Wind power is already making a tremendous difference in the U.S. – providing clean, affordable, homegrown power to the equivalent of over 10 million homes, and employing 75,000 people across all states. The U.S. wind industry has endured a boom-bust cycle of development over the past decade, though, as a result of the lack of long-term, predictable federal policies. To lay a solid groundwork for wind industry growth, AWEA needs you – and all of your fellow supporters – to become active advocates for the wind industry. Sign up to become a wind power advocate today!
You have elected officials at the local, state and federal level who care about what you have to say – and will factor your opinions into their decision-making. You have the power to speak up and let your officials know what issues matter to the wind industry, and what actions they can take to expand clean, affordable, homegrown wind energy in America.
Guide to wind power advocacy:
Subscribe to elected officials' newsletters: Most elected officials send newsletters to their constituents to inform them of their legislative priorities and upcoming town hall meetings. Visit your Senators' and Representative's web sites to sign up for their newsletters.
Contact elected officials: Constituents are encouraged to call or write to their elected officials. AWEA's action page provides an easy way to e-mail your elected officials regarding the wind industry's top policy priority, the production tax credit (PTC) extension.
Meet with elected officials: Your federal officials have offices both in Washington, DC and in your state. Meeting your officials, or their staff members, in person is a great opportunity to begin to build strong relationships with them. To set up a meeting, you must submit a meeting request letter to your elected official's scheduler. A template meeting request letter can be found here. If you are an AWEA member and you would like assistance in setting up meetings with your elected officials, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Invite elected officials to tour a wind farm or wind energy manufacturing facility: Hosting elected officials at your wind farm or manufacturing facility is a fantastic opportunity to educate them on the wind industry. During the visit, the elected official will speak directly with your staff and gain perspective on the difference that your business is making in the state, and also give you the opportunity to strengthen your relationship with your representative. To set up a tour, you must submit an invitation letter to your elected official's scheduler. A template invitation letter can be found here. If you are an AWEA member and you would like assistance in arranging these tours, please contact email@example.com.
Write editorials and letters to the editor: Elected officials read their local newspapers to take the "pulse" of their constituents, or, in other words, get a sense of the issues that are of most concern to them. Anyone can submit an op-ed or letter to the editor to a newspaper. By submitting an op-ed, you can educate your community about wind power. By submitting a letter to the editor, you can respond to a recent article that ran in the paper – either correcting a false statement about wind power, or expressing your support for an accurate wind energy article. AWEA can help you with writing and submitting pieces to your local newspaper. If you would like assistance in writing and submitting an editorial or letter to the editor, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.
Attend town hall meetings: Your federal officials will sometimes host meetings with constituents when they are at home in their state. These meetings are good opportunities to demonstrate your interest and express your concerns or appreciation about legislation affecting wind energy. The best way to ensure that you are aware of your representatives' town hall meetings is to sign up for their electronic newsletters.
Vote for elected officials who support wind energy: Register to vote. You have the power to cast votes for politicians who support the growth of wind power at the local, state and national levels. In preparing to decide who to vote for, be sure to take the time to read over the candidates' campaign web sites and research their stances on energy issues.
Recruit friends and coworkers to become wind power advocates: Many of your friends and coworkers likely share your interests and values. Tell them about the work that you have been doing to advocate for the expansion of wind power in the U.S. and invite them to get involved too. Your friends can sign up here, and can connect with AWEA on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and AWEA's Into the Wind blog.

thats already been posted before but my guess is its gonna be some of the stuff in the operation blue thunder rulebook some walls, the russian pod and the axis eagle will be first.
Those who dont know the past are condemned to repeat it.
For the time being just but Tamiya 1/48 and Verdelinen scenery kits
Tamiya makes a great Brick Wall/Sandbag/Tank Traps
And verdelien makes all sorts of great 1/48 stuff German Houses,wrecked cobblestone street you name it they probally have it.
I forgot i had one of those Tamiya wall, sand bag, tank trap kits! i guess i have a good reason to put it together now!
i love that this game is scaled 1/48!
Don't play with the grey, have me paint your board games!
Thanks for the info. I did know about the Tamiya set ( which I just picked up the other day ), but I was unaware of the company Verdelien. I will have to look into what they offer and how to get some.
On a side note when I picked up Tamiya set I saw that they also make a box of troops in 1/48 scale and so I picked up a set of german troops which I should have put together soon and hope to make a card for them. as a basic troop type. hopefully I can get some pics up this week of them.

Alexandria Nordic skiing: Cardinals are third, fourth
Beautiful weather leads to successful invitational for AlexandriaBy: Eric Morken, Alexandria Echo Press
The Alexandria Nordic ski team didn't have to worry about mild conditions ruining its chances at hosting its home meet this season.
A year after just getting on snow proved to be a challenge, Alexandria welcomed in 10 teams on a cool and calm morning at the Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center. First-year head coach Jeremy Rapp had a lot of work to do leading up to the race in what is the only home meet of the season in Alexandria.
"I have to give a huge shout out to my stellar cast of parent volunteers for helping make the meet a success," Rapp said. "And a huge thank you to John Morgan of Arrowwood for the great grooming and the countless hours of work to help keep the ski trail in shape."
The Cardinal skiers' only focus was on performing well on their home course in front of family and friends. They did just that with a third-place team finish on the girls' side and a fourth-place finish for the boys.
"My assistant, Taylor Ellison, and I feel good about how our varsity squad did today," Rapp said. "Almost having three girls in the top 10 is a great accomplishment. On the boys' side, we had Carl Branch sneak into the 10th-place position with our three other boys close behind. They've been consistent from race to race, but there is always room for improvement."
Julia Sieling and Melissa Gromatka continued to be the anchors for the Cardinal girls. Sieling set the pace for her team with a fourth-place finish in a time of 24:15. Gromatka was not far behind in eighth place after finishing in 25:03.
Both girls have high expectations this season after coming off state meet appearances as underclassmen. Sieling, now a junior, has two of those trips to state under her belt, while Gromatka is shooting for her second trip this season as a senior.
"They have been great leaders on our team and are not afraid to work hard," Rapp said of Sieling and Gromatka. "As long as they continue on the way they have been going, I believe they will be able to earn a spot in the state race."
Senior Adrianna Wensman followed their lead on Saturday as she finished just out of the top 10 in 11th place. Wensman was just 25 seconds behind Gromatka in a time of 25:28. Lauren Hagstrom rounded out the top four finishers for the Cardinals by placing 26th in a time of 27:16.
Carl Branch paced the Alexandria boys to their fourth place finish by taking 10th individually. The sophomore came across in 21:37, 11 seconds ahead of teammate Pat Flynn, who finished 13th overall. Eric Branch was right behind in 15th place in a time of 21:54, and Cody Call rounded out the top for scorers for the team in 20th place (22:10).
"What I like on the boys' side is that our top four boys, Cody Call, Pat Flynn, Carl Branch and Eric Branch, are very close in time and have been consistent from race to race," Rapp said. "Every race has had a different leader on the boys' side. Although we will be losing our senior captain [Call], I am hoping that they work hard for the rest of the season and into the off-season so that they can be a strong threat next year. Our whole boys' team has great team chemistry and that is something every coach wants."
Rapp feels the whole team has progressed throughout the season, especially some of the young athletes who will be the future of the program. That continued improvement is what this team is searching for as it inches closer toward the Central Lakes Conference meet in Fergus Falls on January 31.
"If I could have videotaped a lot of our young and new skiers on their first week on skis compared to now, there would be a huge difference," Rapp said. "It's fun as a coach to see that improvement. As far as the boys and girls varsity, I like where they are sitting right now."
ALEXANDRIA GIRLS – Third place; Sieling – fourth place, 24:15; Gromatka – eighth place, 25:03; Wensman – 11th place, 25:28; Hagstrom – 26th place, 27:16; Becca Mateer – 27th place, 27:33
ALEXANDRIA BOYS – Fourth place; C. Branch – 10th place, 21:37; Flynn – 13th place, 21:48; E. Branch – 15th place, 21:54; Call – 20th place, 22:10; Dan Finazzo – 45th place, 26:19

Suddenly, I feel very old and out of touch
Whether I like it or not, and I like it not, the times they are a-changin
and like the elves, perhaps it is time that I and my generation departed this Middle-earth…
Did my plan to beat the recession work?
On 15 December I shamelessly asked people to retweet a post: Re-Tweet this post – it's part of my plan to beat the recession. The underlying purpose was to see if I could manipulate my social Klout score and qualify for a business loan. I couldn't.
The post got 15 tweets, 3 LinkedIn shares, 2 G+ shares and 5 Facebook likes – and I thank everyone who responded.
During this period my Klout score rose to its highest ever: 49 – possibly enough to get me an interview for a job as a janitor in a business under administration; but not enough to fool the money men.
Since that time the score has resumed its downward trend, suggesting my natural social score is around 45 (much better than when I opened my Klout account with a score of 30 – at which time Thomas Power of the ecademy social/business network accurately described me as a 'social muppet'). (Incidentally, ecademy was bought by Lyndon Wood last July and is now, even as I write this, morphing into SunZu – The Art of Business.)
69% of my Klout score comes from my engagement with Twitter. Less than 2% comes from Google+, and the rest from LinkedIn. Nothing comes from Facebook because I do nothing with Facebook.
So what can I conclude from this experiment? Well, the simple fact is that my score increased by about two points. The implication, then, is that if I were a more naturally social animal, cultivated Facebook and other networks and told everyone what I had for breakfast despite being hung over from last night's debauchery (which I would have interrupted every two minutes to explain what base I had reached), then I could rapidly become a better business bet. But I would have to maintain this engagement over an extended, possibly continuous, period. Or, as Mary Branscombe said when she kindly commented on the original request:
What a strange world, this world of ours.
Re-Tweet this post – it's part of my plan to beat the recession
In order to beat the recession I need to expand. In order to expand I need a business loan. In order to get a business loan I need to improve my Klout.
No, really.
I went to the bank. No.
I went home, juggled some figures on the business plan to improve the bottom line projected profits and went back. No.
Apparently it has nothing to do with business potential, it has only to do with collateral. That is, I can have it if I can prove I don't need it.
There must be another way. So I checked American Banker and found this in Thursday's issue:
CAN is joining a growing list of companies chasing small business loans by using alternative data sourcing. These companies include Kabbage, which uses social media data as part of lending decisions… Lighter Capital also uses social networking data…
Big Data Comes to Small Business Online Lending
So I checked back into the earlier issues, and found this:
The company [Kabbage] is incorporating social media activity into its analysis now, Frohwein [founder and CEO] says. "We allow our customers to associate their Twitter and Facebook accounts. As our theory goes, the more active you are at keeping in touch, gaining followers, and responding to them, the more likely you're running a solid, growing business and you're worth an additional risk. Or there's less risk associated with you so we can provide more cash or at a lower rate."
The 10-Minute Small Business Loan
So that's the plan; and that's where you come in. Tweaking the bottom line of my business plan no longer works – but with your help I will be able to tweak the bottom line of my Klout score and get the low-interest business loan I so richly deserve. So please use the 'share' buttons below: tweet, like, repost, Reddit, whatever – or all – for this post. Do it for Christmas and the lulz, and I'll still beat the system. You know I'm worth it.

Gregory is professional, knowledgeable, focused, and patient. He gave us the time we needed, we were never rushed. He is detail oriented and made valuable suggestions throughout the process.

The Blitz with Jeff Howe & Karen Guregian
Tom Brady's concerned with playing well, not playoff seeding
It hasn't even been 24 hours and as expected Tom Brady still isn't happy with the Patriots performance in yesterday's 23-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Pats started slow, turned the ball over, sputtered on offense and gave up a chunk of yards to Jaguards quarterback Chad Henne on defense. With their regular-season finale against Miami right around the corner – this weekend – Brady told WEEI this morning, it's about time the team starts to play its best football.
"It wasn't our best game. We've got to do a better job," Brady said. "We've got some pretty important weeks of football ahead, and that's when we really need to play our best. We just came out and got behind early, something you never really want to do on the road, and didn't really do too much to help our cause. That started really from the beginning of the game all the way to the end of the game. I wish we would have played better. We didn't. We're going to try to figure out how we can play better and hopefully go in there and improve this week."
As things stand this morning, the Patriots are still in line to become the AFC's No. 3 seed, but depending on Sunday's results they could be anywhere from first to fourth in the conference. A loss by Houston or Denver and a win by the Pats would mean a bye for Brady & Co.
But the Pats quarterback said he's not concerned with what seed they get. After yesterday, he just wants to see the team play well.
"I don't really care. I [couldn't] care less," Brady said. "I would just like to go out there and play our best football here next week and beyond. I don't care who we play or where we play or when we play or the time or the place or the opponent. It's about us. We've lost four games this year. We were pretty capable of winning all four of those games. If it wasn't for some of our own mistakes that we made, we could have. I'm sure a lot of teams could say that, too. I have a lot confidence in our team and what we're doing. I just hope that our best football is still ahead of us."
Brady, who got hit nine times and sacked three, also said, aside from the normal bumps and bruises, he feels all right.
"That's part of football," said Brady. "That's part of playing. There's 19 weeks we've played. You have those little bumps, but I'll be fine."

The Toyota Avalon has always been big on size and comfort, but not much else. The brand's flagship sedan, however, takes baby steps toward stylish and sporty judging by the 2013 Toyota Avalon, which debuts at the 2012 New York auto show.
At the car's unveiling, Toyota's Group Vice President Bob Carter described CEO Akio Toyoda reaction upon seeing the new Avalon for the first time: "Cool! Don't change a thing." While the 2013 Avalon's primary demographic won't likely call the full-size sedan "cool," the new sheetmetal is definitely a big departure from the outgoing model.
Up front, the lower air dam dominates with its large gaping, trapezoidal grille and chrome-like trim. In sharp contrast is the more subdued upper grille and headlights, which mimic the Camry's overall design. The profile reveals a couple character lines, but the kink on the rear quarter window and the wraparound taillight treatment have a greater visual impact. The rear end features horizontal LED taillights connected by a chrome bar, while a contrasting lower bumper helps break up the Avalon's vertical heft. The wheel wells can be filled with 17- and 18-inch wheels.
Buyers may find the Avalon's interior to be its strongest asset. The unique dashboard design is highlighted by a floating center stack trimmed in a metallic finish. Capacitive buttons and a standard touch screen add a modern touch, while generous amounts of faux-wood and soft-touch materials cover the dash and door panels. Toyota says the dash panels and contrast stitching are handcrafted on sewing machines. Optional features include navigation, a JBL sound system, ambient lighting, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, three-zone climate control, and an adaptive cruise control system.
Toyota says the cabin is quieter thanks to added sound absorbing material, while redesigned side view mirrors, repositioned windshield wipers, and acoustic glass should reduce wind noise. Toyota doesn't cite any changes in passenger room despite a reduction of overall length from 197.6 to 195.3 inches and a 1.7-inch reduction in the rear overhang. Better yet, trunk capacity has actually increased 1.6 cubic feet to 16 cubic feet.
Powertrain details haven't been released, but we expect Toyota's ubiquitous 3.5-liter V-6 engine rated at 268 hp and 248 lb-ft of torque to carry over, as well as the six-speed automatic. Toyota says the body is stronger, while a new suspension includes stiffer springs and sway bars to reduce body roll. The Avalon even features a Sport mode that Toyota claims will enhance throttle response and will adjust the electric power steering system for a more weighted feel (other modes include Normal and Eco). Additionally, steering wheel mounted shift paddles are now offered.
2013 Toyota Avalon pricing hasn't been announced, but the 2012 model starts at $33,955 (including $760 destination). Toyota says the new Avalon is the automaker's first car designed, engineered, built, sold, and serviced in America. Models should reach dealers by the end of this year.

Cast Iron
Benefits of Cast Iron: Read more...
I'm sure everyone has experienced the frustration of not being able to get the temperature right on the stove and ending up with burnt rice or sauteed onions. Or, maybe it was the pan and not really the temperature at all...
Well now there's an easier and healthier way. Cooking with high quality tri-ply stainless steel cookware allows for greater control of the heat distribution.
What is Tri-Ply Cookware? Read more...
Lodge Cast Iron was founded by Joseph Lodge over 100 years ago and the company is still family-owned today. Located in Tennessee, this very small community makes what most consider to be the best cast iron cookware in the world.
For those of you who have tried cooking (and the rewards of tasting!) the delicious food made in a cast iron pan, you know why people treat their cast iron pans with much love. Lately, I've become particularly fond of making frittatas in my 10" cast iron skillet. I love how simple it is to put the skillet directly from the stove top into a heated broiler for the last few minutes of cooking. Here's a recipe from a favorite source, 101 cookbooks. Read more...
Healthy eating isn't only about what foods you eat, but how you prep, store and heat those foods. As you've likely heard by now, studies have shown that preparing, heating and storing your food in plastic containers can adversely affect your health. Bisphenol-A (BPA), which is the main component of polycarbonate plastic, has been linked to many health concerns, including infertility, cancer and ADD. And new studies are starting to show concerns with even BPA-free plastics.
Subjecting plastic containers to heat accelerates the leaching of BPA and other synthetic chemicals into your food. Children are particularly vulnerable since their endocrine and immune systems are immature. Along that same line, pregnant women and women of child bearing age need to be particularly cognizant of BPA's health risks. To play it safe, we recommend using glass containers for baking, microwaving and storing your food. Read more...
Ugh, the choices for safer cooking have been bleak. Teflon's out. I was astounded when I learned years ago that heating Teflon and non-stick coatings to medium and high heat causes enough air pollution to kill a pet bird. Not only does Teflon harm air quality, but its continued use has been linked to numerous health problems, and is harmful to factory workers.
According to Healthy Child, Healthy World:
"In a recent report submitted to the EPA, a scientific advisory board declared perfluoroctanoic acid (PFOA)--a chemical used in the manufacturing of Teflon and other non-stick, stain-resistant coatings--a "likely human carcinogen." Animal research has indicated that high levels of PFOA cause cancer, liver damage, growth defects, and damage to the immune system. Read more...

The Huntsville-Madison County Public Library kicks off a series of dystopian science fiction films with a free screening of "On the Beach" (1959) on Monday, January 28, 2013, at 6 p.m. The film will be shown in the second floor events room at the main branch location.
Directed by Stanley Kramer, this two-time Oscar nominee stars Gregory Peck, Ava Gardner, Fred Astaire, and Anthony Perkins in a story about global nuclear war. Peck plays an American submarine captain who finds a final, but temporary, refuge from the deadly fallout in Australia, where the other characters approach the end of human life on earth in differing ways.
The film is the first in a series called "Future Imperfect," which will run on selected Mondays from January 28 through March 11. Other movies in the series include "Fahrenheit 451" (1966) on February 4 and "Soylent Green" (1973) on February 11.
For more information about events at the library, visit the official website. The main branch of the Huntsville-Madison County Public Library is located at 915 Monroe Street near downtown Huntsville.
Jennifer Garlen writes as the Huntsville and National Classic Movies Examiner. Her book, "Beyond Casablanca: 100 Classic Movies Worth Watching," is now available on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.com.

The lights are on
Microsoft announced a new Karaoke game available this holiday that allows users to stream over 8,000 songs directly through the console.
"Songs can be queued via the top navigation through search, browse or SmartGlass integration, which connects a tablet or mobile device to the Xbox 360 console," Microsoft says. "Songs can be added to Favorites so they're super-easy to find, or can be found through the History list to sing them over and over again. Other options include key change and a lead vocal track to help sing less familiar songs."
An Xbox 360 Headset, Xbox Wireless Microphone or an Xbox 360 compatible USB microphone is required to access all of the features. Songs are added to the library on a regular basis, Microsoft says. Full access to the entire library is available for blocks of 2, 6 or 24 hours by redeeming Microsoft Points.
[Source: PlayXBLA]
if they price it right i can see it being pretty cool, and access to all the songs is the right way to go.
i just think ms is gonna charge to much for this
This needs to be a Test Chamber!
If they can include a huge selection of songs that come free with the game (unlike Rock Band or Guitar Hero) this is gonna be awesome.
Unless they let me sing Cry Thunder by Dragonforce or Perfect Insanity by Disturbed I doubt I'll be getting it.
First the Stand-Up comedy game, now a Karaoke game; pretty soon they'll just make a game which is people going to a bar and hitting on the one decent-looking chick until you black out and wake up in the street.
I would rather pay a more premium price, and just have unlimited access. Pay per play so to speak doesn't really appeal to me very much. But I suppose if it was just something you did once in a while it could be ok. Doubt I'll be using it though.
There are Karaoke games out there (sort of) already that have a library, although smaller, but you only have to pay once for a song and then it's yours to use whenever you want.
sounds cool. I want to learn more about this game!
What happened to that lips thing?
Under what name is this so I may download it? I can add it to my other music games.

Purchased a $20 double deck yesterday which happened to have a Farther Down the Road vol .35 cassette tape inside. After rewiring my computer speakers to run through the deck, I covered the edges of Down the Road with scotch tape and recorded the 52 hertz song from start to finish on both side A and B.
I was worried the low trembling wouldn't sound quite right on cassette, that it would play back too watered-down, but listening to the tape afterwards I was surprised it still has the same strong relaxing effect on me.

Tim Marches On: AOL Turns in Solid Q4 Earnings —
AOL said it earned 41 cents a share, or $35.7 million in net income, in the fourth quarter, which was right on target with what Wall Street analysts had expected. That was a significant rise from last year, when the New York-based Internet portal earned 23 cents, or $22.8 million.
Revenue was $599.5 million in the quarter, which was higher than the $573.7 million investors were estimating. While it was a small total rise of four percent from the same period a year ago, the New York-based Internet giant said its global advertising business was up 13 percent.
That was made up of 17 percent growth in its search business and a 31 percent rise in its third-party ad business, which was tamped down by a drop of three percent in its display ad sales.
AOL's long-declining subscription business of dial-up services fell to $174.2 million, down 10 percent in the quarter from last year.
In addition, the company, which had been buying a lot of its stock back recently, said its board has authorized $100 million more in repurchases, which could happen at any time in the next year.
CEO Tim Armstrong will talk about the Q4 performance in a call with analysts at 5 am PT.
Until then, here's a whole bunch of lovely charts and other info from AOL:

What happens when a woman with an open mind meets a sexy stranger in a bar?
I entered the smoky club and took in the scenery. The place was loaded, bodies everywhere; some of the bodies caught my eye while others did nothing for me. A woman stared at me with disdain, her eyes green with envy. I didn't really care because I wasn't there for her. Besides, women always looked that way at me, although some looked at me differently when I was fingers or tongue deep...Read On

Robert and Coco turn fantasy into reality
"Sexy Coco, I have a fantasy." Robert said as he rubbed my back seductively. "Tell me about it baby." "I want to tie you up, blindfold over your eyes, and make you my sexual slave for hours on end. I will do with you all that I please." He elaborated on his fantasy as his hands drifted down to massage the crack of my ass. "Well, that will have to remain a fantasy, baby, at least...Read On

The onslaught wasbeginning, I know this girl squirts. I've made her squirt, so this will only be a surprise to Robert. I broke the code.

A young woman finds herself missing her traveling boyfriend.
She is intoxicated by his scent as she feels along the contours of his neck, the subtly of his breath caressing her skin. She sticks out her tongue to taste, grabbing a glimpse of what is to come. The very essence of who he is appeals to her. She always regrets every time he leaves, but truly savors his returns. Coco hears the shrill of the alarm, "Damn, another dream, it was...Read On

Click here for story:
22 years ago Lookout Records was my favorite label around. The Queers, Screeching Weasel, Crimpshrine, Operation Ivy, Mr. T Experience and Pinhead Gunpowder were all fave bands of mine, and I dug Green Day in their early days, too. The "Can of Pork" and "Thing That Ate Floyd" comps got tons of spins at the Kopp household. Then later, after my tastes started moving into wilder, noisier, and trashier territories, I was reminded of how cool they once were as they put out records by the Donnas, Hi-Fives, Smugglers, Groovie Ghoulies, Go-Nuts and Phantom Surfers. I hadn't really paid much attention to the label over the past several years, so I was unaware that they'd ceased releasing new stuff back in 2005. Cathy Bauer, one of the owners, was from St. Louis, and booked punk shows alongside myself and others at the Bernard Pub and other local venues.
Sad to see them go. RIP.
I read the goodbye post.
It makes me sad a little.
But I understand.
I don't think I ever bought anything on that label , except maybe The Smugglers and The Go - Nuts , maybe a Hi-Fives CD I played twice , but I don't like seeing any independent (As Oppsed to "INDIE!". Indie Rock is neither.) label go down for the count.
There were many reasons , I'm sure , but people not supporting their local record stores , and the bands they claim to like , by not buying their releases , does'nt help.
Labels were struggling before the internet , too. I understand if people can't afford to buy records , CDs ,etc . , but if others can afford every new idiot device under the sun , I THINK they can spend 8 to 10 dollars on an LP once in a while. Or $15 for a CD (OF COURSE , CDs SHOULD HAVE BEEN MARKED DOWN TO $11 OR LESS , years ago. At least on your Majors and larger Indies , who can EAT money at this point. ).
For its time Lookout was great. Being on the other side of country in late 80's listening to Crimpshrine is something I'll always remember. Cant say I listened to anything after 94 and thats pushing it except for some Vindictives 7 "s
Lookout! was like a gateway for me in the 90's. I still have a Screeching Weasel key chain in my pocket but mostly out of laziness. They had a good run.
Gotta say, as much as my tastes have changed, I still consider OpIvy to be one of my favorite bands. They were the gateway to better music for me. Lookout! may have been dormant for a while, but still sad to see them go for good. Unfortunate.
It's sad when independent labels go bust. I always thought the name and logo were a bit silly, but it was a good reflection of the bands and general sound of the day.
Lookout Records was a big influence for me growing up in the Bay Area. I was too young for the Purple Onion Budget Rock scene, but all-ages pop punk shows were abundant thanks to Lookout's support. I became a huge fan of The Groovie Ghoulies. I remember the excitement as World Contact Day came out and I went to the video shoot for Island of Pogo Pogo. Lookout also exposed me to the Hi Fives, which were the first "retro" band I ever saw. Seeing guys spazzing out with suits and vintage guitars certainly left a big impact.
What no one has mentioned so far was the change in management in 1997 and how that ruined Lookout. Larry Livermore created a defined identity for Lookout Records. With new releases, you knew that the band would fit within the style. When Livermore retired and Chris Appelgren from the PeeChees took over, it was the beginning of the end. Chris' taste was more artsy and open to emo, post-punk and more experimental groups. Gradually, the pop-punk bands were cut and different kinds of bands moved in. Part of Lookout's effectiveness was its judge of taste, but under Appelgren, you couldn't count on a band fitting into the Ramones-y pop punk idiom. I know that at the time, I quickly lost interest in Lookout and moved on to other things.
Yeah, I also dug a lot of the LOOKOUT stuff, Smugglers, Donnas, Phantom Surfers... all are the shit.
Thinking of it, Kepi Ghoulie was just in town, playing solo. But I wasn't, so...
What happens when a label like Lookout goes bust? I mean with most independents that are successful they get bought out and then the majors sit on the back catalogue until some kind of cult revival makes it worth re-releasing some album.

The film by D'Alessio, who lives on a county island near Mining Camp Restaurant, tells the story of a woman in her 40s, Virginia Flowers, who is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. If created, the film would be the first major picture to focus solely on the disease, D'Alessio said.
"Virginia Flowers, a woman lawyer, is very strong, sassy and full of life," D'Alessio said.
"She learns that she has early onset Alzheimer's. It also happens to be the same disease that prompted her husband's suicide one year earlier. After that, she not only has to cope with the disease, but also her daughter and her daughter's criminal boyfriend's plot to take over her substantial assets.
Now, Virginia very boldly rebels against her daughter's schemes and fights her own fears of the disease by running away to these happy places of her past. She escapes several times and goes on this odyssey where she encounters some difficulties and some problems. She's so terrified of losing her freedom and her memory that she's driven to these places of her past."
The character lives in Apache Junction and utilizes businesses such as Saguaro Family Fitness.
"Because I live in the area, I was familiar with it," D'Alessio said. "I figured, 'OK, let me put the character right here.'
"This city does have a lot of character. It has a familiarity. The location makes it a little easier to write. That's why I selected Apache Junction. However, like I said, we may have to move elsewhere because of the tax incentive program. After all, if we can get 20 to 25 percent back on a tax incentive program on a budget that we have , it's a lot to the investors. We can't sneeze at that. We can't get around that."
D'Alessio would not reveal the budget on the record. He said that actress Rosanna Arquette is attached to the project via letter of intent.
Arquette's management did not respond to confirmation requests.
D'Alessio came up with the idea for the film after meeting a woman at his mother-inlaw's nursing home in New Rochelle, N.Y.
"I sat at a lunchroom table with my mother-in-law and several other ladies," he said. "I was sitting next to this lady who was telling us her story about how she'd run away and go hiking up the Hudson River with the Girl Scouts.
After the lunch period had ended and they left the table, I learned this woman had Alzheimer's. I was intrigued by that and some of the ideas she talked to me about became part of the story."
Bronx, N.Y.-born D'Alessio said he had an "a-ha moment" and realized this could be a great story. He said he's been through eight to 10 drafts.
"What we have right now, I think, is good enough to film, although it would depend on the director," D'Alessio said.
"Once the director gets on board, things could change, but the ultimate theme of the story could remain the same."

Please please do not open up the do-not-call lists to additional sales calls of any kind. It has been a godsend to have had the sales calls virtually stop. I do not want pre-recorded calls from anyone with whom I have an established business relationship, or from anyone else. I have an established business relationship with hundreds of companies, and it does not enhance my life to get sales calls from them. Please let me continue to get calls only from those I want. Michael P.S. I've had calls from people posing as people with whom I have an established business relationship, and have come very close to giving away vital information that would have probably resulted in identity theft. The more "established business relationship" sales calls are allowed, the more identity theft there will be.

We're just about halfway through the summer, and it's been as busy as I predicted. It's been about six weeks since I've done a blog update on my writing life. Today, I'll bring you up to speed.
My Trip to Grand Rapids
Back in mid-June, I was flown up to Grand Rapids, Michigan to visit with my publishing team at Revell (Revell is a division of Baker Publishing Group). This was an exciting trip on many levels for me. For one thing, I got to meet all of the people I've been working with over the last four years. I've met some of them at conferences here and there, but on this trip I got to see them all at their desks and meet with them in their conference rooms, doing what they do best.
I also got to spend more time with Gary Smalley, my co-author in the new fiction series I'm working on now. I love Gary, love working with him, and especially love getting to spend time with him face-to-face. Gary and I were there to discuss marketing strategies with the sales and publicity team for our first novel, The Dance, which we've already finished. It will be released this coming April.
We were also there to talk about The Dance and the entire Restoration series with the entire Baker sales team, who had flown in from all over country and different parts of the world to hear all the exciting projects being released in the spring of 2013. At this conference, they released Baker's new spring catalog which featured a two-page spread of our book, including the new cover.
For fans of my previous six novels with Revell, you'll notice a change. While I've written this book with my same writing style, we realize there's a huge audience out there who've read Gary's earlier series with best-selling author Karen Kingsbury. We decided this cover should be something that connects better with them. And since 80% of them are women, well, you get the idea.
But both Gary and I believe, and so does our publishing team, this book will equally bless men and women alike.
Attending ICRS
The International Christian Retail Show (ICRS) launches this week in Orlando, Florida. I'm actually leaving just after I finish this blog post to speak at a luncheon attended by owners and managers of Logos Christian bookstores. I'll be sharing about my latest book, the discovery, and the new series with Gary Smalley. Each of them will receive a signed copy of my latest book.
Tomorrow evening, Cindi will join me at the Baker Publishing Group dinner at Sea World. Then on Monday, I'll be doing a book signing at the Baker Publishing booth in the morning, attending an ACFW press conference, then doing three interviews in the afternoon.
Should be a lot of fun. Cindi and I went to this event back in 2008, just after Revell signed me for The Unfinished Gift. But it hadn't come out yet, and we walked around the huge Orange County Convention Center, our eyes bugging out at this strange new world of publishing on display all around us.
USA Today and FIRST for Women Magazine
We've enjoyed some great publicity opportunities this summer, especially excited about two of them. Just this past week I was featured, along with three other male authors, in a USA Today interview about men who write inspirational Romantic fiction. It would seem we are a rare breed.
Serena Chase, a writer for USA Today, put the interview together and did an excellent job. She's the same writer who gave The Discovery a marvelous review back in May. Click here to read it. I loved the questions she asked us, and really hope this article opens the door for a lot of women who love reading inspirational love stories to give us guys a chance. Click here to read the interview.
We just learned another exciting development. First for Women Magazine has selected, The Discovery, as one of its "Editor's Picks" for an October issue. This could open a very wide door to some brand-new readers. This magazine sells on the checkout stands of thousands of grocery stores, and has a 1.3 million readership.
Personal Update
As I wrap things up, I would appreciate your prayers for some medical issues I'm having. Particularly in my arms and hands. I guess writing eight novels in the last four years has taken its toll, particularly when you type with lousy posture, your hands in the wrong position and on a tiny laptop. I'm going to the doctor soon, but I'm already having to make some serious changes due to some weakness and pain I've been experiencing for the past month.
Thankfully, I can keep up my writing schedule for the books by using voice recognition software. But I'm having to cut back on other kinds of writing like Facebook and e-mails. I can do some, but the voice recognition software doesn't work as well with short bits of info. And I really need to rest my hands as much as possible.
I'll let you know when I know more but, again, would appreciate your prayers.

According to Variety, the Irish actor is in talks with 20th Century Fox to step into George Peppard's shoes for Joe Carnahan's action film.
Bradley Cooper has also been confirmed as in "early talks" to portray Lt. Templeton "Faceman" Peck, a role originated by Dirk Benedict in the '80s series. The Hangover star was linked with the part last month but later denied his involvement.
The A-Team ran for five season on ABC and starred Peppard, Benedict, Dwight Schultz and Mr. T as a group of former US Army Special Forces who become soldiers of fortune.
The movie begins production this August for a June 11, 2010 release.

Nicole Kidman joined her Stoker costars Mia Wasikowska and Matthew Goode in London last night for a special screening. Decked out in a dress from her designer friend L'Wren Scott, Nicole posed for photos both inside and outside of the city's Curzon Soho theater. Having the screening in the UK may have helped Nicole get her hands on the dress — it was fresh of the runway of L'Wren Scott's Autumn/Winter 2013 show that took place in London on Saturday! Stoker is out in both the UK and the US on March 1. Stoker debuted at Sundance last month, though, to quite good early reviews.
Nicole Kidman Embraces Her Dark Side at Sundance With Stoker
Nicole Kidman showed off her wintry chic style in a fitted coat at the Sundance Film Festival premiere of her thriller Stoker on Sunday afternoon. Once inside the screening, Nicole showed off a very formfitting dress on stage. She was joined by her costars Mia Wasikowska, Matthew Goode, and Dermot Mulroney on the red carpet. We got a first look at the movie's creepy vibe when the Stoker trailer was released in the Fall, and last night the audience was finally treated to Korean director Chan-wook Park's latest. Nicole then went on to party the night away with fellow festivalgoers. Nicole is coming right off her glamorous Golden Globes night with husband Keith Urban, though he skipped out on the trip to Park City, UT.
Scarlett and Keira Take a Trip Through Time For W's 40th Anniversary
Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Mia Wasikowska, and Rooney Mara all have the honor of fronting a different cover for W magazine's 40th anniversary edition. Scarlett's repping the '90s, Mia went '80s, Rooney had '70s style, and Keira was modern with a 2000s vibe — see more photos of the actresses in the W anniversary edition. Keira, Scarlett, Rooney, and Mia also did interviews with the publication to chat about style and famous ladies from their assigned decades. Here are highlights from Keira, Rooney, Mia, and Scarlett in W:
- Keira on what she's hated style-wise in the last decade: "I think skinny jeans and micro-miniskirts are very unfriendly. I've been known to wear both, but on some days it seems like they were invented to make you feel bad about yourself."
- Rooney on an interesting '70s celebrity: "Style-wise, the person I'm most drawn to is Ali MacGraw. There was something about her that was very regal but very natural at the same time. We kind of modeled my character in The Social Network after her: I had a crocheted beret that was inspired by the one she wore in Love Story."
- Scarlett on an unfortunate '90s trend: "Turtlenecks — they're horrible. I tried to get into them because they are so practical, but they're just so unfortunate. Men don't like turtlenecks. I've never met a man who likes anything around his neck other than my hands."
Scarlett Johansson and Keira Knightley Get Retro
Four of Hollywood's most intriguing ingénues — Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley, Mia Wasikowska, and Rooney Mara — were tapped to grace four special edition covers of W in honor of the magazine's 40th anniversary. Photographed by Steven Klein, each actress was styled in Fall 2012 pieces meant to represent one of the last four decades: Mara channels the '70s in patterned Prada and an oversize Albertus Swanepoel hat, Wasikowska is utterly '80s in snakeskin-printed Balenciaga, Johansson is the picture of glam '90s in black Dolce & Gabbana, and Knightley — almost unrecognizable with slicked-back blond hair — is a vision of the 2000s in sculpted Chanel.
Accompanying each cover is a Lynn Hirschberg-conducted profile that focuses on each actress's respective decade. "I think skinny jeans and micro-miniskirts are very unfriendly," Knightley says regarding her least-favorite naughts trend "I've been known to wear both, but on some days it seems like they were invented to make you feel bad about yourself." Meanwhile, Johansson has her own strong feelings about a certain '90s staple. "Men don't like turtlenecks. I've never met a man who likes anything around his neck other than my hands."
All four covers hit newsstands Oct. 23. Preview them all here, in the slideshow.

Stoker Trailer: Nicole Kidman Could Use Some Parenting Classes
Think your mom can be kind of mean sometimes? Watch the severely troubling trailer for Stoker and thank your lucky stars she's not crazy-eyed Evie Stoker (Nicole Kidman). We're introduced to Evie as she's talking to her daughter, India, played by Mia Wasikowska. "I can't wait for life to rip you apart," she says as India shivers in the corner. It's not exactly the heartfelt talk you'd expect to get after your father dies, as India's has in the film. The trailer goes on to show Evie getting close to India's uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), which creates problems for the whole family — especially when we learn that Uncle Charlie really has his sights set on India.
Nicole Kidman is a powerful actress, but this one might be too creepy for me. From the sound effects to the digitized spider crawling up India's sock, this trailer had me squirming. The movie is set for a March 1 release, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.
Miu Miu's Crystallized Cameos Are Anything but Old School
This may just be the year of the cameo. Not only did Lanvin offer them up in dramatic medallion styles for Pre-Fall 2012, but now Miu Miu's gorgeous crystallized versions for Summer 2012 have finally hit online and in stores.
Though classic techniques like hand engraving and investment casting were used to create these jewels — and they may be adorned with crystals, brass, and pearls — these cameos are anything but old school. Each silhouetted face comes in a statement-making jumbo size and backed in an eye-popping hue — vivid marigold, tomato red, pink, or cerulean blue.
Watch Mia Wasikowska model a few styles in the campaign video below, then click through to see — and shop — the entire Cammeo Cristal range, priced from $495 to $995.
Shia and Tom Hardy Bring a Double Dose of Hotness to Cannes For Lawless
Shia LaBeouf and Tom Hardy play brothers on the big screen in Lawless, which they debuted at the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, today. The two made a handsome pair at their morning photocall, where they joined their leading ladies Jessica Chastain and Mia Wasikowska. Shia was sporting a well-manicured scruff while Tom has clearly been growing out his facial hair. Jessica has been the belle of the ball at the festival so far, hitting up many red carpets and also promoting Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted yesterday. The film, which was formerly called The Wettest County in the World, has its big red-carpet premiere later on Saturday. The movie was met by positive reviews from the press who checked out the first screening. We had a chance to see Lawless this morning and will be chatting with the cast tomorrow.
We're on the ground here at the festival, so don't miss all of the Cannes celebrity pictures so far and follow PopSugar on Twitter for all of our updates.

Vanity Fair Celebrates Fresh Young Stars Like Rooney, Mia, Jennifer, and Jessica
Rooney Mara, Mia Wasikowska, Jennifer Lawrence, and Jessica Chastain have the honor of being on the very front cover of March 2012's Vanity Fair. It's the publication's "Fresh Young Stars of 2012" issue, featuring 11 up-and-coming actresses. Inside the cover fold, Elizabeth Olsen, Adepero Oduye, Shailene Woodley, Paula Patton, Felicity Jones, Lily Collins, and Brit Marling are also featured. Mario Testino gathered them all together for a recent photo shoot — click through to see the full image of all 11 together!
The last 12 months have been big for each of the ladies, in particular Rooney, Mia, Jennifer, and Jessica. Rooney just scored an Oscar nomination for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, as did Jessica for The Help. Mia's Albert Nobbs got a great deal of award season love, and Jennifer is looking forward to the release of her huge series The Hunger Games. The actresses opened up for the magazine about their careers, childhood crushes, and more. They said:
- Jessica on her superstar crush: "Ralph Fiennes. The English Patient. Of course. Those love scenes!"
- Jennifer on who else she'd like to work with: "I'd love to work with the Coen brothers. Tommy Lee Jones. Jack Nicholson. And I'd love to work with Renée Zellweger. I'm a huge Renée Zellweger fan."
- Rooney on her crush growing up: "Thom Yorke."
- Jennifer on her childhood crush: "When I was little, like '90s era, I had such a big crush on Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC that I almost threw up."
- Mia on someone she'd like to work with: "I just saw We Need to Talk About Kevin, and I'm a huge fan of
Tilda Swinton, and I'm hopefully going to work with her next year. She's one of my favorites. And that movie was probably one of my favorites of the year."
Happy Birthday, Mia Wasikowska!
If you've watched The Kids Are All Right or Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, you'll recognize actress Mia Wasikowska's quietly beautiful face. And, if you haven't — tune in, because Mia's career shows no signs of slowing down, taking the lead in Jane Eyre, and most recently, in Gus Van Sant's Restless, for which the actress made styled appearances at both Cannes and Toronto Film Festival. What's at the forefront of our minds is Mia's quirky-cum-ladylike aesthetic; it rivals Carey Mulligan's ladylike ways, and has us currently obsessed with her perfectly-executed red carpet looks. With a penchant for Rodarte, Jason Wu, Valentino, and basically anything demure with a slightly funky edge, she's quite quickly become one of our favorite young actresses to watch. Since today happens to be the actress's 22nd birthday, we're celebrating with a look at her most memorable looks so far.
