Jarome Iginla is as nice a person you'll meet.
But the Calgary Flames captain sure can be greedy at times.
Asked whether it was more important to go into the playoffs firing on all cylinders or having won the division title, Iginla's choice was both.
"I don't think it's all just about the division, but playing our best would probably lead to winning our division," he said. "I think our game's improved as a team the last 10 days and going in the right direction, which I think is the most important thing.
"But (the division title) is in our hands. We don't have to watch Vancouver. It's two games and we can win the division.
"I think they go hand-in-hand and we want both."
Those two games would be the home-and-home Battle of Alberta series which begins tonight in Edmonton against the Oilers.
The Flames are all too aware what's on the line. Tonight's clash is a biggie, and regardless of what happened in last night's Canucks game, winning in Edmonton will go a long way in relieving the pressure before tomorrow night's regular-season finale at the Saddledome.
Winning the Northwest crown means the No.-3 seed.
"It's a dangerous team," said Flames centre Craig Conroy. "Those are teams out (of the playoffs), playing for pride and want to do well, finish strong. I expect they're going to be at their best, playing relaxed. We have to be the more desperate team."
The Flames are desperate.
But that's just to ice a full roster. Already without a bevy of defencemen -- Robyn Regehr, Cory Sarich, Mark Giordano and Rhett Warrener are all on the shelf -- Calgary practised without Dion Phaneuf yesterday.
Head coach Mike Keenan said Phaneuf's absence was to give him some rest. But the team summoned John Negrin from the minors and sent down forward Warren Peters, so it's a good bet Phaneuf's status is at best questionable.
Or maybe left-winger Rene Bourque is ready to return. Bourque didn't skate yesterday, but Keenan said the 21-goal scorer who has been out the last seven weeks has made big improvements.
"The only way you can look at it is whoever's in the lineup has to be able to play and produce," said defenceman Jordan Leopold.
"We're here to win hockey games, and it's as simple as that. It's a good opportunity for some of us, myself as well. I'm getting more ice time than with the big guys in the lineup and I have to play to my best abilities."
Still, this sets up a crazy scenario. The Flames could face their biggest rivals, with a division title on the line, using as few as 16 skaters.
If that's not enough, it would be with three rookie defencemen -- one who'd be playing just his second NHL game (Negrin) and another his fourth (Matt Pelech).
"The simplest advice to give to them is just relax," Leopold said. "It's easier said than done, but it's best to just play the game. You can't be over-thinking it. You played as a kid and at this level there's Xs and Os and systems, but in the scheme of things, you have to go have fun and just play.
"I'm excited for the challenge. It's a good opportunity for me. When I got traded here, I wasn't playing a lot in Colorado and now we have a shot at the Stanley Cup. It's very exciting."
The Flames aren't coming off a win, but their last game -- a 4-1 loss to Vancouver -- was as strong an outing as we've seen in a long time. They controlled every aspect of that game, but lost simply because Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo was at the peak of his game.
Replicating that performance would go a long way to ensuring a couple of wins against an Edmonton team that's turned to back-up netminder Jeff Drouin-Deslaruiers.
"We didn't get the result we wanted, but we did a lot of good things in that game and want to build on that," centre Olli Jokinen said of the Vancouver game.
"If we get 40-plus shots and play the way we did in Vancouver every single night, we like our chances."
The good news for Calgary is knowing what they need to do before they drop the puck.
With last night's Vancouver game in the books, Calgary will be aware whether a win tonight is to clinch the title or just to hold even with the Canucks in points and ahead with more victories.
Jokinen said his team doesn't need any extra motivation at this point.
"We had a huge game the other night in Vancouver and this game is even bigger. We control our own destiny," he said.

Hague gets DH nod in opener with O's
Hague gets DH nod in opener with O's
Hague, who has played 16 games at first base this season, batted fifth against Baltimore left-hander Wei-Yin Chen on Tuesday.
"We knew we were going to face left-handed pitching coming in tonight," Hurdle said. "The combination of looking to put your best defensive team on the field, a bat that can maybe not fall into the platoon situation for this evening, Matt seemed to jump out to me."
Hague is 4-for-16 against lefties this season compared to 7-for-37 against righties.
General manager Neal Huntington left the door open to the Pirates calling up Jeff Clement -- who is hitting .301 for Triple-A Indianapolis -- to serve as the designated hitter.
Instead, Hurdle chose to keep it in-house, even though his club doesn't have the same advantages most American League teams do.
"More often than not, you get the short end of the stick in the National League when you go to an American League city," Hurdle said. "We're not built for a DH. These American League clubs go out in the winter and they buy DHs, or they grow their own DHs. It's a big bat that usually hits in the middle of the lineup."
During a three-game series in Detroit in mid-May, Hurdle gave Josh Harrison, Neil Walker and Pedro Alvarez one turn each in the designated-hitter role.
"More often than not, in my experiences, it's a bench player in the National League that gets an opportunity to get three or four at-bats or you give a regular a day off of his feet and you hit him," Hurdle said. "It's a little different for us, as well, but that's the way it is. I kind of like the way we're going at it here, whether it's right-handed or left-handed pitching, I think we've got some options to put in that position."

Tiger Woods has revealed that he's not sure if he'll be accompanying Lindsey Vonn to the Sochi Olympics in February.
Then again, it remains to be seen if the skier will even be there herself.
"I think that's just day to day," the golfer said at a press conference at the Northwestern Mutual Challenge at the Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, Calif., on Wednesday, Dec. 4. "We just don't know how her leg is going to be. We'll just take it day to day, race to race."
But things are definitely heading in the right direction.
On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the U.S. Ski Team gave Vonn clearance to partake in Wednesday's first official World Cup training session at Lake Louise, Alberta, and on Thursday, Dec. 5, it was reported by NBC Sports that Vonn has been given the go-ahead to ski competitively on Friday.
The downhill skier had suffered a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in mid-November and pursued "aggressive physical therapy" after sustaining the knee injury.
Vonn said Thursday she is "confident and excited" about Friday's World Cup race.

Glorified past? Mustve missed it.
Mainstream as it gets. This CD is the epitome of gay.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffHalf the songs on this album are ridiculously generic, the other half are experiments which almost all fail. Even the experiments sound fairly generic, apart from maybe one or two tracks. Worst album they've done- normally at least their generic songs sound better.
Album Rating: 3.0Though the album's pretty average, LP always manages to pull out a few sweeet tracks, (Victimised)
Awesome review btw
Album Rating: 2.5I actually listened to this album again after a couple of months. My thoughts on it have been taken down about ten pegs. I initially thought it was ok and listenable but now I realize it was a waste of time to begin with.
Album Rating: 2.5How the hell do people like this more than 1000 suns? After 3 full listens this album has ALREADY grown
off me and is extremely annoying to listen to for 1 minute.
Album Rating: 2.5for my money
hybrid > thousand > minutes > meteora > this
Album Rating: 2.5I actually agree with that (besides meteora which would be third for me). I hate to say it, but Minutes to Midnight is better than this album. Sad
Album Rating: 4.0 | Sound OffA very solid effort.
Album Rating: 3.5FINALLY! After 10 years of wanting a good album from this band, I FINALLY get my wish. Great album.
Digging: Face The King - Once More Is All I Am
Album Rating: 1.5lol
Album Rating: 3.5Linkin Park is my favorite band and I'm happy that they strayed away from the experimental rock in "A Thousand Suns." I wasn't too keen on that. I like that they brought in more rapping and screaming. I like the "What I've Done" similar sounding songs on this album. They did a great job on this album for the most part. The only thing I didn't like on this album were the two "A Thousand Suns" similar sounding songs, "Until It Breaks" and "Skin to Bone." They felt more like experimental rock tracks to me. I just like straight up hard, in your face rock/metal. That's why i wish "Victimized" was a much longer song.
Album Rating: 3.5what the fudge?
Good idea = inventing electricity
Bad idea = inventing gravity
Album Rating: 2.0I guess this album was better than the last...which isnt really saying much. Hybrid Theory was excellent, Meteora was pretty good. Everything after that has pretty much sucked.
listening to these is worse than getting a paper cut across the end of your nob
Album Rating: 2.5I attempt to relisten, liking the album, then "I'll Be Gone" comes on and completely ruins the experience. Way to put an in album killer, Linkin Park.
Album Rating: 3.0literally a filler album.
Album Rating: 2.5 | Sound OffLost in the Echo represents everything bad with this album.
Cool intro, shit chorus that somehow manages to succeed because of the intro. Then shit bridge that just destroys the flow of the song.
The album has moments but never strings enough together to transcend mediocrity.

text: Editors' Review by Download.com staff / February 27, 2009 This basic audio and video converter garners points for its ease of use, but the trial version's limitations may be too strict for some users. DirectConvert supports a number of popular video and audio formats, including MPEG, AVI, WMV, MP3, OGG, AC3, WMA, and WAV codecs. Transforming files is a breeze, since the program walks you through the process in step-by-step mode. When converting video files, you can specify width, height, and frame rate, as well as audio and video compression schemes. If you're working with audio files, you can select the quality, though the demo appears to disable support for the space-saving VBR format. You can also extract audio from video clips or choose to convert only a certain portion of files. That all sounds great, until you find out the trial version limits all audio conversions to 30 seconds and places a watermark on video files. If it weren't for that letdown, we could get more excited about this otherwise capable application. read more + Sponsored Products Category Category Video Software Subcategory Video Converters Publisher's Description From Essien Research & Development: DirectConvert is a media-conversion tool that converts your video files to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 (in standard or in DVD, SVCD, and VCD formats), to AVI format (including DivX), and to the WMV/ASF format (allowing you to use a pre-defined profile or to define your own profile).

Shoot protesters exam question for Eton boys
Eton College asked boys to imagine they were the Prime Minister justifying the shooting dead of 25 protesters by the Army, it emerged last night.
Candidates for the school's most prestigious scholarships were instructed to explain why deploying soldiers who opened fire on demonstrators was a "moral" act. The boys would have been aged 12 at the time.
The task was one of the questions in an exam paper for the college's King's Scholarships two years ago.
Candidates were first asked to read a passage from Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince, in which the 16th century Florentine diplomat discusses why it is better for a ruler to be feared than loved. Boys were then asked to imagine Britain in 2040 when a Middle East crisis has…

The original function of this tiny painting, executed with the refinement of an illumination, is unclear. The jewel-like image shows the figure of the crucified Christ alone, heightening the beholder's empathy and engagement with his suffering. This delicate painting may have been made during the final period of the artist's life, which Simone spent in the papal court at Avignon in France. His sophisticated circle of friends and patrons there, including the poet Petrarch and high-ranking members of the curia, would certainly have responded to its refined elegance.

Afternoon all, it's time for Match Day Live and it's a big one today. It's Liverpool away, a game which is normally one of our hardest games of the season. This season, we go up to Anfield with a genuine belief that we can get one over on our rivals. From an Arsenal point of view, this season hasn't been amazing, but it has been brilliant in flashes – but for Liverpool, their season has been diabolical – they're out of the Carling Cup and the Champions League, they're 7th in the table and have looked very average this season.
If we win today, we'll go onto 31 points with a game in hand on Chelsea and Man United, who are on 34 and 37 respectively after both teams dropped points this weekend.
But it will be harder than we could have hoped, as Gerrard, Aquilani and Torres are all fit and all three are likely to start the game. All three have time on the sidelines, so it would have been much better to have them miss this game too – but it wasn't meant to be. Of course, let's not worry about the opposition… we have Thomas Vermaelen, and I'm sure he'll keep Torres in his pocket all afternoon. Our free scoring centre half spoke ahead of the game:
"But the main reason I like playing for Arsenal is the vision of the boss, the way he wants us to play. I believe we can win trophies playing this way. What is the vision? The vision is basically for a young team who all share the same philosophy to play good football, to grow and eventually win a big trophy. I know there are many critics who say that playing a certain way then good things can't happen. But maybe they should just think for a while and look at how a team like Barcelona has grown and how they play. Look around at their side. They don't have many strong players but they have been winning big trophies."
Talk like that fires me up big time.. come on you Gooners… he is very much right with his assessment, and let's start this season with all that trophy winning melarkey!
Team news sees Diaby and Eduardo back in the squad. With both lacking match fitness and Eduardo looking rusty, I don't think Arsene will put either player straight into the first XI, so I'd expect the following team to line up today:
Sagna – Gallas – Vermaelen – Traore
Denilson – Song
Walcott – Cesc – Nasri
It's a penetrative and pacey side, so that's exciting, but it's not a very tall side, so no crossing!!
Okay, time to watch the second half of the Middlesborough vs Cardiff game and then wait for the real team news…
And time to figure out how Arsene plans to get compensation from Holland for RvP's injury!!
I'll be back shortly for Match Day Live!

FORMER Sunderland striker Louis Saha has penned a short-term outfit with Italian Serie A outfit Lazio.
Sunderland confirmed on transfer deadline day that Saha had formally parted ties with the club, although the final six months of the 34-year-old's contract were effectively terminated a fortnight earlier.
Saha had grown frustrated at his lack of first-team opportunities under Martin O'Neill and it was thought that the ex-Manchester United frontman would wind down his career outside of Europe.
But Lazio have now moved to offer Saha a contract until the end of the season after seeing German forward Miroslav Klose ruled out for two months with a knee injury.
Saha (pictured), who was unveiled to the Italian media last night, said: "I am very happy to be here at this big club.
"I have found a great group and working with them will be a real pleasure for me. I want to give my best. I am here to help the team during this injury and I'm happy to do it.
"This is a great team and a great country.
"I'm still very competitive, it just happens that sometimes things go well, sometimes not.
"But football is a very important part of my life and I am happy to do this job."
Saha penned a one-year contract with Sunderland last summer after his release by Spurs, but failed to start a Premier League game for the Black Cats, although he did make 11 appearances from the bench.
After growing increasingly disenchanted with his role on Wearside, O'Neill agreed to let the Frenchman depart and he had been in talks with South African club Bidvest Wits, while there was also interest from Asia and America's MLS.

After the rig finally sank on Thursday, the oil spill was originally thought to be manageable. But on Saturday officials discovered two leaks, which they estimate are releasing oil at about 1,000 barrels — or 42,000 gallons — daily, escalating the situation into a major environmental problem.
Previously, rough seas had interfered with cleanup efforts on April 24 and most of Sunday, the 25th. The weather cleared Sunday afternoon, however, and aircraft resumed dumping dispersant chemicals to break down the oil. There were 15 vessels headed to the area by the evening in order to resume skimming off the surface oil. By the 25th, some 48,000 gallons of oil-water mix had been gathered, according to the Coast Guard.
But also by Sunday, the growing oil spill was covering about 600 square miles. If it reaches land the impact would be far-reaching, as it would threaten the Gulf coast's fragile ecosystem of coral, shrimp, birds, and fish. Weather patterns indicate that the oil sheen should stay about 30 miles from shore until about mid-week. Gulf States have been alerted, with Louisiana already beginning to erect containment booms as a safety measure to protect its delicate coastal areas.
According to reports, the spill was still about 70 miles from the mainland, but it was only about 30 miles from an important chain of barrier islands known as the Chandeleurs, part of a national wildlife refuge and an important nesting ground for pelicans and other sea birds. By washing out much of the sand, Hurricane Katrina had left the area vulnerable.
At a news conference on Sunday, April 25, Rear Adm. Mary E. Landy, commander of the Eighth Coast Guard District, said that, "Everyone is forward-leaning and preparing for coastal impact."
It was Saturday when the leaks were discovered in the bottom section of the "riser," the 5,000-foot-long pipe that extended from the wellhead — where the oil emits from the ocean floor — to the actual drilling platform. When the platform exploded and sank, the riser came loose and is now undulating from the wellhead to the sea floor. It is the kinks in the riser that appear to have kept an all-out oil gush from happening. The giant plumes of fire that could be seen last week before the platform sank, came from the oil and gas flowing out of the riser.
On Sunday morning, officials began using remote-controlled vehicles — robot submarines — to try to engage the blowout preventer to shut off the oil. The preventer is a 450-ton valve sitting at the wellhead, 5,000 feet below the ocean's surface. It is designed especially for this shut off work — so as to prevent sudden pressure releases. It is suspected that such a pressure release was the cause of the first explosion on the oil rig Tuesday night.
But Doug Suttles, the chief operating officer for exploration and production for London-based BP (which was leasing the Deepwater platform and is responsible for the cleanup under federal law) cautioned that the operation was not easy.
"I should emphasize this is a highly complex operation being performed at 5,000 feet below the surface and it may not be successful," he said.
BP has moved another deepwater rig called the DD3, towards the site of the explosion as a backup. The plan is for this new rig to drill relief wells into the damaged well under the ocean floor itself. This, however, might take several months.
Another plan according to Suttles, is to lower a large dome to the wellhead and capture the oil using pipes and hoses to pump it into a vessel on the surface. This at least would control the flow of oil while more permanent repairs are put in place.
"That system has been deployed in shallower water," he said, "but it has never been deployed at 5,000 feet of water, so we have to be careful."
Besides the robot submarines, BP said the response it activated to manage the spill includes 700 workers, four planes and 32 vessels. Other equipment was also brought in by the Marine Spill Response Corporation, an energy industry cleanup consortium.
Mark Schexnayder, a regional coastal adviser at the Louisiana Sea Grant, commented that the location of the spill is crisscrossed by marine species, including sperm whales, whale sharks, sea turtles, grouper, and porpoises. He added, "We're a month away from opening up the inshore shrimp season — crab season is just getting underway. It could close oyster beds."
The worst spill in U.S. history was the Exxon Valdez in 1989, dumping 11 million gallons of oil into Alaska's Prince William Sound. Officials here believe they are far from exceeding that disaster.

WASHINGTON, July 26 (UPI) -- Democratic leaders are urging Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., to make a deal with the House ethics panel before charges against him are announced this week.
Democrats say they believe the veteran politician is taking his time in hopes of a complete vindication on accusations against him. They express concern that Republicans will use the situation as part of its "culture of corruption" storyline in ads, mailings and talking points leading up to the midterm elections, Politico reported Monday.
After investigating allegations against the 80-year-old Rangel for nearly two years, the House ethics committee concluded he probably violated ethics rules. The panel found in one case that Rangel improperly rented apartments in New York's Harlem district for below market value, possibly violating a ban on House members accepting gifts valued at more than $50.
As a result of the allegations, Rangel stepped down as the House Ways and Means Committee chairman in March.
A senior Democratic aide told Politico House leaders would insist Rangel resolve the accusations before the August recess. The aide said leaders fear the political fallout could be dire if the matter drags on, and are considering going public with their demand if Rangel does not act.
"Democrats don't want to give Republicans an opportunity this summer," the aide said. "Rangel is very well liked, but no one is willing to lose their seat or chairmanship over him."

When you've got it, flaunt it! That's what Keith Urban did while vacationing in the resort town of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, France, on Friday, which also happened to be his 45th birthday! The country crooner donned a teeny-tiny Speedo bathing suit (as many Aussie men often do) while hanging out poolside at his hotel.
Urban was in France with daughters Sunday Rose, 4, and 22-month-old Faith as well as wife Nicole Kidman, who's there shooting her upcoming film "Grace of Monaco," in which she stars as Grace Kelly.
As for how Urban keeps up those six-pack abs and chiseled chest, well, it's part of the job.
"When you are touring, the physical energy it takes to put on shows tends to keep you fit," he told Men's Health. The "American Idol" judge also does cardio three to four days a week, along with light weight training. "Nothing over the top," he said in the interview. "What I need to start doing on top of that is yoga. It's hard, but it's definitely in my future."

Satcher to Graduates: "Dream About the Future of Health Care"
LOS ANGELES - Despite passage earlier this year of U.S. health care reform, David G. Satcher, the former U.S. Surgeon General, urged students graduating from Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science on Saturday to figure out how the American health system can be improved.
Dr. Satcher applauded President Barack Obama for turning universal health care into law, but told the students "this is no time to stop dreaming" about how to elevate health care. He believes the current climate remains the best chance in this century or the last to"make health care better in this country."
"It's up to us to make sure the system is reformed in the right manner," he told an estimated crowd of 1,500 people. Dr. Satcher cited support for creating more primary care doctors, as well as advocating for more preventive care while promoting community health.
Medicare spends the lion's share of its budget on treating chronic diseases, but more effort should be placed on prevention, said Dr. Satcher, 69.
As an example, he said that shortly after graduating from medical school in 1970, he said 10% of the U.S. population was obese. By 2001, he said the number had ballooned to 30%, creating chronic disease such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Moreover, he said that roughly 50 million people in the U.S. remain uninsured, he said, sometimes after being dropped by insurers because the patient's health problems were deemed too costly. "You can change that," he said.
"You can continue to dream about the future of health care in this country, and the way it needs to be and that in dreaming, you will continue to work to make it what it should be."
The speech represented a return to Satcher's roots. He served as interim dean from 1977 to 1979 at what was then known as Charles R. Drew Postgraduate Medical School, created after the Watts Rebellion in 1965 to train minority physicians in a community that demanded better health care.
Dr. Satcher left to chair a department at Morehouse College School of Medicine until the early 1980s and became president of Meharry Medical College in Nashville. He was chosen in 1993 to head up the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Then, he served from 1998 to 2002 as the 16th Surgeon General, the nation's top health officer.
Dr. Satcher acknowledged his deep ties to Charles Drew University by helping to establish an endowed scholarship, in honor of M. Alfred Haynes, the university's president emeritus. The fund has received nearly $100,000 in financial support.
Shaunda K. Grisby, a graduating senior from the College of Medicine was chosen to receive the $5,000 award. Having now completed medical school, she will finish her training at Easton Hospital in Pennsylvania.
Several longstanding Latino leaders at Charles Drew University developed with university leadership a scholarship for Latino students. Named the Edward R. Roybal Scholarship, in honor of the former congressman, the scholarship fund contains $68,000. The first recipient will be chosen next year.
Others recognized for their achievements were:
Dr. Haynes, who also was a pioneer in addressing health disparities, was given the Board of Medal Honor, the university's highest honor; Loretta Jones, director of Healthy African American Families II, a non-profit which strives to improve the health of African Americans, Latinos and other minorities in South Los Angeles, President's Medal for the person who has performed with excellence in their chosen profession.
Geraldine Burton-Branch, an esteemed doctor and advocate, who has served the South Los Angeles community for more than a half-century, was chosen for an honorary degree.
Dr. Eric G. Bing, the university's endowed professor of Global Health and HIV, was chosen for the Outstanding Professor Award, which recognizes excellence in teaching, research, clinical service or community. A faculty member is honored annually for their contributions to students, academic disciplines or the campus community.
Assistant Professor Cynthia Davis received the Outstanding Service Award, which acknowledges dedicated service to the university. A faculty member is chosen every year for their contributions that furthers the institution's mission. Graduating student leaders Rodney Terrell, College of Medicine, and Tania-Maria Barreno, College of Science and Health, also spoke during the ceremony.
"Graduation is always special," said Keith C. Norris, interim president at Charles Drew University. "But this amazing class of graduates and illustrious group of honorees certainly gives great distinction to this year's ceremonies."

Week No. 20 Lucky's Roundup Bar
The great thing about this series is that over the past five months or so, I've been to places I've never been before.
I've tried new restaurants, dared to eat massive burgers and have become much more familiar with local restaurants.
So, when we left the Star Gazette offices Thursday and headed to Hampton, I didn't know what to expect. I had never eaten at Lucky's Roundup Bar.
It was supposed to be an adventure.
Little did I know how true that statement was.
Lucky's is part bar, part meat market, part convenience store, part liquor store and part pool hall. If you're looking for a burger, well, they have one of those, too.
Just don't go looking for a menu. There isn't one. After getting the evil eye for ordering water, I asked our waitress if they had a menu.
"It's on the wall," she told me.
I'm guessing most people who go to Lucky's know that. This being my first time, I didn't. Don't make the same mistake if you go.
The menu reads like this:
Ham 2
Burger 2.75
Polish 1.50
Grilled cheese 1.50
Corn dog 1
McRib 2.50
Chicken 2
So I opted for the burger as did one other staff member. A third got the rib sandwich and the fourth ordered pretzels. Big mistake on the pretzels!
"You go get those yourself," the waitress told our co-worker, Nate Voss. So there Nate went, climbing up on the bar to snag his bag of pretzels.
The burgers were pulled from the refrigerator, popped in the microwave and served up piping hot.
The cheeseburger was just that. A bun. A piece of cheese. A patty.
The best part was the bill. For the two cheeseburgers, the rib sandwich, a bag of chips, the pretzels and two Cokes, the tab came to $12.
It seemed like everyone in the bar knew everyone else. The place was full of regulars. We were definitely the outsiders.
One man seated at the corner of the bar held up his empty beer glass. A bartender cracked open a can of Michelob Golden Light and gave it to the man.
"That's not what I'm drinking," the man told the bartender.
"Drink it anyway," the bartender said with a laugh.
And the man drank the beer.
Look: it was a fun trip. Lucky's is, no doubt, a watering hole. If you get the munchies, they'll take care of you. But don't travel out of your way for a burger.
Instead, you can travel out of your way for a cheap drink, a good price on 15 pounds of bacon or a good deal on sirloin steaks.
About Lucky's
Lucky's got its name from its former owner, Lucky Woldengen.
Lucky passed away July 4, and the establishment is still operated by family.
What Christina says
Regina Medical Center dietician Christina Gapp looked over Lucky's menu and had this to say about healthful options there:
"Lucky's is the lucky one this week. When speaking with the owner, I found out why he even serves food. Hampton may be small, but people do come for food and time to get together, which is sometimes a lost pasttime considering our busy schedules.
One thing we don't want to worry about when we eat out is food safety.
At Lucky's Roundup Bar, food is pre-packaged. All foods, primarily sandwiches, are labeled and dated. Nutrition facts are at your fingertips. Food is kept in controlled refrigeration, heated in the microwave or in a pizza oven, and served with packaged chips or pop.
If calories are your concern, choose water or diet pop. Omit the chips.
You are probably wondering why this sounds appealing at all, but if you have allergies, you can see the label and read ingredient lists. If you are wondering about freshness, food safety regulations are Lucky's friend.
Food manufacturers and retailers typically use three types of dates:"Sell by" or pull date: The last day a food should be sold to remain fresh for home storage. Pack date: When the food was manufactured, processed or packaged. "Best if used by" date: For best quality, use food by this date. For example, the label may say, "Best if used by 12-10-08." Depending on the food and if it has been stored properly, it will likely be safe beyond this date.
As always, if you have ideas, comments or suggestions about this piece, please let me know. My phone number is 651-437-6153 and my e-mail address is crichardson@ hastingsstargazette.com.

Hi there,
Ive successfully created font changes by using a p.tag but im struggling to make a class work within the page builder shortcode like the colour section.
I want to create a dedicated 50px height header for all my pages (not home) with a blue background, 20px padding at the top and to have my font size to be 3.5em. The font is Bebas Neue which ive already installed and had working.
Ive tried all sorts to get this working but it just gets ignored and nothing happens. Any example to show me how i should be setting up a class for your shortcodes in the builder would be helpful
AndySeptember 9, 2013 at 3:44 pm #140320
Hi Andy,
You could try using the 'special heading' shortcode and style it the way you want with CSS:
background: blue;
font-size: 3.5em;
color: white;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 0;
.av-special-heading-h3 h3{
font-size: inherit !important;
color: inherit !important;
.av-special-heading-h3 .special-heading-border{
display: none;
I tested locally and achieved something like this:
JosueSeptember 10, 2013 at 5:46 am #140321
Hi there,
thanks for this although is it not possible for me to style any section the way I want using the new class attributes? In other questions there has been reference to generating a unique class name (say in the color section) then in CSS I could attribute standard styles like font, color, padding etc. which im assuming I could apply anywhere providing I had put the Class ID in the special section class ID field.
This seemed simpler and more obvious than me trying to work out the specific unique elements for all the key components throughout the site…. eg. Special Header.
Also…. if I create a unique ID name like 'special-header' why do I need a unique one font h3 and special border? Cant they be encompassed within the overall special-header? What am I missing here?
AndySeptember 11, 2013 at 4:11 pm #140322
Hi Andy,
If you have the custom class field turned on for your elements then you can do the same as Josue showed above but targeted at your custom class name. Eg:
#top .my-custom-blue-header .av-special-heading-h3{
background: blue;
font-size: 3.5em;
color: white;
padding-top: 20px;
padding-bottom: 0;
#top .my-custom-blue-header .av-special-heading-h3 h3{
font-size: inherit !important;
color: inherit !important;
#top .my-custom-blue-header .av-special-heading-h3 .special-heading-border{
display: none;
and if you find a specific declaration (property+value) isn't taking effect then you can use !important to force it since it will only ever effect your specific class name.
The topic 'Class creation within a page builder element' is closed to new replies.

Trails are hard!
Since the kids are in swimming, we've been spending a lot of time at the pool. This has been true for a few years for my wife, but I've been training to be a USASwimming official, and this year they asked me to help coach once a week, so I get to spend Thursday afternoon teaching better swimmers than I how to swim better...it's working, but it does sound odd, doesn't it.

Well, there are a surpising number of major league hitting coaches who batted .250
Need a fast half for late fall. Then I need to actually train for it.
maybe erika can humor you better than we can.
Ha! Good luck on that one, Troy. When I was in high school I had some friends who loved to go winter camping. They thought -20 to -40 to be some of the best conditions because the campfire felt so good and the stars were so bright. Hmph, have fun, count me out.
Another day of cold and ice fog, but we should get a little break next week. Sure would be nice to get outside for a run, but with the cold, dark and air quality issues, I'm not gonna try anything heroic. Our paper has a video clip of driving in Fairbanks at -40° in the ice fog. This is taken on a road that I run next to in nicer conditions, a bike path off to the right. Needless to say, I haven't been on it in awhile.

Erika - brrr, that video makes me feel cold just looking at it....
OrangeMat - very cool taking swim lessons! I really want to do that at some point, but it will probably wait a few years until DD is older.
Got off work early and took DD to the mall for the annual Santa photo. We have taken the kids every year since birth (DS stopped after age 10), and we have a table set up with the photos from every year, all in festive holiday frames. DD is 10 now, so this may be the last one....
Off to visit my nephew and his children - 4 adorable boys between 1 and 6 years old.
Life is a headlong rush into the unknown. We can hunker down and hope nothing hits us or we can stand tall, lean into the wind and say, "Bring it on, darlin', and don't be stingy with the jalapenos."
Frost and ice on the roads this morning, so I opted to sleep more. I need some motivation to get on the TM, haven't touched it yet this winter. Thanks for the battery replacement tip Maine. I am going to give DH my old Garmin and would like it to have more than 2 or 3 hours of battery life.
"During a marathon, I run about two-thirds of the time. That's plenty." - Margaret Davis, 85 Ed Whitlock regarding his 2:54:48 marathon at age 73, "That was a good day. It was never a struggle."
Does anybody know if the battery on a Garmin 110 is the same as the 305?
I have a 110. I'm not having problems with it yet,but would like to keep this info on hand in case it dies in the future. Great info!
Since the world has not ended,looks like I'll get out and run today. It's 3 PM,and I'm up and around. I didn't have to drive the kids to school today,so I went to bed right after work this morning,now I'm up early. Roads have been cleared of snow,the sun is out-I'm running.
Baboon-With all the food and snacks we have had laying around at work,I'm sure I've gained a few pounds the last few weeks. Every day I bring healthy food with me to work,but it's hard to walk by the cookies and pies and not grab some. On top of this the fact that I've been so busy the last few weeks so my milage is down..............extra weight.
Sorry I haven't been around much. 10 for me today as I won't have a chance for a longer run tomorrow, maybe not at all. Broke 100 miles for the month and getting very close to my goal for this year of 1,500. Felt great out there!
"This is my approach as both athlete and coach: (quoting Steve Magness) Even if the training is perfect, if you don't buy into it, you will not run fast. Chase Consistency, Not Perfection." Neely Spence Gracey
Ended up doing 6.6 easy miles.
It was nice to run with the sun out for once!
Howdy folks. Took another day off from running and my shin is most happy about that. Will return to the roads tomorrow. In the meantime, I returned to the pool today, to try a half hour of lap swimming on my own. I probably won't hear from the aquatics director about what class I'll be in until after the holidays. And so I did pretty decent on my own, believe it or not! Don't remember how many times I went back and forth, but most times I stayed calm enough and focus on my technique to make it all the way across. Heh, there's nothing better than doing something that scares you, and ending up feeling like it didn't suck as much as you thought it would.
who says life doesn't have a soundtrack?

The poor folks that wanted to go camping decided they weren't sure they wanted to go for -20F camping after all. Since the camping trip was their idea, I sure wasn't going to try to talk them out of it or into it...so we went for a walk and explored the lake we were going to camp on. A lovely day was had by all.
And we all stayed warm or mostly so. Here is the motley crew as we arrived at the lake after a not-very-far hike in on an ATV trail.
I took a lot of photos of the snow texture on the lake where the wind had sculpted various patterns and shapes.
The others ran off across the lake, so they tested the ice for me. I don't think a mack truck dropped from 500 feet could go through...
We had a brief warmup a little while back, and it rained on snow, so the bumpy ice areas show up as the result of that event.
DS was looking for ptarmigan or grouse...or foxes or porcupines...or whatever else was legally harvestable...but we never did see anything.
DS appeared to be plenty warm...
The final walk out was back up the ATV trail we came in down.
So there we were. Stay warm out there.

Rhoon,great pics. I get a kick out of your posts and thinking about what it must be like running in conditions like you have up there.
Looks like your son may have had too much egg nog in that first picture?
I can also relate to what you said in your 1st post about the kids activities taking up all of your running time. I'm in the same boat. I still have 5 kids living here at home right now. Luckily 1 drives,which helps,but it does still get crazy around here when you have active kids. I'd be able to run about twice as many miles this time of year if I wasn't running the kids around,but life would be a lot more boring.
Thanks Drake. I have been realizing that if I play it right, I still get a lot of exercise, but it may not all be running. Since running is my favorite, that seemed like a shortcoming, but I'm getting pretty fond of my walk/swim/run mix at the moment. But as for the basketball last night...wow am I sore now, and still getting sorer. Since I'm not camping tonight as planned, I could play basketball tomorrow. That might be really foolish. So I probably will.

Suggestion where to run a wire for amp through firewall? '00 outback
Posted 13 April 2006 - 12:29 PM
Thanks much in advance.
Posted 13 April 2006 - 12:37 PM
I'm about to put a car computer into my 2000 outback and after a quick look last night, i can't see any places i can run a ~8-10 gauge wire through the firewall. I would really like to avoid drilling a hole, as this is something i've never done. Anyone have any experience in this and can give me some sort idea of somewhere i can squeeze it through?
Thanks much in advance.
Just run it through any gromit that goes through the firewall. They may look sealed, but they arent. look at the accelerator cable gromit especially, thats where i ran my alwarm wires.
Posted 13 April 2006 - 01:09 PM
If so, run it through the hole where the clutch cable would go. Get down under the dash with a flashlight and look above and to the left of the brake pedal, you should see a rubber grommet plugging a hole.

I stick an awl thru in the opposite direction, then use the wire to push the awl back out, result - a completely sealed hole.
Posted 14 April 2006 - 09:47 AM
Posted 14 April 2006 - 10:25 AM
Posted 14 April 2006 - 11:18 AM
to keep it semi sealed, i cut a slit in one of the rubber things, ran the wires, and then just threw some silicon in the hole to close the gap...
+1.. that's how I ran my wires for magic switch and light switches

Maj- Gen. Mohammed Abubakar, Commandant, Infantry Corps, Armed Forces Command and Staff College of the Nigerian Army, Jaji, on Friday announced that the Nigerian Army has started a nationwide special training programme on combating insurgency for its officers and men.
*Nigerian Army Officers In Training
Speaking to newsmen in Kaduna at the inauguration of 1 Division Nigerian Army Headquarters Training School, the commandant said the training would improve the basic knowledge and skills of soldiers to enable them effectively curb insurgency.
He asserted that though the training schools have been in existence since the `70s, it became imperative to reopen them to enable the army train the multitude of its soldiers.
"We have introduced different aspects of training as the existing schools cannot cope with the increasing number of soldiers we are recruiting" Abubakar said. "So we deem it necessary to re-establish these schools at each division to help us give basic training for soldiers instead of waiting until they get to training schools in Jaji, Bauchi, Kachia".
Responding also, Maj. – Gen. Kenneth Osuji, the General Officer Commanding (GOC), 1 Division, remarked that the schools would expand areas of training of soldiers and officers in each division.
"The establishment of these schools is going to provide the platform for more officers and soldiers to be trained" Osuji said. "We have training schools, but we want as much soldiers to be trained because if we rely on the schools, it will take a longer time for the large number of soldiers and officers to be trained. We have to get the basic training on some specialised skills".
Boko Haram sect members have launched several offensive attacks in recent times, especially in the northeastern part of the country, leaving scores of people dead with properties worth billions of naira destroyed in their quest to establish a muslim nation.

You can't get past it without that information and you should let him know that. Sadly, you cannot force him to tell you, but you can tell him what you will and will not accept from him--are you willing to stay married if he "can't remember" these things? It's unfair and crazy making and cruel of him to do that to you. I know how hard it is to be firm when you feel like you are pushing them into the arms of OW, but you'll probably have the most success if you tell him what you need and the consequences of not admitting and then follow up.
Finally we sat down and made a time- line. I also dug swap, searching the house, bank records, phone records, and ask a million questions. He's still not 100% on the dates.

"I don't know/remember" is usually equal to, "I remember, but if I tell you, it might get worse for me, so Im keeping it to myself(and OW/OM)."
So..what do you do? You pull out old calendars, journals, old credit card bills, appointment books, pics, etc. Anything that will help them "remember" what they were doing during that time.
And if that still doesn't work? Then you tell them to give your question some serious thought..to think about it for a few days, then set a date to return to that question.
If he still doesn't remember? Well..again..it depends on what you want to know. If you absolutely NEED that answer...then tell him that. If he does absolutely nothing to help find that answer...then IMO..that tells you how dedicated they are to healing the damage they have caused. A remorseful WS who wants to R will do everything they can to help you heal..and that includes helping find the answers to the questions you have.
..that feeling you get in your stomach, when you heart's broken. It's like all the butterflies just died.
It does depend on what things he cannot remember. The date with actual sex, that actually might not be easy to remember the exact date unless there is something else associated with it.
Like was it St patricks day and they drank green beer, or the day of the huge storm or the day you won the lottery.
Have him write out a complete timeline. Writing helps the memory.
And then there is the threat of a polygraph, sometimes that helps jog the memory.
If there are a few, and they are things you might not remember either, you can get over them.
But if most answers are I dont know and I dont remember, those will always remain unanswered questions, and they are very hard to get over.
It said you forget things for two reasons.
1-Because it was a long time ago. A long time ago is relative and differs for each person. They pointed out if the person can remember details from the time you are asking about but just not the details you want, odds are they are lying. But you also have to consider the second reason.
2-Because the information wasn't important to you. Again, this is relative so not something you can definitively pin down. If you ask me what color was the car opposite me at the light when I stopped to get milk this am, I wouldn't remember because it didn't matter to me. The comment above that someone made about knowing the date they made the biggest decision of their marriage doesn't work because of this second reason. Cheaters aren't honest with themselves about what they are really doing. It almost certain he didn't feel like he was making the biggest decision of his marriage that day so that reason for remembering won't work. What he might remember is their first time together. Just reframing the question sometimes works.
You have to take both reasons and carefully mix them with your gut feelings. Sometimes it's obvious, like this time with my wh.
I asked about what he did at a strip club. He claimed he was too drunk and it was too long ago (approx 12years) to remember. I asked for every detail he could recall.
He started spouting off with very detailed info regarding what the bus driver did in the club. I'll just say it was detailed info. Anyway, he was proud of himself and said in a snarky manner that I wanted Allthe details. At first I was ticked off because who cares about the bus driver but then I realized he gave himself away. It wasn't too long ago and he wasn't too drunk to remember very detailed information. So I called him on it and after several more arguments, after he realized I wasn't going to drop it, he told me what he had done at the strip club.
It's possible he didn't tell me everything or he made some things up. But he knew I knew he was lying when he said he couldn't remember at all. He had to provide some details.
Sometimes clinging to the lie is more important than hiding the details.
So consider those two things when you get the I don't remember answer. Keep in mind they have to be important for the cheater to note, and not what's important to you. Find a way to ask the question from all different angles. If pieces don't fit in from other versions, then push for more clarification.
Ask leading questions. Let them do the talking. Make note, of everything they say. It's ok to come back after a discussion and say, hey this doesn't make sense to me, please clarify it again.
OW - multiple, just found out about ALL of them, Husband coming out of years of fog due to multiple childhood and military events.
Hopeful but cautious
Using this approach has opened up some deep discussions. After 26 years together, my H has divulged much about himself that he had been hiding.
All the best to you.

Replace Mk/bsd.kde4.mk by Mk/Uses/kde.mk in preparation for KDE Frameworks and

At the moment KDE ports use bsd.kde4.mk to handle their dependencies. When

reasonable to create a new kde.mk instead of adding an bsd.kde5.mk.
The kde.mk in this review is a stripped down version of the one we are using in

Los Angeles, Oct 5 (IANS) Actor Nicolas Cage, who is usually choosy about his roles, has admitted that he turned down a role in Peter Jackson's iconic "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
The "Left Behind" actor revealed that he was offered the role of Aragorn in the trilogy, but he ended up turning it down, reports aceshowbiz.com.
"There were different things going on in my life at the time that precluded me from being able to travel and be away from home for three years," Cage was quoted as saying by newsweek.com.
He didn't mention specifically what those "different things" were, but it seemed like the veteran actor didn't want to leave his family so long to shoot the movies back-to-back for three years in New Zealand.
He was very grateful that he could enjoy the movies without being distracted by himself.
"But the thing is about those movies, I can watch them. I can enjoy them as an audience member. I don't really watch my own movies. And so I genuinely do have the joy of watching these – especially with 'Lord of the Rings'," he said.
Cage didn't even regret passing on the role although it might have been one of the biggest roles of his career.
"I don't really have any regrets. I think regret is a waste of time. I try to always move forward as opposed to dwelling on the past or the movies that might have happened," he said.

The packaging isn't the best because it's sort of big and heavy for a lip balm BUT it nevertheless is a great product for the price. The balm itself gives lips a slight tingle and helps with dryness. The balm is very pigmented so it could be worn alone or over a similar lip color to give it some sheen. Mellow Melon is a coral color and very pretty for Spring/Summer.

Nice color, it was very creamy. But after a few minutes my lips started burning. I have never had a problem with lip balms, lipsticks, or lip glosses. So I don't know what they have in the balm that I would have that reaction. I am bummed because the color was nice, not too bright. The packaging is a little bulky but I would have dealt with if if I didn't have to wipe it off my lips frantacally after a few minutes.

I'm in the middle about this balm. I love that it gives a nice color and that it has SPF. I also love how it makes my lips look, but it gives me the weirdest burn on my lips.It can also be a little sticky, which I don't like a whole lot. As I said the color is beautiful!
the packaging is cool, but a little bulky. It makes it looks like it has much more than it does, which by the way is 7.5 grams. It sells for $3 on their website.
RECOMMEND: For people without sensitive lips who want a lip balm with a more opaque color than most.

I was so excited to receive this products After I bought it on the website. I had read many good reviews on it. I tried it out and the color looked so good! It was a little light but pretty pigmented. My lips had not been exfoliated so you could see where the color would stick on the dead skin. It applied evenly despite my lips being like that. A while later I noticed I got bumps on my lips and they became really chapped. I was hoping it wasn't this product so I waited until my lips were nourished again and tried the product again. It once again made my lips really chapped and gross looking. I might have had an allergic reaction to it. I would have loved this product if it wasn't for that.

ELF is my new HG brand for many makeup products. Just got this balm in Mellow Melon and i LOVE IT. the balm is super moisturizing, not sticky like some glosses, this is definitely more thick than a regular lip balm though. The color looks lovely on my lips, but doesn't seem peachy, just more like a pinkish tint to my tanned lips. It's a steal at $3, less than most other lip balms, still a little bit more than elf prices. Some ppl are talking about smell/taste/burn, I didn't smell or taste or feel anything at all. Many ppl are complaining about the acryilc jar, it is a little bulky but nothing that will stop me from repurchasing this product.

I really like the color of this, the smell/taste, and the conditioning properties of it! This is a gorgeous coral shade that suits my neutral to warm toned, light/medium NC25 complexion very well. It's a teeny bit sticky, but I don't mind that because I think that makes it stay on better. Like others have said, the bulky packaging doesn't make sense and u have to use a lip brush to apply it because when u use your clean finger, it makes it sticky and colored! I would repurchase tho, because I do love the color. Better non bulky packaging that u don't have to stick ur finger in and this would be a 5.

This product has a thick, a bit greasy consistency but I like it. There's no glitter in it. It smells divine, like vanilla I think (I'm not good at recognizing scents). It also has a sweet taste but it doesn't bother me.
It is quite pigmented (a coral pink color) so if you don't want it to color your lips you should pick the balm in ''Nice and natural'' instead.
I love the fact it has SPF of 15.
The packaging is quite bulky but I don't mind it. I'm just a bit annoyed that the balm gets under my fingernail every time I try to apply it with my fingers so I sometimes use a a lip brush.
I think it's quite moisturizing but I don't like the feeling when I first apply it, it burns slightly..don't know why.
Edit: I have to take a lippie off for the burning sensation it leaves on my lips right after I apply it. It seems like the edges of my lips are tingling but not in a nice way (like the plumping products usually do it). I don't know what's wrong with my lips since other people don't seem to be having this problem but I do find it almost unbearable.

I really love the product.The color is beautiful and the moisturizing is great. Before when my lips were dry or chapped I would put on lypsyl lip repair and it helped but it smell and the consistency made it hard to use during the day .I find that this works almost as well as that but without the about the problems. This doesn't slip and slide nor is it thick and goopy, there is a nice balance between the two.I regret now only ordering the one.
The ONLY PROBLEM with this
The packaging SUCKS!Because of the container strange shape(square) it is not that easy to get your hands around and open. It's a twist top that is almost impossible to close even if you were staring right at the two parts and it doesn't get easier with practice.

AISB miscellaneous Bulletin Item
CFP: IJCV Special Issue on Evaluation of Articulated Human Motion and Pose
CALL FOR PAPERS International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) Special Issue On: Evaluation of Articulated Human Motion and Pose Estimation Guest Editors: -------------- Michael J. Black Brown University (firstname.lastname@example.com) Leonid Sigal Brown University (firstname.lastname@example.com) Aim and Scope: -------------- There has been a large body of work developed in the last 10 years on the human pose estimation and tracking from video. Progress however has been limited by the lack of common datasets and error metrics for quantitative comparison. The goal of this special issue is to quantitatively establish the current state of the art in the human pose estimation and tracking from single and multiple camera views, using a common benchmark (HumanEva) database and error metrics. The HumanEva datasets (http://vision.cs.brown.edu/humaneva/) contain multiple calibrated video sequences (grayscale and color) that are synchronized with 3D body poses obtained from a motion capture system. The database contains multiple subjects performing a variety of common actions (e.g. walking, jogging, gesturing, etc.). Error metrics for computing error in 2D and 3D pose are also provided to allow comparison of different methods on equal footing. The dataset contains training, validation and testing (with withheld ground truth) sets. The performance on testing sequences can be evaluated using on-line evaluation service. For detailed description of the procedure that should be followed for testing and evaluation of results please see http://www.cs.brown.edu/people/ls/ehum2/submit.html. This is an open call-for-papers. While submissions from the NIPS EHuM and IEEE CVPR EHuM2 workshops were invited to submit extended versions of their contributions, this does not guarantee acceptance to the special issue. Submissions from outside the two workshops are also strongly encouraged and will be considered on equal grounds. All manuscripts will be reviewed according to rigorous external IJCV reviewing policy to assure quality of the contributions. The list of possible topics of interest to the special issue includes (but is not limited to) the following: -- Tracking and pose estimation (in 2D and 3D); -- Articulated body models; -- Priors for human motion and dynamics; -- Appearance models; -- Discriminative and generative approaches for articulated pose recovery; -- Quantitative metrics for evaluation of pose estimation and tracking. Submission Procedure: --------------------- Manuscripts of full journal length with detailed experimental results using (but not limited to) HumanEva datasets are solicited for submission. Due to the retrospective and prospective nature of the special issue, we will encourage submissions of both original unpublished works as well as surveys where prior approaches are evaluated using the data and the metrics provided. The latter are expected to contain extensive experimental and discussion sections that go sufficiently beyond experiments presented in the original publication. Submissions should follow the guidelines set out by IJCV and will be reviewed accordingly. Authors should submit manuscripts via IJCV website, http://visi.edmgr.com, by choosing ``Special Issue - EHuM'' as the Article Type. Submission Deadline: January 11, 2008

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti have revealed details about their forthcoming new album, Mature Themes.
Speaking about the follow-up to 2010's brilliant Before Today, Ariel Pink told SPIN:
"Sonically, it's comparable. There are definitely not any links to my lo-fi origins. It's so diverse but so different from anything I've done before. In a sense, it's really the record I wanted to make back when I made Before Today, but couldn't due to pressures and different factors. We had time to let our hair down and try new things."
You can listen to some new material, a cover of Donnie and Joe Emerson's 'Baby', at the bottom of the page.
Mature Themes will be released by 4AD on 20 August.

OTTAWA – With the referendum vote in Crimea showing overwhelming support for joining the Russian Federation, Prime Minister Stephen Harper said the outcome reflects "nothing more than Russian military control."
Reports have between 93% and 95% of votes in favour of Crimea breaking ties with Ukraine in support of rejoining the Russian Federation.
The referendum was called weeks earlier and widely deemed illegal and illegitimate by world leaders, Harper among them. Since the referendum was called, Russian troops have moved into areas surrounding Crimea and have been increasingly hostile toward their Ukrainian counterparts.
Harper has said repeatedly he will not recognize the results of Sunday's vote and "any solution to this crisis must respect the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine as well as the constitution of Ukraine."

RAQQA, Syria, May 2 (UPI) -- Photographs of two crucified men in Syria were released by Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The very graphic images show two men who are blindfolded and tied to makeshift crosses erected in a traffic circle in Raqqa. It is unclear whether they were killed before they were crucified or if they died on the crosses.
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has admitted to executing seven people and crucifying two of them in retribution for a grenade attack that killed a child and injured a man. The banner under one of the men reads, "This man fought against Muslims and threw a grenade in this place."
The images were taken by Abu Ibrahim Alrquaoui, the founder of a group called Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently. He said the men were rebels who had fought against Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
"It's very dangerous. They threaten us directly and want to kill us," Alrquaoui said of the group.
ISIS if the same group to which Al-Qaida disavowed any connection in a statement this past February.
"ISIS is not a branch of the Qaidat al-Jihad [Al-Qaida's official name] group, we have no organizational relationship with it, and the group is not responsible for its actions."

Hey guys,
love the theme so far and I'm really impressed by the support you are offering to your customers :)
I have a question regarding the contact forms in the theme. I want people to be able to contact one of our offices directly, by selecting it out of a list of offices in the dropdown menu I create in the contact form. Is there any way to do this, currently?
You can see my test version running here, with an example of the form here: http://mep.raffeltest.nl/contact/
I would really love to not have to use a (free) contact form plugin as those are all horribly not-responsive and I love the way your contact form looks!
Hi dekkert,
No not at the moment but I'll add the idea to the feature request topic.
Alright, too bad. I'd love to see that in an update sometime :) Guess I'll go fiddle around with a plugin then!

David Tseng They are the thin layer of cells that line the entire circulatory system... From your heart... ...down to the smallest capillary ...which is why keeping these ET cells in good health is very important Creates new blood vessels
(Angiogenesis) x 1000000 Moderates blood flow What do they do? Serves as a semi-permeable membrane
between outer tissue and blood vessel Prevents coagulation cascade
from starting (blood clotting) So... Controls blood pressure
(Vasoconstriction/vasodilation) (Blood Vessel) White blood cells Gases N O Releases NO Endothelial cells use NO to tell smooth muscles to relax Atherosclerosis most prevalent vascular disease NO transmits messages between nerve cells TIME FOR SOME JUICE! NO causes penile erections by blood vessel dilation How to prevent atherosclerosis Exercise! Don't Smoke! Smoking damages the artery walls, making it easier for plaque to build up It can:
reduce the amount of fat in the blood
lower cholesterol and blood pressure
control your weight Avoid Saturated Fats NO promotes vascular reparative mechanisms high intake of saturated fats allows more plaque to form around the artery walls and narrow the arteries It seems to be associated with the process of learning, memory, sleeping, feeling pain, and maybe even depression. NO helps the immune system fight viral, bacterial and parasitic infections as well as tumors. Notice how we said "saturated" fats Not ALL fats are bad for you Because of the linear structure, saturated fats can easily and closely stack on top of each other, causing a build up of plaque in your blood stream And if you don't protect your endothelial cells.... However, saturated fats have "kinks" in their structure due to the double bond in the molecule. This makes it much more difficult for the molecules to stack on top of each other, which instead flows easily through your arteries This happens: Less nitric oxide is produced... I'm sad Blood Vessel High blood pressure Less dilation of blood vessels
(Vasoconstriction) Rapid response (initial) Levels of NO, prostaglandins, von Willebrand factors, tissue plasminogen activators, etc..... decrease when fat, cholesterol, and other substances build up in the walls of arteries and form hard structures called plaque Slow response (physical changes) Basement membrane in blood vessels & smooth muscle cells adjacent to endothelium alter Vessel structure alters Inflammation A.

Kiss and Mí¶tley Crüe Australian tour 2013
Pyrotechnics enthusiasts and tailors of leather pants rejoice! Kiss and Motley Crue will be touring Australia early next year.
Way back in January, Kiss manager Doc McGhee revealed that that the glam-rock giants were planning a return to Australia in 2013 and that news has now been confirmed via a Facebook post by Crüe drummer Tommy Lee. The star of your favourite rocker-compleates-collage-degree reality show Tommy Lee Goes to College has told his fans that he has completed touring for the year and will be taking "a little break til Jan 2013 then off to Australia with Kiss n Motley".
Since July this year the glam icons have toured together playing over 40 dates across the US, Canada and Mexico on a tour they humbly dubbed The Tour. With both bands playing 90 minute sets, Gene Simmons promises that the shows will make "you will scream your head off until it's no longer on your shoulder and then you'll feel great. You'll be drenched, exhausted, and completely satisfied without ever having anyone touch your schmekel."
Despite having finally reached the big 6-0, Simmons and co show no sign of slowing down (or shying away from spandex) in their golden years. In fact, when FL faced off with Simmons back in 2008 he made it clear that he would be strapping on his platforms for as long as he is walking this earth: "There's no high like a KISS high. You get up on stage and you get to wear more make up and higher heels than any woman ever has. Come on. And I wear a codpiece big enough to house every farm animal in Brisbane, so there's a lot of fun and games there. And of course the other fun is doing the encores back in the hotel. It doesn't suck. It's a lot of fun."
While no dates have been confirmed, the last time KISS were on our shores they played a huge run of arena sized shows, which left our reviewer admitting: "You would have to be so far beyond cynical to look around the arena and see all the people up on their friend's shoulders, all the little kids going ape-shit and all the hardcore dudes with their arms around each other, singing along drunkenly out of tune, and think that this was anything other than the pinnacle of "who gives a shit" party anthems to be rocked along to with utter abandon.
