SCI FI Channel has greenlit the all-new, world-traveling reality series
"Destination Truth," it was announced by Mark Stern, EVP,
Original Programming, SCI FI Channel at the Television Critics Press

Destination Truth (6 1-hour episodes) is a weekly adventure series that invites viewers along on one man's search for the truth while investigating stories of the unexplained across the globe. Josh Gates, a world adventurer and eager truth-seeker.
Every week, Josh and his small crew of production buddies visits a different destination around the world that is home to notorious, supernatural and mysterious stories, such as the Fire Worm of Mongolia and the Chilean Chupacabra. As well as some lesser-known phenomena like the dinosaur-like creatures reported in the skies over Papua, New Guinea, a haunted village in Thailand, or the wolfman of Argentina. Josh searches for evidence to either prove or debunk these stories by talking to witnesses and experts and immersing himself in the local culture.

Wow, what young Republican wanna be TV executive came up with this piece of crap? This is the worst paranormal spin extremism to make all paranormal investigations look like a total joke. This is not a reality series, because they are (supposedly) tracking down the worst documented, least believable stories on the planet. Ruport Murdoch would be proud.

The Cuts: A Crisis Wasted
Osborne and Cameron's spending plans are both painful and timid.
The blueprint for the British government's long-awaited spending cuts is in at last. Just how savage is it? Between now and 2015, Her Majesty's government proposes to raise spending by £43 billion. What has been touted as the most draconian exercise in government downsizing that the West has seen in a generation turns out to be anything but.
Granted, when adjusted for inflation the plan does cut spending by an estimated 3.6% over the next five years. That would bring public spending to about 40% of GDP, from the current near-50% that it is today. That level was last seen in 2008, just prior to the financial crisis. Readers not yet suffering from short-term memory loss may recall that in May of that year, then-opposition leader David Cameron gave a speech indicating he was dissatisfied with that norm. "Simplistic lists of cuts," he said, would not bring Britain's finances into line. Instead, he argued, "we need to think far more deeply about the role of the state."
By the time Mr. Cameron took office this May, Britain's deficit had swollen to more than 11% of GDP from roughly 3% two years earlier. It seemed possible that the fiscal crisis would give Mr. Cameron and his Chancellor George Osborne an opportunity to translate that re-think into what many have promised but few have achieved: a smaller government.
Yesterday that opportunity faded. Wednesday's 106-page spending review doesn't fall under the category of "simplistic," but it does add up to a list of cuts in some areas of government to counteract increases in others. Hefty cuts include a 26% decrease in contributions to local councils by 2015, a 24% cut to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and a 24% cut to the Department of Media and Sport.
The Ministry of Defense's budget will shrink by 7.5%—modest if you compare it to the cuts at some other departments. But as elsewhere, the approach to military spending seems to suffer from the lack of a coherent strategic vision, despite a six-month review. The Harrier fleet will be retired now, even though its replacement, the Joint Strike Fighter, won't be available for a decade. Two aircraft carriers will be built, but only one will be kept in service, and the other will likely never carry an aircraft.
If Messrs. Cameron and Osborne stick to their plan, and if Britain's economy continues to recover, they may succeed in slashing the budget deficit to 1.1% of GDP by 2016. That would be an accomplishment. But what's missing from their blueprint is any commitment to the new philosophy Mr. Cameron once promised. Wednesday's review, despite its many line-item reductions, does little to advance the cause of rethinking the role of the state, to say nothing of reducing it.
In some areas, the government will be inserting itself further into the affairs of its citizens under the new spending plans. For instance, Mr. Osborne yesterday announced £1 billion for a "green investment bank," the better for the government to do what it keeps calling on private financiers to do. It will also spend up to £1 billion to create a "commercial scale carbon capture and storage demonstration project," though the very term "commercial scale" prompts the question of why commercial organizations aren't funding it themselves. The same goes for the government's more than £200 million for wind-power generation and other "green" investments.
This brand of "austerity" is all the more notable because, in a sense, the advertising proved true: Compared to most of its European brethren and certainly to the U.S., the U.K. is embarking on one of the world's sharpest cutoffs from the recent deficit-spending explosion, which is likely to mean nearly a half-million public-sector job losses over the next five years.
The best—and only—way to compensate for the pain of those cuts and job losses is to create the conditions for robust private sector growth by improving the conditions on the supply side. Greater spending discipline may calm the sovereign-debt markets, but it won't fundamentally change business conditions in the country.
If Messrs. Cameron and Osborne want to be remembered for more than austerity and cuts, they will have to do more than return to Labour's pre-crisis status quo.

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures.

When it was announced that Oscar-winner Sam Mendes, a man best known for prestige pictures like "American Beauty" and "Revolutionary Road," would be directing the new James Bond film, it was generally seen as something of a curveball. And if anyone was expecting business as usual for the franchise (especially after the poorly-received "Quantum of Solace"), they were mistaken. While previous entries have been made up of acclaimed, but relatively small names like Mads Mikkelsen and Mathieu Amalric, Mendes has stacked his deck with a host of award winners.
Joining Daniel Craig and Judi Dench for the new installment, rumored to be titled "Skyfall," were Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes, both Oscar-lauded actors a few steps above the usual Bond villain names, while much-praised stage actors like Ben Whishaw, Naomie Harris, Helen McCrory and Rory Kinnear (who appeared in "Quantum of Solace" as M's right-hand man, but will have a bumped-up role this time out) are also on board, along with relative newcomer Berenice Marlohe, who'll play the Bond girl. And they've been joined by another acting legend, one with recent experience in the spy genre.
Baz Bamigboye, who's been the first stop for casting on the project throughout, reports that the great Albert Finney joined the cast for a recent table read and has landed "a reasonably big role" as a higher-up at the British Foreign Office, and M (Judi Dench)'s superior. Finney is, obviously, a much-lauded star of stage and screen with a career stretching back over 50 years, and is a five-time Oscar-nominee, most recently a decade ago for "Erin Brokovich."
He's been away from the screen for almost five years, battling prostate cancer, but 2012 will see him pull a double-header in the two big spy franchises, as he's also reprising his role as creepy Mengele-esque mastermind Dr. Albert Hirsch in Tony Gilroy's "The Bourne Legacy," having already appeared in the last installment, 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum." Our guess is that his Bond role is the one that Mendes was pursuing "The Deep Blue Sea" star Simon Russell Beale for, until the actor had to step out of the running due to stage commitments in London.
Considering the wealth of talent involved and a script by "The Aviator" and "Coriolanus" scribe John Logan (who Bamigboye reports is being courted for future films), this is certainly the most eagerly anticipated Bond flick in years, which is fitting, as the film will be released almost exactly 50 years after the first movie, "Dr. No.." Shooting finally begins next week, and there is a press conference scheduled at Pinewood Studios so we're expecting a few more details -- and perhaps the official title -- will arrive at that time. "James Bond 23" hits theaters on November 9, 2012 (with a European release coming two weeks earlier).

Om Namah Bhagavate Vasudevaya.
I would like to offer my Pranam(respect) to Bhagavat Dharma Das and Siddhanta Das who trained me personally as well as the teachers who taught me through their books.
I hope that my teachings will be beneficial for body and mind and bring inspiration in spiritual journeys.
Here is my favorite poem I would like to share with everybody.
Take care.
Song of the soul
I am neither ego nor reason, I am neither mind nor thought
I cannot be heard nor cast into words, nor by smell nor sight ever caught:
In light and wind I am not found, nor yet in earth and sky-
Consciousness and joy incarnate, Bliss of the bliss I am.
I cast aside hatred and passion; I conquered delusion and greed;
No touch of pride caressed me, so envy never did breed:
Beyond all faiths, past reach of wealth, past freedom, past desire,
Consciousness and joy am I, and bliss is my attire.

Jumbo in Navy!!
I bought this Chanel Jumbo from a purse lover. She either was the second owner or the original owner of the purse. Anyway, she's practically brand new when I got her. I just adore navy blue so much. It is just dark enough as a black purse but when you see it under the sun light it has this marvelous blue hue to it.

GLASGOW, Scotland, July 27. THE oldest Commonwealth Games record in the book took a tumble as Tracey Wickham's historic 800 free mark from 1978 was erased by Jazz Carlin during day four prelims.
Women's 200 back
Canada's Hilary Caldwell opened the fourth day right with a swift swim of 2:09.47 in the 200-meter backstroke qualifying heats. That performance vaulted her to 11th in the world rankings against a stacked field. England's Ellie Simmonds, who is sixth in the world with a 2:08.91, took second in 2:10.81. Belinda Hocking of Australia, the top-ranked swimmer in the world with a 2:06.40 from the NSW State Championships, charged to third in qualifying in 2:11.07.
Here are your finalists:
Canada's Hilary Caldwell – 2:09.47
England's Ellie Simmonds – 2:10.81
Australia's Belinda Hocking – 2:11.07
Australia's Emily Seebohm – 2:11.47
Australia's Madi Wilson – 2:11.53
Canada's Genevieve Cantin – 2:11.59
Canada's Sinead Russell – 2:12.78
England's Lauren Quigley – 2:13.45
Men's 50 breast
England's Adam Peaty scorched his prelim swim in the sprint breaststroke, breaking the British record in the process. Peaty clocked a time of 27.00, slamming his previous national record of 27.19 set during the Canet stop of the Mare Nostrum circuit. With today's swim, he vaults from fifth in the world to second in the event behind only Christian Sprenger's top-ranked 26.74 from the Australian Nationals. With Sprenger nursing a shoulder injury, Peaty has to be considered the odds-on favorite in the event now.
Sprenger, meanwhile, still managed to make the semis with a fifth-seeded effort of 27.57, while South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh posted a 27.39 for the second seed. Van der Burgh has been faster this year with a now third-ranked 27.05 from South African Nationals.
Here are your semifinalists:
England's Adam Peaty – 27.00
South Africa's Cameron van der Burgh – 27.39
Scotland's Ross Murdoch – 27.44
New Zealand's Glenn Snyders – 27.45
Australia's Christian Sprenger – 27.57
Scotland's Mark Tully – 27.77
Scotland's Joe Welstead – 27.90
Wales' Rob Holderness – 27.93
Canada's Richard Funk – 28.02
India's Sandeep Sejwal – 28.17
England's James Wilby – 28.36
South Africa's Brad Tandy – 28.57
Jersey's Ian Black – 28.64
Ireland's Michael Dawson – 28.92
Bahamas' Dustin Tynes – 29.08
Australia's Kenneth To – 29.17
Women's 100 free
Australia's Cate Campbell, likely out for some retribution after losing the 50 free to Fran Halsall, blasted prelims with a 53.20. That was nearly a second ahead of everyone else, and not too far off her world-leading 52.68 from Australian Nationals. Campbell should continue to turn up the heat throughout the next two rounds of swimming.
Campbell led a strong Aussie contingent in the event, a foregone conclusion considering Australia just smoked the world record in the 400-meter freestyle relay on night one. Emma McKeon (54.19) and Bronte Campbell (54.42) took second and third in prelims. Both have been faster this year with McKeon (53.43) and Campbell (53.02) both in the 53s.
England's Fran Halsall, the hot hand here at the Commonwealth Games after winning the 50 free and topping 50 fly qualifying, tied Bronte Campbell for third in qualifying.
Here are your semifinalists:
Australia's Cate Campbell – 53.20
Australia's Emma McKeon – 54.19
Australia's Bronte Campbell – 54.42
England's Fran Halsall – 54.42
Bahamas' Arianna Vanderpool-Wallace – 54.90
Canada's Sandrine Mainville – 55.16
Canada's Victoria Poon – 55.60
New Zealand's Samantha Lucie-Smith – 55.71
Canada's Alyson Ackman – 55.77
England's Amy Smith – 55.99
England's Becki Turner – 56.02
Bahamas' Ariel Weech – 56.50
South Africa's Erin Gallagher – 56.53
Wales' Hannah McCarthy – 56.53
South Africa's Trudi Maree – 57.20
Singapore's Nur Marina Chan Si Min Alif Abdullah – 57.37
Women's 100 breast SB9
New Zealand's Sophie Pascoe cruised to the top time in prelims with a 1:19.71. She has some serious time to drop in finals to challenge Jessica Sloan's Paralympic world record of 1:16.93 from the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. Scotland's Erraid Davies, the youngest swimmer on the national team at 13, qualified second in 1:22.08 with Australia's Madeleine Scott earning third overall in 1:22.28.
Women's 200 IM
The two top-ranked swimmers in the world set up a phenomenal head-to-head matchup in the finale as England's Siobhan O'Connor (2:11.42) and Australia's Alicia Coutts (2:12.00) went 1-2 in qualifying. O'Connor has been on point here in Glasgow all week, and should give a run at her second-ranked season best of 2:09.63 from the Barcelona stop of the Mare Nostrum. Coutts, the defending champion, on the other hand has not looked the best throughout the week. She will need a special swim to come close to her top-ranked 2:08.89 from the Australian National Championships.
400 IM champion Hannah Miley of Scotland made her third final of the meet with a 2:12.45 for the third seed. She already won the 400 IM and took fourth in the 200 breast in what is one of the most outstanding overall performances in Glasgow thus far.
Here are your finalists:
England's Siobhan O'Connor – 2:11.42
Australia's Alicia Coutts – 2:12.00
Scotland's Hannah Miley – 2:12.45
England's Aimee Willmott – 2:12.55
Canada's Erika Seltenreich-Hodgson – 2:14.55
Australia's Emily Seebohm – 2:14.66
England's Sophie Allen – 2:14.68
Canada's Sydney Pickrem – 2:14.95
Men's 100 fly
South Africa's Chad le Clos, who already clinched the 200 fly gold medal and took bronze in the 50 fly, is looking for another butterfly medal here in Glasgow. He put up the top time this morning with a 52.68, one of just three swims under 53 seconds. That's not too far off his 13th-ranked season best of 52.14 from South African Nationals. Australia's Jayden Hadler (52.81) and Christopher Wright (52.89) each also cleared 53 seconds as the top three swimmers in the event.
Here are your semifinalists:
South Africa's Chad le Clos – 52.68
Australia's Jayden Hadler – 52.81
Australia's Christopher Wright – 52.89
England's Adam Barrett – 53.13
Kenya's Jason Dunford – 53.27
England's James Guy – 53.28
Wales' Tom Laxton – 53.45
Australia's Tommaso D'Orsogna – 53.53
Singapore's Joseph Schooling – 53.58
Canada's Coleman Allen – 53.58
England's Joseph Roebuck – 53.67
Canada's Evan White – 53.98
Isle of Man's Grant Halsall – 54.00
Trinidad and Tobago's Dylan Carter – 54.21
Singapore's Zheng Wen Quah – 54.46
Canada's Gamal Assaad – 54.62
Women's 100 breast
A pair of swimmers broke 1:08 this morning with England's Sophie Taylor leading the way with a 1:07.77. That's less than a second off her eighth-ranked season best of 1:07.08 from British Nationals. Meanwhile, Jamaica's Alia Atkinson raced to a 1:07.95 in prelims. She's been much faster this year with a sixth-ranked 1:06.86 and should be the early favorite in semis and finals. Australia's Sally Hunter rounded out the top three with a time of 1:08.42.
Here are your semifinalists:
England's Sophie Taylor – 1:07.77
Jamaica's Alia Atkinson – 1:07.95
Australia's Sally Hunter – 1:08.42
Scotland's Katie Armitage – 1:08.81
Australia's Lorna Tonks – 1:09.03
Canada's Tera van Beilen – 1:09.10
Canada's Kierra Smith – 1:09.36
Australia's Leiston Pickett – 1:09.46
Scotland's Corrie Scott – 1:09.56
Ireland's Sycerika McMahon – 1:10.07
Wales' Chloe Tutton – 1:10.11
South Africa's Tara-Lynn Nicholas – 1:10.15
England's Molly Renshaw – 1:10.29
Scotland's Kathryn Johnstone – 1:10.55
Canada's Martha McCabe – 1:10.56
Isle of Man's Laura Kinley – 1:10.90
Women's 800 free
Wales' Jazz Carlin took down a 36-year-old Games record with an 8:22.69 in the preliminary session. That time beat the former record of 8:24.62 set by Tracey Wickham in Edmonton at the 1978 Commonwealth Games. That leaves Kieren Perkins 14:41.66 in the men's 1500 free as the only Games record still in the books from before the turn of the century.
Expect Carlin to take that record even lower in finals as she's ranked second in the world with an 8:18.36 from British Nationals. The only swimmer who has beaten her this year is the unreal Katie Ledecky, who set a world record with an 8:11.00 at a regional meet in Texas in the U.S.
New Zealand's Lauren Boyle (8:24.85) and Australia's Alanna Bowles (8:25.19) finished second and third, while Scotland's Hannah Miley captuerd her fourth finale with a seventh-place effort.
Here are your finalists:
Wales' Jazz Carlin – 8:22.69
New Zealand's Lauren Boyle – 8:24.85
Australia's Alanna Bowles – 8:25.19
Canada's Brittany MacLean – 8:27.32
Australia's Jessica Ashwood – 8:34.21
Scotland's Camilla Hattersley – 8:36.15
Scotland's Hannah Miley – 8:36.16
Australia's Laura Crockart – 8:37.22
Men's 800 free relay
The foursome of Thomas Fraser-Holmes, David McKeon, Nick McKendry and Mack Horton turned in a 7:12.85 for the top time in the preliminary session. There's little doubt Team Australia will be swimming against the clock and not the field in the finale.
South Africa's Calvyn Justus, Sebastien Rousseau, Dylan Bosch and Devon Brown claimed second in 7:16.44 with Scotland's Jak Scott, Gareth Mills, Cameron Brodie and Craig Hamilton placing third in 7:18.93.
Here are your finalists:
Australia – 7:12.85
South Africa – 7:16.44
Scotland – 7:18.93
New Zealand – 7:19.69
Wales – 7:25.00
England – 7:25.04
Singapore – 7:26.96
Malaysia – 7:26.98

text: I am thinking about purchasing a thread chasing jig based on the ability to cut threads in softer hardwoods. Need opinions on the available jigs, speed and ease of setup. Also if it is true you can put threads in Oak, walnut,cherry etc. Would appreciate all replies even if you happen to sell a certain jig as more information should lead to a better buying decision.

Losing It with Jillian – The Vivio Family
The fifth week of Losing It with Jillian might have been one of the best yet. While each is moving and motivating for their own specific reasons, this one had a lot of heart. Not to mention, no whining!
Most of the families we've seen so far have gotten into fights with star and trainer Jillian Michaels just minutes in to their first workouts. They give up quickly, complain about the pain and admit to not being capable of the work. Jillian calls their bluff everytime. However, with this week's family, the Vivio family of Tennessee, there was not a moment of that. This family of four stepped up and took everything Jillian dished. And they're better for it.
The main story of this week's episode was the youngest son Elijah, who at only 14-years old weighed 330 pounds. He admits to Jillian that he's the butt of fat jokes at school and wants to change he way people talk to him. He is visibly surprised when, during a one-on-one conversation, she admits to being an overweight teen as well. She shares how discovering martial arts helped her physically and emotionally. Elijah also shares that "What I really want out of this week is a better relationship with my father."

Rojolicious; closing the loop between Rojo and del.icio.us
When Steve Gillmor wrote:
I wish Joshua Schacter would respond to Chris Alden and work out a Rojo flag-to-del.ico.us bridge so I can autopopulate my del.icio.us feed with items.
I responded by saying that it seemed an easy fix for something like Greasemonkey to take care of. Knowing from the same post that Steve is running Firefox on his tablet, Greasemonkey seemed a natural bridge-gap between Rojo and del.icio.us.
At the time I knew some javascript but not enough about Greasemonkey to get my feet wet. But as I used Rojo more and more I began to feel the gap between the two services more and more. I also kept a close eye on Steve's Shared Stories in Rojo, hoping for some nugget of goodness to pursue, but the list remained empty, and I surmised that Steve might have no reason to share stories in Rojo if he had to put them in del.icio.us separately.
So I sat down and worked out the solution myself and wrote a Greasemonkey script that combines sharing in Rojo with posting to del.icio.us. If you run Firefox and Greasemonkey, use del.icio.us and Rojo, and are interested in unifying the share process in Rojo with the posting process in del.icio.us, this script is for you (at least until Rojo and del.icio.us get their heads together about it).
To get the script, go to this page and enter your del.icio.us username. The script needs to have your username so it can post to del.icio.us for you, and so the script must be personalised for each user. Please comment here if you have feedback of any kind. Down the road a but I'll be adding some additional features to the script. If you're interested in hearing about those when they're ready, there's a place for your email address.
My thanks to Allen Searls and Christian Wilcox for alpha testing Rojolicious.

We got to the park early to set up the red gingham extravaganza. Squeebie went a little crazy with the details (a girl after my own heart). Even the cheeses on the cheese and cracker plates were labeled with little gingham signs. It really set a very classy yet casual tone.
So pretty!
Then, off to the hotel to help Squeebie get ready. The attire was super casual - jeans required. (I think this broke my Mom's shopaholic heart just a little bit.) Once again, Squeebie went a little psycho and individually glued over 800 crystals onto her blinged out Chucks, but how cool are they?
That's some serious bling!
Squeeb and Mom ready to leave for the park.
Everyone was ready when we arrived and Dad walked her down the aisle. With everything we've been going through with Dad's health battle, there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
Dad rockin' the tuxedo tee!
It was such a great day and I think everyone had a great time. It might have something to do with the 266 jello shots Squeebie made. Yes, 266!
Deb and Tom are off to Ireland for a 10 day honeymoon. (I'm soooo jealous! Squeebie, if you're reading this, feel free to bring me back anything silver and Celtic.) As a wedding gift, I put together a little "Now & Later" bouquet with a little something for the honeymoon (now) and a little something for a weekend getaway on their first anniversary (later). I filled the vase with red Now & Later candies and added some finishing touches. Squeebie's not the only one who can go a little overboard with gingham!

Okay so here's my program design: http://puu.sh/11gFY
And here is the code for the math that is to be rounded:
Private Sub EnterBtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles EnterBtn.Click FlightTimeResultLbl.Text = (2 * VelocityBox.Text * 0.7071067812) / 9.8 DistanceResultLbl.Text = VelocityBox.Text * FlightTimeResultLbl.Text * 0.7071067812 End Sub
Basically. The user enters the velocity and the code calculates the distance and flight time.
I need it rounded to 2 decimal places. Im not sure.
I looked up Math.round but i wasn't sure where to place it or how to round it off?
Many thanks <3

If you are looking for a quiet, secluded place in a rustic setting this is where you want to head. However, be aware and prepared for the lack of sewer hook-ups, especially if doing more than an overnight. We stayed 5 nights and had a spacious, long pull-through site in a wooded area that required absolutely NO leveling. That said, there were several negatives we found during our Monday-Friday stay. First, having no sewer connections required us to use the facilities in the bathhouse but the bathrooms were not cleaned until the last day of our stay. We are well-versed RVers and consider ourselves to be easy-going but we found this to be unacceptable. Also, there was no hot water in the sinks in the bathrooms. In addition, there was never anyone in the office to address questions, buy ice, or provide help if needed. The owner of the campground was friendly and tried to be helpful but appeared to be busy with a personal project rather than taking care of business. We were disturbed to find we had no cell service, no emergency phone provided and we could rarely find anyone around leaving us concerned should we have an emergency or health issue. On the other hand, the Wi-Fi reception was excellent. The $30 rate seemed high for a campground with no amenities or services. We understand that the owners have only had this campground for 2-3 years but feel that they need to do more to upgrade it. We used it as a home base to tour Taliesen and The House on the Rock. Both are quite a distance from the campground and we suggest looking for another place to stay closer to Spring Green while seeing these tourist attractions. - Second Timers

Some pull-through sites, but they are all dirt. Passport America rate one night, but not on weekends. Electric and water only. It's 10 miles west of Spring Hill and about 16 from House on the Rock. Too expensive for what you get. - har-fl
May 2014 - $31.00
Large, shaded, peaceful campground with a "homey" feel and friendly hosts. Older facilities, but restrooms/showers were very clean. Sites are mostly grass but level and well spaced. The owners appear to be upgrading as evidenced by the new, large playground. Peaceful. WiFi was good, but AT&T service was very spotty. We would stay here again. - judb

MegaMan Composer to Write Songs For Shovel Knight - NewsVGChartz Staff, posted on 05 April 2013 / 1,303 Views
Shovel Knight is becoming something of an indie darling. It has met and surpassed its Kickstarter goal. It will be playable on PC and, as previously reported, it is also coming to Wii U and 3DS. Self described as a "hot mashup of new and old that may remind you of Mega Man."
Well if the 8-bit inspired graphics and gameplay don't remind you of Mega Man enough, it looks like it will now sound like Mega Man too. Yacht Club Games has announced that Manami Matsumae is on board to compose two songs for the upcoming Shovel Knight.
That's her. On the left.
In her own words:
" This is the first time I'm working on a Western game! It's quite exciting! Shovel Knight and I are a good fit. So... let's get shovelin'?"
For those that need to be reminded of what she has composed in the past:
Elecman's Stage Theme
Nitro Man's Theme
Cutman's Stage Theme
At time of writing Shovel Knight has met its Kickstarter goal and still has 8 days to go. They have since made a list of stretch goals that will further add content to the game. With Manami "MegaMusic" Matsumae on board, the support is likely to just keep rising.
So has the addition of the original MegaMan composer peaked your interest? Were you already on board or are you now just waiting for the reviews to roll in?

Hey all, I'm new here and am not totally sure whether or not to post this here. Awhile back, I had Zimbra 6 installed on an Ubuntu box with no problems. A couple days ago I decided to install Zimbra 7.1.1 on my new Ubuntu Server. The installation went fine and everything seemed to be working fine. After downloading some security updates to the system and rebooting I went to check on Zimbra with. I got this back:Code:zmcontrol statusI assumed that postfix just got skipped over in the startup for some reason. I went to start postfix manually and got a permissions errorCode:Host oyster.andersentechwiki.net antispam Running antivirus Running ldap Running logger Running mailbox Running mta Stopped postfix is not running snmp Running spell Running stats Running zmconfigd RunningI went online and found this script:Code:postfix start postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/zimbra/postfix-22.214.171.124z/conf/main.cf postfix/postfix-script: warning: not owned by root: /opt/zimbra/postfix-126.96.36.199z/conf/master.cfI ran the script and then restarted Zimbra with the usually stop and start commands.Code:./zmfixperms --extended --verbose
I went to check the status and once again postfix wasn't started. I was a bit confused as the permissions were once again messed up. I ranas root inside of the postfix directory. As I ran the zmcontrol start command I noticed that it changed the permissions. I manually changed the permissions to match the other files usingCode:while sleep 1; do ls -l; donethen I tried to start postfix manually. At that point the script didn't output anything and just seemed to hang there. I tried looking in the logfileCode:chown -R root:postfix ./master.cf chown -R root:postfix ./main.cf chmod +rw ./master.cf chmod +rw ./main.cfbut it was empty.Code:tail -f /var/log/zimbra.log
At this point I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions?

I have taken note of the announcement made this afternoon by the ICC Chief Prosecutor Mr Luis Moreno-Ocampo in regard to the Kenyan case.
Like other countries, our overriding desire in subscribing to international conventions is to advance our national interest both internally and
We do expect, therefore, that the International Criminal Court process will meet our expectations as a nation.
I wish to state that the people who have been mentioned have not yet been fully investigated as the pre-trial process in The Hague has only but began.
They, therefore, cannot be judged as guilty until the charges are confirmed by the court.
Calls for action to be taken against them are, therefore, prejudicial, preemptive and against the rules of natural justice.
In the meantime, I wish to state that the Government is fully committed to the establishment of a local tribunal to deal with those behind the post-election violence, in accordance with stipulations of the new Constitution.
As a nation we must also focus on the need for national healing and reconciliation. This is paramount as we move forward on the path of national peace and unity.
I also wish to assure Kenyans that the Government has intensified security around the country.
The Government is providing full support to our security forces to enable them perform their duties of protecting the lives of all citizens and their property.
I appeal to Kenyans to remain calm. The Government will remain vigilant and ensure that the rights of its citizens and the dignity of the nation are upheld.

April 1994
By April 2nd, Pearl Jam arrived in Atlanta to play a two-night stand at the Fox Theater and do some recording for the follow-up to Vs. The 4500 seat Fox Theatre is one of the USA's prized concert halls -- a former movie theatre that offers the acoustics and intimacy absent in the usual basketball arenas. There was enough demand for Pearl Jam tickets to sell out the theatre for a week, and scalpers were asking $400 per ticket the night of the show.
04/02/94 - Fox Theater: Atlanta, GA
Opening: King's X
Soundcheck: Rearviewmirror, Corduroy
Setlist: Release, Go, Animal, Dissident, Even Flow, Why Go, Deep, Jeremy, Glorified G, Daughter/(It's Better to Not be Sane)/(Talk about the Passion)/(WMA), Blood, Footsteps, Once, Alive, Black, State of Love and Trust, Leash
Encore 1: The Kids are Alright, Rearviewmirror, Not for You, Elderly Woman, Out of My Mind, Alone, Porch
Encore 2: Indifference
Notes and Quotes: During 'Deep', "Young Virgin from Atlanta". "Not everyone carried the weight of the World", sang Eddie during the 'Daughter' tag quoting REM's 'Talk about the Passion'. "Hey...We're talking today...[chiiiiii]...be nice and quiet, that's why we play in places like this...We're talking today about how music is kind of a [someone screamed Eddie]...Hey, I know my fucking name...if I knew yours, I'd tell you to shut up [laughs]...But...When I think about it...these guys...it was through...I knew them really well...before a song that was in a tape...there was just instruments on it...actually fell in love...you know...without even seeing them...but anyways the first thing that was written were these three songs...without even knowing these guys we kind of a wrote music together...and there was three songs...and I was talking about today with this guy because it's kind of a cool mini-opera...it's about birth, we all know about that...it's about incest, some of us know about that...and it's about murder, this guy knows all the answers...so it ends up with the guy's in a jail cell, you know he's a serial killer and he's been abused by folks and that's why he did those things to the people...so the last song he's in a jail cell, and that's where we're gonna start, we're gonna do a backwords tonight", before starting the Mamasan Trilogy in reverse order with 'Footsteps'. "We're switching songs around...While we're in the subject of love", before 'Solat'. "You guys take care, you've been great...Drop the Leash, Drop the Leash, Get out of my fucking face". "Thanks a lot, thanks for waiting for tickets...give us a few more minutes...we're gonna play a few more songs". Returning for the first encore, "Alright...I didn't write this next song, we didn't write this next song but...I've got permission to play it so...The only thing I've got back then was this guitar...So me and this guitar we're going to play a song", before playing a solo version of The Who's 'The Kids are Alright'. 'Out of My Mind' was played for the first time and was later released as a single on the flip side of 'Not for You'. "Yeah, these people are holding up a sign, we're just gonna play the song, so you could put the sign down...The song is called 'Alone'". "We'll see some of you tomorrow or you can always listen to us...you guys take care alright...Last thing I need to say you know...1,2,3,4", before 'Porch'.
A nearly a month after the Paramount show in Denver, Pearl Jam gave its fans a gift in the form of a live broadcast from Atlanta's Fox theater April 3rd. Rather than align itself with a radio syndicator, the band -- with help from Epic, which footed the bill -- cut out the middleman and produced the show itself, commercial-free. The program cost tens of thousands of dollars to produce. Unlike most radio network agreements the broadcast was non-exclusive. That meant that any station that wanted to could air the concert, including NPR outlets, Voice of America, and shortwave radio. More than 300 U.S. stations took the band up on the offer, including five in the New York area alone. Fans in attendance and the millions listening and taping at home would here a powerful two-hour-plus show. But probably the biggest surprise was the occurrence of a post-show DJ session with the band led by Eddie. This 45-minute session can be truly be looked back upon as "The first Monkeywrench Radio". During his deejay session, Eddie made reference to the unfolding crisis that few outside Seattle were aware of "Kurt Cobain, hope he's all right. Please be all right". [Kurt Cobain escaped from the Exodus Recovery Center on April 1st, where he was staying for treatment. Nobody knew where he was].
"Thanks for letting us come into your houses and your cars and your ears (laughs) and uh, sorry about the mess. Sorry we left a mess. I'll see you guys later take care... bye", said Eddie at the end of his Deejay session.
Eddie's DJ Setlist: Cigarettes (King's X), I Only Play for Money (The Frogs), A Little Story (Daniel Johnson), Joy Without Pleasure (Daniel Johnson), Androgynous Mind (Sonic Youth), In the Blood (Mudhoney), Disconnect (Rollins Band), Baby Drop (Shudder to Think), Let Down Left Out Laughed At (Eleven), Dock of the Bay (PJ w/ Steve Cropper 3/26/94)
04/03/94 - Fox Theater: Atlanta, GA
Opening: King's X
Soundcheck: Go, Better Man, WMA (X2), Manic Depression (Jeff and Stone w/ King's X singer and drummer)
Setlist: Release, Rearviewmirror, Whipping, Even Flow, Dissident, Why Go, Deep, Jeremy, Glorified G, Daughter/(ABitW-II), Go, Animal, (Angie)/Garden, State of Love and Trust, Black, Alive, Blood/(Not for You), WMA, Better Man, Elderly Woman, Rats, Satan's Bed, Once,
Encore: Sonic Reducer, Porch/(Androgynous Mind), Indifference
Notes and Quotes: During King's X set, Jeff joined them playing Jimi Hendrix 'Maniac Depression'. "Good evening...that goes out to everybody", said Eddie adressing the crowd and the fans via radio. "We dedicate that last song to our...the guy who...he works for us...his name is Keith, his gonna be...going off to jail so he got...six to nine months for abusing his inner child...oh...just cause you haven't been caught...Got a gun, fact I've got two, that's okay man, I love", before 'Glorified G'. After 'Animal', Mike strummed a few 'Angie' chords. At the end of 'Blood', Eddie added a few 'Not For You' lines. Doug Pinnick (King's X singer) helped Eddie on WMA. "Tomorrow morning, look into your history book and figure out why it's an important date to remember...tomorrow morning", at the end of 'WMA'. "That was kind of an experiment, we've never played that one live...maybe one time...I don't think it was very good the last time we played it...so with Doug's help, that was alright, thanks Doug...Doug from Kings X...So I think the radio broadcast means we should start fuckin' around now...they should be broadcasting, I guess...anyway we fuck around...this song, I don't think you've ever heard it...but it's a new song but it was written a long time ago...it's dedicated to the bastard that married my mama", before 'Better Man'. "Mike McCready in a nice top hat there...sweat cover beast in the back, whose name is Dave, Hi Dave...Stone Gossard wearing a pair of Jeff's shoes tonight...some velvet shorts he plays quite often...and off course me, I've been gaining weight, I'm about eight fifty now...but most important sporting a Rock for Choice t-shirt...Okay back to the music", before 'Elderly Woman'. At the end of 'Rats', Eddie added the 'Satan's Bed' chorus. "Okay we don't even know this song...fuckin' play it anyway, that's right", before 'Satan's Bed'. "We'd like to thank...we don't have to thank any sponsors [laughs]...there were no fucking sponsors...you put in a position people say you know...you're a role model now so you know...tell everybody what to do...don't be wrong...fuck that, I just said an example I guess...we personally as a Band have been amazed that this as all turned out like it as...even this radio thing have turned out the way it did...and so thanks to a guy named Arvillids...and Laura and Ron...and when we told the people listening how we looked, we should how you look too...you look great, thanks for coming, it's a beautiful place here, in Atlanta...Once upon a time", before 'Once'. "Thanks Goodnight". While Eddie left the stage, the guys continued and played for a few moments, with Stone remarking "Ladies and Gentlemen, Dave Abruzzesse", and Jeff quipping "Otherwise known as Four Feet". When Eddie returned they started 'Sonic Reducer'. Before 'Porch', Eddie said, "I think you won, but I enjoyed the fight," referring to a large banner handed to him, which read, "Eddie vs. Atlanta". During 'Porch', Eddie climbed the lighting rig above the stage, he stayed there through most of the jam. The beautiful 'Indifference' closed the set.

Just before nine in the morning on April 8th, Kurt Cobain was found dead at his Lake Washington Boulevard House. He left a drug rehab center in Marina Del Rey California on April 1st, 1994 and was later reported missing. He left a note, with the following phrase concluding it "I don't have the passion anymore, and so remember, it's better to burn out than to fade away". The last line was a quote from Neil Young's 'Hey,Hey, my, my". The same day Kurt was found, Pearl Jam played a show at the Patriot Center in Fairfax.
"I remember tearing up my hotel room in a complete rage when I found out [that Cobain had died]. We played that night [near Washington, D.C.], and I still question that. [Fugazi's] Ian MacKaye was there, and he offered to take me in that night. So I went to get my suitcase from the hotel, but I didn't have a key, so I had to go up with the maintenance guy to let me in the room. When he opened the door, I just looked at him and said, "You have to understand what happened today", Eddie Vedder.
"I have a hard time saying, because I don't know exactly what was going through his head at that moment or those two weeks or that month or that year. But I definitely have my own set of difficulties, of which I think there are many parallels. And I totally understand. When it happened, I was in a hotel room and somebody told me, and I just couldn't believe he did it, I couldn't believe he took the step. But I didn't think it was wrong, I just couldn't believe he did it. And I still can't. After it happened, I wrote him a letter and asked, "What's on the other side? And is there room for me?", Eddie Vedder.
"Any generation that would pick Kurt or me as its spokesman -- that must be a pretty fucked up generation, don't you think? I mean, that generation must be really fucked up, man, really fuckin' fucked up...", Eddie Vedder.
"People think you are this grand person who has all their shit together because you are able to put your feelings into some songs. They write letters and come to the show and even to the house, hoping we can fix everything for them. But we can't ... because we don't have all our shit together either. What they don't understand is that you can't save somebody from drowning if you're treading water yourself", Eddie Vedder.
"You know, I always thought I'd go first. I don't know why I thought that, It just seemed like I would. I mean, I didn't know him on a daily basis -- far from it. But, in a way, I don't even feel right being here without him. It's so difficult to really believe he's gone. I still talk about him like he's still here, you know. I can't figure it out. It doesn't make any sense", Eddie Vedder.
"We never talked about this but it's like you were saying although we were very different people, there was probably a lot we had in common. We had similar backgrounds, yeah, things that happened with our families and shit... I think that's something that comes out in what we wrote in our songs, definitely. It is kinda similar sometimes. But what makes it more similar is the way people responded to what we wrote and sang about, the intense identification. And I think it was maybe a shock to both of us that so many people were going through the same things. I mean, they understood so completely what we were talking about. And this was shit we thought only he and I were ever gonna have to deal with. Because we kinda wrote these songs for ourselves really. Then all of a sudden, there's all these other people who connect with them and you're suddenly the spokesman for a fuckin' generation. Can you imagine that! A... spokesman... for a... generation", Eddie Vedder.
"When will people understand the simple fuckin' fact that it's not success that's the fuckin' problem. It's a fuckin' honor that people love your music and buy your records and come to your shows. It's what happens when a lot of these people start thinking you can change their lives or save their lives or whatever and create these impossible fuckin' expectations that in the end just start tearing you apart. That's the problem. If that's success, fuck it. I'm outta here. The thing is, success on any level can be hard to deal with for most musicians. Why? Because you never really believe you're going to be successful. I mean, I've met very few musicians who truly believed they'd ever be successful on like a major scale. At least, very few that I've liked. If they thought they were going to be successful, they were probably some cocky fuckin' bastard I didn't give two shits about. So when you unexpectedly become more successful than you ever imagined, it can be something that's real heavy to deal with. And I think Kurt, he definitely had a lot of shit to deal with", Eddie Vedder.
"It was tough... because all the things Kurt Cobain said we were guilty of,
we were -- on some level. Kurt had us pegged in a lot of ways. Somebody from the
outside can sometimes see the ugliness in our situation more clearly. He saw us
in a way that was accurate to him. I can only say that I don't want... I don't
think that I'm exclusively what he, at one point, claimed we were! Which was
everything bad about rock music in terms of the music not coming first. Jeff and
I have been very driven about wanting to be successful -- sometimes at the
expense of a lot of people's feelings -- without even realizing it. Our wanting
to get things done has ruffled a lot of feathers and stepped on a few toes.
We're still learning how to live life and be true to ourselves and to our
spiritual natures, and we've learned a lot of lessons. I feel bad that Kurt's
not still writing songs, because he was brilliant and that guy could emotionally
twang my heart strings. Every song that he wrote spoke to me", Stone
04/08/94 - Patriot Center: Fairfax, VA
Encore 1: Rearviewmirror, Corduroy, Not for You, Elderly Woman
Encore 2: Indifference, Rockin' in the Free World
The day after the Patriot Center show, Pearl Jam received an invitation to tour the White House. At ten in the morning on April 9th, Pearl Jam - minus Dave and Eddie who was at Fugazi's Ian MacKaye's house but would meet the group there - convened with Mudhoney, who were uninvited but had decided to tag along anyway, and headed for 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Once inside the gate, they met up with Eddie and Kelly Curtis, who'd arrived a few minutes earlier, and were escorted inside. While the members of Mudhoney were being escorted through the Press Room and the Situation Room, Pearl Jam were ushered into the Oval Office for a personal audience with Bill Clinton. Later, when they got back to the hotel, Dave asked them what they'd talked about with the President and they said they talked about basketball.
"The media was kind of trying to make Pearl Jam and Nirvana diametrically
opposed to each other, like Nirvana's the real deal, Pearl Jam's the made-for-TV
kind of band. Even Cobain was saying that. The biggest thing that really stuck
out in our minds was we [Mudhoney] had a horrible time on the Nirvana tour.
Cause it was just really unorganized and everybody was unhappy, crew members
were being fired left and right, they were trying to tell us that we couldn't
have beer backstage because they were trying to make it a dry tour. So then we
were like, fuck, if that's what the Nirvana tour was like, what the hell's the
Pearl Jam tour gonna be like? But we did it, and immediately it was such a
better atmosphere. We were absolutely bummed for Nirvana, but God, they're
having such a horrible time, everything sucks, ya know. And it shouldn't. Just
watching Pearl Jam. The crew was really happy and really nice people, a lot of
them are still with them today, since day one. It was just really pleasant,
really fun. There were some skateboards, I remember skateboarding around with
Jeff backstage. It really did change my perceptions of the whole thing. It just
seemed like they'd actually worked for it and so they weren't going to pretend
like they didn't want it. And they also weren't going to act like big stupid
rock stars", Steve Turner (Mudhoney).
After the meeting with Bill Clinton, Pearl Jam went to Boston to play three shows, two at the Boston Garden and one at the Orpheum Theater. The Garden shows sold out in an hour. As a deal sweetener when the band's contract had been negotiated for shows at the Boston Garden on April 10th, and 11th, Garden president Larry Moulter had promised them time on the fabled Celtics' court, and he'd sent out a memo announcing that the court would be down on April 12th for Pearl Jam's use. Unfortunately, the Boston Bruins never got the memo and arrived at the Garden that day for an important pre-playoff practice to find their ice rink covered by the Celtics' court and Pearl Jam happily immersed in a vigorous game of b-ball. [The Boston Bruins got barred from their practice rink on the eve of the NHL playoffs]. Some of the team opted to shoot hoops at the end of the court not occupied by Pearl Jam for their workout, and the rest repaired to a ice rink in Wilmington. The last gig in Boston was at the Orpheum Theater on April 12th. The setlist for this show was made up by the crew members. A lot of b-sides, new songs, and outtakes were placed on the setlist.
A similar situation [Ticketmaster] like the Masonic show on March 19th, happened again over shows planned for April 10th and 11th at the Boston Garden and April 12th at that city's Orpheum Theater. When Ticketmaster pushed for a service charge between $3 and $4, Pearl Jam countered with a threat to stage another newspaper lottery. This time around, surprisingly, Ticketmaster was cooperative, not only lowering its service charge for the shows to $1.80, but even agreeing to contribute $.20 from each ticket, the same amount Pearl Jam had pledged, to a local charity, the New England Home for Little Wanderers.

and Quotes: "Hey,... I gotta
admit, we got a lot on our minds.
It is tough to play. I personally felt we shouldn't play at all.
It is really very odd, it's just like that empty feeling.
It is alright to fade away and not to burn out". 'Blood' was dedicated to
"We had four shows left when I found out what happened in Seattle, and I didn't really think we should play the rest of those shows. So as it is, I'm gonna get through these shows - it seems like it's the best thing for us, the best thing for the people coming to see the shows. It's been healthy for all of us, though incredibly difficult. After that I or we as a band may not play for a very long time. As far as scheduling some monster tour or something, it's not gonna happen right now, because we need to protect the music and we need to protect ourselves", Eddie Vedder.

The following day at the same arena, MTV shot some
live footage and a pre-gig interview with Eddie and Jeff. About Kurt, he sang - during
'Daughter' - a
snippet from the Neil Young song with the line Kurt quoted in his suicide note,
"better to burn out than to fade away, but Eddie sang, "better not to
burn out than to fade away".

Notes and Quotes: Before 'State of Love and Trust', Eddie confirmed that they were going to play things they hadn't played for a long time and things one might have never heard before "This is the second to the last night of this fucking tour. Play New York and we are going home. We would like to thank our crew, speaking of 'Rats.' You should also thank the one who made the setlist tonight, cause somebody else made it. This is a fucking awesome place you live in. Lots of history. It is definitely one of the places I want to live. I was talking to someone last night. He said, 'fucking Boston, just a bunch of rich college motherfuckers, spoiled, rude, negative attitudes towards women'. I wanted to argue with him, but I just don't know, I only come for a few days. I don't know..."
Pearl Jam appeared on "Saturday Night Live," the massively popular American comedy show on April 16th. They played three songs, the then unrecorded "Not For You," "Rearviewmirror" and "Daughter," which ended with Eddie fading out with a quote from Neil Young's "Hey Hey, My My (Into The Black)," the song that inspired the "it's better to burn out than fade away" reference in Kurt's suicide note. "Rock'n'roll will never die,There's more to the picture than meets the eye..." Before the show's final credits rolled, the program's regular cast and special guests, including Pearl Jam, lined up with that week's celebrity host, Emilio Estevez. Emilio, in an attempt at some kind of peculiar bonding, tried to embrace Eddie who was standing next to him, looking over his shoulder into the camera. Eddie seemed to wince at Emilio's luvvie clutch and shrugged him off. Turning full onto the camera, he peeled open his jean jacket. There was a large "K" scrawled on his T-shirt, just above his heart. Eddie, you knew, had not taken Kurt's death lightly. He had, literally, taken it to heart, to an extent that you worried immediately about the effect it might have had on his own troubled soul.
04/14/94 - Saturday Night Live Rehearsals: NYC, NY (rehearsal)
04/16/94 - Saturday Night Live: NYC, NY
The official tour itinerary pegged Pearl Jam's April 16th appearance on "Saturday Night Live" as the finale to the band's wildly successful six-week U.S. tour. Supporting its 1993 release, Vs., Pearl Jam's 26 shows routinely sold out in minutes, sometimes in single-digit minutes. At the last moment the band announced a Sunday (April 17th) show at New York's Paramount Theatre. Local fan club members were given the first shot at tickets. The move was characteristic of the band's response to the challenge of balancing their enormous success with delivering what they think loyal fans deserve, access and reasonably priced music. As the band's manager, Kelly Curtis, explains, "Pearl Jam's members were themselves the kids standing in line for concert tickets not so long ago". But once again, Ticketmaster emerged as a killjoy. According to Pearl Jam, Fred Rosen wasted no time in threatening the Paramount's promoter with a lawsuit over the alternative ticket-distribution method Pearl Jam had devised for the show.
"I've never in my 20 years seen an act this sensitive to their fan base", Harvey Leeds, VP of promotion at Epic.
Pearl Jam used Soundgarden's 'Black Hole Sun' as the intro tape to the final night of their American spring tour, organized especially for the Ten Club members. Remaining tickets were distributed to New York radio stations. This extra gig was held at the Paramount Theater on April 17th, which is located inside Madison Square Garden, and can held 5500 people. Outside the venue, scalpers offered tickets up to $700 a piece.
"In New York, where we played a show at the Paramount Theatre in April of
this year, we tried to distribute some tickets over the radio. Using a city-wide
promotion, tickets were sold through the Paramount Box office. Here again, we
were informed that Ticketmaster threatened the Paramount's management with legal
action for supposedly allowing us to evade Ticketmaster's exclusive rights",
Pearl Jam Testimony before Congress regarding
Ticketmaster on June 30th, 1994.
"This could be our last show in fuckin' forever as far as I'm concerned. Kurt's death has changed everything. I don't know if I can do it anymore. I don't know where we go from here. Maybe nowhere. I think this is going to be the last thing for a long time. I'm just gonna live in a fuckin' cave with my girlfriend. I don't think I'll be showing my face for a while. I don't think I'll be making any fuckin' videos. Maybe we'll eventually do some shows or something, I just don't know. I'm having a real tough time right now. This is the last night of the tour, and I don't know how we've got through the last week. It's been so fuckin' hard, man. So hard. And tonight, you know, it's just going to be so... so weird. Right now, that's pretty much how I feel, But who knows? Right now, I've just got to get back to Seattle, sort out a lotta shit. I've got to sit down and figure out where to go from here. Everything's just so fuckin' weird, I've got to work it out", Eddie Vedder.
"Fuck it fuckin' all, You know, all these people man, all lining up to say
that his death was so fucking inevitable... well, if it was inevitable for him,
it's gonna be inevitable for me, too, if this continues. That's why this could
be our last show in fuckin' forever as far as I'm concerned. Kurt's death has
changed everything. I don't know if I can do it any more. See, people like him
and me, we can't be real. It's a contradiction. We can't be these people who
just write these real songs. We have to live up to the expectations of a million
people. And we can't do that. And then there's a cynical fuckin' media on top of
that. Fuck that, fuck 'em. All along the line, they question your fuckin'
honesty. No matter what you say, no matter what you do, they think it's an angle.
They think it's all a fuckin' game. Because that's all they're used to. That's
what they think it is, a fuckin' game. They don't know what's real and what
isn't. And when someone comes along who's trying to be real, they don't know the
fuckin' difference. So if you say, 'No, I'm not playing your fuckin' game. I
want out... I'm not doing this, I'm not doing that...,' they still think you're
part of it. They just can't accept that you don't want to be part of it, that
you were never part of it. They just think it's an angle. Some kind of fuckin'
angle. And that makes it so hard for somebody who's just trying to be honest. So
fuck it", Eddie Vedder.
04/17/94 - Paramount Theater: New York City, NY
Attendance: 5,500

Encore: Sonic Reducer
Notes and Quotes: "Live from New York it's Sunday night...this next song is about, you probably don't know what its about, cause you live in New York city and probably there's no guns here", before 'Glorified G'. During 'Daughter', Eddie added lines from Neil Young's 'Tonight's the night' [the title track of the album Young recorded as a raw rock verity tribute to two of his own close friends -- Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten and roadie Bruce Berry -- both of whom died of heroin ODs at the height of Neil's popularity in the Seventies]."I should just warn ya that I going to say Fuck about 8 times in the next thirty seconds...[there's a huge cheer from the crowd]...Wow...it's like we almost didn't have to play songs we could just stand up right here and say fuck, it's a lot easier on the throat...this is the last night of the tour, I don't give a fuck about my throat, about that last song, if you just feel like saying fuck this, fuck that, fuck you, I'm the fuck out here, living is the best revenge", before 'Alone'. A female fan, started screaming "I love you, Eddie", which Eddie commented "Aww, that's sweet. I love you too, you don't know me, if you knew me you wouldn't love me, You don't love me. You love who you think I am and the image you have created in your mind. You can't love me cause I'm already in love. Did you know my ten year anniversary with my girlfriend, Beth, is next month? That is the longest relationship of anyone in the band, unless you count Stone and Jeff". Returning for the encore, Mark Arm from Mudhoney sang a few lines of 'Sonic Reducer' while Eddie was drinking Heineken Beer. At the end Eddie carried Arm offstage on his back Matt Dillon and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth) appeared at the aftershow party.
"It's the same with organizations. We're constantly getting letters asking us to do this or do that. And they're good causes. But they can't even show them to me any more. Because they know I'll let my innards be scooped out. I'll have nothing left. And people have advised me on this. They've said, 'What you're doing musically, don't jeopardize that. The music is something everyone can get something out of, and you shouldn't be required to do anything more. And if you put everything into that, then that's helping more people than you could ever imagine.' "And I've come to realize that these people are probably right. Because if you get lost in these individual situations and circumstances, if you get too drawn in, you can lose control of your own life and where you're going. And then you really would be worthless as far as making music and in the end you need to protect that. So as far as all these cries for help go, it's easy to hear and easy to take in. But it's almost impossible to do anything. And that may be really fuckin' hard to accept, but it's the sad fuckin' truth", Eddie Vedder.
During its 94 tour, Pearl Jam: kept pre-service charge ticket prices at $18, sold concert T-shirts for $18, Played surprise small venue shows where fan club members got first dibs on seats, refused to sell limited-view tickets, bought its own satellite time and offered a live concert broadcast, available to any interested stations, and worked out, on one occasion, a deal with TicketMaster so that fans did not need credit cards to buy Pearl Jam concert tickets. The band declared that it would appear only at venues where its tickets were priced at $18, ticket-distributor service charges were $1.80 or less [Although initially wanting to hold the line at $1.80, Kelly Curtis was willing to give a little in negotiations with the ticket broker. "We would have settled for $2.25,"] , and the tickets would have no advertisements printed on them. (Ticketmaster routinely sells display-ad space on its tickets and pockets the revenues).
"We thought four bucks was too much for an $18 ticket, it doesn't cost them
any more to print a concert ticket than a circus ticket", Kelly
Curtis (Pearl Jam Manager).
"We thought four bucks was too much for an $18 ticket, it doesn't cost them
any more to print a concert ticket than a circus ticket", Kelly
Curtis (Pearl Jam Manager).
"After the conclusion of our winter tour, we began to plan for a tour this summer. In attempting to arrange that tour, we made it clear that we would only perform if the service charge imposed on our tickets was limited to 10 percent and was separately disclosed. Ticketmaster responded by spreading the word to promoters that it viewed our efforts as a threat to its business and urged promoters to refuse to deal with Pearl Jam", Pearl Jam Testimony before Congress regarding Ticketmaster on June 30th, 1994.

Golden Women for the Globes.
by Meredith O'Brien
When the Golden Globe award nominations were announced, after I looked to make sure my favorite TV show -- Mad Men -- got sufficient props, I scrutinized the list of female nominees to discern if this would be a year when women on small screens and big would be honored for their portrayals of women's lives, or if super-masculine fare would rule? All in all, I think women had a fair showing among the nominations, with several glaring omissions to be sure.
Portrayals of betrayed suburban wives and mothers (in the 1960s on Mad Men and the 2000s on The Good Wife), a drug-addicted nurse named Jackie, a middle-aged divorced woman in It's Complicated who is aggressively wooed by her ex (who'd left her for a younger woman), a celebrity chef in Julie & Julia who builds her own career from scratch in middle age, a woman in The Blind Side who busts her hump to help a homeless teen whom she welcomes into her family's home, an emotionally damaged wife in a polygamist marriage on Big Love who's hiding many secrets, and a married mom on United States of Tara who's struggling with multiple personalities, all received some Golden love this year.
Additionally, two female movie screenwriters – one tackling a divorced mom's sexual renaissance in It's Complicated and the other writing about the potentially lethal ramifications of locking aliens from another planet into concentration camps in District 9– were among the scribes nominated for best screenplay. A lone female director, Kathryn Bigelow, was nominated for her film, The Hurt Locker (which is also up for best dramatic motion picture) about a U.S. Army bomb squad serving in Iraq. As for the other major categories, films prominently featuring women comprised three of the best comedy/musical nominations (It's Complicated, Nine and Julie & Julia) and two of the best drama (Up in the Air and Precious).

…and oh my what a trip this has been. So eventful. I couldn't believe the rescue at sea. I mean, how often does someone get to see that?! Sheesh. And boy you sound like that latte was just what the Dr. Ordered!!! That steam iron is a real treat as I've never ever seen anything like it. Never. My arms hurt already. You know, I have no suggestions for vacation because I'm heading back your way to the mountains when I do my turn. …which is going to be soon! No quite walla walla but 3k miles and elevated regardless. Home. Not very exactly to be honest. No good lighting for stitching either. Dang parents.

At least it was warm! I recommend Hawaii. Rent a condo and go from there. It's our favorite destination!

Love the dolphin pic Candace!
Of all the caribbean cruise itineraries, my most favorite is the southern then I like the eastern and western is my least favorite. Although, I do love Jamaica. But you can just fly there if you want to.
I found and took a picture of a 'red' sewing machine in Curacao a couple of years ago. I'll have to send it to you.

Looks like the Dolphin is a little shorter than most of the species :)
Glad you had some time off the ship and found something interesting beyond the tourist shop "usuals". I'm hoping your drive back from Seattle is pleasanter than the drive TO!

How much weight can I lose in 3 months using Xenadrine Ultra?
Alicia Asked: How much weight can I lose in 3 months using Xenadrine Ultra?
I'm a 20 year old female. I weigh about 260 pounds now. Over the past year and a half, I got really depressed and turned to food for comfort, and I gained about a hundred pounds.
I just bought a bottle of Caffeine-Free Xenadrine Ultra, and plan on starting it tomorrow. I decided to buy this particular diet pill because I talked to someone who uses it and he said he's lost a lot of weight with it, and he said he doesn't even exercise to lose it. He said he weighed about 400 and since he's been taking it he's lost nearly a hundred pounds. My ultimate goal of weight loss is to lose at least 120 pounds. I know this is a lot. And I know I can't get there over night. I was just curious as to how much weight I can lose with this within 3 months if I follow the instructions.
I'm going to start drinking nothing but water, with a coffee or red bull every now and then (I need it for the nights I get no sleep). I'm not sure how often I'll be able to exercise because I get busy with helping my dad out a lot. But I'm going to try to take a 15-30 minute walk every day if I get the chance. And I'm definitely going to start eating less and healthier.
So how much weight can I lose, following those things? Please no rude or disrespectful comments. Serious answers only. Thank you.
Also, have you tried it? Did it work for you? What did you think of it? Do you think there's a better pill to take besides this one? How much weight did you lose and how quick? What did you do to lose the weight?
In three months let's see my moms losses 10lbs a week about 90 or more pounds.

"The Bletchley Circle," PBS's hit British import miniseries about female codebreakers who after World War II end up investigating, will be back for another four-part season in spring 2014, the network announced today alongside a slate of additional new programming for fall and beyond. Topping the list are fellow period pieces "Mr. Selfridge" and "Call The Midwife," which will return for second and third seasons respectively, both in 2014. The biggest PBS period drama of them all, "Downton Abbey," will as previously announced be back on January 5th.
PBS also announced the premiere of "Coming Back With Wes Moore," a three-part special that tells the personal stories of returning U.S. veterans. The special, hosted by combat veteran and "New York Times" best-selling author Wes Moore, is slated to premiere in May 2014 on PBS.
Also premiering will be "How We Got To Now," with Steven Johnson in fall 2014. The six-part series, to be produced for PBS by Nutopia and hosted by the popular American science author and media theorist, explores the power and the legacy of great ideas. Topics explored in the series include why and how ideas happen, and their sometimes unintended results, including how the search for clean water opened the way to invention of the iPhone, and how the nagging problem of overheating in a New York printing business led to the invention of air conditioning, which inspired mass migration and a political transformation. Johnson explains how the answers to the questions he poses in each episode -- such as "how do we make something cold?" or "how do we create light?"-- have driven other discoveries through the web of ideas and innovations that made each finding possible.
Gwen Ifill and Judy Woodruff will be co-anchors and managing editors for the "PBS Newshour." This will mark the first time a network broadcast has had a female co-anchor team. Hari Sreenivasan will also serve as Senior Correspondent for the "PBS Newshour."
Additional information was also shared by the network today about two previously announced programs. PBS announced that its series of primetime special programs to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's death will air November 11-13. The specials will offer new perspectives on the life and death of JFK, as well as provide audiences with a comprehensive examination of timely issues. Lastly, the 2013 PBS Arts Fall Festival returns in October with seven weekly programs that highlight Broadway classics, music from around the country and legendary superstar Barbra Streisand. The series will be hosted by award-winning television, film and stage star Anna Deavere Smith ("Nurse Jackie," "The West Wing") starting Friday, October 18, 2013 at 9pm ET.
