We are an electronic/industrial/ebm band band that is about to break onto the Portland, Oregon music scene. We are looking for a cool logo that will help identify our band persona. There's not much up there, but you can check out our website at http://www.monodyweb.com to get an idea of who we are. There is also a short sound clip available at: http://monodyweb.com/Monody/Media_f…lip%29.mp3
Its not much, but we are working on our first batch of recordings right now.
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai); Layered Formats (.psd or .tiff)
We would like a logo that's not too "busy", so it can be used on varying mediums without being too small. Multi-color is fine, as long as the logo also looks good if we have to use it in black (or one-color) and white (eg., for certain types of merchandise). I think we had in mind something revolving around a Capital "M" which may or may not have the entire word of "Monody" in it.
It would be nice to have it in a vector (eg., PDF or Adobe Illustrator) format so we can blow it up on a nice banner to go behind the band when we play.
Here's some keywords that may help: Dark, Stoic, Monolithic, Simple, Electronic, Synthesis. Our website front page has some definitions of the word "Monody" that may help inspire you. Thanks much!

We need a variant on our "parent" (legalspan) company logo for a division specializing in webcasting.
Desired Color Scheme:
light blue to dark blue
Desired Style:
technology, futuristic
Accepted File Formats:
psd (or ai)
This is primarily a graphic logo although a great choice in fonts with "streamdispatch" would be welcome(or "streamdispatch.com" plug) although all instances of text should not intersect or intertwine with the graphic logo.
As stream dispatch is a department within Legalspan and the website will be included under our main companies web domain - we're looking to create our own logo identity while remaining consistent with the color scheme. This departments primary focus is in technology in running webcasts, doing videography and the capturing and encoding of video.
Basically we're looking for a variant on this logo to remain somewhat consistent with our company yet changed enough to have have it's own unique identity. The color scheme should remain fairly close to this also. Disregard the "Legalspan" in the below graphic and replace with "streamdispatch" and font matching isn't any sort of prerequisite.
The company name dissected has to do with "stream"ing video and "dispatch" in dispatching from a command center/hq standpoint if this helps. Stream definately has nothing to do with water. Webcasting/Technology is the feel.

a lot more than coffee On the job and on the go principal Bill Jeffares visits a match manufacturing plant where the dipping process is so secret no photographs are allowed. Elsewhere principal Bob Moore chats with the controller as they move around giant dies slambanging in a General Motors installation that spreads over acres. They live and work in two cities which are about 300 miles apart in a country that counts such a distance as inconsequential; the cities are linked by an "air bridge" which connects both metropolises with turboprop service every hour on the hour. Detroit? Chicago? No. It is February, yet both men are perspiring. They are chatting with client executives in Portuguese. Bill and Bob are both with the Firm in Brazil. Bill is based in Rio and Bob in Sao Paulo. And in the Southern Hemisphere it is summer. If the practice of accountancy is basically the same, the setting is paradoxical. The bustle and energy of Brazil, the steady growth of commerce and industry, set up familiar vibrations among the U.S. and British citizens who are making a new home through assignment to Deloitte, Haskins & Sells. The cities scale upward to the constant clatter of new construction. The traffic jams rival London or New York in their busiest hours. And yet it is Brazil... the insouciant lilt of the bossa nova and samba . . . the heritage of Africa and of Europe in one . . . the beach life that goes on each day of the year. .. the annual free-for-all that is Carnival. Brazil is a nation on the way to the top. Yet she knows how to have a good time, too. This is a country that, as the expression goes, "has everything," although her economic development was comparatively late starting. She was discovered eight years after the Columbus landing—1500—by the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral. She achieved her independence from Portugal—and a new monarch - i n 1822. She did not become a republic until November 15, 1889. Size. On a mercator projection Brazil is South America's crag-nosed "face" staring east into Africa. She takes up fully one third of South America and is actually larger than the U.S., excluding Alaska. Variety. Living happily together and sharing one another's cultural heritage is a range of ethnic stocks—Caucasian, Oriental, Indian, black and all shadings between. Cementing the variety of traditions is a pride in Brazil's Portuguese heritage, unique in South America. Topographically the country puts barely explored jungle next to semi-arid grasslands; pushes lushly fertile farmlands next to abruptly thrusting mountains and plateaus. The world's largest river system—the Amazon—waters the sparsely populated north as oversized cities cling timidly to the coast in the central and northern sectors of a shoreline that is veritably all beach. Climate. The farther south you go the cooler it gets, but the climate is always equable the year around, Sao Paulo is the second largest city in South America, a sprawling metropolis of more than six million people. This view was taken from the roof of Edificio Italia. The cylindrical building on the right is the new Hilton hotel under construction and to be operated by Hilton International Co., a client of Haskins & Sells. Edificia Italia, with forty-three floors, is Sao Paulo's tallest and most photographed building, a prime example of ultramodern Brazilian architecture. Since September 1969 the building has been home to the Sao Paulo Office, which has purchased one and one-half floors.

This is the portal of COWAM Network activities.
The reports of the COWAM 2 project are now available directly here.
COWAM is both a network and a cooperative research programme running from the year 2000 with support from the European Commission.
In 2000-2003 the first COWAM project created a European network on radioactive waste governance. The first interest of the initiative was to establish connections between territories concerned by radioactive waste in Europe. Local actors have long been isolated in these issues. The COWAM seminars were a novel opportunity to exchange views, issues and good practices among local communities, all facing similar concerns. Local communities have a genuine interest in governance because they consider not only the issue of radioactive waste management as a technical problem, but as a key challenge for the development of their territories and the life equilibrium of the population. The network also included experts, implementers and regulators in order to elaborate a common understanding of the issues at stake, and to propose as far as possible a joint analysis by the major stakeholders commonly concerned by the quality of RWM decision-making processes. The practical outcome of this first project was to come up with a research framing of radioactive waste governance.
The second COWAM project (2004-2006) built a research partnership between stakeholders and research contractors on each of these four key issues, and supported continued networking efforts. With this partnership, stakeholders have had the opportunity to frame and feed the production of knowledge so that it better addresses the questions they identified as the most relevant to improve the robustness of decision-making processes in radioactive waste management.
Alongside these transversal products, country-bound National Insight papers agreed by the range of participating stakeholders were published by COWAM 2.
The essential question raised by institutional decision-makers as well as by local communities concerns the implementation of these good practices and principles of decision-making. Significant steps were already taken in some countries during the COWAM 2 project. There is a need for a continuous and enlarged support to these efforts in Europe. The question is all the more relevant and pressing that having reviewed their past difficulties, many countries are now entering a new phase in RWM and attempting to implement innovative and inclusive governance approaches.
The originality of this project lies in a cooperative research approach, successfully experimented in the COWAM 2 project: with a direct participation of stakeholders in the research groups and in the Steering Committee, the architecture of the project is purposely designed for the stakeholders to effectively influence and feed the project throughout its progress.

Go ahead and concede the NFC North to the Chicago Bears if you wish.
Getting Julius Peppers and Chester Taylor on the first day of free agency is a nice haul. (They've also agreed to terms with tight end Brandon Manumaleuna).
What does this have to do with the Raiders?
Nothing, really, except it's a bigger version of what Oakland did in 2005, when it spent big to sign defensive end Derrick Burgess and running back Lamont Jordan.
Burgess was nowhere near Peppers' pedigree, although the Bears would probably be happy with the 16 sacks the defensive end put up in Oakland his first year.
And Taylor is a more proven back than Jordan, considerably older at 30 but having split time with Adrian Peterson for less wear and tear in recent years.
His first year in Oakland, Jordan rushed for 1,025 yards and nine touchdowns and caught 70 passes for 563 yards and two more scores in 14 games before missing the last two games with a knee injury.
Again, Chicago could live with that kind of production from Taylor.
What did Burgess and Jordan bring the Raiders in 2005? They went from 5-11 to 4-12.
The thing about free agency is this _ if you haven't built a solid foundation, get good quarterback play and have strong systems of football, a flashy pass rusher and a 1,000-yard runner won't do a lot to change things.
The Bears' season will be all about what Mike Martz can do with quarterback Jay Cutler.
Jumping to more free agent conclusions:
— Figured the Raiders were probably safe in giving Bruce Gradkowski a second-round tender. Gradkowski was dumped by both St. Louis and Cleveland before ended up in Oakland _ three of the worst teams over the past few years in the NFL (what, the Lions weren't interested?).
Now I'm not sure sure.
If A.J. Feeley can get a two-year, $6 million contract from St. Louis, then who's to say Gradkowski can't come back with an offer sheet?
Then do the Raiders match it or take the pick?
— Are the Raiders a silent bidder for the services of Anquan Boldin by trade?
Doubtful. He'll want a new contract with huge money, and he's a run-after-catch receiver and not the downfield type preferred by you-know-who.
I'd like to see the Raiders go after a veteran like Derrick Mason or Chris Chambers, but suspect they're expecting a full season out of Chaz Schilens, another step up the ladder from Louis Murphy and dramatic improvement from Darrius Heyward-Bey instead.
— There's something to be said for JaMarcus Russell's quiet offseason (especially if he's been getting in shape) other than a couple of jewelry-laden courtside appearances. Just ask Ben Roethlisberger.
— Grady Jackson's available again, but he's 37 and just got cut by the Detroit Lions. In Jackson's favor is the Raiders line coach, Mike Waufle, was the line coach for Jackson's last two years as a Raiders in 2000 and 2001.
— Remember thinking when Gibril Wilson got big money from the Miami Dolphins that someone hadn't watched the film too closely. After pocketing $24 million in bonus money from the Raiders and Dolphins, he's free to find another victim.
In the interest of disclosure, I thought Wilson was a good acquisition when the Raiders signed him as an unrestricted free agency.
Another reason why I tend to be skeptical when it comes to signing free agents.
The bottom line?
For all the talk about budgets and business, teams tend to keep players they want to keep, and free agents are on the market for a reason.

I think that I am one of those people who needs one of those light boxes during the winter months. I'm an outside girl and I can get down and out quickly with the prospect of the 4 months of cold we get here in the Bluegrass State. So today I'm focusing on the things that I LOVE about winter to ward off those winter blues:
1. There is NO need to shave. When no desire to shave meets no need to shave, this girl is HAPPY (and hairy on my legs like no one's business).
2. Keebler Almond Crescents. Do you eat these? Oh Mah Word. They are da bomb and they only are in stores from Thanksgiving til Christmas. If your name is Megan Terry you have strategically learned to go and clean out the store the day after Christmas.
3. Toboggans. Nothing cures a bad hair day like a cute toboggan. Same with a scarf. Nothing disguises turkey neck and neck fat like a good scarf.
4. Apple Cider and Cinnamon scented candles. It's like a little vacation for your nose.
5. Bralessness. When it's freezing outside and I need to run out of the house to get the kids off the bus or run to the quickie mart, I can just throw my puffy winter coat on and no one can tell that I'm not wearing a bra underneath. Score!
6. Unexpected snow days. Here, we get out of school if someone spits and it makes a slick spot on the roads. Which means that we get to sleep in but can still get out and do fun things.
7. Hot chocolate with marshmallows. Lately, I've been putting one of those giant campfire marshmallows on top of the hot chocolate and then nuking it so that it makes marshmallow goo in the top of the mug. We are all in love.
8. Craigslist. Have y'all noticed how Craigslist explodes this time of the year? People are purging and trying to make a little bit of money to buy new junk and I've scored some crazy deals on Craigslist this winter. It's a great place to pick up things that Santa's elves can't figure out how to make. Like a new to me stove. I doubt Santa could fit that in his sleigh.
9. Butter. Everything that one wants to make at this time of the year requires butter. As someone who usually restricts the purchasing of real butter, I love splurging in the winter for some good salted butter. It's the little things in life.
10. Christmas music, Christmas lights, Christmas trees, Christmas plays, Christmas music and the four main food groups at Christmas: candy, candy canes, candy corns, and syrup.
What's on your list?

High on breathtaking action and bro-feels!
Captain America: Civil War subtly disembarks crucial Marvel characters into the MCU grounds without overlooking the originals. There is a morsel for everybody, as they get a shot at each other with some rad action to ice the intriguing melodramatic plot. Nobody gets left out with their screen time, which was a Herculean thing to achieve. Marvel simply aced it.
Bro-feels are hopping around throughout the movie as you see Cap and Iron Man digress from their paths to go against each other, in a gradually developing storyline. You can't help but feel sorry for both of them as they try to rip each other apart. Like other characters in the movie you end up taking sides yourselves. Iron Man is understandable but Captain America can't be written off either. Both are on such pedestals of morality that Civil War between them becomes inevitable.
Action is sheer bonkers! So many cool stunning bits that you have to see the movie again to keep your cross-hairs locked. The biggest action driver is no doubt the Winter Soldier again, as Bucky Barnes ravages through every one who tries to either stop or catch him. Watch out for that highway action scene! He single handedly decimates every superhero who comes in his way. Black Panther gets introduced brilliantly to the tale. So does Spidey! Looking forward to watching their solo movies now.
Civil War is high on humour just like any Marvel movie is, with Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie and Paul Rudd doing us the honors of throwing us off into non-stop guffaws. Brilliantly penned screenplay as usual with great music to cover things up. Editing is exceptional as well.
Captain America: Civil War's drama lets you dig deeper into the heads of the superheroes, and make them fairly relatable. You can't help but relate your plight to these characters who get hammered under egotism, friendship, choices and conscience. Despite everything the movie packs in, you have to establish hands down that Iron Man stays the coolest, and Captain America undoubtedly the finest!
The weird thing about Captain America: Civil War is that you divide the movie into sub-sections and you still get awesome mini-movies that hit extraordinary feat per se. Wrap those little plots and there's the big one that reveals like an eye-opener eventually in the climax.
One downside could be that there is no true villain in the movie. Rather a pointer that directs them into mangling each other to gnaw at the team from inside.
Not going into the spoilers much I would recommend you go get on this awesome bandwagon called Captain America: Civil War at once, and enjoy the thrilling action-packed bromancing ride. Watch it over and over if you wish to relive its classy mind-numbing action.

ROCKFORD — Through the first two weeks of the season, the biggest change noticed by golfers playing the five Rockford Park District courses are tee times at any time, both over the phone at each of the courses or at 815-968-PLAY for all the courses, or online at golfrockford.org.
In previous years, tee times were offered only for every other round, and on weekdays only between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Golfers accustomed to simply showing up at Sandy Hollow, Elliot, Ingersoll and Sinnissippi have been apprehensive.
"It's not as different as people think," said Duncan Geddes, the Park District's director of golf. "We're not trying to make it harder. We're trying to make it easier.
"I think once people get used to it, they will really like it."
With tee times, golfers can know exactly when they are playing instead of risking a logjam at the tee.
"And if we're busy, I can check on the computer and maybe get them a tee time in a half hour at Sandy Hollow or Elliot," Ingersoll manager Steve Moore said.
The system is especially helpful to golfers who pay daily greens fees instead of buying a season pass. Because tee times also let the golf course know in advance how many people are planning to play, the Park District now offers discounts on slow days the way priceline.com and other websites offer hotel discounts. For instance, a golfer planning to play today could have checked golfrockford.org on Sunday or Monday and booked a $16 tee time — the fee is normally $21 weekday for residents — at Elliot, Ingersoll or Sandy Hollow between 10 a.m. and noon, or a round at Sandy Hollow for as low as $12 between 2 and 4 p.m.
A few other local courses, such as PrairieView in Byron and Glen Erin in Janesville, Wis., also offer the service.
"With off-peak times, it's bargain shopping, just like with the airlines," Geddes said.

Veteran Hidden Gems members know what we love to find in a small company. Honest, competent management. Solid financials. High levels of insider ownership. Strong returns on equity and assets. Little or no Wall Street coverage. And a price that's right for long-term buyers.
What we don't often talk about, though, are the things that can go bump in the night. The traits of bad small businesses that make us fear and loathe them.
There are more than 7,000 public companies capitalized under $500 million. And sure, there are loads of great winners in that bunch, poised to rise many times in value. Look back and you'll find small companies such as clothing retailer Chico's
That's a classic Peter Lynch investment.
But let's not kid ourselves. Out of those 7,000 companies, there are tons of mediocre firms, and worse. Like Tolkien's terrible dragon, Smaug, they can incinerate your savings in no time. (Hey, we said this was scary stuff!) Quite seriously, if you're not doing business research and you don't know what to avoid out there, you could lose your fortune.
Let's start with an example of what to avoid.
Case study: Charter Communications
In our active online university community, more than a year ago we were asked by a Hidden Gems member what we thought of Charter Communications
Charter stock had fallen from $25 to $4.50, and our member wanted to know whether now was a good time to invest for a turnaround.
We'll start by saying that in Hidden Gems, we absolutely love the broken small cap that's poised for a turnaround. Show us a company whose stock has fallen 90% from its highs, whose chairman is a billionaire, and whose largest institutional owner is a close friend of Warren Buffett, and we'll sign up to do very careful research. That's exactly what we did with Charter Communications at $4.50.
But we did not like what we found. Here's why we warned against investing in this business:
- Massive debt. Net debt (debt minus cash) is more than $18 billion.
- Net debt is 28 times the company's market cap of $640 million.
- Charter was GAAP unprofitable, with $1.5 billion in yearly interest costs.
- Debt covenants posed a serious threat to the company's survival.
- The SEC had launched an investigation into Charter's accounting practices.
- Heavy spending for a cable infrastructure hadn't yielded high enough returns.
Near the end of June 2003, I (Tom) wrote negatively about this stock when it was trading above $4. It's tough to go contrary to Paul Allen and Wally Weitz. But there was no turnaround in sight, and the company's balance sheet was cratering. Today, Charter trades at $1.40 per share, marking a more than 65% decline during a period in which the S&P 500 has risen more than 20%.
What we do and don't fear
Oddly enough, our Hidden Gems team does not fear -- in and of itself -- high debt. Our recommendation Middleby,
Nor do we fear companies that have fallen 90% from their all-time highs. Audible, which Rex found and wrote about, had fallen nearly to zero before turning around and drowning its owners in newfound wealth.
Heck, even hints of SEC investigations can create attractive bargains on occasion. One of our favorite present recommendations is a company that just settled with regulators for mistakenly billing Medicare. We believe it could be a multibagger in the years to come. Companies as varied as American Express
Each of these factors individually could make for a compelling investment as the stock price drops into the real value range.
So what was the problem with Charter Communications? The answer is the scale of its debt, running north of $18 billion, alongside harsh payment terms and emerging accounting problems. The numbers just didn't add up, and we're still wary about the stock.
To find out which stocks we do love, simply take a free trial to Hidden Gems. Read about all the many small companies that have thus far produced outsized returns. If you don't like it, you can cancel within 30 days without paying a dime.

As lawmakers in Washington, D.C., consider President Obama's proposal to institute a new assault weapons ban, we thought it would be helpful to take a look at the last one.
What was the 1994 assault weapons ban?
The law banned the manufacture, transfer, and possession of certain semiautomatic assault weapons (otherwise known as simply "assault weapons" or "AWs"). The law applied to several named weapons, as well as any semiautomatic pistol or weapon that has "an ability to accept a detachable magazine" and at least two of five specific features listed in the law.
It also banned the transfer or possession of "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" (otherwise known as "large-capacity magazines" or "LCMs"). These were defined as "a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar Device"…"that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition; but does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.''
Officially known as Title XI of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, the ban went into effect on Sept. 13, 1994. It was repealed 10 years later.
Did the ban have any major limitations?
According to the 2004 National Institute of Justice Assessment of the ban, it had one big one: Assault weapons and large-capacity magazines manufactured before the effective date of the ban were "grandfathered" and thus legal to possess and transfer. That's a whole lot of firepower:
- In 1990, there were an estimated 1 million privately owned assault weapons in the U.S. that would have been grandfathered.
- Americans possessed an estimated 25 million guns equipped with large-capacity magazines in 1994, and gun industry sources estimated that -- including aftermarket items for repairing and extending magazines -- there were at least 25 million LCMs available in the U.S. as of 1995, with at least 4.7 million pre-ban LCMs imported into the U.S. during the ban.
Has anyone measured the ban's effectiveness?
The Law Enforcement Act of 1994 required a study by the U.S. attorney general to determine the effects of the ban, to be conducted within 30 months after it was enacted. The National Institute of Justice awarded a grant to The Urban Institute for an evaluation, which was titled "Impact Evaluation of the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act of 1994." That evaluation was updated in 2004 by one of the original authors (findings below). Since the ban was allowed to lapse in 2004, there hasn't been another comprehensive national study.
What was the criminal use of assault weapons before the ban?
According to the 2004 assessment mentioned above:
- By most estimates, assault weapons were used in less than 6 percent of gun crimes before the ban (about 2 percent in most studies and up to 8 percent in others). The relatively small number can be attributed to the higher cost of AWs and the fact that longer AW's are difficult to conceal. Most of the AWs used in crime were assault pistols rather than assault rifles.
- Guns equipped with LCMs — of which AWs are a subset — were used in roughly 14 percent to 26 percent of most gun crimes. Although this range was based on a small number of studies, it is generally consistent with national survey estimates stating that approximately 18 percent of all civilian-owned guns and 21 percent of civilian-owned handguns were equipped with LCMs as of 1994.
What were the effects of the ban?
According to the official NIJ assessment:
- The share of gun crimes involving AWs declined by 17 percent to 72 percent for the locations observed in this study (Baltimore, Miami, Milwaukee, Boston, St. Louis, and Anchorage) during all or some of the 1995-2003 post-ban period. This is consistent with patterns found in national data on guns recovered by police and reported to ATF.
- However, in the jurisdictions studied, the decline in AW use was offset throughout at least the late 1990s by steady or rising use of other guns equipped with LCMs. The failure to reduce LCM use has likely been due to the immense stock that was in place prior to the ban as well as imports, the report found.
- The few available studies do, however, suggest that attacks with AWs and other semiautomatics equipped with LCMs result in more shots fired, more people hit, and more wounds per victim than do attacks with other firearms.
What is the trend in crimes involving assault weapons since the ban's expiration?
As explained above, there has been no comprehensive nationwide study done since 2004. However, the Police Executive Research Forum reported several findings in "Guns and Crime: Breaking New Ground by Focusing on the Local Impact" in 2010. Since the ban's expiration in 2004:
- 37 percent of police agencies who responded to this survey reported that they've seen noticeable increases in the use of assault weapons by criminals.
- 53 percent reported seeing increases in large-caliber handguns, such as .40 caliber weapons.
- 38 percent reported noticeable increases in criminals' use of semiautomatic weapons with high-capacity magazines (holding 10 or more rounds).

Every time I roll the dosha, the flow get colder
And that's when the hoes come over, freak 'em like Nola
Bend 'em backwards and choke her, then I get an encore like Hova
Yeah, they can't stand me, family, but they in Miami
And a rapper ain't taking me out, duck like Manny
Fuck hurricane Sandy, I blow shit up
Even the bathroom on Friday like Stanley
Doc's da name, so what's happening?
The hurricane may a short for the gasoline
But no thing, I boomerang hoes

Nat King Cole, unforgettable
Even my mama don't call me Reginald

Hillers will be simultaneously disappointed and elated at the recent restaurant news on the Avenue. After more than two years, Miguel Castaneda is closing Cuba. But the restaurant will be replaced by a new venture from celebrated local chef/owner Chip Roman.
Best known for his highly praised BYOB Black Fish in Conshohocken, Roman and chef Jason Cichonski (best known as the former chef at Lacroix at the Rittenhouse Hotel) are opening a new restaurant on the Hill, the pair's second bistro.
Retail recruiter Eileen Reilly has been working with Roman for the past eight months to find the right location on the Hill.
"I have to say that Chip found it (the location) on his own as well," said Reilly. "It shows that we are a really good commercial district and that people want to be here."
Roman's Black Fish, which Philadelphia magazine named as the number one best place to eat in its annual 50 Best Places to Eat issue (just out this month), has garnered praise since it opened in 2007.
Roman, 31, who lives in Montgomery County adjacent to Chestnut Hill, honed his craft under the impressive oversight of well-known chefs, Marc Vetri and Georges Perrier.
According to Tina Breslow, spokesperson for Roman's Black Fish restaurant group, said the Chestnut Hill location is one of several new restaurants the team will open in the near future.
Cichonski will be the opening chef before he moves on to the next venture, although there is no word on where that will be just yet.
The as-yet-unnamed Hill eatery is slated to open in March. Unfortunately that means Castaneda's Cuba will leave sometime in mid-February although it will be closed within days.
In announcing his decision to close the restaurant, Castaneda thanked his patrons and asked them to keep coming in until the doors close at the end of this week.
"It is with mixed emotions that ¡Cuba! will close on Monday, Jan 10," he said. "I say mixed emotions because of the sadness of closing a family dream but also for the happiness and gratitude of having the opportunity to meet you. All of us here at ¡Cuba! are better off because we have known you."

At a time when the nation's cow numbers are still falling, increasing the productive life of a cow is worth more than ever. A decrease in calf numbers has raised calf prices, which will continue. Drought has crippled major cow–calf areas, and even those cows may not be there much longer. Now is the time to make sure cows are earning their place in the herd.
The cost to replace a cow in the herd today is substantial. If you keep replacement heifers, two years of feed costs along with their worth as calves mean those heifers are worth $1,400 or more by the time they have their first calf. If you buy young bred cows, be prepared to spend more than ever. While these costs are high, the good news is that calves are selling higher too, so it is possible to recoup your investment within a reasonable amount of time.
How long does it really take to get that money back? If you look at more than just initial cost, the answer is: Longer than you think. The table below illustrates the flow of money from initial purchase of a female through several years of production, taking into account feed and interest costs.
In this example, a cow doesn't actually turn a profit until she is six years old (as shown with the negative number). If that cow was open as a four-year-old, she would be sold with her salvage value and three calves, netting you $248.59, or $82.86 per calf profit. However, if she doesn't come up open until after her seventh calf, her net calf profit is $228.52 per head. Keeping her bred every year is of the utmost importance!
A solid nutrition plan is the key to keeping cows in the herd longer. It is easy to look at high feed costs and be discouraged. But calf prices are extremely high too. The reward is still there.
Cutting back on nutrition will not make you more profitable in the long run. If some cows missed a breeding cycle from lack of nutrition, how much would that cost? If you had 100 cows and 50 of them didn't breed on the first cycle, that would be about 20 days of lost calf growth due to later calving times next spring. If those 50 all bred in the second cycle, you have 50 calves that lost 40 lb. each (2 lb. per day gain for 20 days). At today's calf prices, that would be at least $2,800 in lost revenue due to one missed pregnancy cycle. That could almost pay for a year's worth of mineral for the entire herd!
I could offer more examples, but the bottom line is: You can't starve a profit out of your cows.

SPECIAL REPORT: Has this accidental discovery become a breakthrough in anti-aging serums?
This exclusive report was created by Health Info MD to uncover the facts behind this revolutionary serum.
"What Are The Chances" – A new (and revolutionary) injection free age-defying serum has hit the market and sent the cosmetics community into a frenzy. Dermatologists and consumers alike are astounded by the waves of positive reviews coming in for this new product, and the craziest thing is, it should have never existed in the first place. It's called ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ and it's changing everything.
There are a handful of reasons for your skins declining health which makes it hard to pinpoint the exact cause. One of the major reasons is a loss of collagen production that every person will face sooner or later. This will cause your skin to sag and stretch leading to unwanted facial features such as wrinkles and fine lines.
ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ works quickly to restore your skins lost collagen production. This will help smooth and tighten your skin so you can look younger in just minutes. Attacking the cause of things such at wrinkles at source allows this product to prolong your skins health and beauty for years to come!
Safe and Effective – The ingredients in ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ have been proven to be 100% safe and as effective as some of the top anti-aging cosmetic serums. The difference? ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ has no harmful side effects and causes no adverse reactions when used. While injections such as botox or laser surgeries have become insanely popular they realistically could damage your skin even further!
How Does It Work?
ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM Face Serum provides superior anti-aging force by combining Palmitoyl Tripeptide-28 with Hyaluronic Acid and supporting botanical extracts. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-28 is an amazing breakthrough in skin tightening technology that helps immediately to begin to firm and tighten your skin for a more youthful complexion in both the short and long term. It helps build skin elasticity and hydration for a smoother, younger looking appearence.
ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM was clinically proven to naturally reverse the aging process that your skins cells go through. This eliminates unhealthy skin cells and leaves your skin looking almost flawless with little effort. Using powerful anti-aging ingredients allows this advanced skin care formula to help shave years off your appearance quicker than any other product!
Your skin will get damaged as its protective barrier it has when you're younger begins to diminish. This layer eventually fades as your skins cells begins to breakdown leaving your skin more readily damaged. ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM will prevent this damage from happening any further and ensure your skin stays beautiful and vibrant for many years to come!
Unless you have the ability to spend insane amounts of money on injections such as botox or get laser surgeries, looking younger can almost seem impossible. ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM will help you accomplish this long term goal by offering you an inexpensive option to these potentially risky procedures. Targeting your skins deeper layers allows ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM to repair your skins cell on an internal level allowing you to have better looking skin for years to come. Most products you find similar to this act as makeup and just cover up the problem without fixing it. Stop wasting your time and money and see how much this wrinkle-reducer can change your life within days!
Skin care products make a lot of promises they most of the time they will not keep. When you order your trial of ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM you will be guaranteed to get the results you have been looking for once it comes to your skin care products. If you click on the offer below you can snag a trial of this fountain of youth while supplies are still available!

- Promote Collagen Biosynthesis Up To 250%
- Counter the Aging Effect Of Stress On Your Skin
- Prevent Further Damage Happening To Your Skin
- Trap Moisture To Hydrate Your Skin
The Best Decision You Can Make
Since the day it was released to the general public, ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ has seen its demand and publicity skyrocket through the roof. Many knock-offs and imitators came and went while trying to ride ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM's™ newfound success. The problem was that these "competitors" couldn't match the quality of ingredients that ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ has in their formula. They were often loaded with fillers, binders, and artificial ingredients that made their products ineffective and hazardous. Anyone who is serious about eliminating their wrinkles and preventing further skin damage would be foolish not to choose ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™.

This trial is offered because this product is so confident you will be satisfied with the results it will bring you. See the deal found below to find out more information and claim your trial bottle while supplies are available.
1. Apply ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ twice per day
2. Monitor results each week
I would like to start off by saying that I have no affiliation or relationship with ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ in any way, shape, or form. My research was done for my personal curiosity on the cosmetic serum. I also felt it was my duty as a cosmetic chemist to review a product that has such extraordinary claims, especially after seeing hundreds of products hit the market over the years. But the results don't lie, no matter how spectacular they are.
In my first week testing with ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™, the first thing that I noticed immediately was the immediate reduction of wrinkles and dryness in my patients. I'm sure you're familiar with waking up and noticing pronounced wrinkle lines due to stress and fatigue. This was almost non-existent after the first few days of treatment.
As a cosmetic chemist over the last 30 odd years, I've seen a lot of skincare products come and go in this industry. I understand that, in the extensive variety of accessible age defying skincare cream, it is hard to choose one useful and reasonably priced face serum. I can comprehend that you may even be having a little fear about symptoms of face serums. That is why it is rare to find such an a age-defying face serum that both works as well as it says and has so few side effects.
Within the third week of the trials, the difference from three weeks prior was night and day. I saw an up to 45% reduction in wrinkles in my patients, increased collagen levels, increased moisturization levels, and a reduction of harmful UV and DNA damage. I soon began to realize, when comparing the results to the control group, that this couldn't have just been a placebo effect and that ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM™ was improving skin quality immensely.
Therefore, I can conclude that the clinical studies show that when applied twice or thrice daily for just 15 days, ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM will fill and smooth out wrinkles that have taken years to form. After as little as one month of regular usage, deep wrinkles, sun spots and other hard signs of ageing can be dramatically reduced.

I was worried this product might have been a scam, or some kind of useless vitamin. Now, at age 33, I've noticed some wrinkles have started to creep in around my eyes and eyebrows. I really wanted to reduce these so I ordered ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM. I noticed an immediate change after 2 weeks. I need this in my life!
For the last 5 years I tried lots of different creams and serums to reduce my wrinkles. ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM is the only product that helped so far and provided noticeable results. Actually you don't realize how good this product is until you stop taking it. Then you really start to feel the difference because the wrinkles gradually come back. I'm so glad I found it.
I bought ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM based on the good reviews online, and the results of using the product have exceeded my expectations, with results that accomplished more than what I was expecting. I am a semi retired Architect, working part time in the produce department of a grocery store. I will be 73 years old in May. I had been working 4 hour days, and I think I got a lot more wrinkles from stress. My daughter bought me ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM as a Birthday present and I couldn't be happier. It really works like you see in the pictures. Immediately after a few days I noticed the lines around my forehead started to diminish.
So, I will continue the use of ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM due to the great results.
I am also semi retired and spent much of my life as a accountant. I've experienced pretty intense wrinkles around my face for the past 2 decades and tried a lot of different products. I'm glad ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM is working for you as well Charlene. These are modern day
miracles for us old timers.
I have been applying two creams and serums every night for the past four years to help reduce my wrinkles and stay beautiful without much success. It's been hard to get out of bed and start the day not feeling confident in my looks. On the second day of taking ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM I felt much better with the results I got. Thank you ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM!
The wrinkles and dryness in my skin has been a problem for the longest time and I never figured out a good solution. After taking this product for about 2 weeks, the wrinkles and dryness started receding and went away... This product does what it says!
I used to live off over the counter cosmetic serums and creams. They worked with varying effect, but nothing really stood out. They all had pros and cons that pretty much balanced out.
After just a few weeks of using ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM I KNEW that I had found something different. Now five months later, I've never looked back, this serum has put me back 10 years into my youth, it truly is a wonder serum. I don't know what's in it, but as long as it keeps working, I'll keep buying it every month.
Thank you very much!!
Being a fairly skeptical person, I tried this with some reservations. However, having been on this for many months, I'm very happy to report that this product works - and works as promised. It only took a couple of days for the product to start working and I'm amazed at the results. You'll be happy you did.
The ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM arrived within 2-days of my order. And I've been taking it for a week now and I'm already feeling a difference. My skins feels supple and moist and I see a noticeable change in my complextion. I'm surprised that it started working so quickly -- my guess is the collagen is being replinished quickly in my skin. Wish I explored this months ago.
Posted by Vanessa M Wednesday, October 01, 2014
This is a great product. I use it reduce my wrinkles and moisture my skin. I had a rapid increase in wrinkles and dryness about nine months ago and this is the only product that will give me both moisture and wrinkle reduction.

"After hearing so many positive things about ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM for weeks, I decided to give a shot with no real expectations. Within a week and a half, its almost like I went back in a time machine, my skin felt as soft and smooth as it has in years. I honestly couldn't believe it! ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM has drastically improved my day-to-day life and I couldn't be more grateful to have found it!"
"I have been working outdoors for the better of the last 30 years. Needless to say, working out in the elements has definitely damaged and accelerated the ageing process of my skin. I tried numerous creams, prescription serums, and different derma therapies to no avail. A friend recommended I try ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM, saying that she had great results. I hesitantly said ok, thinking that it would be the same song and dance as all the other face creams. I couldn't have been more wrong! ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM has helped with my skin so much that I have tossed out all the other "remedies" I used to use. I would suggest ANTI AGE WRINKLE CREAM to everyone!

May 2004 - Newsletter 76
Bob Barratt
This name may not be familiar to you but Bob owned and ran Grasmere Music, the company for which we recorded seven of our CDs. Jim Lloyd, our manager from many years ago, put us in touch with Bob back in 1992. We kicked off with the 'Barn Dance' recording and things developed from there. Bob passed away back in February and he will be greatly missed on the music scene. When we were recording for Argo/Decca back in the 70s he was working for EMI and on his books he had groups such as The Wurzels so his connections with the West Country go back many years. He was an expert on such diverse subjects as publishing copyright and bus routes. When we had finished a recording session he would quite often hop on a local bus and have a wander through the countryside, the longer and windier the route the better. He also had a great love of The Scilly Isles and spent some holidays watching the whales off Alaska. In short, he was a very diverse and extremely intelligent character. His daughter, Jo, is running the company at the moment. Best of luck me dear, you've got a hard act to follow.
Pre-Yetminster Fair Evening, Friday 9th of July
We will be around this year so if you wish for a little light music and song and some complimentary nosebag come down to The Weavers Club, Westbury, Sherborne and join us. We don't know what's going to happen so it will be as much of a surprise to us as it will be to you. That's the way life should be sometimes. Pete has already started cooking the sausage rolls, Mac is growing the radishes and I'm in charge of the curry.
Yetminster Fair, Saturday 10th of July
Yes, we will be there again in the sunshine on Yetminster's day of days. For information on camping facilities etc. or tickets for our 8p.m. concert in the marquee contact Derek Mott, Stonechat, High Street, Yetminster, Sherborne, Dorset, DT9 6LF. Tel. 01935 872123. If you wish to book accommodation in the area then Sherborne Tourist Information can help. Tel. 01935 815341.
This really is a cracking day out with loads of bargains on the stalls through the day, crafts in the marquee, childrens entertainment and, of course, the atmosphere of one of Dorset's most stunning villages to soak up.
Old Yetties LPs
My stock of these turns over at a high rate of knots and Halsway Manor Library benefits from the cash raised. If you have any you wish to pass on to good homes or would like to purchase some please ring 01935 814611. At this moment in time I have copies of Keep A Runnin', In Concert, Up Market, Dorset is Beautiful, A Little Bit of Dorset, Let's Have A Party, The Yetties of Yetminster and The World of The Yetties.
Halsway Manor Weekend
We always stagger home absolutely knackered after these weekends in February. But, after a good nights rest it gradually seeps into the old brain box that what happens between Fridays dinner and Sundays cream tea is rather special. Everybody joins in with great enthusiasm. There are music workshops, talks on folk-related subjects, dances, songs, poems, a limerick competion, walks, an evening concert and late night singarounds in the bar. At our age we should know better. Funny thing though 95% of people re-book for the following year.
Memory Lane
Before we turned professional (it must have around 1965) the W.I. of Somerset decided to celebrate their 50th anniversary by singing folk songs on some the loveliest hills in the county such as Ham Hill. Bill Rutter, the local organiser for the English Folk Dance and Song Society, asked us if would help lead these sing songs and we duly obliged. What was needed though were some leaflets with the songs in them so that all could join in. Well, Mac, Bob (who left the band in 1979) and I all worked for the same printing company and we thought we would tackle this job as well. So when everyone else had cleared off home in the evening we set to work on this 'government' job. We worked on very late and then, when we'd had enough, we would unroll our sleeping bags in the boss's office (the only place in the works with a carpet on the floor) to get some kip. The trick was to wake up early enough to open the windows and let some fresh air into the office before the boss arrived next day. We produced 7,500 leaflets in this way. Naughty! Naughty!
Weymouth Summer Season
At the moment I just don't know what is happening. We have been told we will be there in The Ocean Room at the Pavilion Complex as usual on Tuesdays from the beginning of July until the end of September but maybe not on every Tuesday. This, to say the least, is a teensy weensy bit frustrating. I will update the web site as soon as I know more but if you don't have access to the web the only thing I can suggest is a phone call to the Pavilion box office on 01305 783225.

Asus founder Jonney Shih took to the stage this afternoon in New York City to unveil a slew of Windows 8 computers, including a dockable tablet (Asus Vivo Tab RT), a lightweight notebook (Asus VivoBook), and an all-in-one PC. But the star of the show was clear the Asus Taichi dualscreen convertible ultrabook/tablet that can display two screens simultaneously, making even the laptop a social gadget.
The 2.75-pound Asus Taichi features an 11.6-inch screen that's equipped with Intel Core i5, 128GB of solid state drive, Intel graphics, 10-finger touch capacitive display, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080. It's also got a 5-megapixel front-facing camera capable of capturing 1080p HD video while the inside cam records in 720p. Did we mention an integrated Bang & Olufsen ICEpower speaker? Battery life takes a backseat for powering two screens, however, coming in at just five hours per charge.
While most Windows 8 laptops have a button on the keyboard that takes you to the Windows Metro UI, once you close the laptop, the outer screen will automatically switch on to whatever you were working on from the inside screen. You have the option of turning this off, of course, as well as the ability to lock auto-screen rotation. At the top corner of the display, you can also jump into the Asus's own UI which will let you select screen sharing options. Here, you can choose Display Modes, such as turning on just the outer or inner screen, or a Mirror Mode that turns both screens on at the same time with the same content. The fourth option lets you display two different screens between the outer and inner screens, making it easy to share the laptop between two people or play games with one laptop.
It's unlike many laptops we've seen, and certainly have its unique perks. Those who are afraid of getting scratches on their laptop might want to think twice about being extra cautious around using the Asus Taichi. The hybrid laptop slash tablet ships in November, and starts at $1,300 while the maxed out version with Intel Core i7, a stylus, and 256GB of SSD bumps up to $1,600.

"Obama looking at cooling air to fight warming", says AP Science Writer Seth Borenstein. A climate adviser to the President is looking at a variety of schemes, including shooting sulfur into the atmosphere, to avoid Global Warming.
Tinkering with Earth's climate to chill runaway global warming — a radical idea once dismissed out of hand — is being discussed by the White House as a potential emergency option, the president's new science adviser said Wednesday.
That's because global warming is happening so rapidly, John Holdren told The Associated Press in his first interview since being confirmed last month.
The concept of using technology to purposely cool the climate is called geoengineering. One option raised by Holdren and proposed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist includes shooting pollution particles into the upper atmosphere to reflect the sun's rays.
"We're talking about all these issues in the White House," Holdren said. "There's a very vigorous process going on of discussing all the options for addressing the energy climate challenge." Holdren said discussions include Cabinet officials and heads of sub-Cabinet level agencies, such as NASA and the Environmental Protection Agency. ... The British Parliament has also discussed the idea. At an international meeting of climate scientists last month in Copenhagen, 15 talks dealt with different aspects of geoengineering. ...
Holdren, a 1981 winner of a MacArthur Foundation "genius" grant, outlined these possible geoengineering options:
• Shooting sulfur particles (like those produced by power plants and volcanoes, for example) into the upper atmosphere, an idea that gained steam when it was proposed by Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen in 2006. It would be "basically mimicking the effect of volcanoes in screening out the incoming sunlight," Holdren said.
• Creating artificial "trees" — giant towers that suck carbon dioxide out of the air and store it.
These guys are thinking of applying linear solutions to a complex problem they don't even understand, to a system they can't even model. Re-engineering the whole planet is the ultimate public works project; and is likely to cost untold sums. When the whole scheme comes a cropper, as it might, the unintended consequences may be incalculable. I happen think this is total madness, but that's no reason it won't happen. Maybe the crazier something is, the more likely it is to be embraced as conventional wisdom.
Back to the drawing board.

Ideally, I would like to be there on a work permit if I can make it happen, but most people are saying its virtually impossible. I am moving there in April and would like to be there for the full two years that my boyfriend will be stationed there with the Navy. Someone give me some hope! Thanks!

Unsupported Linux distributions (Shellshock)
There are some versions of Linux that no longer receive support or patches from their providers. This includes the ability to patch bash, and therefore protect your server against major vulnerabilities, such as Shellshock.
If your server uses one of the following versions of Linux, you need to immediately move your server to a supported operating system.
Find your version of Linux
- Connect to your server via SSH
- Run one of the following commands, based on its operating system:
lsb_release -a
Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat
cat /etc/redhat-release
lsb_release -a
|Fedora, CentOS, Red Hat
cat /etc/redhat-release
Your operating system's version displays.
I'm using an old Linux version. What now?
If you are using one of these unsupported versions of Linux, you can:
- Purchase a new VPS or dedicated server. This will put you on our newest server platform, provide a choice of supported operating systems, as well provide current server technology and hardware.
You will be responsible for migrating your content to a new server. You can either do this yourself or use our but we do offer content migration services.
- Rebuild your server with a new operating system. This will result in all data being removed from the server.

Aug. 11 (GIN) – Charles Onyango-Obbo of The East African, a Kenyan daily, joined a growing number of writers and scholars questioning the aims of the US-Africa Summit. Where, he asked, were the wives?
"Africa's Big Men but none of its Big Women made it to the meeting," he observed in a wrap up of the ballyhooed three day affair which brought over 40 African heads of state and staff to the U.S.
Uchenna Ekwo of the NY-based Center for Media and Peace Initiatives faulted the U.S. press. "Nothing exemplifies the ignominy of Africa in international policy agenda than for the President of the United States to hold a press conference to discuss the outcome of a three day summit that literally uprooted Africa to Washington DC only for reporters to divert the attention of the president to other issues."
"Only one question by Nairobi's Standard newspaper specifically referenced Africa and the Summit that necessitated the press conference in the first place," said a steamed-up Ekwo. "All other questions focused on Israel-Palestine, the Ukraine- Russia imbroglio, immigration reform, and other domestic policy issues."
Reporters who travelled from Africa filed out in disappointment and despair, he said, while two senior journalists – from Nigeria's Channels Television and Cameroon's Radio Television – shrugged it off saying the summit was for the benefit of America.
Among the topics to get short shrift were women's issues. One highly billed event featured presidential wives Michele Obama and Laura Bush on the stage at the Kennedy Center engaged in friendly banter. African first ladies were seated in the audience - they barely filled the first two rows - alongside a grinning ex-President George Bush posing for pictures with the women.
Jill Biden, wife of the Vice President, was the Summit pick for a keynote speech on women's empowerment and education. Several news articles focused on her African print dress.
Despite a letter signed by over 600 African and U.S. groups pleading for "official space during the Summit for participation by African civil society activists," there was no room at the inn except at a parallel summit held Monday. The letter signers had urged Pres. Obama "to send a strong and clear message that the U.S. considers these independent voices to be an equally vital part of the conversation."
Signers included centers of democratic studies in Uganda, Sierra Leone, Zambia, Mali, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, Guinea, Angola, Malawi and South Africa.
Among those officially wined and dined were President Yahya Jammeh of The Gambia whose toxic remarks on gays had been condemned in Washington; President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo, the head of oil-rich yet impoverished Equatorial Guinea, and Swaziland's King Mswati III, Africa's last monarch where political parties may not take part in elections. Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe and Sudan's leader Omar el-Bashir were banned.
"Beyond the investment deals and moneys," wrote Onyango-Obbo, "a new pragmatism is beginning to set in. If Africa is to continue on its growth path, it must be polygamous in the way it does business. It should trade with the East, West, North, and South — and with devils and angels, in appropriate measure.
"Secondly, it should look to Africa. The next China-Africa, EU-Africa, India-China, or US-Africa summit should take place, where else, in Africa." w/pix of Pres. Y. Jammeh of The Gambia

Christ. What another lazy goddamned Saturday.
It's probably just because I'm unemployed, but this whole Lazy Saturdays thing has become sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy. Ever since I started it as a feature, every Saturday has been a dull, droll, and mindless affair. Usually involving me sitting at my apartment. By myself. Such is life, though; or, at least, such is the life of Oliver "Riddles" Motok.
I saw Iron Man 2 a few days ago. I don't actually, uh… remember much about it, but I seem to remember liking it. Not as much as the original, perhaps, but it was an enjoyable experience. Definitely check it out if you're an Iron Man fan.
Oh yeah, and I watched Aladdin yesterday! In HD! For the first time in years! God, that movie is timeless. It's also one of the few good things Robin Williams has ever done with his life.
Ubisoft Bitches About an 81% Metacritic Ranking for Red Steel 2 – Sometimes, I really hate numerical review scores, and this is one of the reasons why. Gamers, media outlets, and publishers alike have all gotten spoiled. Really fucking spoiled, in fact, as evidenced by this statement from Ubisoft's Jason Vandenberghe:
Let's start here: if you clicked that Metacritic link back there, you know that (as of this writing) our average rating is hanging out at a solid 81%. Anyone in the industry will tell you: that doesn't suck, but it ain't the bestest ever. It's the kind of number you need to be in the running for serious sales, and given the nature of the market we are releasing into, etc, blah blah blah, it's pretty darn acceptable, but of course you always hope for more. It's what Metacritic calls "generally favorable reviews", but it's closer to "mixed" than we'd prefer.
Ingrates. They're all ingrates. Why is it that these days, a game has to score a 90% percent or higher to be considered worthy of a shit? I feel like it's a trend that's come along with the current console generation. 81%, for all intents and purposes, is an excellent aggregate ranking, especially when you consider the fact that the original Red Steel was flat-out panned by the gaming press. Grow the fuck up, Ubisoft. And everyone else.
Are You an Apple Fanboy? Well, You Can At Last Have True Love - I'm gonna go ahead and chalk this up as a solid 8.1 on my weird-shit-o-meter. (Cookies for whoever catches the reference.) This summer will see the launch of a dating site called Cupidtino. What's the first thing you think of when you hear "Cupidtino?" Latina women, of course. Or men, I suppose. But no. Cupidtino is a dating site designed for Apple fanatics. Here's the site in a nutshell, according to "Mel," one of its co-founders:
Essentially we're hoping to do to dating sites what the iPhone did for smartphones. We want to create a simple, clean, uncluttered and Apple-esque experience. The profile page will not only show your typical "dating" features, but also highlight your Apple-ness – things like "when did you become a Mac?" and icons for the Apple products you own. We're also thinking about an AppStore like "approval process" for profiles, which will require that your main photo must be posed with an Apple product or in an Apple retail store.
Sound… creepy to you? Yeah, me too.
Check Out this Trailer for Enslaved: Odyssey to the West – It's no secret that I've been intrigued by this game. And I gotta say, this first trailer doesn't disappoint. Lots of gameplay, showing off combat, platforming, and Ico-esque partner mechanics. Really neat stuff.
Wow, sorry, this is much later than I anticipated. I got, uh, distracted for a while. My lazy Saturday is suddenly not so lazy. Unfortunately, though, I'm exhausted. Because… in the last 60 hours or so, I've slept for 8.
Signing off,

[Intro: Distorted Crooked I speaking]
This is my life, man. Somebody call Oliver Stone up, tell him I got a story for sale loosely based on my life. Don't call Spike Lee though. He don't understand niggas like me. I hear him talking down on gangstas. I didn't choose this life...this life chose me
[Intro continued: Normal Crooked I speaking]
St. Valentine's Day Bossacre! Motherfucker! This is my life man. If I could change it...I wouldn't! Cause it made me who I am. Listen...
[Verse 1]
1970-something and mama's in the studio
Pregnant with Dominick while she was doing a song
Until her water broke in the booth
It's not a joke it's the truth
From that point let's move it along
To the fact that my father was a rolling stone
Before we knew it dude was gone
Mama gotta do it alone
Who would've known
At the same time that she gave me life she might've ruined her own?
Cause she already had a son before me
Living in the big city, she young and lonely
Put her faith in a nigga but his love was phoney
Said he would hold her down while she sung her songs, G
Then he bounced. put the pedal to the metal
No more record deals, we living in the ghetto
Gangbang, drive-by, homicide, place full of puppets killing each other
Uncle Sam is Geppetto
Five years-old when I seen my first murder
Playing outside, I heard shots from the Ruger
Four or five bullets put the victim in the bushes
Then I made eye contact with the shooter
Ran in the house, told my mama somebody died, I'll never forget...
It was a white boy from Hoova
All she could say was "Hallelujah!"
"You're safe!" Then she asked God to protect our future
Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough
Got my hat low, white tee on, gun in my waist, I'm a gangsta man
Flat broke, living in the hood, gotta get money so I jumped in the game
So many people I know...get killed like it ain't no thang
To you it's crazy, I know! Real niggas gonna feel my pain
[Repeat hook]
[Verse 2]
1990-something and mama's little boy's growing up
All the thug niggas calling him Crooked
It was a name that she never understood
But in the hood
Negative is positive so Dominick took it
Look at the way that he hang with the older niggas
Man them OG's gave him a gangster style
A gun in the waist, a knife in the pocket, a pair of brass knuckles
Some mace and even straight razors now
Those...are the tools you use
To survive in the most dangerous place you could raise a child
Mama can't afford nothing other than Section 8
We'll escape
One day I'mma make her proud
But now I dropped out of school, sitting in a drug spot
Bagging up weed while my older brother slung rocks
Trying to get paid, watching for the punk cops
If they run a raid, they gon' be up in these gunshots
Take over the world shit, do it like Scarface
Banging on the news, helicopter and a car chase
This is the point where adrenaline make your heart race
Fuck sleeping under the jail cause of a narc case
Wasn't the life that I aimed to choose
A nigga could've been the next Langston Hughes
But I landed in a place
Where you can get shot in the face
By a young banger trying to pay gangster dues
How in the fuck can I change my views
When I have to stab a nigga for trying to take my shoes?
Never won much, but I hate to lose
Only way that you could relate is if you played the blues
That was back when
But even back then
Mama made men out of the boys in the house
And I remember coming home fresh from a shootout
This is what she said with a joint in her mouth
She told me "Life as a shorty shouldn't be so rough"
[Hook x2]
[Outro: Crooked I speaking]
This is my life, man. This is my life. I was manufactured in the hood, man. Read the label. Read the label they got stitched on the back of my neck. It says "Made in America." Ghetto America, ya heard?
