The Red Desert Ramblers play Bluegrass, Classic Country and Swing music blending harmonies with smoking instrumental breaks. The Salt Lake Tribune says "when it comes to locally produced bluegrass bands, it's hard to do better." They have been honored by the International Bluegrass Music Association by being the first Utah Band (and Sharon is the first hammered dulcimer player) to EVER be hired for an IBMA performance and were the only bluegrass band featured at the Mountain West Conference of the Arts. Members have won several awards including Sharon as best Utah dulcimer player and Rick Martinez as best banjo player for IAMA. They are a regional band with national recognition and members hail from Salt Lake, and Summit counties representing the best of Utah.

text: The digital detective: Mikko Hypponen's war on malware is escalating 19 March 12 by Greg Williams Tweet Aorta This article was taken from the April 2012 issue of Wired magazine. Be the first to read Wired's articles in print before they're posted online, and get your hands on loads of additional content by subscribing online.One morning in December 2011 Mikko Hypponen, the chief security research officer at F-Secure, an anti-virus software company, scrolls down the screen of his laptop examining the latest of the 200,000 malware files to arrive in his office every day in Helsinki. As he does so, the data shifts downwards, the most recent files at the top. "This sample, PA3control.exe, arrived eight minutes ago," he says. "It's infected with a virus we're aware of, which means we don't have to do anything. We already know what it is."Hypponen is typing hard in short bursts. He is dressed in black except for a mustard-coloured shirt. His hair is pulled into a blond ponytail and he wears small, round spectacles. "Let's look at this file deeper," Hypponen says, clicking on another data point. "So what do we know? First of all, it's very small. It's two kilobytes, which is suspicious. We look at the file type... It's a Windows executable." An executable is a file in a format that the computer can accomplish itself, intended not to be read by humans. "When did we get it? Where did we get it? What's the file hash? [A hash is a number calculated from the contents of a file, uniquely identifying that file from any other files.] How many times have we received it? What do we know about its structure? How many of our users have executed this file in the past week, or ever?"Hypponen pulls up another window. "What I'm looking at is the report for this file," he says. "It takes two or three minutes to generate, but I'm thinking that this file might not do anything interesting because it's too small. What is more likely is that it's corrupted. It looks suspicious because the header, the part of an executable that reveals what's in the file, is missing, so it doesn't look right. It's likely that it will just crash."Hypponen is right: when the file is executed, it doesn't even run. He looks down the list of data points before him. Some are in red, meaning that they haven't been analysed yet. Further down the screen, the digits turn green: they have been processed.As at every security company across the world, the Malware Sample Management System (MSMS) at F-Secure demonstrates a steady, and growing, onslaught of toxic binary fizzing through the internet, looking for vulnerabilities. Today, criminals are producing malware on an industrial scale. Security company McAfee identified six million unique malware samples in the second quarter of 2011 alone. And each sample means countless files containing the original virus loose online. Malware --Trojans, worms, spyware, backdoors, fake antivirus software, rootkits and others -- is developed and sold to third parties, who will alter the source code for their own illegal purposes.Hypponen checks another data point: his team claim to have logged 46,655 unique pieces of malware in just the past 24 hours.***Eleven months earlier, late in January 2011, Hypponen had found himself wandering down a dusty street in Lahore, the second-largest city in Pakistan. Hypponen, 42, is often on the road talking to government agencies and the companies he helps to protect -- including AT&T, Vodafone and Orange -- but this was his first trip to Pakistan. On a side street sandwiched between the University of the Punjab and a park, he stepped from the sunshine into a boxy, concrete building with large metal doors and air-conditioning units poking from the walls. He found himself in the offices of Brain, a telecommunications company owned, in part, by two brothers, Amjad and Basit Farooq Alvi.Hypponen's journey was prompted by events that had occurred nearly a quarter of a century before, when, in late 1986, some users of IBM PCs and compatibles running PC-DOS or IBM-DOS operating systems inserted floppy disks containing software into their machines and received the following message on their screens:Welcome to the Dungeon (c) 1986 Basit & Amjad (pvt) Ltd. BRAIN COMPUTER SERVICES 730 NIZAB BLOCK ALLAMA IQBAL TOWN LAHORE-PAKISTAN PHONE :430791,443248What those PC users could not have known was that they were among the first to experience something that, according to security firm Symantec, now forms a significant part of the $338 billion (£213 billion) a year cost to the global economy. Their computers were infected with a virus. For Hypponen, the trip was a pilgrimage. Having spent most of his life combating malware, he had come to meet the two men credited with creating its patient zero.The Alvi brothers, Basit and Amjad, don't look like archetypical hackers -- they're middle-aged men in suits with combed hair and moustaches who run a successful telco business; among other things, they have a licence to lay fibre-optic cable. And, unlike malware peddlars -- whom the security industry categorises as hacktivists, nation states and (by far the largest) criminal gangs -- they weren't trying to harm those they infected.In 1984 the brothers were discussing the vulnerability of DOS. They created a piece of software which altered the instructions that a computer executes on startup when a disk is inserted, replicating the same message on every disk it infected. It was harmless, and the purpose, the brothers say, was to protect their own software from piracy. Modern malware is largely distributed on the internet but, in the mid 80s, the only way for a virus to travel was to be installed on a disk and inserted in a drive. The brothers left their phone number so that legitimate users could be debugged. They wanted to understand how the virus might spread -- and were staggered when the first call they got was from Miami University."I'm not sure how it went out all [that] way," Amjad says. "I was worried that I will be in trouble. I contacted my lawyer and froze the first piece of code, so if someone modified it, it should not be blamed on me."Hypponen handed the brothers a floppy disk. It was a copy of the original virus, one of millions of malware samples that he keeps in his laboratory. He says his trip to Lahore was inspired by a fascination with malware, and he wanted to bring the virus home.In the nearly 20 years since he started disassembling malware, Hypponen has become a prominent face in the anti-virus industry. He took down the network used by the Sobig.F worm in May 2003, and was the first to warn of the Sasser worm a year later. In 2007, he named the Storm botnet. The F-Secure blog, which was started on January 30, 2004 -- when Hypponen posted an entry on the Mydoom worm -- is one of the most widely read in the business. In 2010, Hypponen gave briefings on what has become the world's most devastating worm, Conficker. He has consulted for law-enforcement organisations in Europe, Asia and the US, and spoken at NATO's Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence. He was among Foreign Policy's 100 Top Global Thinkers of 2011. In 2007 PC World named him one of the 50 most important people on the web.Hypponen points out that only ten years ago the enemy was mostly mischievous teenagers. That changed on May 8, 2003, with Fizzer -- the first virus designed solely to make money. Fizzer was a worm. A virus needs human action to infect a computer -- clicking an attachment, say -- but a worm spreads itself and seeks to avoid detection.It sent itself to all the contacts in the computer's Windows Address Book. This allowed the attacker to steal passwords and other data. When attacked by antivirus programs it tried to terminate them. Hypponen first noticed Fizzer on an intentionally infected test system that experienced a spike in email traffic. "Instead of stealing information, [the criminals] stole the resource," he says. This marked the creation of botnets -- groups of infected computers that can be controlled remotely. Suddenly, PCs across the world were in the hands of crooks. "Conficker has more processing power than any university," says Hypponen. "Criminals own the largest supercomputer on the planet."

Introducing Portugal
While it's true that Portugal is no longer the Iberian Peninsula's best-kept secret, it's fairly easy to escape the crowds. Even at the busiest resorts in the Algarve, it only takes a short bus ride or a walk across countryside to reveal rarely visited places that still offer the feeling of discovery - a sentiment close to the Portuguese soul. Portugal has an old-fashioned charm, with medieval castles and picture-perfect villages scattered over meandering coastlines and flower-covered hillsides. From the ancient university town of Coimbra to Lord Byron's favourite Portuguese haunt, Sintra, the country's proud history can be felt everywhere.
Sun-kissed beaches like Cascais and Sagres offer enticements of a more hedonistic sort. Indeed, the dramatic, end-of-the-world cliffs, wild dune-covered beaches, protected coves and long, sandy islands of Portugal's coastline have long enchanted visitors and locals alike. Meanwhile, the country's capital, Lisbon, and its northern rival, Porto, are magical places for the wanderer, with riverside views, cobblestone streets and rattling trams framed by looming cathedrals.
Ready to go?
These tours & activities make it easy:
- Explore Portugal's wine region on foot
- Take a day trip from Sintra to Lisbon
- Discover Northern Portugal on a 6-day tour from Lisbon
- Experience the best of Portugal & Spain in 2 weeks

Merkel Vs. Wall- A Familiar Foe
By: Eric Boynton
Updated: November 28, 2012
"We've actually played Wall every year, and sometimes twice a year. We've met them in the playoffs before. So, we've looked at what worked for us last time, and things that didn't work so well for us.Tried to adjust those things, and hopefully have a good plan for Friday night," said Head Coach Kieth Mullins.
"It just makes us want to work harder. It gives us more drive because we know we've seen them in the past. We know we want to beat them now like they have before. It's not necessarily about revenge, but it's about wanting to strive and go farther," said Jonathan Cuellar.
"It's the second season now. It doesn't matter who you played before or what your record is, if you've played those guys before or if you beat those guys before. They've certainly gotten better as a team since eight weeks ago. We've feel like we've gotten better in a lot of areas," said Mullins.
Both Wall and Merkel appear to be playing their best football when it counts. Regardless one of their seasons will end when the two meet Friday night.

6. | braves | ||
a NL entity that, despite all its World Series appearances, could only win ONE (and that was really by luck, in '95 against the Indians). they haven't even made it to the fall classic in over 5 years, and the last time they did, in '99, were demolished by the Yankees in four straight.
their owner thinks he is some sort of demigod (even naming the team's home field and the adjacent street after him), but in reality is a mindless coke/crack addict who only got rich from his daddy's inheritance. hell, he couldn't even keep "Hanoi Jane" Fonda by his side for very long. meanwhile, Bobby Cox is still with them, either because he thinks he's the pope, and will hang on to the job until he croaks, or perhaps because no one else would want to manage this miserable excuse for a MLB franchise. all too often,fans of this utterly pathetic "team" will slag other teams and their fans, notably the Mets and Marlins, but let's look at some numbers, shall we? Marlins' World Series appearances: 2 " " championships: 2 that's a 1.000 percentage! a perfect record! Met's World Series appearances: 4 " " championships: 2 a .500 pecentage still, not bad! and now the braves..... World Series appearances: 5 " " championship: ONE for a percentage of .200!! and it will only get get lower as the years go on.... in short, braves suck ass. they will never win another championship...MAYBE a pennant, but never again a World Series.
enough said. |
1. | braves | ||
The best baseball team since 1991, in which they went from worst to first. They also have 14 straight pennants, in which they won the national league pennant 5 times, and a world series in 1995. and the best manager in the game Bobby Cox. One thing that makes them better than other teams is that they raise their players through their farm system unlike New York teams. Mets fans are
often jealous because the braves kick their asses every year, so they come into turner field chanting: "let's go mets!" That's possibly the gayest cheer in sports. If you want to know how much the mets suck, they just lost the NL east pennant even though they were 7 games in front with 17 to go at one point. Dude, what's with all these fat mets fans in our stadium. This is Atlanta, not New York. Maybe they'll shut up after the Braves win...
2. | Braves | ||
The best baseball team of them all. The Braves just won the World Series!
3. | Braves | ||
By far the best baseball team ever! The Braves Rule. Bobby Cox is the best Manager in the game! The Braves are going to win the World Series.
4. | braves | ||
The most intellectual Counter-Forces Player to ever participate in competitive leagues. His intelligence, and Counter-Strike ability makes him a sure stand out in the CALim community. Braves is the smartest mofo in CS
5. | braves | ||
an evil team that beats the florida marlins most of the time, but next year will be different damned braves beat the marlins again, i hope bobby cox chokes on a preatsel like george bush did.
7. | Braves | ||
Probably the Worst team in the South , oh sorry correction absolutley no doubt the worst team in the south. Booby Cox is probably the worst manager is professional baseball. Players stink to high hell as well. Everyone here worships chipper jones who is by far the most washed-up player in baseball. Everyone here is a Braves fan but they suck. Its as almost as bad as being a Brewers fan but not quite. I take my son to the games to see the other teams that are good play, and I tell him not to look at the braves up to bat it might effect his over-all ability to play ball cuz sucking that bad can rub off on people like Mr. Turner what a Jack-ass. Braves fan: Gee golly look at them there braves loooking good I say
Me: Wow those braves suck ass just like last year country bumpkin |

NEW! Elephant Experience Area at Busch Gardens
The new Elephant Interaction Area at Busch Gardens Tampa is many things and its difficult to describe in a few short sentences. Really, its designed to bring people and elephants together in a fun and enlightening environment and it just opened recently!
Its located adjacent to the guest sidewalk and across from the site of our new state-of-the-art zoo hospital (now under construction on the site of the old Nairobi rhino display).
The area features a beautifully-landscaped, raised deck for enhanced viewing of the elephant habitat, plus a shaded, ground-level plaza that runs up to an innovative husbandry gate.
At the gate, our Elephant team has everything they need to do blood-draws, footwork, and other basic husbandry procedures that heretofore had to be done off-display just outside Pachyderm Palace.
This versatile gate area also allows the animal care specialist team to maintain strong bonds with the elephants, by engaging in relationship and play interactions, to the delight of the elephants and the enchantment of our guests. Weve always talked about the importance of play and close, trusting relationships, but we can now better demonstrate these in an intimate setting.
Although the major advantage of the new area is getting new and closer access to the elephants and their keepers, audio/visual elements will also contribute to messaging and interaction with guests.
In addition to a crystal clear new audio system for trainers, a 53 flat-panel display will feature video images from three sources: a fixed camera covering most of the elephant habitat and much of the rhino rally hoofstock area, a hand-held video camera that will permit us to show close-up details of husbandry procedures, and a flash-video component that allows us to loop video, such as our Saving a Species Elephants episode, training demonstrations, and elephant news headlines from around the globe.
Another addition is a staircase for the Elephant team that will provide them with improved access to the elephant exhibit and guest areas. Graphics will soon be added that spotlight the engaging and unique personality traits of our five Asian elephants.
In addition to being open three hours per day or more for guests, the Elephant Interaction Area also has the potential to host private tours and programs, and can also be utilized for behavioral research, another important component of our elephant program

If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Bang & Olufsen today at the International Consumer Electronic Show showcased a unique in-wall subwoofer and speaker design that'll have your guests guessing about their true identities. The integrated speaker solution is comprised of two-way active speakers (BeoLab 15), an active subwoofer (BeoLab 16) and a rack-ready amplifier (Amplifier 1)-all created specifically for in-wall or in-ceiling placement.
The design of the BeoLab 15 speaker is distinct but discreet, with a motorized tilt function that directs audio where you want it. Turn on the system, and the speaker automatically tilts out to pre-set angles (up to 45 degrees from the original flush position) to direct the sound for optimal listening. Turn off the system, and BeoLab 15 tilts back to flush position.
BeoLab 15 is a closed-cabinet, two-way active speaker with a ¾" tweeter and a 3" midrange. Each driver in the system's active speakers is powered by its own amplifier.
"This active built-in sound solution was conceived for installations where people want great sound without having to find room for freestanding speakers," explains Bang & Olufsen product manager, Michael Jensen. "The combination of two speakers and a subwoofer – all built-in, all with drivers powered by separate amps – deliver a premium sound experience throughout the room. Additionally, the motorized tilt adds a touch of practical magic to enhance the listening experience."
The BeoLab 16 active subwoofer is designed in the same circular shape as the speakers, and comprises two pairs of 4" woofers separate sealed cabinets.
Rounding out the system is Amplifier 1, which contains six separate amplifiers. Two Class D units rated at 2 x 150 watts power up the subwoofer. Each BeoLab 15 gets 150 watts for the midrange, and 45 watts for the tweeter.
The new BeoLab 15, BeoLab 16 and Amplifier 1 sound solution is available at selected Bang & Olufsen stores from January 2013. Priced at $4595 for the entire solution – pair of BeoLab 15 speakers, BeoLab 16 and the Amplifier 1.

Notes There are some gigs where, to borrow a phrase, when it all comes together it is as if the angels descend from heaven on their silver clouds and play their golden trumpets, and there are others where such heavenly ambitions remain elusively out of reach. The band sound tired and irritable on the 12th date of their last tour together. An incomplete LTIApt2 is marred by the band not being able to hear each other properly resulting in different players being left on the wrong side of the beat, and the violin irksomely flat. Lament doesnt fare much better with Crosss tron being out of tune and other missed cues abounding in a somewhat dashed-off Exiles. Although improvisations are a normally a speciality of this incarnation, the main one between Exiles and The Night Watch somehow never quite catches fire. Its driven by a restless Bruford trying out a series of speculative beats, as though taking the temperature of the band. With Cross developing abstract clouds on the electric piano and Fripp sounding strident notes, its not until around 3.00 minutes before they settle on a fast-moving direction. Yet even at this juncture theres a degree of diffidence evident and none of the flying sparks more usually associated with this band. Live versions of Starless are enough of a rarity to make each of them somewhat special. Wettons vocals on Starless come at a point when the words had yet to be pinned down and so hes heard to what amounts scatting his way through the verses. Fripp and the bass / electric piano sections struggle to stay on target during Brufords percussive excursions, and as Starless concludes, it sounds more of a stumble than a dramatic resolution. This soundboard tape is missing the set-finishing Schizoid Man but perhaps thats a good thing given the below-par performance overall?

not as bad as they say, Sun., Aug 5, 2012 Written by crimson_king22
i went ahead and downloaded this concert, despite what others have said about it.
its not as bad as they have made it out to be.
With the exception of Improv #2, which is horribly scattered and leads absolutely nowhere [it sounds as though they arent listening to each other at all], the mix isnt all that bad, and the rest of the tracks are your usual standard fare for concerts in June 1974. I was hoping that the improv, at some 8 and a half minutes long, would have some redeeming value, but.....it doesnt.
one request: the next one for release should be the concert from the Shrine Auditorium June 19th, 1974....ok?....the improv on that one brings tears to my eyes, but i have a bad quality/incomplete recording......thank you.

Great post! :)
I've been loving the Benefit "They're Real" mascara.
I've been using that concealer for over a year and love it as well. I even picked my mom up a tube when she was complaining of not being able to find a good concealer and she loves it too.
I need to try that Benefit Watt's up since I'm not a fan of the High Beam.
I'm going to have to give that concealer a whirl. My eyes need some serious "refreshing".
Love this elf liner!
And mascara..it's bomb diggity..
So glad you approve of the eye liner! ;) love it! The only other elf product I really like is the lip gloss!
I love Elf makeup it's awesome(and so affordable) :-)
Never heard of elf! Interesting! I wish sephora was much cheaper!
I loveeeee the ELF liner too! It was my great find this month too!!!
I still haven't gotten the hang of gel eyeliner.. :( And, I feel like it is too much when I apply it on my upper lid, I guess because I'm so used to putting it on my bottom lid. I may have to copy you and post some of my faves too ;)
It makes me feel so old that Hard Candy is now sold at Walmart!
I remember in junior high buying it at Macy's and Dillard's - the nail polishes with the rings attached. It was all because of that movie 'Jaw Breaker'! Ha!
clearly now I need to go buy it all!
I wish I could commission you to do my makeup shopping.
Correction... I wish I had the money to commission you to do my makeup shopping. :)
Thanks for the new product ideas!
I've been dying to try gel eyeliner but have not gotten around to it yet ... and I love the Makeup Forever Duo .... I actually use it over my Makeup Forever HD ... I love how it works together!!! :)
Dude, the Hard Candy stuff just reminded me of their bail polish. Back in the day that was like THE stuff to have.
Ooohhh I'll be picking up some of that concealer from wal-mart for sure!! Will need to go either super early or super late though to avoid the crazies.
LOVE elf's cream liner. I'm gonna have to try the Watt's Up, I've never seen that!
oooh! great product rec's! I'm a new follower! LOVE all the blog designs you have created!!
Love that mascara! Another one of my faves by loreal is the "telescopic" one. It has a diff brush than most- that rubbery type. I am going to have to try that benefit stuff out- I've always liked all of their products. I'm glad you joined in on the beauty product review train- I love reading what others think. Love your blog by the way :) new follower!
The mascara is amazing. I have this too and i have applied false lashes before, the glue feels funny, it's hard to get them on perfectly. This mascara makes my lashes just as long and thick as if i have falsies on. Thanks! Can't wait to try the other things you recommend!
cool. I'm getting the elf cream liner once I run out of my current gel liner ^_^. also did my march 2012 favorites, hope you check it out here:
Oh, love these reviews! Is the Makeup Forever powder good at keeping your skin from getting shiny/oily?! I read somewhere that it was, but I haven't wanted to splurge on the pricetag.
i'm super curious about the highlighter. i've been looking for an illuminator for a while now but i just odn't know what the hell to get. i don't want something too shimmery or pink or white...just something that makes me look fresh and bright. does the watts up do that???
I swear by that mascara!! I love it so much that I have told all my friends to buy it!! Glad someone else knows how awesome it is!
I just finally got the cream eyeliner in March too (or I should say, I finally remembered to get it while at Target, lol).
I thought it was okay - better than most I've tried before (I suck at eyeliner!) but not something I think I'd bother with on a daily basis.
I'm with you-- I could take or leave ELF. But, if it can compete with my Fluidline, I may have to try it! Esp at its pricepoint.
I've been using the Watt's up for a while now, and I've got to admit that I"m still on the fence about it. I like it, don't love it. Doubt if I'd buy again. I want to try a powder highlighter since I've switched back to powder/mineral foundation for the summer.
I love all your makeup stuff, seriously. I'm still just learning the basics. I have no clue what the heck highlighter is...except in the sense of stuff for school haha

"The Happy Memories Club," from the Lee Smith short story will be presented at the Mount Airy Public Library on Jan. 28 at 7 p.m.
Starring is Barbara Bates Smith, noted for her adaptation and Off-Broadway performance of "Ivy Rowe" from Lee Smith's Fair and Tender Ladies, a show now entering its 21st year. Musical accompaniment is by Jeff Sebens.
"The Happy Memories Club" features a feisty retirement center resident on the verge of being kicked out of her writing club; her memories are not happy enough. Instead, they are bold and funny and poignant — and slightly naughty. The story provides a model for Barbara's postscript, enticing us all to reflect on our own memories.
An "Our Own Stories" workshop will follow the performance. "The Happy Memories Club" will serve as a springboard to participants, whether toward writing a memoir or the pleasure of reminiscing and sharing stories in a supportive group. The workshop will include step-by-step activities using both writing and telling techniques. Participants are asked to bring a treasured object to the workshop.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Library and is funded in part by a grassroots subgrant from the North Carolina Arts Council. To reserve a seat or more information, call the library at 789-5108.
The actress's website is www.barbarabatessmith.com.

Real Tweets From Real People - Chris Berman And The Home Run Derby
I'm going to break some news this morning. Are you ready for it? You might want to sit down, because this news will shock you. In fact, it may be the most surprising sports story of 2011. Here it goes...
Chris Berman annoys everybody.
Well, almost everybody. Steve Levy is evidently still drinking the Kool-Aid. I'll give you a moment to collect yourself. You see, like most of these ginned up All-Star "festivities," the novelty of the Home Run contest has worn thin over the years. Kinda like a certain loudmouthed announcer that anchored the coverage tonight - Chris Berman. I tried to watch the competition on the DVR, but only got through about 2 back, backs before I had to shut it down and watch The Pick, The Pawn, and The Polish, resisting the urge to pour hot wax in my ears and download The Herd podcast. Thankfully though, we had many Good Samaritans that suffered through the Home Run Derby at various times and spoke up on their feelings towards the one and only Chris Berman.
You see, the MLB All-Star Game and preceding Home Run Derby is like Christmas in July for Awful Announcing. The MLB All-Star break is normally the deadest period of the sporting calendar... but we get Chris Berman and Buck/McCarver on back to back nights!! What could be better? (Or worse.) We chronicled your responses during the US Open on Chris Berman's subpar play by play skills, but one would think that the Home Run Derby would cater more to Berman's hideous schtick. At least he gets to use his catchphrases and nicknames ad nauseum, right?
The only fitting way to analyze Berman's "performance" in the Home Run Derby is to turn it over to you. As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People...
Jesus_M_Christ Lot of prayers for "Please make Chris Berman choke on his microphone" right now. Interesting.
JasonD79 Someone give Chris Berman some valium.
***Update: If these tweets haven't convinced you, check out this wonderfully edited video put together by our friends at Deadspin.

Hollywood Headlines
There was a lot of new-baby buzz when news of Reese Witherspoon heading to a hospital was reported, but it turns out that there's no baby yet. While the expecting mom did visit a hospital Tuesday, she was still preggers when she was released. A source told The Daily Mail that "all parties involved are healthy and fine." The actress is reportedly due early next month.
Celine Dion is taking most of it off for V. The usually modestly dressed singer posed for pics wearing skin-tight shiny black pants and no top for the magazine's upcoming travel issue. If a topless Celine is not enough to entice you to buy the magazine, perhaps Nicole Kidman's cheeks on the fold-out front cover will seal the deal.
Though it was always assumed that Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson would both attend the red carpet premiere of this fall's Breaking Dawn - Part 2, rumor has it that RPattz is going to man up and walk side by side with Stewart, despite their recent break up. He reportedly wants to protect Stewart from possible embarrassment and booing female fans.

I think what is killing comics is:
-Retconning everything, killing continunity, and re-aligning universes/worlds constantly
-Bringing back every dead hero back to life. It meant something when they STAYED dead
-lack of content in only about 20 pages. Panels used to be jammed packed full of narrative, ideas, and the characters thoughts, now it's just story arcs to try to gain a trade paperback published after the comic. Add back in the content and digital sales rebound most likely as well.
Comics better not die because Hollywood would have no ideas
Good to see you on here Bullitt

Oracle Art wowee zowee
For me, there is nothing that stands up to my dad's own Oracle art * – especially his original oil paintings. Seeing them in person, life-sized as they are, is just wowee zowee. There are these amazing little neon gem tones that just pop in the light, and the brushwork, expressions, compositions – I could go on and on. Well not to mention they are super creepy in an other-worldly sort of way which is just a big intoxicant for me. This is, in my opinion, how good Oracle artwork should be.
So me, my daughter and son all made the trek over to the storage locker today, to archive the originals that remain. They were painted in the 70′s, so this something LONG overdue. My dad died about two years ago, and as keeper of the creepers, I have vowed to get this deck of 52 published. There still remain scattered photographs of paintings that have gone by the wayside, so with a little organization and luck, I think I can pull together the entirety.
Anyway, it was a great day, especially sharing it all with my son and daughter, who are just totally blown away by their Grandpa's work.
Soon you will be able to pre-order this new deck!! Stay tuned for upcoming info!!!

Chancha Via Circuito Contributes Song to Sub Pop 1000; Prepares next ZZK/Waxploitation Album
In the middle of his tour, Chancha Via Circuito has been putting the finishing touches on songs for the follow up to his 2011 release "Rio Arriba". The new album, entitled "Para el Mundo Nuevo" is slated for a late 2013/early 2014 release.
In addition, Sub Pop has tapped Chancha Via Circuito for an exclusive song for Sub Pop 1000, the highly anticipated compilation from the legendary label.
Chancha is contributing the song "Lacandona" to the album, which comes in a strictly limited edition vinyl pressing of 5,000 with a fat booklet and cover art by Nathan Fox and an exclusive image by Paula Duro.
Chancha sits alongside other cult artists such as Peaking Lights, Protomartyr, and His Electro Blue Voice on the album, to be released on Record Store Day.
Chancha Via Circuito's music is a unique blend of old school South American beats and 21st-century electronics. Trance-like, but intensely rhythmic, his sound has been likened to a cumbia version of Burial, in that (in Pitchfork's words) it's "informed by dance music more than it actually functions as dance music".
In now it's 7th season, Zizek Club is back on Friday April 5th at a new home: Jok Club (Alvarez Thomas 847 - Colegiales) with shows by Fauna in their new formation and an audiovisual show by Chancha Via Circuito & VJ Paula Duro.
On Friday April 19 La Yegros takes the stage to present her first album Viene de Mi and Camanchacha, who are part of the new BA electronic scene, also headlines.
The resident DJs Villa Diamante, El G, DJ Nim & VJ Lucas DM will be in charge of holding it down in for the inaugural 2013 bash.
ARGENTINIAN DUO RELEASE OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD DEBUT ALBUMFrikstailers are set to release their debut LP En Son De Paz on ZZK Records (Kartel) on February 25th, 2013.Frikstailers (pronounced freak-stylers) rose from the eclectic Buenos Aires cumbia scene, turning the genre on its head with their unique style that saw Fader magazine describe them as "cumbia circuit-bent through neon dance tunes that interpret the most electric side of South America."Bringing their inimitable brand of South American rhythm to London in December, they headlined the taste-making Boiler Room and played a hyper-animated show at the New Empowering Church.The duo of Rafa Caivano and Lisandro Sona recorded En Son De Paz in Mexico City where they now reside. Their first release, the Bicho de Luz EP garnered critical acclaim, with Resident Advisor describing them as having taken "a sound as old and 'Western' as hip-hop and fleshed it out brilliantly with regional touches." Notching up further plaudits via their inclusion on Modeselektor's recent Modeselektion Vol.2 and the just-released Future Sounds of Buenos Aires compilation, the Frikstailers are primed for the inter-planetary big time.
Maybe our favorite review ever of a ZZK album. From Aquarius Records in San Francisco, CA. Grab your copy today!
This is happening.
Frikstailers are about to drop their 2nd ZZK EP, Guacha. With some fiery remixes by Los Reyes de la Milanga, Uproot Andy & Thornato. For the occasion we've organized a quick stop over in Europe for some shows. 1st one up, the dopest internet party around, Boiler Room. Internet phenomenon, force to be reckoned with, lineups that make you dance while cradling your laptop at home by yourself or with friends, rocking out to the beats. Well, you get the point.
Next up is their real debut London show, cuz we can't guarantee you'll be able to get into the 1st one. But this one is a proper warehouse party with Soundway Record's Batida and the queen of Carioca Bass from Zuzuka Poderosa. After they finish with London, they're heading over to squat it out with the crew from Kako Da Ne in Utrecht. Oh and then they're bouncing, like back to life, back to reality. Just a quick little jaunt over the Atlantic to show some select crowds what 2013 has in store: THEIR FIRST FULL LENGTH ALBUM - EN SON DE PAZ!
Bonus track! Check out the XLR8R post where you can pick up a free remix by the titan Maga Bo!
UPDATE! Watch & stream the show here, share and leave a comment!

Progress continues on the Hitchcock Creek Greenway Project in Rockingham, and you may notice three new bridges if you head out that way.
"We have made great progress so far," said City Manager Monty Crump. "We've got three bridges up and have put in part of the walkways, but the trails are rough with no hard surface yet."
Parking areas at the Roberdel put-in site and the Steel Street out-put site are still being worked on, but folks are canoeing, according to Crump.
The Wildlife Commission is still working on the primitive camp site, to be located in the Diggs Tract. Crump said they are working on clearing out the road leading off of Osbourne Road.
"We are also working on signs," said Crump. "Sportsman folk ask me about this all the time."
Recreational opportunities are growing in Richmond County, and Rockingham Mayor Pro-Tem John Hutchinson is pleased.
"I'm really excited about that," said Hutchinson, who rafts regularly on Hitchcock Creek and has also been known for running. "From what I have seen, good things happen when we facilitate things like that. When you put something like this in place, you never know how it's going to be used."
Hutchinson is referring also to Hinson Lake's trail, and the 24-hour run that takes place there annually.
"The walking trail is in a beautiful area," he said. "It's almost completely pristine. You don't realize you are in the middle of town. It's going to be a real asset to our area."
Some form of the Hitchcock Creek "Blue Trail" has been on the drawing boards for almost a decade. A key element was the removal of the 100-year-old Steele's Mill Dam so water — and canoeists — could flow freely downstream. The demolition took place two years ago and involved the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The City of Rockingham hopes the new recreational area will provide more incentive for families to relocate to Richmond County, and for a form of recreational tourism to grow here.

I had a double wide mobile home and 12.45 acres of land outside of Post, Tx that I wanted to put on the market. Steve was very helpful in procuring a buyer after many potential buyers were unsuccessful in securing a loan. Steve went out of his way to help close the deal.

The 15.4" MacBook Pro Notebook Computer from Apple is a powerful notebook computer with an innovative aluminum unibody design. It is loaded with advanced power management features, including an intelligent hybrid graphics system, which allow it to run for up to 9 hours on a single charge.
The computer's 15.4" display features a LED backlight and an antiglare finish. Its 1680 x 1050 native resolution gives you ample screen real estate with which to work. You'll be able to output to an external display at up to 2560 x 1600 resolution thanks to the computer's Mini DisplayPort output.
The system is powered by a 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 and is loaded with 4GB of memory and a 320GB 5400rpm hard drive. The CPU can be overclocked to 2.93GHz using the Turbo Boost system. Graphics are handled by a hybrid system, which includes a discrete nVIDIA GeForce GT 330M GPU with 256MB of GDDR3 memory and integrated Intel HD graphics. The computer automatically switches between the two GPUs to best handle the task at hand, perfectly balancing performance and power consumption.
The computer features a comfortable backlit chiclet-style keyboard, which features space between each key for improved accuracy and comfort when typing. It also sports a glass Multi-Touch trackpad with a clickable design. Rather than having a separate button for mouse clicks, the entire surface of the pad is clickable. This increases the active surface area, and allows you to quickly click, even if your finger is near the top of the trackpad.
What's more, the smooth surface fully supports Multi-Touch gestures -- you can tap the trackpad with one finger to click, with two fingers to right click, scroll through documents using two fingers, pinch to zoom, navigate through Safari or iPhoto with three-finger left and right swipes, or use two fingers to rotate a photo or PDF.
iLife '11, a complete suite of digital creativity applications, is installed on the system. Easy enough for anyone to use, iLife will help you edit your home movies, organize digital photos, and compose original music.
The computer is loaded with Apple's Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard operating system. The 64-bit OS features Time Machine backup, which automatically backs up system data to an external hard drive. It also features intuitive Cover Flow navigation, the powerful Spotlight search tool, and Quick Look document preview. You'll be able to use Boot Camp to run Windows on your Mac, or Front Row to turn your Mac into an impressive media player.
