Tips for decorating small spaces include lighting, color and efficiencyA small work space may not constitute that sunny corner office of your dreams, but space can be over rated when it comes to getting work done. Most people have a small work space, which means you have a number of resources and furniture options. Decorating small spaces is no more of a challenge than any other room; you just have to approach the project with a keen eye for efficiency.
The biggest advantage of working in a small space is that you can have everything you need within reach of your own office chair. Storage items can either go outside the workspace or double as furniture. For instance, GMC Designs makes a filing cabinet that doubles as a bench.
Before you begin sketching out your design ideas, make a list of every purpose your work space must serve.
Do you plan to host clients there?
Will you have meetings or an assistant joining you?
Make sure you have enough seating options to accommodate these needs or have a quiet cafe as a backup plan.
Your work station will be the focal point of your small space. If you need a large surface area for certain tasks, consider getting a desk or work table with side flaps that prop up to expand the surface as needed. If you don't require a large surface area, trade in that over-sized desk for something more compact.
If the small space you're decorating gets a lot of natural light, a rustic forest green or bright yellow accent walls will compliment white furniture without making the room feel too small. If you don't have the benefit of a sunny window, you may want to consider a light, small patterned wall paper or neutral colors to make the room feel as large as possible. Neutral walls will give you a modern look, and you can always paint the trim a cool, calming color like blue, grey or green. Keep in mind that white walls can strain your eyes so try to add at least a little color to the space.
Your office chair is the most important piece of furniture in your work space. Comfortable, ergonomic chairs will increase your productivity by helping your posture and fully supporting your back. High backed chairs with flexible backs will make a long day bearable. If you work at a computer, consider an adjustable chair so you can position your monitor at eye level – looking down will cause your neck to ache.
The key to decorating small spaces for productivity is to maximize your comfort. Use lighting, textures and colors to provide a pleasant space to rest your eyes so your mind can focus. Think about the things that inspire you in your work and incorporate these things into your decorations. A few ideas include floral curtains for nature loves, a desk lamp with a patterned shade of palm trees and wall decals of birds in flight or perched by a window.
Throw down a soft, bright rug and sit in your chair for the true test. Can you see the window from your seat? Positioning yourself you're the window is within view will help prevent you from feeling isolated or cramped during the work day.
After decorating your small space, keep a scratch pad handy to jot down notes on design improvements (there are sure to be at least a few). Stopping mid-day to move a shelf will interrupt your work momentum and concentration. Save the notes for the end of the day or week, and shift your furniture or switch to a brighter light bulb as needed.

For more than 40 years, Cliff Crease never talked to anyone in his family about his efforts as a crewman on the Mackay-Bennett, a ship that brought the bodies of 170 Titanic victims back to Halifax in April 1912.
"Our mom knew that he did go out on the Mackay-Bennett after the Titanic sank, but no details," Nadine Wilcox, one of Crease's granddaughters, said Saturday night at an event at the Nova Scotia Archives in Halifax.
But one night in 1955, the Halifax man opened up to his son-in-law, Jack Wilcox, while the two were watching a television show about a newly released book on the disaster.
"It was because of this show that Grampy was inspired to share his experiences with our dad," Nadine told more than 125 people who packed a room at the archives for one of many events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.
"Cliff mentioned to our dad ... that he personally picked up the body of what was to become known as the Unknown Child out of the icy Atlantic waters. At that time he was moved to tears. It did profoundly change his life.
"He had kept this traumatic information to himself for over 40 years. Nowadays they would go through post-traumatic stress counselling. It was not a part of that day. All he could do was not talk about it."
Crease passed away six years later, at the age of 73.
Jack Wilcox made sure that a daily journal Crease kept during the recovery mission made its way to the archives, where it's part of an exhibit called The News Gets Worse and Worse: Halifax and the Titanic.
Nadine and her sister, Rabia Wilcox, enthralled Saturday's gathering with tidbits about their grandfather and passages from his diary, which they described as "concise and non-emotive."
"He did not say how he was feeling at the time," Nadine said.
"The first part of the journal is very neat, clean, dark and strong handwriting," Rabia said. "By the end, it's light and you can't read it as well. It looks like he must have been weary and traumatized."
Rabia said she didn't know anything about her grandfather's Titanic experiences until 2005, when she felt his presence in her bedroom while she was meditating.
"I knew without a shadow of a doubt that it was my grandfather," Rabia said. "I could just sense it. I felt his stout and strong body come toward me. I couldn't see him at all but I could feel him there."
Rabia said her grandfather had a message for her: She would write a book called Under the Titanic, about his work recovering bodies, how such life traumas are passed down through generations and how the experience has affected her.
"We wouldn't bestanding here today if I hadn't received that message from my grandfather," Rabia said.
The two sisters are looking forward to Tuesday, when they will have lunch with Carol Garoff, a descendant of the Unknown Child, who was finally identified a few years ago as a 19-month-old British boy named Sidney Leslie Goodwin.
Garoff will be visiting Halifax on a cruise ship.
"We're going to meet and hug for the first time," Rabia said. "I'm so excited."

march rolled in with a casual feeling about it. it simply invited itself in and I did not have enough time to write it all down. day in, day out. turbulences of the last few days seem to have subsided into separate corners and the air is easier to breathe now. but I am still cautious. evenings do not blend into mornings anymore. even though occasionally I still find myself eating a kebab out of a plastic bag at five o'clock on the corner of hollywood road. it's just what I do sometimes and that particular sunday, everything was beautiful and nothing hurt.
the flicker of yellow lamps, steps next to buddha bar. those first questions that eventually lead to something. I emerged in the morning, not really knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised to find myself in surroundings that are everything but unknown to me. I waited for the sunrise at a street crossing, looking up. rain falling softly down, turning my hair moist and curly. the blinding darkness and deafening silence. things that do not exist and yet we feel them because we want to. ninety seven, seventy one. searching for an understanding, acceptance. anything that could make me feel less alone. alone vs. lonely. I am having one of those debates with myself; it's one of those that nobody can win. silence of that sunday morning sealed all of my emotions into pavement. instead of guilt, I felt calm. it had been a long time, still. I expected nothing. five days went by.
filmmaker is a constant in a way that makes me feel grounded, less disoriented. almost like hearing a familiar voice after a long time of separation. despite being always in a room of full people I cannot help but feel isolated. it isn't the question of belonging anymore, it's more about where I would rather be. I like to sit down for a drink at joyce's after work because we don't even know how long they are going to be there now. it's the regular cycle. every two years things change, places disappear, people move on. I like standing in the middle of it all. perhaps, I am moving along with everything else as well. at least I hope so.
I went back to the tennis court yesterday. on the other side of the net was someone I would least expect but it was fun. the weather cleared up. clear sky, sunny, warm. I felt a little bit more like my old self. high on life. I thought of my childhood, my grandmother. I sink every time I remember that it was her birthday the other day and I didn't even talk to her. home is always going to be home but what happens when it starts to feel distant and foreign? I walked back to our apartment after dinner and thought of all the strangers I'd met on my three month trip across europe last year. the poet with a missing hand, a girl on the train from bratislava back to prague, people I had talked to on all those bus routes, the crazy bunch of future lawyers I befriended in a city park in zagreb, a boy from aruba who asked me where the closest post office was, the soccer player whom I'd noticed because of his 'i heart singapore' t-shirt. I had to talk to him; the idea that he might have been in hong kong as well excited me. I thought of them all and wished that's how everything could be all the time.
careless but full of life.

Olaf Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Sup guys, I'm WarZeeker and I've achieved Level 30 about 3 months ago, and since I scored 43/5/7 in Summoner's Rift (Classic) with Lee Sin on his free week in August 30 (was about lvl 28 at that time), I've decided to Unleash some of my builds on my favourites champions. Nevertheless, I thought my Lee Sin build is too good to release it as my first published build. So that's why Olaf shalt be the champion who I'll right about. I want to show 2 builds in Olaf, since every guide that has been written here just dosen't seem to me that they are quite good at all. There are some that are quite impresive, but I disagree with them. I can assure you, use this builds (map choseen has a lot of influence which we will discuss later) and you'll success with Olaf right away.
Ps: I know I will be talking alot about Atma's Impaler, but just keep on reading or get to the item discussion section, when I bring up B CLeaver.
Pros / Cons
Lots of Damage output at all stages of the game
Fun to play with (watching enemies trying to escape thinking they ever had a chance to do so)
Unique abilities
Is no good against assasins (LeBlanc Annie Lee Sin)
Needs pacience to know when to activate your ulti and ur vicious strikes.
Marks / Quintences: 9x Desolation
Armor penetration is what all of this, first build is actually about. Olaf's huge damage output comes from the fact that with his items, runes, abilities and masteries combination grant him. This is why: first of all, as u all know, armour reduces incoming physical damage by x%. If your armour penetration is bigger than the targets armour then you deal 100% of your attack damage in basic attacks, or 100% of a ability which deals physical damage. The point here is trying to allways be sure Olaf's dealing full attack damage. This is because, since you have 3 poitns at Havoc (1.5% more damage) and executioner (6% more damage when target is below 40% health), means that Olaf will actually will deal 7.5% more damage!!! WTF OP!!! Now that's the reason why armour penetration marks and quintences. Especially at the beginning of the game, it helps u farm and deal almost full physical damage to even some champions. It will help you get first blood and last minion hit better. Get them.
Seals: 9x Vitality
This means that now your harded to kill, and also it gives Olaf attack damage. This is because since your getting Atma's Impaler (+ 2% attack damage according to max health) and Vicious Strikes (1% of attack damage according to max health) plus the fact that u have 150 more health in masteries (at Level 18) means more attack damage. People also say, why not Armour? Physical carries have alot of damage output. But Olaf is great against people who dont have alot of burst damage. I picked per level, since I take Atma's late game, and vicious strikes too.
Glyphs: 9x Shielding
As I said before, Olaf Isn't good against assasins. This is because Olaf's greatness comes from his capability to deal tons of damage without dropping his health bar below 20%. This is because, if your patient enough, you will activate Vicious Strikes + Ragnarok + Youmuus combined with his passive, and no carry, fighter or whatever they are, will ever be able to get your health bar down. I'm not talking about killing you, I'm literally saying that they wont be able to drop that health bar down. Except for an assasin. This is because, since they have alot of burst damage, they can drop that (when u risk to be at 20% health to have alot of damage output with Olaf's passive) health bar to 0% in 1 second. This is why I pick magic resist per Level, to keep them from doing that less effectivly. Per Level since they are more effective end game, which is when u have everything which is neccesary to risk yourslef to be at about 20% health.
Summoner's Wrath: as I said before, Olaf is all about armor pen. Since Exhaust makes the target's armour get reduced by 10... do I really have to keep on writting about why to get it?
3 attack damage. A little more damage is always good.
6% attack speed. Nicee.
10% armour pen. For those rammus mother fu$/*% who keep stacking armour up to about 400 armour (na just kidding, I love rammus, his my main tank).
4% critical chance and 10% critical strike damage. Loving it.
1.5% more damage. Never been happier.
6 armour penetration. More armour pen fu*$ yeah.
6% more damage when targets are below 40% health. OMFG this is gona get nerfed.
6 more magic resist. Nice against mage assasins.
2 more armour. Nothing impressive here.
108 Health at Level 18. More hp and more damage.
30 flat health. Nice early game, and again, more damage.
Skill Sequence & Explanation.
Passive - Berserker's Rage: For each 1% of health Olaf's missing, his attack speed increases by 1%. Massive attack speed boost when in low health.
Q - Undertow: Skill shot that range can be modified depending on how far the mouse is from the champion. Slows enemies. This is a great way to harras your enemies, mostly by the fact that if the axe is picked up, the cooldown is reduced by 6 seconds. Try to use it to hit multiple minions when they come all lined up.
W - Vicious Strikes: Gives flat attack damage, life steal and increases even more attack damage by 1% of Olaf's maximum health. You should take notice that warmog's farmed gives another 450 health, mining that he ends up with about 3900 hp, and more ad.
E - Reckless Swing: Deals tons of true damage at the cost of health. It is the nightmare of squishy targets and low level, low hp targets like TF MF Ezreal Cait etc.
R for Ragnarok: Olaf removes all disables and cant be disabled for 6 seconds. during that period incoming damage is reduced by xflat. Passive: xflat armour penetration. Summarized: You can go kill your enemies with no worries at all. It is very likely you score a pentakill. WARNING: might get a little bit borring killing the wholoe enemy team by yourself.
Summoner Spells
I take flash and exhaust, since Olaf has no blinks / teleports / whatever you call it, so that his chace isnt interrupted by a wall, or his escape (not likely to escape with Olaf since people fear you). Exhaust... I have already explained, more armour pen and gives a nice slow debuff to kill enemies easier, or even make Olaf and expert against other melee ad fighters (since they deal less damage).
Other Options:
Ghost: remove flash, yoummus ghost blade and then add a Black Cleaver in its place.
Ignite: Remove exhaust, since the damage out put will be recovered by ignite, nice true damage combo with Reckless Swing.
for this build, I recomend no other Summoner spells.
Doran's Shield: Nice item to open up with, gives health, armour and health regen, which is great for you to spam your Reckless Swing.
Berserker Graves: Since I do not pick any other items that give me a bonus on movement speed (without taking accout yoummus since it is an active), olaf needs boots. I do not recomend mercury treads, since the tenacity is wasted, and Olaf hasnt alot of attack speed at full health.
Youmuus Ghostblade: following the basics of this builds, I've pick Mostly items which give armour penetration. Therefore, I chosed yoummus also because his active combines with his damage output activation combo. If you do not like this item then do not get the boots either. just get 2 phantom dancers.
Starks Fervor / Blood Thirster: Life steal, attack speed, and armour reduction, which also helps other ad team mates. If you feel like you have alot of armour pen, get blood for more damage output and more surviability (more life steal).
Infinity Edge: Olaf needs some flat damage, and this is the item your searching for.
Atmas Impaler / Black Cleaver: Okey here's something new. I've never brought up the Cleaver up untill this point. This is because I recommend more atmas than B CLeaver, and because I had forgotten about this item. It is a quite nice Option. Now that I have thought about it, B Cleaver suits my build better, so do the following: get Cleaver if you still need more armour penetration, and get atmas if u need some armour and more ad.
Warmogs: This is a non negotiable item. Just get it. Tons of hp meaning more damage again.
In a few weeks I will be postin a video about how to play Olaf. Also I will explain why does the map picked to play matters a lot.
Hope you Liked the guide and try not making people cry about Olaf with this build being OP.

A unique set of observations, obtained with ESO's VLT, has allowed astronomers to find direct evidence for the material that surrounded a star before it exploded as a Type Ia supernova. This strongly supports the scenario in which the explosion occurred in a system where a white dwarf is fed by a red giant.
Because Type Ia supernovae are extremely luminous and quite similar to one another, these exploding events have been used extensively as cosmological reference beacons to trace the expansion of the Universe.Left: artist's impression of the favoured configuration for the progenitor system of SN2006X before the explosion. The White Dwarf (on the right) accretes material from the Red Giant star, which is losing gas in the form of stellar wind (the diffuse material surrounding the giant). Only part of the gas is accreted by the White Dwarf, through a so-called accretion disk which surrounds the compact star. The remaining gas escapes the system and eventually dissipates into the interstellar medium. The Red Giant star has a radius about 100 times larger than our Sun, while the White Dwarf is about 100 times smaller than the Sun. Right: Once the mass of the White Dwarf has reached a critical limit, a thermonuclear explosion completely disrupts the star, ejecting its material with velocities up to a tenth of the speed of light. Twenty days after the explosion, when the supernova reaches its maximum brightness, the ejected material has reached a size of roughly 450 times the distance from Earth to the Sun. The enormous amount of light emitted by the supernova passes through the surrounding material before being detected by us, thus revealing gas shells which were ejected by the Red Giant in the last few hundred years before the explosion. These density enhancements were produced either by fluctuations in the mass-loss rate of the Red Giant, or by small recurrent explosive episodes on the surface of the White Dwarf in the final phases of its existence. Credit: ESO
However, despite significant recent progress, the nature of the stars that explode and the physics that governs these powerful explosions have remained very poorly understood.
In the most widely accepted models of Type Ia supernovae the pre-explosion white dwarf star orbits another star. Due to the close interaction and the strong attraction produced by the very compact object, the companion star continuously loses mass, 'feeding' the white dwarf. When the mass of the white dwarf exceeds a critical value, it explodes.
The team of astronomers studied in great detail SN 2006X, a Type Ia supernova that exploded 70 million light-years away from us, in the splendid spiral Galaxy Messier 100 (see ESO 08/06). Their observations led them to discover the signatures of matter lost by the normal star, some of which is transferred to the white dwarf.
The observations were made with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES), mounted at ESO's 8.2-m Very Large Telescope, on four different occasions, over a time span of four months. A fifth observation at a different time was secured with the Keck telescope in Hawaii. The astronomers also made use of radio data obtained with NRAO's Very Large Array as well as images extracted from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope archive.
"No Type Ia supernova has ever been observed at this level of detail for more than four months after the explosion," says Ferdinando Patat, lead author of the paper reporting the results in this week's issue of Science Express, the online version of the Science research journal. "Our data set is really unique."Evolution of the Sodium line in the spectrum of the supernova SN 2006X as a function of time since the supernova's maximum light in the blue. Four of the spectra were obtained with UVES on ESO's VLT and one with HIRES on the Keck. The spectra are shown with respect to a relative velocity and have been normalised to their continuum. In each panel, the dotted curve traces the atmospheric absorption spectrum. Credit:ESO
The most remarkable findings are clear changes in the absorption of material, which has been ejected from the companion giant star. Such changes of interstellar material have never been observed before and demonstrate the effects a supernova explosion can have on its immediate environment. The astronomers deduce from the observations the existence of several gaseous shells (or clumps) which are material ejected as stellar wind from the giant star in the recent past.
"The material we have uncovered probably lies in a series of shells having a radius of the order of 0.05 light-years, or roughly 3 000 times the distance between Earth and the Sun", explains Patat. "The material is moving with a velocity of 50 km/s, implying that the material would have been ejected some 50 years before the explosion."
Such a velocity is typical for the winds of red giants. The system that exploded was thus most likely composed of a white dwarf that acted as a giant 'vacuum cleaner', drawing gas off its red giant companion. In this case however, the cannibal act proved fatal for the white dwarf. This is the first time that clear and direct evidence for material surrounding the explosion has been found.
"One crucial issue is whether what we have seen in SN 2006X represents the rule or is rather an exceptional case," wonders Patat. "But given that this supernova has shown no optical, UV and radio peculiarity whatsoever, we conclude that what we have witnessed for this object is a common feature among normal SN Ia. Nevertheless, only future observations will give us answers to the many new questions these observations have posed to us."

UFO Sighting in Claremore, Oklahoma on 2017-05-31 14:30:00 - Strange object sitting in sky-went straight up and disappeared-got photo
On wednesday, may 31, 2017, about 3:00 pm, i was in my car going through the braham's drive through waiting to pick up my food. i noticed a very bright object in the sky across the street directly in front of me. it was very high in the cloudy sky and was quite a way away. i am very bad with judging distance. it appeared to me to be a lighted cylinder standing on end and appeared to be still. it looked very large or at least that was my impression.It also appeared that the light from the object was casting a reflection on the clouds around it. i grabbed my phone and took a photo through my front car window. my food came and there was someone behind me who was tapping his car horn for me to go. i pulled around into the parking lot to get a better photo with the car window down and, while i was pulling around, the object went straight up and disappeared in the blink of an eye. i have no guess as to what it could have been. the photo i got isn't great but there is a building in the photo that gives some scale. p.S. i cannot figure out how to find the photo. if there is an email address, i will be happy to send it but this form is not working.

This week's guide contains:
YES, PLEASE: Organos, Jamie Stewart, Dirty Little Heaters, Jews And Catholics, Los Lobos, Hog, Make, Enoch, The Moderate, Lonnie Walker, Cynic, Intronaut, Vampire Squid, Savage Knights
VS.: Will Hoge vs. Dax Riggs
INTRODUCING: Phatlynx
RE-INTRODUCING: The Triangle Blues Society
It's a busy First Friday in Raleigh, with talent stacked between galleries and a slew of after-parties lined up from Jackpot to The Pour House. Tonight's not-to-be-missed music performance belongs to the benefit for Lump Gallery. Organos makes an all-too-infrequent appearance, turning Maria Albani's gorgeous bedroom pop trinkets into slightly more sturdy objects on the stage. What's more, Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart, now of Durham, spins records, while Yuxtapango's Neill Prewitt and guests deliver video and more. $5–$10/ 7 p.m. —Grayson Currin
The acts on this bill cover the full spectrum of rock and electronica, with a solid midpoint, too. At the rock extreme is the attack blues of the Dirty Little Heaters, which possesses a grunge crunch, yet none of the latter genre's self-pity. Reese McHenry is a fiercely confident vocalist, like a focused Janis Joplin. Love Craft, which makes fresh electro-pop ballads, possesses an unmistakable mid-80s radio quality, but the tunes rarely succumb to cliché. Tonight's synthesis of these styles, or their middle ground, is Jews and Catholics, who populate a drum machine landscape with big guitars, rattling upright bass and gothic post-punk swagger. $5/ 10 p.m. —Corbie Hill
Courtesy of the quintet's longevity (30 years and counting) and a deservedly elevated spot in the roots rock world, the word venerable springs to mind with Los Lobos. Versatility does, too—and, yes, variety—as exemplified by the brand new Tin Can Trust, the band's first set of original material in four years. The record sports a couple of prime slices of Latin Americana, an East LA soul song, blues numbers so greasy they leave stains, and a Grateful Dead cover that underscores the guys' abilities as interpreters and jammers, plus a cumbia and a Norteña. The wolf is surviving just fine, thank you. $10–$30/ 8 p.m. —Rick Cornell
The most amazing thing about Einstein's theory of relativity is that it took a genius to realize it. Enoch, the Asheville prong of this evening's metal trident, kicks up dirt clods of guitar fuzz and carves melodic solos through slow tempos that never tire. Chapel Hill's Make winds and warps its psychedelic sprawl with a viscosity dark and heavy enough to slow lightning. And by the end of these two sets of clock-stopping, slow-and-low doom, HOG's headlining stomp should feel like a sprint. Any other night, the Durham trio packs more muscle than speed. But tonight, HOG is a Porsche racing tanks. $5/ 10 p.m. —Bryan Reed
Mixing '90s indie with a healthy dose of rustic classic rock, D.C.'s The Moderate has the goods to please a large swath of fans. Marrying the heady textures of Built To Spill and Modest Mouse to the lithe guitar play of Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Allman Brothers Band, the four-piece cultivates relaxing familiarity without resorting to the stale gimmicks typical of such revivalism. With a slacker rock mumble akin to Spill's Doug Martsch and a piercing drawl that's more like Hank Williams, singer Jim Dempsey carries out nervy soul-searching with magnetic country charm. Titchener Sound Cage opens. $7/ 10 p.m. —Jordan Lawrence
For young touring bands, few Triangle shows are more restorative than a date at Saxapahaw's River Mill, a bit less than 20 miles west of Chapel Hill. In front of an attentive audience in an environment much different than the usual rock haunts, they test the intricacy of every song as daylight fades. Few young touring bands in the Triangle are more energizing than Lonnie Walker, an adventurous six-piece that finds intersections between the loquacious and angular indie rock of Pavement and Modest Mouse and the wiry twang of old country records. Frontman Brian Corum kicks and screams about growing up and looking for wisdom, while one of the sharpest supporting outfits in town adds requisite muscle and flair. Between legs of a big bicoastal tour, Lonnie Walker gets a comforting country welcome, and Saxapahaw gets a late summer jolt. Donations/ 6 p.m. —Grayson Currin
Though Cynic's progressive metal has long felt too flimsy to me, the Los Angeles band's sense of adventure, generally impeccable playing andsense of hook ultimately make them an interesting alternative to the death-lock rigidity of Between the Buried and Me. Tonight belongs to Intronaut, though: Their 2008 LP, Prehistoricisms, is as agile as it is relentless, twisting time signatures, directions and tones but never allowing for the possibility of escape. One can only hope this woefully overlooked outfit, currently finishing its third LP, nabs a few new ears in this opening slot. Also, Relapse's Dysrhythmia. $13–$15/ 7:30 p.m. —Grayson Currin
Nightlight bills this four-band bill as its jazz night, but it's essential to note that these acts see that only as the beginning: Kentucky's Vampire Squid, for instance, blends cabaret-like theatricality, subversive funk and wild improvisational forays into something Mike Patton fans might fancy. Crowmeat Bob's Savage Knights bend, cut and tessellate genres, too, always making ecstatic, urgent music that moves from being an atmospheric blur to having absolute borders without notice. Also, Carrboro's Phantascist and New York's Prehistoric Horse. $5/ 9:30 p.m. —Grayson Currin
From: Nashville, Tenn.
Since: Mid '90s
Claim to fame: A soulful blend of heartland rock and alt-country
Will Hoge's an artist who'll sneak up on you. His slightly gruff blue-eyed soul croon made him a natural for the majors; no surprise, then, that his first two albums are full of forgettable polished, melodramatic pop that splits the difference between Modern Rock and Adult Contemporary. Since departing Atlantic for Rykodisc, though, he's found his stride, exploring a roots rock style that's part Bob Seger, part Marc Broussard. His latest, The Wreckage, scales back the emoting and meandering ballads in favor of more twang-inflected bite and bristling tempos, elevating him from pap radio pretender to burgeoning alt-country contender. With Megan McCormick and the DeBonzo Brothers. At THE POUR HOUSE. $9–$12/ 10 p.m.
From: Austin (by way of Houma, La.)
Since: 1990
Claim to fame: Fronting sludge metal experimentalists Acid Bath and swamp rockers Deadboy and The Elephant Men
Dax Riggs' broad stylistic palette and inborn idiosyncrasy have served him well. While his songs are constructed from familiar elements, they move in a distinct manner, blending hard rock muscularity, bar-band boogie and psych-rock adventurism. His arch muffled vocal delivery suggests Marc Bolan, giving the music a certain swagger. This stuff's not particularly hooky, but it possesses enough restless abandon and pugnacious punch to inspire most rock fans. Riggs doesn't immediately win your heart, but rather he entices you with eccentricity and wears away your resistance with sturdy throb. The rich character of Riggs music outlasts Hoge's more nascent rock sophistication. At CAT'S CRADLE. $12/ 9:15 p.m. —Chris Parker
When it came time for the Second Annual Instro Summit this past spring at The Cave, Chris "Crispy" Bess had a simple idea. Bess, the wild-man lead slinger of instrumentalists Killer Filler, would gather an able crew of local music veterans to honor North Carolina native and rock 'n' roll legend Link Wray—just with a twist. "We wanted to have a Link Wray tribute band with all fat guys," says drummer Dave Perry. "So that's what [Phatlynx] is—a bunch of fat dudes playing Link Wray songs."
Hefty or no, Bess and Perry, along with Robby Poore and Groves Willer, certainly honor the music's trademark overdriven sound, which paved the way for rock 'n' roll guitar. Wray may never make it into the Rock Hall of Fame, but the rumor mill will forever credit him with the invention of the power chord. If that weren't enough to secure his place in the canon, his 1958 hit "Rumble," a ragged two-minute drag, was banned from a slew of radio stations for being too suggestive, despite being a wholly instrumental number. It's that loose, rude rock attitude that the men of Phatlynx channel every night they invoke the spirit of Link Wray—in the name of fat dudes with musical chops everywhere. With Eszett and Blood Red River. 10 p.m. —Ashley Melzer
When Josh Preslar took the reins as president of the Triangle Blues Society at the start of the year, he had goals both immediate and long-term. The first order of business was to resurrect the TBS monthly newsletter, getting previews, reviews and interviews out to the organization's 400-plus members. A project that's gaining steam under the direction of board member at large (and blues musician/ historian/ visual artist) Th' Bullfrog Willard McGhee is the creation of a Heritage Trail to celebrate significant blues-related spots in the Triangle and beyond, from Floyd Council's poorly marked resting place in Sanford to Durham's pair of Blind Boy Fuller plaques. And two of the biggest goals are constants. According to Preslar, who leads the Josh Preslar Band and tours with Houston-based blues singer Diunna Greenleaf is to "educate the community on the blues." The other is to raise funds, enabling the TBS to do things like send the winners of the local Blues Challenge (slated for Sept. 25 at the Berkeley Cafe) to the international competition in Memphis and to put a proper headstone on Council's grave.

Buzz Out Loud
Ep. 1395: BingTorrentGoogle starts censoring torrents sites in their search and Facebook denies rumors of a Facephone, which means it exists! Hulu is looking at becoming an online cable operator and we drool over Sony's PSP2 announcement.
Today's Thursday January 2. When you -- I'm Donald bell com Brian's song love the buzz out loud podcast of -- determine a link episode thirteen 95 Molly. She's kind of lost her voice if you've heard her collectively each day. He is falling apart her voice box needs a little repair so -- little break he sounds it will for primitive days. But nobody really that's pretty that's -- -- -- -- I think though that the fact is that MacWorld opens today. The official floor. And I think that might have also been wife she's a little sick when you have all that Apple love flowing into the streets -- -- just felt like Kryptonite there -- only a matter of time it until she can't take it anymore. -- -- -- mission which -- of that site she should be back tomorrow. If not on. We'll see what happens but you know. The voice thing she gave me a day off when I had that had eight. And -- very angry mean so -- -- I can write they had the right -- -- Donald bell -- -- how things are coming out your welcome always ecstatic to be here always. Okay so let's get the stories over -- on the big thing everyone was expecting Sony to unveil something gets you relate a lot of us thought it might even -- Sony Ericsson phone. On that actually did not get any mention -- all but what we did see was the first look and specs. Of the next gen of Sony's next and portable they're calling it the -- and portable everyone's referring it to as their PSP two but -- the harder on here is really. -- -- For -- hardcore gamers let me just jump into it. You know throughout the -- it's gonna have the dual analog sticks and it hasn't five inch OLED display and 950 backed by 44 resolution slept four times. The current PSP -- also come packed with three G connectivity Wi-Fi Bluetooth and GPS. It has a front touch screen back -- booty touch screen and and it also has six axis motion much like the move a gyroscope. Com -- -- tech technology inside of the actual device plus a three axis compass and we also have up front and rear cameras. So that's. This is pretty crazy it's going to be packed and everything under the sun -- -- arm cortex a nine. Four core processor -- anything. So on are -- guys what do you care drugging and are not what you think. I think it sounds amazing but I also feel like this is like this same. Kind -- -- still around like really high and portable media players and PB players that come out right now is like. I don't care how awesome it is people are just so focused on phones right now and Smartphones and gaming on Smartphones that. This is an amazing effort. But it's like if you could if you could talk about how he knows me sold through T-Mobile rates that how you can -- a Smartphone to. People get excited about it I think it's -- though it has three G. Yet has a three G connectivity they did it. This announcement was really -- about specs and hardware showing off some of its capabilities now cookie -- back to lightly thinking inside they showcase games and they touted. They're next PSP is equivalent to PS2 graphics reviewers that -- actually had hands on time with. You know they had demo and chart which is basically one of the place -- -- huge franchise said the level -- were just a tad bit under PS3 -- wouldn't salary -- -- but. About scrap sitting on a portable hand held so farming. You're feeling in my -- I'm as a gamer I'm excited about I criticized I think the thing that Sony does though that might that hurts them long night we know the -- is coming that's going to be more -- consumers. The Nintendo brand is always more consumer but. The dual analog sticks the graphics and the thing I. Who knows how much is gonna cost me it also has -- motion sensors down at at and he's so you know -- -- interoperability with PS3 and whatnot but come. From hardware alone I am excited -- -- -- gamer I'm pretty sure also that some software it's gonna come out native identity -- -- -- -- Potentially life as it does -- -- say analysts say count indictment statement that the IPSec. Devices like this will push. -- -- like Smartphone game style devices further right wing you get for doing this has the only he's been really focused on gaming performance. That competition -- probably never -- the editors -- -- mobile game meaning factors that there so. No pricing we don't -- the battery life on this arm butts. Question what through the Chatham and you guys if you had -- -- now let's say they were both cheaper and -- the original PSP wants that to 49. Back in the day in 20045. And you don't mind is that media right yeah right now so if let's just say they were both -- -- nine what two it would go this is good this is this is the first time a portable console is basically made. Almost the level of real console and its -- it so what you guys say -- room as you mouse. I would have to it would have benefited -- -- been released titles we had with the release -- -- I mean I'm assuming it's going to be out of port three god of war -- where. No uncharted uncharted LittleBigPlanet and that'll be pretty awesome and I also want to know how back. Other reader yet as there intentionally -- that's kind of -- In addition in games. And I can really if I could always been like -- must have high school item -- you know especially if you're gonna have. My three G wireless in Malaysia so that it always texting keeping and communication with -- man. If you're not in that. Eight yet at that point we really feel like you need -- have a Smartphone but you want all the game all the fun all the awesome. I can see this being agreed to -- -- for that crowd. Yet now according to the chat -- it looks pretty unanimous right now PSP two men like pretty hardcore but with some other -- the news that Sony unveiled on that there. Announcements also was that they're -- be announcing a new platform -- PlayStation suite that's gonna allow original PlayStation games to be run on a variety of Android. And health and tablets and that's -- in -- they're you know pushing their content over on obviously Android -- that I stupid. That's more because that they -- -- Sony Ericsson. That Android being that similarly in it and operate as though that's a really good point and so they have that coming they have that. Coming down the line as well and am I know the hardware looks -- it's -- a little bigger than the current PSP 3000. Lighter in weight by them down that's that's that's all the good their -- it'll be available sometime in the holy season. No pricing yet but there's kind of like a little take on the PSP two or they -- -- I think it I think at some ridiculous stuff. Also hot news -- we talked about yesterday. We were. There is a rumor as always that face -- phone might be coming out. FaceBook themselves. Has basically said handle so that no deal has been shut out but -- it is not going to happen here are some of some FaceBook said it's not repeat not develop a mobile phone when a company represented that -- the tech news world today. Everyone's been timeout this you know -- -- -- we said that might be coming out on the NH TC branded phones mobile world congress. We'll see if they come -- -- but basics like you guys are free these stop. So it exists. We'll see it. And of course again that in this guy -- mad that might just got exists the -- or it'll just out of sheer will power the will yeah exactly it. So I don't have forgotten about via and -- -- -- you know at least we have faced looks at the story they say still nothing whatsoever. Now also Hulu. We all of Hulu or some people -- you know -- so -- about it's a little slots that little bit it's not particular pain -- when it first came out I mean everyone was just like. Hulu Hulu Hulu. Now you know because the contents I'm showing up on some like Hulu plus I'm not shown on regular Hulu Hulu plus people not be able to get all that stuff -- I -- regular on Hulu beta that -- on the boot camp so awesome it is that the those like ad free. Everything I everything is so cool now is potentially a -- this I'm really in depth article the Wall Street Journal that you guys should check out. -- -- kind of talk about the evolution of how their company has. Changed over time in what they were -- set out to do in a leadership Hulu management is potentially -- seen. -- Hulu as an online cable operator that would use the web. -- -- live TV channels and video on demand content. To subscribers. Then change the in the like you know blu always wanted to be that revolutionary service. There's a lot of evidence now you know -- timeouts -- that how would you know TV viewership we all know it's going down at the same time. Know the stats say 2% of all video. Period TV Internet wherever consumed now -- 2% of it is online so it's still not that big chunk -- Some of the warning sign that there are worried about is that on in a recent report what is -- -- here. Entry up in last year's fourth -- -- number of people between ages eighteen and 49 that's the sweet spot pretty happy viewing watching any kind of TV and a traditional -- Was down about one point 3% from the previous -- The biggest decline now at least four years at the same time Internet viewing has increased US consumers are watching videos com or TV shows -- this -- 96% up from journal. How many have that the actual content makers about their old systems that there that -- Holding two and there they're part of food they're gonna and they're gonna freak and that viewership -- now on their old model. -- they're talking about -- -- They're they're model change because I'm initially let's see who who's who's the founder -- killers have done processes and -- Austin yes then yes that the bar and -- -- offensive when they first started they were here to be you know a revolutionary service but as they -- in saint Hulu plus was offered -- the concept -- -- will you know we need something different that we're losing revenues and it's changed what I mean who's so purely as a finished thing it's a bloodless revolution could have water that can happen. Is and so on whether this happens or not they'll be interest in -- -- Off. I mean obviously would come on the pricing but. For someone it get it and that the biggest thing as usual in what Hulu has suffered with. Is will the content providers jump while we've all -- we even talked about an iTunes. Subscription back in the day will the content providers jump on and when they don't because they're -- -- to the old model like you say it. That's gonna make them all -- you'll little did the others. I happen is that any people freak out and they're not mean watching TV or Hulu there all the enemy jumping on a Netflix. And then now that the -- that make that in the actual contracts -- -- in the coming up for Netflix. All the content provides me the war on Netflix now from all these content holders. I mean is gonna be ugly and it's gonna changes ambulance can be disappointed in people are gonna be pitched back in the file sharing and having to get stuff illegally but like. The subscription model on -- at the same problem with subscription the subscription model for music is -- Maybe not as much as that amount of content out there pervert -- television isn't as as. You know huge -- -- amount of content out there for music at the same problem which is. You really only wanna pay for like the new thing those handful of shows he really passionate about and other 99%. Of -- I'd say say some epitaph but they'd -- to have to buy -- to see -- property. That does nothing to hazard. Reruns of Colombo I haven't felt when he asked. You you don't wanna pay for -- don't care about that. If there's so much there's the same problem with cable right now which is like you're paying for all the stuff. You're not watching. And -- that -- the price you're paying per month this is ridiculously low it's no longer revolution is just you're replacing one double with a different. And you know your basic pain for some these stations -- ESPN like a lot of you know. There yes in his kind of funny -- these other stations for existing on this -- passes and we're already getting -- -- in order to bypass cable subscriptions. Were buying like four different other services that are equally in the same rights campaign people anyway. The models not changing anytime -- but they're gonna try and do it on the statistic even -- -- little revenue numbers for Hulu and Netflix and reliably talking about Netflix a little later. Who reported revenue more than two -- -- sixty million dollars. Up from 108. Million in 2010. Netflix. Service which jumped in -- still not competing at least from a continents and went with current TV shows but looking to obviously of all there. Netflix which conference on dvds revenues of two point 16. Billion. Dollars last year. He though. You know although the services are different right the thing about it pitching to its paying boom bold. Really I think you have Netflix all Netflix -- to -- -- as their subscriber base continues to grow and we'll talk about the little more of the content providers will flock to them -- The and they -- -- -- -- that we got on every device -- I can I can practically -- Netflix summit toaster now but Hulu is like still like -- we can't get on the TV we can't get on the and we don't and we only admitting -- view the -- the Hulu plus -- which is act. You pay but it's a little more limited than watching the shows you currently wanna watch frustrating thing that path and Netflix is so easy to get it. -- Mac past that are not easy to get -- right now Google. -- a sensor bit torn in rapid chair and others. Google's finally it looks like they have potentially -- -- -- pressure from then PA and RIA this is fun. The search engine now is actively censoring terms including. BitTorrent point you turn you -- it. -- -- -- goblet from its instant auto complete services so. If you guys are searching for these terms whether it's on Google's web page or up in the top and Warner. There's usually an auto filler auto complete or Google instant -- shows those you know. Highest ranking surges into it it won't show anything as your times that -- tech bits are like seven characters -- normally. You see something you don't. I mean if you're sophisticated have to be doing it aren't you already know -- sophisticated enough did to use a different search -- featured artists -- dangerous country. It's gonna be so great under the guise of being like so -- right now I. -- and I can remember at the heart surgeon on this does but you know the thing about this is its. Obviously it's not gonna stop right I mean this is showing an indication that Google is you know -- -- in the US now. Now leaned down to big companies in the corporations that and the you know I mean they wouldn't do that just because -- just for the good of how does that affect you know quote unquote. Google's not streaming in and it is continents for in them they're trying to play nice all the content you have YouTube that they did you have YouTube. Well I mean. I guess the only thing I say this is that is you could you could make a free speech argument where there is like not everything on BitTorrent is. An illegal file train passed around -- lot of artists -- -- distribute their content aren't exactly so I'm Natalie it's kind of like it's kind of an evil main. And they'll be evil company isn't due out by deliberately censor searches for. This particular comic -- guitar -- also increasingly becoming and that what you're saying for music and film freely and -- -- -- people -- releasing stuff just on guitar. We know a K you know we're not gonna play dumb and pretend like open torrent like these towards her the you know have the high you know. The has moral standards that obviously we know all that type of content that is on there. But at the same time it is still a -- -- we beat that the -- in -- show awesome technology to the gap and so. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- You know if they if they get enough -- -- bill -- -- but that completely remove terms arbitrarily. And in some of these other torrents searched I think that may not be as popular. I'm like -- is one of -- Not until he got -- let you can still search those so its its home it's a little suspect of why they're doing certain ones -- it's not -- either -- indicate no motivation exactly and it's it's the studios are right. Google also I'm actually in good news because least. -- -- -- see an action but I'm gonna -- -- there. With tablets coming out with honeycomb. They released their platform preview and -- I believe -- as the -- it was ruled out as well now showing us tennis of the new looks of what we can expect in -- a lot more real Android three point oh. This is very slick stuff com. Definitely -- dramatic design -- it. It looks like it's kind of stepped up into the future just even and I liked the way the menus the clean lines. On your taskbar at the bottom that's that's sitting at the bottom incentive Venus -- -- -- and -- -- a beautiful things about -- is that like you mentioned on the taskbar. Will have -- of those -- like to go back the menu button. And the homeland which would eliminate you know these hardware at the hardware bugs me a lot cleaner design know what -- can think about some of the things that -- seen with. With the latest like releases and looks it looks. Cool I mean I'm excited to see it on the -- -- to be the first to have it. I think that. It is gonna definitely changed the landscape for Android based tablets in -- not having to account for the buttons. And I think in the long run it's gonna make a lot easier. Hopefully for companies to offer inexpensive products that just put this beautiful new operating system on and leave it alone yeah you know instead of having to work so hard to transform. You know Foleo into something that's -- can fill up a tablet space and work. There's me -- acting and also the reason that it's being released out to developers is because it's gonna be apps that can really take advantage of all listen. It actually states -- bat -- and -- theological stuff you have and and hopefully. I mean Google must know that the apps have to be there at that size and for that you know for that customer and -- four. And honey come to really take -- and in -- to compete against the iPad. Yet -- -- mean finally at least we get an Android that's made for tablet some of the cool stuff they see here. Is in the web browser as it actually has tabs open in diet that which gives a lot more of a Chrome feel that I love the -- idea on an actual tablet. Thank you know it's it's -- and I have -- here's this little video running the show some of -- -- -- -- excellent. They go experience the lab with the best in class web -- -- people that -- -- -- antibody and you have what you said this clean interface that people don't have detritus in it because they think it's a. Ran and ran out of the eat it copy paste too for actually reflecting -- You and emails. And get like the different -- email and phase out the iPad there's there's a lot of popping into -- -- and and hopefully it will. But -- That the experience that last year with everyone trying to shove awkwardly -- of Android two point you know 22 point one on to a tablet yeah thank god they've really just. Paying money to the lowest bidder and not until I guess in this -- -- -- the onto that fancy. Don't do it. Yeah if you guys wanna check out any of kind of some of the more nitty gritty details can check out com. Android -- developer website on that in -- breaks down somewhere the features that developers of Android common you know navigate yourself either but. I like -- looks it looks great. Nap and the one thing now that still missing against the iPad obviously the the content -- had they shown how they're gonna have their Google bookstore. The artist John I think -- you and I kind here when I patent Amazon. May be an MP3 -- PT and content delivery but there's no real. ITunes on the tablets I think it's hard it's hard -- -- -- it's I mean I don't know and that's that's one of those things Apple's gonna build the whole onto its and I look. People want to geek out and -- she now downloaded episodes of -- year whatever they want and that's going to be -- much smoother experience on our -- -- -- for like half burnt in Amazon com not Amazon -- -- and break even compete or finally have some sort of all in one ecosystems solution and with -- view the content providers that are out there it's really to me it's either gonna be Amazon that builds it or Sony -- you know that that app that can -- compete with iTunes for alternative Apple and that. Microsoft can do it again anyone who's like really kind of nerdy about this that does not commit to its gonna take empty second -- and how they're gonna wanna get their content. And -- -- on Sunday night that he can go to an Amazon store and download the file and play it back directly on the device without. Apple's you know walled garden of -- -- to actually download and play that MP3 but down for the the user that's coming to devices like tablets -- -- -- ease of use and simplicity. And outlined how to download apps and or to download content -- all that. If it's gonna be a little bit more stretch back and I think that it's a really cool alternative to what Apple's obsolete all right we as we're gonna take a little break will be back talking about Netflix. Well that looks pretty -- here -- themselves will be -- live. Welcome back about that let everybody here with mr. Donald -- and keynote themselves -- -- house. Move it back. Netflix. Very happy just that the recently Q4 2010 earnings report they talked about how many subscribers. They picked up in 2010 adding seven point seven. Million of those subscribers during this past year surpassing its -- -- million subscriber mark in the final hours of 2010. Com. They're going gangbusters. There's discovery are literally nothing you gain means that -- gangsters there's subscriber growth in 2010 outpace its original prediction. A three point six million. It jumped from seven point seven over -- -- a project with the point 68 at seven points. And and -- -- a lot of can be attributed to its newly offered streaming only plan. Which account for more than a third of all -- subscribers that only that looked like it was its successful venture for them out. -- they're they're on every device -- I'm curious -- Yeah I'm I'm wondering how much more growth they have to do -- not have to do but they can do now I mean. It's gonna come down more if if they can it can take that next step would potentially take in what who looted and implement in the Netflix. Meaning meaning -- in the live like more quiet content on the spot at third and the next evolution is thing. Remains now is how well they're doing they can't be doing anything except in in inviting. Them some jealousy and hate -- and that just -- haters out there from other companies other content providers who -- just can be trying to take that money off the table. And it there you know in their QQ four earnings report they just talking about how all their subscribers nearly our nearly three point one. Million arrive in the fourth quarter alone for new subscribers that -- -- but the streaming service. Me it means more money to license content with which means -- Goes hand in hand why I'd think though more content that which. Oh my of that and even if that means that paid you know tedious or whomever again and I hate that -- he jumped out of the Netflix -- -- get some specific piece of content that's not being offered yup -- and also you know -- really -- -- with a company like Netflix button on. Like TV controllers are many factors so it's gonna be about. That's that's a -- but -- -- there. A button on your -- like -- CNET have a button. I wanna look our logo looks like a button we should just be a button is on -- -- Also -- Netflix is Netflix trying to embarrass her eyes -- -- in addition at there -- earnings report Netflix CEO Reed Hastings kind of called out Internet service providers saying it was inappropriate -- to -- -- The costs. On his company -- pay all the costs of delivering streaming -- service to subscribers homes he's -- -- do something about it so obviously. He said it's only fair price is expects some of the -- in which I guess according and they really arts. And he's going to release essentially a list. Of the best performers which ISPs are best at delivering the best and most consistent. High speed Internet traffic -- Internet for streaming Netflix got an ad because -- I -- is this is so much more what people are asking the Internet connection to do for them and this is this is a man I mean. The kind of -- -- fees and and -- have consumers. You know this is only like more inside -- -- it's -- like my -- can be like oh my -- com announces low on Netflix I'm gonna switch providers know they're not let down. -- and a the transparency and audio we've talked about it -- Netflix that makes up its -- there -- somewhere around 20% of all primetime -- especially in Atlanta -- some providers are purposely throttling Netflix traffic. You don't get HD stream -- even though they -- off pretty extreme. It doesn't it it will let everyone now. Let's be transparent idea that in most places you'll need it -- -- -- -- exactly. Well related artists all the same flavor and maximize the -- same players are right -- along we talk about they yum. Verizon iPhone unlimited plans being offered or a limited time. AT&T is going to be tried to prevent customers from defecting com according to reports a -- an Associated Press. They've learned that some AT&T iPhone users unlimited plans when they say they're going to switch over Verizon are being re offered. The unlimited AT&T plan. The afternoon the special you know the of the African country it's like -- speak easy got another -- handshake. A want to go to Verizon so -- according to a report. This does apply its of people who were previously had been limited plants -- -- had to be I guess iphones drivers before June 2010. Before they -- a change their plans on but there. I mean they're gonna do everything they possibly can keep -- divers but. I don't know the man -- mounting black I don't thing Blackberry here. Nokia can -- them -- -- camp up in. Make up for that last revenue it's also when you thought about -- -- -- Blackberry playbook and Smartphones there's an exclusive from boy genius report. Are potentially look keen to run Android. Apps -- So they'll be loaded with apps out of the gate. They're trying to figure out a path. On to see how they can take its existing -- environment on and then using the Java virtual machine running on the playbook to then pump and run Android apps. This in. I don't know how -- look at it its -- if -- properly could be a big -- but it's how often. Yeah I -- I don't -- it actually. Blackberries hold position on this is that they are the secure her answer to the you know. Total lawlessness that and -- -- the democratic base jump on and bring it like it. An emulator that can bring -- Virus -- -- Android apps that you are trying to protect yourself against anyway. I mean that it's in the vehicle featured appeal to brag about but it's also like it's it's it's and say it's against the what they're trying to do not being Android. Gallup also is against like in inflating develop. Developers to make. Specifically for that label and is is -- -- -- it's not. Bad it's it's kind of -- it seems like not. It's a little bit down a little that the low self esteem -- With nothing like -- one delighted that so that when a -- come out to have all these apps already in hand but. And -- it it it themes seemed like a heard them -- -- best -- that they have going for them right now is that they are coming out with an OS that's specifically designed from the bottom up for tablets. -- having. Like that's separate environment -- you can pull -- -- to run apps that were designed for Smartphones. Music is gonna be a bad user experience. I'm there with -- Again I there was yet I have a hard time believing -- but I usually you know that's when something's probably right. Community and everybody -- of this like there's no way Apple's gonna play piano. Separate buttons on the phone for the foreign control. Can hold -- and -- -- no way no way okay we're gonna Obama. Jump ahead the so we can keep things move along give -- some of the crickets. -- we talked unused cores iPad magazine it was going to be announced the -- January 19 it's now looking to be launching at an event. Every second -- -- invites out syllables -- all the details of their subscription based service how this changes the game content specific. Our device is that it was at the -- specific content which my aunts and -- Clubs with an -- at -- -- is at the end. -- -- -- Now all know we're gonna open in its development here and I -- I document game in my back Microsoft on the shipped this is not necessarily sold by -- -- shipped more than two million copies of the windows phone. Seven operating system so basically you know the launch though it once on -- they -- customers that's that the product. Is -- 90%. Brand awareness -- jumped 22 points to 66%. It's it was released so. On you know we we like that again we keep on repeating -- -- like the Windows 7 software it's still needs to get some more features and I'd get up -- -- with the others. Com we said it'll slow we know that's gonna become -- slow -- for them there are now what is it 6500. Applications for windows phone. -- avenues and for the past two weeks -- -- you don't want your own -- how. Happy with an excellent its a -- -- -- is not -- and how the breadth of things you could do with an Android phone. But the things that it does it it's this really polished I can see why that user satisfaction. That you like the -- you like you I own it. Reptiles and everything Alex Laats. I -- Nokia Smartphone market is sharing -- 31%. And operating profits are taken -- -- as well. So the Nokia death watch continues and even if CEOs are kind of testing out of -- yeah. Profits aren't going to be. Dropping market share from 40% 31% never a good thing -- Also for all you people that -- one about the pre ordered details on the rise and iPhone creators are going to be starting. -- -- -- Eastern time on every third line little wraparound who knows how far -- -- -- the lines that I definitely think there will be lines for this one you can get up early in the morning to do that.

IPhone 4168 to eighty they're gonna go all the way back iphone's second gen sixty games are giving you sixty bucks three G for sixteen gigs. 1053 G ass at 32 gigs 160 dollars. So I I was shocked that they were in opera -- for AT&T well that that surprised me.

It's a good thing Heidi Klum has a great sense of humor. Just moments after telling TV Guide Magazine that she definitely wasn't slime-appropriately dressed, the Gucci-clad supermodel was covered in the famous green gunk at the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards on April 2. But a little slime shouldn't rattle the host of Lifetime's Seriously Funny Kids, who has learned to expect the unexpected as part of every workday. "I love the challenge of interviewing 12 kids in a day and not knowing what I'm going to get at the end of the day," said Klum. "You laugh all day because they're just silly. They just dance around the set."
She confirms that her other reality show, which will include hubby Seal, starts shooting in two weeks, but for now Klum is keeping quiet about the details. "You have to wait and see it when it comes out. I always like to do things [first] and then talk about them."
Glee's Kevin McHale, who attended the festivities with his slime-anticipating niece and nephew, told TV Guide Magazine the upcoming "Born This Way" episode brings back the Karofsky storyline, but there may be surprises in store. "It has to do with Karofsky but not necessarily in the expected way. I think how they approached the whole way is unique. It's cool and the number is really nice and strong, the way we do it with the message."
McHale is also excited to have Kristin Chenoweth back (singing the original song "It's 10 a.m., I'm Drunk" no less). "We filmed this number with her the other day and, I have to say, she is a genius. I could have watched her all day. She is so funny. So, she is back in a big way."
If you're waiting to see Jenny Humpries' adventures on Gossip Girl, don't hold your breath. When TV Guide Magazine asked Taylor Momsen when she'd be back she told us, "Not for a while. I'm touring this whole year and they've been so supportive of the band, and allowing me to do it. You can't physically do both at the same time." As for who she'd like to collaborate with musically, Momsen, who admits to being very shy, drew upon a recent moment of awe. "I just saw Steven Tyler walk by! That wouldn't suck."

So says archbishop Fred Hiltz following the recent General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada. This follows the synod's affirmation of a fairly fuzzy sexuality discernment report
In my opinion, the report, as well as the two stories referenced in the title above, here and here, are an exercise in typical Anglican verbosity, sound and fuzzy, signifying nothing.
Rather than a, "watershed moment," the adoption of the sexuality report is more of a sedative, intended to lull existing orthodox members remaining in the organization to sleep. It maintains the status quo in the ACoC which, while not officially endorsing same sex blessings, allowing those dioceses who proceed with them to go ahead unchallenged and unpunished. I believe the liberal leadership and laity in the ACoC is sitting back and sighing with contentment, feeling they have silenced their critics by not adopting an official liberal policy, full knowing that their desires are going to be met anyway.
But the freight train of the liberal Anglican church of Canada is barrelling down the hill, toward the inevitable wreck at the bottom. Lord haste the day!

Stroke risk spikes with declining cognition, researchers say
Older adults with cognitive impairment have a greatly elevated risk of experiencing a stroke, according to newly published research findings.
Seniors who scored lower on cognitive tests administered every three years had a 61% higher chance of having stroke, the investigators determined. Cognitive decline increased stroke risk five-fold in African Americans compared to European Americans. After stroke, cognition began to decline about twice as fast in both groups, and the risk of death increased.
This study differed from most previous work because it looked at cognitive declines prior to stroke rather than after, stated lead author Kumar Rajan, Ph.D., of Chicago's Rush University Medical Center.
The finding has implications for care, as providers might be able to lower stroke risk by addressing cognitive decline. Physical and mental exercises have been shown to slow this decline, the investigators noted.
The study involved about 7,200 adults age 64 or older, who were given four cognitive tests every three years. About 15% of the participants experienced a stroke. Complete findings were published Thursday online and are forthcoming in the American Heart Association's journal Stroke.

The attack on Mulala Yousufzai is a brutal attempt by traitors within political and military leadership to win back the peoples support so that they could spread this American backed war against terrorism to other parts of the country. Previously a fabricated video and an attack on GHQ were used as an excuse to launch military operations in Swat and tribal areas. But then the people awoke to the reality of the game plan of the traitors within political and military leadership.
That is why even after the attacks on Mehran Naval base in Karachi and Kamra air base, traitors within the political and military leadership failed to gain the people's support to extend this American war to other parts of the country. People now know that it is this traitor leadership that has allowed terrorist organizations like Blackwater and terrorists like Raymond Davis to freely move around the country. It is this Remond Devis network planes and execute attacks on military installations and arrange for blaming the tribal Muslims. After the failure of this plan these, traitors within the political and military leadership came with a new and more brutal and evil plan in order to win back peoples support.
They have now tried to slaughter an innocent fourteen years old girl, Mulala Yousufzai, for their evil purpose. If General Kayani and traitors within the political and military leadership were really so concerned to safe guard Islam and so worried against the spilling of innocent Muslim blood then they would have not: kept quiet like a corpse when Prophet (s.a.w) was slandered by America and the West, sold the sacred blood of twenty four soldiers of armed forces, who were killed in Salala, and re-opened the NATO supply line, exposed Muslim men, women and innocent children of tribal areas to drone attacks, handed over Afia Siddiqui, the daughter of this nation, along her children, kept quiet against target killings in Karachi and all over the country and abducted hundreds of people like Naveed Butt, the official spokesman of 0Hizb ut-Tahrir in Pakistan, through their thugs in front of their children such that people run pillar to post in courts for several years in a frantic search to establish the whereabouts of their loved ones.
General Kayani's speech at Kakul on 13 August 2012, in which he stated that "The fight against extremism and terrorism was our own war and we are right in fighting it. Let there be no doubt it, otherwise we will be divided and taken towards civil war" and the statement which he issued on the incidence of an attack on Mulala Yousufzai that "We will fight, regardless of the cost'' makes it clear that traitors within the political and military leadership are using brutal and evil tactics in order to compel the people of Pakistan to consider the so called war against terrorism as American war against Islam, rather they should embrace it as their own war.
Hizb ut-Tahrir appeals to each and every segment of the society that they should denounce this horrific act of terrorism by these traitors within the political and military leadership and Remand Davis network. Hizb ut-Tahrir calls upon sincere officers within Pakistan's armed forces that they should uproot these traitors within the political and military leadership and give Nussrah to Hizb ut-Tahrir for the establishment of Khilafah. Sincere officers your silence is encouraging these traitors and they are constantly hatching conspiracies against this Ummah. Only the Khilafah can bring Pakistan out of this American war and end the American hegemony within Pakistan and its region..

Need help finding a font to continue a tattooSubmitted by Heather Reese on 4 January 2013 - 12:09am
I have 3 of my 4 kids names tattooed on my arm. I want to get the 4th one done, but I can't find the font anywhere. My tattoo artist doesn't work at the place he used to work at, and that is where I found the font to begin with. I asked him if he thought I could get away with going into the place he used to work at, and taking a pic of the font board, or something like that, and he said no. So, I'm on the hunt. Any idea what this is? I used Identifont, and it came up with a similar one (Alys), but it's not exactly the same.
