The University of the Cumberlands honored a special group of former athletes as they were inducted into the 2013 Athletic Hall of Fame recently.
Among them for his athletic and coaching success is Lynch resident and longtime coach Roger Morris.
Born the son of Victor and Maxie Morris in Keokee, Va., Morris is the ninth of 10 children including seven girls and three boys. Father, Victor Sr., played baseball in the coal fields in the late 1920s and early 30s. This may explain the Morris family athletic talents for years with a member of the family on the Keokee High School baseball or basketball team for 25 consecutive years.
Roger's brothers played and coached college basketball and baseball. His brother, Victor Morris, '64, preceded Roger at Cumberland, and was selected a Small College All-American in baseball before being inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame at Cumberlands in 2002.
Morris graduated from Keokee High School and enrolled at Cumberland College in the fall of 1962. His brother, Vic, was a senior that year and they played baseball together for one season. Roger's yearly batting average at Cumberland consisted of .489, .320, .379 and .400.
In his first college game against Pikeville, he went five for five, including a home run in his first time at bat. In a double header against Campbellsville during his freshmen year, Morris went seven for eight. Coach Walt Mathis told Morris he would have led the nation in hitting that year if he had accumulated 10 more at bats.
After his graduation from Cumberland in 1966, Morris moved to Dayton, Ohio and was signed by the California Angels. He was to report for spring training in El Centro, Calif., but was drafted into the Army in October. After basic training, he was sent to Fort Hood, Texas for Military Police training.
Following A.I.T. training, Morris was asked to manage and coach the 13th Support Brigade Team at Fort Hood. He accepted the position and his team won the championship that season. About three months later, he was shipped to Thailand where he served as a Liaison adviser with the Thai Marines.
The Angels helped Morris acquire a three-month early leave from the military. He played one summer with the Quad City Angels and attended spring training in 1969, where he was a late release due to his age.
Roger played summer baseball in Dayton with college players and former pros. He was coached by the legendary amateur coach Ted Mills. In 1985, coach Mills picked an All-Time All-Star team from players that had played for him from 1962-85. Morris was placed on the first team of all-time players. Mike Schmidt, former third baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies and later inducted into Cooperstown, was placed on the second team.
In 1969, Morris began a high school coaching career that lasted 42 years. He coached baseball and boys and girls basketball at Keokee High School for 13 years. In 1982, Morris became the head baseball and assistant basketball coach at Cumberland High School.
He served 22 years as head baseball coach, nine years as assistant and three years as head basketball coach.
His baseball teams won the district title 18 times and the regional title 13 times (nine years in a row), going to the State Final Four in 1985.
Morris also coached the East in the first East-West All Star Series, during which the East won two of three games.
He was elected to the Kentucky Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in 1998 with over 400 victories at the time.
In 2004, Morris retired from Cumberland High School. He coached at Lee High School for five years before retiring in 2009. During his coaching career, his teams acquired over 700 victories, winning 80 percent of their games, many of which came against larger schools. Sixty of the players who called Morris their coach went on to play collegiate baseball.
Morris is the father of twin daughters, Joey and Kelly, who led Cumberland High School to the Class "A" Basketball Championships in 1991 and 1992. Both daughters received basketball scholarships to Lees McCray in North Carolina. Joey was Kodak All-American during her sophomore year. Kelly later transferred to University of Kentucky and then to the Atlanta Art Institute. Morris also has two grandchildren, Maya and Roan.
In addition to Morris, joining this elite club were Timothy Henderlight (Cross Country/Track & Field), Ivan Johnson (Men's Basketball), and Jerry Williams (Men's Basketball).

It was meant to be the document that put a lid on the clerical sex abuse scandals that have swept the Roman Catholic world. But instead of quelling fury from within and without the church, the Vatican stoked the anger of liberal Catholics and women's groups by including a provision in its revised decree that made the "attempted ordination" of women one of the gravest crimes in ecclesiastical law. The change put the "offence" on a par with the sex abuse of minors.

FARWELL — Friona and Texico are set for a rematch of last year's boys championship game in the Farwell Invitational basketball tournament.
The defending tournament champion Chieftains pulled away in the second half to beat Farwell 60-47 while Texico avenged a loss 11 days ago in its season opener at Vega by pounding the Longhorns 59-33.
Farwell (4-6) will meet Vega for third place at 5 p.m. (CST) today, while Texico (5-1) and Friona play at 8 p.m. in the championship matchup.
Sophomore Nick Ortiz had five 3-pointers and 23 points while junior Matthew Stanberry added 16 points for the Chieftains, who led 30-29 at the end of a seesaw first half.

Texico, which lost 54-41 at Vega on Dec. 2 — three days after winning the New Mexico Class 2A state championship in football — wasted no time taking charge in this one. The Wolverines stormed to a 29-9 halftime lead and were never in trouble.
Junior Seth Bailey had a pair of 3-pointers and finished with 17 points for Texico, which got at least six points from five other players.
High man for the Longhorns was junior Brady Harwell with nine points.

Back in New England: D2R2
words by Tony Pereira
photos by Brian Vernor
I grew up riding my BMX bike on fire roads and trails in New England which quickly turned into mountain biking. Now, I don't know if you know this, but there is an old tradition among mountain bikers of mocking roadie counterparts. It is not nice, sure, but it is mostly in jest and for years I've joined in the fun taking jabs at my skinny tire riding buddies with a nudge, wink and a chuckle. Then I moved to Portland, Oregon.
There is some amazing mountain biking in the State of Oregon, none of which is in Portland. I had ridden road bikes before, but it became more natural when I moved to a place where you could not easily ride to the trails. It wasn't my favorite riding to do, but it was still riding and it was challenging. Before long I started riding with Ira Ryan and Greg Johnson and the rest of the crew that became the Rapha Continental. They beat the living hell out of me.
Luckily these guys really like to ride on gravel and dirt roads. When a ride was over and we were drinking our recovery beers it was the gravel sections that we replayed. "Man, it was tough getting traction climbing on the dusty stuff." "Did you see me almost eat it through that washboard?" I'd say "That was almost as much fun as mountain biking."
Now, five years and thousands of road miles later I have found myself back in New England riding The D2R2 with my Continental buddies. The second D and the first R stand for Dirt and Road. 90% dirt and gravel for 115 miles. Sounds like my kind of ride. I had no idea. Here I was, 50 miles from where I grew up. The terrain, scenery, weather and even the people were so familiar. I was home. I was riding a bike. Out West the climbs are long and grueling. This was different. Short, painful climbs and quick twisty descents. Fun right off the bat. There was a point, about halfway through where I wasn't sure if I'd make it, but I kept my pace reasonable and started having fun again.
By the time we finished I'd had a revelation. You see, when I was a kid I rode that BMX bike everywhere, aspired to race, but there wasn't a nearby track. I loved the dirt and sought it out, but when it came down to it we were actually riding on the road — road riding. Doing hot laps around the neighborhood. Racing to and from the town swimming pool five miles away. Everywhere we went, we owned the road. So, after 20 years of riding mountain bikes and poking fun at those who didn't it took a trip back home and a road ride to realize that my first love was simply riding bikes.
When we rolled into the finish tired, dirty and satisfied, Jeremy turned to me and said "Great job today, man. We may just make a roadie out of you yet." Thanks JD, but you don't need to. Turns out I've been one since I was a kid.

This weekend I went mountain biking with a 23 guy who just moved back to Philadelphia from San Diego. During one our rests on top of a steep climb he mentioned his observation that everyone in Philly road bikes. And that rode biking is so boring compared to mountain biking. I smiled and said I would of agreed with him when I 23 but at 39 road biking has become a lot more fun and mountain biking as become a lot more injurious. D2R2 is great cause it lets old guys like me enjoy to dirt again. Funny how age and physiology changes one perspective.

Ceramah postponement not due to K-Pop concert, says Shabery
TANJUNG MALIM, May 29 — Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek today refuted claims that the postponed ceramah by motivational speaker Ustaz Azhar Idrus, that was scheduled for May 26, at the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC), was due to a K-Pop concert.
Instead, he said the event was postponed due to traffic issues as both programmes were held on the same day and required additional components in managing traffic.
"The ministry has no hand in this (cancelled ceramah) and it is not due to the concert, as the PICC management felt that the ceramah should be postponed following traffic issues," he told Bernama after officiating the 5th Research
Findings Seminar themed 'Sports Research Innovation' at Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, here.
He was asked about claims made online by the opposition that the ceramah was postponed to make way for a K-Pop concert at the One Million Youth Gathering 2012, which they alleged would not fare well competing with the ceramah.
On the lack of support for the gathering should the ceramah have taken place simultaneously, Shabery (picture) said a youth convention was also held on the same day in Shah Alam which unfortunately saw a poor attendance.
"The organisers had hoped that youths will flock to the youth convention in Shah Alam, and it is understood that their leaders who were supposed to officiate the event didn't show up. In the end only 150 people came compared to the crowd in Putrajaya," he said.
Meanwhile, in his speech, Shabery said the public's response towards the gathering was positive, especially for traders as many of them made enough profit to pay rental for the booth.
"More than 2,000 traders took part and when I visited a sports booth selling shoes, T-shirts and more, I found they broke even on the third day and could pay rent for the first day.
"The trader could sell 12,000 items a day. I believe their sales increased from 18,000 to 20,000 items on the last day," he added. — Bernama

A slow start handicapped the Sea to Sky Eagles Rugby League football club in the team's opening game against Kelowna on May 12 but against the Surrey Beavers on Saturday (May 26), it was the opposite problem.
After 15 minutes of play, the Eagles had scored two converted tries to take 12-0 lead against the Beavers, but Surrey scored 36 unanswered points to win 36-12.
While the Eagles had experienced a game against Kelowna already, followers of the B.C. Rugby League (BCRL) had been considering the Beavers as favourites for the B.C. championship, with a team that's loaded with potential representative players.
But someone had forgotten to tell the Eagles that, as they put Beavers under pressure with several defensive moves that forced errors. After 22 minutes, Surrey finally scored an unconverted try but good defence meant no more scores and the halftime score was 12-4 lead for the Eagles.
The Beavers came out playing a tighter game in the second half with a better completion rate, fewer mistakes and going forward before passing out wide. The tactic worked better for them and a nice offload led to a quality converted try early in the second half.
Another unconverted try allowed the Beavers to finally take the lead 14-12 and the score stayed there until 69 minutes into the match, when injuries and the warm weather finally hit the Eagles.
In the last 11 minutes this close contest opened up as Surrey showed its talent with four more tries to account for the final score.
The Eagles fall to zero wins and two losses on the season and will next be in action on Saturday (June 2) when the Bayside Sharks come to town. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Mamquam Elementary School.

New Post has been published on http://tribunejuice.com/pioneers-continue-to-spin-up-dust-on-base-paths/
Pioneers continue to spin up dust on base-paths
HARRISON – The Clare Pioneers have continued to fill up the scoreboad with crazy numbers. This time, it was their counterparts to the north, the Harrison Hornets that were the benefactors of Clare's willingness to keep the foot on the gas, stealing bases, dropping bombs, and running for home as they sloshed up the first victory 26-3, then turned around in the night cap and poured out a 10-0 victory.
In the opener, Clare flung up 3 runs in the first inning, with Colton Punches singling to left. Matt Magnus belted a shot, Harrison compiled a few wild throws, and Punches came rumbling in. That turned out to be the theme of the game. Logan Emery continued to flex, driving in Magnus. Then Brock Swan stepped into the box, jumped on Harrison's Cody Coopers toss down the middle and pinch runner Mitch Greenacre took from 3rd like an out of control freight-train to turn in the third run of the inning.
Clare would dump on 4 more runs in the second and one more in the third before the Hornets could get the ball popping.
Harrison's Zach Anderson spanked a hit, then snuck to second. Matt Haskell unloaded to right field to put Anderson on 3rd.
Clare's defense has be relatively uneasy as compared to years pass, collapsed and allowed three runs to score on poor fielding and throwing.
But with Clare being able to toss up 26 runs, I guess it didn't matter a whole lot.
Colton Punches was 2 for 3 with 4 RBI's, Nick Montini was 2 for 2 with 2 RBI's.
Dylan LaPorte and Zach Anderson both had hits for Harrison.
In the night cap, Charlie Bugbee went 3 for 3 with 2 RBI's to lead the Pioneers.
Harrison was led by Nunnally and Haskell who both had a hit a piece.
"We are improving. I think we are going to win a few more games this season," said Tom Whitfield of Harrison.

Most of you, I'm guessing, are familiar with podcasts. In fact, you might have listened to our very own BlackBerry podcast, the BBGeekcast. These informal Internet radio shows have been around for quite a while now. Following in audio podcasting's footsteps is video podcasting. It's basically the same idea, except with the added visual element. With a new slew of multimedia BlackBerry devices, you now have the ability to watch video podcasts from anywhere. The problem, as it is with most multimedia and your BlackBerry, is that it's tough to perform OTA. Today we'll go over downloading, converting, and transferring video podcasts to your BlackBerry.
A note on formats
As you might already know, BlackBerry only supports a handful of video formats. Thanfully, there is only a bit more than a handful of video formats out there, so you should be good when watching various formats. From what I've seen, the preferred format is 3gp. If you prefer that format, you can find a format converter. Otherwise, via BlackBerry FAQ, here are the acceptable formats:
* MPEG-4 Part 2 (Simple Profile and bvop, including DivX 4)
o File formats – .avi, .3gp, .mp4, .mov
o Video – Up to 320 x 240, up to 800 kbps, up to 30 frames per second
* H.263 (Profile 0 & Profile 3)
o File formats – .avi, .3gp, .mp4, .mov
o Video – up to 320 x 240, up to 800 kbps, up to 30 frames per second
* Windows Media Video (Simple Profile)
o File formats – .wmv
o Video – Up to 320 x 240, up to 800 kbps, up to 24 frames per second
Note, however, that not all .avi files will work with your particular BlackBerry. If you have .avi files larger than 320 x 240, you might want to convert it to a 3gp file or resize the .avi with a video editor. I've been looking around for such software for Mac, but haven't had an easy time finding freeware. So it looks like you might have to shell out some cash if you want to do this regularly.
Finding video podcasts
Unless you have a specific video podcast in mind, you might wonder where you can find these. Videopodcasts.tv is as good a place to start as any. It has an enormous directory of video podcasts from a wide range of topics. It can also lead you to video conversion software like AVS4YOU (again, though, no Mac support).
Other than that, you can surf around to find video podcasts. A little Googling can always bring answers. Oh, and there's always iTunes.
Converting file types
As mentioned above, you'll probably have to convert any video podcasts you find. Most podcasters record in a greater resolution than 320 x 240, so finding one naturally in that format will be tough. The best bet is to find conversion software (for PC users, there are a few suggestions above) and reduce the size and/or change the format.
Loading to your BlackBerry
There are a number of ways you can load this to your BlackBerry media card. The easiest way would be to connect your Berry to your computer and when the dialog box pops up, say that you want to go into Mass Media Mode. A removable drive should then appear on your computer, which you can open up. From there you can drag the video, disconnect the drive, and you're set.
You can also use BlackBerry Desktop Manager to load the file to your media card. Or PocketMac, or Missing Sync. In any case, there are a number of ways you can load up this content.
You can now open the video podcast with your BlackBerry Media Player, or another video player of your choice. I really wish the process wasn't this involved, but it appears to be the reality for now. As we see faster data speeds and more widespread smartphone usage, we might start to see OTA availability. For now, though, it looks like you'll need the conversion process.

Both this story and the Jet 731story have made it to CNN now on the front page. Hashimoto is an idiot, if he had not meant it he should not have said it in the first place. He is probably receiving lots of political pressure to apologize now.
Posted in: Hashimoto offers to meet 'comfort women' to apologize
This statement is a little bit of an exaggeration:
"still sits in the midst of unhealed scars from war and daily violence imposed by the military".

Yubaru, there are tons of loopholes in the sex industry in Japan, just because its not sex in the basic definition. "Health Clubs" salons and the mizushobai trade are everywhere in Japan. There are literally tons of legal sex businesses everywhere in Japan.

Mikune, using stress as an excuse to commit murder is ridiculous, millions of people have stress everyday that manage not to commit murder. This guy is getting no sympathy from me and I hope they throw him in jail for the rest of his life. Seriously, I have stress and have experienced some crazy stress while in the military earlier in my life and I highly doubt this individual had anyone trying to kill him on a daily basis to give him stress. I feel bad for the kids this guy can rot for all I care.
Yeah that's great, I am stressed out let me kill my children. This guy is a piece of trash.
Hashimoto is a fool. If he needs to stoop to those kind of statements to get attention he has no right to be in office.

Superlib, since guns are not registered in most places how do you know how many people have guns in America? As far as the NRA blocking legislation if so and people disagree with it I suggest they take it up with their elected officials at the ballot next election. That Universal background check bill was rubbish anyways and had no way to be enforced, anyone will agree with a poll of background checks if asked in a certain way. So those huge 90% agreement numbers are BS. I have had these types of discussions with many liberals over the past few months and I would ask you then, if you have so much support for your cause and the numbers are so conclusive why has nothing changed? It would seem to me that you really don't have the anti gun support you think you have, and watching polls as you like to pull numbers from above seem to say that opinion has swung the other way away from anti-gun legislation in the months after Newtown. Why because emotions settled down and common sense kicked back in. You can blame the NRA and like organizations all you want and cry that its their fault that your crusade was stomped. I think its comical.
By the way this comment:
> Shocking. I can't believe a country that is awash in guns would have a problem with people getting gunned down. Obviously they need more guns. And seriously, stop bringing up Mexico when we both know I could list a hundred countries where the opposite is true. It's an argument that exists just so you can have something to say for a response
You wouldn't say that if you were in one of those drug war border towns. The US has some of the largest unguarded unfenced borders in the world so where are these hundreds of other countries where the same is true?
We can go back and forth forever, I really don't you have your opinion and I have mine. I respect yours I just don't agree with it. You can quote all of the stats and figures you want, but based on my personal experience I am going to keep on doing what I am doing.

cleo I love my country, and I refuse to live in fear of a couple of nutballs therefore I will choose to protect myself. cleo taking away my freedoms is not the answer to solving those crime issues, and when you take one freedom away whats next? its a slippery slope.
Jimizo, last time I checked people were armed with more than shotguns and revolvers.
Thunderbird saying that is paranoid is ignorance to the world we live in today.
Posted in: Gunmen open fire at New Orleans Mother's Day parade; 19 wounded
Myself personally as an American and NRA member or gun nutter as described above have no problem turning in all of my guns when the following happen; No more wars, no more home invasions, no more robberies, no more rape, no more terrorism, no more crime in general, and no more corrupt government. I take a vested interest in securing the safety of myself and my family as well as anyone else around me. To think that we live in a world where gentle words and good intentions will make us safer is ignorant. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. I really wish we did live in a place and time where guns aren't necessary, but I would rather have a carry pistol on me when someone tries to rob me or stab me, than some good intentions, because the police aren't going to stop that lunatic from messing your day up. They are a reaction and deterrence force which means 9/10 times they show up after something has happened rather than preventing it from happening. I can understand from the outside looking in how archaic and non applicable Americas gun stance looks to the rest of the world and even to some Americans, but our country was founded by a bunch of average joes that used their own firearms to end tyranny and oppression and form their own nation. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. While it may not seem applicable today, the time may come again where the reason for the second amendment to the constitution exists becomes extremely valid again. And as for day to day gun ownership I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it. As I said above the problem in the US is cultural not gun related. In any of these mass shootings or recently terror attacks the criminal is the one who is glorified and over reported by the press in intimate detail. When people look to point a finger of blame organizations like the NRA are easy targets as they are large well funded and can be cast in an evil light easily because of what they stand for. So instead of blaming the person that commits a crime they blame those who favor responsible gun ownership and attempt to infringe on the rights of law abiding people rather than make changes to the culture that breeds these maniacs. Fear is a powerful weapon and both sides of the argument are masters and bending it to their cause. Arguments like I saw above talking about the right to bear nuclear weapons and explosives are ludicrous. Nobody is asking for that. But a reasonable degree of safety has different meanings to different people and ironically while personally I don't feel the need to have an A-bomb at home for defense I think it is funny that those who do control those weapons I wouldn't trust to take care of my dog if I was away for a day. Perspective is all the difference in some of these discussions. While events like this shooting, Newtown, Boston, Columbine etc etc etc are regrettable the fact is that taking away my guns would not have prevented them, and my guns on me or someone like had I been there would have had something to say about them. Everyday in the USA crimes are prevented because of those rights that people are looking to strip from the everyday law abiding gun owner. You never hear about them because they are good news and not worthy of a report and because they don't fit the biased media agenda. I hope for the day when nobody needs guns, but I am ready for the day when they are needed.

Do they not wear blaze orange in Japan while deer hunting? It prevents tons of these incidents in the states and This ojisan obviously didn't follow cooper rules for gun handling that are widely known to practically everyone that shoots: "Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy." and "Be sure of your target and what is beyond it."

Or SuperLib, The criminals would just purchase them illegally. You really think making new laws is going to prevent these crazies from blowing away people? Nope, they only hinder the people that actually obey the law. Hell the laws that already are there aren't enforced, and you really think that third party transactions will have background checks ran on them? That is a pipe dream which realistically can't be enforced. So Obama can try and pass all the feel good legislation he wants just so it looks like he is doing "something" but in the end things are still going to happen. I am curious how good it would make him look the second there was a mass shooting after his laws proposed had passed. Yeah it would have made him look like an ass. Its easy to sit back and come up with magical solutions that fall apart the second they are shot to hell literally. The issue here is a cultural issue not a gun control issue. I am curious to find out what all the facts in this incident are.

Beware anything made in a Communist country with the title "Peoples" in it. It rarely reflects any of the "peoples" opinions. It is always an agenda on the state.
Honestly people really need to get over World War II. Those grudges should have long since dropped. Living in the past makes you loose sight of the present and the future.

Ex-Mandela Consultant Warns of White Genocide
Posted on: 2012-10-21 20:47:06 by Christian Gomez On Tuesday, October 2, 2012, the Fox Valley Conservative Forum, which meets regularly for a luncheon. Hruska, who now lives in the United States, discussed the ongoing genocide against white ('Afrikaner') people in her country under the largely communist-controlled ANC government of president Jacob Zuma. Born in Victoria, South Africa, to a nontraditional Afrikaner family, with a right-wing father and a left-wing mother, Hruska would go on to work in politics as a consultant in the presidential administration of(South Africas first black president) Nelson Mandela from 1994 to 2001. I was the coordinator between the different spheres of government, civil society and state organizations, to actually implement the new government policies, Hruska said. As an early supporter of Mandela and the dream of a rainbow South Africa, Hruska truly believed in establishing a country where, regardless of the color of ones skin or ethnicity, one could live in harmony and equality. Unfortunately, as she described, the opposite came true. After about six years, Hruska said, I realized something serious is wrong; the communist elements are taking over, its not what we were promised. She explained the change that followed: Whites were getting excluded through affirmative action and black economic empowerment. And at the same time, the Chinese got black status; so the (4million) whites were excluded and the Chinese were included under affirmative action as blacks. We now find that a white is not allowed to enter, for instance, into management, but a Chinese person may buy a mine or buy shares in a mine, and the same [is true] with banks. A business owner in SA can get 25 years in jail for employing a white person: As a business owner, I can get 25 years in jail time if I do employ a white person, for instance. It is totally ridiculous; you cannot have imagined that affirmative action -- [the black-economic empowerment laws of South Africa favour the fast black majority and deny the small white minority access to the job market] -- could have gone so far. What began as a quest to end the white discriminatory policy of apartheid has transformed into a kind of reverse racism, where whites are now totally excluded from the economic sector, according to Hruska. Hruska said the newly empowered African National Congress (ANC) government has slowly curtailed the rights of whites, and now some black South Africans have gone as far as committing atrocious killings of whites -- to the point where the situation has been classified as Stage Six genocide by Genocide Watch . Over the last decade, at least 3,000 white overwhelmingly Afrikaner -- farmers have been murdered in South Africa. See full story here. |

Joanna Newsom - Colleen
I love the cyclical style of this tune. Plus I get giddy during the bridge where she shouts "HAH!" I don't know why, I think it's an inspired moment in music I guess.
Currently relishing in the musical orgasm which is Chicane - Offshore. <333
Listening to a bunch of Rap/Hiphop or some RnB's to chill.
I'm open to whatever comes to me. I have no general preference.
Though, I've begun to listen to Imogen Heap, really got caught with her first album.
Anthrax's "I am the Law'. It's sheer metal perfection. Scott Ian is a god among the living.
Whew. I can't stop listening to this:
Paramore's cover of "Use Somebody" by Kings of Leon. Awesome.
I've only heard The Sprout and the Bean by her but I love her. I really should listen to some more songs by her.
Raps songs these days aren't as good as the ones in the early late 90's and early 2000.
Current track;
Beautiful by Ami Suzuki
Florence And The Machine - Dog Days Are Over.
When I first got the album I didn't like it that much. There were some good tracks but nothing that really stood out but then I just left it on repeat for a while and it really grew on me, it's an amazing album.
Right now...I'm really big on listening to Trish Trang, Utada Hikaru, and Ayumi Hamasaki. I found my old J-pop cd a friend burned back when I was still in high school.
One of Trish's best songs I think is Crossing Over. Lie to Me is lovely as well. For Utada...Kremlin Dusk and Hotel Lobby. Distance and First love are also very beautiful.
I really...would marry Trish or Hikki if laws allowed it.
I don't think i'll be able to take Chicane seriously after butchering Hoppipolla...
As far as electronica goes, I picked up Ikebana by Zero Cult today. Very nice album.
Electronica is something that's quite foreign to me. I listen to bands with Moogs and other synths and electronic instruments but I wouldn't consider any of it electronica. Any recommendations?
Hmm, it really depends. I'm not one for genre limitations, so some people may call me a blasphemer for referring to Solar Fields/Aphex Twin/Amon Tobin as Electronica. But yes, any of those are good starting points. Aphex Twin is more leftfield and experimental, Solar Fields seem to navigate between downbeat ambience and fast paced trance. If you've played Mirror's Edge then you might recognise some of their music, as they did the soundtrack. Amon Tobin is a sampler and creates rediculously complex soundscapes through sampling different kinds of music so that's great too.
On the topic of Japanese artists, my favourite band happen to be Japanese. They are called Mono and they play beautiful, soaring, dynamic instrumental music that has the ethereal highs of classical orchestral, the ambient drones and twinkling guitars of post rock, and the celestial lows of doom/sludge. They are easily the best live band i have ever seen and strongly advise you guys to check them out! They are starting a US tour at the end of the month so check out their myspace to see if they have a show near you. You won't experience anything quite like them, i promise
Myspace - http://www.myspace.com/monojp
Live vid - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VogyJ9YszC8
Other notable Japanese bands i like include Boris, Envy, World's End Girlfriend, Melt Banana, Merzbow etc... I'd like all of these if they were from any other country too, but in bands like Melt Banana's case i don't believe they'd be the same if they were from America or England or something. It adds to the charm and eclectic nature of their music.
Oh, and Boris opened for Nine Inch Nails on their latest US tour so a couple of you may have seen them. Melt Banana opened for Tool on their US tour a few years ago, too. Possibly the only band that is capable of confusing Tool fans... Awesome.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Starling Marte's solo home run in the fifth inning proved to be the difference on Monday as the Pittsburgh Pirates knocked off the Atlanta Braves, 2-1, in the opener of the final regular-season series for both teams.
The Braves' loss cemented the Nationals as 2012 NL East champs. It's the franchise's first division title in 31 years, back when the club was known as the Montreal Expos.
Marte finished with two hits and two runs scored and Chase d'Arnaud added an RBI groundout for the Pirates, who had lost four of their last five coming in.
Jeff Locke (1-3) allowed a run on just two hits with six strikeouts over six innings. He struggled with his command a bit, walking five hitters, but did enough to earn his first career win.
Jason Heyward knocked in the run for the Braves, who have won seven of their last nine, but were eliminated from the race for the National League East crown with the setback.
Paul Maholm (13-11) pitched seven strong innings, but allowed two runs on five hits and three walks to take the loss.

HILLSBORO - One person, who escaped a burning moible home on Wall Street, later was taken to an area hospital for treatment of an unknown medical problem.
About four people escaped the burning trailer, situated at 8 Wall St. behind a storage facility, but one of the occupants was later transported by ambulance to a local hospital, according to Fire Chief. Fire Chief Kenny Stafford. He did not know why the individual needed medical attention.
The fire was reported at 2:56 a.m. and by the time the first fire crews arrived 6 to 8 minutes later, flames had enveloped the mobile home.
Flames were coming out doors, windows, the roof," Stafford said.
here was little firefighters could do to try and save the home. Fire crews battled the blaze as temperatures dipped to minus-7 degrees Fahrenheit but Stafford said the frigid weather posed no problems for them. The mobile home is in an area of the town where there are fire hydrants.
It took about 90 minutes and 40 firefighters from four communities to extinguish the flames. When it was over, the fire had devoured the trailer.
An occupant told fire officials the blaze started in the middle of the home in a spare bedroom. What caused it remains under investigation, the fire chief said.

I discover a really cool designer toys store in Yokohama called "Sup!" They mostly have a kidrobot stuff, but really, is that a bad thing ^_^ I brought back a Munny home with me, I'll try to figure out something cool to do with it. Munny is the most popular kidrobot character, and the main concept is that they sell blank ones ( or white if you prefer ) and you are suppose to color it yourself and make it unique. If you google "munny" you should get a lots of exemples!
I don't want to turn this site into an otaku fest, but I think it pretty fun to shoot toys outside, makes them feel more alive! I will try to keep him in my camera bag and do this more often ^_^

I went to the CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging Show today. I was hoping to see something new and unique from Nikon, like the famous mirrorless dslr that was suppose to be annonce this week-end, but instead they only show five new coolpix, which don't really interest me. Fuji came out with a cool/retro looking camera, which I think was the coolest thing to see this year. Beside that every booth had a bunch of girls to promote their products. Enjoy the photos.

By Ellen Thompson/Havre Daily firstname.lastname@example.com
County officials held a forum Thursday night to sell their plan to consolidate all emergency dispatching at the jail once a new service, enhanced-911, is available.
"I thought the turnout was good," Hill County Sheriff Greg Szudera said today. "I think it accomplished two things: It showed the county's point of view and it showed the city's point of view."
Havre city police and fire officials are asking the City Council to approve a separate e-911 dispatch center at the police station, a plan county officials oppose.
About 60 people attended, touring the detention and dispatch facility and participating in an open discussion afterward.
E-911, like caller ID, identifies the location of a call and speeds emergency response. For the past two years, a plan was in place to locate e-911 and all dispatching at the city police station. That decision was reversed in November with a vote of the 911 committee after two city members of the joint city-county committee refused to vote and abruptly left the meeting.
The Havre City Council will decide within the next month whether to go forward with dispatching in the city, separately from the county, as recommended in a letter to the council written by Havre Police Chief Mike Barthel and signed by Fire Chief Dave Sheppard and city public works director Dave Peterson.
The Hill County Commission invited Havre City Council members to Thursday's forum. Of the eight members, only Emily Mayer Lossing, Allen "Woody" Woodwick and Pam Hillery attended.
"I was glad to see the good turnout," Woodwick said. "I got some more information from Mike Barthel afterwards" and plan to look at the city building as well.
Woodwick said he noticed that the meeting took place in a question-and-answer format that seemed geared more toward officials than the public.
Former and current city and county officials dominated the conversation, but members of the public did have a chance to ask questions too.
"Why does it matter where it's located?" city resident Robert Morelli asked.
Barthel answered from the audience: "It makes all the difference in the world." Having dispatching at the police station allows officers to stay on the street, where they belong, he said. Otherwise, officers would need to respond to many of the nonemergency situations that dispatchers now handle, including walk-ins.
Morelli observed that helping with walk-in traffic could divert dispatchers from their primary duty.
"You're talking (comparing) apples with apples," Peterson, the city public works director, responded. He pointed out that dispatchers at the jail also sometimes have another duty - controlling jail doors.
The jail requires 24-hour supervision, and during late night hours, there are few jail-related tasks, county officials said. One person could do both jobs, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars over time.
But Sheppard said city police need at the police station all night as well.
"The city has a valid argument in making the same point," he said.
"I don't think we can look at emergency services the way you schedule a business," he added. "All it takes is one call or one situation and all that ... goes out the window."
Retired Assistant Police Chief Mark Stolen spent 16 years at the Hill County Sheriff's Office and 15 at the Havre Police Department.
He recalled when the jail was built in 1999 and dispatching was consolidated there. One dispatcher handled calls for every emergency in the city and county, and that person also controlled the jail. That system failed. The prospect of being an officer on the street and finding dead air was terrifying, and it happened, he said.
The city began its own 24-hour dispatching center in 2000.
Many people expressed concerns that the jail, built with a $4 million bond issue, was supposed to provide a consolidated dispatch center.
Robert Kaul said that as long as taxpayers are paying for the building, dispatching should be located at the jail.
Audience members said they hoped the issue would be settled soon.
"We haven't gotten anywhere in 30 years," said Karen Sloan, a county family planning nurse.

So, its pretty simple. You comment!!! I will comment!!!
