Bucking the trend of dressing down at teen-oriented awards shows, starlets from Ashley Olsen to Zooey Deschanel hit the red carpet at the Teen Choice Awards in sexy little evening dresses. The trend of the night was clear: high waisted, with full or bubble skirts, and daring necklines, ranging from the plunging, like Choice Music Breakout winner Rihanna's Collection Bebe frock (left), to the intricate, like Choice TV Actress Drama winner Rachel Bilson's Zac Posen stunner (right). Presenter Brittany Murphy (middle) also hit it big with her Sinha-Stanic mini-dress paired with slick patent heels, which is shaping up to be a major look for fall. Paired with soft makeup and hair, this look won across the (surf)board!
But guys still played it cool and comfortable on the red carpet– just look at Nick Lachey, who won the hotly contested Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon (Male). He stuck to his signature look of relaxed jeans and an untucked buttondown. And the people have spoken and wouldn't want it any other way!
Whose look did you love last night? Leave a comment and let us know!

Dec. 17, 2009
By Ray Hacke, Auburn Journal Sports Writer
Should Emilie Johnson pursue a pro basketball career, she can count on a wholehearted recommendation from her college coach.
"I would be her biggest advocate," UC Santa Barbara coach Lindsay Gottlieb said. "Whether it's overseas or in the WNBA, it doesn't matter. I would pick up the phone, call any coach and say, `This is the type of player you want to have on your team.'"
Johnson, a Del Oro High graduate, is now in her second season as UCSB's starting point guard. Known to her coaches and teammates as "Em-J," Johnson currently leads the reigning Big West Conference champion in several categories, including minutes played (35.6 per game), scoring (13.6 points per game), 3-pointers (15), free-throw shooting (21-for-24, 87.5 percent), assists (29) and steals (14).
The sophomore was named the Big West's Player of the Week for Nov. 21-29 after scoring a career-high 29 points on 6-of-6 shooting at the foul line and grabbing six rebounds in a Nov. 29 win over San Diego. Johnson also scored 14 points, one off her previous career high, in addition to pulling down six rebounds and dishing out four assists in a Nov. 25 loss to Kentucky.
"I ask her to do so much, I really do," Gottlieb said. "I ask her to play 40 minutes, to go 94 feet (the length of the basketball court) on both offense and defense, and to be a leader on the floor. She's handling the responsibility really admirably."
UCSB assistant coach Selena Ho, who works with the team's guards, concurred.
"We ask her to do multiple things," Ho said. "We ask her to run the team and put her teammates in position to score. We also ask her to be an aggressive scorer. We ask a lot, and she's done a great job."
Johnson says her coaches don't ask much more of her than she demands of herself.
"After the season last year I made a list of things I wanted to work hard to improve on," she said. "I just worked on those things, and I'm trying to accomplish more."
Foremost among her goals was establishing herself as the Gauchos' team leader, a role Johnson felt was hers to fill after UCSB lost five players from last year's 22-10 team to graduation.
"I wanted to work at being a leader on the court and being an all-around point guard," Johnson said. "I wanted to help (my teammates) trust me with the ball as their point guard."
Ho says Johnson's teammates are certainly willing to do that because of the hours Johnson puts in on and off the court.
"Anybody who puts up thousands and thousands and thousands of shots in the preseason is going to become a better shooter, and Emilie does that," Ho said. "She's a workhorse. It's a bonus that she's our point guard because the point guard has to be the hardest worker on the team, and it's good that her teammates see that because they know she backs up what she says."
"From a mentality standpoint, she's always asking, `What can I do better? What can I do to help the team win?'" Gottlieb said.
Though UCSB is currently 3-6, Johnson is "more confident than ever" that she can help the Gauchos win a third straight Big West title and go deeper in the postseason than they did last March, when UCSB lost to Stanford in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
"We've definitely had a rough start, but this is a new team and you've got to expect that," Johnson said. "We've got to practice at a championship level and maintain that. It's a matter of being consistent and playing at a championship level. I've seen glimpses of how good this team can be."
A biological sciences major who is minoring in health and exercise science, Johnson eventually hopes to pursue a career in either sports medicine or physical therapy. While she'd love to turn pro "if the opportunity's there," her immediate focus is on continuing to develop her game at the college level.
Her coaches consider themselves privileged to play a part in that development.
"I've never worked with a player as dedicated as Emilie Johnson," Ho said. "We work out extra every day. We're always doing film sessions, taking extra shots or doing tune-up sessions with special shots within our offense. She's one of those kids that eats up information."
"She's a joy to work with," Gottlieb added. "It's great knowing we get two and a half more years with her. We expect great things for UC Santa Barbara with Emilie leading the way."

James "Jimmie" Judd, a well-known antiques dealer recalled for his elaborate homes and discerning eye for art, died of prostate cancer Thursday at his Inner Harbor home. He was 82.
Born in Baltimore and raised on East North Avenue at Collington Avenue, he attend city public schools until he was in the eighth grade.
"He was severely dyslexic," said his wife, Barbara Katz Judd, who had owned the old White Coffee Pot restaurant chain. "He was a rags-to-riches story and had a reading disability that he was able to transcend later in life."
Mr. Judd worked at the old Western Electric Point Breeze until he joined his father, Amos Judd, a metals plater. He worked together with him at the family's electroplating business on Hollingsworth Street and later on Washington Boulevard in Southwest Baltimore.
In 1976, he closed the plating business and opened Amos Judd & Son Antiques in the 800 block of N. Howard St. along the city's Antique Row. He filled the business with European antique furniture, etchings and paintings. He worked alongside his mother, Catherine, who ran the accounting department.
"He could spot an unusual item from across the room," said Baltimore decorator Rita St. Clair, a friend. "He had an eye that was incredible. He went for the fantastic and the unusual."
Mr. Judd was also known for his homes, which he filled with his collections and opened to photographers and reporters.
"He had a warmth and sincerity. His name was platinum in the industry," said a fellow dealer, Philip Dubey, president of the Antique Row Dealers Association. "He loved what he did and had a positive comment for everyone who walked in his shop."
In a 1986 Baltimore Sun story, Mr. Judd said, "When I was young and poor, I used to walk from East Baltimore to South Baltimore. … I walked through Mount Vernon Place and told myself one day I would live around here."
About 30 years ago, Mr. Judd realized his dream by moving into the Washington Apartments facing the Washington Monument in Mount Vernon. He filled it with the European paintings and antiques he had collected.
"The symmetrical dining room, with its creamy colors and gracious proportions, is the place to display a 200-piece collection of Royal Crown Derby English porcelain," said a 1989 Sun story.
After living in Mount Vernon, he decided to relocate to the Inner Harbor after the death of his first wife.
"We met for the first time after her death," said his wife. "He told me he loved to dance. He called me the next day and our first dance was at the Suburban Club. We had a great love story."
The couple decided to move to the Inner Harbor and were among the first residents at Scarlett Place on Pratt Street. They bought a 3,800-square-foot penthouse that overlooked the harbor and added terraced gardens. After filling it with French antiques, he called it "Versailles in the Sky." The apartment appeared on the cover of Southern Accents.
The apartment had a 17th-century Italian sunburst on the ceiling that "set the tone for a black marble floor and French wall tapestries," a Sun story said. A Latin motto, "Nobis Habitatio Felix," or "Our Happy Home," was written above the front door's threshold.
"I have been 32 years in the antique business and have always loved the beauty of Italian Renaissance villas," he told a Sun reporter in 1995.
Mr. Judd's designers added red marble columns, beveled glass doors and intricate lighting to showcase his collection of paintings.
"I knew where all of my works of art would be set up three years before we moved in. ... My dream is to be surrounded by art. We shut the doors and we're in Europe," he said.
He said his "particular pride" was a villa-like patio bordering the home on the south, east and west sides. "Terrace gardens of wisteria and jasmine caress cast-iron columns retrieved after the Great Baltimore Fire of 1904," the article said.
Mr. Judd also assisted set designers for films shot in Maryland, including "Guarding Tess" and "12 Monkeys."
He moved the antiques business to Towson, where family members also polish antique brass and repair lamps.
Mr. Judd supported organizations that assisted dyslexia education and tutoring.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. Sunday at Sol Levinson and Bros., 8900 Reisterstown Road in Pikesville.
In addition to his wife of 24 years, survivors include four sons, Jay T. Judd of Lutherville, Lee Gerstley, Ron Gerstley and Ken Gerstley, all of Baltimore; two daughters, Geri Durham of Towson and Jeanne Weiner of Lutherville; 15 grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren. His first wife, the former Myra Gaston, died in 1983.

The Best Strategy is Not to Shut It Down, but Keep It Informed.
By Thomas J. Roach
The recent events in Egypt serve to remind us of the power of public opinion. In the aggregate industry public opinion brings to mind people living in close proximity to a quarry who band together to form a Not In My Back Yard group. They make emotional arguments at zoning meetings and perform endlessly for the news media. Like Egypt's President Mubarak, we sometimes want to control public opinion and become frustrated when we cannot.
Historically, public opinion became a recognizable force when the power of divine right kings began to wane. Vox Populi, Vox Dei was the cry of those who advocated democratic systems of government. It is Latin for "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Literally it meant that the reasoned consensus of the people could guide the government just as the Holy Spirit was to have guided the church.
All of the modern democracies are founded loosely on this belief. However, the framers of the U.S. Constitution also had a healthy fear of public opinion. While they believed that an informed, reasonable, engaged public opinion could lead a nation, they also believed that an uninformed, unreasonable tyranny of public opinion could destroy it.
Therefore they created a representative and not a true democracy. Our leaders are elected for two-, four-, or six-year terms to make them more or less sensitive to public opinion. A Congressperson with a two-year term is constantly running for office and must closely reflect public opinion in order to survive. A senator can afford to let his or her conscience and understanding of the law guide decisions and hope that at the end of a six-year term, the wisdom of an unpopular decision will have become apparent.
The disparity between the reasoning public and the mob suggests a methodology for managing public opinion. Since the mob and the reasoning public are potentially the same people, it is most advantageous for the community if its leaders encourage its citizens to engage in reasonable, cooperative behavior and discourage them from engaging in unreasonable, uncooperative behavior. This is mainly accomplished by demonstrating good will and by keeping communities informed of corporate intentions and decisions.
Good Will has a Price
The demonstration of good will has a price for the aggregate industry. It may mean paying for dubious broken glass claims, or in some locations it may mean rerouting truck traffic. Informing the community of the value and needs of the aggregate industry requires more time than money.
This is accomplished by having company representatives serve on boards and committees throughout the community and by participating in and sponsoring public events. Then when a zoning issue arises or when someone makes an unreasonable claim about the company, the reasonable, well-informed public will be more likely to form an opinion that takes into account the needs and the best intentions of the aggregate organization.
The opposite approach, the Mubarak approach, is to take advantage of the community at every opportunity, waste no money or time keeping them informed, and wait for them to symbolically if not literally surround your headquarters.
Egypt and its pyramids is home to the world's oldest quarried stones and therefore home to some of the world's oldest quarries. Consider that we are all one public, that the people in the street were exercising the same rights guaranteed U.S. citizens.
None of us was watching on television and hoping the army would fire on the crowd and drive them off. We were all hoping that the people in the street would prevail, and it was a victory for all of us when they did.
The best way to manage public opinion is not to try and shut it down, but to keep it informed and know that it will support what is best for the organization – if the organization supports what is best for the community.

Most hospitals asked to provide a complete bundled price for a total hip replacement were unable to do so, although it was usually possible to gauge the cost by also contacting orthopedic surgeons separately, researchers said.
In a study addressing the feasibility of price shopping for hip arthroplasty, only nine of the 20 top orthopedic hospitals in U.S. News & World Report rankings and 10 of 102 unranked hospitals gave a complete quote when researchers led by Jaime A. Rosenthal of the University of Iowa in Iowa City called, ostensibly on behalf of an older woman with no insurance but the ability to pay out of pocket.
But many other hospitals were able to provide their own charges for such a procedure, omitting only the surgeons' fees.
When Rosenthal and colleagues also called a randomly selected orthopedic surgery practice affiliated with this second group of hospitals, they were able to put together the complete hip-replacement cost for an additional three top-ranked hospitals and 54 of the unranked hospitals.
Still, the effort ended in failure for about 40% of both hospital classes, the researchers reported online in JAMA Internal Medicine. And, even for those for which cost information was eventually provided, it often took three or more phone calls to get it.
"We have found that despite a growing interest in price transparency, obtaining price information for a common medical procedure (total hip arthroplasty) is very difficult," Rosenthal and colleagues wrote.
"Our results demonstrate that many healthcare providers are not able to provide reasonable price quotes."
They also found enormous variation in the quoted prices -- from $11,100 to more than $125,000.
In an accompanying commentary, two policy researchers argued that healthcare providers need to be more transparent about the prices they charge.
"There is no justification for the inability to report a fee estimate, or a 12-fold price variation for a common elective procedure like a hip replacement," wrote Andrew Steinmetz, BA, and Ezekiel Emanuel, MD, PhD, both of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.
They likened the current healthcare system to that of the retail car industry in the 1950s, when "exorbitant shipping charges and phony 'preparation fees' were frequently tacked on without the buyer's knowledge" and the final price would vary tremendously from one dealer to another for the identical vehicle.
Steinmetz and Emanuel noted that, eventually, federal laws were passed to force dealers to disclose full pricing information, and other information sources also became available to arm buyers prior to purchase.
"Healthcare will need to travel down a similar path," they wrote.
In the study, Rosenthal and colleagues contacted two hospitals performing total hip replacements in each state plus the District of Columbia -- 102 in all -- plus the 20 top-ranked orthopedic hospitals in the 2011-2012 U.S. News & World Report listings.
The investigators used a standard script when contacting the hospitals. The caller (Rosenthal in all cases) said she was helping her grandmother do a price comparison in anticipation of an upcoming elective hip arthroplasty. The script included other elements including the specific ICD-9 and CPT codes, likely length of stay, and the need for post-discharge care.
Rosenthal made up to five calls to each hospital in pursuit of the price information, and to surgical practices affiliated with hospitals responding that they could not estimate physician fees.
As noted, nine of the top-ranked and 10 of the unranked hospitals provided a complete quote for the entire procedure, including hospital and physician charges. Three of the ranked hospitals and 16 of the unranked did not provide any price information, Rosenthal and colleagues reported. The remainder gave partial information.
"Common reasons that hospital representatives gave for not being able to provide a price included that the patient has to see a physician before they could provide a price, that they do not provide price estimates over the telephone, and that they had no way to provide such an estimate," the researchers indicated.
No hospital factors they examined -- teaching status, for-profit versus nonprofit, geographic region, or Medicaid caseload -- were significantly predictive of the ability to quote a price.
Of the hospitals that did give at least some pricing, about half of the top-ranked facilities and two-thirds of the unranked hospitals did so with one or two phone calls.
The mean price at top-ranked hospitals for which full information was found was $53,140; at the unranked hospitals, it was slightly lower at $41,666 (P=0.07).
Rosenthal and colleagues concluded that, despite the difficulty real consumers would likely face in price-shopping for elective procedures, the wide variation in hip arthroplasty pricing revealed in the study suggests that it could be worthwhile.
"Comparison shopping might yield significant price savings for savvy consumers," they wrote.
They also noted some limitations to the study: it examined a small sample of hospitals, hospitals may have interpreted the patient's probable needs differently, and its restriction to a single type of procedure.
The study was funded by the National Institutes of Health
One study co-author had grant funding from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disease and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Other authors and the commentators declared they had no relevant financial interests.

Asian Wood Products Buyers in Western Montana [AUDIO]
Wood products industry leaders and business owners are lining up this week to meet with a delegation of buyers from China and Korea who are visiting the area through the auspices of the Montana World Trade Center.
Trade center director Arnie Sherman said Thursday that the delegation was in Northern Idaho earlier this week, and their checkbooks were out to purchase wood products to send back home.
Sherman said the buyers "represent more than $300 million in annual lumber imports from markets across the globe". He said because of tightening supplies in Russia and parts of China, these buyers are hungry for quality wood products of all kinds, from dimensional lumber to landscaping timbers, to anything that would cover the forest, timber and wood products industry. He said "they are ready to buy if the supply is there and the price is right".
Sherman said there will be a reception Friday at 6 p.m. for the business community to meet the trade delegation at the University of Montana school of business.

WASHINGTON, DC – After her husband's first fashion faux pas, First Lady Michelle Obama has apparently committed her own.
Bloggers and news pundits alike are discussing Michelle's outfit after she dressed down during a recent family vacation.
This was how she was photographed exiting Air Force One after returning from the Grand Canyon:
Her supposed faux-pas as First Lady follows not long after President Obama was criticized for wearing "mom jeans" at a baseball game.
Should this be such a big deal? Michelle was on a family vacation, not official business, and spending time in a very hot area of the United States.
Or should she be expected to represent the White House at all times, regardless of the circumstances?

Last week I discussed source citations. As we look at various sources, be they books, certificates, census records or other artifacts, we are gathering evidence from them and it's therefore important that we understand what we're looking at, why it was created, and where the information contained in that source came from. As genealogists and family historians, our goal is to find original sources...documents that were created at the time an event took place by someone with first hand knowledge of the event. We're not always able to find original documents, but that is the goal to support our research. If a source does not meet the two criteria listed above, it is a derivative source.
The fact that a source is original doesn't mean the information contained in it is correct. My father-in-laws original birth certificate spells his name incorrectly. All sources contain information and the information can be primary or secondary. Primary information is information given by someone who was a participant in the event or who witnessed it. Other information is secondary. Primary information may contain errors as well. A mother is present at the birth of her child, yet we all know of instances where the birthdate is incorrect.
The third concept is of evidence...direct or indirect. Direct evidence provides the answer we are looking for without the need for additional documentation. A birth certificate with the name of the father and mother of the child. Sometimes there is no direct evidence available and we need to write a proof summary presenting evidence from multiple sources not directly related to the question we are trying to answer. I needed to prove James was the son of David but there was no extant birth or baptismal record. By following James' land deeds through three New England towns, and two states, along with David's will I was able to prove that the James who lived in New York was the son of David who died in Connecticut.
If you are new to genealogy, one of the first things you'll look for are home sources. So what original documents might you find? Birth, death or marriage certificates, naturalization papers, newspaper clippings, obituaries, a family bible, deeds, photographs, military records, legal records, church records...you might find any or all of these plus more. Or, if you family was like mine, you might find none <g>. This is where you want to hope that you are descended from a bunch of pack rats.
Let's look at an example of a document and analyze the information. The document is an original document, the death certificate of Patrick J. Moughty. The purpose of this document was to register his death, it was created at the time of his death and signed by the medical examiner who was called to the house when he died therefore a witness to the death. A death certificate meets the criteria for an original document.
Next let's look at the information contained in the death certificate. In the first section we have the name of the individual, the date of his death and the place of death, all primary information. The rest of the information, however, was provided by an informant, in this case, Mrs. Christine Dennis (the daughter). She was not there at her father's birth, so she only has only secondary information about the events...the information could be right or wrong. Notice that the name of Patrick's mother was listed as Mary "Unobtainable"...Christine didn't know her grandmother's maiden name. This document provides us with a clue to Patrick's birth, 25 Oct 1889 in Ireland, but we need to find further evidence to confirm this information.
The next section of the death certificate is the medical information. In some states (including Florida) this information is only available to family members and you must request the "long form."
This information is vital in creating a health history, so make note of the information you find. Patrick's doesn't give a great deal of information as he died at home and it was completed by the medical examiner. If he had died in the hospital, there would have been more information.
The last section of this certificate contains information about the funeral home and the cemetery, both of which can be helpful if you don't know where a person is buried. Although funeral home records are private records, you may be able to obtain additional information if you call or write them. This section also contains the signature of the Registrar, as well as the seal if the record is certified. You do not need a certified copy for genealogical purposes, but some states (including Connecticut) will only provide certified copies.
To record the information from this death certificate, the first step is to create the source citation.
1. "Patrick J. Moughty," Certificate of Death, Connecticut State Department of Health, 8 May 1973, Greenwich, CT, State File Number 211 (1973), Certified Copy.
Each piece of information you use from this death certificate will have the above citation. If you were putting this information into a pedigree chart it might look like this.
There is other information on the death certificate that doesn't go on your pedigree chart, but rather on your family group sheet. It tells us that Patrick was married at the time of his death to Beatrice King; that he was a naturalized US citizen; that he was a retired chauffeur from Electrolux Corporation; his address at the time of his death; that he was not a veteran and that his parents were Bernard Moughty and Mary (?). He died of heart failure, he was buried at St. Mary's Cemetery in Greenwich (which also tells me his religion was Roman Catholic). Based on the above information, what would be your next research steps?
Next week I'll share where this document led me.
Happy Hunting.

The Federal Constitutional Court has always seen itself as part of the international legal order and the global community of constitutional courts. It is in regular professional contact with national and international courts. There is ample opportunity for such exchange when the members of the Federal Constitutional Court visit their counterparts within and outside Europe and receive foreign delegations in Karlsruhe.
The Federal Constitutional Court participates in many international networks. It was one of the initiators both of the Conference of European Constitutional Courts, which has regularly taken place since 1972, and of the meetings with the German-language constitutional courts (Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein), the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union, which have been held since 2006.
The Federal Constitutional Court seeks to foster international exchange by providing translations of its decisions and press releases into English, as well as English-language information on various topics, at www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de/en. Topic-based collections of decisions translated into English, the "Decisions of the Bundesverfassungsgericht", provide access to its case-law.
Abstracts of selected decisions by the Federal Constitutional Court in English and French are available in the CODICES database, a database on constitutional case-law maintained by the European Commission for Democracy through Law (Venice Commission), an advisory body of the Council of Europe. They may be found here.
Here you will find the websites of other courts.

New Hanover County Commissioner Jonathan Barfield announced his candidacy for Congress Tuesday evening, saying "the timing is right."
Though the 2014 election season seems far away, New Hanover County Commissioner Jonathan Barfield announced his candidacy for Congress Tuesday evening, saying "the timing is right."
"It's right politically, as well as for my family right now," he said. "My middle daughter will be in college next year and I talked to my wife about it and we agreed that now is the time."
Barfield is the only Democrat currently serving on the five-member board of commissioners. He was just re-elected to the board in December, and said that though this announcement seems premature, announcing his congressional run so early was part of his strategy.
"I wanted to put the word out now and let people know who I am and what I'm about. I wanted to let people know what my intentions are," Barfield said. "It's always good to be out there first."
The congressional seat is currently held by fellow Democrat Mike McIntyre, who was recently re-elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in a very close race against state Sen. David Rouzer, R-Johnston.
Barfield said he has not spoken with McIntyre about his congressional run, and McIntyre has not yet indicated whether or not he will run again in 2014.
"The last election ended less than 90 days ago. Starting campaign season is now premature since the courts have not finalized whether the new district lines will be upheld or changed again," a statement from McIntyre's office reads. "Congressman McIntyre has always based his service on striving to do what is best for the people back home – and not based on anyone else's campaign."
The 7th Congressional District includes parts of Bladen, Columbus, Duplin, Hoke, New Hanover, Robeson, Sampson, Brunswick, Pender and Johnston counties.
While most of Barfield's notoriety comes from his leadership position in New Hanover, he said he knows county commissioners all over the district that will be key during his run. He said he will take the next several months to "become acquainted with the issues of Johnston County and all other counties in the 7th district."
Barfield promises that his campaign will not impact his work as a commissioner.
"I consider myself quite effective as a county commissioner," he said. "Nothing will do away with my responsibilities here."

Sarah Michelle Gellar, whose starring role on the series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" made her a big star, was not a happy camper by the end of the show's run, said costar Alyson Hannigan.
In an appearance on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live," Hannigan, who currently stars in CBS' "How I Met Your Mother," spilled some beans on her former colleague to host Andy Cohen.
When asked during the show's "Plead the Fifth" segment who was most "annoyed" by the end of the show's seven-season run, Hannigan piped up, "Sarah. She had a big career going."
She added with a bit of a snark, "It was a lot of work."
Gellar's star has fallen in the last several years. Her movie career never took off, and her last TV series, "Ringer," was yanked last year after one season.
[For the Record, 2:44 p.m. PDT May 9: An earlier version of this online post, including the headline and photo caption, misspelled the last name of Sarah Michelle Gellar as Geller.]

Stars of the Lid at Round Chapel 10th December
Someone just posted this on the Stars of the Lid facebook page. Definitely going to this because it doesn't look like I'm gonna be going to ATP.
Sold out already?
Blimey that was quick!
Thank god I booked mine this morning...
so lucky I saw it on Songkick this morning. Can't believe it's sold out that quickly.
I've just booked,
Wegottickets have about 30 left currently
And all gone again
Thanks DiS, would not have known about this otherwise.
just got two on wegottickets
says 2 more left still...
I suspect that there are still quite a few left - the Round Chapel is a decent size.
It's probably just that the Miles Of Smiles guys weren't expect such a rush and didn't throw all the available tickets up on wegottickets.
Just bought two tickets, I guess they're going up in batches.
Was a bit of an impulse buy, I don't really know much Stars of the Lid but fell in love with A Winged Victory for the Sullen last year.
Um, where to start I guess?
It's all good
but Refinement of the Decline is my favourite. Their show I saw last time they toured the UK 5 or so years ago is still my favourite gig ever.
The Tired Sounds of...
Is still my favourite. I always recommend that one first.
Refinement is also great, and also has my favourite SOTL track on it (and my favourite song name ever) 'December Hunting For Vegetarian Fuckface'.
More on sale now on wegottickets
Just booked 2.
bagged two tickets. massively excited!Vian this'd this
thx all
oh sweet Jesus
this is the best news I've heard for a long time.
Tickets purchased.
So this has changed location to St John at Hackney.
I don't know either of the venues, is this a good or bad thing?
Well, it's bigger, so more people can go.
Roly Porter and Anna Rose Carter confirmed as supports too.
- marckee this'd this
I can't walk home from there
(not exactly that far though tbf)
bought one
kind of on a whim but I've liked what I've heard of them so far.
Is this gig seated?
I'd love to see them, but I'm not sure I could see this sort of music whilst standing.. (it's probably sold out now anyway so beside the point)
It's not sold out - the venue change has meant that there are more tickets available.
I would guess that it's seated, being in a church.
It looks
like it'll be ideal from a google image search - http://www.london.anglican.org/images/Library/Photo8724.jpg
I would be
99.99999999% certain it's seated. I don't think I've ever been to a church gig where you can stand.
I went to one on Monday
in a church without seating. One of the worst gigs I've seen.
Won't be seated
Been to a few hackney childrens theatre things there... the seats they have are just fold away ones. They may have a few out i guess but it will mostly be standing dowstairs. There is seating upstairs.
Probably seated upstairs, standing downstairs
No fucking way am I standing up during this.
Emailed the promoter who confirmed it. Bah! Will have to get there early for seatsroastthemonaspit this'd this
Was tempted to buy a ticket
but as I'm seeing them at ATP anyway I'm not gonna shell out if it's not entirely seated.
Gah, will have to do the same.
I assume
That's what it is, he just said it'll be a mix of both.
Apparently this is in a different venue.
It's now at St John-at-Hackney
Oh probably should have read the thread before posting in it.
Pretty embarassing.marckee this'd this
Can't make this now
If anyone wants to go and hasn't booked yet.
Trying to work out a route to get to the venue, coming into London via Liverpool Street. Looks like a pig of a place to get to.
Any tips on best route?
Similar problem
Got to get to the fennchurch st/Southend line. If you're going to liv street then would Stratford work, that's pretty close. Any way you go it involves buses I think :-s
If everything is running okay in the afternoon you should be able to take an Greater Anglia train directly from Liverpool Street Station to Hackney Downs which is a short walk away.
Get a train from Liv St to Hackney Downs, takes 7 minutes and you're a couple of minutes walk from the venue (I'm hoping).
The 48 bus also goes from outside Liv St right to the venue but I anticipate it taking an absolute age.
Nice one, thanks
Should be easy enough!
Very short notice
But it's looking like I'm going to be overrunning at work tonight and won't get away. If I can manage to reallocate the tickets is anyone still looking?
If anyone wants a free ticket
message me.
Once everyone got into the venue,
That was pretty amazing, wasn't it?
Really liked Roly Porter too - great stuff.thegoodmrbrodie, Mnemosene, aboynamedgoo, and WhiteLightWhiteCity this'd this
The queue was a joke
Shouldn't leave punters in the cold for an hour.
But great venue and fantastic gig. Roly porter was good and SOTL were simply fantastic. Putting the bar in a side room would have helped, but otherwise a great night out. SOTL played some new stuff, old stuff and unplaced stuff. Lovely!
Everyone should get his record
it's brilliant
I plan on doing that this very evening
His stuff reminded me a lot of Ben Frost. Worked really well with the churches acoustics.
I saw him supporting Ben Frost, coincidentally
Almost certainly my favourite gig this year
Roly Porter and Ben Frost
I wish I'd seen that.
We turned up around 10 minutes early,
had to wait outside for 20 minutes, but got seats on the front row of the balcony. Pretty pleased.
Thought the gig itself was stunning. They absolutely nailed it. I was a bit worried it wasn't going to be loud enough, but you could feel the bass through the pews. The projections were a nice touch too.
The only thing that pissed me off a bit was the sound of people opening cans every couple of seconds. Wait until the end of the song FFS. Glad I chose to see them last night though rather than at ATP....
I watched the start of their ATP set..
and it wàs lovely but definitely no comparison to last night, when the bass kicked in I felt like crying, and the projections were fantastic
Amazing stuff
Felt kind of sorry for the cameraman who smashed his camera lens at a particularly inopportune moment.
Gutted I missed the encore, as Twin Peaks Episode 30 is one my very favourites. However, hearing December Hunting For Vegetarian Fuckface live more than made up for it. Absolutely stomach wibblingly epic.
- hip_young_gunslinger, WhiteLightWhiteCity, bruised_blood, jontosh2001, and Mnemosene this'd this
aah is THAT what that noise was?
sounded like something massive falling on the floor. I instinctively looked round to the projectors to make sure it wasn't one of those that had fallen to the ground
Was that the guy up on the pulpit?
I loved how he sort of collapsed over the rail afterwards in despair, and just stayed in that position for ages.
That was him!
Expensive night for him.
awesome stuff
Roly Porter was superb, and SOTL too. Pretty sure they played a Dead Texan track too? it sounded JUST like one, which made me happy.
awesome night
I was particularly impressed by how good the sound was for all three acts, I know churches can often be a bit tricky from an acoustics perspective but they utilized the space perfectly.jontosh2001 and Mnemosene this'd this
It was very nice and enjoyable
I loved the projections as well. So very pretty.
but I just don't think church gigs are for me. Admittedly i've only been to 2 this year that have been the same style of music but it sends me to sleep. And then I wake up from a little dozey relaxing nap and then I'm irritated and can't get comfortable. AND ITS SO COLD. And the people opening their cans fucked me off.
But otherwise it was a lovely gig.
Does anyone else fall asleep? I think I can only listen to this kind of music when I'm in a bed. I did have a wonderful deep sleep last night mind.
I was on the cusp of sleep when watching Tim Hecker at St Giles in the dark earlier this year
aside from being a little uncomfortable on the pew it was perfect, just trying to hit that spot of `falling asleep` without quite letting yourself go entirely. Reminds me of how much I used to like falling asleep to music (years ago, my wife doesn't like it).
H. was falling asleep too, though we were on an uncomfortable pew.
She enjoyed it much more than I thought though, after being in the queue for so long, I thought she was going to hold it against me forever.
Perfect gig, worth waiting years for as I have done.
Agree that the queue was a joke though, and personally I could have done with it all starting a bit earlier (then they could have played another couple of songs). The bar aspect was annoying but it was probably either that or the Union Chapel 'no drinks' policy which may have annoyed some.
Roly Porter was great too, and Anna Rose Carter was nice but seemed to only play for about ten minutes!
Very memorable gig
My favourite bit was 10 minutes into SOTL set when the bass just kept creeping up and up before hittting an obscene level which shook and rattled the entire building. If the rest of the set had stayed at that level I think the roof would've fallen in.
Aside from the quite incredible SOTL peformance the organisation of the event was nothing short of appalling. I got there as the doors were (meant to) open and had to wait 50 minutes to get in. Piss poor.
Also, did they not think that holding a gig in large church in the middle of winter would be cold? There were some radiators stuck to some of the walls but they the heating wasn't on! (I touched a couple - they were stone cold). Whoever was responsible for the organising was totally out of their depth.jack_on_fire and jontosh2001 this'd this
I think I saw their last UK show, Holy Trinity Church in Leeds almost 5 years ago, which was and maybe remains the most incredible gig I've seen. But that was special. Really enjoyed Anna Rose Carter, as short as her set was, am very interested to hear more from her. And Roly Porter was a hugely enjoyable surprise. Girlfriend hated it. I thought it was class. Like an amazing avant-garde horror film score. The guy in front of me visibly jumped every time he set off one of those huge thumps of digital noise.
Stars Of The Lid though, that was something else. I thought I was going to cry or be sick or something during December Hunting. Didn't really know what to do with myself. I left cold but ecstatically happy.flackcaptain this'd this
Not sure how anybody could've fallen asleep during that, the combination of the music and the visuals were utterly gripping. There were times where I was just frozen in my seat gawking up at the projections, unable to move. The music is beautiful but I thought the projections took them to another level.
Big, big thanks to the kindly diser who offered up their ticket. Really enjoyed it.
That was pretty special, eh
Never listened to SOTL before, but loved that. Church was bloody cold though.

The curtain did not fall silently on the Devil. But rather to a chorus of "I am offended."
In fact, the shouts by a group of Washington State University students pervaded the final performance in April of The Passion of the Musical — a show that has become the subject of a free speech dispute months after its short run.
The protesters, angry at the satire depicting the last of two days of the life of Jesus, forced the show to stop several times. At the behest of campus security guards concerned about a potential riot, Chris Lee, a theater major who wrote, directed, and portrayed the cross-dressing Lucifer in the play, self-censored one of the show's songs. Instead of singing "I would do anything for God, but I won't act black," a parody of Meat Loaf's "I would do anything for love, but I won't do that," the "black" was changed to "blank."
Along with jokes about gay people, AIDS, Hitler, and the use of "nigger," another chorus that roiled audience members was the "And I will always hate Jews" refrain in the parody of Whitney Houston's hit "I Will Always Love You." And of course there was the scene where newborn babies were shot onto the stage, apparently from a Mormon mother's offstage womb, and Jesus, like a good outfielder, caught all 16 of them.
Lee, like many of those who organized the protests and disrupted the play, is black. "The whole point was to show people we're not that different, we all have issues that can be made fun of," Lee said.
Several months after the play, a free speech group is coming to Lee's defense and demanding to know why college administrators appeared to support those who disrupted the production.
The group cites an e-mail obtained by The Daily Evergreen, the Washington State paper, in which President Lane Rawlins wrote to a professor: "I too was concerned about the threat to safety but I must say that our students, even though they were upset, exercised their rights of free speech in a very responsible manner by letting the writer and players know exactly how they felt." Not everyone thought it was free speech that the 40 students exercised.
"The protesters were the people standing outside with signs," Lee said. "Inside, they were hecklers. I wanted the play to cause discussion, but they didn't even listen to it."
Officials at the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education strongly disagreed with Rawlins that the protesters were exercising free speech, rather than violating it. "Disrupting a play with mob censorship is not protected expression," said Greg Lukianoff, director of legal and public advocacy at FIRE.
In a letter to Rawlins, Lukianoff cited a 1970 federal case in which a war protester won the right to hand out fliers. Previously, the University of Arizona had prevented him from doing so on the grounds that his actions caused people to threaten him and created potential for violence. "The court affirmed that a person has a right to be free from a 'heckler's veto,' " read the letter. Similarly, Lukianoff argued, campus security should have protected Lee's right to continue his play unchanged, rather than pushed him to self-censor to avoid an explosive situation.
Washington State staff members and administrators who supported the protesters right to interrupt the play, including the president, contend that Lee created a public forum by engaging the crowd early in the play. At the beginning he read aloud a critical flier that the protesters had been passing out. Twenty minutes into the play, after some vocal interruptions, Lee paused the play and told the crowd he would call the cops if they continued to interrupt.
"We believe that Chris taunted and provoked the crowd from the very beginning of the play," said Raul Sanchez, director of the Center for Human Rights at Washington State, which investigates harassment and discrimination claims. "By his character, Lucifer, reading the protesters' flier, he incorporated something that belonged to them, and made specific asides about them. We believe he converted what was a private forum into a public forum." He likened it to a group assembling to shout down someone on a street corner spewing racial epithets.
Lee's supporters said the protesters had every right to leave the performance, as Rawlins did, but they reject the idea that shouting out during the play was protected speech.
"Legally that's laughable," Lukianoff said of the idea that Lee begged public discourse. "Just because you address someone in the audience, it doesn't make the Winter Garden a public forum," he said, referring to the renowned Manhattan theater. Lukianoff also thinks the audience missed the point. "It's satire, public commentary. It's like South Park. It offends everybody, so that it can't be offensive. No matter how much you disagree with someone, it's dangerous not to hear them."
Lukianoff and Lee also believe that the protesters were not simply reacting to what they saw, but had planned to protest before they ever saw the show. Many of the protesters employed identical, seemingly coordinated, actions: stand, put forward a hand, and say, "I am offended." Some used their cell phones at specific instances, and others criticized audience members who laughed at caustic jokes. Lukianoff contends that these were premeditated acts, and, what's more, that Washington State facilitated the disruptions by not removing protesters from the audience, and by giving them free tickets beforehand.
The Office of Campus Involvement bought 40 tickets for students, only one of whom had seen the play, who were concerned about the play's content. Sanchez said the idea was to allow these students to see the play for themselves so they could engage in a discussion with Lee after it. The tickets were distributed by Brenda Maldonado, intercultural student development coordinator. Sanchez said that, as far as he knows, no employees helped organize the protest, but Maldonado criticized the play in local papers. "I don't want students to have to pay to support a program that is obviously racist and homophobic," Maldonado told The Evergreen.
Lee said that some protesters physically threatened him and his cast. In reviewing a tape of the performance, however, Sanchez said that was not apparent. Some cast members said there was cause for concern. Kenneth Ellis, one of them, recalled protesters yelling "you're going to hell" during one number. "The worst came when the only black girl in our cast was out on stage during the song 'I will always hate Jews,' the protesters yelled out that they would see her tomorrow on the mall, and the way they said it made you think they weren't going to be talking to her," Ellis said.
Despite the uproar, Lee said that the offensive jokes in the play were meant to depict the ridiculousness of bigotry, not enforce the stereotypes they are built on, much, he said, like South Park does by making fun of all races and religions.
Rawlins was off campus on Friday and unavailable for comment. So far, his written responses to FIRE have thanked the group for its interest, and assured it that the university was concerned as well. As for Lee, he was only silenced temporarily. He will be raising the curtain on Mangina Monologues in the fall.Download file "Everyone's a Critic"

A couple of weeks back, a friend and I decided that we needed to do a little testing in tour trim to set a baseline for a bit of an epic we have planned for October. So he had just put together a new touring bike and needed to test it, and I hadn't toured on my Fargo yet and we found a weekend and planned a overnight trip to the Grampians.
Day 1
The plan for the day was to run out along the Skipton Rail Trail to Skipton and then wander though the farmland to cross over the range into the Grampians and up to the Halls Gap Caravan Park. The goal to spend as little time on asphalt as possible and to hunt out the gravel back roads.
Leaving Ballarat on the Skipton Rail Trail
The rising sun over the rail trail. Though it remained freezing well late into the morning.
At Nimmons Bridge. You can ride across it, but what would be the fun in that when there is a plummet into the valley to challenge you.
At Linton. This is a mock railway station that has been constructed over the rail trail. Very clean facilities and a great rest spot.
Along the Skipton Rail Trail approaching Skipton.
There is a lovely cafe and a IGA at Skipton for supplies and a re-charge. We also found out there is a map of the trail, which may have been good for POI information.
After a couple of hours of back country roads out of Skipton, this is was pretty much how the rest of the afternoon played out on gravel farm roads.
We strayed a little off course because the Garmin decided it had a better plan but it was only 10km or so. But sunset caught us before we reached the mountains and it was time to say good night to the sun, and stop to put the warm gear back on.
The rest of the night was done in darkness as we took the back gravel road over the range to meet the main Halls Gap - Dunkeld Rd which we took to Halls Gap to set camp for the night.
Day 2
Second day was back to Ballarat with a planned stop in Ararat for Lunch. We didn't really have a planned route for today and just followed the Garmin though some rough reference points to make sure it didn't take a route that was too scenic.
Breakfast from the Halls Gap bakery.
Saying good-bye to the Grampian Range.
The Garmin found some interesting tracks along the way.
Some of the tracks just got better the further we went.
For the middle of winter we where truly blessed by the weather.
We ended up on this road that proved to be about 30km trying to ride though sand. My 29er on 2.2inch rubber managed to handle it just, but the 26inch 47mm just was plain hard work with them regularly digging into the surface and ploughing through the road until the rider was ejected. Made the afternoon a long one.
Another sunset on the road, as it all took more time than we planned. But doesn't mean the trip wasn't very enjoyable.
But ultimately the roll back into Ballarat was in darkness.

Review: Apple iPad 2 Wi-Fi / Wi-Fi + 3G GSM / CDMA (16GB/32GB/64GB)
Company: Apple Inc.
Website: www.Apple.com
Model: iPad 2
Price: $499-$699 Wi-Fi / $629-$829 3G
Compatible: PC/Mac
Pros: An iterative improvement upon Apple's first tablet computer, benefitting from modest size and weight reductions, two color options, as well as considerable under-the-hood improvements in speed. Still includes integrated apps for audio, video, and photo playback, web browsing, e-mailing, calendaring, mapping and more, plus a free downloadable book and PDF reading app, many improved at least a little over original 2010 versions; web browsing is markedly faster. In addition to running many of the original iPad's nearly 75,000 applications at higher speeds than before, adds dual-core CPU and graphics processor capable of running dramatically more impressive games and apps. New FaceTime cameras enable video calling and simple photography/videography. Improves upon predecessor's 10-hour battery life by adding 20-60 minutes of added juice under some situations. Improved video output capabilities, including screen mirroring and maximum 1080p output, when used with HDMI or VGA accessories. Now offered in separate GSM and CDMA 3G versions, accommodating Verizon and other CDMA customers.
Cons: New integrated cameras produce blurry, grainy images that are unacceptably weak for still photography and look poor when forced to fill the display; video recorded by the rear 720p camera is only acceptable. Modest reductions in headphone port audio and mic performance. Front glass continues to attract visible fingerprint smudges and suffer from glare issues, requiring film or a cover to improve usability outdoors and indoors. Still cannot run Retina Display iPhone/iPod touch apps at full resolution, and similarly downscales or crops HD videos to fit 1024x768 resolution, 4:3 display. Would benefit dramatically from combined GSM/CDMA 3G model; CDMA version exhibited slightly higher cellular battery drain and slower cellular data speeds, lacks SIM card slot, and offers fewer options for international travelers.
One year ago, pundits were split but surprisingly pessimistic regarding the prospects for the iPad (iLounge Ratings: A- (Wi-Fi) / B+ (3G)), Apple's first tablet computer. Though the iPad possessed an intuitive multi-touch interface, unrivaled battery life, and an attractive design, some mocked its name, others declared it an oversized iPod touch, and many scoffed at the company's claims that it was "magical and revolutionary at an unbelievable price"—adjectives that only Apple CEO Steve Jobs could combine in one phrase with a straight face. Yet he and those who saw the iPad's potential were right: straight out of the gate, the iPad radically simplified computing for mainstream users, and instantly cut deeply into sales of similarly-priced PC netbooks. Over fifteen million iPads were sold in less than a year, forcing competitors to rush out inferior alternatives just to plant flags in the suddenly fertile tablet computer ground.
Behind the scenes, however, Apple faced a new challenge: following up on one of the most successful consumer product launches in history with something that would sustain the momentum. And quickly. So only eleven months later—faster than the company refreshed the original iPhone—Apple released the iPad 2 ($499-$829/16GB-64GB), a second-generation iPad that straddles the line between a true redesign of the original product and a more modest "spec bump," akin to the ones annually performed for Mac computers. Just like the iPhone, iPod nano, and iPod touch before it, the iPad received a new enclosure for its second year on the market, complete with now-obligatory slimming curves and a modest decrease in weight. It also gains a few new features, including FaceTime cameras, speed-bumped chips, and a gyroscope. Finally, there are more options than before: three different wireless versions and two different colors for the same three original storage capacities. But almost everything else is the same, or at least, close enough that most users won't notice.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Particularly after Apple upgraded its iOS software to version 4.2 last year, the original iPad got so much right that it wasn't in need of huge improvements, and the new hardware added to iPad 2 addresses several issues that became apparent after the iPhone 4 and iPod touch 4G launches. While exciting, speculation that Apple would quadruple the resolution of its screen didn't seem to be grounded in reality—at least, for now—though less ambitious but more practical improvements such as an integrated stand or redesigned, smudge-resistant face didn't make the cut, either. Despite all the hype, iPad 2 is a modestly better revision of the first iPad, which like the iPhone 3G before it will be enough to keep the momentum going until a more dramatic redesign is ready.
Regardless, our staff purchased a total of seven iPad 2s for testing ahead of this comprehensive update to last year's iPad hardware reviews. Since the core iPad experience has remained so similar from 2010 to 2011, our review of the iPad 2 focuses primarily on the differences between models, including performance differences between the Wi-Fi, GSM, and CDMA versions. You can still refer to our reviews of the original original iPad with Wi-Fi and iPad with Wi-Fi + 3G for additional details on prior applications, which remain largely the same in the new model. Enjoy.
[Editors' Note: In light of its continued presence in the marketplace following the release of the fourth-generation iPad and iPad mini, iLounge re-rated the iPad 2 in our 2013 iPad + iPad mini Buyers' Guide to reflect the balance between its lowered price and comparatively less impressive capabilities.]
Editors' Note: iLounge only reviews products in "final" form, but many companies now change their offerings - sometimes several times - after our reviews have been published. This iLounge article provides more information on this practice, known as revving.

While picking up your item of choice from a store is a fun experience, waiting in the check out line just to buy one small item take the fun out of it. I prefer to shop online. Also, now that I'm living outside the country, shopping online is my only option for sending gifts to family. Online shopping has opened a new door to customers like us.
Even in India there are now quite a handful of websites offering online shopping options. Most of them are offering various types of items from home goods to electronics. When I came across MagicKart.in I felt like a kid in a candy shop, especially because of the fact that this website is dedicated to kitchen items and table ware. I love shopping kitchen items, and serve wares. MagicKart.in has a wide range of kitchen items and the prices are pretty competitive.
The homepage is plain and simple, and browsing through the website is very easy, you'll find just the right item for you. And, the best part is they have an online chatting service with the support team. I tried it out, and they are very prompt.
Magickart was started by a team of three enthusiastic people, and their work shows up on the site. Such a big collection of kitchen appliances and cookware is really hard to find online in India and even in stores. So if you are searching for something to gift your loved one this festive season, MagicKart is the right option.
