The Novar Fishings is pleased to announce the introduction of a 'Superbeat' system for spring salmon fishing. Effective Wednesday 1st April, visiting anglers on daily or weekly lets will benefit from a new Superbeat rotation which will allow 2 rods only to fish a full beat in the morning, and then swap to a second beat in the afternoon, and vice versa. For example you might fish all of Beat 3 in the morning and all Beat 4 in the afternoon.
As spring salmon are generally low in numbers, but 'good takers', we hope that by doubling the number of pools available to fish each day, without increasing fishing pressure, prospects will be significantly improved. It also means that visiting anglers can see and fish all 6 of our beats in a 3-day short break.
Beat rotations for summer fishing will start on Monday 6th July, reverting to the standard beat per day rotations as in past years.

WATCH: Logan woman charged after raid uncovers drugs and guns
August 4, 2020 1:39 pm in Gold Coast, The Loop List 6 by Shanee Dobeson
A woman has been charged with a string of drug and firearms offences following a raid on a home in Logan.
Detectives from the Logan District Drug and Firearms Team executed a search warrant at the house on Juers Street in Kingston around 3.40pm on Monday afternoon.
During the raid, they allegedly uncovered two shot guns, ammunition, a small quantity of suspected methamphetamine and a glass pipe.
A 32-year-old Kingston woman has since been charged with two counts of unlawful possession of weapons and one count each of authority needed to use explosives, possession of a dangerous drug and possess utensils or pipes that had been used.
She is due to appear in Southport Magistrates Court on October 21.
Detective Inspector Tod Reid said the latest raid proves police are continuing to target criminal and illegal activity in the Logan district.
"This is a demonstration of our continued commitment to the disruption of crime and keeping our community safe," Detective Inspector Reid said.
Police say investigations are ongoing.

The Flash Season 8 Crossover Event Brings The Gang Back Together
BY Taylor Bauer August 26, 2021September 3, 2021
When it comes to the CWverse, a lot of work led to this moment we're in today. As we've seen in countless series and crossover events, the cast of characters and villains in this universe can make for great television. For those who are keen to catch the next big event, you're in luck. Season 8 of The Flash is going to make for a 5-part crossover event premiere with familiar friends and foes. The lineup for the "Armageddon" event kick of November 18 and we know some of the characters involved. Let's take a look at what's in store with a full preview of the new CWverse affair.
"Armaggedon" – The Flash Season 8 Crossover Event You Can't-Miss
Image Credit: CW
To kick off season 8 of The Flash, the CWverse is going big. "Armageddon" promises a full-fledged blockbuster of action and anticipation as the world faces its end. Per Deadline, Barry, Iris, and Team Flash all need to work together against a new alien threat. While that might sound boilerplate, think again. Friends from other CWverse shows appear to help because the danger is that insurmountable.
We know that we're sure to see this impressive collective appear during the five-part event starting this November:
Javicia Leslie as Batwoman
Brandon Routh as The Atom
Cress Williams as Black Lightning
Chyler Leigh as Sentinel
Kat McNamara as Mia Queen
Osric Chau as Ryan Choi
Tom Cavanagh as Eobard Thawne/Reverse Flash
Neal McDonough as Damien Darhk
CW renamed The Arrowverse to the CWVerse to reflect two things. One, of course, being the end of Arrow. The other, however, points to something the network is shooting for with "Armageddon." CW chairman and CEO Mark Pedowitz explains that "Simply put, these are going to be some of the most emotional Flash episodes ever. Plus, there are some truly epic moments and huge surprises that await our fans. And we're doing them on a scale that's bigger and bolder than our traditional Flash episodes."
Overall, this isn't just about putting characters into each other's shows anymore. The real motive lies with building something upon this foundation that started almost a decade ago. For longtime fans of this CW ecosystem of DC series, things are bound to get bigger and better than ever. Newcomers, likewise, will have something truly remarkable to start catching up on. Of course, there are countless series to check out before Season 8 of The Flash debuts with this crossover event, but you've got a few months to binge.
Season 8 of The Flash and this highly-anticipated "Armageddon" event start November 16 at 8 p.m. ET. If you have a prediction for a direction the event could take, then drop it in the comments. Thanks for reading Comic Years for all things CWverse, comics, and pop culture.

On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy was killed, and the world changed. What if you could change it back? Based upon the bestselling novel by Stephen King, 11.22.63 is an epic limited event series from J.J. Abrams.
James Franco stars as Jake Epping, a high school English teacher who, encouraged by his ailing friend travels back in time to prevent the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Delving into the darkness of the American dream, viewers are transported to the world of 1960s Texas as Jake explores the mystery surrounding the supposed gunman Lee Harvey Oswald, his family and associates. But Jake's mission faces threats not only from Oswald, but from Sadie Dunhill, a beautiful librarian he falls in love with, and from the Past itself … which doesn't want to be changed.
And if the Past doesn't want to be changed, it will push back… often violently.

Pittsburgh moves into field goal position after a pair of 15-yard penalties on the Bengals, one on linebacker Vontaze Burfict and another on Adam Jones after Burfict hits defenseless Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown.

I stumbled across this last night and literally laughed out loud.
I probably laughed a little too much.
*I do not know where this photo originated, therefore I am unable to give proper credit to whomever deserves it…sorry!
Then a good happy cry came when I was quickly scrolling through Facebook, and 2 different well know bloggers posted the same thing…. the fabulously hilarious Cocktail Deeva & the equally fabulous Bored Mommy Blog.
This made my day. It will make yours too.
HAHAHA…..Ok, maybe a few words need to be said. I found this free app called aLike. It says to simply upload your photo and it will show you your celeb look alike.
Fun! I always stumble when that awkward time comes around on FB where everyone puts their gorgeous celeb doppleganger and I pretend to just stay off FB until it passes.
Side note – why isn't doppleganger a real word?
Ok, back to wordless wednesday.
Not even sure who this is…nor do I see any resemblance…Oh wait, we both have 2 eyes and a nose!
Again, don't know who this is and see zero resemblance…but I guess we are looking at the camera at about the same angle…??
WHAT? Really? I have officially begun to lose hope in finding my true doppleganger….
There we go….now we were getting somewhere. I look like a man. Not just any man. Isn't this the creepy dude from Harry Potter or something like that?
OH MY HECK. The Rock. REALLY?
AGAIN! The ONLY duplication I get. The not necessarily attractive MAN. AGAIN.
I am DONE. This app has now been deleted.
And you bet I am going to put his picture as my FB profile pic if 'doppleganger' week ever comes up again.
Apparently, we have such an incredible resemblance that his photo came up twice. Out of all the BILLIONS of celebrities.
*My self confidence is through the roof right now.
*The above statement is a GIANT lie.
So sorry about misleading you with Wordless Wednesday title. There are only 295 too many words for that to be true. I didn't mean to do that. I promise.
I made a cheesecake for a dinner event the other night. Husband likes cheesecake. This one in particular turned out really, really good. It was a Pumpkin Walnut Cheesecake.
Driving home from this dinner event, a conversation took place between my husband and myself.
Husband: Why is it called cheesecake?
Husband (while cutting off my explanation): It's not like there is actually cheese in it.
Me (trying to contain my laughter): Dude…really? Yes, there is!
Husband: Really? Well then, what kind?
Husband: Seriously? So cheese cake is mainly just a giant pile of cheese?
Husband: I just figured it was called cheesecake but didn't really have cheese in it…you know like hot dogs….it's not like those have…….
We've been TP'ed, Flamingo'ed, Forked…and now…Fished!
We really have a great house for toilet papering. It's not even our house that they get, its our trees in our front yard. We don't mind, its actually funny! Especially since I learned the best way to clean it up is to light the streams of toilet paper on fire. The neighbors aren't crazy about this….
Still to this day, we are baffled by the way they did it and the fact that they were hiding somewhere in our front yard WHILE WE CAME OUTSIDE to see the four or five flamingos in our yard. We looked outside about 30 minutes later to our front lawn being COVERED! Within the next couple days the flamingos were removed in the middle of the night. I was sad to see them go….but not sad enough to go buy my own flamingo's to decorate my front lawn with.
I was home alone one night and not feeling well. I kept getting text messages from a couple teenagers from our youth group. Finally, I went outside and saw our lawn had been forked. It was awesome. The girls said they took all the forks from a fast food place. I reminded them that stealing was bad! The girls helped me clean up the forks a few days later. Yes, it says We heart U!
Yesterday, I walked out our front door to a fish.
I've never even heard of this prank.
Problem here is I hate fish. I think they are kind of lame pets. Maybe I should clarify…GOLDFISH are pretty dumb. Unless they are food for a piraña or something….Exotic fish are cool. But not in my house. I don't want the responsibility of keeping anyone or anything ELSE alive.
We got this fish on Sunday morning.
This was the status on Monday morning.
RIP doorstep fish. Your 1 day on our porch was nice. Your 1 evening in the fish bowl was apparently not so nice.
Betcha we don't get 'Fished' again!
Top Searches…Just doin my part!!
Every once in a while I browse the Top Searches on my blogs dashboard.
Not much needs to be said about my stellar impact on the web.
Young, strong & running against the wind!
Short, quick & sweet! I received this from a very good friend.
It kinda made me cry.
So, of course I am confused (not terribly difficult to confuse me)… so I click the little linky….

WELL, IT'S NOT LIKELY TO BE THE NORM COLEMAN DECADE: TV Tattle wonders whether tonight -- for fourth straight last-show-of-the-decade -- the now-junior Senator from the great state of Minnesota will appear on Saturday Night Live to declare the next ten years The Al (or Joe) Franken Decade.
HTMLGIANT / Grammar Challenge!
IF NO ONE HAS YET TAUGHT YOU HOW TO AVOID OR REPAIR CLAUSES LIKE THE FOLLOWING, YOU SHOULD, IN MY OPINION, THINK SERIOUSLY ABOUT SUING SOMEBODY, PERHAPS AS CO-PLAINTIFF WITH WHOEVER'S PAID YOUR TUITION: For a snowy day exercise, try the late David Foster Wallace's grammar/punctuation/usage challenge for his students from 2004.
LET THEM ENTERTAIN YOU: Though EW doesn't give it the cover this year, the Entertainers of the Year are ranked, unlike the Entertainers of the Decade, which just offered 15 names in no particular order. Possibly because of the lack of a cover package, we were spared anything Twilight related, but your top fifteen are:
Adult cast of Modern Family
The Black-Eyed Peas
Mo'Nique
Any surprise omissions there? Any surprise inclusions? (Seems premature to honor Cameron, IMHO, until we see how Avatar shakes out commercially.)
SNOWPOCALYPSE NOW: We've got an inch already outside the house, 8-12" to come. Open thread for East Coasters and those who like to amuse us during The Most Shocking Weather-Related Event Ever.
[I saw one news report noting that an El Niño effect might be playing into this. As a reminder, all other tropical storms must bow before El Niño, and for those of you who don't habla Español, El Niño is Spanish for.. The Niño!]
MATT WAS WELL CAST/LEA BLOWS ME AWAY/I COULD READ A SCENE WITH DIANNA EVERY DAY: It's going to be a long winter without Glee.

I ♥ THE AUGHTIES: I will inevitably contribute to, and get overenthusiastic about, the "Best [something] of the Aughts" discussions we're likely to have here in the next few weeks. This isn't that post. I deservedly take some flak for being hypercritical, partly because I don't find it all that fun to write posts that say no more than "gosh, I liked this." In fact, though, I think that within the four corners of the ALOTT5MA Mission Statement, it's been a pretty great ten years. I wanted to write not about the things I thought were the best, or things that fit neatly into a category that can be ranked by favorites, but just some things that I loved about the decade. These are their stories:
TV eclipsing movies as the most rewarding filmed medium. For Hollywood people, movies have a cachet that TV can't match. I still read stories about Alec Baldwin or Glenn Close or Holly Hunter reaching the point in their careers where they have to settle for the small screen. But you can do so much on TV that you can't do in a movie. You can tell more intricate, nuanced stories. You can build characters slowly. You can jettison things that don't work. Wonderful shows like The Wire and Mad Men, with so much slow build or seeming inactivity, couldn't be done in two hours. In the Aughts, TV exploded creatively. You may not think that The Wire, The Sopranos, Deadwood, Friday Night Lights, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica are the best TV dramas of all time, but you wouldn't think a person who took that position is crazy. And on the comedy side, there were shows that melded The Simpsons' gag rate with Seinfeld's "no-hugging-no-learning" mantra (Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Better Off Ted), as well as more traditional comedies (The Office, for example) that eschewed the three-beat formula for more nuanced, even loving, writing. Part of the reason why I don't miss movies is that there's just so much great TV that I don't need them any more.
The iPod and iTunes. I know I just criticized iTunes this week, but that's a blip. I don't know if I agree with Spacewoman that the iPod has changed the way we listen to music, but it's true that I now listen to orders of magnitude more music than I did before I had one. iTunes, though -- the tail that now wags iPod's dog -- was revolutionary. The biggest cost of finding new music used to be the search cost. I remember plunking down $12.99 for Exile in Guyville without having heard a single track, virtually praying that it would be good. With iTunes, you can browse endlessly, trying on 30-second samples, and generally getting comfortable before spending the first $0.99 (or $1.29). You're not stuck with the Kiss-album dilemma (is it worth the cost of a full album for two good songs?), which may actually be forcing artists to be more consistently good. You can see what others bought or what Genius thinks you might like (Genius doesn't insult me like Pandora does). Or, like I did with states and months, you can just do a random word search and find completely unheard-of music. I owe iTunes for completely resurrecting my love of indie pop, of which there is an endless supply.
Digital photos and videos. Digital photography was still in the "huh, that's kind of cool" stage when the Aughts began, and there was no consumer digital video. Remember when you were afraid of developing bad pictures? When you couldn't post a video of yourself falling off a roof on YouTube? The world is so much better now.
The HBO Death March. Adriana, Christopher, Big Pussy, Richie Aprile, Bobby Bacala, Ralphie Cifareto, Wild Bill, William Bullock, Francis Wolcott, Mr. Ellsworth, Wallace, Stringer, Omar, Bodie, Snoop … uh, spoiler alert.
The Body, the Blood, the Machine, the Thermals. Unlike the other things on this list, this is pretty specific. But it is definitely my favorite album of the decade. Sparse, messy, aggressive post-apocalyptic post-punk with great hooks and a sci-fi theme that I cannot sever from how I remember Battlestar Galactica. It's not perfect, but it's perfectly imperfect. I probably will be the only person on the entire Internets who ranks this #1, though.
DVR. As Spacewoman says, the decade started with her chiding me for spending money on a gadget we didn't need and ended up with her wondering whether four tuners is enough. Some months after we got TiVo, I started noticing situations -- on the telephone, listening to the radio -- where I had to consciously remind myself that I couldn't just rewind to catch something I missed. Last month, Spaceboy 1.0, overtired and cranky, burst into tears, crying because "we can't pause time -- it just continues!" I wrote a heartfelt breakup letter to TiVo on this blog. DVR made it possible to watch only good TV (or at least only enjoyable TV) and made us all more efficient consumers of it.
The ending of The Sopranos. A perfect meta commentary at the end of a season that stole moments of meta commentary. I continue to maintain that anybody who argues that Tony did or didn't die, or that the ending was unsatisfying or anything short of perfect, has missed the point. And because there was so much focus on the last moment, sometimes we forget how ridiculously, sublimely, expertly tense the preceding moments were. Truly virtuoso filmmaking.
Moneyball and the rise of populist baseball statistical analysis. Aside from Medicare, I don't think there is anything for which the gap between my knowledge at the beginning of the decade and my knowledge at the end is greater than baseball. Moneyball, the book, didn't invent the objective analysis of baseball (really, all it did was identify a notion that independently was taking hold among baseball executives), but it brought it to an exponentially larger group of people, many of whom were extremely smart and willing to dedicate long hours to advancing a new understanding of an old-fashioned sport. The ideas underlying Moneyball the book are now so pervasive that the use of "Moneyball" to describe a way of thinking is obsolete. Only a few dinosaurs in baseball reject what Moneyball described, and that, more than "small-market," explains why the Kansas City Royals are (and the Seattle Mariners were) terrible.
The Decemberists. Every decade, more or less, has a defining band or two that is popular enough that most everybody heard of them but just shy of the kind of popularity that would qualify them as superstars. In the 1980s it was the Clash and maybe U2. In the 1990s it was Wilco. In the Aughts, it was the Decemberists. By turns obtuse and magnificent, playful and dour, I can't think of a better band to carry the standard for music in the Aughts (without being at all representative, of course).
The 2001 Seattle Mariners and the 2008-09 Mariners GM, Jack Zduriencik. The 2001 Mariners won 116 games after losing, in the three prior years, a Hall-of-Fame center fielder, pitcher, and shortstop in each's prime. They did not lose a three- or four-game series until late September, I believe. They had a RF who beat balls into the ground and ran to first before the end of the first hop, a 1.000+ OPS DH with a degenerative eye disease, a CF who was as fast, as quick off the bat, and as canny with routes as any in the game, a roided-up 2B who flipped his bat, a hundred-year-old junkballer, a hotheaded Venezuelan who bragged about his dancing, and a manager known for throwing bases into the outfield. It was too bad when they cancelled the playoffs that year. As for 2009, the Mariners have a manager that turned three middling prospects and most unproductive contract in Mariners history into Cliff Lee and Milton Bradley. There is no GM in sports as beloved right now as Zduriencik is in Seattle.

TECHNICALLY, IT'S STILL MR. GOLDBLUM'S BOARD, BUT SINCE HE'S A HUMAN WASTELAND I'LL LET MR. CONNERY PICK AGAIN: The top 10 unintentionally worst company URLs.
FEED ME ALL NIGHT LONG: I do want to commend the local production of Little Shop of Horrors that we greatly enjoyed tonight -- among other merits, it maintained the integrity of the original ending, and the small, talented troupe was of uniformly high quality. Except for this one problem: Audrey II was voiced by a woman. Yes, the plant was a giant, singing vagina begging to be fed ... and it felt weird. Nightmarish, really, to have something that looked and sounded like that to be demanding its flesh, and it definitely changed the dynamics of the Audrey II/Audrey confrontation late in Act II ("Sominex/Suppertime II").
It's rare that I feel this confounded by a cultural work. Or maybe I've got issues. [Da-DOO.] The production remains at the Prince Theater through Sunday.
AW, COME ON, DAD. THIS COULD BE THE MIRACLE THAT SAVES THE SIMPSONS' CHRISTMAS. IF TV HAS TAUGHT ME ANYTHING, IT'S THAT MIRACLES ALWAYS HAPPEN TO POOR KIDS AT CHRISTMAS. IT HAPPENED TO TINY TIM, IT HAPPENED TO CHARLIE BROWN, IT HAPPENED TO THE SMURFS, AND IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO US! Twenty years ago this evening, the first full-length Simpsons episode -- "Simpsons Roasting Over An Open Fire" -- made its television debut.
CAN YOU CALL IT TREASURE IF YOU PAID FOR IT? Once upon a time, the United States sank a bunch of concrete in the San Francisco Bay adjacent to Yerba Buena Island and built a naval base. Yesterday, the U.S. sold the island to San Francisco (for $105 million and a share of the development proceeds).
The island, while itself utilitarian and unsightly, sports stunning views of San Francisco, the Bay (and its island outcroppings), Berkeley, and Oakland. On the minus side of the ledger, it is reachable only by boat and a bridge subject to severe traffic delays, intermittent closures, poor public transportation, and likely future tolls.
To what development use should San Francisco put the island? Sift through the endless possibilities and suggest something.
GUILDS OTHER THAN THOSE IN WORLD OF WARCRAFT: The SAG nominations on the movie side aren't all that interesting, basically giving us the same group of usual suspects, with a few mild surprises (An Education gets the fifth "ensemble" slot, rather than Up In The Air, even though all three UITA primary performers are nominated, Diane Kruger sneaks into the supporting actress race for Basterds, and love for The Last Station). Also of interest is that the acting branch gave no love to Avatar.
On the TV side, it's a little wilder--while Glee and Modern Family both get ensemble nods for comedy, no individual performers are nominated (likely in part because there's no supporting acting category at the SAGs and because the performers aren't big names), True Blood pulls off the same feat in drama, and Jim Parsons is snubbed again for Big Bang.
DON'T THEY HAVE TO ESTABLISH A FOOTBALL PROGRAM FIRST? If the Big Ten is going to add a twelfth team, Will Leitch thinks it should be Syracuse University, and not Pitt, Nebraska, Missouri or others under consideration.
THE QUIET WARRIOR: You may have seen by now the Associated Press vote naming Tiger Woods the Athlete of the Decade, followed by Lance Armstrong, Roger Federer and Michael Phelps, and it's hard to argue with those four being named in that order.
Note, however, that they're all athletes in individual sports. (Okay, cycling has team elements, but it's not the same.) If the question is narrowed to Best Team Sports Athlete of the Aughts, the AP poll is unrevealing -- Tom Brady was the only such athlete to receive multiple votes at all, with Peyton Manning, Shaquille O'Neal and Albert Pujols each mentioned once. Yet if we're really going to answer the question, isn't there a name glaringly missing from the conversation? I am speaking of Tim Duncan -- during this decade a two-time MVP, ten-time All Star and three-time NBA champion, an fierce competitor of consummate grace, someone who clearly understands The Secret. (And, I might add, drama-free.)
Whether the ultimate answer is Duncan or Brady, I'm not sure, but I think it's where the debate ultimately ends up. (For purposes of this particular honor, I'll take Brady's three rings over Manning's one, and leave Pujols v. ARod unsettled.) Your mileage, no doubt, may vary.
WHAT'S ALL THE HUBBUB, BUBS? Okay, so because Modern Family aired tonight our So You Think You Can Sing Without Instruments season pass didn't kick in automatically, and as such I missed the first forty-five minutes of the show. Y'all can fill me in.
I HAVE AN M.D. FROM HARVARD. I AM BOARD CERTIFIED IN CARDIOTHORACIC MEDICINE AND TRAUMA SURGERY. I HAVE BEEN AWARDED CITATIONS FROM SEVEN DIFFERENT MEDICAL BOARDS IN NEW ENGLAND; AND I AM NEVER, EVER SICK AT SEA: Alec Baldwin has donated $1M to endow a scholarship fund for drama students at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, focusing on those who demonstrate "work ethic, development of leadership skills, willingness to collaborate, the ability to tolerate risk, and the capacity to work with constructive criticism."
DO OR DO NOT DECORATE THE TREE--THERE IS NO TRY:In case you love Christmas and Star Wars an equal amount--the Yoda holiday tree topper, perfect for the tree strung with R2-D2 lights, under which, of course, sits your tauntaun sleeping bag.
ETA: The presents are, of course, delivered by Santa Yoda, who, if you've been a good boy, might bring you your own Six or Inara for the holidays.
TURN ME ON, DEAD MEN*: Is it just me, or is the iTunes Store interface in iTunes 9.x basically designed to prevent, or at least discourage, me from finding or buying anything unless I know exactly what I want?
*See, it's a pun on both "Apple" and the number 9.

BIPARTISAN AGREEMENT: How should Phillies fans view the Roy Halladay trade? Ordinarily I'd never skate this close to the No Politics Rule, but on May 13, 2008, former Texas Rangers co-owner and then-President George W. Bush did speak with Politico.com:
Q: Mr. President, you're a Major League Baseball team owner again. Everyone is a free agent. You have a Yankees-like wallet. Who is your first position player? Who's your pitcher?
THE PRESIDENT: That's a great question. I like Utley from the Philadelphia Phillies. He's a middle infielder, which is always -- you know, they say you have strength up the middle -- there's nothing better than having a good person up the middle that can hit. And Roy Halladay from the Toronto Blue Jays is a great pitcher. He's a steady guy, he burns up innings.
I SAID, "NO, NO, NO": A sure-to-be controversial decision tonight on So You Think You Can Sing Without Instruments, but not really when you think about it. Nothing happened tonight to change my opinion of the singing groups or of the show generally. Just one question: who's dressing the teams, and was there a sale on douchey scarves somewhere that I didn't know about?
AND I AM TELLING YOU I'M NOT GOING: I'm just not here very much at the moment. Not to get all personal-interest-bloggy, but you could write an HBS case study on me right now entitled "Why It's Insane to Think That One Can Hold a Full-Time Job, Volunteer to Run Things at Both of One's Kids' Schools, and Have Any Time Whatsoever Left Over to Consume Popular Culture, Much Less Blog About It." So, a big thanks to my co-bloggers for politely not alluding to my non-existence, and for the rest of you, some thoughts on stuff.
How is it possible that there is a SYTYCD performance finale on television right this very moment with six (6) dancers remaining? I haven't been watching much this season -- I haven't found it compelling enough to hold my attention -- but if the show was going to have one less week than usual, was the right answer really to do just as many audition shows as ever but to go from six to one over the course of one night? It's very strange. I hope they go back to summertime and nothing but summertime.
So if I'm not watching SYTYCD, then what am I watching? This has been a big season for chefs, both Top and The Next Iron. Iron Chef is my Law & Order -- I always keep a few stacked on the DVR for viewing emergencies. Never having watched the first Next Iron Chef (but thinking that Michael Symond is the bomb), I was curious to see how this would work. Talk about a show that is influenced by every nuance of Reality Television: obviously there's a big Top Chef thread running through TNIC. Then there's Alton Brown, who is more of an amped up Tim Gunn than anything else. And then we had the ANTM goes to a foreign country element, in which the chefs have to fend for themselves in strange surroundings. There's also a smidge of Survivor in the mix -- who's hoarding the scallops? Did Chef Mehta purposely leave the ice cream maker dirty so that Chef Mullen would have to waste valuable time cleaning the paddle while his arthritis was acting up? Could Chef Freitag have wrestled the whatever-protein-it-was away from Chef Appleman if she'd really put her weight into it? I enjoyed the show, and thought that they got the winner right, but really, didn't the finale at Kitchen Stadium seem terribly discordant as compared to the rest of the show's run?
As for Top Chef, I was disappointed. The outcome wasn't wrong, given the final meals cooked by the final three, but it was a bummer to see Kevin whiff like that.
Leaving the chefs and turning to the families. Every once in a while there's a fall TV season that totally changes my TV viewing habits. (See, e.g., 2004.) Other years, it's like there are no new shows at all, as far as I'm concerned. Modern Family and Glee have replaced pretty much everything else on my schedule this fall. Modern Family has fixed what I saw as its one big problem early on -- the complete implausibility of anyone actually being married to Phil -- by making Claire just as goofy in her own way. And now it is pretty darned close to perfect. And as for Glee, well, I am basically Row A, Seat 110 in Glee's target audience, so not much to discuss there.
Oh wait, there is something to discuss there. I didn't much like "Don't Rain on My Parade." Not only do I not care for the song, but I spent the whole time sitting there wondering how a show choir doesn't get DQ'ed for having one person alone on stage for pretty much an entire song. Not that I have the foggiest idea whether show choirs actually exist or what their rulebook contains.
The "Best Animated Feature Film" category in this year's Golden Globes is as abundantly rich as I can recall a category ever being. The fact that I have seen three of the nominated films is weird in and of itself, given how infrequently I go to the movies, but all three of them were wonderful in completely different ways. (I have not seen Up yet, although Cosmo Girl just got the DVD for Chanukah, so I expect to have that box checked in the next week or so, and I am unlikely to see Coraline at all unless it somehow bizarrely beats out the other four.) Fantastic Mr. Fox is an awesome George Clooney heist flick that happens to be about an animated fox; Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs was a lot of fun, and The Princess and the Frog was a 100% worthy addition to the princess pantheon. Fantastic Mr. Fox is probably the frontrunner in my mind, if only because it works equally well for grownups and children. Kind of à la Shrek, although it's a totally different movie.
But more on The Princess and the Frog. Cosmo Girl and I saw it at a special Disney Experience preview thingamawhatsit at the legendary Ziegfeld Theatre. In a theater that tends to draw quite a Caucasian crowd, the number of African-American mothers and daughters all decked out in their Tiana paraphernalia -- days before the movie had gone into wide release -- was striking and extremely sweet. I have been dubious about the racial angle of this film ever since I heard they were making it. I am no longer dubious: The Princess and the Frog is racially aware without dumbing it down too much and without excessively beating us over the head about it. And while I can't say that any individual song was terribly memorable, I had fun hearing all the different New Orleans styles reflected in the music. This was the first princess movie in eleven years (if you count Mulan --which I don't) and the first one I've seen in a movie theater since the advent of Cosmo Girl. Movies like Brother Bear didn't suck because traditional animation is dead -- they suck because they suck. The Princess and the Frog is decidedly unsucky.
That's it. Now I return to my cave.

Analysis: Did the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame get it right this year? - HitFix.com
IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME; IT'S JUST A SHAME, THAT'S ALL: The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees for 2010 will be Abba, Genesis, the Hollies, the Stooges and Jimmy Cliff; among those missing the cut were Kiss, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Donna Summer and LL Cool J. Yes, we've got some belated Keltners coming, and wow did the Chilly Willies get screwed.
WHAT IS HASHEM TRYING TO TELL ME, MAKING ME PAY FOR SY ABLEMAN'S FUNERAL? Golden Globe nominations out today -- good for the Gleeks, for Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep, and, yeah, the prospect of exes James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow going up against each other in Best Director does make for a nice little story.
I'D LOVE TO MIX IN CIRCLES, CLIQUES AND SOCIAL COTERIES (THAT'S ME!): Sing ON, ALOTT5MA, and even if you might have ended up looking like Courtney Love if you took a drink every time Nick Lachey reminded us that There Are No Instruments Here, that was some innocent, fun tv. What impressed me most about the show is that they let the judges judge, and Ben Folds had some pretty insightful commentary while still making sure not to let the more devout teams know that his most popular song was a narrative sung in the first person about taking his girlfriend to obtain an abortion. (HT: Wife.)
In terms of fan favorites, I'm going to represent for my NESCAC brethren, who delivered a quintessential self-consciously wacky performance evoking just what I think about when I think about college a capella. They're #1, and BYU Fauxhawk Lady is number two. Back tomorrow with more (y'all already started), and if you're all nice enough by the end of this I'll dig up the YouTube of my a capella debut from 1994.
KIDNEY NOW! The actor who plays Grizz on 30 Rock apparently needs a kidney transplant. Now, everybody sing along.
THERE IS STILL AT LEAST ONE MAN IN HOLLYWOOD WHO KNOWS HOW TO SPEND $250 MILLION, OR WAS IT $300 MILLION, WISELY: Ebert [heart] Avatar: "Avatar is not simply a sensational entertainment, although it is that. It's a technical breakthrough. It has a flat-out Green and anti-war message. It is predestined to launch a cult. It contains such visual detailing that it would reward repeating viewings. It invents a new language, Na'vi, as Lord of the Rings did, although mercifully I doubt this one can be spoken by humans, even teenage humans. It creates new movie stars. It is an Event, one of those films you feel you must see to keep up with the conversation.... It takes a hell of a lot of nerve for a man to stand up at the Oscarcast and proclaim himself King of the World. James Cameron just got re-elected."
WON'T YOU COME ON OVER, STOP MAKIN' A FOOL OUT OF ME: Since I complained about a remake once today, let's take a look at a remake that I think improves on the original. The Zutons' original version of "Valerie" is a slowish song that wouldn't be entirely out place on a Dashboard Confessional album. Hand it to producer Mark Ronson, let him speed it up, emphasize the drums and strings while toning to down the guitar, and let Amy Winehouse sing it--that works.
YOU CAN BLOW IT OFF AND SAY "THERE'S GOOD IN NEARLY EVERYONE -- JUST GIVE THEM ALL A CHANCE." NOW, LET'S GIVE THEM ALL A CHANCE: In case there was any ambiguity about where this blog's sweet spot lay, A Capella Singing Competition + Ben Folds And A Boy II Man Judging + NESCAC Entrants is there. See you tomorrow night, and let's hope NBC's involvement in a reality show doesn't mean it sucks.

CREATIVITY IS DEAD: You know that funny (but little-seen) movie Death At A Funeral, featuring a particularly spectacular performance from Alan Tudyk as a straight-laced guy who accidentally ingests a powerful hallucinogen? It tanked pretty badly in general release, so what's the solution? A remake, but this time, instead of Brits, it's African-Americans. Seriously, aside from a few added "urban" jokes, almost every joke and incident in the trailer is literally word for word and shot for shot from the original, even with Peter Dinklage playing the exact same role he did in the original. To be fair, it looks like they've assembled a fine cast (Chris Rock, Tracy Morgan, Danny Glover, Luke Wilson, and, in Tudyk's role, James Marsden), and somehow gotten Neil LaBute to direct, but really? We needed this?

Memory loss can be a very scary thing. It can be a gradual loss over time or seem more sudden to some, but one certain thing about it is that it can be the single most frustrating part of your day or even days. The good news is that there are things you can do to improve your memory and this article is full of great tips on how to do just that!
If you need to remember a complicated piece of information, use the mnemonics technique. This is a way of associating the information with something that is common and familiar. When you make that association, you can think of the common item, and it will trigger your memory of the more complicated piece of information.
According to studies, material is better memorized if you go over it a number of times during regular study sessions. This gives your brain adequate time to process the information. According to research, students that had established regular study sessions recalled material much better than those who crammed all the material into one marathon study session.
Give your full attention and focus on what you are trying to remember. Try to study in a place that is quiet and calm for the best memory retention. Try to actively recall information in order to move it from your short term memory to your long term memory.
To successfully remember information, you need to give it your complete and undivided attention. For information to move out of your short-term memory and into your long-term memory, you need to be carefully attending to it. Be sure that you read and study in a quiet place without any other distractions.
To help improve how quickly something is stored in your memory, take the time to bucket the information first. Act like an information architect and organize the information you are try to commit to memory based off of similarities. Once they are bucketed, attack them as a group. You will then find they are easier to memorize!
Eat a healthy diet to keep your memory strong. Your brain needs the proper nutrients to keep the brain cells healthy. A healthy diet includes keeping your body properly hydrated and reducing alcohol intake. Alcohol confuses the mind; too much of it adversely affects your memory. Your diet should include low-sugar and low-fat foods.
Improving your memory may be something as simple as going out for a jog or a bike ride. Recent studies have shown that aerobic exercises can actually cause the development of new neurons in the hippocampus of the brain, which is considered to be the memory store center of the brain.
Try to control the amount of stress in your daily life. Stress is one of the worst enemies for your brain. It destroys brain cells over time and hurts its ability to create new memories and retrieve old ones. Meditation is one of the ways that you can use to reduce the amount of stress in your life.
Teach others what you know. Sharing what you know can really help your memory. Even if you are not an expert on the subject, explain what you do know to a friend or family member. A combination of explaining and repeating the information aloud will help you in remembering it later.
If you have a bad memory, and you happen to remember something you need to do in the near future, do it now instead. You lessen the risk of forgetting to do it when it is required. For instance, let's say you have a DVD due back to the movie rental store tomorrow. Bring it back today so you do not forget.
Hopefully, you have learned a few tips and tricks on increasing the potency of your memory and sharpening your thinking skills. Much of the time, memory deficiency can be attributed to stress and other daily ongoings that take a lot out of us. Practice some of the methods mentioned in this article and you should soon find yourself better able to remember before you know it!


Himachal Pradesh Tourism is indeed a bench mark for the other tourist places of the country. With its lavishing green landscape, endless mountain ranges, River Beas, thick forests and very humble local people, Himachal Pradesh has made its mark in the Tourism sector of the country and world. And to explore the state completely is never possible in a single visit. No matter how many times you have visited this state, you will always find it new, rejuvenating and relaxing to spend a holiday. If you are planning for such a holiday here or any other part of the world, it is worth noting the below tips.
Do not go out alone during late evenings and night. Always move in groups.
Make a note of emergency numbers and details of the hotel where you are put in.
Avoid taking eatables offered by the local people in buses, taxis etc.
Make sure all your expensive stuffs are kept in safety lockers of your hotel room. Carry just enough money. During your travel, keep your cameras and other devices safely in a bad and check regularly.
Always ask for authorized tourist guides who have a badge provided by the Indian Government.
Wear descent clothes. Especially females should avoid wearing body hugging and exposing clothes.
Wear Indian clothes at holy places like temples, mosques, Gurudwaras etc.
Carry your own water bottle and avoid drinking from hotel tumblers and mugs.
Avoid eating junk and roadside foods or in small restaurants. The hygienic conditions are not too good in such places.
Avoid eating raw food, cut vegetables/ fruits or juices prepared in open area. Prefer eating cooked and hot food.
During summers, carry enough water for the whole day and make sure you apply sunscreen every 3 hour. Wear a good sunglass, hats/caps to avoid sun tan and allergies.
All foreign tourists who are planning to extend their stay should seek prior permission from the nearest / Sadar Police Station and the Foreigners' Regional Registration Officer.
Make sure your vehicles are parked in authorized parking lots. If they are towed for any reasons, contact the Police Control room immediately.
Always go for a prepaid, booked transportation service. Ask for the fare chart to find out the exact charges applicable for the service.
Write down all the important contact numbers of the police, foreign ministry, and local authorities in a handbook and carry it with you always.
For any adventure trips and sightseeing use the facilities provided by the HPTDC which has its own fleet of buses, coaches and taxis.
Take prior permission from the local authorities like the police, tourist agencies and SDM before carrying out adventure activity like river rafting, trekking, paragliding etc.
Don't leave polythene and non-biodegradable substance around the place. Himachal Pradesh has banned the use of plastic bags.
Don't get compelled to take up shopping or tours by local vendors, taxi drivers. Take assistance of authorized people of the Himachal Pradesh Tourism Development Corporation available with your hotels and travel agencies.
Don't buy by-products of animals. They are usually smuggled and illegally sold.
Don's scratch or inscribe on trees, monuments and buildings.
Do not use or carry illegal drugs such as heroin, opium or marijuana, which is considered a crime under Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
Don't risk standing at the edges of hill rocks, trees and river side. The water currents are unpredictable and might be a threat to life.
Do not light fire in the bushes at high altitudes. This might sometime lead to forest fires.
Don't park vehicles on road sides which are not meant for parking.

2 Chainz Recorded A Verse For Travis Scott & Quavo's "Modern Slavery"
"A lot of people ain't been using my verses lately."
Though it seemed fairly certain that 2 Chainz would appear on Eminem's Revival, when the tracklist arrived, the Atlanta rapper was nowhere to be found. Judging by his post on Instagram, it seemed that Chainz was under the impression he was going to make the cut. Unfortunately, it seems he had a similar experience with Travis Scott and Quavo's Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho, but he's being a pretty good sport about it.
Commenting on an Instagram video of Swizz Beatz vibing out to Travis and Quavo's "Modern Slavery," Chainz revealed he had recorded a verse for the track as well. "Dat shit hard !! I did a verse to that," he said. "A lot of people ain't been using my verses lately," he added, making it clear that the comment was lighthearted with the addition of some playful emojis.
Swizz then replied, hinting that he and Chainz have a collaboration in the stash. "I don't have that problem! I'm using your verse!"
Though he may have missed out on two tracks this year, Chainz has landed a number of big guest appearances in 2017. He showed up on Drake's "Sacrifices" alongside Young Thug, Jeezy's "Floor Seats" and The Fate Of The Furious' "Gang Up" with Wiz Khalifa, Young Thug, and PnB Rock, to name a few. He collaborated with both Quavo and Travis Scott on his own album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music.
Chainz' Pretty Girls Like Trap Music landed on our Hottest albums of 2017 list and "Good Drank" made the Hottest Songs. Listen to "Modern Slavery" below. Could a remix with 2 Chainz still be on the way?

Masking the holes is a nice touch!
Good to see some (relatively) local stuff happening! I'm in St.Cloud. I'll probably be placing an order with you in the next couple months.
Welcome to the White Market my friend!
I am very happy to see you handling high quality cases and enclosures. I think there has been a need around Prodigy for something like this...especially for us US based folks!
Best of luck on your new venture.
This is a great idea. I HATE cutting holes for XLRs and IEC sockets!!!!!
Randyman.. These are very close. All the design and protos are done. Just need to organize who wants what. So, if you want one I will confirm you for one! I will be stocking a number of things as well.
