For twenty eight years it did seem as if My Bloody Valentine was doomed to a curse by censorship. Forgotten, though, it wasnt. Everyone knew of the horrors the MPAA inflicted upon this little Canadian cash in on Paramounts past success with Friday the 13th. So revered were the death scenes that were all but excluded from the finished film that Im sure, if you were to tally the threads, Valentine received more uncut requests than even the Friday films that spawned it. All the petitions, posts and emails, though, couldnt escape the fact that the film remained a property of Paramount, and not only was the film too small a fish to fry, but they dont even go unrated for their biggest properties. All that changed earlier this year when, gasp, Lionsgate of all companies got a hold of the DVD rights. It seemed like some fanboy had hacked into the Lionsgate email, but reports were coming out first that the deleted footage had been found, and then later that it would actually be seamlessly branched into the feature film. Seemed too good to be true, and now its gotten even better its on blu-ray. Lets cut to the heart of this slasher favorite.
The Story

In one of cinemas most tacked on, but undoubtedly still effective, preludes, some miners walk through some ambient Hanniger Mines. We see the claustrophobic locale, and then get another surprising sight, when one of the miners strips down to a buxom bra complete with a heart tattoo on her breast. We hear some heavy breathing, not motivated by slasher convention but instead the actual gas mask the miner wears, and then the miner impales her heart(s) on a suspended pick axe. Theres no mention of this lady, or even of the man, thereafter, but the scene certainly stands out. We then hit the showers with the rest of the gang for some blue collar banter. What we learn is that T.J. (Paul Kelman) is the mine owners son who recently returned home with his tail between his legs after a stint in the west came up dry. When he left he left his girl, Sarah (Lori Hallier), who over time fell into the hands of T.J.s former buddy and colleague, Axel (Neil Affleck). I know, this is all starting to sound like an episode of Minerose Place!

With the love triangle established, its back to the slash, as the people in Valentine Bluffs gear up for everyones favorite day. They plan for their first Valentines party in twenty years (on, wait for it...Saturday the 14th), after a tragic mining accident forced the town to put the community tradition on hold. Still, some of the locals, including the old coot bartender, spout cryptic prose about the tragedy that may strike if the valentine embargo is released. See, as the legend goes, Harry Warden, along with six other miners, were trapped in the mine after safety workers neglected their post in favor of the big dance. Everyone but Warden died, but a year later Harry came back to take the lives, and the hearts, of the two men who left them to die. With the dead miners hearts stuffed in chocolate boxes, Harry said hed kill again if the dance was ever resumed, and now twenty years later the townsfolk are putting his threat to the test.

It doesnt take long for the party to get cancelled, though, when nice old Mabel is de-hearted and cooked to death in a Laundromat dryer. That doesnt stop the miners from a good time, though, and they instead come up with the harmless idea of having the party right in the mines. Whats that saying about the belly of the beast, again? Anyway, they do their thing and start to die at the hand of a masked miner while the police department start making calls trying to find Harrys whereabouts. He was committed years ago, but now the sanitarium has no current records of the man. Death leaves no time for formalities, though, and one by one Harrys legend will be carved into each of those who ever doubted his claims. This Valentines Day there will be blood.

Theres a reason why My Bloody Valentine has retained such a growing following among slasher fans it truly does have it all. It truly is one of those slashers that embodies absolutely everything fans love about the genre. Halloween had style, music and character while Friday the 13th had gore, a body count and a lot of, err, camp. My Bloody Valentine has its way with both now thanks to the newly restored gore scenes (more on that later). On one hand its a rich study of community and character, molded like the National Film Board documentaries for which its native Canada is known. You get a welcome window into the life of coal miners, replete with location footage of actual mines in Sydney Mines, Nova Scotia shot on high speed stock with almost natural lighting. The locations are all authentic, and so are the characters and dramas. The scenes with all the miners fraternizing and joking about their masculinity seem pulled right out of reality, and the whole bit with T.J. failing to reap the rewards of the Western Canadian oil boom references Canadas premiere motion picture, the William Fruet penned Goin Down the Road. From the accents right down to all that Moosehead beer, theres an authenticity abound in My Bloody Valentine that could never be cultivated in Hollywood. Several years ago I actually visited the Sydney Mines and in reality the locations still are little different than the ones depicted in the film thats how authentic it all is.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc5s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc5l.jpg) http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotb5s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotb5l.jpg)http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot5s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot5l.jpg)Paramount DVDLionsgate DVDLionsgate Blu-ray
Even the love triangle seems culled from genuine human emotion rather than orchestrated plot mechanics. The leads play their parts with a lot of angst and turmoil, and the intertwined relationship drama only heightens upon the twisty climax. As a testament to the quality of its characters, how many other slashers out there can you think of that not only have the audacity to center themselves around something as horror diverting as a melodramatic love story, but to go and do it well?
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc14s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc14l.jpg)

Thats not the only things the film does well. The killer is a menacing beast with those black empty eyes, and the deaths have both variety and originality. Just like the filmmakers used the actual mine locations to their fullest to preserve authenticity, even the deaths and the killer are constructed with an acute attention to reality. Director George Mihalka has not only made some great scares, but hes done one better by making them fit within the parameters of the real. The heavy breathing is a staple of slasher killers, but here its motivated by the miners mask and really adds a claustrophobic uncertainty to the mix. Similarly, the kills are creative, but make a fresh use of topical surroundings. The death in the dressing room, where the pieces of clothing shoot down and then the woman is impaled on a seared pipe enlighten to the construction of olden mines, but also frighten with their choreographed payoff. Again, this is both a slasher that satisfies the mind and one that gets you in the gut, too.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc10s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc10l.jpg)

The pacing is quick, with kills at a very consistent clip, and there is some nice character comedy that adds some levity to offset all the town tragedy. Paul Zaza, Canadas slasher scorerer extraordinaire, having done the Prom Night films, Curtains, American Nightmare, Murder by Decree and almost every other Canuxploitation film worth its salt in the eighties and nineties, also contributes another subtle, atmospheric track that meshes the sort of water drip echo of the decaying mines with more traditional and old fashioned sound cues. His end ballad, which Ive partially quoted above, stands as a high point of slasher soundtracks (right beside Zazas completely different disco beats in Prom Night!) and gives a sad, lasting legend to the film that wouldnt seem out of place in the best films of John Ford. While Friday the 13th and Halloween proved to be the better templates for replication, I think My Bloody Valentine stands as the finest valentine for the genre, one where every element fell perfectly in alignment.

Now, with the long lost gore scenes fully intact, the film can finally be said to have it all. These effects arent just little snippets here and there. There are elaborate deaths, from a pick axe coming through the head to Fulci the eye, to decapitations and even nail gun penetrations. These things are nasty, and its quite amazing, really, just how much was carved out by the MPAA. Watching the film before, the one weakness was always how quick the cuts were during the death scenes. Of course this was something imposed by the censors, but it was still something that affected the film. The included scenes now not only make the death scenes finally seem complete, but the elevate each and every one even above any expectations. The effects work tone by Tom Burman (Happy Birthday to Me, Halloween III, Invasion of the Body Snatchers) is still shocking, and at the time with its protruding blades through actual skin, pretty revolutionary. Youd see the effects happening rather than just molded cutaways, and its stuff that would have rivaled Savinis work had the audiences actually been able to see it.

But we can see it now, and finally, twenty eight years later, this masterpiece slasher is finally complete. Its got everything. Its got heart and at the same time it cuts it out. Its legend, they say, will still live on and on, but now instead of being known as a censored martyr, itll finally be rightfully revered as one of the true classics of horrors most enduring genre. Its about bloody time!

As much as My Bloody Valentine has a history for being maligned, Paramounts initial DVD is actually pretty damn good. Compared to Lionsgates DVDs and Blu-rays, its more vibrant, warmer in tone and at times even better detailed. At the same time, though, the Paramount transfer was done in 2002 and a lot has changed since. It doesnt have the black detail that discs today do, and looking at the Lionsgate discs, particularly the Blu-ray, there is a lot more picture information that was once lost to contrast. While I think the Lionsgate DVD is a tad dull when it comes to color, I think the Blu-ray does a little better at adding the pop that the valentine crimson used to have on the Paramount disc. Skin tones are best on the Blu-ray, although there are still times (see the miner three shot below) where I think the old DVD does it best. Framing wise, I could see the Paramount disc having a smidge more picture area than the other two discs, but overall the differences are negligible. One thing both Lionsgate discs improve upon the Paramount disc are edges, which previously fell victim to compression artifacting or even a bit of edge enhancement. Here they seem totally organic, and especially in the Blu-ray, almost seamless.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc6s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shotc6l.jpg)

While the detail in the backgrounds and objects isnt a whole lot different from DVD to Blu-ray, going Blu in this case certainly does constitute a pretty significant upgrade. There is very little digital interference from getting right into the movie. Almost every shot really does look sharp and clean enough to constitute the perception of realistic depth. For the bulk of it, other than a few dark mine sequences at the end where the grain takes on an unflattering green in the shadows, it hardly seems as if youre even looking at a screen or a projected image. It looks great. Its not a total knockout, but this transfer is consistently sharp and clean.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot36s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot36l.jpg)http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot30s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot30l.jpg)ExtendedTheatricalNow, the deleted scenes. Ill leave speaking about what extra is included for the special features and instead focus solely on the image quality. On the Blu-ray, they have been edited into a longer cut of the film that takes up its own 20 GB file on the dual layer disc. Basically, once there is a longer shot of the gore the film switches to the discovered footage and generally sticks with it until the end, even if there are overlapping moments (reaction shots and the like). There is a noticeable deterioration in quality, with the found footage grainer, lower contrast and worst of all browned and lacking in overall color density compared to the feature film footage. That said, it still integrates into the regular cut of the film fairly well, and in a way the lesser quality of the new footage works as a nice tip-off to just how much was actually missing from the final cut. Its about the difference between the two different Army of Darkness cuts in terms of quality, but Lionsgate has done their best to integrate it, and seeing it in HD is something Im sure no fan ever imagined.
While the Paramount DVD was mono only, Lionsgate has given both the DVD and Blu-ray nice 5.1 remixes. The DVD is in Dolby Digital 5.1, while the Blu-ray comes through crisp in DTS-HD 5.1. Right from the start you will hear some nice ambient water droplets in the mine footage, and while the surrounds dont get much more of a workout than that directionally, the overall sound space is spread out pretty well throughout. There are a few more directional dialogue bits in the front channels, and music stingers come from all sides. Dialogue is very clear and even that last Celtic ballad comes through well preserved. Its not a showy mix, but much like the image, its a consistently strong upgrade.
Supplemental Material
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot47s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot47l.jpg)Deleted scenes. Thats really all I have to say. Ive been mentioning them throughout the review, and here I can finally gush. What theyve uncovered is simply amazing. There had been a few screenshots circulating on sites like Hysteria Lives! For years, but the actual footage here is so much more. There is a full 2:34 of extra material and its all violence. Every single death from the film is now much longer and much more graphic, including things like seeing the pick axe go through the opening womans breast, it piercing the bartenders eye or Mabel rolling around in the dryer. Almost every death now has a new insert shot of the carnage, and its all quite nasty and convincing. There are a few deaths, like Mabels or the nailgun shots that seem to be stretched out a bit too long, but just read that complaining about gore going for TOO LONG in My Bloody Valentine. It blows the mind. Trust me, fans, this isnt your case of an unrated upgrade with a few extra frames this literally has seconds and several completely excised shots now completely restored. It wouldnt be hyperbole to call this new cut the best uncut upgrade the format has ever seen.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot31s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot31l.jpg)

The extra gore effects have been edited back in the film for greater context at the start and end of sequences. Theres also welcome introductions from a variety of the crew, including Director George Mihalka, (legendary) Producers John Dunning and Andre Link, Effectsmen Tom Burnham and Ken Diaz and even actors Carl Marotte and Neil Affleck. While few of the optional introductions go into depth about any given gore scene or effect, they do address the scene, whether it be straight on or by association, and do provide a nice lead in for all 10 extended scenes. They could all be introduced by Carrot Top, though, and it wouldnt take away from the fact that this footage, forever thought lost, is finally available to all.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot40s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/a-m/mbvblu/mbvblu_shot40l.jpg)Both Lionsgate discs also include two other newly minted features. The first is Bloodlust: My Bloody Valentine and the Rise of the Slasher Film. It runs just over 20-minutes, and maybe covers a bit too much ground for its own good. Its part a history lesson leading up to the rise of the slasher, narrated by Going to Pieces author Adam Rockoff. Its stuff we, as seasoned slasher fans, already all know. Then we get into talk about My Bloody Valentine, with all the participants included in the extended scenes introductions as well as the lovely Lori Hallier. Time is spent talking about how everyone went to great lengths to ensure authenticity in the film, and Mihalka goes into detail about the time constraints and just how fast this all came together. After that, Rockoff takes over again and brings us up to speed history wise to where we were earlier this year before the release of the remake. That segues into talk from many of the participants in the remake, from director Patrick Lussier to actors Jamie King and Kerr Smith. Sadly more time is spent promoting the new film than talking about the old, but still, overall its an entertaining piece. The best is the end, where Paul Zaza comes to talk about how the infamous end credit ballad came to be.
There is also a menu-driven text supplement, Bloodlines: An Interactive Horror Film History, which breaks the splatter film down into a number of different genres, from Backwoods Bloodletting to Torture Porn, with a few pages of text on each one, citing key films and both their genesis and impact. Again, its stuff we already know, but its not bad to see it split up and organized in such a fashion. Its written all by Adam Rockoff.
One thing the Blu-ray has that the previous DVDs dont is the original theatrical trailer. What fun it is to see that classic bodycount trailer once more. Promoted like that, I dont know how the film didnt do better at the box office. It should be noted that all Blu-ray extras are in standard definition, and, ick, interlaced. A commentary with the cast or one with the director solo would have been icing, but we got the deleted scenes, so all the rest is a nice bonus.

It bridges the character and style of Halloween with the inventive bodycount and gore of the Friday the 13th films. The distinctive personality of its east coast accents and its on-location mine footage make it one of the most authentic films of the genre, too. Its always had heart, and filled out with the much revered cut gore effects, its finally got blood enough to pump the film for modern audiences in years to come. The image and sound on the Lionsgate discs are healthy upgrades and the extras that arent the already amazing deleted scenes are good, too. Save (maybe?) for Friday the 13th, Part VII: The New Blood, I dont think any other film is improved as much by its cut scenes than My Bloody Valentine. One of the best slashers just got even better, and this is a valentine no horror fan should be without.

Another great review rhett, and thanks for the screen comparisons! I was very pleased with the Blu-ray. Now, if only Lionsgate would stop using those damn ecocases!
Yeah, they are flimsy and annoying, aren't they? Normally I like to stick the top sticker inside the case, but now with all these punctured holes in the cases, you can't even do that. But it's better for the environment (and, conveniently, cheaper to manufacture) so I can't bitch too much about them!
I love this movie and even loved the remake. I got this blu-ray this week and havent had a chance to watch it yet but looks like they did a pretty solid job with it.
Great Slasher (one of my faves) and great review Rhett!!!...damn now i wish the DVD had the trailer...oh well :D atleast its uncut! :)
Hmmm...my blu-ray didn't have one of those eco-cases. Overrated slasher IMO, but that's one hell of a review. Top notch buddy.
Yeah, This is your best review yet, Rhett.
This is my favorite slasher of all-time and I plan to buy it soon, but the color in the Paramount DVD is way better! :(
Excellent review, you have hit the nail on the head with that one. A fantastic Slasher with as much personality as it does blood ! This one will be in my Stocking this year. Hopefully!! One of my all time faves.
Great review! Once again, made me want to switch to Blu ... next year, with a new computer, I very well may :D
Erick H.
Great review.I was very pleased when I saw the DVD,perhaps I'll upgrade to the Blu in the future.
It's me, Billy
I found this at Walmart for $10.00. They're changing the DVD section again and they're making room for quite a bit of $10 and $15 Blus.
For those of you living in Quebec: just bought the blu for 9 $ yesterday at Walmart. They also have the remake for the same price. Don't know how long the sale will last

Goals: Chang'e 2 orbiter was China's second lunar mission. Once it completed its science and engineering objectives in lunar obit, it was sent to orbit around Lagrangian point L2 about 1.5 million km away from Earth, where gravity from the sun and Earth balances the orbital motion of a satellite.
Accomplishments: Chang'e 2 arrived at L2 as planned. China is now the world's third country or organization to successfully put a spacecraft into orbit around L2, after the European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA.

Trevor Henderson Adds Color To Feature Creatures And Body Horror [Art]
Like a lot of people, Trevor Henderson has a special affection for the monster movies from the late 1970s and 1980s. But when Henderson illustrates his favorite flicks, he focuses less on the heroes than the horrors, meditating on Videodrome's torso-VCR madness, They Live's gruesome alien invaders, The Thing's poor, infected pooch and Brain Damage's grey matter-sucking parasite. All the while, he plays with brigh

The Best Hairstyles at the 2014 Golden Globes
"Jennifer's colorist nailed it," says ColorProof Evolved Color Care's Jim Markham of the star's warm, face-framing caramel pieces. "The highlights de-emphasize her strong jawline and draw attention up to her best feature: her eyes. There's enough of her real color showing through to keep it natural-looking, and the subtle transition of color complements her skin to create a radiant glow."
Red tends to fade faster than any other color, so once you've settled on a shade you love, you'll want to lock it in. Stick to sulfate-free shampoos especially formulated for color-treated hair, such as Natu Professional Colorist Shampoo ($18). "Every product, from blow-dry cream to hairspray, should include color protection to minimize fading," adds Markham, who recommends using a clarifying shampoo like ColorProof's ClearItUp ($29.96) once a week.

Reward your cat with a special treat! At a small cost, you can grow your own catnip, with enough to supply the whole neighborhood, make a home-made scratch post so your cat doesn't claw your furniture, and make cat toys out of things you already have in your house.
How To Grow Your Own Catnip
- Start with seeds. You can usually get a packet for a couple of dollars from a local nursery or home supply store or from a mail-order seed company.
- Plant outside.
- Sow the seeds in rows 18 inches apart in a garden or in one row down the middle of a flower box at least 16 inches wide and 10 inches deep.
- Plant in well worked soil and in an area that receives moderate to strong sun. The seeds are fine, like basil seeds, so you might want to mix them with sand for sowing.
- Mulch. The plants prefer rich soil as long as it's mulched with hay, dried lawn clippings, straw, or cocoa hulls.
- Harvest. Catnip grows quickly and can reach a few feet high in a few months.
- When the plant reaches at least 18 inches high and has thumb-size leaves, but before it turns yellow, strip the leaves or cut the entire stalks.
- Dry. Tie the stalks together and hang them upside down in the shade for a couple of days. Or lay the leaves on old newspaper in the shade.
Play. Bring a stalk out for the cats to rub against or roll on. Or crumble dried leaves and/or stems and tie them into four-inch squares of material using cotton string or thread. The cats will bat them, bite them, and possibly eat the contents.
How to Make Your Own Scratch Post
- Start with a log (complete with bark) about three feet high and a base about two feet square.
- Cover the bottom of the base with felt to prevent it from scratching the floor, then nail the end of the log into the base.
- You can screw a strong spring into the top of the log and attach a bit of fluff to the end of the string as a play-toy.
- Alternatively, instead of a log, use a pyramid-shaped block of wood and cover it with burlap, which can be applied with staple gun or carpet glue.
Other Easy Kitten Toys
- Pour catnip into an old sock and knot it.
- A feather from a crafts store (don't substitute a stray in the yard; it may not be sanitary.)
- A finger-width stick from the yard with a piece of string tied to the end.
- A dried sea oat.
- A drinking straw.
- Paper grocery bag.
- Ping Pong Ball.
- Shine a flash-light and watch them chase the beam.

I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas (Columbia, 1953)
Track of the Day will be on hiatus for Northwestern's winter break (Dec 16-Jan 5), but to tide you over, here's a wacky Christmas track picked by Freeform producer Jamie Lee.
In my experience, this Christmas novelty song is very divisive; first-time listeners either can't stand the song and label it as "annoying," or absolutely love the song for its blatant and intentional goofiness and inherent humor in its subject matter. Even among radio stations that play Christmas music during the holiday season, the likelihood of hearing the familiar trumpets of "I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" is extraordinarily low due to its obscurity. Although Gayla Peevey is the original, and perhaps most recognizable, artist behind the song, the song has been covered by a few others, including Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan) and The Three Stooges.
Happy Holidays from the WNUR family! See y'all in January!

I am working on a project out of 1/4" plate. I had some pieces plasma cut but the design has changed slightly. I need to modify the current pieces. I need to plasma cut about 30" to get the new shape. It is all straight lines. If somebody in the area has a plasma that I could meet up with and get this taken care of, I'd be very indebted. I have used a friends plasma before but this is a tad to thick. I can supply a case of Frosty adult beverages of your choice for this help.
Thanks in advance

1/4 Steel Plate
I'm in Phoenix, so I guess that's out of the question. I cut 1/4" and thicker all the time with my Extreme 375. Just take it a little slower.
Hope you find some one, O/A torch would certainly work!

This panorama, photographed by Christopher Gjevre, underscores the on-field action of the Tennessee Titans playing in front of their enthusiastic home crowd at LP Field. As a charter member of the American Football League, the club began play in 1960 as the Houston Oilers. In 1997, the club relocated to the state of Tennessee. In 1999, the club changed its name to the Tennessee Titans, introduced a new logo incorporating elements of the Tennessee state flag and moved into a new stadium at LP Field - home of the 12th Titan. The move to the Volunteer State brought good luck to the Titans, who went on to win the AFC Championship that year and earn a trip to Super Bowl XXXIV.
Opening game in Nashville, with the Titans laying a whoopin' on the Raiders, and 69,000 blue-clad fans celebrating another touchdown...it doesn't get any better than this! From the action on the field below, to the ecstatic crowd, to the scoreboards, video screens, and unique architecture of Tennessee's football palace, it's all here, looking absolutely fantastic for your wall. Printed in brilliant color and perfect focus on high-quality paper stock, and complete with a sharp white border that includes the official team logo and a brief descriptive paragraph, this is both a beauty for the wall of home or office, and a great collector's item for years to come. Perfect for the wall of any fan of Titans football and big-time NFL action!

Artist of the Week: Jhené Aiko
It's amazing to think that at just 25-years-old, Jhené Aiko has essentially had two separate music careers. The Los Angeles singer-songwriter initially got her start at the age of 14, where she signed a record deal with Epic and collaborated closely with R&B boy band B2K under the performing name "Jhené." She worked on a number of releases over the next few years, including B2K's Christmas-themed album Santa Hooked Me Up, before shifting her focus on finishing school.
Her calling for making music came back in 2011, when she released her debut mixtape Sailing Soul(s). The 13-track project displayed Jhené Aiko's immense potential as a singer and songwriter, with smooth records like "My Mine" and "Stranger" proving to be clear standouts. Aiko's Sailing Soul(s) immediately caught the attention of Def Jam Records, who signed her by year's end.
More recently Jhené Aiko has played a key role in working with other artists by providing stellar hooks to their songs. One of those records is Big Sean's "Beware," off the Detroit rapper's sophomore album Hall of Fame. The song has already reached number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to Aiko's sweet vocals about a sour break-up. She also worked on Drake's latest album Nothing Was The Same on "From Time," which follows a similar theme of longing for a past partner.
Jhené Aiko is currently prepping her debut album Souled Out, which is expected to be released sometime in early 2014. But first Aiko releases her debut project as No I.D.'s first Artium signee, an EP called Sail Out. Artium is an imprint of Def Jam Records, headed up by producer/Def Jam executive VP of A&R Dion "No I.D." Wilson, a figure who has served as a mentor and champion of the singer since they first met in 2011. In a recent interview with Billboard, he calls Aiko this generation's Sade–a lofty comparison in the world of R&B.
Aiko describes Sail Out as a project that connects her first mixtape with her upcoming album. "It's like bridging the gap between [my mixtape] Sailing Soul(s) and Souled Out," she tells Rap-Up. "Sail Out has a lot of the hip-hop and rap influence on it, even with the beats." With that formula in mind, her Sail Out EP is expected to include rap acts like Kendrick Lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean. Late last night she released a teaser of her song "Stay Ready (What A Life) featuring a verse from Kendrick Lamar. It's a soft and sensual love song that typifies the mode of R&B Aiko has been perfecting throughout the course of her career.
Paired with her previous single "Bed Peace," the music Aiko released in 2013 so far shows she is an R&B artist through and through. Over light guitar strums and a gentle melody in "Bed Peace" she sings about the feeling of finding that special someone, while rapper Childish Gambino glides through with warm rhymes that complete the puzzle of love. If Jhené Aiko's debut album Souled Out captures this same vibe, don't be surprised if you see her onstage soon winning a Grammy. She's that good.
We caught up with the rising star to talk about how her career has changed since the early days, the influence hip-hop has made on her sound and the importance of staying balanced. Get to know Jhené below.
We know it was a while ago, but what were those early experiences like when you first started working and recording alongside B2K?
It was really exciting for me. I was 12, going on 13. That was my school, because I wasn't in regular school. That was my childhood. It was a good experience, especially since now I learned a lot that I wouldn't have known. I was seasoned I guess.
When you initially left the music industry to finish up school, did you know at that time that you would return to music?
Yeah, I never really stopped. I wasn't really pursuing it as a career as much, but at the same time I was still doing stuff here and there. I was still writing and still doing demos for other people. I always knew when I was done with school that I was going to come back full-time and really work on my own stuff. It was something I was going to do regardless of it being my career or not. I was always going to want to sing and write music.
When you did come back, you created Sailing Soul(s). What were your thoughts going into that first mixtape? Did you have any expectations, pressures or concerns with that project?
No, I just really wanted to put out something free and show people what kind of music I do and what I'm capable of. I didn't have any expectations for it really. Previously, I was putting out songs here and there on Myspace that I made on GarageBand. People really liked them, so Sailing Soul(s) was me wanting to give out free music to the people that had been following my career since the B2K days. I didn't really know how it was going to be received, but people liked it.
That mixtape led to a lot of opportunities for you as an artist, including signing a deal with Def Jam. What advice has veteran producer and label executive No I.D. given you as an artist since signing with Def Jam?
No I.D. is a wise person. With every label situation there's always a lot of waiting around, and stuff doesn't go as smoothly just because there's so many people that are involved. He's constantly telling me, "It's going to work out, be patient," and he's just always very supportive of what I want to do. One of the best things about being signed with No I.D. is he truly understands what it is to be an artist because he's an artist also, he's a producer. So he understands the creative side of everything. He's always like, "Don't rush anything, just take your time. The music is going to be great regardless of what's happening."
Your upcoming EP Sail Out will include guest features from Kendrick lamar, Wiz Khalifa and Big Sean. How do you balance your songwriting when working in such a hip-hop influenced world?
Well I grew up listening to a lot of hip-hop, and it's influenced my writing. And I just think it's a part of me, so it's easy to incorporate a lot of the hip-hop artists that I'm working with. Like I'll write a song and I'll leave like 16 bars open just so someone can get on it and rap. Actually, when I was younger I used to think I was going to be a rapper and not a singer. I used to write raps and have my mom help me write them down because I was so young that it was before I could even write. So I was like, "Write these raps," and my mom would write them down for me.
This running theme of "setting sail" and your soul is very evident in the title of your projects. What's the inspiration behind that?
Well for me, sailing is going with the wind and being free. It's also a play on words, and I love to play with words. On Twitter, I was talking with Chase N. Cache who's a part of Surf Club, and I was trying to say "sell" but I said "sale," and he corrected me. And then we went back and forth and at the end of our conversation I was just playing with that whole theme of words. And then I came up with Sailing Soul(s). I do believe that when I write it's coming from my inner self, my soul. That's my little way of saying I'm being creative, saying that I'm a soul singer and that everything I do is me being a free spirit.
You recently released "Bed Peace," and the single art image is of you and Childish Gambino replicating the iconic photo of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. How does Lennon and Ono's prescription of peace in the 1960s translate to this message that you're trying to convey in "Bed Peace"?
My take on "Bed Peace" is a modern day urban version of their message, which is all about being peaceful. My message is about inner peace and not being so caught up in what's going on in the outside world. Just staying in with your lover or whoever, and just getting more in touch with who you are. I think world peace is always a message that is relevant because there's always so much going on in the world, violence, war, all that. My message is about bringing it into yourself and working on your inner peace so you can be a peaceful person, and there's was more about world peace. It all ties in together.
With so many male artists taking the center stage in the world of R&B like Frank Ocean and Miguel, how does being a female artist allow you to differentiate yourself?
I think as a female artist I can talk about things that relate better to females. So even though a lot of girls listen to Miguel and Frank Ocean, they can't really relate because they're men and they're talking about male topics. But for me, I'm a young mom, I'm a girl with girl feelings, and I'm super honest with what I'm going through. They can truly relate because I'm being honest and I'm not singing other people's feelings or anything like that. I'm really writing my own music, and I think that's why a lot of my fans come up to me and say, "Thank you, you tell my story for me because I went through that same thing you talked about."
What do you think is the most exciting thing happening in music right now?
I think lately I've seen a lot of collaborations that you don't expect. So I'll listen to like a Chance The Rapper and James Blake collaboration, and then Kendrick Lamar did a collaboration with Emeli Sandé. There's just a lot of collaborations from a lot of artists you don't expect, and I think that just shows how music is all coming together no matter what genre. Music is like the language of the soul, so it's exciting to see everyone come together and share their talents and put it out as this new sound.
Looking ahead, what can fans expect on your debut album Souled Out?
Souled Out is really me telling a lot of my story and sharing more of myself and sharing my philosophies on life. Sail Out, which is the EP that's going to be out on November 11, that project is dealing with lighter topics and not digging deep into who I am. I like to say it's bridging the gap between the mixtape that I put out and my album Souled Out. It's the appetizer before the main course. Souled Out is literally my soul on every track. The production, the lyrics, the singing, everything is a few notches up from what people are used to hearing from me.

Well, the Christmas commercials are already popping up on television, so it's time for Christmas books to make their appearance. I love books about the holidays and have my special ones I read every year, but I'm always happy to add new favorites to the collection.
Holly Lane by Toni Blake
Read by Heidi
Sue Ann Simpkins is facing the holiday season with her biggest challenge of her life. Newly divorced and alone from her daughter, Sue Ann decides to escape to a remote cabin near Bear Lake. Solitude and peace is what she is looking for, until Adam Becker opens the door stating the cabin is his. Adam is looking for the same type of solitude but becomes trapped in the cabin during a snowstorm with Sue Ann. Both struggle with their own feelings and past experiences to look at a possibility that a future could happen for the both of them.
I found the whole story an interesting twist of circumstance that leads two lonely people together. I really enjoyed how the characters struggled with their own feelings and keep questioning whether or not it's love or infatuation. Sue Ann is a true example of perseverance under pressure, and I admired that.
Mistletoe Cowboy by Carolyn Brown
Read by Joan
Sage Presley, a young up and coming western artist, is furious when she finds out that her Gran is selling the family ranch to a complete stranger. She drives home in a blinding snowstorm to have a heated discussion with her Gran and talk her out of the sale, arriving at the ranch just before a snowstorm causes the electricity and phone lines to go down and the roads to be closed. Sage discovers that her Gran has gone for three weeks and will not be returning until Christmas. To make matters worse, she finds Gran has allowed handsome cowboy Creed Riley, the prospective buyer, to move in for the three weeks and run the ranch.
This book as it was very fun to read and had the needed components for a good holiday read. Entertaining and I read it straight through. If you love a good story with animals, falling in love and finding a soul mate, then this is a book you should read, especially before Christmas.
What Happens at Christmas by Victoria Alexander
Read by Heidi
Camille, Lady Lydingham has one desire for the holiday. She wants to give Prince Nikolai Pruzinsky a traditional English Christmas. Her entire family has left Milton Manor except for her twin sister Beryl, so she hires an acting crew to play her family and staff. One thing she hasn't counted on is Grayson Elliot coming back after 11 years, when he left with her broken heart. Grayson finds out about the ruse and decides to play along. Even with Camille wanting to marry Nikolai, she realizes her heart has always been with Grayson.
This historical had everything you could want for a holiday: mystery, intrigue, an English Manor, Love and Christmas. You will feel cozy and happy after reading this book. I hope I can read more about this unusual family in future novels.
Together for Christmas by Lisa Plumley
Read by joysann
Casey Jackson views the holiday season with antipathy, so when he's sent to troubleshoot a pop star's TV Christmas special in her Michigan home town, he is dismayed to find the snowbound community all dressed up like Santa's North Pole. The star sets her ordinary sister, Kristen Miller, the task of distracting the agency's "hatchet man" however she can to keep him out of the way, and Kristen realizes she isn't going to have the Merry Christmas for which she had been hoping. But Casey and Kristen discover new reasons to celebrate, giving them both a chance for a happy holiday season, and more.
I found Lisa Plumley's new book very entertaining. The story is humorous, the characters are likable, and the romance is sweet and satisfying. Together for Christmas is a charming and light-hearted contemporary romance that would be perfect for a cold snowy afternoon heading into the holidays.
Last Chance Christmas by Hope Ramsay
Read by Heidi
Lark Chaikin arrives in Last Chance with one goal in mind. To put her father's ashes to rest. But since her father caused such a stir in the tiny town, her goal may not be met. Stone Rhodes is the town sheriff and is trying to keep the peace among the residents who don't want Lark in town, and keep the Christ Church Ladies' Auxiliary from being a pain in their matchmaking. When a murder happens right before Christmas, it seems that Stone, Lark and their families need to not only solve the crime, but heal themselves before it's too late.
This is the second novel I have read about Last Chance and I love this quaint little town!! It's so fun to see the gossip fly through the town faster than a text message! I think what excites me the most is when there is a little mystery and intrigue mixed up with the town secrets as well as love during the holidays. It makes a happy mix to read and get ready for the holiday season, just like hot cocoa on a cold night.
We'll be doing another blog on Christmas books, but feel free to post any Christmas books coming out this year in the comments section. I know the readers appreciate hearing about them.
Bottom Line: It's always the right time to read a book about Christmas.

Basic Information
- Reusing and Donating Electronics
- Recycling Electronics
- Buying Green
- What EPA Is Doing To Encourage Reuse, Recycling, and Greener Purchasing of Electronics
Reusing and Donating Electronics
Preventing waste in the first place is preferable to any waste management option...including recycling. Donating used (but still operating) electronics for reuse extends the lives of valuable products and keeps them out of the waste stream for a longer period of time. Reuse, in addition to being an environmentally preferable alternative, also benefits society. By donating your used electronics, you allow schools, nonprofit organizations, and lower-income families to obtain equipment that they otherwise could not afford. Where Can I Donate or Recycle My Old Computer and Other Electronic Products? lists organizations with information about donating electronic equipment.
Before donating your computer or other electronics, make sure the equipment is reusable. Donation organizations have limited or in many cases no resources and employees to diagnose and repair hardware. A functional, working systemespecially with monitor, wiring, and software licensesis a lot more useful and requires less upgrading than a nonworking, incomplete computer. Check to see what the donation organizations minimum computer requirements are (e.g., Pentium processor, Windows 95). Donation organizations might not accept (or might charge a fee for) older, less useful equipment (e.g., 386 processors, dot matrix printers, less than 14 inch color monitors).
As a business, you might be able to take advantage of tax incentives for computer equipment donations. The 21st Century Classrooms Act encourages large companies to donate computer equipment to public and private schools. When donating equipment to a nonprofit organization, inquire about documentation that can be applied toward your income tax return.
The most appropriate donation organization for computers can vary from area to area. In some cases, the most viable donation organization might be a charity, but in other areas, the appropriate donation organization might be the local school district or materials exchange.
Recycling Electronics
If donation for reuse or repair is not a viable option, households and businesses can send their used electronics for recycling. Recyclers recover more than 100 million pounds of materials from electronics each year. Recycling electronics helps reduce pollution that would be generated while manufacturing a new product and the need to extract valuable and limited virgin resources. It also reduces the energy used in new product manufacturing.
One thousand or more municipalities offer computer and electronics collections as part of household hazardous waste collections, special events, or other arrangements. In addition, public and private organizations have emerged that accept computers and other electronics for recycling. Depending on where you live and the amount of equipment you have, the best recycling option might be a county recycling drop-off center, TV repair shop, charitable organization, electronics recycling company, or even your local electronics retailer, which might collect used products and send them to a recycler. You can learn more about local electronics recyclers and collection events at EIA Environment Consumer Education Initiative .
Many electronics manufacturers are accepting used household electronics for recycling. In some cases, these services are provided free-of-charge. Asset management and recovery programs have been available to major corporations and large purchasers of electronic equipment for quite some time. Now, electronics manufacturers are beginning to offer similar services for households and small businesses. The consumer pays to mail the product back. Fees keep changing, but generally range from seven dollars up. Some manufacturers and retailers are offering free or for-a-fee events in communities.
Buying Green
Environmentally responsible electronics use involves not only proper end-of-life disposition of obsolete equipment, but also purchasing new equipment that has been designed with environmentally preferable attributes. Think about this when purchasing new equipment, and ask your retailer or electronics supplier about environmentally preferable electronics. Households, companies, and governmental organizations can encourage electronics manufacturers to design greener electronics by purchasing computers and other electronics with environmentally preferable attributes and by requesting takeback options at the time of purchase. Look for electronics that:
- Contain fewer toxic constituents.
- Use recycled materials in the new product.
- Are energy efficient (e.g., showing the Energy Star label).
- Are designed for easy upgrading or disassembly.
- Use minimal packaging.
- Offer leasing or takeback options.
- Meet performance criteria showing they are environmentally preferable.
- Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) is a procurement tool to help institutional purchasers in the public and private sectors evaluate, compare and select desktop computers, notebooks and monitors based on their environmental attributes. EPEAT also provides a clear and consistent set of performance criteria for the design of products, and provides an opportunity for manufacturers to secure market recognition for efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its products.
What EPA Is Doing To Encourage Reuse, Recycling, and Greener Purchasing of Electronics
- Sustainable Materials Management Electronics Challenge promotes responsible electronics recycling by original equipment manufacturers and retailers, who commit to increasing the number of electronics they collect, and to send 100 percent of their used electronics to recognized third-party certified recyclers.
- EPAs Product Stewardship supports multistakeholder dialogues, collection pilots, public education, and international cooperation to foster greater awareness and coordination of electronics reuse and recycling issues.
- EPAs Design for the Environment Program works with electronics manufacturers to incorporate environmental considerations into product design.
- EPAs Environmentally Preferable Purchasing Program helps federal agencies purchase environmentally preferable products and services, including electronics.
- Energy Star Program promotes energy-efficient products through its labeling and education program.
- EPAs WasteWise Program challenges its partners to set goals for reducing electronics waste.

We apologize for the crappy video quality, and we'll swap in something better when we get it. But here's a shot somebody took of their TV:

Yep, that's some cock 'n' balls. Notice that the station has a blur-out censor effect, but they're too late on the buzzer. [KCPQ]

Central Asia, with its westward extension into Southwest Asia, is a vast region rich in history, natural resources, and geopolitical importance. The birthplace of many of the ancient world's religions and empires, it was the home to remarkable centers of learning, and the arena of devastating conflicts. Despite its fascinating past and strategic importance, the region is one of the most neglected in the curricula of American colleges and universities. With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the increasing American military involvement in the area, the region's significant strategic importance has reemerged.
The University of Montana has emerged as a national and international leader in recognizing the significance of Central & Southwest Asia, and translating that awareness into a major academic program. The program builds on significant faculty experience and expertise in the region, and includes scholars from numerous UM departments. The center has also organized summer study tours for K-12 teachers to Central Asia, and also hosts annual conferences that bring leading scholars, diplomats, analysts and journalists to the campus.
The University of Montana offers an undergraduate Minor and an undergraduate Major in Central and Southwest Asian Studies. Arabic, Chinese, and Russian language instruction are also offered. Faculty exchanges have been organized with universities in Russia, China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Palestine, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Morocco.

Gallery: Stunning Open Air Library in East Germany Wins the 2011 Brit I...
What began as an assemblage of 1,000 empty beer cartons pulled together by residents in East Germany has now evolved into an incredible open air public library. Designed by Karo Architekten in collaboration with local residents, the grassroots project revitalizes a post-industrial district in Magdeburg, Germany by creating a cultural center and pop-up library where books are free to take and leave 24 hours a day. The project introduces plenty of green space and reuses the facade of an old warehouse to beautiful effect. Opened two summers ago, we're pleased to announce that the library has won Brit Insurance's Architecture Award in their annual Design of the Year competition!
Libraries and book lending are a great green practices insofar as they encourage the use of shared resources and cut down on crates of pressed tree pulp circulating the globe. They're even better when they foster a communal spirit of sharing, as does Magdeburg's new Open Air Library.
The library was built from the ground up with the support and interaction of the surrounding community – first as a 1:1 model made from beer cartons and later as a finished project with the help of Karo Architekten, who incorporated parts of the facade from the city of Hamm's demolished Horten warehouse. During its entire planning and construction period the library accepted book donations, which are now available to borrow any time of day without a membership – simply walk up to a cubby and pull out a tome.
In addition to its book lending facilities the Open Air Library also introduces a burst of green public space to a post-industrial district. The grassy plaza features a reading cafe and a stage that hosts elementary school theater plays, public readings, concerts, and other cultural events.

I agree with David with our current times libraries are a great resource to take advance of. I'm always wanting more ways to spend time out doors, Open Air Libraries are a spectacular idea. The vibe of this building is similar to trope
