DEAF people could soon receive subtitles for live events via their smartphone, thanks to a new online system for crowdsourcing captions.
Professional stenographers can provide real-time captions, but they cost up to $200 per hour and cannot be hired at the last minute or for short sessions, while automatic speech recognition systems have high error rates. So computer scientist Jeffrey Bigham at the University of Rochester, New York, and colleagues have turned to teams of non-expert workers who can be hired on demand and for much lower cost.
When users boot up the app, called Scribe, it connects to a central server and recruits workers through Amazon's Mechanical Turk crowdsourcing service. Previous studies have shown that a willing group can be assembled within seconds. Each worker listens to a live audio stream from the user's phone and attempts to write subtitles as quickly as possible.
All workers hear the full audio stream but the volume of different sections is raised and lowered, encouraging each person to focus on transcribing a particular part. Scribe then combines the partial transcriptions with software normally used to align evolutionarily related sequences of DNA. Bigham modified the software to account for common typos based on the layout of a keyboard - for example, if someone types "fqll", it is more likely they mean "fall" than "fill", because "a" is nearer to "q" than "i" is. The software then chooses the words that a majority of the workers have typed.
In tests, Scribe was able to accurately capture 74 per cent of words spoken, compared with 88.5 per cent using professional transcription. "We hope in the next few months to get a version of this out to deaf and hard of hearing students to better understand how they want to use the captions," says Bigham, who will present the work at the Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in October. Tabitha Allum, chief executive of UK charity Stagetext, says Scribe could help meet an increasing need for captions. "As our population gets older and people become more deaf, the demand for accessible talks and lectures is only going to get bigger," she says.

Guided Tours - "Choose your Adventure!"
Choose your Adventure! - Anything from a couple of hours, to the whole day on the water! Please call for additional details or reservations!
Tour Descriptions:
"The Coronado" - From the put in at Algodones, the Rio Grande flows past interesting volcanic topography for a couple of miles, and features two small, Class I rapids. From Coronado Campground to Corrales the river begins to widen and slow, winding through several miles of majestic cottonwood Bosque and flowing past several beautiful homes.
"The Bosque" - As you proceed through the Corrales Bosque Preserve, the river braids into multiple channels, and there is no visible development (you'll rarely even hear traffic) until the take-out at the Alameda bridge.
The "Coronado" section of the Rio Grande features slightly faster water, while "The Bosque" reach provides a definite wetlands feel. Birds are plentiful throughout the entire stretch, and there's always a chance you'll see beaver, muskrat or coyote along the way.
"The Expedition" - If you're looking for a full day on the Rio, "The Expedition" tour provides an opportunity to float the full 20-miles of the Rio Grande, experiencing the river changing character from the narrower, quicker channel to the north, to the braided, wetlands-flavored bosque immediately north of Albuquerque proper.

Dear Editor,
As many of you know, Right to Life had a fund drive with the Baby Bottles for Mother's Day with 51 churches and one organization participating. This involves over a thousand Bottles. Abortion is usually kept quiet. Just because women smile doesn't mean there is joy and peace in their hearts. Many women carry the scars all their lives. We received a note in one of the Bottles this year that we believe the writer would like for us to pass on to you.
It said, "I've had an abortion before. It's the worst experience I have ever had, and I have to wake up every day with the regret of that choice. I was basically forced to make the decision because I was in an abusive relationship, but I am still accountable for it. It it weren't for God's mercy, love and forgiveness, I would be going to hell. If you have ever made this same terrible choice — seek God. He will forgive you if you ask Him. He will know your heart. Ladies out there scared and alone — seek God, seek a church for help. Don't make the terrible decision of having an abortion. You have to deal with it the rest of your life. God will forgive you — but you won't forget!"
Abortion is forever. We would be up in arms if someone was ripping the arms and legs from unborn kittens or puppies, but for almost 40 years we have allowed this to be done to unborn children. It is time to shut down these abortion mills. It is time to reaffirm life is sacred and is to be protected, not destroyed. We can stop this horrible practice. Pray for our country and vote only for candidates that respect life.
In His service,
Connie Gibbs

Over the Christmas holiday weekend, DUI arrests were down, but fatal collisions were up in the Bay Area from a year ago, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Read the full story here Web Link posted Thursday, December 27, 2012, 7:55 AM
Posted by Different Times, a resident of the Danville neighborhood, on Dec 28, 2012 at 6:46 pm
It has been exactly one year since a young woman from Pleasanton in her 20's riding on her second DUI (and behind the wheel of a car with a suspended license) crashed into the front of my Danville home and property. I came home in the dark evening with and with the help of Police sorted out what happened before I arrived home from work. She was hauled off in an ambulance, lived without injuries, and I was left to clean up the major damage sustained to my property. Luckily she did not kill herself --close to huge trees--nor my animals in the yard. Hopefully she has been remorseful and made an effort to seek help before she kills someone. Or the courts and legal system forced her to do so. Yesterday. (after expensive major reconstruction) I was with my dogs in the front of my yard where one year later I still occasionally find glass or a piece of plastic from her car embedded in the soil. A reminder that our youth and their parents seem certainly not as I was raised. I always thought I might have either this girls parents or herself stop by to engage-not so much in an apology (which would be welcomed after making last Christmas season a construction nightmare) but maybe just an "acknowledgement" of how alcohol related recklessness had an impact on someone else's life. I was raised by parents who probably would have dragged me to the site of the mess I had caused and would have had me involved in the cleanup for redemption. A different society

Hola todos! (Hello, everybody!)
Not too long ago, I received an email from my Spanish adviser in the form of PowerPoint that said something along the lines of: "Class registration is right around the corner!! Schedule an appointment with me so you won't end up like this guy!!" (There was a picture of a man that was jumping around yelling…I think it's really a picture of a film director that was yelling "ACTION!" or something, but we'll pretend like it's a student shouting in anguish due to procrastination.) And I thought to myself, "Yeeessss….I love this part." Call me a weirdo, but I really get a kick out of scheduling my classes. Anyway, I figure since it's about that time, I ought to make a blog about it. Here are some pointers when it comes to scheduling classes in college.
1. Don't assume that your eligible day to register is the same as the official registration date.
Like I said, I enjoy scheduling my classes, so last semester I had my schedule planned out and set up in my "enrollment shopping cart" (get it?) even before the official registration date. However…I am but a puny sophomore, therefore I don't get to register for my classes until a week or two after the upper classmen. (Did I mention we have about 33,788 students at UTA?) The day I got on my MyMav (kind of like UTA's Facebook for scheduling/financial aid/school announcements) to register, I found that I wasn't going to be taking astronomy this semester. There's no pointer for this one; there's nothing you can really do about that, just…just….yeah.
2. If you depend on financial aid, sign up for at least 15 hours.
Chances are, you'll be taking College Algebra with some old coot who teaches you approximately NOTHING the entire semester, and you don't want to ruin your GPA, so let's go ahead and just drop this class – OHH, wait. You only have 12 hours. Drop down to less than full-time, lose financial aid. If you start off with one more class worth 3 credits, you'll have room for error.
3. Look at the dates!
When you're getting ready to schedule your classes for the next semester: WATCH OUT FOR THE DATES! Maymesters, Wintermesters, and Summer Sessions are all mixed in with the next big semester's classes on the catalog. Keep an eye out! Otherwise, you'll find out 5 days after Christmas that the entire winter break, you've been enrolled in College Algebra and your final exam is the next day. It happens.
4. Avoid Overscheduling.
Just because you'll only be taking classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays doesn't mean you'll be studying all day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Especially if you have a job. No, you won't have any spare time, and YES. You WILL become the most lazy person in the world. You'll have 5 classes in one day. You'll have class from 8am to 7pm. You'll overlook the day of your birthday and have classes all day that day and won't be able to do anything for your birthday besides convince your Spanish class to sing "Feliz cumpleaños" to you as a practice in pronunciation. Nope, not even free pancakes at IHop. Because that ends at 10pm and you bombed your last exam in Statistics, so you've got to do corrections so you can get those 5 extra points to get your grade up to an F+. *sigh*…
5. Schedule with friends.
Don't try and fly solo, man! Get some of your friends to take a class with you. That way, when your birthday comes around, you can have someone to copy notes from. Trust me, it's genius.
Is today my birthday? Yes. Did I have class all day? Yes, and still one more to go. Did all of the other things talked about in this entry happen to me? ….We won't go there.
Razzle dazzle, man. Razzle dazzle.

Happy 40th Birthday!
PHYTO, the world's first botanical hair line is celebrating two major milestones this year: it is its 20th year in the Untied States and its 40th anniversary world-wide! The line was started in Paris by botany guru Patrick Ales, while creating concoctions of plant ingredients to treat hair.
We wanted to aknowledge this brand because it is one of the more unique lines of hair care products that we carry. Phyto (actually pronounced "fee-toe") is Greek for "relating to or derived from plants or botany." Every single product from the haircare line is an exclusive formula, created with plant-derived ingredients, many of which are also used in homeopathy and herbal alternative medicines.
In addition to being used in many prestigious salons world wide, including the famous Ted Gibson salon, in 2006, PHYTO opened its very own "PHYTO Universe" in New York City, a botanical spa oasis with an emphasis on healthy hair. Click here to get an online tour! Style.com calls the salon, "more of a hair spa than a hair salon."

Well it's here...Happy New Year!
Best wishes from all of us at Toojays for a great 2012.
But what will 'great' mean for you? Whether its winning the Olympics? or losing the spare type.. are you planning a change? Are you making any resolutions?
Recent surveys show that those who make resolutions are more likely to be successful in what they do.
But is that really such a surprise? Surely it's just about proper planning and olympian resolve isn't it?
Well, you'd think...but at the slightesy hurdle (sorry enough now with the Olympics) so many resolutions fall by the wayside.
This often happens because people don't give enough thought to the 'what if' hurdles. They don't plan to deal with the barriers. They don't have a contingency...a Plan B.
Whether it's keeping on track with your promises to yourself or dealing with business change, Project and Change Management disciplines work.
Once you have a plan..road test it. Think of as many 'what if's' as you can - and come up with a plan to deal with them!
A good technique, from our Change Management Course, is the ARTPM strategy. Which strategy would work best for dealing with the issue or 'what if'?
A void it...
R educe it..
T ransfer it...
P rotect (against) it
M itigate (after it's happened) what can you do?
If you really want to make those resolutions stick...give yourself a fighting chance by having a contingency strategy!
Good luck!

About Heyward Howkins
Paying tribute to his family's long and storied history, Heyward takes his name from his five-times grandfather Thomas Heyward (dubbed "The Singing Signer"), founding father and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Other members of the Heyward family are called out in the song Spanish Moss, featuring the lyrics, "Brimmed hats on babes in waiting / Magnolia is housing / Heywards on cotton couches." References to Savannah cotton magnate Jacob Guerard Heyward are contrasted with his middle-class Philadelphia existence, which Heyward sings about with love and empathy, "My city's cold and naked / Who'll wrap an arm around it?

Missing [DVD]
Director : Costa-Gavras
Screenplay : Costa-Gavras & Donald Stewart (based on the book The Execution of Charles Horman An American Sacrifice by Thomas Hauser)
MPAA Rating : PG
Year of Release : 1982
Stars : Jack Lemmon (Ed Horman), Sissy Spacek (Beth Horman), Melanie Mayron (Terry Simon), John Shea (Charlie Horman), Charles Cioffi (Capt. Ray Tower), David Clennon (Consul Phil Putnam), Richard Venture (U.S. Ambassador), Jerry Hardin (Col. Sean Patrick), Richard Bradford (Andrew Babcock), Joe Regalbuto (Frank Teruggi), Keith Szarabajka (David Holloway), John Doolittle (David McGeary), Janice Rule (Kate Newman)
Costa-Gavras's Missing has gone from being speculative to definitive. It is a rare based-on-true-events political thriller whose conjectures about then-mysterious cover-ups and governmental deception have since been vindicated. At the time Missing was released, it was a center of controversy, to the extent that members of the U.S. State Department on whom characters in the film were based filed a lawsuit claiming that they had been libeled (it was later dismissed). Coming out two years into the Reagan era made the film that much more attention-grabbing, as the Great Communicator's "Morning in America" ethos was well on its way to dulling the collective memories of Watergate, Vietnam, and all the other cloudy travails of the 1970s. What an odd time for Costa-Gavras, one of the most renowned of leftist European political filmmakers, to make his American debut.
And what a debut it was. Few studio-produced films with A-list stars cause the U.S. State Department to write three-page written responses, but that is precisely what happened two days before Missing debuted in theaters. Given his topical proclivities and uncanny ability to mix the emotional and the political, the Greek-born Costa-Gavras was particularly well-suited to the material, and he made the most of it. The themes were old hat for him, particularly the structuring narrative arc of a conservative character having his eyes opened to the realities of the world in which he lives, but in Missing he hones them to a sharp point with which he can jab the complacent from within.
Although the name of the country is never explicitly mentioned by any character in the film, Missing takes place in Chile during the 1973 coup led by the Chilean military against the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende. What was not known at the time, and has since come out via declassified documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, is that the U.S. government was not only deeply involved in the coup, but helped plan and execute it. Caught up in the coup were thousands of people with leftist sensibilities, many of whom were rounded up and interned in Chile's National Stadium. Many of them were tortured, and roughly 750 of them were summarily executed without any kind of trial. Among those were two Americans, and driving questions in Missing is how much the U.S. government knew about the deaths of the citizens they were supposed to be protecting.
The reason Costa-Gavras's films are so affecting, and why those filmmakers and critics of a more pronounced political strip tend to dismiss his work, is because he evokes his larger themes through conventional narrative frameworks. He evokes global pain through the stories of individual characters, an approach that always carries the risk of hiding the many behind the few. Yet, in Missing it works because Costa-Gavras never lets us forget the bigger picture and uses his small-scale mystery as a means of both evoking more horrifying truths that arguably evade representation (how else do you cinematically convey hundreds of senseless murders outside of simply showing them?) and suggesting that such events are always a possibility. The underlying theme of every Costa-Gavras film can be summarized as "Be ever vigilant."
He masterfully evokes the violence, chaos, and fear of a military coup even as he avoids direct representation of killing and torture. He constantly keeps the presence of the coup at the edges of the frame--bodies littering the streets, military vehicles driving in the background, loudspeakers booming warnings about the impending curfew. When the violence of the coup does take center stage, most notably in a harrowing sequence that takes place in a make-shift morgue littered with hundreds of unclaimed bodies and a surreal shot of a beautiful white horse galloping down a deserted street with a military vehicle seemingly pursuing it, the film takes on the liquid qualities of a nightmare.
The main character in Missing is Ed Horman (Jack Lemmon), a deeply conservative and self-assured New York businessman who travels to Chile when his son, Charlie (John Shea), disappears during the coup. In traveling so far to find him, it is clear that Ed loves his son, but he doesn't understand him and in many ways doesn't respect him. Ed's ingrained conservatism and political tunnel vision make it impossible for him to grasp the significance of Charlie's life abroad, working as a translator for a leftwing newspaper and dreaming of writing children's books. It seems silly and fatuous to Ed, and at his worst he blames Charlie for his own disappearance, suggesting that, had he lived right (like his father), none of this would have happened.
Charlie, of course, is not present to bear witness to his father's anger and frustration, so it is directed primarily at Beth (Sissy Spacek), Charlie's wife who shares her husband's sensibilities and refuses to believe that the U.S. officials with whom they are working don't know anything about what has happened. To Ed, her fears are just outdated anti-American paranoia, but as the story progresses and he and Beth begin to dig up their own facts that contradict the official statements being given to them by various ambassadors and military men, a transformation takes place. Ed is not so much radicalized as he is awoken to the reality that his own government has interests that do not always align with the protection of individuals. When we first meet him, Ed sees "America" and "Americans" as the same thing and assumes that his government shares that view, but by the end of the film he comes to realize that the former is an abstraction that must be protected at all costs, even if that means the killing of some of the latter.
In adapting Thomas Hauser's book The Execution of Charles Horman, Costa-Gavras and coscreenwriters Donald Stewart and John Nichols (the latter of whom was uncredited) keep their primary focus on Ed's journey through the surreal, bureaucratic nightmare woven by U.S. and Chilean officials that leads to his political awakening, but they also flashback at various points to show Charlie before his disappearance. These sequences are usually motivated by various interviews, and the unreliability of memory is literalized at one point when Charlie's arrest is envisioned several different ways (once with a military truck, once with a civilian truck). Yet, the difficulty of piecing together past events from fragments does not destabilize Costa-Gavras's underlying emphasis on the unwavering nature of truth. It's out there, the film contends, even as multiple forces work to hide and subvert it. Thus, Missing is a powerful testament to the perseverance of those who seek truth, and its vindication so many years later has only intensified its effect.
Missing Criterion Collection Two-Disc DVD Set | |
Aspect Ratio | 1.85:1 |

Distributor | The Criterion Collection |
Release Date | October 21, 2008 |
Criterion's new high-definition transfer for Missing was made from a 35mm interpositive and digitally restored, resulting in an excellent presentation (the film has been available on DVD for several years, but I do not know how that transfer compares). The film has a fairly muted color palette dominated by the grays and browns of Mexico City standing in for Santiago, Chile, and the general look of the film is slightly soft, which is typical of films of its era. You can see some definite film grain, especially in the darker scenes, but it all looks good. The monaural soundtrack was transferred at 24-bit from a 35mm magnetic track and digitally restored, and while it is understandably limited, it gets the job done. | |
While the first disc of this two-disc set is given to the film and the original theatrical trailer, the second disc includes a strong set of supplements that help to contextualize this important film cinematically, politically, and historically. The most fascinating of the supplements is "Pursing Truth," a 20-minute featurette in which Peter Kornbluh, director of the National Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project at the George Washington University, takes us through the various government documents that have been declassified in the years following Missing's release and effectively vindicate its speculations. To get a sense of Costa-Gavras's role in making the film, there are two video interviews with the director, one that was recorded for a news program when the film was released in 1982 and a longer interview conducted in 2006 for the film's French DVD release (together the two interviews runs just over half an hour). The longer interview is extremely informative and also includes a lot of great behind-the-scenes photographs from the production. There is also a half-hour interview with Joyce Horman (Charles Horman's wife), who talks at length about her actual experiences and her reactions to Missing. The film's unlikely road to production is well covered in "Producing Missing," an 18-minute featurette that includes interviews with producers Edward and Mildred Lewis and Sean Daniel and writer Thomas Hauser. In addition to all that, there is a 19-minute French television interview with Costa-Gavras, Jack Lemmon, Ed Horman, Joyce Horman, and Terry Simon from the 1982 Cannes Film Festival and 20 minutes of footage from an event sponsored by the Charles Horman Truth Project in 2002 to recognize the effect Missing has had on human rights awareness (the highlights include host Gabriel Byrne, Costa-Gavras, Joyce Horman, and actors Sissy Spacek, John Shea, and Melanie Mayron, among others). |

Immunotherapy has the potential to treat almost any type of cancer. Learn how we are making this a reality for more patients sooner.
Cancer patients, donors, scientists, and other supporters all stand behind the Cancer Research Institute. Read their stories and learn about what motivates each of us to keep fighting against cancer.
Show your support for CRI and cancer immunotherapy research by wearing white every Friday throughout June, attending free webinars, or shopping at 1-800-FLOWERS.COM.
We gratefully accept donations made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your gift will be acknowledged to whomever you specify.
Numerous challenges can derail progress in finding new immune-based cancer treatments. We're solving some of the biggest challenges, keeping promising new immunotherapies on the fast track to patients.
Cancer patients are now beginning to benefit from advances in cancer immunotherapy. Watch this story of hope and survival, and be inspired to help us conquer cancer.
Browse our directory of scientific leaders who volunteer their time and expertise to help ensure that we fund the most innovative and promising research possible.
Clinical Accelerator is a next-generation charitable model designed to maximize donor impact:
Click image to vlew full size
Cancer Research Institute and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research have built a global network of top scientists and clinicians who collaborate on immunotherapy research. Called the CVC, this prestigious team of experts from the U.S., Europe, Japan, and Australia identifies promising combinations of treatments that they wish to study and ultimately bring to people living with cancer.
CRI and the Ludwig Institute then negotiate with biotech and pharma companies for the rights to include these priority immunotherapies in clinical trials. In exchange for agreeing to supply their drugs, biopharma partners gain access to valuable nonprofit funding, clinical management resources, and scientific expertise, all of which can significantly benefit their drug development efforts. By building access to a "menu" of top agents from different companies, CRI and Ludwig are able to initiate studies of complementary drugs, even if they are owned by different parties, helping researchers and cancer patients to gain access to state-of-the-art therapies that otherwise might not be available.
CRI and the Ludwig Institute then provide all the resources necessary for CVC researchers to launch clinical trials, including funding from CRI's nonprofit venture capital fund and Ludwig's experienced clinical trials management resources.
As supported immunotherapies become successful, biotech and pharma partners make milestone payments back to CRI's venture fund, enabling it to support future clinical trials led by the CVC so that the innovative model can continue.
Best of all, the model is already up and running and attracting world-class partners like MedImmune/AstraZeneca. By bringing together the best resources from both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors, cancer patients gain access to new life-saving treatments sooner.
It Connects. Foster collaboration and confidential discussion among top for-profit and nonprofit researchers with overlapping expertise, but that otherwise would be unlikely to collaborate and share insights.
It De-Risks. Employ nonprofit financial and clinical resources to de-risk potentially transformative immunotherapy studies that otherwise would not be pursued.
It Combines. Enable potentially synergistic drugs owned by disparate companies to be evaluated clinically, independent of any commercial transaction between the parties.
It Discovers. Empowering leading tumor immunologists to ask critical scientific questions in the clinical setting, with reagents academics normally would be unable to access.

By: Scott Cole
The more proactive you are, the more powerful you become, and the more your mind clears away the negative dialogue. By feeding yourself health (activity, organic real food 4-6 times/day…for a healthy meal plan and true organic movement, try Scott's Discover Tai Chi for Weight Loss DVD) your choices of unhealthy (lethargy, boxed nutrient-less foods, meal-skipping) will quickly disappear.
If you are frantically looking for a quick-fix set of moves or the perfect diet, then you are really not in your truth, definitely not in your power, and you are seeking, searching, rather than tuning in to what is or what can be---like the song "looking for love in all the wrong places," you are looking for health in all the wrong places, and your journey needs to begin with going inside to see what is going on psychologically with you. (For a confidence booster, try Scott's Tangerine Green guided meditation)
Your body responds to what you think and what you do, and on that multidimensional note, that harmonious body/mind chord, I open the door for you to let go of media images, self-imposed pressures, and quick-fix panic-ridden solutions. Let go, be active, eat well and often, and relax into your true power---and keep me posted! About Scott Cole Go to About Scott Cole Go to More Articles About Women's Health 081506

I was front and center to see radiohead, perfect way to see Radiohead for the first time, I'll be front and center to see the red hot chilli peppers too, and was curious to know who else will be up there with me
I was front and center to see radiohead, perfect way to see Radiohead for the first time, I'll be front and center to see the red hot chilli peppers too, and was curious to know who else will be up there with me
haha, see you there
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds,Grinderman, and Blur hopefully.
it depends on the set times, there's no artists that i 100% have to be close to the front for like Radiohead or Mangum last year, but i'd like to be as close as possible for Sigur Ros, Grizzly Bear, J5, and James Blake
Coachella 2012-2013
This is the first year I'm not going to try and barricade it for anyone because I am old.
Sigur Rós and Modest Mouse hopefully

last time I went front and center Main Stage was during an incredibly hot early afternoon and the people didn't even seem interested in whatever band was playing. Just a hornet's nest of drug crazed individuals. They were welcoming, mind, but it was just fuckin weird.
Hopefully Blur and the Stone Roses. Would be ideal if they could put something decent on right before SR so I didn't have to sit through Jurassic 5 or YYYs just to get a decent spot. Last year I was a few people from the rail for Pulp. Got there during Jimmy Cliff who was rad, then watched the Arctic Monkeys who I would've seen anyway.
Modest Mouse. and then Phoenix! Sunday...eh...I dunno lol
i'd much rather be off to the sides laying on the grass for sigur ros than packed like sardines near the front. i just find it way too distracting. then again the lack of "real" headliners this year might mean things wont be quite as packed up there

I never get that close for the headliners but that will be changing this year for Blur. I also plan on getting up front for Jake Bugg.
My favorite spot is right by the soundboard. They put it there for a reason.
it was so worth it for me to see radiohead, I had to go through a mosh pit to get second row dead center!! it was awesome and ill do it again haha, most the bands befor them were pretty awesome so I didn't mind roughing it once in a while, after all coachella is only once a year
Daft Punk

Caroling in the Center (video)
An impromptu idea resulted in three dozen carolers singing and enjoying the season.
It was nearing 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15 and there was only Amanda Rettig, her son and mother-in-law standing beside the Christmas tree in Belmont Center.
But soon came a family from Newton, then some from Belmont. A steady number of folks, mostly families with small children in strollers or riding on the shoulders of their parents arrived.
Finally, more than two dozen – with more on the way – Rettig, who organized the event on-line and through word of mouth, welcomed everyone to the first ... by the way, what is it being called?
"This isn't a formal event. It's a gathering to sing carols," said the Belmont resident who use to go caroling as a child in her hometown in Connecticut, commenting as her husband and other child arrived with her father-in-law in tow.
And soon with the help of a very good singer – who volunteered to get each song started – this merry bunch of carolers began singing from hand outs, iPads and smart phones "Rudolph, the Red-Nose Reindeer."
Each of the 13 or so Christmas songs were limited to two verses for the sake of small children's attention spans. But the enthusiasm was there through renditions of "We Three Kings," "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" and especially "Feliz Navidad."
It took about a half hour to run through the "play list" before the event ended with people vowing to come again.
"I will certainly be back next year. This was a great success. Everyone had fun and maybe we can start a tradition in Belmont," said Rettig.
10:24 am on Thursday, December 20, 2012
This is so wonderful! I love caroling and hope we see more of it during the holidays. It brings fond memories of childhood Christmases.
Franklin Tucker
2:06 am on Friday, December 21, 2012
I understand a group of recent Belmont High School graduates from the past five years may be caroling in the Center on Saturday night around 6-ish. I'll give you more information as it comes in.
