BPO pays tribute to Dave Brubeck
Dave Brubeck loved Buffalo, and Buffalo loves him back. The Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra pays tribute to the late, great jazzman by welcoming the Brubeck Brothers Quartet, which features Brubeck's sons Chris (on bass and trombone) and Dan (on drums). They will play hits like "Take Five" and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" – and to complete the picture, they'll be welcoming, as a special guest, Bobby Militello. Militello played many times with Brubeck, and surely Brubeck's spirit will not be far away. Militello performs also at the post-concert party. In tribute to Brubeck's formative years on a California ranch, the Whole Hog Food Truck will be on hand.
The BPO's Tribute to Dave Brubeck takes place at 7 p.m. Friday in Kleinhans Music Hall. Admission is $19-$49. For info, call 885-5000.

Hiding the government's liabilities from the public makes it seem that we can tax our way out of mounting deficits. We can't.
A decade and a half ago, both of us served on President Clinton's Bipartisan Commission on Entitlement and Tax Reform, the forerunner to President Obama's recent National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. In 1994 we predicted that, unless something was done to control runaway entitlement spending, Medicare and Social Security would eventually go bankrupt or confront severe benefit cuts.
Eighteen years later, nothing has been done. Why? The usual reason is that entitlement reform is the third rail of American politics. That explanation presupposes voter demand for entitlements at any cost, even if it means bankrupting the nation.
A better explanation is that the full extent of the problem has remained hidden from policy makers and the public because of less than transparent government financial statements. How else could responsible officials claim that Medicare and Social Security have the resources they need to fulfill their commitments for years to come?
As Washington wrestles with the roughly $600 billion "fiscal cliff" and the 2013 budget, the far greater fiscal challenge of the U.S. government's unfunded pension and health-care liabilities remains offstage. The truly important figures would appear on the federal balance sheet—if the government prepared an accurate one.
But it hasn't. For years, the government has gotten by without having to produce the kind of financial statements that are required of most significant for-profit and nonprofit enterprises. The U.S. Treasury "balance sheet" does list liabilities such as Treasury debt issued to the public, federal employee pensions, and post-retirement health benefits. But it does not include the unfunded liabilities of Medicare, Social Security and other outsized and very real obligations.
As a result, fiscal policy discussions generally focus on current-year budget deficits, the accumulated national debt, and the relationships between these two items and gross domestic product. We most often hear about the alarming $15.96 trillion national debt (more than 100% of GDP), and the 2012 budget deficit of $1.1 trillion (6.97% of GDP). As dangerous as those numbers are, they do not begin to tell the story of the federal government's true liabilities.

MessageDigestResourceVersion generates a hash of the file content which will be used as the version. As of now this doesn't take transformations by CSS/JS compressors into account.
This is problematic if you have a faulty compressor and your clients have already downloaded such a resource. By fixing the compressor you achieve nothing because the client happily keeps its faulty compressed version (by default for one year) as the hash didn't change. You either have to change the resource file (which is difficult for built in resources) or change the mapper path. The same holds true for other compressor improvements.
This issue isn't really limited to only compressors. If a resource output isn't only based on the resource file input then a wrong hash will be generated. IResourceVersion should always make the decision on the final output.

John Guidetti posts Instagram video of Micah Richards doing the Daniel Sturridge dance
Clearly the influence of Daniel Sturridge in the Manchester City changing room remains.
John Guidetti (when will see him resurrect his career after such a great spell at Feyenoord?) posted an Instagram video on Monday afternoon of Man City team mate Micah Richards performing the now familiar Daniel Sturridge celebration dance.
After three goals in three games, culminating in three Liverpool Premier League wins this season, it is little wonder the Daniel Sturridge dance is not catching on elsewhere…

I rode hard yesterday and I'm tired today. :rolleyes: Plus, its gonna rain. :o
Cause the weather Guesser said it was going to rain all afternoon (and it didnt').
Ohhhhh it rained like crazy here for hours.... but that's not really why I didn't ride.... I didn't ride cus I wuz a bum....
Can't ride today. The new TV is being delivered by UPS. :beer: Time? Who knows? Sometime before sundown.
LOL...... Kind of funny I was afraid to leave the house this afternoon because UPS was set to deliver $2000.00 worth of parts to build a new PC for a customer. And in my neighborhood its not really a good idea to leave boxes on the porch like that. Not to mention when it rains, it rains sideways in Florida.... lol
Just busy all day really... Just didn't make the time for a ride :(
But I did get the PC up and running....
Got my new bike put together and ready to go tomorrow.... Pics tomorrow.... :D
Way too windy and Mother Nature has all the blooming plants/flowers/trees on overload. :notamused:
I took the MTB to the trails, got everything set up and ready to go and noticed my cleats wouldn't click into the pedals. Then I noticed that I had on the shoes with SPD cleats but the bike had Crank Bros. Candy pedals. :rolleyes:
not today...too many errands. But, tomorrow for sure!
I didn't ride today, because I took off of work. Why did I take off? Cause tomorrow I'm riding (as a volunteer course marshall) the annual club's charity ride. Going to ride to the starting point, do the 42 mile loop, and ride home, should end up being over 50 miles. I'm stoked!
Rested today after yesterday's big workout. Made a few adjustments on the Specialized and ordered some new handlebars for it.
NOPE ... NO ride today.... cus Monday's suck!! Errrrr I mean I'm always so busy on Monday's. :D
Only if the spinner @ the gym counts. 12 miles on it. :-)
(guess I posted in the wrong place) too early
It was sunny all day and I was almost mad that I didn't ride to work until the doom started rolling in just before quitting time.
The Weather guessers got it right this time it actually did rain so I didn't feel bad about driving in.
I'm ready for July so I can get Phil's voice back in my head. Sadly, during the winter he seems to have been replaced by Jeremy Clarkson. "Oh God! Seriously? Is that all you've got?!"
NO ride today .... <sigh> .... Spent most of the day in Gainesville doing stuff. If I would have been doing stuff solo.... I would have taken the bike and hit the G.ville Hawthorne trail..
Celebrated a late Mothers day with my mom today in St. Augustine. We were both busy over the weekend so we planned a day today. Had fun!!!
I don't remember scabs hurting so much when I was a kid. Why, oh why does it have to be on a bendy place?
No ride today for me..... BAD headache all day.. It has dulled a bit, long enough to mess around on here for a minute or 3.
<sigh> I got new pedals in the mail today.... But I don't feel like putting them on the bike let alone ride after I put them on.... :(
The constant throbbing means it's healing, right? Urg. Tomorrow is day 5. Guess I'd better HTFU and just ride to work.
Headaches are no joke either. If you don't throw a pill on them in time they can really wreck you.
No ride Friday but I did manage to make it to the bike shop. And just as I thought he didn't have any of the "aero/bladed" spokes.... or whatever you call them. So he ordered some for me.
<thinks to self.... I really need to sell a bike> .....
I have thoughts (right now just thoughts) of getting on the bike in the rain... It went from 92 to about 72... But... I don't really like the lightning... I could have got out for a ride this morning but .... grrrr... I had a job to finish... Person needed their laptop back to get some school work done today... About the time I got the laptop done.... of course it started to rain... and has been raining ever since...

Jans Laugesen Fall 2008 Fashion Show At London Fashion Week
The Next Earnest Sewn Pop Up A Far Cry From Trovata
Jans Laugesen showed his A/W 08 collection today at London Fashion Week. Laugesen's collections are currently sold at London's cutting edge Dover Street Market, and are destined to be featured in the next pop up at Earnest Sewn in New York. Laugesen has channeled a slim, masculine silhouette for his fall 08 collection. The aesthetic is not unlike Karl Lagerfeld's personal style where strong shoulder tailoring, leather gloves, and high necklines make for a Bladerunner meets Bullfighter style. Laugesen's collection is also align with the mood of London Fashion Week which has proven to be much more severe than that of New York. Frankly, if you're long and lean (and shy away from anything described with the words 'rosette' or 'bubble') this collection is your ticket to fall 08.

While the old 'Prnt Scrn' still works in Vista to capture the entire screen to the clipboard, you then need to paste that image into a program so you can grab the part you want, and save it to disk. Vista's new Snipping Tool simplifies this task.
Available under the Start menu's Programs/Accessories (or simply type Snipping Tool in the search box), Snipping Tool allows you to capture the entire screen, the active window, a rectangle, or even a 'freestyle' selection. Once captured, it can save the file to disk as HTML, JPG, GIF, or PNG. If you have the mail program setup, you can also e-mail the file.
That's not all. Beyond just capturing and saving part of your screen, you can annotate or highlight parts of the capture with the pen and highlighting tools. Below I've captures a freeform window, highlighted a few things, and used the pen to draw an arrow and write 'OK!'.
In the next capture (part of the Snipping Tool's Help page) I turned off the colored line around the outside, and used the rectangular tool. It also contains some highlighting, and the pen was used in two different colors to underline text.
The new Vista Snipping Tool is a great addition, especially for someone putting together a tutorial like this. The ironic thing is that I couldn't use the Snipping Tool to capture the first two images on this page, since the interface disappears when you click to select something (so I had to fall back on Prnt Scrn). It did work for the last two, and very easily I might add, not only capturing my screen, but also my heart (violin music plays in background)…

Leather articles will react well to being cleaned with a soft, dry cloth without the use of any type of maintenance product or detergent such as polish or waterproofing. Use of an unsuitable product could cause damage to your bag or small leather article.
Soft and gentle brushing is more suitable for articles made of cloth, fur or velvet.
Buckles require no particular care or attention. Gold- or palladium-plated buckles do not tarnish over time, and a soft cloth is sufficient to remove any traces of fingers from them.
For each of its leather articles, Cartier carefully designs the lining so as to create a slimline and lightweight product and to make the leather even suppler. Specially designed to withstand the test of time, the lining can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth and a little soapy water (please ensure that the soap contains neither a fragrance nor a coloring agent).

If it isn't obvious already, Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions is the biggest fan-service attempt for Spidey-fans ever. Blending four unique takes on the iconic hero, each with his own unique world and art style, is no short order and it is a real treat for the famed wall-crawler's fans. No matter which Spider-Man you grew up with, chances are you will relive your childhood through this adventure.
The mainline series of the Spider-Man universe, "Amazing Spider-Man," is the character which most people will be familiar. Peter Parker swings around a bright and colorful world that is complimented with cel-shading techniques that really make the artwork pop. It'd be best to describe the artstyle as living, breathing, comic book come to life.
The next most popular universe is "Ultimate Spider-Man." Launched in 2000, this take on Peter Parker re-tells some of the origins a bit and sports a bold, high-contrast style. If you went into the comic book shop today, chances are this would be the book you would notice before the others. The visuals are striking and use lots of primary colors.
What's left are the underdogs. "Spider-Man Noir" and "Spider-Man 2099." "Noir" is obviously a darker and grittier recent take on the Spider-Man universe and most of the visuals are black and white; which play up the darkness of the shadows to great effect. "2099" on the other hand is a far-flung future where neon is king. Fluorescent colors streak across a busy future city, which honestly makes "2099" the most visually confusing universe of the bunch. Actually, since this is the Wii version, all four art styles could have been so much better if they could have had proper time to optimize for the platform. As it is, you can see the basic ideas of each art style, but the limitations of the hardware makes all the in-game visuals look outdated.
Although, on the audio front, the development team at Beenox knows what fans want. From the moment I started the story, Stan Lee himself narraed the adventure. Each version of Spider-Man also gets their own voice actor, including Neil Patrick Harris as "Amazing Spider-Man!" The other Spider-Men are also cast according to fan requests. Every notable voice actor that has portrayed the web-head in the past has their own role. The voice actor of the animated series from the 90's is represented, as well as the actor from the 1981 series, and the voice actor from the "Spectacular" series run from 2008 is here too. That, plus a lot of original voice actors for the villains, including Mark Hamill, really show that plenty of heart and consideration went into the casting and the game is better for it.

2016 Price Ranges Were Spot On, What About 2017?
Stocks opened the New Year on a positive note as the major averages closed with nice gains and the 3-1 positive advance/decline ratios were a good sign. The new high in the Spyder Trust (SPY) last week was confirmed by a new high in the S&P 500 A/D. The daily A/D lines did turn higher Tuesday but to signal a new rally phase we need to see several more days of strong market internals.
For many years I have lamented the financial media's focus on year-end projections for the major averages. The gyrations in 2016 forced many Wall Street strategists to revise their outlooks throughout the year as I reviewed several weeks ago (How High Can The Market Forecasts Go?)
I am lucky that unlike many of these market professionals my job description does not require that I make a year end price forecast. The price targets I provide are based on chart formations and other hard data not on projected earnings or macro views of the economy. The pivot price projections focus on the yearly price ranges but not where stocks will end up at the end of the year.
The discussion last weekend on the yearly price projections for the Dow Industrials spurred many email requests for a more in-depth discussion. The chart of the Dow shows that the pivot analysis based on the 2015 price ranges did a good job of identifying the Dow's price highs and lows for 2016.
The close on January 6, 2016 at 16, 906 was well below the Yearly Pivot at 17,048 and just nine days later the Yearly S1 support at 15,746 was violated with the Dow trading below it for two days. The actual low for the year at 15,450 (point 1) was 1.3% below the yearly S1 support. At the February 11th low (point 2) the Dow dropped briefly to 15,503 but one week later it closed at 16,413.
By early March, point 3, the Dow closed back above the yearly Pivot as it subsequently rallied 1000 points to reach a high of 18,167 on April 20th. This was just below the Yearly R1 resistance at 18,727. After the Brexit vote the Dow dropped to a low of 17,063 (point 4) but held just above the Yearly Pivot.
The Yearly R1 resistance at 18,727 was surpassed the week of the election (point 5) which made the next upside target at 20,029, the Yearly R2 resistance. The yearly high for the Dow at 19,987 was just 0.2% below the pivot R2 resistance.
For 2017, the pivot stands at 18,430 with the R1 resistance at 21,320 which is 7.9% higher than the 2016 close. The Yearly S1 Dow support at 16,873 is 24.6% lower.
The gains of the small cap iShares Russell 2000 (IWM) in 2016 were impressive. The chart shows that the January plunge took the IWM to $92.21 which was just below the Yearly S2 support at $92.39. It was not until early June, point 2, that the Yearly Pivot at $114.17 was overcome. On the sharp drop in late June IWM held above the May low.
The Yearly R1 resistance at $123.42 was exceeded in September but was not convincingly overcome despite several attempts. The pre-election market correction dropped IWM to $114.41 which was just above the Yearly Pivot at $114.17. The close on December 8th at $137.47 was well above the Yearly R2 resistance at $135.95.
The 2017 Yearly Pivot analysis for IWM is at $121.99 with the R1 resistance at $151.07 is 12% higher than the 2016 close. On the downside the Yearly S1 support at $105.73 is 21.6% lower. The completion of the monthly trading range that I discussed in How High Can The Market Forecasts Go? has long term targets at $159.91 with major support in the $126 area.
The pivot analysis can be done on any time frame but I focus on the monthly, quarterly and yearly analysis. I am currently working on a Trading Lesson that focuses on the yearly pivot analysis for the key market tracking ETFs and the major sector ETFs.
It will be sent out to subscribers of both the Viper ETF Report and the Viper Hot Stocks Report the week of January 9th. It will also be sent out to all new subscribers who will also receive the biweekly reports. Each service is just $34.95 per month and can be cancelled on line at any time.

Hey guys,
I've been lurking the forums for a good while now and I'm looking for a last bit of advice. Father's day is coming up and I'm looking get get my dad a dropper post. His frame has internal routing, and I know that he wants an infinitely adjustable post.
After a bit of price comparing, I found that the stealth Reverb is hovering around $450, about 150 more than I remembered; while the KS Lev Integra can be found for $330-375. From what I have generally heard, it seems that the reverb is no longer as reliable as it was last year, and that the Lev seems to require frequent maintenance as well. I am simply unsure of which direction to go in given the price difference.
Of course, stealth routing is a nicety, not a requirement. Any opinions are greatly appreciated.

More pink slips on the horizon at RIM?
All Things "D" tipster says that there will be some executives taking part in the layoffs which will take the company's head count from 16,500 to 14,500 or less. The Globe and Mail says that the layoffs could take part on June 1st which is the day before the end of RIM;s current 2012 Q1. And while this is unfortunate to those getting the pink slips, it seems to be a necessary evil in an attempt to make RIM a sleeker company that can more quickly add new technology to its devices. New CEO Thorsten Heins has promised improved execution and streamlined operations in a goal to save $1 billion dollars by the end of next year. CFO Brian Bilduka says that this can be done by utilizing layoffs. Before RIM started heading south, head count reached a peak of 20,000 as employees acquired in other deals were kept on to help supplement RIM's own technology. Some of the ideas used by the acquired personnel ended up being used in Black Berry 10 OS.
With CEO Heins on the record as being committed to making whatever changes would be needed to turn RIM around, the CEO can only do the things that he has control over. Heins can't force consumers to buy BlackBerry phones, but one thing he can do is cut costs to lower the handset's prices, which in turn should lead to more sales. And that is even before BlackBerry 10 is launched. This would be RIM's second restructuring in less than a year and the last data from IDC suggests that RIM accounts for only 7% of the world wide smartphone market.
A former RIM manager says that the company has been quietly laying off people while a current manager says the company has too many managers on the payroll, left over from the regime of former co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. Also allegedly bloating the payroll are some software specialists who are not involved with the various parts of the BlackBerry 10 operating system.

"But however much they try to save this company, it is damn sure that they have no chance to survive at all and RIM is finally going to be a dead company"

Yeah.bbos10 will never survive.
Samsung and apple fight for RIM's patents.

RIM could have implemented the plan that Balsillie put forward for converting the company to a services model based on BBM and dumping the handset business. That would be showing results by now, instead of rumored headcount reductions, RIM would be posting their first positive financial results in a while.
Oh well. Won't be too long before the market will force RIM to unload the handset business. I just hope BBM is still viable as a business model at that point.

ppl will always see the negative. aahh this won't save RIM ITS DEAD. Rim want survive!
you'll be eating your words when RIM is still around in 5 years time
5. nb2six (Posts: 298; Member since: 27 Apr 2011)
Oh they'll be around for sure. Just with 1000 employees filling office space.
6. Uzzelien (Posts: 131; Member since: 22 Feb 2011)
They might be around in five years...ten I don't think so. The best bet for the stockholders of RIM is a sell of it to MS, Google, or Apple. All three of them should fight over their patents for their BBM software right now. In 10 years though no one will care enough for it.

Managing alarms effectively
Alarm worksheets set a good foundation
Alarm worksheets, also known as configuration sheets or pages, are used to configure the setpoints and limits for the tag names, such as a HiLimit of 110 degrees for the "Temperature" tag with a nominal setpoint of 100 degrees. By spending time to set the alarm limits and deviations correctly, fewer nuisance alarms will be generated.
The alarm worksheets also contain message sections that correlate to the alarm, the priority, and the selection field—all to provide the operator with more information on the alarm. For example, for a HiLimit temperature alarm, within the worksheet users can set a message (Too Hot), a priority (0-255), and a "selection" that is a user-defined field such as "Tank2."
All the items in the alarm worksheets can be set as well as changed. Later on, we'll see how by including values in the messages, the worksheets enable easy filtering.
Alerting operators
The information on the alarm worksheets should appear on the screen as an alarm object. Once imported into the SCADA system, the worksheets should provide functionality to automatically e-mail alarm messages. Furthermore, the SCADA system should provide settings to control exactly when and how these alarm messages are sent. Some common settings are frequency, number of alarms, message format, response times, and escalation procedures.
Typically, the SCADA system default setting shows all active alarms, but these settings can be changed to only show certain alarms. The ability to have the "online alarm object" as the default setting, meaning it doesn't need to pull information from a database, is vital. This is important when operators only need to view current alarms as opposed to all active alarms over a longer time period
The SCADA system should also provide functionality to allow alarm data to be pulled from a database to get a view over a selected period of time, as this is often useful for troubleshooting by maintenance personnel and others. Characteristically, this functionality permits viewing of all alarms that have been logged. With many SCADA systems, alarms can be logged using a built-in PDF writer that turns alarms into a PDF document. This document can then be saved, e-mailed as an attachment, or printed as a report.
Using filters to manage alarms
Filters are one of the most important features for preventing alarm overload and insufficient prioritization of alarms. Most modern SCADA systems provide easy configuration of features that offer a wide variety of sorting and filtering mechanisms.
One of the biggest alarm management issues is that operators are inundated with low-priority alarms and therefore miss critical high-priority alarms through alarm fatigue and the inability to quickly distinguish an alarm's urgency. This is where a SCADA system with superior filtering mechanisms becomes highly valuable.
The first step in filtering was discussed in the worksheet section in which information can be prioritized to have only certain alarm limits appear. For example, the screen might display only Priority 10 and above alarms, or only the HiHiLimit alarms.
In addition to setting alarm priorities, plant personnel should consider SCADA systems that offer a filter dialog that includes an expression to let users customize the filter. For example, only HiHiLimit alarms that have the word "Hot" in the message are displayed on the screen in response to certain conditions. This expression can be hard coded, but to increase effectiveness it's often better to create a string tag that changes values during runtime depending on specific operating conditions.
When an incident occurs, hundreds of related alarm messages can be quickly generated. Usually, only one alarm is the root cause, and the rest are symptoms of the problem. This is where many SCADA systems fail because the operators have no way to distinguish the root cause from the symptoms. But, the ability to build strings based on key criteria can help operators locate the root cause of the problem quickly.
For example, temperature alarms may start appearing with messages saying, "Tank 1 temperature too high" or "Pipe 1 pressure too low." Operators must now quickly determine the root cause of why the temperature in Tank 1 is too high. The ability to filter all messages with a single word such as "hot," or with a phrase like "valve closed," can help them discover why the tank temperature is soaring. Wild card expressions can also be used to sort through words or individual phrases in the messages.
Unfortunately, many operators and even some plant managers have found managing alarms so burdensome they have almost considered them nuisances. This attitude can lead to important alarms being missed or ignored, a dangerous situation. It doesn't have to be this way, as alarms are a key part in monitoring plant operations and can be managed effectively using off-the-shelf software tools.
One of the keys to effective alarm management is selecting the right SCADA system, one that offers advanced and easily configurable alarm management features. These features should include alarm prioritization to alert operators of conditions that require quick responses. Filtering features are also needed to enable operators to quickly locate root causes.
Implementing these and other features of modern SCADA systems as part of an effective alarm management program will improve response to alarms. This will minimize downtime, increase safety, and keep minor alarms from escalating into major incidents.

If you have boys, you know how abnormal their toy interests can be. My son likes ordinary toys such as his army "dudes", Nerf guns, trading cards and anything that has to do with his Xbox 360 however he enjoys the creepy toys as well, like these S.L.U.G. ZOMBIES Scary Little Ugly Guys. I thought those were a relative strange toy, but the kids play zombie almost daily together, and now they throw darts with brains with the Scatter Brainz also from Jakks Pacific.
Scatter Brainz are seriously sticky deranged toy darts. The small darts have a sticky area that feels gummy like on the end that resembles a brain; see I told you this was wacky. The set we received was Series 1 that included 8 darts plus a target sheet. Each dart has a bizarre body posed on the dart and they all include names. The series we received has a dart from each collection of Scatter Brainz. For instance there are Odyssey's Oddities we received Medusa Oblongata. There are also Absent-Minded, Ring Tossed and several others. You'll notice that there are colored squares on the packaging next to the Scatter Brainz. Yellow means common, orange are rare and red are ultra-rare. Kids are going to want to collect them all!
So what did Gavyn think of these? Super cool and fun he says. The darts stick to anything and can be cleaned with water and left to air dry if they become dirty or covered in hair. The kids have been enjoying the games with the Around the World dartboard.
These include zany games for children to play. So not only does my 10 year old love Scatter Brainz my 5 year old daughter thinks they are also the coolest darts and loves that she can now play a game of darts. They are fun and rather weird but hey kids are going to enjoy them. They would definitely make an affordable gift for children.
With 64 darts available (and more to come), 8 different dartboards with unique gameplay rules and a brain bazooka to shoot the darts, playtime will continue for a while. The brain bazooka launcher has a rotating chamber that can hold five Scatter Brainz darts and accurately blast them up to 15 feet! My kids still play with these often even if it's just shooting each other with the brains. Oh and I should mention that if collecting Scatter Brainz gets out of hand, you can purchased the Mental Case which are carry cases. They open up to reveal a spinning backboard to use with the game board targets (4 included) so you can practice your aim on the go. Mental Case holds up to 50 darts and includes four exclusive characters and game board targets that you won't find anywhere else!
So as a reviewer I'll admit these are rather unusual toys, but who am I to judge? Kids 5+ are going to love Scatter Brainz, their weird body attire affixed to the plastic dart, and touching the gummy brains! Although unusual I confess they're totally creative.
Visit Scatterbrainztoys.com to learn more about these bizarre toys children will adore. Let them get their game on with a twist on the classic dart game in a safe way! Buy Scatter Brainz toys at Toys R Us prices start at $5.99 and all toys are sold separately.

Climate change mitigation - National Responses (Poland)
- Topic
- Climate change
The main measures supporting efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions include, first of all, increasing the energy efficiency of the economy, promoting and implementing technologies using renewable energy sources and absorbing carbon dioxide, taking steps aimed at reducing emissions from transport, as well as promoting sustainable forms of waste management, agriculture and forestry.
Poland ratified the Climate Convention in 1994 and the Kyoto Protocol in 2002, undertaking to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) during the period from 2008 to 2012 by 6 % by reference to the emissions in the baseline year 1988. For fluoridated industrial gases, Poland adopted 1995 as the baseline year.
The government document formulating the state environmental policy, including also as regards climate protection, is the National Environmental Policy for 2009-2012 and Its 2016 Otlook, adopted by the Sejm on 22 May 2009. The document sets out the objectives, priorities, challenges and directions and the main priorities of Poland's ecological policy over the next four to eight years, including the national reduction target arising from the Kyoto Protocol.
A decisive factor of the energy policy in limiting any increase in emissions is the introduction of high-efficiency energy generation and transmission technologies, including the modernisation of existing technologies. A very important element of the strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is to stimulate increased use of renewable energy sources in the energy sector. Another important element of energy policy is to increase the energy efficiency of the economy by, among other things, implementing Directive 2006/32/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2006 on energy end-use efficiency and energy services and repealing Council Directive 93/76/EEC (Text with EEA relevance), as well as the diversification of the power generation system over a longer perspective by introducing nuclear energy.
Other policies and measures implemented in Poland in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions include, among other things:
- in transport, promotion and use of biofuels and promotion of environmentally neutral vehicles,
- in the construction industry, expansion and modification of technical and building regulations relating to heat insulation of buildings as regards the heat escape ratio through external walls, efficiency of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems and domestic hot water systems,
- in agriculture, improved use of fertilisers, including nitrogen-based fertilisers (a fertiliser advice system has been introduced, helping to determine doses of fertilisers precisely), rationalisation of energy management, including generation of energy from biomass waste or manure; and popularisation of small widespread power generation sources,
- in waste management, the National Waste Management Plan until 2010 promotes measures aimed at preventing and minimising the generation of waste, waste recycling, neutralisation and waste disposal that is safe to human life and to the environment.

Too Much Protien? (not for the weak stomached)
Ok so my total protien intake per day is right around 350g. And my fat intake is roughly 150 or so while sticking to my CKD pretty tightly. the only carbs I take in are veggies, and there are 2g per protien shake.
My question is, I've been shitting like a fiend. and it aint pretty, there is no solidness to it. I feel as though i'm just shitting out the excess protien i'm taking in. And my stomach is really f'in with me. its letting me know that its time to empty out ya know.
what do you guys think? I dont really want to cut it back too much, but at the same time, i dont want anything running down my leg while i'm hitting the tredmil.
Protein, esp. powder needs a ton of water to digest. For now try drinking a mixture of 1/3 gatorade and 2/3 water because diarrhea takes alot out of you. :( What kind of protein are you on? Maybe you should try and switch it. If this has been going on for a while, maybe you're lactose intolerant? When I tried Nitrotech I got the shits every time I choked a serving down. Now I use 100% whey and VP2 without a hitch. There shouldn't be a reason as to why this is. My friend at the gym ingests about 500 grams per day and he's fine. (I think 60 grams every 2 hours) Since you are carb depleted and still weightlifting, I don't think you should scale down whatsoever. Try taking some Imodium AD with your protein. At least it'll help you go back to pinchin' loafs! :D :eek:
I am lactose intolerant, I know this for a fact. But I mix my protien (designer Whey) with water, and i've never had a problem before. I only use 2 to 4 shakes ed. depending on if its a lifting day or not. then two of them are pre and post.
I really get most of my protien from solid foods, and I'm drinking/trying to get a gallon or more ed of water. imodium sounds about right, i'll try that out and see what happens, i agree i dont want to drop my protien while i'm cutting. thanks 0311
Use the ON whey protein or designer whey then, I am lactose intolerant also but never had a problem with both of those brands. Well, fats are liquidy, u are getting most of your calories from fat. What do you expect for ur shit to look like?? :D
hahahah he called the shit poop.
I'm to opposite. Metamucil is my best friend. :o
i bet its that grainy poop that just makes your ass feel like you are shitting sand... gets to the point where you dont' even wanna crap b/c it would feel like you're sh!ting red-hot lava wishing you had a snowcone to wipe your butt with...
drink more water and get some fiber pills (and some TP with aloe, lol)
Why not eat an apple a day? Apple a day keep the doctor away :D Ofcourse I am talking about the doctor that gives enemas :D
actually it wasnt that kinda poop at all sdf, it was the kind where you sit down and as soon as your ass hits the seat, your pretty much done. like the door on the space ship was opened and every thing was instantly evacuated from the ship.
no apples, too much sugar ... ckd remember :D

I thought this little tidbit illustrated the difference between Chinese and US policy when it comes to housing.
In response to an unhealthy run-up in home prices in some parts of the country, China's Cabinet recently announced new measures to curb the rise, including larger down payments for second homes.
Among the changes, the Cabinet will now require a whopping 40 percent down payment on new residential mortgages for those who already own a home.
According to the Xinhua news agency, the move is intended to reduce property speculation, increase the supply of low-income housing, and speed up the construction of new residential housing projects.
During the run-up of housing prices here in the states a few years back, scores of banks and mortgage lenders welcomed 100 percent financing on second homes and even investment properties.
Not only that, but one could apply for a mortgage on an investment property with no money down and provide ZERO documentation. All you needed was a credit score.
Sure the mortgage rate was astronomical, but the idea was to sell or refinance in a matter of months once the home appreciated by some ridiculous amount.
Of course, the bubble burst and millions of foreclosures sprang up, leaving numerous speculative housing developments vacant while proving to be an ongoing drag on home prices.
Now I'm not saying China is perfect (or close to it), but it's nice to see a little restraint here and there.

STMicroelectronics Delivers Samples of Dedicated Processor Chip for All-Digital Car Stereos
Post a comment
Geneva--Aug. 30, 1999--STMicroelectronics (Saint-Genis-Pouilly, Cedex) has delivered to customers fully functional samples of a new chipthat allows consumer electronics companies to develop car stereos in which all of the key functions areperformed digitally, replacing traditional analog solutions.
The new chip, called TDA7500, integrates two Digital Signal Processor (DSP) cores, and all of theother functions needed to interface the DSPs to the rest of the stereo, on a single piece of silicon. Thecompany expects that the product will ship in volume quantities in the fourth quarter of 1999.
Using only digital techniques, the TDA7500 performs all of the basic functions like AM/FM and stereodecoding, volume, tone and balance controls. In addition, it can implement optional features like graphicequalizers and concert hall effects to differentiate high end products and new features like echocancellation and noise reduction, which are useful in convergence products where a mobile phone isembedded in the stereo.
A programmable digital solution like the TDA7500 has many advantages over the conventional analogcar stereo. The most important is that new features can be added simply by changing the software. Thismakes it easier for manufacturers to differentiate their products and also reduces manufacturing costs asthe same hardware platform can be used for a whole range of radios with differing capabilities, reducingengineering cost and giving economy of scale. Another benefit is that performance is constant anduniform regardless of environmental conditions or variations in the characteristics of components.

How important is it to have things in common with your group of friends?
Asked by Fluthyou (673) March 3rd, 2014
I guess there's general things you can have in common like music, books, films, art. Things that are nice to share. That also sort of leaks into how you like to spend your free time, your hobbies. Then there's values, moral compasses, that can also be tracked back to the above -what you consume and how you spend your time.
What if one thing, like schooling or being in a particular program brings you together but after awhile it becomes apparent that something's shifted?
I guess what I'm trying to ask, is what is the glue of friendship? Do common interests matter? Is it all chemistry? What is it?

Battered sofas and bicycles. Used shoes and faded fashions. Stereo speakers, TV sets. Collections of beer bottles. The occasional street sign. And miles and miles of carpeting.
It's an annual rite of college life: The trash and treasure that students leave as they check out, whether for summer or for good. And across the nation this spring, college officials at some 1,700 schools with residence halls are rolling up their sleeves.
"It's beyond comprehension how much stuff comes out of those rooms," says Gary Schwarzmueller, executive director of the Association of College and University Housing Officers International in Columbus, Ohio.
What underclassmen don't store for the summer and what graduating seniors don't take with them goes into trash bins and sometimes to donation boxes, to staff and to scavengers.
Until 1992, Schwarzmueller was housing director at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. During two decades of orientations, parents would ask: "What should I bring?" And he'd advise: "As little as possible!"
Schwarzmueller often went unheeded. "I used to get the biggest laugh out of seeing U-Hauls come in."
Deborah Tyson, assistant director of housing operations at the University of Denver, has worked in student housing at five schools.
She's seen students abandon broken TVs, street signs, plus "a lot of collections of alcohol bottles, with colored water that glows in the dark, and anything they've probably stolen along the way." She even spotted a car bumper in a dorm hallway.

Execs said they would not be surprised if little-used back-up running back LeGarrette Blount of the Bucs was dealt by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
Doug Martin has established himself as the starter in Tampa. Blount had a streak of 2 TDs in two games, but after falling short on a couple of tries last week, he seems on the outs and Martin received the in-close chances. Blount could have some value to a team as a big, change of pace back or possibly more. Danny Ware and Michael Smith would move up on the depth chart if Blount got moved.

Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount will get an MRI on his neck and his back.
Newcomer D.J. Ware is listed third on the Buccaneers' depth chart, ahead of Michael Smith.
Friday, July 20, 2012, 11:23am
Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Michael Smith has news for anyone who thinks the battle for lead ball-carrying duties will boil down to a fight between incumbent LeGarrette Blount and first-round draft pick Doug Martin.
"I look at it very differently," said Smith, a seventh-round pick out of Utah State who declared himself a contender following the first round of rookie training camp workouts Thursday at One Buc Place.
"Others may see it (as a two-man race), but I'm not out here just to be a third-down back. I'm going to be out here working and (looking) to start, to play immediately and to make an impact on the team."
Smith will likely start the season behind Blount and Martin, no matter what his expectations are. But should one of them go down, he looks like he could be the lead candidate for the RB3 spot on the Bucs. While he's not worth drafting in normal leagues at the moment, he certainly could be someone to pick up if there's an injury.
Wednesday, July 18, 2012, 6:11pm
The Buccaneers are likely to make use of a full stable of backs in 2012, as is the practice with most teams in today's NFL. Third-year player LeGarrette Blount is the returning starter and rookie Doug Martin is the prized newcomer, but it would be surprise if either of them failed to earn a significant role in Mike Sullivan's attack. There may also be a significant number of carries available for the likes of Michael Smith, Mossis Madu, Robert Hughes or De'Anthony Curtis.
Will Blount remain the starter or will that job go to Martin…and will that title even matter in the long run? The best-case scenario for the Buccaneers is a rushing attack that proves very potent, which will lead to more carries for everyone involved.
Much of it may depend on how versatile Blount and Martin prove to be. Obviously, being competent in the passing game – both as a receiver and, just as importantly, a blocker in the backfield – will increase the chances for either back to remain on the field for all downs. Martin was seen as that sort of multi-talented every-down back by scouts and analysts before the draft, and Blount is determined to prove that the same description applies to him.
It will also be interesting to see which back emerges as the team's best option in short yardage situations and around the goal line.
Martin is getting a lot of hype but the ideal situation is the team can use both backs - not so ideal for fantasy owners, however. Blount wasn't trusted last year in key situations because of fumbles, so it wouldn't be shocking if Martin emerges as the lead back at some point. Right now, the situation is too far up in the air to use third or fourth round pick on Martin.
LeGarrette Blount taking first-team repsThursday, June 14, 2012, 5:35pm
Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount has been taking the majority of the first-team reps throughout the OTAs (organized team activities) and the three-day mandatory mini-camp with Doug Martin being worked in with the starters occasionally, along with other running backs Mossis Madu and Michael Smith, the team's seventh-round draft pick this year.
Everyone expects Martin to overtake Blount eventually, but he's being drafted as if he has already won the starting gig. The scouts love Martin, but his college production (namely his 4.9 YPC against inferior competition in the Mountain West Conference) doesn't really measure up. Don't forget that Blount rushed for 977 yards and five TDs in the final 11 games of the 2010 season, and at that point he looked like one of the most promising young RBs in the league. He didn't suddenly forget how to run. He's not good in pass protection, but if Martin falters and Blount runs like it's 2010, he'll hold onto the starting job.

I think I shall try to pick up this album soon.
Album Rating: 3.5"The Infanta and most of the other songs are good but I happen to think that The Bagmans Gambit is almost the best song."
I agree 100%, except i think it's THE best song
Album Rating: 4.0Amazing reveiw. All of I've heard of these guys is 16 Milatary Wives, which was great. Should I start out with this record, or the first.
Ive downloaded there music before but now im wondering are there cds good enough to buy
Album Rating: 4.0Well I guess it depends whether you liked those songs or not. I would definitely recommend them, but if you didn't like the songs you heard then it seems a fitting conclusion that the albums won't be for you.This Message Edited On 03.26.06
Zebra, Eli's a weak point for you?
After We All Go Down Together it's my favourite track.
They are all good tough. Really are. Whereas, Castaways's last 2 tracks are unlistenable.
Fantastic review Med.
Bagman's Gambit is my least favourite on there; not bad though.
But by your name, IsItLuck?, I must respect your decision.
Album Rating: 3.0I just heard "The Mariners Revenge" for the first time, and it's pretty sweet! It's got a crazy story.
i have this album i just havent had time to really listen to it...from what i've heard already it sounds like a pretty good album
Album Rating: 4.0It's exceptionally good.
I've heard so much about these guys that I'm actually lead to checking them out =O
Album Rating: 4.5I love these guys, I was supposed to see them in concert a while back but missed the show :p. Nice review.
Album Rating: 4.5Yes it is, it's such a fun story to listen too. Meloy is a lyrical genius. I have a live show of him that they released. It's quite entertaining, he messes up to a song, I think it's 'Bachelor and the Bride', and has to have the crowd sing with him because he hadn't sung it in a while....
Album Rating: 4.5Meloy is incredibly talented. If you havn't heard his live at Beachcombers, I suggest you do. They put it up for free download a while ago, but I don't remember where and when. Either way, it's him and his acoustic, good stuff. This album is probably my favorite of the Decemberists. Beautiful.
Album Rating: 4.0I love this album. It is great...no it's fantastic.
Album Rating: 4.0On The Bus Mall is incomprehensibly brilliant. It's hands down the best song here, and likely the best song they've ever recorded.
Album Rating: 4.0Great album although the new one is better. Brilliant review, Med is the best reviewer on the site hands down imo.
Album Rating: 3.5This album almost sucks in comparison to Crane Wife.
Album Rating: 4.5Every time I listen to Sixteen Military Wives, I want this album more and more. I've got to get this ASAP.
Album Rating: 3.0I love The Mariner's Revenge Song. Does anyone know if they play it in concert?

Looks like Microsoft lost this deal. I think this deal is actually a way for Google to start tapping into more of AOL's userbase and content. Google can potentially gain so much more than advertisement space on AOL's web properties. I'm thinking of AIM, AOL users, Time-Warner's video content, etc. Incorporating Google branded software (Google toolbar, Google desktop, Firefox with Google search) in AOL cds could be another route. I'd expect to see many more Google/AOL deals in the future.
From the WSJ Article:
Time Warner Inc.'s AOL and Google Inc. have entered exclusive negotiations over a deal that would have the search giant pay $1 billion for a 5% stake in AOL, deepening their advertising partnership, according to a person close to the situation.
The talks shut out Microsoft Corp., which has been wooing AOL since January.
As part of the deal, AOL would be able to sell advertising among the search results provided by Google on AOL Web properties. AOL's sales staff would also sell display ads across Google's network of Web publishers.

No. The monad and the primitive operations ensure it is unique, the IO monad is abstracted away properly, and it all works neatly so you can't violate the uniqueness. However, the realWorld thing is not actually unique, for example unsafeInterleaveIO and unsafePerformIO violate this. Thanks Neil

So I'm having a bit of a weird moment here. The aroma of this tea before it's steeped is divine! it's sweet and reminds me of candy? When i sip on this, my first response is… buttered popcorn??
As i continue to sip it starts to become sweet like candy while still having this taste of buttered popcorn. It's the most bizarre taste that i've had. I'm looking forward to having multiple steepings of this one to try out. I know Indigobloom has mentioned her love of this one. This might be the first green oolong that i like…except it's truly a weird flavour profile for me. I'm going to go through a few steeps as well as try it again to see if i continue to get this buttered popcorn taste :) CREAMY buttered popcorn heh
Resteeps on this one become sweeter as I go

Click here to view this resume
To work as a local reporter, you need to create a resume that shows your skills both in front of the camera and elsewhere in the field. Our team of expert resume builders looked over this local reporter resume sample and found ways to make it stand out more. You can follow their tips to craft a solid resume for your own needs.
Use professional formatting
Most of the formatting in this local reporter resume sample is professional and easy to read, but a couple of minor changes would make it even better. The most noticeable issue is the font. While it's not necessarily hard to read, it isn't a typical font for use on a resume. Times New Roman is often the most readable and professional. Additionally, a bit of extra spacing would keep information from being too close together. Something as simple as an extra blank line between company names and bullet lists would help. Finally, be sure bullets are formatted properly. Even if they are longer pieces of information, bullets should not end in periods.
Separate highlights from skills
Highlights include personality traits that would be beneficial for the position, such as this local report resume sample's mention of being deadline-driven and ethical. However, skills involve specific abilities you've learned. This sample mentions experience with Final Cut Pro and Adobe Audition under its highlights, but these should be in their own section for skills.
Be specific about accomplishments
The section for accomplishments on this local report resume sample has relevant information and is mostly well-written, but one bit of information isn't as strong. The applicant mentions Smart Meters in West Texas – Concern or Convenience was a linked story for StateImpact Texas report, but it isn't quite clear why this is relevant. If she wrote the story, she should specify so. Specific information will help the hiring manager decide if you could be right for the job.
Create a better experience section
The dates listed on this local reporter sample resume shows the applicant had a five-month gap in employment in 2013, which might read unfavorably to a hiring manager. In cases such as this, you should avoid listing dates on your resume. If you're called in for an interview, you'll have the opportunity to explain any gaps in your employment then. In addition to omitting dates, be sure the rest of this section is in the correct tense. Two of the listed jobs are ones the applicant is currently working, but she switches between past and present tense when describing her duties. When writing a resume, you should use present tense for all job duties you are still performing. Finally, proofread to ensure the same capitalization format. Two of this sample's job titles use headline capitalization, so the 'r' in "Local Reporter" should be capitalized to match the rest of the format.
Only use relevant information
Only list information that would be relevant to the job you're applying for. This local reporter resume sample mentions some information in the section for education that isn't relevant to the job she's applying for. For example, she doesn't need to mention she was on the Dean's List. It is an admirable accomplishment, but something better left for an interview question about what she's proud of accomplishing during her educational pursuits. In addition, the applicant mentions the summer program she attended for dramatic writing in 2008, but this type of writing isn't usually relevant for a reporter. Since her education section is otherwise very informative, she can leave this information out. Now that you have some tips in mind, you can begin designing a solid resume that will help you find the job that's right for you. If you need further assistance, use QuintCareer's Resume Builder.

The mother of an 18-year old Tennessee man who was killed following a car accident last year is suing Metro Nashville due to the alleged slow response time of emergency workers. Many people who have lost a loved one due to a motor vehicle accident seek out legal funding from a lawsuit funding provider to help finance the cost of similar litigation.
According to the Tennessean, J.R. Ballentine died due to injuries sustained during the May 2010 accident.
The news source reports that the crash happened in northern Davidson County near the Robertson County line. The first call to emergency crews reportedly was taken at 5:10 p.m.and a firetruck from Goodlettsville arrived at the scene within a minute. However, ambulances from another part of Davidson County reportedly did not arrive until 10 to 15 minutes later.
Throughout the rescue, closer ambulances from nearby Greenbrier in Robertson County and Ridgetop, which sits in both counties, reportedly were never dispatched to the scene.
Ballentine, who reportedly arrived at Vanderbilt University Medical Center just before 6 p.m., died later that evening.
The lawsuit is reportedly seeking unspecified damages and a change in emergency response policy.

The Minimum Transfer Cost Principle for Model-Order Selection
The goal of model-order selection is to select a model variant that generalizes best from training data to unseen test data. In unsupervised learning without any labels, the computation of the generalization error of a solution poses a conceptual problem which the authors address in this paper. They formulate the principle of "Minimum transfer costs" for model-order selection. This principle renders the concept of cross-validation applicable to unsupervised learning problems. As a substitute for labels, they introduce a mapping between objects of the training set to objects of the test set enabling the transfer of training solutions.

Game 1 didn't really show what either team was capable of, since the Refs decided they needed to be the first 2 stars of the game. Yes - the players got 'the message' - hopefully they'll be able to play a real game tonight.
I think the Canucks did a much better job on special teams than originally predicted. Killing the 5 on 3 was important. Personally, I think the Blues are looking for the 'perfect shot' to get it past Luongo and are a little gun shy. Maybe tonight they'll fire more on net (their only goal came off a big rebound).
The Blues will continue plying their weak strategy of spraying snow at Luongo.
The Canucks will continue their strategy of winning.

Could Marijuana Slow Brain Aging?
by Find Medical Marijuana Dispensaries at Nugs.com on 11/14/2012 - 12:42 am
A new study has found that cannabinoids, the group of chemical compounds found in marijuana, are shown to slow the effects of brain aging. The study, conducted by the Institute of Molecular Psychiatry at the University of Bonn in Germany, shows that the use of marijuana, specifically the stimulation of cannabinoid receptors in the human brain, trigger the release of antioxidants. Antioxidants are shown to terminate cells that are damaged, as well as treat conditions such as strokes and neurodegenerative disease; a category which includes Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease.
So what does this mean for the average medicinal marijuana user? Andras Biokei-Gorzo, who led the study, told TIME magazine that manipulating cannabinoid receptors could be "...a promising strategy for slowing down the progression of brain aging and for alleviating the symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders." Of course, there is always the concern of using a psychoactive drug on elderly patients, as well as marijuana's current classification as a controlled substance. But research like this is a big step forward. Freedom of information is crucial, and this study is a good sign that we are headed in that direction. Certainly, it indicates we are past the days where studies like these were frowned upon, or government coerced the end-results to suit their own means. And in the words of Biokei-Gorzo: "I've been trying to find a drug that will reduce brain inflammation and restore cognitive function in rats for over 25 years; cannabinoids are the first and only class of drugs that have ever been effective. I think that the perception about this drug is changing and in the future people will be less fearful." We can only hope.

The King of Limbs Discovers New Skin
- Ed Cardinal TheFish.com Contributing Writer
- 2011 5 Apr
Artist: Radiohead
Album: The King of Limbs
Label: TBD Records
Ever since releasing its gritty Brit-pop/grunge debut Pablo Honey (1993), Radiohead has been in a constant state of creative metamorphosis, shedding one skin as soon as it gets comfortable in order to discover whatever existence could be next.
People loved the darkening, conceptual album-oriented rock of OK Computer (1997) enough to follow the band toward the electronic, ambient, and jazz-influenced sounds heard on Kid A (2000) and Amnesiac (2001). And upon changing so many listeners' tastes, the quintet proceeded to change the music industry by self-releasing the more shapely In Rainbows (2007) as a pay-whatever-you-want digital download.
The envelope is pushed again for this eighth studio project, The King of Limbs, although public reaction to its minimalist, somnambulant vibe is relatively guarded thus far. Clocking in at just 37 minutes and eight tracks, many of them occupied by sampled beats and fragmented lyrics, Radiohead's latest does feel a bit thin upon first listen. But therein lies the challenge fans now likely expect—there's got to be more to this, right?
Indeed, though it's always possible the band is just seeing what it can get away with, it's more likely The King of Limbs is art for art's sake; the soundtrack to a dream that doesn't have to be explained. "Don't blow your mind with why," Thom Yorke sings on the opening "Bloom," where tripped up drums sound like a balloon caught in a ceiling fan, and a constant background whir of blips and chimes makes the whole thing strangely beautiful.
"Morning Mr. Magpie" and "Little by Little" have a more conventional structure—steady rhythms and welcome guitars from an excellent guitar band. The first's characterization and vocal sneer deserve Pink Floyd comparisons while the second has glimmers of past Radiohead glories, particularly "Subterranean Homesick Alien." The electro-instrumental "Feral" gives The King of Limbs a disposable reputation—a song so slight it may have been written and recorded at once. But in a dreamlike state, it works as a fitting preface to the next track, "Lotus Flower," the rubbery first single with a thoughtful pop melody.
"Codex" and "Give Up the Ghost"—both standouts—are sparsely arranged, densely meaningful ballads addressing death with some measure of hope. "Separator" concludes the set on a cryptic upbeat, bringing morning back around as Yorke sings, "It's like I'm falling out of bed from a long and vivid dream."
All told, it's a dream worth having again. Daring music listeners should go out on a limb for The King of Limbs.
