text: Current CD mastering practices 2005-08-09 03:50:18 Although I've been aware of the ever more destructive levels of compression/limiting used over the last 5-10 years (and taken part in discussions here and other places), it only dawned on me recently that I had unconciously practically stopped buying CD's the last year or two..By that I'm referring to largely rock, indie, jazz etc, incuding so-called 'remasters'.There are recent releases out there which I would like to own, but with what I've come to expect from modern CD's, I know that an album which I might have 'played to death' over weeks or months in years gone by will simply get boring after a few plays. So I don't buy them. Dynamics, soft/loud contrasts, drama - squashed out of existence.New Queens Of The Stone Age? Probably a great album - but once bitten .....I'm increasingly going to exchanges to try and find older releases of albums I want, or even buying vinyl versions of new albums where they're released, as they tend not to be afflicted as badly.Obviously there are a proportion of buyers who only lsiten to CD's in the car or on personals in noisy environments who couldn't care less and will keep buying, but there must be a lot of others who, like me, are completely disillusioned with this 'loudness fetish' crap and have simply lost interest.In fact I wonder how much this has contributed to the stagnancy in sales over the last few years that the 'industry' whines about so frequently?R.

While the pinnacle of league football is to win the long and gruelling title race amidst elite competition, the next best thing is qualifying for the competition that is considered the pinnacle of club football: the UEFA Champions League.
Whilst over the years the top clubs have seen it as a foregone conclusion that they will be participating in Europe's most prestigious club competition year in year out, in recent times there has been the growing competition for finishing in the top four.
Whilst for some, finishing in the top four is no remarkable achievement and is expected, but as for someone like Arsene Wenger who regards it as a trophy, a top four finish very much remains an important achievement.
Once upon a time Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool would finish in the top four with consummate ease as they wrestled for Premier League glory. Other teams didn't even get a sniff. Now, there is unprecedented competition with the rise of Manchester City and Tottenham, which has been compounded by the fall of Liverpool and Arsenal.
This season in Europe's top five leagues, the race for the top four is incredibly tight as we head into the home straight where every game is critical in the race for Champions League qualification.
Premier League
3. Tottenham | 54 points
4. Chelsea | 52 points
5. Arsenal | 47 points
6. Liverpool | 45 points
7. Everton | 45 points
As it stands there are now five legitimate contenders for the final two champions league positions. With Liverpool having defeated Spurs in a crucial league game their superb form has propelled them to a position to make a charge at the top four. Chelsea, Arsenal and Everton all have games in hand to make up ground in what looks to be an even more exciting race for the top four than last season.
This could spell disaster in particular for Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal if they are not able to claim a Champions league birth. Tottenham will have seemingly chocked if they fail to qualify while Chelsea's huge summer investment will have amounted to nothing. Wenger will be looking to keep intact his remarkable record of Champions League qualification for every year he's been at Arsenal.
Everton and Liverpool are outsiders to creep into the top four, however stranger things have occurred which will no doubt give the Merseyside duo hope in their pursuit for Champions League football.
La Liga
4. Malaga | 44 points
5. Real Sociedad | 44 points
6. Real Betis | 43 points
7. Valencia | 42 points
8. Real Vallecano | 41 points
9. Getafe | 39 points
La Liga has seen powerhouses Barcelona and Real Madrid occupy the top two league positions, while Atletico Madrid have virtually sealed a top three finish thanks to an outstanding campaign. With usual suspects such as Villareal and Sevilla who perennially challenge for top four honours out of the equation, surprise packets Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe have sprung into contention.
Only five points separate fourth placed Malaga from ninth placed Getafe in what is an extraordinarily congested table near the top. Malaga have been impressive in the Champions League this season despite their financial woes, and will want to build on the success of their debut campaign by confirming their presence for next seasons competition.
Valencia was recently narrowly beaten by Paris Saint-Germain in the last 16 of the Champions League and are well in contention to finish in fourth. They have a proud European record and have recorded three consecutive third placed finishes, which will no doubt give Los Che confidence to complete the job.
As for the rest of the contenders it will take a some luck and self-belief to have the opportunity to rub shoulders with Europe's elite next season having come this far.
Serie A
3. Milan | 51 points
4. Fiorentina | 48 points
5. Internazionale | 47 points
6. Lazio | 47 points
7. Roma | 44 points
Having lost a champions league slot to the Bundesliga meaning only three teams can qualify for the Champions League for the next few years, it has not helped fallen giants AC Milan and Inter Milan.
Inter have already missed out this season on Champions League football and whilst they are still in contention their inconsistent season may just see them miss out.
Fiorentina and Lazio have always been there and abouts and this season they are closer than ever to qualification due to wonderful respective seasons.
Milan looks on course to finish the season on a high despite champions league elimination. They have played with renewed vigour and energy in recent weeks and they look to hold off the likes of Roma who have been up and down this season and look likely to miss out on a Champions League finish for five years straight.
4. Schalke | 39 points
5. Frankfurt | 39 points
6. Hamburg |38 points
7. Mainz | 37 points
8. Freiburg | 36 points
9. Borussia Monchengladbach | 35 points
10. Hannover | 34 points
In what is arguably the most hotly contested race for the top four in Europe, the Bundesliga's additional position that has been allocated to them recently has fuelled greater competition in what is already a very competitive league.
Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen have a nice cushion in second and third which leaves seven teams within five points of one another from fourth to tenth to fight it out for the lucrative and prestigious competition that is the UEFA Champions League.
Whilst the likes of Schalke, Hamburg and Hannover and recently Monchengladbach are in contention for CL qualification each season, the rise of teams such as Frankfurt, Mainz, and Freiburg is a good sign for the Bundesliga.
Schalke have just been eliminated in the Champions League, which will aid them in their pursuit for fourth. Question marks remain on whether Frankfurt, Freiburg and Mainz can maintain their impressive seasons, while Hamburg and Monchengladbach have the pedigree to give it a real shake in what is a very exciting time for German football.
Ligue 1
3. Marseille | 50 points
4. Saint Etienne | 48 points
5. Nice | 48 points
6. Lille | 46 points
7. Montpellier | 44 points
With Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon fighting it out for the French first division title, Marseille, Saint Etienne, Nice, Lille and Montpellier are jostling for a top three position.
Champions Montpellier have been gallant in their title defence and are still fighting for Champions League qualification despite losing star man Olivier Giroud.
Saint Etienne have been on a steady rise for some time in Ligue 1 and they are breathing down Marseille's neck while surprise packages Nice and Lille round up the rest of the contenders.
We have so often seen Lyon, Marseille and Bordeaux dominate in France in recent times, however the emergence of new contenders as well as the meteoric rise of PSG means French football is in a healthy state in what is another log-jam for a top three finish.

Yankee Doodle Dandy
"Ford's Grand Opera House: Week, February 24th, Cohan and Harris offer, a new satirical comedy, The Children of Today, by Clara Lipman and Samuel Shipman. Representative Company.
"Children of Today, a play which will appeal to all classes and to every parent, is a modern satirical comedy full of fun and good sense, entertaining from start to finish. It is by Clara Lipman and Samuel Shipman and produced under the auspices of Messrs Cohan and Harris. The play is absorbing, interest involving the question of authority between a widow and her two children. ... Matinees Wednesday and Saturday. Admission 25 and 50 cents. Week March 3rd."
That was George M. Cohan and Sam Harris who offered this play. The two collaborated on projects for about 15 years. Cohan began his career in the theater as a young child and wore many hats throughout the years: singer, dancer, composer, writer and theatrical producer. Among his best known compositions: "Over There" and "Give My Regards to Broadway." James Cagney portrayed Cohan in the movie "Yankee Doodle Dandy." The play in D.C. for the cost of two bits wasn't a bad bargain.

White House visitors
From the "Washington Digest" column by William Bruckart:
"Many times I have written in these columns about the confused state of affairs in the federal government and the Roosevelt administration. ... .
"For several weeks now, we have witnessed a steady stream of callers at the White House. There have been some labor leaders but mostly the list of callers whom the President invited were the greatest of American industrialists, the 'economic royalists' whom Mr. Roosevelt has so roundly denounced from time to time, or whenever it served political purposes to attack them publicly. The purposes of having these men visit the President, as announced at the White House, were to consult and try to find ways and means of checking the current depression.
"In the meantime, the depression has sunk deeper and deeper. I frankly believe that in some localities it is right now as bad as anything we saw in 1932. Business men are frightened to death and will not expand their businesses because of the danger that they will lose everything they have and individuals are frightened and will not spend more money than absolutely necessary.
"In other words, there is again a lack of confidence that is appalling. It seems to center on Mr. Roosevelt, as it centered on Mr. Hoover in 1930 and 1931. ... That is to say, the expressions stressed statements that his policies 'lack continuity,' that he changes 'overnight,' that he attacks business with one hand and kicks it in the pants with one foot and asks it to take the load off of the government at the same time, that he takes advice 'of a lot of nincompoop's on finances who can't even balance their own household budgets.'

Fish and flight
Briefs in the Times:
"Ice Fishing Good in Northeast River: The latest sport fishing report from the Department of Tidewater Fisheries of Maryland shows that the ice fishing in the Northeast River, while the ice had started to melt at the beginning of the week, the new cold wave has frozen the ice tight again and fishing should be excellent for the weekend. Good catches of black bass and yellow perch should be available to all."
The Northeast River is in Cecil County, a tributary of the Chesapeake.
"The Army Air Forces were started Aug. 1, 1907, as the Aeronautical Division of the Signal Corps, U.S. Army. The division consisted of one officer and two enlisted men and did not carry out its first mission in its own airplane for more than a year."
In 1908, the United States government purchased a plane for the signal corps from the Wright Brothers. One site for flight instruction for those first pilots was the airstrip at College Park.
In fact, the College Park Airport is the oldest continuously operating airport in the world. If you're looking for something indoors to do on a cold winter day, the College Park Aviation Museum, not far off Route 1 near the University of Maryland, is inexpensive and especially great for kids.

The review process was interesting for me: the discussions and reviews exposes one to a diversity of opinion and perspectives that one doesn't always get in one-on-one discussions, and there is a lot to learn.
Probably even more importantly, it gives me a better sense of what kinds of papers get into SODA. With the competition being what it is (this year I believe is a record low for acceptance), the goal changes from finding papers to accept to finding papers to reject, which means that papers have be a lot more polished, a lot more relevant, and a lot more interesting (at least to some subset of reviewers) than before. A paper that is overall decent has a tough battle, because of the sheer size of the submitted set.
The main problem of scale we face (and have been doing so for a few years now), is the reviewer load, (and at 65+ papers/person, we do have an issue). The question that really comes up is: is it that the (roughly) same set of people are writing more papers, or is it that there are just more people in the SODA community ? The answer is important, because it governs how we address the issue of reviewer load.
If there are overall more people entering the community, then it makes sense to continue to increase commitee sizes, expand conference durations and/or number of papers accepted (by shortening presentation times) and other such strategies. If it is that people are writing more papers, it is less clear what one can do about this, other than starting new conferences/journals...
Returning to the issue of reviewer load, I recently heard two different radical strategies that attempt to deal with different aspects of the problem.
* To handle the case of recycled papers that go from conference to conference in the hope of finding reviewers that haven't seen them:
- Create a repository where all submitted papers are registered. When a paper is submitted to a conference, a link is set up, and then when reviews return, they are filed with the paper. If the paper is submitted again, the reviews are there to see.
Main cons: public flagellation of papers is never a good idea, and authors could always create new entries to defeat this scheme
* To handle the issue of review quality and the perception of unfairness
- once papers have been accepted, make reviews for accepted papers public (anonymously).

It's not too late to turn things round and I definitely agree with keep nursing and pumping to get your supply up. Hang in there, I am so glad she loves nursing! That can be a huge motivator. I remember clearly the first time I felt like my little girl was comforted by nursing and it really motivated me to keep going when it was so tough.

Tragedy As Receptionist Who Connected Kate Middleton Prank Callers Commits Suicide
The prank phone call saga in which two Australian DJs impersonated the queen and got connected to a nurse looking after Kate Middleton took a tragic turn today after the receptionist who put the call through reportedly committed suicide.
The Daily Mail is reporting that a receptionist at the private King Edward hospital which treated the Duchess of Cambridge was found at an address yards away from King Edward VII Hospital, where she worked, just before 9.30am yesterday.
The emergency services were called and two ambulances were despatched to the central London residence, the Mail said, adding: "Officers from Scotland Yard launched an investigation yesterday and are treating the death as 'unexplained' and that while the exact cause of death remained unclear… one source indicated that the woman appeared to have killed herself.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said yesterday: 'Police were called at approximately 9.25am on Friday, December 7, to a report of a woman found unconscious an address in Weymouth Street, W1. London Ambulance Service attended and the woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances of the incident. The death is not being treated as suspicious at this stage'.
The tragic news will heap pressure on 2dayFM, the radio station which made the call.
The station is already serving two five-year license probations after serious breaches of the Australian regulator's code.
The broadcaster was handed the first reprimand in 2009 after a 14-year-old girl was attached to a lie detector and then said live on air that she had been raped.
The girl and her mother featured in a segment called 'Lie Detector' on 2Day FM's breakfast show hosted by Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O'Neil Henderson.
The mother asked the daughter: "Have you ever had sex?" The 14-year-old replied: "I've already told you the story about this ... and don't look at me and smile because it's not funny."
After a pause, she raised her voice with frustration and said: "Oh okay, I got raped when I was 12 years old."
After a long pause, Sandilands then asked "Right ... is that the only experience you've had?" before the mother admitted she knew of the rape "a couple of months ago".
Her daughter yelled, "Yet you still asked me the question."
The regulator again ruled against the station when it found that 2DayFM's Kyle & Jackie O Show breached decency codes when broadcaster Kyle Sandilands called a female journalist a "fat slag" in November.
ACMA, said the comments were "deeply derogatory and offensive"
He was reported as saying: "What a fat bitter thing you are, you deputy editor of an online thing. You've got a nothing job anyway. You're a piece of s**t,' he said.'You're a bulls**t artist, girl. That's what you are. You should be fired from your job."
The call was made by DJs Michael Christian and Mel Greig. Greig asked to be connected to, "Kate, my grandaughter," and was put through by the receptionist.
The DJs issued an apology following a furore which erupted in the UK following broadcast of the call. The duo said in a statement: 'We were very surprised that our call was put through. We thought we'd be hung up on as soon as they heard our terrible accents. We're very sorry if we've caused any issues.
I hope those assholes are proud of themselves. That poor, poor, woman...

Wildflowers are everywhere. Next time you take a walk somewhere other than a neighborhood with manicured lawns. Wildflowers grow in fields, parks and along roadsides. And between lawn mowings, notice how many wildflowers pop up. We're thinking clover, dandelions, corn flowers and more. You may take a second look at these "weeds" after you read this post.
If you've never heard before, dandelion greens are delicious in salads and for making dandelion tea. Just make sure there is no fertilizer on the lawn before you pick them.
But we're thinking of more fun things to do with these so-called weeds and wildflowers.
Make a wildflower necklace or bracelet.
Just tie the stems around a flower with a stem hanging and keep adding flowers. this should be done right after picking so the flowers and stems will stay supple while working with them. This is a fun early morning activity for kids. Take a walk, pick some wildflowers and then watch them go to town on their creations.
Play the Shooter game with wild weeds.
You know those spindly long things that grow between grass mowing? You find them all along country roads too. Just pick a bunch and then show the kiddos how to bend and shoot the ends. I used to love doing this when I was growing up. Such a fun summer memory. If you've never done it, just fold the stem over, close to the head of the week, benind almost flat. Hold the stem together close to the head and press forward with the stem. "Zoom" goes the head. See who can shoot the farthest. It's a fun, yet harmless, little shooting game.
Press the WildFlowers.
It is fun to search for wildflowers and pretty leaves that can be pressed. And it's a perfect summer family activity. Search your own backyard or go for some walks to find the prettiest wildflowers around. As soon as you get home, put the flowers and leaves on separate pages of a heavy book. Leave these for at least a week until they flatten and dry out. You can frame these for little gifts in small frames you find at a dollar store.
Make Wildflower notecards.
After you have pressed and dried your wildflowers, try making simple notecards. You can fold a piece of cardstock to make a card. Usually a 4x6 inch card is good. Remember to cut the size to 6x8 inches, as you will be folding it in half to make the card. Arrange your flowers as desired and then use a dab of white glue to attach them to the front of your card. Cards will be fragile.

The model cycles thru netCDF data files containing all the data the coupler expects from an atmosphere model. Each file contains one year's worth of data - 365 daily mean fields. This input data must have the same domain (resolution and coordinate arrays) as the datm model. The model can cycle thru a multi-year sequence of data. Generally the input data files are created from history files that are output from the CCSM's active atmosphere component model (CAM or CCM). These files can be replaced by other data files that are in the same format. Because netCDF files are self describing, one can query the file itself for specifics about the file format.
On startup, the model reads in domain data from a netCDF file. Data exchanged with the coupler will be on the model domain. This file contains x & y coordinate arrays. The model uses a rectilinear grid with 2d coordinate arrays x(i,j) & y(i,j). Because the input atmosphere data (above) is on the same domain as the datm model, and because the input atmosphere data contains domain information, any input atmosphere data file can also serve as a domain data file. In fact, the first file in the input data file sequence is used as the domain data file
On startup, the model reads an input namelist parameter file from stdin. The model has very few input namelist parameters. Typically the only input parameters that are required are those that specify how often the model will communicate with the coupler, and those that specify the sequence of input atmosphere data files. See the section on input namelist variables for a complete list and description of namelist parameters.

Current Law Students / Re: Arkansas Class of 2008« on: May 25, 2005, 08:43:09 AM »
We are also early 30ish. We very much enjoy the outdoors -- there are a lot of hiking trails, mountian biking trails, rivers (for fishing, canoeing, rafting, etc.) close to Fayetteville (w/i an hour). It is hard to find a fixer upper that is a good deal in Fay, b/c so many people are buying right now. We decided to rent. Think we got a decent deal. We looked at buying for a while and then decided we would wait it out. Fayetteville is a great size -- small enough to not get lost and it take an hour to get across town but big enough to have some culture, decent restaurants, and an interesting night life (the university helps alot). It is great! Fayetteville and Little Rock are arguably the best places to live in Arkansas. Where else are you looking?

The field is further narrowed by the fact that to do anything useful with the devices we're talking about, you need more code than just the one associated with SoC, to use:
-the touchscreen controller (not the most difficult one as it seems to be pretty standard, but still some work)
-the audio chip (again not too difficult, except when it comes to enabling FM radio)
-the camera chip (the worst: extremely custom hardware, very different even between two models from the same manufacturer)
-gyros and accelerometers (generally the last items taken care of, so you install the ROM and it works well, you enjoy it and then, you want to try an app which uses them... Pchhhhit.)
-NFC (secure elements ahoy - good thing it is not that useful yet! But it is not gonna stay this way forever)
...And for that you need the manufacturer to be... nice. Like "pretty please? With sugar on top". So you have not only to ask the SoC manufacturer to play nice and dump code, but also the manufacturer. Apple is completely closed, RIM too, Samsung is shitting us, LG is no better, HTC has fits, the chinese (Huawei, ZTE & al.) do not give a frak, Nokia is dead; only Sony-Ericson seemed to genuinely care. And now they are assimilated into Sony, which is rather worrying.
I will get an Xperia Z, because it uses the same SoC than the Nexus 4 and I hope there are still people from Sony-Ericson with the will to share code, but... The picture is bleak.

Glafenhein (2-4) threw the first two innings in each of the Bucs' first two tournament games, and after surrendering a second inning run on Thursday, allowed just four hits the rest of the way, at one point retiring 11 consecutive batters. The junior also struck out three Owls and threw just 82 pitches, notching his first career complete game.
The Owls (30-28) took a 1-0 lead in the second inning on second baseman William Block's sacrifice fly. Designated hitter Mike McKenna led off the frame with double into center field, and moved to third on right fielder Anthony Albano's groundout, into position for Block's sac fly.
The Bucs (31-26) answered in the fourth inning, taking the lead on sophomore Anthony Russell's (
ETSU added an insurance run in the seventh inning, with Russell coming home oh senior Chuck Hargis' (
Two more runs in the eighth cemented the Buccaneer victory. Lee started the two-out eighth inning rally with a single to right field, and came all the way around to score on Courtney's double down the left field line. Russell brought Courtney around with his third hit of the game for a 5-1 lead.
Russell finished the day 3-for-4 three RBI and a run scored, and four other Buccaneers collected multiple hits on the day, as ETSU pounded out 17 hits with eight of the nine starters collecting at least one.
The Bucs will play Stetson at Saturday afternoon, and with a victory will move just one win away from their first NCAA regional bid in 25 years. Fans can watch every inning via live video streaming, and can listen to all the action through the internet or on WJCW 910 AM on the Mountain States Health Alliance Buccaneer Sports Network.

Defense carries Spartans to 14-0 win over Purdue
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Denicos Allen returned a fumble 45 yards for a touchdown, and Michigan State's offense finally added an insurance score in the fourth quarter of a 14-0 win over Purdue on Saturday.
The Spartans didn't make it past the Purdue 32-yard line until the fourth, when receiver Tony Lippett threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Gleichert on a trick play.
Michigan State (6-1, 3-0 Big Ten Conference) remains atop the Legends Division but clearly has work to do with the toughest part of its schedule still to come. Purdue (1-6, 0-3) kept it close after being routed by Wisconsin and Nebraska in its first two conference games, but Paul Griggs missed two field goals.
The Spartans entered with the nation's top-ranked defense, and Allen opened the scoring in the second quarter with Michigan State's fifth defensive touchdown of the season. Max Bullough hit quarterback Danny Etling, the ball popped free, and Allen was able to scoop it up and score easily.
Purdue converted a fourth down thanks to a penalty, which gave the Boilermakers the ball at the Michigan State 34 with 9 seconds left in the second quarter. That was as far into opposing territory as either team advanced the ball in the first half, but Griggs was short on a 51-yard field goal attempt.
Griggs also came up short from 41 yards in the third quarter, and Michigan State scored again in the fourth. Connor Cook completed a pass to Macgarrett Kings for 25 yards on third-and-12, and a 26-yard catch-and-run by Josiah Price put the ball at the Purdue 7.
Two plays later, Lippett took the ball on what looked like an end-around, but he threw to an open Gleichert for a touchdown.
Cook went 13 of 25 for 107 yards, although at one point he had only 17 yards on eight completions. Etling was 14 of 25 for 160 yards, but he also threw a crucial interception in the end zone in the first quarter, after Purdue had reached the Michigan State 37 with a fourth-down conversion.
Jeremy Langford had 131 yards on 24 carries for Michigan State.
While the Spartans were sputtering offensively, punter Mike Sadler gave them a lift, landing three punts inside the 10-yard line.

Andy hosted one of our recent monthly poker tournaments, and Gerry supplied the wines after his hard-earned victory the month before. The food was great and the wine line-up was excellent. As always, the wines were served blind, except the after-hours bottles.
White starter:
2006 Château Smith Haut Lafitte Blanc Graves. Our first wine of the afternoon smells of crushed gravel, light honey, candle wax and candied lemon, with a refined feeling of graceful lines to everything. In the mouth, it's rather pithy in texture, but with rounded flavors of lemon, honey, wax, spiced pear and herbs that are nice and giving through the middle before turning more tense and dry on the serious-feeling finish. It's got solid acidity and generous flow to it and can be enjoyed now.
Flight One:
2004 Château Clerc Milon Pauillac. This is sporting an extremely attractive nose for such a young Bordeaux, showing impressive depth and richness to the aromas of black plums, purple berries, fruitcake spices and new leather that are plump, ripe and gently sweet-toned all around. It's really lovely, and I know I wasn't the only one really taken with the bouquet. In the mouth, though, it's not nearly so luscious or friendly to my way of thinking. Instead, it's kind of cool, dry, acidic and linear in its flavors of cranberry, black cherry, earth and iron ore that are certainly savory-tinged and kind of tough-skinned at this stage of the game. I think others enjoyed it on the palate more than I did, but I personally would like to see it flesh out some more in the mid-palate before trying it again in maybe 5 years.
2001 Château Pichon-Longueville Baron Pauillac. This wine smells great, too—delivering a fine combination of suede leather, toasty brown spice and dark earth aromas to go along with appealing scents of black cherry, melted chocolate, mace and graphite that work very nicely together. It has a solid core of cool black fruit on the palate, with fine spices and bright background acidity in support. The tannins don't seem too intrusive and it's showing promising signs of early resolution despite a somewhat taciturn finish. I'd still be inclined to wait another 2-5 years on it, but it delivers nice drinking pleasure today, too.
Flight Two:
2003 Mas Doix Priorat Salanques. This wine is a bit reserved on the nose, but does pop with warm gummy aromas of candied cherry, red currant and white pepper if you really give it some aggressive swirling. In the mouth, it needs no coaxing, though, coming across as overt and giving right from the start. It features a creamy texture and plenty of plush cherry-raspberry fruit flavor. It's not all that complicated and might lack that extra gear of excitement, but it certainly offers juicy, fun and flavorful drinking for current enjoyment.
1998 Fernando Remírez de Ganuza Rioja Reserva. I think a lot of folks (including me) were put off by the strong streak of VA inherent in the bouquet of this bottle, although hidden beneath that are some more pleasing scents of leather, menthol, cherry, mushroom and pine. In the mouth, the acidity feels a bit raw and jangly, but there's also a solid dose of pasty red cherry and raspberry fruit that's pretty tasty and seems to flesh out nicely with food. It definitely grows on me, and in the end I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it more than some, though I think it was clear this was not a pristine bottle when all is said and done.
Flight Three:
1990 Château Lagrange St. Julien. This wine is just excellent all around. To begin, it's simply delightful to sniff, with deeply pleasing aromas of red currants, chocolate-covered cherries, mixed berries, spiced leather, cedar and earth rising up out of the glass in effortless fashion. It's just lovely stuff, showing great life and popping beauty. In the mouth, it's full of energy, but with a fine-tuned sensibility to the flavors of currants, cranberries and leather that I really appreciate and enjoy. It was my runner-up wine of the day.
1987 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley. Unfortunately, this was clearly an off-bottle, with pretty much everybody agreeing on that point. It smells of cooked fruit and vegetables and tastes sour, pruney and cooked on the palate. Too bad.
Flight Four:
2004 Marcarini Barolo Brunate. Boy, this is pretty on the nose, showing elegant and feminine notes of lilac water, spiced berries, dried cherries, cedar wood, birch, cola nut and tar that are really evocative and engaging. In the mouth, it's full of cherry, cranberry and darker berry fruit flavors underpinned by toasted spices and campfire smoke elements. The acidity is more juicy than austere and the tannins are shockingly reserved for such a young Marcarini. That doesn't mean there's no structure, for there certainly is, but I still couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the label and re-tasted the wine to find it still so approachable and fine-drinking right now.
2001 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta Nuova. This is a very dark, opaque-colored wine, throwing a good deal of sediment down toward the bottom of the bottle. The baked cherry aromas are somewhat high-toned and roasty, with some dark earth, clay and spice notes in reserve. On the palate, it's plummy and sweetly fig-fruited, with lots of date and exotic spice overlays. The gritty sediment kind of mars the texture for me, but in general I'm not a huge fan of the slightly over-ripe tones anyway.
Flight Five:
1997 Anderson's Conn Valley Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Reserve Napa Valley. Here one finds plush and velvety aromas of baked plums, sour cherries, raspberry candy and a bit of fireplace ash and toasted herb. It's deeply-concentrated on the palate, with sweet, sticky red cherry and raspberry fruit leading the way. It's thick and rich, with a pliant texture and a warm and rounded personality dominated by that red fruit. It could maybe use a bit more lift and energy, but it's tasty-fruited and giving.
1996 Robert Mondavi Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 30th Anniversary Reserve Napa Valley. This wine opens with very appealing aromas of black cherries, red currants, cedar wood, menthol leaf, tobacco, coffee beans and brown spices that do everything possible to draw the taster right in. In the mouth, it's full of black currant, black raspberry, earth and toasted spice flavors that show excellent structure, a tensile backbone, tons of drive and fine-grained tannins that lead to a generously lengthy finish. Overall, I'd have to say that it's drinking absolutely great. I had it as my #3 wine of the day.
1996 Opus One Napa Valley. This was a treat, starting with the heavenly aromatics featuring beautifully pure scents of leather, coffee, cassis, cherry paste and classy earth that have an almost aristocratic sensibility to them. It's even more beautiful in the mouth, where it feels plush, smooth and lusciously-fruited from start to finish. The gorgeous flavors of cassis, cherry and spice flow along with a languid ease. This is right in the zone, with a totally holistic, effortless feel. I don't recall whether others were as positive as I was, but I had this as my wine of the day, even though I think the Mondavi from the same vintage will be the longer-lived wine in the end.
Sweet wine:
1983 Château Coutet Barsac. This is a lightly golden-colored wine that features classy, restrained and refined aromas of toasted orange peel, nectarine, wild honey, lavender and copper minerality without a ton of flamboyance or showiness. In the mouth, it's similarly classy, with quiet push and a sneaky concentration of nectarine, rock sugar and dried tropical fruit flavors showing a reserved sweetness level. I like the youthful acidity and pointed focus here—both of which have me thinking this is at least a decade younger than it actually is. Far from unctuous or blowsy, this is a refined and delineated Barsac that has beautiful, pointed flavors and a lot of life yet to give.
After hours (non-blind):
2011 Etude Pinot Noir Grace Benoist Ranch Carneros. This is young and big-scaled, with a ton of exuberant wild berry, grape stem, mushroom and sarsparilla aromas playing out above some black olive/tapenade notes. In the mouth, it's definitely a young wine with plush berry fruit and a lot of brown stem and dried leaf character. It feels briery, zesty and tangy, with bold fruit but subtle tannin. It's OK now but I'd prefer to wait several years myself personally.
2004 Provenance Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Oakville Napa Valley. This opens up with an unfortunate reductive, rubber band smell before unfolding to reveal dark and serious aromas of blackberries, black plums and burnt embers. With time and air, it gets mellower and increasingly enjoyable. It's similarly serious, dark and youthfully intense on the palate, with lots of dark chocolate, blackberry, cassis and fudge flavors. It's smooth-textured and well-balanced.

Today LG announced that their Optimus One has sold one million units in just 40 days, becoming the fastest selling handset in the company's history. This Android 2.2 device can be found online for free (with contract) and is currently available on Sprint and T-Mobile and coming soon to U.S. Cellular and Verizon.
Normally we down-play the "entry-level" Android phones since they ship with outdated versions of Google's OS, but LG refers to the Optimus One as a transitional device since it features Android 2.2 and can run all the same apps as the high-end phones.
Dr. Jong-seok Park, President and CEO of LG Electronics Mobile Communications Company said, "The versatile, powerful LG Optimus One was designed to provide an easy transition into the world of smartphones and as these numbers demonstrate, there is obviously a strong demand for this type of device . Optimus One seems to be what many customers were waiting for, proving that smartphones aren't just for early adopters anymore."
We have recently been playing with the international version of the Optimus One (LG-P500) and I can easily say it is the best low-priced Android phone for someone looking to transition into their first smartphone. I've been impressed with the performance LG squeezed out of the 600 MHz processor and the 1500 mAh battery runs for days.
For more information on the Optimus One visit the official site. Check back later this week for our final thoughts, benchmarks, and mini-review.

Grand's first goal was scored by sophomore Koby Sobremesana on a penalty kick in the first half. Richfield later came back to tie the game with a goal by Noah Mesi. But with about 10 minutes left in the contest, Sobremesana struck again, weaving through multiple defenders to kick a shot from the right side into the net. The Red Devils held on to win, giving Grand a 6-6 final region record and the No. 4 spot in the 2A East division.
With the victory, Grand earned a date at the state playoffs, which are scheduled to get underway Wednesday, May 1 at the home fields of the higher-seeded schools.
The Red Devils will travel to Ogden to take on the 2A Central division's top team, the St. Joseph Jayhawks, at 4 p.m. St. Joseph has a 9-0 record in region play this season, having scored 40 goals over those nine games while only allowing opponents to score four.
The 2A state soccer tournament is single-elimination. The second-round games are scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 4, also at the home fields of the higher-seeded schools.

RALEIGH, NC (WMBF) - This week, Coastal Carolina joins Duke, Virginia, Tennessee and several other big name schools at PNC Arena for a weekend of games as the NCAA Tournament is off and running.
Friday night's game will be broadcast in front of the nation, but on the day before, the arena belonged to the Chants for a little while as they worked in a practice session. Media from throughout the country was on hand to study Coastal Carolina as the team tries to get put on the map. But nothing can do that better than getting a win tomorrow night. However, as for right now, head coach Cliff Ellis is pointing out to his players just how important this moment is in their lives.
"I want our guys to enjoy it. This has been great for the university, been great for the Grand Strand area, and it's a special time," he said.
On the other side of the court tomorrow night, Virginia will be waiting. The Cavs are in search of their first victory in the NCAA Tournament since 2007. UVA's offense has been on target much of the season, but the reason they're a one seed and ranked fourth in the nation is because of their scoring defense. Virginia is tops in the country, allowing just more than 55 points per game. It expects to be difficult, but CCU thinks they've handled similar challenges before
"We'll go at this team the same way we went at Ole Miss," added Ellis. "The same way we went at Minnesota, we'll do it all the same way."
Coastal lost by two to Ole Miss and by ten at Minnesota earlier this season. Tipoff against Virginia is approximately 9:25 Friday night.

TEMPE, Ariz. – The UC Santa Barbara softball team opened the 2012 campaign on Thursday afternoon against No. 9/14 Tennessee (1-0) at the Kajikawa Classic, which is being hosted by Arizona State. The Gauchos were unable to overcome the national powerhouse, falling 7-0 to the Lady Vols.
Sophomore Andriana Collins (0-1) suffered the loss in the circle after giving up five runs, three of which were earned, on seven hits in 4.1 innings worth of work. She struck out three and walked two batters. Freshman Shelby Wisdom tossed 1.2 innings of relief during her first appearance for the Gauchos. The hurler allowed two hits and two walks.
Collins opened the game by striking out the first three batters she faced at the bottom of the first, but Tennessee pitcher Ellen Renfroe quickly returned the favor and struck out the next three Gaucho batters.
Madison Shipman led off for the Lady Vols at the bottom of the second inning with a solo home run over the center field fence. An error following a sacrifice bunt attempt two plays later allowed Shelby Burchell to score from first base and an RBI single by Ashley Andrews pushed the Tennessee lead to 3-0.
At the top of third with two outs, freshman DeJanee Moore swung at the first pitch and sent a single to left field for the first and only Gaucho hit of the game. Renfroe struck out the next batter, leaving UCSB's lone base runner of the game stranded at first.
Lauren Gibson added the Lady Vols' lead at the bottom of the third with a home run hit down the left field line.
After a scoreless fourth inning, Shipman was able to send another Tennessee runner home with a single through the left side.
Trailing 5-0, UCSB made its pitching change. Gibson scored on a wild pitch and Burchell drove home Shipman before Wisdom shutdown the Lady Vol onslaught.
Renfroe was impressive for Tennessee, pitching a complete game one-hitter with 11 strikeouts.
UCSB will continue action at the Kajikawa Classic on Friday as they face Bradley at 7:30 a.m. and Oregon at 10 a.m. (times listed as Pacific).

Kids' Murals To Get Your Creative Juices Flowing
I like my kids' rooms with only one lump of sugar, not two. Because you don't need lavender kittens with bows to signal that a wee one's in there. These five rooms, featuring large scale painted murals, are great because they are certainly kid-friendly, without being overly twee. Each is strong, graphic, and perfect inspiration for parents who want to get creative.
1. This super interactive mural from The Madras Designery features both chalkboard and pin-up areas that kids can use to add to the scenery themselves.
2. Tereasa from Camp Wandawega created this amazing and kitschy paint-by-number mural for her son. Perfect for their spot in the Wisconsin woods. via The Lettered Cottage
3. This pretty chinoiserie-style mural, by Kristen Davis for a client, shows that soft and subtle works wonders too.
4. Max approves of Pacquita Maher's recreation of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are. I love dark and brooding for a kid's room.
5. Annie and her husband Eric used (a lot of) painters tape to get this muted city skyline perfect for their son Victor's nursery. Check out photos to see the whole process, and be amazed.

Normal StarsThe intense heat in the atmosphere of stars like the Sun frees some of the electrons from their atoms. Because of this, the magnetic fields are dragged along with the rising and falling gas. An additional complication is that the star is rotating. The up-and-down motion, coupled with the round and round motion of rotation, twists the magnetic field and increases its strength. Twisted, magnetized tubes of gas rise high above the surface of the star. There they unwind, releasing stored energy. (Try twisting and untwisting a rubber band and you get an idea of this process.)
The release of magnetic energy can occur steadily and provide for the heating of the tubes of hot gas which make up the stellar corona. Or it can occur violently and produce flares. Flares can occur on the Sun at any time, but their frequency tends to rise from a peak of five to ten a day and fall to less than one per day in a cycle of about eleven years. Solar flares can shower the Earth in high-energy particles. A strong one can disrupt radio communications and produce spectacular displays known as the Northern and Southern Lights. Flares may even have a subtle but important effect on our weather.

Philadelphia Eagles' left tackle Jason Peters was arrested in Louisiana Wednesday on charges of drag racing and resisting a police officer by flight.
The arrest affidavit claims Deputy L. Deal saw Peters's white Camaro race an adjacent blue sedan after a traffic light turned green. When the officer turned his emergency lights on the sedan pulled over but the Camaro, driven by Peters, accelerated and exited U.S. 165 North.
Peters's camaro reportedly exceeded speeds of 100 mph when the deputy was in pursuit. He eventually pulled over at a shopping center where the officer ordered him to exit the vehicle. Peters was then handcuffed, arrested and transported to Ouachita Correctional Center. He was booked on charges of drag racing and resisting by flight.
"We are aware of the reports that Jason Peters was arrested this morning in Louisiana," the Eagles said in a statement. "We have been in contact with Jason and due to the legal nature of this matter we will not have any further comment at this point."

Cha-Ching: Edith Windsor To Recieve More Than $700,000 After DOMA Ruling
The major DOMA victory comes with more than just becoming an instant historical figure and civil rights hero: Edith Windsor will walk away with more than $700,000 thanks to her win against the discriminatory same-sex marriage ban.
The Supreme Court decision this week striking down the Defense of Marriage Act means a lot of things to a lot of people. But to Edith Windsor, the plaintiff who brought the case, the landmark ruling also means she will finally get back the $638,000 in estate tax payments she had to make to the IRS and to New York State after her spouse -- Thea Spyer -- died in 2009. Windsor will also be paid interest on her refunds. Paul, Weiss, the law firm that represents her, estimates she will receive about $45,000 in interest on her federal refund and $25,000 on her New York State refund. The other good news for the 83-year-old Windsor? Her lawyers won't be getting a cut because Paul, Weiss took the case pro bono.

Woodard posts his 2nd straight double-double, but young Tulsa loses 71-54 to No. 17 Bluejays
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
OMAHA, Neb. – Tulsa brought one of the youngest teams in the nation to CenturyLink Center to face one of the most experienced in No. 17 Creighton.
The Golden Hurricane's 71-54 loss Wednesday night surprised no one. That didn't make it any easier for first-year coach Danny Manning to accept.
"Our goals are to win every game we play," he said. "Our goal is to go out and work hard, compete and execute our offensive and defensive schemes on both ends. Tonight we didn't do that enough. We have to be able to execute regardless of the situation, regardless of where we're playing.
"Youth is no excuse. This is the team that we have. It's not going to change. We have to get better each and every day and continue to build."
Creighton's Avery Dingman scored 14 of his career-high 21 points in the second half, and Doug McDermott overcame a slow start to score 16. Gregory Echenique added 15 points and eight rebounds for the Bluejays (11-1), who won their fifth straight.
James Woodard had 15 points and 10 rebounds to lead Tulsa (6-5), which shot 38 percent and committed a season-high 25 turnovers.
Woodard was 4 of 10 from the field, 5 of 5 on free throws and had four steals in the second straight double-double for the freshman guard.
"James came in early in the year and scored the ball at a very good clip, and teams have adjusted and they guard him a little bit different," Manning said. "Now he's trying to figure out how teams are guarding him. The one thing I'll say is he continues to compete on the defensive end and obviously he's a very good rebounder. He's a talented player, but he needs to continue to work and get better."
Tulsa's roster includes seven freshmen and one sophomore. Among the 13 players, the Hurricane has just 12 years' playing experience at the college level.
Creighton returned nine of the top 10 players from the team that won a game in the NCAA tournament and is favored to win the Missouri Valley Conference.
The Bluejays converted Tulsa's 25 turnovers into 32 points.
"Their defense was pretty good to cause some of those turnovers," Manning said, "but we as a team, there are times we need to be stronger with the basketball. That didn't happen for the most part tonight. Good teams take advantage of it. They're definitely a good team, and they most definitely took advantage of it."
Dingman was good on his first seven shots and made a career-high five 3-pointers, getting friendly bounces off the rim and backboard on his third and fourth tries. Dingman also had three steals to go with three rebounds.
McDermott, averaging 23.7 points and coming off games of 30 and 34 points, was just 4 of 9 from the field but made 7 of 8 free throws.
The visitors from Conference USA, who trailed by 22 points in the middle of the second half, got a 3 from Scottie Haralson and two free throws from James Woodard to cut the deficit to 12 with 5:03 left.
McDermott's two free throws and Dingman's 3-pointer pushed the lead to 64-47 with four minutes left.
Echenique's performance helped offset an otherwise miserable start for the Bluejays, who turned over the ball six times in the first six minutes and 10 times in the opening half.
With his parents from Venezuela watching him in person for the first time this season, Echenique scored 10 of the Bluejays' first 14 points.
The 6-foot-9, 260-pounder had two thunderous dunks early. The second came after Zeldric King, whose momentum carried him out of bounds along the baseline, tried to throw the ball off of Dingman's leg. Dingman made a sudden move, causing King to miss, and Echenique picked up the ball and slammed it in.
It was a tough start for McDermott, who was trying to become the first Creighton player with three straight 30-point games since Benoit Benjamin in 1985.
McDermott, who had 35 in a win over Tulsa last season, drew lots of attention from the Hurricane and seemed out of sync until he hit a 3-pointer from the corner to put the Bluejays up 46-28 with 13:35 left.
Kauri Black held McDermott in check for much of the game, but at one point four defenders swarmed him after he took an entry pass. He missed five of his first six shots, including a couple near air balls, and was held to five points in the first half.
Tulsa struggled more than the Bluejays, missing 12 of its first 15 shots, committing 13 turnovers in the opening half and not reaching double figures until more than 15 minutes had elapsed.

Here is an article I published on my website about the number of megapixels needed in a digital camera. I hope it'll be useful to some of you in this forum.
How Many Megapixels Do You Really Need in a Digital Camera?
by Gary Hendricks
If you're out buying a digital camera, then one of the key deciding factors is the number of megapixels supported. The number of megapixels determines the how good your photos turn out. If you have too few megapixels, then your pictures will turn out crappy. Investing in a camera with too many megapixels, on the other hand, is an unnecessary waste of money.
Personally, I feel that if you have unlimited funds, then, by all means go for that high end 8 megapixel camera. Otherwise, you certainly don't want to waste money on extra megapixels you don't need.
A golden rule to bear mind: a camera with more megapixels isn't always better. If your camera supports more megapixels, then each photo you take will be larger. This means that you'll use up more space on your memory cards and computer's hard drive.
If you have trouble deciding how many megapixels you need (I know I did when I bought my first digital camera), then the guide below will help. Essentially, you need to ascertain what size prints you want to get and what your budget is, before deciding on how many megapixels you want. So here we go:
1 megapixel or less: Cameras in this range (e.g. web cameras or cell phone cameras) have very low image resolution. Don't expect to be able to print high-quality photos using these cameras. You can, however, email the photos or post them on your web site. The good thing about such cameras, of course, is their low price.
1 to 2 megapixels: My first digital camera was a Canon PowerShot S110 which only had a 2 megapixel sensor. Cameras in this range are pretty decent though - you can expect to print out great 4x6 prints at this resolution. Of course, if you want larger, blown-up protraits of your birthday party or holiday in Italy, then I would certainly recommend getting more megapixels. Cameras in this range should sell for around $100 currently.
3 to 4 megapixels: Most new point-and-shoot cameras these days tend to have at least 3 to 4 megapixel image resolution. Bring these images to the lab and they'll be able to develop great looking 4x6, 5x7 and even 6x9 printouts. Expect to pay slightly more though - we're looking at around $250 for a good model.
5 megapixels and up: The more advanced cameras tend to have image resolutions of 5 to 8 megapixels. Newer point-and-shoot cameras have 5 megapixels, while the newer digital SLRs come with 8 megapixels. The quality of images shot by these cameras is simply stunning. Of course, their price tags are equally stunning . In this megapixel category, expect to pay around $300 for a 5 megapixel camera and up to $1800 for an 8 megapixel SLR.
Well, now you know roughly the number of megapixels you should be shooting for depending on your intended usage and budget for the camera. My general advice is, if you're just an amateur photographer, then don't buy cameras above 5 megapixels. When you are really serious about digital photography and want to go professional, then consider buying a super high megapixel camera.

Eric Paris, a SELinux developer, has announced today a new SELinux feature: "Dan and I (mostly Dan) have started to play with using SELinux to confine random untrusted binaries. The program is called 'sandbox.' The idea is to allow administrators to lock down tightly untrusted applications in a sandbox where they can not use the network and open/create any file that is not handed to the process. Can be used to protect a system while allowing it to run some untrusted binary."

LOS ANGELES (AP) A former intern for the Los Angeles Clippers is accusing the team and its owners, the Sterling Family Trust, of violating labor laws by not paying its interns.
In a federal class action lawsuit filed Tuesday, former intern Frank Cooper says he was never paid although he worked 40 to 50 hours per week. For two months in 2012, Cooper worked in the NBA team's fan relations department, where he made calls to season-ticket holders and helped organize basketball clinics.
The lawsuit seeks back pay, damages, and attorney's fees for Cooper and other Clippers interns, according to his lawyer, Maurice Pianko.
Attorneys for Donald and Shelly Sterling didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

EXCLUSIVEThe reason Rob Kardashian ditched his big sister Kim's wedding was simple ... he didn't want to take wedding pics because of his weight gain.
Sources close to the Kardashian clan tell TMZ ... Rob has become so insecure and depressed about his appearance ... he refused to be in the family wedding pics, despite his family's encouragement.
We're told the Kardashians were heartbroken and tried to support Rob, saying he doesn't look bad ... but he still wasn't down to pose
Things got heated because the more they insisted, the more Rob dug in his heels ... and eventually he made the call to fly home alone.

2012 Tour Stop #8 - The Big Apple Barbecue Block PartyJune 10, 2012
This was our second year at the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party so we kind of had an idea of the load-in issues we would face, but we never imagined the issues we would have just getting in to Manhattan! First, our GPS sent us to the Holland Tunnel, which does not allow trailers. Luckily, an NYPD officer directed us to the Lincoln Tunnel, which would have been great if the cars actually let us over to the off-ramp. If you can imagine, there were probably 10 lanes of traffic that had to merge into six. At the end of the tunnel, we were unable to turn right so we had another adventure in navigating the streets to our spot on 5th Avenue and 25th Street. By the time we arrived, our nerves were shot and I would have been just as happy to just drive right out of the city but oh, it gets better. As I had to back into our spot, the event guys held back traffic. One taxi driver must have been in a hurry because as I was backing up, I see this fellow jump out of his taxi and rush a couple of the event guys. After nearly an hour of time, a couple of moved boulders and many stressed nerves, we finally got into our spot.
After getting all of our Reser's® Potato Salad samples and prepping our Smithfield® products with Weber® Just Add Juice™, we ate dinner with our good friends Seth and Erika from Gallo Wineries. As if we didn't have enough stress for the day, we took a cab to the restaurant. I think our driver's name was Mario Andretti; I'm not sure he knew which pedal was the brake. We walked back to our hotel...
On Saturday, our helpers arrived early to help prep for the day. We were grateful to have KCBS members Don and his children help over the weekend in addition to James, who was my grill man last year. We were honored to have also had Scott, a NYC fireman, help us out.
On Sunday morning, I visited the cook teams in Madison Square Garden Park. Mike Mills with 17th Street BBQ opened his double-wide Ole Hickory Pits™ smoker and showed off the prettiest pig in the park. Not sure the locals would appreciate the time and effort it took to cook it, but I'm sure they appreciated the awesome pork goodness! I also had a chance to visit with Tommy and Lisa Houston with Checkered Pig whose team won the weekend before at the Hog Happenin event in Lincolnton, N.C.
Sunday was another beautiful day in New York City. There was a Puerto Rican parade in uptown Manhattan which trickled down to the barbecue event. The crowds kept coming and we passed out all of our Smithfield® pork samples and Castle Wood Reserve® meats and cheeses!
When we got to the trailer Monday morning, we found the boulders moved back and we were somewhat stuck. Since I'm now a professional driver, I threaded the eye of the needle and squeaked between the boulder and a street sign to get out. Traffic was much better early in the morning than the previous Friday afternoon. Next time we visit, I hope it's via anything but a 40-foot BBQ trailer!

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Black Market Serotonin - "Something from Nothing Parts I-V" live at SSR Manchester
Artist Bio:
Black Market Serotonin is a three-piece Manchester-based electronic rock band. Combining smatterings of prog and some cerebral pop elements, their sound draws deeply upon 90s alternative bands like Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, Vex Red and Failure. Coming from varying musical backgrounds, but with a shared artistic and philosophical vision, the band came together to produce walls of noise and synth-laden soundscapes fuelled by a passion for music and a frustration at the 21st Century's measures of happiness.
After forming in mid 2010 and working hard to refine their sound and live performance, the trio released the "DeadByFiveOClock" EP to rapturous online reviews. Dom Lawson from Classic Rock: Prog described it as "an important line drawn in the creative sand"; 2013 will see them make good on this promise, with the release of Something from Nothing through Manchester label Superstar Destroyer Records.
About The Video:
Black Market Serotonin all 5 parts of the title track from their upcoming debut album "Something From Nothing" at the School of Sound Recording, Manchester. Video from multiple angles over two takes and audio from one of those takes.

Try these two easy-to-make crafts for Valentine's Day — or any romantic event.
Valentine's Day Card
- Colored card stock
- Heart stencil
- Fabric scraps
- Embellishments (ribbon, buttons, rhinestones, etc.)
- Perfect Glue 1
- White pencil
- Scissors
- Decorative-edged scissors (optional)
- Small paintbrush
- Toothpick
Trace heart shapes onto colored card stock with white pencil; cut out. Embellish as desired.
To add fabric: Using a small paintbrush, apply a very thin, even coat of Perfect Glue 1 to the surface of card-stock heart. Lay a strip of fabric over the heart, lightly smoothing it out with your finger. Dry for 10 to 15 minutes before adding other adornments. Trim with decorative scissors or add ribbon and other embellishments, as desired. Tip: Heavier fabrics tend to work best.
To add embellishments: For tiny items, such as thin ribbon or small buttons, use the end of a toothpick to add a small amount of Perfect 1 glue.
Valentine's Day Vase
- Cylindrical glass or metal vase
- Fabric (2 colors or prints)
- Ribbon
- Perfect Glue 1
- Rotary cutter or scissors
- Cutting mat (optional)
- Ruler
- Iron
- Clothespin
For the bottom layer (closest to the vase), cut a piece of fabric large enough to cover vase, with 1/4 inch allowance on all four sides of the square piece of fabric. Fold top and bottom edges 1/4 inch and then iron.
Cut another piece of fabric narrower than the first, with same 1/4 inch allowance (this will be for the second layer). Fold over and iron edges, as before. Apply a thin line of Perfect Glue 1 to top and bottom edges of narrower piece of fabric; glue to the larger piece of fabric (the base). Layer ribbon over fabric and glue. Once dry (approximately 1 hour), wrap layered fabric band around vase. First apply a thin line of glue to one end of the side panel and glue to vase. Then glue the other end of the side panel over the first; secure with a clothespin at the top edge while drying.
