I've been thinking a lot about this lately. I'm not going to lie, I (allegedly) pirate shit all the time, and so do you. I kind of have my own set of rules concerning the practice though, just like you. For instance, I might (allegedly) download a movie illegally, but only in the case of something I'm not sure I want to see on the big screen. However if I love the movie, I will pay the exorbitant price of $30 to own in high definition on a Blu-Ray disc. And guiltily, I will probably upgrade my Blu-Ray disc when the Special Double Dip Edition comes out. The same goes for any album I love; I'll definitely spring for the deluxe vinyl edition or oh-you-fancy-huh CD box set.
However I think as far as the music industry goes, things have gone too far. The last straw for me, which made me shake my head in disgust was watching the aftermath of the Dr. Dre "Under Pressure" leak. As you may have noticed, we did not post the song here. Why? Because we respect the artist. And that is not just in the case of Dr. Dre, but pretty much anyone, even if we don't like them as people (i.e. Benzino). We're not in the business of fucking up people's careers or artistic vision for a few extra clicks. That's not how we play. Any music that is released here is with the consent of the artist. We didn't sell 2Pac bootlegs right after he died, either.
But the general attitude of the rap blog community seems to be "well, once it's out there, it's out there and there's nothing you can do about it". That statement is true, but on the same token, it is a fallacy that suggests a crime is okay because everyone else is doing it. Hey, everyone else here at this party has raped the 15 year old girl in the back room, so what's the difference if you do it too? Yes, that is an extreme comparison, but pretending like your actions don't contribute to the big picture is incorrect, because everyone is thinking that way.
I was pretty disgusted to see a blogger (and I don't remember which one or who, or I would name them here) try to tell Dr. Dre in a blog post that he shouldn't have made us wait so long for Detox anyway, so that justifies his leaking of the song, more or less suggesting it's Dre's own fault. Is this Alice In Wonderland? What the fuck has the world come to where some dude in his apartment tells Dr. Dre what's what? It kind of like "Hey Picasso, don't be mad that I broke into your home and stole your unfinished painting, the world wants to see it now, so fuck whatever plans you had for it".
And if you really want to get into why it's fucked up, beyond the fact that it has interrupted the creative process, business strategy, and fucking release date for Detox, it's this: essentially, douchey bloggers are collecting checks from ad dollars made from the non-permitted downloads of a song that Dre probably will not release now, because of the leak. This makes our type seem like the cockroaches of the industry.
As many may remember, I went in on Shake of 2 Dope Boys a couple of months back for being shocked – shocked – that he didn't get a warm response from Lupe Fiasco, who was mad at him for leaking his music, and then threatening to never "support" Lupe on the site again (yeah, that panned out). The backlash we received from members of the blogging community – many of them who engage in similar practices, was not surprising. Again, my issue with this situation (despite some erroneous reporting on my part) was the privileged attitude of a young blogger that believes himself to have every right to leak an artist's stolen, unfinished music whenever he chooses, and then expects to get a hip-hop hug from said artist backstage. Too bad you fucked up, dummy.
The third episode I witnessed that inspired this article was some idiot on Twitter telling El-P that he downloaded all of his albums illegally, and that if he didn't like that, it's his own fault for not having a better business plan. This, clearly, like the two examples before it, is another lame excuse by someone who wants to justify their stealing of something directly to the artist's face, for some reason. Guilty conscience, maybe?
But there are a few positives to piracy. The first is, FREE SHIT! Everyone loves free shit! You never have to buy anything, ever again! Now you can steal it! And there's no leering Tower Records employee watching you while you do it. Dope! This one comes with a price, sure, but for the fans, it is a positive. The only downfall here is that you don't get the thrill of the heist that you might get from walking out of Tower with a pocket full of $10.99 tapes.
Another positive of piracy is that, in some cases, it removes the prospect of certain artists being forced to try to make a "hit single" for today's audience. Take Raekwon or DJ Shadow, for instance. Both artists found themselves trying to cross over, in some respect, with albums like Immobilarity or The Outsider, which downright offended the fans. While the artists will probably stand by even their worst works, the bottom line is that they made records like these in order to please the major label system, in hopes of carving out a hit record that would help sell an album that sounds nothing like the single. This stopped being about the longtime fans, and more about the disposable ones. But, once music itself became a "worthless product" – meaning something you can only make money on if you have a massive ringtone hit – many artists stopped even trying to achieve this. Guys like Raekwon could now focus on making albums, not singles, and he released his best album in years with Only Built For Cuban Linx 2. If there is no money in it either way, then why not make it the way you want it? Ironically, Rae making the realest music ever landed him gigs with Kanye and Justin Bieber, which we're sure got him a pretty penny. Thanks, piracy!
The other positive to piracy is that it allows music to travel much faster and get into the hands of more people. Artists like 50 Cent, Lil' Wayne, and Drake owe their careers to piracy of their mixtapes (which they allowed and controlled), leading them to much bigger, lucrative things like Vitamin Water companies and million dollar world tours.
But the negatives far outweigh the positives. Realistically, the above examples are almost flukes and are not indicative of the industry as a whole. Method Man will never be able to recreate the sound he had on Tical and will probably continue to release wack albums that will not make him any money, to which the bloggers would respond, "he doesn't deserve it!" Despite the quality of the music, if it sells (or had potential to sell in pre-MP3 world), he deserves compensation for the work put forth, just like the guy who mops the floor at Showgirl Video. And Saigon is another artist that has released a shit-ton of mixtapes that led him to nowhere. How do you think he feels about people downloading his music illegally?
People often complain that "hip-hop is dead", which to me, is one of the most ridiculous statements, usually said by folks that haven't paid money for music in five years. So let's get this straight, you want an artist to perform for you, maybe even do a little tap dance, but you aren't willing to tip him? Not only that, you want him to perform it the way you want it, according to the rules handed down on two stone tablets in 1987 by KRS-One on top of Mt. Sinai, but you still are unwilling to pay a dime? Got it.
Money makes the world go 'round, and without it, you aren't going to see much "keeping it real" from artists, except in the rare cases of guys like Raekwon. What motivation does someone have to create music that applies to the rules of classic hip-hop if they aren't going to make anything off of it? Sure, one could argue that a true artist does it for the love, but this is America. Eventually that artist is going to have to get a job at McDonald's and will disappear into obscurity if his art cannot support him. And no, 50 year old Chuck D does not want to be touring and hocking Public Enemy t-shirts, he wants to be at home with his family, collecting royalty checks. Piracy will not allow him to do that. So, don't be offended when you see your favorite rapper doing AOL commercials, he has no other choice.
And lets not forget the labels and the record stores. The independent hip-hop movement is dead, as labels like Definitive Jux and stores like Fat Beats (and HipHopSite, actually) eventually succumbed to nobody buying anything, and in turn, nobody is releasing anything. If you cant see that happening, you are in denial.
Coming back around to square one, this is unfortunately the way it is now, so we must adapt. The once flourishing music industry is broken thanks to piracy, so everyone that wants to remain a part of it must find a new way to get their hustle on. While it may not sound like it, I do embrace piracy, and don't support RIAA lawsuits against twelve year olds, but I think there needs to be some respect given to the industry, the artists, and at least some way of giving back. The solution is unclear, but please don't pretend piracy hasn't killed this industry.

" I keep reading this nonsense that "artists aren't making quality music". Like back in the old days when every single disc that came out was an instant classic ? "
—- Bruce….back in the day every song was not an instant classic, but if an artist have you say 14 tracks at least 12 were bangers. Lets see: Pete Rock and CL…classics almost all of them, OC…classics, Common..classic, Queen Latifah…Black Reign…classics…Biggie…Classics….Pubic Enemy…classics.. EPMD…classics…Rakim….classics…Big Daddy Kane….CLASSICS….the list goes on.
These artist from back in the day gave you classic material because all of these artists challenged them to come with better material than the next. Now you have idiots with gold teeth who never finished jr High putting stuff out. Come on son..
Brucethegod said:
"My point is, weather you believe it or not, the artist has performed a service and does deserve some sort of compensation."
I agree, however, just because he/she put 18 tracks down does not mean anything. It has to be good stuff. I don't pick up a carton of a dozen eggs to get 10 cracked rotten ones and just eat 2 good ones. An artist can't think he's gonna put out 16 crap tracks out of 18 and its all love. Maybe some one will buy that but not true heads.
Look I come from way back too. I cannot stand the wacka flocka, soulja boyz. This is disposable music from disposable artists.
Lables and artists themseleves are too blame for Raps downfall.
For instance, whether you like him or not Jay-Z is a trendsetter. He know damn well most rap is shit. If he went back to the way he used to spit others would follow. What does he do…disses autotune and covers it with an autotune track with T-Pain.
Problem with Rap is its gone pop.
Undergound heads continue to support underground artists. Period.
young buck the rehab comes out 7 sept listen samples at amazon buy the album and support the man
young buck = realest and best rapper alive
I do pirate, but if I enjoy something, I add it to my ever-growing list of Albums To Buy. It's 30 albums long so far, and I want all of them, in physical form. This list includes the epic known as Labor Days, which is top priority to me, and which I never would have discovered without the wonders of file sharing.

Born on March 11, 1960, Christophe Gans grew up in the Mediterranean resort town of Antibes, France. His early love of science-fiction, genre films, and Japanese culture all proved to be accurate barometers for the young man's future endeavors. As a boy, he and his friends made several samurai and kung fu movies on a Super-8 camera; by his teens, he was self-publishing the fanzine Rhesus Zero as a platform through which he could share his niche interests. Gans went on to attend France's prestigious film school, the Institut des Hautes Etudes Cinematopraphiques, where his graduate project - a horror short titled "Silver Slime" (1981) - was well-received by audiences, but garnered littl...

She appeared in an episode of "What I Like About You" with her co-star in "Like Family", J. Mack Slaughter. This is the episode in which they had to kiss.
(on the cast of "The 4400")
Megalyn Echikunwoke: There's some pretty sexy people on the show. Matthew Ross is pretty sexy. And Patrick Flueger is definitely very sexy. All the men are just huge sexpots.
(on the open doors for her career created by "The 4400")
Megalyn Echikunwoke: Yeah, it's been good. There's lots of stuff going on and people are seeing the shows.... I haven't really played a character like this before, with a big dark side. I haven't been able to play anyone with any kind of darkness, which I have longed for! If you've seen me before it's always been light and bubbly... and relatively boring! [Laughs]

(Speaking of her role on 24)
Reporter: Is it nice to have been the kid of one of TV's most-beloved presidents?
Megalyn Echikunwoke: It was short-lived, but it was very cool. I think they had wanted to develop that story line more, but it was such an ambitious show, especially in the first season.
Reporter: Did 24 ever try to get you back?
Megalyn Echikunwoke: I think so, yeah. In the second season it was rumored, "Oh, we might want her." but....
( Speaking of The 4400 )
Reporter: How did you and Patrick Flueger get past the "ick" factor of Shawn bedding young, young Isabelle?

bin Laden
2011 News of the Year | Special Operations forces shot and killed Osama bin Laden
When two dozen U.S. Navy SEALs swooped into a walled compound in northern Pakistan after midnight on May 1, they took less than 40 minutes to end the decade-long hunt for the most wanted man on earth. In a third-story bedroom in the town of Abbottabad, the Special Operations forces shot and killed Osama bin Laden-the founder of the al-Qaeda terror network and the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks. The CIA-directed mission didn't just yield bin Laden. U.S. operatives also left the compound with troves of documents, computer drives, and other material that officials immediately began mining for intelligence. President Barack Obama praised the CIA and the U.S. military for "years of painstaking work" that led to bin Laden's capture. As throngs of celebrants gathered outside, he declared in a late-night press conference in the White House East Room: "Justice has been done."

A name tag, price sticker or tape can leave adhesive on cloth. This guide is about removing tape residue from clothing or fabric.
How can I remove the glue from a "My Name Is" sticker on a polyester shirt?
By Bernadette from NJ
A solvent that you can get at Home Depot: Goof Off. It removed all the adhesive left on a couple of hockey jerseys that I took the name bars off of in seconds.
I just voted and placed the I VOTED sticker on the lapel of my new polyester jacket only to find out it left a adhesive stain when I peeled it off later. My girlfriend suggested placing scotch tape across the area and pressing down with your finger then quickly ripping it off. Worked like a charm!
Use duct tape to take off the sticky stuff and then wash it to remove the residue.
Rub some cornstarch baby powder on it. Then brush off with a clothes brush, wash in warm water. Do not dryer dry unless you see it is off. If not, take a wet washcloth and rub it like you would a stain. Do not use any applications that would have an oil base to it. This will enhance the stain after the glue is off.
I searched on how to remove no sew tape residue from clothing. The easiest solution was the paper towel remedy. Just lay the paper towel over the residue and iron over it. Press down firmly and voila! No more residue. Simple is best!
How can I remove the paper and glue that is on fabric samples?
By Jean from OK
Dip a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol, then saturate the area with the liquid. Let the area sit for several minutes, then peel up the sticker residue. Good luck.
How do I remove adhesive residue remaining on fabric?
try rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover, but a product called GooGone or UnGu works best. You may have to wash the fabric after use the last two products.
My daughter put duck tape around the headrest in my car. I am trying to figure out how to take off the tape residue?
By Mirna S.
WD-40 might work.
I bought the shirt on eBay as, "new with tag". The same tag since the shirt sat on display for an entire golf season. There is a perfect ractangular tape strip discoloration where the adhesive attached the tag to the front of the shirt. What is the best way to remove this adhesive on the shirt without adding to my woes?
By Jeff
Take a q-tip (so you can be precise with what you are touching) and use nail polush remover, or the equivelant, like paint thinner or acetone. it will work, there is also goo gone.
I had a cardboard box with tape on it sitting on my car seat and it left marks on the seat. Can anybody help how to remove the tape residue? Thank you.
By Pavla from Cairns, QLD
Try using sos pads.
I used iron-on tape to put a piece of fabric on another piece of fabric. I put it on wanksrong and had to take it off. The fabric came off, but the glue stayed on. I can't get the glue off. Hope you can help.
By Marie C.
A product called Un-Du will remove the adhesive. It will also remove smeared hot glue. You can get it at any craft store. I have also seen it at Lowes. Hope this helps.
How do I remove tape residue from a sport shirt? The paper towel/iron method did not remove the stickiness. What else can I do?
By Marie
I once dropped a towel on a bug glue trap. I used baby oil to make the adhesive gummy enough to ball up, then used rubbing alcohol to clear up the oily-ness. That was just a towel and not a shirt I had to wear...
Use your best judgement before trying that on your sport shirt!
How do you get sticky tape off of nylon shorts?
By Tammy
Mayonnaise, ice & a scraper (paint). Or Ask Helowise, Good Housekeeping.com Good Luck. : )
I recently purchased a skirt but the manufacturer forgot to remove some masking tape around the hem. Now there is a slight sticky residue, but even worse, the fabric is discolored. I have tried soaking and washing with Woolite, but to no avail. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the stain? Thanks!
inkybinky from Canada
Thank you very much Lynda... I will try that!
I have gotten a black stain from hockey stick tape on a brand new white t-shirt. It got wet and the colors/dyes from it ran. What can I do to get it out? Keep in mind there is a fairly large logo on the front, however the stains are on the arm and the back.
Thanks for any help.
Revolution from Toronto (Canada)
Have you tried using something called "GOO BE GONE"? I use it on numerous things and hve never had it not work. I even had to use it on my dog. he got into a sticky trap, one used for mice, and it worked like a charm, and didn't hurt the dog at all. You can buy it almost anywhere. Also, you can try that oxyclean, again, I've used it on several occasions, it works great to get stains out of carpet, just make sure it doesn't damage the material you are using it on.

Full House Star Jodie Sweetin's Divorce Turns Ugly
It looks like things are not so sweet for Jodie Sweetin these days.
The former Full House star, who recently announced her split from third husband Morty Coyle, is how finding out yet again just how difficult divorce can be.
When Jodie filed for separation from Morty last month after only a year of marriage, she requested full custody of the couple's daughter, Beatrix.
Morty is now requesting that the judge grant him joint custody of the 2-year-old and deny his wife spousal support, according to TMZ.
While it never sounds like fun to end a marriage, this is far from Jodie's first time at the contentious divorce rodeo.
In 2006, Jodie and her first husband, police officer Shaun Holguin, divorced after he discovered that she was using crystal meth.
Two years later, Jodie filed for legal separation from her second husband, Cody Herpin, who accused her of being an unfit mother to their daughter, Zoie. Their divorce was finalized in 2010.
If there's any silver lining to be had here, at least this divorce sounds slightly less awful than the two that came before it!
Good luck, Jodie!

Classic or clunker?
When Rancho Bernardo's Hank Blalock hit the home run to win the 2003 All-Star Game, his Texas Rangers were 20 games back in the American League West. Do you really believe he would have preferred to have gone fishing?
CANEPA: Don't know. Maybe Hank doesn't like to fish. I'll have to ask my man, Ed Zieralski. Personally, I don't think the majority of the players care that they can get the home-field advantage with a win. Heck, there's bound to be a few who don't know they can.
The All-Star Game has become store-bought milk. It's homogenized. Interleague play has doomed this thing. There's no novelty to the Nationals playing the Americans anymore because they see each other during the season. That used to happen only during the World Series.
Think about it. A guy like Ernie Banks, a Hall of Famer, only saw American League pitching and hitting during the All-Star Game. It had to be more important to him. It also used to be that the great majority of the players didn't jump from league to league as they do now. Umpiring used to be different. Everything used to be different.
But not anymore. Everyone knows one another. There is no special feel to an All-Star Game. I hate to say it, but I'm more interested in the Home Run Derby (I like Chris Berman, you don't). As a kid, I didn't like the American League. I had a rooting interest. Now I don't care. On Tuesday nights, I'd much rather watch "NCIS."
SULLIVAN: When I was young and you were still an apprentice curmudgeon, the 1969 All-Star Game was played in Washington. It was the first All-Star Game I attended and the only time I would see Hank Aaron, Roberto Clemente and Willie Mays play in person. Forty years later, this remains a cherished memory.
Interleague play and the proliferation of sports television programming have robbed the All-Star Game of some of its novelty, but little of its allure. When the Yankees or the Red Sox come to town, it's still a big deal. The All-Star Game, invariably, is a bigger deal. Drop your jaded act for a moment and imagine the excitement of a young fan with a box seat Tuesday in St. Louis.
Last year's All-Star Game earned a higher Nielsen rating and a larger audience share than did the World Series. If you weren't watching, you missed out.

Hi chafer444,
At first, I should mention that AVG Anti-rootkit detects rootkit-like behavior. Some applications are using rootkit techniques for harmless purposes (copy protection, optical drive virtualization, ...). If you are using a virtualization software, please try uninstalling it temporarily to find out, whether the detection is not caused by it.
More information about rootkits can be found in this FAQ article:
What is rootkit?
If the cause of the detection is not apparent and is still coming back, we need more data (AVG scan logs and system environment overview) to be able to investigate this. The easiest way how to provide us with those is to use this specialized diagnostic utility. Please summarize the situation briefly before sending the data. The troubleshooting will continue via e-mail then.
Thank you.
I've noticed over the last week or so a virus that AVG 2013 will find and remove, but it only seems to stay gone for a day or two at most. The report says it's source is the Anti- Rootkit. Here is the name:
Inline hook ntoskrnl.exe_abnormal_termination+0x20B -> 0x55CE91E8
I did some looking on the Internet but didn't find this exact name. Can you tell me how to make this go way for good? Thanks

Losing mobile devices caused millions of people's personal and business data to fall into the wrong hands.
New research by Symantec found that in 2011 the most frequent cause of data breach which had the potential to result in identity theft was the loss or theft of mobile devices, this included smartphones, USB keys or backup technology.
The loss of data on these items had the potential to expose up to 18.5 million identities.
Furthermore, Symantec warned that as more people use tablets and smartphones as an integral part of their business, more identities will be at risk.
"Workers are bringing their smartphones and tablets into the corporate environment faster than many organisations are able to secure and manage them. This may lead to an increase in data breaches as lost mobile devices present risks to information if not properly protected," the report stated.
Steve Sarsfield, a data governance blogger and author, added that an increasingly connected world is generating even more data.

George Zimmerman to Be Released Any Minute
That's quite the revelation: the state investigator doesn't know who started the fight that led to the death of Trayvon Martin. Unless the state can convince a jury that Zimmerman initiated physical contact with Trayvon Martin, the prosecution doesn't stand a chance of securing his conviction on Second Degree murder. Oh, and about Zimmerman's statement. I find it incredible that the shooter followed the first rule of a Defensive Gun Use (STFU) and then decided to open his yap before the prosecution presented ANY evidence. I wonder if his lawyers opened that door, or simply failed to keep it shut. But I don't wonder why the media keeps using pics of a younger, angelic Martin.31

Why: Laurelwood Public House & Brewery is an option for weekend breakfasts. Menu items range from house-made Space Stout buttermilk biscuits to scrambles that include a house-made chorizo, as well as griddle selections served with brown sugar-cinnamon butter, and hazelnut-finished ham.
If you're coming from a different Clark County neighborhood, the quaint setting of Battle Ground Village is an added bonus to the experience. Outside the village, Main Street offers some one-of-a-kind shops.
Atmosphere: The spacious dining environment is inviting and comfortable. Warm wood tones, rust-colored walls, and an assortment of Old World-style lighting fixtures bring beauty and interest to the space. Intimate booths line the perimeter and tables and chairs fill in the open space. A loft area can be reserved for private use and patio dining is available, weather permitting. A few large-screen TVs provide entertainment. There is a small play area for children.
What I tried: I settled on the Traditional Space Stout biscuits and gravy with scrambled eggs, and my dining companion had the French toast with bacon. We also had coffee.
Laurelwood serves Portland Roasting coffee. The dark Colombian that was brewing on the morning of my visit had a rich, complex flavor, just short of what espresso offers — positively some of the best coffee I've had.
Our breakfasts were hot off the grill and quick to the table.
My dining companion thoroughly enjoyed his French toast, which was soft but not soggy and hinted of nutmeg. The brown sugar-cinnamon butter was a distinctive and agreeable addition to the classic French toast. The bacon was cooked to a soft finish instead of crispy.
My biscuits and gravy breakfast was equally satisfying. The biscuits were very dense and somewhat crumbly. The texture reminded me of cornbread. They had a light barley color and presented a slight presence of Laurelwood Space Stout. The gravy was smooth and creamy, mild in flavor and just a few bits of sausage were incorporated. The scrambled eggs were fully cooked without any slimy spots and left to my discretion to season.
Menu highlights beyond what I tried: The Battle Ground Scramble sounded perfect to satisfy a large appetite. Its three eggs are scrambled with bacon, sausage, hazelnut-finished ham, yellow onions, red and green bell peppers and cheddar, then piled atop two Space Stout buttermilk biscuits and smothered in sausage gravy.
Conversely, the caramelized oatmeal — creamy steel cut oats topped with caramelized cinnamon — from the a la carte selections sounded perfect to suit a smaller appetite.
Other observations: The waitstaff is attentive and friendly, the prices are comparable to other restaurant breakfasts and the quality is better than most.
Cost: A la carte items are $1.50 to $3. Breakfast scrambles are $7.95 to $12.95. Griddle options are $8.95 and $10.95. Specialty dishes including steak and eggs, chicken fried steak and eggs, and biscuits and gravy range from $8.95 to $16.95. Kids' breakfast selections are $4.50 and include a drink.
Hours: Breakfast is served 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday and Sunday only. The public house is open 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday. 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday. 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday.
Telephone: 360-723-0937.
Online: http://laurelwoodbrewpub.com.
Where: 1401 S.E. Rasmussen Blvd., Battle Ground.
Health score: Laurelwood received a perfect score of 0 on Aug. 24. Clark County Public Health closes restaurants that score 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

So we've just finished putting our shorts and socks on and now most hockey players will opt for their skates next.
Skates – Possibly the most expensive item of kit, hockey skates are obviously an important purchase. Having comfortable and well-supported skates is a must for hockey. I'm rocking some CCM skates currently and even at £65 they've been great to skate in. It's worth checking the descriptions before buying skates too as some of the cheaper pairs will slip in 'not suitable for hockey' despite looking the part. This is often because the bridge between the blades isn't strong enough to deal with impact or fast movement. Skates take a battering at times and you don't want to go breaking your ankle.
Price: Between £50 and £700
Shoulders – Not quite the shoulder pads your Mum wore in the 80's, these cover your chest plate area, upper arms and shoulders, and a large part of your back. They're far lighter than you anticipate when first wearing them but provide great coverage when a puck is smashed at you. At my level we aren't taking big hits regularly so my Warrior pads have been a good buy.
Price: Between £25 and £70
Elbows – One of the only legal requirements for playing recreational ice hockey in the UK. Elbow pads protect you from collisions with other players and the sideboards, but most importantly they cushion any falls onto the ice. You'd be surprised at how quickly you fall at times and often you have little control over your elbows. Again I'm wearing Warrior pads here (I'm not sponsored, honestly) and these have done the job. I've also noticed that my elbow pads are a great help when climbing over the bench late in a session. I can really put my weight into my elbows as I shift my tired legs over.
Price: Between £15 and £50
Gloves – My vote for hardest item to adapt to, hockey gloves offer limited movement between the fingers and it takes some getting used to. They cover your hand and cuff area, with different lengths available depending on your preference. I go long to avoid any contact with my wrists but this can reduce my stick handling at times. Hockey gloves will often wear down in the palm and you'll notice your stick tape leaving a mark here.
Price: Between £20 and £70
Helmet – No prizes for guessing what this is for. Helmets aren't particularly comfortable but they'll save your life. You'll notice that you can get open fronted helmets, helmets with a half visor, helmets with a full face visor, helmets with a cage. Once you're 21 or older this is really down to personal choice, with it being a rule to wear a full visor or cage as a youth player. Hockey players look their teeth so as a beginner I'm wearing a half visor / half cage combo. The visor allows me a clear line of sight, whilst the cage gives me more protection on my jaw. It feels safe and has already helped cushion one particularly brutal slip on the ice. You'll notice that those with an exposed jaw will often, or at least they should, wear a gum shield too.
Price: Between £50 and £150
Stick – This can say a lot about a hockey player, as sticks can come in all materials, lengths, blade curves, and colours. Cheaper sticks will be made of wood with a fiberglass covering over the blade, whereas the more expensive options will be aluminium or a composite material. They're loosely L shaped and this is broken down into a shaft, the part you hold, and the blade. Both parts will often be covered in generous amounts of hockey tape, a fabric based material that protects the stick on the blade and gives your hands a better grip on the shaft. As a beginner I'm using a wooden bezerker stick with a fairly pronounced curve on my blade. It's supposed to give my shots more movement but I've yet to really nail that!
Price: Between £15 and £300
So that's it for the average players. It takes around 20 minutes to put on, and considerably less time to take it all off again. The key once taking it off is getting it dried and aired as soon as possible – the longer you leave it the earlier it starts to smell of old sweat and damp and that's never a pleasant session. I tend to head home and hang my kit up on a clotheshorse, spray it with Fabreeze, and turn a portable fan on. It's kept the smells away for the last seven months so it's worth trying.

CORNELIUS – Firewater Restaurant and Bar sits in the far corner of The Shops on the Green.
The space has been occupied by many restaurants, most of which have quickly shuttered their doors. Now the space finally has owners with the experience and restaurant knowledge to make it work.
"We feel like this restaurant has the Curse of the Bambino," admits co-owner Ahmad Mohammad. "But so far, we've had success with the customers."
So Firewater looks to hit a home run and create a permanent home providing another tasty dining option.
Mohammad has been in the Charlotte-area restaurant business for 30 years. He has worked at restaurants such as Red Rocks, Bentley's Restaurant, Cosmos and Bonfire Bar & Grill, just to name a few.
Shawn Wheeler is a former Charlotte Checkers player and coach. He works in pharmaceutical sales.
These two men had been friends since Ahmad worked at Bentley's and Wheeler would come in after playing hockey.
In 2012, the two began a company called Three Moes along with silent partner and local radio personality DJ Stout. Then in December 2012, they opened Firewater in the University City area of Charlotte with a high-end menu featuring favorites with inventive twists.
The partners opened this Firewater in November 2013 and are just weeks away from opening up a third location in Salisbury.
The Cornelius Firewater spans an impressive 6,000-plus square feet of open space complete with two projection screens, columns and a nifty, modern bar.
The menu is about to change to fit the more casual atmosphere of the lake with more family-friendly fare. The menu is full of homemade items and strives for the freshest produce and meat available.
Nothing is pre-made. All food is made after it is ordered, so allergies or preferences are no problem. They make all the sauces, marinara and desserts from scratch. Mohammad has even started his own herb garden in the back so he can add to the flavor of the food.
Firewater caters to all types of people and experiences, but will especially focus on a laid-back atmosphere and comfort food. Customers can come in for $2 tacos on Tuesday nights; all-you-can-eat crab legs on Wednesday nights and Open Mic night on Thursday nights.
"Our menu changes with the clientele," Wheeler said. "We offer lunch, then entrées for dinner and then there are always the appetizers for later in the evening."
There is also a nicely laid out kid's menu with burgers, pizza and quesadillas.
Mohammad and Wheeler have created an excellent restaurant that is enjoyable for customers and staff alike. They are using social media and word of mouth to get the word out and let customers know they are open.
"We want to be the neighborhood place here in Cornelius," Mohammad said.
It looks like the curse might finally be broken and the gorgeous space can house a solid restaurant. The combination of restaurant expertise and excellent food create a can't-miss formula.
"It truly is where food and fun meet," Wheeler said.
Want to go? Firewater Restaurant and Bar, 20930 Torrence Chapel Road, 704-895-7907.

Eva naked requestEva Longoria has demanded the 'Desperate Housewives' directorsstop filming her scantily-clad so much.
The petite brunette - who plays cheating Gabrielle Solis in the hit US series - is fed up with being constantly filmed in the nude and has begged show bosses to cut her sexy scenes to a minimum.
She said: "It's nerve-racking! I'm constantly going, 'Are you shooting from up here or here? Where's the camera again?'
"I didn't realize how much lingerie I'd be in and how much time I'd spend in the bathtub. I had to ask the director, 'Can you please stop putting me in the bathtub?'"
However, Eva - who stars opposite Michael Douglas in upcoming movie 'The Sentinel' - says she will play sexy characters as long as she is young and pretty enough to do so.
The 31-year-old actress added: "I'm going to do sexy as long as I can. Women have an expiry date in this business."

Dude looks like a lady.
Sharing a house with four girls has brought Jeremy Calvert deeply in touch with his feminine side. Earlier this week, the new dad was caught on camera wearing one of his wife's tops while folding laundry, and as revenge for his nosy online habits, Leah posted the pic to their joint Facebook page. "For all the times Jeremy hacked my stuff!" the "Teen Mom 2" cast member wrote.
Sadly, it looks like Jeremy's dreams of being a bearded lady may have to be put on hold, because while the blue off-the-shoulder number may accent his muscular torso (looks like someone's been hitting the gym!), it's probably not appropriate for work. Too much skin!
On another note: While it's great to see Jeremy try to better understand his wife — you never fully understand someone until you walk a mile in their shoes, or fold clothes in their shirt — she might not be too thrilled if he starts borrowing her jewelry. Stick to flannels and baseball caps, Jer.

Hello Forum - can anyone tell me what this is? My friend was given it in a pot and it looks like a tree of some sort. Its never flowered. Thanks in advance
I had 24 blooms on my potted agapanthus this year and agree with sotongeoff that neglect seems to be the key. The pot is in a very sunny spot and the only treatment they got was plenty of water during the hot spell.
Can somebody please tell me what's up with my very mature strawberry tree? Well I think its a strawberry tree - small red strawberry type fruits. The tree was already mature when we moved here about 16 years ago and for the last couple of years, I've noticed branches of dead leaves (see photo). Some branches are sprouting new leaves so I'm not sure whether its a natural process and I cut out the dead bits, or is it reaching the end of its natural life?

I just got a message in my Google Voice inbox from this number. 5/23/13 at 9:06 AM. The message has nothing on it but I can hear the phone being fiddled with and there is a rooster crowing occasionally in the background. Perhaps the owner owns chickens or is in a farming area.
They said hello a couple of times, and sounded confused, or like they could not hear me. When I called back it gave the tone that the phone was disconnected, then the recording came on that said this phone has been disconnected, or no longer in service.

Also, local light pollution/trespass laws?
Posted 07 July 2013 - 10:25 AM
Never had a problem after that. Try knocking on your neighbor's door at midnight. Tell them their light is so bright you can't sleep even with your blinds closed. Chances are if you're up late at night watching the stars then they aren't. After a few nights they will get the hint. I did that with our neighbors behind us once. They stopped turning their "prison light" on. If you don't want to pound on their door at midnight then look up your local lighting ordinances and call the police late at night. Tell them the light is in violation of code XYZ and show the cop the law. I've done similar things before when we filed online complaints against neighbors for various code infringements. After a visit from the local police they changed their behavior.
Posted 07 July 2013 - 10:26 AM
You say that the neighbors are well aware that you observe often; however, are they completely aware of their lights diminishing your usage of the scope? Unless this is discussed upfront, many do not realize what affect lights have on our viewing. When you've shared your scope with them, did you openly discuss LP?
This appears to be very childish, to say the least and may excalate against you. Just because we have a hobby that requires as little light as possible, does not mean that everyone around us has to abide by our wants. Retaliation rarely brings the desired affect one wants. If there is a LP ordinance in your area, go that route, rather than adding more LP. Or find a dark site for observing to relieve the hostility that you feel towards your neighbors.

Seeing that they already know you are a star gazer have you ever thought about hosting a neighborhood meeting/bbq with the intent of discussing L.P.?
What I'm trying to say here is that retaliation doesn't solve a thing. It will only send your blood pressure up.
It sounds like you've built up a fine name in your neighborhood, don't ruin it, use it.

If you don't want your neighbors doing that to you then don't do it to them. Even in retaliation.
Seeing that they already know you are a star gazer have you ever thought about hosting a neighborhood meeting/bbq with the intent of discussing L.P.?
Agreed. People who just don't "get it" won't understand what you are doing. They will think you're just joining the light prison club and love throwing money at your electric company. Chances are what you are doing will not work. You'll get frustrated and they'll stay being dumb. As I get older I realize that saying "some people are just stupid" isn't politically incorrect: it's the truth.

He keeps it on all night every Night, it is a Sign,
It is 6'X 7' and about a thousand watts. I asked him why he has it on all night long? He stated " The previous owner did
so I am too for advertising" We live in a small Iowa town of Approx 400 most over 60, i dont think ha needs advertising. He said he just leaves it on 24/7 because he isn't about to come out and shut it off for me.
I bought a tarp and cover it! I got the OK from him first. Asking nicely got him to let me with no problem.
Going about a resolution any other way is just going to Kindle Hattfiels vs MCcoy #2...
It is a pain but my past neighbors have all shut their lights off for me while observing if I called them.
They are basically insecure and having someone out in the yard at Night is much more effective than any light to detour the bad guys .. Using that approach works very well!

Excellent way to go about it.
What drives me nuts is a radio commercial that is asking people to protect their homes by locking doors, trim shrubs etc. Then the last thing the ad recommends is installing bright outdoor lighting to deter burgulars!

So I've been unofficially accepted into the MAT program at CBU here in Memphis.
I sent in all of my application materials, had my letters of recommendation, transcripts, and essays submitted last week (I may be missing one for the BASE-TN grant, but I can find someone else to write one for me, if necessary), and just received word via email earlier today that I needed to schedule an appointment for my interview. So it was to be a week from today at 11:45am. Fabulous!
A scant few hours later, I was told that my interview was waived, since the department head knows me (I also took a graduate-level course with her my last year of college…it happened to be in special education, and I got an "A").
I still have to submit a "spontaneous writing sample" via email at my original appointment time, but they canceled my interview to freakin' graduate school based on what I can only assume is the fact that I went out of my way to ask a zillion questions when I went there in early Spring to ask about the program in the first place.
As pleased as I am (and I AM very pleased – I hate interviews with a passion), I can't help but me MORE nervous, because there's this expectation, now. It's one that I hope to be able to live up to, and one that I'm very happy they have of me…trust me, I'd prefer to have a lot expected of me than very little…but wow, y'all. No pressure or anything.
Anyway, classes begin, I believe, on the 20th of August. I have to have my financial aid sussed out before then, and that's going to be tricky, especially if I don't get the grant.
In a month, given that all goes well, I will be attending a brick-and-mortar graduate school on my way to becoming a special education teacher (with secondary mathematics to fall back upon, of course).
Nervous? Me? Naaaaah. :-)

OSRP Holiday Deadline Reminder
Revised Routing Sheet and Proposal Submissions
Research Equipment Sharing Corner
OSRP Holiday Deadline Reminder
Just a reminder, as previously announced via campus email to all faculty. The Illinois Institute of Technology, including the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs, will be closed from December 26, 2005 through January 2, 2006.The OSRP deadline for all items with deadlines between December 16, 2005 and January 6, 2006 is Friday, December 16th, in order to allow sufficient time for submission. If you have any questions please contact us at 312 567-3035 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Revised Routing Sheet and Proposal Submissions
Due to the increasing compliance requirements by federal and non-federal sponsors, we have revised the internal routing sheet ("Request for Review and Approval of Proposal").
Effective October 1, 2005 , this routing sheet must be completed and signed prior to proposal submission. The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs will not submit proposals received without the routing sheet. You can find the revised routing sheet on our website at: http://www.grad.iit.edu/research/OSRP/routingsheet.html
Proposal submissions continue to be on an upward trend (348 in FY03, 408 in FY04 and 435 in FY05). Many funding agencies are requiring that proposals be submitted via their specialized electronic system. Not all sponsors use the same systems. In addition, some electronic systems have required additional processing steps and software which are subject to delays due to server problems and/or internet connection problems.
The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs is committed to providing high-quality service. Therefore, we are requiring that final and COMPLETED proposals be submitted to the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs (OSRP) as follows:
Agencies requiring the submission of hard copy proposals:
Close of business, three (3) business days prior to the funding agency deadline
Agencies requiring electronic submission:
Close of business, two (2) business days prior to the funding agency deadline
Any proposal not received by these deadlines stands the risk of not being sent. In addition, if OSRP is still able to submit the proposal, without having adequate time for review, the proposal may be administratively withdrawn if later review indicates that the proposal is non-compliant with IIT and/or funding agency policies and procedures.
Please note that all administrative portions of ANY proposal must be finalized a MINIMUM of five (5) business days before funding agency's deadline date . Administrative portions include:
- budget and justification
- current and pending support
- facilities and resources
- biosketches
- representations and certifications
- subcontracting negotiations
- compliance issues such as human or animal subject involvement, biosafety
- cost share and match (which is the responsibility of the PI to secure)
If you are planning a proposal submission (including pre-proposals, new submissions, continuations, renewals, and supplemental proposals), we ask that you inform OSRP about your intention to develop a proposal as soon as possible. Information, such as the funding agency, deadline for submission and a copy of the guidelines (or a website to obtain them directly), is essential.
Assistance with budgetary preparation, completion of agency forms, and questions regarding agency guidelines is available. OSRP also duplicates and mails proposals to the agency.
Research Equipment Sharing Corner
Research equipment is expensive, but sharing it reduces costs and helps the IIT research enterprise. Sometimes, faculty join together as a group to submit a proposal for extramural funding for research equipment. If you are interested in such an effort, please know that ORCPD would be happy to help broadcast your intentions and will help you seek others who would be interested in participating with you.
Please check out current equipment and announce what you have to share.Recent IIT Awards

Dorcatragus megalotis
|Scientific Name:
|Dorcatragus megalotis
|Species Authority:
|(Menges, 1894)
Common Name(s):
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable C1 ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Heckel, J.-O., Rayaleh, H.A., Wilhelmi, F. & Hammer, S.
|Mallon, D.P. & Chardonnet, P. (Antelope Red List Authority)
Listed as Vulnerable as the population is <10,000 mature individuals and is estimated to decline by at least 10% over three generations (16.5 years) as a result of drought, overgrazing by domestic livestock and some hunting.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Endemic to northeast Africa. Most of the distribution area lies in northern Somalia [Somaliland], from the Nogaal Valley northwards. Full details of the distribution are unclear, but from historical and recent information the remaining core areas of the population are: Asse hills-Lahan Sheik, Garoowe area (Bur Cobohille), Wagar, Buuraha and Golis mountains, Araweina, Ali Haidh and Guban region. Between these locations, occasional sightings have been reported (Moustapha Elmi 1992, Giotto et al. in press).
The species' existence in Djibouti was only confirmed in 1993, when they were observed on hillsides at two sites in the southeast, close to the borders with Somalia and Ethiopia (Künzel and Künzel 1998). Recent surveys have shown that the area of distribution in Djibouti is about 250 km² and located in the mountainous Ali Sabieh - Arrey - Assamo region (Künzel et al. 2000, Laurent et al. 2001, Heckel et al. 2004).
In Ethiopia, the species is known from the Marmar mountains along the border with north-west Somalia (Bolton 1973). No recent information is available on its status in this part of the country, where large numbers of armed pastoralists and their livestock now reside. There is no evidence of their occurrence in the Ogaden region (Wilhelmi 1997, Wilhelmi et al. 2006).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Ethiopia; Somalia
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|In the 1980s it still occupied large parts of its historical range, but in greatly reduced numbers. East (1999) estimated the population at 7,000 [though fewer mature individuals] based on the assumption that a population density of 0.2 /km² applied throughout the species' range, and that its area of occupancy is about 35,000 km². Most occur in northern Somalia, which has been relatively unaffected by the civil/military conflicts in the rest of the country. Its numbers may be decreasing in some parts of its range where settlement is expanding and livestock densities are high, but its populations are probably stable in areas with few settlements.
In Djibouti, the total population has been estimated at between 50 and 150 individuals (Künzel and Künzel 1998, Laurent et al. 2001, Heckel et al. 2004). In Djibouti, Beira are restricted to a limited area and likely decreasing in number due to desertification by overgrazing and disturbance from an incoming population of refugees. In Somalia, animals underwent a marked decline in number during the 1975 drought (Simonetta 1988).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Beira frequent rocky or stony hillsides, rarely steep slopes, where the dominant vegetation is a woody steppe of mixed Acacia scrub (Giotto et al. in press).
|Major Threat(s):
|Drought, habitat deterioration as a result of overgrazing by domestic livestock, uncontrolled hunting and cutting of woodland and scrub for charcoal exports to the Gulf area (Moustapha Elmi 1992, East 1999). However, the Beira's small size, wariness, and the vegetated rocky habitat it prefers have apparently enabled it to avoid heavy hunting pressure.
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no protected areas within beira range or active in-situ conservation programmes for the species. There is a successful captive- breeding population at Al Wabra, Qatar.

"New Political Thinking"
and Soviet Policy
Toward Regional Conflict
in the Middle East: The Gulf Wars
Stephen Page
The ideas that have come to be known as "new political thinking" in Soviet foreign policy were formulated as an attempt to manage the impending decline of Soviet capabilities (compared to those of the United States and the West in general) in such a way as to leave the U.S.S.R. with great power roles to play in the world but with reduced expenditure of resources. Foreign policy was acknowledged to be dominated by domestic considerations, the most important of which was the need to revive the Soviet economy; this was thought to require the help of the advanced industrial states, which in turn could be assured only by the creation of a stable international environment.
New political thinking affected all aspects of Soviet foreign policy, but much of it was related either explicitly or indirectly to Soviet policy regarding regional conflict in the Third World. New thinkers accepted the fact and implications of the security dilemma in Third World regions and adopted the view that security must be mutual. 1 This ruled out military solutions to disputes in favor of political, negotiated solutions that reflected a balance of interests among disputing parties. It was possible to favor political solutions because mainstream opinion now accepted that conflict (whether inter-state or intra-state) stemmed largely from indigenous factors--ethnic cleavages, religion, tribalism, and/or nationalism. The old explanations--colonialism and imperialism--were played down by the new thinkers. Deideologizatsiia was the order of the day.
This change in official thinking not only legitimized the pragmatism that has usually been at the base of Soviet Third World policy but also positively encouraged Moscow's abandonment of national liberation and socialist ori-

John Szarkowski
John Szarkowski (December 18, 1925 – July 7, 2007) was a photographer, curator, historian, and critic.[1] From 1962 to 1991 Szarkowski was the Director of Photography at New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).[2]
Early life and career[edit]
He was born and grew up in the small northern Wisconsin city of Ashland, and became interested in photography at age eleven. In World War II Szarkowski served in the U.S. Army, after which he graduated in 1947 in Art History from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He then began his career as a museum photographer at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis.
At this time he was also a practicing art photographer; he had his first solo show at the Walker Art Center in 1949, the first of a number of solo exhibitions. In 1954 Szarkowski received the first of two Guggenheim Fellowships, resulting in the book The Idea of Louis Sullivan (1956). Between 1958 and 1962, he returned to rural Wisconsin. There, he undertook a second Guggenheim fellowship in 1961, researching into ideas about wilderness and the relationship between people and the land.
Museum of Modern Art[edit]
In 1962, he was picked by Edward Steichen to be Steichen's successor at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
In 1973 Szarkowski published Looking at Photographs a practical set of examples on how to write about photographs.[2] The book is still required reading for students of art photography, and argues for the importance of looking carefully and bringing to bear every bit of intelligence and understanding possessed by the viewer. Szarkowski has also published numerous books on individual photographers, including, with Maria Morris Hamburg, the definitive four-volume work on the photography of Atget.
He wrote Mirrors and Windows: American Photography Since 1960 (1978) describing photography which dichotomized two strategies of pictoral expression. The 'Mirror' strategy focuses on self-expressive photography and the 'Window' element in which photographers like Garry Winogrand, Diane Arbus, and Lee Friedlander leave their comfort zone to explore.
He taught at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and New York University, and continued to lecture and teach. In 1990, U.S. News & World Report said: "Szarkowski's thinking, whether Americans know it or not, has become our thinking about photography".[3]
In 1991 Szarkowski retired from his post at the MoMA, during which he had developed a reputation for being somewhat autocratic,[citation needed] and became the Museum's Photography Director Emeritus. He was succeeded by Peter Galassi, the Chief Curator.
In retirement, Szarkowski served on the boards of several of the mutual funds sold by Dreyfus Corporation. Szarkowski returned to making his own photographic work, mostly attempting to picture a spirit of place in the American landscape. In 2005 he had several major solo exhibitions across the USA. The first retrospective of his work was exhibited at MOMA in early 2006.[4]
Szarkowski died from complications of a stroke on July 7, 2007 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, aged 81.[5]

Headstone finally placed on unmarked grave of 'Little Rascals' star Chubby Chaney
BALTIMORE — Fans of the "Little Rascals" film series were in Baltimore this weekend to place a headstone at the grave of child actor Norman "Chubby" Chaney.
Chaney's grave had been unmarked for 76 years since he died at age 21. Chaney was paid a weekly salary when he appeared in the films between 1929 and 1931. But he didn't receive any royalties or residual payments and returned to Baltimore when he grew out of the role. The Baltimore Sun reported Sunday that he struggled with his weight as a teenager. When he died, his mother couldn't afford a headstone for his grave.
The series was known as "Our Gang" when it was shown in theatres and later as the "Little Rascals" on television.

We haven't seen much from German car maker Wiesmann for a few years now, but the company is back with the Roadster MF5 V10 Black Bat – good name, right? Along with the epic name is a rather superb engine. The Black Bat gets the BMW M5 V10 engine with just under 600bhp – which is probably enough, considering it's a roadster.
The sprint to 0-62mph comes in just 3.5 seconds and the top end is claimed to be over 200mph. So it's got the speed, the name and the matt-black menacing looks, but would you buy one? Well, Wiesmann is yet to announce the price for the Bat, so it's hard to say but i'd imagine most of us would need a little car finance to help us out. For less than £110,000, most definitely yes, but if they want more, then that's going to be a tricky decision, as there is cars like the V10 Audi R8 to consider.
One thing is sure, though; the little red Bat symbol at the rear looks a lot like the Batman symbol… is that a lawsuit impending?

August 2007 - Singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile is a superstar in training. She was aptly named "one of ten artists to watch" by Rolling Stone in 2005. The past few months have found her playing sold out solo shows across the country, touring with fellow folk-rockers, the Indigo Girls, and enjoying the success of having the first video from her sophomore album, The Story, debut on the hit television night-time soap, Grey's Anatomy.
Not only is Brandi talented, she's smart and discerning too. She loves playing her Luna black acoustic Phoenix. "Because of the size, it's easy to take on the bus," Brandi says. "And because the action is so low I end up writing a lot with it."
We're thrilled to report that the Luna acoustic Phoenix is a hit with Brandi Carlile - and helping her to write hits as well.

Despite recently announcing its status as an official publisher for Xbox 360, Telltale Games today announced that it will release Jurassic Park: The Game simultaneously on the PlayStation 3. The episodic interactive game will launch for both systems this fall.
According to the official press release, Telltale will release a retail copy of the Xbox 360 version, but it's unclear if the PS3 version is only coming out on the PlayStation Network. Jurassic Park: The Game marks the first release as part of Telltale Games' Publisher Licensing Agreement with Microsoft. We've contacted Telltale Games to find out if the PS3 version will get a retail release.
The game was slated for release on PC and Mac this month, but was recently delayed until the fall to "maximize the quality of the game experience."

The World Vaccines Market Is Predicted...
If you're Serious about Investing in...
Researchers Are Developing Ways to Edit...
To Know Where Biosimilars Are Going,...
If you have any doubts about the quality of this database, take comfort in the fact that its creators are from the Best Institute for Medical Research (no joke) at the University of Toronto. This database presents the protein content of six organs (liver, lung, placenta, brain, heart, and kidney) in the mouse, which is further characterized by cellular compartment (cytosol, membranes, mitochondrion, nucleus). How did the researchers do this, you ask? Through a lot of work. Just reading about their "exhaustive mass spectrometry-based shotgun sequencing" made my head hurt. The result is comprehensive and nicely organized, with numerous ways to search and sort the information. There is also a BLAST feature whereby one can input an amino acid sequence and search the database. All in all, it's a useful tool for researchers.
