Almost daily, a new challenger hoping to snatch Susan Boyle's unlikely-singing-sensation crown surfaces. From Taiwan's Whitney Houston-singing Lin Yu Chun to 81-year-old powerhouse Janey Cutler, it's been a close race, but could the real contender be 10-year-old Jackie Evancho? The young girl graced the 'America's Got Talent' stage this week, delivering a beautiful performance that received a standing ovation and left the judges stupefied, with Sharon Osborne asking, "Is this for real?"

All 228 bottles carry labels stating that the Woodford Reserve was selected exclusively for the MGM Grand. It is part of MGM Resorts' expanding effort to provide "personalized spirits" to customers seeking "an exclusive experience," said Dan Adams, director of food and beverage at the MGM Grand.
Earlier this year, Adams and a team traveled to Versailles, Ky., to sip samples from three barrels at the distillery. After the tasting, they selected a double-oaked bourbon that had been aged nearly seven years in two charred oak barrels.
"We were looking for something that was a little more fruity and a little less woody," Adams said.
Shots will cost $15. The bourbon will also be showcased in specialty cocktails created by the winners of a contest among the MGM Grand bar staff.
Other unique whiskeys are already available at other MGM Resorts properties.
Aria is selling a custom Woodford Reserve blended from two barrels.
At the Monte Carlo, shots from a single barrel of Knob Creek bourbon are offered. A news release described the liquor as having "dark chocolate flavors interwoven with rich hot cocoa, black walnut and fudge."
Guests at the Mirage can choose to sip from a single-barrel personal selection of Jack Daniel's. (Because it is distilled in Tennessee, not Kentucky, it can't -- by law -- be called "bourbon.")

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
Paris Hilton continued her Birthday Celebration last night, by heading out to Beso with some friends for dinner, which included Brandon "Greasy Bear" Davis.
But afterwards, the SUV full of Socialites headed towards Agency Nightclub in Hollywood… which just so happens to be run by Paris's former boyfriend, Cy Waits, the dude who lost his job taking care of XS and Tryst in the Wynn / Encore, and Drai's.
Paris and her crew arrived just about 5 minutes after Cy arrived… all while Paris's "Current Boyfriend" DJ Afrojack is busy spinning in Barcelona.

Dear Chiffon,
I hate you.
Working with Chiffon is bittersweet.
Yes, it looks beautiful in a garment, all flowing, layered, ruffled, gathered, maybe even fluted… A+ on the finished product every time, but boy…little does the average person know how much actual work is involved when you're working with the stuff. I mean, if you want it to look as nice as possible. Let me show what I mean….
1) For starters, I can't simply lay my fabric out, lay my pattern over it and cut, the way I did with the pants in my first post. Yes, we've reached the groaning portion of the post. Welcome everyone's favorite technique: Cutting to paper! YAY (Ugh)! What we'd normally do in this situation is lay a big sheet of pattern paper under the chiffon and lay the pattern on top, pin the crap out of it and THEN cut. Why? Because chiffon is a slippery little b– uh… thing. You're not even supposed to cut multiple layers at a time-but I said to heck with that as you'll soon see*.
Problem: Was working at home and forgot my pattern paper.
Solution: A little ingenuity, a lot of pins, and the sports section….
Ahhh, 0ne hour, 8 spreads, 30 pins and a few choice curse words later, I managed to prep my fabric and pattern for cutting.
And what a simple, yet ingenious piece of pattering marvel it is!!! Behold, the beginnings of what is to be a very elegant cape. What makes me so clever you ask? Well, not only have I *sandwiched my [news]paper between 4 (that's right) layers of chiffon, but I've layed my pattern out and designed it so that the back is on the fold and the front on the selvage! Yes! Less seam finishes for me!
Side note: Capes: They're great. In a future post I'll be discussing the fact that all the cool kids are makin' 'em. (at least in my class anyway)
2)Enter: New Problem. Good design students and crafters alike have more than one pair of scissors. For the most part, everyone has about two: one for paper and one for fabric. Aaaah, you see where I'm going with this?
Presumably, majority might vote for the fabric scissors but…to sully my sexy sheers? Cripple my classy cutters? …F– up my fancy forbici (Italian for "scissors")?!?!
What's a girl to do? (Other than give away free advertising for ghinger?)
Note: In the industry, they'd lay this stuff out like 100-pile high, let it rest over night, then cut it with a laser. A friggin' LASER. How do I get my hands on a laser?
Solution: Started with the paper scissors, then shunned them to the bottom of the toolbox after the shoddy job they did and regrettably switched to my fabric ones, which performed beautifully, only after I promised them they would be getting a top notch sharpening to make up for the abuse. (I wont even show you the horrible job the other pair did. It's just vulgar)
Voila! Part one of the nightmare is finally over. Tune in for part II of "The Cape Saga." When I go over having to sew this crap lovely, lovely fabric.

Market Snapshot for February 1, 2011 (9:05 p.m. ET):
Closing Prices: DOW 12,716.46 (+83.55, +0.66%), S&P 500 1,324.08 (+11.67, +0.89%), NASDAQ 2,848.27 (+34.43 +1.22%), Nikkei 225 8,880.19 (+70.40, +0.8%), DAX 6,616.64 (+157.73, +2.44%), FTSE 5,790.72 (+109.11, +1.92%)
Dow Jones Inds. and S&P 500 Hit 20-Day SMA
The market has continued to chug its way higher into the next month with a solid start on Wednesday. A rally in Europe following a report on slowing inflation boosted the index futures, leading a strong opening gap to kick off the session. Tuesday's highs served as resistance in premarket trade, but congestion along those highs from 4:30 a.m. ET into the opening bell allowed the market to rest just long enough to manage another break higher shortly after the open.
Dow Jones Industrial Average (Figure 1)
ISM Data Offers Further Encouragement
The market rally picked up once again following the 10:00 a.m. ET economic data on Wednesday morning. According to the Institute for Supply Management, business at U.S. manufacturers expanded in January at its fastest pace in eight months.
Additionally, construction spending was up 1.5% in December.
The rally out of the morning data was not as extreme as seen in premarket trade following the European open. While the premarket congestion was long enough to allow for a breakout, it was not enough to fully correct from the earlier gains, making it difficult for the market to mount another push higher with the same momentum. Nevertheless, the move was still impressive point-wise and the indices managed one of the strongest sessions of the year-to-date.
Slowing momentum allowed the market to break its uptrend channel mid-day, resulting in a pullback into the closing bell. The S&P 500 and Dow Jones Ind. Average experienced a stronger correction than the Nasdaq, which has continued to outperform throughout the year. While the S&P 500 and Dow both pulled back to 20-day moving average support this week, the Nasdaq has yet to do more than test its 10-day moving average this year.
S&P 500 (Figure 2)
Index Wrap-up
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DJI) ended the day on Wednesday with a gain of 83.55 points, or 0.66%, and closed at 12,716.46. Twenty-seven of the Dow's thirty index components posted a gain. The top performers were Bank of America (BAC) (+3.23%), Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) (+2.79%), and United Technologies Corp. (UTX) (+2.39%). The top only shares posting a loss were McDonald's (MCD) (-0.66%), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) (-0.33%), and Chevron Corp. (CVX) (-0.32%).
The S&P 500 ($SPX) finished the session with a gain of 11.67 points, or 0.89%, and closed at 1,324.08. Out of the index's ten industry groups, the strongest were the financials (+1.7%), industrials (+1.1%), and materials (+1.1%). There were no declining industry groups. The top individual percentage performer in the index was Whirlpool (WHR), which rose 13.48% after it raised its 2012 earnings guidance. WHR was followed by strong performances in Marathon Pete. Corp. (MPC) (+9.58%), and Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) (+8.09%). BRCM also raised its earnings guidance for the year. The top decliner was Amazon.com (AMZN) (-7.70%) after raising concerns that it would post a loss in the first quarter after missing estimates last quarter. Other top decliners were CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) (-7.02%) and Southwestern Energy Co. (SWN) (-2.34%).
The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) ended the session higher by 34.43 points, or 1.22%, on Wednesday and it closed at 2,848.27. The strongest performer in the Nasdaq-100 ($NDX) was Seagate Technology (STX) (+20.77%). It was followed by gains in Broadcom Corp. (BRCM) (+8.09%) and Mylan Inc. (MYL) (+5.88%). The weakest were Amazon.com (AMZN) (-7.70%), CH Robinson Worldwide (CHRW) (-7.02%), and Activision Blizzard Inc. (ATVI) (-1.46%).
Nasdaq Composite (Figure 3)
Earnings Impress
The market was up further afterhours on Wednesday after strong earnings from Qualcomm (QCOM), Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), and Allstate (ALL).
GMCR shares jumped 22% after it posted earnings of 60 cents a share (18 cents higher than the previous year) and revenue growth of 102%, beating the Street estimates. GMCR saw its share prices plummet from over $115 a share in September to under $35 by November last year. It's set to open over $65 a share Thursday morning.
The market momentum continued to slow afterhours on Wednesday despite the above-mentioned earnings. Only the Nasdaq managed a higher high, but the highs were only slightly higher. This created a bull trap and further shifted the momentum of the day's rally. The result was a Momentum Reversal following Europe's open and a pullback in the Nasdaq to its premarket congestive levels from Wednesday morning. The Dow and S&P 500 have also found support at this congestion zone heading into Thursday morning. This will continue to serve as support throughout the remainder of the morning, while last week's highs in the Dow will serve as market resistance. We have not yet seen a strong pattern develop for a break in the current daily uptrend, but new multi-day positions in that direction gain risk with each passing day as the market comes closer and closer to a stronger daily correction.
Unless otherwise stated, the index action described in this article relates to the E-mini futures contracts for the respective indices. Actual index action may differ slightly in terms of pattern formation, although the market bias will remain the same.

More in common?: Researchers are now trying to understand just how trends in body weight spread through close social ties.

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

The people we associate with can have a powerful effect on our behavior—for better or for worse. This holds true for human health and body mass, too. The heavier our close friends and family, the heavier we are likely to be.
This correlation, described in 2007 by a team that analyzed data from the longitudinal Framingham Heart Study, is well established. But just how this transpires—whether via shared norms, common behavior or just similar environments—has been the subject of much debate.
The authors of the 2007 study proposed that social norms shared among friends and relatives might be a strong determinant of body mass index (BMI). And a new study, published online May 5 in the American Journal of Public Health, drills down to see just how these social forces might be at work. The study of more than 100 women—and hundreds of their friends and family members—however, suggests that social attitudes might not be key in determining obesity clusters after all.
"Going in as anthropologists we assumed that the norms would have a strong influence" on BMI, says Alexandra Brewis, executive director of the School of Human Evolution and Social Change at Arizona State University in Tempe. She and her colleagues found themselves surprised how small an effect the norms had on a person's BMI. Just one type of social dynamic seemed to play a statistically significant role—and that was only about 20 percent.
But a small effect is not no effect, points out James Fowler, a professor at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and Division of Social Sciences, and co-author of the 2007 The New England Journal of Medicine paper that described the influence of social ties on obesity rates. The finding that even 20 percent of weight status can be attributed to social norms suggests that "at least some of what is spreading are ideas about body size." And that, he says, is "incredibly exciting," as it hints at some methods to start stemming the social spread of obesity.
The influence of friends
To try to better understand the ways in which social norms might be influencing social clusters of obesity, Brewis and her colleagues interviewed 101 Arizona women aged 18 to 45—and 812 of their close social ties, including friends, spouses, family members, coworkers and others—about their attitudes toward body size. All subjects were questioned about their ideal size, their preference for being non-obese (relative to other conditions, such as being an alcoholic or blind), and how much stigma they associated with a person's being overweight or obese.
The subjects' answers correlated with their BMI (by design, half of the women were overweight or obese) and with the BMI and answers given by their social ties. Brewis and her team then tested the data against a framework of three possible pathways that might help explain why people and those they are close to have similar body sizes. The frameworks held up in the analysis: The first describes the case in which social norms between people converge "and that makes you both behave the same way," Brewis explains; the second, occurs when two people might have different social norms, but a friend's social norms "shape [the other's] behavior even if they don't internalize them"; and the third possibility—"it's not really due to the relationship at all," but rather something else that is related to body size, such as simply frequently seeing friends who are overweight.
Given the way the study was designed, however, it is quite possible that the effect of social norms is "even higher" than 20 percent, Fowler says.
The findings are by no means the final word on the influence of social norms, says Ross Hammond, director of the Center on Social Dynamics and Policy at The Brookings Institution. "It examines one kind of norm," he says. "I think this study is a good start," but, he notes, "even for these kinds of norms, there are other pathways through which this might matter." He also notes that although the study focused on a certain age range of women, it did not pull out differences that might be at work in subsets of age, BMI or demographics. "Some of the results they find may mask quite strong effects in subgroups," he says. Brewis says that her group hopes to start studying the role of social norms in different countries as well, such as in India and Paraguay.
The new study underscores just "how difficult social norms are to measure," says Hammond, who wrote a review paper on social influence and obesity that was published last year. "What we'd like to do is uncover the mechanisms that might explain the social clustering of obesity."

If socially gleaned attitudes are not the driving force spreading obesity among social circles, what is? "The other part could explain the spread of behavior," says Nicholas Christakis, a professor of medical sociology at Harvard Medical School and co-author of the 2007 Framingham paper.

Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship for Editorial Writing
Urban Agenda Focus of Detroit Editorial Writer
Since August 2007, Pulliam Editorial Fellow Jeff Gerritt of the Detroit Free Press has been examining problems facing urban American and how we can best confront these problems.
In 2000, Gerritt started writing editorials and columns on urban issues, criminal justice, prison, and housing issues. He left the comfort of his office and chose to report these stories from the streets to better understand what was facing area residents. His experiences in metro Detroit have given him an up close look at the problems of Americas older cities.
Gerritts upcoming editorial series will show why its important for America to have an urban agenda and what that agenda should include. Over the first nine months of 2008, the Detroit Free Press will present Gerrits series of editorials with an eye toward shaping election-year debates on the state and national levels.
The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation awarded Gerritt the Eugene C. Pulliam Editorial Writing Fellowship in 2007.
Read Gerritts series, "Cities Now and Tomorrow."
The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship was first offered in 1977. It is funded by a grant from Mrs. Eugene C. Pulliam, honoring the memory of her husband, one of the original members of the Society and former publisher of The Indianapolis Star, The Indianapolis News, The Arizona Republic and The Phoenix Gazette.
Founded in 1961, the Sigma Delta Chi Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that those who carry on the tradition of a free press are prepared for the challenge. Its goal is to support the educational programs of the Society of Professional Journalists and to serve the professional needs of journalists and students pursuing careers in journalism.

If u want or are able to you cna hear more updates not jus on here but subscruing to the strange music posts and podcasts, Recently Travis talked about Ces Cru BLH, and Jay Rock's up cominc albums plus wanting ot get scoob, and kutt out at least doin an ep, figure closing portion of 2012, and openin portion and mid portion of 2013 will have alot of new music merch and tours
I talked to Ubi and he said the fans need to tell Strange to start requesting their shirts. The only way you can buy a shirt right now, is at one of the Ces shows.
Thanks guys,
SIN1STER you mentioned you can by shirts at there shows, do you know if there coming to Australia for a tour sometime in the future?
Maybe if Tech does a world tour, similar to a few years back, but I doubt they come over there by themselves.

Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . .
That is a good deal for that. It sure seems heavy duty enough. I just have to put a jack like that on mine.
A question I have is, does bark and chips get jammed in the platform. Looking at that, it sure seems it would. I have a Duer splitter which has a clear I beam and the only place chips get jammed in, is back by the cylinder and that is irritating enough for me. Just wondering about yours because I see a lot of your design around.3720, Frontier 6' BB; 6' Rear Blade.; Loaded tires and Ballast Box; Dirt Scoop.

Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . . I Made a Choice!
99johndeere99, Wow, that is some deal! It appears to be this model from TSC and you saved $1,100.00. Nothing like "being in the right place at the right time."
I decided to order this 27 ton splitter from Sears. It has the trailer jack and coiled wrapped hoses that I wanted and will probably be all the log splitter my brother and I will need. Some may not feel confident of the Sears motor quality, but I have a Sears lawn leaf pull-type vacuum that has not given me any engine problems for over 15 years.
Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . . I Made a Choice!
I just purchased a North Star 30 ton with the Honda 160 GX motor. I also had to purchase the 8 1/2 gal of hydraulic fluid. I had to assemble all the major components which was a bit of a pain. Some of the bolts were missing along with bolts that were the wrong size. I called customer support for replacements- we'll see how they do. Haven't tried it yet, but others have said it's a good splitter.

Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . .
What a deal. I'm jealous. The 35-ton units usually go for $2k plus.
I wouldn't settle for the smaller tonnage units. I usually split by hand, but I borrow my neighbor's 34-ton unit when I have some really tough stuff to split, and I regularly make it grunt, and occasionally have stopped it dead. Part of the reason is that I heat my home with wood, so I am always on the lookout for free firewood. As a result, I sometimes end up bringing home trunks that are so large that nobody else really wants them. The current record is about 5' diameter that a local tree service guy dropped off for me. They were too big for my saw, no matter ho I came at it, so I ended up hiring a local arborist to cut them into rounds "on the side". Then I broke them down a piece at a time with a maul and three wedges--first, splitting off the outer "doughnut" of wood and then splitting the more reasonable-sized core down the middle.
I know that not everybody splits tough wood like that, but if I was shopping for a splitter, I would look for as much power as I could get, even if it meant saving up. In the mean time, I'm glad my neighbor doesn't mind lending me his.
Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . . I Made a Choice!
That's the basic MTD log splitter. My guess is MTD will build it's design with what ever options you want. The brand and type of engine, if and what color fenders, the basic or nicer folding leg, the outer springs on the hoses, etc. That splitter will split almost anything you put on it. Plus Sears will always have parts for it.

Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . .
This past weekend I Picked up the 27 ton Wheel Horse/Honda engine at Loews. Split about a half cord of gnarly pin oak limb wood and some straight grained big rounds of cottonwood. The cottonwood is split real slender for kindling as that's about all I'll use it for. The machine was very easy to use - very easy starting, quiet and didn't use much fuel for the time it was running. It tore thru some knots and crotches with ease.
This is my first splitter, if you don't count the axe, the sledge & wedges, or the maul. So I am a newb to splitters and really was overwhelmed by all the choices. Your collective comments guided me to get this model, so thanks for all the help!That's the problem with trouble.
It always starts out as such fun."

Re: Another Log Splitter Question . . .
I can't comment on Huskee vs. Troy Built but I can say I bought a 22 ton splitter from TSC made in China by Champion and when it broke down in less than a year TSC would not do anything for me and I had to deal with Champion. That was less than a satisfying experience.

Fourth Reich
So, the first thing you'll probably notice upon entering the room is the rather sizeable elephant in the corner with this album title stamped on its forehead. I have no intention of softening the blow with claims of, "well, there was obviously a first and second Reich long before the unpardonable third." It's fairly obvious why these dudes chose a title capable of conjuring indignation, and if you choose to write them off as some sort of thick-skulled sympathizers and curse them to an early grave, then I suppose the band's initial filter has done its job of weeding out the first batch; the Katharsis brand of impugning, bedeviled black metal is not for you.
Beyond the ill-feelings conjured by the album's title, Katharsis cast a wealth of other tricks intended to blanket listeners beneath a damning shroud. Crude, slashing riffs scratch and infect like panicked rats racing sewer-to-sewer; entangling bass-line's rope struggling victims into heavily webbed corners; curt, tremolo breakouts wriggle like carrion maggots sniffing the air for decay; drums batter and crack with nail-splintering fury; and tainted vocals rasp, echo and howl the most ghoulish of Psalms with a violent delight -- this is the music of Katharsis. And this particular brand of black metal is one they've been wickedly honing for the better part of the last 15-years.
While I'd comfortably say the band's entire discography rolls like a demented hellion, it was 2006's excellent VVorldVVithoutEnd that really pushed the band into a realm completely separate from the obvious influences that helped pave the way for their first two full-lengths. Not that one can no longer plainly hear the early Darkthrone influence, but the new era of Katharsis issues in an entirely new level of hallucination into the mix. Tunes stretch to 10-minutes and beyond, with murderous riffs and burning howls repeatedly attacking with an unrelenting enthusiasm. Somehow the band has figured out a way to push the level of possession to the brink of eruption. The Fourth Reich maintains that heightened level of bedevilment, but the fever is a few degree's lighter compared to the 2006 release, and they've managed to work in some new maneuver's that add a little flare to the restless dementia. There's a melodic, dare I say "pretty" touch pervading the final measure of "Eucharistick Funeral", and D. Wolfram of fellow countrymen Orlog provides a long, fluid lead towards the close of "Sinn Koronation" that also fits surprisingly well. But the true black sheep of these five incantations strikes with "Emeralde Graves", a 5-minute wind-swept instrumental interlude centered around horror film keyboard atmospherics before eventually breaking into the dour, remarkably trudging stride of the 10-minute album closer.
Like seemingly everything released by Norma Evangelium Diaboli, the presentation and packaging is once again top-notch. Both the vinyl and cd release have artwork that's perfectly suited for the damning intent behind the music within. If you've not yet sampled the corruption that is Katharsis and find the idea of a more hallucinatory, fevered Darkthrone alluring, I'd say you've found a firm candidate for your next purchase. And if you're already a fan of the band and have yet to pick this record up, I'd say your hard-earned money will be well spent; The Fourth Reich is a foul, iniquitous black metal record that's sure to match the most heinous of moods. Highly recommended.

Eastern Chief Minister optimistic of liberating Northern Tamils soon |
Thursday, 14 August 2008 | |
Eastern Chief Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan is confident that the President will very soon be able to liberate the Northern Tamil civilians experiencing hardships under the grip of the LTTE terrorists for 30 years, as freedom was secured for the Easterners by liberating the Province. Mr. Chandrakanthan was addressing a public meeting in the Kekirawa town last afternoon. It was organised to consolidate the victory of Freedom Alliance candidates contesting the North Central Provincial polls. Only the Northern Provincial Council has to be established. Mr. Chandrakanthan was optimistic that before long, this Provincial Council could also be set up under the leadership of the President. (Courtesy : ITN Sri Lanka ) |

The Board of Pardons and Paroles decides which eligible offenders to release on parole or discretionary mandatory supervision, and under what conditions. The Board uses research-based Parole Guidelines to assess each offender's likelihood for a successful parole against the risk to society.
The Board also decides whether to revoke parole if conditions are not met, using a graduated sanctions approach. Depending on the seriousness of the violation, the Board may continue parole, impose additional conditions, place the offender in an Intermediate Sanction Facility, or use other alternatives to revoking parole and sending the offender back to prison.
Additionally, the Board recommends clemency matters, including pardons, to the Governor.

We have a three-year old and she climbs in the car herself and tracks everything in with her. The covers fit extremely well and look phenomenal. We bought the rear covers for protection and then bought the fronts for the look. We are very pleased with the product. I have had to convince a few people that there are covers and not custom seats. They really do look great.

YesNo(5)APPEARANCEEASE OF INSTALLATIONPRICE/VALUEQUALITYSuperior Seat Covers| Posted by Nickolas E. | 2010 Chevy Colorado (Belleville, IL)I purchased these covers for my Chevy Colorado and have to say they fit perfectly. Maybe the only drawback was the covers for the armrest, which made the latch difficult to close due to the elastic straps that wrap inside the armrest to secure the covers. Other than that, they are by far the best seat covers I have ever owned (or seen for that matter). I would defiantly recommend to anyone wants to protect your vehicle's original seats or to spruce up some worn down ones.

Few surprises in iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C teardown
The iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C aren't even on store shelves yet, but the devices have already been torn apart. However, the dissections didn't offer much to surprise customers.
Australian iPhone repair company iExperts on Thursday published images of the iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and iPhone 5S all opened up for the world to see. One interesting note was that the iPhone 5S' TouchId fingerprint sensor comes with an extra metal clip that needs to be removed to open the case. The iPhone 5 and iPhone 5C don't have that clip.
The images show all three devices … Read more
