Thank you for using the website, domain name registration, and related services ("Services"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern all use of the Services. "You" and "your" refer to you and the registrant listed in the WHOIS contact information for each domain name. "Pheenix" refers to Pheenix, Inc. and any associated registrars, any of which will be the registrar for your domain name and all of which share common ownership and Terms and a shared infrastructure. REVIEW THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE SERVICES. By using the Services, you agree to all Terms, including arbitration, the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), and any rules, policies, or agreements regarding specific Services and/or which may be adopted or enforced by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ("ICANN"), any registry, or governments.
By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you (1) have read and understood, and agree to be bound by, these Terms; and (2) are at least 18 years old and legally qualified to enter into contracts. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND THESE TERMS, DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THEM, OR ARE NOT LEGALLY QUALIFIED TO ENTER INTO CONTRACTS, YOU MUST IMMEDIATELY CEASE USING THE SERVICES.
- Other Policies
You represent that you have read and understood, and agree to, Pheenix's separate Privacy Policy. Pheenix may collect and disclose your information as outlined in the Privacy Policy, including to (a) take action regarding prohibited conduct; (b) enforce or apply these Terms; (c) comply with legal process, court order, or government inquiry; or (d) protect the rights, reputation, or property of itself, its users, or the public. These Terms may change over time, including through updates in the Terms or applicable law. These Terms may also be supplemented by additional policies, agreements, guidelines, rules, and summaries, including ICANN's consensus policies, the UDRP Rules and Supplemental Rules, and ICANN's summary of terms. Your use of the Services constitutes binding acceptance of all terms and changes. These Terms do not create any agency, partnership, or other joint enterprise with Pheenix.
- Accounts
You may be required to set up a Pheenix Account to use the Services. You represent that all information provided is true and accurate and, if you provide information about a third party, you provided any requisite notice and have requisite express consent. Pheenix may conduct security checks, which may require you to provide a government-issued photo ID, "selfie" photo, and other information. You are solely responsible for maintaining, securing, updating, and keeping strictly confidential all login IDs and passwords, and for all use of your Account. You are not authorized to share login IDs or passwords, and intentionally evading security measures and/or use of the Services to compete with Pheenix shall be a material breach of these Terms. Pheenix shall not be liable for any loss incurred by you or a third party relating to your Account.
You agree to provide and maintain complete and accurate information of the WHOIS Record and all the data elements relating to your domain name(s), and to update them within seven (7) days of any change during the Services term, including: full name, postal address, email address, telephone number, fax number if available, and name of contact if the Registered Name Holder is an entity. You agree that provision of inaccurate or unreliable information, and/or your failure to promptly update information or respond to inquiries is a breach of these Terms and a basis for suspending or terminating the Services. If you intend to license use of a domain name to a third party or privacy/proxy service, you are still the Registered Name Holder and must provide: (1) the domain name's complete contact information; and (2) technical and administrative contact information to facilitate timely resolution of any issues.
If you license use of the registered domain name, you shall accept liability for any harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name, unless you disclose the current contact information provided by the licensee and the identity of the licensee within seven (7) days to a party providing the registrant reasonable evidence of harm. You may provide information regarding the nameservers assigned to your domain name(s) and, if Pheenix provides nameserver services, the DNS settings for the domain name. If you do not provide complete nameserver information, or if you purchase "Name Only" Services, Pheenix may supply this information (and point your domain name to a website of its choosing) until such time as you elect to supply the nameserver information or upgrade from "Name Only" Services. Pheenix may also monetize the traffic, and you will not be entitled to any revenue share. You may become a Verified Account Holder by providing a true and correct copy of your driver's license, government photo identification, passport, social security number, utility bill with residential address, and/or a notarized affidavit verifying your identity. Pheenix may also require video authentication. Based upon a review of the requested materials, Pheenix, in its sole discretion, will determine your eligibility as a Verified Account Holder. You are responsible for all fees and costs associated with unauthorized access to your Account and domain names, regardless of the result.
- Services
General. While some processes may occur in an auction style format or operate with the label "Auction" or "Online Auction", Pheenix is not an auctioneer, auction house, or an escrow agent. It is your sole responsibility to know whether or not the domain name(s) you select or use or allow others to use infringe legal rights of others. Pheenix might be ordered by a court or arbitrator to cancel, modify, or transfer your domain name; it is your sole responsibility to list accurate contact information in association with your Account and to communicate with litigants, third parties, and governmental authorities. Pheenix will not delay implementation of a UDRP Panel decision based solely on your informing Pheenix that you intend to contest the decision; however, Pheenix may delay implementation upon receiving a file-stamped copy of a complaint in federal court contesting the decision.
Domain Name Registration. Pheenix has accredited registrars with ICANN for generic Top Level Domain Names ("gTLDs") (such as .com, .net, .org, etc.) and a variety of country code Top Level Domains ("ccTLDs") (such as .co.uk, .de, etc.). Domain name registrations are not effective until the registry administrator puts them into effect and are only for limited terms that end on the expiration date. For domain names that are created as a new registration out of the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the domain name registration is acknowledged by the applicable registry. For domain name registrations that were not returned to the pool of available domain names, the term begins on the date the previous registrant's domain name registration was acknowledged by the applicable registry. You expressly waive all property interests, if any, in any domain name(s) that you may register with Pheenix.
Domain Name Marketplace. Pheenix provides a venue for notifying third parties of the availability of currently-registered, recently-expired, or recently-released domain names for sale. If you have an Account, you may use the Domain Name Marketplace for available domain names ("Listing Transaction") by (a) placing a listing in the Domain Name Marketplace as a seller on behalf of yourself or a third party ("Seller"); (b) purchasing a domain name vis-a-vis the Marketplace on behalf of yourself or a third party ("Buyer"); or (c) participating in communications and/or negotiations for the sale or purchase of a domain name in the Domain Name Marketplace, whether or not such activities result in a sale. By participating in a Listing Transaction, you agree to abide by these Terms and to pay all fees. You are solely responsible and liable for any domains placed into the Domain Name Marketplace from your Account, whether such placement is intentional or not. By placing a listing, you represent and warrant that: (1) You have all rights, titles, and interests in the domain name as necessary to complete the Listing Transaction; (2) the domain name does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of any third party; (3) you are able to transfer the domain name in accordance with these Terms; and (4) the domain name is not currently, and will not in the reasonably foreseeable future be, the subject of a UDRP dispute, administrative proceeding, or any criminal or civil litigation of any kind. Transfer of the domain name to the Buyer's Account may be completed before Pheenix receives payment; transfer by Pheenix is done without warranty. If you buy a domain name by participating in a Listing Transaction ("Domain Sale"), a "buy" lock will be placed on the domain name for ninety (90) days, which prohibits transfer of the domain name to another Account or another registrar, and if you sell a domain name by participating in a Domain Sale, you will receive payment for the domain name in the form of Account credit, minus any transaction fees. Pheenix, in its sole and final decision, without liability to you or any third party, may suspend, delete, cancel, interrupt, reverse, or otherwise undo a Domain Sale by reversing payment, deleting Account credit, moving a domain name back into a Seller's Account or into a separate holding Account, or by taking any other action it deems necessary in its sole discretion, in the event of dispute, fraud, abuse, mistake, error, or any other circumstances warranting such action. Pheenix has no control over and cannot transfer possession of any service, product, property, intellectual property, or anything else other than a domain name. Sellers may withdraw listings at any time for any reason unless the domain name is in auction. Listings may terminate if a domain name is disabled, suspended, or removed from the Seller's customer Account. The term of registration is whatever period remains on the Seller's initial registration term at the time of the Listing Transaction. You may extend the domain name registration term by renewing the domain. Pheenix does not participate in any disputes concerning or arising out of a Listing Transaction or Domain Sale. Pheenix and its partners, subsidiaries, and affiliate companies may place bids on domain name listings in the Domain Name Marketplace and/or Auctions, either to meet a reserve price or to purchase a domain name directly and may indicate Pheenix association with an asterisk ("*") next to the bidder name. Pheenix may also sell domains on Pheenix's platform.
Domain Name Backordering. Pheenix provides a venue for third-parties to request a backorder for currently registered domain names. There is no initial fee for placing a backorder request. If a backordered domain name that is sought via the Services becomes available for public registration, Pheenix will make reasonable efforts to acquire the domain name and register it through its own registrar, or one of its registrar partners, on your behalf. Pheenix does not and cannot guarantee acquisition of any domain name, nor at which registrar the domain will be registered. Duration of the initial domain name registration term may vary and will typically be one (1) year from the date of acquisition or expiration as listed in the WHOIS. Information about the status of a domain name is offered on a reasonable basis and should not be relied upon as real-time information. You should perform a WHOIS look-up prior to placing any order. Unless you specify namservers that should be assigned to the ordered domain name upon registration, Pheenix may direct the domain name to nameservers and IP addresses designated by Pheenix. Valid payment must be received within forty-eight (48) hours from the date of the selected domain name's registration ("Payment Deadline") or else is a material breach. If there are two or more backorder requests by multiple parties for the same domain name, a public auction will commence immediately after Pheenix obtains the registration rights. Pheenix may automatically increase your bid through a Proxy Bid so that you remain the high bidder up to your "maximum amount." All Proxy Bids are final and irreversible, and you may not lower your maximum amount or cancel the Proxy Bid, except under extenuating circumstances as determined by Pheenix. If more than one bidder specifies identical maximum amounts, the bid processed earlier in time prevails. Pheenix may set a reserve price for any domain name. If the parties do not place an offer that meets the reserve price, or if the first place winner does not meet the Payment Deadline, Pheenix may choose what to do with the domain name, including selling, retaining, deleting, or disposing of it as Pheenix sees fit in its sole discretion. There is also a Public Auction Fee. All domain sales are final, irreversible, non-refundable, and ineligible for Account credit. Not all domain extensions are available for backordering. Customers may place a Gold Backorder or a Super Saver Backorder; a Gold Backorder will be given priority. Pheenix and its partners, subsidiaries, and affiliate companies may place a backorder on any domain name. Pheenix may offer pre-purchased backorder credits at a discount that are automatically applied to your Account if the backorder request is successful; backorder credits are non-refundable, non-transferable, only applicable for one Account, prospective, and must be pre-paid.
Pheenix Points. You can accumulate Pheenix Points for every dollar ($) that you spend on a one-to-one basis and rounded up. Pheenix Points do not necessarily equate to the same purchasing power as dollars, and the purchasing power of one Pheenix Point may fluctuate. You have no property rights in Pheenix Points, and they have no monetary value and cannot be redeemed for cash. They are non-refundable, non-transferable, and only apply for one Account.
WHOIS Privacy Protection. Pheenix offers WHOIS privacy protection services via WHOISPrivacyShield.org . You agree to these Terms as well as the terms and conditions of WHOISPrivacyShield.org located at http://whoisprivacyshield.org/terms-and-conditions/.

- The .DE Registry Operator requires that the domain name has two active name servers, which must be active at the time of registration, and which must be on different subnets (i.e., different class-C networks). If you cannot provide two active name servers at the time of registration, your order may still process and complete, however there will be a 30-day window in which you must update your name servers. If you fail to do so within this time frame, the .DE Registry Operator will delete the domain name, and refunds will not be given. The name servers associated with the domain name at the time of the order cannot be changed during the 30-day window.
c. .EU Registration Requirements

- Please note that the .FR Registry does not require documentary proof of the above information at the time of registration, but if requested you will need to provide documentary proof within two weeks of the domain being registered; failure to do so could result in your domain names(s) being cancelled.
- For companies, either a valid Trademark or SIREN/SIRET number is required.
e. .IT Registration Requirements
- .IT domain name registration requires that the administrative contact be a resident of a European Union member state.

- Registering a domain name solely for the purposes of (1) selling, trading or leasing the domain name for compensation, or (2) the unsolicited offering to sell, trade or lease the domain name for compensation shall not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of that domain name. For illustration purposes, the following shall not constitute a "bona fide business or commercial use" of a domain name:
- Renewal Grace Period. If you fail to renew the expired domain name prior to its expiration date, Pheenix provides a Renewal Grace Period of thirty (30) days from the expiration date where the expired domain name registration may be renewed. During the Renewal Grace Period, you may renew the expired domain name for a renewal fee plus any registration fees that may also be due. Our current list of fees can be found at https://www.pheenix.com/fees.php. You assume all risks and all consequences if you wait until close to or after the expiration of the original term of domain name registration services to attempt to renew the domain name registration services. The Renewal Grace Period is subject to change under the terms of this Agreement.
- After the Renewal Grace Period, if you have not exercised your rights under the provisions of Paragraph 10(a), you have abandoned the domain name services, and relinquish all interests and use of the expired domain name. At this time, we may delete the expired domain name, transfer the expired domain name to any third-party, sell the expired domain name, auction the expired domain name, refuse to restore the expired domain name to you, and otherwise exercise complete authority, ownership, control, and use of the expired domain name.
- Redemption Grace Period. If we delete the expired domain name, the registry may provide a thirty (30) day Redemption Grace Period during which you may pay us a redemption fee and redeem the expired domain name.

Transfers. Transfer of your domain name(s) services shall be governed by ICANN's transfer policy, available at http://www.icann.org/transfers/, including the Registrar Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy, available at http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/dispute-policy-12jul04.htm, as well as the UDRP. To transfer your domain name(s) you should first login to your Account to lock or unlock your domain name(s) and/or to obtain the EPP "AuthCode" required to transfer domain services in an EPP registry (such as .org). Only the registrant and the administrative contact listed in the WHOIS information may approve or deny a transfer request. Domain name services may not be transferred within sixty (60) days of initial registration or transfer, if there is a dispute regarding the identity of the domain name registrant, if you are bankrupt, or if you fail to pay any fees. Transfer requests typically take five (5) business days to be processed. A transfer will not be processed if, during this time, the domain name registration services expire. You may be required to resubmit a transfer request if there is a communication failure or other problem at either our end or at the registry. YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR FAILURE OF A TRANSFER WHETHER OR NOT THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS INITIATED CLOSE TO THE END OF A REGISTRATION TERM. Pheenix may, but is not required to, place a "Registrar Lock" on your domain name services to prevent your domain name services from being transferred without your authorization. By allowing your domain name services to remain locked, you provide express objection to any and all transfer requests until the lock is removed.

- Charges
Winning bids and backorders create a binding contract to purchase a domain name. You agree to pre-pay all applicable and non-refundable fees for the Services by payment methods accepted by Pheenix. You are responsible for paying all fees associated with using the Services and all applicable taxes. For domain sales through Pheenix's landing pages where a 30 day money back guarantee is explicitly stated, Pheenix offers a thirty (30) day money back guarantee per user, provided you provide proof of payment; however, repeat unsubstantiated requests for refunds are a material breach of these Terms, which Pheenix is not required to accept. There are no refunds for any other types of purchases, including domain auctions, renewals, registrations, and backorders. You may be asked to supply certain billing information for your use of the Services, including your credit card information, billing address, and shipping information. You represent and warrant that: (1) you have the legal right to use the payment information provided, and (2) the information you provide is true, correct, and complete. Pheenix may use third parties for facilitating payment, and you grant Pheenix the right to provide your information to those third parties. If your usage of the Services exceeds the amount you deposited, there is a chargeback, or you fail to pay the amounts due, Pheenix will be entitled to suspend/terminate the Services, including your Account, in its sole discretion. Pheenix will not have any liability whatsoever for any damage, liabilities, losses (including any loss of data or profits) or any other consequences that you may incur with respect to any suspension/termination. Pheenix reserves the right to void any domain name purchase within thirty (30) days after a purchase transaction, if, at the sole discretion of Pheenix, Pheenix determines the purchase price was incorrect, inaccurate, or otherwise erroneously offered or mispriced. Pheenix may allow you to pay in installments under a payment plan or allow you to pay a reinstatement fee; if you fail to make timely payments, Pheenix may suspend and lock the domain name and charge you interest. Under an installment plan, you do not have any rights in the domain name until you complete all payments due under the plan; however, Pheenix may allow you to use the domain name while you are making payments. If you fail to timely complete all payments under an installment plan, Pheenix will own the domain. You shall maintain records and reminders regarding expiration dates. If you select automatic renewal of the Services, Pheenix may attempt to renew the Services at a reasonable time before expiration, provided your credit card and billing information is available and up to date. It is your responsibility to keep your billing information up to date and Pheenix is not required to, but may, contact you to update this information in the event that an attempted transaction is not processed successfully. For certain TLDs, the automatic renewal option is not available.

Brewed by: Geaghan Brothers Brewing
Purchased: Geaghan's Pub and Brewery
A couple of weeks ago my wife was heading over to Geaghan's for a work function, I asked her to bring along one of my empty "Bangor bottles" for a refill. I heard the Icebreaker was drinking really nice over there and after receiving multiple requests for a review it was perfect timing.
Icebreaker pours a dark amber color with red highlights and a short off white head.
This was a very pleasant smelling beer with toffee sweetness and hints of spice; cinnamon and nutmeg are what I pick up.
Icebreaker was a really nice drinking beer, not as sweet as I expected from the smell but a toasted malt flavor with a really subtle spice that doesn't linger. The alcohol adds a little heat without being boozy. This beer has a light to medium body and finished clean and dry.
Overall a really nice winter seasonal, it's not too heavy or overly spiced but carrying enough ABV to warm you up on a cool winter evening. Head down to Geaghan's for a pint or a growler to go before this one's gone and check out the other Geaghan Brothers offerings I've reviewed.

Where'd I Go Just Now: Vidiot Game
I… I don't… Um. OK, let me start again. Vidiot Game is far-and-away the strangest thing I've ever played. It's kind of like Nintendo's madcap WarioWare series I guess, but things just happen and the floating face asks me all these questions and I fuse with bees to gain their powers and I killed a space-time void with a backflip. Also, a three question multiple choice prompt randomly asked me where I was from, and the one non-fictional option was my actual, incredibly obscure hometown. So I'm pretty sure Vidiot Game is also magic. It's a giddy, nonsensical trip through utter silliness that probably counts as a hallucinogenic drug in whatever terrifying rainbow moon dimension it's from, but I couldn't stop. Also, it's free! So try it and uh… I… words and stuff. Thanks, Free Indie Games. I think.

I want to install older version of VLC (1.1.9) because of the sound bug in 2.* which makes it unusable (sound is distorted when the user sets the volume > 100% and then you can't fix it anymore). I've googled about the bug and found out that it's being fixed, but I don't want to install 2.0.4, because it's still a nightly build. The 2.0.3 version (in repos) has this bug.
I tried with Synaptic -> removed vlc 2.0.3 -> right_clicked vlc package -> Properties -> Versions, but there are no older versions. I've found official source (.tar.gz) but I don't want to compile it myself. I can't find any .deb files.
So how do I do this?

Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian near the illegal Beit Hadassah settlement in Hebron in the second alleged stabbing attack in the city on Thursday.
The Israeli army said in an initial report that a "Palestinian assailant" attempted to stab an Israeli soldier "at a security post in Hebron" before being shot on site.No Israeli injuries have been reported.
The Palestinian was identified as Farouk Abdel Qader Omar Sidr, 19, from Hebron.
However, witnesses told Ma'an News that Sidr did not appear to have anything in his hands when he was shot.
Earlier this morning, Israeli forces shot a 23-year-old Palestinian near Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron this morning, after he allegedly attempted to stab a soldier.
An eyewitnesses told Ma'an News that an Israeli soldier shot the Palestinian in the shoulder and the head, before dropping a knife near his body.
An IDF statement said a Palestinian attacked and stabbed an Israeli soldier near Ibrahimi mosque, known to Jews as the Tomb of the Patriarchs, and "forces responded and shot the attacker."
Yesterday, Israeli forces shot and killed 23-year-old Rafiq Hammad Ibeido, after he allegedly carried out a stabbing attack near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Abrab in Hebron.
According to Ma'an News, witness claimed the man was shot with eleven live bullets and left to bleed to death. Witnesses added that a knife was place in his hand after he was shot.
Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld also said that a "Palestinian terrorist" was shot and killed, adding that "security measures" were continuing in the area.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the West Bank said in a statement that Israeli forces prevented ambulances from reaching Ibeido.
Since the beginning of this month 62 Palestinians have been killed, as violent clashes continue across the West Bank, East Jerusalem and GAza.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Zeid Raad Al Hussein said on Wednesday that the latest wave of violence was "dangerous in the extreme".
"The violence between Palestinians and the Israelis will draw us ever closer to a catastrophe if not stopped immediately," he said.

ATLANTA — Like the other American who volunteered to help others in Africa and ended up with Ebola, Nancy Writebol is driven first and foremost by her fervent faith.
Still, that doesn't mean she doesn't need — or deserve — a pick-me-up.
So, after arriving at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital from Liberia, Nancy Writebol asked for — and received — coffee from Starbucks. That was a definite plus about being back in her home country, though her husband acknowledges she has a long way to go to beat the deadly disease.
"I don't believe we can say she is in the clear, (but) she is in very good hands," her husband, David Writebol, said Friday. "… I am praying like never before."
On the same day he spoke about his wife's illness, the other infected American, who is being treated at the same Atlanta hospital, spoke publicly for the first time.
Dr. Kent Brantly said in a statement that he is receiving "the very best care possible" and "growing stronger every day."
Brantly and the Writebols talked about what led them to Liberia, where they thrust themselves into the midst of poverty and disease with a mission focusing on those in need. They also spoke about their struggles now to overcome Ebola.
Brantly, 33, went to Liberia with his wife and two children last year to serve a two-year fellowship through a Samaritan's Purse post-residency program to practice general medicine.
But everything changed when Ebola started to sweep through West Africa. Brantly got a new role as medical director for the Samaritan's Purse Ebola Consolidated Case Management Center in Monrovia.
"I held the hands of countless individuals as this terrible disease took their lives away from them," he said Friday. "I witnessed the horror firsthand and I can still remember every face and name."
It was in Monrovia where Brantly said he "immediately isolated" himself after first feeling ill. Three days later, his Ebola diagnosis was confirmed, though it didn't trigger the emotional response one might expect.
"When the result was positive, I remember a deep sense of peace that was beyond all understanding," he said. "God was reminding me of what he had taught me years ago, that he will give me everything I need to be faithful to him."
Two weeks after that diagnosis, Brantly said, "My focus … remains the same — to follow God."
That strong Christian faith also echoed throughout David Writebol's comments about his wife.
Married for 40 years, the Writebols have traveled the globe focused on their faith and their desire to help others.
They are an ocean apart now, though plans are in the works to bring David Writebol from Liberia to be with his wife in Atlanta. When they do reunite, David said, "I would give her a kiss. Hold her."
After that, the couple wouldn't necessarily go back to the comforts of America and more coffee from Starbucks. Ebola might have derailed them, but it hasn't changed their purpose in life.
"We aren't going to stop our ministry," David Writebol said. "We believe we can serve wherever God sends us."

Seattle's outfield grows weaker with another injury
SEATTLE -- The Mariners' ongoing struggle with injuries took a turn for the worse on Saturday, when recent callup Dustin Ackley sprained his left thumb while trying to dive for a ball in center field. Ackley recently transitioned from second base to the outfield and started just his second game in center.
With all the injuries, Seattle was forced to use pitcher Joe Saunders as a batter in the 11th inning of the Mariners' 5-3 loss to the Cubs. Outfielders Michael Morse and Franklin Gutierrez are each on the disabled list, while Michael Saunders also has an injured thumb.
Saunders was used as a pinch-runner on Saturday, which manager Eric Wedge said is all Saunders can handle right now. Saunders' thumb was injured on Friday, when Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo stepped on it when the outfielder dove back to the bag on a pickoff attempt.
"He couldn't hit, he couldn't do anything else, so we're hoping that he's going to come in and feel better," Wedge said. "Hopefully, he's available to us in some capacity tomorrow."
While Ackley will likely have to undergo X-rays, Wedge said that the converted outfielder should be ready to play soon.
"I think all things considered, we're going to be OK," Wedge said. "Sprained thumb, it'll probably be a couple days. We'll just have to see how he feels when he comes in tomorrow."
In the meantime, Endy Chavez will play center field for Seattle, with Jason Bay backing him up.

Photo taken from Chaperone's Facebook page.
Note: These short reviews of local bands originally appeared in the Around Hear column of the Illinois Entertainer.
The Boolevards recapture the innocence of early 1960s music on their latest CD, More Real Pop with melodic songs like "Little Miss Impossible" and "She's The One." The Beach Boys style harmonies and chiming guitars are rendered perfectly, but at times the band seemed locked into derivative, similar sounding arrangements. A little more variation could go a long way toward helping The Boolevards forge their own identity.
Chaperone recorded the five tracks for its latest release, Cripple King at various locations while on tour, which gives the band's indie/Americana music an appealing live performance vibe. On melodic songs like "Fed On Coal" and "Thomas," Chaperone creates vintage folk with a shot of adrenaline, and the spirited male-female vocal interplay in consistently inventive.
The Paver blends spoken word cryptic poetry and chaotic music on its self-titled CD, creating the ambience of an avant garde theater performance. "Worthless" is the closest this bass, violin/synth, and drums group comes to an actual song, while "Softest Fortress" sounds like a sci-fi audio book that comes with its own soundtrack. Fans of adventurous music will find The Paver intriguing, but it's not likely anyone but the band members will know what's actually going on.

Cleanup begins in Waukesha County
Highway officials advise motorists to drive slow on slick roads
The cleanup operations began in Waukesha County on Thursday after rain and snow hit the state, leaving thousands of people without power.
WE Energies said about 2,900 customers are in the dark in Waukesha County, while more than 2,300 outages were reported in Sheboygan County. In Jefferson County, more than 2,100 were left without power, with 1,600 in Milwaukee County and close to 1,700 outages in Washington County had outages.
While it rained farther east, authorities said it snowed so hard in western Waukesha and Jefferson counties, prompting the National Guard to stage in Oconomowoc.
"We're staged in order to respond to any type of emergencies that the state called us up. We're here as a response force if the civilian law enforcement and others get overwhelmed," said Lt. Brad Beyer, of the Wisconsin National Guard. "(There are) some things we deal with, such as search and rescue, welfare checks, things of that nature."
The National Guard hasn't been called on yet, even though some residents are preparing in Hartland, where Jean Shonkwiler is toiling away.
"I wasn't quite ready. I'm not a snow person. This is my third time today," said Shonkwiler. "It's very heavy. It's a good workout, though."
The salt and plow crews in Waukesha County expect to be at it well into the night.
"It's rough-going, a lot of blowing, a lot of drifting, (we have to) go slow. (There's) a lot of wet, slushy spots, some slick areas, but we're keeping a handle on it," said Dan Moudry, of the Waukesha County Highway Department. "Just go slow, take your time, yield to the plow trucks. Take your time, you'll get where you're going, and you'll get there safe."

Futures are mostly flat this morning, dollar up. Here's a snapshot of the overnight action:
Ford reported a smaller loss than expected, "only" $638 million. Now, losing 2/3rds of a billion dollars in one quarter might sound bad to you and me, but evidently to the people on CNN it's a terrific thing and the opening line there is that Ford reported a profit! The profit, of course, is net minus one time "special" charges. This is the latest gimmic to give the marketing and media something to spin, and it's ridiculous in that it is feeding the economic mass psychosis. Ford stock jumped 11% on its report. Ebay also jumped as they beat estimates with higher earnings – another trend this earnings season is that profits at companies that were aggressive with cost cutting are producing better results despite year over year sales shortfalls. My question would be, what will happen to earnings going forward when sales do not bounce back and the easy cost cutting has taken place? We're going to find out.
Weekly jobless claims rose to 554,000 last week, up from the revised higher 522,000 the week before. Here's Econoday's report:
Initial jobless claims rose 30,000 in the July 18 to a slightly lower-than-expected 554,000 (prior week revised slightly higher from 522,000). Initial claims swung lower in prior weeks and now appear on their way higher as seasonal adjustment problems unwind, problems tied to earlier-than-usual summer layoffs in the manufacturing sector specifically in the auto sector. The Labor Department told Market News International that claims should return to trend line in the next few weeks, a warning hinting at 600,000 levels once again. Continuing claims fell for a second straight week, down 88,000 in the July 11 week to 6.225 million. Continuing claims have also been affected by adjustment problems and also, unfortunately, by workers exhausting their benefits. Market reaction was very limited though the dollar did weaken slightly while commodities firmed, reaction consistent with an increased appetite for risk.
Well, at least they are acknowledging that workers are dropping off the far end of their benefits. But please read Point's recap in the comments below for a dose of number reality!
Total UC benefits filings for July 4 (the latest week for which complete data is available) again climbed over the 900k mark, to (yet another) new high-water mark of 941k. This includes 581k initial and 360k extended claims.
Total UC recipients for July 4 reached (yet another) record high, just over 8.8 million, an increase of 200k over the prior week. This included 6.174m receiving regular benefits and (yet another) record number of Amerikkkans collecting extended benefits, 2.632m.
Twenty-three (23) states reported week-over-week initial claims increases of at least 1,000, with 12 states coming in over 4,000 and three with 10,000-plus. New York led the way with 12,500 new claims, while both North Carolina and Florida came in just north or 10,000.

Existing home sales come out at 10 Eastern and tomorrow we get the consumer sentiment reading.
From a technical perspective, the market is extremely overbought. Yesterday the SPX did manage to put in an intraday new high by reaching 959 which is just below the very powerful 961 pivot. The Transports tried, but failed to put in a new high and thus we have yet another short term potential for a Dow Theory non-confirmation.
Since both the DOW and S&P have made a new high, it is a done deal that wave b down of B up is over. Again, it's also the first time in this bear market that a standard Head and Shoulders pattern has failed. Still, I believe we're primed to see some pullback especially if the 961 pivot holds, and I think it likely will for now, depending, of course, on what the Goldman computer programs desire!
Oh, did I say something bad about the kind and generous Goldman Sachs people? Why they are so kind to live up to their word and to redeem their toxic warrants at the full price that they were lent… of course that was spun to full effect and the mainstream media is attempting to paint them like they are doing the taxpayers a favor. You have to give their spin machine credit, what they deserve is to be behind bars, certainly not lauded.

Gore Verbinski, best known for directing the first three "Pirates of the Caribbean" films, has earned the right to do make a film for himself--the result is "Rango," the story of a chameleon suffering an existential crisis. It's also pretty clearly about Verbinski's own identity crisis.
The film begs, borrows and steals from "Chinatown," "Fear and Loathing" and "Apocalypse Now" among other classics, in telling the story of Rango. When we first meet the lizard, he's staging a Shakespearean tragedy, directing and acting alongside a plastic palm tree, a wind-up toy fish, a dead bug and a Barbie torso with one arm and no head.
After "discussing" the scene with his cast mates, Rango realizes that his character lacks shape, definition, there's a lack of tension in his life. Just as this epiphany is taking shape, a near-death experience strands Rango in the middle of the desert, he must head off into the horizon in search of water. He soon comes across a town called Dirt, where he quickly becomes sheriff entirely by accident, and the locals demand he find out what's happened to their water supply.
Verbinski's first hit was his remake of "The Ring," after which he did his first "Pirates" film before doing "Weather Man," and then returning to the "Pirates" for his next two features, before walking away from the franchise. Watching Rango, Verbinski clearly felt the need to bust out of the rut in hopes of finding his own voice. "Rango" has allowed him to tackle about six different genres, and he deftly handles each shift in action and tone, whether it's an "High Noon" showdown or a dogfight.
In directing the action for "Rango," Verbinski did something revolutionary for the animated film genre: he had his actors play out the scenes with one another, rather than read their lines from the isolation of a sound booth, and had his animators draw scenes off the actors' movements. Working this way not only got Verbinski better performances from his actors, it also allowed him to maximize his cast's talents—you can see the Johnny Depp's physicality comes through as Rango moves about.

"Rango" is a funny and inventive adventure, ranking as one of the more entertaining attempts by an artist to work through a personal crisis. Oh, and it has a great cameo from one of the most iconic heroes in movie history.
