- airhead92 reblogged this from already-heardmusic and added:
Pretty interesting/funny article by Mikee J Reds on the X Factor and all it's clones.
- already-heardmusic posted this
This week Canterbury emo-rock four piece Moose Blood release their debut full-length.
Entitled 'I'll Keep You In Mind, From Time To Time', the record contains eleven songs that
wear their hearts on their sleeves and is wrapped in a plethora of catchy hooks. We spoke to two fourths of the band as drummer Glenn Harvey and bassist Kyle Todd discussed the
album, working with Beau Burchell, joining up with No Sleep Records, and more.
The new EP from Manchester's Hora Douse, 'Crash' is streaming right here on Already Heard. Give it a listen and relive those older days when post hardcore could be a little bit twangly.
Last month we were spoilt for choice when it came to picking our must hear releases for September, and October is no different. Find out what the Already Heard team picked out as their five essential releases for October.
On Monday November 3rd, Midland hardcore punk band We Fight Like Kids release their
debut EP, 'Superficial Behaviour'. However we're premiering their new video for 'Falconer' right here on Already Heard.
For Scottish quartet Alburn, their latest EP ('Mouthful of Glass') has been a longtime coming. Having undergone a slight line-up since their formation in 2007, 'Mouthful of Glass'
showcases a significant amount of growth and maturity. We spoke to Pete Duthie to ask him about the bands background, that inevitable Brand New comparison, the Scottish music
scene and more.
On first listen we fell in love Noyo Mathis and knew that 'Endure' needed to be heard. It's post hardcore meets emo meets indie meets math rock. Take a listen to the full EP right here.
Without a doubt Neck Deep are one of this years breakout bands. After kicking off the year
with the release of their debut LP, 'Wishful Thinking', the Wrexham pop-punk five piece haven't stopped touring since. From festival appearances throughout the UK and Europe to 2 months in North America as part of the Vans Warped Tour. We caught up with vocalist Ben Barlow and bassist Fil Thorpe-Evans at the Leeds Festival. They discussed their past festival experiences, supporting Blink-182, their up and coming UK headline tour and being
"leaders" of the UK pop-punk movement.
Feature: Mikee vs The World - X Factor (The Good The Bad and The Ugly)
Already Heard is pleased to welcome back singer-songwriter and Engineer Records employee Mikee J Reds for his latest instalment of his monthly column - 'Mikee Vs The World.'
With experience from being involved in several bands, touring throughout the UK and involved in an independent label, Reds has worthwhile valuable knowledge which we feel makes him ideal for this feature.
In this month's column, Mikee discusses reality TV singing contests, the fame and money they bring and how they sometimes produce a surprise or two.
If you're in a band, run a label or is involved in the music industry and would like to write a column for Already Heard, contact Sean Reid at email@example.com.
Disclaimer: The thoughts and opinions in this feature are solely of Mikee J Reds and not of Already Heard.
Cheap TV is what it is. No real thought is needed, very much like 'Big Brother, I'm A Douchebag Get Me Out Of Here and The Only Way Is Shit.' Having said that it doesn't mean that it is purely a bad idea to have shows like X Factor, Britain's Got "So Called" Talent. The main issue of all these reality TV shows is that we, as a human race, are not there to watch someone succeed but to watch people fail miserably.
Much like the time of the gladiators, the majority of the crowd go to the Coliseum to watch a man be ripped from limb to limb or be given the thumbs down by the Emperor to action the death of some poor slave. People like failure and most importantly they like to see dreams be crushed. Now this isn't to say everyone is like this, however the TV show makers know this is the way that a majority of people are programmed, so most of the time a reality show is just a firing range, lining up those with hopes and dreams waiting to pull the trigger. That is not to say some of these contestants don't deserve to be taken out back and shot like Old Yeller. Some of these things crawl out from under their rock and believe they have something magical; they have that "X factor," the will and raw talent to win. Most cases they don't.
The thing is, I don't question the people with the dream to succeed as a singer, musician or whatever you wish to call them, it's those who are in it for the "fame and money". A pure example of this would be as of recent where a so called three piece "band" got on stage and performed to the judges. It was clear from the get go that two were the talent of the group with literally a third squeaky out of tune. When asked what does his role in the band was, his answer was the "producer," not a great role to be in when you are in a talent contest. The judges soon decided that if the "band" wanted to continue, they would have to drop said third wheel and carry on as a duo. Clearly the third wheel was not happy with this, but he saw that it wasn't all bad for him as he wanted 30% of all their earnings from there on in. To me that shows you exactly how people's minds work, money. Well I hate to break it to you buddy 30% (no sorry he stated he wanted 33.3% on stage) of very very little is well, very very little.
Now if you are a true hater of the X Factor, you will find it hard to see what good comes out of it and quite frankly I do find it hard to see a glimmer of light in so much greed and power. Every now then it does happen. I am not one to sit down and watch it on TV, but my Mrs does enjoy it and most of all enjoys showing me the auditions on YouTube to see my reaction/annoy me. I always start off moaning about the idea of it being wrong, how so many bands work for years, have so much talent and are just forgotten in comparison to some wannabe pop star looking for a quick fix. Sadly though after a while I get drawn in, and in all honesty there is no better feeling than seeing a shy, shaky contest quietly tell the judges their name, their goals and turn in to something else when the music hits in. It can give you goose bumps, tingles through out your spine when someone is that good and you feel "Yes they are being discovered." It feels like somewhere a long the lines the system is being beaten, that this person or these people are not going to be paraded around like the village idiot but may have a chance of succeeding with what actually seems like raw talent, which is what music should always be all about - talent and of course passion. This can then lead some people on to a better life.
Recently I was sitting in the front row of the Dominion Theatre watching 'We Will Rock You' (for a fifth time) and I am loving it as always, but without knowing it, I was in fact being entertained and impressed of two reality TV contestants one being Noel of Hear'Say Fame from 'Popstars' and the other is Brenda from a very early series of X Factor. This shows, the program does in fact find talent but what it shows is that they really don't know what to do with it. Thankfully for them and the audience they are now in a hit West End show that has been going strong for over a decade! Ahmen!
My questions is however IF this is a TALENT show, why the back story? You don't see bands going on stage, hoping to be enjoyed by a crowd by opening their set up saying "Hi we are (enter band name here) and my cat just died." If you want a back story to add to the arc of entertainment, sure that's fine but do it AFTER the audition. Don't let someone get through on pure sympathy, it is that sort of thing that winds me up. This is where I feel 'The Voice' had it right. At the start, the show based the whole concept of the contest purely on their voice; no look, no back story, nothing but the voice. Genius! That seems pretty fair. Sadly after those first few auditions, the back stories start coming in, image starts getting questioned but hey at least they had it right at the first step, maybe they can keep something going on the next season, but in all honesty how do you keep something like this ever fair? Maybe just don't have a back story then at least its only based on vocal talent and maybe a little on image, big boobs equals big cash. I am pretty sure that's how Simon Cowell's business mind works. Sex sells.
All in all as much as I whine and I moan about the X Factor and its clones, they do have a purpose just sadly they don't seem to know it quite yet or we just don't see eye to eye on the fact it should be talent that leads on to great careers. Sadly this isn't usually the case. If you don't like it, don't watch it but you may miss out on some diamonds in the rough.
Thanks Mike

I made this costume for my boyfriend for Halloween. It is the "Guadalajara" poncho is from Ugly Betty season 1 episode 1. I copied the design I saw from the TV, I did not use a pattern used for this.
Fleece, felt, embroidery, thread, wonderweb. For the writing, I found a font on Microsoft word increased the size, printed "Guadalajara", cut it out and used it as a template on the felt. When I had all the felt letters cut out I stuck it to the poncho with wonderweb.

There's something transportive about a hotel bar. You might be sitting next to a local, a tourist or a traveling business person, but you don't know until you start up a conversation.
And there's also something cinematic about the best hotel bars. How many great scenes have been filmed (or set) in hotel bars, where the possibilities of chance and destiny are endless.
By its very definition, a hotel bar is a space where we come together, from all over the map — not unlike an airport, but with the added bonus of booze. And while Elway's Downtown isn't your average hotel bar, it works on all of these levels.

Great size for bbq's
I buy these regularly rather than the normal huge wraps. they are perfect size for bbq's and lunch boxes. I always try to keep some spare packs in the freezer for impromptu bbq's or picnics. People who complain about them going mouldy before the sell by date should be aware that in hot and especially humid weather it is better to freeze until required or keep in a cool place as any food deteriorates faster when not stored correctly!

Agree with the previous reviews - these are awful! They stick together and are impossible to pull apart in one piece. I just have a mangled mess. Won't be buying again, or accepting as a substitute, as in this instance.

USA Today had a major story warning that middle-class families may be hit by the estate tax. It warns that people with estates of just a million will be subject to the tax if the law is not changed. The article never points out that the tax will only affect the amount of the estate over $1 million, nor does it mention that the exemption is per person, so that a couple can easily pass $2 million on to their heirs and escape all tax liability. In short, this article gave readers absolutely no idea of the issues involved and it is likely to make many people, who will at most be trivially affected by the estate tax, to believe that they face serious liability.
The article also bizarrely asserts that partisanship has prevented a resolution of the issue. This is not true as can be clearly seen from the evidence presented in the article. While most Republicans support lowering or eliminating the estate tax, there are also some Democrats who have held out for lower rates. The article presents no evidence whatsoever that partisanship is preventing a resolution, as opposed to a conflict between people who want to pay lower taxes and others who want them to pay higher taxes.
This article discusses the Obama administration's housing policy, which seems to be moving away from an exclusive focus on homeownership. The article notes that many moderate-income people who bought homes in the last decade ended up losing them.
It would have been worth mentioning the housing bubble in this context. In many cases, it might have made sense for families, in principle, to become homeowners in the years 2002-2007, but not when it meant purchasing homes at bubble-inflated prices. The bubble could have been easily detected by a simple examination of price-to-rent ratios and other fundamentals. Unfortunately, the vast majority of housing professionals, including the people at HUD and Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were too lazy to do this sort of assessment. As a result, millions of moderate-income families bought homes that they were not able to keep.
Business people always want more money. That is part of a being in business. (Has Goldman Sachs or General Electric ever said they want lower profits?) This means that their spokespeople can be counted on to complain about taxes, regulations, wages or anything else that costs them money. Sometimes what they say is not true.
This can be clearly seen with current complaints that fears about regulation and higher taxes are discouraging hiring. This claim can be easily tested. If firms are in a situation where they would be hiring except for these fears, then we should be seeing an increase in the average number of hours worked per worker. We are not seeing an increase in hours worked that is at all out of line with prior recoveries. In fact, in the June data, hours worked fell.
Reporters should examine whether the claims of business people are plausible instead of just repeating them.
Market Place radio did a segment on the estate tax this morning and neglected to tell listeners that the tax is a marginal rate that only applies to the value of an estate above a cutoff. It also got the pre-Bush tax cut rate wrong.
Therefore when it told listeners that the estate tax will revert to the 2001 level next year if nothing is done, it likely left them hugely confused about the tax rate. The piece said that estates of more than $1 million would face a 55 percent tax rate. This would have led listeners to believe that an estate worth $1.1 million would face a tax liability of $605,000.
In fact, the first million would face no tax liability and the next $100,000 would be taxed at a 37 percent rate, making the total liability $37,000.
USA Today notes a decline in the percentage of people who expect to receive their Social Security benefits. The first sentence of the piece implies that the loss of confidence is due to that fact people have been: "battered by high unemployment and record home foreclosures."
While the recession could explain the loss of confidence in Social Security, it is also possible that the huge public relations campaign by Peter Peterson and others has played a role. Peterson, a Wall Street investment banker, has pledged $1 billion to a foundation that has cutting Social Security and Medicare as its major goals. He has spoken widely around the country telling people that Social Security is going broke and that it has no trust fund. He has enlisted prominent political figures, including former President Bill Clinton in this effort.
There are other efforts to undermine public confidence in Social Security, most notably President Obama's deficit commission. Former Wyoming Senator Alan Simpson, one of the co-chairs of this commission, has also frequently insisted that Social Security is going broke.
It is possible that these public relations efforts have had their intended effect of undermining confidence in the Social Security. The article should have at least noted this possibility.
The Washington Post felt that it was important to tell readers that the stimulus was very unpopular in a working class Pennsylvania district. However, it did not point out that a main reason that it is unpopular is that voter confuse the stimulus with the TARP bank bailout, which the paper strongly supported.
According to the article:
"Democratic pollster Mark Mellman said disgust with the stimulus and anxiety about the deficit are 'really a metaphor for wasteful government spending.' From the perspective of many voters, 'a lot of their money has gone out the door to bail out big banks and big corporations while their jobs have been lost.'"
This is a pretty direct statement that the TARP remains incredibly unpopular and that voters tend to confuse the stimulus with the TARP. A serious newspaper would have made this point. It is not that the voters object to measures that create jobs, they object to measures that hand banks money.
The housing wealth effect -- the idea that people's consumption is determined in part by their housing wealth -- is one of the oldest concepts in economics. Apparently the NYT still has not heard about it.
An article about the consumption patterns of the wealthy made no mention at all of their housing wealth. The economy lost around $6 trillion in housing wealth with the collapse of the bubble, a disproportionate share of this wealth was held by the wealthy. It would be very surprising if their consumption did not decline in response to this loss of wealth. (The housing wealth effect is usually estimated at 5-7 cents of additional consumption each year for every additional dollar of housing wealth.)
The NYT reported that negotiations between Hungary and the IMF and EU on the release of additional funds reached a deadlock over the weekend. Buried deep in the article, the NYT reported that:
"The I.M.F and E.U had criticized Hungary's decision to impose a special tax on financial institutions, saying it would send the wrong signal to investors and could hurt economic growth."
This is striking since apparently the IMF and the EU are insisting that Hungary tax measures like cutting benefits for retirees rather than tax banks. This would have been worth publicizing.
The IMF has publicly claimed that it supported making the banks and either financial institutions pay more towards supporting government budgets. The effort to force Hungary to get rid of its bank tax, apparently accompanied by the threat of withholding funds, suggests that it is not following in practice the position that it has taken in public. This contradiction merits attention from the media.

Capello defends England preperations
Wednesday 13 October 2010
Fabio Capello insists England's dismal performance against Montenegro at Wembley had nothing to do with the lack of a warm-up game.
Although England did not have a competitive match on Friday, it would have been possible for Capello to arrange a friendly to get some additional match practice into his players.
Instead, the Italian opted to give them extra time off and they only met at their Watford base on Thursday night.
The move did not appear to work given England lost a player to injury on every day of their build-up, and then failed to show any signs of life in last night's Euro 2012 qualifier as an 11-match winning streak on home soil came to an end.
However, Capello denied the lack of an additional match was a factor in the dull draw that triggered loud boos from the 72,000 home fans.
"I made the right decision not to have a warm-up game," he said.
"There are no problems. I always prepare the same for every game.
"I just hope all the players will be fit for the next one against Wales."
Capello does have a point.
Taking into account injuries, suspensions and retirements, England lost an entire team before kick-off, including central defenders and strikers who were earmarked for starting berths.
That Darren Bent got as far as the pre-match training session before pulling out with a calf problem can hardly have helped Capello's planning, and the sight of Sunderland's free-scoring forward sat in the stands alongside Jermain Defoe - also injured - was a reminder of the raw pace England so badly lacked against a side whose smothering tactics worked to perfection.
"In the first half we tried to play," highlighted Capello.
"We used possession to try to find space and kept losing the ball, so it was impossible to create chances.
"In the second half we used more long balls and we attacked the space."
Capello's comments indicated that his team were more of a threat after the interval than they had been before.
Yet, while it was true that Wayne Rooney had a couple of opportunities repelled by fine saves from Mladen Bozovic, it could also be claimed England's best opportunity fell to Peter Crouch before the break, which he headed over the bar.
With Ashley Young and, to a lesser extent, Adam Johnson, failing to penetrate from wider positions on their first competitive starts, it left England bereft of ideas in a game where the pattern was set after about 10 minutes and never really changed.
Given the wounds of that abysmal World Cup campaign are still so raw, little wonder therefore that Capello found himself fending off questions about his future, even if he did not entirely understand why.
"It is one game," he countered. "We have to play another five.
"I think we are a good team but you have to accept what can happen in football.
"It is not boxing where you win by punching the opponent more often."
What England have now are friendlies against France and Argentina - the latter still to be formally announced but pencilled in for Copenhagen in February - in which Capello can experiment.
He admitted last night he had been sorely tempted to introduce Jack Wilshere's more creative talents, only to back off due to the sheer physicality of the visitors' approach.
Capello has also confirmed his preference for Rio Ferdinand and John Terry as his preferred central defensive partnership, which must be a bit of a blow for Phil Jagielka and Joleon Lescott, who have done well in their recent outings.
Some of Capello's thinking still appears muddled.
Why last night for instance, did Young and Johnson not switch wings? How come Bent - dumped from his World Cup squad and still to be chosen to start a competitive match - is suddenly a key figure in his plans?
Yet through the haze, the manager insists he can see light.
Even he accepts the journey is not entirely straightforward.
"We are lucky to have players of vast experience who can help bring forward this next generation," said Capello.
"For many players who are making their first steps in international football, we must handle them carefully and give them every assistance to develop fully."

Governor set to announce landslide commission
Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick are scheduled to announce a commission to make recommendations on how to better avoid and respond to a landslide like the one that happened at Steelhead Haven.
Seattle Times staff reporter
In the wake of the massive Snohomish County landslide (seati.ms/TRJfJ4) that killed 43 people in the Steelhead Haven development near Oso, Gov. Jay Inslee and Snohomish County Executive John Lovick are set to announce a commission to make recommendations on how to avoid and respond to such slides.
The commission is expected to be announced by Inslee and Lovick at 12:45 p.m. Friday at the Snohomish County administration building, said a statement from Inslee's office. It will be composed of about a dozen people, according to Inslee spokeswoman Jaime Smith.
Among them will be experts in geology, hydrology, planning and development and emergency management, Smith said.
The commission will conduct an independent review of the landslide and make recommendations for better planning and emergency-response efforts, according to the governor's press statement.
The recommendations, which will be forwarded to Inslee's office, as well as to the Snohomish County Executive, will be made by the end of the year, Smith said.
A Seattle Times investigation in June revealed that the Steelhead Haven developer never filed a required flood- plain permit, which would have helped warn of the dangers there.
And while at least one county official said after the disaster that "the slide came out of nowhere," The Seattle Times this week documented slides (seati.ms/1ltf29N) in and around the area stretching back to1900, some as recent as 1996 and 2006.

Book Description
Mikhail Tal was one of the greatest geniuses of chess history. The magician from Riga, as he was known because of his dazzling attacking games, took the chess world by storm and in 1961, at the age of twenty-three, he won the world championship.
His sacrificial style made Tal immensely popular with chess players all over the world. In this book Grandmaster Karsten Muller and chess journalist Raymund Stolze have created an instructional chess tactics guide by investigating and explaining the secrets of his breathtaking combinations. Moreover, the authors have selected from the games Tal played one hundred exercises which will teach amateurs how they can finish a game with a stunning sacrifice.
A special feature are the contributions from many prominent grandmasters like Spassky, Yusupov, Huebner, Uhlmann and Kramnik, who describe their personal impressions and games with the 8th world champion. The result is both an intimate portrait of Mikhail Tal and an instructive guide for lovers of his legendary combinational style.

Transit stays No. 1 in WNY middle school rankings
Send this to a friend
- G. Scott Thomas
There's a new principal, but the results are the same. Transit Middle School of Williamsville once again holds first place in Business First's rankings of Western New York middle schools.
Daniel Walh, previously an assistant principal at another Williamsville middle school, assumed the top post at Transit in midwinter, replacing the retiring Jill Pellis. Transit had finished first the previous two years under Pellis' direction.
"I'm blessed to walk into such a great situation," says Walh. "There are very dedicated and skilled teachers here. Despite all the success they've had in the past, they're not satisfied. They're constantly working to improve their craft."

Buffalo's City Honors School moves up to second place in 2011 from third a year ago. (City Honors, which runs from fifth through 12th grade, is rated both as a high school and a middle school.)
Principal William Kresse gives credit to his students for successfully tackling the accelerated courseload that is mandated at City Honors.
"The curriculum that we deliver is a year ahead of state standards," he says. "When students come in as fifth graders, we jump them to sixth grade right away. When they're in eighth grade, they take a full high school schedule. Almost all of them meet the challenge."

HA! Jenna Jameson Responds to Lefty Haters With "Your Mom" Quips
When it comes to responding to despicable left-wing trolls on Twitter, Jenna Jameson certainly knows how to deal with them. : Yesterday, Jameson, a successful businesswoman and entrepreneur, simply tweeted that former President George W. Bush didn't destroy her industry. Well, that caused a conniption fit on the left. : With a torrent of hate tweets directed at her, she simply responded with a litany of "your mom" quips. : It was genius and: Twitchy, as always, reported on the incident.
She doesn't stop there. : She asked a couple of proggie trolls what the inimitable Barack Obama has done for the country in the past four years. : The responses were interesting.
One thing most folks seem to forget is that Ms. Jameson can hold her own in these political exchanges. : Does anyone remember her invitation to debate if pornography was harmful at the Oxford Union? : Many forecasted her to sink in the deep end, but, her argument won 204 to 27! : Talk about a Dewey vs. Truman moment. : While I'm sure Twitter isn't nearly as an incisive or respectable forum for debate in the likes of the Oxford Union, it just shows that Jameson can easily fend off the proggie drivel. : This usually happens when facts are on your side. : Therefore, these trolls should just stop embarrassing themselves. : Oh and November is coming!

Rick Ross Comments On Meek Mill's Incarceration
Rick Ross asks for support for Meek Mill, gives an update on "Dreams Worth More Than Money."
Days after it was revealed that Maybach Music Group rapper Meek Mill would be serving up to six months in jail, Rick Ross has finally spoken out on the matter. According to HotNewHipHop.com, the Miami rapper did so via a statement released over the weekend.
In his statement, Ross touched on support for his artists and says Meek Mill ran into "unfortunate legal issues." In regards to Meek's second studio album, Dreams Worth More Than Money, Ross says they'll try and continue on schedule for the project.
"I created MMG years ago, my desire was to create a space where the most talented artists in the world could be nurtured and supported," he said in the statement. "With that came a commitment. I vowed to support these artist, through the good and the bad. Every individual signed to MMG is not just an artist, they are my family. And with family you ride, or you die. Yesterday, my brother, Meek Mill ran into some unfortunate legal issues. It happens. However, his team, our team, will continue to execute Meek's plan as close to schedule as possible. His album is coming. We ask that the fans and the media continue to support him and his music during this time. He'll be home soon. 'Dreams Are Worth More Than Money', and family is worth more than Everything. MMG FOR LIFE."
Meek's recent incarceration has even spawned a #FreeMeekMill campaign on social media with hundreds of fans petitioning for his release.
Last week, it was reported that the Philly lyricist was sentenced to three to six months in jail due to a possible probation violation, which may have stemmed from the rapper holding a gun in a picture posted on Instagram days ago.

Yes Interscope did right because "Excuse My French" is at 175,000 with a platinum single "POP That" while "Animal Ambishon" is at 85,000 with no singles that charted in the Top 200.

Teen Wolf Season 4 Episode 3 Recap/Spoilers: New Faces, Creatures and a Muted Ally in Beacon Hills
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Jenalyn Villamarin | July 10, 2014 11:35 AM EST
In the latest episode of "Teen Wolf" Season 4, new characters have surfaced and it will make the viewers set aside the events that happened in the first two episodes that involved Mexico, the Calaveras and Kate Argent (Jill Wagner). Scott McCall (Tyler Posey) can be seen dealing with human issues in "Teen Wolf" Season 4, Episode 3 titled "Muted" coming from lacrosse and Kira (Arden Cho).
Spoiler Alert: This feature contains major spoilers on "Teen Wolf" Season 4, Episode 3 titled "Muted." New character Sean (Glenn McCuen), who was looking for his pet cat, noticed that their house was strangely quiet. After spotting the cat covered with blood under his bed, Sean heard screams coming from the next room.
Sean stepped outside to find out what was going on and he met who is responsible for harming his family. The creepy man with no mouth held a bloody ax and warned the teenager that he will come after him. Sean managed to escape and headed to the hospital to ask for help.
Peter (Ian Bohen) and Derek (Tyler Hoechlin) asked mercenary Braeden (Meagan Tandy) to find Kate Argent so the were-jaguar could answer for what she did to Derek and Peter's money worth $117 million. Braeden told Derek that the only reason for him to be in contact again with the were-jaguar is to find out why his eyes turned yellow.
Back at Beacon Hills High, Coach Finstock (Orny Adams) decided to rebuild the lacrosse team. Scott's position as the team captain gets threatened with the arrival of Liam (Dylan Sprayberry) as the freshman student dominated the lacrosse field.
Stiles (Dylan O'Brien) suggested that Liam could be a were-cheetah because of his lacrosse performance and teamed up with Scott to find out. Scott wanted to get close to Liam to get a scent and find out what the newbie really is but it ended up with Liam getting injured.
Kira got stunned and upset after finding out that her parents are selling their home. Kira insists that she does not want to move back to New York because she finally made friends but Kira's mom knows that her daughter wants to stay because of Scott.
Kira wanted to talk to Scott but he always had an excuse to delay their conversation especially about the kiss the Scott suddenly gave Kira. However, Scott changed his mind and put a closure to their awkward moment before by saying that he is not sorry and gave Kira a real kiss.
The creepy man with no mouth, who can talk with the use of a computer and eats through a tube attached to his neck, can be seen staring at the computer screen reading a weird code that consists of letters, numbers and symbols. Stiles noticed that Lydia (Holland Roden) has been writing the same code on her math notes that she lent Malia (Shelley Hennig), who is struggling with the subject.
Meanwhile, the banshee showed up at Sean's home while Deputy Parrish (Ryan Kelley) was outside and examining the crime photos. The two managed to find a secret storage room in Sean's house and found out about the teenage boy's family secret because the room was filled with dead people.
At the hospital, Melissa McCall (Melissa Ponzio) was looking after a traumatized looking Sean. Scott, who was also in the hospital to help the injured Liam, received a phone call from Lydia instructing him to find Sean.
Melissa entered Sean's room to check up on him but she found the teenage boy eating the police officer who was tasked to guard his room. Sean lunged for Melissa but Scott arrived just in time to save his mom. Unfortunately, Liam became Sean's next target.
Scott found Sean and Liam at the rooftop and the True Alpha werewolf tried to convince Sean that he could help him. "Wendigos don't need help. We need food," Sean answered to Scott's offer on helping him.
Sean attacked Liam but Scott jumped in to stop the Wendigo. Liam went over the side of the roof and he was hanging on for his life. In order to have a hold on Liam while fighting off Sean, Scott bit the freshman student on the arm.
The man without a mouth came to the rescue and killed the Wendigo therefore allowing Scott to pull Liam over. Scott looked at the man who helped but the bald and no-mouth creature only told Scott to keep quiet with a gesture before he left the rooftop.
The ending of the episode showed Liam screaming in pain from Scott's bite while the Alpha werewolf looked down on the new member of his pack. "Teen Wolf" Season 4 will return with Episode 4 titled "The Benefactor" on Monday night, July 14, at 10 pm ET/PT on MTV.

Washington Watch: Is Hillary inevitable?
Hillary Clinton 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
It seems all we're hearing from the political mavens these days is how Hillary
Clinton is not only the inevitable 2016 Democratic nominee but a shoo-in as the
next president.That may be good news to Jewish Democrats – Clinton
remains a popular figure among Jewish voters despite virulent efforts by the far
Right to portray her as anti-Israel – but it is already producing mudslinging
that may set new records for political schmutz.The early ugliness of the
anti-Clinton campaign might well convince the former first lady, senator and
secretary of state that she can best serve the causes dear to her in some other
capacity.Republican leaders are trying awfully (take that word both
ways) to show the former secretary of state is behind a sinister cover-up of the
Benghazi attacks that killed the American ambassador and three others last
September 11.If Republicans really wanted information they wouldn't be
fabricating quotations from administration talking points by inserting
fictitious references to the Clinton State Department that didn't appear in the
real documents.ABC's Jonathan Karl went on the air with an "exclusive"
report last week claiming he had "obtained" the administration's Benghazi
talking point emails, which he said revealed "exclusive input from the State
Department."When the real emails were released and had no State
Department fingerprints, Karl admitted he hadn't actually seen the originals but
had relied on an unnamed source, apparently a Hill GOP figure.Rep.
Darrell Issa (R-California) is the point man in the Trash Hillary campaign. This
is the guy who seems to think that since every single cable out of the State
Department for two centuries has borne the name of the secretary of state,
Hillary had to have personally read and be responsible for every missive that
went out over her signature. If he doesn't know better, he's dumber than his
reputation suggests.A former Democratic staffer on his House oversight
committee, Anthony Clark, said over nearly four years he learned, "If Darrell
Issa says something – based on the record, his statements and my personal
observations of him up-close – there is a strong likelihood it will be baseless
and easily disproven." He called the chairman a bully who "counts on his
opponents to back down" and a camera-hungry bully whose "MO is to make
outrageous, unsubstantiated claims" followed by bluster.Issa is
threatening to subpoena Clinton but he knows she is not easily intimidated or
bullied so he may quietly drop the idea.The Washington Post's Dana
Milbank said "despite Issa's incautious promise of material 'damaging' to
Hillary, his star witness, Gregory Hicks, 'didn't lay a glove' on her." In the
end, Hicks may have been a good storyteller in recounting the events in
Benghazi, Milbank said, but "Hicks was of little use to
Republicans.""Our goal in this investigation is to get answers," Issa
said in opening remarks. What he really means is "Our goal in this investigation
is to get Hillary."That's not to say that the Benghazi incident doesn't
deserve a full airing before the Congressional oversight committee, but one
can't help question the real intentions of the investigation when it turns out
to have been conducted by Republican staffers and the opposition Democrats were
intentionally excluded.You can ignore all that talk from Republicans
that Benghazi is a scandal worse than the Watergate, Iran-Contra and Scooter
Libby productions of earlier Republican administrations.Editorial
cartoonist Clay Bennett had them pegged when he drew a Fox News reporter in
front of the White House saying, "This is the biggest cover-up since the
President's birth certificate."The big scandal is Republicans accusing
Clinton of denying necessary protection for diplomatic personnel after they
themselves had voted earlier to cut funding requested by the State Department
for diplomatic security.One of those voting to cut nearly $300 million
from embassy security was Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), who now is talking about
impeaching President Barack Obama for not doing enough to protect the Benghazi
mission and trying to cover that up.Benghazi is not a scandal, but it is
"a mess – a small mess," noted David Corn of Mother Jones, and "no mess is too
tiny for scandalmongers in need of material."What Republicans are really
after is undermining a potential Hillary candidacy for president in 2016. Their
stepped-up smear campaign suggests they fear she'd be impossible to beat if she
wins the Democratic nomination.Karl Rove's Super PAC has already begun
airing anti-Hillary ads, and there are a lot more to come.Rather than
weaken Clinton, the Republican attacks could backfire and make her a stronger
and more sympathetic candidate.As I said, I'm not one of those who
believe she's got a lock on the 2016 nomination. In fact, I'm not even convinced
she wants it, but if I had to bet, I'd say she's leaning in that direction and
getting a lot of encouragement.But inevitable? We heard the same thing
back in 2007 when she was the junior senator from New York. She had the
popularity, the organization, the money and she had Bill. But she ran a poor
campaign in 2008, blowing a 30-point lead, 100 percent name recognition and
enormous funding. She lost to an obscure junior senator from Illinois who
virtually no one had even heard of eight years ago.Hillary may seem like
she's sucking all the oxygen out of the upcoming presidential sweepstakes,
leaving possible competitors like Joe Biden, Andrew Cuomo, Deval Patrick, Cory
Booker and Martin O'Malley in her dust, but if a month is a lifetime in
politics, what's three years? ©2013 Douglas M. Bloomfield

Kukla's Korner Hockey
It Is All Mental For Panthers
by Paul on 11/12/07 at 05:33 PM ET
Comments (0)
from the Palm Beach-Post,
It's not like these guys are a bunch of losers. Jokinen and linemate Ville Peltonen won silver medals with Finland at the 2006 Olympics. Mike Van Ryn won a national championship at the University of Michigan. Ruslan Salei, Radek Dvorak and Steve Montador have all come within one win of a Stanley Cup. Nathan Horton won gold with Canada in the World Under-18 championships.
But collectively, there's some mental bridge that has been impossible to cross. Not that there's any shortage of thoughts on the subject.
"We just have to have the mental preparation and focus, even if it needs to be 30 seconds at a time," Peltonen said. "Create that as a habit, do it as well as you can every time out there, and the result will come."
