It is one of the oldest ballparks still hosting baseball, a historic venue that still feels much as it did during its June 17, 1915 opening. Welcome to Evansville's Bosse Field.
Another 2013 Ballpark Digest Award to announce: We've named PNC Field, home of the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders (Class AAA; International League), as our Best New Ballpark of the Year.
It's a new era in North Carolina baseball as the Charlotte Knights (Class AAA; International League) open a new Uptown ballpark tonight. Our Mark Cryan was on hand yesterday for a sneak preview.
It wasn't that long ago when the Colorado Rockies shut down the right-field upper deck at Coors Field because of a lack of fan interest. Now, it's the hottest place in the ballpark -- and a model for other teams seeking to generate some buzz.
This, friends, is why summer-collegiate leagues exist: to provide new life to old ballparks – evidenced by the makeover of Simmons Field, home of the Northwoods League's Kenosha Kingfish.

Studios Pull Out Of Halo MovieBy Maarten Goldstein, Oct 20, 2006 4:56am PDT
Bad news for people who were looking forward to the Halo movie adapation, as Variety reports that Universal and Fox have ended their participation in the project. Both studios apparently got cold feet over the movie's budget, though Peter Jackson and co are saying the two companies wanted Microsoft and Jackson to reduce their profit participation. According to a Jackson rep, Microsoft is already in talks with other distribution partners and prep work on the movie continues.
Rumors of a budget that could approach $200 million raged Thursday, but Ken Kamins, who reps Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, vehemently denied that figure. The duo came aboard as exec producers, joining powerhouse producers Mary Parent, Scott Stuber and Peter Schlessel. "The only budget the filmmakers every spoke about was $145 million less the 12.5% rebate that you get from shooting in New Zealand, which would put it at about $128 million," Kamins said. "That was the only number that was ever discussed.

BUT as some here have said, studios will probably want a "Name" for ticket sales...
However, the way I see it, if they were to play it true to the game, then Master Chief's face is never revealed at all - Not giving much incentive to any A-lister.

It would be better to have the "Name" actors play characters that don't require being covered up all the time.

By: garland81 x Show Full PostThe script already costed $10 million dollars (alex garland's lucky and probably one and only high price hit, not the mention highest paying job in the history of screenplay sales), Jackson's New Zealand shooting plan seems like a rational idea. Drop the A-list actors or transfer half their payments thru commission (with caps of course) and switch from 3D to 2D rendering, cuz of the faster 3D rendering cards and what was possible in 2D and not in 3D is slowly becoming possible now if frames are structured to render/save into 2D format (Quad AMD + Quad Nvidia + UnrealEngine3?), could save some budgeting cash.

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. (AP) - Investigators continue to seek clues in the shooting death of a woman who was found dead this week in a southern New Jersey home where she was housesitting.
But a motive for the slaying of 54-year-old Kathleen Korbel of Gloucester Township remained unclear Saturday, one day after her body was found in another township home on Mayflower Drive.
Camden County prosecutors say Korbel was found around 5 p.m. Friday. They say she had been shot numerous times, but further details on the slaying have not been disclosed.
Authorities have not identified the people who Korbel was housesitting for or said how long she had been staying at the residence.

Bill Clinton named Father of the Year
He's not just a former president of the United States; he's also a father -- and a darn good one at that.
Bill Clinton was named Father of the Year by the National Father's Day Committee on Tuesday at a luncheon to benefit Save the Children in New York City, Us Weekly reports.
According to its website, "The National Father's Day Committee, an entity of the Father's Day/Mother's Day Council, each year confers Father of the Year Honors on contemporary lifestyle leaders of our culture whose lives are dedicated to family, citizenship, charity, civility, responsibility and reverence," with the objective of "enhanc[ing] the meaning of Father's Day and encourage universal observance."
Bill's 33-year-old daughter, Chelsea, presented him with the award, saying, "I don't need an award to tell me he's the best [dad] that I ever could have hoped for. But I'm grateful he's getting the recognition that I, of course, his unapologetically biased daughter, think he's always deserved."
"Of all the reasons that I'm proud of my father," she continued, "I'm most proud that he's my dad and that he's always been there for me. He has always provided me a safe place to land and a hard place from which to launch."
In his acceptance speech, Bill proved why he deserves the honor: "You could never have picked anyone happier, because seeing my daughter still makes me happier than anything else in the world."
During a more lighthearted moment of his speech, Bill told the audience that earlier in the day, his wife, Hillary Clinton, had sent him a text message (Texts from Hillary, anyone?). It said, "Congratulations. I think you deserve this." Bill explained that "in our family, that's a very big deal."
Bill joins the ranks of fathers like Douglas MacArthur (the first to be honored in 1942), Bing Crosby, Yogi Berra, Tom Brokaw, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Michael Bloomberg, Shaquille O'Neal and so many more who've been conferred this prestigious award.
Well, congratulations, Mr. President, and congrats to all the dads out there.
Father's Day is this Sunday, so don't forget to give your dad a big hug and thank him for all that he does.

»Simon Boccanegra« ends with an ardent plea for peace. This is preceded by the vigorous portrayal of a seemingly insoluble conflict, a tangled web of political and private problems, which demands victims on both sides. In Genoa of 1339, Maria, the daughter of the venerable patrician family Fiesco, and Boccanegra, a corsair of plebeian birth, have fallen in love. Maria's father forbids the relationship; the baby daughter of Maria and Boccanegra is abducted by unknown assailants. Twenty years later Boccanegra is elected Doge of the Sea Republic with the sole intention of marrying Maria and reconciling their respective families. Yet in the meantime Maria has died. As Doge, Boccanegra attempts to forge peace between Genoa and Venice and to resolve the conflict within the city between the patricians and the plebeians. He also fights for the happiness of his newly found daughter, Amelia, who has fallen in love with an ally of his arch enemy, Fiesco. Boccanegra pays for his efforts with his life when he is poisoned by a traitor from within his own ranks.
»Simon Boccanegra« is doubtless one of Verdi's darkest and most fatalistic operas – yet at the same time one in which, at the end, a happy young couple looks optimistically towards the future. To a time of peace.

Enable the upcoming Purchase Order module to link to outside applications
My company has an app that services a very large niche market- all of those clients (tens of thousands) also need accounting. Our current app has rudimentary accounting in it but we are seeking to set up a sync with a dedicated cloud-app for all the accounting. Purchase Orders are crucial to this niche market and if we could sync them with Xero via api it would make a huge difference.
(Provide GET/PUT/POST PurchaseOrders endpoint)
We're certainly looking to offer Purchase Order functionality via the Xero API. It is amongst a list of top priority feature requests that we are working through as quickly as we can. There are a few items ahead of this so I'll change the status on this item when we are actively working on this.

Come on Xero, release the API already
Sharon commented
This is imperative to our Company so the sooner the better please.
Simon Deconde commented
IMPORTANT: Everyone interested in this feature should vote for it there: https://community.xero.com/business/discussion/3340518/
What sort of time frame are we looking at ?
+1 for PO in the API ASAP
Simon Marshall commented
At the recent AccountEx exhibition we were asked about our integration with Xero, the main point of contention was that if Purchase Orders were being used why can't the PO number be passed across as part of the validation that the invoice is against a set PO?
In our opinion this is a great value add that will enhance Xero's footprint even further.
Philip Evans commented
Retrieving PO details through API would be excellent and next step for ours in development.
Sam O'Connor commented
Jon commented
+1 on this - will be fantastic when available
Kalen Jordan commented
Also interested in purchase orders API (read access specifically).
Andy commented
Hi, Kevin, could you please give us any ETA when the purchase order might be available through Xero API. We got a project demand this feature right now. Thanks
Fred commented
Hi, can you please provide some indication as to whether or not you will be planning on releasing API for Purchase Orders in the near future and if so any estimated timescale. I believe there is lot more interest than what is expressed via this forum if only everyone knew the real reason why there is a lack of 3rd party integration with Xero Purchase Orders.
Mohan commented
It would be really great if you let us access the PurchaseOrders via the Xero API with the facility to create new purchase orders via the API.
Thank You.
Daniel commented
Please add this ASAP. PO's via the api is the number 1 request of all my clients and right now we have to hack the process with draft invoices as do many others... It sucks because we also use the draft invoices for... well draft invoices, which means when processing we have to be more cautious and it introduces human error into the system. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE open this up via the API.
Ryan commented
Absolutely necessary to our business, If this could have all 10 of my votes it would.
Paul Brown commented
I am working on a number of projects which would benefit from an API for purchase orders. Please add this in asap with documentation, can't express enough how much I need this.
I run three separate businesses with Xero on three accounts. A purchase order API is my one number priority/request. This will streamline the process and increase efficiency. Must have!
Accounts commented
Please develop an API for Purchase Oorders, this is essential for us to develop 3rd party integrations and until such time we can't even use the PO functionality unfortunately.

Saving Lincoln Reviews
An ancillary curio about the man and his struggles, at least for history buffs, and an unusual exception to an old screenwriting rule -- a movie whose framing device benefits it much more than its actual execution.
Full Review | Original Score: C
The innovative look. . .of thrusting actors directly into archival photographs, . .the primary reason to see the film, is particularly striking. . .as visual authenticity.
Full Review | Original Score: 6/10
Los Angeles Times
The film feels like an animated Wikipedia page, just sort of running through the greatest hits of Lincoln's life in office - the Emancipation Proclamation! Gettysburg! The Theater! - without any real insight.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
NYC Movie Guru
A bold visual feat undermined by an overstuffed, cold and shallow screenplay and awkward theatrical performances.
Full Review | Original Score: 5.45/10
The film suggests a way modestly budgeted movies can approach historical epochs and figures in a provocative and arresting manner.
Full Review | Original Score: 6
Slant Magazine
Under even the best of circumstances, Saving Lincoln would have to inevitably face the scrutiny of potential redundancy.
Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4
SSG Syndicate
This simulated, caricatured curiosity is another Lincoln log that's recommended primarily for history-buffs.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/10
New York Times
Note to filmmakers: Just because you can do something doesn't necessarily mean you should do it.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
New York Daily News
Comes off like a View-Master version of a tale already told.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/5
Film Journal International
Film about Abraham Lincoln and his "best friend" and bodyguard is weakened by a bare-bones script, but greatly strengthened by the director's invention of a visual technique that even Steven Spielberg might envy.
New York Post
Litvak's shoestring production sketches in episodes from Lincoln's entire administration, including a strange "Dixie'' singalong on the White House steps to mark the end of the war.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4
The script, while largely historically accurate, is undermined by stilted dialogue, and the pic is laced with ill-fitting parts that wind up literally all over the matte.
Like a movie-watching day in class that makes you miss the thrilling rhetoric of a lecture.
Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4
Village Voice
Imagine the stiffness of a Star Wars prequel but without the bravura technique.
A fresh take on The Great Emancipator from the point-of-view of a trusted companion who had been at the President's side at Gettysburg and for many historical moments but not on the day he died.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

What a challenge to chose one kit to feature.... Yeh, I know you can mix kits, but I prefer to use one most of the time.
2 of my daughters were belly dancers for several years... so when I saw Oriental Dreams by Stefairy, I knew it would be a kit I would use many times. This is my youngest daughter in my favorite photo of her in her costume. It was taken in Cario, Egypt while she was posing for a famous Egyptian artist - MonsourA - so he could sketch her. I was taking art classes from him so that is how this all came to be. We lived there for 3 of the most interesting and challenging years of our lives.
Oh Kay that is marvelous! You have a lovely daughter, and your layout is so interesting and very fun to look at, wonderful job!
~Holli~ Mommy of two special angels
What a wonderful layout Holli, and it really looks like you and the girls had a lot of fun!
Oh how fun, tractor rides! Super layout Cathy, and thanks for playing along!
What a super layout! And thank you for participating!
I will keep that in mind (mmm... didn't I learn that in the fist lesson??), thank you for resizing!
I'm glad you like it ;-)

End Table Placement
- End tables are typically situated at the ends of sofas, benches, loveseats, etc. These locations allow them to host lamps, books, drinks, and other decorations. Due to their diversity, it is easy to find a table set to match the furniture in any room.
- End tables can be used in other rooms as well. For instance, rather than a nightstand, an end table can be placed at either side of a bed. Again, due to their varieties the tables can fulfill the demands of any pre-established style in a room.
- Accent tables can stand alone. Donning a statue, lone lamp, jewelry box, or other piece, a table can add to the look of the room by standing idly. Many decide to employ table sets to place at extreme parts of the room to provide balance.

April 26, 1865: John Wilkes Booth dies
… or did he? As questioned by this LIFE Magazine article:
The cadaver shown on the opposite page is the mummy of a house painter named John St. Helen who committed suicide in Enid, Okla., Jan. 13, 1903. His mortal remains, embalmed with arsenic, are now a main attraction of Jay Gould's Million Dollar Spectacle, a carnival traveling the Midwest. The carnival bills the corpse as that of John Wilkes Booth, the actor who shot Lincoln.
Officially, Booth was shot as he tried to flee a burning barn near Bowling Green, Va., on April 26, 1865, twelve days after the assassination. But the story persists that the man shot was not Booth, that Booth escaped and live for years in the Southwest. Usually he calls himself St Helens, though sometimes he said he was the son of Marshal Ney who, according to legend, fled France and settled in North Carolina. St. Helen confessed that he was Booth to Finis Bates, later Attorney General of Tennessee, who obtained his corpse after his death and rented it to carnivals. Bate's widow sold it for $1,000. It has changed hands many times since, bringing bad luck to its owners. One went broke and was killed in a hold-up. The present owner, Joseph B. Harkin, a former Tattooed Man, lost a comfortable fortune since he bought the mummy for $5,000 in 1932. Since he joined Gould's show last year, however, his fortunes have changed. The mummy is a big attraction.
In 1931 a group of doctors examined the corpse and found that it had certain marks which Booth had: short left leg, distorted right thumb, scar on neck. But these findings did not convince historians, who generally pooh-pooh the story, agree that this mummy is not and never was the body of John Wilkes Booth.
Dun. Dun. Dun.
(via glassseyes)
This story is no longer news, but still fascinating.
Check out this slideshow on Discovery News about the pyramid-shaped pile of bodies—nearly 300 total, about 100 of them naturally mummified—found in a church crypt in the mountain town of Roccapelago, Italy.
The History Blog also has an article about it:
The unusual preservation was due to a confluence of the consistently cold temperature and two slots in the church wall that kept the air constantly circulating. The vaulted crypt — used as an armory when the church was a fortress in the Middle Ages — was first used for traditional inhumation under ground, but the practice later changed to corpses being dropped from a trap door in the church.

These mummy pictures make me kind of sad for him. At least his hair is awesome.
Did you know there are mummies in Korea? I didn't, until I found this article from 2007 on National Geographic. (Apparently, archaeologists didn't, either, until the bodies started showing up, as old cemeteries were moved to make way for new houses in the recent construction boom.)
This person lived about 500 years ago and was found in South Korea. According to National Geographic, the mummification is perhaps the result of a burial practice that evolved in 14th-century Korea:
"The people believed the body should dissolve in a natural manner, without external factors such as worms," said Mark Spigelman of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, who is known for his pioneering studies of ancient diseases found on mummified bodies around the world.
"This is why they developed a special burial custom."
The method involves laying a body on ice for 3 to 30 days during mourning, placing the corpse inside an inner and an outer pine coffin surrounded by the deceased's clothes, and covering the coffin in a lime soil mixture.
"In some cases, this inadvertently resulted in extremely good natural mummification," Spigelman added. "They didn't expect mummification and, in fact, that's the one thing they wouldn't want."
This method—unlike the artificial (and brittle-making) mummification processes used in ancient Egypt—resulted in mummies that are relatively pliable, with better preserved DNA. Researchers were even able to take samples from one mummy of the virus that causes hepatitis B, which could pave the way for research that might help modern-day sufferers of the disease.
A more recent discovery—featured in the Daily Mail—is this lady, who is also believed to be about 500 years old:
She was found in Osan, in South Korea's Gyeonggi Province, with her purse.
This is remarkable: a Chinese "wet" mummy dating from the Ming dynasty. The story's a year old, so it's not really news.
See the whole slideshow and learn interesting things, including this:
During the Ming dynasty, preservation after death was thought to "reflect your purity" in life, [historian Timothy] Brook explained.
Had this woman's family known her body would be preserved for more than 600 years, they would have been extremely proud, he added.
There are a few additional pictures in this article in the Daily Mail.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science offers some background on this Tarim Basin mummy:
Beautiful "Baby Blue," an 8 month old boy, was lovingly placed in a red-purple blanket and wrapped securely with red and blue twisted cord. The baby's eyes were covered with rectangular blue stones. His blue felt cashmere cap with a red felt lining encircled a tiny face that was covered with paint. A few strands of brown hair with red highlights escaped from under his bonnet. "Baby Blue" lived during the 8th century BCE.
Quigley's Cabinet also notes that his nose was plugged with red wool and that he was buried with a baby bottle made of sheep's udder.

This is the Siberian Ice Maiden. She lived (probably nomadically and definitely tatted-up) on the steppes of Siberia sometime around the 5th century B.C. She was likely in her twenties when she died, and she was buried in the spring.
She was found in 1993 along with six horses and much finery. Fortunately for her discoverers, her grave flooded, causing a 2400-year-strong block of ice to fill out her hollow burial chamber. Unfortunately for you, I do not have a better picture to share.
From Wikipedia:
She may have had the elevated status of a priestess in her community based upon the items found in her chamber. The Ice Maiden's preserved skin has the mark of an animal-style deer tattoo on one of her shoulders, and another on her wrist and thumb. She was buried in a yellow silk tussah blouse, a crimson-and-white striped wool skirt with a tassel belt, thigh-high white felt leggings, with a marten fur, a small mirror made from polished metal and wood with carved deer figures, and a headdress that stood nearly three feet tall. The size of the headdress necessitated a coffin that was eight feet long. The headdress had a wooden substructure with a molded felt covering and eight carved feline figures covered in gold. There were remains of coriander seeds in a stone dish that may have been provided for the Maiden's medicinal use.
Others have speculated that the coriander seeds were meant to disguise the corpse smell.
Unfortunately #2, the handling and transport of her body after its discovery did not proceed without serious hiccups. From NOVA's article "Unquiet Mummies":
Soon after the Siberian Maiden was found, for example, her protective shroud of ancient ice melted away and she began to decay. Preserved intact for two millennia, she was now assaulted by airborne fungus and bacteria, dehydrated by low humidity, and struck by the first sunlight she'd seen in thousands of years. […] Within days it became apparent to the Russian archeologists who had discovered her that the mummy was degrading rapidly.
They helicoptered her to the Siberian city of Novosibirsk, but the unrefrigerated delay, including almost a week of transport, took its toll. Even in the freezer labs of Novosibirsk the mummy slept uncomfortably. Hardy fungus attacked air-exposed skin and began to damage it. Desperate to stop the decay of their prize, Russian scientists chose to inter her in the same kind of pickling vat that preserved the bodies of Vladimir Lenin and Josef Stalin.
The Ice Maiden is one of several Iron Age burials found in the Pazyryk Valley, in Siberia's Ukok Plateau. You can read more about the Pazyryk burials here.

This mummy has been preserved extremely well, with the entire body covered in an even layer of thick, milky white substance. The "beauty" has thick, flaxen hair that has grown long down to the chest. Except for the head, calves, and feet, the entire body was wrapped in a wide, white wool cloak. She was buried with three small pouches that contain broken pieces of ephedra, a kind of evergreen shrub with medicinal properties, and a wooden phallus was placed on her chest.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) - The iconic Eugene Talmadge Memorial Bridge that spans the Savannah River and serves as a backdrop for many tourist photos could soon have a new name.
There is support from the Chatham County delegation in the General Assembly and from city hall to remove the Talmadge name.
Republican Rep. Ron Stephens of Savannah said there is pretty much a consensus among legislators to change the name to Savannah Bridge or Savannah River Bridge. He said the delegation expects to prepare legislation soon to change the name.
Savannah Mayor Edna Jackson told the Savannah Morning News that she favors removing the Talmadge name because it's an insult to the African-American community.
Talmadge served three terms as governor and was an advocate of segregation.

WAFF began looking into Cypress Creek Organic
Farms four weeks ago. The Better Business Bureau, the USDA, and the attorney
general all received complaints about the company after our investigation
After our stories aired, the company also
pulled ads claiming farmers could make $25,000 just by growing organic tomatoes
for Cypress Creek. In the past week, most if not all of the employees left the
We have been told by the company's CEO, James
Lawhorne that he plans to step down because of what we uncovered about his
criminal past. However, ownership of the company remains in his hands.
The earnings claim of farmers making $25,000
to $40,000 a year just by growing organic tomatoes is what made WAFF and the
BBB take a closer look at Cypress Creek Organic Farms.
"The business plan and the earnings claims
wrapped around the fact that you are going to make this money because you can
sell them for three times as much being certified organic. What we are finding
is that a lot of this was not true. The demand wasn't there, nor could they
guarantee that you could be certified organic," said Michele Mason of the BBB.
The promotions, and even down to the company
contract, say you can grow and get trained to be a certified organic farmer
with the company. However, our investigation uncovered a long list of
inconsistencies of what people were told during the sales pitch of Cypress
Creek Organic Farms, and what they've actually been able to accomplish with the
In an attempt to remove the "F" rating by the
BBB, the company did provide some information. The company's marketing director
at the time said they were purchasing seedlings from a business called Selected
Plants in Hamilton.
There's even a link on their website to get
you to Cypress Creek if you're interested. In the contract we obtained, it says
you will be delivered organic seedlings. But after checking, we discovered
Selected Plants is not a certified organic supplier.
"The problem is the company offering this,
themselves, were not certified organic," said Mason.
Another reason the company had to pull the
USDA's Organic Seal off their website.
When it comes to who was demanding tomatoes,
Cypress Creek's website listed more than 20 restaurants and grocery stores
where you could eat their tomatoes.
We checked, and some weren't even buying
them. They have also been pulled from the website.
The BBB's Michele Mason is also receiving
complaints about the promise of grant money.
"There is no reference in the contract about
them securing grants for you, even though we were told verbally people thought
that they could get a grant that would offset the investment," said Mason. "A
number of things people indicated that they were told at the point of sale that
they aren't seeing in the contract and that they aren't realizing either."
The Lawhorne family once claimed they had
been in the farming business since the '60s with a farm on top of Keel
Mountain. We couldn't find any tomatoes or a farm.
The business license for Cypress Creek was
issued in April, and since, around 250 people bought into the concept that 300
tomato plants would turn into some serious green.
When we crunched the numbers using Cypress
Creek's figures, on average, two crops a year could yield 25 pounds of
tomatoes. Times 300 plants, would give you 7,500 pounds. Cypress Creek said
organic tomatoes can be sold at $2.50, and they promise affiliate farmers on
their website 85% of the royalties, which would come to close to $16,000.
That's if every farmer has success growing.
The company said they are selling greenhouses
so farmers can grow year-round, but they are really high tunnel houses. "They
were never intended to be used for year-round production," said Dr. Joe Kemble
of Auburn University.
Cypress Creek modified high tunnels by
installing fans and heaters. Dr. Kemble, an extension vegetable specialist and
professor at Auburn, said growers may eventually run into problems. "If you are
trying to grow tomatoes in a high tunnel in winter time, you are using a really
inefficient system. No matter what you do, the ground is going to be cold."
Kemble said the cold temperatures would slow
the plants' production, and they wouldn't ripen properly.
Company leaders have not addressed any of
these issues. In fact, since Monday, calls to the company go straight to
voicemail. Frustrated farmers got the same response this week and came to the
office for answers. Some told us their greenhouses were still missing parts. Some
still don't even have a greenhouse.
"I don't know how to run a company," said one
farmer, "but I think I can do better than this."
The woman, who did not want to be identified,
invested in the company back in July. She has a greenhouse, but she is missing
a heater and still doesn't have tomato seeds to plant.
"He says just bear with us, we are going to
still grow tomatoes. I'll buy all your tomatoes. I found out he's never ordered
the furnaces at all," she said.
Just a few days ago, Bradley Wilson handled
all marketing for the company. Monday, he and several other employees walked
"Jamie had a quick meeting with all the
employees to see if any of the employees would give him any support. The
employees stated that they didn't want to be a part of the company anymore. At
that point, Jamie left," said Wilson.
He did not return, but his son Brandon did,
locking the doors.
In all of what we uncovered, it begs the
question if Cypress Creek Organic Farms really set their growers up for
We had hoped to sit down with CEO James
Lawhorne to get answers to some of our questions. He put off our request for an
interview, but we will keep trying.
Lawhorne did tell us Cypress Creek Organic
Farms is in the process of filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and the company
only has a little more than a half million dollars in assets.

We've put together 20 Rock Radio experts from across the country to form our Rock Nation Expert Panel. These select few will be tasked with putting together their rankings for various polls and concepts, all for your entertainment.
Here comes their list of the top 10 songs of 2013:
Tops songs of 2013:
10 - Korn "Never Never"
What shock it was when we heard that Head was coming back to Korn. The first song we heard featuring the reunion Head and Korn since 2004 was "Never Never"...and maybe you were hoping for more. If you were expecting the old school "Blind", "Freak On A Leash", or "Make Me Bad" Korn, you may have been disappointed. But this was a new direction for Korn, not just musically, but personally as a band. Jonathan Davis discussed his personal movement away from antidepressant medication, and the maturing of all the members. This isn't the same frustrated, angry Korn from the 1990s, this is a new Korn, which is good news for fans looking for that new sound...but for old school Korn fans, this wasn't what they were hoping for.
9 - In This Moment "Whore"
Last year, In This Moment forced themselves into the mainstream world of rock music with the album (and single of the same name) Blood. In 2013 they continued to assert themselves with the song "Whore". Now when you have one of the hottest woman in rock as your lead singer, and she oozes sexuality on stage, and you're going to create a song called "Whore"...yeah, you're going to have some success. That's not to say the only reason anyone cared about the song is because it was over-sexed...the song is GOOD too. It became a female-rock anthem in 2013. This isn't the last time we're going to hear from ITM, they're set to take it up a notch or two in 2014.
8 - Queens of the Stone Age "My God Is The Sun"
Queens of the Stone Age just knocked down a Grammy nomination for "My God Is The Sun", but after all of the crap the Grammy Awards just served us, that's not saying a whole lot, but it's one of the rock nominations they got right. "My God Is The Sun" was the perfect track for QOTSA to bring us against the backdrop of everything else going on in rock in 2013. Bands from the 90s coming back, alternative rock losing its moral compass, metal having a love/hate with its biggest artists...having that cornerstone of QOTSA coming in and doing what they do, and doing it well, is exactly what rock needed. So thank you, thank you Queens of the Stone Age.
7 - Stone Temple Pilots "Out Of Time"
Ladies and Gentlemen, we just lost cabin pressure. Half of the people reading this just scoffed audibly at this. The other half said "They came in at 7? That's not bad." Stone Temple Pilots blew everyone away at the beginning of the summer when they showed up, unannounced, to intro their new lead singer...Chester Bennington. Now it could have gone REAL bad for them right then and there. But when people heard the song they released (right at the moment that they showed up on stage, they posted the song for free download online) they realized it was good. It was REALLY good. There were still the purists who fought against it, and refused to admit the song was good, based only on the fact Scott Weiland isn't the singer anymore. But you know what, it's a good song, and its a monumental moment in rock history. We should all take a moment to appreciate what's in front of us while its here.
6 - Five Finger Death Punch "Lift Me Up"
Take one of the biggest bands in rock, add in the godfather of modern metal Rob Halford, and you have a gigantic hit song. The band, and Halford, premiered the song at the Golden God Awards in May, and the fire started on that stage. The song burned through the summer, and pushed the sales of their album The Wrong Side of Heaven and Righteous Side of Hell Part 1 to massive sales figures. Though not everyone was excited about it; the 5FDP fans who love "War Is The Answer" and the 5FDP "haters" found common ground over this song. The detractors pointed out quickly that it sounds exactly like their previous effort "Under and Over It" and the old school Knuckleheads wanted a more "violent" sound. Love them or hate them, Five Finger Death Punch continued their capitalistic ways by selling a massive volume of music and concert tickets in 2013, and also scored the 6th spot on this countdown.
5 - Alice In Chains "Stone"
The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here from Alice in Chains will go down as one of the top albums of 2013. Just as 2013 arrived, so did a new single from AIC ("Hollow") with the confirmation from Jerry Cantrell that a new studio album was on the way for 2013. They kept a lot of the details secret, not releasing artwork or an album title for months. But once it was unleashed, it changed the history of rock. Literally. That's not just hype...Layne Staley, AIC's original lead singer, performed with the band between 1990 and 1996. He did not perform with the band after that, and passed away in 2002. The 2013 release of The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here marks the 7th year that new vocalist William Duvall has been with the group, he joined in 2007. William Duvall has been the lead singer with AIC as long as Layne Staley was. Think about that.
4 - Pearl Jam "Mind Your Manners"
Speaking of 90s grunge bands throwing down new music, Pearl Jam went evil cartoon villain on us by using big countdown clocks to make a couple of announcements this year. On July 1st they put up a countdown clock on their website. When that clock ran out they announced their 2013 tour schedule...which got people excited...but then they reset the clock, and that started the speculation. Once the second clock ran out BOOM, here comes a new Pearl Jam album and here's our new song "Mind Your Manners". Which took EVERYONE by surprise in one way or another. You were either surprised that Pearl Jam was finally giving us their 10th studio album, or you were surprised by the "punk-infused" sound of "Mind Your Manners", because it doesn't sound like Pearl Jam. But it was GOOD...really good. Even for people who don't generally like Pearl Jam, they found themselves enjoying this song. Knowing that a band can find a new sound and crush it after 10 studio albums has to give you hope that other bands can still evolve moving forward!
3 - Alice In Chains "Hollow"
Yup, they got two songs on this countdown. Alice In Chains owned 2013. When we look back on this year in 2023, what will we remember most? The Devil Put Dinosaurs Here and the singles from it "Stone", "Voices", and most importantly "Hollow" will go down as the musical masterpiece of this year. The first time you heard the heaviness and crunch that AIC brought to the party with "Hollow", you knew this was different. It was different than Black Gives Way To Blue, it was different than 90s Alice In Chains...this was special. They figured it out. "Hollow" was the band's 4th #1 single...EVER. This is the definitive new sound of AIC, and the hope is that it influences a new generation of Jerry Cantrell's out there.
1 (tie) - Avenged Sevenfold "Hail To The King"
This will be a fight. Yes, we have a straight TIE at the top of the chart. We had 50-60 songs that our panel reviewed, and we had some STRONG opinions from our experts on songs like Five Finger Death Punch "Lift Me Up", Volbeat "The Hangman's Body Count", and this song "Hail To The King". Some voters only wanted to vote for Volbeat, others only wanted to vote for A7X...but "Hail To The King" ended up with 9.3% of the total vote, putting it in a tie for the #1 spot.
Now think back. Remember what it was like in July when we first got this clip:
People went ape...this sounded fantastic. Then after the full song was released, you had some people immediately saying "that sounds like a cover of AC/DC 'Thunderstruck". But the A7X faithfull didn't care. They did however care when Machine Head frontman Robb Flynn publically referred to the new A7X album as a "covers album". They cared by sparking internet-caps-lock-fights with anyone who sided with Machine Head. After the dust settled on that issue, Avenged Sevenfold still made a killing this year. "Hail To The King" was one of the biggest songs, the album of the same name was one of the highest selling albums of the year, and their tour was full of sell outs. I think A7X is just fine with the critiques from others, as long as the fans keep coming out.
1 (tie) - Pop Evil "Trenches"
Yup, with the same volume of votes as "Hail To The King", Pop Evil's "Trenches" tops our list. Think about how this year started for both bands, and to have them both end up at the top, is kinda weird. Avenged Sevenfold is a summer festival headliner, with a pile of hits songs on their resume...Pop Evil is an up-and-coming band that used this song to score their FIRST #1 hit this year. When A7X announces a new album, some "critics" already pencil it in for "Album of the year" before they even hear it, when Pop Evil puts out a new album with a #1 song (potentially two as "Deal With The Devil" is on the verge of going #1 as it sits at #2 while this is being written) and catches the attention of the rock world though the sound of their music and not their name, you don't see it pop up on many end-of-the-year lists. These two bands are at opposite ends of the spectrum right now. But that may not last long. If Pop Evil continues to produce songs at the quality level of "Trenches", this won't be the last time you see them top a "best song" list.
