An Interview with Pushing Daisies Composer, James Dooleyby Matt Richenthal at . Comments
Fans can't get enough of Pushing Daisies quotes, photos, visual effects and so much more from the most original show on TV.
But another popular aspect of the series is its unique score. And composer James Dooley recently gave an interview talking about the music behind Pushing Daisies.
Q: Pushing Daisies is quite entertaining on a lot of different levels and your score has a lot to do with that. The feeling that I get when I watch and listen, is that there is a Tim Burton slash Danny Elfman vibe to it. Is that kind of a starting point that you had or is that coincidental?
James Dooley: Actually, it's not. It's funny. That sound is not really close to what we were going for. I've heard the Elfman comment a lot though and I do understand why people come to that conclusion but it was never intended to be that.
Q: How would you describe the differences of your show/score?
Dooley: I'd say one of the differences is because the love themes are French with accordions and harpsichords. It's also different in the editing - it's in the style of the traditional French themes. The music for the show is based on these ideas, which Danny (Elfman) doesn't really do. Still, if you put a boys' choir on top of that type of music, it's suddenly sounds like Danny.
We were going for more of an Amelie type of sound, which is a "wide-angled," adult-fairytale, with a narrator and this super-real world. The more you look at it, the less similarities there are with a Danny Elfman type of score. There was never any Danny Elfman music used to temp the show or anything like that. All that said, I take it as an honor for such a comparison to be made.

|Trafalgar Day
|Observed by
|United Kingdom
|21 October
|Next time
|21 October 2014
Trafalgar Day is the celebration of the victory won by the Royal Navy, commanded by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, over the combined French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805. The formation of the Navy League in 1894 gave added impetus to the movement to recognise Nelson's legacy, and grand celebrations were held in Trafalgar Square on Trafalgar Day, 1896.[1] It was widely commemorated by parades, dinners and other events throughout much of the British Empire in the 19th century and early 20th century. It is still widely celebrated by navies of the Commonwealth of Nations.[2]
Its public celebration declined after the end of World War I in 1918. The massive casualties and upheaval had changed the general public perception of war as a source of glorious victories to a more sombre view of it as a tragedy, for which the newly instituted Armistice Day on 11 November was created. However, Trafalgar Day was still marked as a public day each year. Around 1993, it was rumoured that John Major's government might make it a public holiday in place of May Day, and this plan has been revived in the 2011 Tourism Strategy created by the current coalition government.[3]
The year 2005 was the bicentennial of the Battle of Trafalgar, and the Royal Navy led Trafalgar 200 celebrations. The 2005 International Fleet Review held off Spithead in the Solent on 28 June was the first since 1999 and the largest since Her Majesty The Queen's 1977 Silver Jubilee.
Sea Cadets of the United Kingdom celebrate this day usually with a parade of a town.
In Birmingham, the anniversary is celebrated by a ceremony at the statue of Lord Nelson in the Bull Ring. The statue is the oldest statue to Lord Nelson in the United Kingdom. The ceremony is led by the Lord Mayor of Birmingham and involves men and women of HMS Forward, Sea Cadet Units from across the West Midlands and various civic organisations including The Nelson Society and The Birmingham Civic Society. Afterwards there is a wreath laying by naval and civic organisations and a parade marches off to Victoria Square, the public square in front of the seat of local government, where the Lord Mayor takes the salute.
Another aspect of the Birmingham celebration is that the statue is regaled with swags of laurel and flowers, possibly due to its location by the wholesale flower markets of the city. This tradition was carried on throughout most of the nineteenth century and was revived in 2004.[citation needed]
In Edinburgh, the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill was built in memory of Admiral Lord Nelson. Weather permitting, the Trafalgar flag signal 'England expects that every man will do his duty' is flown on Trafalgar Day. Looking like a tall stone telescope, the Nelson Monument contains a time ball which drops at 1 o'clock daily.[4]
The victory is celebrated each year in the Australia town of Trafalgar, Victoria, in which the small town of 2,200 hold an annual Battle of Trafalgar Festival with the Trafalgar Day Ball held on the Friday or Saturday closest to 21 October each year.

Grey Elves in Greyhawk
Probably a stupid question, but can someone point me to a resource that details the Grey Elves in Greyhawk setting? Going of the Gazateer and the core books, theyre just kind of lumped in with high elves, except being more haughty. Ive never played in Greyhawk, and Im not much of an elf fan in general, so Im a little light on this subject.

Re: Grey Elves in Greyhawk
Even wikipedia didn't have much. All I can tell you is they are jerk elves who live in cities carved into mountains.
I remember a dragon magazine article that talked about a society of grey elf duelists (2nd level fighters) who used two bladed swords.
Honestly, there's not much to them.

Tugende helps motorcycle taxi drivers own their own motorcycles in eighteen months or less instead of renting indefinitely. Ownership significantly increases income, job security and road safety. Across Uganda, and many other emerging markets, motorcycles help drive the economy, mitigating traffic jams and bad roads as well as offering hundreds of thousands of jobs for those with little formal education. Tugende is proving that millions of self-employed entrepreneurs can receive credit to own the equipment they use to provide for their families, even without credit histories, collateral, and in industries considered high risk by traditional lenders. Learn more about our founding and mission here and here.
Tugende means "let's go" and both signifies our mission and is the actual phrase used when climbing on a motorcycle taxi. Tugende has grown more than 15x in the last 18 months, its CEO is a 2012 Unreasonable Fellow, 2014 Echoing Green Global Fellow and Tugende has appeared in the Economist, VC4Africa, and elsewhere.
Our Director of Finance will play a major role in strategy and execution of our future growth, including expansion to new geographies and revenue streams. We currently serve over 500 customers in Kampala and another Ugandan city. We plan to expand to at least 10 locations in Uganda over the next 1-2 years and then to regional neighbors which may include Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania and South Sudan. The successful candidate will join our current team of 12 and report to the CEO.
About the Role
Tugende is searching for an experienced finance professional ready to dive into a challenging environment that transforms the lives of thousands motorcycle taxi drivers in Uganda. Financial modeling and analysis skills are essential and the candidate will also manage a small and growing team, contribute to strategic decisions and help represent the company externally.
Like any small and dynamic organization, constant contributions as and where needed will be crucial, but core responsibilities will be focused in three areas:
Financial Planning and Strategy
The Director of Finance will work with the CEO to develop the company's long term strategy and advise on key decisions to optimize financial performance and management. Specific duties will include:
- Build, continually update and refine complex financial projections and other tools to aid internal decision making and external fundraising.
- Supervise the production of financial reports and present them both to the leadership team and board as well as potential partners and investors.
- Research and make recommendations to other members of the leadership team on when and in what form optimal new investment and financing should be sought.
- Give input on, and potentially lead, efforts to develop other performance measurement tools to track the company's non-financial results including social impact. We will be implementing a SalesForce based data management system and intend to improve our data tracking and analysis capabilities to improve decisions, show rigorous impact measurement and better serve our customers.
The Director of Finance will take responsibility for the management of all internal financial aspects of the company with an eye to creating a streamlined system and teaching and empowering less experienced colleagues.
- Supervise day to day bookkeeping and strengthen internal financial management systems and controls.
- Serve as the lead contact with payment processing and financial software partners.
- Provide oversight for procurement of motorcycles and other company goods.
- Ensure appropriate insurance coverage for the business and explore creative ways to increase insurance for our customers.
Portfolio Analysis and Risk Management
Though our financial products are technically leases, not loans, the Director of Finance will lead efforts to evaluate and manage the outstanding portfolio as well as compliance with legal and regulatory obligations.
- Track and present performance metrics similar to a standard financial institution (repayment rate, default rate, portfolio at risk).
- Ensure record keeping practices exceed requirements of auditors, government regulators and investors.
- Manage relationships with external auditors, tax advisors, tax authorities and our legal counsel (with regard to financial matters).
- Explore options to better analyse credit ratings/scores for our applicants and customers, including by leading partnerships with other players and evaluating potential for developing an in-house score and testing it with our own data.
About the Candidate
Our ideal candidate is a socially minded professional excited to use skills from the corporate world to make a sustainable and financially viable social impact. He or she will have a creative, entrepreneurial and resilient temperament, with the work background to hit the ground running and the desire to grow his or her own skills and knowledge alongside the success of teammates and the company as a whole.
- Willingness to ride fearlessly on the back of motorcycle taxis in urban (and possibly rural) settings.
- Firm, long-term commitment (more than 1 year) with preference for those who can show desire to grow with the company for years. This should not be a stepping stone position for you but rather an exciting opportunity to go all in and help lead a strong small organization to scale and grow/adjust your responsibilities, skills and position along the way.
- 3 years experience in financial analysis, financial management and/or accounting, with at least 1 year in an applied financial management (non-banking) sector e.g. real estate, fast-moving consumer goods.
- Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. Advanced degree a plus, but job experience and hard skills more crucial.
- Ability to analyze financial data and prepare financial reports, statements, and projections.
- Knowledge of finance, accounting, budgeting, and cost control principles including Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
- Knowledge of automated/manual financial and accounting reporting systems.
- Strong interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to take ownership of problems and use good judgment in decision-making.
- Comfort in low-income environments and ability to empathize with and gain trust from communities with which we work.
- Extremely strong written and verbal communication including effective public presentation skills and interest in representing Tugende externally.
- Leadership ability to motivate teams to produce quality materials within tight timeframes and simultaneously manage several projects.
- Comfort working in a highly dynamic start-up environment and ability to manage confidential information and situations with efficiency, flexibility and diplomacy.
- Ideal candidate would share the belief that market based approaches can foster sustainable development and have passion for learning, investing in individuals and rethinking microfinance conventions
- 5 years experience in financial analysis, financial management and/or accounting, with at least 1 year in an applied financial management (non-banking) sector eg. real estate, fast-moving consumer goods.
- Experience in working across a variety of sectors (private, public, non-profit) with a track record of developing market-based solutions.
- 1-3 years of paid work experience in a developing world economy.
- Other generally useful skills might include: handling large data sets, background in and understanding of traditional microfinance, and comfort interfacing with complex governmental bureaucracy.
- Familiarity with Uganda.
Off the charts but not expected:
- Fluency in Luganda.
- Experience working in similar lease-to-own/rent-to own modeled business.

Ocular Trauma and Vision Restoration, U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research, Ft. Sam Houston Texas TX
During operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, 16% of battlefield evacuations were from eye trauma. If the corneal endothelium is damaged, regenerative potential is limited. A corneal graft may not be suitable for soldiers with inflamed graft beds, thus an alternative form of therapeutic recovery is needed. A nanotechnology based approachor guiding cells to the injured area using super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONPs) and an external magnetic force was identified. This work examines the health effects of SPIONPs on bovine corneal endothelial cells (CEC), in the presence and absence of magnetic force, to determine if high SPIONP loading is feasible. Commercially available CECs were seeded at 21,000 cells per well. The CECs were exposed to SPIONP concentrations from 0 to 108 nanoparticles per cell. The viability and structure of CECs was assessed over 3 days. A two tailed t test showed significant differences (p < .01) between highly SPIONP loaded cells exposed to magnetic force as compared to those not exposed. The cytoskeleton structure was unaltered and viability was minimally affected. These results demonstrated cell health was maintained with high SPIONP loading and thus, there is potential for developing an ocular therapeutic platform for externally controlled CEC guidance.

Hoover Dam: The caption on a photo of Hoover Dam that ran Feb. 27 said: "Under FDR, the U.S. built huge dams, such as Hoover Dam, to spur economic recovery." Construction of the dam began under President Hoover and was completed in 1935, during Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. —
Re " Obama forgoes grand projects," Feb. 23
This article's subhead shouts, "Unlike the marvels of FDR's New Deal, the stimulus is more about traffic, sewers and school repairs."
Grand projects or not, President Obama's stimulus plan seems to have missed the mark by a wide margin. How many of those people losing their jobs at Mervyns, Circuit City, Starbucks or even Lehman Bros. can put on a hard hat and find jobs repairing schools, building bridges or replacing aging sewers?
Very, very few, I suspect.
David Coffin
Los Angeles
The Times reports that "the Bay Area city of Hercules drew heat for listing a duck pond park and dog park as possible uses for stimulus money," as did the proposed restoration of the National Mall.
What those opposed to both the New Deal's initiatives and Obama's stimulus package forget is that the nation's most beloved parks were created or improved by the Works Progress Administration or the Civilian Conservation Corps. These civilian armies also created forests that have added immeasurably to the nation's commonwealth and planted innumerable trees now gracing towns and cities in their maturity.

Stick 'em up!
State Rep.
Rooster Cogburn Marty Flynn of Scranton found himself in the news this week after exchanging gunfire in the streets of Laredo Harrisburg with a would-be armed robber. No one was hurt that we know of, the alleged bad guys (four boys aged 15 to 17) were rounded up, and Flynn was generally praised for his quick trigger finger. Only in America is a shootout on a public street not viewed collectively as a "bad thing."
And while we're on the subject: Our state legislature — the nation's most-expensive and second-largest — continues to essentially plunder the state coffers to fund its lavish array of salaries, offices, employees, perks, tax-exempt per diems and pensions. Taxpayers might be justified in asking, "where's our gun, guys?"

Rep. Les Gara Seeks Re-Election
Rep. Les Gara, who had decided against running for governor next year, says he'll seek re-election instead.
The Anchorage Democrat last month said he hadn't ruled out a run for governor if important conditions were met….
Since then, Sen. French has announced he's considering a run. French lost the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2010 to Ethan Berkowitz, who lost to Republican Gov. Sean Parnell.
Senator Wielechowski has been mentioned both as a possible gubernatorial candidate or running mate to Republican Bill Walker, who plans to run for governor as an independent.
Gara says he'd revisit a run of his own if neither makes it into the race, but noted he must ask his wife's consideration.

|Lipidy Twister
And The Big Bopper would still be alive too if it wasn't for Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens going at it hot and heavy in the cockpit of the plane in mid-flight. What were those two string beans thinking? Typical letsrun behavior if you ask me.
|The what now
Actually, Chubby Checker isn't really a fat guy.
He's been doing the twist. Fats? He just Ain't Misbehavin'.
|Clowns of the Purple Sage
Yeah, Chubby is not actually Chubby.
|Lipidy Twister
How dare you drag real facts into my thread. GET LOST CLOWN!
Someone told me that you will not find any fat old people. The implication was that fat people died young, but this isn't true. They just get skinny as they get older because they can't absorb nutrition like they did when they were younger. This is why they sell Ensure.
Another myth has to do with smokers. They do shorten their lives, but their average life expectancies are about six years less than the average. Some studies have them at the high range of 14 years while it drops to four if smokers quit at age 50. Most people think smokers drop dead at age 50, but this isn't true. Many of them make it to 70 but not much beyond that. The reality is that a smoker living today will dramatically outlive a nonsmoker from a century ago.
I don't have any stats on lifelong runners, but I think their stats will not be much better than the average. Just as smokers are seen to die 20+ years prematurely, runners are seen to be certain to live past 100. I don't see it that way. Old guys like Sheehan and Lebow never made it that long. Cancer got them.
I think people should stress quality over quantity in this regard. Living healthy feels better than living lousy. Having energy and breathing fresh air and being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded are valuable things. Being able to play with your kids or go on a hike or surf in your 70's are quality things.
Longevity is in the hands of the doctors. Sorry. But the quality of your life is all up to you.
|douglas burke
then there are guys like former olympic marathon champion alain mimoun who is still running an hour a day, he has to be 85-90, i mean he won a 10k olympic medal in 1948.
From a friend of mine who is 92:
70-79: "young old age"
80-89: "middle old age"
90-99: "old old age"
Maybe he'll reassess in another ten years or so.

Health & Balance
Get More Done Every Day!
By Tanya Asnes
Tired of playing beat the clock — and losing? Try these smart fixes.
Frustrating, isn't it? You start your day off with every intention of sailing through your ample to do list. But then someone calls to schmooze...or you fritter away an hour slogging through junk and joke e-mails...or you try to juggle too many tasks at once and end up making next to no headway on any one of them. Come day's end, you wonder, Where the heck did my time go? Well, here's your chance to finally break that cycle (and it doesn't involve becoming even more of a multitasking machine than you already are). Read on for effective, sanity-saving strategies that'll help you make the most of your time — at home or at work — so that you can get tons done and enjoy each day more.
Seize the morning.
At the end of your day, make a list of the top 10 things you want to
accomplish tomorrow.
Then get yourself to the office or start your around the house tasks a half hour earlier than usual and tackle your highest priority projects first. Yes, it'll be a tough time adjustment initially, but the delicious sense of accomplishment you'll feel (especially while the rest of the world is "just trying to get focused") will make it all worthwhile.
"The top of the morning is the most productive time of day for most people," says Stephanie Winston, a consultant in executive productivity and author of Organized for Success . "Women who start their mornings chatting away with their coworkers and slowly savoring a cup of coffee are actually blowing the most valuable part of their day."
Exercise e-mail willpower.
Constantly checking those messages is addictive and can stop you from getting your real work done. So put yourself on a strict e-mail diet. "Don't ever check your e-mail for the first hour of the morning," advises Julie Morgenstern, corporate productivity consultant and author of Never Check E-mail in the Morning . (Okay, if you happen to be one of the few people whose job function absolutely depends on checking your e-mail first thing, then open only those messages that relate to your priority tasks.) Then, adds Morgenstern, "Process your inbox every one to two or even every three to four hours depending on the demands of your job."
Afraid that your coworkers, friends, or family will get annoyed because it's been 20 minutes and they still haven't heard back from you? Try telling them about your new and improved system. Since you've put your revamped e-mail plan into play for practical reasons, they may well respect you for setting some boundaries.
When you do eventually tackle your virtual inbox, try to keep your exchanges short and to the point, and sum up exactly what you need, for instance, by writing, "Please confirm 4 p.m. meeting tomorrow" in the header. If despite your efforts you find yourself getting sucked into an unproductive back-and-forth of pleasantries and trivial information, it's perfectly fine for you to bring things to a close with a simple "Thanks" or "No reply necessary" or "Don't need any further updates unless there's a change in the numbers," says Morgenstern.
Finally, if you haven't already done so, take Winston's sage advice: "Disable the e-mail alert 'ting!' It's extremely distracting."

GREEN VALLEY, TEXAS (Guadalupe County). Green Valley was a rural school community about six miles northwest of Marion in western Guadalupe County. In 1904, thirty students attended a one-teacher school there. By 1946 Green Valley had a school and a few scattered houses. Its school was consolidated with the Schertz-Cibolo district by the 1970s. There was no evidence of the community on the 1985 county highway map.

A beautifully vibrant mess, stream Choreograph from precocious Chicagoan Gilligan Moss.
Posts tagged Grimes.
'So far as dainty NYC songstress Jamie Krasner, alias James K (RUM), may be concerned, it seems fairly apt that, given the woozy, whimsical nature of her work, her finest thus far should be entitled Drunktrack. For although a mightily refined piece that can only have been pieced together in a state of total sobriety, there's a stupefied ethereality to it, too. Reminiscent of Bat for Lashes blotto on a particularly spiritous potion, or an elven Grimes creeping about beneath the potent throbs found underneath Bobby Krlic's Haxan Cloak, Drunktrack from this month's RUM EP makes for a truly intoxicating, if aptly disorienting listen that suggests Lorely Rodriguez may yet have some competition when it comes to becoming the Empress Of New York's sensual synth-pop underbelly.'
'On the evidence of Glasser's sophomore recording, Interiors, not only have her myriad contemporaries now caught up with her, but they've also surpassed her so far as artistic innovation may be concerned.'
Dots & Dashes review Glasser's Interiors – a record which, given her mesmeric previous, ought to prove rather grounding for both artist and audience alike.
'Having previously collaborated with breezy Antipodean compatriots Sunny, who we shed a little light on a short while ago, San Mei this way comes with the weight of expectation looming large. And with her début single proper anticipated next month on budding London label Tidal Wave, Gold Coast aboriginal Emily Hamilton rides high on a crestfallen slab of ecstatic pop bluster in the becoming form of Brighter.
What with the CAPS-ADVOCATING likes of CHVRCHES, MØ and so on of course currently proving the soi-disant tastemakers' tipple du jour, it would be all too easy for Hamilton to do battle, or rather grapple with their dangly coattails, although there's far more ingenuity and with it guile to this lustrous glimmer of a doubtless luminous future to come. More closely aligned with Little Daylight's bedazzling euphoria-cum-melancholia dichotomies, as Hamilton chimes ingenuously: "I want it, if you want it" I'd guess her blossoming musical progress is something we're all weightily in favour of, though we're only too content to watch the breezes in the meantime…'

HOUSTON (CBS Houston) The city of Houston has been named as a finalist as host city for the 2017 Super Bowl. The announcement was made Monday from the Super Bowl bid committee.
It was also announced that former Secretary of State James Baker will lead the campaign to bring the Super Bowl back to Houston.
"The Houston bid for the 2017 Super Bowl will be first-class," said Baker in a statement.
The city of Houston is seen as a prosperous one when it comes to a strong economy, job growth and diversity. Houston has also seen $2.6 billion in development.
Such projects as light rail expansion and plans to bring a new hotel to downtown Houston are all seen as objectives that will make Houston more appealing in the quest to host the Super Bowl.
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) and serves as the highest level of professional American football in the United States.

'The Fever' by Kevin Courtney
"If we can allow ourselves to feel vulnerable and insecure when that is what is arising, if we can be totally ourselves without any pretense, we will find a great inner strength"
~ Jack Kornfield
It's safe to say that we really never know what is going to happen next. Two weeks ago, I didn't know I was about to experience some of the most uncomfortable sensations in my body I'd ever had.
And I've had some pretty uncomfortable sensations.
Initially, I thought the pain and discomfort was a direct result of an opening in my spine during a yoga class. There was fever, headaches and body aches. Reactions in the body that aren't uncommon when going through deeply transformational work. In Thai massage they call it a 'healing crisis'. Ultimately upon reflection, I thought what was happening was a good thing.
But the headaches worsened, the fever continued to rise and fall. I tried everything I knew to do. Trigger point release, body work, acupuncture, meditation, restorative yoga, nothing helped.
Finally on day 7 of this penetratingly uncomfortable ride, I made my way to the doctor for some blood work.
On Saturday, the results came in and I was diagnosed with Lyme's Disease.
2 weeks ago I was poised to close out the season in NYC with some great yoga events. I felt vibrant, full of energy and was teaching with sharp clarity. I was set to shuffle off to California for an exciting teaching tour in Santa Barbara, the Wanderlust Festival in Lake Tahoe, and then off to teach 2 workshops in Santa Fe, New Mexico with my wife Dana.
Today, two days before I leave for my big trip, I feel tired. I feel the result of days on end of high fevers and headaches. I feel vulnerable and insecure about my health. I don't feel vibrant, nor do I feel full of energy, and clarity seems off somewhere in a foggy distance. The antibiotics feel harsh and abrasive on my insides. And as I allow for myself to feel all that is arising, without pretense, I will say in full candor, that I don't have any sense of feeling the inner strength Jack Kornfield talks about in that quote.
But I do realize I'm simply at an arc in a process that has yet to resolve. If something must empty before it can fill, well, then I'm as empty as it gets. The deepest moment of Yin, before it transforms back into Yang. And if in this moment, reading this post you feel sympathy, please don't. That's not my objective in writing this. I offer this to give you insight into a process, as it's happening, as it's unresolved.
I know I will heal. I know experiencing this will, in some way, inform my teaching. I know what is waiting for me out in California, is a world of things I couldn't even imagine possible. I know I will be vibrant, full of energy, and teaching with sharp clarity when the moment arises that I take the teacher's seat.
And isn't that interesting, it seems my inner strength just rose up to speak before I even had a chance to notice. Mr. Kornfield it seems, was right.
To be continued…

The Spurs proved on Thursday that even a boatload of turnovers won't stop them from winning a game in the NBA Finals. They have been on a tear lately in this postseason and that didn't stop in Game 1 against the Miami Heat.
Now up 1-0 in the 2014 NBA Finals, San Antonio has now won eight straight postseason games at home by 15 points or more. That set a new NBA record.
However, the Miami Heat have spent all postseason proving that a loss in the first game of a series means nothing to them. Tony Parker explained it when he said:
"That's why I think we can't be satisfied. Because we was in the same situation and we know they can win here, and so we just have to go out there and play our game and try to win this one. I think it's a big game for the series."
A big game is what tonight will bring on. If the Spurs win at home tonight, they will be halfway to getting their revenge on the Heat, who beat them in last year's Finals in seven games.
LeBron James, who missed half of the fourth quarter, says he will be suited up and 100 percent for Game 2 in San Antonio. They are aware that they lost the opener to the Spurs in last year's Finals, as well as the opener against the Thunder in the 2012 Finals. The Heat are undefeated, 5-0, when losing the opening game of a series when LeBron James is on the court. They have always rebounded to take back Game 2 and hope to keep that streak going on Sunday.
LeBron agreed that he is the easiest player to target as far as criticism and the social media goes. Being down 2-0 in the Finals wouldn't help that either. A laughing Dwyane Wade commented on that, saying:
"I'm sure the series would be over from the outside."
Wade also went on to say:
"Our focus is on how we can win ballgames and understand in the series it's the first one to four; not the first one to one, not the first one to two, not the first one to three." He also said, "We understand the journey, we understand the path and what it takes to get there."
Prior to James leaving Game 1 in the fourth quarter with cramps, the Heat were on their way to win. The Spurs had trouble handling the ball, committing 23 turnovers that led to 28 Miami points. In addition to that, it also prevented San Antonio from getting the ball down low to Tim Duncan. Duncan was shooting the ball great, finishing 9 of 10 from the field.
On Saturday, we learned that Duncan has always wanted to play as a point guard. Head coach Gregg Popovich was asked if Duncan ever demands the ball more. He replied by saying:
"No, the only thing Timmy has ever demanded is he wants to play the point and he thinks I've held him back. True Story. He thinks he's a point guard."
However, the chances of one of the best Power Forwards to ever play the game to transition to the point was diminished on Thursday. Duncan said:
"After my five turnovers the other night, I think I took a step back from that." He added that he loves to play in the middle of the court, making decisions and placing the ball in the right place.
If Tony Parker keeps playing like he did in Game 1, the Spurs won't need Duncan to make that transition anyway. After missing the second half of Game 6 in the Western Conference Finals, Parker (sprained ankle) looked very healthy against the Heat. When he heard that Duncan and Popovich brought up Duncan's demands, he said:
"Are we still talking about that? I can't believe they brought it up in the NBA Finals. It's been a joke that Timmy thinks he's a great quarterback, that he can be a good passer. I disagree with that. I want to keep my spot."
After the air conditioning inside the AT&T Center reportedly broke for Game 1, it has now been fixed. Temperatures on the court read up to 90 degrees, which had a huge impact on the game. By that, I mean the fact that it led to James being carried off the court and sitting out for the last half of the fourth quarter. Had James been in, it could've been a different ball game. More good news is that James has been practicing and receiving treatment to make sure it doesn't happen again.
"You can't think about what may happen in the third or fourth quarter. Live in the moment," said LeBron James. "And for me, whatever I can give my teammates if it happens again, hopefully I can make an impact while I'm on the floor and that's all that matters to me."
Back in 2007, when James was a member for the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Spurs got James into a 2-0 hole in the Finals. Now with the Miami Heat, we have learned that they can get themselves out of trouble just as quickly as they get themselves into it.
"That's why they are two-time champs. To win championships, you have to face adversity and come back from any situation, and they've proved that over the years. That's why it's our job to stay focused and we know it's just one game, and we know they're capable to come back and win at our place."
The Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs know the importance of this game and it will be a game to watch. If the Spurs continue their home game-winning streak, they will win the Finals. Even if Miami wins out at home, which they have done all postseason, they still wouldn't have enough to win. The Heat need to win a game on the road in order to have a chance at a third straight championship and they will do anything to accomplish that.

Based on "precise intelligence information", a unit of the Syrian army killed more than 20 "terrorists" and injured many others in the ambush, while the armed rebels were sneaking out on a sub-road between the eastern al-Ghouta countryside and the rugged al-Qalamoun region, north of Damascus, Xinhua reported citing the official SANA news agency.
On Wednesday, the Syrian troops killed more than 175 rebels in al-Ataibeh suburb in Ghouta, the official media said, calling the rebels "radicals from Al Qaeda-inspired Nusra Front and the so-called Islam Brigade".
The rebels, backed by foreign jihadis, have long attempted to launch planned attacks in the eastern Ghouta countryside, in a bid to break the Syrian government's control over the surroundings of the capital.
Opposition fighters are reportedly planning a large-scale offensive against the government-controlled countryside of Damascus with the aim of breaking its siege and halt its progress in central Syria.
The Lebanese al-Manar TV and pro-government Syrian TV outlets said some Western and Arab countries are stepping up support to rebels in Syria, mainly in the southern province of Daraa which borders Jordan.
The recent rebel movements in the countryside of Damascus are believed to be a prelude for a bigger battle, observers say.

Bertrand Russell is a well known modern philosopher who has written on many subjects in epistemology, ethics, metaphysics and analytic philosophy, but this essay will only focus on one of his works titled "A Free Man's Worship". Russell's essay is seen as a direct response to Immanuel Kant's argument on the need for religion as the culmination of ethics and that without God there is no reason to believe that there is meaning or purpose to our lives. Bertrand Russell argues that morality is easily found independent of religion and that morality may be more likely to occur outside of any religious structure.
Russell begins with a story of creation according to Mephistopheles as spoken to the infamous character Faustus in which we learn that the universe is not a conscious being that created everything with a purpose. Instead we are products of random events and creatures and forces that have no concern for our accomplishments or quality of life. Such a poetic and dramatic introduction seems fitting for this particular essay because the essay its self is poetic and dramatic. "A Free Man's Worship" is a horse of a different sort as they say. For a philosophical discourse, Russell's rhetoric is verbose and flowery; poetic and dramatic. The reader could easily get lost in short passages that seem to demand a response rooted in reactionary emotions instead of appealing to reason. This appeal to emotion concerning the despair and suffering of humanity seems exaggerated to the point of absurdity. If I had not known this was an essay by Bertrand Russell, I would have guessed this to be an earlier John Paul Sartre instead of an analytic philosopher, but Bertrand Russell was an accomplished and intelligent man who did not limit himself to a single dry style of writing. When discussing the meaning of life or how we are to react to the omnipotent yet blind uncaring Nature with a sense of purpose, the issue is deeply rooted if not solely discussed in the context of human emotion and experience therefore the message is more readily received if a writer speaks to the reader as a whole human being with an emotional and rational core instead of simply appealing to rationality. Though his writing style deviates from what one might expect a philosophical essay to be written as, he did not sacrifice content and logic in an attempt to appeal to the emotional side of being human. Russell understood that there are many styles to get your message out in a profound and effective way while making a rationally compelling argument.
What are we to do with an unthinking and uncaring world when we find ourselves to be intelligent moral agents in that world? Russell worded this issue by wondering what "a strange mystery it is that Nature, omnipotent but blind, in the revolutions of her secular hurrying through the abysses of space, has brought forth at last a child, subject still to her power, but gifted with sight, with knowledge of good and evil, with the capacity of judging all the works of his unthinking Mother." The planet that bore us from the random matter and natural selection of species does not have the capability to understand or care about what sentient human beings care about or do in their lives. This can be a lonely thought; to be the only beings contemplating existence and meaning while the world that created us is oblivious to our struggles and suffering. More importantly, it is a depressing realization that our suffering, or the human condition, is simply a product of random collisions and reactions instead of a creation by a similar minded being to us with an interest in our lives. No one will congratulate us on our accomplishments and everything humanity has accomplished will one day crumble without meaning. According to Bertrand Russell "the whole temple of Man's achievement must inevitably be buried beneath the debris of a universe in ruins." If the world was not created with a purpose and all of our accomplishments will slip away unnoticed due to time, it seems that any action or accomplishment reached is pointless and human lives are meaningless.
Because we have the capacity to act with purpose or an end in mind we easily assume that the actions and events in the world around us are put in place by a similar mind to ours with an end in mind. For this reason humans assume there must be another being with a purpose in mind that set our world in motion. With this concept of a god, one that has a purpose for our existence, our happiness and suffering are no longer meaningless and in vain but are important to something other than ourselves.
But something simply creating or setting the world in motion is not enough to satisfy the human need for purpose and understanding. Bertrand Russell believes that the savage "having in himself nothing that he respects more than Power, is willing to prostrate himself before his gods, without inquiring whether they are worthy of his worship." By placating these gods, the savage attempts to effect the assumed desires of Nature towards a more favorable outcome than suffering, but the savage soon learns that no matter what they sacrifice, Nature is omnipotent, blind, and def to their wishes. No matter how the savage attempts to pacify the gods, he will still suffer. When the savage experiences this injustice he comes to the realization that the world around him has no concept of the good and judgment and that this concept of good is unique to humanity. When man realizes that his ideals do not match reality, "man creates God, all-powerful and all-good, the mystic unity of what is and what should be." By doing this man creates a solution to the disconnect he sees between the actual world and the ideal created by our imagination and concept of the good. With an omnipotent and omni–benevolent god, people seem to think they have a purpose to live for and strive to accomplish that purpose that would not have had before which makes all of the suffering easier to bear if one believes it is for the good in the end and not simply a purpose given by a possibly evil or uncaring god.
Russell asserts that "the world of fact, after all, is not good". If the world is not good but is instead "blind" to our suffering, Russell argues that we must choose to either worship Force or Goodness. Russell asks, "Shall our God exist and be evil, or shall he be recognized as the creation of our own conscience?" Whatever concept of God we create or whatever is deemed praiseworthy must either truly exist in this world and not be good because creation is not good, or it is good but only exists in our minds which are the only things contemplating the good. Here Russell appeals to the world around us which works and continues without regard to human wishes which is incompatible with the concept of a good creator, so if there is a creator it is not good and therefore does not deserve worship. If anything is worth worshiping or is worth admiration it must be the good in our minds because it is above the unthinking creation that is without such a value.
According to Russell, "the worship of force, to which Carlyle and Nietzsche and the creed of Militarism have accustomed us, is the result of failure to maintain our own ideals against a hostile universe". Humans have ideals of truth, beauty, and perfection "which life does not permit us to attain, though none of these things meet with the approval of the unconscious universe." Because of the physical restraints on our bodies in this deterministic world, we cannot be free from the "tyranny of outside forces; but in thought, in aspiration, we are free". We are unique and free from the cold deterministic world in our thoughts with our reason and imagination that lead us to question and create good and morality untouched by the uncaring world around us. Essentially Bertrand Russell is arguing here that devoting worship toward or focusing on our own created good God or moral intellectual abilities is better than submitting to and being trapped by Nature which keeps us from higher thoughts.
After a person realizes that Nature may have power, but we have the more important love of the good, Russell says there is a disconnect between what the individual sees as objective facts about our world and our idea of how the world would be if brought about by a caring universe. This disconnect breeds "a spirit of fiery revolt, of fierce hatred of the gods [which] seems necessary to the assertion of freedom." By passionately hating the forces of Nature or the gods, the individual is then trapped by that hatred and their thoughts are "occupied with an evil world." To truly be free the individual must be rid of desires for the ideal to actualize in the world. By doing this our thoughts are free to contemplate such things as beauty and the good as thoughts should, and in this manner our thoughts are not held down by the Power of Nature. Even though our thoughts should not be weighted down with desires in the world, and even though we should not prostrate ourselves before Evil and brute Force, there is a point where a "degree of submission to Power is not only just and right; it is the very gate of wisdom", Bertrand Russell asserts. By resigning to the objective fact that we are powerless before Nature's Power, we are saving ourselves from the pain brought about when we desire in vain that which is impossible to be given by the world or Fate.
But we cannot worship our ideals solely by renunciation of desire for actualized ideals. In order to achieve the wisdom that Russell believes we can gain from renunciation of selfish desires for the ideal, we must also use our rational capabilities and our imagination in order to contemplate goodness and beauty which are beyond the world in which we are bound. Russell illustrates this by writing that the temple of wisdom that we are attempting to reach "appears in the realm of imagination, in music, in architecture in the untroubled kingdom of reason and in the golden sunset magic of lyrics, where beauty shines and glows, remote from the touch of sorrow, remote from the fear of change, remote from the failures and disenchantments of the world of fact." Here we see the dramatic writing style and poeticism in this essay were one would expect dry arguments that simply appeal to rationality. Such dramatic writing is common in existential literature. In this passage we have passion portrayed through quick succession of ideas and repetition coupled with the assumption that the audience will agree with such statements that are understood to be intuitively correct without much exploration. I believe this is mostly because Russell assumes that existential angst is a part of the human condition and is therefore common to and understood by all. Still, Russell's point is elegantly illustrated. It is in the mind with its emotion, reason, and imagination that the soul of an individual finds freedom, rest, beauty, good, and wisdom all free from and more praiseworthy than the power of blind Nature.
Russell then asserts that in despair "all the loneliness of humanity amid hostile forces is concentrated upon the individual soul, which must struggle alone, with what of courage it can command, against the whole weight of a universe that cares nothing for its hopes and fears."It is through suffering that we define our existence and come to fully understand the meaning or implications of the fact that we do exist in all our rationality and our flaws. The inadequacies of the world when held up to human ideals and concepts of good leaves our thoughts and imagination as the only thing left to worship and give us purpose. Human thought is the measure of things essentially. We create our existence and give ourselves value and purpose even if our blind uncaring mother has no purpose to give us. This is the main point of existentialism. We have the power, the intelligence, and the need to create our own purpose and act according to the good which we have created. There is no need for a supreme being to pass down judgment and give meaning because the world or creation does not offer those to us so we create Good and purpose ourselves.
Bertrand Russell's concept of a god worth worshiping is not an actual deity, but is in fact the unique concept of good that humans have because of their unique intellect and creativity. This leaves little room for religion acting as the moral compass for individuals. Russell does not argue that religion cannot shape and steer action toward a positive end, but he does argue that morality exists prior to and independent of religious beliefs and practices. By demonstrating the incompatibility of prominent religious beliefs and the actual world, we see that morality and the good are judged on a level separate from religious dogmas or theologies suggesting that the concept is independent of such social institutions. Russell even mentions in a small passage that many wrongs have been done to individuals because of religion. He describes bloody and brutal sacrifices to the god Moloch which Russell believes came about because of the misdirected worship toward Power and a focus on things of this world that are not as worthy as our own thoughts.
Existence, self-given-purpose, and a focus on individual suffering and responsibility are the main focus of this essay because Russell is trying to assert the existential decree that life is what we make it and we have no choice in that matter. There is no god to hand down assignments and there is no opting out of making choices that shape our lives and meaning. Our existence and meaning are only salvaged from the absurdity of suffering in an uncaring world by our choice to free ourselves from the omnipotence of our uncaring mother and to continue to hold our ideals against that uncaring power because we exist, we are unique, and we have the mind and the power to create purpose and live moral lives according to the concept of the good we can all gain from suffering and contemplation.

There has been a lot of discussion this off season about what the Chiefs should do with their first round pick, and much of it seems centered around whether or not the Chiefs should select a wide receiver in the first round. While we will continue to debate what John Dorsey should do at number 23 overall, let's assume for today the Chiefs do elect to take a wide receiver. Who should they take?
There are several candidates who could be around with the Chiefs pick: Odell Beckham Jr., Marqise Lee, and Brandin Cooks seem to be at the top of most people's list. So which one is the best fit? All three have great speed and are elusive with the ball in their hands. All three were very productive in college. All three have played against top college competition and have been successful. All of this makes choosing between the three very difficult.
So if all three of Beckham Jr., Lee, and Cooks are available to the Chiefs in the first round, who should they pick? Let us who you voted for and why in the comments.

Charles Hamilton - Air Agains
Artist: Charles Hamilton
Producer: Charles Hamilton
Album: Normalcy Project
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 19 votes )
Charles Hamilton's comeback tour is off to a rocky start. After garnering some deserved praise from the Booth for Charles Hamilton is Back, his next track Loserville received mixed reviews, and then his new Normalcy Project mixtape missed its release date last Wednesday. Only Hamilton knows what's going on behind closed doors, so in the meantime we'll have to be content with new leaks like Air Agains. A track that's immediately remarkable for its far left-of-center, Bollywood-influenced beat, produced by Hamilton itself, Air Agains is truly memorable for the man's lyrical output, a scorching four minutes that touch on everything from his anger at MTV for leaving him off its Hottest MCs list to the assassination of Martin Luther King: "I just blacked out like Dr. King's future, oh you rappers say you got a dream, do ya?" I think we all know lines like that could only come from the mind of one man. The Normalcy Project is now set to drop…um…whenever Hamilton decides. Stay tuned for more

BPI wants to block more music download sites
By Stewart Mitchell
Posted on 19 Feb 2013 at 12:23
The BPI is seeking to block three more BitTorrent sites, with the music industry group seeking a court order to make ISPs stop would-be downloaders accessing the sites.
The three sites - Fenopy, H33t and Kickass Torrents – would face the same sanctions previously imposed on Newzbin2 and The Pirate Bay, with the BPI asking ISPs to block access to those sites over piracy concerns.
ISPs have said they will block sites, but only with a court order. The case against the three domains is expected to be heard at the Chancery Division of the High Court today.
The move has attracted criticism from rights groups, who believe the legal procedure involved in the cases lacks transparency, especially as it allows the blacklist to be widened without further legal process.
Once a site is blocked, its alleged clone sites can also be blocked, but in this case, BPI will be able to practice this without a court order
Although the sites that are set to be blocked would have a direct court order forcing ISPs to prevent access, copycat sites with similar names can be blocked without judicial scrutiny.
"Once a site is blocked, its alleged clone sites can also be blocked, but in this case, BPI will be able to practice this without a court order. The decisions would be made between BPI and ISPs and will not be published," the Open Rights Group said.
The criticism follows the BPI blocking a site called The Promo Bay last year after it was added to the list of sites that were wrapped up with The Pirate Bay.
Although the site was set up by The Pirate Bay staffers, it was a legal site promoting new musicians.
The BPI has confirmed to PC Pro that it's taking legal action over three sites. "We are seeking court orders requiring ISPs to block access to three infringing websites," the BPI said. "The matter is currently being considered by the court and it isn't appropriate to comment further at this point."
If anything would make me LESS inclined to buy music
..I can't think of it.
The BPI are full of it.
When will the legal profession stop caving in to bogus claims for internet censorship?
Any pirate will simply use a proxy or VPN, meanwhile more internet "book burning" by the BPI.

Because by tomorrow it may be gone, banned in the name of corporate monopoly preservation.
By cheysuli on 19 Feb 2013
Because blocking the Pirate Bay has been such a roaring success... initially they took a hit but mirrors were up with in hours and I don't doubt the same will happen with the sites above.
Good to see the BPI doing it's bit for free torrent site advertising, hadn't heard of a couple of them, lol.
Would be nice if the BPI put its energy into trying to modernise copyright law and helping content owners to provide better alternatives for reasonable prices.
Look at Steam as an example, lot of companies wouldn't release games in Russia because the piracy was so bad but it turned out that no one had offered the consumers a safe, secure, legal, easy to use system until Valve and they made a killing.

Because of the BPI in 2012 I stopped buying any recorded music
well done BPI you saved me hundreds of pounds.

As you can record the Music streams off YouTube, presumably the BPI will try and ban Google as well......
Good luck trying to do that !!!! :-)

Hi guys I'm obsessed with this shit lately because I don't want anyone to have unhappy, unsupported boobs like I did. Even if you think your boobs and bras are fine, try it. It will make a big difference in comfort, support, and shape, even if you have small boobs or big boobs. A proper fitting…
if anyone out there is still interested in what i got to say, i'm moving my tumblr to new username, morbid-zanna. this one will most likely stay on, but will never or close to never used
please watch this.
I watched this whole documentary in my sociology class and it only made me MORE dissatisfied with the advertising and fashion world today. UGH! I wish women would be as free as men are to be who we want/are and do what we want/need! There should be no 'ideal image of beauty' that each woman has to fit into. And furthermore, there shouldn't be constant outside pressure to fit into such image.
