In Japanese helmer Hitoshi Ohne's de facto musical "Love Strikes!," a 30-year-old nerd with a job at a trendy online fanzine, his every humiliating passing thought blurted out in voiceover, experiences a painful late adolescence before briefly, inexplicably becoming irresistible to women. Though a full-scale, over-the-top production number kicks off the action, it's the subsequent off-key karaoke sessions, during which the shy protag belts out love's angst, that make the picture a musical by default. A domestic megahit based on a popular manga and TV show, the generally engaging pic may prove too culturally specific for wider appeal.
Yukiyo Fujimoto (Mirai Moriyama), who covers music fests for the fanzine, is the staff's resident virgin and butt of all jokes. Tweeting every self-pitying second to an indifferent world, Yukiyo is astounded when a certain Matsuo tweets him back, and a dialogue soon flows both ways. Yukiyo sets up a face-to-face meeting with the guy behind the Matsuo avatar, only to find himself confronted by an adorable girl, Miyuki (Masami Nagasawa, winner of a Japanese Academy Award for her work here), who seems to relate to him in all his unadulterated dorkiness. Unfortunately for Yukiyo, the eminently lovable Miyuki already has a boyfriend, a married musicfest promoter, and most of Yukiyo's horny overtures are not even perceived as such by Miyuki. Miyuki brings along a girlfriend, Rumiko (Kumiko Aso), who falls for Yukiyo; her unrequited affection and companionship during karaoke sessions (complete with sing-along Japanese lyrics) place Yukiyo in the unenviable position of administering to Rumiko the same humiliation he passively accepts from Miyuki. Indeed, it's remarkable that Moriyama succeeds in infusing Yukiyowith so much likability, given the character's pathetic desperation and the film's unrelentingly sardonic tone toward him. Thesping, in fact, is spot-on throughout; Nagasawa's Miyuki is never overly cutesy or disingenuous, and Aso makes Rumiko a worthy feminine foil to Moriyama's self-centered nerd. The film's musicfest finale conjures new levels of hysteria, a frenetic sampling of onstage musical acts and even a measure of maturity.Love Strikes!

About Seattle University's
School of Theology and Ministry
Our global community is changing at an incredible rate, affecting everyday life more and more. These movements challenge the status quo for churches, synagogues and mosques; small businesses, startups and corporations; community centers, agencies, schools and universities—every corner of our shared life. That's why leadership development is the core of each of our degree's curriculum. Our evolving world calls for risk-taking individuals that lead with the whole community in mind, especially as the community grows and changes. Bold leadership isn't easy, and it's hard to learn. Our faculty love teaching for that reason. They find no greater joy than watching students dig deep into their potential and experience life in a new way.
Choosing to live contemplatively is also bold. In a world where our eyes see thousands of messages every day—pulling us to consume products, to join affinity groups, and to subscribe to certain values—it takes dedication and commitment to interrupt the noise. Our graduates emerge as "contemplatives in action"—valuing a way of being in the world that is rooted in spirituality. Some sit across from clients in therapy with unique attentiveness that is fostered through holistic self-care. Others lead churches and nonprofits with a humble sensitivity to the needs and attributes of clients and community members. They take time for personal deep reading of sacred texts and spiritual direction while being quick to laugh and celebrate. And still others are in the trenches of social service, working to end homelessness, breaking down racial barriers, or mentoring young people in their quest for identity.
This work is too important to do alone. That's why the school has invested (from the very start) in relationships with individuals and communities that are seeking to do this together with us.
We invite you to be a part of this exciting work at this important time in history. Inquire about our degrees, refer a student, or participate as a community partner. Let's work toward a more just, sustainable and compassionate world together.

Solutions is the Volkswagen Personal Contract Plan, designed to help you keep all your options open.
You pay a deposit and fixed monthly payments over an agreed term then, at the end of your contract, you can either:
*Subject to mileage and Volkswagen Fair Wear and Tear guidelines.
Hire Purchase enables you to purchase your Volkswagen, without getting weighed down with a hefty payment up front. Instead, you pay a deposit and fixed monthly payments over an agreed term.
When you make your final payment (including option-to-purchase fee) at the end of the contract, the car is all yours.
A lease purchase agreement enables you to purchase your Volkswagen, but keeps monthly payments lower, by deferring some of the loan to the end of the agreement.
When you make your final payment (the proportion of your loan and option-to-purchase fee) at the end of the contract, the car is all yours to keep or part exchange.
Alternatively, you can apply to re-finance the final payment (spreading the final lump sum cost over an agreed term with monthly payments) subject to your status and satisfactory payment history.
Finance Lease is a rental agreement where you can choose to pay the entire cost over an agreed lease period or you can opt to pay lower monthly rental payments with a final rental payment at the end of the agreement.
Finance Lease customers do not have the option to own the vehicle at the end of the contract period.
The two different Finance Lease rental plans are:
Contract Hire is a straightforward hire agreement that does not have an option to own the vehicle at the end of the contract period. It is available for both personal and business customers.
You make fixed monthly payments (plus VAT) throughout the term of your agreement, then simply hand the vehicle back at the end of the contract.*
You will need to start thinking about ordering your next vehicle at least 6 months before the end of your current agreement to ensure you are not left without a vehicle.

Here's What We're Reading: Wednesday News Roundup
Here are some headlines from the working families' news we're reading today (after the jump).
Here are some headlines from the working families' news we're reading today (after the jump).
Middle-class incomes in Michigan fell between 1979 and 2007, even though the state's overall economy grew. A new study from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) shows that over the past three decades, Michigan's middle-class workers did worse than middle-class U.S. workers in general because collective bargaining had eroded more in Michigan than in the rest of the country.
When you are at the very top, the middle must look higher than it really is, at least according to Mitt Romney's latest financial optical illusion. In an interview today on ABC's "Good Morning America," host George Stephanopoulos asked Romney how he would define middle-class income. "Is $100,000 middle income?'' Stephanopoulos asked. Romney replied:
No, middle income is $200,000 to $250,000 and less.
Several new economic reports out in time for Labor Day point to long-term trends that are driving a declining standard of living for America's middle- and low-income workers. Here's a quick summary (click on chart to expand).
How would you like a 100 percent boost in wages?
If you're in the top 1/1000th of the U.S. income earners, you already got one. Since 1980, a household making $1.5 million in 2010 has received a pay increase of more than 100 percent, after adjusting for inflation, according to New York Times reporter David Leonhardt (click on chart at left to expand).
Leonhardt points to inequality and a long-term slowdown in the economy as behind the nation's current woes. This economic slowdown began after the 2001 recession, which never had a strong recovery.
In the past generation, the rich did get richer and the poor did get poorer, according to a new report from the Pew Center on the States. Project manager Erin Currier of Pew's Economic Mobility Project says the report, "Pursuing the American Dream: Economic Mobility Across Generations,"
calls into question the quality of the opportunity Americans believe exists in the United States.
This is a cross-post from Huffington Post by Stan Sorscher, labor representative for the Society of Professional Engineering Employees in Aerospace/IFPTE Local 2001 (SPEEA/IFPTE).
A CEO, a Tea Party member and public employee sit at a table with 12 cookies on a plate. The CEO grabs 11 cookies and tells the Tea Party member, "You better watch him. He wants your cookie."
The CEO took 11 out of 12 cookies. This isn't a question of what's fair. The CEO has the economic power to take 11 cookies—and he does.
The median net worth of white households is 20 times greater than that of black households and 18 times greater than that of Latino households, according to a new study by the Pew Research Center, which attributes the increase to the decline in the housing market and the ensuing recession. From 2005 to 2009, inflation-adjusted median wealth fell by 66 percent among Latino households and 53 percent among black households, compared with just 16 percent among white households.
Just in time for April 15, new data shows that since 1979, the nation's overall average tax rate—the share of income paid in taxes—has fallen slightly, but for those at the top of the earnings ladder, this share has fallen dramatically. The analysis by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) also points out:
At the same time that the tax burden has shifted away from the wealthy, this same top income group has enjoyed massively disproportionate income gains. Between 1992 and 2007, a time in which income for the average household and top one percent grew 13 percent and 123 percent, respectively, the income for the top 400 households grew fully 399 percent.
The richest 5 percent in the United States now own 65 percent of the nation's wealth—making the wealth gap even more unequal here than the already gaping income gap. A new report by the Economic Policy Institute (EPI) cites foreclosures and falling housing values as contributing to the devastation of the net worth—the wealth—of millions of U.S. households.

Am I My Husband?
Male Science Professor: Your husband is also a PHYSICAL SCIENTIST [names general field].
Me: Yes, that's right. He works on X and Y.
MSP: I don't know about that work, but I do know his work on A and B and C [insert accurate description of my research topics].
Me: I work on the things you just listed. My husband's name is [insert different last name from mine]. Are you sure you are referring to his work?
MSP: I have never heard of him. The person I am thinking of has the same last name as you.
Me: Maybe you are referring to me then. You just described my research topics.
MSP: Oh no, I am sure the person with the same name as you is a man. His work is very well known and he publishes a lot. When I heard your name, I thought it must be your husband.
Epilogue: Someone else assured him that the 'man' with my last name is me. He was surprised but seemed to take the news well.
Did I just change his view of Scientists, or was this just another strange little episode?

Wow. Insisted the author was a man after you'd said you're husband's name was different and those were your research topics. Is he from a country where there are even fewer woman in your field than the US? Did he seem embarassed after being assured you were the author he was referring to? Wow.

That is horrible! It reminds me of a similarly bizarre but much less upsetting incident I had at the grocery a few weeks ago. My husband and I had ridden a distinctive tandem bike there, and a man stopped to talk to us about it (actually, he mostly talked to my husband). He wanted to know if my husband knew the other guy with a similar bike that's not a tandem.
Husband: That might be me, sometimes I ride a different bike.
Odd man: No, his bike is really odd [describes bike].
Husband: That sounds like us, that's how our other bikes are.
Odd man: He has his wife or girlfriend with him.
Me: Yep, that's us.
Odd man: No, he rides down [the street we take to work].
Husband: Yeah, we like that route . . .
Finally, the odd man seems to get it. But he still seems to think that, whether I am on the front of the tandem steering us both, or actually providing my power independently from my husband by riding my own bike, I am just being carted along by my husband, who is apparently in charge and has real places to go and things to do. - 7/02/2007 09:36:00 AM

I have to say that I doubt this guy is really going to change his attitude; he may just decide you're an exception to the general rule. Which is, of course, that only men are real scientists.
When I was fresh out of med school I had "M.D." placed on my checks after my name. So our checks had "Clearly Male Name" on the top line and "Clearly Female Name, M.D." on the second. One person looked at that and said "oh, your husband's a doctor". - 7/02/2007 12:21:00 PM
wow. I have made the mistake of assuming the gender of researchers incorrectly before, so that is not so strange to me. Some English first names are gender neutral, and many don't have a clear gender to non-English speakers. But his insistence that it had to be a man was weird! Still, it is good that he took it in stride; it probably means that however biased his assumptions may be, he is not bigotted beyond repair.
- Bee said...
That's quite an impressive amount of ignorance - insisting that that work has been done by a man without even considering it might be wrong!
A funny episode I had lately: Was at my dentists, and with me in the waiting room, sitting opposite to me there was a distinguished looking man, late 50ies, wearing suit and tie etc. So that women comes in with the files and reads out my name with the Dr. title (my dentist put it there as a joke because I visited him the day of my defense and was really nervous about it). While doing so, she's standing with the back to me, addressing the man in the suit who doesn't even look up from what he's reading. She repeats two more times 'Dr. Soandso, please' and is completely suprised when I stand up and say, yes that's me.

i'll have to agree with the previous anonymous person wrote, as well as add that we've all on one occasion or another assumed something that was incorrect, and at times you feel silly- so you don't want to admit the mis assumption right away.
at least you were praised for your work. :) - 7/02/2007 01:05:00 PM
on a more positive note.....
I have a three year old daughter. Her pediatrician and dentist are both women. One night we had to take her in after hours for an ear infection or something, and another doctor from the practice was on call. As we were leaving, she said. "Mommy, who was that man?". I said "That was Dr. Smith." She looked at me kind of perplxed and said, "A boy doctor?!" - 7/02/2007 01:27:00 PM

Lol, I find it interesting that their still is chauvinism in this world, now that's funny!
What was he, like 98,lol? I bet that feels a bit insulting. You could've said, "Hmm, well, I thought you were a woman by looking at your work", but that would probably be mean,lol. - 7/02/2007 05:37:00 PM
- Todd's Stories said...
Geez, that's funny, like a woman can't be a scientist,lol? Seriously, is the man like 98 or something? Who thinks like that these days,lol?
You could've said, "Well, by your work I thought you were a woman", but that probably would be too cruel,lol. - 7/02/2007 05:41:00 PM

My advisor has a feminine name and many people are surprised to find he's a man. It's one of those names that CAN be a man's name, but is more frequently a woman's name.
So this sort of thing can happen the other way, but I doubt than anyone insists that he's a woman. - 7/02/2007 06:35:00 PM
I have a related story about a professor in my department named Jane Smith. A male graduate student in a related department, upon hearing people refer to her by her full name, assumed she was a man by the last name of Janesmith, and was surprised to discover she was a woman. I think the most frustrating part of this is that he was a graduate student -- so much for the younger generation being more enlightened.
I was recently told by someone at a company where I have submitted my resume that they haven't hired any women (i.e. me) because they are concerned that the male employees will sexually harrass them. This is a professional jet pilot position for which I have years of experience, mind you.
Isn't it refreshing to know that they're looking out for my best interests? - 7/03/2007 02:44:00 PM

Reminds me of the Scrubs episode where Elliot has the janitor play "doctor" for her when her patient insists he has to have a male doctor and she pretends she's the nurse.
I think I know who your advisor is. I made the same mistake in thinking that he was female. Eventually when I looked on the group website I realized that someone must have used that old male name for its true purpose like people did 100 years ago.
I was reminded of it when I saw him just a while ago. That guy is huge and he has an intimidating manner of speaking before seminars. And definitely non feminine. I would not insist that his work was done by someone else if he was bearing down on me with that intense look.
Now if I figured out who lhuffman is from just that comment (although I am in the same exact subfield probably), that means FSP should not give out personal information like the anonymous commenter wants her to do in the previous post. - 7/04/2007 05:34:00 PM

You mentioned the MSP was not a US scientist. I would guess (and you obviously would know the answer to this) that he is from a country where there is still a considerable amount of chauvinism (i.e. moreso than here). Still, it highlights a problem we, as a discipline, have been grappling with for decades: how do we increase the number of minorities in the physical sciences? In my own field, at least, there are (perhaps slowly) an increasing number of women judging solely by my unscientific observations at conferences. Lagging even further behind, in my opinion (and it is simply that), is the presence of African-Americans in the physical sciences. How do we change that?
- Ms.PhD said...
I'm with average professor- this story is soooo typical, and it's really funny in a very black humor kind of way.
Hey, at least he likes your work! You should take it as the highest of compliments!
I do find it odd that he wasn't the slightest bit embarrassed by his mistake.
A game I like to play whenever I'm reading is to try to guess from the writing whether the author is male or female. I'm probably wrong about half the time! - 7/05/2007 11:49:00 PM
Be careful about using terms like "physical sciences". You have compromised your anonymity slightly by doing so, by way of largely eliminating the possibility that you are a physicist. To physicists, rightly or wrongly, there is only one physical science, and they're in it ;-)
- Ms.Sunshine said...
Well, this story yet again proves that despite all that objective scientific evidence that has accumulated through the decades that women have the same scientific abilities as men is nothing against prejudice. Btw, in relation to this, in this week New Scientists there is an article about gender inequality in sciences. In it, a scientists who used to be a female but overwent gender change surgery tell the story how shortly after her changing her sex to man she/he overheard his colleagues talking how good is his science compared to his sisters....
- Flicka Mawa said...
I can see chuckling after the "MSP: I don't know about that work, but I do know his work on A and B and C" line, but after his next statement I'm feeling a little awed by his ignorance. At his last statement, I completely drop my jaw and stare. Wow.

text: David Arquette Now Says He Was Joking About 'Nervous Breakdown' A day after David Arquette said he thought he was having a 'nervous breakdown' following his split from Courteney Cox, he 39-year-old now says he was only joking. "It is being reported that I'm having a Nervous Breakdown. I assure you am not. This stemmed from a joke I made on The Howard Stern Show and like many things in the Media it was mis-reported and sensationalized," Arquette said on Twitter. As for admitting that he's "been drinking a lot" and still 'pines' for Courteney, he said he's not going to make any apologies. "I always speak my mind and I really don't care what people that don't know me may say - I'm a good person with a huge heart," Arquette complimented himself. "I thank those that have been on my side during this rough time. What I do wish is that we all become more focused on the more important things in this world like ending the War in Afghanistan and getting our brave men and women back to their families and out of harms way." "It's time for us to focus on love and positivity in our world so that we can cultivate a culture of caring and creativity." Of course, what better place to talk about the war in Afghanistan than Howard Stern's radio show... right David?

pork cushion meat???
I bought a pkg. of pork cushion meat at the warehouse store. I asked the butcher what it was and he said it was from the shoulder area. I looked it up, and it is the tricep area on a pig. Okaayyyy. I looked for some recipes and cooking tips. Braising is recommended. So, I seared it, seasoned it and now it is in the oven, slow-roasting for dinner.

Integrating RFIDs and Smart Objects into a Unified Internet of Things Architecture
The term Internet of Things refers to the networked interconnection of objects of diverse nature, such as electronic devices, sensors, but also physical objects and beings as well as virtual data and environments. Although the basic concept of the Internet of Things sounds simple, its application is difficult and, so far, the respective existing architectural models are rather monolithic and are dominated by several limitations. The paper introduces a generic Internet of Things architecture trying to resolve the existing restrictions of current architectural models by integrating both RFID and smart object-based infrastructures, while also exploring a third parameter, i.e. the social potentialities of the Internet of Things building blocks towards shaping the "Social Internet of Things".

The 38-year-old actress - who has three movies, 'Young Adult', 'Snow White and The Huntsman' and 'Prometheus', set for release in the coming months - loves using her time off work to rest, as well as fitting in entertaining friends and seeing the world.
Asked how she spends her time off, she said: "It just depends, like now, if I have a moment, I sleep. I'm so desperate for sleep.
"I like the same things other people like. If I have a chunk of time, I love to travel. I really take advantage of that, pack the suitcase and go somewhere I've always wanted to go to get some culture.
"Or sometimes just making a bowl of pasta and inviting 10 people over and staying round the table until 3am drinking red wine and having great conversation."
The Oscar-winning actress is also a big fan of watching movies.
In an interview with Total Film magazine, she added: "I love watching movies. I haven't been able to watch a lot of movies recently and I can't wait to go home and have the screeners come in and just couch up."

The noon day gun
Last week we walked up the slopes of Signal Hill above the Bo Kaap, through a dusty garden belonging to the Noon Day Gun Tea Room and through an open but warning gate in a no-nonsense razor wired fence, to see where the noon day gun is fired every day.
It was long past noon, but I had never seen the gun and imagined a solitary affair and someone in uniform standing to attention, through all weathers.
It was a very odd place, with a funny feeling. Dry, dry, dry, dust-packed, with many hacked and blue-painted agave stumps, bar the two survivors framing the stadium, many covered guns pointing at the harbour below, and the two in-use guns, dating back to the eighteenth century, surrounded by deserted colonial-era buildings and bunkers, a flock of creaking guinea fowl and a wonderful view.
I got very hot. The sun struck my head like a gong (who wrote that?). Later I blew a gasket round the corner from the Atlas Trading Company - I could actually feel it happening. I sent heat-resistent Vince to take pictures of the Bo Kaap and sat in the car with the air the conditioning blowing full blast and the reflective silver screen on the dashboard, gonging the sun back at itself. Then my gasket felt better. I went into the spice shop, browsed, allowed my hair to become perfumed with cloves and cardamom and left again.
There is something about the noon day gun enclave.
Below it is the tea room, through whose dust bowl garden (it has been hot, water is expensive) we climbed. That part was quite human, and I would like to eat at the tea room where one can apparently find a good biryani. On our way down we met a Muslim man walking down, too, cradling a wilted orchid in a plastic pot. I think it is his garden. The lemon tree in it had been watered.
But I digress.
And must end there, since I cannot put my finger on it.

There is something weirdly depressing about that spot, the stunning view notwithstanding. The heat is gasket-blowing. Atlas Trading - India smells like that and the process of payment (many processes in one) is the Indian way, many layers of careful paperwork learned during the British Raj. I hope it cools down for you soon!

Contaminated fruits and vegetables are more common than ever. Why? And what can consumers do to protect themselves?
Jorge M. Fonseca, Sadhana Ravishankar
News of E. coli-tainted produce has blared from the headlines in recent years, leading to widespread concern about the safety of consuming raw fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately, the public-health debate often neglects the science behind the outbreaks. What are the real risks involved? Some answers come from authors Jorge M. Fonseca and Sadhana Ravishankar, specialists in the field of microbiological crop-safety research. They detail the recent spate of illnesses caused by produce-borne pathogens and reveal that there's no single source of contamination that explains them all—sanitation can break down during growth, harvest, washing, storage, transport or display of fruits and vegetables. The authors conclude with a discussion of best practices from the field to the table, and they describe new research into postharvest treatments that may minimize consumer risk in the near future.

The other day, I came home to find the air conditioning running. No surprise, since I had turned it on.
When I'd flipped the switch several days earlier, it'd been a hot day. Since then, the air cooled, so we opened windows to let breezes blow through the house.
Then I came home to find that our next check to Tupelo Water & Light will include money that had flown out the window.
That's life, and we've certainly wasted Morris family cash in worse ways.
We've resolved to be more careful, because we're going to keep the windows open for as long as possible.
The same goes for my car windows. Deep down, I know it's wrong to run air conditioning in April, when open windows are a gift from the heavens.
Unfortunately, I've been weak this year, and guiltily turned on the A/C in the car during a few hotter than normal days.
I almost never did that in my teens and 20s. If the wind wasn't enough to cool me down in spring, I didn't deserve to be cooled down.
In my defense, I'm carrying around more insulation now.
In addition, I've got a family, and they have different internal thermostat settings than I.
My kids weren't impressed at all when I told them about the summer I went without air conditioning at home or in my car.
They had no use for my story of personal triumph, but they're kids – what do they know?
During my second newspaper job, I worked for the South Alabamian in Jackson, Ala. The air conditioning went out in my Bronco II that summer.
I decided to save money and tough it out at home, as well. The windows stayed open, and a box fan kept air blowing.
There were a lot of less-than-hot showers when I came home after a couple of hours at the tennis courts, and visitors didn't hang around the apartment much.
On the flip side, I've never felt healthier than that summer.
In July, a single-engine plane crashed in a pine forest. I went with emergency crews to find the wreckage.
It was a terrible sight. The twisted bodies could've belonged to my dearest friends and I wouldn't have recognized them.
Against that gruesome backdrop, I experienced an odd sense of true joy. We hiked through pine woods until rescue squad members needed a rescue squad. The heat and effort left many sweat-stained and begging for air.
As for me, I felt like I could've gone for days.
Fast forward more years than I care to count, and I sure couldn't go for days now. But every so often I get a twinge to repeat my experiment during a Mississippi summer.
That's why I owe a big "thank you" to my wife and kids, who would never allow such folly on their watch.
But windows will stay down at home and on the road for a few more days, at least.

SAN DIEGO --Children living close to a major road are significantly more likely to have asthma than children who live farther away, according to a study presented today at the American Thoracic Society International Conference on May 23.
The study found that children living within 75 meters (about 82 yards) of a major road had an almost 50 percent greater risk of having had asthma symptoms in the past year than were children who lived more than 300 meters (about 328 yards) away.
"These findings are consistent with an emerging body of evidence that local traffic around homes and schools may be causing an increase in asthma," said lead author Rob McConnell, M.D., associate professor of preventive medicine at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California. "This is a potentially important public health problem because there are many children who live near major roads."
The study included more than 5,000 5- and 6-year-old children living in Southern California, who were part of the Children's Health Study. The researchers determined how far each participating child lived from a major road: a freeway, large highway or a feeder road to a highway or freeway.
"The next step will be to verify these results with actual measurements of pollution around the homes near and distant from major roads, and to see if children who live in areas with heavy traffic develop asthma as we follow them," McConnell said.
McConnell noted that California has passed a law that prohibits building any new school within 500 feet of a freeway or busy highway.
"If we establish that children's asthma is linked with heavy traffic, then it's likely to be a long-term and expensive proposition to begin to design cities to separate transportation corridors from where children live, go to school, and engage in outdoor exercise," he said.
The Children's Health Study is supported by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, and the Hastings Foundation.

Patriot Javelin S4 Media Storage Server Review

Close up of the Patriot Javelin S4 Media Server
The unit itself is 6″W (15.24cm) x 7″H (17.78cm) x 9″D (22.86cm) and made of shiny white ABS with rubberized feet. There are 5 tri-color status LEDs and 5 activity LEDs on the right side of the unit. One pair for each of the four bays and the last pair for the overall system. The status LED let you see at a glance the health of the unit either by the blinking activity of the drives and the network or by the color coding. A Red drive status LED means the drive has failed where a red system status means more serious fan, system, or power supply has failed. Amber disk status LED means the system is rebuilding that drive so performance might be degraded while amber system LED means there is a problem with the system, fan, or power supply. Finally, the blue LED status means everything is working fine for either the drives or the system.
The front has a nice press to open front door with tiny perforations to allow air flow through to the back across the hot drives. This door can lock with the included metal key but a small screwdriver can turn the lock so it is more to prevent accidental access than real security.
The back of the unit has the 80cm smartpower fan (automatically changes speed base on thermal load), a port to plug in the power cord (hooray for integrated PSU so no power brick!), the power button, two USB 2.0 ports, eSATA port, Gigabit Ethernet port, and a recessed reset button.
Behind the door you can see the four guides for the included HDD carriers and the combo SATA power and data connectors in the very back. These carriers make installing and removing drives a snap by easily gliding in and out of the enclosure.
Just be aware that the Patriot Javelin S4 only supports SATA II (3Gbit/s) so spending the extra cash on SATA III (6 Gbit/s) drives will not provide you with any performance benefit. This really is not an issue because currently there is no spindle based mechanical HDD's that can saturate a SATA II connection. Even the mighty
VelociRaptor 600
tops out at 334 MB/s or 2.6 Gbp/s and those are not ideal drives for a NAS system due to low capacity and high heat.
In case you are wondering how Patriot came up with such a robust unit so quickly, well my eyes tell me it appears that the Javelin is actually the Promise Technologies Inc. SmartStor NS4600 in white with Patriot branding and a slightly lower price point. Don't get me wrong, this is not a bad thing as Promise Technologies has been in the RAID business for years and the NS4600 is a fantastic unit. It is actually one I was considering on my short list so reviewing the Javelin is a bit ironic.

Kicking off the new year the right way, U.S. small businesses added 20,000 new jobs in January, equating to a 0.11 percent increase from December, according to Intuit's Small Business Employment and Revenue Indexes. Construction, a strong indicator of the health of U.S. small businesses, was the only industry to see revenues increase in December.
"The small business employment recovery has resumed," remarked Susan Woodward, the economist who worked with us to create the indexes.
The number of small business jobs currently stands at a little over 19.9 million, which is still well below the pre-recession level of 21.2 million jobs in March 2007, but the silver lining is that the rate of small business employment has continued its climb after the slight drop seen between April and September 2012.
The average monthly wage in January 2013 was $2,676, a decrease of $6 from December, compared to the increase of $13 that was seen from November to December. At a national level, average compensation per employee fell in all U.S. census divisions. Average monthly hours worked decreased by 0.9 percent, or almost one hour, compared to the increase of five minutes seen last month. Small business employees worked an average of 105.1 hours in all of January, equating to a 24.3-hour workweek.
A Regional Glance
Among the 33 states tracked by Intuit's Small Business Employment Index, 11 showed employment increases, two remained flat, and 20 showed decreases. Utah and Nevada saw the largest increases, while Michigan and Indiana saw the greatest declines.
The employment index is based on data from approximately 170,000 small businesses using Intuit Online Payroll and QuickBooks Online Payroll, as well as Bureau of Labor Statistics reports.
Revenue Remarks
Small business revenues declined for the tenth consecutive month in December, according to the latest edition of the Intuit Small Business Employment and Revenue Indexes.
Overall, small businesses saw a 0.4 percent revenue decline on a per business basis in December. Construction was the sole industry to see an increase, at 0.3 percent. The real estate and retail industries saw the biggest drop-offs, at 0.8 percent each.
Construction remains the bright spot in the midst of falling revenues in other industries, seeing a rise of 3.1 percent in revenue or the past year, versus a decline of 1.8 percent for small businesses overall.
The sectors with the biggest decline over the past year were retail establishments, with a five percent decline since early 2012, and health care, with a 3.8 percent decline.

PBN Contributing Writer
NEW YORK – Six local schools have ranked among the 378 best in the nation according to the Princeton Review's annual college book, released Monday.
The book, called "The Best 378 Colleges," included two-page reviews of Brown University, Bryant University, Providence College, Stonehill College, the University of Rhode Island and Wheaton College.
Brown's review highlighted the school's open curriculum, while Bryant's focused on the "rigorous curriculum" of the school's business programs. The review of PC noted that the college's small class size means students interact more with professors and administrators.
According to the book, Stonehill helped students "work toward nurturing the whole person through a comprehensive education." Princeton Review noted URI's strong science and engineering programs and connections to the world outside the school.
Wheaton's profile highlighted the school's strong faculty and small class size.
Rather than rank all 378 colleges academically, the book listed the top 20 schools in 62 categories covering topics such as academics, campus life, financial aid and athletics. The rankings were based on 80-question surveys taken by 126,000 students nationwide, or an average of 333 per campus, in the last three school years.
Brown came in at 20th on the "Best College Radio" list.
PC ranked fourth for "Everyone Plays Intramural Sports," eighth for "Lots of Hard Liquor" and "Town-Gown Relations are Strained" and 10th for "Little Race/Class Interaction." The school came in 19th on the "Financial Aid Not So Great" list.
URI was ninth on the "LGBT Unfriendly" list, 10th on "Financial Aid Not So Great" and 11th on "Administrators Get Low Marks."
Wheaton came in seventh for "College City Gets Low Marks."
Bryant and Stonehill were both profiled but did not make any top-20 lists.

#1 Longest-serving member of the house retiring. (Dingell)02-25-2014, 11:13 AM
John Dingell of suburban Detroit (Downriver suburbs and Ann Arbor) is retiring, after serving since the 50s. His father served in the seat before him and probably his wife will run for the seat now. If she doesn't, his son might-son being a family court judge whom I like a great deal, in a work sense.
Unless the GOP has a good challenger in mind. All the media people around here keep calling it a "safe democratic district".
A Dingall Berry successfully pealed loose from the halls of congress.
Pffffffffffffffffffffff! Buh Bye Big Ears
Michigan will still have the longest-serving member of the House when Dingell leaves at the end of the year. Conyers is still in office, although when he does retire, I don't think his wife will run for his seat. At least, I hope not. I think Coleman Young, Jr. will seek that seat when the day comes.
That's probably the understatement of the century. I guess they have that feeling of entitlement. It's tough to give up sucking off the government teat. In the City of St Louis (not St Louis County) it's impossible for a Republican to win. Even if they legitimately could win, all those folks from the grave would vote.
I guess people get the government they deserve. Detroit doesn't appear to have been helped by their current representation. I don't know when they'll ever learn.
" To the world you are just one more person, but to a rescued pet, you are the world."
"A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!"
Dingell's district isn't Detroit. It's the downriver (southwestern) suburbs, western Wayne County, and Washtenaw County (Ann Arbor). A GOP candidate could take the district, at least a RINO could. Dingell has held that seat partly due to the support of both the Big 3 and the UAW, and partly due to his own support of the 2nd Amendment and gun rights.
As far as Conyers is concerned, he does represent Detroit and some of the immediate surrounding suburbs. It blows my mind that he is still in office and that he is still married to the harpie/hootie. I lived in his district in the 90s, before he married Monica and I think that he keeps getting re-elected partly because he is perceived as someone who was involved in the civil rights movement and partly because no young democrat really wants to challenge him for the seat.
Never say never about Detroit-who ever thought there'd be another white mayor, after all?
I wonder if the real reason he is leaving is because he sees the writing on the wall?
We're from Philadelphia, We Fight- Chip Kelly
Gawd - he's 87. He's probably been voting from the grave for years......
It's not how old you are, it's how you got here.
It's been a long road and not all of it was paved.
A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes. Gandhi
His wife Debbie announced yesterday that she is running to replace him. She's a bit younger than he, she's probably around my mom's age (mid 70s). Their son the judge is in my age range, somewhere between 45-55.

03-29-2014, 07:29 AMThank you Noonwitch for the happy memories of SE MI. I grew up in A2 and know a little about Dingell.I remember a column that Chuck Moss wrote about Rep. Dingell back in 1988. He coined the nickname "Dingellfritz" and I never heard that name again after that. Yes I remember the crazy stuff that goes in in Detroit. It broke my heart to hear when Detroit went broke in 2013. I hope things get better for them.

It's wedding bells for Amala and Vijay soon and the former will then be quitting filmdom. Find out why
We are sure that by now you have heard that Amala Paul and Vijay will be tying the knot soon. We'd also told you that Amala will be quitting films post her wedding. So is this her decision alone or has Vijay asked her to quit film? Well, Amala says, "I have no plans to act after marriage. Family will be my first priority after the wedding. Post marriage, if any exciting offer comes my way, I might think about it. Right now, I am excited about my wedding arrangements and I am very happy in the current phase of my life. I am currently working on only one Malayalam film, which is titled Mili. I have not signed on any new projects now."
What more. She even rubbishes reports about her being confused about the decision to get married. She told a popular daily, "I am not confused at all about the decision. Nobody forced me to take this decision to tie the knot. I wholeheartedly took this decision and I am very determined about it."
And what does Amala's soon-to-be hubby Vijay have to say about Amala's decision to quit films? He says, "I feel that Amala knows her priorities well and is clear about her post wedding plans. On this happy occasion, we need only blessings and wishes and don't want any controversies about our wedding."
Well, our best wishes are with these lovebirds who will soon be united in holy matrimony. Keep watching this space to know everything about Amala and Vijay's wedding.

From Shafici Mohyaddin Abokar
First vice-president and head of international relations. SSPA
MOGADISHU, January 15, 2009 - Two years after the Ethiopian military occupation a high level delegation from the Somali Football Federation (SFF) early on Thursday morning visited the nation�s largest football site the Stadium Mogadishu following the evacuation of Ethiopian forces on Wednesday.
The delegation led by SFF First vice-president Ali Said Guled held a crucial meeting with Islamic Courts spokesman Sheik Abdi Rahiin Isse Addo, who said that the stadium is a public place and that young Somali people are free to play there again.
�This field is for sports not for military and from now on I tell with a loud voice that Stadium Mogadishu is free from Ethiopian occupation and every sports-loving individual can come and play again,� Sheik Abdi Rahiin Isse Addo said.
SFF first vice president Ali Said Guled thanked the Islamic Courts for handing the stadium over to the federation and called for an early landmine investigation operation at the Stadium and surrounding areas.
�This was a military base for a period of two years and there may be mines, bombs and small arms in and around the stadium and that will endanger the civilians who are coming here to play,� he added.
Built by the Chinese government in 1978, Somalia�s Olympic Village, where the nation�s largest football stadium �Mogadishu Stadium� is located has been used as a military base by the Ethiopian forces who completely withdrew from the capital on Wednesday.
The Somali Olympic village has in the past hosted many international sporting games such as the 8th Arab Students� Games, East-central African Nations Cup, East-central African Champion Teams competition and many others.
However, Stadium Mogadishu which was once one of the largest and most beautiful sporting sites in Africa and the Arab world has been overun by a jungle and will need a lot of hard work to reconstruct.

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) - CDC Fact Sheet
Untreated sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) can cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a serious condition, in women. 1 in 8 women with a history of PID experience difficulties getting pregnant. You can prevent PID if you know how to protect yourself.
Basic Fact Sheet | Detailed Version
Basic fact sheets are presented in plain language for individuals with general questions about sexually transmitted diseases. The content here can be syndicated (added to your web site).
What is PID?
Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infection of a woman's reproductive organs. It is a complication often caused by some STDs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea. Other infections that are not sexually transmitted can also cause PID.
How do I get PID?
You are more likely to get PID if you
- Have an STD and do not get treated;
- Have more than one sex partner;
- Have a sex partner who has sex partners other than you;
- Have had PID before;
- Are sexually active and are age 25 or younger;
- Douche;
- Use an intrauterine device (IUD) for birth control. However, the small increased risk is mostly limited to the first three weeks after the IUD is placed inside the uterus by a doctor.
How can I reduce my risk of getting PID?
The only way to avoid STDs is to not have vaginal, anal, or oral sex.
If you are sexually active, you can do the following things to lower your chances of getting PID:
- Being in a long-term mutually monogamous relationship with a partner who has been tested and has negative STD test results;
- Using latex condoms the right way every time you have sex.
How do I know if I have PID?
There are no tests for PID. A diagnosis is usually based on a combination of your medical history, physical exam, and other test results. You may not realize you have PID because your symptoms may be mild, or you may not experience any symptoms. However, if you do have symptoms, you may notice
- Pain in your lower abdomen;
- Fever;
- An unusual discharge with a bad odor from your vagina;
- Pain and/or bleeding when you have sex;
- Burning sensation when you urinate; or
- Bleeding between periods.
You should
- Be examined by your doctor if you notice any of these symptoms;
- Promptly see a doctor if you think you or your sex partner(s) have or were exposed to an STD;
- Promptly see a doctor if you have any genital symptoms such as an unusual sore, a smelly discharge, burning when peeing, or bleeding between periods;
- Get a test for chlamydia every year if you are sexually active and younger than 25 years of age.
- Have an honest and open talk with your health care provider if you are sexually active and ask whether you should be tested for other STDs.
Can PID be cured?
Yes, if PID is diagnosed early, it can be treated. However, treatment won't undo any damage that has already happened to your reproductive system. The longer you wait to get treated, the more likely it is that you will have complications from PID. While taking antibiotics, your symptoms may go away before the infection is cured. Even if symptoms go away, you should finish taking all of your medicine. Be sure to tell your recent sex partner(s), so they can get tested and treated for STDs, too. It is also very important that you and your partner both finish your treatment before having any kind of sex so that you don't re-infect each other.
You can get PID again if you get infected with an STD again. Also, if you have had PID before, you have a higher chance of getting it again.
What happens if I don't get treated?
If diagnosed and treated early, the complications of PID can be prevented. Some of the complications of PID are
- Formation of scar tissue both outside and inside the fallopian tubes that can lead to tubal blockage;
- Ectopic pregnancy (pregnancy outside the womb);
- Infertility (inability to get pregnant);
- Long-term pelvic/abdominal pain.

Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Worrbeltume Early OriginsThe surname Worrbeltume was first found in Cheshire at Warburton, now part of Greater Manchester, where they were descended from Sir Peter de Dutton, a Crusade knight, who in turn was descended from Rollo, the first invader and Duke of Normandy in 890. His Family Crest "a Saracen's head is still borne by the Warburtons referring to the Holy Land, and probably gained by some heroic exploit in the expedition. " [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. The source continues by referring to an earlier source: "This Galfrid lived in 1244. He was servynge his prynce, and vanquyshed a Sarrazin in combate - then begynnynge to seale with a Sarrasins's head" [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lowe, Mark Anthony, Patronymica Britannica, A Dictionary of Family Names of the United Kingdom. London: John Russel Smith, 1860. Print. Reader's Note: a seal(e) was typically an early form of a crest. Yet another source claims the family is descended from William of Eu, through Odard, nephew of Lupus, great Earl of Chester, who was a nephew of William the Conqueror. They were granted the barony of Dutton at the Conquest in 1066. [2]CITATION[CLOSE] Williams, Dr Ann. And G.H. Martin, Eds., Domesday Book A Complete Translation. London: Penguin, 1992. Print. (ISBN 0-141-00523-8) The Domesday Book also lists the spelling of the place name as Wareburgetune. Literally, the place name means "farmstead or village of a woman called Waerburh," having derived from the Old English personal name + tun. [3]CITATION[CLOSE] Mills, A.D., Dictionary of English Place-Names. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991. Print. (ISBN 0-19-869156-4) Worrbeltume Spelling VariationsWorrbeltume Spelling VariationsMultitudes of spelling variations are a hallmark of Anglo Norman names. Most of these names evolved in the 11th and 12th century, in the time after the Normans introduced their own Norman French language into a country where Old and Middle English had no spelling rules and the languages of the court were French and Latin. To make matters worse, medieval scribes spelled words according to sound, so names frequently appeared differently in the various documents in which they were recorded. The name was spelled Warburton, Warbleton, Wareburton and others. Worrbeltume Early HistoryWorrbeltume Early HistoryThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Worrbeltume research.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationBecause of this political and religious unrest within English society, many people decided to immigrate to the colonies. Families left for Ireland, North America, and Australia in enormous numbers, traveling at high cost in extremely inhospitable conditions. The New World in particular was a desirable destination, but the long voyage caused many to arrive sick and starving. Those who made it, though, were welcomed by opportunities far greater than they had known at home in England. Many of these families went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Worrbeltume or a variant listed above: Ann Warburton and her husband who settled in Virginia in 1656; Thomas Warbleton settled in Virginia in 1653(probably the husband of Ann); Edie Warburton settled in Maryland in 1718. MottoMottoThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Je voil droyt avoyre Motto Translation: I will have justice. Worrbeltume Family Crest ProductsWorrbeltume Family Crest ProductsSee AlsoSee AlsoCitationsCitations

The backlog of movies I would like to check out in the theaters keeps growing,
and at this point the only thing knocking anything off the list is flicks that
close. A couple more are coming out today, and I think I am going to be unable
to resist pushing the Doom movie to the top of the list. I don't know that this
means I will get out to see it, but I am quite curious about it, and I think
I'll have regrets if it were to close before I got the chance to check it out.

The Mail has reported on shocking news that David Cameron's close aide, Patrick Rock, has been investigated for allegedly having images of child-abuse on a computer.
Both Cameron and Rock were, coincidentally, protoges of pervert-loving Margaret Thatcher and had worked as Spads for all round shady person Michael Howard.
There are also striking similarities with the case of Philip Lyon, who was an aide of Tony Blair:
In 2007, the Sun newspaper carried the following story:
' A top aide to MPs at the House of Commons was yesterday charged with having child porn on his computer.
Senior clerk Phillip Lyon, who arranges the weekly Prime Minister's Question Time for Tony Blair, was arrested after vice cops raided his Commons office.
Lyon, 37, is accused of making indecent images of children.
The dramatic raid followed a probe into an internet kiddie porn ring.
Stunned cops found the trail led straight to the heart of Government.'
The plot thickens.
According to the Mail:
" One of David Cameron's closest aides has resigned after being arrested on child pornography allegations.
Patrick Rock has been closely involved in drawing up Government policy on internet porn filters.
He quit after the Prime Minister learned he was at the centre of a police probe over images of child abuse.
Detectives from the National Crime Agency searched No 10 and examined IT systems and offices used by Mr Rock, deputy director of the Downing Street policy unit.
Mr Rock was a protege of Margaret Thatcher and has held a series of senior posts in the Conservative Party. He has been close to Mr Cameron for many years.
Described as the Prime Minister's 'policy fixer', the unmarried 62-year-old had been tipped as a leading contender for a Conservative peerage only weeks ago.
His arrest and resignation from Downing Street, where he has worked since 2011, will send shockwaves through the party's high command. The Prime Minister is said to be 'extremely shocked'.
A friend said: 'He has known Patrick for a long time and never expected anything like this.'
Mr Rock was arrested last month after officials at No 10 were made aware of a 'potential offence relating to child abuse imagery', Mr Cameron's spokesman told the Daily Mail.
One well-placed source said Mr Rock had also been the subject of a sexual harassment complaint from a civil servant working in Downing Street, which is understood to have been passed to Mr Cameron's chief of staff Ed Llewellyn.
'There were accusations against him that didn't turn into a formal process. That has upset some people at No 10,' the source said.
Mr Cameron's relationship with Mr Rock goes back to the Home Office, where they both worked under Michael Howard in the 1990s.
Mr Rock, who has repeatedly tried to become an MP, is known in Westminster for coining the phrase 'Cows moo, dogs bark, Labour puts up taxes' used by the Tories in the 1970s.
The Prime Minister brought him back into Downing Street in 2011, a move welcomed by critics as heralding the return of a 'grown up' to the centre of government.
In the No 10 policy unit, he has taken a particular responsibility for home affairs issues and has also been involved in drawing up the Government's measures against internet pornography and child abuse imagery."
The report goes on to detail how Rock was once the political correspondence secretary for Margaret Thatcher.
By a strange coincidence, much of the correspondence between Thatcher and Savile has been doctored by Mi5 under the guise of the FOI act exemption clause.
The National Archives are due to release more revealing letters from 1984, under the "thirty-year rule", which could prove extremely damaging to the Tories in the run-up to next year's elections.
Was Patrick Rock aware of this most sordid of correspondence?
In a further twist, a mysterious fire recently broke out at the National Archives centre in Kew and there are fears that many important documents may have been destroyed.
Is Patrick Rock's arrest linked to these events?
Has he been arrested to serve as a warning to others in the know that they had better keep their mouths shut or else?
Will the Filthy British Establishment stop at nothing to keep a lid on their depraved secrets?
We haven't got a bloody clue.
Have you?

Traind Early OriginsThe surname Traind was first found in Northumberland and Durham where they held a family seat from very ancient times, Lords of the manor of Streatlam, Stewards of Richmondshire (now Yorkshire and Durham,) and were closely associated with the ancient Percies, Earls of Northumberland, and the Royal Balliol family. Stainton with Streatlam in Durham was an ancient family seat. "This hamlet at an early period belonged to the Traynes, lords of Streatlam; and was acquired, by marriage with the heiress of Trayne, by Sir Adam Bowes. The estate afterwards became separated from the Streatlam property, but was re-united to it in 1526." [1]CITATION[CLOSE] Lewis, Samuel, A Topographical Dictionary of England.

Toledo police are seeking information through the Crime Stopper program about a string of pharmacy burglaries at two West Toledo locations in which narcotics were stolen.
The Pharmacy Counter, 2655 West Central Ave., was burglarized Oct. 13, July 16, and Aug. 9, and the Toledo Clinic, 4235 West Central, was burglarized Nov. 23 and April 19. Police say the same person may be responsible.
The Toledo Clinic was the site of a smash-and-grab Monday when a man in a ski mask rammed a stolen car into the clinic and drove down the hallway to the pharmacy desk.
The incident happened shortly after 3 a.m. Security cameras recorded the man as he drove through the front entrance and down the hallway to the pharmacy desk, where narcotics were stolen.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Toledo Crime Stopper Program.

This is a prank best employed on a friend that hates pickles. When said friend falls asleep you position yourself over them with your cock out and an open jar of pickles. Then proceed to hit them in the face with your cock hard enough to leave a pickle stamp then dump the entire jar of pickles on them.
The worst part of getting double dill'd is not the dick, rather its smelling like pickles.

Didn't Do Their Homework
(This particular theme park allows free admittance for children under two. We get parents coming up to the entrance all the time saying their three-year-old is two. A guest strolls up to me with their obviously 11-year-old son.)
Me: "Hello there, how are you today?"
Guest: *doesn't answer and proceeds to present only his ticket media*
Me: "And does the child have a ticket?"
Guest: "No, he's only two."
Me: *to guest* "Sir, he is clearly not two years old."
Guest: "Oh, yeah? Go ahead and ask him!
Me: "You mean I have permission to ask your son how old he is?"
Guest: *with a smart-alecky attitude* "Yes, go ahead. See what he tells you."
Me: *smiles to child guest* "Son, do you like getting homework?"
Child Guest: "No, I hate homework."
Me: *to adult guest* "Sir, two-year-old children don't get homework. He needs a ticket and there is the ticket purchasing counter over there."

New vinyl pressing now available. Features full-colour gatefold jacket and LP on pink vinyl. Very few copies remaining of the current pressing.
Get yourself ready and put your hands together for the "blow-up" sensation of the rest of your lives: The Unicorns, Alien8 Recordings' latest addition, have arrived to save you, to let you save them, and consequently make-up the face of modern music. Having blossomed in Montreal, Quebec, The Unicorns have packed their things and are heading to all the roads in all the world for an unforeseeable amount of time, backing up their reputation as being Canada's most promising new band, and planet Earth's next big thing.
FACT: The Unicorns have a gift for blending a morbid sense of humour with irresistible pop melodies caked with beautiful vocals employing thoughtful, near-sacred lyrics.
FACT: The Unicorns don't push the envelope, these assholes sign, seal and deliver their work to the north, south, east and west, in limited edition holographic 3-D!
Upon seeing this band live, it's impossible to deny that there are supernatural forces at play. You'll never know what you are in for — a performance (i.e. a puppet show, a homeless person hired to impersonate the band, bizarre costumes, a bloody fight between band members) or simply sweet boys delivering the sweet goods. But regardless of what shape their live performance takes on, it never fails to be deeply moving and highly entertaining. You will leave a believer.
"Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?" features thirteen tracks deeply rooted in careful songwriting and lo-fi pop experimentalism that scream "FRESH", "INCOMPARABLE", "AHEAD OF ITS TIME", "HAUNTING" "CHARMING" "SEXY", "FUNNY" and "FUCKING BRILLIANT".
The recording opens with "I Don't Wanna Die," a plea to the makers of the universe to "grant me one more breath", setting the tone for the overall theme of the album. 'Tuff Ghost" takes the intensity up a notch with The Unicorns' attempt to cash in on the disco punk sound. "Ghost Mountain" is a lyrical tale of colonialism blanketed in a taut metaphor of one journey to the top of a haunted mountain, boasting classic lines like 'There was heat from the fire, but I still froze when I saw the ghost'. Completing the ghost trilogy, "Sea Ghost," a pithy pop tune in the purest form, will stick with you for days, eating at your insides and turning your skin green, not unlike a parasite attached to your leg at the bottom of the ocean. In terms of sonorous diseases, "Jellybones" is maybe the most infectious pop tune on the record, ending too soon, but sticking around so long. Analog synthesizers never sounded this good. But suddenly, the smoking urgency of "The Clap" re-awakens the unsettling undercurrent of the album, in a wiry, unforgiving 1:25. The band's sing-along Motown-inspired "I Was Born a Unicorn" serves as the band's confrontational anthem, flatly asking: Are you a believer?. "Tuff Luff" will make Jay-Z wet his pants when he hears it! The song's hook comes in the form of a penny whistle, but the impact remains in the wry critical observations of U.S.A. foreign policy. And then, just as you've embraced the Unicorns as your favourite band… it's over, sharply abrupt and sad (like slipping off a cliff to one's demise) with "Ready to Die", a naive dirge, relenting to the unavoidable reality of mortality.
Recently the Unicorns added a third permanent member on drums to fill out the group's sound, which has proven to be a tremendous help in live situations. The trio completed a countrywide tour of Canada in August with label mates Soft Canyon. More plans for touring North America, and the World are in the works. The band has already shared the stage with Daniel Johnston, Cat Power, I am Spoonbender, Metric, the Microphones / Mt. Eerie, and the Walkmen.
"Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?" on CD is housed in our custom gatefold package, featuring original artwork by Unicorn Nicholas Diamonds.

By Breeanna Hare
(CNN) -- To convincingly yell "I am Hercules!" in his new action movie, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson had to do more than warm up his vocal chords.
As a former pro wrestler, The Rock was already approaching Greek demigod territory in terms of build, but even he had to change his diet and exercise to become mythologically ripped.
According to USA Today, the 42-year-old actor had to endure a "Hercules diet" that consisted of seven meals a day, extremely heavy on protein.
The Rock would start with a hearty breakfast of four egg whites, five ounces of oatmeal and a 10-ounce filet of steak. By meal No. 3, he'd have wolfed down another eight ounces of chicken breast; eight ounces of halibut; two cups of white rice and two cups of a green vegetable, like broccoli or asparagus.
Meals four through six were essentially more of the same, with a few baked potatoes thrown in instead of rice.
It sounds like a lot -- and that would be because it is -- but The Rock told USA Today the diet was pretty painless.
"The only tough one was the last meal of the day, No. 7," he said, referring to the nightcap of 10 egg whites scrambled with vegetables, plus 30 grams casein protein. "I get back to the hotel room, I'm ready to go to sleep. But I have to down 10 egg whites."
But it sounds like eating those eggs was like downing cake compared to the workout portion of his Hercules training plan.
"It was grueling," The Rock told CNN of his training plan at the "Hercules" premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
"It was for six months, and then it was for an additional six months once I got (on set)," the actor said. "So it was the most challenging role that I had ever taken on -- physically and mentally, but I'm happy to be here and I'm happy to know the movie's good."
The Rock's not just hyping his project. According to RottenTomatoes.com, "Hercules" was 70% fresh as of July 24. Directed by Brett Ratner, the movie follows Hercules into war as he tries to protect the King of Thrace.
Also starring John Hurt and Ian McShane, "Hercules" opens Friday.

Past Event
Hayden Town Council meeting
- Thursday, June 2, 2011, 7 p.m.
- Hayden Town Hall, Hayden, CO
- All ages / Free
Steamboat Springs The Hayden Town Council is scheduled to discuss renewing its water storage agreement with the Upper Yampa Water Conservancy District at a higher cost during a meeting Thursday night.
The cost has increased to $68.38 per acre-foot from $27, which will cost Hayden an additional $20,690 this year for its 500 acre-feet of storage at the Yamcolo and Stagecoach reservoirs. It's an increase the town budgeted for in 2011. Action would take place at a later meeting.
Town Council members also are set to discuss funding options such as grants, loans and bonds for three enterprise fund projects: wastewater treatment facility improvements required by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment ($550,000), repair to the Hospital Hill sanitary sewer line ($100,000) and upgrading the water supply for Yampa Valley Regional Airport (cost unknown).
The Town Council will consider approving two memorandums of understanding, with Routt County for the Dry Creek Park Disc Golf Course, which straddles town and county property, and with the city of Steamboat Springs for use of baseball fields at the Hayden park for Triple Crown events.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. with staff and councilmember reports at Hayden Town Hall, 178 W. Jefferson Ave., followed by the regular session at 7:30 p.m.
