I interviewed Protomartyr for Metro Times recently; the published story is here. However a lot was cut due to space so here is the extended version of the piece.
Protomartyr throw a weekend-long release party at Marble Bar, release new album The Agent Intellect
The boys from nowhere
By Shelley Salant
Protomartyr are on the eve of their third album's release. The songs on the massive "The Agent Intellect" sound much different than their previous records – darker, more introspective. But they still sound like Protomartyr. They're one of those magical bands that have lots of different kinds of songs, but always sound like themselves.
They've accomplished a lot in their five years of existence: written tons of songs, released two singles, now three full lengths, toured extensively in the United States and in Europe. They've also gotten more international press than just about any other Detroit rock band of our current era. It's been a little exhausting to read how many times they've been asked "What's Detroit like?" "How do you guys feel about Detroit?" (Which is probably something any Detroiter who travels can relate to.) Much has been made of the fact that vocalist Joe Casey started his first band at age 35 with three guys a decade younger.
"I know that that's an angle, and if we didn't have an angle, less people would be interested in us," says Casey. Drummer Alex Leonard jokingly suggests the headline "'Mysterious boring guys release cool album.'" "'Guys From Nowhere Release Music,'" suggests Casey. (While Casey is becoming known for his wit, for the record all the members of Protomartyr are hilarious in their own way.)
"I like to demystify everything," says guitarist Greg Ahee. "This is not glamorous. We're not interesting, we're not cool, and neither is most of the bands you like. But I'm a huge David Bowie fan and he's like the opposite - he's a showman. I can appreciate both ways."
I'm friends with the band and got to hang out with them for a few hours on a recent Sunday afternoon. We traded stories, cracked jokes and talked shop about touring, recording, and other aspects of life in music. Afterwards I am left with the overwhelming sense that they are honestly an incredibly hard working, disciplined band that truly operates as a unit. We spoke extensively about how every member contributes and drummer Alex Leonard joked that they are "like a Ford assembly line." And they write great songs.
It's true that they are all graduates of University of Detroit High School and that until recently the band exclusively wrote all of its songs and practiced in the historic Russell Industrial Center. Their lyrics consistently include local references – who else would write the lyric "The eyes of Kayrouz are upon you?" But cheesy as it may be to say, what really makes them a very Detroit band is their work ethic and humility. They are not now nor have they ever been cool scenesters, and despite all their success they don't act in any way like rock stars.
This summer they performed at a friends' wedding, and had to learn a set of covers and standards. The experience of trying to play "normal" music was informative: "We realized how much we are stuck in our own way of playing," says Ahee. "It's not normal how we play."
They recall the time their friend and local rocker Derek Stanton's father, himself a long time rock n roller, saw them play. "He was like 'That is not how a band is supposed to sound.' I don't think he meant it as a compliment," says Ahee.
But it works. I am reminded of the term Tobi Vail used to describe the music of the Raincoats and Grass Widow: each band has with its own internal logic. Though very different from those bands, in their own way Protomartyr are operating in the same way. Somehow all the elements fit together in a perfect way. It's certainly fair to say their sound is in the extended family of bands like the Fall, Joy Division, Pere Ubu, and Wire, but they have their own thing going on.
I've known these guys for about six years now. Bassist Scott Davidson used to host shows at his house the "No Bummer Zone" in Ferndale, which were renowned for always having an ample supply of Hungry Howie's pizzas. I got to know him going to and playing shows there, and through his record label Leroy St Records. Joe Casey was a longtime friend of the founding members of Tyvek, and I met him when I was in that band for a couple years. I met Ahee and Leonard when they and Casey gave me a ride to Chicago to meet up with the other members of Tyvek to open for Death. Ahee and Leonard immediately bought 24 Hour Energys, which I didn't know existed but seemed designed specifically for a one day trip from Detroit to Chicago and back. They told me they had a band called the Butt Babies, and I immediately told them that that was a horrible name and they needed to change it. They insisted that they were keeping it - that the point was that it was stupid.
"I think the rationale was basically [that] it's the dumbest name we've ever heard so we won't take ourselves too seriously," Ahee explains. "But after a while we just realized that we're never gonna take ourselves too seriously." They've retained this attitude, and it seems to keep them grounded.
Since Ahee and Leonard were friends with Casey, and he had been harboring the idea of starting a band called Protomartyr, it made sense to join forces. Ahee and Leonard played as the Butt Babies, and with Casey singing over them they started calling themselves Protomartyr. Butt Babies played a few shows at Davidson's house, and he joined on bass a year or two in, in a characteristically low-key fashion.
Butt Babies was certainly no Protomartyr, but it did lay a foundation for their modus operandi. "We recorded a terrible sounding record on a computer microphone," recalls Ahee. "But what we would do is write a song a day, and the idea was to do 30 songs and cut 10. And I think that probably informed how we went about things from there on. The idea was, 'Let's just keep working, keep trying stuff and not be afraid to cut it if it's not working.'"
Protomartyr played their first show in 2010 but say they got serious in 2011. At the end of 2011, they wanted to record and called up Hi Bias Studios owner and producer Chris Koltay, whose name they got from the back of the City Center record Redeemer (K Records, 2011). "In a weird way that kick started Protomartyr because we were obsessed with that record," says Ahee. "We were like, 'Let's just record every song we can play. And some we can't play.'" Those songs became the first two seven inch singles and their debut album No Passion, All Technique (Urinal Cake, 2012). But as always, an essential part of the process was cutting the songs that didn't work. Protomartyr are ruthless editors of their own material.
When I finally caught up to seeing their band, they blew me away. I was actually shocked. I immediately told them I loved the band and wanted to book a tour for them. So I booked their first tour - of the West coast, on which they were joined by Turn to Crime. Their excellent first album was getting attention, but they were relatively unknown.
Though this was his first tour performing, Casey used to come along on Tyvek tours. I asked him if those experiences had informed his approach with Protomartyr, and he said that it had "100%. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for touring with Tyvek. Seeing that they had fans singing along in a small town in Poland was just mind blowing. It looked like an adventure. It was a fun time to be just seeing my friends have fun and do it. 'Hey, we can do this too. Tyvek toured the West coast, anyone can do it! You just meet the one cool person in each town and that's it.' Don't worry about if people in Detroit like you, if people in Chicago likes you or someone in New York likes you.
"To see what they did that was good, and what they did that was bad, definitely helped me. I knew I didn't want to be the one person in charge. [We] have no real leader in the band."
"The band is us," says Ahee. "The press definitely focuses on Joe, but when it comes to how we operate and how we write songs, there's no ego there. It's all of us."
"[The band] wouldn't have existed without us being equal," says Casey. "Everyone has a say and everyone does something in the band to keep them busy."
Around the time of that first tour, they were signed to Sub Pop subsidiary Hardly Art, and headed to Key Club studio in Benton Harbor to record their second album Under Color of Official Right, which both greatly expanded their sound and helped them reach a wider audience.
"We always had that local punk community here that was good to us," says Ahee. "But in terms of getting beyond that, it wasn't til other cities that people I didn't know personally would come to our shows. For years I would recognize every person at our shows."
Last winter they returned to Key Club to record their new album The Agent Intellect. For this record their songwriting process had drastically changed. They had moved out of their space at the Russell and into Davidson's basement. "We started to write in that basement and it didn't really feel that good," says Ahee.
It was a big change from their previous environment, in which they wrote all of their songs together. "There's nothing warm about that practice space we had at the Russell," says Ahee, calling to mind descriptions of This Heat's legendary studio/laboratory Cold Storage. "It just felt cold. We didn't have any insulation. Everything [had] reverb; it just sounded gigantic.
"So I bought an acoustic guitar, which is something I haven't owned in like ten years, and I started to write some music stuff at my apartment, and I would bring it [to practice]. Alex would start to do some drum stuff, and that would change it. A lot of it's based on what Alex does because he's got such a unique way of playing drums: he's doing these weird fragmented, really tom-heavy beats. It will change the direction of the songs." Leonard's trademark drum style is in full effect in the opening seconds of The Agent Intellect's second track "Cowards Starve."
I've always privately thought Davidson was the band's secret weapon – his bass lines are the pop element of the band and the songs' foundation. "[Scott]'s like the stability," says Ahee. "Even if I come to him with something that's really complicated and doesn't really work, he'll have a way of molding it into something that's really stable and will drive the song. So if I'm doing something weird and crazy, it'll still sound like a song. The way we write songs now, it would just sound really chaotic and nothing like it does because it wouldn't have that anchor that Scott's bass serves."
"This [method of working] gave us a little more time to figure out what didn't work, because I'd be thinking about it all the time. Which drove me a little bit fucking nuts, cause I'd just be at my apartment being like 'Does this work? Does this work? Does this work?'" says Ahee.
The last piece is the lyrics and vocals. "Sometimes I really wish I could go play videogames or something while they're coming up with songs, but it's important that I'm there through the whole process when they're trying to come up with something cause I'm mumbling and figuring out what sounds good with that," explains Casey. "Then I kind of go back later and figure out words go with it and finesse it so it's not just jibberish. But it always starts out as jibberish."
"A lot of the songs will get kind of reformatted along what Joe's doing," says Ahee. "It's never a case where I have a fully formed song and it stays like that. We've gotten good at all compromising. I think we're all good at realizing that none of us are geniuses and we can all make stupid ideas that we think are good."
Casey has a particular genius for creating or observing great lines and repurposing them in a new context. He generally has a habit of "writing down interesting phrases that [he] hear[s] or read[s] or come[s] up with."
"Your secret lovers exist as numbers." "Here it's cold by law." "Your passive mind that thinks perhaps my ship's come in." "False happiness is on the rise." All lines from the new album, all copies of which are equipped with a lyric zine made by Casey, who also does all of the band's artwork.
"Something Joe's really good at is taking some really small thing that happened or some joke that we made and then just morphing it into something much bigger and making it just apply to something way broader," says Ahee. "It's funny to find out the origin of something."
The new album's first single "Why Does It Shake?", which takes its title from something Casey's mother, who has Alzheimer's, said. Early press about the song says it's about his mother. Casey explains that he did get the phrase from his mom, but in fact it isn't about her and he is applying the phrase in different contexts. "A lot of the origins are weird," says Casey. "That's why I hate describing exactly what a song is about. Cause it's less specific, it's more just like a mix of different things."
"I feel like Under Color was a way different direction than No Passion, All Technique," says Ahee. "The first one felt like a blast of punk. It was a very direct, at times almost garage rock-y record. For the second album I think we threw that out the window, and didn't put any mind into trying to make songs that people could chant to and throw their fists in the air - not that anyone ever did that, much to Joe's dismay. I feel like this one is combining the approach of those two and just tightening it up."
"The first album had a lot of songs about the world being fucked and violence around every corner, and I was reading [Dante's] the Inferno so I was really trying to put that kind of imagery in it - like Hell," says Casey. "So I like to say this one's the Purgatorio. It's the next stage up. It's more about internal - not necessarily bad people - but mental states more than the outside world. That's a cheesy way to put it but that's kind of what I was going for. Whereas the other one's about, 'You can die young,' this one's about, 'You can live a long and happy life, but who are you through the different stages of your life?'
The album builds up to the band's longest song to date: "Ellen," the emotional center of the record. It's the only one so far you could really call a love song – sung from the perspective of Casey's deceased father to his mother.
"It's nothing like anything we've ever written," says Ahee. "It was unclear until we finished it if it would even work. It wasn't until Joe laid down the vocal that it was a song that was good and sounded like Protomartyr. But up until then it was like, this song might be terrible."
Casey didn't have the lyrics totally written. "I said I'd worry about the second part later," he says. "I was like, 'I can probably get away with just Joe Casey-ing it.' But then I was like, 'Fuck, I can't. I'm gonna have to try to sing.'" Casey as crooner.
"[Engineer] Bill [Skibbe] looped the song, and the three of us are with Bill in the control room, and Joe is just singing it over and over again for like 45 minutes," remembers Ahee. "And we were just talking and not paying attention and finally we hear the melody and we're like, 'Oh shit!' It was like the dumb movie biopic moment. 'Do that again!' In the words of Bill Skibbe, 'Song went from shit to hit.'"
"These guys wrote a really beautiful piece of music so I [couldn't] shit all over it," says Casey. "I can't go in there and say my usual nonsense that has some arcane meaning. I wanted it to be pretty emotionally direct." It works.
"We knew first it was gonna be 'The Devil In His Youth,'" he says of the opening track. "I like the fact that it talks about youth and then the last song is about Ellen and beyond death, and then the last song is 'Feast of Stephen' and it's like waking up on another day. The cycle of a day."
"Musically the album is very symmetrical," says Ahee. "The first and last song have very similar chord progressions. And 'Ellen' and 'Cowards Starve' do. It's something that I like to just play with, and it works when it works with what Joe's doing too. I like it to be just a little bit off, cause if it's too perfect it becomes a gimmick and it'd be really stupid."
Their two day record release shows at Marble Bar will be the second and third shows they've played in Detroit this year – far less than years past. These days, a local Protomartyr show is a special event. "I definitely miss being able to play small places and having no one show up," says Ahee. "That was actually fun. But I get claustrophobic, and I don't like playing Jumbo's when you can't move."
(Jumbo's Bar was something of a home base for the band; "Every night at Jumbo's" is the refrain from a song off their first record. For several years, the band hosted annual shows there the day after Christmas, but the last couple years have gotten out of hand – addressed on the new album's "Pontiac 87.")
If all goes well, they hope the spend most of the next year on the road. They laugh their way through tales of almost getting murdered for breaking someone's skateboard in North Carolina, being trapped on a malfunctioning ferry causing all passengers to get massively seasick en route from England to France, and getting robbed in Barcelona. "But I love all this stuff," Ahee assures me. "That's what makes touring great. Not at the time, but looking back."
"Things have changed for the band," says Casey. "There's more people coming out. There's sometimes people singing along, which is disturbing. But you come back home and nothing's changed there." The band's glamorous jobs include working the door at a comedy club and at one of their family's jewelry stores.
The little down time they've had lately is driving them a little stir crazy. "I'm just writing every single day still, just any time I can," says Ahee.
"I view it like a job that I love doing. But any job, there's gonna be parts that are not fun. Especially if you wanna do it long term you can't have the mentality that every part is just gonna be a blast, cause it won't. You'll get disappointed and you'll resent it eventually. So if you treat it like a job that you care about, then the stuff that's not fun you just kind of wash over cause you know it's just an ends to a mean."

Now, the monthly report on the world's weirdest clusters, namely Caribbean and Alaska.
I've never seen clusters like these, but that may only mean that we haven't had maps like these. In the old days they may have been buried in journal articles. If ever there was an argument that clusters don't mean much in the short term, it is here. Not enough to get those Italian seismologists off, since I don't think science applies in Italy. :)
Both clusters continue to progress in a very slow fractal manner. That means the systems are 'rough' in a self-similar sense. The Caribbean is finally breaking out of its small area, and the earthquakes are starting to get into the high 3's. The mechanism is that of a very weird strike-slip subduction slab, since many earthquakes are quite deep.
Alaska has a more understandable mechanism - that of a subduction slab being fed by a strike-slip fault along the continent. We must go with slab pull here. As well, these major fault systems are extremely weak, and are only pinned at a few spots. You can think of them as major landslides ready to go. If we fully monitored such a zone, we would see the few pin spots. As the landslide was progressing, these pins would break. The first ones would create small displacement fields, but each succeeding one would ripple displacement farther out. Finally the last ones would break, creating a total displacement ripple that would bring the failure zone to critical displacement. Then, look out!
The fractal roughness is a measure of the pin density. These zones have lots of pins and the cluster may go on 'forever'. I'm expecting the last major pin in Alaska to break by the end of the year, but plus or minus a decade. :)

Great Gift: Art Homes Frankfurt Calendar 2010
Hi, we are currently printing a great Art Homes Calendar for Protected content .
Please find more information at: Protected content
Frankfurt am Main is widely known as being the dynamic home of international financial- as well as fair and exhibition business. For Frankfurt based Moonblinx Gallery, committed to providing an international forum to 20th and 21st century's
extraordinary photographical art exclusively representing international Photography Artists and Estates, this special town is source and center of its activity: projects are triggered, exhibitions designed, art-works and publications internationally sold and lent. The drive and vitality of the city's residents is subject to daily motivation for innovative projects and ideas. The unique museum-scape with over 60 museums partly lined along the Main-waterside provides an exceptionally versatile platform for cultural activity. Cultural Institutions, Off-Spaces und Galleries display their arts-portfolio. Frankfurt harbours outstanding private collections – patrons and artists innervate the town. Reason enough for Moonblinx Gallery to take a condign view on Frankfurt's distinguished art-collections by publishing ARTHOMES2010. ARTHOMES adds to Moonblinx Gallery's repertory of sophisticated projects, committed to its convention of establishing new
perspectives by operating internationally and contextually: be it the rediscovery of the amazing oeuvre of Polish Master Photographer Edward Hartwig or the conceptual design of the internationally noted exhibition- projects "Jahrhundertmensch" and "Silver Heroes".
For the first edition of the ARTHOMES Calendar-Series focusing on Frankfurt, Moonblinx Gallery operates in cooperation with photographer Karsten Thormaehlen. His portraits display precious new perspectives on the Arts-Buildings of the Main-Metropolis: He provides stunning insights into the multi-dimensional art-scene by selectively focusing on a special aspect of
the art-work's presentation or specific characteristics of the exhibition space.
ARTHOMES grants the art-works new ambient quality, palladium as it were and enables boundless savouring. The current Calendar sets an anacrusis to an international Photo-Series featuring portraits of public as well as private and companies' art-collections provided in Europe's cultural centres.

CHEYENNE - A bill that would let Wyoming voters decide whether to amend the state constitution to deny state recognition of same-sex marriages performed elsewhere has been introduced in the Wyoming House.
A similar bill has stalled in the Senate Education Committee.
Rep. Owen Petersen, R-Lyman, is the main sponsor of the House bill. He declined comment on it on Monday, saying he won't discuss it until it hits the floor.
Focus on the Family Action, a Colorado Springs, Colo.-based evangelical group, has been lobbying in Wyoming in favor of passing the measure. The group has called some Wyoming voters to encourage them to lobby senators to support it.
Opponents of the bill, including the group Wyoming Equality, characterize the proposal as an attack on the gay community.
Existing Wyoming law states that only marriages between a man and a woman may be conducted in the state. However, the state currently is bound to recognize marriages performed in other states, some of which allow same-sex marriages.
Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only states that now allow gay marriage. Thirty other states, including California, which previous banned same-sex marriage, have placed bans on gay marriage into their state constitutions.
Rep. Bob Brechtel, R-Casper, a co-sponsor of the Wyoming proposal, said he and other supporters are motivated by trying to preserve traditional marriage - and not by any anti-gay sentiment
"We're not trying to tell anybody how to live their lives," Brechtel said. "If people want to have some kind of civil union, that's entirely their business. This is not meant to discriminate against any human person."
Brechtel also said: "There is an outgrowth of Judeo-Christian principles and values that has traditionally made families strong. And as one example, we know for a fact that there are social implications in children living without a mommy or a daddy."
Bob Spencer is a spokesman for Wyoming Equality, a group that works on gay, lesbian, transgendered and bisexual issues in the state. He said he believes the measure clearly is an attack on Wyoming's gay community, despite supporters' claims to the contrary.
"That's the same thing that's always said," Spencer said. "And it is an anti-gay thing. Otherwise there wouldn't be an opposition to it."
Rep. Steve Harshman, R-Casper, said he's co-sponsoring the measure because his constituents overwhelmingly support it. He also said the bill is not an attack on the gay and lesbian community.
"We put restrictions on all kinds of things that some folks want to call social or moral issues," he said. "We do that all the time. Societies have always done that."
If the measure comes up in the House, there will likely be spirited debate.
Rep. Pete Jorgensen, D-Jackson, said Monday that he believes that the issue should be left to the choice of the individuals involved. "It is a philosophical position on both sides of the argument, and has no place in a state statute," he said.

(Players listed by team)
Cody Hall, sr., G-MU, 6-foot-3
The second leading scorer in the area at 19.8 points per game, Hall led the Raiders in nearly every important offensive and defensive category, and was a first team All-Tri-Valley League selection. He made an immediate impact from his freshman season, said head coach Cody Hall, and blossomed over the next three seasons. He scored over 800 points from his sophomore through senior seasons, and highlighted his final season with a pair of 30-plus point nights. I honestly believe he was the most versatile player I watched all year, and I had an opportunity to watch some special kids, said Raiders coach Bill Hartman. Hall led G-MU in scoring, rebounding, blocks, steals, deflections, he managed the press, and routinely defended the other teams best player. Throughout his last two years, he had moments of unselfishness, singular athleticism, and always quiet leadership, Hartman said. Hall had 20 or more points 10 times scoring a career-high 33 points against Franklin.
Dan Carlin, sr., Greene, 6-foot-2
Carlin is the type of player who does all the little things, and they add up to one big thing. In Carlins case, that big that was his varied and important contributions on offense and defense. He was second on the team in scoring at 12 points a game, but was also among the team leaders in just about everything else. He does everything you need, and we got some key defensive games from him as well, said Greene coach Jeff Paske. He started to do some things that he hadnt done in the past, and he kind of set the tone for our team taking a charge at the beginning of the year. Carlin was in double figures 14 times this season to lead the Trojans, and was almost a sure bet to score 10 to 15 points night in and night out. He was our most consistent offensive player, and hes one of those typical three-sport athletes, Paske said. Hes good at everything he plays, and he probably would be good in a couple other sports.
Scott Gorton, jr., Greene, 5-foot-11
Gorton was the embodiment of a streaky, dangerous offensive weapon. The final game of the year against Sidney, everything came together for the junior guard. On his way to a career-high 36-point game, Gorton nailed six three-pointers, and finished the season with 48 treys to give him well over 80 three balls for his career. I liked what I saw from Scott the last game, said Greene mentor Jeff Paske. He let the game come to him, and I hope its a good sign for the future. Every few games, Gorton would mix in a red-hot shooting night around his usual 13.3 points-per-game average. He canned five threes and scored 27 against Afton, and in early February, found a home for seven three balls scoring 27 in a tight victory over Unadilla Valley. We ask him to take on a lot for us, Paske said. He had to handle the ball and push the ball up the floor, but he also had to be one of our scorers night in and night out. He understands the game as a coachs son, and he knows our game plans to a tee.

Lifecell review, Lifecell claims to provide people in all in one solution to anti-aging and will make people feel years younger. However, a lot of people are raving about a Lifecell scam that complains that the advertising is faulty and it simply doesn't work. So what are the Lifecell scams about and do any of them hold any truth? Is it truly a scam or is it just other companies trying to put the product down so people will buy their product instead?

Now before proceeding here is the official website link of Lifecell Wrinkle Cream so that you enjoy a risk free trial of Lifecell Wrinkle Cream only from manufacturer, no fake clone producers.
The Lifecell Scam And The Ingredients Used
One common complaint I'm seeing is that people are saying the Lifecell ingredients are actually harmful to your body and health. I've found no claims that this is true and I've yet to find any actual studies that went wrong where people were in fact harmed by this product. So I think we can all safely say that while continuing my research into this Lifecell scam, the ingredients myth can be debunked.
What Are Some Of The Lifecell Cream Reviews?
While everyone has their own personal preferences and while some people that are saying the Lifecell scam is real, I personally like it. It worked for me and I can't account for everyone else who tried the product but I've been personally happy with the product. If you're not happy, I urge you to contact them about this supposed Lifecell scam and ask them questions about it. I'm sure they'll be more than happy to answer your questions.
Does This Lifecell Scam Review Cover The Benefits?
Absolutely! It basically acts as a cream that will make you look younger. The Lifecell anti aging cream goes deep into the pores to clean out any junk and makes your skin look silky smooth. How long it takes for each individual person may vary but I can assure you that it worked for me. Will it work for you? I'm not sure, it may work or you might be one of the people saying the Lifecell scam is real.
How Does This Lifecell Scam Affect The Company?
A lot of people think there's absolutely no effect on them at all and that Lifecell anti-wrinkle cream does exactly what it says it's supposed to do. Now, we all know that every company bends the truth a little bit and doesn't necessarily lie to help sell a product. I wouldn't say the Lifecell scam is fact but I definitely didn't expect my results to come in overnight. I know these things take time and I was patient.
Before and After Image Which Disproves Lifecell Scam Issue
What's The Bottom Line On This Lifecell Scam?
Lifecell all-in-one anti-aging cream may work for you or it may not. The only true way to figure that out is if you try the product out for yourself, it's hard to tell otherwise. It's really hard to say for sure whether the claims of the Lifecell scam are legit or not but I know one thing, it's worked for me and I think it'll work for you too if you simply give it a shot.

This donation is to acknowledge
the person who passed out leaflets at Temple
University. I was inspired to start eating vegan
then, a choice I feel good about every day.
Here is my donation to the matching.
It really is basic: The more people who receive
a booklet, the more lives are saved.
Just One Word: RESULTS!
As you know, Vegan Outreach's singular focus is reducing as much suffering as possible.
Our work together may not get glitzy media coverage, but it does get results!
And we've just seen another amazing indication of these results:
This poll estimates there are 5.7 million adult vegans in the US – more than 7.5 million vegans if you extrapolate to the entire population! (Compare this with the 3 million adult vegans estimated by the poll in 2009.)
More importantly, the poll found nearly half the population "is the audience for good tasting vegetarian foods that fit individual needs." This almost exactly matches the 49% estimated here.
This is the bottom line for Vegan Outreach: Results!
This is why activists across the continent work with Vegan Outreach: Results!
This is why donors contribute to Vegan Outreach: Results!
You can see it in polls and surveys!
You can see it in the daily feedback!
You can see it in the numbers:
Every one of these booklets efficiently and effectively cuts through the billion-dollar lies and deception of modern agribusiness.
Every day, we're swelling the ranks of compassionate, informed individuals.
Every dollar efficiently and effectively provides the animals a voice.
Your contribution creates concrete results!
And today, you can take advantage of the matching challenge put together by your fellow donors to double your donation, dollar for dollar, and multiply our results!
Hundreds of dedicated members have now contributed over half of the $102,000 challenge. You can help us put the full amount to work for the animals!
So please click over to our secure donation page and keep the results coming!
For the animals,
Matt, Jon, Jack, Anne
PS – Every single dollar you can give is the perfect gift: real action and real results!
cousins Tommy and 12-year-old
Simone were totally fearless leafleters at the
mall. Our buddy Steve joined us for a bit. We
all met numerous people who were sympathetic
to the cause, even heard back from a guy who
chose a vegan burger at a BBQ joint because
of the booklet he got on the way to lunch! He
got three hugs and a Guide.
at the prestigious Kenwood Academy
were alert and curious, even at 7am! Some thanked
me in different languages. One mom asked me
for a leaflet, then was happy to take a Guide.
Another mom took a leaflet and said, "Oh
yes, we need to stop the killing."
was freezing and raining all day at Virginia
Tech, but that never stopped a
Vegan Outreach leafleter before. We reached
over 3,000 receptive students and had positive
conversations. One professor said he received
a booklet in the past and it was the nudge he
needed to give up factory-farmed animal products.
860 more people at Lehigh University.
Talked with a student who said he got a booklet
last time, checked out the website, and he's
now a big supporter. Also talked with two professors
who support the work; the poli-sci professor
talked about getting involved!
and Lizeth joined me at the University
of Texas, Pan American, where I broke my personal
college leafleting record – 2,800 Even
Ifs and Compassionate Choices,
and 40 Guides. Lots and lots and lots
of people stopped to ask questions. Catherine
is a professor at UTPA, and she had me give
a PowerPoint presentation to her Human Behavior
and the Social Environment class. I spoke about
the work I do, tips for effective social change,
the arc of the moral universe bending towards
justice concept, and how far we've progressed
in the last couple centuries.
records at both Reedley College
and College of the Sequoias. The number of students
interested in this material at these schools
is staggering. A whole mess of conversations
and many wanting to try more veg food. Many
actively came up to me for a booklet.
an amazing day at LaGuardia Community
College! Chris and I teamed up to reach more
than 1,800 students. We answered many questions
and met many vegetarians and other interested
parties. I even had a guy decide to eat a vegetarian
breakfast when he went to a food cart to initially
order meat! On top of all of that amazing stuff,
a professor of Food Ethics had us speak to his
class! We spoke as to why we are advocates and
answered many questions; I passed out Guides.
It was excellent!
At Daemen
College, I had powerful in-depth
conversations with two separate girls who wanted
to go veg. Another girl came back to Matt with
tears in her eyes, said she read the whole thing
and wants to go vegan. Matt said she made his
feedback at Gateway Community College
and Naugatuck Valley Community College. For
example, one student read the booklet, then
came back to say, "I can't believe this.
This is horrible." He said he would eat
less meat; he got a Guide. Another
student read the booklet and came back to say,
"I never knew this happened. I eat a lot
of chicken, and I feel so bad. I am going to
stop eating meat RIGHT NOW!" Gave him a
Guide and a list of inexpensive, easy
meal suggestions to get started!
At Bemidji
State, a girl took a booklet and
one of her friends said, "If you read that,
you'll never, ever eat meat again," while
the other nodded in agreement.
Compassionate Choices, 16 Guides,
and 12 AMLs
found new homes at Western Kentucky University.
Met many vegetarians and vegans and a number
who are now seriously interested in changing
their eating habits. Even Honest Abe was enlightened!
at Tunxis Community College were
very eager for our information, so there was
lots of good feeling. I met two students who
wanted to go directly to vegan from meat eating.
over 2,000 students at the University
of Tennessee. I had a lot of great feedback,
including one student who said, "I was
dying for a hot dog all day, but after reading
your booklet, I bought the veggie burger."
Another student said she was a vegetarian and
wanted to do more to help the animals, so I
handed her an AML and Guide.
I spoke to a student who worked in a hog factory.
She said, "I only lasted a month there
and I stopped eating meat for a while. All the
pigs sounded like children crying and I couldn't
take it so I quit." I guess the booklet
reminded her how awful factory farming is, because
she is going veg again!

Pakcik Korea review
Feb 6, 2016 | 9:43 PM | 1 awesomeness
Assalamualaikum dan selamat sejahtera.
I don't know what happen to me but I've been watching lots of korean dramas these days. I prefer drama yang you can learn something from it like drama pasal doktor or diseases. But tbh I also watch drama pasal highschooler sebab there's too many eye candies haha sorry I just cant resist them.
As a kpop stan cehhh, I'm used to muka jambu mamat korea so sumpah aku tak kisah pun muka diorang handsome ke apa. What amazed me is macam mana actor yang dah 30++ tu still manage to look hot walaupun kadang-kadang dah ada kedut aww sorry. Paling rabak bila makin tua makin handsome ok apa ni haha
Selepas memikirkan apa nak tulis kat blog so I decided to make a review pasal korean actors yang umur dah 30++ because .... entahlah haha
Jung Ji Hoon or mostly known as Rain. Dia ada berlakon cerita Ninja Assassin. I knew him masa tengok Full House lepas tu terus minat dia lepas tu terus slow slow minat kpop haha kuaja. Tbh Rain is not that handsome but he is so tall and he got amazing figure. He got an aura yang akan menjadikan kau nak tengok jugak dia walaupun dia tak handsome. I almost died when he made a shocking appearance masa MAMA 2013.
So Ji Sub. Muka dah kedut kedut sikit but he got dreamy eyes! Dia ada berlakon kat Oh My Venus and you should check him out. hahahaha tu je yang aku boleh cakap
and I guess our short review ends here. kkeut. XX
This is not kewl

17 December 2015. Thursday 9:02 am.
We are going back to school soon and this is not cool. I havent done any of my homework and this is not cool. I havent study for anything walaupun next year dah nak spm (Al-Fatihah untuk diri sendiri). I wake up late lepas tu benci diri sendiri padahal diri sendiri yang tak nak bangun. I'm still here, stucked between dreams and realities. Stucked between bunch of korean men omg.
TBH this is like my first holiday yang aku memang nak all out punya holiday (haa yang tidur lambat bangun lambat gadget 24/7 berkurung dalam bilik and keep myself away from any people).
This has always been my 'penyakit' even since I'm still small. Dulu lagi teruk ahh for sure but since I got into MRSM I tried my best to talk to people and public speaking semua tu ah. First time masuk tipulah tak gelabah bila cikgu suruh buat presentation cakap depan kelas. Pulak tu semua haram tak nak bukak mulut memang macam tunggul ah kat depan kelas tu.
4 years in MRSM and penyakit tu still tak hilang. Boleh kira anti-social lah kot? Well if you are my schoolmates sometimes you can see me walking alone, eating alone. Its not I dont have any friends to begin with. Its just... pernah time sometime kau rasa kau rimas dengan orang orang kat dunia ni haaa tu ah perasaan dia. I really really need to be alone.
Plus I used to have lagi satu penyakit yang tak suka orang sentuh my things. Masa form 1 aku tak bagi orang duduk atas katil aku kayyy. But then I realised yang we live in one community and we should be more open minded. So I start to give permission to those who want to sit on my bed, touch my phones, look at my locker etc. Tapi bila balik rumah penyakit tu terus jadi balik but its not a problem anyway sebab my parents never touch my things because they understand that we must respect each other's privacy.
This entry is so random hahahahahahahahahahahahaha. BTW I woke up early today huhu.
|This is literally me trying to get rid of all my homework and people

Bowers & Wilkins decided to do something a little bit special at
Sound & Vision: The Bristol Show 2016. We decided that it was time hundreds more people got to experience True Sound, as delivered by the all new 800 Series Diamond.
Bowers & Wilkins was excited to be part of the Bristol Sound and Vision 2016 Hi-Fi show. Our excitement was mainly down to what we were demonstrating – the new 800 Series Diamond. Which meant we were pretty certain that visitors to our acoustically optimised room were going to leave our room smiling.
The 30-minute-long demonstration focused on a number of key technological advances in the new 800 Series Diamond – time would obviously not allow us to list ALL the changes in the new range. The Bowers & Wilkins room proved so popular that our dedicated team ended up doing two demonstrations an hour from 10am until the show closed at 5pm. And still people were queueing outside for a chance to hear the speakers in action. (As we started one presentation the queue outside more often than not already had enough people to fill the next one.)
The demonstration itself started by using the outgoing 805 Diamond, before allowing listeners a direct A to B comparison with the new 805 D3. The dramatic improvement in performance down – mainly in the 805 D3 – to the introduction of the Continuum cone was clear for all to hear, and provided us with the ideal opportunity to talk about this driver in detail.
People then learned about the many years of development work that went into the new series and our continued advancement in the area of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) which allowed us to computer optimise every element of the new range – albeit with the rather large caveat that everything had to sound better, not just measure better.
The real stars of the show, though, were the new 802 D3 loudspeakers, which went down a storm with the many hundreds of people who got the opportunity to hear them. Demonstrating this model was not only great fun, but it also allowed people to hear for themselves the benefits of our approach of using a separate Turbine Head for the midrange enclosure, as well as the improvements to bass brought about by the new Aerofoil cones and the extra rigidity and stiffness delivered by the latest incarnation of our Matrix bracing system.
The 802 D3s delivered an incredible demonstration of what they were capable of – ably supported by the Classé CP-800 pre-amplifier and CAM-600 power amplifiers – with the likes of deadmau5 before finishing with a rather wonderful version of Verdi's Requiem, which gave the listeners a fantastic demonstration of just how these speakers could disappear in a room, and simply deliver amazing sound.
It was a fantastic three days, and many, many people got to experience just how well the new 800 Series Diamond range can perform. As we are fond of saying: Listen and you'll see.
Below is the track listing for the demos, which also went down very well – with the most asked about track being the incredible You Look Good To Me by Oscar Peterson – expect to hear it as a demo in your local Hi-Fi dealer soon.
Ivo Pogorelich – Mozart Piano Sonata – Andante-Adagio-Allegretto
Oscar Peterson You Look Good To Me
Sony Boy Williamson – Don't Let Your Right Hand Know
Deadmau5 – Seeya, featuring Colleen D'Agostino
Georg Solti/Wiener Philharm Verdi: Requiem

It would not be enough. For Andoria, every curl of her mother's lips had to be paid for. Andoria had woken up early, heated the iron in the fire until it glowed, and pressed each pleat of her dress. She had even braided her hair all by herself. Now, she stood perfectly still in a line of restless girls, ignoring the snow that seeped through her shoes and pierced her toes. It ought to be enough. She looked over her shoulder at the corner of the village square where parents and brothers were gathered, waiting for the inspections to end. Her mother stood with remote eyes and a frown. Maybe her father would reward her. The bakery was so close, just across the street. She inhaled deeply: currant cakes.
Finally, Sere Phylos, the Royal Magus, stopped before Andoria. Andoria had never seen anyone look so clean. Though her blonde hair was loose, it was kempt and straight, giving her a dignity that Andoria had seen only in men. The assistant following her had a thin face and puckered his lips frequently, no flaw too small for his disapproval.
Sere stared down at her, but Andoria held her gaze; revealing fear was just an invitation.
"Name," Sere's assistant said.
"Andoria Ioke,"
"Underage for mind consent alone," he murmured. "Will you submit to a mindlink?" His voice was brisk and impersonal. Just another girl in just another village. Something about it irritated her.
"Do I have a choice?" she asked.
His lips tightened. Sere held up her hand before he responded. "Yes. You do." She kneeled, looking at Andoria eye to eye. "Do you know what a mind link is?"
"Where you get to hear my thoughts?"
"Something like that. If you consent, our minds will be connected to each other, and I can see anything inside your head that I want. But you can explore my mind, too. I'm only looking for one thing so I will be fast."
Andoria nodded. "Will it hurt?"
"No." She did not sound like other adults, the lie hovering around the edge of their voices. She sounded like she was telling the truth. "Only if you want to."
"All right. I consent."

Blacklight: Tango Down is a fast-paced first person shooter based in a new fictional universe called Blacklight. Utilizing the cutting-edge graphical power of Unreal Engine 3, Blacklight: Tango Down's near-future setting is brought to life with disturbingly detailed and old-world architecture dripping with modern sci-fi lighting and brightly lit advertisements, an effect that causes each environment to appear both futuristically alien as well as hauntingly familiar.
Blacklight: Tango Down will deliver some of the most exciting multiplayer gameplay available in the shooter category and features numerous gameplay styles and functionality. These modes include traditional formats like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch & Control Point, with other modes being .announced in the build up to launch.
Blacklight: Tango Down will set itself apart from other games by virtue of its incredibly deep customization features. Players will be able to alter and upgrade not only their character through experience gained on the battlefield, but also their weapons. Weapon customizations will unlock as the player gains skill and experience points and will include more basic add-ons like sniper scopes as well as more complex enhancements, such as improved accuracy.
Blacklight: Tango Down is set in the near future and revolves around a special operations military group called "Blacklight." Blacklight is the SECDEF's (Secretary of Defense's) personal direct action team comprised entirely of "Tier One Assets." These elite soldiers are extraordinary operators recruited from all branches of special operations, including Combat Applications Group (Delta), SF, DEVGRU (SEAL), RANGER, and CIA MSP. All combatants are hand-selected and trained specifically to be equipped to deal with fast-moving, ambiguous and unstructured situations. This is the player's role in the game.
Blacklight: Tango Down's near-future setting is not that different from our own time and will appear hauntingly familiar to gamers but also distant enough to be surprising and unsettling. It is a universe that has been overtaken by the exploding speed of technological progress and is left suffering from the unbridled failures that those advances create.
The technological overbuild has created a bleak environment which has transformed once vibrant and familiar cityscapes into dark and endless virtual billboards and danger zones. An ongoing viral epidemic ravages society and the military's drive to control and use of the virus as a weapon has only created more devastating strains. Civilians and governments struggle through ongoing unrest. Order can only be imposed through force and fear.
The military's attempts to weaponize the virus has lead to what some call "Q-Fever" or SIV (Sentient Insanity Virus) and the people it infects are known as SIVs. The virus destroys a person's humanity, transforming them into frightening creatures that are less capable of utilizing tools but far more aggressive and impervious to pain.
Blacklight: Tango Down is set in a universe that is based in Science Fact, not Science Fiction. The future combat technologies and weapons featured in the game are based on the bleeding-edge military developments and breakthroughs of today. Whereas currently, in our real world, these items may exist only in the laboratory or in conceptual designs, in Blacklight: Tango Down, these advanced military tools are deployed mainstream and make up the military reality of the game.
This "science fact" equipment includes exciting new future weapons and support systems, like EMP grenades that disable opponents' electronic visors, Digi-Grenades that distort the optics of enemies, reactive body armor, and widely customizable weapons. The most iconic piece of Blacklight technology is the "Hyper Reality Visor," a head piece that uses its own electronic pulse and nearby electro-magnetic fields to render the world in a new way, allowing soldiers to see what is otherwise invisible.

LONDON (Reuters) - Prices in British shops fell more slowly last month than in August, despite a record drop in the cost of food, but there was little sign of price rises on the back of sterling's sharp fall since June's Brexit vote.
The British Retail Consortium said shop prices overall in September were 1.8 percent lower than a year earlier, compared with a 2.0 percent decline in August.
Food prices declined by 1.3 percent compared with September last year, the biggest fall since the survey started nearly 10 years ago, despite global commodity prices recording their sharpest rise since September 2011.
"Fierce competition is playing a vital role in keeping prices down," the BRC said. "Despite rising global food prices and the devaluation of the exchange rate, shop prices are still showing little sign of nearing inflationary territory."
But with sterling hitting a 31-year low against the dollar on Tuesday as it extended losses made after Britain voted to leave the EU, the BRC expects prices to start to rise soon.
"The low levels of shop price deflation we have witnessed over the last few years will not be around for much longer, and we expect shop price deflation to be closer to zero at the turn of the year," the BRC said.
Britain's broader official measure of inflation, the consumer prices index, rose 0.6 percent year-on-year in August, and many economists expect it to overshoot its 2 percent target next year, bearing down on consumer spending.

Aftermarket Outlook
From an aftermarket perspective the first three quarters of 2016 were down significantly (perhaps as much as 35%), with a slight rebound in the fourth quarter as urgent maintenance activity could no longer be delayed.
As with new unit projections for 2017, a slight improvement for aftermarket activity is anticipated in the new year.
Overall, expect approximately 2100 planned maintenance outages in 2017, an increase of 3% over 2016.
Naturally some gas turbine models will have much greater outage additions than others, due to delays in 2015/16 maintenance activity and other market dynamics.
A detailed, model-by-model view of the aftermarket projects approximately 750 aeroderivative maintenance outages, 740 heavy-duty, and 610 light industrial outages.
Estimated value
In total, over $240 billion in aftermarket activity is projected over the next ten years.

I have CWM v126.96.36.199 on there, so I booted into it and noticed that I never did any backups (another no, no.), so it's seemingly of no use to me. I asked a few people on another forum and was told my only option was to do a wipe data/factory reset, which I did. I needed a fresh ROM install, I was told, and I was provided with the following instructions:
There's a guide to clockwork here. If you can't boot the handset into Android, you'll need to access the SD Card within Clockwork. Boot into CWM again and plug the phone into the PC. Within Clockwork, Select Mounts & Storage, then Mount USB Storage. If this works, you should see an external drive appear in your PC.
Leave the phone for now, then head over to here and download the file called LeeDroid HD V3.2.1 (FTP). Once this has downloaded, place the zip file into the root of the phones SD Card. Once copied, go back to the phone again and head back to clockworks main menu. Select Wipe Cache, let it do it's thing, then Wipe Data/Factory Reset (this probably isn't that important). You then want to head to Install zip from SD Card, Choose Zip and then navigate to the zip file you just copied. Select it, then confirm. Let it do it's thing, highlight Reboot Now and it should boot in to Android!
My problem now is in not being able to access or mount USB storage as I have nothing there. I have the phone connected to my PC via USB, but I can't access my SD card.
I think I really screwed up. Is there still anyway to get my phone working again? I'm completely lost here, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Supreme Court's 'Subsidies'
The Justices erode freedom of association.
Liberals have looked on aghast at the Supreme Court's expansion of Constitutional rights this term—freer political speech, another watershed gun case. There's a certain unfortunate consistency, then, in the fact that one decision liberals are applauding restricts religious and other freedoms of expression.
In 2004, Hastings College of the Law, part of the University of California public system, refused to officially recognize the Christian Legal Society, or CLS, which meant the student group was denied the benefits offered...

Sometime between now and the end of the decade Monsanto plans to launch a new corn rootworm 3 trait that could give corn farmers a much-need additional option for controlling rootworms. The trait will use a relatively new tool called RNAi, a concept first discovered 10 years ago that allows plant to turn off processes as well as start new ones as with more traditional genetic modifications. Monsanto's Robb Fraley discussed the new concept in an interview at the Farm Progress Show.
RNA is the abbreviation for ribonucleic acid, a family of molecules that perform vital roles the expression of genes. The little i stands for "interference." RNAi is being used extensively in pharmaceuticals and is beginning to become part of the gene strategies of companies like Monsanto. Essentially the protein in this corn trait will shut off a key RNA sequence in the rootworm, and it dies.
For Fraley, who is being honored with a World Food Prize next month, new ideas for genetics aren't a surprise, he pioneered techniques to insert new genes into plants and led the team that developed glyphosate-tolerant crops. Yet this RNAi technology has Fraley rethinking his molecular biology background. "This is a phenomenal discovery," he says. He notes that in his early days in molecular biology the thought process was that DNA made RNA which produced a protein. Today, the RNAi concept is gaining ground in new ways - so the DNA makes a specific RNA-interference molecule that triggers a specific effect in a pest, disease or elsewhere.
For Monsanto, they had to characterize the rootworm to find a common gene for the rootworm alone that would be stopped by this interference. It's highly technical, but superbly precise in its application. But that's the nature of biotechnology from the start. It's a much more precise science than in the past and one that has changed the way we farm. RNAi has longer term potential in other ways too, Fraley said in a recent article in Farm Industry News http://farmindustrynews.com/blog/what-excites-leading-biotech-researcher.
The RNAi approach, while in a plant for the corn rootworm 3 gene Monsanto is testing, could be used in spray applications or in other ways in the future, Fraley explains. It could be used to turn on or turn off key traits or actions in a plant to specifically modify production.

Multimodal freight transportation provider, Holt Logistics, has entered into a partnership with the South Jersey Port Corporation for the construction of a new marine terminal in Paulsboro, New Jersey, located at the former Paulsboro BP refinery on the banks of the Delaware River.
The planned 190-acre facility will be the first new multi-purpose marine terminal to be constructed on the Delaware River in over 30 years, and is estimated to create more than 850 permanent jobs when fully completed.
"The Delaware River really has become a rising tide that can create abundant opportunities for new cargo and business growth for the entire region," said Leo A. Holt, president of Holt Logistics. "The Paulsboro Marine Terminal will be a modern, multi-faceted facility that will greatly increase shipping capacity for a full range of commodities."
The redevelopment of the Paulsboro Marine Terminal is directly connected to the planned construction of the new Holtec International manufacturing facility in Camden.
SJPC anticipates completion of a $170 million redevelopment of the Paulsboro terminal by next year. Holt will initially invest in excess of $10 million at the site, which represents the first phase of a private investment. As the facilities and surrounding industrial development areas reach their full potential, Holt anticipates larger investments into the port facility.
The state of New Jersey issued several bonds totaling $170 million to fund land and infrastructure improvements to the Paulsboro site, which previously housed the BP refinery and had been closed for more than a decade while a plan to redevelop the site was formulated.
The completed site will encompass 150 acres of waterfront land, with possible expansion to 190 acres, and 2,600 linear feet of berth on the Delaware River, all of which have been raised above the flood plain to resist operational shutdowns in the event of major storms.
Additional infrastructure improvements to the site include a dedicated bridge and off-ramp that connects directly to I-295, and approximately four miles of rail track on-site.

Nothing is better than the smell of fresh lemons to make a place feel clean, refreshing and sparkling new. One of the best summer hacks is keeping sliced lemons in your water jug in the fridge, but the uses for lemons are practically limitless.
1. Rub a lemon and some kosher or sea salt on a cutting board and set it in the sun to remove discoloration.
2. Shave a couple lemon zests into your garbage to stop odors.
3. Sprinkle a little lemon onto your lettuce to keep it crisp in the fridge.
4. Add lemon juice to your clothes wash, not only for the amazing smell, but for the whitening power.
5. Lemon water also helps combat and prevent heartburn.
6. A little lemon will help take a leftover darker polish stain off your nails.
7. A lemon peel in your brown sugar bag will keep it from clumping.
8. A squirt of lemon not only tastes great, but will keep guacamole from browning.
9. Dabbing your age spots or scars with a cotton ball soaked in lemon juice can help lighten them and make them less noticeable.
10. Lemon makes a natural dandruff rinse.
11. Adding lemon to your diet helps prevent kidney stones.
12. A spray bottle of lemon juice is great for washing fruits and vegetables.
13. Dab zits with lemon juice to clear them up chemical-free.
14. Tarnished chrome comes back to life with a lemon scrub.
15. Marble stains come right up with lemon and salt.
16. A Q-tip with lemon juice can help treat warts.
17. Rub lemon on rust and mineral stained clothes before washing them to pull the stains out.
18. Lemon and vinegar will help get mildew stains and smells out of clothes.
19. Lemons will help get rid of stains on plastic containers.
20. Add a few drops of lemon juice to your humidifier for a refreshing fragrance.
21. Microwave a cup of lemon juice and vinegar for five minutes to loosen microwave crud and deodorize the kitchen.

Led Zeppelin's attorneys in the "Stairway To Heaven" copyright case are firing back at their oppositions attempts to get a judge to order Jimmy Page and Robert Plant to attend next month's trial -- by pointing out that the two had already said they're going to be there.
Page and Plant are being sued for allegedly stealing the opening of "Stairway" from Spirit's 1968 instrumental "Taurus." In a new brief, Zep's legal team says that the petition by Francis Malofiy -- who's representing the trustee managing the estate of the late Spirit guitarist Randy California -- is "a PR stunt in the hope of tainting the jury pool."
The Zep brief points out that Malofiy had already been told that Page, Plant and bassist John Paul Jones, who was dropped from the suit, "fully intend to appear at the trial."
Plant, in fact, has canceled a scheduled appearance at Britain's Meltdown Festival in order to attend.
The plaintiff's motion, Zep's team contends, "is so devoid of merit it can only be seen as playing to the press."
Malofiy has previously said that the case could be settled for $1 and a songwriting credit for California (nee Wolfe) that would insure royalties from all future sales and uses of "Stairway," but Page and Plant have maintained they're not guilty of plagiarism.

By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER
WASHINGTON (AP) — A House committee is recalling a former Internal Revenue Service official who refused to answer questions about the agency's tea party controversy at a hearing last spring. But it's unclear whether she will answer questions this time, either.
Lois Lerner headed the IRS division that improperly targeted tea party and other conservative groups for extra scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. After publicly disclosing the targeting, Lerner refused to answer questions about it at a congressional hearing, invoking her constitutional right not to incriminate herself.
House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said Sunday he expected Lerner to testify at Wednesday's hearing. But a committee spokeswoman said Tuesday she could only confirm that Lerner was expected to attend the hearing.
Lerner's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.

NORCO (AP) — Emergency officials in southeast Louisiana say a fire caused by an explosion at a plant that processes used cooking oil and other material into renewable diesel fuel has been extinguished. No injuries were reported.
The St. Charles Parish Emergency Operations Center reports on its website that fire crews responded to an explosion at the Diamond Green Diesel plant in Norco that occurred at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday. They say the production unit involved has been shut down.
Authorities said air monitoring crews in the area found nothing detectable, and no safety precautions were needed.
Diamond Green Diesel is a joint venture between a subsidiary of Valero Energy Corp. and Darling International Inc. Its website says it produces 9,300 barrels of renewable diesel a day.

64 bit processors gained some momentum when the iPhone 5S was released with one, but the hype died down almost instantly when people realized that it doesn't make much of a difference at all. Yes, the world is moving to 64 bit processing, but a big upgrade it is not. However, Android devices will soon be getting 64 bit processors.
This leaked device is the HTC A11, a budget device in the Desire series featuring a future Qualcomm 64 bit processor. It has a 4.7-inch 854×480 display, a 1.4GHz Snapdragon 410, A 5MP rear camera, and Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Sense 6 on top. This phone just screams low end, and even a 64 bit processor won't help that.
This device does not feature BoomSound or the well known HTC build quality, as manufacturing was allegedly outsourced to CompalComm. This isn't exactly the 64 bit device we were waiting for, but it'll be a decent budget smartphone if HTC can price it low enough. And with the fairly good pricing on its current Desire lineup, I think HTC will put it up at a half decent price point. And if you're thinking of getting one, it should be coming to Sprint here in the US.

So did anyone see the great Micheal V Gerry fight on PrimeTime last night? RTE billed it as the 'who truly is the leader of the Opposition?' gig. But at the end of the day it turned out to be a bit of a damp squib.
As Mary Murphy notes in the pre roll from Katie Hannon, Irish politics is generally geared to winning elections rather than making proposals for better government.
The lack of support for the re-introduction of a household charge from either party has to be a nod to the rural constituencies where suspicion of Dublin government is at it's height…
It's particularly odd coming from Fianna Fail, who first took delivery of the order to levy one from the Troika.
Yet considering they are targeting a lot of rural seats out west where they're looking for a simple differentiator between them and the FG incumbents, who 'stole' them so recently, perhaps not so odd after all.
The debate was unruly at times. But we got a sense of the scale of the battle Fianna Fail is trying to prosecute. Mention of controversial cuts in the Deis school programme is a cut not at Adams, but Labour's Education Minister Ruarai Quinn.
He also got in talking points for the aspirant middle class (who turned away from the party massively in Dublin) with reference to a whole raft high profile US companies and then suggesting that Sinn Fein's wealth tax proposals would cripple the country (which is about the time all hell broke loose).
He also suggested that Sinn Fein's proposed abolition of company group relief as 'Corporation Tax by the back door'. Harsh, possibly unfair, but he got a message across.
In the dying moments of the contest, Adams produced the gift that's been giving for nearly two years now, the reference to Martin's position in power for nearly fourteen years.
But the FF leader flashed back Adams' own unacknowledged role in the deaths caused by the IRA. Not pretty, certainly not original. But probably effective, and in all likelihood endlessly replicable.
Adams still does not do southern politics well. Martin may not be a prize fighter, but Adams looked like a boxer mouthing for air on a couple of occasions.
The lack of detail in his responses an indication that many of SF's arguments are too general, and still a long way from battle ready.
The end was scrappy for both men. It may have looked like two bald men fighting over a comb, but we've seen a signal Fianna Fail's phoney war is over.
That's something we knew was coming at the conclusion of the referendum debates on the Fiscal Compact. That campaign was full of too many unforced errors from Sinn Fein.
Ultimately it may be unforced errors that circumscribe the difference in the near term fortunes between these two opposition parties. 'All kinds of everything' can win you a permanent seat at the 'security council' we call the Northern Ireland Executive.
But winning substantial political prizes in the Republic is a much more complex and demanding affair…

FREDERICK, Md.—A historical anthropologist will give a lecture on one of Latin America's earliest science fiction writers on Oct. 26 as the second event in Hood College's fall colloquium series.
R.A. Kashanipour, Ph.D., will present his talk, "The Morality of the Moon: Science and Fiction in Enlightenment Mexico," at 7 p.m. in the Marx Center. The presentation will examine the works of Manuel Antonio de Rivas, including his futuristic fable known as "Syzigias y quadraturas lunares," which may have been the first work of science fiction written in Latin America.
Rivas was held prisoner by the Mexican Inquisition from 1773 to 1777 for his "perverse doctrines, infernal language, and acerbic wit," and he outraged his colleagues for both his sharp tongue and interest in dangerous, unorthodox ideas in his writing.
Kashanipour is currently an assistant professor of Latin American history at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona. He is a cultural historian and historical anthropologist with particular interests in indigenous peoples in the Spanish Atlantic world. His research into the discourse of medicinal and botanical knowledge systems in colonial and contemporary indigenous communities has been funded by the Andrew Mellon Foundation, Wenner-Gren Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities and Max Planck Institut-für Wissenschaftsgeschichte.
The "Narrative at the Edge of the World" colloquium series will continue Nov. 16 when author J. Michael Martinez explores how certain historically diverse art works generate "time" and "space" for their reader and how a writer or visual artist may employ these techniques in their own creations.
For more information, contact Aaron Angello at 301-696-3211 or firstname.lastname@example.com or visit hood.libguides.com/events/colloquium.

@ Tititoro
When was the last time something like that actually happened? if you look to the available cards in Newblood, they only 2 from the same clan which are pretty close to each other are those two. Of course it may happen, but I doubt it will be so soon, and it could just as easily be for a different clan like Rescue or Uppers. (if it does happen again, probably for Uppers / Roots. Both old clans with under 40 cards)
Hey ur can we get more of those video clintz or credits?
@soundtrack, i wasn't necessarily saying it was common, i'm just saying it HAS, and COULD. Honestly i agree with you in all accounts except saying they WILL NOT. remember, this is UR. Anything can happen...

Meh.. watching video for clintz, not worth it
to add it is only 38 clintz per video
100 video and it's only 3800!
this is really bad compared to old method watch video to earn credits, which means 100 videos = 100 credits
maybe good for lower level, but for higher level, it is not worth it

I don't enter into a lot of competitions because I find my chances of winning pretty low and that my chances of receiving a zillion more junk emails pretty HIGH. But this time it just felt like fate. I had my eye on one of these babies for a while now but just couldn't bring myself around to buying one considering that my little saucepan was keeping up with my tea demand.
I follow Nautical Scout (facebook) and a few weeks ago they posted a giveaway, all I had to do was share their link on my facebook page – no threat of spamming my email account. And can you believe it? I WON! They were extremely prompt on their shipping (to a State side address) and when we returned to Massachusetts for Christmas I was able to pick it up.
I wasn't asked to review this product on my blog and I'm not getting paid to do so. One good turn deserves another.
The collapsible kettle from Nautical Scout.
The best little tea kettle around. She's small, comes in funky colors and collapses. What more could you want? I had imagined it to be larger and was quite surprised with I opened up the box but her small size is a blessing. She holds two+ cups of tea perfectly. The spout is narrow making pouring hot water while underway very safe. I was worried that I was going to melt the silicone or handle with our propane stove but all is well. The handle does get hot and I have to remove it from the stove with pot holders but all my pots' handles heat up.
So how do I make the perfect cup of boat tea? I fill up my lovely little collapsible tea kettle from Nautical Scout full of water. Heat her up on our propane stove. She's very baby friendly without a whistle but the steam pumping out of her small spout is the tell tale sign that she's ready. In the morning I make bread so I set aside a little hot water to add to the bread so my yeast can proof. The rest goes into my trusty tea cup, the only piece of breakable tableware we have on the boat and that is off limits to EVERYONE. I keep the remaining water in a thermos to be used for tea throughout the morning. I can not function without my morning tea.
The collapsible kettle holds 5 cups but I get roughly 3 cups of tea out of her, perfect for me. If you require more than that she's quick to boil. I don't know how I survived in the past without my trusty kettle. Thank you Nautical Scout, I really am a winner.
Check out Nautical Scout's website, they have a bunch of neat stuff on it. I would die for a few more collapsible items. They have steamers, pots, funnels, even collapsible pet bowls. They will definitely be my go to store for galley items, my little kettle is great quality. Check out their pillows too. I LOVE their jelly fish pillow and starfish pillow, so quirky and original.
Once again I was not paid for this post, when I find a great store with friendly service I like to share it.
