Let's face it, mobile devices have taken over our lives! We use them day in and day out for everyday use. But sometimes, I see these devices cross over into the production world, namely, headphone ear buds. Sure it's easy, gives you sound, and doesn't weigh anything, but let's be realistic… iPhone style ear buds just aren't the right tool in a production environment.
Now, I don't want to make this sound like a snobbery blog post, because it truly isn't. What this blog post is about is using the right tools for the job at hand. And sometimes, using the correct tools doesn't mean having to rob a bank to do so.
Using proper reference headphones is both professional and affordable. So what exactly are reference headphones? Just like reference monitors (speakers), they're used as a reference in which to make critical judgment in sound, no matter what location or studio you are in. Maintaining sonic consistency across different environments is an important factor to not overlook.
Here at OneRiver Media, we have a pair of Yamaha NS-10M reference monitors in our audio control room. You will find these exact monitors in just about every recording studio on the planet. Seriously. It's not because they sound great (in fact, many people feel they don't sound that great at all), but because anyone walking into a studio can use these monitors and have an equal/constant reference to go by, knowing the characteristics of these monitors.
Reference headphones are no different. For reference headphones, I started using Sony MDR-V6 headphones in the 1980's, and in the 1990's switched to the new MDR-7506 model (same design, driver, and pretty much overall sound, just that the two are wired differently in regards to their grounding). The MDR-7506 are also way more readily available, even in some retail stores if you're in a bind. Bottom line though, is that production audio people (on location and in the studio) around the world depend on these headphones everyday, and as such, have been the standard to go by. When you see other manufacturers copy the design of the MDR-7506, you know the original is the real deal. And don't fool yourself, get the real deal!
But again, just because the Sony MDR-7506 is a standard, doesn't mean they sound standard. They sound great. Plus they help keep your ears isolated from external sound, making it easier to concentrate on the sound you're recording; ear buds can't do that. Ear buds usually have a pretty bad low frequency fall-off, so any rumblings below, say 200Hz will get missed on ear buds; not the case with 7506's. Better to fix the sound on set than dealing with it in post, which might cost you money or if anything, cost you time.
We actually gave a pair of 7506′s to a long-time producer client of ours this last March for his birthday. He absolutely loves them. We wanted to make sure that when he was at home reviewing our video progress, that he did so with headphones that matched with what we're listening to here at the studio.
At around $100 it's really kind of no brainer. Walking on set with ear buds just looks bad and sounds bad. Sporting a set of cans like the MDR-7506 wont get you funny looks and will ensure the sound you're recording is clean and accurate.

Still The Best Pillow
By Debbie
from Montreal, Quebec
Just bought 2 more Silk Impression Pillows in the last month.I have to say it really is a GREAT pillow. Yes, I had to buy them in the King Size but that is O.K., I have a King Size bed. In total I have 3 King Size Silk Impression pillows. Again Thanks TSC for having Silk Impression.

Silk Impressions Silk Pillow
By Melly
from Stratford
I have been searching for a new pillow for a few years and every time SOMETHING was not quite right.Purchasing the silk pillow was the best decision I made. It is soft, but not too soft. It has a nice loft to it but not too high. It adjusts to one's head immediately and cradles it so comfortably that you don't want to leave it in the morning.If you have had trouble in finding a pillow as I've had, I highly recommend this one.

Best Pillow
By Ms B
I have to say that I have bought (2 Silk Impressions Duvets Kings Size) and now I have bought the King size pillow THE BEST. I have bought feather pillows that are the best one the market, but now I have the Silk Impression pillow and all I can say is if you have to buy a really good pillow. This is it. I hope to buy another if they will come back with a Queen Size. If not I will be buying another King Size. Thank you so much (TSC) for bring Silk Impressions.

In 2008 Luke McCormick was jailed for over seven years because he had killed two children and injured three other people in a car accident. He was drunk from a colleague's wedding.
This whole scenario, I think we can agree, is Bad News All Round. I think we'll also agree that it was All His Fault.
Anyway, after having behaved himself in prison it turns out he's been released, and will be trialled by Swindon Town with a view to continuing his career as a professional goalkeeper.
Well, what do you think? Is this More Bad News?
Maybe it's ok. He's done the time so deserves to be reinstated. Perhaps four years doesn't seem much for having killed two people, but that's the judge's call.
Or maybe it's not ok. This is probably the side most people would land on simply because of the fact that he could be earning hundreds of thousands of pounds per week.
This perspective is highlighted nicely by Daniel Taylor:
Money is one thing, however; being in the public eye is something entirely different, and this is when the moral argument about rehabilitation takes a different slant and it is easier to understand the outcry.
Imagine, for example, how the parents of Arron and Ben Peak would feel turning on the television and seeing McCormick back in the football bubble, with all its perks and advantages. Or opening the newspapers and seeing him lauded for his achievements.
Is it surprising that something in us instinctively has a problem with people who have done bad stuff 'being rewarded'?
Thank God that our eternal rewards (and punishments) will be perfectly matched to our hearts, thoughts, words and deeds.

Anime Genre: fairies
A Little Snow Fairy Sugar
Genres:Description: Season Fairies create and control the weather using special musical instruments. They make the wind blow, the snow fall, the sun shine; if it's something weather related, they are the ones who make it happen. Sugar, an apprentice Snow Fairy, and her friends Salt and Pepper, all want to become full-fledged Season Fairies, and the only way to achieve this is to search for and find the "Twinkles" that will make their magical flowers bloom. The only problem is that none of them have any idea what a Twinkle is. They enlist the somewhat unwilling help of Saga, a human girl who can see Season Fairies. Much to her annoyance, Saga's perfectly planned and ordered life has just become a little too lively for her taste. Together, they search for the mysterious Twinkles while trying to perfect their magic.

My Points | |
My Games |
Bought the game a few months ago because I was looking for a great coop game that would play really well with 2 players since once a week I play duo with my brother and he loves coop games.
I also LOVE hard games that don't take you by the hand, like Arkham Horror.
At first I was not really sure about my purchase, but that was before my first game. Then came the day we played Emergence, the first scenario. We lost hard and we decided to retry it immediately.
Since then we played the first 3 scenarios a couple of time each and we lost every single one of them, just near the end everytime, but have more and more fun playing it.
It's one of the best coop games out there that i've played and damn glad I bought it.
I might even paint the minis, which are one of the best sculpts FFg has ever produces, they're simply awesome. Great details that scream to get painted!
So that's simply it, wanted to add another positive comment about GoW, which imo EVERYONE that loves coop and difficult games where team work is extremely important, should get it!

Totally agree. The first time I brought the game to my pals, some of them sneered at the dice + card deck ("too much randomness, we can't plan enough strategy!"), but four hours later they were asking for yet another game, having witnessed the glory of defeating the Berserker. The semi-random board is great too.
Painting the minis is a bit of an undertaking (Kantus gown-thing, I'm looking at you!), but it's well worth the effort. Go for it.

I just picked up this game recently as I was looking for a COOP game that was in a genre that is at least interesting to me.
I tried it solo a couple of times and was sort of like meh, but I was trying to learn the game mechanics. Got in some games with other players and absolutely has a blast playing. With other players the nail biting factor goes up.
Totally digging it.
Without Signature
Definitely. Solo is very much a binary game (either you're winning or you're just dead) which just enhances how well the co-op goes. On top of being a great game, I also feel like it replicated the feel of the videogame surprisingly well.
You gonna get PURGED!
Awesome game with all the replayability and randomness of the maps as I have posted many variants that this great game can offer.
Got to agree with all of you. Amazing co-op game and really gives you moments that'll happen during the video game. If they do announce an expansion i'd be the first to buy it.
Without Signature
I find this game very exciting, up to the last attack. It's so tense! I would love some real expansions for this game.
I have only played the first game on the xbox with a friend, but I am not really into the franchise. What I would love to see is some miniatures for those really big monsters you fight in the games, that would be awesome. And more monster mini's in general too! Aaaah… a man can dream right?
Without Signature
Totally agree!
I just played once in solo mode. I obviously lost and this game is just astonishing!
I see a lot of potencial in this system and i can't wait to play another one. And i feel that is just the beginning for this kind of games and i hope that FFG take profit of that because i feel that is not 100% profit of this game…i wait for more expansions and complexity of the game, like feeling a game more like a dungeon and exploration.
I too played my first solo game yesterday. Four hours later, I was killed by a swarm of one Boomer, one Drone and two Wretchs. I had so much fun! Best $60 (plus $20 for sleeves) ever!

Posts Tagged 'Suggestion'
a letter from me to someone for a change…
This month is African American History month, and during a reading of the wonderful play by Kim Hines, "Home on the Mornin' Train" in our Drama/Music class which we read as part of our school's homage to this special month, a certain issue came up concerning some of the language chosen by the playwright that my co teacher and I were not able settle. My suggestion to the class was that I write to the playwright herself and ask her. Below is the letter. I am very hopeful to receive a response as Ms. Hines is very approachable. When and if that happens, I will certainly post that response as well.
Dear Kim,
I am hopeful that you will remember me, and probably you willnot. Several years ago I directed Home on the Mornin' Train in a middle school in VT, and you were kind enough to offer your counsel to me on how the show could be done with all white VT kids.
Well, many things have changed in my life since then, and now I am drama teacher at the Glenforest School – a K-12 school for kids with learning differences – as well as the director of a Youth Theatre program here in Columbia SC.
I recently had my drama/music class read Home on the Mornin' Train and study the spirituals within the script to increase awareness during African American History Month. as you might imagine, there are many more African American kids in my classes now!
Here's what I ran into: the African American kids took exception to the way the characters in the play and the stage directions use the words Colored, Negro and black. My co-teacher and I attempted to explain what we thought the purpose was: that the characters were using terms that were accurate to the time period, but our explanations fell flat and it seemed to me that the kids either did not understand or did not believe us. Our students can be less than worldly thinkers – I do not say this in a judgmental way, but only to give you knowledge of our kids who have a range of challenges including ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, Dyslexia and other learning differences. At any rate this makes any but concrete thinking difficult for them in many cases and I think they had a hard time seeing the use of the specific language from any but their own perspective.
So my request is this: if you have any time at all for such things anymore, would you be willing to make a statement to our students concerning your choices for the language in the play? When I mentioned that I had in fact communicated with you several years ago the students perked up their ears and really seemed to get excited that you, the playwright, were not only a real person, but someone one could communicate with! lol – again, that concrete way of thinking and looking at things.
So anyway Kim, I do hope things are going well with you, and let me tell you I really enjoyed revisiting the play. And if you happen to find time to help us out with these guys and their understanding of the language in the play, I think it would help them on many levels.
Thank you, and best of luck to you!
Susan Scaccia

EDSELL, JR., AND HIS W I F E , MARY, return from a three-day Washington session of fresh-men GOP congressional candidates. Edsell, who is the Republican candidate in the fifth district to succeed the retiring Frank J. Becker, conferred with top GOP national and congressional leaders on major issues facing the nation and attended a full schedule of day and evening "shirt sleeve" sessions on the various aspects of cam-paigning. Mrs. Edsell attended a series of special briefings for the disstaff side of the campaign. The couple was accompanied by Edsell's campaign manager, John P. Cleary, of Freeport. The three-day conference, sponsored by the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee, was ad-dressed by top Republican leaders, including Senator B arry Goldwater, Congressman William E. Miller, Sena-tor Thrushton B. Morton, Congressman Charles Halleck, and Congressman Bob Wilson. The conference was held at the Marriot Twin Bridges Motor Motel in Washington. Cong. Becker Chides Nickerson Congressman Frank J. Becker (R.N.Y.) fired back the fol-lowing reply in response to a telegram received from Eugene Nickerson, Nassau County Executive urging defeat of Senate proposal to stay reapportionment: " R E U R T E L urging defeat of pro-posals to stay reapportionment would suggest that you give a little time to government of Nassau Coim-t y and stop playing politics. Per- !iT|styou do not know, but the Con- ^IpRion is the Law of the Land, and not Supreme Court decisions. The American pepole have never agreed to be governed by any nine men, or permit ihem to make the "Law of the Land". Only the Congress has the power to make laws, if you M'ill read Article 1 of the Constitu-tion. Might add tliat no county in the State of New York lias been l)etter served or whose interests more protected by their legislators than Nassau County. Quality, and not numbers, serves the people bet-ter by far, and the Nassau County Senators and Asseinblynu^n have done an excellent job and I am proud of them. Heapportionnient / \come but should not be forced \ X'ipitately by any edict of the Supreme Court in violation of tradi-tion that has stood for J 7 5 years. Perhaps if you had concentrated more on doing a job for the people of Nassau County instead of ou politics and publicity and posing for pictures daily, the people's interest woidd have beea better served. Remember when you campaigned in 1961, you and the Democratic leader told the people to elect a Democrat County Executive and you would work with Democrat Ad-ministration in Washington and sec-ure more defense contracts for Nas-sau Coimty plants and provide more jobs. What happened to this prom-ise? Defense contracts instead have gone to Texas and elsewhere and defense workers in Nassau are look-ing for jobs with more and more being laid off weekly. Your main interest since 1961 was firing Rep-ublicans from jobs and providing more and more jobs for Democrats. My interests for the past twenty years have been to serve the peo-ple of Nassau County and my Coun-try. Why don't >'ou tr>' it for a change?" ERHS Open for New Students - Changes The Guidance Department at East Rockaway High School will be open on August 24 from 9-12 and 1-4, to accept new students and to dis-cuss program changes with students already enrolled. Switch in Compassion Criticized by Bishop Bishop Fulton J. Sheen in his sermon at the 36th Annual Red Mass sponsored by the New York Guild of Catholic Lawyers in St. Patrick's Cathedral deplored the switch in compassion which favors " t h e criminal, the bum, the breaker of the law" rather than the victim of a crime or iiolice officer. " W e used to feel sorry for the one raped, but now it is the rap-ist," Bishop Sheen said. He called upon the legal profession to help stem "the whittling away of the true freedom" which is exemplified by the "new compassion" extended to "the delinquent, the immoral and the bum." (An editorial appearing in this paper on July 2, 1964 deplored this condition, also.) Helm-Review Golf Tourney Entry Blank on Page 10 S e e Next Week's Edition F o r Further D e t a i ls Lynbrook Welcomes New Teachers Dr. Edward J. Murphy, Superintendent of Schools of Union Free School District No. 20, has announced an Orientation Pro-gram for all new teachers on Friday, September 4, 1964.

Most overrated rock acts of all time, in no particular order: Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, AC/DC, The Eagles, and Eric Clapton (solo work). These are the bands that are responsible for making classic rock boring.
This band will never amount to anything. I'll pass. Where's my Perry Como box set???

Let me guess...you're the president of the Jonas Brothers fan club.
I found When the Tigers Broke free on an album some years ago. Don't remember which one but there is the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/When_the_Tigers_Broke_Free
can't wait until the PF special edition Rock Band comes out...!
bigpeeler wrote:Let me guess...you're the president of the Jonas Brothers fan club.
Well, actually I am a Senator (OH) in the Jonas Brothers Fan Club. (The Jonas Brothers Fan Club is a representative republic)
Actually, the acts are "boring" because radio has overplayed them.
I believe that's on Roger Waters "Flickering Flame" album. This "WOOT" makes my heart beat fast too, but I also have all of them either on vinyl or c.d! Keep up the great woots!

Maybe the odd time signature. Now i'll have to try it with Apocalypse in 9/8.
sdc100 wrote:I almost got it as a gift to myself then I realized that there is no way these can live up to The Mobile Fidelity Sound Labs gold disc editions.
The Harvest releases do. (And the cover art isn't shrunk and framed—the one thing that has always irritated me about MFSL releases.) [Gold is more corrosion resistant, and the smoother surface is slightly less proned to mistracking; but it doesn't affect the audio at all.]
zozzles wrote:Who was it that died from the band within the last two months?
Rick Wright—the keyboardist. (And Syd Barrett—the original lead singer, died a couple of years ago.)
I was born in 1985, so pretty much all of the Pink Floyd mess was over with by the time I got into them. Which gives me an odd perspective, Division Bell seems as much Pink Floyd to me as anything else, since it's not a departure from anything, just another part in the grand puzzle. I'll buy this and finally have most of everything of my own, not a few albums borrowed from my mom, a few burned, a few downloaded. Should be nice.
ROFL great description.
snarkosis wrote:Anybody know where to find studio versions of "Embryo" (aside from the Works album), "When the tigers broke free", and "What shall we do now?" ? I've always hoped they would put those last two back on The Wall some day...
I would also like the single version of Young Lust—which ends without fading into the bumper material. I think most (if not all) of these were released as singles (some b-sides). (I wonder if the lyric sheets for The Wall, in this set, include What Shall we Do Now?—as the LPs did, and the CDs didn't?)
woot you are evil. I just said earlier today "no more presents for me." I also just bought a new surround sound system for me. I also need coasters. Oh this would sound so good on my new surround system. If fate fiinds this still waiting for me and lurking inside of my laptop after seeping I just might not be able to refuse. oh, oh so tempting...so want...
RayH wrote:This would be a nicer deal if it included DVD's of Live at Pompeii, Wizard of Oz synced to Dark Side of the Moon and the DVD-A/DD 4.1 Alan Parsons' quad mix of Dark Side of the Moon.
I've always meant to try the Wizard of Oz thing, just never got around to it. In other news, I did hear "turn me on dead man" when playing Revolution #9 from The Beatles White Album backwards, but playing my Black Sabbath records backwards with the lights out failed to conjure up Satan.
You forgot the Beatles. A lot of great stuff; but way overhyped—especially in their early years, with all the idiotic teen twits too busy screaming like crazed 5 year olds to even hear the music, much less enjoy it. Meanwhile, i wouldn't call any of these acts boring (except AC/DC, who don't do much, if anything, for me). Though i can see if one limits their view to what gets played on mainstream commercial radio (which i avoid), they might get tired of it. (The lowest-common-denominator market can handle only very limited amounts of truly interesting music, before their flaccid little minds die of whining for their factory-pop.)
Please your greatness, you sublime rock hater, anoint us with your blessing of great rock bands. Just a small list, maybe 7 or 8 of those bands which pass the much vaunted test of johnnylemonhead, we're waiting.
flyersfan25 wrote:Oh, I want one so badly! I was looking at this set on Amazon not that long ago... But is it an upgrade over the CDs I already own?
If you own the lackluster Capitol or Columbia CDs, then it very probably is an upgrade. If you own the outstanding Harvest or MFSL CDs, then perhaps not.

is this only for US customers? thx

"Embryo" is only available on 'Works,' since the album was put together at the behest of their record company without the Floyd's input or consent. They didn't regard the track as quite finished. "When the Tigers Broke Free" can be found on the most recent (not 1994) remaster of 'The Final Cut' (which could be the version in this boxed set). "What Shall We Do Now?" (an extension of "Empty Spaces") is only in the movie 'The Wall' and of course there was no released film soundtrack. I, too, hope it'll be integrated into a future reissue of 'The Wall.' I have all their albums and am a big fan -- and I'd be buying this if it wasn't for my shelling out so much lately for the third and last Genesis 1970-1975 import CD/SACD+DVD boxed set. Argh!

have to agree about the eagles for sure...clearly you are a child though to think as much about the others mentioned. that or you were one of those geeky kids that didn't get stoned and go to concerts and wait in line at the back doors to party with the bands...oh, shhh...i was a minor and i promised jimmy not mention that

zozzles wrote:To tell a secret: There I was at "Rattlesnake Ranch" where the "Fall Follies" were taking place, having drunk a fairish number of shots of "Dr." John's Snake Oil and was sitting in the living room. We were listening to "The Dark Side of the Moon" (I would have never known of Pink Floyd if not for John). I was grooving and relaxing and everything was coolness incorporated. I didn't know there was a six-foot Magna Planar speaker DIRECTLY behind me. When all of the alarm clocks went off I nearly went into an apoplectic fit. Scared the living bejeesus out of me. However, that is now about my favorite of their albums...
Sounds great on my six-foot Magnaplanars, too. (Gotta have 2 amps to get it right, but if you do, boy!)

one other comment. pink floyd has some great songs.. most on the dark side album. but arent most of their songs really repetitive and kind of mundane? does anybody really want to put on one of their myriad albums and listen to the damn thing straight through? they made way too many low caliber albums just to make money. they were right there with the MAN, acting like they were outside the box and cool.
Interesting woot; I like the vinyl cover art and inserts but just can't see myself getting this when I have all these albums. Good price though.
You should try Dark Side of the Moon on MFSL UHQR Vinyl. If you want better, you needed to be in the studio with them when they recorded it.
They don't make CDs out of vinyl.

Anyone who thought that Disney/Pixar's "Toy Story" franchise would really be kaput following "Toy Story 3" (a movie that practically crow-barred tears out of even the most hardened misanthrope) were, of course, out of their collective minds. Since the third film was released, we've had three dazzling theatrical short films ("Hawaiian Vacation," "Small Fry," and "Partysaurus Rex") and idle chatter of a fourth film. And come Halloween, we'll get something even more special � a 22-minute TV special called "Toy Story of Terror," the first image of which debuted today. Also, former Pixar director Brenda Chapman weighs in on the controversy surrounding her "Brave" character Merida becoming an official Disney Princess. The first image from the special � featuring Woody (Tom Hanks) and Jessie (Joan Cusack) huddled around a ominously glow-in-the-dark Buzz (Tim Allen) � is appropriately atmospheric, and along with the image, some details have emerged about the special's tone and plot.

When you think of Heidi Klum, you instantly think of her insanely shiny, gorgeous, blonde hair—or at least I do. Sure, she's got a killer bod, a contagious charm, and a wardrobe that any woman would envy, but really she's also got some of the best locks in Hollywood, which is why I had to grill her on all things beauty in our recent interview, read on for her secrets! OK!: Clear Hair Care held a "Right End" Hair Revolution event in LA recently, encouraging women to pay more attention to their scalp—why did you decide to partner with this brand? Heidi Klum: I tried the products before I joined and I think they're great because they do what they promise— make your hair stronger and more beautiful. They nourish the scalp and I think that's what is so important because all the other brands forget about that. Everyone always thinks about brittle split ends and once they are split, the only thing you can do is cut them, no matter what product you use. I think you can help that by feeding your hair through the scalp and Clear does that. News: First Look at Heidi Klum and Mel B as Judges on 'America's Got Talent' OK!: What's your favorite product in the line? HK: The 7 Day Intensive Treatment. I use it twice a month and it makes my hair softer and silkier. OK!: Clear did a recent study that says 99% of the hair's natural strength and beauty comes from the scalp, where else do you think your strength and beauty comes from? HK: From eating right. You are what you eat and that's so important; you have to eat right. OK!: You've worn a lot of different hairstyles in your career, which trends do you consider the most timeless? HK: I've cut my bangs and grown them out so many times—I do love them—but for me, I like my hair long. I feel more feminine with longer hair. Maybe it's the girly girl in me, but I like to play with my hair and I can also do more things with it when it's long. Last week I made it really curly, and I love it dead straight or slicked back tight in a bun. It also depends on what I'm wearing. OK!: Has there ever been one trend that you loved on others, but didn't like on yourself? HK: I do love those cute little braids that people have, but they just don't look good on me. I think, yes, my name is Heidi and I should be on a dirt road in braids, in the mountains, but it looks wrong. OK!: What's your get-ready routine? HK: Most of the time, I wash my hair and condition it, grab a big pair of sunglasses and run out of the house. If I have a meeting, then I would put on a little bit of base, blush, mascara, and a lip gloss. OK!: I want to talk to you about America's Got Talent. How has it been working with Mel B? HK: I love Mel, Howie, and Howard. They are a lot of fun and we make each other laugh all day. Everyone is always on time, which I also love. It's not really about us though. It's about whoever is the act that is on the stage, but we are having a really good time. News: What's New in Celebrity Fragrances OK!: What was the transition like for you? To go from hosting to judging? HK: It's definitely different than anything I've ever done before, but I do enjoy it. I love looking at amazing, goofy acts all day and judging them. I feel like I have good taste. I've seen a lot of things in the 20 years I've been traveling around the world, from any music act to every cirque de le show, to everything that you can watch in Vegas. You name it, I've seen it. I get bored quite fast, so if there's an act on stage and it's boring, it's getting an X quick. OK!: Do you watch any other reality shows? HK: I don't watch a lot of television, but I do like Wipeout. I watch that with my kids, they love it. OK!: Speaking of your kids, Mother's Day is coming up—what's the best present you've ever received? HK: My kids made these painted clay pots for me that had a flower planted inside. I thought they were really cute because they lasted. OK!: How will you be spending the holiday this year? HK: We will probably be home barbecuing or something like that. We have a beautiful garden, so we will probably just do that. Eat a lot and hang out. OK!: And we have to talk about your famous Halloween party. Are you doing it again this year? HK: Of course! I already know what I'm going to wear; I'm all prepared. What do you love most about Heidi Klum? Are you excited to see her on America's Got Talent?

One day after tiny pageant sensation�Alana Thompson�s parents actually tied the knot, TLC has announced that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo�will be back for a second season this summer. The hit redneck reality series returns July 17 at 9 PM for another cycle. "This summer, get ready to watch the family take part in hijinks like butter rolling, tap dancing lessons and wrestling events,� said TLC in a statement this morning. On Sunday, June "Mama Bear" Shannon and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson got married in a ceremony where guests were encouraged to attend in full redneck attire but not allowed to bring cameras, according to the invite. The couple's three daughters, including 7-year old Alana, were in attendance. The wedding will be part of the new season. The initial 10 episodes of Season 1 of the Authentic Entertainment-produced unscripted series proved a big hit for TLC, averaging 2.4 million viewers. Halloween and Thanksgiving specials in January plus a clip show and Christmas special in February also delivered strong numbers.
EXCLUSIVE: Voltage�has set Uli Edel to helm�Pay The Ghost, an elevated supernatural thriller that is based on a short story by cult horror and dark fantasy novelist Tim Lebbon. Voltage will sell the picture at Cannes and should have cast in place by the time the fest gets underway. In the Dan Kay-scripted thriller, a young boy disappears from his father's side during a Halloween parade. His parents are haunted by terrifying images, and they learn that on Halloween, a vengeful ghost surfaces, abducting children. They also learn there is a short window to recover the child before he's lost forever to the spirit world. Kay, who wrote Timber Falls,� developed the script with producer Ian Levy and then Voltage got behind it, with Craig Flores and Nicolas Chartier also producing. They enlisted Edel, who helmed The Baader Meinhof Complex and just directed the six-hour miniseries Hotel Adlon, which was the highest rated TV show ever in Germany. Production on Pay The Ghost begins this summer.

Product Information
Related ProductsPublisher's DescriptionWeek after week, they sit in church . . . alone. They are the spiritually mismatched, those who are committed to a spouse who does not share their faith. Feeling abandoned by their spouse and forgotten by their church, they live out their faith in survival mode, guarding the spiritual flame yet never feeling free to share it. But God wants them to thrivenot just survive. Winning Him Without Words presents 10 Christ centered keys to thriving in a spiritual mismatch. Readers are encouraged to commit to Christian community, to release their spouse to Gods capable hands, to find peace in their relationships with Christ and with their spouse, to continue their pursuit of a growing faith and to love their spouse with fresh enthusiasm. God wants every marriage to exude peace and love, and Winning Him Without Words empowers readers to create that environment in their homes and thrive as God works. Winning Him Without Words was the recipient of the Non-Fiction Book of 2011 Award from the San Diego Christian Writers Guild. The San Diego Christian Writers Guild is one of the largest countywide Christian writers group in the United States.
Author BioLYNN DONOVAN writes for the online ministry she founded in 2006, Spiritually Unequal Marriage. Lynn is a popular Bible study leader and national speaker who dispels the myths women believe about love and marriage and points them to the freedom that is theirs through a living relationship with Christ. She lives in Temecula, California, with her husband, Mike. DINEEN MILLER believes her years as a youth counselor, a Stephen Minister, a women's ministry leader and a small group leader fuel her desire to ignite the souls of others through words of truth. She's also a C.L.A.S.S. Communicator and has been featured on the Moody Radio Network, Family on the Family and FamilyLife Today. She lives in the Bay Area with her husband. They have two daughters and a son-in-law. Dineen is the coauthor of Winning Him Without Words: 10 Keys to Thriving in Your Spiritually Mismatched Marriage and author of The Soul Saver.

Editorial ReviewsMoving. Challenging. Full of devastating, healing truth. No two ways about it: Dineen Miller and Lynn Donovan have crafted a masterpiece in Winning Him Without Words. For those whove felt alone in the battle to win their husbands to Christ, help is here! In fact, any marriageeven those, like mine, in which spouses share a faith in Jesuswould be strengthened and blessed by putting the 10 keys in this book into practice. Wives, the time is now. Take the truths these two women share and let them infuse your marriage with what we all desire: Gods amazing love and blessing. I am the daughter of a brave mother who was married to an unbeliever. My mothers decision to follow Jesus even if my dad didnt made all the difference to me as a little girl and propelled me into Christian leadership as an adult. I am forever grateful for women like Lynn and Dineen who live out a message of "God is enough." Winning Him Without Words is a lifeline of hope and help for any woman who is struggling in a spiritually mismatched marriage. For anyone who endures a spiritually mismatched marriagehoping and praying that things might improveheres authentic help from two women who know this topic from the inside out. Never preachy or harsh, these authors reveal their own struggles and difficulties as wives caught up in spiritually mismatched marriages. Winning Him Without Words is a must-read for hurting wives as they prayerfully seek change in their husbands and meaningful transformation in their marriages. C.S. Lewis once said that friendship is born at that moment one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one." Thats what Winning Him Without Words is like. For the woman who is married to a man who doesnt share her faith in Christ, this book is a faithful friend who will encourage her in her feelings of aloneness, anxiety, frustration (and all the other emotions that come with living in a spiritually mismatched marriage) and point her to the One who can and will make something good out of them. This book will give great hope to those who may wonder if thriving is out of reach. As a "marriage" author, whenever I have a reader or audience member ask me, "What should I do if my husband isnt a believer?" I have felt inadequate to support him or her. Now I have a new approachpray and hand the person this book. As I read through these pages, I was humbled by the wisdom and encouragement that these women sharemuch of which was a timely reminder for my own marriage. With honest struggle and authentic hope, Dineen and Lynn show women how to make God the very center of their unequal marriages. It has been a wonderful gift and blessing to "meet" Dineen and Lynn through their journeys. As one who is also unequally yoked in a spiritually mismatched marriage (to a wonderful guy, for 29 years!), the relief in knowing I am not alone is huge. That, coupled with practical keys they share as they share of themselves, has invigorated our marriage and brought honor to God.

Teen's Death Sparks Suicide Awareness Campaign
By: Brittney Johnson, KARK 4 News
Updated: December 12, 2012
Amber Patton says like so many other parents she'd ask her 15-year-old daughter, Asya, if something was bothering her and get a smile and a vague response in return. A few weeks ago, she learned just how much her daughter was bothered by bullies, after she committed suicide.
A simple Facebook search for Asya Patton turns up countless photos of a fun-loving 15-year-old.
"She was outgoing, bubbly," her mother says.
Weeks after she Asya took her own life, Amber Patton admits, she's still in denial.
"It seems like oh Asya will be here later, but she never comes," she says.
While trying to retrace her steps mentally, Asya's mother says she found herself stumbling over signs she believes she missed.
"Sometimes she secluded herself from people and wanted to be by herself," says Patton.
Even Asya's final tweets spelled trouble. She wrote, "I love you mommy," and "said our goodbyes..."
"That's their internet diary," 17 year-old Allyssa Thomas says about Twitter.
Thomas says some teens tend to be private when it comes to their parents but not their peers.
"Most kids are on there, their parents aren't on there, and it makes them say and do things on Twitter cause their parents aren't around," Thomas says.
Patton is encouraging parents to change that and get more involved in their kids lives on and offline. She believes their presence could change and save lives.
Patton is launching the Asya Patton Project. They're holding a social media awareness day Monday, December 17th. For more information, click here.
Their goal is to give young people a safe place to communicate openly and rally against bullying.

HARROGATE, Tenn. — The Lincoln Memorial University baseball team has released the schedule for the 2013 campaign, head coach Jeff Sziksai announced Tuesday afternoon.
The Railsplitters are slated to play on 34 dates with 47 games on tap for the 2013 season, as they look to build on a 21-28 record in 2012. The Railsplitters will have 22 home games at Lamar Hennon Field. Among Lincoln Memorial's 19 opponents scheduled for this season, three appeared in the NCAA Tournament and four appeared in the national rankings.
"In addition to our always tough SAC schedule, our goal is to play the most competitive schedule possible within our region," said coach Jeff Sziksai. "We want to be battle tested when we enter conference play, and I feel like we will be by playing quality regional D-II opponents up and down our schedule.
"In addition, if we perform well in and out of our league, we want to be in position to make an NCAA regional, which is one of the goals every year. Our players are looking forward to playing another tough schedule, which will force us to compete at a very high level night in and night out."
Lincoln Memorial opens the season with a seven-game road stretch, beginning with the annual three-game weekend set at the University of South Carolina Aiken Feb. 1-3. The Pacers are one of those four teams on the Railsplitters' schedule that appeared in the national rankings last season, finishing the season ranked 20th in the final 2012 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper NCAA Division II Poll.
After that weekend, the Railsplitters make a mid-week stop at Claflin (Orangeburg, S.C.) prior to venturing to Florida Tech for a three-game set against the Panthers in Melbourne, Fla. (Feb. 8-9).
The Railsplitters will host their home opener on Feb. 12, as they welcome UVa.-Wise to the confines of Lamar Hennon Field for a one-game draw.
LMU will open SAC play on Feb. 15 with the first of three games at Anderson University.
In total, Lincoln Memorial hosts five South Atlantic Conference series this season, beginning with the Lions of Mars Hill (Feb. 22-23). The Railsplitters also welcome Wingate (Mar. 8-9), Newberry (Mar. 15-16), Carson-Newman (Mar. 29-30) and Lenoir-Rhyne (Apr. 12-13) to Harrogate this season.
Highlighted among the Railsplitters' 2013 schedule are road trips to Tusculum and Catawba, both of which competed in the NCAA Regional while appearing in the national rankings last season. The Railsplitters travel to Greeneville, Tenn., March 1 & 2 to take on the Pioneers, who were ranked in the top-three nationally for the greater part of 2012. Tusculum captured the South Atlantic Conference crown this past season with a 24-3 league record and a 48-10 overall mark.
They were trailed closely by the Catawba Indians, who advanced all the way to the championship series at the NCAA Division II World Series in Cary, N.C. Catawba finished with a 23-4 league mark and a 45-17 record for the season, ranking fourth in the final 2012 Collegiate Baseball Newspaper NCAA Division II Poll. The Indians will serve as the Railsplitters' final regular-season away series, as LMU is set to travel to Salisbury, N.C. April 5-6.
Following that weekend set, the Railsplitters host Alabama-Huntsville (April 10). UAH also appeared in the NCAA regional and the national rankings last season. The Chargers capped last season at 33-24 overall.
The Railsplitters close the regular season with a three-game home set against the Bears of Lenoir-Rhyne April 12-13. The 2013 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament is scheduled for the April 19-22.
With the fall schedule in the books, the Railsplitters are in the process of individual skill work, conditioning and weight training as they gear up for the quickly approaching 2013 season.

I've been thinking about what the current internet memes, most notably the "advice animals" can say about the human brain/mind. I know that in the "old days", there were folk sayings and folk wisdom, but now we have memes.
There are literally thousands of memes like these, with dozens of categories, created by people from all over the world. It appears that each meme in its category is grouped around a certain "cluster of symptoms". It appears to me that the point of the meme is to highlight a behavior that has been observed and name it. (Aside from some of them being hilarious)
These clusters of symptoms, result in a behavior that is:
- repeatable
- recognizable, at least part of the time
- exhibited by thousands of people around the world
Can these memes be explained by activity within specific brain regions? (ex: can socially awkward penguin be linked to overactive amygdala)? Has there been any studies on the subject?
Socially awkward penguin - is very socially awkward, avoids interaction with other people as much as possible.
Paranoid parrot - is anxious and paranoid
Foul Bachelor Frog - is filthy, unmotivated
Scumbag brain - all kinds of quirks of memory, attention, etc
