While we're on the subject of Youtube ads which are the fastest or longest, it seems AlmapBBDO got a little excited and created two. One that automatically skips the ad (for the new Beetle's automatics transmission) and one that gives you a prediction (for VW's Side assist?)
They also produced this one earlier in the year for
VW's original parts.
Way to use every part of the Buffalo guys ;)

Since its launch in 2011, the Retrofitting series has continued to grow and provide up-to-date information on retrofitting trends to the Australian industry. Your feedback has been an integral part of the event's growth and, based on this, we are now evolving the event into a bigger and better Retrofitting & Refurb Conference & Expo.
Uniting property owners, property developers, facility managers, architects, contractors and engineers from across all Australian states, the event will focus on the projects that are grabbing attention right now.
Building performance is critical in terms achieving efficient energy usage, but the reality is that the requirements of the tenants who occupy the buildings go much deeper. On top of sustainable technology, workspace design, layout and aesthetics are also contributing to the productivity of a workforce, which is in turn driving tenants to make tougher demands on building requirements.
This year's Retrofit & Refurb Conference will discuss how to manage your project from conceptualisation, tenant engagement strategies through to post occupancy feedback. Covering all aspects of ensuring your project is delivered on time and within budget – as well as minimising disruption to tenants – this event will arm you with the necessary tools to initiate the project and achieve all sustainability, regulatory and tenant desired outcomes.
For more information about the conference please see the conference page.
Selecting the right technology and vendor for retrofitting project is critical. New for this year's event, the Expo will provide an expanded exhibition area to offer a greater choice of products and services available for your project, as well as more providers to ensure you can choose the vendor that best suits your needs.

Q: What are the best exercises for improving my time in the 40-yard dash?
A: Remember when you ran to catch the school bus as a kid? The chase only lasted a few seconds, but you were still winded. That's the type of exercise almost nobody does as an adult, but if you want to improve your sprint time, you need to work on short bursts of explosive exercise.
You can develop your body's energy system responsible for this sort of explosiveness with 4- to 6-second drills, and it's not necessary to perform sprints at first. Instead, kick it into high gear for 5 seconds on a bike or move your feet back and forth over a line as quickly as you can for 5 seconds will work. Here's an example:
These drills don't require you to decelerate your body like sprinting does so you're less likely to blow a hammy, but you'll still condition your mind and body for speed.
Work on mobility, stability and strength, which all contribute to speed as well, and then try progressing to short sprints and work on your running technique to shave seconds off your time.

Red carpet now on E!
Padma Lahski looking amazing in orange so far.
Red carpet now on E!
Padma Lahski looking amazing in orange so far.
My Life Would Suck Without FS-You
I tried to watch but all of the insane babble from rancic and seacrest was too painful to endure. I'll just have to flip thru Tom and Lorenzo tomorrow over coffee.
I think it's rainbow sherbert night for reality stars at the Emmys. Heidi Klum in a gorgeous seafoam, Padma Lakshi in orange. Just about everyone else in grey or black.
Not sure who that woman on ABC is, but she's nasal, annoying, and very me me me.
I agree the blather is terrible, but it's the best opportunity to see some the gowns.
Love Heidi Klum's robin-egg blue gown.
My Life Would Suck Without FS-You
Except she's doing the "J-Lo stick my leg out while standing still" and looking silly in it.
"You emerge victorious from the maze you've been travelling in." Oct 21,2012- Best Fortune Cookie Ever!
If I had Heidi's leg, I'd stick them out too.
When hugging a grammar nazi, I always say "there, their, they're."
Christina Hendricks... I knew she had a very full chest... but uh... those look like they need their own congressional district!
Sophia Vegara is on ABC and she looks gorgeous as usual. Julianne Moore's dress is boring and hideous.
When hugging a grammar nazi, I always say "there, their, they're."
A reminder of the nominations:
There are a lot of shows I haven't seen.
I didn't think that Julianne's dress was boring. A dress that color can't be boring. Wouldn't have been my choice though.
Sofia's dress looked like it needed one more fitting.
Boardwalk Empire is about the only show I've seen that's nominated, and I'm furious at them for killing off the best character on the show. Now there's no one with any redeeming human value.....So I don't really give a damn about any of it.
Michael J. Fox He actually looks improved over what I've seen in the past. Really hoping his treatments are working for him.
I don't think that color is flattering on Julianne.
I love Stephen Colbert. It would be fun to hear an acceptance speech from him. But it's also fun to hear what he says when he loses.
Not sure I like Snow White's dress, though it's not boring.
how did anyone notice julianne's dress, i was so fixated on the hair should could have been naked
i guess they were going for retro glamour but i thought it looked like an apple fritter on her ear
I feel like I'm in a dream. But it can't be a dream because there are no boy dancers!
Is Revenge going to be on at the same time as The Good Wife this season?
that's so much boob.
I could not talk to Christina and keep my eyes on her face. Most women built like her have reduction surgeries these days.

Andrew Norelli headlines tonight's Comedy at the Ave
January 18, 2013 · Updated 4:52 PM
Andrew Norelli, a sketch and stand-up comedian since 1998 with a long list of credits, headlines Friday's Comedy at the Ave.
Show time is 7:30 p.m. at the historic theater, 10 Auburn Ave.
Norelli uses comedy to navigate his way through confusion and dismay. Whatever happens to him in life, he brings to the stage, and lets the crowd in on his frustration and psychology.
His credits include "The Late, Late Show with David Letterman", "Jimmy Kimmel Live", "The Byron Allen Show", "Live at Gotham" on Comedy Central, "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson", "Comedy.TV" and the nationally syndicated show, "Comics Unleashed", where he also worked as a monologue joke writer.
After appearing at the Montreal Comedy Festival, Norelli's performance was praised in the publication Time Out New York. At the Boston Comedy Festival, he was awarded the second-place prize, and was the winner of the inaugural Las Vegas World Series of Comedy. He has even performed down under at Sydney, Australia's Comedy Store.
A review by The Daily Telegraph read, "His show features hair trigger laughs with a deadly aim, all the more so because while some comedians overestimate their own intelligence, Norelli never underestimates ours."
The show at the Ave is recommended for ages 18 and above.
Tickets are $17 and $15. Call Auburn Parks, Arts & Recreation at 253-931-3043, Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.; Friday, 8 a.m.-noon, or online at Brown Paper Tickets.

People responding to the ad for a personal assistant think they're being hired to run errands and do banking and shopping for the employer.
Gerace says they're sent a package from the supposed employer containing U.S. postal money orders for an amount more what they're told they'll be paid. Victims are told to deposit the money orders and send the balance via Western Union to a specified address.
Gerace says the money orders are counterfeit and that the money the victim then wires to the scam artist is untraceable.
He said the scam was recently reported to his office.

Same song, different verse: Boyd once again sweeps Skyline in playoff opener
By Richard C. White, email@example.com
RICHARDSON -- The McKinney Boyd volleyball team has been stuck in a first-round playoff pattern for the last three years, but it's a successful one they don't mind in the least.
For the third straight year, the Lady Broncos began the postseason with a sweep of Dallas Skyline, with this latest iteration (25-10, 25-8, 25-13) occurring Tuesday night at Richardson Berkner.
"We played very well tonight, we started out sharp," said Kelly Quinn, Boyd head coach. "We've faced each other three years in a row now. Their kids fought, but we played well."
Boyd (33-7) leapt out to a commanding 11-1 lead over Skyline (13-14) in the first set, setting the tone for the sweep. The Lady Broncos were just as strong to the jump in the second set, leading 13-2 to start.
Skyline never led once in any of the three sets and was only tied three times the entire night, first at 2-2, then at 4-4 and 6-6 -- all occurring at the start of the third set.
"We played well, especially the first two sets, we were very crisp," Quinn said. "The third set we got a few more hitting and service errors, but we'll improve."
Skyline would show more fight in the final set, trailing by only four halfway through at 15-11. The Lady Broncos, though, would regroup and take control the rest of the way, coasting to the three-set victory.
In addition to Mollett, Bukovec, Seaber and Dickschat, Quinn was also pleased with the contributions of Bayle Bingaman, Emma Meyer, Kelly Koop, Tori Turck, and Parker Shepherd.
"Bailey played great tonight," she said. "Emma was on fire in the middle and so was Krista and Kelly and Megan are always standouts on the outside. Our setters did a good job, too, getting in there and mixing up the offense, so Tori and Parker did great. I'm very pleased with our win tonight."
Quinn is also encouraged for what she sees in the program's future.
"Ashleigh Martin and Meagan Elkins, my two sophomores, they played great tonight," she said. "They came in the third game and played great. Our program has got a bright future."
Quinn knows that it's crucial for this to be the template if the team hopes to return to the state finals.
"We were able to see a lot of playing time for all of the girls. It was good to get everyone in. That's the best win, as far as I'm concerned," she said. "When we can look at our stats and have nearly every kid have five or more kills, you know that that's a team effort and it really was tonight. Everyone stepped up tonight."
While her team was strong for much of the night, Quinn admits there's always room for improvement.
"We need to improve on our balls in the net," she said. "Anything that's tight on the net, we're kind of backing off on it. We've been working on it recently, but that's something we have to continue to work on."
The Lady Broncos move on to play Naaman Forest in Friday's area final from Plano East at 6 p.m., getting them one step closer to their ultimate goal.
"This is a seasoned team as far as playoffs are concerned," Quinn said. "We know what the road ahead of us is; it's long. We've got six more games left if we want to be state champions."

Cushman & Wakefield completes merger with leading Indonesian firm27 Nov, 2008, IndonesiaPremier Indonesian firm to join global platform of the world's largest private real estate company Cushman & Wakefield, the world's largest privately held real estate services firm, announced today that it has merged with its Indonesian affiliate, PT Property Advisory Indonesia (PROVIS), a leading Jakarta based real estate services group. With immediate effect the firm will begin operations as Cushman & Wakefield. Consistent with the growth strategy for the region, Cushman & Wakefield have seized another opportunity to expand the firm's platform in Asia Pacific. This follows the opening of the company's Vietnam operations in January this year, with offices in both Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, as well as the acquisition of its long time Australian associate, Laing+Simmons Commercial Inc., in Sydney. "Cushman & Wakefield is well positioned to weather the current economic maelstrom" said Michael Thompson, CEO of Cushman & Wakefield's Asia Pacific operations. "Whilst many companies in our industry are scaling back, we are doing the opposite. As a private company with limited debt, we are able to move forward with our aggressive growth plans. It is strategic acquisitions of firms like PROVIS that have helped us to expand our reputation for excellence both locally and globally." Michael Thompson continued: "We now have 33 offices in 15 countries across Asia Pacific and there will be more in the near future. We have the capability to expand into Taiwan, the Philippines and beyond - there are no limits in our capacity to serve our clients." "This represents a significant step for both firms and our clients," commented Arshpreet Chaudhry, Executive Managing Director of Cushman & Wakefield in South-East Asia. "Both Cushman & Wakefield and the PROVIS team have strong cultures, which will make the transition easier because we share the same traditions of integrity and excellence and a 'client-first' philosophy – all of which make a powerful combination." Arshpreet Chaudhry continued: "With a population of 220 million and a strong emerging economy supported by large natural gas and petroleum reserves, Indonesia is increasingly a key focus market for our clients who expect the best representation everywhere they conduct business." The PROVIS team has worked together for over 10 years and is the most respected real estate services group in Jakarta - each of the senior management team has at least 15 years experience in this market. The office of over 80professionals will be led by David Cheadle, who has been named Managing Director, Indonesia. "This exciting amalgamation provides PROVIS experts with a powerful global platform of tools and services to help meet the increasingly complex needs of clients," comments David Cheadle. "Our clients will continue to work with the familiar professionals they've come to know and trust, only now they will benefit from the added leverage offered by a world-leading firm. For our managers, professionals and employees, this move opens up tremendous career opportunities and direct access to a premier, full-service platform across 227 offices in 58 countries." As Cushman & Wakefield, the firm will offer its clients an enhanced services platform that will include Research & Advisory, Investment, Tenant Representation, Design & Project Management, Property & Facilities Management, and Marketing Consultancy in Offices, Residential, Retail, and Industrial. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed. For further information, please contact: The Press Office, Cushman & Wakefield Tel: + (852) 2956 7026 About Cushman & Wakefield

Despite appearances, Columbo is the shrewdest, most resourceful detective in the LAPD. In every episode, he slowly and methodically pieces together the most minute clues leading to the identity of the killer. Join him and investigate every thrilling episode in Columbo: The Complete Second Season - the most popular season of the series!
Rumpled, raincoat-wearing, cigar-chomping Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk) continues to play clever mind games with criminals who mistakenly believe they've committed the proverbial ''perfect murder'' as Columbo enters its second season.
This year the series, one of several rotating programs of the detective anthology NBC Mystery Movie, offers eight episodes of varying lengths (90 to 120 minutes) for the entertainment of Columbo's ever-growing list of fans and devotees.
John Cassavetes and Blythe Danner guest star in the opener, ''Etude in Black,'' wherein Columbo matches wits with a symphony conductor who has murdered his mistress; this episode was written by no less than Steven Bochco.
''The Greenhouse Jungle'' stars Ray Millandand Bradford Dillman as a larcenous uncle and nephew who plan to raise a huge amount of money with an elaborate kidnap scam which inevitably segues into murder.
Robert Culp, ''special guest killer;; in the first-season episode ''Death Lends a Hand,'' returns to play a different but equally homicidal miscreant in ''The Most Crucial Game.''
Columbo heads to London in ''Dagger of the Mind,'' a tale of backstage intrigue and suspicious-looking suicides, with Richard Basehart heading the guest-star list.
Movie star Anne Baxter accidentally kills her press agent while attempting to do in her husband in ''Requiem for a Falling Star.''
Leonard Nimoy plays a doctor who uses his medical know-how to cover up two murders in ''Stitch in Crime.''
A deaf chess-master, Laurence Harvey, hatches a murder scheme that points the finger of guilt to a non-deaf person in ''The Most Dangerous Match.''
And in the season-two finale ''Double Shock,'' Martin Landau plays a dual role as a pair of greedy twins, one of whom committed murder -- and, of course, it's up to Columbo to ID the guilty party without ''seeing double.''

Variax 500 jackplate assembly replacement ?

I'm based in the UK and am looking to replace the jackplate assembly for my left handed Variax 500 as it is cracked in a number of places where the screws hold it in (see photo) and I don't think it will last much longer.
I know there are companies in the USA that supply them (eg Full compass) but not do not ship to the UK. My local guitar shop has contacted Line 6 in UK who say they don't have them. Does anyone have any idea how I can get hold of one ?
Things may have changed but a few years ago I got one direct from Line6 UK in Rugby.
The latest number I have for them is 01327 302700
Let us know if you get one as it will be handy to know
Thanks for that.... I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on.
Hi Mark
contacted them today (new number 01788 566 566). None in stock but they are expecting delivery from US in 6 weeks or so... "if they send them" Failing that they will get me a salvaged part. So definite progress.... fingers crossed.
Just as an update. After a number of further conversations with Line 6 in UK it transpired they can't get hold of them in the UK and the original info I was given was incorrect (after being told to call back in 6 weeks when they were expecting a shipment - clearly untrue). .
Then tried to contact Line 6 in the States to see if they could help. Received no reply.
I eventually managed to get hold of one through a supplier (completely unrelated to Line 6) in the States and get shipped over to the UK.
Not at all impressed with Line 6 customer service in UK it has to be said and not really sure what the point of the European section is.
For anyone who is in same position ....I got my jack plate assembly from a company called Spectrum Audio in the States. (There were other companies but they didn't readily ship to UK)
Below is the link to the actual part. Cost about £42 all in. The part costs about £20 but please note the international shipping is another <> £22 on top !!)
Then what you do is "Add to Cart"...
This brings up the "Shopping Cart".
On the right hand side of this screen just below the "Proceed to Checkout" button you'll see "International Orders". Click on that
Then it will ask for billing country. Select UK and you are away.
It came pretty quickly via DHL... about a week give or take..
And the part is actually better than the original one fitted to my guitar.
Hope this is of use to people
I had high hopes, but after claiming it was in stock, and keeping my money for two months Spectrum Audio have now refunded it and cancelled the order, saying they cannot get Line 6 parts any more.
They have now removed them from their website.
There is now, as far as I know, no possible way to get new jack plates unless you live in the US.
I have two Variaxes which unless I can replace the jackplates, are basically firewood.
If Line 6 cannot even keep and send spares for these - a part they know to be the main failure point of the product, why on earth would they expect anyone to fork out even more to buy a JTV?
Hi Londonbabe
I recently got a jack plate.
Maybe you can be lucky too .... Ring Line 6 Customer Service and speak to Chris ...
He got me one out of a Variax that never made it to sale because of some flaws (I think in its paintwork) so there may be more to be had, its worth a try
Cost me £26
Cheers, Mark
spectrum audio still have the item up on their site for sale: see - http://www.spectrumaudio.com/line-6-50-04-0181-4.html but I can't accept the $45 odd they want to charge for shipment to Australia. Awaiting email response from (newly appointed) Line 6 service agent in Sydney to verify they can supply said unit. I have been quoted around $28AUD for the jack plate, but 6-8 weeks wait.......
That Spectrum Audio page has "Discontinued" on it.
An update:
I called Line6 support and was asked to email them a completed form specifying what I wanted to buy.
(Note, Line6: If all your operatives do on the phone is tell me to email them, would it not have been simpler for everyone just to put the email address and the form on your website?)
A month passed with no word from line 6, so I sent a reminder.
Within two days I got a reply, and two brand new 50-04-180 jack plate assemblies were on their way to me, at a mere £16.56 each.
These are an improved part with the spring-loaded cover over the digital jack, no doubt because like me everybody wrecked them poking analogue plugs in there.
It went straight in the Variax 700 - didn't need the blue wiring harness, and I re-used the green earth harness from the guitar - and it all worked perfectly.
However, it didn't work in my original Variax (and early one before they renamed it the 500). - first of all the analogue jack is soldered in a couple of places, rather than using little plugs, so I had to do a bit of mixing and matching.
However, it looks like I'm going to have to bust the soldering kit out anyway, because when I plug it in via the digital cable I only get the signal in a square-wave-type on-off-on-off pattern. The new digital jack has a bank of surface-mount capacitors on it (as did the old one in the 700) whereas the original jack does not have these. I guess I'm therefore going to have to swap the small boards over on the digital jacks...
Oh well, at least I now have one working Variax, which I am delighted about. I will report progress with the other.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Kidd Kraddick
Sensitive. Friendly. Hilarious. Kidd Kraddick is the driving force behind Kidd Kraddick In The Morning.
Kidd Kraddick decided his career while serving as 10th grade class president. "We sponsored a big dance for the seniors but didn't have enough money to hire a deejay. So I snuck out my dad's stereo and did it myself."
From there he was hooked. After stints as a nighttime teen idol in Miami, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and Tampa (where he was given the name "Kidd" by a program director), Kraddick took his show to Dallas, where he quickly made the transition to morning drive. The conversations and stories on air range from mundane to profoundly honest.
But it's not just the openness of the show that has made his show top-rated in virtually every possible demographic. Kraddick's big heart has also played a part.
Each year, through fund-raisers and special events, his non-profit organization raises over a hundred thousand dollars to send children to Disney World. For over ten years, Kidd's Kids has provided free trips for the families of hundreds of chronically and terminally ill children. Kraddick fills the seats of a 737 airplane each November and spends four days helping the children fulfill a fantasy. A film chronicling the trip won last year's prestigious Videographer Award of Excellence.
Kraddick's numerous awards include the WB Radio Music Award for America's Best Radio Personality, named to the Ten Outstanding Young Americans by theAmerican Junior Chamber, Major Market Personality Of The Year by Radio and Records, and the distinguished Marconi Award for radio personality of the year.

Geoff Johns stepping down as Green Lantern writer
PHILADELPHIA — Writer Geoff Johns has taken DC Entertainment's Green Lantern and its associated characters through brightest day and blackest night, but after nine years of scripting tales about the galactic police force whose rings are powered by will, he's leaving the series in May with issue No. 20 to focus on the Justice League and its related titles.
In doing so, Johns is stepping away from the characters that he first tackled in the pages of "Rebirth," a six-issue miniseries drawn by Ethan Van Sciver in 2004-2005, that brought characters such as Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Kyle Raner and John Stewart back to the forefront while revisiting the six-decade history of the Green Lantern Corps.
"I'm really proud of all the stuff we've built with Green Lantern — from Larfleeze to the different corps," Johns told The Associated Press about his decision. "The universe has expanded and will live well past my run. It was more than just telling another story, but really giving back to the character by expanding and adding to their mythology."
Now, after nine years of writing about Green Lantern, as well as the assorted heroes and villains, along with helping retool their origins for DC's 2011 revamp dubbed "The New 52," Johns said he'd reached a point in the current story to step away and let someone else take over the writing.
"I was getting to an end point and a story line that made sense for me. I felt like it was time to close my run and focus all my energies on the Justice League corner of the DC Universe," he said, noting that his stories were collaborative efforts with artists and editors like Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, Van Sciver and Peter Tomasi.
"It was a very, very hard decision. I absolutely love these characters but I felt like I had a story line that really made sense and felt emotionally satisfying and felt very big and very epic."
He's taking some characters from Green Lantern with him, too, including Simon Baz, a Muslim-American Green Lantern that Johns created.
Johns, who is DC's chief creative officer, was guarded in discussing his plans for the publisher's Justice League books, but said the time was right for him to make them his primary focus. He'll be working with writer Jeff Lemire and continue to write "Aquaman," too.
The Green Lantern titles will continue, too, and Johns promised a "monster of an issue" for "Green Lantern" No. 20 which is illustrated by artist Doug Mahnke.
"It really, for me, ties everything else and ends the Green Lantern saga," Johns said of the 64-page issue. "This story — the way the story evolves — I think people will get a sense of finality from it."

OKI am an avid listener. I listen between 75-100 hours per month on my iPhone: 60% fiction to 40% non-fiction.
The Hit, the new novel by David Baldacci takes no time to start the killing. The book opens with a double cross killing in the first five minutes of listening and then a second hit in the next five. Baldacci quickly establishes the street creds for the Will Robie (the pursuer) and Jessica Real (the pursuee). Both are hit men except that Real, the only female hit man has gone off the reservation -- or so with are led to believe.
And so, the chase starts, Robie chasing Real, and many twists and turns catch you by surprise in this novel. It is a good listen and it is classic Baldacci. If you liked his last novel (released only a month ago), and I did, you'll find this one equally interesting. In this novel it more about suspense and intrigue than the love angle of the last.
I find Baldacci to be somewhat a touch too commercial, but I do like his story lines. He plays with emotions and suspense and does a good job with character development. The narration is performed by Ron McLarity and Orlagh Cassidy – I thought the narration was a touch too dramatic and could have been dialed back just a touch – but it was just okay.
This book will appeal to those who like thrillers with a government backdrop. If you looking for a big love story in this one, you won't get it. It is definitely worth the time time -- give it a listen.
You're at a wedding, except it's the wedding of the love of your life to someone else. Coben spins obsession and suspense early in the fantastic new novel: Six Years. I had this novel on my pre-order list for a while and thanks to travel I was able to listen to the whole thing in almost one continuous stream. The story unfolds in layers and the character development is excellent and starts from the first sentence. You can't help but see the flaws in Jake Fisher. Coben sets you up, gives you clues, offers false starts and little hints that keep you on the edge and wondering and speculating.
The novel is performed by Stott Brick. He is one of my favorites! Of my favorite performances is his narration of the Pendergast series by Preston and Child. He does exceptionally well within this genre and he doesn't disappoint.
This novel is going to please anyone who likes a good solid "search for the truth". There is no technology in this mystery, but you won't miss it. I wouldn't recommend it for the teen to young adult crowd, it's not the subject matter, the story line won't likely appeal. I give this a solid must listen, at 10 hours, it will hold you interest and then some.
One of the best things about this novel is how quickly Baldacci gets you to bond with the Archer family. It only takes a couple of chapters before you are really feeling the impending weight of the unfolding mystery. The book starts off with a plane crash and then a one month rewind -- not a spoiler because it happens so quickly. I really liked the way he setup the story. You are left with nothing at the beginning and the twists and turns are slowly revealed with excellent descriptive detail.
The narration is good, I am not crazy about the way Jonathan Maroz performed it; but he did not detract from the suspense.
This book will appeal to someone who is very much a mystery thriller reader. If you are new to Baldacci it will motivate you to read some of his others. It is a must if you have been a long term fan. I consider it a solid wall-ball double, to make a baseball analogy. I would have liked a little more character development and bit more editing. But overall, it is a solid read.

Today Is the Day
Kiss the Pig
Today is the Day. You're either rabidly in love with them or you find them unlistenable. I remember the first time I heard them I couldn't believe how anyone could willingly subject themselves to this sort of bizarre noise. Still, I went out and bought the album anyway. After a few months, I became addicted and had to stop listening to them as I started to believe that the music was actually making me feel miserable. So here I am today, barely able to contain myself over the excitement of having more music to kill myself with.
For anyone unfamiliar with Today is the Day, they're sort of the cousin of King Crimson that flipped out on acid and randomly shot up a shopping mall. It's hard to really describe them beyond that. They used to be signed to the Minneapolis based label, Amphetamine Reptile - which may say more depending on your familiarity with the label. Known for their intense live performances, Today is the Day effectively combine noise with complex rhythms and really cerebral riffing. They typically use a variety of vocal styles ranging from somber singing to some of the most over-the-top screaming you've ever heard. I'd have to say the most commonly heard complaint about this band is the vocals, but any of their fans probably wouldn't trade them for any other kind. Like I said before, you love 'em or you're completely confused by them.
Returning with Chris Debari on bass and the addition of Mike Rosswog (Circle of Dead Children) on drums, Steve Austin launches yet another attack on your sensibility, comfort, and sanity. A lot of people were disappointed at 2002's Sadness Will Prevail. Admittedly, I wasn't thrilled over it, but I didn't think it was too drastic of a change, and it certainly had some incredible material. Kiss the Pig feels sort of like a response to all the people who whined and fussed over the experimental nature of the previous album.
Everything's fairly straightforward and saturated with anger. If you've heard Today is the Day, you'll get what you'll expect - only angrier. More importantly, if you're a fan, you'll get what you want. Just as neurotic and paranoid as any of their other albums, it's the heaviest thing I've heard of theirs. There aren't really any slow or brooding tracks this time around - just a few ominous parts that prelude bursts into their dissonant melodies. Throwing Mike Rosswog into the fold was probably one of the best things that could happen for this album. Really great drumming - so precise and adds a lot of depth to the songwriting. It doesn't feel like he was just recruited to play some pre-written parts - more that he actually contributed his own ideas to craft some truly great songs.
By far, the quick 1:40 blast of "Outland" is the most moving and memorable songs on the album. Steve Austin shrieks his entire heart out throughout the whole track as it plays the same murdering riff over and over again, starting and stopping. It ends abruptly and leads into "Don't Tread on Hope", another vertigo-inducing track which stomps and crashes before leading into another one of their trademark passages of frightening melody.
Once again, Today is the Day releases an album to scare the shit out of everyone. If you found Sadness Will Prevail was a little too eclectic for your tastes, fear not, as Kiss the Pig certainly wants nothing more than to encourage you to drive your car off a bridge. I know for myself, it's everything I hoped it would be, and I'm positive that this release will further increase their fanbase's sickening devotion to them.

Mitchell: And the Hits Just Keep on Coming
So Grady Sizemore is out for the whole of Spring Training. Now Closer Chris Perez is on the shelf for 4-6 weeks with an oblique strain. Sizemore's injury is a shame, if you were surprised, you haven't been paying attention.
The major difference between the effect of the two injuries is that thought the Tribe was hoping for a rebound from Sizemore to help them make a run at the play-offs, they were COUNTING on a healthy Perez to anchor wheat is supposed to be a very good bullpen.
Perez' injury is not one that is expected to keep him down for much or (cross fingers) any of the regular season, but if it puts him well behind schedule for his preparation to be ready to go full bore, then Manny Acta might be forced to utilize his bullpen in ways that don't necessarily maximize players' abilities. Can Vinnie Pestano close games? Clippers fans know the answer to that, but the dominoes might put people in situations they aren't best equipt to handle.
In other injury news, former flame-throwing national sensation Joel Zumaya wrecked his elbow just a dozen pitches into his first live bullpen session with his new club the Minnesota Twins. He is out for the season with a torn UCL in his right elbow. Zumaya looked good in off season workouts in front of several teams and the Twins locked him up to a one-year deal for a base salary of $850K plus many lucrative incentives. Minnesota is on the hook for $200K if they cut Zumaya due to injury, but that's better than what they would have to pay him to sit on the DL for the season.
As the action heats up in the desert, so will the news, so check back often!

Bank of America and Citigroup are among the companies set to release quarterly results Thursday.
Overall, S&P 500 companies are expected to report earnings growth of 3.2% for the last three months of 2012, according to S&P's Capital IQ.
While earnings are currently the dominant theme, the focus could shift to Washington as the debate over the U.S. borrowing limit heats up, said J.J. Kinahan, chief derivatives strategist at TD Ameritrade.
"We may have a bit of a pause after earnings season ends and we head into debt ceiling negotiations," said Kinahan. "That's when you might see people start to hold back. For now, people are trading earnings as if it's a normal market."
Less-than-stellar economic reports also dampened investor enthusiasm Wednesday.
The World Bank lowered its outlook for global economic growth this year to 2.4%, relatively unchanged from the estimated 2.3% growth rate in 2012. The bank had previously forecast 3% growth for 2013. While growth in developing economies will remain solid, the World Bank expects activity in the developed countries to remain subdued.
On a positive note, the U.S. government's key measure of inflation showed that consumer prices slowed to a 1.7% annual increase last month -- mostly due to a decline in gas prices.
In other economic news, industrial production rose 0.3% in December, according to the Federal Reserve. Economists had anticipated a 0.2% after industrial production jumped 1% in November.
Economic growth continued at a "modest or moderate" pace across the 12 districts of the Federal Reserve system in the past few weeks, according to the latest edition of the Federal Reserve's Beige Book.
The Treasury International Capital report showed an inflow of $27.8 billion in November. The TIC data, which measure foreign purchases of U.S. assets, showed that overseas investors increased their holdings of Treasury bills by $4.5 billion. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged up to 1.83% from 1.82% on Tuesday.

Overall Product Rating (4 out of 5)
By JBT
I own a pair of the suede flats (aqua - a pretty, versatile color) and find them to be super comfortable, if a bit slipper-like. If you like or need structure and support, this isn't for you. Good for the office and quick errands. Nice looking even in a larger size. I purchased a half-size down for a secure fit (elastic rim also helps).
Hush Puppie's Reply:
These are a great flat that are quick and easy to slip-on and go. Thank you for the great feedback about the slipper-like feel and stating how they do not have the support and structure as other styles. We love hearing for you and want to thank you for this review.

The game's release date may have been an unfortunate coincidence. Apps must be approved by Apple before they appear in its App Store, and the minimum time frame for Apple to review and approve an app is about 10 days, said videogame designer and theorist Ian Bogost, professor of interactive computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology. In some cases, Apple has taken three weeks to approve apps.
"We're both speculating if we try to guess whether NRA and the developer had this in their back pocket, waiting for the right time, or whether the release date is mere accident," Bogost said. "It's also not clear exactly how involved the NRA was in its release. The game seems to have been an officially licensed NRA product, but that might just mean that the developer had the rights to use the NRA name."
Apple did not immediately respond Tuesday to requests for comment.
"NRA: Practice Range" is listed on iTunes as an "official NRA licensed product," created in conjunction with MEDL Mobile, a mobile-tech startup. The game is free, although for 99 cents, players can upgrade their firearms and "unlock" an MK11 sniper rifle. The game includes a handful of tips on gun safety.
Former House Speaker and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich defended the app Tuesday on "CBS This Morning."
"My understanding is that it's a gun safety app, and it's for young hunters to learn gun safety," he said. "But I would just recommend that people watch the entire app before they render judgment."
Bogost, the videogame theorist, believes the debate about the NRA's new game boils down to perspective.
NRA opponents will reflexively see the game as inappropriate, but to gun-rights supporters, "a firing-range game that embraces the NRA's overall position on safety and gun rights probably seems like a welcome alternative to public discourse about gun control," he said.
"In its post-Sandy Hook press conference, the NRA blamed violent media instead of gun ownership for the tragedy, singling out video games in particular. But from the NRA's perspective, the practice range game is not a violent game. The player only discharges firearms at paper and clay targets. For the NRA, it offers a model of responsible gun use," Bogost said in an e-mail.
It's not the first time the NRA has been involved with a video game. In 2006, it endorsed a shooting game called "NRA Gun Club" for the PlayStation 2 console. And in 2008, the NRA lent its name to three shooting games: "NRA Varmit Hunter, " "NRA High Power Competition" and "NRA Xtreme Accuracy Shooting."

The Southern Ohio Autism Project and the Surviving Our Loss and Continuing Everyday (SOLACE) organization joined forces to host a multifaceted community event at Millbrook Park in New Boston.
More than 700 people came out Saturday for the the Autism Project of Southern Ohio's Walk for Autism Awareness and SOLACE's Walk for Memories.
Michael Bell, president of the Autism Project of Southern Ohio, said the purpose was to raise awareness about autism, and to work in conjunction with the SOLACE organization. Bell said the number of people that came out exceeded his expectations.
"We are having this Walk for Autism Awareness in honor of April being Autism Awareness Month. This is tremendous, I love the community, and the support that they give us. This is our first time to have this at Millbrook Park and for all of these people to come out like this means a lot," Bell said.
Jo Anna Krohn, founder of the SOLACE organization said she is overwhelmed by the support from the community.
"What we are doing is promoting drug awareness and prevention and recovery. Five years ago today, I received the call that my son Wes had shot himself, so just to see so many people come out, and to understand that this is a disease that is consuming our children, and taken them from us just means everything in the world to me," Krohn said.
The event also included a preview of RISE UP a video to be used in schools throughout Ohio and live performances by the Josh Stewart Band and Tyme Lyne Bandits band.
Bell conducted an auction, full of items donated by local businesses. There was also a Chinese auction and a car show.
Vendors were present with booths with baked goods to handcrafted items for sale.
Children were afforded the luxury of having their faces painted at booth, as well as an opportunity to play in the park playground during the event.
Another activity was a joint Balloon release between the two organizations.
The event also included the unveiling of the new Wheelchair swing in Millbrook Park.

Customer Reviews for PVC/Vinyl Blue Blindsgalore Vertical Window Blinds
"Nice Blinds"
By Sue from New Port Richey, FL
These verticals are very pretty and thick. We did have one problem. The rods arrived 5/8" too long and the vanes of the blinds are about 1/2" too long. We had to have a contractor cut down the rod and the individual vanes. Other than that, we are happy with them.
View this product"Classy-looking Blinds"
By customer from Washington State
I first bought one blind to cover a window whose blind had broken. The new Blindgalore blind was so pretty I decided to redo the other living room windows as well. They were made to order, fit wonderfully and were easy to install. I did have to put the brackets in backwards on mine older (1940's) window frames to do the inside mount but they look great and the windows look so much better with this treatment. I replaced horizontal miniblinds with these in my living room because I have had vertical blinds in my bedroom for years and found them to be versatile in how they open and much easier to keep clean than miniblinds. They draw back like real curtains and when they are closed they also look more like cloth curtains, they can be angled to block the sunlight or to bring it in. This particular blind is a textured blind and has a very classy look.
