Thank you for all the supportive emails, they mean a lot to me and I'm enjoying hearing everyone's thoughts and feelings on the new service. I apologize if I haven't been able to get back to you right away, it was a bit of a flood.
I know some of you are disappointed that the new Muxtape won't fill the void of the old, but I think a crippled version of what it once was would be far more disappointing. When it launches, the new site is going to be more interesting for bands initially than it is for casual listeners, but that will change rapidly as more music is added to the site. I want to start with bands and get it right for them first, and then start rebuilding the familiar playlist functionality as a layer rather than the foundation.
Ultimately, I think the new Muxtape will be a better web site. It certainly has more room to grow in more interesting ways.

This is a particularly meaningful acceptance for me because my mother and father met at Colorado State University in the mid to late 1920's. At that time I believe it was called Colorado State Normal School. Both had fond memories of Ft. Collins and of their college life there, so for my works to visit Ft. Collins it is, indeed, a fine moment for me.
These are the works that will be on exhibit in the Poudre River Gallery show.


text: >>Political Icon Struggling With ALS (Chicago, IL) -- One of Illinois' political icons is struggling with Lou Gehrig's disease. Dawn Clarke Nestch revealed the news yesterday, calling it one of her toughest challenges. The disease attacks the nerves in the body and could soon make it difficult for the former state senator and comptroller to walk or even speak. Netsch has been a solid voice in Illinois politics for about four decades. She was the first woman to run for governor on a major party ticket in Illinois back in 1994, the first woman to win a statewide race when she was elected comptroller back in 1990, and has been a go-to person when it comes to deciphering the state's constitution – she helped rewrite the document back in 1970. >>Three Police Officers Arrested On Drug Charges (Schaumburg, IL) -- Three Schaumburg cops are on the other side of the law for allegedly selling drugs. John Cichy, Matthew Hudak and Terrance O'Brien all work in the narcotics division in the Schaumburg Police Department. They were arrested yesterday after federal drug officers executed 20 search warrants. They're expected to appear in court today. Each has been placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. >>State Rep Sells Guns To Replenish Campaign Account (Watseka, IL) -- One newly elected state rep has found a creative and controversial way to replenish his campaign chest. Josh Harms, from Watseka, is raffling off several guns. The grand prize is a Ruger Mini-14 stainless steel rifle. He's also raffling off a Ruger LCR hammerless 357 revolver and a Mossberg 535 pump shotgun. Tickets are five bucks apiece and must be purchased by March 2nd. Participants must be 21 and eligible to own a gun in Illinois. >>DNR Offers Fishing, Hunting Licenes Next Week (Springfield, IL) -- A couple of notes from the State Department of Natural Resources. Illinois fishing, hunting, and sportsman's combination licenses for 2013 will be available starting next Monday, January 21st, from all DNR Direct license and permit vendors, plus online at the DNR website. Also, the final segment of the 2012-2013 Late-Winter Firearm Antlerless-only Deer Season comes to an end this weekend around the state – that's tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday in Illinois. Some county permits are still available over the counter.

Howdy there! Pleasure to meet all of y'all! Might as well start the introduction, I go by the nickname Hasina, currently twenty-two years of age and I'm in school. Now to actual interesting things, lol.
I roleplayed a lot as a teenager on forums such as Probards and the like, but when I hit higher education it kind of fell away from me as I concentrated more and more on school. Well, recently my work load has decreased and I'm ready to get back into action.
I like to say I have a wide variety of interests, so I'll list off just a few. My favorite webcomic would have to be Homestuck, so if anyone has a Homestuck roleplay going, you can bet you'll see me there. I'm also a big fan of shows like Parks & Recreation, 30 Rock, Wilfred, and Frasier. My music tastes are... odd, I usually go off of a good sounding song instead of bands or singers I like, though my favorite bands are the Beatles and Shinedown.
I've cosplayed on occasions so perhaps I'll throw up a few images of that if I get around to it. Video games I'm usually interested in are first person shooters, but RP like ones, such as Skyrim or the more recent Fallout games.
Well, that's all I can think of at the moment to fill the screen with. If anyone has any questions, ask here, other then that, I'm just bloody excited to meet all of y'all! ;D

Jade Goody burgled again
Oh Jade. Try to remember to lock the bloody door. This is the third time Ms Goody has been burgled recently, and this time they took £50,000 worth of stuff. Thieves took loads of her jewels, including a Tiffany necklace and earring set, five designer watches and a diamond bracelet.
Jade said suspicions were aroused when she heard a noise from upstairs, "I went to investigate with Batman (don't get too excited - it's her dog) but there was no one there," explained Jade. She said she was simply relieved that her two boys weren't in the house at the time, admitting, "I dread to think what would have happened if the thieves had still been in the house." A friend said: "Her bedroom with a mess and there were muddy footprints everywhere." But still the thieves weren't put off.

Yes I was thinking the same thing. I beleive the time lords returned from the time lock in a season 2 part final thanks to plats that involved the master. So yeah I had the same thought tho now there is a chance to bring more time lords into the show again.
it would be, which makes me wonder why it had not been done yet
Yeah, but try watching the Simpsons or Family guy on your PS3 with Hulu+. Some shows they refuse to stream to a gaming system and force to watch on a computer even with paying money for +. Although still having adds make it worse as I am paying for the privilege of being restricted with what I want to watch and how I can watch it. Worst part is I can pirate these shows and watch on my PS3 far easier then trying to do it legit.
This is the reason why I would never use their service. I got a big screen tv with myPS3 and a smaller laptop screen, so which would I want to use? What am I not allowed to use?...yeah screw off Hulu
my new phone has GG and I not been the nicest to it, but so far so good on my end
As far as I know the PS3 did not have a problem as bad as the 360 with hardware failure, but then again I have a friend who had his phat PS3 break twice since he got it (was the one with the MGS bundle, just as they released the slim modle, or shortly after as the phat one was really hard to find)
That M$ should have modified there Windows Phone 7 or 8 to be used for tablets and kept the desktop OS clean of tablet changes.
Not funny, but really it is not bad enough to be offended
Guess I was lucky to not have any trouble with ATT, but back then i had a dumb phone and did not really text.
Maybe so, but as there is a feedback from the buttons it makes it easier to type out a message, at least with me and how I type things out.
A few, but lack of it has also been known to be deadly. it is to addicting and there is no hope to go without once hooked.
What about T-mobile? Or any smaller carriers that use any GSM carriers networks?
Don't know much about unix, but I guess...so how long will it take to try 8,000,000 passwords or what not possible with two seconds between each try...besides that many files should get someone seeing a problem long before it gets hacked.
Ok, I admit i did not really know about those battles. Tho in my defense I am no French history expert.

Marketing Automation Platform
Browser does not support script.
The A-Series Egg Coder has been designed in partnership with grader manufacturers and their customers, resulting in the highest standards of reliability, performance and ease of use.
Software for all the major grader types (including Moba, Staalkat, Diamond) is integrated within the machine to allow operation with many models, so even when the grader is replaced the Domino ink jet printer can easily be relocated to a different grader type.
Traditionally, ink jet egg systems have required external interface equipment, which interprets the grader communication protocol. The A-Series Egg Coder interface is integral to the machine, which results in a compact and reliable installation.
The A-Series Egg Coder can code up to three lines of variable mixed text and logos at the maximum production capacity of today's biggest graders.
The Egg Coder can be supplied in two configurations:
445RD (EU approved) and 449RD (FDA approved) fluids, are specially developed fast drying, boil resistant, self-disinfecting ink which comply with the requirements of DEFRA and the FDA for direct coding onto eggshells.
Ideal for space-restricted areas
Fill in the easy form and Domino will contact you as soon as possible.

Go Green and decorate with plants
Friday, April 24, 2009
Adding greenery to your home, either through living plants or silk arrangements adds a touch of the outdoors into any home, and scan soften almost any decor scape.Although some Feng Shui experts frown upon dried flowers as a decorative accent (as dried flowers are a clear symbol of something that was once alive and vibrant), these guidelines do not seem to apply to silk flowers and definitely do not apply to living plants.
Potted plants and flowers are a simple yet inexpensive way to fill and soften any space, either as a focal point or a background. Philodendrums are by far one of easiest plants to grow and are - in some cases - almost impossible to kill.
If you have a bit of a green thumb, you can try some other plant options, including a fern or a ficus.
By adding some simple greenery, and caring for them regularly (live plants require proper lighting, water and feeding, silk plants require a regular cleaning or dusting to maintain their appeal), you can add a soft, casual, lively accent to any space.

JC Penney Stock Drops As Company Sets To Ramp Up Holiday HiringWednesday September 25th, 2013 - 9:40AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
J.C. Penney shares are trading at their lowest level in nearly 13 years, according to multiple reports. Shares fell $1.58, or 13.3%, to $10.32 at midmorning on September 25, after earlier in the day dropping as low as $9.93. In addition, the company has announced that it plans to hire approximately 35,000 temporary workers for the holiday season as it returns to a coupon and sales event structure, according to a Reuters report. The level of workers is roughly the same level as its holiday hiring in 2011, before the retailer changed its pricing strategy and did away with most coupons and sales events, Reuters reported. J.C. Penney has returned to a discount and coupon-heavy approach to pricing, which is more labor intensive, spokeswoman Kate Coultas reportedly told Reuters. "Not only will we need the help to assist customers but also to help with tasks such as changing price signage, etc.," she said.

450 Words: Racing Overseas
Tuesday, October 30, 2012 | 11:10 AMYamalube oils, lubricants and care products have been proven to enhance performance, lower ownership costs and lengthen the lives of Yamaha motors. Give our entire line a test drive, and we think you'll find you've changed more than your oil; you've changed your entire experience.
By Jason Weigandt and Steve Matthes
Weege-- The Monster Energy Cup is done, and that means some top riders now head overseas to get in some gate drops (and make some money). But others just stay at home and work on their game. We're seeing a mixed assortment of strategies there. Chad Reed is making a surprising return to three rounds of the Australia SX tour, and Bercy is coming back with some decent hype in two weeks (Tomac, Chisholm, Weimer and Brayton on the docket). Brayton and some others will tour through Genoa, Italy and such, too. But we're still far away from the heydays of the 80's and 90's when every top rider raced overseas—you won't be seeing Dungey, Stewart or Villopoto in Europe this fall.
If you're making tons of money I could see the reasons to stay away, but this is a business after all, and I'm all for riders raking in the Euros (whatever that's worth) while they can. Careers are short in this sport. So what's happening? Is the overseas stuff growing or shrinking?
Matthes-- Like life and all that Zen stuff that I never paid much attention to, we go up and down in cycles, Weege, and right now, we're about halfway into a cycle where some of the top racers like to race in the off-season. This is up from the days of Ricky Carmichael, who never went over there (except for Bercy one time where he broke his collarbone on the first night) but won a ton of races here in the U.S.—and because of that strategy, everyone followed his lead and stayed home. Before that came the 90's, when top stars like Stanton, Bradshaw, JMB, Larry and Jeff Ward seemed to race year round, and McGrath, Emig and LaRocco carried their American SX rivalries overseas. In fact Stanton told me that he made more money in four months racing in Europe than he did in eight months of his factory Honda contract!
The ridiculous amount of money that Vilopoto and Dungey get paid ensures that we won't see them in Europe racing SX anytime soon but we've seen the economy improve enough to where those races can now attract some other stars. Think about the GEICO Honda team last year. They sent their top two riders (Justin Barcia and Eli Tomac) to Bercy on a bike that they don't normally ride (450) just outside of a month from Anaheim! That's great to see and the upper management at GEICO doesn't seem to care about the injury factor because they, unlike so many other nancy-nurses in the sport, understand that practicing poses just as much of a risk to get hurt as racing does.
So bravo to all you brave souls who are heading over to Genoa, Geneva and Bercy this winter. I tip my hat to you and applaud you as you get some testing and track time under your belt and fill your wallets at the same time. You sirs, are my heros.
Tomac (far left), Chisholm (left), Barcia (right) and Weimer (far right) all competed at the Bercy Supercross last year.

Weege--Yeah that's cool, but there are things that can happen at a race that don't happen in practice. Reed busted his thumb last season in a first turn crash in Genoa, Italy. First turn pileups don't happen at the test track. But the bigger factor isn't physical harm—it's the mental risks. Bercy takes place two months after Elsinore, so everything seems fresh and new right now. But, by the time Elsinore rolls around again next year, well, that's the end of a long, long season. Laying low this November might make a rider feel a lot fresher by next summer. Plus, these dudes are in for long flights and days in hotel rooms instead of training and/or relaxing on a set schedule at home. You build fitness in the off-season and these guys are cutting into that.
But I understand your cycle thing. As soon as someone can point a direct line to racing overseas helping or hurting results here, it's going to keep going up and down. But I, for one, have been enjoying the normal life these last few weekends after spending nearly every Saturday and Sunday morning in a hotel room for nine months. Once the season begins, it's gone, so you better take advantage when you can.
Matthes-- I know you're my boss and all and I probably shouldn't question this, but what exactly are you saying? Are you for these guys racing overseas or not?
Weege-- The reason I make the big bucks and order you around mercilessly is because I'm smart enough to realize these decisions are tough and it's not easy to pick a side. Many factors must be weighed. I know, this is a sensitive time in the U.S. and most people are all about picking a side and sticking to it, and believing there are easy answers to very complex problems. But you're Canadian and have no clue what I'm talking about.
So, back to these off-season SX races. I see some risks in it for the riders, no doubt, and you have to respect that. But I also think that's tunnel vision. Everyone tries to set their program around winning at Anaheim, or Houston or somewhere in Monster Energy Supercross. But guess what? Very few riders will succeed at that level. I say look at your career as a whole and make as much money from as many different avenues as you can. If that means going to Europe for a few weekends, do it. If that means working as a flagger at Englishtown, well, it works for some people. And if anyone wanted to pay me to go to any of these races, I'd be there as soon as the next flight leaves. Which would be slightly delayed due to a Hurricane. This isn't a no-brainer, but if you use your brain, I think you see it's worth the risk.

Matthes-- Okay boss man, just want to check your stance.
I don't know why everyone doesn't do these things. Look, I know that RV, RD and James make a ton of money but when Stewie went to Bercy, it was rumored to be a $250K deal for two years. Now I don't care how much money you make, that's a nice chunk of change. Even the mighty McGrath would go to Bercy for $100K and he was rolling in the dough. You nailed it exactly, it's not like these careers are super long. You never know when you're just going to be done (ask Jimmy Button about that) and on top of getting some serious cash, you get to travel to another part of the world which is always awesome and it's, like, five days out of your life. You think your third place at Anaheim would have been different if you'd been able to train and ride for five days?
Here comes the Tim Ferry train and it's making a stop in this column to no one's surprise. When I worked for Ferry he would routinely turn down 30-40K a weekend two or three times because he just didn't want to go. Guess what he said to me maybe a year ago or so? "I wish I had gone to those races." Yeah, even the mighty Red Dog makes a mistake or two. So I ask you riders that complain about having to go get paid thousands and thousands of dollars to go race: WWRDD? What would Red Dog Do? Ask yourself that and you'll have your answer.
Weege-- Yes, since you live in Vegas, why not head down to Hart & Huntington's place and get that WWRDD tattoo on your neck? Words to live by whether you worship Red Dog or just the almighty dollar (or Euro): make as much coin as you can. At best, riders race pro for about 15 years, so when you think about how small a percentage of a life that is (maybe 1/6th) you might as well cash in.
Unfortunately, I don't see the all-time heydays coming back. And the problem isn't the bad economy (or Euro) but actually the good economy for the top riders here. Yes, McGrath was making big coin in his day, but RV and Dungy's deals, for example, are much, much bigger. There gets to be a point when you're making heavy seven figures that even an extra hundred grand or so just isn't enough to get going. I guarantee you Barcia just threw that $100,000 he just made at the MEC in the bank and moved on; it didn't change his life or even his week. And while maybe $500,000 might be enough to move the needle, no promoter can afford that kind of dough. So, although we both think racing overseas would be a good idea, we also both know it's never going to come all the way back. I only wish they ponied up more for the journalists who want to go to Europe in the fall to, um, cover races.
Chisholm's win in Bercy proved to be very beneficial.

When can we get some video's on Martin "the dominator" Davalos aboard that green demon?
RED DOG - he also turned down a personal trainer offered to him by Rodger Decoster when he was in his prime. I local Florida star that is highly education in his field of performance training, and professionally the top person in the industry that these guys should hire, Who am I talking about, that is for you to try and find out, he lives in Florida, he is a EMT, Fire fighter, raced professionally, and in my opinion better than any of the trainers that Buba, reed, RV, RD could amagine hiring, Just really makes me made that we as a racing industry hire people that really have no education to get the job done.
Oh my gosh the world will be in a frenzy trying to figure out you're talking about! All of the top people in the industry are already in the air and every private investigator in the state is on retainer, this is craaaazzzzyyyyy! You've just won your friend (yourself?) a whole new life as a big time hot shot! Hope he can handle gobs of mansions, Italian autos, and hot blondes in SoCal, because he's going to be swimming in all of those thingsss$$$!!!
Cmon Organdonar, do you really want to see who Davalos is stealing money from now?? Let's see, indoors a 5th. Outdoors 6th and a 27th on a good day.
Can we put an age limit on the Lites class already?
@ OrganDoner.We can't get vids of the pros because they are to busey showing vids of AC.You know the amature rider who claims he is going to ride the A class yet he raced at Glen Healen last week in the B class.
"The ridiculous amount of money that Vilopoto and Dungey get paid ensures that we won't see them in Europe racing SX anytime soon "
.WHAT??? when some dudes get payed $25,000,000 a year to hit a ball with a stick don't EVER call what these guys get payed "Ridiculous"...Please!!
Gee and I just loged on after the great BiilC, no offence meant BillC, just you have been around here at least as long as I have and I respect your comments.
Anyhooooo Since I was never a highly paid Pro I never could get to race speed on practice alone. I thinnk the only way to keep your edge is to race. After my many injuries I would be able to practice maybe 2 times a week and train. Still it was a 3 week wiindow of racing each weekend to get back to race speed everytime. If the top guys are healthy I really think the real racin is the best practice and training. I think it was the late Lynn Neckerson that started calling me Welker 3-4-5 after my injuries. Hannah would come back and he had the Hurricane 2-3 and so forth. No I was not that good.
Point is I dont think anyting but racing is the best training.
PS: All of the so called sports like the ball stuff foot,base and please dont call golf a sport unless you are gonna call Minisota Fats one of the best athletes in the world and make biliards a sport! Buy the way I am pretty good at that!
Yes they are all overpaid Prima Donna's compared the the Motocross and Super cross guys!!!
@BillC, the reason the stick and ball sports stars get that money, is because those franchises who pay them make it all back.. When you have a 160 game baseball season, and advertisers pay huge amounts of money for a 30 second commercial, that generates huge amounts of cash.. And the moto guys would get that money too if millions of people would watch the sport. But unfortunately they dont.. But the top guys still get obscene amounts of cash.. How much money has Stewart made for 16 races a year for the last 4 years?? ALOT!!!!!!
@Welker, as much as I love moto. alot of the stick and ball guys are not Prima Donnas, Their sports take a ton of talent and dedication just like our sport does.. I will never cut a guy down for getting something from those Billionaire owners.. They are the ones who drove up those saleries anyways.. And they still rake in millions of dollars..
Wow--this Fred idiot must really have the worse life ever.. Does he ever say anything decent about anyone??? What a sourpuss... I know I really enjoy reading pretty much anything moto related.. But some clowns just have their favorites and thats all they want to see.. I have noticed that Fred hates anyone young.. So he must be one of those bitter old guys who shoulda, woulda, coulda done something with their lives.. Cheer up Fred, it cant be that bad..
racing is living everything else is just waiting...
I kind of though WTF when I heard about Davalos getting the PC ride. Either Mitch sees something the rest of mere mortals don't or maybe he's losing his golden touch. We'll have to wait a few months to find out.
@MXBOB--I agree, but in reality who else is out there?? But my problem is how long is Davalos going to ride the 250 class?? How old is this guy now?? Talk about a cherry picker..
@bd200 - Of course, I'm extremely biased, but I would have liked to see what Alex Martin could do on a PC bike. He may have been able to get out of his current contract if PC came a courtin'.
therealmofo yes i know that, My point is the risk's and training SX/MX guys take and do compared to other sports they don't get payed enough.
Welker no offence taken I have been called worce than Great on here before LOL

Tribute concert for Darlington band stalwart
1:16pm Tuesday 16th October 2012 in News By Ian Noble, Reporter (Shildon and Spennymoor)
A TRIBUTE concert is being held today (OCT 17) in memory of a former brass band president and fundraiser who died earlier this year.
Len Usher was a tireless supporter of Cockerton Prize Silver Band and raised thousands of pounds for the musicians.
Mr Usher, 88, was a former president of the Cockerton band and he sold draw tickets to raise money for the band for many years until his death in May.
He was equally dedicated to St John's Church, in Darlington, where he served as a church warden for a number of years.
John Steel, band chairman, said: "Len Usher was an amazing man who dedicated so much of his spare time to his great passions, his church and his band.
"At his funeral we discussed how best we could mark the significant contribution that he had made to both organisations.
"A concert by the band he loved at the church he loved seemed the obvious solution."
The concert is at 7.30pm at St John's Church, Neasham Road, with tickets £5. Proceeds will be split evenly between the church and band funds.

text: Insurance in Japan is mainly in the hands of private enterprise, although government insurance agencies write crop, livestock, forest fire, fishery, export credit, accident and health, and installment sales credit insurance as well as social security. Private insurance companies are regulated under various statutes. Major classes of property insurance written include automobile and workers' compensation (which are compulsory), fire, and marine. Rates are controlled by voluntary rating bureaus under government supervision, and Japanese law requires rates to be "reasonable and nondiscriminatory." Policy forms generally resemble those of Western nations. Personal insurance lines are also well developed in Japan and include ordinary life, group life, and group pensions. Health insurance, however, is incorporated into Japanese social security. Japan's rapid industrialization after World War II was accompanied by an impressive growth in the insurance business. Toward the end of the 20th century, Japan ranked number one in the world in life insurance in force. It accounted for about 25 percent of all insurance premiums collected in the world, ranking second behind the United States. The number of domestic insurers is relatively small; foreign insurers operate in Japan but account for less than 3 percent of total premiums collected. ... (200 of 18,622 words)Japan
