Bishvat" and how to celebrate it, including many different seder ideas. Read more in Tu Bishvat.
In his bi-weekly column, Nate Bloom offers up the inside scoop on a rash of recent split ups and divorces, from Christina Aguilera and Jordan Bratman to Mila Kunis and Macaulay Culkin. Read more in Interfaith Celebrities.
As Cantor Ronald Broden points out, "Especially with the increase in interfaith marriages, the choice to send a child to a religious school...is not an easy one to make.... Parents often choose to maintain religious traditions associated with the holidays at home, instead of sending kids to school to learn about them." And this can impact having a bar/bat mitzvah in a synagogue. Read more in A Bar and Bat Mitzvah Alternative.
It's been a while, but we're happy to announce the return of The Hitch, our wedding blog. Our newly engaged bloggers, Mia and Ethan, will soon start blogging about their plans for their wedding, the decisions they're making about religious elements, and more. (I personally hope that Ethan's step-father, a rabbi, will chime in...) Read more in Introducing Our New Couple!!
On a more somber note, we blogged about the passing of Debbie Friedman, z"l, whose music made Judaism more accessible and welcoming to many in our community. Read more in Debbie Friedman z"l.
Galit Breen wrote an article, originally titled "Why We're Not An Interfaith Family, And Why We Are." When Galit met her husband ten years ago, he was a Catholic boy from the Midwest. He was the "Epilogue" of her thesis. Read more in I'll Conversion Talk If I Want To.
On the blog, we wrote about Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, who comes from an interfaith background. We looked at her religious background and the choices she made to take on Judaism and then examined why this was newsworthy. Read more in Gabrielle Giffords and A Shame That It Takes a Tragedy.
Do you have an interesting story to write for us? You know we're looking for holiday (Purim, Passover and Easter) content and more parents to blog for us, but if you have another idea that you'd like to pitch, feel free to contact me.

Despite of the release of smartphone with full video playback functionality, a PMP is not yet a thing that should be entered to the museum or discontinued. Cowon has just released their new PMP called C2 with full touchscreen display like a tablet. Even if it's not capable of making call, Cowon C2 is still a product that worth your second look when you are in the market for a portable media player.
Specification wise, Cowon C2 is featuring 2.6-inch screen supporting up to 320 x 240 pixels, has built-in battery that could handle up to 10 hours of video playback, had video output A/V (no HDMI port, sadly) and it will be available in several capacity model including 4GB, 8GB and 16GB. If the internal storage is insufficient for you, you can stuff in a microSD card to the provided slot and add about 16GB storage at max.
Cowon haven't released the detail for this C2 PMP yet. However, it should be a product that will compete in price with the super duper smartphones like HTC, Motorola DROID, Samsung Galaxy S, etc. Also, you might not be able to get one of this if you are not in Korea.

Two alternative functional forms of the demand for money that focus on how an economy as a whole adjusts its cash balances have been discussed in the literature. One functional form is obtained by regarding the money supply as exogenous and the price level as endogenous and the other by regarding the money supply as endogenous and the price level as exogenous. In this paper the author has offered a third view, a general view which regards both variables as endogenous such that the two alternative views are special cases. Subjecting these hypotheses to empirical testing, the author finds that the Canadian data for the period of 1973-86 reject the two special hypotheses in favor of his general specification.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Whether it be in Las Vegas or the various preseason power rankings all over the Internet, the New England Patriots have been chosen the AFC East's team to beat for 2009.
Miami Dolphins outside linebacker Joey Porter takes offense. Porter declared Friday morning that the road to the AFC East title will come through Miami this year, and the Dolphins are the "champions until proven otherwise."
"I don't understand how you can put somebody in front of us," Porter said Friday morning after he and quarterback Chad Pennington were named co-winners of the team's Dan Marino MVP Award in a ceremony at Joe's Stone Crab Restaurant on South Beach.
"We won the championship. We were AFC East champions. I just don't think it's supposed to happen like that. You've got to beat somebody to be the champs. We had to beat somebody to be the champs."
The Dolphins pulled off one of the most dramatic single-season turnarounds in NFL history last year, after Bill Parcells signed up to run the team's football operations and cleaned house.
With new general manager Jeff Ireland, new head coach Tony Sparano and Pennington running the offense, the Dolphins rebounded from a one-victory campaign in 2007 to edge out the Patriots for the AFC East crown. The Dolphins and Patriots each went 11-5, but the Dolphins made the playoffs on a tiebreaker.
"I feel that we've put ourselves in position to be a championship team," said Porter, who led the AFC with 17.5 sacks last year. "The doubting is over now.
"We proved that the AFC East comes through Miami, and having that feeling, knowing that we're the [division] champions until proven otherwise," he added. "Our mindset is to win the division, set ourselves up for a playoff spot and then anything can happen once we reach the playoffs.
"That wasn't always the thought a couple years ago. Last year, coming here with a new coaching staff, we didn't know how it was going to pan out. Now we've seen how it pans out. So we can get ourselves in position so we're not just happy with going to the playoffs anymore.
"We're thinking about championships."
Tim Graham covers the AFC East for ESPN.com.

Update: 'Laramie Project' anti-gay heckler identified as Michigan Assistant Attorney General
by Jessica Carreras
Originally printed 5/20/2010 (Issue 1820 - Between The Lines News)
The anti-gay heckler present at the May 8 "Laramie Project" rally to counteract Westboro Baptist Church has been identified as Michigan Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell. Shirvell was seen at the rally calling University of Michigan's openly gay student body President Chris Armstrong a "racist liar."
Shirvell, a University of Michigan graduate and Ave Maria School of Law 2006 alum, is known for his history of vocal and written protests against abortion, LGBT rights and the election of Democrats, including President Barack Obama, whom Shirvell claimed in a pre-election Facebook post would support pro-choice advocates, as well as "promote the destruction of marriage by appointing activist judges."
A licensed lawyer. Shirvell has worked under Attorney General Mike Cox for several years and served as his campaign manager for Cox's 2006 reelection. Cox, a Republican, is currently making a run for governor of Michigan.
Shirvell caught the attention of Michigan's LGBT community when, according to the Michigan Messenger, he posted a piece on RightMichigan.com bashing then-Triangle Foundation Director of Policy Sean Kosofsky. He later exchanged words with Joe Sylvester of the Log Cabin Republicans.
Then, on Feb. 7 of this year, a blog called "Cox Watch" purported to have e-mails between Shirvell and the Log Cabin Republicans where he was again slamming the group. "You are all sick freaks," the Feb. 3 e-mail from Shirvell began. He went on to say of LCR that "the grassroots will never let you and your butt-buddies ... hijack our pro-life, pro-family (Republican) party in pursuit of your perverted radical homosexual agenda."
A second e-mail from Shirvell stated that, "What I do on my own time - during lunch or here at home - is my business," suggesting that his activism is something he partakes in while in the attorney general's office in Lansing.
Michigan Log Cabin Republicans' Sylvester confirmed the e-mails, which were sent to him, as well as Justin Wilson and Tyler Whitney.
Shirvell's latest anti-gay heckling of UM student president Armstrong at the May 8 rally was met with calls for ignoring him. Some, however, didn't. Washtenaw County Commissioner Jeff Irwin, who is running for state representative in his district, called Shirvell a "bozo" at the event and attempted to take his poster, which read "Chris Armstrong = Racist LIAR" and reported Armstrong's affiliation with the Order of Angell, a by-invitation-only honors society at UM.
On his blog, "Chris Armstrong Watch," Shirvell referred to Armstrong as a "viciously militant homosexual activist" and contended that he, along with other participants in the "Laramie" counter-protest were "mocking Christians."

OK- I have made changes based on feedback from another poll. Husband and I are ttc this summer. We have a son named Harold, who goes by the nn Hal. We feel fairly confident of our boy name, but have been stuck on the girl name for some time. To further complicate things, we would love to use a family name. Here are our new names we are considering. Thanks in advance for your vote and/or feedback. By the way, this will be our last child.

Rogue Arizona sheriff refuses to comply with Feds
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is at it again.
A lawyer for the rogue Arizona sheriff who's staked his position as one of the most vociferous defenders of Arizona's new draconian immigration law now says his client will not comply with a request from the Feds to turn over documents related to a civil rights investigation.
Arizona's new immigration law requires officers enforcing other laws to check a person's immigration status if they suspect the person is in the country illegally. Critics have labeled it racial profiling, and the Obama Administration has taken moves to overrule it.
Arpaio, who polices the most populous county in Arizona, has drawn national attention for his aggressive tactics.
In July, the Maricopa County Sheriff said that if protesters want to block his jail over the new law, he'd put them in it.
Arpaio told Good Morning America that he didn't understand what the "hype" was about the law.
In April, Arpaio also claimed that driving immigrants out of the US would create job openings for US citizens.
In April, the sheriff said of the civil rights case — in which he's now refusing to turn over documents — that "60 days into the Obama administration, [Obama] sent his Justice Department down to the Phoenix area to investigate me for alleged racial profiling. It's been a year and a half and nothing has happened. So, we know how to enforce the illegal immigration laws without racial profiling."
Robert Driscoll, Arpaio's attorney, says the sheriff is refusing because the Justice Department's request is too broad.

Legal Question in Traffic Law in South Carolina
license revocatoin
I failed a road test at three times.
The DMV examiner gave me the paper about my license's revocation. It has been about 1 month since I must apply hearing to get drive license.
I didn't apply for hearing yet.
If I apply for hearing, I need a witness.
what kind witness do I need?
What should I do to get drive license?
If I apply for the other state, is it possible?

Item Discontinued
Layout created using LYB's latest release called Splash!
Dont you just love when you can sit down and a layout comes together quite effortlessly? This was easily one of those layouts! I 100% attribute that to the busy background patterned paper that I chose to build my layout on. While this layout may scream out as a typical Tania-style layout, I have to admit that designing it was a bit outside of my comfort zone and I anticipated that it would take me much longer to settle into a place where I felt comfortable gluing down the pieces. Im not usually one to use the busier types of patterns as my background, but this time I wanted force myself to get a little uncomfortable and try to stretch myself a bit. In all honesty, the patterned paper did all the dirty work for me. Choosing the boldest pattern in the collection helped fill up a lot of that empty space that I feel often needs filled with embellishments to bring a layout together. From there, the layout as a whole needed very little additional embellishing other than the photo and 6x6 decorative-edge cardstock that I turned into a journaling spot.
A few tips to share: 1. If you like the look of the vellum tape but want it to be more opaque and to work as more of a patterned paper strip, simply stick it to the straight edge of a piece of white cardstock and trim off the remaining cardstock as you see Ive done here with the green chevron strip. 2. If you want to type journaling onto the 6x6 decorative-edge papers, I recommend attaching the paper piece with temporary adhesive to a carrier sheet (a scrap piece of printer paper or cardstock), then putting that through your typewriter. It will help keep the decorative-edged paper from slipping inside the typewriter and will ensure your journaling is visually appealing. The same can be done through your printer, as well.

[Plugin: NextScripts: Social Networks Auto-Poster] FULLTEXT option pulls in more than the text post
When posting through to Tumblr, SNAP pulls the full text PLUS the Like button and Like count, which is not part of the text of the post. I have asked Ludwig about this several times after he very helpfully addressed a number of settings issues last week, but have not gotten a reply yet to this issue.
I have come to SNAP after having lost the ability to use Tumblrize when Tumblr performed an unexpected upgrade.
A user on another forum reported that SNAP also pulls through ads from the bottom of a post, ads that are not part of the post text.
Any help would be appreciated. I currently am having to go to each Tumblr post once it's transferred and remove the Like text and count.

Patek Philippe to Unveil 3 New Chronograph Calibers…
Baselworld 2010 is officially on, and Patek Philippe, arguably the most prestigious watch brand on the planet, is off with a bang! This is the new and sporty looking Patek Philippe Perpetual Calendar Split-Seconds Chronograph aka Patek 5951P.
Patek Philippe Ref. 5951P
Split-seconds monopusher chronograph with a perpetual calendar
In this beautiful watch, Patek Philippe is bringing to life its new CHR 27-525 PS split-seconds chronograph movement. This is an impressive watch caliber (movement), from what I can tell – not only does it drive the rattrapante chronograph, it is of course a perpetual calendar –all an overall movement height of just 7.3 mm. Of course a movement like this deserves to be seen – and so Patek put sapphire-crystal display back on the back of the platinum, cushion-shaped case. Was that really fair to say, now that I must tell you I don't yet have an official photo of the movement? Oh well, plenty to enjoy on the front side of the watch 🙂
I am not sure yet of the other specifications – most particularly the case size – I'll get back to you on that!
Be sure to keep an eye on Perpetuelle.com's Official BASELWORLD 2010 for many more new watches!

Just days away from the Super Bowl, Chris Clemons and Tarvaris Jackson are teammates on the Seattle Seahawks. In fact, they're two of only six members of the roster who are older than 30. They're veteran leaders, and they say they're friends. But only a few short years ago, Clemons made highlight shows nationwide by posterizing Jackson in a wild-card game between Clemons' Eagles and Jackson's Vikings in 2008.
Clemons rolled his eyes when I asked him about it this week, embarrassed by a play that embarrassed his current teammate.
"It was funny afterwards," Clemons admitted, "but at the time we were trying to win a game."
Clemons says it's been brought up "once or twice" but Jackson isn't so sure.
"We're not going to be friends anymore if he keeps bringing that up," said the backup quarterback. "It kind of pisses me off a little bit that we're still talking about this in 2014."
As Jackson was playfully ranting, another player overheard our conversation and cut in.
"He knocked TJ's socks off, literally," said the teammate, whom we'll keep anonymous due to the sensitive nature of this story. "It's on NFL Films."
"Most of the guys have seen it," Jackson said. "I'm pretty sure he brought it up because a couple of my teammates brought it up to me last week, so he had to bring it to those guys."
So, what happened on that now-infamous — yet legal — body slam?
"It was a bad decision," said Jackson. "I jumped in the air. He was like, 'Why did you feel so light?' I said, 'Because I jumped.' He said, 'Why'd you jump?' I don't know. I had nowhere else to go. I was just trying to make sure that the guy didn't score, but he still scored and it got me on YouTube getting smashed. But that won't happen again."
Clearly, the sore spot has come up in conversation.
"We had that conversation once or twice," said Clemons, "but it was never anything that was out of malice. Once the ball is snapped it's all out, so he understood it the same way I understood it."
"He's a very good guy," Clemens concluded. "We've hung out a few times.
Easy for him to say.

Mi-3 from Xiaomi will come in two flavors: packing a Tegra 4 or a Snapdragon 800
Rumors about the newest handset unveiled by the Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi, the Mi-3, turned out to be true! At their launching event from Beijing, they've presented the smartphone that comes in two versions regarding the processor, either a Snapdragon 800 with four Krait cores (for China Unicom), or a Cortex-A15 cores (for China Mobile) both clocked at 2.2 GHz.
The price tag set for the 16GB model is RMB1999 ($327) and for the 64GB version is RMB2499 ($408), with the mention that it will start rolling out next month in China and afterwards in Hong Kong and Taiwan. For the rest of the world, no mentions for the moment.
The device measures 144x72x8.1 mm and only weighs 145g, presenting a 5-inches IPS display and sporting a 13MP rear camera paired with a 2MP front-placed snapper. The Mi-3 will operate on Android 4.2.1.
Below you can see the promo video for the new smartphone and we think that's awesome!
Just to remember you, Xiaomi is a Chinese company which designs, develops and sells smartphones, apps and consumer electronics. They are really popular in China and we adore their marketing strategies, which seems to be developed as a ''cult of Apple''.
What do you think about the Xiaomi Mi-3? Would you buy it to be your everyday smartphone?

this shirt is crap VOTE FOR MINE! http://www.designbyhumans.com/vote/detail/65346?page=1
ahaha….a turkey hand….nice idea bro…
i love it.
great. but the blue version doesn't work for me. brown is good, but white would work too!
what works the best in this illustration is that archaic image of a hand, that transforms into an animal when you see it in closeup. the other stuff (parachutes, text bits) are superfluous;)
The brown is the best, I think! I like the different colored feathers you added in that one :)
Great humour. I agree that the brown is the better one. +1
i like the brown best too. (:
haha, awesome tee
hey cool
very cute +1

Janus Capital Group of Denver says Scott Schoelzel, portfolio manager of the Janus Twenty Fund, Janus Adviser Forty Fund, Janus Aspen Forty Portfolio and related products, plans to leave the firm at year-end, after 14 years with the fund group. Schoelzel has not announced any future career plans.
Schoelzel will be succeeded by Ron Sachs, manager of the multi-cap growth Janus Orion Fund and other related portfolios. Sachs joined Janus in 1996 and has led Orion since its inception in June 2000. Set to take Sachs' place as the head of Orion is John Eisinger, equity research analyst and contributor to the Janus Research Fund.
Janus CEO Gary Black says Schoelzel has "had a stellar investment career," adding, "his 10-year track record on Janus Twenty distinguishes him as one of the premier investors in our industry."
The Janus Twenty Fund outperformed its benchmark, the S&P 500, based on 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year annualized total returns as of June 30, the company says. In 2004, the Janus Twenty Fund was Lipper's No.1 ranked large-cap growth fund. Both the Janus Twenty Fund and Janus Adviser Forty Fund Class S shares have five-star risk-adjusted Morningstar ratings and Lipper Leader recognition for total returns and consistent returns as of July 31.
"I've always believed in Janus and knew that we'd endure and emerge stronger than ever," Schoelzel says. "Now that we've done that -- it's time for the next generation of managers to continue the journey. I've celebrated 10 great years running Janus Twenty--it's time to consider new challenges."
"In many ways, our styles are naturally quite similar," explains Sachs, a former strategy consultant and securities attorney. "Like Scott, I have used a high-conviction, low- turnover approach in managing Orion."
Janet Levaux is the managing editor of Research; reach her at email@example.com.

Alley - Poem by Rose Lu ( Bing Hua )
May or June
the rain is gentle so is the wind
in the sleepy alley
myths are written all over the walls
a woman, leaning against the window
bathes herself in the afternoon sun
at the other end of the alley
a pair of eyes appear
bright and hot as July
gazing from May or June
into the distant October or November
beautiful lines are constantly being inscribed
on the walls in the sleepy alley

Sealed with a kiss: Arg wins Lydia back with TOWIE's most romantic gesture ever
Well, well, well. We never knew James 'Arg' Argent had it in him.
The tubby crooner has managed to win back ex flame Lydia Bright after presenting her with the most romantic gesture ever seen on TOWIE.
Arg enlisted the help of a gospel choir to help him get the girl, as the Essex lads and lasses enjoyed a Grease themed party in the series finale.
Confronting Lydia at the bash, Arg presented her with with a pair of shoes he'd tried to give her twice before but she'd rejected.
"I'm gutted the way things have messed up recently. The last five weeks I've had the time of my life," he said.
Talking about the rumours he'd had a threesome while he was with Lydia last time they were together, he added: "When I made those mistakes, I was just a kid. I know that I would never make these mistakes again."
He then popped a blindfold on her and walked her to a bandstand, where he reminded her about the first time they said 'I love you' to each other, detailing how they danced around her bedroom to Westlife's Flyling Without Wings.
Taking off her blindfold, Lydia then was shocked to see the choir singing the song.
"I want you to know however long it takes, I'll wait for you because I love you so much," Arg said. "Can I kiss you?"
And with that the lovers fell back into each others arms (and mouths) and finally got back together.
Elsewhere, the long-running feud between Ferne McCann and nearly-sister-in-law Chloe Sims finally came to a disappointingly undramatic end, as they called a truce at the party.
"I regret some of the things I've said massively," Ferne said, before Chloe added: "If you're ready to move on, I'm ready to move on."
The Wrights were also back to being happy families (kinda) following Jess and Carol's bust up with Leah and Elliott at Leah's wedding in Alicante.
But will everything stay rosy for the Essex lot over the summer?
Find out when TOWIE returns later this year.

Think Right - Poem by John Udeaba
The mind tends to fail when called to the trail of right
It appears to be inactive and dormant
Like a pond without a channel of flow
Fermentation covers the body; indecision is born.
Like an electric shock and proactive it becomes on the path of unright
Emanating different sorts of thoughts: hurting the inner being
Obstinately, impatiently and persistently it flows on the course of actualization-Objectives.
The inner being is forlorn.
Put to right, the body rejoices and glitters on the lime light; which is completely concealed when put unright
The inner being attains and maintains a proper position
Favour abounds.
Although, difficult it appears
Striving in persistence, rightfully, we shall
Accommodation to nature, grant shall we
Improved and Developed the CROWN shall be.
Therefore, friends let us think in the right manner, for the one that thinks in the right manner improves, but those that think unrightfully remain on the path of 'BAD'. While those that do not think at all remain 'DOOMED' and 'DORMANT'.
My very good friends, Think Positively and Implement Rightfully to IMPROVE.

When Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold dreams, it's apparently in sepia tones. Or at least that's what the music video to new "Grown Ocean" will have you thinking.
The song boasts a lovely four-on-the-floor percussion and the Northwest band's typical reverb-drenched, country-hued acoustics. What's delightful is that nice pre-chorus progression, and little undercurrent of flutes that you'd never notice if you weren't paying attention. This song is awesome, and it's beautifully recorded.
The pleasant music video accompanying chronicles the "making-of," with a montage of images in between of bric-a-brac, a wedding (?), pretty girls sleeping in beds and sun spackling a window through trees. I can't award it with anything except the Stuff that Sends Me Off to Sleep superlative, but then again, Pecknold does elicit a lot of sleepy, positive energy.
"Grown Ocean" is featured on Fleet Foxes' forthcoming "Helplessness Blues," titled as such because, "One, it's kind of a funny title. Secondly, one of the prevailing themes of the album is the struggle between who you are and who you want to be or who you want to end up being, and how sometimes you are the only thing getting in the way of that. That idea shows up in a number of the songs," Pecknold says in a statement.
FF is him, Skye Skjelset, Josh Tillman, Casey Wescott, Christian Wargo, and newly added Morgan Henderson. We've premiered the title track to the new album already.
