The UFC on Fox 7 fight card continues to grow with the addition of TUF The Smashes lightweight winner Norman Parke stepping into the Octagon to fight Jon Tuck.
UFC officials announced the bout late Wednesday night.
The bout will be Parke's (17-2) first since defeating Colin Fletcher in the finale at UFC on FX 6 in December.
After making his way through the fights on the reality series by way of decision, Parke will look to get back to finishing fights when he steps in the cage with Tuck. Parke has won 15 of his 17 fights by either submission or knockout. He is currently in the midst of a seven-fight winning streak.
Tuck has also won seven-consecutive bouts, but they represent his full resume.
Coming off of a decision win over Tiequan Zhang at the UFC's Chinese debut in November, Tuck is also a finisher that would like to get back to closing out fights.
The two will battle on the undercard in support of the UFC on Fox 7 main event pitting UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson against Strikeforce titleholder Gilbert Melendez.
UFC on Fox 7 takes place on April 20 at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.

Southington sweeps Staples in CIAC boys volleyball semifinals
SHELTON -- There were times this season when it looked like the Staples boys volleyball team might never lose, whether it was the ease with which it dispatched rival Ridgefield in the FCIAC championship game or the dominance it displayed while winning 18 straight matches.
That only makes what happened at the Shelton High School gymnasium Monday night even more puzzling.
The second-seeded Wreckers looked nothing like the powerhouse program which has appeared in 11 state championship games since 2001, including last year's title game against Glastonbury. Instead, it was No. 3 Southington which played the part of the bully, controlling the match from the opening serve to the final spike, rolling to a surprising 3-0 victory in the Class L semifinals.
The Knights (18-2), who will face No. 1 Ridgefield (19-1) in the Class L championship Thursday night at Kennedy, won by scores of 25-19, 25-16 and 25-19.
Staples (18-2) lost for the first time since falling to Ridgefield in the seasonopener.
"Something was missing tonight," said Staples head coach John Shepro, who believes this is the first 3-0 loss in program history. "I don't know what was going on, but we didn't look like Staples volleyball tonight. They picked up a lot of our hits and got us frustrated early. We just couldn't get our offense going. Nothing was working tonight."
Southington has had a tough history against Staples, falling to the Wreckers in the state playoffs five times over a six-year span from 2007-2012. This time, the Knights turned the tables with smart passing from senior Peter Masters and strong play at the net by senior outside hitter Dan Shaughnessy, who finished with 13 kills and three blocks.
"That was definitely on our minds," Shaughnessy said. "We talked about it in the huddle in the third set. Not many Southington teams have had a chance to beat them, so it's nice to get one against them."
Southington won with its defense, using three players on the outside instead of the typical two, and a game plan that kept the ball away from Lucas Grevers (10 kills) and Ian Grimes (seven kills), the two top hitters for Staples.
"We talked about it all night that defense was going to win this game," Shaughnessy said. "We never let the ball hit the floor."
Staples led the third set 8-2 but Southington scored 10 straight points to take a 12-8 lead and never trailed after that.
"We got down and just couldn't get the momentum back," Shepro said. "Southington just kept coming at us."

Networking 101: Subnets Realized (Including IPv6)
ARP, broadcast storms, layer 2 loops, and other mysteries explained
What's the point of creating subnets anyway? How do I remember those strange looking subnet masks? How the heck does this work with those crazy looking IPv6 addresses? This edition of Networking 101 will expand on the previous Subnets and CIDR article, in the interest of promoting a thorough understanding of subnetting.
The most common erroneous configuration happens when someone configures an IP address without specifying the netmask and broadcast address. For some reason, most operating systems don't take the liberty of updating these things, even though one can be determined from the other. If you run 'ifconfig eth0 18.104.22.168 netmask 255.255.255.0' you might expect that everything is ready to go. Unfortunately, it's very likely that your broadcast address was set to 255.255.0.0. It largely depends on the router's configuration, but normally this results in all broadcast packets being dropped. Conversely, if the netmask is configured incorrectly, the computer wouldn't know where the subnet starts and begins. If a computer thinks a host is on the same subnet when it actually isn't, it will attempt to ARP for it instead of the router. Routers can be configured to handle this and pretend they are the host (called Proxy Arp), but normally the result is unreachable hosts.
What about 18.104.22.168/255.255.255.248? We're definitely in a land smaller than the /24 subnet. If we look at the remaining bits in the last octet, we can see that there are eight IP addresses available. Remember that only 2^3 can make eight, so we're using all but three bits in the network portion. This is a /29 network. Of course, the easy ones are pretty clear: 255.255.255.128 allows half as many host addresses in the last octet compared to the /24 network, so it's a /25.
On the topic of confusing netmasks, IPv6 addresses certainly have a place. The netmask isn't really an issue—the same concept applies, just with larger numbers to remember. The real problem lies within the address representation itself; the IETF seemed to take pride in creating confusion. Typically an IPv6 address is represented in hex, or base-16. Our old friend IPv4 could represent an IP address in hex too, which would look like B.B.B.B for the address 126.96.36.199. Unfortunately, IPv6 isn't quite that nice looking. To represent 128 bits, IPv6 normally breaks up the address into eight 16-bit segments.
An IPv6 address looks like: 2013:4567:0000:CDEF:0000:0000:00AD:0000. It does get a bit easier. For example, leading zeros are not written, and contiguous quads of zeros get collapsed to ::. Trailing zeros, however, must be shown. This is a bit confusing, but the rules always allow for a non-ambiguous IP address. Leading zeros in each quad can always be removed, but the collapsing of contiguous blocks of zeros can only happen once per address. The above address with collapsed zeros will look like: 2013:4567:0000:CDEF::AD:0000. IPv6 provides 2^128 addresses, more than enough to allocate roughly 1000+ IP addresses per square meter of Earth.
If you remember the rules of binary, the address representation rules with IPv6, and a few simple subnets for reference, you'll be Master of Subnets - the one everyone asks for help.
- Subnets are important for keeping the amount of broadcast traffic to a minimum.
- Counting bits, but not all of them, is the easiest way to deduce strange looking netmasks.
- IPv6 addresses are the same with regards to slicing them into subnets, and as long as you remember the rules of address representation, confusion can be kept to a minimum.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – Last year's pairing between UC Santa Barbara and UNLV was decided by a buzzer-beater and Friday night's rematch was nearly as dramatic as the Lady Rebels edged out the Gauchos for the second consecutive season, 58-52, at the Thomas & Mack Center.
With the loss, UCSB falls to 0-1 on the early season while the Lady Rebels jump out to 1-0 start.
Early in the first half, Destini Mason's jumper tied the game at 4-4 and spurred a 15-6 run by the Gauchos, which was led by Nicole Nesbit's six points and Mason's five. Nesbit posted consecutive baskets and Mason sank a jumper to build the UCSB lead to 19-10 with eight minutes to go in the first half.
A media timeout ensued and seemingly cooled off the Gauchos' hot offense. The Lady Rebels came out of the break on fire, going on a 13-0 run. Back-to-back layups by Alana Cesarz tied the game at 19 apiece and a three-pointer from the top of the key by Kelli Thompson gave UNLV the lead. Rejane Verin was able to go 1-for-2 from the line to push the Lady Rebels ahead, 23-19, with 1:42 to go in the half.
UCSB's Melissa Zornig made sure the Gauchos had the last say in the opening stanza when she put up a layup with seven seconds left on the clock to cut the deficit to two points heading into the locker rooms.
The Gauchos continued to chip away at the Lady Rebels' lead in the second half, tying the game at three different points.
Mason – who led the team with a career-high 13 points – was able to cut the UNLV lead to one with a fastbreak layup and when Zornig was fouled on a 2-on-1 fastbreak a minute later, she tied the game as she went 1-for-2 from the line.
Thompson was able to quickly get UNLV back on top with a tipped in shot, but Mason's jumper with 7:02 on the clock tied the game once again at 42-42. On the next possession, Zornig fed a long pass to Mason, who dumped it in to give UCSB its first lead of the second half, 44-42.
The Lady Rebels then proceeded to go on an 8-2 run fueled by six points from Thompson. Zornig was able to down a three-pointer with 2:52 remaining to put the Gauchos back within one, but that's the closest they would come down the stretch.
Sweets Underwood drew a foul with 36 seconds to go and after her first shot rimmed in, the second bounced out. Nesbit stole the ball on the following possession and put away a fastbreak basket to put the Gauchos within two with 23.2 seconds to go, but an unforced turnover by UCSB and subsequent foul sent Thompson to the line. She put away both of her free shots as did Rmanii Haynes with four seconds to go to seal the 58-52 victory for UNLV.
In addition to Mason's career-high 13 points, two other Gauchos –Nesbit and Zornig – put up double-digit points. Nesbit, who led the Gauchos with 17 points in their exhibition against Vanguard on Monday, poured in 12 to go along with a team-leading five assists and five rebounds. Zornig finished with 11 points. Kirsten Tilleman, meanwhile, led the Gauchos with 12 of the team's 33 rebounds.
Thompson led all players with her 18 points while also posting 11 rebounds for UNLV. Cesarz added 12 points while Haynes led all players with seven assists.
"We made critical mistakes late in the game; we had an unforced turnover when we were trying to execute a pattern," head coach Carlene Mitchell said. "And we were unable to stop 45 (Thompson); we knew they were going to her and through her.
"We continue to have pretty good offensive execution early in the game, but with one sub it seems like we are disrupted. Hopefully as the year progresses, we will understand roles and we wont lose any intensity when we go to our bench."
The Gauchos will return home next Wednesday, Nov. 14 to host New Mexico State in a 7 p.m. game at the Thunderdome.
In 2012-13, UC Santa Barbara will begin a two-year 35th anniversary celebration of the Thunderdome. The #thunderdome35 celebration includes commemorative 2012-13 season tickets that feature some of the greatest players to ever compete on the Thunderdome court. The players will also be remembered during Gaucho men's and women's basketball home broadcasts as well as on the Gauchos in Thirty television show and online at UCSBgauchos.com.
Season tickets and single game tickets for women's basketball are available at the Ticket Office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus, by calling 805-893-UCSB (8272) or online by clicking here.

Routine Vaccination RecommendationsRoutine Vaccination Recommendations - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What vaccinations are routinely recommended for adults, adolescents, and children?
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are presently 16 diseases that have recommended vaccination schedules. The goal is for all US citizens to receive these vaccinations to prevent the spread of these infectious diseases, and ultimately to eradicate them.
Specific vaccine recommendations vary depending on age, geographic location, and other risk factors.
These basic vaccinations are often given in combination to reduce the number of injections. The following diseases can be prevented by following the CDC guidelines for immunization:
Diphtheria (this highly potent, bacterial toxin causes disease that is often fatal)
Hemophilus influenzae type B (bacterial infection that leads to conditions such as meningitis)
Hepatitis A (a type of viral hepatitis transmitted through oral contact with water, food, or items contaminated with feces, which affects the liver, but is usually less harmful than other types of hepatitis)
Hepatitis B (a potentially more severe form of viral hepatitis transmitted through blood and body fluid exposure)
Human papillomavirus (HPV) (a common sexually transmitted disease that can cause genital warts called condylomas and can lead to cervical and many other cancers)
Influenza (flu) (an acute infectious respiratory disease caused by various strains of influenza viruses)
Measles (an acute viral infection marked by fever, a dusky red rash, and inflamed respiratory mucous membranes)
Meningococcal meningitis (inflammation of the brain or spinal cord due to a bacterial infection)
Mumps (an infection of salivary or parotid glands and sometimes other areas of the body)
Pertussis (whooping cough) (an acute bacterial infection of the throat causing high pitched coughing spasms)
Invasive pneumococcal disease (serious infection caused by spread of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae from the respiratory tract to the blood, brain, or other organs)
Poliomyelitis (an acute infection that affects the gastrointestinal tract and sometimes the central nervous system)
Rotavirus (a highly contagious virus, which is the leading cause of severe diarrhea among children)
Rubella (sometimes called German measles, an acute viral infection characterized by a rash)
Tetanus (lock jaw) (a disease marked by painful contractions of the muscles)
Varicella (chicken pox) (an acute, contagious disease, usually occurring in children, caused by the varicella-zoster virus and marked by skin eruptions)

I've been noticing over the years, discrepancies in the wife and children of my great great great grandfather, Francis Montfort Jr [1784-1867]. Since I can prove the errors are wrong, here is my blog entry to answer it. Way too many sites are giving Francis as the husband of Margaret Banta, daughter of Cornelius Banta and his children as John, Henry, and Leah. I am not sure where these folks are getting this information., but it is incorrect. These are the children of Margaret/Peggy Banta who married Jacob Montfort in 1805 Henry County, KY, younger brother of Francis Jr. I have corresponded with Elsa Banta who wrote the Banta Pioneers and Allied Families with my proof of an error in the book and she has been very kind to consider and accept my proof and sources. In her book, on page 145, she has Francis married to Polly Banta which is correct but listed as their children are Anna, Leah, Rachel and Rebecca. These are the younger sisters of Polly Banta Montfort. This is proven by the will of their father, John Banta and the Shaker records. Francis and Polly had three children, John [1803], Charity [1805] and David W. [1806]. The last was born 8 1/2 months after Francis and Polly joined the Shakers. She sent me a list of all the libraries where her book was donated and I spent a month getting the new information sent...a few came back and one of these days I'll find the time to get new corrected addresses and they'll go out again. Since there are many descendants from both Jacob and Francis, it's not a good idea to perpetuate the error any longer. This is one way to make the correction, another is to put the information in various sites online that accept information..i.e. Genforum. So bear with me kin and friends. If anyone is confused or wants more information....just give me an email...glad to answer, set straight...even argue..like a stubborn Dutchman...when I'm right, I'm right....you have only to check with Indiana Dept of Revenue....they were wrong and I proved it. I can really dig in my heels when I KNOW I'm right.
Jacob Montfort 1787-1864/1870
I am not sure where the information is coming from that lists his date of death as 1824, but I can track him to 1864 and his date of death between that year and the 1870 census of Indiana where he is no longer listed.
Jacob was born in Mercer County, Kentucky on February 8, 1787 after his parents and older siblings had moved there from York County, Pennsylvania. His parents were Francis Sr and Geertje/Charity Banta Montfort and his maternal grandfather was the man called Father Hendrick, Hendrick Banta 3rd, leader of the Low Dutch Colony. There were seven siblings older than him, Rachel, Catherine, Marya, Charity, Henry, John Calvin and Francis Jr. All were born in York County, PA. A younger sister, Sarah, would be born in Mercer County, Kentucky in 1789, completing the family of nine children.
On the fourth of February 1805, a license for marriage was filed in Henry County, Kentucky for Jacob Montfort to Margaret/Peggy Banta, daughter of Cornelius Banta and Mary Magdalene Durie Schuck Banta. Many online sites give his wife as Polly Banta but this is incorrect. His elder brother, Francis Jr was married to Polly Banta with their license filed in Shelby County, Kentucky in May of 1802. Polly was the daughter of John and Polly Riker Banta. Francis Jr is also listed as father of John, Henry and Leah Montfort, known children of Jacob and Margaret/Peggy Banta Montfort, from records of the Shakers of Pleasant Hill, KY.
In a typical case of family's intermarrying within the Low Dutch Colony, John and Cornelius Banta were half brothers of Charity Banta Montfort. Charity was the youngest of six children born to Hendrick Banta 3rd and his first wife, Rachel Brower. John and Cornelius were from the second marriage of Hendrick Banta 3rd and Antie Demarest Banta. Antie and Rachel were cousins through the Demarest lineage.
Jacob and his wife, Margaret, would have three children, sons John born December 13, 1805 and Henry born November 24, 1807, both in Henry County, Kentucky. John was named for his paternal grandfather, Jan Monfoort and Henry was named after his maternal grandfather, Hendrick Banta 3rd. A third child would be born November 25, 1809 at Shakertown at Pleasant Hill in Mercer County, Kentucky. She would be named Leah after her great grandmother, Leah Demarest Demarest, who had been killed at the Long Run Massacre in September 1781. And yes, her maiden name was Demarest.
Jacob and Margaret had joined the Shaker religious society in June of 1809 with the two sons and the expected baby that would be called Love by the Shakers. In joining they would be one of many of the Low Dutch Colony that would "go to the Shakers" in the early 1800's and most of those who joined were related to them in those early years. Charity Banta Montfort and her youngest daughter, Sarah, had joined in August of 1805. Francis Montfort Jr and his wife, Polly Banta Montfort joined with two children, John [1803] and Charity [1805] and a third born after they joined in March of 1806. This last child would be called David W. Montfort. An older sister, Rachel who had married John Voris, had joined with her large family in 1810.
Serving as elder at several of the family houses at Shakertown, Jacob was a trusted member of the society. His expulsion in October of 1836 thus came as a surprise when found written in a Shaker journal. Along with him, a young lady, Nancy Lineback/Lyneback was also sent out of the village at the same time. She was born November 8, 1805 and was the age of his two sons by Margaret. Her pregnancy could no longer be concealed and the father of the expected baby was revealed. Of all the rules one can break as a Shaker this was the worst. The Shakers as a rule were very forgiving of transgressions but this was against the backbone of the society's beliefs......celibacy.
The date of the child's birth is not known but must have been sometime after the first of the year of 1837. It was a girl and her name is not known, but she is no longer listed after the 1840 census.
Jacob had filed for divorce from his first wife, Margaret/Peggy Banta Montfort and it was granted in February of 1837. Kentucky law at that time granted divorces if one party of the marriage was a Shaker and would not leave the society. The divorce can be found in records of the Kentucky General Assembly for the year 1837, as that body had the authority to grant divorces. Within the same month he was married to Nancy. They would have a son about 1841, named Jacob and no other children.
Margaret/Peggy Banta Montfort remained a Shaker till her death August 23, 1874 and is buried in the cemetery at Shakertown at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky. Their daughter, Leah/Love died November 25, 1882, her 73rd birthday and is also buried at the Shaker cemetery at Pleasant Hill.
Their sons, John and Henry, both left the society in 1827 and 1828. John disappears and nothing more is known of him. Henry left the society in 1828 and made his way north to Indiana where he marries Mrs. Susan Lewis Samples in Madison on October 25, 1828. They would have four children, Susannah [Davis], Louisa [Spink], Cornelius B. and Robert H. There are descendants of at least two of these children.
Jacob, his new wife, Nancy and family moved north to Indiana and lived near his son, Henry, for a time. They are listed in the 1840 census of Jefferson County, Indiana with a male between 50-60., a female between 30-40, and a female child under the age of five. By August of 1850, the family had moved west to Harrison County, Indiana where they are found living in Blue River Township. Jacob is a farmer, age 63, born in KY. Nancy is 44, born in North Carolina and no daughter is listed. A son, Jacob, age 9 is listed as having been born in Indiana. They are still living in this same area in the 1860 census.
March of 1864 is the last known date Jacob Sr is still living. He signs a paper for the girl his son is going to marry stating she is "of lawful age to marry, being acquainted with her since her birth.," Jacob Montfort Jr marries Martha Edmonson in Washington County, IN March 14th , 1864. The entire letter he wrote to present to the court allowing his son to marry is as follows: "Jacob is 23 and could marry anyone he pleased, and he wishes to marry Martha Edmison, a girl with no mother or father living. I hereby certify Martha is of lawful age to marry, being acquainted with her since birth. She is 21 years of age and her relations are willing." The letter was dated March 11, 1864 and signed by Jacob Montfort.. By 1870, Jacob Sr is no longer found listed in census records for Harrison County, IN and indications are he had deceased by this time. The marriage is found in Book G, page 349, Washington County, IN Marriages 1844-1877 found in the archives of the Indiana History Room of the New Albany-Floyd County Public Library, New Albany, Indiana.
Nancy is listed for the last time in the 1880 census for Harrison County, IN, living alone in Blue River Township.
Jacob Jr and his wife, Martha would have at least known 6 children, Elizabeth [1867]. Ulysses Grant [1870], Eliza [1872], Martin [1874], and John [1876] , and Nancy [1879-80] before they disappear from records. It is possible one or more of the girls married although no records appear in records at Harrison County, IN. Like their parents, they could have married in Washington County, IN as it was nearer to their farm but no records have yet been found.
Sources include the original Shaker journals found at the Filson Historical Society in Louisvlle, KY as well as the three rolls of microfilm by the Harrodsburg Historical Society of Harrodsburg, KY from originals they have in their archives. The University of Kentucky at Lexington, Kentucky has some journals from Pleasant Hill Shaker Society on microfilm in their archives, as does the Western Kentucky University Library archives that deal with the South Union Shaker Village near Bowling Green , Kentucky. Their journals at WKU include many references to the early days of the society at Pleasant Hill. Western Reserve Historical Society of Cleveland, Ohio and the archives at Shakertown at Pleasant Hill, Kentucky have also been used for sources.
The courthouses of Shelby, Henry, Mercer, Anderson, Jefferson Counties in Kentucky as well as those in Jefferson, Harrison and Switzerland Counties in Indiana for birth and marriage as well as divorce records.
Libraries utilized include the National SAR Library in Louisville, Kentucky; Louisville Free Public Library, Louisville, Kentucky; Lawrenceburg, KY Library; Shelby County, KY Library at Shelbyville, KY; New Albany-Floyd County Public Library in New Albany, IN; Jefferson County/Madison Public Library at Madison, IN; Filson Historical Society library in Louisville, KY; Harrodsburg Historical Society library at Harrodsburg,KY; my own personal collection of Shaker material in my library. Also the Henry County Historical Society in New Castle, Kentucky.

Spotify Adds Radio Station Functionality to iOS Apps
All those whole love (and pay) Spotify's mobile apps for iOS can now stream limitless artist, song, playlist or album-based radio stations for free.
Similar to Pandora-style streaming, Spotify users can create their own radio stations by looking up songs, artists, and albums in Spotify's 16 million track database. Spotify will then create a radio station with similar music with no caps on how long users can listen. While listening to tracks, users can "like" music to add to their own playlists so they can find the songs later. Additional features include browsing friends' playlists to add their songs to your own playlist and using Spotify's "recommendation engine" to discover new music according to you listening habits.
Premium users have access to this functionality as well, in addition to all the personalization features that come with a subscription account. But if you are not a "manual playlist" person, and just want to hear good music without cramming your iOS device's storage with music, check out the Spotify blog for details and let us know what you think.

Squids can fly? If you are a member of the relatively small community of squid aficionados you've known this for a while.
But if you are a normal person with just a passing interest in cephalopods and all their many diverse abilities, the fact that these underwater creatures also occasionally get from point A to point B by flying above the water for distances of up to 164 feet at a time might just blow your mind.
Ron O'Dor, a marine biologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, and co-author of a poster called "Squid Rocket Science" presented at the American Geophysical Union's Ocean Sciences Meeting in Salt Lake City, said squids have good reason to fly. It is not to avoid predators, as was previously thought, but rather to save the animal energy as it migrates across vast expanses of ocean, O'Dor said.
"The acceleration rate in air is five times faster than any acceleration I've measured in a squid in water," he said. "And once they are gliding in the air, they aren't expending any resources."
Squids are able to propel themselves out of the water in the same way they swim through the water — by filling their mantle up with water and then forcing it out at very high velocities and pressures. Once a squid has propelled itself above the water, it can contort itself into a rocket — its fins catching the air like wings, the tentacles curled up to create another flat surface in the rear. How far the squid can go at that point is limited only by the wind.
If squids are such proficient fliers however, why isn't squid flight something more people know about?
O'Dor thinks the reason is that squids are more likely to fly at night, when it would be harder for predators such as birds, as well as human observers, to catch them in the act.
He came to this hypothesis after observing some squids that he kept in a 15-meter pool at Dalhousie University. Each morning, when the research team checked on the squids, they would find a few dead squids around the outside of the pool. O'Dor found that by not completely turning off the lights at night, and only dimming them, the squids were less likely to jump out of the pool.
Conclusion: Squids only like to fly in the dark.
Reports of squids gliding above the waves go back to the 1890s.
In 1947 Thor Heyerdahl noted that squids would occasionally fall from the air onto his raft as he attempted to sail from Peru to the Polynesian islands in an effort to prove that people from South America could have settled in the South Pacific islands.
But photographic evidence was hard to find. In 1970 National Geographic obtained an 8 mm video of a large flying squid 6.5 feet long. And then, in 2010, a man named Bob Hulse shot a bunch of photos of squids rocketing above the ocean, off the coast of Brazil.
O'Dor, who hopes to publish a paper about squid flight soon, says there is still much more research to be done to understand the ins and outs of rocketing squids.
He is trying to get funding to tag species of squid that he suspects of flying, to see how much they fly and at what times.

Werewolf Love
What if Jacob ran away after being rejected by Bella and being threatened to have his jaw broken? Jacob wasn't there for the fight. He didn't know about Bella and Edward's engagement, and he definitely didn't know about Renesmee. It is a year after he ran off, and he has finally come back. But what does he find?
This story is going to end up switching from Bella and Jacob's POV. When I say he ran away after he got rejected by Bella, I mean after the first time he kissed her, aka assaulted her. Disclaimer: I do not own anything to do with twilight. I am not Stephenie Meyer, sadly. I just like wting twilight fanfic.=] Enjoy the story!
1. Where am I?
Rating 5/5 Word Count 661 Review this Chapter
Jacob's POV
I was running, one of my favorite things about being a werewolf. I didn't know where I was. All I knew was that I was somewhere far up north. I never wanted to stop running. I didn't think like a human. I let my wolf instincts take over. I didn't want to feel the kind of pain I felt when I was a human.
I had left everything behind, my father…the pack…Bella. But why did it matter if I had left Bella behind? I must just be some worthless little puppy dog to her. I helped her. I made her come alive again. Then he came back, and she took him and left me without another word.
Yet, I couldn't help but love her. I had told her those three fateful words and I had kissed her. She never even stopped to think about the possibility of us. She punched me when I kissed her, and broke her fragile little hand doing it. Not only that, I then had to deal with Edward threatening me after he came to pick her up. I would have loved to fight with Edward, but I couldn't stay behind with Bella knowing that she only thought of me as a friend. Sure, she loved me, like a brother. What did that matter in the end? I couldn't take the rejection.
That was over a year ago. I had been running around- going who knows where- up north for a while. I hadn't phased back for months now. I didn't care that kill my own food and eat it raw, as long as it would stop me from phasing back. When I was human, all I could think about was Bella. I didn't want that. I ran away to get away from Bella.
I was excruciatingly hungry. I was getting tired of eating raw food. I didn't want to turn back, and I was coming toward a town. I would have to phase sometime.
There was a sign to the left of where I came out into the open. Welcome to Greenwood, British Columbia, Canada: Canada's smallest city!
Wow. Of all the cities I could of ended up in, it just had to be the smallest city in Canada. I guess that's what happens when you don't know or care where you're going.
There was a small diner off to my right. Maybe I could get some food in there. I started to walk over. I was so hungry; I could practically taste a hamburger on my mouth as I walked. I shouldn't let myself starve that long again. It's definitely not good when you start tasting food that isn't there. Then I remembered. I don't have any cash.
"Damn!" I murmured under my breath. I guess it was back to raw food for me. Oh how I wish I had thought to grab some cash when I left.
Then again, it probably wouldn't matter anyway. It would be one extra thing to carry tied to my leg. Plus, even if I did bring money, it would definitely be gone by now.
When I was about to go back into the trees to phase, I saw a man and a woman, holding hands walking down the street. They looked so….happy.
That was it. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to try to see if I could win Bella over, no matter what it takes. I was not going to lose to that bloodsucking leech!
I quickly ran into the trees and I phased back into a wolf. Within three days I was back in Forks. After having run at top speed for three days, I was exhausted. But, I braved my way up to her house, ready to do whatever it takes to get Bella.

Former Minnesota Vikings five-time All-Pro Kevin Williams is still looking for a job three months after free agency kick started in early March.
The veteran defensive tackle left reported visits with the Seahawks and Giants without a contract.
Why is such an accomplished player languishing on the open market in early June?
For starters, NFL teams are hesitant to shell out big bucks for players on the wrong side of age 30. As a 33-year-old vested veteran entering his 12th season, Williams would garner a minimum contract of $955,000 versus the rookie minimum of $420,000.
Now that the offseason has reached June, the interest in Williams might pick up. Post-June 1 signings don't count against the NFL's mysterious compensatory pick lottery for each team.
Asked by USA Today's Tom Pelissero if the Patriots might be a good fit, Williams expressed an interest in teaming up with Vince Wilfork.
"Well, give them a call," Williams said. "Tell them to look me up."
A couple of other NFL teams have called, but Williams seems content to wait until August -- or even to contemplate retirement.
"I've done well managing my money. I think I'd be fine if I don't play," Williams told Pelissero. "But that's my hope -- I hope to be on somebody's team before summer's out."

Press Release
Art 38 Basel
June 13 – 17, 2007
Hall 2.0, Booth C1
Richard Serra
Spine (for Max Imdahl), 1988
Arnulf Rainer
o.T., 1995/96
Once again this year, our exhibition at Art 38 Basel – a cooperation between Galerie m Bochum and m Bochum Kunstvermittlung – will incorporate various genres. We will be showing sculpture, painting and graphic art as well as concrete and nonrepresentational art, photography and new media.
Unusual are the three steel sculptures in the show: Lee Ufan's almost two-meter-high and three-meter-wide installation Relatum – meditation, an early work by David Rabinowitch from the Sided Masses group, and Richard Serra's Spine (for Max Imdahl), one of the Steel Props series. All of these are among the few works in their group that are still available. Drawings by Richard Serra will also be on display, which are as much in demand as the large-format Correspondance works by Lee Ufan.
The Museum of Modern Art in New York is honoring Richard Serra "as one of the outstanding sculptors of our time", with a large-scale exhibition marking his 40-year career, opening shortly before Art Basel on June 3. Lee Ufan is represented at the 52nd Biennale in Venice at the Palazzo Palumbo Fossati.
Unlike Lee Ufan's subtle paintings, the four-meter-wide canvas Hervorkommender Grund by Günter Fruhtrunk glows in intense colors, a fascinating work from a seldom-seen late, expressive phase of the artist's career.
Undisputed in their impressive painterly qualities are the works of Arnulf Rainera and Gotthard Graubner. Also on view are an early work by Mary Heilman, a Frank Stella relief and an Anti-Bild by Günther Uecker.
The works of Elisabeth Vary and Alfredo Álvarez Plágaro call into question our traditional criteria for judging artworks. While Vary's works oscillate between genres, not classifiable as either painting or sculpture, Plágaro's Identical Paintings represent both original and reproduction at once.
Among our younger artists are Jan Wawryzniak, who in his charcoal drawings is finding his way to an increasingly concrete pictorial language, and Sybille Berger, whose large-format color-field paintings exert a direct psychophysical impact on the viewer.
We are especially proud to present an early and very rare 10-part relief by Jan J. Schoonhoven, which in 1962 already heralded the program his further development as an artist would follow.
Five outstanding photographers are represented at the show, including works in the more classic mode by Evelyn Hofer, self-dramatizations by the young Finnish artist Aino Kannisto, photos by Lucinda Devlin and works by Thomas Florschuetz that capture the Palace of the Republic in the final phase of its demolition. For the first time in Basel, we will be showing the work of photographer and video artist Melanie Manchot, who, like Lee Ufan, is represented at the Venice Biennale. The New Forest Pavilion at the Palazzo Zenobio is showing her video installation Shave.
The unique and highly intriguing bewegten Bilder (moving images) by Ger van Elk span the genres, with references to classic panel painting, to photography and to film.
For the Professional Day at the show, Thomas Florschuetz will present the publication Museumsinsel, co-authored with Durs Grünbein, and Alfredo Álvarez Plágro will discuss, based on his Identical Paintings, the question of what constitutes an original and a reproduction and the differences inherent in sameness.

Eagerly anticipated role-playing game Dragon Quest X is in beta. And like with most things eagerly anticipated, there are those hoping to make a quick profit.
One beta tester put a copy up on Rakuten Auction. Earlier today, Square Enix's legal department posted a message in the auction's comment sections, saying that being a beta tester is a "privilege" and transferring that privilege to another player is "in violation of the law."
While this auction was ended, there are other auctions online offering DQX beta tester kits.

Oilfield-services giant Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) disappointed shareholders on Friday by warning its fourth-quarter earnings will be dragged by contractual delays and slumping land activity in North America.
Continue Reading Below
Wall Street punished Schlumberger for the dimmed fourth-quarter outlook, driving its shares down 2.98% to $70.40 in premarket action.
Schlumberger said its fourth-quarter profits are set to be hurt by 5 cents to 7 cents a share due to continued contractual delays and higher-than-usual "seasonal slowdowns" in Europe and Africa as well as weaker land activity in the U.S. and Western Canada.
Analysts had been projecting fourth-quarter EPS of $1.13, but those forecasts could be ramped down after the warning issued on Friday.
Schlumberger said it plans to release full fourth-quarter results on January 18.
Earlier this year Schlumberger logged a 9.5% rise in third-quarter profits thanks to overseas drilling strength.

Broe – Lantagne family is built on reindeer games
by Richard Creaser
copyright the Chronicle 10-24-12
WEST CHARLESTON — Even before Pauline Broe picked up her bullhorn to address the crowd on Sunday it was apparent that this wasn't your typical family gathering. With sun and rain appearing in equal measure, members of Ms. Broe's extended family enjoyed brunch under the tent, stood around the fire pit or roamed the grounds of the Vermont Reindeer Farm.
The gathering is an annual event for Ms. Broe's family and, in particular, her branch of the Westmore Lantagnes. All seven Lantagne siblings still reside within an hour's drive of the town where they grew up.
But it is far more than a gathering of the clan. To Ms. Broe it is an opportunity to remember who she is, where she came from, and exactly what kind of legacy she wants to leave behind for the next generation.
"We were probably the poorest family in Westmore when we were kids," Ms. Broe said. "Someone else was always giving us clothes and Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. There wasn't any expectation that we were going to go to college. Our parents expected that we would finish high school."
Being on the receiving end of charity left a deep impression on the Lantagne children. It instilled in them a recognition of the power of one person to make a tremendous difference in the life of another. It fostered in them a strong sense of family and a willingness to pool their resources for the benefit of all.
The annual family gathering turned into a fund-raising effort to help support members of the family, Ms. Broe said. Whether by explicit donation or through silent auctions and walkathons, the family gathered money to form a Lantagne family scholarship fund.
"Our expectation is that if a child in this family wants to go to college, they will go to college," Ms. Broe said. "Those of us in a position to help will help. That's just the way we are."
The gathering has also helped provide funds for ailing family members including, most recently, a sister-in-law and a nephew who battled cancer. Their struggle highlighted the prevalence of cancer in the community and inspired the family to also donate a portion of their fund raising money to support cancer charities.
All this focus on good deeds would seem to suggest that a Lantagne family gathering is a dry, joyless affair. Nothing could be further from the truth. Adjacent to the food tent an inflatable bounce house keeps the younger ones dry and entertained. As Ms. Broe speaks with the Chronicle she is constantly jostled by a kaleidoscope of animals that includes three goats, a donkey and a pig who thinks he's a dog.
A more varied menagerie of animals probably hasn't existed outside a zoo or a pretty famous ark. And that brings us back around to the name of Ms. Broe's farm — Vermont Reindeer Farm. To the average American, reindeer are something you see in nature shows, on Christmas cards or in claymation television specials. Visitors to Ms. Broe's farm, however, get to lay their eyes — and sometimes hands — on the real McCoy.
Comet and Prancer are the star attractions at the Broe farm, though Comet is, at present, off in New York State awaiting permission to enter Vermont. In truth, he would be Comet II, but in order to avoid giving children nightmares about the mortality of Santa's faithful sled team Ms. Broe is content to present the illusion that the original Comet is simply away on business.
"This is the only reindeer farm in all of Vermont," Ms. Broe said. "So how did it all get started? It's not like we sat around dreaming of reindeer."
Like most of the stories Ms. Broe told on Sunday afternoon, this one found its origins somewhere else. The land on which we stood has been in John Broe Senior's family stretching back five generations.
Before that parcel became a farm it had played host to a modest but lovingly crafted camp. The Broe's decided to build a more permanent dwelling using wood harvested from the land. Naturally, it seemed a shame to tear down a perfectly good cabin to make room for the house, so they just conjoined the two in a style that is both rustic and more than a little bit storybook.
"Some people have a back lawn," Ms. Broe said, looking out the north window. "We have a back forest."
She neglected to mention that the forest was a strange, magical place inhabited by brightly colored ceramic frogs, fairies and bridges complete with shaggy-headed trolls. Did we neglect to mention the dinosaur bones?
"I really like coming out here and walking on the trail," niece Gwen Lantagne said. "I like seeing the frogs, the little bridges and the dinosaur bones."
"I think they're just cow bones," Tyler Choquette said with almost convincing certainty.
The fact that the younger generations take happily to field and forest, eagerly sharing the magic of that place with a complete stranger, proves that what the Broe's have built lives up to their ideal. This is a place where memories are made.
"When they grow up I want them to be able to remember Aunt Pauline's and all the wonderful animals and the things to see and do," Ms. Broe said. "I want them to remember where they came from and how that made them who they are."
Which somehow brings us back around to the reindeer. The farm grew as a place where rescued animals could find respite and a loving home. It started with a pony and soon expanded to the various furry and feathered critters that snorted, brayed, bleated and squawked around the pastures and pens.
"One day I was looking at Country Woman magazine and saw a picture of a blond woman in a red outfit with a reindeer," Ms. Broe recalls. "I thought, 'That could be me!'"
Transforming that vision from idea to reality proved to be complicated. The threat of chronic wasting disease (CWD) among captive herds of deer severely limits the transport of animals like reindeer. To import the animals to Vermont, the Broe's first had to find a clean herd from a state certified to ship animals to this state.
Tedious though the process may have been, Ms. Broe expressed no qualms about following that reindeer dream. The reindeer have proven popular with folks booking Christmas celebrations, as well as with the dozens of schoolchildren that have visited her farm.
Sharing her animals and her property with family and friends and schoolchildren is something that Ms. Broe treasures immensely.
"I love the opportunity to make kids happy," Ms. Broe said. "When you see a child that has had problems bonding with other people and you see them hugging an animal, that's amazing. People can connect to animals in a way they might never connect to other people, so giving them that opportunity means a lot to me."
If one were to ask what precisely a farm with two reindeer, a bunch of goats, a confused pig, a donkey and a collection of chickens and ponies produces the simple answer is probably the right one — fond memories of a special place from their childhood.

The man accused of the Lin family murders has pleaded not guilty to all five counts.
Lian Bin 'Robert' Xie appeared in the Supreme Court in Sydney on Friday charged with murdering five members of his wife's family in Sydney's northwest.
He said a clear "not guilty" to all five indictments read out by Justice Megan Latham.
Xie, 49, is accused of murdering his brother-in-law, Min "Norman" Lin, 45, Mr Lin's wife, Yun Li "Lily" Lin, 43, her sister, Yun Bin "Irene" Yin, 39, and two boys, aged nine and 12, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Their bodies were found in a North Epping house on July 18, 2009.
They had been beaten to death in their bedrooms with a hammer-like object, while the cause of death for four of the victims also included asphyxia.
Defence barrister Graham Turnbull, SC, told the court there was a "substantial body of evidence" that the defence had yet to see.
Justice Latham adjourned the matter to March 1 to set a trial date.
Xie's wife, Kathy Lin, was in court for the arraignment.

Shadow IT is a great thing until it runs into the security of cloud computing. All too often line-of-business users are establishing applications and moving data into the cloud without understanding all the security implications.
The Cloud Security Alliance has put together a list of the nine most prevalent and serious security threats in cloud computing. Many of them relate in one way or another to the weaknesses implicit in Shadow IT.
The alliance bills its list as the "Notorious Nine: Cloud Computing Threats in 2013." The CSA itself was formed in 2008 on the heels of the Information Systems Security Association CISO Forum in Las Vegas. Jim Reavis, a well-known security researcher and author, issued a call for action to secure the cloud at the event, leading to the founding of the organization.
The report was released in February and was composed by a group within the alliance, including co-chairs Rafal Los of HP, Dave Shackleford of Voodoo Security, and Bryan Sullivan of Microsoft. They were assisted by staff members Luciano Santos, research director; Evan Scoboria, webmaster; Kendall Scoboria, graphic designer; Alex Ginsburg, copywriter; and John Yeoh, research analyst.
Here are the CSA's biggest concerns.
1. Data BreachesThe data breach at Target, resulting in the loss of personal and credit card information of up to 110 million individuals, was one of a series of startling thefts that took place during the normal processing and storage of data. "Cloud computing introduces significant new avenues of attack," said the CSA report authors. The absolute security of hypervisor operation and virtual machine operations is still to be proved. Indeed, critics question whether such absolute security can exist. The report's writers said there's lab evidence -- though none known in the wild -- that breaches via hypervisors and virtual machines may occur eventually.
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, security software firm RSA, and the University of North Carolina cited evidencein November 2012 that it's possible for a user on one virtual machine to listen for activity that signals the arrival of an encryption key on another VM on the same host. It's called the "side channel timing exposure," as was previously reported by InformationWeek.
"It's every CIO's worst nightmare: the organization's sensitive internal data falls into the hands of their competitors," the report said.
[Want to learn more about how cloud security needs to be structured? See Cloud Security Needs More Layers: HyTrust.]
So far, the largest breaches haven't involved any such advanced techniques, which remain for the most part lab experiments. But the possibility still acts as a brake on what is looking like broad enterprise adoption of cloud computing. Clouds represent concentrations of corporate applications and data, and if any intruder penetrated far enough, who knows how many sensitive pieces of information will be exposed. "If a multitenant cloud service database is not properly designed, a flaw in one client's application could allow an attacker access not only to that client's data, but every other client's data as well," the report concluded.
"Unfortunately, while data loss and data leakage are both serious threats to cloud computing, the measures you put in place to mitigate one of these threats can exacerbate the other," the report said. Encryption protects data at rest, but lose the encryption key and you've lost the data. The cloud routinely makes copies of data to prevent its loss due to an unexpected die off of a server. The more copies, the more exposure you have to breaches.
2. Data LossA data breach is the result of a malicious and probably intrusive action. Data loss may occur when a disk drive dies without its owner having created a backup. It occurs when the owner of encrypted data loses the key that unlocks it. Small amounts of data were lost for some Amazon Web Service customers as its EC2 cloud suffered "a remirroring storm" due to human operator error on Easter weekend in 2011. And a data loss could occur intentionally in the event of a malicious attack.
The alliance cited the case of Mat Honan, a writer for Wired magazine, who in the summer of 2012 found an intruder had broken into his Gmail, Twitter, and Apple accounts and deleted all the baby pictures of his 18-month old daughter.
"For both consumers and businesses, the prospect of permanently losing one's data is terrifying," the report acknowledged. There are many techniques to prevent data loss. They occur anyway.
3. Account Or Service Traffic HijackingAccount hijacking sounds too elementary to be a concern in the cloud, but CSA says it is a problem. Phishing, exploitation of software vulnerabilities such as buffer overflow attacks, and loss of passwords and credentials can all lead to the loss of control over a user account. An intruder with control over a user account can eavesdrop on transactions, manipulate data, provide false and business-damaging responses to customers, and redirect customers to a competitor's site or inappropriate sites.
If your account in the cloud is hijacked, it can be used as a base by an attacker to use the power of your reputation to enhance himself at your expense. The CSA said Amazon.com's wireless retail site experienced a cross-site scripting attack in April 2010 that allowed the attackers to hijack customer credentials as they came to the site. In 2009, it said, "numerous Amazon systems were hijacked to run Zeus botnet nodes." The report doesn't detail what the nodes did, but they were known in 2007 for putting malware on the US Department of Transportation website and in 2009 for putting malware on NASA's and the Bank of America's sites. The compromised EC2 nodes were detected by security firm Prevx, which notified Amazon and they were promptly shutdown.
If credentials are stolen, the wrong party has access to an individual's accounts and systems. A service hijacking lets an intruder into critical areas of a deployed service with the possibility of "compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability" of those services, the report said.
The alliance offers tips on how to practice defense in depth against such hijackings, but the must-do points are to prohibit the sharing of account credentials between users, including trusted business partners; and to implement strong two-factor authentication techniques "where possible."
4. Insecure APIsThe cloud era has brought about the contradiction of trying to make services available to millions while limiting any damage all these largely anonymous users might do to the service. The answer has been a public facing application programming interface, or API, that defines how a third party connects an application to the service and providing verification that the third party producing the application is who he says he is.
Leading web developers, including ones from Twitter and Google, collaborated on specifying OAuth, an open authorization service for web services that controls third party access. OAuth became an Internet Engineering Task Force standard in 2010 and Version 2.0 is used for at least some services by

NFIP Hazard Mitiga-tGiroannt
s GThrraoungth Pthre oStgarffoarmd Act
Until the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act was passed
in 1988, Oklahoma had few resources to
cope with the dreadful and repetitive costs of
flood damage. Section 404 of the Stafford Act
enabled FEMA to offer grants to the states for
hazard mitigation following a major disaster
declaration: "The President, may contribute
up to 50 percent of the cost of hazard
mitigation measures which the President has
determined are cost-effective and which
substantially reduce the risk of future
damage, hardship, loss or suffering...". In
1993, amendments were made to Section
404 that greatly improved benefits to states
by increasing the federal government's share
in hazard mitigation from 50% to 75% and
allowing state and local shares in cash or in-kind
services or materials. It also increased the total contribution
of public and individual assistance from 10% to 15%.
In Oklahoma, the State Hazard Mitigation Officer (SHMO),
located at the Department of Emergency Management, is the
primary point of contact for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program,
the Flood Mitigation Assistance Program, and Pre-Disaster
Mitigation. Along with disaster preparedness and response, the
Department of Emergency Management works with the OWRB
and other state agencies to set criteria and recommend to FEMA
eligible hazard mitigation projects.
Following presidentially declared flood disasters, Water Board
staff assist the Oklahoma Department of Emergency
Management in identifying potential hazard mitigation projects.
Staff visit damaged sites and work with local officials to make
educated recommendations on projects that can prevent future
NFIP Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
Federal funding is available through the National Flood Insurance Fund (Flood Mitigation Assistance) to assist states and
communites in implementing measures to reduce or eliminate the long-term risk of flood damage to buildings, homes
and other structures insurable under the NFIP. Additional assistance is available through the National Pre-Disaster
Mitigation Fund to assist communites with hazard mitigation projects that complement existing local mitigation plans.
Contact the OWRB or FEMA to find out if your community is eligible for federal assistance.
National Pre-Disaster and Flood Mitigation Assistance

NFIP Hazard Mitigation Grant Program - Page 3
Many Oklahoma communities are putting
hazard mitigation to work. For many years,
the OWRB has been implementing hazard
mitigation efforts by working with
communities in directing development away
from the floodplain.
Applications for mitigation projects should be submitted within 60 days
after a presidentially declared disaster. Proposals for new projects must be
submitted within 90 days after FEMA approves the state plan.
Communities may use hazard mitigation grant money for the following:
• Acquisition and relocation of flood-prone structures and buildings
with histories of flood damage. Often, their value is less than the costs
of repair. FEMA's Hazard Mitigation Grant Program simply removes
those flood-prone structures from the costly repair/rebuild cycle.
• Structural hazard control, such as debris basins or floodwalls.
• Retrofitting, such as flood-proofing, to protect structures from future
• Channelization activities.
• Warning/flood alert systems.
• Disaster preparedness and mitigation planning.
• Development of state or local standards to protect
new and improved structures from disaster
Applying for Mitigation Projects
Specialists at the Water Resources Board, Oklahoma Department of Emergency
Management, and Federal Emergency Management Agency welcome the opportunity to
assist Oklahoma Communities in preparing a Hazard Mitigation Plan.

The Cost of
Repeated Flooding
Despite billions of dollars spent to prevent
flooding, rainfalls and rivers increasingly
continue to impact our lives and
livelihoods. Yet even after tragic and costly
flood events occur, development still
encroaches onto the floodplain and into
flood-prone lowlands.
Property owners who repeatedly file claims
for the same structures are draining the
National Flood Insurance fund. In
Oklahoma, there are currently 779
repetitive loss structures, each of which
has suffered flood damage in at least two
separate instances for a total of 2,301
losses and almost $35 million in claims.
The OWRB, FEMA, and
Oklahoma Department of
Emergency Management
are working together to
mitigate repetitive loss
claims by removing these
structures from harm's way.
National Flood
Insurance Program
The National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP), coordinated in
Oklahoma by the Oklahoma
Water Resources Board (OWRB),
is an important shelter from the
desolation of flooding. The NFIP
is a program of the Federal
Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). FEMA provides assistance
to states for disaster preparedness,
response, recovery, and
mitigation. Through the OWRB,
FEMA offers flood insurance
opportunities to communities that
agree to regulate development in
flood-prone areas. Today,
hundreds of Oklahoma
communities and counties
participate in the NFIP.
Oklahoma currently has 779
repetitive loss structures
totalling 2,301 losses and
almost $35 million in claims.

AC album cover ever "ruined" music for you?
edited May 2012 in Animal Tracks
well, not ruined, but have you ever felt one of their covers dont reflect the music? the only time i've felt this is with feels. i dont like to imagine the purple on the cover while listening
the sung tongs one never fit with the music for me sometimes i almost think of the INDIAN cover more for sung? which makes sense! the sun! nature! i think the rabbit vid is a big part of it too i dug the video still used for the rabbit single cover IT FITS!
and not that it'd fit with the music all that much but i think the deep sea diver as a cover would have been MUCH cooler than the fake goptical illusion for PMPP!
i love the sung tongs cover! also i use the SGTSTV/DM combo CD cover for just DM
i HATE it! i mean what even is it (REALLY!) it just don't fit! we must a-quit! / EQUIP!
The covers definitely effect the way I think about the songs. I usually reflect the song's "colors" on those of the album art without realizing it. Honeycomb and Gotham's album cover is perfect. And thanks for that Geo interview link Tic. It's really good.
Yes the interview was prety good Tic. As for covers, I think Tomboy's cover kinda made me think Tomboy is bland because of the cover, and whenever I listen to Tomboy all I can see and hear are black and white.
I feel that made me enjoy tomboy more
First time I listened through MPP, I thought it sounded too simple and predictable, only later realizing it was having seen the optical illusion cover and thinking that it was a far cry from all the awesome, detailed covers that came before it. After many listens I came to hear the depth and fell in love with MPP, but the simplicity of that cover definitely had an impact on me from the start.
Well i always think of AC as a colourful band, which is why im not a fan of Tomboy's black and white cover. Peacefish put it perfectly
Thank you, but the music to Tomboy is also more black and white for me. So I don't really know what to say about that, maybe that the cover DID make me think the album was a bit grey, anyways I still love the album no matter what colors the cover may be.
jeez all you Canadians and such
The Peacebone EP... God, that color scheme is just so... BLECH.
ha! it kind of IS like puppy guts! space mushrooms / the swing ride at the fair!
I feel you ticon on the purple with feels, sometimes it seems like it doesn't really fit the theme of the album. I can understand it though because they probably wanted purple for a reason.
The Purple Bottle maybe? Plus, isn't it more of a magenta instead of a bluish purple?
sort of a blush-green! violet... container! both the violins and the violence cannot contain her!
I don't really get how album art could ruin an album for someone, I can understand if you think it doesn't match the music well but to me music is music. I don't even care about the lyrics as long as the vocals sound good. I get that good lyrics and a good album cover enhance the music, but I don't get how they detract from them.
Well SOME lyrics can ruin music, and I do mean lyrics not vocals, but album art is pretty hard to ruin music. Even though Odd Blood had some terrible Album cover I still enjoyed parts of that album a lot.
Can you give me some examples Fisheh or anyone else of music ruined by lyrics (but not by vocals)?
I can't think of any by AC directly, and these are incredibly non-hipster examples, but: nine inch nails' "the perfect drug": that damn "stupid-eyed" lyric. great song, great music, the video is amazing (i do love edward gorey though...), the vocal is perfect, but that fucking lyric makes me want to arrrrrrgh. metallica's return to not-sucking was actually not bad, but there's a song where the lyric goes "what don't kill you makes you more strong", which he's fucking up a QUOTE, using the right word "stronger" would fit the rhyme and meter better and I just want to sit that guy down and give him remedial English lessons.
I mean, I guess I can't ask for examples of lyrics ruining songs because for me lyrics can't ever ruin songs. Your commented made me realize that Yukbon.
for me it's like a burr, just...you were *this* close to being amazing and instead you said The Wrong Thing and now I'm no longer listening to the song, I'm thinking about what a bad lyricist the song writer is.
Haha, well, I guess it's a blessing for me then. If there's any artist that would make me like that it would be Trent Reznor. BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS almost as subtle as RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE
"for me it's like a burr, just...you were *this* close to being amazing and instead you said The Wrong Thing and now I'm no longer listening to the song, I'm thinking about what a bad lyricist the song writer is". This is SO true Yukbon! I mean it doesn't happen often for me, but I think it is because I really listen to lyrics since i'm more of that kind of listener. I really don't know why, but lyrics always attract me to music and if the lyrics are really off, then I will probably be put off the whole song.
It's the same way for me too, Peacey, with lyrics. The lyrics are the basis for the mood of the song, and the music and lyrics should somehow balance off of eachother or else the song is ruined for me. Fortunately, AC has the best lyrics. They also help to specify the atmosphere of the song and to understand the thoughts and feelings of the lyricist which, to me, is important. I can't stand artists don't write their own music, it almost physically sickens me.
I dunno, to me most lyrics just kind of drift in and out of my head, as long as the tone is correct they could be saying "I like to rape trees" and I would be totally fine with it (although perplexed if I actually got around to reading the lyrics). Especially foreign music like Sigur Ros or AIR (when they sing in French), you have to rely entirely on how they singing it rather than what they're singing. I mean, hell, even Icelandic people don't know what Sigur Ros is ssaying, Jonsi's just kind of moaning going EEEEYyyyyyooooooooooooo! On some tracks Thom Yorke may was well be singing in a different language cause I have no clue what he's singing.
I didn't word what I said very well (I blame it on lack or sleep combined with illness causing delusion). I really love the lyrics to songs, especially AC songs. I know many times it is hard to understand what they are singing, and I usually fall in love with the sound of the music upon first listen. Although, the bands that I tend so end up loving have great lyrics imo. I love practically all AC songs, but there have been instances of when I didn't like a song but, upon hearing the lyrics I love and "understand" the song. Even just knowing part of the lyrics help to understand a song. I hated AC for over a year, before I read the lyrics to Bluish and fell in love with AC. Even the way the lyrics are manipulated (with vocal effects) are meaningful! The lack of sincere lyrics is the MAIN reason I hate mainstream music, besides the fact that it sucks.
Ohh man Radiohead's lyrics are so great, you really shouldn't be missing out on them, claude. Lyrics are important for me though, maybe that's why i dislike Sigu Ros so much. It's not Jonsi's singing or the music itself, its that the the noises he makes just sound fucking stupid. There's this one song where he goes "achooooooo achooooooo" in the chorus, and i just can't not think of sneezing when i listen to it. So i dont listen to it. It's the first song that's not called intro on Agaetis Byrjun, i believe
You hate mainstream music, Narny? All of it? I mostly kidding Suf, but he is hard to understand a lot of the time, especially in Kid A. Huh, that's funny what you said about Sigur Ros, I always heard "tye-hoooo" instead of "achoo". It does sound like sneezing though if I think about it, I never have in the past though.
vesufius, i think you're talking about svefn-g-englar (or whatever the title is) and claude is talking about the entirity of the () album I loved agaetis byrjun, and i can't stand () precisely because the only lyric on it is just that one bloody sound. i always hear it as "it's you". it's like the world's most obnoxious joke.
I was talking about Svefn-g-englar but it also applies to (). I like this quote from NPR, "Sung in a vaguely Scandinavian language of his own devising — he makes the sound "fyooooo" often enough that it might just mean "love" — the Icelandic band's songs are engrossingly strange, but always accessibly pretty." Ehehehehe I say all this not to mean I don't care about lyrics, just they aren't as important to me as the instrumentals and vocals. If they're good I don't need good lyrics, but it's certainly an added bonus. I think the lyrics I've been most profoundly impacted by is Wild Nothings' song Live in Dreams just cause that's exactly how I was feeling at the time.
Yeah, I pretty much can't stand mainstream music, but I should probably rephrase myself. I like popular bands that are not from this generation such as Pink Floyd and The Beatles. There are a few exceptions from this generation too, such as MGMT, Vampire Weekend and Kanye West. Though that's it. Most mainstream music is bleh, because many times to become mainstream one must "sellout", and that really bothers me.
its funny with mgmt cause their worst songs were the ones that became mainstream
Electric Feel is not that bad imo, but Kids on the other hand...
i never thought of Electric feel as mainstream. i love that song. although, i cant stand Kids or Pretend Time
I think Electric Feel is there most mainstream song. A couple times I have been watching television and have heard is being played in the background or something. It usually the only MGMT song I can get my friends to like. In my opinion, it epitomizes the neo-hippie fad which has emerged today. I used to like Kids but I heard it being played so much, and I realized how overrated it is. Time to Pretend is "bleh". My favorites would have to be Flash Delirum and It's Working.
Congratulations is ion's better than oracular spectacular
Yes, I agree completely.
their two best songs are Time 2 Pretend and KIDS! esp. KIDS! by far their best song! but that was the fall of 2007 i can see why by 2009 it felt pretty damn played out! but that can't take away! nothing on congrats could approach... those 2 songs! NO THING!!
let's not even talk about Glitter Penis!
I agree that almost any song that is overplayed can make a song less awesome, but regardless, I still like Kids and Thyme 2 Pretend just as much as It's Working and the rest of Congradulations. As albums, OS had nothing on Congradualations but then again, it's only my opinion.
of which you opine! as we all damn dine ON FINE WINE!
It's a fine time for that Fine Thyme Wine!!

Gen X Men Don the Apron and Cook More Than Twice as Much as Their Fathers
In recent years, modern men have defied stereotypes by stepping up to help more with childcare and housework — and now it seems they're cooking a lot more, too.
For 24 years, the Longitudinal Study of American Youth has studied Generation X, those individuals born between 1961 and 1981. The group's recent quarterly report states that while male Gen Xers are still the most likely to eat fast food, they spend twice as much time cooking as their fathers did, even before they get married.
"These young adults are very active with food," said study researcher Jon Miller of the University of Michigan, adding that the Gen X men "are more engaged in shopping and in cooking … they watch cooking shows, they read cooking articles, and they talk to their friends about cooking."
Married women still cook the most, preparing about 12 meals a week, compared with the 10 meals a week for single women and eight weekly meals for both married and single men. Still, Miller said there's a shift afoot, probably because there are so many two-income households these days.
"Our data shows that it's still not [split evenly], because it was so far behind to begin with," Miller said. "But, I think that for my grandchildren it will be dead even — it's changing generationally."
