All Rise...
Judge Patrick Bromley is under the cherry moon.
Editor's Note
Our review of Bloody Moon, published November 3rd, 2008, is also available.
The Charge
Don't panic…It only happens once in a Bloody Moon.
Opening Statement
I have never seen a film from Spanish director Jess Franco, one of the kings of exploitation cinema. I have long been familiar with his name, but have little interest in the kind of highly sexualized horror films with which he's most associated—movies like Vampyros Lesbos and A Virgin Among the Living Dead (which, if I'm being honest, is a really good title). But I've been watching almost exclusively exploitation movies this month, and the chance to see Franco's often-banned 1981 slasher movie Bloody Moon suddenly sounded appealing. I should have known better.
Facts of the Case
Disfigured Miguel (Alexander Waechter) is released from a mental institution after being sent away for five years for killing a young girl. He reconnects with his sister Manuela (Nadja Gerganoff), who runs Europe's International Youth-Club Boarding School of Languages in Spain (yes, that's the name), and with whom Miguel has an incestuous relationship. When the girls at the Spanish language school start getting killed off, Miguel is the obvious suspect.
The Evidence
Jess Franco's Bloody Moon is perhaps best known for being one of the 72 films on the UK's "Video Nasty" list (it's actually one of the 39 titles successfully prosecuted and never overturned). Having recently sifted through Severin Film's Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide, the pump was primed for exactly this kind of movie. I don't support the banning or prosecution of art in any way, but I can say that even those unable to see Bloody Moon as a result of this judgment aren't missing much.
Even by the standards of sleazy European exploitation, Bloody Moon is a tough slog (and if someone could please explain that nonsensical title to me, that would be great). The plot of the movie is textbook slasher stuff: girls' school students get murdered by mysterious killer. There are a few details that make this one weirder than most, like the presence of scar-faced Miguel and his incestuous relationship with his sister, but there's not enough color to make the movie truly eccentric or interesting. I'll give it credit for having a weird alien quality to it, but that's probably just the result of the mixture of cultures and languages occurring at the center. Here's a German production taking place in Spain and dubbed into English. In fact, the only thing that got me through the movie was the bizarre dubbing, which has characters speak awkward lines of dialogue and rush through them so that they line up to the actors' mouth movements. It is occasionally amusing. Very occasionally.
There are a few graphic but badly-staged kills (including a woman who is stabbed through the breast and another in which a mannequin is beheaded with a buzz saw), though it's hardly worse than what was commonplace for early '80s slashers. That's not the stuff that bothered me. What rubbed me the wrong way was how Franco is clearly too desperate to be shocking and offensive, like when he shows a little boy run over by a car or, worst of all, chops the head off a live snake on camera just to be an a-hole. The camera lingers as the snake's body wriggles around, its disembodied head still moving on the ground. I'm not some crazy snake lover, but it is an ugly, hateful scene. I can deal with fake murder when it's all just bad makeup and special effects, but I draw the line at real animal murder. I'm such a prude.
Severin's Blu-ray of Bloody Moon presents the uncut version of the film in its original widescreen aspect ratio in a full 1080p HD transfer. For a cheap, sleazy movie, it looks pretty good: colors are generally well balanced and the image has been cleaned up, though some scratches and flaws are still visible. There are a few scenes—usually gore sequences—in which it looks like the movie switches to terrible 16mm, but that's a source issue and not a transfer one (some research suggests that the studio's 2008 DVD had the same issue). The 2.0 mono soundtrack is fine, with the ridiculous English dubbing easily audible and well balanced with the music and effects.
Both of the bonus features have been carried over from the 2008 DVD. The first is a nearly 20-minute interview with Jess Franco about the film's production, which I liked a lot more than actual film. There are a few fascinating bits, including one where Franco says Pink Floyd was originally supposed to score the movie. The only other supplement is the movie's original theatrical trailer.
Closing Statement
I do my best to take exploitation movies like Bloody Moon at the level on which they're intended. Most of them are not art, nor are they designed as such. But they have their own unique charms, and as something of a student of these movies I can find plenty to like in even a lesser effort. I find myself unable to like much about Bloody Moon. Badly written and badly crafted, it's the kind of movie that gives exploitation cinema a bad name. Maybe Jess Franco directed a bunch of good movies. This isn't one of them.
The Verdict
No thanks.

I have also seen it influences with some of my plugins like the Related Posts one.While the script is loading it created a msql error in the relate post area till it loads the script,then the error disappears.
Is their anything I can do to fix this problem? or something to speed up the loading time of the product preview script? Im using K2 theme with a premade style,I really need this popup box script since I have seen it increases drastically my amazon affiliate revenue.Any Tips?

When you have a mortgage, there will often be a time where you will have the opportunity to do a mortgage refinance. Refinancing a mortgage involves getting a new mortgage with different terms and conditions while the first mortgage is paid off. For many homeowners, it can be advantageous to refinance their current mortgage, particularly if they are having debt management problems and would like a mortgage with a lower interest rate.
When considering a refinance, it is important to consider the following:
Pay Off Mortgage Sooner: When people get their first mortgage they will often get a long term mortgage because the monthly repayments will be lower. However, over time there may changes in their financial situation and they may want to pay off the mortgage sooner which will reduce the overall interest owed. Refinancing allows homeowners to negotiate for a mortgage with a shorter amortization term.
Consolidate Debt: If you have a lot of debt, refinancing your mortgage to include outstanding debt such as credit card debt to have one loan and one interest rate, Combing outstanding debt a part of the mortgage refinancing makes repayments easier as you only have the one payment and one lower interest rate.
Lower Interest Rate: If you have a fairly high interest rate, it can be very beneficial to negotiate for a mortgage with a lower interest rate. This will reduce your monthly payments. It is always beneficial to get a mortgage with a lower interest rate. It is important to remember that if you refinance your mortgage and get an adjustable rate, the interest rate will depend on market conditions. With this type of mortgage, your payments could increase or decrease. If you have an adjustable rate, you may want to consider refinancing for a fixed interest rate mortgage.
There are a number of ways to get a refinance that works for you. The first thing you should do is improve your financial record. For instance, bring any outstanding debts up-to-date, make sure your credit history is in good standing and there are not errors on your record, and check to make sure the value of your home has not gone down so that you do not owe more money than the actual value of the home. As well, it is well worth shopping around for a good mortgage refinance offer.
When you do your homework, you can often get a better mortgage refinance than your current mortgage. Many online mortgage calculators are designed to calculate the effect of refinancing your mortgage. As well, in today's market, there are some good deals on getting a mortgage with a low interest rate. The best part of mortgage refinancing is that it provides you with a some extra cash. When you refinance for an amount greater than what you owe on your home, you can receive the difference in a cash payment. If the terms and conditions are right, it can be really advantageous to get mortgage refinance.

The latest update from the Essex Weather Centre predicts more snow before the end of the week, with lows of minus five degrees.
Jacqueline Burrell, a forecaster at the Chelmsford-based centre, said this morning: "Very cold conditions persist through the week ahead, with only a slow thaw expected as temperatures will typically only reach a few degrees above freezing by day.
"Overnight, we will see a return of frost and ice as temperatures plummet to lows of minus five degrees Celsius on Wednesday.
"There are hints that milder, Atlantic weather will make a return over the weekend.
"This will likely be preceded with a further spell of snow."

From the Desk of John Hanson, Senior Vice President of Communications at the USO:
"The USO's been long enough to touch the lives of troops and families from World War II though the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We hear stories almost everywhere we go. It's like joining an ongoing conversation friends have over a cup of coffee.
This afternoon someone came to our office to thank us. It seems he was in the neighborhood, visiting a client when he saw our name on the sign outside the building here in Arlington.
He told us he was a young Marine officer in Somalia in the early 1990s. It was awful duty. One day he ran across a small USO canteen on his base. "I was able to get a warm Coke," he said. "Best Coke I ever had."
[caption id="attachment_965" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="A can of Coca-Cola continues to be a part of Troops' lives, as evidenced by this recent bar-b-que at Camp Virginia in Kuwait. "][/caption]
He almost apologized for being a "small donor." I told him there was no such thing, and showed him around the office. We have a large photo of Toby Keith and one of his guitarists entertaining troops at a very remote forward operating base in Afghanistan. "People ask me what Afghanistan is like," I told him. "I steer them to this photo. That's Afghanistan – not very lush, very desolate in places."
"Yeah," he said. "When I was in Somalia you guys sent Garth Brooks. I stayed in back so my Marines could see him. I was more interested in the warm Coke."
It was one of those profoundly simple meetings that illustrated the good our donors cause to happen. Just a passing kindness from one stranger to another stranger in a very strange and remote place that is for most of us a dot on a map we don't pay much attention to."

What do I have to do in Python to figure out which encoding?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In Python 3, all strings are sequences of Unicode characters. There is a
In Python 2, a string may be of type
Just do
One will say
You can handle them separately using
Or do you mean you have a
In that case, try this:
if it raises an exception, the string is not 100% ASCII.
Unicode is not an encoding - to quote Kumar McMillan:
Have a read of McMillan's Unicode In Python, Completely Demystified talk from PyCon 2008, it explains things a lot better than most of the related answers on Stack Overflow.
In python 3.x all strings are sequences of Unicode characters. and doing the isinstance check for str (which means unicode string by default) should suffice.
With regards to python 2.x, Most people seem to be using an if statement that has two checks. one for str and one for unicode.
If you want to check if you have a 'string-like' object all with one statement though, you can do the following:
If your code needs to be compatible with both Python 2 and Python 3, you can't directly use things like
There are some ugly workarounds. An extremely ugly one is to compare the name of the type, instead of comparing the type itself. Here's an example:
An arguably slightly less ugly workaround is to check the Python version number, e.g.:
Those are both unpythonic, and most of the time there's probably a better way.
You could use Universal Encoding Detector, but be aware that it will just give you best guess, not the actual encoding, because it's impossible to know encoding of a string "abc" for example. You will need to get encoding information elsewhere, eg HTTP protocol uses Content-Type header for that.
Note that on Python 3, it's not really fair to say any of:
Even on Python 3, it's not as simple to answer this question as you might imagine.
An obvious way to test for ASCII-compatible strings is by an attempted encode:
The error distinguishes the cases.
In Python 3, there are even some strings that contain invalid Unicode code points:
The same method to distinguish them is used.
This may help someone else, I started out testing for the string type of the variable s, but for my application, it made more sense to simply return s as utf-8. The process calling return_utf, then knows what it is dealing with and can handle the string appropriately. The code is not pristine, but I intend for it to be Python version agnostic without a version test or importing six. Please comment with improvements to the sample code below to help other people.

Analyzing dirty water
New Albany has begun a long-needed analysis of the problems and possible solutions associated with the city's reputation for dirty water.
Bill Mattox, the new head of the Light, Gas and Water Department, is looking into the problem that has plagued city residents for many years.
At a meeting of the Board of Aldermen last week, Mattox said he should have his analysis complete within four to six months, including a list of options to deal with the situation.
Mattox said the rusty-water look that often is present in the city's water is caused by iron and manganese.
City water now is treated for both substances. Much of the problem now surrounds line breaks, Mattox said.
We understand that fixing the problem may be expensive for the city, but not fixing the problem already is expensive for residents. The dirty water contributes to problems with homeowners' washers, dishwashers, ice makers, as well as water lines.
A number of residents have told us their tales of discolored and ruined clothes, as well as expensive water filters.
So far, we have been impressed with Mattox's candidness and business-like approach to the handling of his new job.
We think that keeping residents abreast at each step of the process of the issues involved in improving utility services will help build support for whatever revenue increase may be required to fix them.
We look forward to hearing his analysis of the fixes needed and their cost.

I have an svn repository and I'd like to have it duplicated over multiple machines for availability purpose. By now when my vps goes down, I'm unable to connect to repository and this is very annoying. Easiest (and expansive) solution is to setup two identical machine and make them work like clones. I'd like to know if there are any alternative (involving 2 machines). Ideally I would have two vps in different datacenters, so if one goes down I can rely on the other. Thanks.
I need a mirror both for read and write not only for read.
Svn Repos are berkley-db based

Hey, I'm Bamboohut!
Hi, I am Benedicta, a very active 30 years old girl. I work in Jakarta but try to come back every week-end to Yogyakarta, a city where I was born and that I love. Me and my French husband Julien have a nice house there that we rent on airbnb when we're not there (Julien spends most of his time in Paris, where he runs an antiquarian bookshop and I work in Jakarta when I'm not traveling all across Indonesia for my institution).
We also take care of our former house, a bamboo hut just next door, that you can rent all year long. The hut and our "big house" are both simple, nice, tranquil and full of charm.
My mother, Ibu Nuri, who long runned a youth hostel in Yogya and speaks English, will help you with all you need and a friend of ours, Mbak Yanti, a cook in one of the most famous restaurant of the city, will prepare breakfast for you and clean the house(s) daily.
Once you book one of our two places, you will be in touch with the four of us: myself, probably in Jakarta, Julien, from Paris, and my mother and my friend Yanti, who both stay in Yogya. We hope you will enjoy this slightly remote small paradise as we love it.

Real Estate
Is there a housing bubble where you live? It seems as though housing prices have dropped in many regions, that's for sure. In the past, buyers were forced to engage in bidding wars when trying to purchase a home. Today, it seems there are a dozen houses for each buyer. In fact, the number of houses on the market nationally has gone up by about one million according to recent data from the National Association of Realtors. Jean talks to Money magazine's Steve Gandel for his real estate forecast, as well as his tips for buyers and sellers alike.
Steve's real estate outlook:
Steve's real estate outlook:
- It could be a while before housing gets hot again. To many economists, it's unclear whether prices will plummet, level or go back up. In fact, Steve says only half of economists think prices will go down next year.
- If you own your house, this won't affect you in a large way, unless you bought your house and expect to live in it on a short-term basis.
- Places where economic conditions are quite bad, or where prices have gone up a lot, will be the most affected. For example, San Diego, Las Vegas and much of Florida are expected to take big hits.
- If you live in an area where the job market is decent, you won't have to worry quite as much for the long term.
- Get your own appraiser. You want to know the exact worth of your potential home.
- Know that mortgage brokers are not always on your side. Shop around on your own to get a number of different quotes, then go directly to banks and see what they will offer you.
- Remove yourself from the psychological pull of your own house. People tend to think their homes are worth more than their actual value. According to Steve, it's not that people can't sell their houses—it's that they can't sell them for the price they want.
- Wipe 2005 out of your head, and don't focus on what you could have gotten for the house if you'd sold it last year. All that matters is what it's worth now.
- Be careful with renovations—buyers will likely not pay as much as you put into them. If you have extra money to put into your house, shore up the essentials, like the roof, and update landscaping.
- Remove knickknacks when showing the house to make it seem more spacious.

Abingdon Theatre's The Frugal Repast Begins January 26
"Two impoverished circus performers � unknowingly the subjects of Picasso's�limited edition print � see a copy on display in a Paris gallery. Their outrage�at the great artist's invasion of their privacy (and their personal�desperation) leads them to steal it.

Director Joe Grifasi first helmed The Frugal Repast at the 2004 Eugene�O'Neill Playwrights Conference. His other credits at the O'Neill include The�Importance of Being Orson by Jessica Cooke and The Electric Century by�Andrew Case. As�an actor he has performed on Broadway in Dinner at Eight, The Mystery of� Edwin�Drood, Happy End, The Accidental Death of an Anarchist, and The 1940's Radio�Hour.�

Americal Idol: Joshua Ledet Sends Chills
America Idol: Joshua Ledet Sends Chills
Joshua Ledet proved that he deserves to be one of the top two to compete for the prize of American Idol tonight with his rendition of The Bee Geez "To Love Somebody". Tonight the finalist performed two songs. one from the sixties and British Pop. He sang "Ain't to Proud to Beg" by the Temptations, but it was his rendition of The Bee Geez song that had all the judges on their feet and leaving a look of awe on Jennifer Lopez' face.
Joshua didn't know the song and during a clip of rehearsals earlier in the week, he asked for some time to go away from the room so he could prepare, which made it even more impressive of his delivery. Randy said he was probably one of the best of Idols ever on the show, Jennifer Lopez took it a step forward and said he was probably one of the best performers of the last 50 years, and Steven Tyler said he was probably one of the Top 2 Idols ever! If you like Joshua, remember you have to vote!

Paper money is like dram-drinking, it relieves for a moment by deceitful sensation, but gradually diminishes the natural heat, and leaves the body worse than it found it. Were not this the case, and could money be made of paper at pleasure, every sovereign in Europe would be as rich as he pleased. But the truth is, that it is a bubble and the attempt vanity. Nature has provided the proper materials for money: gold and silver, and any attempt of ours to rival her is ridiculous….
Source: http://www.mises.org/story/2942
Contributed by: peter
Money, when considered as the fruit of many years' industry, as the reward of labor, sweat and toil, as the widow's dowry and children's portion, and as the means of procuring the necessaries and alleviating the afflictions of life, and making old age a scene of rest, has something in it sacred that is not to be sported with, or trusted to the airy bubble of paper currency.
There are a set of men who go about making purchases upon credit, and buying estates they have not wherewithal to pay for; and having done this, their next step is to fill the newspapers with paragraphs of the scarcity of money and the necessity of a paper emission, then to have a legal tender under the pretense of supporting its credit, and when out, to depreciate it as fast as they can, get a deal of it for a little price, and cheat their creditors; and this is the concise history of paper money schemes.
Source: http://mises.org/story/2942
One of the evils of paper money is that it turns the whole country into stock jobbers. The precariousness of its value and the uncertainty of its fate continually operate, night and day, to produce this destructive effect. Having no real value in itself it depends for support upon accident, caprice, and party; and as it is the interest of some to depreciate and of others to raise its value, there is a continual invention going on that destroys the morals of the country.
If anything had or could have a value equal to gold and silver, it would require no tender law; and if it had not that value it ought not to have such a law; and, therefore, all tender laws are tyrannical and unjust and calculated to support fraud and oppression.

As the sky-crane descent-stage hovered over the landing site, lowering the rover Curiosity to the surface of Mars on cables, its thrusters blasted deep enough to give investigators an unexpected chance to look all the way down to bedrock. But the excavation zone is also giving mission planners pause as they consider where Curiosity should start its exploration.
It remains to be seen where the rover will drive first. "We probably aren't going to know for a week or two, until we have completed CAP1B [commissioning phase], and we don't have to make that decision at this point," says John Grotzinger, mission chief scientist.
The choice is boiling down to three main options, the first of which is to study the excavation zone created by the descent thrusters' blast. Grotzinger says the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) team is "concerned about the level of contamination—not just the hydrazine [rocket fuel] and heating, but also the fractured rock. The team has thought about it and we think the first sample ought to be Mars, rather than something we did to alter it."
A second option is an area of interesting morphology some 500 meters (1,640 ft.) to the east of Curiosity, where images indicate the convergence of three separate forms of terrain. This could present a target-rich environment where the fluvial features indicative of an ancient watery past give way to "everything else downstream" says Grotzinger. "We are pretty sure that mantling material is obscuring that, and there's lots of interest in answering that question."
The third option is simply to characterize the landing site and then "get going," he adds. Curiosity's overall transit speed between areas of interest is going to be slow at first, while checks continue and operators become familiar with the rover. However, Grotzinger says that although the rover incorporates better autonomous systems, these are not "quantum" improvements over the Mars Exploration Rovers. "I honestly don't think we will move much faster than Spirit or Opportunity," he says.
The JPL team expects Curiosity to take about one year to navigate through dark-colored active sand dunes and around obstacles to make it to a target area "a few hundred meters up in elevation" on the slopes of the 5.5-km-tall (18,000-ft.) Mount Sharp, according to MSL Deputy Project Scientist Ashwin Vasavada. The rover is expected to drive "something like a football field a day" at top speed, and will "have to find a gap in the dune field to give us safe passage." There will also be "some challenges that will slow us down," Vasavada adds.
And the team scientists will want to stop along the way to explore interesting terrain. "Anytime we characterize something, it's probably a few weeks of activity, because it might mean acquiring a sample, for example," Vasavada says. "[It] takes a few weeks to find a place to get the sample, deploy the arm, acquire the sample and process it in our lab."
Scientists started mapping the terrain inside Gale Crater even before Curiosity landed, using high-resolution data from cameras in orbit around Mars. Dawn Sumner, a science team member from the University of California at Davis, says she and her colleagues divided the target landing and roving area into 1-mi. squares and are inventorying the features in each using the overhead data.
"We'll use this map to find a path from where we landed to the main target at the base of Mount Sharp, which is south of where we landed," she says. "So we'll drive on the northwest side of the dunes and go through a break in the dunes, but on the way we're going to have a lot of interesting geology to look at."
In deciding what to do next, team scientists will try to balance the attraction of a particular feature on the crater floor with the ultimate target, the sedimentary rock on the mountain that will allow Curiosity to sample its way through the planet's history.
The rover's Martian day is divided into battery-powered science and nighttime "sleep" while the radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) recharges the batteries with electricity generated from the heat of decaying plutonium 238. During that time, a group of about 100 scientists and engineers decides what commands to upload to Curiosity for the next day's activity, and then writes, checks and sends as many as 1,000 commands through one of the Mars orbiters or directly to the high-gain antenna on the rover.
"It's a challenging mission to actually do the operations, because we can't joystick the rover because of the time delay and . . . a highly resource-constrained vehicle," says Andy Mishkin, the JPL engineer who heads the operation. "The amount of power that we're getting from the RTG is basically a little more than you might need to power a 100-watt light bulb."
The team's commands must meet "hundreds" of flight rules designed to keep one activity from hampering another or damaging hardware, and to make sure the data load that is generated will fit into the available communications links. The exacting, deadline-driven work is complicated by the need to live on Martian time, where a sol is 40 min. longer than a day on Earth—a requirement some team members describe as permanent jet-lag.

I'm getting the following error message that I need some help troubleshooting:
"Warning: array_keys() [function.array-keys]: The first argument should be an array in ..."
Here is the code that is generating the error message (I put an arrow at the start of the line that is the problem):
global $wpdb, $table_prefix; // set global WP vars needed for script
$order = 'display_name'; // set order for users table query
$user_ids = $wpdb->get_col("SELECT ID FROM $wpdb->users ORDER BY $order"); // query users
foreach($user_ids as $user_id) : // start authors' profile "loop"
$user = get_userdata($user_id); // retrieve author details
$level = $table_prefix . 'user_level'; // set 'user_level' usermeta meta_key record
$user->user_level = $user->$level; // assign 'user_level' property to $users
$role = $table_prefix . 'capabilities'; // set 'role' usermeta table meta_key record
(the following line is the one causing the error)
=> $user->role = array_keys($user->$role); // assign 'role' property to $user
$user->role = $user->role[0]; // make sure $user->role is not an array
This code generates a page that lets me list all the authors with a role of "contributor" and above, so I can display a photo, bio, and link to their posts, etc. The page renders fine except for the warning message at the top of the page, which I'd like to make go away.
All other code & plugins I found prior to this just LIST authors, and don't let me use and format specific data from their metadata.
The code is older, so my first thought is that it refers to WP tables or functions that no longer exist, but I looked at my tables in phpMyAdmin and the seem to be the same as referenced in the code.
Any help would be much appreciated!

The ongoing look at the albums I acquired this year:
Gary Louris, Vagabonds (2008)
Produced by Chris Robinson, whose Black Crowes history gives the album a Southern vibe, this solo record from former Jayhawks member Gary Louris is good overall and occasionally great. "She Only Calls Me on Sundays" is a fantastic country-blues lament, and the album features backing vocals from Robinson, Jenny Lewis, and Susanna Hoffs. You know you want to check it out now.
Tift Merritt, Another Country (2008)
Damn near perfect. I've loved Tift Merritt since Bramble Rose, and her latest album has her continuing on a path that's part alt-country and part midcentury R&B revivalist. Her vocals are beautiful on every track, but "Another Country" is the one most likely to make you pull over while driving just to listen.
The Jayhawks, Live From the Women's Club (2002)
This is Volume 1 of a set of live albums put out by The Jayhawks, and it's fantastic. It's got some of their best songs on here, from "Save It for a Rainy Day" to "A Break in the Clouds," but it also offers a fascinating look into the songwriting process by opening with "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" and closing with a previously unreleased and earlier incarnation of the song called "Someone Will." Great band, great live recording.
Counting Crows, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings (2008)
I'm honor-bound to keep checking in on Counting Crows; I'll never stop loving August & Everything After, and they've put out a lot of good music since then, as well. I honestly expected to like the second half of this concept album more than the first, since morning-after brooding seems more in line with Adam Duritz's m.o. than weekending bar rock. But damn if he didn't change things up and frontload the record with great tracks like "Los Angeles" and "Hanging Tree." Adam, you sneaky dog.
Gin Blossoms, Congratulations I'm Sorry (1996)
I wish I'd had this album when I was 14, and could relay some kind of story of growing up with one of the best pop acts of the 1990s. But aside from a few random tracks, I didn't start collecting Gin Blossoms albums until I was in college. And that's a shame, because this album is a prime example of solid mid-'90s pop-rock. If it hews a little too closely to the pattern set out in New Miserable Experience (right down to the country excursion at the end), it's still an honest and well-written bunch of songs, from the hit singles "Follow You Down" and "Competition Smile" to the beautiful "Not Only Numb" and the upbeat "Highwire." Just a great album all around.
Golden Smog, On Golden Smog (1992)
Golden Smog is one of those bands I like and whose albums I'm slowly collecting just to fill out that part of my catalog; I am anal, and I accept this. This EP of five covers was their first release. Good stuff.
Golden Smog, Blood on the Slacks (2007)
A decent outing from the band, but still, worth it for collecting.
Eytan Mirsky, Was It Something I Said? (2001)
Eytan Mirsky's been on my radar since I heard "(I Just Wanna Be) Your Steve McQueen" in The Tao of Steve, and this album is as wonderful and sad and poppy and just as great as I'd hoped it would be. The songs are all quick and biting and usually cover the same ground — guy loves girl, girl spurns guy, guy shrugs like he knew it was coming all along — but Mirsky is fantastic in the way he can create so many original songs out of the same kind of heartbreak. "Just Another in a Long Long Line" and "All the Things to Do When She Says No" are great, as is "Steve McQueen."
Old 97's, Blame It on Gravity (2008)
The latest release from my favorite working band. I wrote about the album when it was released, and still stand by my love for it. "Here's to the Halcyon" sums up like half of my 20s.
Month: November 2008 (page 1 of 2)
The ongoing look at the albums I acquired this year:
Cornball song called "The Drover's Ballad" — lyrics by Baz Luhrmann, music and vocals by Elton John — performed over the closing credits? You bet your unfortunate ass.
Seriously, not worth it.

Really, at three hours, it's tremendously overlong, and it's not that good. If you're thinking of going, just stay home and watch this instead. It's better:
I knew that Google's archive of Life magazine photos had launched, but I didn't get sucked into it until John posted about it the other day. He warned that visitors to the site should be ready to "lose a few hours," and he was right. The scope and number of searchable images is staggering.
But the thing that strikes me most about the archive is the chance to stumble across a color shot from an era typically remembered in black and white. It's a stirring reminder that these people and places and events that have been transformed into the pop history of the 20th century were real, living things, and looked just like things do now. Everything from film quality to hairstyles has a way of making the past seem otherworldly, but some of the photos in this collection make it feel more real. (One of the best examples of this is seeing a color photo of soldiers in World War II, which has in modern times been rendered in movies has having a kind of permanent burned-out sepia look, something that Steven Spielberg has never quite come out and apologized for.)
Here are some great samples:
The rest of the archive is here.
Today's phrase: "I like my women like I like my coffee…." Here are a few to start:
• "… strong and black."
• "… piping hot and sprinkled with cinnamon."
• "… topped with whipped cream."
• "… they burn going down."
• "… smelling faintly of chai."
• "… full of dirty beans."
• "… with a warning label about the contents."
Fire away.

that's weird that the female character might actually want to be a vampire
and it's so wrong to have vampires who can go out in daylight. CHEATING.
at least sookie has spunk
and on that note, i'm going to dinner
By the time I was old enough to start to appreciate music, my father's tastes had receded to Les Miserables, Handel's Messiah, and selected oldies. (The man loves The Chi-Lites' "Have You Seen Her?" more than you could imagine.) But one of the things he imparted to me in my youth was a healthy respect for Eric Clapton that continues to this day. As is probably wise, I ignore Clapton's regrettable adult pop excursions and stick to his blues, because that's where the man shines. I grew up listening to songs whose lyrical and sonic turmoil were years beyond my comprehension, but that doesn't mean I didn't love them. In recent years, Clapton has gotten a lot of mileage out of turning his older stuff inside out, offering slowed-down, lamenting versions of his blistering classics. And that's okay; the unspoken flip side to "Layla" is indeed one of gentle mourning. But nothing compares to the all-out electric fury of the original.
Anyway: All that to say that sometimes the originals are the best. This cut is from the only studio album put out by Derek and the Dominoes, Clapton's supergroup from the early 1970s. It's sad, and scorching, and downright perfect.
Here's "Bell Bottom Blues":
By The Way, This Is The Second Time Today I've Been Kicked Out Of A Room, And I Go Pleasantly And Without Incident.
As a result of the cutbacks that are being felt at print and online outlets everywhere, I've been cut from my position as a freelance TV columnist at the Willamette Week. I've enjoyed being able to write about the good and bad things I've watched over the past 18 months, but sometimes these things just end.
Also, even though the column has been edited to say "Dallas murder police officer," the original draft just said "Dallas murder police." You know I love the Bunk.
Anyway: Click here for the column.
"Star Trek" and its multiple television and filmic entities have always been completely lame. It's amazing that a fictional universe with so many supposedly warring civilizations hasn't been able to drum up a single interesting conflict aside from the one Nicholas Meyer drummed up for The Wrath of Khan. There are no good villains or epic battles; it's just a lot of people driving around and classifying new planets and avoiding rock monsters. There's not much interpersonal conflict, the action is boring, problems are easily solved, and the only costs ever paid in service to exploration come from nameless red-shirted ensigns.
The series and its inhabitants are interminably dull, and it looks like J.J. Abrams is out to change that. The film aims to be a reboot of the story, a kind of new Genesis that runs parallel to the other works, which is something not usually attempted outside of comic book adaptations. Granted, this is still just a trailer, but it makes me use a word I've never before applied to the franchise: exciting.
Here it is:
Really good. Two things:
1. Freida Pinto? Man alive.
2. A big sloppy kiss — wherever you want it — to the first person who gets the headline reference (I'd say "without cheating," but I always cheat at these things).

Last year, for the first time in my life, I kept track of what albums I bought throughout the year. I loved being able to look back over the previous 12 months and remember what I'd found in a used CD bin or purchased online or had given to me by friends; it's like a really immediate autobiography. Last fall, I wrote:
But music is different. An album has an effect on your growth in a different way than a movie or a TV show, mostly because it's something you listen to several times in order to let it begin to sink in. The best albums become somehow stuck in your car's CD player or become a default choice on your iPod, and you listen to them over and over again. Music is much more of a continued experience, which is why I decided this year to keep track of the albums I acquired in hopes of being able to step back and observe my musical habits and maybe come to some kind of half-assed conclusions about the whole thing in a musical-journey-of-life-minus-the-b.s. sense.
That reasoning still holds. As the year progressed, the music I acquired became fused with the experiences I was having/surviving at the time, and I know I'll have those sense memories with me forever. So without further delay, here's the first installment of this year's list:
San Saba County, Easy Does It (2004)
I found this band by visiting the site for Austin's Waterloo Records, and it was a great buy. I picked this up used at Half.com, since it's not available on the band's site any more, and it's got some pretty good songs.
Will Hoge, Blackbird on a Lonely Wire (2003)
Meh. A friend gave it to me to prepare me for a concert I went to with a larger group. Pretty forgettable. I haven't listened to it since.
Various Artists, Juno (2007)
What can I say, I fell for the hype. There are actually good tracks on here, too, but they're not the Kimya Dawson ones.
That Dog, Retreat From the Sun (1997)
I bought this on the strength of the recommendation it got in a blog post in which I called for reader suggestions for great guitar pop. Solid record.
Willie Nelson, Natural Renegade (c. 2003, but who knows)
This was a total impulse buy when I was browsing Amoeba one day. It's a compilation put out by Starbucks, but it's still a fun album and one of the many, many possible combinations of "greatest hits" you could cull from Willie Nelson's life and career. The titles speak for themselves: "On the Road Again," "Always on My Mind," "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain," "Crazy." Come on. (It also has Willie and Merle Haggard doing "Pancho and Lefty," but I still think no one will ever top Townes van Zandt's original. No one.)
Lyle Lovett, Lyle Lovett (1986)
Some people think of Pontiac as Lyle Lovett's first record, and that's a great one ("If I Had a Boat" alone makes it a classic), but his first album was actually his eponymous debut two years earlier. It's a fantastic group of songs that typifies Lovett's ability to combine country and blues with a singer-songwriter sensibility. The brush-off "God Will" is great for the sharp turn it takes, and "If I Were the Man You Wanted" is every good thing you'd expect from the title.
Emmylou Harris and the Nash Ramblers, At the Ryman (1992)
Amazing album. I've seen Emmylou live a couple times, and it's always wonderful, but this one was recorded back before she started to lose some of the power from her upper register. Her cover of John Fogerty's "Lodi" is a standout, and "Like Strangers" will kick your ass.
The Sis and I were chatting online when, out of nowhere, she unleashed the prompt, "Ok, so saddest songs ever." We then began to list our favorite sad songs, going back and forth until I left work for the night. I tossed out a few off the top of my head and then checked my phone for more suggestions. This is what she and I came up with on the fly:
"Lost Cause," Beck
"Crying," Roy Orbison
"Are You Still in Love With Me?", Tift Merritt
"Hallelujah," Jeff Buckley
"He Stopped Loving Her Today," George Jones
"Houses on the Hill," Whiskeytown
"Martha," Tom Waits
"Winona," "Nothing Lasts," "Your Sweet Voice," "Everything Changes," "I Almost Forgot," Matthew Sweet
"Steven," Denison Witmer
"Far, Far Away," Wilco
"I Should Have Been True," The Mavericks
"Oh My Sweet Carolina," "La Cienega Just Smiled," "September," Ryan Adams
"Please Tell My Brother," Golden Smog
"Salome," Old 97's
"Travelin' Soldier," "Without You," Dixie Chicks
"The Stars Above and My Heart in Your Hands," Christopher Denny (to which I attached the caveat that it's so sad I can only listen to it every couple of months)
"Sweetest Waste of Time," Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," Hank Williams
"Broke, Lovesick, & Driftin'," Hank Williams III
"Always On My Mind," Willie Nelson
"Please Break My Heart," Caitlin Cary and Thad Cockrell
The Sis
"Fred Jones," Ben Folds
"Casimir Pulaski Day," Sufjan Stevens
"The Lonely 1," Wilco
"Your Long Journey," Robert Plant and Allison Krauss
"Mad World," Gary Jules
"The Blower's Daugter," "Amie," Damien Rice
"She's Got You," "Crazy," "Walkin' After Midnight," Patsy Cline
"A Ghost in This House," Allison Krauss and Union Station
And that's just the stuff we came up with while bored at our respective jobs. We didn't have iTunes libraries or stacks of CDs to check. I think we came up with some respectable titles, and I'd like to hear suggestions for more. Any genre, any era. Just hit me with the sadness and we'll come up with the best damn wrist-cutting, whisky-sipping playlist anyone's ever seen.
Fire away.
Cake is one of those bands that I like but always forget about. I'll drift away and then a few months later stumble across them in my iPod and remember they've got some fantastic songs that I still really enjoy, especially this one, which has been in my possession since the days of Napster.
Here's "Never There":
Really funny, and ultimately sweet.

Hi fellas. My blog http://www.goblogger.net is 1.5 month old, pretty new. I'm looking for other new blogs as buddies and create a small network of new blogs to grow together.
Why? Because those with new blogs often feel discouraged seeing big and successful blogs out there. Their traffic is great, their designs are visually stunning, and they make money real good. New blogs seem small and unworthy in front of them, like having no ability and chance to compete.
This network is like a lost kid meeting other lost kids trying to find their way around a big zoo. It is much better than being lost alone.
You can read more info about this network here. But basically, it involves link exchange and readership exchange. But it's not just a link exchange, it's more.
If you're an active blogger and serious about growing your new blog, we can grow together. Feel free to contact me.
Cheers :D

A Bossier City toddler has died after being found in the pool of her family home.
The Times reports (http://bit.ly/PA75kz ) police responded to a call around 1 p.m. Wednesday.
Police say the mother, realizing the 13-month-old girl was not in the house, searched for her outside. That's when she found her child in the pool.
The mother then called 911 and started CPR. When firefighters arrived, continued CPR and then took the infant to Willis-Knighton Bossier Health Center, where she was pronounced dead.
Police say the name of the mother and child will not be released.

I'm sure Elton John would have uses for a firm grip and strong pull, yes. Plus it must be useful when grabbing bargains from Lady Gaga et al at the crazy clothes outlet.

MF rounds up the latest trail shoes
Set the pace on rugged terrain with these off-road running shoes.
1. Berghaus Prognosis GTX
With the UK's inclement weather in mind this shoe is lined with an internal Gore-Tex layer to help you handle nasty downpours. The Vibram outsole will also stand up to slippy conditions, providing excellent traction thanks to deep arrowhead lugs. Yet for all the waterproofing efforts, the shoe can't guarantee your feet will stay dry when splashing through puddles, which is a bit of a problem when you have to pound through the kind streams you'll find on a lot of trails.

2. Mizuno Wave Ascend 6
The aptly-named Wave Ascend is ideal for those who enjoy uphill struggles. The shoe is flexible, aiding strong forefoot grip on ascents as you land and spring off. It's lightweight enough for fast runs and an impressive grip allows you to handle rocky, debris-strewn technical trails. To reduce weight, the outsole has had the cushioning stripped away around the heel which means that on downhill sections, where planting the heel first is almost unavoidable, heavy impact can lead to soreness.

3. The North Face Hedgehog GTX XCR III
The heel of this robust trail shoe has cradle support for a secure fit that minimises rubbing. It also features a snake plate for added forefoot protection and a tough, grippy Vibram outsole. Where it lets itself down is on the weight front – it's by far the heaviest shoe here, which will hamper your speed.
