Wes Scantlin -- Bench Warrant Issued for Puddle of Mudd Singer's Arrest - Watch More Celebrity Videos or Subscribe
Puddle of Mudd singer Wes Scantlin is a wanted man after yet another bench warrant was issued for his arrest. Scantlin was scheduled to appear in court last week for a progress report in his ongoing cocaine possession case, but he didn't show up, so a judge issued the bench warrant for his arrest. He pled guilty to felony drug possession last year but the judge agreed to delay his conviction for 18 months. During that time, he was ordered to enroll in a drug program and keep the court informed about his progress.
Similar bench warrants have been issued for Scantlin several times over the last year in the same case. More and more

-Kully Samra is UK Branch Director at Charles Schwab. The opinions expressed are his own.-
There is no doubt that since the lows in March 2009 the U.S. market has rallied massively. However, at Charles Schwab we believe that whilst economic progress will continue, we must look to the months ahead with some caution. We remain optimistic regarding the equity markets in the longer term and the economy in the short term, but recognise that increased volatility will likely characterise 2010.
Over the last month, we've certainly experienced a sense of this increase in volatility in the US markets and we would stress the importance of a diversified portfolio and an appropriate asset allocation that matches one's risk tolerance in order to combat this. Investors should also ensure that they assess and rebalance their portfolios to fit the market conditions.
Despite this, the U.S. economy is undoubtedly still continuing to improve, evident from the initial read on fourth-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) which presented a much-better-than-expected 5.7 percent. Up to this point, the recovery that we've witnessed since March 2009 could be described as V-shaped. However, it will become more difficult for data to continue to move in that nearly vertical pattern. This will likely result in at least some flattening in the rate of improvement in the economy at some point in 2010, possibly making the recovery square-root shaped.
One thing that we're keeping our eye on at Schwab is the increasing debt levels in the US. In the decade to September 2009 it's taken nearly 6 dollars of debt to create 1 dollar of economic growth. This is clearly not sustainable, and is a threat to the long-term stability of the US economy. To give this some context, in the 1950s, it took 1.36 dollars of debt to create a dollar of economic growth.

In December, we reported that elusive, damaged genius Brian Wilson was back together with the Beach Boys, the once-estranged group he'd helped to make great. This year, they plan to tour together and release a new album. And at this Sunday's Grammys, Billboard reports that they'll all perform together for the first time in decades. But here's the catch: They'll do it in a joint performance with Foster The People and Maroon 5. Grammys! You're fucking everything up! Again!
The Grammy producers' thinking, I suppose, is that the Beach Boys, Maroon 5, and Foster The People are all rock bands from California. Seriously, that's all I can come up with. That's it. If anyone can think of a justification for this trainwreck, the comments section is all yours.

My response may not be clever and hip, but this is why I think so…yo.
Maroon 5 and Foster are young and beach boys are old….but they all have one thing in common….they all write good melodies and have great voices and harmonies…..it opens up the eyes and ears to the younger audience that may not know how cool Beach Boys are. that very same thing happened to Madonna at the Super Bowl….my 9 y'old niece asked her mom Sunday night…who's that Lady Gaga person??? Her mom said…that's Modanna….my niece said…."I love her music!!!!" Isn't music made to share…for people to hear?
I really don't like Foster…i dig the Maroon….I think they write relentless melodies…and if you don't know any of their songs, or at least listen to them when they come on the radio….you are lying to yourself that you don't like it.
I'm actually interested to see this collaboration…see and hear it…..and then I will make my judgement.
seems like they just wanted to combine a reunion, a top 40 safe band and a "new fun indie" band. Kind of like when people combine hip hop, jazz and pop punk and it always works.
I bet Noah Lennox is really pissed that Adam Levine and Foster the People are performing with the Beach Boys instead of him. Then again, he probably doesn't care that much.
how are the beach boys similar to the other two?
Really? What about songs like "Miss You" and "Helena Beat". Plenty of vocal harmony.
mike love cold as hell
So would Bon Iver be somewhere in this mix had they not said no? In place of Foster maybe?
The Beach Boys reunite to play with The Bitch Boys.
This is going to be a train wreck of awkwardness.

BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Bowling Green men's basketball team used a 9-0 run midway through the second half to pull away from Mid-American Conference West Division leader Western Michigan Wednesday night, defeating the Broncos 70-60 in the Stroh Center.
The Falcons have won three of their last four conference games to improve to 10-14 overall and 5-6 in MAC play. Battling for possible byes deep into the MAC Tournament, Bowling Green would be the No. 4 seed, gaining byes to the third round, if the event were to start today.
A'uston Calhoun scored 24 points, his second-best scoring total of the season, on 10-of-17 shooting. The Falcons overcame a 38-28 rebounding disparity by forcing 18 Western Michigan turnovers and turning those into 24 second-chance points.
Western Michigan entered the contest as one of the best teams in the country at getting to the free-throw line and the Broncos did not disappoint, attempting 26, tied for the most an opponent has attempted in the Stroh Center this year. However, Western Michigan typically converts on those free-throws, entering the game at better than 70 percent on the season. But the Broncos made just half of the attempts.
Bowling Green shot 64 percent in the second half to take over after the game was tied at 30-30 at the break. In fact, Western Michigan briefly took a 33-32 second-half lead on a Brandon Pokley three-pointer but the Falcons responded with a 10-1 run and never trailed again. Chauncey Orr sparked the team with a pair of free-throws and a three-point play on successive possessions. Richaun Holmes scored on a tough move inside and Jordon Crawford knocked down a three-pointer that gave the Falcons their largest lead of the game at 42-34.
Western Michigan responded with three consecutive buckets and Bowling Green still led by just three with 13:38 to play at 44-41. A Luke Kraus steal turned into a Crawford fastbreak lay-up and the Falcons had the start of a 9-0 run that effectively put the game away. Western Michigan began a stretch of turnovers on five consecutive possessions and Crawford connected on a transition three-pointer, followed by lay-ups from Calhoun and Orr to make it 53-41.
Bowling Green pushed the lead to 15 on three different occasions and while Western Michigan rallied to cut the deficit to six with 57 seconds remaining, Bowling Green made its final four free-throws to ice the contest.
Along with Calhoun's 24 points, Crawford had 13 points and four assists, while Orr added 11 points and three steals. Kraus tossed in nine points to go with five rebounds , two assists and two steals. Holmes came off the bench to score eight points and tie his season-high with nine rebounds. He also had three steals and two blocked shots, giving him 58 for the season, just one shy of the school record.
For the game, Bowling Green shot 50 percent from the field, the third time this year the Falcons have made at least half of their shots. BGSU also moved to 9-0 all-time in the Stroh Center when scoring at least 70 points, reaching that exact total for the fourth time this year.
With the loss, Western Michigan falls to 15-9 on the season and 7-4 in MAC play. Bowling Green inches closer to the Broncos for the No. 3 seed and remains tied with Buffalo and Kent State for the fourth seed for the MAC Tournament.
The Falcons will hit the road to face Akron Saturday at 7:30 p.m. The Zips currently have a 16-game winning streak and are receiving votes in both major top 25 polls.

Bollywood needs to become global: Muzaffar Ali
[ Thu, Feb 28, 2013 ]
New Delhi, Feb 28 (IANS) His period drama "Umrao Jaan" still fascinates movie aficionados, and Muzaffar Ali is busy scripting two more historicals. He feels it's time for Bollywood to "become global" and for that Indian filmmakers should come out of their "middle-class flavour" and scan the "issues from the grassroots level".
"I believe that Bollywood needs to become global. We are still maintaining the kind of middle-class flavour that is becoming very hybrid," Ali told IANS in an interview.
"If we are promoting our culture, then we need to go totally local and see the issues from the grassroots level. By doing this, we can call ourselves a global medium. We are not able to get the communication wavelength right to create a world product," he added.
The artist, who is also a fashion designer, poet, music lover and a lot more, ventured into Bollywood with "Gaman", "Anjuman" and "Umrao Jan", among others. Most of his movies catered to niche audiences. He is also known for making documentaries like "Sheeshon Ka Maseeha".
He has however not gone behind the camera for over a decade.
"I am working on a few projects, but the only thing is that films today have become very different. One gets to see a lot of violence and vulgarity. These two factors work strongly in Bollywood. I look at films as a very sacred and powerful medium," he said.
"I believe if you divert from your ideologies, there is no point doing it. You have to be totally focussed...I cannot make a film for the sake of making it. It's not worth putting in two years or three years for a project in which you are going away from your ideologies and objectives," he added.
His next films will be on Sufi poet Jalauddin Rumi and empress Noor Jahan.
"I have completed scripting for the film on Rumi and the script for Noor Jahan is under way. I have done a lot of work on Rumi and now I need a big financier who can come and say, 'OK Muzaffar Ali, go for it'. I am waiting for people with resources to understand my thinking and support my ideas," he said.
He also felt that money comes to those films that have big stars.
"Today, people want a big male star for a big film. A female star cannot lift a big budget film; she is ideal for small budget films," he said, adding he is unable to understand "the market dynamics".
"I cast by heart and that phase has gone. I can't make films like 'The Dirty Picture' and 'Kahaani'. I want to make a dream," he said.
Continued on next page...
Is he open to working with commercial actors in future?
"Who am I to cast them? I think you should ask them whether they are willing to work with me. I am not close to anything, but I can't say anything. Bollywood is a tough medium, not an ordinary one," he said.
Asked why Bollywood makes few historical movies, the 67-year-old said: "Making historical movies is a separate art altogether and people in India don't know how to create historical illusions."
"So they go wrong in terms of design and research about a film. You need to do proper research before taking on such a project, but some people do exactly the opposite."
He also mentioned three other important factors required to make a classical movie.
"First, you need to realise why you are making a historical movie. And secondly, are you passionate about the subject and does it serve the larger human cause?" he said.
"Also, will you do the kind of detailing that is needed to create the illusion of time? Indian filmmakers usually do their homework to make a hit film, but not a classic. For me, making a hit film and making a classic are entirely different," he said.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has spearheaded a first-of-its-kind crackdown on supersized, sugary drinks — and now he'd like the whole state to do likewise.
Starting next month, the city plans to bar restaurants and many other eateries from selling some sugar-laden beverages in more than 16-ounce portions.
Bloomberg said Monday "the state should do exactly the same thing in stores."
Grocery stores are exempt because they're regulated by the state, not the city. But spokesman Marc LaVorgna (lah-VOHR'-nyuh) said later Bloomberg wasn't suggesting the state should impose the size limit in stores.
LaVorgna says Bloomberg just meant the rest of the state should adopt the city's policy.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo's office had no immediate comment.
The city says the limit will curb obesity. Critics say it hurts business.

The Samson Expedition XP308i portable PA audio system gives you everything you need in one lightweight package. Includes an 8-channel powered mixer, 2 PA cabinets,cables and a built-in iPod dock!
The Samson Expedition 308i Portable PA System delivers great sound quality yet is lightweight and easy to set up and operate. It includes two 2-way speakers with custom 8" woofers and a 1" tweeter in a custom horn. They produce a wide dynamic range of clear, loud, full-range audio that can fill up a small to sized venue with relative ease. They can be mounted on standard speaker stands, thanks to the integral pole mount receptacles. The XP308i is constructed using durable ABS, high impact plastic.
The Expedition 308i is powered by a full-featured 8 channel powered mixer. It stores easy into the rear of one of the speakers and can be removed and placed on a tabletop. It delivers 300 watts (2 x 150) and is a perfect match for the speakers. Its class D design provides plenty of power yet it is light in weight.
The mixer's first four channels feature 4 XLR microphone inputs, as well as 4 mono ¼" jacks. Switchable phantom power is provided enabling the use of your condenser mics. Channels 5 through 8 feature ¼" stereo input jacks as well as a set of RCA connectors. Each channel has high (HF) and low (LF) EQ enabling you to the tone to your liking. Rotary faders on each channel make it easy to adjust volume levels on the fly. There's a built-in high quality reverb for use on channels 1-4. It's switchable for each of the 4 channels.
Additional features include L/R monitor output jacks with a dedicated level control, independent of the master volume control. You can send out a signal to a powered stage monitor or house mixing board. A stereo pair of RCA jacks allows you to connect to a recording device such as an iPod, handheld recorder or laptop. There are a pair of ¼" speaker output jacks that easily connect right to the back of the speakers (cables included).There is a built-in iPod dock on the top panel of the mixer. It's compatible with most of the latest iPod models and enables you to easily play pre-recorded music through the system. For metering, a six-segment bar meter shows the XP308i's output level, easily readable even in dim-lit situations.
The Samson XP308i's "slide and lock" design with ergonomic handles makes it easy to carry the whole system in one hand. A handy, built-in compartment in one of the speakers offers space for your cables, microphones, guitar picks, etc. This system is perfect for small venues, coffee houses, classrooms, house of worship, business presentations, house parties…any place where quality sound is needed for music or the spoken word.
The Samson Expedition XP308i Portable PA System is the perfect solution for a quality, durable, great-sounding, feature rich system that sounds great and is truly affordable. Turn on, tune in, then stand back!

The Xpedition 308i is a great little compact PA system. If you have an acoustic trio, you're doing Karaoke or playing music in a small club it's perfect for a small gig. The system packs away easily behind the 2 150 Watt 8" speakers which are pole mountable.
The mixer has 4 microphone inputs, a built in iPod dock and has
reverb for each of the mixer channels.

The XP308I is a perfect first PA system for band practices, house parties, small outdoor events, or any venue or situation sporting a crowd of thirty people. The XP308I puts out 300 watts of power through two 8" speakers and has amazing connectivity: 4 mic/line inputs, stereo 1/4" and RCA inputs, and a 30-pin dock for your iPod or iPhone. The XP308I comes with speakers cables (though you may want to purchase longer cables depending upon speaker placement).
When not in use or in transit, the speakers and mixer lock together to make one convenient piece to move and it even has room in the back of one of the speakers for the power cable and speaker cables!

Great system for small gigs. If you play local coffee shops or bars or you need something for small speaking venues, ie: Churches, business functions, weddings, etc. This thing will definitely do the trick. This little wonder pays for itself.
Nice compact and portable means you can get your entire PA inside on one trip. Plus, who can beat that price?!
Only downside as others have stated, it only works with older iPhones and iPods. An adapter can be purchased to fix that problem easily however.

When you sign up for the Annual Pass, you select a WoW account that it will be applied to. If you have multiple WoW accounts, it only applies to one of them. You can add it to all of them if you like, but you are agreeing to pay for all of them for the next year.
Later, if you get the Diablo 3 Collector's Edition, you will get a code to apply to your account. This goes on your Battle.net account, NOT a specific WoW account. The D3 CE pet will then be applied to any WoW account on your Battle.net account, regardless of Annual Pass. You will also gain 4 free months of WoW game time. Currently it sounds like this is automatically applied to any WoW accounts that you have an Annual Pass on.
So if you have 3 WoW Annual Pass accounts and later get a D3 CE, you will possibly get 4 months free for EACH account. 12 free months! Wow. (Of course, you still have to pay for the other 8 for each account.) This might change and only allow you to apply the 4 free months to one account. We'll see. :)

WPF / Silverlight tutorial: Visibility property & binding
Dear visitor: Please keep in mind that this post is originally from Vibor Cipan's personal blog, the name of which we eventually adopted as our company name together with its conveniently-named URL. We're keeping the posts on our official company blog for all the subscribers to Vibor's blog who have read and commented on his previous posts. Please be aware that this post represents Vibor's personal thinking few years ago and doesn't necessarily represent the opinions of the UX Passion as a company today.
Visibility property is a very powerful and yet often overlooked property available in both WPF and Silverlight. It enables you to set Visibility of certain UIElement objects to different states like: Visible, Collapsed and Hidden (not supported by Silverlight). This tutorial shows you how to use it and how to bind to Visibility property.
Visibility is property available both for Silverlight and WPF. Completely technically speaking – Visibility property gets or sets the visibility of a UIElement – for example buttons or rectangles used in your user interface.
As a property, Visibility uses enumeration and not a Boolean. Reason for this is the fact that under WPF we can have three different values for the Visibility property: Visible (which is default value), Collapsed and Hidden. Silverlight's Visibility property is closely related. It supports all WPF values apart from the Hidden. Since Silverlight's architecture is somewhat modelled and based on the WPF, Visibility property under Silverlight is also using an enumeration rather than a simple Boolean.
So, to summarize…
WPF Visibility property enumeration: Visible, Collapsed and Hidden
Silverlight Visibility property enumeration: Visible and Collapsed.
What's the difference between Visibility property values?
Easiest way to understand this is to create a really simple UI.
1. Fire up your Expression Blend (you can use Visual Studio as well, but the instructions here are based on WPF) and start a new WPF project.
2. From the Asset library draw a StackPanel control on top of your artboard. Set it's Orientation property to Horizontal.
3. With StackPanel control selected, add three Button controls as a StackPanel's child elements. Name them btnVisible, btnCollapsed and btnHidden. Be sure to set the Height and Width properties of the StackPanel to Auto.
4. You can also set the Content property of the buttons to match their names closely – let's say: Visible, Collapsed and Hidden. You can set Margin values for all buttons to 3 just to have some space between them. At then you should be looking at the UI similar to this one:
And XAML for this layout is:
<StackPanel HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button x:Name="btnVisible" Content="Visible" Margin="3"/>
<Button x:Name="btnCollapsed" Content="Collapsed" Margin="3"/>
<Button x:Name="btnHidden" Content="Hidden" Margin="3"/>
5. Next step is to actually go and set different values for Visibility property. Select the btnCollapsed and set its Visibility property (Properties pane > Appearance section) to Collapsed. What do you notice now?
6. You can see that by setting the Visibility to Collapsed button completely disappears from the design surface and during the runtime.
7. Now, set the btnCollapsed's Visibility to Visible and grab the btnHidden and position it next to btnVisible making it all look like this:
8. Select the btnHidden and set its Visibility property to Hidden. What do you notice in this case?
9. Now the btnHidden is also invisible, but the space it occupies is still filled with the control itself though it is not visible during the design time and runtime.
Conclusion and few words about Visibility Binding
In the WPF architecture model, Hidden value describes the state where UIElement (control itself) is not rendered on top of the application surface but its space stays reserved. In the both Silverlight and WPF models, Collapsed completely removes the element and does not reserve space for it in UI layout. Visible simply displays the element itself.
Visibility property can be modified either through XAML:
<Button Visibility="Collapsed"/>
Or through, let's say C #code:
btnCollapsed.Visibility = System.Windows.Visibility.Collapsed;
Visibility Binding and BooleanToVisibleConverter
Since Visibility is an enumeration (both in Silverlight and WPF), in cases where you need to do binding, simply returning the Boolean (true or false) value for IsControlVisible will not work:
...Visibility="{Binding Path=IsControlVisible}"...
Solution is, however available and you can use the BooleanToVisibleConverter out of the box. First step is to include this converter into the resources – either on the application level or in the specific resource dictionary file:
<BooleanToVisibilityConverter x:Key="MyBooleanToVisibilityConverter" />
And then do the binding like this:
... Visibility="{Binding Path=IsControlVisible, Converter={StaticResource MyBooleanToVisibilityConverter}}" ...
Existence of this BooleanToVisibleConverter is very practical and surely can save you some time while coding and allow you to focus on other, hopefully, more important things.
However, I've missed to mention that earlier – BooleanToVisibleComverter is not available in Silverlight. I don't know for sure ill it be part of Silverlight 4, but currently, in the Silverlight 4 Beta it's still not there. Thanks @brian_henderson for heads up on this!
Let's keep in touch – You should follow me on Twitter now!

You could also use DependencyProperty to achieve the binding.
The type of the DP must be System.Windows.Visibility
I wrote a post that extends this post with more information.
Binding Visibility to a bool value in WPF
Hope it helps out readers who need a few more examples and need to do a little more customization.

|Hello! I recently bought three tillandsia and I have a couple questions about them.
How much sun and water do they need?
Is it best to keep them inside or outside?

|The how and where depends on your climate especially when it comes to moisture. I dont grow any of mine in full sun its to hot here. The right amount air flow is very important to tilly's. Once you get them happy they are an easy care plant.

|They are so pretty! I have several of them and I grow them on my south facing window sill with filtered light. I also have a few mounted as a live art picture frame. I spray mine twice a week with spring or purified water only. Tap water isn't good for them. Another method to watering them is soaking them for 30 minutes in a bowl, but in the morning only once a week. I don't grow mine outside as I'm afraid that a bird will grab them up as bird nest material. Good luck with your new babies and thanks for sharing :)

|tiller, are you saying you soak the heavy frosted plants?????
This post was edited by o2tiller on Tue, Jul 30, 13 at 12:52
|I've been getting away with soaking my heavily trichomed tillandsias as well, streptophylla, crocata, seleriana, and a pruinosa. I think as long as they're not sitting in a super high-humidity area after the soak it's fine. Even after an hour dip I notice mine dry out almost entirely after about 2 hours, indoors and outdoors.
|The above mentioned Tillandsias do not take kindly to heavy soaking. Their makeup is one where constant soaking will degrade the trichomes. A light misting would be best.
|I soak all my Tillandsias (which range from heavily frosted ionanthas to Spanish moss) in recycled fresh-water aquarium water (which has fish urine in it, naturally). The water I put in the tanks is Brita filtered, too. I spritz the plants with a combination of filtered water and tank water. I bathe every plant once a week on Sunday for at least an hour, but the greener, more delicate ones I'll often give a second soak for 1/2 hour on Wednesday (this all coincides with when I change out aquarium water; I had previously put that water on potted plants).
Lately it has been humid here in Albuquerque (20-30%! and it's been a little rainy). The plants don't seem to be begging for soaking like they did in drier times. My Tilliandsias have also been outside in a north-facing porch all summer. We get very bright light here and these days it is breezy, too. Recently I decided to set the grayer plants out in full sun for 10-15 minutes every afternoon because I wanted to see if that would help some of them turn a bit red or just make their lives more interesting, like the Xerographica and the Concolor. So far, so good.
I enjoy seeing people's pictures and reading about how they keep their plants happy.
|Albeit the soaking method may not be an optimal method of watering for many, It turns out that soaking has been favorable for my indoor Tillandsia throughout the years (including the species I mentioned above, along with the four mentioned by noah123).
I do agree that "constant soaking" has the potential to degrade the trichomes. In my situation (application of indoor controlled growing techniques) I have learned constant temperatures, lack of humidity, light intensity, photo-period duration, and good air flow, come into play with attaining a favorable outcome in regards to the soaking method.
Because of the southern 'right-coast' location where I reside (with extreme temperature & humidity shifts), my approach to growing/watering Tillandsia outdoors is a completely different scenario.
|True. Southern and Gulf resident's methods are different than those of us here in Southern Cal but no less effective. Your temperature and humidity extremes can really make it difficult. Here, my T. tectorums and all plants in that complex are lucky to get a thorough drenching once a month while some of you might soak them twice a week with great results.

|Beautiful plants o2tiller Im just getting started I have two. Is your tilly room seperate from your house and what kind of light do they receive.Also how many fans do you have and how often are they on.
|Appreciate the compliment, simplegreenguy.
Two... very often turns into 10, then 20, then...
My indoor Tillies are indeed kept in a separate room (but not separate from the house). I use a spare bedroom with one small south facing widow (have a small assortment in front of this window utilizing sunlight). The majority of my collection is kept inside different sized enclosures, mainly used for viewing.
Artificial lighting is used for the enclosures. Have been gradually switching over to LEDs during the course of the past 2 years. Still experimenting with different size diodes, different wattages, different lumen outputs, and different spectrums. Photo-periods (lights on) are 10-11 hours in the spring and summer, and about 9 hours in the fall & winter. I use 'very quiet' 12v d/c computer fans inside the enclosures to create air movement (on timers running 1/2 hour every hour when the lights are on).
Some of the mounts for my plants come from pine trees that grow around the house. I use pine bark slabs on a lot of my vertical spaces (free and easy to attach). Very easy to remove plants for watering or other maintenance.
