While being stuck in a wheelchair, permanently or temporarily, isn't a stroll in the park, items do not need to stop for the person in question. You're still able to live a relatively normal life, and we must admit that a wheelchair provides you a part of your liberty back. It could have been worse if there were not wheelchairs in any respect. However, lucky for many people, they exist, and they have the potential of making your life more bearable. Moreover, as technology advanced, wheelchairs are becoming better and better in providing mobility and support, so let us take a moment and be grateful for this.
It is a waste of cash — renting a wheelchair in San Clemente, CA might not appear expensive at first, but when the bill climbs up, you might end up rather than buying just one at the first location. The business that rents wheelchairs will probably request a first charge, and after that you will be charged occasionally, depending on the length of time you need the seat for. In addition, do not forget about delivery and pick-up. Why would you spend all that money as soon as you're able to buy one for yourself? If you maintain it properly, after you're done with it, you are able to save it in a good price. Should you will need a wheelchair in a more permanent basis, leasing is from this question, but you see my point.
You may not get what you need — there is more than one type of wheelchairs, and you might need a specific model. Let's say that you want one with foot rests, but those that are available for rental won't provide exactly what you require. Do not settle and go with what you'll find. It is wise for those who listen to your physician and purchase exactly what you need. Settling can cause further inconvenience, and the objective is to get out of that seat as soon as possible. If getting rid of the seat isn't a possibility, then you have to devote your days at a chair that provides maximum comfort and stability. Otherwise, you wouldn't buy a wheelchair at the first location.
You won't receive a new wheelchair — wheelchair rental businesses provide chairs for everyone, so if anybody breaks you, it is going to be 'adjusted' and put back in stock. However, some harms cannot be undone, and you might wake up with a busted chair. It might not be serious, however a bent wheel can be quite inconvenient. You don't want for that, do you? A new seat comes with its own integrity intact, and that's what you need to want for. In the end, using something which someone else broke shouldn't be an alternative for you.
The motives mentioned above are only the tip of this iceberg, and surely you will find more. That's the reason I think it's better if you get a wheelchair and overlook everything about automobile rental.
Budgeting is a portion of everyone's life, and also wheelchair price is a very important aspect if you buy one. I don't know what are the wheelchair prices in San Clemente, CA, but they can begin from 80$ (low-end) and achieve as high as 12.000percent, which means top of the line and also have all types of features. While cost is important, do not forget to add quality at the equation. I know that you may reside in a budget, but comfort is more important in this instance.
Many folks in San Clemente, CA prevent spending too much money on a wheelchair. That is unless they are easily able to afford it. But while you will find high quality wheelchairs that cost a few hundred dollars, spending over a thousand bucks can bring you multiple advantages like elevating footrests, or even an electric wheelchair that is able to enable you to get up this hill. The point is that the more you invest, the more advantages you'll be able to enjoy. After all, the wheelchair is the way to independence. It is not the moment to be a cheapskate.
Many of you that are looking for the best wheelchair should be aware that weight is significant. The wheelchair weight will determine how simple you proceed around. Another aspect you need to think about is how much you're going to move. When you've got a job, for example, you might have to move a long time, which means a thick wheelchair will make that a little bit hard for you, especially in the event that you plan on having no aid.
The wheelchair weight is ordered by the materials used for the construction. Lucky for you, there are lightweight materials out there that can be as durable as possible. Require aluminum, for example. It is a tough metal, but very lightweight. Hybrids are also an alternative, but they are a bit costly. Alloys, on the other hand, are one of the cheapest materials. Ultimately, the decision is yours, and you might base your choice based upon your financial plan. However, remember that your meal weight is something that you should keep in mind before purchasing a specific item. In the end, you're the person who is going to push it around all day long.
Wheelchair accessories are created for the comfort and convenience. There are a couple things that you can buy with your own wheelchair, and here are the most commonly employed.
Foam cushions — they are the most frequently bought since they are the least expensive. While regular foam is comparatively comfy, my advice is to go with memory foam if you're searching for an affordable solution. High-density foams will keep their shape for longer, they will take the shape of your entire body, and as far as comfort goes, you'll enjoy lots. On the other hand, the drawback with foam wheelchair cushions is that they wear fairly fast, and you'll need to purchase a new one pretty soon.
Gel cushions — Just as the name suggests, a gel cushion consists of a foam base and a gel bladder in the middle. Those who have used gel and foam state that gel cushions are better for pressure sores, which can be something that each and every wheelchair user needs. Moreover, gel is intended to help you with keeping a wholesome posture, and you will be pain-free in your lower spine and tailbone. On the other hand, exactly like anything else, there's a disadvantage to this sort of cushions also. Gel bottoms-out, but kneading the pillow once per day may stop that from happening anytime soon.
Air flotation cushion — In case you do not know what that is, let me enlighten you. An air flotation cushion is made up of a specific number of balloons that match to keep you at a comfortable and healthier position. You've got the chance of adjusting the stress points by attaching a couple of balloons to prevent them from inflating. The only downside of the kind of cushions will be maintenance. In the end, we're referring to balloons. They could flow air, and you need to fix that if and when it occurs.
Urethane honeycomb — Last but not least, urethane honeycomb is the most recent technologies in futon cushions. That's because a urethane honeycomb cushion is composed of numerous different cells. As for support and comfort, this type is superb. Moreover, the air may circulate freely between both cells, which means that heat retention is impossible. Due to all those attributes, and since there are no drawbacks at all, this sort of cushion has become easily the most expensive of them all.
Only somebody who's bound to a wheelchair can comprehend the importance of a wheelchair ramp. The lack of accessibility is a true barrier for a handicapped person, which is the reason it's a good thing that many public spaces are obligated by law to set up wheelchair ramps. Nevertheless, you need to install one in your house too.
I am certain that you could discover many stores in San Clemente, CA which sell wheelchair ramps. Lucky for you, they are not very costly, but you need someone to install it. Nevertheless, make sure that you pick the wheelchair ramp incline you're comfortable with. You do not need to have the angle to be too high because that is likely to produce the climb hard for you. An angle that's too low is not good either since it occupies too much space. I guess that the perfect wheelchair ramp slope is contingent upon the individual and her or his body strength. Just remember to think about it when you purchase your ramp.
Keeping your wheelchair correctly is one of the things you should be conscious of. The greater you keep the chair, the further durable it's going to be. When you don't use it, then ensure that the wheelchair is kept in a dry and clean place. However, you can always purchase a wheelchair cover to aid with that. It is not expensive, and it will keep your chair tidy.
The ability to move from point A to point B is still another important aspect. Just because you're in a wheelchair doesn't imply that you can move only around your house or neighborhood. Lucky for you, there are a few things you may try. For starters, you can use a wheelchair van. It has an elevating system which will make entering and leaving the vehicle relatively straightforward. Such a vehicle may be a little costly, but it is going to help you with your freedom on extended distances. It is possible to go out and socialize more. It'll keep you away from melancholy.
in addition, if you like to travel in spite of your handicap, you may use a wheelchair RV. It's pretty much exactly the same since the automobile van, however rather than a car, you receive an RV. You can travel anywhere you need, and you receive the help you need to have in and out of the vehicle. A wheelchair RV is undoubtedly the best way of traveling for a handicapped individual.
Surviving isn't alive, so remember to delight in everything on your lifetime. There are tons of means of entertaining you can test out. It's possible to occupy a hobby or play a game. Did you know that you can play wheelchair football? It resembles regular soccer, except that you will be transferring the ball onto your own wheels. You ought to consider doing it.
In case you do not like wheelchair football, you always have the option to play some wheelchair basketball. Certainly there are wheelchair basketball teams in San Clemente, CA, and individuals who attend such sports events normally have loads of fun. Who says that person cannot be you. The purpose is that you can have fun regardless of what state you are in. All you need to do is seek out ways of entertainment for handicapped individuals in San Clemente, CA, and certainly your hunt will come up with some thing. Enjoy your own life! It is worth living it.
Once you become accustomed to it, a wheelchair will become a part of you. You will learn how to live your life inside, and you will be more than nice. Nonetheless, make sure that you make an informed choice when you buy a wheelchair. In addition, do not forget about the accessories, and buy the ideal wheelchair you can spend. After all, this can be the mobility we are referring to, and you deserve the best.

The 2018 Unibet Premier League Darts was a darts tournament organised by the Professional Darts Corporation – the fourteenth edition of the tournament. The event began on Thursday 1 February at the 3Arena in Dublin and ended with the play-offs at The O2 Arena in London on Thursday 17 May. This was the first year that the tournament is sponsored by Unibet.

Michael van Gerwen won his fourth Premier League title (and his third in a row, after winning in 2016 and 2017) by defeating Michael Smith 11–4 in the final.

This was also the first time that the event has had a round in Germany, when the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin hosted the 4th round on 22 February.

Storm Emma resulted in the Exeter round of the event being postponed on 1 March. This was the first time ever since the Premier League started in 2005 that a whole round in the league phase of Premier League Darts was postponed. The same extreme conditions would also go on to cause severe problems in the staging of that weekends UK Open in Minehead which resulted in the event having to be played entirely behind closed doors. In 2010, the play-offs were postponed for 24 hours after a power cut at Wembley Arena.

Format
The tournament format was identical to that since 2013. During the first nine weeks (Phase 1) each player played the other nine players once. The bottom two players were then eliminated from the competition. In the next six weeks (phase 2) each player played the other seven players once. Phase 2 consisted of four weeks where five matches were played followed by two weeks where four matches were played. At the end of phase 2, the top four players contested the two semi-finals and the final in the play-off week.

Venues

Players
The players in this year's tournament were announced following the 2018 PDC World Darts Championship final on 1 January, with the top four of the PDC Order of Merit joined by six Wildcards. This was the first time in the event's history in which Phil Taylor did not take part, following his decision to retire. Unlike in previous years the six wildcards were joint decisions by the PDC and Sky Sports this year. There were no PDC specific wildcards or Sky Sports specific wildcards.

The tournament was noteworthy for its high-number of debuting players. Rob Cross qualified by right due to being in the world's top four at the end of the season, with wildcards going to World Grand Prix champion Daryl Gurney, Champions League winner Mensur Suljović, and world number 12 Gerwyn Price. In fact, only four of the previous year's ten players (van Gerwen, Wright, Anderson and van Barneveld) were included this year.

Prize money
The prize fund remained the same as last year, £825,000.

I live in Linköping, Sweden and come from Norrköping.
I was born 1966 and started skating 1978. Was active until 1983 and returned again 1987. A few years later I had a long break before returning 2015. I now skate every week with my friend who are also seniors (but also with less old people).
It was described as something very bad here in Sweden. Hence it became very interesting for us. We were actually chased by the police occasionally, Staring riding ramps fairly early but also enjoyed freestyle.
I own too many boards… I ride a World Industries Prime Heritage Jef Hartsel Globes 10 Deck, Ace 55 trucks, and Skull skates 97A 56 mm wheels. Old school in other words.
Not all all apart from always wearing all protective gears there is. Broke my arm two years back and at my age it pays to wear proper pads and helmet.
Never. I am not a sports person. I do have a signature board with two friends but as one of them happens to own the brand it is because of me being a fanastic skater. For me this is pure fun and competition is against myself.
Ramps but nowadays not huge ones. Miniramps and bowls are fun. I sometimes do some flatland freestyle and have tried to street skate. Longboard is a more natural way to go to the shopping mall than cycling but that is a different thing.
Several. Pedro Barros is a current one, but in terms of style I have always enjoyed Steve Caballero who a saw back in 1981 for the first time a Eurocana Summer Camp here in Sweden.
I am professor in psychology. Managed pretty well www.gerhardandersson.se. Also practice as psychologist. Good thing with skating is that I totally forget about research and work when I skate.
Wake up, work, dinner with family, some TV or reading, sleep. And yes I eat as well. Coffe makes life easier.
Always a skate session with my friends. I also play in a small cover band and we rehearse every weekend as well. Spend time with wife and kids (if they are around).
Well I just received a research grants which pretty much keeps me busy at work. Managed this year to get over a phobia for rock into fakie which was the reason I broke my arm. Very happy when I got over it.
Any big plans for 2019 ? Regular skating and no broken bones.
Christmas is here, will you get any presents this year ?
Most likely. Food spending time with family is rewarding enough.
I have some skate friends and we see each other at least once a week skating and sometime two or even three times each week.
I was in Bulgaria for a conference. Travel less nowadays but need to because of my work.
Eddie Twardomanski and Pelle Stegander at a small bowl (Cogs) in a barn. They are just so great.
As mentioned I play in a cover band – Obstipation. Apart from music I am interested in religion and many other things as well. In fact, also the things I study at work. Lucky to be researcher.
Indian food. Too few here in Sweden so it is the first thing I do when I visit UK.
I like red wine, beer and cranberry juice. Already mentioned coffe.
It is very exciting times. When I returned I wrote a book with two friends about the history of skateboarding in my hometown, and also set up a webpage www.sk8norrkoping.se With regards to the future I guess the sport versus not a sport issue will be important. I am hoping that skateboarding will be even more popular and that the general public will realize that this is something for young and old men and women.
There are plenty of interesting people in Sweden. Patric Eldis Eldebrandt is one example.
Well at 52 I do suspect that there is an ending but hope to skate at least 8 more years. I am very impressed by guys at my age who are really great, like Tony Hawk.
Skateboarding is rewarding and fun.

After years of talking about it, the Chennai Metro Rail has started carrying out trials with its smart cards in the handheld electronic ticketing machines of the Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) buses. This means, in the near future, when the common ticketing system is implemented, commuters can use the Chennai Metro Rail's smart cards in MTC buses too.
According to officials in the Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL), they have been testing the smart cards in the handheld devices for several months now.
"It has been working quite well and whatever minor issues that have cropped up have being resolved. We will discuss further on how common ticketing system can be implemented soon," an official said.
The Chennai Metro Rail's smart card has 30 slots, which means apart from the one slot that will be used for MTC buses, it can be used at various places such as retail stores or parking lots.
The idea is to make sure that commuters need to carry just one card that can be used anywhere, officials said.
Delayed for years
But it is not clear why common ticketing system has been delayed for years now. The first service of the Chennai Metro Rail started three years ago, but this system has till now not taken off. In two weeks, the fourth and fifth stretch of the Chennai Metro Rail from Nehru Park to Chennai Central and Saidapet to AG-DMS too will begin.
And when operations start in these stretches, officials said, the number of people travelling


Heated Lash Curlers: Gimmick or Must-Have?
Okay, we'll admit it. We're among the terrified few who shy away from the metal loops of lash curlers, certain we'll rip out all our eyelashes or crimp our eyelids. Still, we know there has to be something to the appliance — why else would generations upon generations of beauty experts allow a tiny, metal guillotine so close to their eyes?
For the less-than-graceful, though, we've got a solution: heated lash curlers. As it turns out, these little gadgets are totally safe and easy. And, they really lock the curl in. You can get closer to the root without fear of lid-pinching, and they're fine to use over dry mascara for an eye-opening, midday refresh.

Sofia Arez
Sofia's World
Sílvia Chicó, 1998
Sofia's world is comparable to the turn of the last century to the present one. It seems invaded by strange forces and beings. It reveals itself in the artistic thought and multiple fictions, a crowd of beings from the past and future which insinuate themselves in the present as if they were amongst us and had acquired a face. At the beginning of the present century they were populated spiritism sessions and they largely fed on superstitions. Now they reappear with other forms, less menacing, beings from beyond, brought by fictions ranging from cinema to literature. They have been showing up in a very natural way ever since she gave her first but courageous steps in painting and sculpture.
Sofia Arez belongs to a generation where the «question of influences» has already been digested. We find a melting pot which takes us several known «isms» which characterize the history of art in the twentieth century. Sofia's art may be based in one of post-modernism main strengths full freedom to do and redo, but it is one step further the latter's connotative euphoria. I think that the taxonomy involved in art's criticism ought in certain cases to suppress itself in presence of situations which are generating new methodologies.
Her poetry makes us wish to say «Sofia's World», this Sofia who discovers the world and comes already with so much information. It's as if her eyes had already seen the history of the century with all its oscillations between visionary art and realism which portray troubled humanity. It's as if she wished to make a new history with another narrative logic, out of all those «histories».
Emergent figures, who are those characters? These modern day extra-terrestrials, which limbo do they evolve from, where are they going, what do they do? It is this somewhat visionary, but not necessarily surreal aspect which seems to me the most original contribution of Sofia Arez art. Her works show us figures who can be either still non-existent beings or human remnants, already lost from human's memory, but still existent. This young art comes to remind us how ephemeral our presence in the world is and how this may not necessarily mean death. This art is not speaking about dead, it is as if it told us that from this energy something will remain and that world still has a place for unknown entities who need not necessarily be terrible creatures.
In a time where a lot of young people express their creativity using a process, which integrates Conceptualism and the experiences resultant from that logic, Sofia Arez experience is a curious one, which she builds as if she were remembering something visionary or dreamlike.
Although the present exhibition presents relatively small works, previous experiences should be pointed out, where large dimensions were characteristic of two and three dimensional works. What else is there to say? From a setting where gold is the predominant colour, we only know that their author wishes to communicate us something consistent and maybe urgent. Future will tell.

Rock Types
Depositional Environment of the Wreford Megacyclothem (Lower Permian) of Kansas
By Donald E. Hattin
Originally published in 1957 as Kansas Geological Survey Bulletin 124. This is, in general, the original text as published. The information has not been updated.
The Speiser shale, Wreford limestone, and Wymore shale member of the Matfield formation were studied in east-central Kansas. More than 200 exposures were examined, of which 138 were measured and described. The results of this stratigraphic work have been incorporated into a correlation chart. Several completely exposed sections were sampled, representative specimens from each distinctive lithologic unit being collected for laboratory analysis.
Samples of rock from six key sections were examined in detail to collate information derived from observation of outcrops, polished surfaces of chert, polished and etched limestone surfaces, insoluble residues of limestones, washed shales, sand/shale ratio studies, and pipette analyses. In addition, thin sections were made of sandstones, limestones, and cherts; large blocks of limestone were etched in an acid bath; and three subsurface sections were examined.
A complete stratigraphic description of the outcropping rocks of the Wreford limestone and adjacent shales is presented. The sequence exhibits repetition of lithologies and faunas that is attributed to cyclic sedimentation. Two nearly complete cycles of deposition are recognized, the rocks of each constituting a cyclothem. The two cyclothems, which include strata extending from the middle of the Speiser shale to the middle of the Wymore shale, comprise the Wreford megacyclothem. Each of the major types of sedimentary rock is characterized by a distinctive fossilized biota (or lack of one) and is the product of a particular environment.
Sandstones and red shales are continental deposits. The sandstones are unfossiliferous, representing accumulation in ancient river channels; red shale, bearing sparse charophyte oogonia, accumulated in interfluve areas of a broad low plain that bordered the early Permian sea.
Green shales, grayish-yellow mudstones, and molluscan limestones were deposited in the area between the shoreline and the outer limit of marine waters of less-than-normal salinity. Ostracodes and fragmentary remains of other kinds of invertebrates are characteristic of the first two lithologies; Aviculopecten and Septimyalina characterize the third.
Calcareous shales represent deposition moderately far from shore in marine waters of normal salinity. These rocks contain the most abundant and taxonomically varied fauna of the megacyclothem. Derbyia, Dictyoclostus, Composita, and Chonetes are the dominant megafossils.
Cherty limestones were deposited during the stage of maximum transgression of the sea. Lack of inorganic clastic constituents suggests deposition in clear water far from shore. The fauna includes bryozoans and brachiopods as the dominant types.
Chalky limestones bearing little chert are a special development of the cherty-limestone phase of deposition. They locally form relatively thick reefs, which are dominantly composed of bryozoans and algal remains. The environment of deposition shoreward from the reefs is believed to have been governed partly by their presence.
Algal limestones are present in the regressive hemicycles of sedimentation and correspond in relative position to the transgressive molluscan phases. Some algal limestones are believed to be the product of a hypersaline environment. Algal limestones that contain large burrowing clams and are situated shoreward from the ancient reefs are interpreted as having accumulated in a somewhat brackish environment, because the associated invertebrate fossils are similar to those seen in transgressive molluscan limestones.
In the limestones that were deposited during maximum transgression there are two types of chert. Compact noncalcareous cherts are believed to be primary chemical precipitates; layered or laminated calcareous cherts formed from silica deposited more slowly than the noncalcareous cherts and owe their present appearance to changes that occurred during diagenesis.
The typical transgressive hemicycle in the Wreford megacyclothem begins with red shale (locally with a sandstone) followed, in upward order, by green shale, mudstone, molluscan limestone, calcareous shale, and cherty limestone (including local chalky-limestone reef development). The typical regressive hemicycle includes the same rock types in reverse stratigraphic order except that the molluscan limestone equivalent is commonly algal. Neither of the Wreford cyclothems is complete.
Subsurface sections in which the end members of the hemicycles can be detected indicate widespread distribution of the environments controlling the different phases of sedimentation.
Similar repetitions of lithologic types, each with its particular faunal assemblage, are seen in the stratigraphic sequence above the Wreford limestone up to and including the Winfield limestone.

Sarah Wynter (24) has joined the cast of FX's Damages in a recurring role on the series' third season, set to launch in early 2010. She joins the previously reported Reiko Aylesworth, Martin Short, Lily Tomlin, and Campbell Scott. Wynter will play a mysterious "'security specialist' helping a high-level assistant district attorney unravel" a financial scheme; Aylesworth will play the wife of Campbell Scott's character. [Editor: I've also just been informed that "Short's character is a high-powered attorney (family friend) who defends a prominent NY family accused of the financial scheme. Lily Tomlin plays the matriarch of the family."] (Hollywood Reporter)
Life on Mars creators Ashley Pharoah and Matthew Graham have been commissioned by BBC Worldwide new drama czar Jane Tranter to write the script for an ABC drama pilot described as a "California cop show with a British twist." Should the project--executive produced by Julie Gardner--go to pilot, it would be produced by BBC Worldwide's Los Angeles production team and Pharoah and Gardner would remain heavily involved, unlike their limited creative involvement with the US version of Life on Mars.

The Chicago Tribune's Maureen Ryan is reporting that Starz comedy series Party Down will return for its second season in April. Ken Marino, Adam Scott, Martin Starr, Ryan Hansen, and Lizzy Caplan are set to return for Season Two and will be joined by new series regular Megan Mullally. Kristen Bell, Jane Lynch, J.K. Simmons, Joey Lauren Adams, Steve Guttenberg (playing himself), and Christopher Mintz-Plasse are all set to guest star this time around. (Chicago Tribune's The Watcher)
CBS has cut back the episodic order this season for procedural drama Numb3rs from a full 22 episodes to just 16. Many, including Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello, are viewing the decision as a sign that it might be the final season for Numb3rs and that Canadian co-pro Flashpoint might take over the Friday night timeslot. Elsewhere at the network, CBS increased the episodic orders for How I Met Your Mother, NCIS, NCIS: LA, CSI: Miami, and Two and a Half Men to 24 installments, while Criminal Minds, CSI: NY, The Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife, CSI, and The Mentalist, have all been bumped to 23 installments.

FX is developing period Western Reconstruction, about a wealthy East Coaster shaken by war who takes refuge in a Missouri town during the post-Civil War reconstruction. Project hails from executive producers Joshua Brand and Peter Horton; Brand will write the script while Horton is attached to direct. (Hollywood Reporter)
HBO is developing a telepic based on Mark Bowden's nonfiction book "Guests of the Ayatollah: The Iran Hostage Crisis, The First Battle in America's War with Militant Islam" about the 444-day hostage crisis involving 66 Americans seized and held hostage for over a year. Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center) has been attached to adapt the book and William Horberg will executive produce. (Variety)
Entertainment Weekly's Lynette Rice is reporting that ABC, Mark Gordon, and Roland Emmerich are developing a series-based sequel to their upcoming disaster film 2012. "The plan is that it is 2013 and it's about what happens after the disaster," Emmerich told Entertainment Weekly. "It is about the resettling of Earth. That is very, very fascinating. (2012 writer/producer) Harald Kloser and I came up with the idea and we have the luxury of having a producer on the film who is a big TV producer, Mark Gordon. We said to Mark, 'Why don't you do a TV show that picks up where the movie leaves off and call it 2013?' I think it will focus on a group of people who survived but not on the boats... maybe they were on a piece of land that was spared or one that became an island in the process of the crust moving. There are so many possibilities of what they could do and I'd be excited to watch it." (Entertainment Weekly's Hollywood Insider)
NBC has signed a first look deal with Don Cheadle's production company Crescendo, which has several projects already set up at NBC, ABC, TNT, and FX, including an ABC drama based on feature film The Star Chamber with writer Zack Estrin attached and an NBC cop drama from The Shield's John Hlavin.

TVGuide.com's Natalie Abrams talks to Arielle Kebbel, who guest stars in Thursday's episode of the CW's Vampire Diaries as vampire Lexi. "She is about as much fun as anyone who's 300-and-something years old," said Kebbel about Lexi, an ancient friend of Stefan's. "She's this burst of energy, a complete life force. It's safe to say she's pretty much been everywhere, seen everything, lived every moment and that makes her even stronger, even more confident, even more sarcastic because she has all of this life experience behind her."

Jace, the information given about Martin Short's character is incorrect. Short's character is a high-powered attorney (family friend) who defends a prominent NY family accused of the financial scheme. Lily Tomlin plays the matriarch of the family.
The high-level ADA is a different character.
Just to clarify...

Thanks for the tip, RT! I've adjusted it above to clarify and included the info you shared. Many thanks!

Regardless of who he's playing, I think it's fascinating that Martin Short is going to be in Damages. I am very interested to see how both he and Lily Tomlin fit into the show.

I look forward to seeing the BBC's California Cop show. Julie Gardner rarely disappointed me in her time at BBC drama. I'm hoping their streak holds.

Why we root for characters who do bad deeds
April 27th, 2016 Posted by Boston University
"If you had a really bad day and did something you weren't proud of, you could go home and turn on a show that features moral ambiguity and bad characters—and feel significantly better about yourself," says Mina Tsay-Vogel. A viewer could watch Dexter, for example, and think, "At least I'm not as bad as Dexter." (Credit: Dani Lurie/Flickr)
TV shows, movies, and books are full of characters we root for despite their despicable acts. Consider Dexter, the honorable serial killer, Walter White, the meth-cooking family man, and Arya Stark, the young assassin who seeks to avenge her slain family.
"Morally ambiguous characters can actually make people feel better about their own actions in the real world."
To make sense of viewers' engagement with shows and stories featuring morally complex characters, Mina Tsay-Vogel, an assistant professor of communication at Boston University's College of Communication, is looking beyond the past research that suggests viewers get the most enjoyment from watching good characters win and bad characters lose.
This argument is too simplistic for studying narratives that are constructed to encourage viewers or readers to empathize with morally complex characters, she says. For example, Dexter (from Showtime's hit show by the same name) is a serial killer, but there's a compelling reason for his depravity, says Tsay-Vogel, also the co-director of the Communication Research Center.
"You learn about his childhood and you start empathizing" with him—as a child he witnessed his mother's murder; as an adult, he helps stop (and take out) other killers. Characters like Dexter complicate our concept of good, "so, you're not always rooting for good and hoping that agony and suffering happens" to characters who do bad things.
Motivations matter
In a 2013 study published in the journal Mass Communication and Society, Tsay-Vogel and K. Maja Krakowiak, an associate professor of communication at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, tested how character motivation and a story's outcome influence how we feel about characters.
They asked two groups of study participants ages 19 to 30 to read different versions of a story in which the protagonist commits an action (which Tsay-Vogel is keeping secret as it is also featured in an ongoing study) that seems negative: In one version, his motivation is selfish, while in the other, it is altruistic.
Tsay-Vogel and Krakowiak learned that when a character commits a negative action but is motivated by altruism, we are more likely to see that character in a positive light. In the AMC show Breaking Bad, for example, chemistry teacher Walter White begins to cook meth—but the fact that he has been diagnosed with cancer and is motivated by the desire to ensure that his family is provided for after his death makes him an empathetic character.
[For a price, even babies will 'deal with the devil']
The researchers also found that people tend to see a character in a more positive light if the story outcome is positive, even if the character's action is selfishly motivated. In the Harry Potter series, for example, wizard Severus Snape envied the eponymous hero's father, which indirectly led to the parents' murder by Lord Voldemort—but Snape ultimately helped defeat Voldemort, for which most Potter fans (and even Harry Potter) considered him a hero.
'At least I'm not as bad as Dexter'
When justifying a character's actions in this way, we are committing moral disengagement, a condition Tsay-Vogel and Krakowiak explored in a study published in the journal Human Communication Research in 2015.
This study tested how our feelings about ourselves play into our responses to morally complex characters. They asked one group of participants to write a series of actions they were proud of, and a second group to write a series of behaviors of which they were ashamed. Those who were primed to feel bad about themselves before reading about a morally ambiguous character enjoyed the story more than those who felt good about themselves.
So, "if you had a really bad day and did something you weren't proud of, you could go home and turn on a show that features moral ambiguity and bad characters—and feel significantly better about yourself," Tsay-Vogel says. A viewer could watch Dexter, for example, and think, "At least I'm not as bad as Dexter."
[Brain 'tunes in' when our enemies suffer]
"Morally ambiguous characters," she says, "can actually make people feel better about their own actions in the real world. We call this term morality salience, which is making people aware of their own moral actions" and how our standards influence our engagement with morally complex characters.
When we watch a character commit a negative action and we excuse or justify their behavior, we are loosening our moral standards for the sake of enjoying the story, Tsay-Vogel says. We don't all morally disengage to the same degree, however, and some of us don't morally disengage at all.
Tsay-Vogel has found that our ability to justify a character's actions is driven largely by the degree to which we identify with that character, as well as how much we think we are similar to that character. Viewers who see the world and a character's motivations through the lens of that character are more likely to morally disengage and enjoy the viewing experience.
Do viewers want fun or meaning?
Our reasons for spending a few hours watching a show play a part, too—are we kicking back and having fun or trying to get our gray matter whirring? In a 2016 study published in the journal Communication Research Reports, Tsay-Vogel and Krakowiak report that audiences who primarily seek pleasure from entertainment are more likely to morally disengage or justify characters' immoral behaviors, which allows them to feel greater enjoyment.
Those who are more focused on seeking meaning from entertainment are less tolerant of characters' negative actions (possibly because these viewers have stricter moral standards), so they experience less enjoyment.
For content creators, there's a valuable lesson here: "If you show characters doing a morally ambiguous action, but you don't focus on the altruism behind it, or if the outcome is negative, you are not going to get people to like the characters or enjoy what they are seeing because they can't justify the characters' actions," Tsay-Vogel says.
To keep viewers interested, she suggests "focusing on character motivations and ensuring the story outcome is very clear; so even if there are ambiguous actions, they still produce relatively positive outcomes."

I'm not who I used to be….The remark, whispered by a stranger on the street to Irene Kelly, becomes all the more unnerving when the newswoman realizes she knows the man. He's Lucas Monroe, her former college instructor who had looked forward to a brilliant future. Now he's a derelict in hiding, an unlikely suspect in blackmail and murder. What happened to Monroe's life strikes Irene as bizarre. But it's what happens to him in death that fills her with dread. Her long-lost mentor is found murdered, and whatever the picturesque town of Las Piernas is hiding has made some people very rich, very guilty, and very dangerous.

The Telangana government will soon launch its own e-wallet, named as T-Wallet in association with Bengaluru-based fintech startup Transaction Analysts. The app will initially be available on Android and iOS platform.
The wallet can be accessed for both government and private transactions in the state. It will also help the departments to ease off transactions in government-related programmes like pensions, scholarships and more.
While Vijaya Bank will act as the banking partner, the T Wallet app will use two-factor authentication – either Aadhaar+OTP or Aadhaar+Biometric. Also, those who do not have a mobile phone can avail the service at MeeSeva or e-Seva centres.
"After demonetisation, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao guided us in bringing about a seamless digital transaction system for the citizens, which led to the birth of T-Wallet," said Telangana IT Minister K T Rama Rao, in an official statement.
As mentioned on the official website, the wallet was to be launched on December 14, 2016, in the wake of the demonetisation drive by PM Narendra Modi across the country. "The aim of Telangana Chief Minister KCR is to launch the Telangana Wallet mobile application to promote cashless transactions in the state," as stated on the website.
In February 2017, reports also surfaced that the state government was pushing back the launch of e-wallet as it required highly effective security standards. Also, there was troubles in receiving the wallet license from the RBI.
In the past few years, Telangana has emerged as a hub for logistics and startup development activities. Major companies such as Flipkart, Amazon, NASSCOM, T-Hub and more have made Telangana a centre for development and business growth. For instance, in March 2016, Amazon India announced to infuse fresh investments in the state to launch its biggest campus in India and largest campus outside the US. Prior to that, in January 2016, NASSCOM 10,000 Startup Program in partnership with the Government and also inaugurated the T-Hub NASSCOM Startup Warehouse in Hyderabad.
With the launch of the T-Wallet, Telangana is embarking upon another milestone. With the e-wallet space already crowded with existing players like Paytm, MobiKwik, PayUMoney, State Bank Buddy, Jio Money Wallet, etc – having a pan India presence – it will be interesting to see how a state-owned mobile wallet gains traction and acceptance with the people.

Villanova Men are the Big East Champs
Featured by Gale Morrison, posted in Sports & Games
The Beast of the East
By Connor Walsh
Villanova Men's basketball team are the Big East Champions for the third time in a row.
The Wildcats defeated the Seton Hall Pirates on March 16, 2019, 74 to 72, for the Big East title. The game was at Madison Square Garden and it was played in front of a sold out crowd. There were 19,756 people and I was lucky to be there.
When I sat down in my seat, I was so excited to be at the game. I was on the Seton Hall side so I heard cheering for Seton Hall. The bands were playing the Seton Hall and Villanova fight songs. Everybody around me were wearing Seton Hall jerseys. That made me proud to be a Villanova fan.
Myles Powell led the Seton Hall Pirates with 25 points and the rest of the team only had 40 points combined. Villanova had four lead scorers and they were Eric Paschall with 17 points, Phil Booth with 16 points, Saddiq Bey with 16 points, and Jermaine Samuels with 12 points.
This game was so close the whole time, with many lead changes. There were many questionable calls causing the fans to stand up and boo!
At the end of the first half the score was 28 to 26, in favor of Villanova. In the second half, the teams each scored 46 more points. At three minutes left to play, Samuels drilled a 3 to make Villanova's lead 7 points. I could see the sweat dripping down the players as they fought for the win.
Luckily, Seton Hall's Powell missed a 3-pointer, so Villanova could clutch another title. The Nova players celebrated and confetti fell from the ceiling. Shortly after the game, there was a ceremony honoring the Cats with the winning trophy. Phil Booth was named the MVP. The Cats did it again!

Andrew Newell Wyeth (* 12. Juli 1917 in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania; † 16. Januar 2009 ebenda) war ein US-amerikanischer realistischer Maler, einer der bekanntesten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er wird mitunter als der "Volksmaler" bezeichnet, weil er in den USA so populär ist. Seine Lieblingsmotive waren das Land und die Einwohner rund um seine Heimatstadt Chadds Ford in Pennsylvania und um seinen Sommerwohnsitz bei Cushing in Maine. Sein bekanntestes Werk, und eines der bekanntesten der US-amerikanischen Kunst des 20. Jahrhunderts, ist Christina's World, das im Museum of Modern Art in New York City hängt.

Leben

Kindheit und frühe Karriere
Andrew Wyeth war der Sohn von N. C. Wyeth, einem berühmten US-amerikanischen Illustrator und Künstler. Als jüngstes von fünf Kindern wurde er zuhause unterrichtet und lernte die Kunst von seinem Vater. Als er 1937 zwanzig Jahre alt war, hatte er seine erste Einzelausstellung in der Macbeth Gallery in New York City. Die ganze Ausstellung war schnell ausverkauft, und Wyeths Karriere hatte begonnen. 1940 heiratete er Betsy Merle James (1922–2020), die er ein Jahr zuvor in Maine kennengelernt hatte. Betsy stellte ihn Anna Christina Olson vor, die später das Modell zu seinem Bild Christinas Welt wurde. Christina, ihr Bruder Alvaro und ihr verwittertes Haus wurden über zwanzig Jahre lang wichtige Motive seiner Kunst. Betsy James Wyeth spielte in der Karriere ihres Mannes eine führende Rolle und hat ihn immer sehr unterstützt.

Tod des Vaters/1940er-Jahre
1945 wurden Andrew Wyeths Vater und sein dreijähriger Neffe getötet, als ihr Auto in der Nähe ihres Hauses auf den Schienen stehen blieb und von einem Zug erfasst wurde. Wyeth sagte immer, dass dieses Ereignis nicht nur eine persönliche Tragödie, sondern auch prägend für seine künstlerische Laufbahn war. Kurz danach erreichte seine Kunst ihren reifen und dauerhaften Stil, für den eine gedämpfte Farbpalette, eine realistische Darstellung und die Verwendung emotional geladener symbolischer Objekte typisch war. 1948 malte Wyeth Anna und Karl Kuerner, die in Chadds Ford ihre Nachbarn waren. Neben den Olsons in Maine wurden die Kuerners und ihre Farm für die nächsten dreißig Jahre eines seiner wichtigsten Motive.

Spätere Karriere
Während er seine Zeit teils in Maine, teils in Pennsylvania verbrachte, hat Wyeth über fünfzig Jahre lang einen relativ konsistenten realistischen Stil beibehalten. Er legte seinen Schwerpunkt auf einige wenige Landschaften und Modelle, die in seinen Bildern immer wieder zu erkennen sind und zu denen er über Jahrzehnte immer wiederkehrte.

Üblicherweise fertigte er Dutzende von Studien mit Bleistift oder Aquarell an, um dann das eigentliche Bild zu malen, mal als Aquarell, mal in einer Art Trockenmalen mit Wasserfarben oder in Eitempera. Mit seinem wachsenden Ruhm erzielen seine Werke immer höhere Preise, zuletzt erhielt er von privaten Sammlern und auf Auktionen mehr als eine Million Dollar pro Bild.

Reaktionen der Kritik
Sein Stil war lange Zeit umstritten. Sein realistischer Malstil bildete einen großen Gegensatz zur Abstraktion, die ab der Mitte des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts in den USA üblich war. Museumsausstellungen seiner Werke fanden großen Zulauf, aber viele Kunstkritiker lehnten seinen Stil ab. Der häufigste Vorwurf war, dass seine Bilder eigentlich Illustrationen seien, und dass er aus Sentimentalität Personen und Landschaften male, die ihm am Herzen liegen. Bewunderer seiner Werke sind der Meinung, dass sie zusätzlich zu der Schönheit seiner Motive auch starke Gefühle ausstrahlen, sehr symbolhaltig sind und eine unterschwellige Abstraktion besitzen. Nach Meinung der meisten Betrachter seiner Werke benutzte er Wasserfarbe und Eitempera mit großer Kunstfertigkeit. Wyeth hatte es nach anfänglichen Experimenten vermieden, traditionelle Ölfarben zu verwenden.

Die "Helga"-Bilder
Eine kontroverse Episode in seiner Karriere umgab eine Reihe von Werken, die Wyeth von Helga Testorf malte, einem Modell, das er durch die Familie Kuerner in Chadds Ford kennenlernte. Wyeth begann 1971, Helga zu malen, und über fünfzehn Jahre lang war sie eines seiner wichtigsten Modelle. Im Gegensatz zu seinen anderen Werken enthielt er aber die "Helga"-Bilder der Öffentlichkeit vor. Nicht einmal seine Frau Betsy durfte sie sehen. Er zeigte sie ihr erst 1985 und verkaufte sie im folgenden Jahr an Leonard Andrews, einen Privatkäufer. Andrews erregte mit diesen Bildern große Aufmerksamkeit, und viele große Museen wollten sie ausstellen. Die Medien brachten die Geschichte über Wyeths geheime Bilder, unterschwellig andeutend, dass er mit dem Modell eine Affäre gehabt hatte. Nach den Ausstellungen verkaufte Andrews die Bilder mit großem Profit an einen anonymen japanischen Industriellen. Einige Museumsleiter hatten das Gefühl, Wyeth habe sie benutzt, um die Bilder besser verkaufen zu können. Einige Kunstkritiker hielten die Geschichte mit dem geheimen Bilderversteck für eine Inszenierung. Andere bewunderten einfach die Bilder. Nach dem Verkauf an den Industriellen wurden die Bilder oft in Museen in den USA und Japan ausgestellt. Im Dezember 2005 kaufte sie dann ein US-Amerikaner, der sie wahrscheinlich einzeln weiterverkaufen wird.

Museumssammlungen
Die Bilder von Andrew Wyeth befinden sich in den Sammlungen der meisten größeren US-amerikanischen Museen, eingeschlossen das , das  und das  in New York City und in der Hauptstadt Washington das , die  und das Weiße Haus. Besonders viele Bilder von Wyeth besitzen das  in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, das  in Rockland, Maine, und das  in Greenville, South Carolina.

Preise und Auszeichnungen
1945 wurde Andrew Newell Wyeth in New York zum Mitglied (NA) der  gewählt. 1950 wurde er in die American Academy of Arts and Letters, 1960 in die  und 1967 in die  gewählt. Er war Träger vieler Auszeichnungen, darunter 1963 als erster Maler der Freiheitsmedaille des Präsidenten, die John F. Kennedy wieder eingeführt hatte. 1976 wurde er als auswärtiges Mitglied in die französische  aufgenommen. 1980 war Wyeth der erste lebende US-amerikanische Künstler, der in Großbritanniens  zum Ehrenmitglied (Hon.RA) gewählt wurde. 1987 verlieh ihm das  die Ehrendoktorwürde. 1990 überreichte Präsident George H. W. Bush ihm die Congressional Gold Medal.
2007 erhielt Wyeth die .

Q: CentOS7 Dracut lvm command not found I updated CentOS7 kernel because of Meltdown issue from 3.10.0-693.11.1 to 3.10.0-693.11.6, but after that update, I cannot boot as centos drop to the dracut with error
warning /dev/mapper/centos-root does not exist

dracut:/# ls /dev/mapper/
control
dracut:/#

It looks like my initrd is wrongly configured, I can still boot 3.10.0-693.11.1 without any issue.
I am trying to debug this (there are a lot resources online) but it looks that I am missing something fundamentally here as I cannot execute lvm command
dracut:/# lvm scan
sh: lvm: command not found
dracut:/# ls /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
ls: cannot access /etc/lvm/lvm.conf: No file or dictionary
dracut:/# ls /etc/lvm
ls: cannot access /etc/lvm: No file or dictionary

I saw that usually problem with tools is caused by missing binaries in /sbin, so I botted stabile kernel and checked:
root@localhost ~# ls /sbin/lvm
/sbin/lvm
root@localhost ~# which lvm
/sbin/lvm

So binary is at correct place, but for some reason dracut is not seeing it inside /sbin.
My grub configuration for 3.10.0-693.11.1 and 3.10.0-693.11.6 is almost identical
#: after update kernel params
linux16 /vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/centos-root ro crashkernel=128M rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rdshell
#: before update kernel params
linux16 /vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/centos-root ro crashkernel=128M rd.lvm.lv=centos/root rd.lvm.lv=centos/swap rdshell

Here I struggled a little bit: I went through dracut man page and there a lot of options for LVM, I pressume autodiscovery is not working but why it works for previous kernel and newer has an issue?
Also how I can get working lvm tools on initram, to debug it further?
Thank you for any advice!
UPDATE:
Running lsinitrd -m -k show that there is no lvm module inside ramdisk

I was trying to add lvm kernel driver to initram image but unfortuneatly that failed without any visible issue:
dracut --add-drivers  lvm /boot/initramfs-3.10.0-693.11.6.el7.x86_64.img

dracut[27939]: Failed to install module lvm

adding -v doesn't point to anything usefull.

A: I had this problem. I fixed it by:
logging into a live cd (recovery should be fine too)
cp /etc/dracut.conf /etc/dracut.conf.bak

nano /etc/dracut.conf

Ammending the following lines to:
# dracut modules to add to the default
add_dracutmodules+="lvm"

# install local /etc/mdadm.conf
mdadmconf="yes"

# install local /etc/lvm/lvm.conf
lvmconf="yes"

(You probably won't need mdadmconf, I added it as I have Raid.)
Rerun dracut -f for my kernel. Reboot.
This got me passed the lvm issue. I now have issues sysroot not mounting (it drops me into a recovery shell). I will update when fixed.

A: Make sure the lvm2 package is intalled.
yum install -y lvm2

Are you a person who thinks you need to be a well-mannered princess-like lady that is soft and subservient in order to win a guys heart? Do you maybe think itrrrs very your career to complete anything at all to maintain your guy pleased? It`s not unusual - most women have been raised to trust that when you are docile and submitting on the will in the man, they`ve got the best chance of keeping his passion forever.
The first varieties of predators use online dating sites to scam you form of hosting information. Beware anybody that wants to talk with you right away. To protect yourself, and to get a full on anyone, you ought to be chatting, emailing, and after that build up to telephone calls way before you discuss a conference.
Well, as strongly s you could feel towards contrary, you NEED TO BE THAT PERSON WHO IS OUT OF YOUR WOMAN`S LEAGUE! Or at least put up an excellent show t that effect. AT the same time please DO NOT be obvious about this. For instance, you should NOT be described as a push over, be an enigma, be described as a challenge. Do something unpredictable now and then. This really, does work. If you catch a lady aback, you no doubt know she`s sold on you!
For anchortext instance, if you are dating somebody that is constantly late for the dates, and you also carry on and go on it, you simply set the necessity that being late is ok along. If that isn`t the case, you have to address the problem. That conversation doesn`t have to be a battle, merely a requirement that you will be setting by yourself. Telling your date that you simply expect the crooks to be by the due date shouldn`t be a worry. If being late continues, you`ll be able to cancel future dates until such time as possible be respected. Don`t kid yourself; someone causing you to wait, over and over again, is disrespectful for you.
However, being agreeable at as a man isn`t enough. You also should consider, what it way to lead a successful and fulfilled life. A man`s character makes him a person, but his success and accomplishments define his abilities. It is with the sum total of the successful days that you`ll understand the most critical things in your lifetime. This knowledge can give context for your a sense manhood, and help you focus on your own private identity.


This tutorial was written on March 19, 2013. I used Corel X3, but it should work in other versions as well.
A tube of choice. I used a beautiful tube from Sherri Baldy.
Her tubes can be purchased at My Tubed Art.
A scrapkit of choice. I used a kit called "[THE]easterkit_addon" by Vero.
This was FTU at DigitalCrea at the time this tutorial was written.
Mask of choice. I used a mask named "sg_tinyhearts" by EssexGirl.
Open a new blank canvas, 700x700 px.
Select All with the selection tool and paste paper PP7 in to selection. Deselect.
Paste in EL21 and resize it by 40%. Move it down a little bit so it looks like it rests on top of the grass. See my tag for reference.
Add a new layer and floodfill with a colour from the tube.
Add another layer and floodfill with another colour from the tube.
On the top floodfilled layer, hit delete on your keyboard.
Delete the black striped layer.
Merge the top striped layer down to the floodfilled layer.
Go back to the top layer and with your Magic Wand active, click inside the frame.
Expand the selection by 3, Invert. Go back to the striped layer and hit delete.
It's time to add the tube before we add any other elements, so add your tube and place to your liking. I placed it so it looks like she is standing on the grass.
Hide the background layer and crop your creation with Merged Opaque.
Unhide your background again and add a mask of choice.
Merge group and duplicate the masked layer. Merge down.
Set your foreground and background to a colour of choice. I chose white.
Activate the Text Tool – font size 40 pixels, antialias smooth.
Go to the striped layer write "Happy Easter". Center in canvas and convert to raster.
Activate the striped layer – select all – float – defloat - invert.
Go to the Happy Easter layer and hit delete.
Add the same drop shadow as earlier.
Resize the tag. I resized mine to 500 px on the longest side.

"Poem" is a song by American alternative metal band Taproot and the lead single from their second major label album, Welcome. It was released in 2002 and met with the highest success of any Taproot single, reaching #5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks. The track, as well as its music video, were heavily played throughout the several months following its release.

Overview
During the production of Welcome, Taproot had given producer Toby Wright roughly 40 complete songs to which he said were not up to their potential and forced them to start from scratch. However, "Poem" was actually written long before the band started working with Wright. Guitarist Mike DeWolf elaborated:

"That's actually the first song we wrote for the album. . . We played it at the 2001 Ozzfest and there was a big reaction. The kids went nuts for it even more than to our other songs that they'd heard a million times before. In production we changed little things here and there to make it stronger, but it's basically the same song."

"Poem" was performed on the December 13, 2002 edition of Last Call with Carson Daly. The band was late due to weather troubles in Chicago but treated the audience to a half-hour set. A live version of the song was included on the Music as a Weapon II album in 2004.  "Poem" was also featured on the soundtracks for both MVP Baseball 2003 and True Crime: Streets of L.A.

The popular single begins with a few solo guitar chords before breaking into a heavy introduction. The singing style continuously shifts back and forth between harsh and clean vocals, and its chorus lyrics reference the instructions seen on fire alarms ("In case of fire, break the glass and move on into your own").

Music video
Taproot worked with directing team Brothers Strause, whose other work includes Linkin Park and Godsmack, on the music video for "Poem." Shooting took place on August 8 and 9 in Los Angeles with broadcasts beginning in early September 2002. The "Poem" video has Taproot performing inside a crumbling old house. A young man and woman are seen intensely kissing and groping one another amidst the chaotic destruction of the building. Vocalist Stephen Richards unpleasantly bears witness to the couple as he sings, giving the impression of a bitter history between them.

Track listing

The songs "Transparent" and "Free (Succeed)" were recorded during the Welcome sessions but ultimately cut from the album. They were instead included as B-sides to the "Poem" single. "Free (Succeed)"'s lyrics however, still remain on the US pressing of "Welcome."

Andre 3000 collaborates with Frank Ocean; new Andre album "hopefully" this year
Andre 3000 has collaborated with Frank Ocean, on the latter's new album Channel Orange.
At a listening party in New York, US press were given the first change to hear the hugely anticipated second full-length – and first album, "proper" – from the Odd Future affiliate and 'Novacane' crooner. The Boom Box report that like Nostalgia, Ultra, Ocean's first album, the tracks on Channel Orange are tied together by short interludes (" video game sound effects, dialogues and planes taking off and crashing"), while Ocean's backing borrows from "jazz, rock and electro".
Perhaps most interesting, however: Outkast's Andre 3000 [above] appears on a track towards the close of the album, which depending on which report you read, is either titled 'Pleasure' or 'Pink Matter'.
Speaking of Andre, Boom Box also report that in a recent-ish interview with GQ, he reveals that his new solo album will be released "hopefully this year." We'll see. Ocean's Channel Orange has a more concrete release date: July 17. You can stream lead single 'Pyramids' below.

Are you washed up at 27?
Another day, another email from some guy who is 27 years old and thinks he is too old to lose fat.
Listen, you are definitely not too old to transform your body if you are 27.
Seriously, I get emails all the time from guys who think they are "too old to lose fat at 27". Can you believe that?
What would YOU say to these guys?
One thing I'd tell them is that they need to plan and prepare.
After all, "Failing to plan is planning to fail".
Cliche, but true. If you want to change, or if you want to succeed in the TT Transformation Contest, you need to take an hour today or this weekend planning out the rest of 2010. Identify the obstacles in your way and come up with at least 2 solutions for each of them. Plan your meals & workouts. Recruit your social support. And identify the real reason causing you to change.
1 banana, frozen straweberries, 1.5 peaches, spinach (you can't taste it), 2 cups almond milk, Garden of Life raw protein powder, cacao nibs, and walnuts.
Bally's current snack of the day: "Thinkers". Wild salmon with added gingko biloba. Seriously.
.... post your entry on that site, not here. Contest ends Friday night. Winners announced next week.
