Beauty And The Beast: "King Beastie" Austin Basis Talks About Fated Romance
Beauty and the BeastInterviews Mar 10, 2014 Craig Byrne, Editor-In-Chief
Tonight at 9PM (ET), The CW is showing their last Monday episode of Beauty and the Beast for a while, and the remaining six episodes have yet to be scheduled. As we anticipate tonight's show, we figured now is a good time to share more of our interview with Austin Basis, the man who plays J.T. Forbes who also happens to be "King Beastie" in the hearts of fans.
Before starting with our interview, we asked Basis about the "King Beastie" name that he has inherited from fans on Twitter. Where did it come from? "I'm not quite sure," he says. "I don't think I named myself. That would be a little beyond my ego and my bravado. But I think I named someone 'Queen Beastie' because they were so active as a fan on Twitter… but then people were like 'if she is the Beastie Queen, then you're the Beastie King.' I probably said 'I only have room for one queen in my life and that's my wife'," he laughs.
Thanks to Twitter, Basis has served as a bit of an ambassador between the show and the show's very large online fan base. How and why did he get so involved?
"When I do something, whenever I'm on a team, in a game, I've never really been comfortable not giving 150%, and so when I'm part of something, whether it's an independent film or something that needs my support outside of just performing my role and being a part of the production, I've always done it. In college, I was kind of artistic, and I could draw, so if I was in a play, I would design the playbill, and we would probably get a T-shirt that I would design," he explains. "That was always part of feeding my creative need and desire, outside of just performing as an actor. In this case, it happened to be social media, and that's the way I'm able to connect with the fans, which is also a first for me, because when I was on Life Unexpected, Twitter had just started. They did a lot of Twitter events with The CW where we'd do CW Tweet Week or something, and that was an event, whereas now, it's kind of a more routine thing for actors, writers, directors on shows to communicate with the fans as the fans watch the show. I think it's a great relationship to honor, and to also continue. You also have to respect it, too. Just like anyone is trying to be a better actor, I feel like, as someone in the public eye, you look to other people that have done good things, and then you look to other people that have not used Twitter to its advantage, and you try to model yourself on what you'd like to be, and you proceed forward as best you can, and try to be the vision in your mind of someone that is accessible to the fans, but also respectful, and keeping things positive. I always want to put positive out there in the media or online, in social media, [and then] you should expect positive back. Tweet unto others as you would have them tweet unto you!"
The role of J.T. Forbes has become even more layered and exciting in Season Two, especially with the recent revelations of why J.T. always has had Vincent's back. "When we did the pilot, it was fairly early in pilot season, and my character, J.T., only had a couple of scenes," he recalls. "So, I did my work on those scenes, and thought of what their relationship was like before, and a lot of times in a pilot they'll leave it a little vague, so that they could develop it over the course of the show. So, in my case with J.T., I think he was the factor there – he has scientific abilities, intelligent, he has a sense of humor, he's a little on edge all the time… like he's had one to many Espressos and not enough sex… living with his best friend for ten years, I'm sure that was a factor."
"I am an actor of the training where you try to think about things that the audience wouldn't necessarily see, like backstory, what the character's thinking, where he was just before this scene happened… so you try to create this world around the scene, so that it's not just like you're just an actor playing a part, and just doing the scenes, so that the character has a life around the scenes that links their world in a way that the audience may never see, but will hopefully see in your performance, and as part of that, I wanted to understand where they were thinking about going with the characters, where they thought the characters came from. Their upbringing, and how they met, what their relationship was like. Were they just med school roommates, and really friendly and stayed friends, or were they friends from the beginning?" he continues. "Sherri Cooper, who is the person that I spoke to in between the pilot and the second episode last season, before we came up to Toronto to film the series, she said 'we don't know how this is going to happen ultimately, but we're thinking that J.T. is somehow responsible for Vincent becoming a Beast.' As an actor, that is amazing. To me, that sets it up so perfectly, as an actor, to play every scene with that guilt that drives you to do that. Go a little further than you would as a normal, loyal friend, and as you see J.T. over the course of the 30 episodes beforehand, it was like that. You'd say 'wow, he's a really loyal friend,' and then all of the sudden, they would be like 'would you do that for your friend?' I don't know if I would do this. You have to create the circumstances in which you would, and guilt along with love are very strong driving forces to what people do in life. So, if you love someone, there are things you would do that don't logically fit into what you would do in your life. They set up a perfect arc for me, and the question really, was just, only when it was going to come out. And if it never came out, I would always still have something driving me or helping me make choices of how far to go, as an actor, to play J.T. doing things for Vincent, whether it's stealing blood, or breaking into the Morgue, or risking his life with Muirfield. So, the fact that it finally came out was good," he says.
Basis is aware that some fans are not happy with some of the "VinCat" drama but implores them to stick with it. "I respect the act of the full season, and the fact that for an episode or two, or three, there may be a conflict between Vincent and Catherine. They don't have to kiss and make up at the end of every episode. It's not a procedural; it's a serial type of show where we're telling a story over a period of 22 episodes. I just think that [they should] have confidence and trust that we're telling the story of Beauty and the Beast — we're not telling the story of Beauty and Gabe, or Beast and Beast, or Tori and Beast," he says.
"We'll make it interesting and romantic in the sense that it's problems that people run into, and these are extraordinary circumstances, and there are extraordinary problems, and there's a deeper mythology that will unveil itself that will hopefully direct people back to the priorities at hand, of the story we're telling – Vincent and Catherine, Beauty and the Beast, and the mythology that connects them beyond their love and affection and feelings for each other, that they are fated to be together somehow. We just have to figure out why that is," he promises. "Whether or not Vincent and Catherine make out at the end of every episode, they are still always connected to each other. They'll never not be connected to each other. And I think there's stuff that happens that's interesting enough to tide people over and build up that anticipation of that moment when they come back together. And, the fact that the series of events leads directly to them coming back together. Everything's that happened in the last few episodes is all about them evolving to the point where they realize themselves, but also, that whatever information they learn allows them to see that they've been fated by powers beyond their control."
As for romance for his own character… could things happen with Tess and J.T.? "I think if J.T. had his druthers, it would definitely be on, and frankly, Nina and I have fun doing our scenes, because they're filled with jokes and great little moments, and I think that ultimately, there's a definite relationship. Whether it's for the long haul, or whether it'll be consummated this season… I think they're headed that way. J.T. is all in, and we'll just have to see if Tess reciprocates the feelings," he teases.
Beauty And The Beast is new tonight (March 10) at 9PM ET on The CW.

Why North Wales in THE 'must go to' holiday destination in the UK for 2018!
I started life in the South of England and have lived and moved around a lot in the UK, as well as having travelled extensively in the world. I moved to North Wales 20 years ago, and here I have stayed, and honestly, it still takes my breath away on a daily basis.
Wild Spaces and Raw Beauty
The combination of sea and mountain in such close proximity is one of North Wales's unique draws, but it's wow factor lies in the raw wild beauty it has bravely retained. One day you can be on an unspoilt beach in which you can do every conceivable watersport, the next wild swimming in a mountain lake, another exploring ancient woodlands, and then challenging yourself to climb one of the 96 mountain peaks, and finally, find yourself cycling along a crystal clear river and stopping for a spot of fishing. No words or images do it justice. Come and see for yourself!
World's first continuous coastal path
You can explore the rich and varied coastline on foot around the whole of Anglesey, Llyn Peninsula and parts of Snowdonia on the Wales Coastal Path. Whether you undertake a small section or commit to a larger area, you'll be treated to unrivalled coastal scenics and wildlife treasures such as porpoises, dolphins, puffins, red squirrels, and seals.
More Blue Flag beaches per mile than any other British Coastline
Yes, we have a total of 19 blue flag beaches in North Wales. You really can have your choice of bucket and spade beaches, secret rocky coves, vast expansive beaches with sand dunes, or the perfect beaches for rockpooling or clam and mussel foraging.
Adventure Activities and Adrenaline Attractions
One of the very many reasons that Lonely Planet nominated North Wales as the best region was for the emergence of a hub of unique adrenaline attractions and activities that have sprung up closely together. We have zip wires over quarries, trampolines in caves, the UK's first surfing wave garden, and an alpine coaster. And that is just for starters.
Alongside these unique attractions are adrenalin watersports such as kitesurfing, super fast rib rides, and coasteering. There is a huge range of well qualified, fun outdoor instructors who can help you improve or start from scratch, any activity you choose. Come and play in our beautiful adventure playground.
Dark Sky Status
North Wales was awarded Dark Sky Status in recognition of its significant attempts to reduce light pollution and its wonderful dark skies are now protected. I can assure you living here the darkness is very dark. Velvet blackness envelops you at night and the hundreds of stars are so easy to see. Here are some places that are particularly good for star gazing.
Bwlch y Groes: Bryn Uchaf, Machynlleth, SY20 9AH
Llyn Geirionydd: Llanrhychwyn, LL27 0YX
Llyn y Dywarchen: Rhyd Ddu, Drws y Coed
Llynnau Cregennen: Arthog, Dolgellau, LL40
Tŷ Cipar: Llyn Conwy, y Migneint
Return to simple pleasures
It's difficult to explain this as it's something you experience when you're here. The combination of raw beauty and lack of overdevelopment makes stopping, relaxing and remembering how to just "be" a whole lot easier. So come, take a deep, deep breath of the freshest air and let your soul breathe, and your body jump for joy because you've remembered how good it is to be alive.
Now, stay in a cottage that allows you to literally step out the door into all of these things...
We have cottages that are on the beach, on a lake, in the wilds of nowhere, in the centre of maritime towns. Find the one that most suits what you want out of your cottage experience. Whatever you choose you can be assured of a quality standard - take a look at our North Wales holiday cottages to begin your journey to this wonderful region.

Cache Valley, Utah is a beautiful place. It is a high mountain valley, home to Utah State University, where I spent my junior and senior years of college. It is also home to the Logan Utah LDS temple. This temple was built in the 19th century by hand, by pioneers that sacrificed to build it. They wanted the blessings of the temple for themselves and their families, such as being sealed as a family even after death.
Temples are sacred to members of my faith, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. To learn more, ask your mormon friends, or the LDS missionaries!

Diversification of seafarers' employability paths.

ACOMI, N. and ACOMI, O. 2016. Diversification of seafarers' employability paths.. In the European proceedings of social and behavioural sciences [EpSBS]; 15th World lumen congress [WLC 2016], 12-17 April 2016, Lasi, Romania. London: Future academy [online], pages 21-27. Available from: https://doi.org/10.15405/epsbs.2016.09.4.
Romania's admission following the extension of the EU and the globalisation of the maritime industry exposed Romanian employees to the maritime labour market. This market is characterised by increased competition determined by technological advancement and the emerging new Asian maritime nations. These conditions were exacerbated by the increased wage expectations of the European maritime manpower. On the demand side, the maritime industry has historically been characterised by lack of marine officers, in particular of senior rank, but the current slow global economic recovery and the weak commodity demand tend to level the scorecard. These changes affected the marine global labour market and led to structural unemployment among Romanian seafarers. Considering the traditional purpose of marine universities - to prepare marine officers, and the labour market needs - marine officers highly qualified in specific fields, this paper aims at identifying the skills required by marine industry and analysing the possibility to extend them to other positions/qualifications from the marine industry.

Many probably assumed that Stenberg's desire to make snow and skate style edits would fall off after a while, but some five years later, the passion is stronger than ever and even has a place in the X Games. Stenberg rallies around the Temecula area with friends plus filmer John Sanders in tow and together they whip out quick edits that remind us just how gnarly these dues can get on two-wheels. Here's the latest flick from the crew…

Looking for a new challenge it was by chance that I came across the sport of triathlon. Swim, bike, run? Sounded interesting. I could swim, I could run and you never forget to ride a bike
So I entered my first race, a sprint race in Norwich in July 2010, 750 metre open water, 20 km bike and a 5km run. All I needed to do was find a local club to train with and get some sound advice on triathlon. (Oh and get a bike and a wetsuit for the open water swim.) So I joined Dunmow Tri in January 2010. After completing the race in Norwich I did the Dunmow club tri in the September; and that was my first season in triathlon.
I looked into the sport more and with the knowledge and experiences from other club members found that there was not just the sprint distance, there was an Olympic distance (1500m swim, 40km bike, 10km run), a middle distance (1.9km swim, 90km bike and 21km run) and the Ironman distance. (3.8km swim, 180km bike, 42km run).
The plan was an Olympic distance in 2011, a middle in 2012 then the Ironman in 2013. After a bit of coaching or should I say coaxing, 2011 turned into 2 sprints, one Olympic and culminated with Challenge Henley, a middle, in the September. (A year ahead of schedule.) I went on holiday the day after the middle and struggled to walk up the stairs to the apartment.
2012 brought the Olympics to the UK and (what turned into) my first Ironman in the July, Ironman UK. I remember during the marathon telling my wife that I would never do another one, this didn't last long and I had entered the same race a few days after getting home.
I have now completed 8 Ironman races. In 2016 I did three, Ironman Mallorca, Ironman Maastricht and Ironman Lanzarote; all great races in different ways.
I have retired from the sport many times in 2016, (This has not been a good year for me and the 4th discipline in Ironman, nutrition.) but the finishing chute keeps me going back for more and preparations for next years races have already started.

ASUS shows off three new monitors, including a double wide 32:9
Subject: Displays | June 4, 2018 - 04:13 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: VG49V, ultrawide, PA34V, freesync, computex 2018, CG32UQ, asus, 3840x1080, 144hz
ASUS is showing off three very different displays at their Computex booth, one designed specifically for console games, one for those who like their 1080p displays doubled up and curved and one for those who use their monitor for creative purposes.
The CG32UQ is a 31.5" 4k display with HDR10 support and VESA DisplayHDR 600 compliance as well as 10bit colour, assuming your console can provide a compatible source. In addition to this list of features, the display uses FreeSync to vary the refresh rate between 40 to 60Hz to prevent tearing when you are pushing the console to the limits of its ability to send video to the display. As it is a gaming display there are a couple of unique features, two USB charging ports on the base to make sure your wireless controllers are always juiced, with two additional USB ports available for peripherals. Last, it comes with a remote which can control the displays OSD so you don't have to get up from the couch to change your settings.
Next up we have the professional ASUS ProArt PA34V IPS display, a 21:9 aspect ratio 31.9" monitor with a resolution of 3440x1440 and a 1900R curvature. The slightly lower resolution offers a wide adaptive sync window, from 40 to 100Hz. More important to the professional is this monitors ability to display the entirety of the Adobe sRGB gamut as well as letting you save colour profiles on the monitor itself, as opposed to your computer. Connections on this monitor include a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports, offering an impressive variety of ways to connect devices to your monitor.
The third one is the one you have been waiting for, as ASUS outdoes the Samsung C49HG90 Ken was so impressed by. The VG49V is also 49" of 32:9, 3840x1080 VA panel glory but it sports a proper 1800R curvature, no straight ends here! This monitor's FreeSync range covers 48 to 144Hz, perfect for high end gaming, with ASUS' Extreme Low Motion Blur kicking in at 85, 100, or 120Hz. The PR also mentions GameFast technology, which ASUS claims to have delivered input lag of 11.9ms when they tested the monitor.
Super Ultrawide
Ultrawide monitors have become an enormous trend in PC gaming over the last 3-4 years. In late 2014 when LG launched the first PC monitors with a 21:9 aspect ratio, I indeed was a skeptic. To me, it seemed like such a radical new aspect ratio would be wrought with game incompatibility, and wouldn't offer much of an advantage over two monitor setups for productivity.
And in the beginning, this was mostly the case. In 2014, games didn't even enable the option for 21:9 aspect ratio resolutions, and those that did, generally resulted in distorted image and FOV settings.
However, gamers wanted these ultrawide aspect ratio displays, and the game support soon followed. Now, ultrawide monitors are a staple of every monitor manufacturer's product lineup.
What we are looking at today though, is the most intense of all of the ultrawide monitors, the 49" Samsung CHG90. And it just so happens to be one of the first AMD FreeSync 2 displays.
Still in the ultrawide category, the CHG90 moves away from the more traditional 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratio to a wider and squatter 32:9. This aspect ratio allows Samsung to maximize the width of the CHG90 while keeping the display short enough not to engulf your entire wall.
Essentially, you can look at this display as two 27" monitors sitting side-by-side, without the pesky bezel in the middle. Similarly, the resolution of the CHG90 matches the effective resolution of two 1080p monitors sitting next to each other, with a total resolution of 3840x1080.
To achieve such a big display size in a still relatively usable form factor, the CHG90 display features a 1800R curvature. This figure refers to the measurement of the resulting radius that the display would make if it continued to make a full circle. For example, a 3000R display would have less of a curve than a 1800R display.
The curve on the CHG90 isn't quite like any other display we've seen, however. Due to the immense size of the display, the entire panel isn't curved. The curve stops about 6 inches from the edge of either side of the screen.

Hola mi muchachos! The TeenyLittleSuperChef is back and boy does it feel good to be in the kitchen again. Mi best amiga, Bella, and I had a wonderful time together, seeing all the sights, going for long walks in the park, licking the insides of each other's ears… so nice to have another culinary canine genius around again. She promised me that once she finds a decent picture of herself (oh women) she will write a guest post for the blog!
Enough about my absence though, time to get back to business. So last night, after mi amiga had left for the airport, I was feeling rather sad. So sad that I began drowning my sorrows in a large bag of Greenies and baby carrots. What can I say? I'm sometimes an emotional eater. Unfortunately, not only did I fail to feel any happier after eating my 13th carrot, but I also had a big stomach ache and knew I'd probably be paying later for all that fiber I had just consumed. So I put the bags away and decided instead of bingeing, I should create a new recipe that would remind me of my lovely friend and a trip to the Greek Isles we had taken a few years ago. Ahhh Greece. What a marvelous place for two little foodies to visit and explore. From the olives to the cheeses to the Spanakopitas, we were in total Mediterranean cuisine heaven. Not to mention all the nude beaches we came across. Finally we didn't have to feel weird about being the only ones not wearing pants.
So after looking through the contents of our refrigerator and discovering we had an unopened container of Feta cheese, I came up with a delectable Greek recipe in honor of my petite Poodle friend.
Bella's Greek Chicken Penne
16 oz Penne pasta
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
14 oz. can artichoke hearts, marinated or just in water
14.5 oz can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
3 tbsp fresh Parsley, chopped
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp dried oregano
6 oz can tomato paste
salt and pepper, to taste
1) Cook the pasta in a large pot until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2) Heat the oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink.
3) Reduce heat to medium-low and add all other ingredients (including pasta) except Feta cheese. Allow to simmer 10 minutes.
4) Add cheese and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to individual bowls. Top with additional cheese if you wish. I did 🙂
Holy delicious-ness! Or as mi mama kept saying, "This meal is awesome-sauce!" (her vocabulary is very limited, as you can tell. Don't worry, she will not be guest posting any time soon).
So the next time you're feeling blue and the urge for Greek food suddenly hits, give this dish a try. I promise it'll put a smile on your face. Or at least make you put down that bag of Greenies and baby carrots.
Now if you'll excuse me, there's a whole lot of housework needing to be done and the maid is off for the day. If only I could find something to keep the dirt and grime off my lovely fur.
Ahhh, much better. Adios my friends.

Opinion DiS (Album Of The Decade-centric)
I'm doing a competition for a website and I've been asked to pick 25 albums from the last 10 years, 2 from each year and then 5 wild cards. They've asked me to keep it pretty broad, and relatively mainstream.
Here's the list, is there any glaring ommissions, criminal inclusions?
Stankonia by OutKast
XTRMNTR by Primal Scream
The Blueprint by Jay-Z
Is This It? by The Strokes
Original Pirate Material by The Streets
The Last Broadcast by Doves
Hail To The Thief by Radiohead
Boy In Da Corner by Dizzee Rascal
Funeral by The Arcade Fire
Separation Sunday by The Hold Steady
LCD Soundsystem by LCD Soundsystem
Return To Cookie Mountain by TV On The Radio
Whatever People Say I Am, That Is What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys
Untrue by Burial
Neon Bible by The Arcade Fire
Dear Science, by TV On The Radio
Fleet Foxes by Fleet Foxes
Merriweather Post Pavilion by Animal Collective
Veckatimest by Grizzly Bear
Kid A by Radiohead
White Blood Cells by The White Stripes
Yankee Hotel Foxtrot by Wilco
Takk... by Sigur Rós
Dig!!! Lazarus Dig!!! by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds
I forgot one from 2003
Elephant by The White Stripes
the rules are
No Relationship of Command, no legitimate list
fuck good call....
I used Metacritic as my reference and that's not in their Top 30 for 2000.
If you're putting Xtrmntr abouve RoC, you're doing it because he asked you to be mainstream and you're scared people won't like it.
its not a very good album
a few strong tracks alot of filler
A mainstream list may appreciate Silent Alarm instead of the Hold Steady album.
well see the problem with that is....
Silent Alarm was out in 2004, so I'd stick that in as a Wildcard.
RE: RoC it wasn't on the list I was using as a reference, and so I've stuck it in above Stankonia. And but in Speakerboxx in 2003 with Radiohead.
Silent Alarm
Wikipedia has it as 2 Feb 2005.
you're right....
Google'd it and saw 2004 in the description. I really like that Hold Steady album anyway so it stays.
Silent album is a new Wildcard.JaguarPirate this'd this
Kick out Stankonia, because you've got Speakerboxxx
And put in 100 Broken Windows? :)JaguarPirate this'd this
Sufjan instead of
In no way should Neon Bible make the cut either (one Arcade Fire album is enough, thanks), which is why it should be replaced by Deerhunter's Cryptograms. And, as what is easily the comeback of the decade, Portishead whomp the crap out of Fleet Foxes for 08. Primal Scream is also kind of a headscratcher.
^ignore that (forgot the mainstream part)
Sufjan instead of Seperation Sunday (Boys And Girls In America, Imo)
Boys And Girls In America instead of Arctic Monkeys.
Portishead (they're mainstream enough, right) over Fleet Foxes any day. (I wish Deerhunter were mainstream enough, but alas)
For 07 I'd say Bon Iver over Arcade Fire, For Emma still sounds great.
nah Arctic Monkeys one has gotta go in...
doesn't it?
Because it's a fucking brilliant album.
Over compressed, but besides that, awesome.
Up The Bracket should be in this list.
.. I'm not sure if I understand the list, is it supposed your favourite albums or just kinda ones you think will be recognised as the best..
Anyway Comments.
I would say Kid A should be in the main list. I think it will be near the top of many lists and will most likely be above any other Radiohead Album released this Decade.
I don't think Dig!!! Lazurus!!! Dig!!! is a good call. It did push the Bad Seeds back into the mainstream more but Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus is generally rated much higher and I suspect will usually feature higher the Dig!!!.
Also the last few years seem to be more 'non-mainstream' then the others. I realise Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear are popular on here and not exactly obscure but they are still kinda niche, especially if you compare them to most of the other bands on the lists, which feature artists that have been some of the biggest artits in the world and country to some degree.
Though as I said maybe I mis-understood how the list was supposed to be compiled. Other albums that could be included from a 'mainstream point of view - The Libertines - Up The Bracket, Franz Ferdinands debut.
I wanted to jsut start it off, as I said before I used MEtacritic as my basis (as it's got Top Albums By Year) and picked a combination of a few of my favs, and a few good ones that might have been over looked, and also a bit more varied than a load of guitar bands, which I kind of know. Then wanted to get some feedback from here, about what ones I've over-looked, and also then make it a bit more varied.
All the feedback is good, the problem is then gonna be getting it under 25 albums, 2 a year etc.
"They've asked me to keep it pretty broad, and relatively mainstream."
So not to pick the albums of the decade then, just to pick the albums that people will already have heard of then?
Bit self defeating, telling folk stuff they already know isn't it?Luis_Carruthers this'd this
I have no idea
what the mainstream considerd palatable.
I think you have to put Kid A in the main list
I also wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I hadn't included Turn On The Bright Lights and Mama's Gun by Erykah Badu (which is not really the kind of album that gets brought up around these parts very often, but has absolutely everything going for it).
And The Hold Steady? I just don't get it. I really don't. But maybe that's just me!
yeah 2002 shouldn't be doves
The Streets & Interpol methinks.
Also Boy In Da Corner was 2003, not '04. So whack Franz Ferdinand in there in its place I'd say.
Pretty broad?....
25 albums over 10 years and you choose 2 from Radiohead, Arcade Fire,The White Stripes and TV On The Radio.
It's not wrong but dropping one of each would obviously give you chance to include more, such as an Eminem and/or a Wainwright.
for shame
Up the Bracket
Get rid of that fucking Doves shit.
I'm Wide Awake It's Morning
is my album of the decade. Do with that what you will.
Separation Sunday?
Really? I love the Hold Steady, but that record is nowhere near as good as 'Almost killed me' or 'Boys and Girls in America'.
If you want to give a fair approximation of the 25 best albums of the decade (which is tight!), I'd say you should pick each bands strongest effort. It frees up space to make the list a genuine collection of highlights, rather than say... Hail to the thief.
What is the competition..?
Like, do you win by them just liking your list, or, um, what?


text: Hello! Hi! Greetings! My name is Rayere and I have made this marvellous prefab of sniper having a pooty time. This download consists of two prefab *.vmfs: One for portable toilet and a "button" that activates interrupt group of fitting sniper voicelines. Second is box with all the logic setup you need (Timer, relays, cases and ambient_generics). Box, that logic entities come in grouped separately, so you can remove it, if you really want to. Times on these responses are as follows: Sniper by default has random delay of 10 to 20 secs between randomised responses. Interrupt messages by default can launch each 3 seconds. Launching one response blocks the other for 6 seconds to prevent multiple voicelines at the same time (that equals of minimum 16 seconds delay between interrupting sniper and him making random response again). IT IS NOT ADVISED TO PUT MULTIPLE OF THOSE IN!!! Model by Rexy Logic and idea by me (Rayere) Download

I've decided to make the roundel and fill in the hole in the base of the camera. Required a little sketching to make sure I could visualize what needed to be done:
Essentially, I'll make a round work piece 6-1/2″ in diameter (actually, just a hair less). I'll do this in 1/2″ mahogany, and cut the circle with a circle cutting jig on the bandsaw. Then I'll use appropriately-sized bearings on the rabbeting bit to rout the needed profile – first with a 3/8″ cut, then with a 1/4″ cut. Flip the thing over, rout a 1/4″ roundover along the edges, drill the hole for the thread insert tripod mount, and it'll be ready for finish and gluing.
I'll plane the mahogany to thickness this afternoon, and if I can tolerate the cold (yuck), I'll set up a rudimentary circle cutting jig and cut out the roundel. Routing the composite profile will be tomorrow.

The day my fart followed Santa up the chimney is a children's story. It is Christmas and it is snowing. Timmy decides to go outside sledding. When fart tells Timmy that he has never been sledding, Timmy gladly takes him for a ride.
Fart does not know what Christmas is either. He has never been around for Christmas and therefore, Timmy begins to explain everything there is to know about it. As Christmas Eve arrives, Fart walks down to see Santa and they have a sweet conversation together.
I have read Timmy and Fart's adventure for a while now and each time I have enjoyed their adventures. The books have a very stylish and pleasant illustration of its stories and the subject matter has always been suitable for its target audience.
I particularly enjoyed the part where fart fly's away with Santa and stay up all night with him.
I recommend this book to parents that are looking for a fun read and enjoyable story for their children.

Yesterday's story about the goat-toss reminded me of the old "WKRP in Cincinnati" episode about how, for a Thanksgiving promotion, the station decided it would be fun to throw a whole bunch of live turkeys out of a plane over a football field. Hundreds of happy families gathered below for the big event. Unfortunately, domestic turkeys don't fly any better alive than they do frozen: the hapless (but purely fictional) fowl dropped like boulders--or maybe more like big feathered water balloons, splatting nightmarishly on the ground below.
dramatic, far less well-publicized, but very real was the old Cordell,
Oklahoma, Thanksgiving turkey drop. I found out about that bygone
event on a webpage devoted
to Cordell memories, among which was this:
And now they expect computers and video games. What the heck has happened to kids, anyway?
Back to the topic...
Aw, shucks.
Now, here is a newsy little bit from Yellville, Arkansas (yes there is such a place...the Saint Report does not lie). Incidentally, the web page that originally held this is now defunct.
Yeah. Who says you need big govmint. Arkansas, incidentally, has only 41 dentists per 100,000 population, which puts it at number 49 nationally. Coincidence?
Saints o' the day include, but are not limited to, Dwyn, Praejectus, Ananias, and Poppo. Today is also the celebration of The Conversion of St. Paul.
Edwin Newman, author of several brainy books on language, gets 89 candles on his birthday cake today (2008).
Also born today was Robert Burns (1759-1796). If you feel like honoring his memory today, go put on something plaid and read May 23 - Haggis.

Natural pathBy Tara Whitsed
James Guan, 27, always wanted to be a pianist.
Coming from a musical family, it was the natural path for the Australian National Piano Award finalist.
Already taking to the stage for the awards in 2012, Mr Guan will return this year to battle it out, hoping to ''play some awesome music''.
He said he enjoyed the fact he could play the equivalent of a full orchestra on a single instrument when playing the piano.
Based between Perth and Sydney, Mr Guan said he hoped to build toward a teaching career in Sydney while still maintaining his performing activities.
''I just want to learn and play awesome pieces available to the instrument,'' he said.
Inspired by his girlfriend who plays the violin, Mr Guan travels to Perth to stay with her every two weeks, where they rent a house together.
Mr Guan has studied at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music Primary School, Sydney Conservatorium of Music High School and the Sydney Conservatorium of Music under Dr Paul Rickard-Ford, where he was the recipient of the Vimpani and Bessie Cook Scholarship and the Nugawela Scholarship.
He has frequently performed in Australia, New Zealand, China, the United Kingdom, Spain and Italy and has performed with orchestras such as the Tait Chamber Orchestra in London, Shanghai Opera Symphony Orchestra and the Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

Both sides of the tracks are the wrong side,
if you live close enough to them.
if you live close enough to them.
— Ross Macdonald
That the Coen Brothers plan to turn Ross Macdonald's Black Money into a film is reason to go on.
"Macdonald matters because he's one of the finest fiction writers in American literature, not just detective fiction," says biographer Tom Nolan.
Macdonald learned to write in graduate school from teachers like W.H. Auden and Cleanth Brooks, who taught him that not only every word, "but every line, every sentence, every little block is integrated into the whole, and everything should have equal weight to create a unified work of art and beauty," Nolan says.
"The things that are most interesting and appealing about him, and valuable to people still, are the beauty of the expression, of the language, the beauty of the prose, which has poetic qualities and is informed by a great lyric talent."

Government policy decisions of yesteryear had limited impact on the world –at large because of far fewer people and less potent technology. Today we have both the population numbers and technical means to impose truly environment changing (even earth shaking) actions on our planet.
We now live in an age where it is no longer appropriate for our leaders to make decisions and proposals whose consequences do not look beyond the next election and well into the future. To ignore future ramifications is irresponsible. In life as in the game of Chess, if you leave yourself no resources for the end of the game, you lose. Are we expecting the second coming to occur before we reach our end game here on earth? I require personal responsibility of myself and those around me and sometimes dream that government might do the same. These dreams are usually pretty unpleasant as we seem to have all but lost the traditional approach of leading by example.
Two of today's biggest political issues are the economy (jobs) and the national debt. Many solutions have been mentioned, but I don't recall any of them including a conclusion…an end game…a happy ending (?):
· More jobs – then what? More production requires the use of more resources to supply more people – driving up costs and leading to the need for ever more jobs. And then what? Is there any end in sight? Perhaps a better approach would be to reduce population to a point where there was a job for everyone (!). Our civilization has no rules for the game of life…notice that we limit the individual use of water and at the same time build more dams to supply more water. Why do we need to limit water use? Is it so that we can squeeze more people on to the planet, build them more suburbs, sell them more stuff, and tax them to build more dams?
· If we zero out the national debt – then what? Do we start all over again? Swear supply off borrowing forever? Do we just let future generations struggle with the whole mess? Is the idea that it's OK to be head over heels in debt? That's just not my inclination – I find myself repelled by too much dependency and attracted towards self-sufficiency.

City of Peterborough Swimming Club (COPS) are once again celebrating a massive victory in the National Arena Swimming League.
The city club made it through to the national final in Cardiff - the FA Cup Final of swimming events - in style by clinching the East Midlands Premier League title in Coventry over the weekend.
They won the final round of three by a huge 41-point margin to claim their third East Midlands Premier League title in four years.
They went into the third round in second place behind Northampton, but a superb effort from all age groups saw them finish top in the overall league standings to clinch a coveted place in the 2015 national final.
The final scores at Coventry were: 1 COPS 245pts; 2 Northampton 204pts; 3 Milton Keynes 185pts; 4 UEA Norwich 145pts; 5 West Suffolk 135pts; 6 Nottingham 130pts.
COPS won an impressive 24 of the 50 races and finished with podium places in 43 of those 50 races.
And for the first time in COPS' history both the ladies and men's 6x50m freestyle relay teams won their events.
The stand-out age-group for COPS was the 15 years & under girls, where they won every event.
The open girls, 13 years & under girls and 15yrs & under boys all finished in the top two in their respective races.
Team captains James Newton and Taylor Goodby picked up the East Midlands trophy.
Head coach Ben Negus said: "I was absolutely delighted with our team's attitude. The sheer determination of our swimmers to finish on that wall before anyone else was excellent and in the end it crushed our opposition.
"It just goes to show how important it is to pull together for your team-mates and perform your best without doubt and with total conviction.
"I am proud of this victory. Our team did a great job."
The COPS B team meanwhile finished second in their final fixture in Division Two to claim third place overall, just missing out on promotion.
There were individual wins by Josh Graves, Amelia Monaghan and Daniel Powell with the boys 13 & under relay team of Herbie Kinder, Matthew Wouldham, Henry Pearce and Sean Doyle winning both races.

World markets started the new week on a steadier note after Friday's first retreat in the MSCI world index after 10 straight gains. But for all the jitters about the impact of a higher euro on European companies, a pullback in oil prices and some eye-catching misses in the U.S. earnings season, the big picture has not changed significantly.
That was underlined by a fresh erosion of implied volatility on Wall St on Friday, with the Vix volatility index hitting its lowest since December 1993. It was also reinforced by the International Monetary Fund's latest forecasts, which maintained its upbeat 2017 and 2018 outlook for the global economy despite some rotation of the national and regional drivers.
While the global economy is still expected to expand 3.5 percent this year and 3.6 percent next, forecasts for the U.S. were trimmed due to scaled-back fiscal stimulus expectations. But forecasts for the euro zone, notably for Italy and Spain, were revised higher. A poor start to the year for the UK saw downgrades there, but China's GDP outlook brightened.
This week's Q2 GDP releases for many of the major economies will be a reality check, as will global flash PMI business surveys for July out later on Monday.
It's also a heavy week for Q2 earnings on both sides of the Atlantic. While Friday's disappointment at GE's update grabbed the attention, aggregate profit growth for the U.S. season so far is running ahead of expectations at just shy of 10 percent.
Japanese and Australian stocks underperformed with losses during a mixed Asia trading session earlier, with Chinese indexes higher. MSCI World is flat, with many now watching to see if it's a case of '10 steps forward, one step back' or the beginning of a more protracted retreat.
The dollar index was higher so far on Monday, with euro/dollar slipping back after setting a new 23-month high of $1.1684 earlier. Ten-year U.S. Treasury yields were firmer too. Brent crude recaptured $48 after Friday's slide, with an eye on a ministerial meeting between OPEC and non-OPEC members later. European stocks are expected to open higher, reclaiming about 0.3 percent of Friday's euro-related shakeout.

"Howie so naturally slips into the physicality of his role as William, a museum security guard, that several times he disappears in plain sight."
"That's the way to do it. They're really good." My companion, an HR honcho at an international hotel chain, is seriously impressed by the smooth operation of the ushers who are taking us around the National Museum. They're moving several dozen people from point to point through the usual Saturday throng of visitors. With smiling (but ruthless) efficiency we are maneuvered into the best spots from which to view the drama unfold.
The lads are in rather splendid tartan waistcoats, the lasses in sashes. Half the waistcoats and sashes are backed in gold, the other in blue. The intention is to help orientate the tour's two tracks. The effect is to fill the NMS entry concourse with figures costumed like they are serving command and science roles aboard the USS Excelsior – the starship on which Scotty served as Captain.
Peter is being forced to take stock. The long retired museum worker is moving on. Surrounded by boxes and boxes (and more boxes) of mementos, he sets out on a journey into his past punctuated by the stories held in each carefully cherished item. As is revealed to his acerbic young assistant, Sally, Peter's story involves both love and loss. He can hold onto objects but struggles to remain close to people.
The underlay of writer Adrian Osmond's narrative weave is a satisfyingly springy comic conceit – a retired museum worker who is also a compulsive hoarder. John Edgar as Peter perfectly balances the sympathy due to his elderly character without ever flinching from exposing those curiosities in Peter's personality which make him such an oddball.
Teri Robb as Sally is Edgar's idea foil. Her reactions, together with her growing understanding of Peter, pilot us through the script's twists, turns and flashbacks. Robb is the valve through which we can all let off steam.
We see Peter as a young man bashfully courting Alice, his muse. Rising star Derek Darvell justifies his reputation as one to watch by filling out Edgar's portrayal of Peter with intricate touches and touching intricacies. Nicola Tuxworth as Alice is poised and stylish – it's not hard to see why Peter fell so hard for her.
Brilliant. It's the only word to describe Stephen Tait as the bumptious, terribly busy Professor Stone, proprietor and chief curator of Peter's museum. From the deadpan bossiness with which he opens proceedings, through the pitch perfect comic timing of his lecture on the nature of objects, to the final scenes in which he closes the drama, Tait offers up a masterclass in disciplined, pacy work.
The pairing of Tait with Mark Howie is pure genius – the best since someone put David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst in a room together. Howie so naturally slips into the physicality of his role as William, a museum security guard, that several times he disappears in plain sight. As Stone's shadow, William deflates his pomposity even while building up his boss' authority.
Osmond's script is a triumvirate of duos with one exception. Emma McCaffrey as Bridget plays a bad hand well. Without a partner to whom she can position her delivery, too much of her performance is lost in the cacophonous hubbub of the venue. Noise bleed was more than a problem. Especially in the early scenes it became the woolly mammoth in the Renaissance Gallery. Too often it was a real strain to hear what was going on. The impact of the final scene was lost altogether when we stood under a gantry echoing with footsteps overhead.
Since it's the fashion to believe that under-10s learn best by osmosis, I tend to avoid the museum at weekends, when it's packed with noisy children learning about the stone age through proximity to arrowheads. Staging a mature drama amid the shrieking hordes of Tamsins and Hamishes was a daft idea.
It's a real shame because so much of the staging was so clever and engaged. The tent in the Neolithic Room, the pine cones by the Roman headstones – devices which set the scene and dressed the stage with the speed and clarity of a signal lamp. Not since Henry VI Part III has a paper crown been used to such effect as it was in Stone's lecture.
Set against a haunting backdrop of live music, which sent a thrill down the spine, director Maria Oller delivered a Scandinavian-style flatpack of concepts quickly assembled by a well drilled yet fluid company. The Hold set weighty ideas on a very human scale. This hard working, talented cast deserved the serenity of an after hours outing.
