Top 10 Most Stupidly Hated BandsSome people hate bands who are actually good because it's the cool thing to do. These are the bands who have been subjected to that and shouldn't have been.
The Top Ten
I'm in the minority that hate Justin bieber, I testify against psy, and I hate most of the female artist of today, but why is this one of the bands that people hate the most? First of all it's not fair, there just a band that love to play and that's what musics all about, second everybody says they suck, to the point were we say all right already take your opinions somewhere else. Third they at least try harder compared to the other so called hit musicians, and they least have some great songs including rockstar, and burn it to the ground. And worst they don't just attack the band, but also anyone who gives them a fair chance that is inexcusable. In short nickel back is a good band that need more appreciation. If I were to compare them to an animated film it will be cars 2, because people put themselves on there high horse and don't give them a fair chance. So. End by saying give nickelback a chance
People just hate to be cool and fit in with the crowd. They act like Nickelback is the musical anti-christ. Nickelback is an awesome band with great songs. Chad knows how to write great hit songs that people remember. People also say that all their songs sound the same. Untrue! Compare Burn It To The Ground to Lullaby. Different tempo. Different song structure. Different instrumentation. Different lyrical topic, obviously. IT IS CLEARLY A DIFFERENT SONG! You must be deaf or just plain stupid to think all their songs sound the same.
I personally don't hate Nickelback, and I definitely don't hate on them to be cool. They just don't appeal to me, and that's the main reason why it has been heavily hated on. I don't see it as a trend to be cool to despise them. They just don't appeal to the majority. I will say that I can see why they're easy to dislike. I personally think that Chad's vocals are a bit rough and sharp that it makes most of their work unbearable to listen to. His singing could work for some people, but it doesn't work for the rest of us. I will say they do deserve to be here because of how much they are hated, but I won't say they are the worst band ever.
Eh, some of their hate is undeserved, but some of it is. - DCfnafV 16 Comments
I see too many people saying "Metallica is garbage" or similar nonsense. While I personally don't like their most recent albums (except Death Magnetic, that one is pretty good, ) their first four albums were excellent. I figure most people who dislike Metallica probably haven't spent much time listening to their older music.
Hi guys, I'm glad too see you all hear stand at Metallica side! They just did not deserved to be so hated, they have few bad albums but hey guys remember good old albums they are working hard to do what the do today to be one of the greatest Metal bands, I meet some people how said thinks like Metallica is not true trash. I think Metallica is true Trash metal band so this is all of me, have a nice days and stay rock.
I do believe Metallica can be really overrated in some circumstances (IE Master of Puppets being voted best on almost every top ten to many top tens, people tlking about Enter Sandman like it's better than anything, people claiming Fade to Black is the most emotional song ever written. ) But at the same time that doesn't make the band bad. And albums such Load and Lulu aren't really signs of weakness in my opinion but rather the band falling into genres people don't like. And at least Metallica shows true expression and emotion in there music unlike some bands.
Definitely not worthy of the hate they get. Their first four albums still stand as some of the best Metal albums of all time, their last two albums themselves are pretty good by today's standards and for Metal Elitists to call 'poser' on anyone who likes them is silly.V 12 Comments
I'm sorry but the lets rag on Fred Durst because he's white and accidentally started a riot bandwagon is one ridden by people who've never even heard a limp bizkit song. Limp Bizkit has that juvenile delinquent vibe and heavy rifts that makes me go insane every time I hear them. Limp Bizkit might not be as good as Led Zeppelin but they're pretty awesome.
Best song: BREAK STUFF
Thank you. Limp bizkit might not have the talent of bands like led zeppelin. But they tap into my adolecence angst better than any other band period
Except for fred durst, this band is very awesome.
I can get why people hate them, but a huge chunk of their hate is because of Fred Durst.
please find better reasons to hate limp bizkit ok - wrests
Anybody who hates AC/DC should be drug out to the street and shot
I would understand why people would hate them because of the vocals of Brian Johnson, there music sounds the same and overrated - Th3Zm0nst3r
I hate ac dc so much I listen to two of the most popular bands the Beatles and the beach boys.
They're overrated. Good band though - DCfnafV 2 Comments
They have been blindly hated but those haters don't see talent and skill in those people, hated for their looks before so what does have to do with music exactly or they have been hated for using country influences and not being heavy just shut up its music which you are not bothered to realise
People that have this band are the biggest dopes I have ever seen. They always say like "They a Pop Emo garbage", This statement alone tells you how stupid they are, A7X isn't Emo, they did have a makeup stage during the City of Evil album (Which was 11 years ago), but they aren't Emo. When they say "Pop" they meant A7X's softer songs like "So Far Away", yet they say similar songs to it aren't pop. All in all, it's not like you are required to like this band, it's your choice, but if you hate them for stupid reasons, you are dumber than a doorknob.
The fact that people refer to them as A7X is reason enough to hate this band. It's angry teenager music and that's all it will ever be.
Avenged Sevenfold IS AMAZINGV 1 Comment
Most stupid white middle class teenagers are scared of Marylin Manson. That's why they gang up on him. But Manson doesn't care and neither does his fans. He has amazing guitar rifts and if you don't get it you never will.
Best song: THE DOPE SHOW
I don't see why they are hated so much. They actually make decent music.
I know a lot of people hate Marilyn Manson. But I think he's pretty talented.
Marylin Manson. Ya he's a creeper! He is abnormal and honestly just scares the hello kitth out of me! His musicaAND his videos are freaky and dark! Not my kinda thing bro
They probably hate them because they think they're "satanic" which is a really stupid idea to hate popular rock/metal bands.
I swear this whole rumor of rock and metal needs to die. How would you people like it if I went around saying that country and rap are satanic? Would you fans of those genres appreciate that?
I'm no fan of Korn, but they don't have any reasons to be hated. They know how to play their instruments pretty good.
Chuck is a genius and he clearly set out to make real music rather than follow a trend. Like death doesn't sing about satanism or killing people because they don't believe in that. They actually try to spread positive message about philosophy and politics but are still brutal and heavy death metal.
No one really knows death outside of the death metal scene so saying that they're hated is a little rediculouse. But chuck is amazing
Didn't know Death was hated
No one can hated death
People hate slipknot because of their imagery. Trust me if they dressed like limp bizkit and sung about the stupid ignorant crap that limp biskit does they would be just as popular
People that hate Slipknot have never actually listened to them or have but just don't like the genre. You shouldn't hate a band because you think you would without listening to them and I know this because I was a Slipknot hater until I actually listened to them. and lastly if you don't like a specific type of music just don't listen to it no one is holding your family hostage and will kill them if you don't to them.
Chad aplin from Iowa is the backbone of this band best singer he took cory to school and showed him how to sing. Every slip fan should thank Chad. Chad aplin rules
I don't mind these guys but 9 members in their group. really? a real metal band would have 4-5 just to make music. how many guitars do they need? how many drummers do they need to make songs? also I hate their fans so much. their fans think they are the best metal band or they are the most heaviest band ever or corey taylor has the best screams of all time. have they not heard of metallica or Korn or slayer. people needs to listen to some to other bands than slipknot - Th3Zm0nst3rV 14 Comments
Linkin Park haters should hate all music because Linkin Park has mixed rap, rock, metal, alternative, and punk into one thing. With so much for so many different types of people to love why do people hate them so much? Oh yeah! They're stupid.
Best song: ONE STEP CLOSER
You are right who made this list is of course mad stupid... Linkin Park always gives hit songs whenever they release their album
Linkin park is one of the best bands today. I think people don't know what NU metal is - Th3Zm0nst3r
Chaotixhero hates him because Crush 40 is better in his opinion. - TheYoshiPyro64V 6 Comments

Who in the world can hate The Beatles only low life people like kids these days saying oh 1D is better than The Beatles and all that other crap like that. - austin.rose.733076
Anyone who hates Beatles must be in insane asylum.
I don't hate the Beatles, I just really don't care for their music.
What? to be honest, I don't LOVE the Beatles, but man, they're like the kings of pop!V 6 Comments
So what if David is a dick, he's one hell of a singer. That's for sure
He's actually a really nice dude. Met him at an In Flames show once. He tolerated my drunk ass for a few minutes.
Too soft and weak emotions lol! ! Grow some balls
Don't like the vocals - Th3Zm0nst3r
Disturbed is one of the best bands of modern metal.There is no denying the fact that their latest album is of good quality.They rlly make fantastic songs
Why are they in this list? The soul of everyone ask for songs of Bob Marley! People who say they hate Bob Marley, actual love them inside.
At this point I think people are just adding these bands to pissed us off
People think Mr. Marley only made music for stonners. As always those people are just biggots who haven't listened to the soul and lyrics of a Bob Marley song.
Best song: THREE LIL BIRDS
ICP is my favorite band. I get that people are allowed to like and not like things. But what bothers me is when some people go out of their way to say they hate them simply to try to make the people who do feel bad. And it's always for absolutely stupid reasons like "They dress like clowns! Therefore it's stupid! " "They curse too much! " "They caused Juggalos to exist! ". And usually those same people only listened to like one or two ICP songs.
I have some things to say.
I am a Juggalette who likes ICP, but from being one I know you don't have to like them to be a Juggalo. It's a subculture, a lifestyle, a way of thinking, a family. Juggalos can listen to what ever they want. And we're actually mostly decent people, we're just weird and misunderstood.
Also, don't bring even up the "Juggalos are a gang" or "People who listen to ICP are part of gang activity" lies. We aren't a gang. The authorities are realizing ...more
Why people hate ICP? I'm a Juggalette, and people are saying: "They just suck. Period. Grown men should not be running around wearing face paint and rap about killing people and doing drugs. Grow up."
That's simply stereotyping. You're the one who needs to grow up and stop judging people by their music taste. It's your life? No. Have I ever done something bad to you? No. Then why do you hate me? Mmfwcl
Their songs are misogynist, they rap about committing crimes and their lyrics are dreadfully disturbing. Their rapping is quite good, I admit (better than Eminem), but raps with misogynistic and disturbing lyrics is not something which I can appreciate. Sorry!
They're not that badV 6 Comments
Guns N' Roses are a great band, but I can't stand Axl Rose sometimes. I like and hate the guy at the same time, but some of us remember when Axl kicked a guy out for wearing a Slash shirt. I understand, but if I was him, I would just make him remove his shirt. Not just remove him from the bloody show. - Mumbizz01
There music suck and axel rose is a douchebag - Th3Zm0nst3r
Nirvana is underrated as well as overrated. After Kurt's death the isle split even farther, but I am on the side that appreciates the passion in their music as well as what they did for a generation!
What the hell does Creed or Candlebox have to do with Nirvana? They are crap, Nirvana isn't
Who started the let's blame nirvana for Creed and Candlebox trend? Because someone should take a baseball bat to their car. Nirvana has some of the best song writing and emmotion of any band. Period. RIP Kurt you did one hell of a job.
Best song: SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
Very overrated. - imabigpotatoV 1 Comment
Their music is so soulful. It bugs me when people say "Chris Martin sings falsetto all the time and it's so annoying" because in almost all of Queen's songs, Freddie Mercury sings falsetto. And if you don't like Chris Martin as a person, that doesn't mean you can't like Coldplay as a band.
Coldplay is an alright band that people appear to hate for no real reason. Songs like 'clocks' are brilliant, although there' later stuff is not as good. What I do hate about them is that people incorrectly label them as 'the most depressing band in existence. Coldplay are in no way at all depressing. Anyone who claims they are does obviously not know the meaning of depressing.
They make some of the most amazing music ever. People who hate their music have no taste whatsoever.
Coldplay there just another pop rock band that's desperate for money and attentionV 3 Comments

When Nebraska and other western states were first being divided into counties, people were allowed to "homestead" land. Many of us have ancestors that homesteaded here in Nebraska. Anyone who ever applied for a homestead via a homestead exemption or timber claim, was recorded at a U.S. Land Office. These homestead records are also known as U.S. Land Tract Records. For most of south central Nebraska homesteaders, the U.S. Land Office they needed to file their claim at was located in Bloomington, Nebraska. After the requirements were met, people were issued a homestead or timber claim number and certificate. However, there were also those people that applied for a homestead or timber claim, but for some reason or another, abandoned their claim or did not fulfill the requirements to get the certificate. For some early settlers that did not stay in this county, this is the only record that they would be found in. These original U.S. Land Tract Records are available on microfilm. Please contact your local library, genealogy or LDS History Center if you would like to view the microfilm of the original records. All of the U.S. Land Tract Records for Harlan County Nebraska Townships are included in this listing. Transcribing these old handwritten records was difficult and time consuming. I am sure errors exist, but we did the best we could.
A big thank you to Carol Wolf Britton for helping me type these records. Without her help this would not have been possible.
These Homestead Records are listed in alphabetical order by the Applicant's last name. This is a work in progress, so not all townships are available at this time. Please know that we did not include school and/or railroad land in these records as there were no names associated with those acres.
Q. What do the codes Tc, He and Cash mean in the Par Column?
The Tc = Timber Claim; the He = Homestead; and Cash = Paid Cash for Homestead.
Q. How can I get a copy of my ancestor's Homestead Papers?
To get a copy of your Harlan County ancestor's original Homestead
or Timber Claim papers, first locate your ancestor on the list.
If they fulfilled their claim, make a note of the Section, Township
and Range numbers. Write the Harlan County Clerk, 706 - 2nd Ave.,
Alma, Nebraska 68920. When you write the Clerk give the Section,
Township and Range information. Ask them how much it would cost
to send you your ancestor's Application Number and the Certificate
Number. Be sure to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope.
After you have this information, request NATF Form 84 by
writing: Textual Reference Branch-Land (NWDT1), National Archives
and Records Administration, 7th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington,
D.C. 20408. Fill out the form as requested.
Q. Is this list available in book form?
Not at this time.
Q. What is a Section? Township? Range? and how do you read a legal description?
The York County Nebraska web page has a very informative page on land descriptions in Nebraska that will really help out anyone with questions. Check out their web site at http://www.rootsweb.com/~neyork/landdescriptions.html.

Photographer's Note
This is an old bridge in town Viegrad near border of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina and it's one of the most monumental works of acrhitecture from 15th to 19th century. It's built in period from 1571. to 1577. Today it's a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
There is a beautiful scenic route from Foča to Viegrad. The road follows river Drina with many viaducts and tunnels through the stony and steep river bank of that great river. One of my favorite trips all together :)

Catherine J. Weatherford, new president and CEO of NAVA, says that the most important issues she sees facing the group and the industry are the protection of the favorable tax treatment accorded variable annuities, as well as the need to educate Americans about the importance of retirement planning and the value that VAs can have in such planning. Maintaining that tax treatment, she says, will keep it a "strong component" of retirement planning. She argues that the education of consumers on retirement planning in general has become even more important, with the disappearance of defined benefit plans, the increases in healthcare costs, and the fact that Americans live longer.
In addition to building "long-term, productive relationship" with other organizations in the insurance industry and with planners for finance and retirement, Weatherford also feels that one area in which NAVA can be helpful is through innovation: she points toward straight-through processing for the distribution chain as something that can be of tremendous help within the industry.
Building membership is also important to her, and along with her outreach to other organizations she plans on growing NAVA's rolls, as well as getting members more involved in what the organization is doing so that it becomes "stronger and better."

If you�re remotely connected to social media and not living under a rock, you can�t help but have heard about people�s outrage regarding Planned Parenthood and the Susan G. Komen foundation. Recently, there was controversy about Susan G. Komen refusing to allocate much needed funds to the national organization and female health care provider, Planned Parenthood. While there are certainly conspiracy theories floating around, political banter regarding pro-life, Republican influence and other sticky opinions, I have but one. I need Planned Parenthood. Why? Because even with insurance, my birth control is over $50 a month and once a year I walk into a Planned Parenthood location and in less than one hour, I walk out with an entire year supply worth over $600. That�s why.
I�m not here to push my religious views, influence girls into being pro-choice or open up a dialogue about the stigmas of birth control, premarital sex verses abstinence or any other highly contentious opinion. All I can say is that yes, I do use birth control and when I find ways to save $600, I�m smart enough to capitalize on it. So when I heard that one of the biggest funders for my money-saving machine was being pulled, my ears perked up.
Suddenly the conversation wasn't about all of the beneficial support, educational information regarding female health, or the affordable health care that Planned Parenthood provided; instead it was a myopically small conversation about political agendas and the way in which an individual can sway money allocations based on how they want to be perceived by the public. That is not alright with me. As I mentioned before, this has nothing to do with the moral implications of pro-life or pro-choice, though Planned Parenthood does provide abortion options. I think it's a shame when their organization is demonized for just one of the hundreds of helpful, potentially life-saving tests, procedures and education services they offer. They are providing an outlet for girls and women who otherwise would not have access to basic female health care and for that I am grateful.
What upsets me about this situation is that the girls are the ones who are punished by bigwigs (mostly guys) sitting in a room making major decisions impacting an entire demographic that most of them have zero contact with. You see, my life is girls and when I see them being neglected, their voices invalidated and their rights ignored, then it is my business. The irony is that the outrage Susan G. Komen ignited by their refusal to fund Planned Parenthood inspired more donations to Planned Parenthood than they have had in years and Susan G. Komen received such disapproval and controversial retaliation, that they retracted their original statement and decision to deny funding. A top official also just resigned as a result of the uproar. So, Planned Parenthood won in the end and walked away a well-funded saint.
Nobody messes with my girls. Thank you Planned Parenthood for the millions of girls you serve annually, for creating a way for all girls to afford proper health care and for staying strong when people hate on you. You have paid for my dear friend's ultrasound when she detected a lump, walked a friend through a pregnancy, treated a friend�s unfortunate sexual abuse aftermath, and provided me with affordable birth control. I appreciate you, and I�m glad you�re still in business.

Calif. Jury Convicts Chinese-born Engineer in Secrets Case – Gillian Flaccus
AP reports on the conviction in California of Chinese-born engineer Chi Mak on spying charges:
Federal prosecutors portrayed Mak as a polished agent for the Chinese who used his low-key lifestyle and good reputation as a cover for his real work – conspiring to pass U.S. secrets for more than two decades.
The jury sided Thursday with the government, also finding Mak guilty of acting as an unregistered foreign agent, attempting to violate export control laws and making false statements to the FBI.
Prosecutors had dropped a charge of the actual export of defense articles. [Full text]

Hi guys,
Sorry if this is an old topic.
I just found SMPlayer yesterday (12th Feb) through another web site, I downloaded and installed it, then found out about SMTube, I downloaded and installed that as well.
But, when I click on the Youtube Browser icon in the player the outer border of the player changes color and the cursor shows some sort of activity, but after about 3 seconds the player reverts back to its original state and the activity stops.
Nothing else happens, what am I missing?
Thanks in advance

Dreaming Up a "Grander Vision" for Grand Island
"What do you have to do between now and then? What are your dreams?"
The year 2025 is coming, and the mayor of Grand Island challenges community leaders plan for the future.
"This is an opportunity to engage people. A proud day," Jay Vavricek said.
With the help of outside facilitators, they scribbled ideas on a whiteboard at City Hall.
Grand Island could be the livestock capital of the nation hosting major stock shows, or it could have a four year college, with education delivered in person or by the fastest internet in the state.
Mayor Vavricek said, "There's no limitations, it comes down to time and energy, but a plan. While we can dream, it has to be practical and we want to go ahead and have a good foundation for the future, and that may be the future what you're seeing here."
It's similar to a process undertaken more than 15 years ago. The top priority was building an arena.
Who knew then proposed arena would end up hosting a football team and the Nebraska State Fair?
Anita Lewandowski-Brown, head of the YWCA says the goal was to make a better Grand Island.
"Fun to look back and see from '97 to 2002 what happened because of last visioning process. And if we could come close to that one more time, it takes us to the next level," she said.
This vision starts in the basement of City Hall. The next step is to get the community involved in setting goals.
Lewandowski-Brown said, "It's incredible to think about what we could have, what we could be. 2025 isn't that long off, and we could, we could change the face of our community."
A group of about two dozen filled the white board with ideas: another high school, an aquatics center, lower crime, low taxes, better jobs, appealing entrances into the city, the elimination of substandard housing, and capitalizing on the Sandhill crane migration, among many others.
The mayor says they dream today, so they can plan tomorrow.
Vavricek said, "It's going to be a neat opportunity."
The 1997 Heartland Vision process encouraged residents to cast votes for their favorite projects. This time, facilitators suggested using Facebook, Twitter, and text messaging to engage younger residents, while also finding ways to connect across the generations.

Charlie Villanueva scored 27 points and Richard Jefferson and Ramon Sessions each had 20 to help the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Atlanta Hawks 110-107 Saturday night.
Mike Bibby led Atlanta with 24 points and Joe Johnson, picked as a reserve to the Eastern Conference All-Star team for the third consecutive season, scored 22, including the 10,000th of his career, but the Hawks failed to snap a three-game losing streak to the Bucks in Milwaukee.
On Friday, Johnson scored 29 points in Atlanta's 105-88 victory over New Jersey which gave him 9,999 in his eighth year in the NBA.
The Bucks are 2-2 without scoring leader Michael Redd, who had a season-ending knee injury last Saturday against Sacramento. Bucks center Andrew Bogut played in his second consecutive game since missing eight with lower back spasms. He had nine points and six rebounds as head coach Scott Skiles limited him to 20 minutes or less.
Milwaukee improved to 17-2 at home against the Hawks since the 1998-99 season.
Sessions' layup gave the Bucks a 106-98 lead with 1:10 left. The Hawks didn't quit as Johnson, Marvin Williams and Josh Smith each had two points to close to 106-104 with seven seconds left.
Luke Ridnour and Jefferson each made a pair of free throws to keep Milwaukee ahead. Bibby hit a 3 at the buzzer.
The Hawks trimmed Milwaukee's 14-point lead down to 97-92 when Flip Murray, who scored 18 points, capped a 16-7 run with a wide-open 3-pointer from the corner with 4:14 left. He had eight points during the burst.
Bogut came in late in the third with the Bucks ahead 76-69. He scored four points and had two steals and an assist in a 11-5 run that gave Milwaukee an 87-74 lead heading into the final quarter.
The Bucks built a big lead, but the Hawks fought back before the half.
Charlie Bell, who had 16 points, and Villanueva each scored seven points during a 20-2 tear that gave Milwaukee a 40-22 lead with 8:04 left in the second. But the momentum quickly switched to the Hawks. The Bucks made just four field goals while Murray sparked a 17-2 run with six points and Smith added six as Atlanta got to 53-48 at the half.
Notes: Bell sank a shot from near half court to end the first quarter. ... Hawks C Al Horford missed his 12th straight game with a bone bruise in his right knee. Atlanta is (5-6+) during his absence. ... The Bucks, who finished January 9-9, led the NBA with five back-to-backs during the month.

Duncan Royale St. Basil
His family was quite wealthy and quite
large. St. Basil had four brothers and five sisters. They were also a very
religious family. Of the ten children, four were eventually canonized as
saints, as were the father, mother and two grandmothers. They were quite a
remarkable family.
As a young man, St. Basil was well
educated by tutors. At sixteen he was sent to Athens in Greece to complete
his education, since Athens was the real center of learning at that time.
St. Basil was a good student and often after a hard day of study, he liked
to relax by taking a walk and singing hymns as he went along. One day he
came across some boys who made fun of him because he was singing hymns in
praise of God. They wanted to pick a fight with him, when suddenly the
staff he was holding burst into bloom. Frightened and bewildered, the boys
left him alone. The staff had bloomed into the Christmas Rose and the
people of Greece remember this event every year on St. Basils feast
St. Basil returned to Caesarea where he
became a monk. Eventually a community of monks grew up around him. They
founded orphanages and schools and the monks became good teachers to the
After many years, St. Basil became Bishop
of Caesarea and was a true shepherd to his flock. He established
institutions for the sick and the needy, and for strangers and pilgrims.
He provided training for unskilled workers and taught the rich to use
their generosity to help the poor. St. Basil died, worn out by work,
ill-health and the austerities of life, in 379 A.D., on January 1, when he
was only 49 years old. The people of Greece never forgot him and his
wonderful generosity and every year they commemorate his coming to Athens
on a ship. In Athens itself, models of ships are carried around by
carolers who make a collection of money in them for the poor.
Children receive gifts from St. Basil on
his feast day and traditional Basil cakes are eaten to honor this
patron saint of Greece.

SALT LAKE CITY — State wildlife officials are celebrating a big success story in conservation efforts of a tiny fish found only in Utah and dating back to ancient Lake Bonneville times.
The relatively rare nod of approval by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service issued Monday removes the least chub from the candidate list under an endangered species listing, meaning efforts to address threats to the least chub have proven successful.
"I see this as a good decision," said Cassie Mellon, the native aquatic species program coordinator with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. "This decision comes from multiple agencies working together with private landowners, people working to voluntarily conserve this species."
The least chub, a 2-inch fish, was known to only exist in three distinct settings in Utah in the 1990s and went on the candidate list in 2010 for protections under the Endangered Species Act.
All of its natural habitat is in Snake Valley in Utah's western desert, where a Nevada groundwater pumping project posed imminent threats to the species but has since been indefinitely delayed.
Over the past two decades, the state has worked with the Bureau of Land Management and private landowners to introduce least chub to 22 additional sites. Today, 28 ponds and wetlands have least chub in them.
"The help private landowners gave us was crucial to increasing the number of least chub in Utah," Mellon said. "Without their help, we would not have been able to establish the number of least chub populations we've established."
The federal wildlife agency reached its decision to remove the fish from its candidate list via an amendment to a conservation agreement that was signed by the BLM, the state wildlife agency, the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, the Southern Nevada Water Authority and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
"Given the partners' long-term history of commitment to conserving this species, we are confident that continued conservation of this unique fish in Utah will be secure into the future," said Noreen Walsh, regional director of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's Mountain-Prairie Region.
But environmental groups called the decision by the federal agency a step backward and insisted protections are still needed.1 comment on this story
"We're glad some of the threats to the least chub have been reduced, but given its limited range and other ongoing threats, this unique little fish clearly still warrants endangered status," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director with the Center for Biological Diversity.
Mellon said in those carefully selected locations that lack predator fish, the 10 "refuge" populations are thriving and serve as a "backup" to those that exist in the wild.
"I think it is just a cool little fish," she added. "It is so small and has these bright red and orange colors when it is spawning. And it exists in this little spring oasis that is surrounded by desert, an amazing ecosystem for a fish that has been around thousands of years. "

Friday, May 17 - 7:05 p.m.
Savannah Sand Gnats (22-16)
RHP Robert Gsellman (14.1 IP, 9 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 7 BB, 7 K)
Augusta GreenJackets (23-16)
RHP Joe Biagini (18.2 IP, 6.27 ERA, 2.88 FIP, 23.6 K%, 12.4 BB%, .357 BABIP)
Gsellman made two starts for Advanced-A St. Lucie, allowing three runs in nine innings. His most recent outing was his first at Savannah, allowing one run in 4.1 innings against Rome.
Gsellman was a 13th-round pick in 2011 out of a Los Angeles high school. The 19-year-old right-hander has shown some control issues in his limited work sample since being drafted, while his strikeout numbers have yet to make up the difference.
Augusta's starter is a fellow Californian, attending UC Davis and getting picked in the 26th round of the same draft. Biagini's peripherals have been solid, which is the reason for the large discrepency between his ERA and FIP. His walk rate is fairly high, but he makes up for it with a good strikeout rate, and he keeps the ball on the ground pretty well.
Biagini's BABIP is also very high in his small sample, and as it regresses to the norm, so should the ERA.
Biagini's last two outings have been his worst to date, allowing a combined 10 runs - eight earned - in 4.1 innings. He has failed to go at least five innings in each of his past three starts.

Wow! It's been a whole year since my last Father's Day post? Time sure did fly by.
Last year husband was in Afghanistan. He probably didn't even realize it was Father's day. We probably sent him a box and added some goodies and cards, and he probably got the box with that sinking feeling in his heart that he was missing yet another occasion with the kids. Thousands of daddy's are feeling that sinking feeling this year as they celebrate with their children through pictures and boxes and cards. To make those daddy's (and mommy's who missed Mother's day with their kids) feel better, why not go here to find some wonderful ways to help.
Next year husband is scheduled to be gone as well. I am sure he would love to get packages and love and support from everyone who knows him, as well as those who don't. So why not support the soldiers this year. It's never too late to say Thank You.

migrating from vmware to kvm, lvm partitioned guest failed to boot
I'm trying hard to convert some of my VMs from vmware ESX to KVM on ubuntu 10.04 server. the guests are fedora 10, they have a ext3 /boot partition and /root and swap file systems are on a lvm. I tried all these three:
1- trying to boot vmdk disk image directly (kvm now supports vmdk)
2- convert vmdk to raw then boot
3- convert vmdk to qcow2 and boot
in all these three scenarios, the grub loads (so /boot is found succesfully from the disk) but after the grub menu, there is an error message:
""could not detect stabilization....
volume group "volgroup00" not found
unable to access resume device /dev/volgroup00/logvol01""
I've tried all three scenarios by using ide and scsi, nothing changed. I have also installed an ubuntu vm, and add this disk image as a secondary disk to it, the ubuntu can see all /boot , /root and swap on the disk image. so the disk is alright but the fedora kernel, when booted on kvm cant see the lvm partition, on vmware it works with no problem.
can any one give me some hints or solutions?
Problem Solved! one nasty mistake of mine! that was trying to boot an i686 fedora installation by a x86_64 VM architecture!
Good job!
Not only did you find your own solution, you posted as well. You have added to the LQ archive of answers, Thank you +6.
Same problem - different cause?
I've started a new thread here as I shouldn't really have posted to a solved thread.

The Punter: Nigel is worth a gamble
Nigel Worthington is 4-6 with William Hill to continue as Northern Ireland manager and at first glance, that looks a certainty, but recent talk both from himself and the Irish FA, suggests that it is not past the post and some serious negotiations are due to take place today.
Worthington speaks as he finds - nothing wrong with that - but cleary despite his six games in charge which brought two wins and a draw, he is unhappy with certain aspects of the job.
However, the way should be smoothed to keep Nigel on board and he's a solid bet to stay as opposed to 11-10 the he won't.
On the World Cup front, Northern Ireland have been given a tough draw with only the winners guaranteed a place in the South African finals in 2010.
With the Czech Republic and Poland to contend with and an extremely poor away record, Northern Ireland will be doing very well to get second spot and a play-off place,
Eastwood's offer 14-1 that we can top the group with the Czechs at 8-15 and Poland 12-5.
There is value to be had in taking the Poles who took four points off Portugal in winning Group A of the European qualifiers and reaching the finals for the first time.
They only lost two games in 14 and landed odds of 9-2 in winning that group.
There is no point in looking at 2,500-1 for Northern Ireland to win the World Cup as odds of 250,000-1 would not be taken, not even for £1. The coin would be better spent on the lottery.
One has to ask if the layers have taken leave of their senses in qutoing England at 11-10 to automatically qualify with Croatia and Ukraine to contend with.
Croatia are 6-4 to top Group Six and there is no solid reason why they can not outdo England again. England are the worst value at 12-1 to win outright and not worth considering at 11-10.
Holland, Italy and Germany should top their respecitve groups, making for a 13-8 treble approximately.
Count on Ince for Rams
Paul Ince could land one of the biggest punts of the season if getting the Derby County job.
Currently with MK Dons, he has been backed from 33-1 to odds-on.
That would appear to speak for itself and it will be a major shock if he is not in charge of the Rams sooner rather than later.
Former England manager Steve McClaren has drifted to 24-1 on Befair while Paul Jewell is 3.8 after being as low as 2.2
That makes it a two-horse race with Ince well in front in the last furlong.
Paddy Power have suspended their market having earlier this week had the former Man United 'Guv'nor' at 11-8.
Ince is on a meteoric rise up the managerial ladder following his success at Macclesfield and now the MK Dons.
Skybet offered that 33-1 which only lasted half an hour while Ladbrokes also suspended their market after 90 minutes of trading.
"If money talks, it's a done deal," said a Ladbrokes spokesman.
Meanwhile, Rafael Benitez is odds-on to be the next Premiership boss to lose his job.
It would appear there are irreconcilable differences between him and Liverpool's American owners.
Much will be revealed after tonight's game with Porto and Paddy Power make him as low as 1-8 to be in charge at Anfield by the end of the year.
If Rafa is out, he would be the ideal candidate for the England job. Start asking for prices now.
Go to Star and back another to strike gold
Kauto Star's owner Clive Smith believes 9-4 is a good price for his horse to repeat his Gold Cup victory at Cheltenham next March.
That being the case, then the 5-2 offered by Star Racing in Belfast's Donegall Lane, has to be taken.
Kauto knocked his doubters for six with a top-class performance in winning the Betfair Chase at Haydock last Saturday.
As for those who think Exotic Dancer is getting closer to him - he was beaten just half a length, much closer than last year's three meetings - should listen to Tony McCoy.
The champion jockey has pointed out that it's ok getting to Kauto Star, but passing him is a different kettle of fish.
That's telling us that Exotic is hardly likely ever to get his head in front of the current Gold Cup champion.
The pair will clash again in the King George on Boxing Day for which Kauto is a best priced Evens.
The major threat to Kauto next March may come from Denman who if he wins Saturday's Hennessey Gold Cup under top weight, would really put himself in the Cheltenham picture and give trainer Paul Nicholls who also has Kauto Star, plenty to think about.

Click here to view this resume
Resumes are a fundamental part of the job hunting process. Turn to LiveCareer to make sure you have the help you need to create a resume that will impress employers. Take a look at this transcript analyst II resume sample to see what mistakes others have made so you can avoid making them yourself.
Handing section order
The order of your resume sections is deceptively simple. It may seem like you can format it however you see fit, but employers expect the standard organization to be implemented. This standard has been developed to organize the information in a way that it is easy for them to learn what they need to know quickly. You should begin with a summary that is about four lines long, then a skill highlight that is two columns of three or four bullet points. Next, your experiences section should have five to eight points for each position held. Finally, a few details of your educational experiences should be covered.
How to format your experiences
As previously mentioned, the experience section should take the form of several bulleted lists. Failure to format the experience section in this way is a major mistake for this sample resume. This is what it looks like now: Transcript Analyst II 08/2011 to Current Texas A&M University College Station, TX Responsible for examining, evaluating, and entering student academic records to determine Admission eligibility. Assists with other undergraduate processing and answers admissions-related inquiries from prospective students, parents and the academic departments.Answers general office email, assists with walk-in traffic and telephone inquiries from applicants and their parents. Handles special projects as assigned by supervisor. Take note how difficult it is to gain any information from this paragraph because it is just a block of text. Each bullet point should start with a strong action verb, no personal pronouns should be used, and you should cover previous responsibilities. Once it is all put together, it may look like this: Transcript Analyst II 08/2011 to Current Texas A&M University College Station, TX
Managing your resume's length
The most significant problem with this sample resume is its length. If you fail to fill an entire page, it will create a bad impression with employers before they even begin reading. You should not bleed onto a second page unless you are covering more than 10 years of work experiences. Correcting the formatting in the experience section will significantly lengthen this resume, but it also may be necessary to add some optional extra sections.
Extra sections
In addition to the standard sections that are expected of your resume, there are a couple optional sections that you can add. The most common section that writers include is an Accomplishments section right after the skills highlight. This should be a bulleted list of at least three points detailing specific and tangible results of your actions in the past. Examples of appropriate accomplishments are Increased profits by 6% or Improved efficiency with a consistent work process. You can also choose to outline awards you have won at this point. Alternatively, at the end of your resume, you can include a section for Affiliations, Certifications, or Licenses. One of the best ways to improve your own resume is to study samples and tips that experts have compiled. Be sure to take advantage of QuintCareer's resume writing advice and use the Resume Builder.

They took bizzare time signatures, lovecraftian, sci-fi tinged lyrics and an uncompromising musical ethos and took it dead seriously. There were no joke songs or funny tour stories; it was all about the music. Leaving people to uncover the meaning behind some very cryptic songwriting. With a furious, salsa dancing, wildman of a singer by the name of Cedric Zavala , Jim Ward, a pop loving, punk rocker rythm guitar player, and Omar Lopez, a genius of a lead guitar player who used the guitar as a veritable orchestra of effect pedals. In 1998 our Texas purveyours of Punk released an album called In/Casino/Out on fearless records. Described by frontman Cedric as "an attempt to capture the live sound of At the Drive-In." In some ways this is true. I was lucky enough to see ATDI in the year 2000 right after the reease of RElationship of Command. I gotta say, this record comes pretty close to capturing that live soun. The record was recorde with the hold band in the same room playing together' giving the record a raw edge. Not quite the same as Cedric Zavala doing a handstand ont he drumkit while holding a microphone in his mouth but it's still very energetic. All of the classic ATDI songwriter tropes are herem the alternate tunings, the frantic vocals, the morse code drumming, and the exceedingly literate lyrics that we all know and love. Highlights incude the beautiful outro to lopsided, The crushing emotion of Napolean solo, the pure songwriting skill of alpha centerai, and Omar's glorious afro.

Crawford, Ellsbury nearing next step in rehab
Crawford, Ellsbury nearing next step in rehab
Assuming Crawford gets the go sign from the medical staff, he will probably move to another affiliate to continue his rehab, rather than continue on in Fort Myers, Fla.
"Get under the lights, yeah," said Valentine. "Play before a crowd and all that stuff. He feels good health-wise."
Crawford hasn't played at all in 2012, thanks to left wrist surgery and a sprained UCL in his left elbow.
The outfielder who is closest to re-joining the active roster is Scott Podsednik, who has been moving around well in his rehab at Triple-A Pawtucket.
It wouldn't be surprising if Podsednik, who had a mild left groin strain, is activated when the Red Sox open a three-game series against the Yankees on Friday.
Reliever Andrew Bailey, who had right thumb surgery the day before the season, played catch at 150 feet on Sunday. He is close to getting on the mound, said Valentine.

Tips for Saving Money This Summer - Money Smart Week
April 13, 2012
Saving money sounds so grown up and responsible. Who wants to do that at 15, 16, or 17? Summer jobs and the extra money that comes with it are meant for shopping or going to the movies with friends. If your parents give you an allowance, then that's free "whatever" money, right?
But what happens when summer is over and the job takes a backseat to school, homework, and after school activities? Now your spending money is coming from Mom and Dad, and that can be pretty awkward after earning your own. Not to mention, asking for an extra $20 can be even more deflating when weeks before your pockets were lined with plenty of the green stuff after getting your allowance.
Well, here's a way for you to avoid the embarrassment of asking your parents for money come September. Celebrate Money Smart Week by learning to save some of your earnings from your summer job or allowance.
Here are some tips to get you started:
- Set a goal for how much you would like to save.
- Eat meals at home with your family before you go out for the evening. Not only is it healthier, but it saves you $10 as well.
- Rent a movie once in while instead of going to the movies. Make it a fun night with friends and cook dinner at home as well. For extra fun, make it a themed party.
- Avoid impulse buying when you go shopping. I know easier said than done, but it is possible. Hold the item you are considering buying in your hand or shopping cart. Walk around with it while continuing to shop. By the time you are ready to checkout, take another look at the item and see if your desire for it has waned. If so, you have just saved yourself some money.
- Find a safe place to keep your money. You can open a savings account or keep it hidden in your room. It depends on how accessible you want it to be and how much you trust yourself not to dip into it.
- If you are responsible for paying some of your own bills, budget for necessities and for fun.
- Always remember to pay yourself first though. Again, decide on an amount and stick to it with every pay check or allowance given.

Paper Published for IMPACT 7 – Melbourne, Australia
In 2010 I held the position as the Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award Coordinator at the Fremantle Arts Centre in Western Australia. The FAC Print Award is a national competition and one of Australia's major acquisitive awards in print. Whilst in this position I wrote a paper which will be published in the program for the IMPACT 7 Conference to be held in Melbourne in September 2011. IMPACT is an international multi-disciplinary printmaking conference, and the paper entitled Fremantle Arts Centre Print Award – Novelty Cheques, Free Beer and New Audiences charts some of the shifts that have taken place during the life of the FAC Print Award and the way in which these changes reflect the increasing sophistication and diversity approaches and artistic output by profiling some of the past winners and notable entrants. The paper will be presented on my behalf at the conference by a representative of FAC as I will be in Berlin.

SALTON CITY, Calif. – U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Indio station arrested a smuggler yesterday attempting to transport more than $560,000 worth of methamphetamine.
The incident occurred at around 5 a.m., when a Border Patrol canine team alerted to a black-colored Chevy pickup truck at the Highway 86 Checkpoint near Salton City, Calif. The man that was driving the vehicle is a 37-year-old United States citizen. After a thorough search of the truck in secondary inspection, agents discovered approximately 18 pounds of methamphetamine hidden under the passenger side seat.
The driver, vehicle and narcotics were turned over to the Drug Enforcement Administration

Vince Carter's - Daytona Beach, Florida
But don't think Vince Carter's is packed with memorabilia a la Hard Rock Café. "Vince wanted his outstanding basketball career to only be represented by subtle touches," she says. The Highlight Zone, which is the high-end sports bar, dons a few pieces of basketball art; in the entry, there is a retail space that features some mementos of Carter; and custom painting of the star hangs on a high wall in the main dining room.
Elsewhere, throughout the 11,000-square-foot space, the designers used rich and contrasting dark wood stains, warm colors (raspberry, gold, metal hues), touches of metal (steel copper, and pewter), lots of textures, and clean lines. And there is motion and curves to the design—in the massive hanging features with undulating metal strips to curved details in the carpet pattern. "Our goal was to create a rich, high-class, yet comfortable and approachable atmosphere," Schmidt says. "While the color palette was different than you might expect, all the aspects came together to create a beautiful aesthetic. It really draws you into the space."
Schmidt's favorite room: the VIP dining room. Elliptical in shape, it features an oval ceiling cut out with staggered furrdowns, which guests can see on to the exterior 30-foot high windows, she explains. And the room has a warm glow, thanks to gold and pewter hues, custom blown glass pendants that hang from the ellipse, and a 25-foot custom glove glass chandelier that spirals from the ceiling.
"The restaurant features four inside dining and drinking environments, as well as three exterior patio areas. Each offers a unique guest experience for both traditional and private dining," Schmidt says.

Men and women have been around for as long as reliable historical records can tell us. During that entire time, gender roles have changed and shifted from one extreme to the next, never settling on an equality between the two and always seeming to favor the male population.
We have seen many changes in the struggle for gender equality. And one area in which we have seen a greater role for women is in the arts.
But just how equal is it for women who choose to pursue their own muses in the arena of rock music? Women have always been accepted in the role of muse and inspiration. Even as performers, many have enjoyed illustrious careers — albeit within the strictures of a male-dominated industry.
Rebecca Dixon
That's changed a great deal in the last several decades: Women today operate at an unprecedented level of equality in the business of making music, calling the shots and melting faces all on their own.
But are things truly even at this point?
We decided to ask some women who might know better than most to find out: Rebecca Dixon, singer-songwriter-guitarist for the Dallas-based Lovie; Kristen DeRocha, bassist for Lovie; and singer-songwriter Jessie Frye from Denton.
Each of these talented women had more than a few things to say on the subject of women in rock.
Given the strong, male-centric nature of the rock music industry, how, if at all, has being a woman affected your musical choices?
DeRocha: I have to wear way more make-up than I normally would. It also contributes to my struggle with anorexia. [Laughs.]
Frye: I have never personally seen the rock music industry as male-centric, but I have seen people feed into this idea, which cultivates it. Growing up, I was mesmerized by a lot of male artists that had an extremely feminine presence — acts like David Bowie, The Cure, T. Rex. And, of course, I wore the tape out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. But I really do enjoy paradox, and I think that is why male artists that are comfortable enough to play with their feminine side really inspire me. It's all about perception.
What do you feel are the differences between men and women in a band setting?
Frye: I identify myself as an artist before I identify as male or female. Gender can either be a barrier or a creative outlet. I choose the creative outlet. I get along really well with my bandmates; we have all known each other for a very long time. And I feel they respect me just as much as they would respect a male band leader.
Dixon: I've been involved in an all-female band setting, hung out in all-male band settings and rehearsed in mixed-gender band settings. There honestly aren't that many differences. All bands have members that fill the shoes of a particular bandmate stereotype. All bands ultimately have the same issues. This is a fact. I've heard stories.
What is the perceived fan reaction to you and your music? How large a role do you feel gender plays in that?
DeRocha: People think we're cute and silly. Oh, and they come to stare at our drummer, Leanna [Bates]. I don't think they hear my creamy bass tone while they're staring.
Frye: People often tell me that I come across as very sensual when we play live, very in touch with the music. I think it's silly to think that only women possess that power on stage. Look at Robert Plant, for example.
Dixon: There is no denying that gender plays a role. A crowd might stick around to see if we can "really" play or they'll stick around because they like girls in pigtails and short skirts and knee socks. I think Lovie has really proved that we're not just shtick, and, because of it, hopefully we earn the audiences' respect. But there are still occasional hurdles and those who are hard to win over. My favorite eavesdrop was at a gig in Fort Worth. I was at the bar, getting a drink and overheard this conversation between two men. "What's going on in here tonight?" one guy asked. The other's answer: "Oh, some lesbian band is playing."
What stereotypes and gender pitfalls have you tried hard to avoid or been criticized for not resisting?
Frye: My band respectfully stays away from shows that are billed and promoted as a girls-only kind of thing. It just does not feel right for the band. I think, if it feels right for someone else, that is awesome. But we have discussed it, and we do not want to necessarily be seen as "girl music." Hell, the three other members in my band are male!
Is it harder to be a woman in music?
Frye: No. I have a certain way of dealing with it in my head. I am pretty gender-neutral as it is. But that does not mean I don't think you should celebrate your sexuality, or your feminine or masculine traits.
DeRocha: I think it's hard to be an all-girl band. One or two women in a band actually make it look more "indie" these days.
What have been some of your largest disappointments as women in the music scene? Biggest rewards?
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Frye: The only disappointments come from social constructions. Because I am female and write the songs and lead the band, critics or audiences may be quick to judge. They may have preconceived notions about gender that this band doesn't even pay attention to or consider. But it doesn't bother me.
Where do you see things headed in music with regard to gender and what would you like to see happen differently?
Frye: We will accomplish something when we stop seeing them as women musicians, and see them as just musicians first. After a while, it makes me feel like people think it is a miracle that a woman can play and sing. There is a very fine line between celebrating gender and making a novelty of it.
Dixon: I've always had great role models to look up to — Chan Marshall, Joan Jett, Kim Deal, Juliana Hatfield, Alison Moshart, Dolores O'Riordan, Jenny Lewis, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Liz Phair, Jenn Wasner, Aimee Mann, Mary Timony, the list goes on. It seems like music has always managed to generate some powerful female talent all on its own.

Always consider these specialty malts when crafting a new recipe to enhance your brew.
The Wiz lavishly answers questions from two frugal homebrewers on saving your brewers yeast and making your own specialty grains.
Like dark beers, but not the bitter astringency that sometimes comes with dark grains? Don't be bitter, debitter — by using debittered black malt, a dark malt with the husk reduced. Plus: clone recipes for Dragon Stout, Klosterbrauerie Ettaler Curator Doppelbock, Schneider Aventinus and St. Bernardus Abt 12 (60th Anniversary Edition) .
Roasted barley is not a malt, but it is the stuff of stouts . . . and more. Whenever you need an aromatic, espresso-like flavor or a dark beer with a light head, roasted barley is the key. Plus: four clone recipes
I'm not sure of anything as ubiquitously distributed and enjoyed the world over as "chockies." From the creamy goodness of milk chocolate to the biting dryness of very dark cocoa, it's entirely loved. If only there were something in brewing that we could use to mimic chocolate. If only...
How to blend a pale beer with a dark roast extract to build the perfect pint of stout.
