From Eminem's
The Slim Shady EP
and Iron Maiden's
Maiden Japan
to Nine Inch Nails'
, Slayer's
Haunting the Chapel
and more, the 411 staff counts down their top 5 extended play albums of all time!
THE TOP 5 EPs
Honorable Mention:
Metallica -
Creeping Death/Jump in the Fire
: It was either this, or the original, 'Garage Days' EP, and I decided to give this one the nod. This is a re-release of the 'Jump in the Fire', and 'Creeping Death' singles. Got to love all of the songs on both of them, two classic studio tracks, as well as two of their better NWOBHM covers, and 2 live tracks from 'Kill 'Em All'.
Anthrax -
I'm the Man
: I may or may not get made fun of for putting this up here, because it's pretty damn goofy. But this is a bunch of really goofy dudes doing a goofy rap song (maybe a rap song). This also has a really good, 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath' cover, a good live 'Caught in a Mosh' and my personal favorite Anthrax song, 'I Am the Law'.
Emperor -
: This is the 5.5 on my list. This is EP was the first non-demo release by this awesome band. This EP is pretty much standard black metal fare production wise, but what is under that murky production is what makes it special. Half of the songs on this 4 song EP made it on to the legendary debut album, 'In the Nightside Eclipse'. They all have a great atmosphere and all kick ass.
5. Mercyful Fate -
Mercyful Fate
I'll admit, when it comes to Mercyful Fate, I am not exactly the most versed on their discography, I know, metal sin. But after listening to this EP, I am now going to have to go dive, Scrooge McDuck style, into their discography. The song, "Corpse Without Soul," was one I was familiar with through Metallica, but the rest were new game. I can't believe that none of these tracks made it onto, 'Melissa', though those songs are legendary in their own right. This has King Diamond's wailing at a high, which at the time, was probably one of the coolest experiences as a first time listener back in the day, listening to this guy belt it out like few could. The songs are pretty damn awesome, some aggressive, some with just a typical driving beat, but all of them are great and worth many listens.
4. Mayhem -
Maybe I'm overrating this album, but this is pretty significant in black metal history. This album is RAW, not as bad as the bootleg Death demos, but this is pretty raw. Like Oscar the Grouch is pissed because they recorded this in his trash can raw. But regardless, there are some fine songs on here, such as, "Deathcrush," my personal favorite song title ever, "Chainsaw Gutsfuck," "Necrolust," and "Pure Fucking Armageddon." Thrash speed on top of proto-black screams, this is a very odd listen, because there are some things muddled in the production, and some things seem a bit random. But this is more than deserving of being this high, because after a few listens, you'll fall in love with this album like many others have.
3. Slayer -
Haunting the Chapel
If only this EP were just a little bit longer, it might have went higher up here. There is no reason why it shouldn't be at #1, as all of these EPs have an argument to be that high. This has three songs that could easily fit on a "Best of" with no problem. All of the songs are old-school Slayer, with fast riffs, lightning quick solos and a few broken necks in between. It was packaged with the re-release of 'Live Undead' if you ever have a problem tracking it done.
2. Iron Maiden -
Maiden Japan
I did not know that this was an EP, I was already convinced that it was a full release, since Iron Maiden loves to release live albums. Anyways, this EP is the last one with their original singer, Paul Dianne, and he does a damn good job on this album, that cannot be disputed. Apparently, this whole concert was remastered and released in full back in 1999 and it had all of the songs on it. The songs on here are your typical Maiden classic, "Running Free," "Killers," "Remember Tomorrow," "Innocent Exile." Definitely something to go look back on since Paul Di'Anno's tenure is not as fawned upon as Bruce Dickinson's (though I still do like Bruce Bruce more).
1. Celtic Frost -
Morbid Tales
This was the first taste of any Celtic Frost anyone ever got. No wonder they got so popular in the metal community. This EP has everything you could want in metal, great solos, CHECK!, some thrash sections, CHECK! traditional metal sections, CHECK!, Tom G. Warrior letting his typical growl, DOUBLE CHECK! It even has a perfect guitar tone! This is almost death metal, it might even be death metal, and it's pretty much the first band to do death metal, along with Possessed and Death. There is no reason why you shouldn't headbang to this, it was rereleased in the 90s. Go listen to it, NOW!
For my EPs, I decided to leave out options such as the many Peel Session EPs, the iTunes exclusives, live performances and so on. This is intended to be extended play albums of entirely (or almost entirely) new music from the bands in question.
Honorable Mention: Interpol -
, Black Flag -
Nervous Breakdown
, Fugazi -
Chronic Town
R.E.M.'s debut EP followed the success of their single "Radio Free Europe." The band worked with producer Mitch Easter for a second time here, and his influence can be absolutely be heard both on the album and throughout the band's career as he encouraged them to experiment with the sound of their music, as well as the way that they recorded. All five songs on this EP show just how good the group had the potential to be; you can hear the signature garage pop sound of the band formulate on this one. This was where one of the biggest acts of the last couple decades in the 20th century came to pass.
4. Alice in Chains -
Jar of Flies
My list has a lot of debut EPs that came about before the artists in question became famous. This is not one of those EPs. Alice in Chains was already a force to be reckoned with in rock music when they decided to record
Jar of Flies
, their third EP, in 1994. The album became the first EP ever to debut at #1 on the Billboard Album Chart and truly solidified the group's popularity. There are almost too many songs to consider it an EP; it ranks at seven songs and thirty minutes, which is kind of the outside length. But an EP it remains and every single song is fantastic. It's probably one of the most well-known EPs and definitely one of the best.
3. Eminem -
The Slim Shady EP
This was the beginning of Eminem as we knew it. Released in 1997, this EP was the precursor to
The Slim Shady LP
and was Eminem's first solo EP after his time in Soul Intent. Some of the tracks on this are ones you'll recognize as much more well known parts of Mr. Mathers' repertoire; "Just the Two Of Us" became "'97 Bonnie and Clyde" on
The Slim Shady LP
and "Just Don't Give a Fuck" transferred to that LP with the same name. This album was where Eminem debuted the Slim Shady character, he took on more of a story-telling aspect and he began exploring the themes that would be his bread and butter once he hit big. This is where Eminem came from and as such cannot be denied.
2. Joy Division -
An Ideal for Living
Joy Division was not the gloomy, atmospheric band that we all came to know and love as the group that changed the post-punk era when they recorded
An Ideal for Living
. And in fact the four songs contained on this album are a far cry from "Transmission," "She's Lost Control," "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and the rest of the songs the band would become famous for. But that doesn't mean they aren't amazing. Ian Curtis and company are at their absolute punkiest on this album and while it may not be as refined or focused as their two LPs where they would develop the sound we know,
An Ideal for Living
takes the groups extraordinary talent and applies energy to it. As amazing as the band became in their signature sound, they made one hell of a punk band too.
1. Nine Inch Nails -
This is the end-all, be-all of EPs as far as I'm concerned.
is kind of the perfect example of how an EP works best; it is laser-focused and every single song has a power that you just can't achieve on an LP for fear of burning your listeners out emotionally.
earned Trent Reznor his first Grammy Award for "Wish" while the rest of the tracks hold nothing back, from "Happiness in Slavery" to "Help Me I Am in Hell" and everything else. It is the quintessential EP and everything that you could ask for in the format.

Guardian :: The Daily, Rupert Murdoch's tablet newspaper, has laid off close to a third of its staff just 18 months after its glitzy launch. Executives at the News Corp-owned title told its 170 employees on Tuesday that 50 of them would be let go.

Monday Note :: For The Daily, this might be its first problem: It is everything and nothing special at the same time. It's not a tabloid, but it doesn't carry in-depth, enterprise journalism either. It's a sophisticated container for commodity news — i.e. the news that you can get everywhere, in real-time and for free. If I crave celebrity fodder, I go to TMZ or to the Huffington Post. If I want business news, I'll find everything on CNN Money or Business Insider, all very efficiently and appealingly edited. No need to go through the tedious download of a 100 pages-plus issue.
[Frédéric Filloux:] Real time is now mandatory, so is the ability to generate conversations.

Capital New York :: About two weeks ago, The Daily embarked on a bid to expand its mobile readership by launching an iPhone edition. How's that been going so far for the 15-month-old News Corp. tablet tabloid? "Phenomenal," said editor-in-chief Jesse Angelo on Monday. "Lots of subscribers have signed up at a higer rate than I thought."

New York Times :: The Daily, begun with sky-high expectations when Apple's iPad was being promoted as the savior of the publishing industry, has struggled to break into the national conversation or to drive news and build on its brand the way traditional outlets do. In part, The Daily has been limited by the structure of the app itself, which renders beautiful pages of text, photos and graphics but lacks the fluidity of the networked Web or the immediacy of blogs and Twitter.

Myrna Bethke: Peaceful Pastor The Rev. Myrna Bethke, 46, lost her youngest brother on Sept. 11, 2001; he worked on the 95th floor of Tower One. Ironically, on her late brother's birthday the United States dropped the first bombs on Afghanistan. Bethke disagreed with returning violence for violence and, instead, found herself longing to do "something" toward forgiveness, restorative justice and reconciliation.
In January 2002, Bethke learned about a group of Sept. 11th survivors called Families for Peaceful Tomorrows who work to prevent their losses from being used as a justification for war. Today Bethke speaks to congregations, church groups, schools, colleges and seminaries. (For booking information, visit [link]www.peacefultomorrows.org)
In June 2002, Bethke, pastor of First Church in Freehold, N.J., joined an interfaith delegation that traveled to Afghanistan to meet with families of victims of U.S. bombings. While there, she shared her story at an interfaith prayer service with Afghan families and she donated $1,000—raised by her congregation and others—to a school in the foothills of Kabul.
In addition to contributing to the newly released book, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows: Turning Our Grief into Action for Peace (RDV Books/Akashic Books, (718) 622-6463), Bethke, a mother of two, urges the United States to remain in Afghanistan to help rebuild the fragile country.

Thursday morning during citizen comments at the Lubbock City Council meeting, two women addressed the pros and cons of having group homes in residential areas. The opposition says they're not against the concept of care in homes, but rather how many people they are putting under one roof.
A three bedroom house in Central Lubbock was almost bought by private investors. They wanted to transform it for 13 people to live in. It would have become a group home. A place to care for handicapped people, in a residential area. But the zoning board of adjustments denied the request last month. "The proponents were asking that we amend the ordinance to make it tighter," said Tom Martin, City Councilman.
Cathy Mottet would like to see that happen and has addressed the issue to city council. "For the city to not allow homes to be partitioned off to where they can slash a home and fit 13-18 patients in such a home where the home loses it's integrity of being a family home," she told NewsChannel 11.
In a document from the zoning department, we found that for the past 11 years, at least 11 group homes have been approved to house five people or more. So this begs the question; is group home care turning into big business?
Kenna Ortega denied our offer for an interview. She's the one who was going to buy the house and provide care for 13 elderly people. She says group homes are not to be taken negatively because group homes provide better one-on-one care in a home-like environment. And even with 13 people under one roof, she claims she could have done just that following state standards.
"Once you partition off a living room a dining room and garage, you no longer have a family environment. You have a business a big business in a neighborhood," said Mottet.
NewsChannel 11 has confirmed 10 group homes in Southwest Lubbock, eight in Central Lubbock, seven in Northeast Lubbock, four in East Lubbock and one in North Lubbock. A total of 30 group homes throughout the city.
The ordinance allows up to four people to live in group homes. If the group home is to have five or more, owners must have special permission from the zoning board. The city council says they will take a look at this ordinance at a future city council meeting.

The Best Moments Of My Year: 2011
5 Jan
Loyal Minions,
Here are the top 10 things that happened to me over the course of 2011; a year that took this website from an abstract idea into a household name. I owe everything to the artists I have covered, every promotion company that have booked them, and every person that attended their shows and/or read my reviews. I'm just happy I survived it all with some money left in my account and my hearing intact. Can't wait to see if 2012 can top its predecessor.
- Signed Sincerely, The Worst Guy
1. 48 Hours with Figure
There have been very few instances this past year where something life changing has happened to me and I decided against blogging about it. Meeting Josh Guard is among them. After purchasing tickets to cover the back-to-back shows he played in August, I informed him of how excited I was via email and didn't think much of it, as I had just recently come in contact with him following our interview. When the Toronto show finally came, Josh greeted me after his set with open arms and happily adorned the TWG shirt I gave him. I told him I would be seeing him the following night, exchanged numbers, and sauntered back to my ex-girlfriends apartment happier than a pig in shit. Then things somehow got more awesome.
During my subsequent coitus session, my trusty iPhone began buzzing violently on the side table and I glanced over in panic as I read the caller id: FIGURE. Before I could even say or do anything, my ex assured me that answering the phone was not the best idea if I hoped to retain my current predicament, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. I guess thinking with your head sometimes is a good thing, because as it turned out Josh was wondering if he could catch a ride with me to London later that day, instead of struggling to make his red-eye at Pearson airport. I of course obliged.
I picked him up the next day and we spent a good 3 hours meandering through Moog Audio in Queen West, and grabbing some Big Fat Burritos in Kensington Market before hitting the highway back west. On the drive he sat beside me on his laptop and happily worked away on his music while amusing my questions, which continued all the way into my apartment and throughout dinner. I then drove him to APK that night where he threw down a sensational set, and following the show he decided to bypass the hotel room that was booked for him and opted to come back and crash at my place. We stayed up until 4 am looking for the best 90s hip-hop to sample while reminiscing about both shows, and the following morning I dropped him off at the airport where we said our goodbyes. It was truly the best 48 hours I've had as a music fan to date, and I'm just lucky that Josh was awesome enough to have allowed for it to happen.
2. Interviewing Steve Duda
This one was actually a double-whammy, as arranging the interview with Steve involved attending the set he spun on The River Gambler in the middle of Lake Ontario this past May, which also featured a crew member that I had a hunch would be on board: Joel Zimmerman. For an entire sunny afternoon, the small group on board had an intimate DJ set courtesy of both Steve and Joel, as we sailed around the Toronto harbour side. This setting was also isolated enough to socially interact with the two of them in a civilized manor, and following his set I shared a couple of cigarettes and some light conversation with Steve, where he gave me the green light to rendezvous back at his place the following week for an interview.
After reading the address, I realized that Steve owned the bachelor loft adjacent to Joel's in Toronto, which has since been purchased, destroyed and amalgamated into what is now Deadmau5′s new super studio/lair downtown. The interview itself was the first I had done in video format, and Steve was a pleasure to have as the debut artist. His wealth of knowledge on almost every aspect of the music industry was simply astounding, and it was an incredible honour to sit as the lone audience to his muse for over an hour. Furthermore, he showed us a bunch of the new tracks and software VSTs that he'd been working on at the time, and graciously delivered my care package of cat-nip cigars and Whiskas treats next door to Prof. Meowingtons.
3. Interviewing Devin Martin
If you follow this website with any sort of regularity, it's not hard to see why this event made the top three. Devin has been my closest internet friend since we met on Skype last January, which gave me a front row seat to watch him evolve as a producer and climb his way up the Beatport charts. I have learnt more about the inner workings of the North American EDM industry from his tales than any other medium combined, and have had a great time befriending him in the process. He's the only guy that always has got my back, and I love the dude to death. Look out for our first actual interaction to be nestled atop this list come next year.
4. Dinner and a show with Porter Robinson
I was a big fan of Porter Robinson when I first began this website, which has fostered a healthy amount of posts dedicated to his music for the past year or so since. His reputation has done nothing but skyrocket in 2011, and thus I was given ample opportunities to go and see him live in and around Ontario, and even Quebec. By the time his Hamilton show in September rolled around, he had taken notice and was nice enough to invite the whole TWG crew to his dinner and pre-show party. The show itself had a couple of mishaps here and there, but in the end we all got blasted and had a lot of fun in the process. I sincerely hope that it wasn't our final encounter, as Mr. Robinson has a healthy sense of humor and I'd love to put it to the test once again.

5. Zedd Touches Down in Toronto
When Anton Zaslavski gave me my first interview last November, he was sitting at #4 in the Beatport charts for his remix of "Scary Monsters & Nice Sprites" and was still looking to get bookings outside of Germany. 4 months later, Zedd had already become a household name on blogs across the world and had finally been booked to play a show in Toronto. Meeting him for the first time was just as I expected, as his live demeanor was just as gentle and humble as his online one. However, what I never could have expected was that he would allow me to stand alongside him in the booth for the entirety of his show, and furthermore, encouraged me to jump around as emphatically as my body would let me. When it was all over I handed him over the first TWG shirt ever made, which I later learned he had been repping all across America during the inaugural OWSLA tour with Porter Robinson and Skrillex this past summer.
6. Seeing Madeon in New York
Upon hearing that Madeon was scheduled to make his first overseas appearance at Webster Hall in New York, I tweeted him congratulations and assured him that I would do anything in my power to make my way to the big apple to see it. About a minute later, a wonderful lady named Laura (Webster Hall's twitter-master) jumped into the conversation and assured she'd have a pass waiting for me if I made it down. Without thinking twice I grabbed my trustee sidekick (Dan O. Photos) and made the necessary bookings and arrangements. The concert itself was phenomenal, and served as the center-piece to what was an incredible weekend of roaming around Manhattan with a video camera. And to top it all off, I just happened to have been standing next to the founder of Elektro Magazine while I was documenting Madeon's show, which in turn landed me with my first actual writing job. I still have yet to finish compiling and editing all the footage from the trip, but the moment it's finished you'll be the first to know.

7. Having Bob Rifo Recognize My Review
I got into the EDM scene by being introduced to the music of Bob Rifo and The Bloody Beetroots back in 2008. Following the first show I ever saw them play, which was here in London, I wrote a crude review of the evening's affairs that included videos I had taken with my iPhone, as well as audio clips of the tracks from their set. The next morning I saw that what I had written had been published to the homepage of the Beetroots' website, and that Rifo had mentioned it in a tweet. I haven't looked back since.
Here's every life changing moment that happened at WEMF this year in chronological order:
- Attended first music festival in Canada
- Attended first music festival with less than 10,000 people
- Met Hooks from Zeds Dead and watched him tag live
- Met Brayden Ransome
- Met Danial Orchard
- Met TheKNWLDG.com
- Met OuterBass Productions
- Met Paul Harding from Pendulum
- Met Digitalism
- Met The Killabits
- Saw Andy C live
- Experienced my first Dubstep concert during a storm
- Experienced my first wedding during a music festival
Here's every life changing moment that should've happened at WEMF this year, but didn't, in chronological order:
- See Doctor P & Flux Pavilion live
- See Caspa live
9. Deadmau5 @ Lollapalooza
To put it bluntly, this was by far the most fun I've ever had at a concert. If I ever earn enough money in my lifetime to allow it, I'm going to open a club that features a dancefloor that can be doused by a simulated storm at the touch of a button. The combination of sliding around like a deranged lunatic and Deadmau5′s live presence put me in a 2 hour state of immaculate joy, and birthed what was hands down the most energetic crowd I've been a part of to date. Furthermore, the sight of over 250,000 muddy and destroyed Lollapalooza patrons flooding the streets of downtown Chicago is one that I won't ever forget for as long as I live.

10. The Mothership Weekend
In October of this year, all the hard work that Embrace had put into building a previous relationship with Skrillex came to a head. Somehow they managed to ink Sonny Moore to play at 3 separate venues in the span of 2 nights, and I was lucky enough to be given permission to cover all three. It was the 6th, 7th & 8th time I was to see Skrillex spin in 2011, and the first time seeing his new live setup which he has since dubbed, "The Cell." Furthermore he brought 2 artists along with him that I had been dying to see for the first time (12th Planet and Dave Nada), and gave me the opportunity to meet them and see them perform 3 times in a row. The only one that wasn't having a good time that weekend was my liver.

laurenlyon asked:
Woah, that's a crazy awesome dream! Did you happen to read my recent post about the dream I had while in Japan where my train filled up with water and goldfish? Part of me hopes that you didn't, as that would be an amazing coincidence. On the other hand, part of me hopes you did read it, as that would mean at least one person actually reads the stupid stuff I write about all of my pictures!
Regardless, I can't wait to tell Vicki that someone on Tumblr had a dream about her that involved play-doh! Haha!
Also, thanks so much for putting me in the same sentence with mega-talents Andre and Chris, you are way too kind. I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy!
That being said, I totally know what you're saying about feeling like you know folks on tumblr. Sometimes I wish that there was a Tumblr College where I'd get to live in a freshman dorm with all my favorite Tumblr friends. In that scenario I'd definitely be the guy trying to get everyone to sign up for intramural wiffle ball!
Finally, if anyone reading this is not yet following Laruen, I suggest you do so right now! She slays the black & white and eats composition for breakfast!

Adult Fiction MCCAFFE
Summary: At first it seems that she's living the elusive New York City dream. She's subletting an apartment with her best friend, Hope, working for a magazine that actually utilizes her psychology degree, and still deeply in love with Marcus Flutie, the charismatic addict-turned-Buddhist who first captivated her at sixteen. Of course, reality is more complicated than dreamy clichés. She and Hope share bunk beds in the "Cupcake"--the girlie pastel bedroom normally occupied by twelve-year-old twins. Their Brooklyn neighborhood is better suited to "breeders," and she and Hope split the rent with their promiscuous high school pal, Manda, and her "genderqueer boifriend." Freelancing for an obscure journal can't put a dent in Jessica's student loans, so she's eking out a living by babysitting her young niece and lamenting that she, unlike most of her friends, can't postpone adulthood by going back to school. Yet it's the ever-changing relationship with Marcus that leaves her most unsettled. At the ripe age of twenty-three, he's just starting his freshman year at Princeton University. Is she ready to give up her imperfect yet invigorating post-college life just because her on-again/off-again soul mate asks her to... marry him? Jessica has one week to respond to Marcus's perplexing marriage proposal. During this time, she gains surprising wisdom from unexpected sources, including a popular talk show shrink, a drag queen named Royalle G. Biv, and yes, even her parents. But the most shocking confession concerns two people she thought had nothing to hide: Hope and Marcus. Will this knowledge inspire Jessica to give up a world of late-night literary soirees, art openings, and downtown drunken karaoke to move back to New Jersey and be with the one man who's gripped her heart for years? Jessica ponders this and other life choices with her signature snark and hyper-intense insight, making it the most tumultuous and memorable week of her twenty-something life. From the Hardcover edition.

NUKU'ALOFA, Tonga, Nov. 28, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- While operators in major markets like the UK and the USA experiment with programmes using smart phones and credit cards, a small Pacific nation was propelled into the spotlight as a global leader in mobile payments earlier this month when Digicel triumphed at the Connected World Forum, winning the award for Best NFC Deployment for its 'Beep and Go' service.
Launched in the Kingdom of Tonga in July, 'Beep and Go' is the world's first fully inclusive payments network linking NFC point-of-sale (POS) terminals to mobile money wallets across the nation.
The Pacific nation is home to 105,000 people with significant ties to Australia, New Zealand and the USA and is heavily dependent on private remittances. In a developing economy where credit card and bank account penetration is low and very few people have smart phones, Digicel's service in Tonga is now recognised as a unique deployment of mobile-based NFC payments services. Any customer with a Digicel phone can receive international payments direct to their mobile and can then make purchases at over 150 retail stores across the Kingdom. Customers simply tap their mobile on an NFC-enabled POS terminal and enter their secure PIN to complete their transactions.
The Digicel service uses contactless stickers inside the device which have been specifically designed to provide reliable transactions no matter what Digicel mobile phone is used. These contactless stickers give current customers the possibility to use mobile phones to make payments while waiting for NFC handsets to reach critical mass.
The Connected World Forum is the world's leading event dedicated to mobile value added services (VAS). With over 1,000 leading experts focused on launching and scaling profitable Mobile Lifeline services, the Connected World Forum is considered the best place to discover the latest developments in mobile money, mobile health, mobile education, mobile agriculture and other mobile lifeline services.
Darren McLean, Regional Commercial Director at Digicel Asia-Pacific, said; "We are delighted with the award and recognition for the role Digicel is playing in helping to transform the Tongan economy. Financial inclusion is important in the Pacific and 'Beep and Go' is driving a major increase in the use of our Mobile Money services. The service is supporting local businesses across the Kingdom and Tonga is clearly at the forefront of innovation not just in the Pacific, but across the world."
Avid Digicel Mobile Money user, Tupou Riechelmann, commented on the benefits of the 'Beep and Go' service; "Many Tongans rely on money transfers from within the Kingdom or from relatives in Australia and New Zealand. Now with Digicel Mobile Money, Tongans can receive transfers or deposit money and then use 'Beep and Go' to pay for their food, petrol, restaurant bills and to buy goods at stores. It's fast and simple to use and has made shopping and paying for things an absolute breeze. For me, it really is a smarter way to pay."

HUNTSVILLE, AL (WAFF) - The owner of a Huntsville adult toy store is trading adult toys for guns this Valentine's Day.
Sherri Williams, owner of Pleasures, said the "Guns for Toys" event is her contribution to making love, not war in Alabama where guns are legal and adult toys are not.
Customers can bring in a gun in any condition to trade for an adult toy. Williams says all guns that were used in a crime will be handed over to authorities while all others will be placed in an auction for sale on the store's website.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit victims of violent crimes through the ACVCC.
Owner and licensed gun dealer David Smith of Blue Steel Gun Works will be at the University Drive store from 11:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. on February 8th through the 15th to assess the value and condition of the guns.
Williams says her goal is to take 300 guns off the streets.

SALISBURY, Md. - School's out for Thanksgiving break in Wicomico County.
But before students and faculty left, Mardela Middle and High School on Tuesday they packed up boxes of food for families struggling financially this holiday.
The project started decades ago initially collecting food for folks in Crisfield. But that all changed high school counselor Roland Finger says after the school noticed that "there was a need for families here."
Three years ago, they were helping 10 families. Now, they're feeding a dozen more.
Finger says most families get about 50 pounds worth of food, including a three pound ham, 15 pounds of venison and various canned goods. Finger says they hope the food lasts families all the way through Christmas.
"We never know what's going to happen in our life circumstances and so this opportunity for us to help families to at least lessen the load, lessen the stress during the holiday season," said Finger. "It's very rewarding."
The goodwill goes beyond the classrooms this holiday season. In Salisbury, Cathedral of Love Church is one of the many non-profits across Delmarva, whipping up home-cooked Thanksgiving dinners.
Elder Craig Wilson tells WMDT the church is expecting close to 200 people to attend on Thursday and church members are already preparing dinners.
"No matter what's going on, if you just lost your job [we wanted to help out]," said Wilson. "We're just grateful and humble that we're able to provide this to our community."
The dinner takes place on Thursday at 11 AM-1 PM at 423 E Church St in Salisbury. Wilson says volunteers are welcome to come out and would need to be at the church at 10 AM, an hour before the dinner.

Please, if you find a bug send me an email. Without detailed error description I often can't do anything especially when I can't reproduce it.
Important! If your phone removes the accounts on reboot, move the App back from SD card to the phone. Some phones (if not all) can't handle sync adapters on SD Card properly.
The last screen shot shows the calendar selection dialog of the event editor of the stock calendar app.

Generally this App has been great. But I did have a login issue one day where the program seemed to have forgotten my login information and wouldn't accept it when I re-entered. It turns out this was because there was an update that I hadn't downloaded yet. The error message did not point me in this direction, but luckily I found a forum that provided that tip. Would be better if error messages we

Beware, this app *does not* sync iCloud calendars on my new HTC One M8 running Android 4.4.2. However, it did sync ok on my previous phone, a rooted Samsung GS3 (Cyanogenmod) running Android 4.3.1. Did not get much help from the developer.

I had this problem with my R/T, I bought it new and thought the pedal either needed to break in or the grease needed to spread. After 1500 miles of squeaking, I took it to the dealer who greased both pivots, it worked for a little but the squeak came back. It was temp dependent and only did it half as much, but it was still there. I think they just used spray lube and didn't actually take it apart and grease the pivots. This is something I figured I could fix myself, but I didn't want to fiddle with it because it has a warranty so I took it back to the dealer. They ordered a complete new pedal assembly and installed it. I thought that was a little overkill, but it worked. The mechanic said although this is the first lx manual trans he has had to work on, he said it appeared that the upper bushing was never greased from the factory, he said the new assembly was greased. I have put about 3000 more miles on it now, not one squeak!, it really makes the driving experience more pleasant! Keep up with your dealer, it may be possible there was a run of pedal pivots that left without grease.
Per your advice and post, my dealer replaced the pedal assembly. It's squeaking worse than ever!!. The dealer is supposed to check with Chrysler to see what can be done to resolve the issue. I don't have high hopes of them fixing anything. Although I really enjoy my RT, with the issues I have had and the service morons I have run into at Dodge, this will be my last Chrysler/Dodge product.
Service Manager advised they have ordered a clutch slave cylinder. Thoughts??

Would you be angry, insulted, or feel imposed upon if the government made HIV testing mandatory for every citizen? Would you revolt? Or would you acquiesce because you were sure it was all part of an effort to stop the spread of the disease?
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is recommending that every American between the ages of 15 and 65 be tested for the virus. Everybody in that age range, regardless of personal history.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything (OK, just sometimes), but I wonder if there's a certain threat to civil liberties if the government were to line us up and make us all have a go at testing. Is that preventative healthcare or an exploitation of power?
On the other hand, some 20 percent of folks infected with HIV have no idea and probably have no intention to get tested because they think they're perfectly healthy. It's been a hard cycle to break, despite the push for public information and widespread advocacy, particularly in communities that have been hardest hit. And that's with the availability of free testing, new at-home testing kits, and celebrity spokespeople supporting the movement.
Still, a recommendation that everyone be tested seems like a precursor to something more… forced. And that, I'm sure, would infuriate and ostracize a whole heap of Americans, public health epidemic or not. You know we don't like anybody trying to tell us what we have to do. I can almost hear people seceding from the union now.
Honestly, is it really a bad idea? I get the whole Constitutional rights bag, but I sure am thankful that polio and TB vaccines were made standard and have put the chokehold on those public health threats. I don't see the harm in nudging people into knowing their status, especially since outreach isn't influencing some of us to get 'er done—even folks who know they haven't behaved responsibly.
After all of the energy invested into spreading knowledge, I still know people who get dangerously comfortable with a sex partner after a couple of romps in the sack, like the possibility of infection lessens as the relationship progresses. Commitment doesn't compromise the virus. Plenty of us now know that. But plenty isn't all.
Is mandatory testing for everyone between the ages of 15 and 65 a good idea?
Image via david__jones
When I lived in S. Korea, HIV tests were part of being issued a visa. They're a low-risk country, though. There's a lot to say on that subject (the Korean gov't putting up billboards telling Korean women that if they sleep with a Western man, they'll contract aids -- great propaganda), but we haven't got the time.
There are tons of places in the US to get tested for free. In Boston there are traveling STD testing mobiles. I don't think people should be forced into HIV testing (although in places like Estonia, maybe. They're actually in danger of wiping themselves out with the disease); however, I do think there should be a massive push (starting with sex education) encouraging people to get tested often. I get tested every year for everything regardless of being in a monogamous relationship and I'm horrified to learn that some of my very sexually active friends who have multiple partners have never been tested.
Own your health, people. And if you are afraid to get tested, do it for the other people you may end up hurting. There are no excuses. Go to your doctor. Go to your local Planned Parenthood. Go to a clinic. Go to a testing centre on wheels. Just do it. And talk about it! It's the only way to get people moving.
We're either free to decide for ourselves (about anything) or we are wards of the state with no choice in anything. Which do you want? It's absolutely hysterical to me that all the "stay out of my uterus", "it's my body, my choice", "keep your hands off my bush" feminists are all for giving up the right to choose in every circumstance other than abortion. Oh, the irony.
And PonyChaser, these people have most likely never even read the constitution and have absolutely no idea what it says, nor do they care. They are wholly governed governed by emotions and relative morality, by what "feels right". Which really means they are enslaved by their feelings and want everyone else to be the same.
I know, Florida. It's incredibly sad, isn't it? I weep for our country.
And FellyScarlet... what's the big deal? How about this: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
That's the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution. It doesn't surprise me that you don't know it.
That means that the government has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT to require that you take an HIV test, or any other test, donate your blood, or give any other part of your body, to them with a warrant signed by a judge, specifically detailing the probabability that you already have the disease and you have committed some offense with it. If you're just sittin' there, they can't require it.
That's why it's not "just a freakin' test".
And Felly, maybe you shouldn't ask such an inane question about a serious topic. Congrats on your degree in Anthropology. I hope it serves you well.

Hurricanes offensive line blames itself for Louisville loss, Wednesday notes
- 6:14 pm Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – It was the first time in his UM career, fifth-year senior Jon Feliciano said, that he's felt this way.
"I feel like we were the reason we lost," said Feliciano, the Hurricanes' starting left guard.
While the blame for UM's 31-13 loss to Louisville should be shared among the players and coaches, Feliciano and fellow veteran Shane McDermott took most of the blame Wednesday. They weren't the whole reason, but it certainly wasn't their best effort.
They were a major reason true freshman quarterback Brad Kaaya was sacked twice and hurried six times. They couldn't hold off Louisville's steamrolling defense, [More]
An educated guess at a pre-Louisville Miami Hurricanes depth chart, Al Golden says 'deuces'
- 2:06 pm Thursday, August 28th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – With the season-opener less than five days away, UM coach Al Golden has not released a final depth chart. UM will practice until Saturday, giving players to make last-minute cases for playing time.
Based on what we've seen all camp, let's assess potential starters, in order of "position is almost certainly settled" to "completely up in the air."
Let's talk defense, first
Three seniors who have played a lot the last three years – middle linebacker Denzel Perryman, defensive end Anthony Chickillo, defensive tackle Olsen Pierre – are sure to start against Louisville. Write those in pen. Perryman's backup [More]
Al Golden talks decision to sit Jake Heaps, QB race
- 12:08 pm Wednesday, August 20th, 2014 by Matt Porter
Coach Al Golden said on WQAM he wanted to sit Jake Heaps from Monday's scrimmage to rest his tired arm, but that decision does not mean he's made the choice to start Brad Kaaya against Louisville.
Speaking on the Joe Rose Show after 6 a.m. Wednesday, Golden said sitting Heaps was "my decision" and a choice made to not damage his arm.
"Talking to Jake yesterday, he's 100—I wouldn't say he's 100 percent, but he's ready to go today," Golden said, catching himself. "He feels good. Because we held him out of the scrimmage, he had three and a half days [More]
Jake Heaps held out of Hurricanes' final scrimmage, Brad Kaaya throws 2 TDs
- 9:22 pm Monday, August 18th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES — The Hurricanes expected their second scrimmage would help decide their quarterback race.
If the division of labor in Monday's scrimmage is any indication, they might have their guy.
According to a UM spokesperson, the Hurricanes held graduate quarterback Jake Heaps out of the scrimmage "to rest his arm." A source close to the program told the Post that true freshman Brad Kaaya took most of the snaps.
Kaaya and Heaps were listed as co-starters on UM's depth chart prior to the scrimmage, which was closed to the public and media.
Whether Heaps, who transferred from Kansas in an attempt to win [More]
Day 5 camp notes: Langham arrives, Canes get scrappy, epic Kaaya photo
- 3:15 pm Saturday, August 9th, 2014 by Matt Porter
Click here to read my Sunday Palm Beach Post story on Jake Heaps and Brad Kaaya emerging as front-runners in the Hurricanes' quarterback race. What follows is Saturday's practice report.
* * *
CORAL GABLES – All present and accounted for.
The newest Cane is No. 81, freshman receiver Darrell Langham. The Santaluces High product, the last of UM's 2014 signees to arrive, practiced while wearing a helmet, jersey and shorts.
Day 3 practice notes: Jake Heaps, Brad Kaaya standing out in QB race
- 9:56 pm Thursday, August 7th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – It's too early to call Jake Heaps the leader in UM's quarterback race. The Hurricanes haven't conducted a hard-hitting, full-out practice in full pads. They are days away from their first scrimmage.
But it's clear Heaps, the 23-year-old graduate transfer who came from Kansas looking to win the starting job, is having a strong camp.
Al Golden: Kevin Olsen 'absolutely' committed to Hurricanes, more news and notes
- 9:00 am Monday, August 4th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES – Al Golden would not confirm quarterback Kevin Olsen is – or will be – under suspension and said the troubled redshirt freshman will be present when the Hurricanes open camp Tuesday.
During a 28-minute press conference with local media and two morning radio appearances, Golden said any questions about Olsen's status would have to be answered by Athletic Director Blake James. Golden deferred to James when asked if Olsen's suspension was linked to last season, when he sat out UM's season-ending loss to Louisville in the Russell Athletic Bowl.
Through a team spokesman, James declined to address the issue.
According to the coach, Olsen is still a part of UM's quarterback competition. He said Olsen will "absolutely" be at practice when UM takes the field at 2:20 p.m. Tuesday.
Is Olsen still committed to being a Hurricane long-term?
Music video: Miami Hurricanes spring football highlights, March 26, 2014
- 10:55 pm Wednesday, March 26th, 2014 by Matt Porter
CORAL GABLES — The theme of today's Hurricanes music video: details.
Take a look at head coach Al Golden, defensive coordinator Mark D'Onofrio, offensive coordinator James Coley, defensive backs coach Paul Williams, defensive line coach Jethro Franklin and linebackers coach Micheal Barrowtry to get their players to pay attention to them.
We get up close with the players at practice, including Denzel Perryman, Ray Lewis III, Trent Harris, JaWand Blue and Jermaine Grace. There's also fresh perspective — for the first time this spring, we'll take an aerial look at Greentree Fields. We include some 11-on-11 play toward the end of the video (starts at 1:32).
By the way, that's wide receiver Braxton Berrios beating up a tire with a sledgehammer (it's good for the core strength).
A funny moment: at the 0:40 mark, watch cornerback Ladarius Gunter (on a bike, red jersey) and safety Rayshawn Jenkins fight a bee (for comedy purposes, here it is in Vine form).
Meet the new Canes: a field guide to the Miami Hurricanes' 2014 recruiting class
- 9:32 pm Sunday, February 2nd, 2014 by Matt Porter
Some college football fans follow recruiting obsessively, all year. With signing day coming Wednesday, the rest of you may need to do a little homework.
In the interest of being helpful, we put together a study guide.
For the most part, we know who will become new Hurricanes this recruiting cycle. Nine players are already on campus as early enrollees. Wednesday, somewhere around 16 more say they will sign letters of intent and become Canes. There are always late surprises, but the players below have said they are solidly committed to UM.
So, we dug up some need-to-know information about each player.
Along with their name, photo and status (committed, signed or enrolled), you'll find their vital stats and how they were ranked by the major recruiting sites. You'll also see my projection on their future role at UM, from talking to players, coaches, analysts, reviewing film and other research (these are not what I expect the player to do in Year One, but an idea of what they may be eventually. Also, the projections are solely for entertainment value). Finally, there are a few offbeat items about each player, plus links to their highlight tapes and video interviews.
Who is your favorite 2014 Hurricanes recruit? Let the world know in the comment section.
We'll update this post if there are any late additions or subtractions. On signing day, we'll change each player's status as UM receives their letter of intent.
See this previous post for an early look at the Hurricanes heading into spring practice, which begins next month. You'll find comprehensive information on scholarship numbers and a breakdown of who will compete for playing time at every position.
Meet the new Canes:
Kc McDermott, Braxton Berrios set to join Miami Hurricanes
- 12:11 pm Monday, November 25th, 2013 by Matt Porter
Taking advantage of a new NCAA rule interpretation, two Miami recruits on Monday took steps toward joining the Hurricanes early.
Offensive tackle Kc McDermott, of Palm Beach Central High, and wide receiver Braxton Berrios signed financial aid agreements which bind UM into giving them scholarships for the first semester at school. Both players plan to enroll in January.
Asked about the recruits on Monday, UM coach Al Golden said he could not comment since the school had not processed the paperwork.
While it is not the early signing period for which many coaches have clamored — Golden believes the NCAA should allow colleges to sign players before the December holiday break in order to cut down on last-minute recruiting madness — the NCAA's new regulation takes some of the drama out of the period leading up to signing day, which is Feb. 5, 2014.
The NCAA now says a student-athlete (in any sport) on track to graduate early from high school can sign a financial aid agreement as long as the college establishes the student is enrolled in the necessary coursework to graduate early from high school.
