A Pendant of Summoning is a Pendant of Skill that may be obtained as a prize from the Squeal of Fortune. While worn, it will provide the player with an experience multiplier of 1.5x while training Summoning; however, it will not increase experience gained from any of the Distractions and Diversions or for any one off rewards (such as those from quests). The pendant may be taken into Daemonheim and will boost experience in there as well. Players may check the remaining amount of experience that can be boosted by right-clicking it. Once depleted completely, it can only be replenished with 10 small recharge gems, a large recharge gem will not work. Like other Squeal of Fortune experience rewards, the pendant will appear directly in the player's inventory instead of their bank.

LUMBERTON — Pamela T. Hilbert, the current vice president of academic affairs at Pitt Community College in Greenville, is expected to become the fourth president of Robeson Community College — and the first woman to serve in that capacity.
She will replace Charles Chrestman, who is retiring after serving as RCC president for more than a decade.
Hilbert was selected by RCC's board of trustees, and her appointment is pending approval by the State Board of Community Colleges. The RCC trustees will meet Thursday to finalize her contract.
Hilbert is expected to begin her tenure as RCC president on March 1. She could not be reached for comment.
The new president has held her current position at Pitt Community College since June 2006. She was vice president of instruction and student support at Carteret Community College in Morehead City from 1999 to 2006, and from 1996 to 1999 she served as dean of the evening division for Wake Technical Community College in Raleigh. She also served as the recruiter-instructional supervisor for WTCC from 1989 to 1996.
Hilbert holds a bachelor's degree in theater arts from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. She also earned a master's degree in adult and community college education and a doctorate of education from North Carolina State University.
George D. Regan, chairman of the RCC board of trustees, said Hilbert is expected to bring to RCC a cross-section of experience from some of the state's premier community colleges, adding that she has a strong background in curricula, instruction and student support services.
Hilbert was one of six finalists interviewed by the trustees last month. One of the other finalists was Mark Kinlaw, RCC's current vice president for instruction and support services and chief academic officer.
Originally there were 37 applicants for the president's position, but 13 did not meet the minimum requirements for the job — a doctorate from an accredited institution, and at least five years of senior-level community college leadership.
Chrestman announced in July that he would be retiring at the end of 2012. He later agreed to stay at RCC until the end of this month so the trustees had adequate time to find his replacement. A reception is planned at the community college in honor of Chrestman from 2 to 4 p.m. on Feb. 24. The public is welcome.

I'm looking at a 700 or so so tax return I think.
"There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it."
- Guatama Buddha
im confused about whether dogar is conservative or not?
is it the hypocrisy of a conservative taking ample advantage of social welfare programs that confuses you?? hypocritical actions by conservatives should not confuse anybody.
Hypocritical? No. Actually it's quite indicative of being a conservative/capitalist. I take advantage of the best opportunity to not spend money on things I need to buy the things I want. If that means I screw over the electric company then so be it but that most certainly does not make me a hypocrite, just an opportunist, i.e. a capitalist i.e. not a filthy liberal but a conservative. As Aristotle wrote, and I paraphrase, it's not so much what you did or what the result was, but rather, what your reasoned intent initially was.
the things conservatives say to guard themselves from their unscrupulousness!
Where are Lenin and Trotsky when you need them?
i miss being an avowed communist, but functionally being anything but a pussy social democrat type is silly in this day.
Once we have 3-D printers capable of doing really useful things, and more advanced robotics communism will be unavoidable. But right now socialism is fine.
that would be true flamingo but capitalism will delay progress for as long as it can. that's the nature of the beast.

Nate Ruess, Fun. lead singer, talks about Grammys
Fun. is learning to have fun — with less alcohol and more sleep.
Lead singer Nate Ruess says the band's successful year has taught him "that I need to take better care of myself."
"Really, that's been the big thing," Ruess said in a phone interview from Detroit last week. "(The year) really put us through the ringer as far as everything is concerned, and we didn't get a lot of sleep, so it was pretty rough. But what was cool is that I quit smoking and I cut back on drinking and I just made sleep a priority — and I think that's what all of us did."
The trio, which includes guitarist Jack Antonoff and keyboardist Andrew Dost, has been on a wild ride since its dark pop-rock sophomore album, "Some Nights," was released last February.
They performed at an inaugural ball for President Barack Obama, and had one of last year's biggest anthems with the six-time platinum No. 1 hit, "We Are Young." The group's second single and title track is a multiplatinum radio smash, and their album is near platinum status with 958,675 units sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (One million units sold means platinum status.)
Fun. is nominated for six awards, including best album, song and record of the year, and best new artist, at this year's Grammys, to air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 10.
Ruess, 30, talks about the multiple nominations, collaborating with other pop stars and the band's current tour, which wraps up Feb. 16 in Nashville, Tenn.
AP: The band is back on the road after a month off. How does it feel?
Ruess: Everybody got in and everybody looked healthy and everybody just looked happy and so excited to be with each other, and I think that's because we learned to take care of ourselves.
AP: Have you been working on new music? Continued...
Ruess: I had just written (a song), and I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it. And ("Some Nights" producer Jeff Bhasker) was like, "That absolutely has to be on the next fun. album." So, that was really cool. And then we were with some friends and he like made me play it because he was like so proud of the song.
AP: How does it feel to be nominated in all of the top categories at the Grammys?
Ruess: It was just crazy. Someone from the Grammys right before they announced the first award was like, "Buckle your seatbelt."
AP: How did you celebrate?
Ruess: I'm not a celebratory kind of guy, but I will say that I started drinking champagne. It's my alcoholic beverage of choice, but perhaps then that makes every moment a celebration.
AP: You're one of five songwriters listed on Ke$ha's current hit single, "Die Young." How did the collaboration come about?
Ruess: I just wrote the hook and I wrote it for something else, and then a couple of producers got a hold of it and worked on the rest with her. I was not involved in anything other than the (hook). Somewhere around the world there's me singing that chorus.
AP: Do you want to do more of that?
Ruess: I don't do it that often. Jeff and I did the Pink song ("Just Give Me a Reason") and I think we have a couple other things on the horizon, but it's not something that I, I don't know. It takes definitely a certain artist for me to want to do it. I don't write songs that often and for "Some Nights," I wrote them songs like a month before we went into the studio, and a lot of them were fueled by meeting Jeff and getting really inspired. And for me, I don't write that often, and when I do, I like to keep it for fun.
AP: How's the tour going? Continued...
Ruess: I write the set list every night before we go onstage. I like to change it as much as possible. I spent my month off figuring out what new songs we're going to play. We're going to be adding a cover, adding songs off of "Some Nights" that we never really played before and expanding the set list. I've been studying Coldplay and U2, and how those bands do their set lists and how they choose songs and their light shows and everything like that. I got really heavy into all of that stuff.
AP: Yeah, Coldplay's shows are full of beaming lights.
Ruess: It's totally crazy and unique. And that's my favorite thing about success in general — you can play bigger venues and you get to have more production, and we got Coldplay's lighting director to do our light show. ... (Last year) was so booked solid that we didn't get a chance at all to like, we'd add stuff on to the tour, but we never got a chance to rehearse, or like get into a room, all of us together. We had to do everything on the fly. Now, we're getting to spend like four or five days getting it good.

Byron Scott benches Dion Waiters in Cavs' preseason loss to Bucks (with video)
CANTON — There is some tough love going on with the Cavaliers and Dion Waiters right now.
First, Coach Byron Scott decided not to start the 2012 No. 4 overall pick in the first two preseason games.
Then, with 10 minutes, 54 seconds left in the Cavs' 97-80 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday at the Canton Civic Center, Scott benched Waiters for making an error on a play.
Such is the life of the rookie from Syracuse, who has not gotten off to the type of start he had hoped.
The 6-foot-4, 221-pounder finished 1 of 7 from the field for two points, three assists and four turnovers in 14 minutes.
"He struggled offensively big time," Scott said. "I took him out in the second half. I drew up a play, and he messed it up. To me, that was a lack of focus. I figured he didn't need to play the rest of the game."
C.J. Miles, who is solidifying the starting shooting guard spot, led all scorers with 18 points. He added three rebounds and three steals. Miles made 6 of 13 attempts from the field and 4 of 7 from behind the 3-point arc.
"I thought C.J. was one of the bright spots," Scott said. "He played pretty good in the first game and much better tonight. He made some mistakes. Guys are going to make mistakes. It's how you make mistakes that are concerning to me.
"(Miles) was lively. He was one of the few guys who came ready to play."
Point guard Kyrie Irving was the only other Cavalier to score in double figures with 16 points.
"We took a step back," Scott said. "We played selfish basketball and didn't move the ball."
Many observers think the Cavs (1-1) will have trouble scoring this season. Scott isn't one of them.
"I really don't," he said. "If we play the way we're capable of playing, and play the way I want us to play, we'll be fine as far as the scoring goes.
"I'm trying a lot of things and seeing which things fit with what."
Power forward Jon Leuer added eight points, six rebounds and one block in 22 minutes. He made his first four shots and missed his last five.
"There were some familiar faces I was going against," the former Bucks forward said. "I'm able to stretch the floor and open up lanes. It's something I can do."
He said the scoring will come with more reps.
"You can see the daily progression in practice," Leuer said.
Miles said he thought the shooting guard spot was his to lose. He's playing very well. Continued...
"I think I fit in well," he said. "I want to make everyone else better so Kyrie doesn't have to make each and every play."
Miles said he wants the defense to improve.
"We need to get everybody on the same page defensively," he said. "We see flashes of guys doing the right things. We have to keep getting better."
The Bucks (1-0) had six players in double figures, led by Monta Ellis and Brandon Jennings with 15 each.
Scott said before the game there's no clear-cut favorite for the backup point guard spot. Donald Sloan and Jeremy Pargo might be fighting for one roster spot.
"Even in practice, they are evenly matched," Scott said.
Pargo was 1 of 7 from the field for two points Tuesday. He had five assists and four turnovers. Sloan didn't play against the Bucks, but had 13 points against Montepaschi Siena on Monday.

"60,000btu 92% Efficient"
Combustion fumes blowing into heated space. Contractor has been here twice and has not solved the problem. I paid $2100.00 and since installation I have had problems and if not for space heaters, would not had heat. Today is Feb. 22 and the job was finished on 6Feb. Need help on solving problem.

"get the extended warranty"
Furnace works well as does the Acculean (Aprilaire) air cleaner that was installed at the same time. After 4 years the computer control board died and the replacement cost was over $500 plus the cost for the diagnostic trip by the tech and the second trip out to install the new controller. It was replaced under the 5-year parts warranty but we were still out the cost for the two service calls. It would have been a good idea to pay for the extended warranty with a part that when it dies will cost $800 to repair. With a 5-year warranty we may end up replacing the board another 2-3 times during the life of the furnace. The dealer that sold us the furnace and installed it turned out to be the one company in our area that provides the worst service after the sale.

"Freedom 80 is garbage"
I live in LA, which means I need to run the furnace maybe one month out of the year to keep the house comfortable. And yet this furnace never has worked properly. Whether its a bad "call for heat," or a bad high limit sensor, it never wants to supply heat. Already had three service calls from the guys who installed it, and even they are mystified, but they still charge $150-200 each time for the service call. Sometimes in the middle of the night, the furnace will work for 10 minutes, then the heat cuts out and just blows cold air until I wake up and realize the house is freezing and I trudge to the garage to unplug the damn thing for the rest of the winter. We are staying warm with electric blankets, space heaters and sweaters, but our house is a consistent 58 degrees at night. At least we're saving on our utility bill.

"I would buy a vent-less gas heater for back up"
Personally if you have natural gas available I would buy a vent-less gas heater for back up. These units do not need electric for the flame so if you lose power you will still have heat and you can buy a new one for a couple hundred bucks.

"Never buy a Trane furnace"
I bought this unit between 7 and 8 years ago. And today is Friday December 10 2011 and my furnace died again for the 5th time -- the main board is gone. My first board went at the first year. I have had Trane rep. here and that did not fix the problem. So now here I am with no money for a new furnace and no heat. There motto is: "Nothing Stops a Trane" -- that's a lie. Don't ever buy a Trane.

"American Standard Freedom 90: Reliable and Efficient"
I installed an American Standard Freedom 90 Single Stage gas forced air furnace along with the American Standard Allegiance 11 central air conditioner in May 2003. It has been a reliable and efficient unit in the eight years it has been in operation in my home. The furnace offers 92% efficiency and heats a 1080 square foot, 3 bedroom 1955-built ranch house in Duluth, Minnesota for under $200 per month even in the middle of winter. The first year after, I saw a 39% reduction in my gas bill from the winter before, so it's an ideal choice to upgrade if you have an older furnace. The coil for the Allegiance 11 central air unit fits in the plenum above the Freedom 90 furnace; with the entire system mated to a programmable thermostat, it is easy to switch from heating in winter to cooling in summer. Operation is quiet. The only drawback is the filter; it takes a 14x25 filter, which does not seem to be a common, easy to find size. In eight years, it has been very reliable. I have had only one service call, when it was six years old at the beginning of the 2009-10 heating season, to replace the valve that opens when it starts to allow gas to come from the gas supply into the furnace. The repair was done by a local contractor that specializes in the American Standard brand and was fixed right the first time. The American Standard brand is one I'd buy again, and I have recommended it to friends. It has offered nearly flawless operation and saved me a significant amount of money over the last eight years.

"worst upgrade ever!!!!!"
I upgraded to a forced air/air conditioning system form a burnham steam boiler system. I thought the steam system was a pain to add water all the time and drain out the rust from the boiler. Every year we had to tighten the valves and nuts on the radiators, and they always seemed to leak a little.. I thought this was it, a high efficiency gas furnace and high efficiency air conditioning I would never have to pay for repairs again. WOW!!!!! Was I wrong, I paid $12,000 to have this system installed in my small cape sytyle house 1,100sq. feet, and have had 29 service calls in 2 years and the heat and ac have been out over 2 dozen times. I paid out of pocket $4,000.00 for repair labor not cover under warranty, in addition to $300 annual service contract which basically covers a cleaning and ac checkup. I would have never replaced this steam boiler which was only 7 years old if not conviced by the gas company energy audit that I would never have a problem for 20 years on a new system. They were dead wrong. Lost the heat the first month after install , was a bad circuit board , we froze fro a week while they got a board from canada. Very< Very, VERY, disappointed. I am going to sell this house and get a condo. Thanks to AAAAMERICAN Standard>>>>>>

"Freedom 95 now call Silver ZI"
Ordered Freedom 90, installed unit did not work, company upgraded to freedom 95 without charge but week wait for new unit. New unit difficult to install, expensive (almost 10k). Must have service yearly to maintain warranty ($100/yr). Now coldest weather in months and mother board zaps out. New part comes from L.A. parts distrib, wrong part. Wait 10 days new part. Still freezing, disabled and cold creates immobilizing pain. Still waiting. Know a good attorney?

"very dissatified with american standard"
have an american standard furnace. wow, what I could say about this. for some reason moisture & scum builds up in one of the pipes and then furnace or air conditioner will not work. have to suck out this mess periodically. I cannot believe anyone would build such a thing. I am not able to do this, and have to call repair man to come and it is costly. do not, I repeat, never buy american standard.

America's military is becoming an unlikely but wickedly effective training ground for gangland soldiers.
- Discover the rich and bloody history of gangs in America, from the Colonies to the present.
- THE HISTORY CHANNEL® ventures deep into uncharted regions of the criminal underworld.
- Ex-military gang-bangers are bringing battleground tactics and skills to America's streets.
GANGLAND boldly shines a light on the darkest corners of America, where criminals live by their own laws and brutality reigns. Literally billions of dollars, and tens of thousands of lives, pass through the vast gang network, which effectively forms a shadow economy rivaling a small nation's. Unprecedented access to the inner workings of America's most feared gangs, coupled with incisive historical analysis and conversations with law enforcement specialists, paints the most accurate and compelling portrait of GANGLAND on television. You can't get closer to the truth of America's gangs without getting "jumped-in!"
Are America's armed forces creating the best trained, best equipped, deadliest gang-bangers in history?
In 2005, Richard Valdemar, one of the country's leading gang experts and a 30-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, issued a warning: "Gangs around the country were sending their members to the military to learn urban warfare." The FBI believes gang members enlist to receive weapons, combat and convoy support training; to obtain access to weapons and explosives; or as an alternative to incarceration.
Gang members have infiltrated America's military. Gang graffiti is visible everywhere in the battle zones of Iraq. Hand signs are flashed at every gathering of soldiers, and are commonplace in frontline photographs. On-base gang activity is responsible for a rash of crime and violence that rivals some prison systems. And most disturbing, after receiving the world's best training and conditioning in tactics and killing techniques, gang members return to their home turf ready to wage war against law enforcement, rival gangs and ordinary citizens.
In this eye-opening episode of GANGLAND, stunning surveillance footage shows bangers applying their military training in deadly gun battles. Experts analyze the gang problem within the armed forces, and current and former bangers speak out about gang life before, during and after a military career.
This twofold crisis gangs infecting the military and gang-bangers bringing military tactics home to the streets becomes stunningly clear in GANGLAND: BASIC TRAINING.

Open Source Cloud Computing with Hadoop
Have you ever wondered how Google, Facebook and other Internet giants process their massive workloads? Billions of requests are served every day by the biggest players on the Internet, resulting in background processing involving datasets in the petabyte scale. Of course they rely on Linux and cloud computing for obtaining the necessary scalability and performance. The flexibility of Linux combined with the seamless scalability of cloud environments provide the perfect framework for processing huge datasets, while eliminating the need for expensive infrastructure and custom proprietary software. Nowadays, Hadoop is one of the best choices in open source cloud computing, offering a platform for large scale data crunching.
In this article we introduce and analyze the Hadoop project, which has been embraced by many commercial and scientific initiatives that need to process huge datasets. It provides a full platform for large-scale dataset processing in cloud environments, being easily scalable since it can be deployed on heterogeneous cluster infrastructure and regular hardware. As of April 2011, Amazon, AOL, Adobe, Ebay, Google, IBM, Twitter, Yahoo and several universities are listed as users in the project's wiki. Being maintained by the Apache Foundation, Hadoop comprises a full suite for seamless distributed scalable computing on huge datasets. It provides base components on top of which new distributed computing sub projects can be implemented. Among its main components is an open source implementation of the MapReduce framework (for distributed data processing) together with a data storage solution composed by a distributed filesystem and a data warehouse.
The MapReduce Framework
The MapReduce framework was created and patented by Google in order to process their own page rank algorithm and other applications that support their search engine. The idea behind it was actually introduced many years ago by the first functional programming languages such as LISP, and basically consists of partitioning a large problem into several "smaller" problems that can be solved separately. The partitioning and finally the main problem's result are computed by two functions: Map and Reduce. In terms of data processing, the Map function takes a large dataset and partitions it into several smaller intermediate datasets that can be processed in parallel by different nodes in a cluster. The reduce function then takes the separate results of each computation and aggregates them to form the final output. The power of MapReduce can be leveraged by different applications to perform operations such as sorting and statistical analysis on large datasets, which may be mapped into smaller partitions and processed in parallel.
Hdaoop MapReduce
Hadoop includes a Java implementation of the MapReduce framework, its underlying components and the necessary large scale data storage solutions. Although application programming is mostly done in Java, it provides APIs in different languages such as Ruby and Python, allowing developers to integrate Hadoop to diverse existing applications. It was first inspired by Google's implementation of MapReduce and the GFS distributed filesystem, absorbing new features as the community proposed new specific sub projects and improvements. Currently, Yahoo is one of the main contributors to this project, making public the modifications carried out by their internal developers. The basis of Hadoop and its several sub projects is the Core, which provides components and interfaces for distributed I/O and filesystems. The Avro data serialization system is also an important building block, providing cross-language RPC and persistent data storage.
On top of the Core, there's the actual implementation of MapReduce and its APIs, including the Hadoop Streaming, which allows flexible development of Map and Reduce functions in any desired language. A MapReduce cluster is composed by a master node and a cloud of several worker nodes. The nodes in this cluster may be any Java enabled platform, but large Hadoop installations are mostly run on Linux due to its flexibility, reliability and lower TCO. The master node manages the worker nodes, receiving jobs and distributing the workload across the nodes. In Hadoop terminology, the master node runs the JobTracker, responsible for handling incoming jobs and allocating nodes for performing separate tasks. Worker nodes run TaskTrackers, which offer virtual task slots that are allocated to specific map or reduce tasks depending on their access to the necessary input data and overall availability. Hadoop offers a web management interface, which allows administrators to obtain information on the status of jobs and individual nodes in the cloud. It also allows fast and easy scalability through the addition of cheap worker nodes without disrupting regular operations.
HDFS: A distributed filesystem
The main use of the MapReduce framework is in processing large volumes of data, and before any processing takes place it is necessary to first store this data in some volume accessible by the MapReduce cluster. However, it is impractical to store such large data sets on local filesystems, and much more impractical to synchronize the data across the worker nodes in the cluster. In order to address this issue, Hadoop also provides the Hadoop Distributed Filesystem (HDFS), which easily scales across the several nodes in a MapReduce cluster, leveraging the storage capacity of each node to provide storage volumes in the petabyte scale. It eliminates the need for expensive dedicated storage area network solutions while offering similar scalability and performance. HDFS runs on top of the Core and is perfectly integrated into the MapReduce APIs provided by Hadoop. It is also accessible via command line utilities and the Thrift API, which provides interfaces for various programming languages, such as Perl, C++, Python and Ruby. Furthermore, a FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) driver can be used to mount HDFS as a standard filesystem.
In a typical HDFS+MapReduce cluster, the master node runs a NameNode, while the rest of the (worker) nodes run DataNodes. The NameNode manages HDFS volumes, being queried by clients to carry out standard filesystem operations such as add, copy, move or delete files. The DataNodes do the actual data storage, receiving commands from the NameNode and performing operations on locally stored data. In order to increase performance and optimize network communications, HDFS implements rack awareness capabilities. This feature enables the distributed filesystem and the MapReduce environment to determine which worker nodes are connected to the same switch (i.e. in the same rack), distributing data and allocating tasks in such a way that communication takes place between nodes in the same rack without overloading the network core. HDFS and MapReduce automatically manage which pieces of a given file are stored on each node, allocating nodes for processing these data accordingly. When the JobTracker receives a new job, it first queries the DataNodes of worker nodes in a same rack, allocating a task slot if the the node has the necessary data stored locally. If no available slots are found in the rack, the JobTracker then allocates the first free slot it finds.
Hive: A petabyte scale database
On top of the HDFS distributed filesystem, Hadoop implements Hive, a distributed data warehouse solution. Actually, Hive started as an internal project at Facebook and has now evolved into a fully blown project of its own, being maintained by the Apache foundation. It provides ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) features and QL, a query language similar to standard SQL. Hive queries are translated into MapReduce jobs run on table data stored on HDFS volumes. This allows Hive to process queries that involve huge datasets with performances comparable to MapReduce jobs while providing the same abstraction level of a database. Its performance is most apparent when running queries over large datasets that do not change frequently. For example, Facebook relies on Hive to store user data, run statistical analysis, process logs and generate reports.
We have briefly overviewed the main features and components of Hadoop. Leveraging the power of cloud computing, many large companies rely on this project to perform their day to day data processing. This is yet another example of open source software being used to build large scale scalable applications while keeping costs low. However, we have only scratched the surface of the fascinating infrastructure behind Hadoop and its many possible uses. In future articles we will see how to set up a basic Hadoop cluster and how to use it for interesting applications such as log parsing and statistical analysis.

This Jacket is amazing. Great fit, great fabric. Angel wing works perfect. Very warm and highly water resistant.( In really cold temperatures you will need a midlayer. If you are looking for an alpine piece this is it.
The only problem I front water tight zipper is that the front zipper is a little bit stiff, I hope marmot correct this in the future but keep the rest of the jacket as it is .
Great investment.
on 5/17/12.
I was wondering about sizing (medium or large?). I am 5'11", 165 lbs, athletic build. I will be using it on alpine climbs. I would like to be able to both layer and wear with a T-shirt but I don't want it to be baggy on me. Suggestions?
on 6/1/12.
It sounds like the Large would be perfect.
You can also find a local store to try one on with your particular layering:
on 5/31/12.
How does the fit of the Kingpin compare to the ROM? I am 5' 7" and ordered a ROM in small and felt like the ROM was a little to baggy and want tighter fit.

Only down a lb. I wondered why, only until I went to the bathroom and saw that AF had arrived. Seems SUPER early, like I just had her, but IDK. I can't remember exactly when I had her last. Anyway...a pound is a pound! I'll take it.
Time to kick it into high gear if I want to reach my first goal. Six weeks left puts me at 2.08 lbs. per week (to lose). I CAN DO IT!!!

Your Loft My Acid
Death In Vegas
A DJ at the big beat melting pot the Sunday Social alongside the Chemical Brothers and Jon Carter, Richard Fearless formed a studio project named Death in Vegas to pump out a similar type of audio adrenaline. With the helping hand of Steve Hellier, Fearless spent two years working on material for an LP, then released Dead Elvis on Britain's Concrete label in early 1997. After it was licensed for American distribution, the single "Dirt" became a moderate MTV hit later that year. Fearless gained a new production partner (Tim Holmes) as well as a few celebrity guests (Iggy Pop, Bobby Gillespie) for 1999's The Contino Sessions. Paul Weller, Hope Sandoval, and Oasis' Liam Gallagher were on hand for 2002's Scorpio Rising. Gallagher and the duo hit it off and in 2004 it was announced that Death in Vegas would be producing the next Oasis album, but things didn't go as planned and the sessions were scrapped. Without any guest stars and very few vocal tracks, Death in Vegas' fourth album, Satan's Circus, arrived in 2004 in the U.K. and 2005 in the U.S. The mix CD Fabriclive.23 got its worldwide release in 2005. A move to New York City kept Fearless away from the Death in Vegas project until 2011, when the Your Loft My Acid single preceded the release of the album Trans-Love Energies. ~ John Bush, Rovi

Webcast: A Warm Up, Then Temps Hit 20s Next Week
By: Katie Thompson and Chris Sheridan
Updated: December 5, 2012
Temperatures should get into the upper 60s under mostly clear skies.
Another cool one tonight, but not quite as cool with temperatures getting down into the low to mid 40s.
Thursday will be much warmer as the southerly flow begins to warm us back to temperatures that will be 15 to 20 degrees above normal.
We should peak in the upper 70s under mostly sunny skies.
Friday will be another nice one with temperatures in the mid 70s.
Saturday should be a great start to the weekend with temperatures topping out in the low to mid 70s under mainly clear skies.
Sunday, we will begin to feel the effects of a very strong cold front, though temperatures should remain in the 60s under partly cloudy skies.
Overnight Sunday into Monday the cold front will start to really impact us with temperatures back into the mid 30s.
Monday, we are watching a very slight chance of some showers as the cold front passes through, depending on if there is enough moisture in the atmosphere, but temperatures will only peak in the mid 40s on Monday.
It will be a cold one Monday night with temperatures potentially dipping down into the 20s!
We should begin to slowly warm behind this.
