Badfish," the quintessential song by Sublime, with its great melody, lyrics and a memorable guitar solo, is a favorite when performed and is a fitting name for a tribute band. Badfish (the band) covers the popular reggae-meets-ska-punk infused music of Sublime—possibly the most energetic, eclectic band to emerge from any scene anywhere before front man, Bradley Nowell tragically passed away in 1996 while the band was touring. Unfortunately, the Badfish musicians never got to see Sublime play live before Nowell died.
Badfish was formed in 2001, while remaining members Joel Hanks and Scott Begin were attending University of Rhode Island. What began as a fun thing to do a few weekend nights during a school semester and the summer has evolved into a full-time touring band, paying tribute to the legacy of Sublime. Badfish quickly began selling out shows including the House of Blues. "We play the music of Sublime for fans who still yearn to get out and see it live," Begin said.
The four members of the dynamic tribute band seemingly have as much fun on stage as their audiences do. Their fans relish the opportunity to see Badfish return to Hilton Head Island and play a live concert in the state-of-the-art, Rooftop Bar at Poseidon Friday, November 6. The venue has quickly become a sought out concert location for local, regional and national musicians as well as for music fans.
Begin describes their first experience playing The Rooftop Bar to a packed house. "It was a really fun night. We didn't know what to expect playing a new place for the first time. A lot of people came out and made it a memorable night," he said.
"We like to perform a high-energy show that feeds off the crowds' enthusiasm for the music," Begin said. The size and scale of the venue varies, ranging from big theater light shows to small grungy dive bars with the fans stage-diving inches from the musicians. "We are psyched to perform at all of the venues," Begin said.
Badfish tours all over the United States and occasionally Canada. These days, band members Scott Begin (drums, backing vocals, samples); Patrick Downes (guitar, lead vocals); Joel Hanks (bass guitar, bass synth); and Dorian Duffy (keyboards, samples, guitar, percussion) admit being home with their families is at the top of the list of things they like to do when not performing. They always like playing close to home, but they have a great fan base in Florida. All agree that touring the West Coast is a blast, and sometimes the most unlikely places can end up being great spots for a show.
Badfish plays around 200 dates and grosses approximately $1.5 million a year, making their impressions on college towns and music venues while touring. In an article titled, "Tribute Bands are Sometimes Better than the Real Thing," Rolling Stone referred to Badfish as one of the most successful tribute bands out there.
It was exciting for the band to receive this recognition. "Like most music fans, we've grown up reading the magazine, so to see ourselves right in there was a trip for sure," Begin said.
A typical Badfish fan spans a wide age range, from high school students to retirees and everyone in between. Sublime's music affected so many people for such long a time, which is a testament to their legacy.
Of note: Original Sublime drummer Bud Gaugh's band Del Mar has twice been an opening act for Badfish, which means Gaugh has opened for his own tribute band!

Akron-Canton Airport (ICAO: KCAK, FAA LID: CAK) is a commercial airport in the city of Green, in southern Summit County, Ohio (a small piece of both runways is in Stark County), just off Interstate 77 about 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Akron and 10 miles northwest of Canton. The airport is jointly operated by Summit County and Stark County.
Money for the airport was initially allocated during World War II for defense purposes, but the construction stalled over a controversy relating to whether public funding of airport construction would be appropriate. As a result, private funding was essential to the initial construction of the airport, particularly in purchasing the land. The airport was dedicated on October 13, 1946, as the Akron-Canton-Massillon Airport; the name was later changed to Akron-Canton Regional Airport. Passenger air service began in 1948 when American, United, Capital and Eastern airlines moved from the Akron Fulton International Airport. A permanent terminal was built in 1955 and expanded in 1962.
The airport has two runways, 7,601 and 8,204 feet (2,317 and 2,501 m) long, both 150 feet (46 m) wide.

Passenger growth
In 2005, 1.43 million passengers flew through Akron-Canton,[3] three times the number ten years earlier. It is one of the fastest-growing airports in the Midwest, and attracts passengers from the Akron/Canton area and Cleveland metropolitan area. Passenger count has grown every year since 1995 except 2001 (partly because of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks which slowed air travel nationwide).
The airport markets itself as "A better way to go", noting the ease of the Akron-Canton Airport in comparison to Cleveland Hopkins International Airport some 40 miles (64 km) north. The airport is a secondary "reliever" airport for Northeast Ohio. Although much of the growth is commercial, over 75% of traffic is general aviation, which is all but nonexistent at nearby Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport.
CAK doubled passenger ridership from 2000 to 2006, with new flights added by AirTran Airways and Frontier Airlines. Southwest Airlines began service to CAK in August 2012. CAK represents 20% of all air travel growth in Ohio. Other airlines include American Eagle, Delta Connection and United Express.
The airport experienced its best year ever in 2012 with 1.83 million customers.
In 2006 the airport completed an expansion and renovation of the terminal, including the addition of a new wing off the main concourse. It brings the number of gates to 11 (from 9), and provides new baggage areas, a food court, and improved aesthetics. The new wing opened to passengers in May 2006 and is home to Southwest Airlines.
In 2011 the expanded TSA screening area was completed. It has four lanes for screening, with the ability to open two more. Along with the expanded screening area, Advanced Imaging Devices were installed and a TSA Precheck lane was added.
The airport initiated CAK 2018, its 10-year, $110-million Capital Improvement Plan in March 2008. The plan is the most ambitious capital improvement plan in Akron-Canton Airport's history and calls for 10 projects in the next 10 years. One of those projects, a runway expansion, has already been completed. Runway 5/23 was extended from 7,600 ft (2,300 m). to 8,200 ft (2,500 m). The runways will allow aircraft to fly non-stop to anywhere in the U.S. and throughout Mexico and Canada.
Other projects include expanding aircraft parking and general aviation area, replacing aircraft rescue and fire fighting maintenance facility, a new customs and border patrol facility, expand auto parking lots, a widened entrance road, expanded ticket wing and TSA screening area, expanded upper level concourse and the construction of Port Green Industrial Park, 213 acres (0.86 km2) will be developed into 10-12 business sites.

From a bully to a Bruiser: Heroes of the Storm developer talks Gazlowe's rework
Tim Rizzo
When the Heroes of the Storm development team first designed Gazlowe (or Tinker, as he was initially called), the game was completely different than it is now. What heroes could do, how maps were designed, and how the game was "meant" to be played has changed dramatically over the years. So when Gazlowe was introduced into the title back in 2014, his kit worked well for the time period. He could split push lanes, clear mercenary camps efficiently and his team-fighting ability wasn't that bad. Fast forward to the year 2020 (and two reworks later), the development team felt it was time to give his kit another look after his most recent overhaul in 2017.
Heroes of the Storm's Gazlowe receives full rework to his talents and abilities
When Blizzard Entertainment first released Heroes of the Storm back in the spring of 2014, Gazlowe was a playable character. In the six years since his kit has been tweaked and reworked a few times (most recently in 2017). Despite having a personality and swagger entirely his own, his kit, while unique, never felt particularly impactful as the amount of setup required for him to be useful oftentimes wasn't worth the outcome.
D.Va's fully reworked Heroes of the Storm talents and abilities
When Overwatch's favorite gamer, D.Va, made her way into the nexus back in 2017, players of multiple Blizzard titles chomped at the bit to see how the Heroes of the Storm development team was able to turn this half-mech, half-girl into a MOBA champion while still maintaining her familiarity.

Cloud 9 residential project located in the Aviaţiei area reached a selling rate of 85% after the first 8 months of the year
Mihai-Alexandru Cristea 29/09/2021 | 17:44
The Cloud 9 residential project developed by Akcent Development in the Aviației area in the northern part of Bucharest has sold 85% of its apartments, with more than 700 units sold out of a total of 820 apartments by the end of August.
Although during the summer there is normally a decreasing trend when it comes to the residential transactional activity, 102 apartments with a total value of over 10.5 million euro + VAT have been transacted between June and August 2021 within the Cloud 9 project, the sales and advertising process being coordinated by the Premier Estate Management agency.
Taking into account the transactions concluded in the last few months, there is an increase in purchase requests for residential purposes, while the acquisitions made for investment purposes remained at a stable level. The potential to achieve a rental yield of over 9% for the double studios within the project has triggered a great interest among small and medium size investors. An increasing number of acquisitions for residential purposes is due to the strategic positioning of the project and the high degree of connectivity with major points of interest.
At the same time, there is an increase in requests for the purchase of large assets, namely 3-room apartments and duplexes, especially for the duplexes located on the ground floor of buildings that benefit from private gardens and which create a feeling similar to living in a house.
Akcent Development launches a new residential project, Akcent City, an investment of approximately 75 million euros
Laurenţiu Afrasine, CEO Akcent Development: "We are pleased to see that we have reached and even exceeded our goals set at the beginning of the year in terms of sales at Cloud 9, which reconfirms the quality of our project in an extremely competitive market. This determines us to continue with even more determination the process of pre-development of our projects in the northern part of the Capital City, being convinced of both the sustainability of the residential demand and the attractiveness of our projects. "
Started in May 2018, the construction of the four apartment blocks has been completed in two years. The project includes 18 types of apartments with areas ranging between 48 to 144 square meters, as well as three exclusive penthouses with private pools that have already been sold.
The underground car parking has 1,100 spaces, being also equipped with facilities for charging electric cars. The retail spaces situated on the ground floor of the apartment block facing Pipera Street are about to be leased to a supermarket, a restaurant and a cafe, as the commercial area will be completed with a wide range of services, such as a medical clinic, a notary, gym and a dry cleaning unit.
Cloud 9 benefits from premium construction materials and interior finishes, both in the common areas and inside the apartments. These include the ventilated façade with a 10 cm Knauf basalt mineral wool insulation system and Schuco aluminum exterior carpentry, which ensures perfect sound insulation. Each block has a Viessmann central heating with individual control and two Kone elevators. Inside, the apartments have Saloni porcelain ceramics and Balterio laminate flooring, as well as Mitsubishi Electric air conditioning. The project benefits from a concierge system for its residents, easy access to public transport (numerous bus lines having nearby stops) and less than a 10-minute walk to the Aurel Vlaicu metro station. Promenada Mall and King Michael I Park (Herăstrău), the largest in Bucharest, complete the scenary of one of the most offering areas in terms of facilities in Bucharest.

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne hits PC with hefty upgrades, but steep costs
by:Aaron Mickunas
Monster Hunter's most ambitious expansion in the franchise's long history, Iceborne, arrives on PC this month after a few months of exclusivity to Xbox and PS4. The expansion takes the base game, Monster Hunter World, and expands on its many crafting and exploring systems, while adding an impossibly long list of monsters to hunt and new ways to hunt them.
We've already talked about Iceborne, though, and as this is just the PC release of the game that's already been out since September, we're not here to talk about the same stuff. We loved it, as we have more than a couple veteran hunters who could actually dive into the new challenge and intensity that the expansion offers, but we also thought it was a little too harsh to justify buying if you're new to the franchise.
When Monster Hunter World first arrived on PCs after nearly a year on console in 2018, it came with some significant improvements. However, did Iceborne make enough improvements to its PC version to justify staggering its release by four months? Are those improvements even worth mentioning?
The answer, fortunately for the laypeople of the Church of PC Gaming, is unequivocally yes. We've been playing the game (way too much) on Capcom's beta server over the last month, and having a lot of fun. This monstrous expansion has truly been done justice on the PC, so much so that it would be hard to return to a console version after booting it up on the rig. Its scenery is breathtaking, movement is snappy and bug-free, and combat is downright cinematic, especially with all the new features.
Watching the Fulgur Anjanath, which is essentially a lightning-breathing T-Rex, hock a lightning loogie at my head in stunning 100+ fps at 1440p is equal parts awe-inspiring and vile, and I just wouldn't be able to experience that mixed emotion if it didn't look so darn good.
Justifying the delay
velkhana.jpg
What makes this game look so stunning in its PC release? One only has to venture into the "Advanced Graphics Settings" portion of their menu to see some of the differences listed out right away—features and knobs to turn that don't even exist on the console versions.
As many PC gamers have criticized, as is their right, it might seem a little odd that the Iceborne PC launch was staggered a few months. Well, all of these new graphical settings seem to justify it. There's a lot more functionality and a vast number of features to toy with that console plebs (sorry, you're not plebs, I just like to make fun) will never ever experience.
You can adjust the usual PC graphics settings like texture and image quality, as well as ambient occlusion and shadow quality, but you can also adjust volume rendering, contact shadows, diffuse lighting, and subsurface scattering. It opens up more opportunities for smoother and prettier gameplay. I'm honestly surprised the PC launch costs the same as the console launch.
Again, this game is very, very pretty. Like, prettier than we had any right to expect, and prettier than I ever expected a Monster Hunter game to get in the 15 years I've been playing it. And you can only really experience that to the fullest if you play it on PC.
Performance comes at a cost
pukei.jpg
Within all of those beautiful snowflakes, translucent ice effects, and long list of graphical settings to alter them within the menu, though, comes the downside of playing Iceborne on PC. If you want to experience all of those cool things, you need some impressive hardware. Without it, you're left with what feels a game that hasn't met its full potential, because it hasn't.
The game is beautiful, and being able to turn all those cool graphical dials up to 11 can be a really big selling point, but facts are facts. In Steam's last PC hardware survey of 2019, the GTX 1060 graphics card still claimed the title of "most popular" in the GPU field, by a mile. It wasn't even a close fight between the 1060 and the runner-up, the 1050 Ti. And guess what? Neither of those cards can run many of those cool features in Iceborne.
The 1060 is the card that Capcom lists as the recommended GPU for the expansion, but if you have one, and there's a good chance you do, you might be able to get away with everything set to mid-level graphics, at best. It becomes a game of "what can I cut to make sure I hit a decent framerate?" and that's not a fun game to play. I played the Iceborne review copy on a 1080 Ti, and that even struggled at some points, when the weather was really extreme or a monster launched a massive attack with screen-wide animations, especially when I tried to run everything maxed out. To be safe, I was forced to cut some corners in my graphics settings.
If you have the computer to back it up, this expansion is absolutely breathtaking. There's no arguing that. And in the world of computer graphics, that fact is true about many, many modern titles. But I wanted to highlight the differences between the console and PC versions of Iceborne here, and you can really only experience those differences at all if you have an expensive rig.
Now excuse me while I go fight my 62nd Deviljho in an attempt to get a part for a cool gunlance.

My Super Ex-Girlfriend 2006
After watching Megamind the other day, I considered moving on to some more animated movies again, but I finally decided on a movie that's been sitting in my collection for a couple months ever since I picked it up for two bucks at the used DVD store on clearance. I've been vaguely dreading the day I actually sat down to watch it because even from the trailers, I knew it was not my type of comedy, and boy was I ever right. Through the entire movie, there was only one moment where I wasn't laughing at a joke because of how ridiculously stupid I thought it was. It also doesn't help the movie that none of the characters are likable except for Anna Faris, and I don't even remember her characters name, or any character's names except for Jenny aka G-Girl played by Uma Thurman and Barry aka Bedlam played by Eddie Izzard. Which is why I will generally refer to the actors rather than the characters, because honestly they felt more like it was just the actors. The one saving grace, if you could call it that, is that it does feature a female superhero, which is quite rare in Hollywood. But it continues the trend set by all the other movies led by a female superhero by being a bad movie.
The movie starts out by establishing that Luke Wilson seems to have a penchant for attracting crazy chicks. And we know that because his male chauvinist friend Rainn Wilson tells us. He's supposedly a nice enough guy and he hits on mousy Uma Thurman in a brunette wig and a generally disheveled make-under at the urging of Rainn. She initially rejects him, but conveniently a mugger runs by and steals her purse so Luke can chase him down. He gets the purse, but ends up hiding in the dumpster to be unknowingly saved by Jenny, thus beginning the relationship. The relationship consists of a couple of dates featuring a version of a neurotic girlfriend that's somewhere between funny, creepy, and annoying. In my mind, it comes much closer to annoying, yet somehow we're supposed to believe that Luke keeps dating her under the consistently bad advice from his friend Rainn. It doesn't take long before Jenny trusts Luke enough to show him her secret, that she is actually the superhero G Girl, and not just wearing a G Girl costume. Which doesn't really make any sense that there would be a "G Girl" costume, she wears something different in every scene, and the only constant is the letter "G".
The one thing that I do give the movie a little bit of credit for, is that it tries to play with the typical hero and villain roles. G Girl is set up to be the hero because she saves the city, catches some robbers, and whatever else. But the movie paints her in a bad light at every point possible. Besides being comically needy, it's noted that she uses her role as a superhero for financial gain, and while it's not clear exactly how that happens, the implication I got was that she was possibly doing something illegal on the side. And once she's dumped, she uses her powers for extremely vindictive reasons, like ruining Luke's business presentation, throwing his car into space, and hurling a shark at him and Anna Faris. Bedlam on the other hand, is painted in a very sympathetic light. He has a couple goons for henchmen, and we're told that he's a supervillain, but we never see him do anything remotely villainous. And especially in the origin story flashback, he comes off as the victim.
The biggest problem I have is that there are no likable characters in this movie besides Anna Faris who's role is entirely to play the "perfect woman". Luke Wilson is a bit of a jerk, dating Jenny essentially for the sex, and constantly listening to the advice of his pig of a friend. Rainn spends the entirety of the movie hitting on anything with legs, and making sexist remarks, and yet he supposedly ends up with the bartender that he's been bothering the entire movie. I couldn't even like Wanda Sykes as the boss who's constantly trying to get Luke fired for sexual harassment towards Anna Faris. Jenny slash G Girl is unlikable from almost the very beginning, and we're supposed to go with it, I guess, because it's supposed to be funny. Which it's not. Even the sex jokes were ridiculous. During the first "sex scene" with Jenny and Luke, she moves the entire bed so much it cracks the wall. But it's done in a very slow, wide, sweeping motion, which doesn't even make any sense as to why that would be any form of "super" sex. The one line that did make me laugh was when she said at the end "I'm sorry, I'll get you a new one." and Luke replies "A bed or a penis?"
Another thing that bothered me throughout the movie was the chauvinistic nature of many of the jokes. When G Girl originally gains her powers as a teenager, her brown hair turns blonde, her braces fly off, and her breasts get bigger. None of that is funny, it just felt sexist to me. And at the end of the movie when "spoiler" Anna Faris gains G Girl's powers as well, her hair turns from blonde to red. And not even a good red, more of a faded blondish red. I suppose it's a matter of the filmmaker's tastes that redheads are sexier than blondes, but it just irked me. And all of the relationships in the movie felt unnatural, and not in any way that made me laugh. It just completely rubbed me the wrong way throughout the entire movie. What little special effects there were in the movie were also quite unimpressive. I wouldn't recommend seeing this movie at all, unless you find psycho ex-girlfriends funny. Until next time, this has been Bubbawheat for Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights.

I watched the first part of this movie last night. Geez, does it stink, but what really bugs me is I'm not sure why I hate it. The premise is great–female super hero who is lonely and latches onto a guy who finally helps her. The character study of G-Girl–also a lot of potential here. Because, let's face it, the Marvel characters have every right to be screwed up and to have screwed up relationships. I mean, they're freaks, and they can pretty much do whatever they want. The premise is believable. But, I couldn't even finish watching the movie. Maybe it was the laboriously slow and stupid sex scene. Maybe it was the tension at seeing psycho girlfriend to the nth power–I'm not a big fan of anxiety or prolonged tension if a movie so I don't like that anyway–but I wish I could pinpoint why I know this movie stinks when it could have been so great. I have no idea how it could have been better. But I'd so love to see something like this done well.

I totally agree, it's just a mess with the grain of a good idea somewhere deep inside.

Holst, Richard (Nicolaüs) Roland
Jan Jaap Heij
(b Amsterdam, Dec 4, 1868; d Bloemendaal, Dec 31, 1938).
Dutch painter, printmaker, illustrator, writer and stained-glass artist. He trained at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam (1886–90), under the directorship of August Allebé. Having initially painted and drawn Impressionistic landscapes, he started working in the 't Gooi region in 1892, where, influenced by Vincent van Gogh and Jan Toorop, he made a number of Symbolist drawings and lithographs. In 1896 he married the Dutch writer Henriette van der Schalk. They both devoted themselves to the recently founded Sociaal Democratische Arbeiders Partij. In the years up to c. 1900 Holst produced among other things a series of lithographs of political cartoons with socialist content, as well as serene landscapes and paintings of girls from the village of Huizen. His allegorical murals (1902; in situ), on topics such as 'Industry' or 'Commerce', in the new Koopmansbeurs in Amsterdam by H. P. Berlage (1876–1903), marked an important point in his career as his first opportunity to construct a monumental piece of work. Partly inspired by the murals in the town hall at 's Hertogenbosch by Antoon Derkinderen, he developed a tight, stylized type of design, which he believed to be ideal for visually representing idealistic and exalted thoughts. In his murals (...

Sam Schneider clears the bar and sets a new school record during the high jump in Rawlins on Friday.
Over the weekend, the spring weather cooperated enough to allow members of Saratoga Track and Field to compete in two meets. The first meet was on Friday in Rawlins where, for the first time in at least four years, the Rawlins Invitational was able to proceed as scheduled. While in Rawlins, senior Sam Schneider would not only prequalify for state, but break the school record for the high jump as well. The second meet, in Rock Springs, saw Schneider again prequalify for state in several events at the Ted Schroeder Meet of Hope Invitational.

First Firestone Fast Six runs for Pagenaud, Wilson, Newgarden
By dizbizroundupAug 31, 2013, 7:00 PM EDT
Few would argue Simon Pagenaud and Justin Wilson are two of the top drivers in the IZOD IndyCar Series. Additionally, few would argue Josef Newgarden is one of the series' emerging talents, who hasn't yet had many opportunities to shine thanks to near consistent mechanical gremlins and bad luck.
So it may come as some as a surprise, then, that all three made the Firestone Fast Six in qualifying for today's Grand Prix of Baltimore presented by SRT for the first time this year. For Newgarden, it's also the first Fast Six appearance of his career.
Pagenaud and Schmidt teammate Tristan Vautier both advanced into the Fast Six; each has led a practice session (Pagenaud on Saturday morning, Vautier Friday afternoon) this weekend.
"The engineer (Ben Bretzman) worked really hard on understanding how to control the ride better, and they digged really deep after Sonoma," Pagenaud said. "Even though it's a completely different racetrack, there's a lot of things they understood, and the car is just absolutely fantastic this week. So I'm very proud of the HP team. And being here with Tristan is also a great accomplishment for the team."
Wilson posted his best qualifying effort since Toronto 2012, when he qualified third. Much of the attention at the Dale Coyne Racing team has gone to Wilson's younger brother Stefan, who is debuting this weekend.
"To be honest, I didn't expect it after practice," Justin Wilson said. "We were 10th in practice this morning, 17th yesterday, so it's been a bit of a struggle this weekend, but we've just kept digging away and fighting back. (We're) not quite in Will and Scott's league, but I'll keep looking at it and see what I can learn as a driver and see what we can learn with the setup and try and get there."
Newgarden seems to have a torrid love affair with the otherwise controversial Pratt Street chicane. He is using Lucas Luhr's chassis from Sonoma (nicknamed "Rapunzel"), and has made up most of his time through the chicane in maximum attack mode.
"That's like the only place I'm good around this circuit I feel like," Newgarden said. "I'm just barreling it in there, I don't even care what part I'm hitting. The front's going everywhere; it doesn't matter. I'm just flat out through it pretty much."
Vautier in sixth made his third Fast Six of the season, having also made it at St. Petersburg and Barber, the first two races of 2013. His was a bit more controversial, though. That will be hit in a separate post.
With Pagenaud, Wilson and Newgarden making the Fast Six, 20 different drivers have made it in this year at least once.

Django Django & Kwes playing a BV pre-SXSW show in NYC
BrooklynVegan Staff Published: February 13, 2012
We've been waiting to see Scottish quartet Django Django ever since hearing their debut single two years ago, so Brooklyn Vegan is pleased as punch to be presenting with Popgun Booking the group's first-ever U.S. show at Glasslands on Saturday, March 10. It's a late show (doors 11:30), happening after the Daughter performance early that night, and will also feature the Stateside debut of Warp artist Kwes.. Consider this our pre-SXSW kickoff party. Tickets are $10 and on sale now.
Led by drummer/singer/producer David Maclean, Django Django released their debut single "Storm/Love's Dart" in late 2009. Back when bands still used MySpace, in the "influences" section, Django Django posted thumbnails of 168 albums, ranging from The Beach Boys' Smiley Smile, the first Fun Boy 3 LP, the Blade Runner soundtrack and the Beta Band's Hot Shots II and there's a definite kitchen sink mentality to their music. It's all basically danceable guitar pop, but anything goes.
Relocating to London, the band took their time releasing their debut album, which was released a few weeks ago on Because Music (home of Metronomy, Busy P and more) and is one of the more fun, inventive pop LPs to come down the pike in a while. Influences in a Cuisinart, yes, but cohesive. Django Django get compared to the Beta Band a lot, and there's a similar vocal style and groove, but DD are a little more focused and hyperactive. It's a great album.
You can stream Django Django's debut via Spotify buy it digitally from Bleep, Emusic or the retailer of your choice. (No physical versions in the U.S. yet.) There are also videos for recent singles "Default" and "Waveforms" you can watch at the bottom of this post. After visiting New York, Django Django head to SXSW so if you're gonna be in Austin in a month, do check them out.
Opening is London's Kwes, who has made a name for himself as a go-to producer, working with The XX, DELS, Damon Albarn, Micachu, The Invisible and others. After a couple singles on Young Turks/XL, Kwes signed to Warp who will release the Meantime EP in May. While you wait for that to come out, you can download non-EP track "Get Up" via a widget at the bottom of this post. Also down there is the installment of Vice's "Producers" video series featuring Kwes, which is well worth watching.

Q: Исправление размытых областей в TextField При создании окна в котором ввожу название сохранения столкнулся с проблемой.
Вводимый внутри TextField текст становится немного размытым, раздражающим глаз. Помимо этого явно заметно как в некоторых областях поля ввода столбец указывающий текущее положение размыт, а в некоторых четкий - такой каким должен быть.
UPD: Это видимо как-то касается моего JavaFX в целом. Суть в том что пытаясь исправить это в Scene Builder заметил что в полях ввода самого билдера (например при поиске нужного компонента) происходит то же самое размытие что и в моих примерах. Проверил в swing с JTextField и там подобных проблем нет.
Скриншоты для примера:

Это возможно исправить?
Код всего фрагмента, на всякий случай:
 private void inputSaveName() {

   Stage nameStage = new Stage();
   nameStage.initModality(Modality.WINDOW_MODAL);
   nameStage.initOwner(saveStage);
   nameStage.initStyle(StageStyle.UNDECORATED);
   nameStage.initStyle(StageStyle.TRANSPARENT);

   BorderPane saveBorder = new BorderPane();
   saveBorder.setStyle("-fx-background-color:saddlebrown;" +"-fx-border-width:5;" + "-fx-border-radius:16;" + "-fx-font-family: Cambria;" + "-fx-border-color:olive");
   Scene nameScene = new Scene (saveBorder,300,120);
   nameScene.setFill(Color.TRANSPARENT);

   Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(300,120);
   rect.setArcHeight(40.0);
   rect.setArcWidth(40.0);
   saveBorder.setClip(rect);

   Button acceptNameButton = new Button("Accept");
   Button cancelNameButton = new Button("Cancel");

   acceptNameButton.setStyle("-fx-background-color: darkkhaki;" + "-fx-background-insets: 0 2 2 0;" + "-fx-padding: 8;" + "-fx-font-size:15;" + "-fx-text-alignment:

center");
   cancelNameButton.setStyle("-fx-background-color: darkkhaki;" + "-fx-background-insets: 0 0 2 2;" + "-fx-padding: 8;" + "-fx-font-size:15;" + "-fx-text-alignment:

center");

   cancelNameButton.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

     @Override
     public void handle(ActionEvent ae) {

       nameStage.close();
     }
   });

   TextField nameField = new TextField();
   nameField.setPromptText("Write save name");
   nameField.setFont(new Font(18));

   HBox buttonBox = new HBox();
   buttonBox.setAlignment(Pos.CENTER);

   buttonBox.setHgrow(acceptNameButton, Priority.ALWAYS);
   buttonBox.setHgrow(cancelNameButton, Priority.ALWAYS);

   acceptNameButton.setMaxWidth(130);
   cancelNameButton.setMaxWidth(130);

   buttonBox.getChildren().addAll(acceptNameButton,cancelNameButton);

   saveBorder.setBottom(buttonBox);
   saveBorder.setCenter(nameField);

   nameStage.setScene(nameScene);
   nameStage.show();

 }

A: Если в Java существует что-то подобное, то можно попробовать отключить визуализацию Anti-Aliasing и SubPixel:
SetValue(RenderOptions.EdgeModeProperty, EdgeMode.Aliased);

(P.s. Я не знаю Java и Javafx, но я сталкивался с похожим вопросом в WPF, поэтому решил написать. Если я категорически не прав я удалю ответ сразу после того как меня поправят)

A:
На вкладке Layout есть два параметра (Layout X, Layout Y) если там стоит 9,8999999 или что то подобное,  нужно выставить в 0
через SceneBuilder или в можно через .fxml.
Мне помогло, возможно поможет.

This paper uses a dynastic model of household behavior to estimate and decomposed the correlations in earnings across generations. The estimate model can explain 75% to 80% of the observed correlation in lifetime earnings between fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, and families across generations. The main results are that the family and division of labor within the household are the main source of the correlation across generation and not just assorting mating. The interaction of human capital accumulation in labor market, the nonlinear return to part-time versus full-time work, and the return parental time investment in children are the main driving force behind the intergenerational correlation in earnings and assortative mating just magnify these forces.


Apparently, to have the fantods means to be jittery or nervous. It is an American expression and I have never heard it. Nobody knows where it comes from but some suggestions centre on a connection with fantasy.
Cassidy's suggestion is that it comes from the phrase Tá fonn taodach orm, which according to him means "an impulsive frame of mind, jittery excitation, a fierce humor, a quick temper, a fuss, a fit…" He gives a number of references to Irish and Scottish Gaelic dictionaries but these are references to the words fonn and taodach (or taghdach in the modern spelling). Cassidy uses these dictionary references to prove that both these words exist in Irish. They do but this is completely beside the point. The question is, would they be found together in the phrase fonn taodach? The answer to this is a resounding no.
Fonn can be used on its own to mean inclination or desire, as in bhí mé le dul chuig an chóisir ach ní raibh fonn orm – 'I was to go to the party but I didn't feel like it'. Or you can attach a noun or verbal noun in the genitive to it to specify what you did or didn't feel like doing, as in bhí fonn gáire orm (I felt like laughing) or ní raibh fonn codlata orthu (they didn't feel like going to sleep). You don't use fonn with adjectives, so fonn taodach is an impossible combination, as well as being fairly meaningless – what does it mean when you have an impulsive inclination?
Also, you have to take into account that fonn taodach would be pronounced fon teedakh. Why would fon teedakh become fantod rather than fonteeda? The answer is, of course, it wouldn't. This is as stupid as everything else in this book.

And here is Michael Patrick Brady's comment. What do you think of the comment at the end from Cassidy's sister? Sounds like there must have been a family falling-out there!
Also, don't miss this hilarious piece on the Grammarphobia Blog by Patricia T O'Conner and Stewart Kellarman.
There are lots of good critiques of Cassidy's work out there. I have made my own small contribution to the campaign here and elsewhere. Slowly but surely, the balance is shifting from those who support Cassidy to those who believe in telling it like it is. In future, anybody encountering Cassidy's ridiculous theories will be able to enter his name on Google and find the truth immediately. Let's hope it puts a stop to this nonsense forever.

According to Cassidy, this was a slang term for a fortified red wine and comes from the Irish fuad, an obscure word for a thief, a wretch or a vagrant. There are two obvious points here – do they make the wine out of vagrants? If not, it's hard to see why they would call it fuad juice. Secondly, the origin of this expression is pretty obvious. Everyone knows that people when they made wine according to the traditional method used to take their shoes and socks off and tread the grapes until the juice ran out. Isn't this a much more likely origin for foot juice than an obscure Irish term which sounds a little like foot?

According to Cassidy, the word gump, meaning chicken, comes from the Irish word colm, pronounced collum. This doesn't mean a chicken – it means a dove or pigeon – but according to Cassidy it would be used 'figuratively' for a chicken. He cites no sources for this opinion and gives no evidence at all but in any case, the idea of a connection between gump and colm is … well, crazy. Say it to yourself – gump, collum, gump, collum. Most of Cassidy's fake connections are pretty lame but this one is just insane.

Cassidy suggests that mucker, a word used colloquially in Ireland and England to mean mate or friend, comes from the Irish mucaire, which is from muc meaning 'pig'. According to Dineen the word mucaire means a swineherd, a boor, a rustic. Ó Dónaill's dictionary only gives the meaning 'a slovenly worker'. How you get from any of these meanings to the notion of a mate is beyond me.
Back in the real world, muck is a very old word in English (derived from Old Norse) which means dirt. A mucker is someone who works with this dirt (as in a mucker-out) but this is probably not directly the origin of mucker in the sense of friend. For this, we need to look at the way that people mucking about or messing about are often having fun together. That's why we have muckers. So it is far more likely that the word mucker in all its senses is a reference to the English muck + er than that it has any connection with mucaire. As usual, Cassidy ignores the obvious English explanation in favour of a specious derivation from Irish.
Incidentally, while researching this post, I found that others say that mucker comes from the Irish mo chara, meaning my friend. This is also nonsense. As any competent Irish speaker will tell you, it's a chara, not mo chara when you are talking directly (i.e. vocatively) to your friends. Of course, it is quite acceptable to talk about people in the third person using mo chara, but this would hardly give rise to a loanword, as the mo is not intrinsically linked to the word cara. Only the core form of the word, cara, would be borrowed in a bilingual situation. For example, we have all heard French-speaking characters in films saying things like 'how are you, mon ami?' This is a vocative use, like 'a chara'. But when the Spanish word amigo is used in English, it is always used simply as amigo, never as mi amigo or su amigo, and so it is quite reasonable to assume that people might say things like 'he is a great cara of mine', but not *'it's good to have a mo chara' (or do chara or ár gcara, for that matter). And that's not even touching on matters of pronunciation. Mo chara, if it's pronounced properly, is pronounced something like mohara, to rhyme with Sahara. How would that become mucker?
In any case, this claim was made by other idiots, not by Cassidy, so it is merely an aside and has no bearing on the substance of this blog.

I came across an interesting little nugget of Cassidese nonsense on what purports to be an educational website (http://www.edu-cyberpg.com/Linguistics/Whoopie-Ti-Yi-Yo-Git-Along.html) the other day. In the article, Cassidy was thinking aloud (I use the term thinking advisedly) about the origins of a cowboy song about little dogies. This is a cowboy term which apparently originally meant an orphan calf and now is applied to cattle of all kinds. Here is one line from the song with Cassidy's 'translation' into Irish.
When I had stopped laughing and picked myself up off the floor, I decided to write this post. Cassidy's Irish 'translation' is pure nonsense and makes much less sense even than the English version. I mean, whoopie is pronounced … well, whoopee, as in Makin' Whoopee or Whoopi Goldberg and uimhir is pronounced ivvir, a bit like liver with the l taken off the front. Uimhir, whoopie. Uimhir, whoopie. No, sorry. It sounds a bit more similar than fish and bicycle but not a lot.
Then there's the fact that uimhir wouldn't be used in this sense anyway because in English, you can use number to mean a few, some, as in There were a number of people there. You can't say bhí uimhir daoine ann in Irish. It is meaningless. In circumstances like this, you use another word, líon. As Ó Dónaill's Foclóir Gaeilge-Béarla says under the heading líon – "An líon daoine atá san áit, the number of people in the place; the population of the place". Dí-áireamh is strange but just on the improbable side of impossible: dí-áirimh is given by Ó Dónaill as a variant of the much more common do-áirithe. I strongly suspect that git along is the English get along and is telling the dogies to move quickly. Just a hunch. It certainly seems unlikely that it is a reference to breakfast, however badly the dogies need fattening. Ládáil is a loan-word, related to English lading (as in Bill of Lading) and refers to putting a cargo on a ship. So … they're taking the cows … on a ship? After breakfast? Let's hope the water isn't too choppy. I will discuss the word dogie below. Oh, and then there is the problem that it would really be ládáil dho-thóigthe (ládáil dhothógtha in modern spelling) according to the rules of Irish grammar, which is pronounced as something like go-hoe-ga rather than do-hoe-ga.
As so often happened, Cassidy had fallen out of love with this crazy, back-of-an-envelope brainwave by the time the book was published but he still gave do-thóigthe (Dinneen's spelling: the modern spelling is dothógtha) as the origin of doggie (instead of the traditional explanation that it is a contraction of English dough-guts). Cassidy lied shamelessly in his treatment of this word. He gave a longish definition, half of which was real and taken from Dinneen's dictionary, but the second half was his own invention.
The first half (the real bit) says that dothóigthe is an adjective meaning that an animal is hard to fatten or rear (Do-thóigthe, hard to rear, hard to fatten (as a calf) etc.). The second (fake) bit (a sickly hard-to-feed calf; fig. an orphan calf or child, without a mother to nurse them) implies that dothóigthe can be used as a noun meaning an orphan calf, which it can't. The whole quotation is ascribed to Dinneen, so the poor reader would have no way of knowing that the convincing half of it in terms of Cassidy's argument is completely fake.
Cassidy did this on many occasions. He often put the letters fig. into a definition when he was inserting his own fictional take on the meaning. This usually stands for 'figuratively' in contexts like this but in Cassidy's work, it really stands for 'figment' (of Cassidy's imagination).

Why Domestic Abusers Often Get to Keep Their Guns
Federal law bars convicted abusers from owning guns, but very few states enforce it.
By JoVona Taylor
Last month, Rashied Mitchell shot and killed a Seattle mother, Tabitha Apling, in front of their two young children. At the time, Mitchell was subject to a court order barring contact with Apling, his ex-girlfriend. Mitchell had a rap sheet of at least 12 prior similar convictions, and had been arrested for an alleged domestic violence attack against Aplin just days before her death.
This scenario is not unusual. Under federal law, anyone convicted of domestic violence or subject to a domestic violence protective order is prohibited from possessing a gun. But abusers are often able to buy a firearm anyway, or are allowed to keep one they already own, and they end up using it to shoot a wife, girlfriend, or other intimate partner.
So how is it that known abusers, convicted of a crime or subject to a restraining order, come to have a firearm in their possession? Often, they are able to exploit gaps in the federal background check system or in state laws designed to remove firearms from abusers' homes. Here are seven ways that commonly happens.
