The world needs more artists like Butch Walker. Here's a guy who just delivers great rock songs like it's his job, and well, it is his job. Because in addition to being an amazing artist and songwriter, Walker is one of the most sought-after producers in the business, having worked with the likes of Pink, Bowling For Soup, Avril Lavigne and countless others. Walker's new album, Sycamore Meadows, is his most compelling work yet -- honest, powerful and with an unwritten disclaimer that the songs will stick in your head for weeks. We had the chance to talk to him about that and more.
Bullz-Eye: Hey Butch.
Butch Walker: Hey Mike. How are you, buddy?
BE: Good, man. How are you doing?
BW: I'm good. Just getting ready to go into the studio.
BE: Yeah. Who are you in the studio with?
BW: I'm working with this hard rock band called Saosin.
BE: Oh, okay, I've heard of them.
BW: Yeah, I'm doing their next record.
BE: Cool. So dude, I've been a big fan for a long time, from the Marvelous 3 days.
BW: Oh thanks man.
BE: Yeah, and Sycamore Meadows, in my mind, is your best work.
BW: Oh, well thank you. I think that most artists think that their latest record is their best work, so I'm really glad that a lot of other people feel that way. That's awesome. Thank you.
BE: Do you feel that way anyway, that it is your best work, or just because it is your latest project?
BW: No, I think it's a special record. I think it wasn't just me going in the studio and making another record just to do another record. Sometimes that just happens because you feel like, "Okay, I gotta start thinking about another record now," just because it's been a year or something like that or just because you feel this sense of entitlement to do it for your fans and for the sake of your artist career. I don't really. I guess it's old news about the fires (Walker lost his house in SoCal wildfires in late 2007), but before that happened, I really wasn't inspired to make a record. I was like, "Well I really don't want to make a record right now because I really don't feel anything." And of course when things get swept out from under you, it's like all of a sudden there's a lot to talk about.
BE: Sure. Actually my next question was, nobody wants to lose their house to a fire, and of course it had to be devastating thing. I wanted to know if you felt any sort of obligation to write songs about your experience as a form of therapy to yourself, or to help others cope with the same thing?
BW: Yeah, I think there was definitely some therapy. I think there are a couple of kind of confessionals on the record, that I don't know if I would have ever really written if something like that hadn't have happened.
BE: You're known more so as a producer these days than you are as an artist, at least in mainstream pop circles.
BW: Yeah, ironically.
BE: What do you look for in the projects you produce, and is there anything you're doing now that you're particularly excited about?
BW: I guess a lot of times I just do records to have something to keep me from getting bored with trying to be so self-obsessed musically all the time, and doing things for myself. It gives me some space and dimension maybe, and somebody else might inspire me for my own music when it comes time to do that. So I think that that helps. I can't think of anything in particular right now, one example per se, but there are plenty of examples where I've enjoyed what I do for a "day job," so to speak. And sometimes I do those things just for strictly the love of it because I'll be really passionate about something and believe in it whole-heartedly. And then sometimes I'll do it for the money, you know? It will just be too easy and too good to turn down, and I think that's just too natural to want to do stuff like that. No, it's great. Getting to where I've gotten based on learning the craft, that's one of the perks of the job. It's no different than Snoop Dog or Death Cab for Cutie getting asked to do a corporate gig for IBM or something like that, to play to 13 people in suits and ties for 13 grand. So I sort of do the same thing in my day job. But I like the fact that me being an artist, I run with my own pack and do my own thing and it stays extremely liberal and what I want to do.
BE: Well good, that ties in to my next question. The reviews for Sycamore Meadows have been very positive as far as I've seen. But I'm guessing you are more concerned about what fans think?
BW: Oh sure, it's nice to see people who normally hate everything say great things about your own record. Especially the ones who hate everything you normally do. But then again, I don't spend a lot of time listening to those peoples' opinion. But I definitely can tell you when fans don't like something. And without them, why would I bother making records and going out and touring? I could just play in my basement to my dogs. I don't want to alienate, but I also want to do my own thing and it's tricky because I don't like doing the same record every time.
BE: I can't imagine your fans not liking anything you've done. Has that happened?
BW: Yeah, it's definitely happened. Sometimes passionate hatred. But I think that also goes because there's a really weird dynamic mix of people that are my fans. And it's not like emo or whatever, where it's this strict character that comes to follow those bands. They don't all have the same clothes and the same haircut and the same album collection. It's like all over the map. And that's good and bad because what becomes one's favorite record sometimes becomes another person's most hated record, because I'll do something so different.
BE: Interesting.
BW: I mean I don't go like, "Oh, Butch made a country record." It's always been pop/rock and roll. It's just for some reason I've got just as many fans that only like me when I'm yelling or being funny or whatnot and jumping up and down on a pogo-stick while playing a fancy lead guitar. And they get mad when I sing a heartfelt emotional song, and if there's an album full of them. And there's people that hate that other side of me and only like the troubadour side of me.
BE: Well I could imagine you've pleased a lot more people with this new album than on previous records.
BW: And that's just a bonus. But honestly with this record, I don't want it to sound like I was just saying I only make records for fans, because that's not true. I don't think I have enough of them for that to matter, really. I think it is important and therapy for me to get out my song ideas just for myself. It's almost just like documentation.
BE: Right. When you sit down to write, do you consciously write for yourself or for somebody else to record?
BW: No, I just write. I write whatever comes out, and sometimes it comes out so blatantly obvious it's not for me, and I'll keep writing it and finish it, and it will be an idea to start for someone else or end up on their record. But it's too hard to tell, because you just can't fight or stop a notion to write something when you sit down to do it, or when you come from so many different styles of music and influence.
BE: Right, absolutely. Well my next question was, who were the artists you grew up listening to and wanting to emulate?
BW: Well I guess when I first started listening to music, I really loved rock and roll and heavy metal and stuff like that. When I grew up, I'd just stare at this Elvis Presley record that my Mom had, and then I flipped over The Monkees because they were on TV everyday and I got to see them and it was funny and they were cool-looking and then their songs were super catchy. I don't even think I had heard the Beatles yet. So The Monkees were my first Beatles. And I actually bought the record, well not with my own money, but I made my Mom buy it off of TV, the original Internet, whenever they would have those TV spots: "For $5.99, the Monkees Greatest Hits." I think I was in first grade or something like that, and I just wore that record out. And I remember freaking out over hearing the Beatles and thinking how much they sounded like The Monkees. And then I heard "I Want to Hold Your Hand." I had that 45 and I wore that out. And then, I was not playing music at the time, but when I started playing music, it was all about Kiss and Van Halen. The first Van Halen record blew my mind. Same with the first KISS record, and then every KISS record after that. Then Motley Crue came along and replaced KISS for me. Same thing, different make-up. So I started playing guitar and learning all these songs. And then new wave obviously made me appreciate melody. I think it was just a weird mix of all of those things. And then later in life, when I knew better and could discern one style of music and a good artist from a bad artist, I started really getting into the storytellers and the verbose lyric writers, like Elvis Costello and Billy Joel and Elton John, Bernie Taupin and Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty. So much Tom Petty. Just all kinds of stuff. It really is no wonder that when I make records for myself, that they're never going to sound like the same song over and over.
BE: Yeah, absolutely. I can hear all of those artists and styles that you just mentioned in your music-- a little bit of everything, which is really cool.
BW: Right, well cool.
BE: So the music industry has obviously changed a lot in the past 10 years, and in some ways it hasn't. How do you see it now as opposed to how you saw it a decade ago?
BW: I definitely see the biggest change that has come along, and it's a positive one, in the amount of freedom that the artists have these days. As opposed to where when you signed a contract to a major label back in the day, you pretty much lost all your liberties. And now to get people to sign to a record deal, you have to offer these artists almost total complete control. And the reason why is because it is becoming less and less valuable to sign with a major label, when they don't really do anything for you except they're a small bank, and most of them are bankrupt now. And they don't do anything for you. They're signing bands that are already good, or they're already done. Or they're just signing shit and throwing it out there and seeing if it sticks. So I feel like if anything, it's great because the digital age has done as much bad as it's done for the quality of music per se. And maybe people rely more on computers and less on talent. It's also gotten more music available and out there to listeners because we used to just be slaves to whatever was on the radio and god knows that's a dying format.
BE: (laughs) Yeah, I think it's dead at this point.
BW: Well right. I mean my favorite station in the world out here (in Los Angeles), Indie 103, which was the only station in America that played listenable, good indie rock and really awesome, creative new bands is now a Latin station. It only lasted a few years.
BE: Ugg, that's awful.
BW: It's terrible. And all hope definitely was gone for me at that point. I was like, "Well, time to buy Sirius for my car."
BE: Yeah, and even that gets kind of repetitive after a while with their play lists.
BW: Yeah, if you listen to it for eight hours straight, you're going to hear it over and over. And it's in the same order. Yeah, that's bad. Because they've cut the commercials out, basically you hear the play list go through quicker. Whereas on the radio, there are so many commercials, it dilutes the fact that you're only hearing the same five songs in sequential order over and over again.
BE: (laughs) So you're heading out on tour soon. What's your favorite part about being on the road these days? And what's your least favorite part?
BW: I think my favorite part about being on the road is that it's like a boys' club. I don't get a lot of that in my life these days, as hard as I stay working in the studio and as much as I want to spend time at home and be with my family and all that. It's not really a chance for me to go out and act like a 12-year-old again, until I go on the road. And so when I go out, it's me with my best-friend drinking buddies from Atlanta that I've known for years and that I love to be around, and it's fun and inspiring and we're just nomads, you know? We rape and pillage the towns. And we go in and steal all their beer and crank our music on the bus and go to the next town and do it again. It's so much fun and I love it. The down side to doing it? Ah, it gets old. So, then I want to get back to the reality of being an adult. But it's a nice cathartic little release for me, and it's also amazing to get back out there and flex my social skills, and talk to fans and meet new people along the way and hang out with old friends.
BE: Right on. On this tour you're offering fans the opportunity to hang out with you at sound check. What brought that about?
BW: I just wanted to do something different this time, instead of like, "Here's a t-shirt for being the first 30 people in the door." It was really cool to give them the scenario where not only can they see the unglamorous side of it, because I've never tried to put up a front that way. I've always tried to be the same on stage as I am off with people, and just be real with people as much as I possibly can these days. So there's no harm, no foul in coming in and hearing how shitty my voice sounds in the afternoon as opposed to at night when I've been road-worn, and hearing us make mistakes and work through songs and listen to feedback. Maybe if anything it makes people appreciate the show when they see how it comes together when we're in front of an audience, as opposed to at sound check when it's pretty unglamorous and pretty un-sexy. Everybody's up there in their pajamas, our hair is all fucked up and we sound like trolls. It's definitely not the show vibe.
BE: Do you have any worries about any stalker-types getting into this thing?
BW: Sure! I mean, no real worries. I've got my fair share of them, so I guess the more the merrier.
BE: (laughs) Right.
BW: Or the more the scarier.
BE: Right on. So, what's next for you as an artist, or is it too soon to ask that?
BW: I just want to tour on this record. I want to play this record to death till I'm sick of it. I'm not sick of it. I just released it. And I'm really excited about going out and playing a lot of it. I think I'll be happy like this for a while.
BE: One last question, are you a football guy?
BW: Man, I haven't followed any sport in so many years. I'm so bad.
BE: Just wanted to know your pick for the Super Bowl.
BW: Well let me even get this straight -- it's going to be the Cardinals and the Steelers?
BE: Correct.
BW: Okay, at least I got that part right. I would have to say I don't even know what city the Cardinals are from, so I guess I would have to say "Go Pittsburgh" because they've got a lot of team spirit. Pittsburgh's a good town for me too, so I'll somehow turn it around and make it about me.
BE: Sounds good. All right, Butch. Well good luck on the tour and good luck with the album. It was great talking to you.
BW: Okay buddy. Thank you so much.

Released two years ago in their native Sweden (where it went to number one and sold, like, loads or something), only now does the UK get their ears around Melody Club's debut album. So, was it worth the wait? Whaddaya think...?
That 'Music Machine' reached the dizzy heights of the top slot on Sweden's album chart tells us two things: one, that despite their excellent and affordable, flat-pack furniture, the Swedes really don't know good music from utter crap; and two, that Sweden's pop musicians are stuck in some sort of timewarp, where 1980s in-your-face synths rule supreme over all things rock and roll. It'd be acceptable if you could dance to it, but this incomprehensibly bland tripe wouldn't have been tolerated back when it was vaguely in vogue, so it's not got a snowball's proverbial of making the cut in today's market. Really, with a name like Melody Club I demand that my toes are tickled by tunes; 'Music Machine' makes them want to kick my stereo in over and over again.
Worth the wait then? Only if you're some kind of sleazy masochist that delights in self-administered aural torture. Avoid like you would a randy Ulrika Johnsson.

The 90s may be alive and well in Portland but two hours south in Eugene, Oregon the 60s are flourishing like a flower child. From tie dye, tattooed and topless to forest fairies and free-spirit skippers, the hippie in everyone comes crawling out of the closet for three days each summer at the Oregon Country Fair.
In as bohemian of garb as I could gather (and feel comfortable in), I wandered through the looping forest paths. Lined with moss-cover huts filled with vendors, delicious local foods and colorful crafts, the fair grounds unwound through the lush green fields just 15 minutes east of Eugene in a fantasy splendor like Narnia's version of the red carpet.
To my right a half-cheetah with devil horns growled by and then to the left a couple of bloomed dandelions strolled hand-in-hand. Hardly able to wipe the grin from my face out of pure joy, I dizzily walked the festival and simply enjoyed getting lost and people watching. Traveling the same route several times without even realizing the similarities, I'd zigzagged through the crowds pulled by my curiosity to view art tucked in nooks and crannies or to stop to listen to a rousing concert by a vagabond musical tribe.
A phantasmagoria of sights, smells and smiles – I have never experienced such a varied festival – or a more welcoming one. Each character at the Oregon Country Fair strutted their stuff like a true individual and showed no fear to standing out.
Combining music, the arts and a whole lot of free-spirit, the Oregon Country Fair celebrates acceptance with endless free hugs. Its a place where anyone – and I mean anyone – can get there hippy on.
Pulling everyone together – the 100% daily hippies, families and even a Hurley clad bro – the Oregon Country Fair offers free hugs to difference.

Zach Galligan of "Gremlins" fame and Cody Blue Snider of Dee Snider's son fame have been added to the cast of "Hatchet 3" as a sheriff and police officer, respectively. Is that the right way to use "respectively"? I have no idea but I've always wanted to use it. Check that one off the bucket list!
Baseball may be the most god awful boring sport to watch but damn it all if I don't love spending a Saturday getting drunk on the couch watching the Mets crush my hopes and dreams. But I'll admit it could use a lot more violence, like in the upcoming big screen adaptation of the "Sullivan's Sluggers" graphic novel. The story follows a down and out baseball manager who, along with his team, must battle their way out of a monster infested town. Like "The Bad News Bears" but with people getting murdered.
Horror and topless vet Debbie Rochon is set to hop into the director's chair for the first time with a new film titled "Model Hunger". The film tells the story of what happens when the modeling industry pushed a girl too far and she lashes out. The only modeling jokes I know have to do with coffee and cigarettes and I'm pretty sure they've moved on to some sort of weird drug by now so I'm just going to run along.
The Lifetime network, probably the first time it's been mentioned on this site, has a new series in the works based on Clarice Starling, the sassy FBI agent that brought down Buffalo Bill in "The Silence Of the Lambs". The show will be called "Clarice"... clever... and will follow the young agent on her journey shortly after graduating. That's all I'm saying... I've been accused of hating woman too many times... I bet she'll burn an ex boyfriend's bed... ALRIGHT that's the only thing I'll say.

ESAC, the European Space Astronomy Centre, is the 'home' of ESA's space-telescope and planetary missions, the place from where science operations are conducted, and where all of the scientific data produced are archived and made accessible to the world.
Telescopes in space are humankind's eyes in the heavens: from their superior observing positions high above Earth's atmosphere, they provide us with astounding views of the Universe at many different wavelengths. ESAC is where the instruments providing these views are operated and where these views become available for scientific study. Signals from black holes, from distant galaxies, from neighbouring planets and even from planets far beyond the Solar System are beamed back to the Madrid countryside.
ESAC has been chosen as the site for the Science Operations Centres (SOCs) of ESA Science missions for both astronomy and the Solar System. This means ESAC is rapidly evolving into a scientific hot-spot, a meeting point for top-level international space scientists working in different, but closely-related areas.
The archives for all of ESA's astronomy and Solar System missions are kept at ESAC so researchers have a single 'entry point' for accessing the wealth of scientific data. Data from the ISO, XMM-Newton, Integral, Herschel, Planck and SOHO missions and from the interplanetary spacecraft Mars Express, SMART-1 (the Moon), Rosetta (Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko), Huygens (Titan), Venus Express and Giotto (Comet Halley) are already available in ESAC's state-of-the-art archival system, and are regularly consulted and retrieved by more than 3000 registered users.
Before ESAC became an ESA Centre, the site was essentially an ESA Telemetry, Tracking and Commanding (TT&C) station. In this context, the site still maintains some support to the ESA Directorate of Operations and Infrastructure in the operations of several ESA satellites. There are currently three antennas at ESAC, belonging to ESTRACK identified as VIL-1, VIL-2 and VIL-4.
ESA's 35m diameter deep-space antenna for Europe is located in Cebreros (Avila) and supports the activities of ESAC by gathering data from distant missions to Mercury, Venus, Mars and beyond.
ESAC is also involved in Earth Observation activities. ESAC hosts the Payload Operations and Data Processing Ground Segment of the ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS), second Earth Explorer satellite. Launched in November 2009, SMOS is designed to observe soil moisture over Earth's land surfaces and salinity in its oceans, which are exactly the kinds of data urgently needed by experts studying the global climate system, and also feeds data in near real time to improve mid term weather forecast. ESAC takes care of the payload programming for SMOS, receives all the scientific data transmitted to ground, and generates and disseminates the final products to the community.
ESAC hosts the team for the new European Space Situational Awareness (SSA) Preparatory Programme. The SSA initiative will provide Europe and its citizens with complete and accurate information on objects orbiting Earth, on the space environment and on threats coming from space.
With the growing importance of ESAC, a dedicated and joint Corporate ESAC Communication and Education Office has been created. For communication, the office is responsible for official ESA communication activities in Spain and Portugal, organisation of launch and major events at the centre and coordination of launch events in major universities and national institutions and interactions with the media. For education, the office coordinates projects with universities and educational centres all over Europe, notably on the fields of System Engineering, Satellite Navigation, Science and Microgravity research.
ESAC site also hosts the Spanish Laboratory for Space Astrophysics and Fundamental Physics (LAEFF), an innovative research facility aimed mainly at encouraging young Spanish scientists to enter the fields of astrophysics and fundamental physics. LAEFF was founded in 1991 as a collaboration between INTA, CSIC and ESA, and was located at ESAC to allow for closer interaction with the ESA astronomical activities.
Their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Asturias formally inaugurated on 7 February 2008 ESA's European Space Astronomy Center.

So he combined his love for cars and his children's health to form the East Coast Car Association Blood Drive, a twice-annual event that helps support the medical center.
In 2007 Walter passed away, but the club he left behind kept on with the tradition he started, and on Sunday more than 50 cars converged on the Maspeth Federal Savings parking lot, where they pitted their rides against each other for bragging rights, trophies and deep discounts on auto parts and repairs from several sponsors.
ECCA Master of Ceremonies Harold Mecabe, who has been a member of the club since 2000, said that the club was able to support St. Mary's with 55 blood donors throughout the day, and that supporting such a good cause is a central factor in the strong turnout of both cars and donors.
And he explained that the club's commitment to St. Mary's goes beyond their blood drives. Each year in November, the club arrives at the medical center with toys for the kids and close to a $10,000 donation for the hospital.
"We have a pretty large following," Mecabe said. "A lot of the guys continuously come to watch the shows because they know what we stand for and what we do. We even have cars from New Jersey and Staten Island."
The club has regular meet ups at Resorts World Casino every Tuesday night until November 18, and at the Glendale Stop & Shop every Saturday night.

A Year That Touched The Human Spirit
What a year it has been! From milestone celebrations and technology innovations to inspiration amidst devastation, 2012 was a year jamming with jubilee, packed with athletic prowess, and electrified by an awe-inspiring election. Here's a glimpse at just a few of the year's highlights:
Celebrating—British style!
The Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrated Her Majesty's 60-year reign withroyal fanfare along the Thames River and brought out the festivities like nothing the British had done before! It was matched only a few months later by the glory of the 2012 London Summer Olympics, where athletes in countries from around the world competed in the spirit of unity under the motto: "inspire a generation."
Stop the Presses! High-Tech Takes Over!
Both Encyclopedia Britannica and American magazine Newsweek announced plans to cease publication of their print editions. The 2010 edition of the renowned encyclopedia was the last for the educational staple, with Newsweek set to stop its presses with its December 31, 2012 edition. With technology now at our fingertips, both companies are making the move to mobile in this digital age.
Forces of Nature
During the darkest hours of Hurricane Sandy, the brightest spirits shone through with neighbors helping neighbors and multiple acts of heroism saving numerous lives. Despite limited resources, nothing could suppress the human spirit as it strengthened survivors' resolve and blessed them with an "attitude of gratitude" for everything they had.
Mother Nature also revealed a wonderful side—as she never ceases to amaze us with her awesome spectacles—captivating us with a total solar eclipse on November 13. Mostly visible to our friends Down Under, it crossed the South Pacific, passing over the northern tip of Australia, traversing thousands of miles as viewers took in this solar event.
Election Season
Four major debates, two political conventions, countless ads, and campaigns trails full of hand-shaking and smiling for cameras were all a part of this year's road to the White House. As voters tuned in to see where the candidates stood on important issues, polls were ready to gauge public opinion every step of the way. In the end, President Obama reclaimed the Oval Office as election night came to a close.
bluemountain.com Gets a Makeover!
You spoke, we listened! Thanks to customer feedback, our user-friendly site got even friendlier. With a new design layout, navigational tools, and familiar favorites still available, Bluemountain.com is better than ever and we're hoping to make 2013 our best year yet!

Chris I think that you should let Johanna wear whatever she wants even if you don't like it. Just suck it up and tell her she looks beautiful.

So I have a t-shirt that is 11 years old--and is the most comfy thing I own--wear it with pride!

What did you decide about the shirt??? Now that I think of it, I think Blake threw away this sweater of mine that he hated, he just never fessed up. Chris remember my "Mandy Moore sweater" he hated?

What a strange, confusing, and occasionally wonderful movie this was...
Mila Kunis and Channing Tatum have both been offered roles in the upcoming Wachowskis brothers film "Jupiter Ascending". Honestly I just don't have it in me to find out what the movie is going to be about so let's just call it "Matrix" with even worse acting and a ton more adorable.
I'm not sure anyone asked for it but it looks like Jonathan Liebesman is hard at work on a sequel to 2011's alien invasion flick "Battle Los Angeles". I know I saw the movie and don't think I hated it but for the life of me I can't remember how it ended. So I'm really excited to see where this goes.
I'm so Twi-Hard at this news right now I can't even stand up. Billy Burke, who's in all the "Twilight" movies in case you didn't get the reference, has been officially confirmed to be be joining the cast of J.J. Abrams' new series "Revolution". In the show a family will struggle to reunite in a post apocalyptic America. Burke will play a dad who discovers his daughter is in love with a vampire and a werewolf at the same time. Wait no... that can't be right.
Our next lucky contestant in the scoop up any book that has teens fighting in it is Lex Thoma who penned the book "Quarantine: The Loners" which is about a world where a deadly virus is killing anyone who reaches puberty. Teens form gangs and then battle for territory and survival. I hope some of them dress up like the Baseball Furies. Those guys were scary as all hell.
"Apollo 18", the hey-spooky-things-live-on-the-moon film has been pushed to January 6 of next year. The movie was originally suppose to be released last month and was pushed to April 22nd. Honestly this works out pretty well for me because I already had plans on the 22nd so I say this is a win. Just in case anyone was wondering.
There's been talk of a "Child's Play" remake for some time now but little movement. Well today there's still little movement but word around the campfire is MGM will be pushing this one out of its loins and they're shooting for a 2012 release date. Does it make you uncomfortable when I use the word "loins"? It should.
When the hell was it announced that Sam Rami was doing a "Wizard of Oz" flick? Did I break the news? Let's pretend I did! Anyway Mila Kunis has been cast as Theodora in the movie currently titled "Oz: The Great and Powerful" and from the sounds of things I think she plays a good witch who wants to get freaky with a guy, gets shot down and then goes batty. Witchy woman!
On April 7th the good people over at A&E: Bio Channel will be airing "Scream: The Inside Story", a big ol rub and tug fest about the phenomenon that is Wes Craven's "Scream" franchise. That air date seems pretty close if they want to get my interviews in. I haven't even gotten any calls yet. Weird.
Well here's a surprise! "Paranormal Activity 3" has officially been confirmed and will see a release on October 21st of next year. I don't think they've actually written a script yet so I'd like to suggest that they focus more on the pool cleaner this time. That thing's got big time Hollywood star written all over it.
Eli Roth is just going to keep doing what he's doing and be dreamy to boot. He's now confirmed to be producing two new horror films, "Clown" and "Aftershock". I'm pretty sure you can figure out what the movies will be about from the titles. One has a guy dressed up as a clown who goes nuts and one is about the aftermath of a large earthquake. Try to guess which is which!
Here's a new one sheet for the Natalie Portman flick "Black Swan". I've seen a few trailers for this one and I'm still a little confused but I'm 99% sure Portman actually turns into a swan in the movie and makes out with Mila Kunis. Before she turns into a swan that is, although that would be a lot creepier if it was after. Freaks!
Looks like "Friday the 13th: Part 2 3D" may in fact be moving forward so get excited kids. Or don't, I don't really care at this point. Of course this news is all based on some blog post so who knows. I announced my candidacy for President on my blog and it didn't come true. Don't think I didn't try though!
Oh you WANTED that hand? My bad.
Mila Kunis joins Daron Aranofsky's "Black Swan", opposite Natalie Portman.
A new movie is in production based on the book "Kong: King of Skull Island", a prequel to "King Kong" that was released around the time of Peter Jackson's 2006 adaptation. Apparently it deals with how the giant became "king" of Skull Island (I guess that's self explanatory). Not sure how the story works with a bunch of apes and dinosaurs, but I'm sure there are some annoying humans in there somewhere.
Word coming out of Japan is that "The Host 2" has found some investors, although they're still trying to decide between multiple scripts that have been written.
Poster for the indie "All About Evil", starring Natasha Lyonne, about a young woman who inherits her family's theater chain and brings it back to life with a series of "all too real" grisly, gory short films.

The M.A.D produces a very specific and focused form of PEMF wave (pulsed electromagnetic wave) which penetrates deep into the body; the wave is completely harmless and produces no sensations. This wave type (shape, frequency and power) produces two critically important benefits for the area of the body that is being treated.
Firstly, this type of PEMF wave produces localized vasodilatation (increase in size of the small blood capillaries), which allows a substantial increase in blood flow to the treated area. This is particularly important when treating tendons as they have very poor blood supplies, compared to muscles, and this poor blood supply normally makes them very slow to heal.
Secondly, when this type of PEMF wave passes through any conductive material, such as the tissue cells of the human body, it generates a tiny electrical 'charge' (voltage difference) between the cells that are being treated.
This minute 'charge' causes an increase in cellular metabolism as the vital tissue salts in our body all carry an electrical charge. The PEMF wave facilitates an increase in the movement of these vital tissue salts, and oxygen, in and between the cells, which has the effect of increasing the performance of the cells and reducing their regeneration time by up to 75%, i.e. four times faster than normal.
If you place an M.A.D. unit over a large bruise and treat it continuously for 72 hours, you will see an area of approximately two inches around the unit completely heal up.
It has been shown conclusively, by several scientific studies, including a recent NASA study on pulsed electromagnetic wave therapy (PEMF), that sustained PEMF treatments provide the most rapid regeneration of cells, up to four times faster than untreated cells. For this reason the M.A.D unit needed to be tiny, so that it could be worn in almost any situation and provide sustained treatments while we work sleep or play, in a convenient and comfortable manner.

PHOENIX -- The U.S. Supreme Court delivered a victory Monday to voting rights advocates who have been fighting a number of recent state laws they say make it more difficult to vote. Justices struck down an Arizona law requiring voters show proof of citizenship to register.
The decision protects what's known as the motor voter law and it keeps states from adding requirements to a federal registration form. The 1993 voter registration act requires individuals to promise in writing that they are citizens but Arizona wanted more.
Arizona lawmakers passed a law requiring proof of citizenship, for instance a birth certificate, from anyone using the federal form. On Monday justices ruled that the Arizona law went too far.
"90 percent of the people's whose applications were rejected because they didn't have proof of citizenship were U.S. citizens," said Laura Murphy of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The 7-2 decision striking down the Arizona law impacts four other states with similar requirements, Alabama Georgia, Kansas, and Tennessee as well as at least 12 others considering similar legislation.
"What's so important about this ruling is it is saying to all these other states you can't come up with all these restrictions that make it harder for voters to vote," said Barbara Arnwine, of Lawyers' Committee for Civil rights under law.

Academic Achievement: Examining the Impact of Community Type at a Small Liberal Arts College in Texas
Description: Hierarchical regression was used to determine if high school community type is an effective predictor of academic success when controlling for demographics, prior academic achievement, socioeconomic status, and current commitment or work habits for students entering Austin College in 1992,1993, and 1994 . Findings revealed that there is a relationship between attending high school in community types of rural and independent town controlling for the effects of SAT scores, high school rank, sex, and late application deposit on first semester grade point average.

This page helped me learn Manga Studio; it's the only TAZ page where all the inks are completely digital. This page, as a result of being a guinea pig, is less than thrilling.
Sorry for the wait. Hopefully, the next one will be faster.
This page helped me learn Manga Studio; it's the only TAZ page where all the inks are completely digital. This page, as a result of being a guinea pig, is less than thrilling.
Sorry for the wait. Hopefully, the next one will be faster.
Eh. It's not bad at all, and after the whole OMGF of the shop, the slightly cleaner, understated style does a lot for this page.
It looks real good; I can't make out any difference from your usual routine.
I liked that Spike showed her unmarked face. She's very pretty. For some reason what I'm guessing is First Nations blood also is a lot more evident.
Patti has First Nations ancestry? I missed this, point me to a previous page, please?
The clothes, hair style and the nose. She doesn't have the complexion or facial structure (ex- no predominant cheekbones) to look like most First Nation people I've met. I can't help but think she's actually something more like Italian and possibly related to Regan, but who knows? She's quite pretty either way. :)
I am pretty sure she is Nile, considering the context. Besides, one needn't "look First Nations" to be so. Nor does one always "look Jewish." Or have mocha-coloured skin to be mulatto.
Keep in mind that the vast variations of genetics should be given greater consideration than social pre/misconceptions. It will keep us out of a fair amount of avoidable trouble.
I myself do not specifically look like any of my cultural/genetic roots.
Glad you're using Manga Studio! It's a terrific program!
I love panels 1 and 2. We get to see Patti have a moment to just take a moment to herself and react to what happened now that she's not being buffeted by anyone else's input.
so basically she had a fangirl moment <3 too cute
man i love manga studio. once you get the hang of it it really streamlines comic making. especially perspective and the like.
i love her teehee face.~
manga studio is great, but if i'm gonna ink digitally it's sai or bust
It all still looks like Spike inks, though. This is a good thing.
So, I like Hypatia before this. That second panel made me fall in love with her. I'd seriously quit walking and just stare if I saw her on the street with that expression on her face. Amazing work, Spike.
I honestly love the way this turned out and can see a major improvement. Especially on panel 2.
But, you're the artist. If you don't like the results, then BACK TO INKING TRADITIONALLY :D
I quite like the new inking style, I'd love to see a stream of you doing a page in Mange Studio to compare it to the previous process.
It is a little more flat, a little less vivid this way… makes me think Disney. I'm sure you'll find a balance, though.
Kind of afraid to find out what's making Patti laugh…
That's not a laugh, she's trying to hide an expression of sublime glee.
seemed to me like a "teehee".
I would love to have her shirt! I also now want to own a copy shop.
This just hit me: Thoth has a No Parking sign. Have we actually seen a car in Templar before?
I know Pippi's date was driving a car a couple chapters back. Otherwise, I don't remember any others. Good point.
So he was, good catch; spotted a couple hanging around the margins at the beginning of this chapter too, so they're definitely around, just kind of scarce in the Templarverse. Pedestrian oriented city planning: good for the environment, good for panel layouts.
So… this definitely isn't the M-W-F comic that's advertized, is it? I'm seeing updates once a week at best.
I'm loving Hypatia. I know she hates that birthmark, but she is SO cute.
I had a friend (we are no longer so close) who insisted that female beauty be perfect. I could not convince him that what made a woman beautiful was not her perfection but her imperfection. We had a huge 'discussion' about it, after which I never felt the same about him.
Sad that so many are like him.
Hypatia is beautiful.
….Does Hypatia hate her birthmark, though? There's no evidence in the comic so far either way, I think.

I was woken up this morning with a text message: "Check the Google logo. You'll probably love it." He was right! As a celebration for Austen's birthday, 16th December, Google put up the following image:
Isn't it just wonderful? Thoroughly debatable as to who the characters are, but I'm going with Lizzy and Darcy (for my own sanity's sake) justified in my mind with the way they are standing, or something. This is the first time Google has celebrated Jane Austen's birthday (according to the archives) in this manner. The Doodle team is really talented, I think the picture is just delightful!

This HowTo describes how to compile OmegaT from the source code.
OmegaT is supplied ready-compiled for a number of platforms, including a cross-platform version. Users do not therefore need to compile OmegaT themselves. Compiling OmegaT is relevant for developers who wish to make modifications of their own to its code.
1. Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK)
The Java Development Kit is required. For OmegaT 4.0 and later, no additional software is required.
Earlier versions of OmegaT require Apache Ant.
You may have to set your
JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the location of the JDK.
2. Compile the code
Open a command-line window (console, DOS window). Navigate to the root of the OmegaT source code (the folder containing the file
build.gradle), e.g.
cd C:\My Documents\MyOmegat\OmegaT_<version>_Beta_Source
OmegaT 4.0 or later
You can run OmegaT directly from the command line with
gradlew run
If this is all you're interested in, you can skip to step 3a.
To build the OmegaT program and all associated files, instead do
gradlew installDist
The results will be in the
Older versions of OmegaT
From within the root folder, execute Apache Ant by entering the ant executable. It may be necessary to enter the full path, e.g.:
C:\Program Files\apache-ant-1.7.0-bin\apache-ant-1.7.0\bin\ant
If the code compiles successfully, you will see the
BUILD SUCCESSFUL message. If not, debugging messages will be shown which will (hopefully) provide some idea of where the problem is.
If your code has compiled successfully, the compiled OmegaT is placed in:
Still in your command-line window, change to this folder, e.g. with:
cd C:\My Documents\MyOmegat\OmegaT_<version>_Beta_Source\dist
and launch OmegaT with:
java -jar OmegaT.jar
3a. 1st example modification: changing the colour of segment highlighting
In the folder
src/org/omegat/gui/editor open the file
SegmentBuilder.java in a text editor.
Find the lines:
return Styles.createAttributeSet(fg, Styles.COLOR_GREEN, true, null);
b = Styles.COLOR_GREEN;
and replace
COLOR_GREEN with
In the folder
src/org/omegat/util/gui open the file
Styles.java in a text editor.
Find the line
public static final Color COLOR_GREEN = new Color(192, 255, 192);
COLOR_GREEN with
COLOR_BLUE and
192, 255, 192 with
225, 225, 255.
3b. 2nd example modification: increasing the number of fuzzy matches displayed from five to ten
In the folder
/src/org/omegat/util open the file
OConsts.java in a text editor.
Find the lines:
/** Number of fuzzy matches to display */ public static final int MAX_NEAR_STRINGS = 5;
and replace
= 5 with
= 10.
For both examples, compile and test as described above.

Young guys shine in win
Home runs from Triple-A rookies Jordany Valdespinand Raul Reyes helped the Bisonsdefeat the Red Wings, 6-5, on Monday night at Coca-Cola Field.
Salomon Manriquez added a three-run double and Chris Schwinden picked up his eighth win of the season as Buffalo completed the two-game sweep of their closest rival.
Valdespin got the team going right away, taking Eric Hacker's first pitch of the night and depositing it into the Bully Hill Party Deck. The blast was Valdespin'ssecond of the season and quickly extended his hit streak to eight games.
In the second inning, Manriquezemptied the bases when he doubled down the left field line. Josh Satin, Luis Hernandez and Bubba Bell all scored on the play to give Buffalo a 4-1 advantage.
After Rochester rallied to tie the game at four, Reyes led off the fifth inning with a massive home run. A much needed insurance run -and eventual game-winning run- came across in the sixth inning when Hernandez tripled and scored on a sac fly from pinch hitter Luis Figueroa.
Schwinden earned the victory to improve to 8-7 on the year. The righty struck out six and allowed four runs in six innings of work.
Dale Thayer worked the ninth inning for the third consecutive night to earn his 21st save of the season.
BISONS NOTES: The Mets announced that outfielder Mike Baxter has been optioned to the Bisons to make room for the activation of Jose Reyes to the big league club…The Bisonsare now 37-34 in games decided by two runs or less this year.

There are times when just the unvarnished title of a game will make a good headline for a blog post and this is one of those times.
I Made This.. is the kind of platform game that you play inside your head while hopped up on over-the-counter cough remedies during a 3-day fever. It's like someone tried to make schizophrenia into a flash game and is just the right side of incomprehensible. As the 'instructions' say, "Remember, 'figuring out' is for control centred hedonists and sharks with bees for hair."
Guide your... round thing around levels seemingly constructed from printouts of popular web pages (YouTube, Google, Yahoo! and Fark all get a look in - no Kotaku so far, though) that have been cut up, glued together in a twisted collage and scrawled over in ballpoint pen. As you move to the various 'goal' sprites to progress you will trigger alarming popups, Burroughsian cut-up poetry and flashing slogans. It's curiously compelling - I'm even starting to worry that there might be a plot.

Canucks lose grip on division lead with 4-2 loss at Wild
The Vancouver Canucks continued Sunday to look like a last-place team, which is where they will soon find themselves unless they find their game.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Vancouver Canucks continued Sunday to look like a last-place team, which is where they will soon find themselves unless they find their game.
Their latest mess was a 4-2 loss to the Minnesota Wild that featured a first-minute goal against and another fruitless night for their power play.
The loss was Vancouver's fourth straight and sixth in the last seven. As a result, they now share the Northwest Division lead with Minnesota but the Wild are seeded ahead of them based on the tie-breaker of more regulation plus overtime victories. The Canucks have won just three of their last 12 and, when they glance at the standings, they will notice they are only one point above the playoff bar in the Western Conference.
In golf parlance, they have backed up to the field. And to make matters even more squeamish, their next game Tuesday is against the Columbus Blue Jackets, merely the hottest team in the West with five straight wins.
"It's tough right now, we're being tested," said Canuck alternate captain Daniel Sedin. "It's disappointing. I think we're working really hard but are we working the right way? I don't know."
Daniel, normally less talkative than brother Henrik, pointed a finger at himself and Henrik for not producing enough, especially on the power play that is now 0-for-its-last-20.
"We've got a lot of leadership and a lot of older guys in our group but each and every guy has to do their job and it starts with me and Hank," said a passionate Daniel. "I mean, we're leaders on this team and this is a game I think we could have got ourselves back into if our power play was good enough. We're two guys who can make that happen and we didn't do that tonight. It starts with me and Hank. That's the bottom line. We have the puck a lot and we have to make those plays."
While it was noble for Daniel to fall on his sword – and Henrik's – there was plenty of blame to spread around. The twins weren't on the ice when Zach Parise scored 24 seconds into the opening period.
They weren't playing goalie either. Cory Schneider had little chance on the first two Wild goals by Parise and rookie Jason Zucker, which made it 2-0 after 20 minutes, but he did allow Jared Spurgeon's power-play goal in the second to slide under his right pad and couldn't hold his post in the third when Parise jammed the back-breaker past him after Chris Higgins and Henrik had pulled the Canucks to within one.
Schneider did make other saves that were marvellous, stoning Devin Setoguchi three times in particular, but he wasn't happy and neither was head coach Alain Vigneault. Roberto Luongo is likely to emerge from mothballs Tuesday in Columbus.
"Cory is like the rest of our team right now," Vigneault said. "We're all a little bit off and we're all going to work to get back on."
Vigneault attempted to create a spark with his unproductive group in the second period and began juggling all his lines other than the Sedin twins with Alex Burrows. Mason Raymond went back to left wing, Higgins was moved to centre, Jordan Schroeder moved up a line and Max Lapierre returned to his usual fourth-line spot.
Vigneault even put Jason Garrison on the first-unit power play, abandoning the Schroeder experiment there.
"The power play didn't generate much again," Vigneault muttered. "Our power play is definitely a deterrent for the other team's physical play. When it's not performing the way ours is now, especially with the personnel that I believe we have that can get the job done, we need to find solutions and we're going to get right back at it tomorrow."
Schneider has lost his last three starts, one in a shootout, one in overtime and Sunday's in regulation. He has just six wins in 14 decisions (6-5-3) and is finding life a little difficult than he did as a backup.
"We can't panic, it's not time to panic yet," said Schneider, who finished with 28 saves. "It is time to get some urgency and win hockey games but we can't just sort of abandon everything we've been working on and that we've been doing for the past few years."
As for those third and fourth Wild goals, he was especially miffed with the Spurgeon strike.
"It went right under my pad and that's a couple this year that have kind of snuck under there," he said. "It's just something I have to figure out with Rollie Melanson (goalie coach) and make sure it doesn't happen again. On the fourth one, I felt like I had it sealed and he just out-muscled me and just jammed it in and somehow it snuck over the line. Parise gets a lot of goals that way, just hacking and whacking and trying to stuff pucks."
The opening period featured some decent emotion as Burrows tried to stir it up with Wild captain Mikko Koivu, resulting in a giant scrum. Even the mild-mannered Alex Edler was involved and was assessed a roughing penalty. On the next shift, Tom Sestito and Mike Rupp dropped the mitts in a heavyweight bout.
ICE CHIPS: The Canucks' lone healthy scratch Sunday was defenceman Cam Barker as Keith Ballard returned from his charley horse after missing just one game.

Defending the planet against rocky invaders
In May, hundreds of international experts will meet to consider how best to react should planet Earth ever be threatened by a large object. The 2011 Planetary Defence Conference includes top experts from space organisations worldwide.
The 2011 Planetary Defence Conference (PDC2011) is the fourth in a series of global meetings that bring together scientists, space experts, industry, academics and policy-makers to share research results and consider options for a global response should an Earth-impacting threat be discovered.
There are over 400 000 asteroids known in our Solar System; more than 7700 of these are near-Earth objects (NEOs), meaning their orbits come close to that of Earth's.
NEOs could hit our planet and, depending on their size, produce considerable damage. While the chance of a large object striking Earth is very small, it would produce a great deal of destruction. NEOs thus merit active detection and tracking efforts.
Global cooperation vital to assess NEO risk
Within Europe, we have developed world-class capabilities and expertise in observing, discovering and assessing NEOs.
The most recent significant impact occurred in Siberia, Russia, in 1908, when an object estimated at 30–50 m in diameter entered the atmosphere and exploded. The blast levelled more than 2000 sq km of forest.
"Within Europe, we have developed world-class capabilities and expertise in observing, discovering and assessing NEOs," says Detlef Koschny, Head of the NEO Segment at ESA's Space Situational Awareness (SSA) programme office.
"Assessing the risk and developing response strategies cuts across national, geographic, jurisdictional and disciplinary lines, so conferences like PDC2011 are absolutely vital for sharing information."
ESA's SSA programme is developing services and infrastructure to enable Europe to observe NEOs, predict their orbits, produce impact warnings and be involved in possible mitigation measures and civil response.
It will also provide services to monitor man-made debris objects in orbit that can pose hazards to satellites and to monitor the effects of space weather phenomena on space and ground assets.
PDC2011, Bucharest
PDC2011 will be held 9–12 May in Bucharest, Romania. The conference is being organised under the auspices of the International Academy of Astronautics. ESA and the Romania Space Agency are among the main sponsors, which include many other organisations, companies and agencies interested in NEOs.
Delegates from a large range of international organisations will attend and present findings, including ESA, NASA, the UN, and the French, German, UK, Japanese and Italian space agencies, as well as the private and public sectors.
The theme for the conference is 'From Threat to Action' and papers will be presented covering: potentially hazardous objects – recent research; discovery and tracking; impacts, effects and education; mission planning and technologies; legal, policy, and political framework for planetary defence.
More information on the conference and details on the venue and registration can be found via the link at top right or via the Congrex website.

Article content
The nickname no longer seems appropriate: Sid is not a Kid anymore.
He may look like a kid with those large eyes and that wide, familiar smile. He may be only 26 years old, young to some of us, but not necessarily by sporting standards.
But here's the startling number when it comes to Sidney Crosby, who sometimes, just not often enough, has been the best player in all of hockey: This is Year 9 of his National Hockey League career. And somehow that seems in need of recount.
For all kinds of reasons, this still seems like the formative stages of his career. He still feels like a resource untapped. Like the best has yet to come for Crosby.
And maybe it will. Maybe this year as the NHL returns to a full 82-game season. Maybe this is the year of Sid The Adult.
He has had his moments, his times in the past. A Stanley Cup win and a Stanley Cup loss in Pittsburgh. The Golden Goal in Vancouver in 2010. Just not enough of them to have all the hype meet all the expectation. Just not enough of them for those of us who want our superstars to be Gretzky and Lemieux all rolled up in a ball of Bobby Orr.
But what Craig Patrick used to say about the Lemieux years can now be said about the Penguins years with Crosby. Patrick, who built two Cup teams around Lemieux as the general manager in Pittsburgh, liked to talk about his window of opportunity.
"I have this window," Patrick would often say. "Now it's up to me to take advantage of it."
It was always complicated with Lemieux, not because of his talent, but because of his health. Patrick's Penguins won two Cups and probably should have won more. And it has been complicated the past three seasons in Pittsburgh with the Crosby guessing games: Will he play? Will he play again? Can he play? And at what level will he play?
Crosby was actually on a fast track, ahead of Gretzky, ahead of Lemieux, not in scoring from a different era way, but in career advancements. In Season 3 of Crosby's career, the Penguins lost the Cup to the Detroit Red Wings in a series that could have gone either way. In Season 4, Crosby was holding his first and only Cup above his head.
It took Gretzky six pro seasons to win his first Stanley Cup. It took Lemieux seven years. Orr won his first Cup in Year 4, his second one in Year 6.
Not that we're comparing Crosby, this generational player, with those generational players. This isn't first among equals: This is best of an era against best of another era. And comparing the speed with which championships have been attained.
Crosby was on a fast track until he accidentally collided with David Steckel outdoors in Pittsburgh, even though he only won one scoring title, one Hart Trophy. Since then, it has been difficult to compartmentalize precisely who and what he is.
When Crosby has played over these past three seasons, he's has performed at the highest scoring level of his career. In his past 99 games, he has scored 159 points: That is, over 82 games 131 point scoring pace.
Over the same period of time, he missed 113 games.
So he has sat out more games than he has played – primarily with his much-discussed concussion situation – and he hasn't really played a full NHL season since 2009-10, which makes this season rather intriguing for Crosby, for the Penguins, for hockey fans and for those who want to see greatness.
Pittsburgh has hardly been in the express lane lately, despite being favoured just about every year as a playoff contender. The Pens lost their third-round playoff series last season to Boston, being swept in a horribly one-sided series by the Bruins. The year before, Pittsburgh lost in the first round. The year before that, the team also lost in the first round.
These have been the opportunities lost in Pittsburgh, opportunities that are tough to get back. But as another season begins, with Crosby and Evgeni Malkin at centre with the Penguins, with Kris Letang on defence, with the hope that Marc-Andre Fleury can't possibly be as terrible as he was this spring again, the Penguins are again the choice in the East. The early-season choice to do battle with the Chicago Blackhawks or Los Angeles Kings or whichever team comes out of the crowded West.
Jonathan Toews, younger than Crosby, with one more Stanley Cup, is not the serious face of the game, although he is certainly serious in a whole lot of ways. But this season can be a return of old for Crosby. It has that feel and hockey needs him to be the best player in the game.
Even if he's not a kid anymore.
