Revenge Season 2: Who Picks the Music?
In the finale scene of Revenge Season 1, we see Victoria Grayson and Lydia Davis boarding a plane in slow motion. Typically, this would look strange, but add in Florence + the Machine's "Seven Devils," and you have a scene that sends chills up every Revenge fan's spine.
Who made this fitting musical selection? Music supervisor Season Kent and composer iZLER help make Revenge the well-oiled vengeance machine it is.
Yesterday, actor Gabriel Mann (Nolan Ross) tweeted the two asking about the music for Season 2.
is it time to talk about the music yet..?— Gabriel Mann (@Gabriel_Mann) August 21, 2012
#REVEN8E S2 @izler @season_kent @abcmusiclounge x
And Season Kent, who has worked on music for the films Limitless and The Fighter, responded, saying:
oh yah! Already on it! RT— Season Kent (@Season_Kent) August 21, 2012
@izler: " @gabriel_mann: is it time to talk about the music yet..? #REVEN8E S2 @izler @season_kent @abcmusiclounge
We have no doubt Season 2 is in good hands! And in the meantime, Revenge Season 1 comes out on DVD today, so be sure to pick up your copy and listen for Season and iZLER's work!

"SoundCloud is focused on building out a massive trove of content, weaving it all into the Web and making it easier to share. The "YouTube for audio" analogy looks increasingly apt, especially if its metrics continue to shoot skyward." - ReadWrite
"SoundCloud is a sharing machine. Remember the early days of audio online — when you had to download the Real Player or Windows Media Player to listen? The days of downloading before listening are over." - USA Today
"It's an evolution of audio's most vital self-service creation and discovery platform, music's best analogue to Twitter, YouTube, and Kindle Direct Publishing. It's not just finding or sharing songs or podcasts or spoken-word readings your friends may be listening to — it's finding and sharing the people who make those recordings, too." - The Verge

Common Questions/Answers for Poweramp v2.x:
Q. My songs are missing from folders/library.
A. Please ensure you have all your folders with music actually checked in Poweramp Settings => Folders and Library => Music Folders.
Your original Android Library is not changed, nor any files deleted.
Poweramp library is a separate, completely independent library. When you installed Poweramp 2.0, it just got filled with the files scanned from your sd card/other flash memory, as specified in Music Folders.
Q. Volume too low. Volume changes weirdly. Other volume issues.
A. Try to disable Direct Volume Control in Poweramp Settings => Audio => Advanced Tweaks.
Poweramp 2.x uses Direct Volume Control by default on 2.3+ mid-to-high end devices. On stock ROMs this produces much better audio output. But many custom/buggy ROMs, while supporting DVC, can fail with it.

This is St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana. This photograph has been featured in travel magazines, e-zines, and won a number of awards. This is the most photographed area of Glacier National Park.
Saint Mary Lake is the second largest lake in Glacier National Park, in the U. S. state of Montana.
Located on the east side of the park, the Going-to-the-Sun Road parallels the lake along its north shore. At an altitude of 4,484 feet (1,367 m), Saint Mary Lake's waters are colder and lie almost 1,500 feet (460 m) higher in altitude than Lake McDonald, the largest lake in the park, which is located on the west side of the Continental Divide.

Fridge: Tiny Toon Adventures
- Fridge Logic: In the 7-minute short "Falling To Pizzas", Calamity is unable to purchase pizza selling for $1.50 a slice — yet is apparently able to purchase gadgets as expensive as a solar-powered helicopter from the Acme Shopping Network! One wonders if he holds a credit card that can only be used exclusively for Acme products...
- Fridge Brilliance: The show practically has No Fourth Wall, so it makes sense that Calamity, modeled after Wile E. Coyote, would have considerably less trouble getting Acme products than his inspiration did. After all, technically Wile E. should have had to pay for shipping, too, while Calamity can probably just go to the AcmeMart.
- In Going Up, the mall thief that Baby Plucky encounters is the chainsaw maniac from How I Spent My Vacation, which means Plucky is the reason he went off the deep end, and he recognizes him after all that time.
- Fridge Horror: Gogo is the son of the original Dodo. He's also referred to as "last of the dodos" and his father is never seen on screen. This implies that his father is dead. Of course, when his dad claimed to be the last of the dodos, his other dodo pals chimed in to confirm, so maybe the "last of the dodos" is a title of some sort? In Wackyland, anything goes.
- Fridge Brilliance: Why does Acme Looniversity have a Spotlight Stealing class? Because it was built by Bugs Bunny, who stole the spotlight from Daffy Duck as the star of the original Looney Tunes.

I've come up with a lot of good, and horrible display names over the years. NakedSnake on BF2 (which got reported for pornographic reference), Dredx_10 on Socom II... and the list goes on.
My PSN ID was chosen just because at the time I purchased my PS3, I was playing World of Warcraft. My character's name on there happens to be NickiChaos. So I decided unifying my online IDs would be a good idea, so I stuck with it. Pretty simple.
For my Xbox Live gamertag, I tried to use NickiChaos only to find out someone had stolen my god damn name! Oh well... So when thinking back to games I've played, one evil creature that always killed me stuck out in my mind. Resident Evil's Bandersnatch. It's the higher form of the Hunter. It was badass in the games, so I figured some of that badassery would rub off on my XBL matches.
Decided to keep Bandersnatch as my name for 1up because... well... it's just badass.
So leave your stories behind your names in the comments below.

Hi! My name is Mary Ellen Taylor. First and foremost you should know that I LOVE teaching first grade. The 2014-2015 school year marks my 18th year as a first grade teacher. The time has certainly flown by! I have often heard people remark that first grade is the most rewarding grade to teach. I must agree! First grade is a year filled with so much academic and social growth, and it is amazing to watch it take place.
My family keeps me busy. I enjoy spending time with my husband Steve and my 3 children, Matthew, Evan and Mary Kate. We also have a dog named Max. I love to read, play the piano, and spend time with my family.
I am looking forward to a great 2014-2015 school year!

This is where you are wrong. It doesn't matter who developed the container when it comes to DRM. What matters is the licence validation server. Infact Adobe while they have DRM provisions in the format leave it open for the retailer to select their own DRM format so DRM is all down to the retailer. If Kobo shut theirs off tomorrow then you couldn't validate your licence and you are done for.
Its why there were problems in the early days of digital music when services were shutting down left right and centre as most choose to use WMA. This is a Microsoft format but when the services shut down it didn't matter. As soon as your licence expired and it had to renew it it couldn't access the licence validation server as it wasnt there and you were locked out.
Its also why when the the Vdio, video spinoff of Rdio announced it was closing in December they gave everyone who had purchased content Amazon vouchers so they could rebuy their content.
Amazon uses their own system and as poplar as Kindle is, a lot of other stores just don't offer ebooks in the kindle format
Waterstones, their e-books is in Epub format
Sainsburys ebooks are in Epub format.
No doubt there are others, but I have not really looked into it.
sites that offer free books and just because they are free, don't mean they are rubbish, most of them are in epub.
Yes most services use ePub but i'm not sure why that matters?
And who said Free books are rubbish? Most however are either amateur writers or are out of copyright and most of these kinds are also available in Kindle format, infact more often than not from Amazon themselves which isn't always the case with some of the default stores.
But I am buying from the default store, not sure where you got the idea from I am not.
Part of your point in your first post is you didn't want tied into Amazon's eco system so you choose a Kobo. Seeing as you were implying not being tied to a single eco system is a good thing then the fact that it takes pretty much the same effort to buy a book off say Sainsburys and put it on a Kindle or a Kobo ultimately defeats the myth about being tied into an eco system. If you can sideload books from other stores then you can open calibre and add it to your kindle with it converting it for you.
You are simply no more tied into an eco system with a Kindle than you are any other ereader.
I have grabbed some free books from other sources, but I normally stick them onto a SD card, try doing that with a kindle. sure there is more than enough space on the device itself, but the SD card slot is still useful,, i can stick a bus time table on there when I go visiting. i have not done it with the touch, but I done it with the old kobo.
May not have a SD Card reader (Might not be an issue with eBooks as they arent that big and doesn't require frequent read/writes but the whole 'no SD card' issue on phones and tablets is a red herring anyway as the read speed on an SD card doesn't really make it viable for anything but archiving items you don't access often) but you can email books, pdfs, text documents and the likes to your kindle email address and they show up within seconds
Infact I haven't tried it but the service does convert some file types to Amazon format so it may even convert ePubs for you.
But certainly it would take 30 seconds to put a bus timetable on a kindle.
As for AMD processors, they do what I want to do and more, I prefer AMD and have done more or less since I came into the wolrd fo the PC from my amaiga, apart from the first PC, which was a cyrix. apart from my laptop I have never had a Intel machine and I am not starting now. If you think AMD chips are underpowered, then think again, they certainly are not.
AMD chips have always been underpowered compared to Intel's. They just gave you more bang for your buck and like you I used to always choose AMD but since Intel launched the i Series they just haven't been able to keep up. They seem to be too focused on the Graphics Card side since buying ATI. So while their Graphic card benchmarks regularly beat nVidea's equivalent of the card and usually at a lower price you simply don't see that with the CPU's. The price difference simply hasn't been enough to justify AMD for a while now
I do think Amazon have got too big and like google they are trying to get their feet into everything and trying to link it all together. look at Lovefilm, at the moment I am still using it for a couple of disks a month, everytime I log into the site they want me to link it with my Amazon account. Something I don't want to do, after all I joined Lovefilm as lovefilm, not Amazon. Ok that is not 100% true, I joined lovefilm as Sainsburys DVD rental, but Sainsburys dumped it and Lovefilm took over my account, because it was run by lovefims anyway
I don't think its anywhere near as bad as Google. Google have moved into areas that there's no reason for them to. Amazon have moved into areas that extend their current business (or in the case of their 'hosting' services like S3, Glacier etc simply uses the spare server capacity they have). They want people to move their lovefilm logins because its easier to maintain a single login system than two separate ones. Also I would imagine they are getting ready for when they will close Lovefilm as Physical rentals are falling to bring Amazon.co.uk inline with Amazon.com by moving to a streaming only service that comes as part of your Amazon prime membership
but that is not the reason I did not get the Kindle, i just did not think it was the right reader for me and i did not want to be stuck with a non-standard format that only one company supports.
It is like the days when digital audio players had their own system, until MP3 became the norm, apart from Apple which still uses their own format.
Digital Audio Players have supported MP3 since day 1. Infact the first ones such as the Diamond Rio or JazPiper (Which I still have somewhere) only played MP3's. And when DRM came in pretty much all the none Apple devices were using WMA
Apples format succeeded where WMA failed because the world and his wife weren't using it. It was a format for a company that had a good userbase already for other products and that got in there first with desirable hardware and a store to sell content. Everyone responded with either hardware that missed the mark or with a content store that wasn't as good and as they were all sharing the same file format when one product failed and people lost their purchases it damaged them all. It was only because Apple started negotiating deals to drop DRM on its format which led to Amazon being able to do deals to sell MP3's (which can't be DRM'd) that saved the non-apple digital audio market
And Amazon with ebooks are in the Apple position. Only difference is I could maybe see Amazon at some point licencing their format to other select partners. I fully expect DRM'd ePub to fail at some point when it takes too many knocks. It may just be that everyone moves to DRM Free ePubs but with the size of eBook files i'm sure the publishing industry will be even harder to persuade than the record companies
I don't buy new books to be honest, books I buy are normally a few years old and I only buy when they come down in price.
The difference in pricing is pretty minimal and no doubt I could go on both sites and find some books cheaper on Kobo than Amazon. I have no idea why you seem intent on making out that the Kindle is the better reader and you seem to not like people having other readers.
Not really. Those 3 books alone are £2-3. Its all well and good only paying £30 for a device but read a book a month and you have spent between £24 and £36 extra on books. So for anyone trying to make their mind up thats a major issue to consider, if you are likely to buy a fair few books. And I can't find any evidence that there is any book on Kobos store thats cheaper. Going through their top20 selling books (which is a mixture of old and new, established authors and new self published ones) there wasn't a single one. Theres some that are the same price but from Amazon those 20 books cost £19.03 less so it really is a vital factor in people deciding.
I have no idea why you seem intent on making out that the Kindle is the better reader and you seem to not like people having other readers.
And I haven't been arguing that the Kindle is a better piece of hardware. I have barely commented on the Hardware and even said the Kobo is a good bit of kit. I've been commenting on your attempt (and others) to push this myth that by buying a Kindle you are locked into their eco system when you are no more locked into it than you are locked into any other ereaders eco system.

1st day, one room was ready the other was not ready until later that evening. Then the lady were confused as to what room I was in. 2nd day, one room was service the other was half serviced. I took a picture and went to the front desk, they sent 2 people up, the head housecleaning ask if there was something left on the bed, I told her no. Then she started to insinuate that something was left on the bed that why the room was not serviced. I stormed down to the front desk and told the (sweet) lady I was going to check out a day early. She ask why and I told her. A half hour later the manager of the hotel called our room. I explained to her, she ask me to please stay, I told her I wasn't, going through a family crisis is bad enough but dealing with this made it worst. She then offered me only 5000 point for my HHH rewards. I did agree to this but after I left I was so angry, I think 5000 point is not a good compensation. This was the straw that broke the camels back. There were other small things too, no coffee cups and no creamers, only one towel in one bathroom, we took another from our other room. it just got to be too much for my first time being a HHH member.

Brought to you by
I ordered some pocket diapers to replace/add to my stash of prefolds and covers, and I am so excited!! It's like Christmas waiting for my mail to come!
Exciting! What kind (brand) did you order? Did you get a good deal on them?
I'm new to cloth diapering and my LO is due this month. So excited and looking forward to cloth diapering this time around! I'm sold on Lalabye AI2's (can also be used as pockets) and haven't even had a chance to try them yet. They'll be restocking the end of this week!
I bought 12 sun baby diapers, a MG, a Royal Fluff, and a Bumkins. Prefolds worked well, but now my son is over four months old and he's getting very squiggly :). I can't wait to try out pockets and the patterns are super cute too!
(My daycare only takes disposables, so I also bought a huge pack at SAMs this weekend and I opened one pack to check them out. Womp womp, so pitiful compared to my cute fluffy butt cloth diapers!)
I feel ya! I'm basically stalking the UP guy this week.
Fluff mail is the best! I'm addicted to online shopping haha
This came in the mail today!!! :)
Ackkk!! So cute!! I'm still waiting :( they must be on the slow boat from China.. (No literally, I ordered them from China!!). Only a few more days though for me!
Those long waits are the worst! I remember when I waited like a month for my first round of Sunbabies. I swear I almost kissed the mailman that day. Now every time I get a package he asks me if it's more diapers. I must have made an impression. :)
It's here! It's here!!! Got all diapers except my yellow MG and gator print Bumkins. I luuuuuvvvv the sun baby diapers!! Officially obsessed. These are way cooler than prefolds :)
Here's some booty shots for your viewing pleasure...
I just ordered this print two days ago. I'm over the whole mustache theme, but I thought these were super cute. I can't wait to put them on my little man!
How do you like yours?
That's awesome! I want to order about 12 Sunbabies, but I'm waiting until my LO is big enough to fit them (he's a preemie), since there's only a 90 day warranty on them. I don't want to order them too soon, in case there's a problem with them, ya know?
Those look great! What size are they? How much does your LO weigh?
The owl diaper is the size two sunbaby. He's 4.5 mths and 16 lbs, long and slim. I debated on what size but I'm glad I went with the twos. Snapped on the lowest rise, they fit just perfect.
His rocket ship drawers are a Royal Fluff I got from zulily (one size). It fits well too. I was worried about them being too wide in the crotch but both fit great!
Oh ok thx. My LO is preemie, so he'll be in a size one when I order them.
I used prefolds when my LO was newborn and I really liked them - a perfect fit everytime! I used the jelly roll fold and Rumparoos newborn covers. Here's my handsome devil in his blue one at 3 weeks and at 3 months:
He's adorable!!! Yes, I just ordered some newborn covers to use with my prefolds last wk. I can't wait for them to arrive. I'm also going to order some Lil Joey AIOs. I've read great reviews about how they're great for preemies.
Thank you! Post some pics of your fluffy butt when you can :)

Hi! Alright, so there a few things I would like to address before starting this:
1. This is going to be PHOTO HEAVY.
2. What I mean by two cameras is that Friday I took most of my photos using my 1970's Minolta 35mm with a 50mm lens. The other camera which I used on Saturday, I'm borrowing from Armadillo4 (He's helping me learn a Canon Rebel, so I guess you can say that he's being a mentor!
3. Most of the pictures will be of parades, but I hope you like them. I got inspiration from Armadillo4 and Donald1980, so I would like to thank them for helping me take better pictures
Soooooooo let's begin!
After picking up my friend, Ozzie, at his house, we ventured our way into the oh-so-lovely Mickey and Friends Parking Structure. Since they were repaving one of the tram stops, the lines were super long and we took a nice stroll instead to the front gates. We entered Disneyland at 8:15a.
I noticed Marty Sklar's new window at City Hall and it was so nice. And then I looked down and saw the awesome Disney Tattoo guy admiring the window. His tattoos are AMAZING. Ok, enough talking, here's some walk around photos:
(These are film photos)
Fantasyland was calling our name, so we decided to head there and ride some rides.
We went on Peter Pan, Snow White's Scary Adventure, Pinocchio's Daring Journey, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and then we went on Casey Jr (My favorite ride of that land).
Ozzie wanted to go get some pins, so we went to Little Green Men.
Being the patient person I am, I waited for him and then we went over to DCA so I can get photos for High School Musical.
A little blurry, but I like it!
Haha they couldn't get someone from the audience to come up in time, so they used one of the performers. It was funny.
Coming up, the noon meet, Hub photos, CASP and much more!

Loving life!
I'm loving life in Colorado. I try to stay active doing something year round but I suppose most people do here. I love doing things with large groups of people but also need my one on one time with my closer friends. I do a wide variety of things from playing sports to checking out film on the rocks. I like to play sports and do things that allow me to be active and social. I play ultimate frisbee year round and during the winter I play indoor soccer and broomball. I'm hoping to do as much traveling as I can in the next few years. Recently I went to Costa Rica and it was amazing! I headed to Bali last year and next is Peru this May! In the future I hope to see the Maldives, Thailand, and Fiji. Ok, enough about myself. Let's talk about what I'm looking for. I find that I am attracted to people that are responsible enough to get their stuff done but also know how to really let loose and have a good time. Not fond of the extremes in either case. I would like to find someone that the conversation would flow with. I love it when I can talk to someone about something important or nothing and feel at ease. Most of all I'm looking for someone who will be honest,open, and willing to have a good time.
Camping , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Wine tasting
Aerobics, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Dancing, Other types of exercise, Running, Soccer, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Truthfully I love movies. I really enjoy things like the drive-in and comedy works. Being able to goof around. A great moment in a sport. Most of all my favorite thing is finding people that I can have a good time with no matter what we are doing.
I love to play around outdoors. This includes sports, white water rafting, camping, or just throwing a frisbee around.

I am a Norwegian jazz pianist and future software engineer, currently studying at the Technical University of Denmark. I'm open minded, easily fascinated, and I really enjoy learning new things and meeting new people. I love new ideas and concepts, and I'm always up for a good discussion about pretty much anything.
I moved to Lyngby (just outside of Copenhagen) a year and a half ago, and I've been pretty busy with school, so I haven't really gotten to know Copenhagen all that much yet. So, I figure it's about time I go exploring, and I'd love to do it with a visiting couchsurfer!
I've been couchsurfing for quite years now, and I've met so many great people through the project. It has really made all my travels so much more memorable, thanks so much guys! I haven't been hosting nearly enough, but I'm trying to do something about that now.
I really enjoy both listening to and performing music. I listen to all kinds of different genres, though I tend to focus mainly on jazz and classical music. Lately however, I've become fascinated by various forms of electronic music.
My other interests include technology, politics, futurism, computers, languages, science, movies, video games, food, good wine and beer, and of course traveling.
Some of the musicians/composers/bands who have meant the most to me:
Bill Evans, Olivier Messiaen, Teddy Wilson, Atomic, Keith Jarrett, Johann Sebastian Bach, Lennie Tristano, Claude Debussy, Herbie Hancock, Paul Hindemith, Art Tatum, Jamiroquai, Esbjørn Svensson, Elephant9, Brad Mehldau, Stevie Wonder, Chick Corea, Oscar Peterson, Jojo Mayer
Some of my favourite movies:
Groundhog Day, Brazil, Gosford Park, Lost in Translation, Star Wars, LOTR, The Millenium Trilogy, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Shawshank Redemption, Inglorious Basterds,
Some of my favourite video games:
Baldur's Gate 2, The Longest Journey, GTA: Vice City, Mass Effect, Diablo 2, Final Fantasy VI-IX, Heroes of Might and Magic III, Gone Home
Accompanied Ethiopian circus artists (and and amongst them, a 8 year old child being thrown with variable success through burning rings) with fully improvised jolly circus music, trying to look happy and not too concerned, in front of an audience of thousands of people in Maputo, Mozambique.
I guess I could teach you some piano, music theory, computer stuff or some Norwegian or Japanese, if you're interested.

Updated 08/12/2012
Perched on a cliff overlooking the mouth of the Chagres River are the ruins of the ancient Spanish Fuerte San Lorenzo, destroyed by pirate Henry Morgan in 1671 and rebuilt shortly after, then bombarded a century later. The Spaniards built Fort San Lorenzo in 1595 in an effort to protect the South American gold they were shipping down the Chagres River, which was first carried along the Camino de Cruces from Panamá Viejo. The gold was then shipped up the coast to the fortified city of Portobelo, where it was stored until the Spanish armada arrived to carry it to Spain. The fortress's commanding position and abundant cannons weren't enough of a deterrent for Morgan, whose men managed to shoot flaming arrows into the fort, causing a fire that set off stored gunpowder and forced the Spanish troops to surrender. Morgan then led his men up the river and across the isthmus to sack Panamá Viejo.
In the 1980s UNESCO restored the fort to its current condition, which is pretty sparse—it
hardly compares to the extensive colonial ruins of Portobelo. Nevertheless, the setting is gorgeous, and the view from that promontory of the blue-green Caribbean, the coast, and the vast jungle behind it is breathtaking. Be careful walking around the edge outside the fort; there are some treacherous precipices, and guardrails are almost nonexistent. One visitor did have a fatal fall several years ago.

GREENFIELD — Three years removed from a political scandal that shook her family to the core, Jeannine Gray is doing something a number of political observers didn't expect: She's running for office.
The launch of her own political career, she says, has less to do with reclaiming reputation and more to do with something a strong and independent woman is supposed to do.
"Now is the time," she says of her candidacy for a county council seat.
