Is it just me or is "Pop Ambient 2010" from Kompakt really superb? I mean they're always great comps, but this one seems supernaturally so.

0-0 headed into the 3rd. 17 games in 30 days has the Preds looking a bit worn out. Methinks a shootout is likely.

Where do you want to see greenspace in Nashville? Mark your favorite places on a Google Earth map now!

Partners in the Nashville-Davidson County Open Space Plan are currently soliciting public input on species places to you. This input will be used to inform the priorities and recommendations of the Plan. For more information on the project, please see http://nashvilleopenspace.wordpress.com/about/.
/> The following instructions will help you use Google Earth, a tool that gives a view of the earth in 3D. Following the instructions, you will be able to identify the location of places you know and to tell us why they should be included in the plan. A composite map of these places will be periodically updated and posted at
http://nashvilleopenspace.wordpress.com/Public Input and Outreach

Click Google Earth Instructions_Final_NXP_March24 for instructions

Please see below and be sure your voice is heard!

Nashville: Naturally
Creating, Enhancing and Conserving the Places that Matter

As part of the public outreach process of the Davidson County Open Space Planning Project, we are gathering input on what places in Davidson County the community would like to see protected.

We have a developed a Google earth tool that allows folks to go in a put a virtual ‘push pin’ on places you would like to see become a park (or other publically used space) or be privately protected. This can be a view you enjoy, a place you drive by on your commute, a vacant lot you would like to see turned into a garden or park, a place you hike on the weekend, a stream-bank you fish on, a stretch of greenway you wish was built. No place is to big or to small.

Feel free to go in and ‘pin’ as many times as you like over the next few months. You can add a description of why you think it should be protected or what it means to you and your community. The results will be incorporated into the plan. The goal is to get as much input as we can!

Follow these 3 steps:

1. Go to: http://nashvilleopenspace.wordpress.com/public-input-and-outreach/

2. Mark the map with a few sites that you would like to see protected:
a. Go to the tab “public input and outreach” and click the link to the instructions
b. Download Google earth if you don’t already have it
c. Use the tool! Mark up the map.

3. Send this email through your networks to anyone and everyone you think might be interested. The goal is to obtain a lot of data through everyone’s ‘pins’.

Enough of the CRAP metal/trance "music" at the Preds games. Rolling my own soundtrack with Philip Glass' Dancepieces 1-5 on the iPod.

DJ MIX: Patrice Baumel Podcast :: Ibiza Voice Electronic Dance Music Magazine :: News, Interviews, Charts, Reviews and Bio.

Don't be alarmed by the word "Ibiza" in the title, this is a really great mix. My friend Ben shared this find with me and it's one of the best I've heard this year. The track selections are SO smooth. I was afraid at first when I saw so many tracks attributed to Tool (thinking it was the edgy metal band) but was pleasantly surprised by the lushness of this mix.

1. Kate Bush - Under Ice
2. Dance Disorder - Zusammen (dubcapella)
3. Tool
4. Clara Moto - Silently feat. Mimu (Carl Johan Elger Remix)

Schwartz starts off free agency for Lions by landing DE Kyle Vanden Bosch - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

NASHVILLE - Defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch(notes) agreed to a four-year deal Friday with the Detroit Lions thanks to the personal touch of coach Jim Schwartz.

The Detroit coach wanted the Tennessee Titans starter to open free agency and landed the Lions' top target by waiting in Nashville outside Vanden Bosch's home when free agency began.

"'I could be anywhere in the country right now, and I'm on your front step because you're the guy I want,"' Vanden Bosch said Friday morning on radio of Schwartz's message. "He's a great coach, and last night he was a great salesman."

Vanden Bosch said on WGFX-FM 104.5 The Zone that Schwartz left around 2:30 a.m. with only the final details to be worked out. Schwartz worked with Vanden Bosch when he was Titans defensive co-ordinator.

The deal reportedly is US$26 million with $10 million due in the first year for the 31-year-old defensive end. Agent Tony Agnone did not immediately return messages left by The Associated Press.

A nine-year veteran, Vanden Bosch spent the past five seasons with the Titans, getting all of his 43½ career sacks. He was a first alternate for the AFC last season despite only three sacks and played in his third Pro Bowl in January. He still ranked fifth with 86 tackles and 20 quarterback pressures.

Happy for the Lions. Sad for the Titans.
