Created by: Hanna-Barbera
MPAA Rating: Not Rated
Distributed by: Warner Archive
Running Time: 280 minutes
Our Score: 3.5 out of 5 stars
When it comes to “Sealab 2020″, I can’t help but relate it back to the Adult Swim take-off “Sealab 2021″, which pokes fun at the series and one of my favorites TV series. “Sealab 2020″ may not be one of Hanna-Barbera’s best projects but it is fun series. I mean who doesn’t like shark attacks, giant octopus and squids…this show has got it all.
Thanks to Warner Archive for finally releasing this show in its complete entirety. All 13 episodes are include in this collection. It is presented full screen with aspect ratio of 1.37:1. The show looks great on DVD as to all releases from Warner Archive. If you are a fan of this zany-yet-fun cartoon series, I would highly recommended this release.

An abnormal preoccupation with health can be debilitating, the medical fraternity knows this too well.
Researchers and doctors have noted that when there are no physical symptoms, it doesn’t really mean that nothing is wrong with a patient. A patient suspected of a heart attack a week earlier might visit the doctor once again complaining of an acute headache signaling brain tumor. This could just be hypochondria, or commonly known as severe health anxiety.
German psychiatrists noted that these worried patients tend to interpret normal sensations to serious illnesses.
Maria Gropalis, psychologist at the Psychological Institute of the University of Mainz, says their interpretations often go wrong.
Though visits to the doctor allay their fears for some time, new symptoms bring on new fears of ill health and disease.
Thomas Gaertner, chief physician at the Schoen clinic for Psychosomatic Medicine in Bad Arolsen noted that they get addicted to such visits. Elaborating further he said, these patients often have difficulty coping with negative emotions and their fears are fallout of heavy stress. “Constant anxiety is a very oppressive condition.” he noted.
‘Doctor hopping’ is common among such patients according to Dr Ute Habel, a member of the German Association for Psychiatry, Psychotherapy and Neurology.As fear mounts, these patients don’t seem to get the right therapy at the right time; and will not get one unless they realize that they have such a psychological disorder that needs to be addressed.
They are treated with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), in which “cognitive restructuring” plays a major role.
Gaertner noted that “heredity is probably less of a factor in hypochondria than in other disorders,” Therefore, researchers noted that external factors including one’s traumatic experiences in the past could have a greater role in the disorder.

10 of the top health benefits of Medical Marijuana. Many people are misinformed about marijuana and the benefits that it can provide. All of this information is backed by Medical Marijuana research proving the positive health benefits that marijuana has.
1. Treats Migraines
Doctors in California have reported that they have been able to treat more than 300,000 cases of migraines with medical marijuana.
2. Slows Tumor Growth
The American Association for Cancer Research has found that marijuana actually works to slow down tumor growth in the lungs, breasts, and brain considerably.
3. Relieves Symptoms of Chronic Diseases
Research shows marijuana can help treat the symptoms of chronic diseases like Irritable Bowel Disease and Chron’s Disease. This is because it can treat nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. The main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), was approved in 1985 by the FDA for use in the treatment of nausea, as marketed under the trade name Marinol and synthetically formulated in sesame oil in gelatin capsules to be taken orally. Almost 100,00 doses were prescribed in 1989.
4. Prevents Alzheimer’s
In 2006, the Scripps Insitute proved that the THC found in marijuana works to prevent Alzheimer’s by clocking the deposits in the brain that cause the disease.
5. Treats Glaucoma
Some studies suggest that use of medical marijuana helps lower intraocular pressure in the eyes of glaucoma patients.
6. Prevents Seizures
Marijuana is a muscle relaxant and has “antispasmodic” qualities which have proven to be very effective treatment of seizures.
7. Helps Those with ADD & ADHD
A well documented 2009 USC study showed that marijuana is not only a perfect alternative for Ritalin but treats the disorder without any of the negative side effects of the pharmaceuticals. ADHD affects an estimated 4.1% of adults, ages 18 to 44, in a given year.
8. May Treat Multiple Schlerosis
Marijuana works to stop the neurological effects of muscle spasms that come from multiple sclerosis by protecting nerves from the damage caused by the fatal disease.
9. Helps Relieve PMS
Anecdotal evidence suggests that cannabis use may reduce pain in severe cases of PMS. As many as 75% of menstruating women have some premenstrual syndrome symptoms.
10. Helps Calm Those with Tourette’s & OCD
Just like marijuana can treat seizures and multiple sclerosis, marijuana’s effects slow down the tics in those suffering from Tourette’s, and the obsessive neurological symptoms in people with OCD. Approximately 3.3 million people in the United States have OCD and 272,000 people in the United States have Tourette’s Syndrome.
I think this article is awesome!! I never new any of this!
Glad you liked the article! More people need to be informed of the benefits of Marijuana. There are way to many people that are misinformed of what Marijuana can actually do for them or their family. Spread the word!
I loved this article, I my self have tourettes syndrome and when ever I partake of the herb I do not tick and feel super calm. It helps a lot better than the medication I’ve had before. I have no idea why this wonderfull plant is illegal but I hope the government wises up and makes it legal. Keep up the good work, you have a new fan and follower

MB strives to exploit the natural attributes of phages to engineer novel therapeutics for potential global usage with particular attention to the treatment of disease states that plague less developed countries. Our areas of interest, specialization and therapeutic design include:
Development of Super-Lytic Nanoparticle (SLN) technology against S. aureus, M. tuberculosis and P. acnes
Alzheimer's lytic phage display-based prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines
Lipoplexed Safe DNA (LSD) highly specialized and targeted non viral gene therapy technology with current applications toward ovarian cancer and HIV VLP-DNA vaccines
Technology transfer of biologics
MB is a community-focused group that has a mandate of acting locally for global impact. Its faculty, staff and student members are heavily involved in the organization and participation in charitable endeavours both locally and globally.

It was a beautiful spring day in London. I woke up to the sun shining through my window and reflecting off the divine shade of yellow of my bedroom walls. Nowhere on earth can quite compare to this place, where I call home. I felt a smile across my face as I realised the day had finally come, were my dear friends Pat & Mike were to wed. Inspired by the sunshine, my walls and welcoming of spring, I put on my yellow dress, softly complemented it with nude heels and earrings, and I was ready for the big day. :)

Cycling in Melbourne Australia
Gday,
Not sure if any one else had encountered this problem but this is the second time something like this has happened to me. I mount my bikes on a bike rack which fits to the towball, whilst driving on the highway in SA last week i heard a loud bang and sure enough when i inspected the bikes one of the tyres had exploded. I'm not just talking about the tube but the tyre actually shredded, even had to replace the rim tape. Not what i wanted the day before riding in the Bupa challenge at the tour down under.
The time it happened before was also similar circumstances. Has this ever happened to any one?? i figured i'd put it down to traveling at high speed in hot temperature and a random stone popping up and hitting the tyre, causing it to explode. Any suggestions?

I had a run of this happening. Never on a car, once inside my office though... scared the crap out of all of us!
Also it once happened while I was riding and blew the tyre off the rim!
What was happening in my case was the rim tape had slipped and exposed the hole in the rim that the spoke goes through. So as the wheel heated up and things expanded, the metal of the rim rubbed on the tube and popped it.
So, replacing the rim tape sorted things out for me. I see you've already done that, have you had it happen again since replacing the tape ? You'll also want to make sure the tape is on nice and tightly and the rim surface is clean before doing it so it won't move around and happen again.
I wouldn't have thought that a stone flicking up would cause it though.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
Silly question but is the exhaust pipe on on the blown tyre side. Or maybe the heat from the engine could be the culprit. Just a thought.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
It looks like you're right on the money there Jack. I've just done some google -ing and yeah, seems to be that the exhaust pipe can really heat up and melt the tyre. I don't know what to do, certainly don't want this to happen again. So i guess i'll just have to travel with the bikes on the racks with out their tyres??? major pain in the a*s.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
Simple case of high pressure tyre exposed to the sun - I've stood near triathlon bike parking areas on several occasions and heard multiple tyre explosions when the sun came up. People inflate them to the maximum pressure when cool, then when the sun hits the black tyre they heat, the pressure goes up and bang! I've had it happen to a tyre in the back of a car too. Try inflating them just a little less, even 5-10 psi will make a difference; the high pressure and subsequent increase in pressure will find any fault in the tube/tyre. Alternatively, inflate just before you start the ride & the air on them will keep them cooler; If you think it is the exhaust, then change your rack, but I've heard this plenty of times off the rack.
Good luck.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
Yes heat of any kind can do this, and for that reason it is always best, if you're leaving your bike inside a car during summer, as I do, to drop the tyre pressures a little. It doesn't take much to pump them up again. But in a hot car, where I believe temperatures can reach 60 degrees, you're running risks if you leave your bike in there with fully inflated tyres.
I have wondered about something else. I did the Alpine Challenge last week with full tyre pressure, 120lb. it never occurred to me till later but temperatures on the day, gong up Buffalo, exceeded 40 degrees, and the bitumen was melting on the road. The heat from both the day and the bitumen must have put the tyre pressure through the roof. I'm surprised I didn't see more blowouts on the day.
<![if !IE]>▶<![endif]> Reply
Yep, it could let go, but you are constantly pushing the bead back into the rim as the wheel rotates, so it would have to be pretty bad; of course, the consequences would be pretty bad too!
As well as boosting the pressure in the tyre, the relative pressure would increase too as the outside pressure drops with altitude. Scary thought.

- 3 TB lemon juice
- 2 TB soy sauce
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
Directions

Yummy! This dish looks so beautiful, so delicious! with the colours. Can’t wait to see your posting. Will try it out soon. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is Nicole’s other sister =) and I have to agree it was DELICIOUS!! and way easy to make(I am not the best cook) So THANK YOU so so much!!!
This is Nicole’s sister. I tried this recipe tonight and it was REALLY yummy. It tastes like PF Chang’s honey chicken. Thanks for the idea.!!
I CANNOT WAIT to try this one!!!
Okay..Im making this tonight for dinner. I will let you know how it turns out! Hey, how do you make it so when you click on your links it opens them in a new window instead of closing out your blog????
Laura – I’m glad you liked this. And I like the suggestion of orange juice instead of lemon. I bet that would be yummy!.
Am I reading this correctly? The chicken cubes are cooked for an hour total? Doesnt’ that dry them out?
Monique – I’ll be excited to hear what you think (and don’t worry, you don’t have to love it – I still want to know how it turned out!).
janecat2 – no, the chicken doesn’t dry out after an hour, believe it or not – probably thanks to the sauce.
Anonymous – I bet the fresh ginger kicked this dish up several notches. Yum! I also used fresh lemon juice and I think it makes a huge difference rather than using the bottled kind. Glad you liked it (and your husband, too)!.
Mmmmm, this looks really good. I will definitely try it out. It sortof reminds me of my Mandarin Chicken recipe that I really like. I can’t wait to give this a shot!
I am glad I surfed the web and found this recipe. I have not tried it yet but I will tonight and will let you know how it turned out. I can’t wait!!!
Krista – glad you liked this. Thanks for letting me know!.
I will definitely make this again!
Ruchita – thanks for detailing your changes – that is so helpful! I’m glad you and your husband liked this meal.!
Made this tonight–my husband and I loved it! Just thought I would share.
Thanks, Susan!!
This was soooooo good! We had it for supper and there is none left. I doubled the sauce and followed your cooking times/ temperatures but I found the sauce was still very liquidy so next time I won’t double the sauce. Very good though.:)
I love this your site and all your ideas. Thank you! I always come to visit this site when I am in a cooking slump. (which is often) Honey glazed is one of my favorites!?!
[...] Kitchen Cafe’s Honey Glazed Chicken got me excited about cooking again! It got My Husband The Lawyer excited to eat it when he walked [...]
It’s in the oven right now! Smells delicious. I did cut back on the lemon juice because I only had 2 TBSP, but I think it’s going to be very yummy.
Made this tonight and it was FANTASTIC – can I tell you that my recently deciding to be picky eater son ate every bite! Love you and your site!
This is sooooooo good! Another hit!?
Hi Stephanie – you’ll have to forge your way through any substitutions you try. I’ve only ever made it with the soy and lemon juice. Good luck!
Yet another MKC winner. We had it with some stir fry veggies. Yummy!!
I have honey buttermtoo. How do you think that would go over with.
So glad that I tried this. My entire family loved it. I made a double batch—one with fresh lemon juice and one with fresh orange juice. To be honest I really could not tell a difference. Both were great. Everyone wanted the recipe.!

Harrison.
1993: Sidney Shlenker agreed to give up his legal fight for control of The Pyramid in a tentative settlement motion filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Memphis. “Basically the cloud of litigation over The Pyramid will be lifted,” said Harris Quinn, the attorney for city and county governments.
1973: National Bank of Commerce installed a new “Teller 24” machine in the lobby of Commerce Square Downtown to demonstrate the new technology billed as an “electronic teller” that allowed customers to conduct bank business 24 hours a day.
1963: Augustus A. Busch of Anheuser-Busch Co. told the annual meeting of the Downtown Association that there is a need for the “protection and stabilization of the so-called central areas of our cities.” “It is self preservation for cities,” Busch said. “But it is also self preservation for the areas which have grown up around the central city area, which is the anchor of the whole community.”

I knit in a very odd way, I call it half continental. I have the yarn in my left hand, and throw it with my left hand as well. So it is not english, and not continental....somewhere half way there. I have found it is really slow, though my knitting is very nice looking. Now I have been trying to knit in the normal continental style, and my tension has gone out the window. It is very lose and I have no idea how to fix this. Any suggestions on keeping it tight? I am knitting a scarf longways in an attempt to get my gauge to work properly...not working so far.
In other news, the choir I am in in is singing at the National Music Educators Association NW Division Conference in Spokane, WA this weekend. I am amazed that anyone would have a convention on V-Day weekend. We get to leave at 6 am on Friday and are singing at two highschools on our way up there. It is only a six hour drive. I am sad though, we will miss a lot of the really good sessions and performances because of the distance we have to travel. It anyone is a NMEA member they can come see us sing, but otherwise I think everyone is out of luck. My parents have not yet been able to hear me sing this year.
I used to knit that way.
I used to knit that way. Took me a few years to break the habit. It does make purling easier so i resort to that when i purl. You can get pretty fast but i got tired of the comments so i practiced using my left index finger now i wrap the yarn around my ring finger and then put my index finger under the yarn and use it to lift the yarn over the needle. I can go pretty fast now.
Thanks for posting that
When I learned to knit, I
When I learned to knit, I learned Continental but have felt that my tension was too tight due to the way I wrapped the yarn around my finger. Recently though, I've been trying a different method that I saw on the knitpicks site. There were some videos of the fastest knitter and she describes how she holds the yarn. I'm nowhere near as fast as she is, but I have increased the speed of my knitting and my tension is more regular. Good luck with it, but give it time as well.
Thanks for posting this
Thanks for posting this Andrew. I knit exactly like you (what you call half Continental), and I've never been a very fast knitter.
A number of times I've tried to switch to true continental and I have the exact same issue as you with tension that is way too loose. I have tried winding the yarn around fingers in ways I've watched in videos, but it is almost painfully uncomfortable.
Maybe Scottly is right and I just have to force myself to keep knitting the way I want to get to, but I will probably wait until I'm working on a project I don't care much about...lol.
I was told recently that it
I was told recently that it takes about six months for you to adjust to a new knittting technique. When I first switched to continental my stitches were way loose as well but in time the guage worked itself out, so now I have no problem. And... it took about six months to happen. I knit a lot of socks and you want socks to be knit tighter then say a scarf, so that might have helped me tighten up my general knitting. In the mean time you can do what I did an just use needles a size or two smaller then what's called for.

In an attempt to take note of a historic milestone over which it has about as much control as world peace, the United Nations declared Monday, Oct. 31, the day that the world's population officially surpasses 7 billion.
In a break with recent tradition, the U.N. won't name a symbolic billionth baby.
Nobody knows where the 7 billionth baby will be born, but India -- which is producing humans at a rate of nearly one per second -- seems a likely bet. With 1.3 billion inhabitants, China is currently the world's most populous nation, but India is expected to overtake it by 2030. Without China and India, the planet would be 37 percent less populous -- and a much harder place to find good takeout.
The last
The U.N. Population Fund estimates there will be 10 billion of us by the turn of the next century, which, to some people, sounds like a lot. But a crowded planet often is in the eye of the beholder. Did you know, for instance, that every person in the world could fit inside the borders of Texas if it were
Of course, the cattle would all have to be sent to refugee camps in Oklahoma. But that seems a small price to pay for being able to get a bagel and a schmear at a Korean grocery in Odessa at 2 a.m.
Population 'bomb' a dud
From the day we climbed out of the primordial ooze, it took our species until 1804 -- the year Lewis and Clark set out on their grand expedition -- to reach a population of 1 billion. The first doubling occurred in 1927, and anyone born that year and alive today has seen it more than triple since. That explosion led Paul Ehrlich, Bing professor of population studies at Stanford and doomspinning author of the 1968 bestseller "The Population Bomb," to predict mass starvation in the '70s.
Since Ehrlich's bummer prophecy, the planet's population has doubled, but advancements in technology -- notably the "green revolution" that vastly increased food production -- have prevented mass extinctions. Still, Ehrlich remains ready for the coming apocalypse. "I am a doomsayer," he concedes cheerfully. "But my critics don't seem to realize we've already got almost a billion people starving, and another couple billion with diets you or I wouldn't trade for."
Since 1950, the global fertility rate has dropped by half, making birth rates a less important factor in population growth than improvements in medical science that raised the average lifespan in industrialized nations from 35 years to 77 today.
Future shock?
As people live longer, the number of retirees in places like Greece, Singapore and Japan has increased, while the number of workers needed to support them has not. This has led the semi-authoritarian government of Singapore to run an online dating service to boost baby production. The same problem could soon strike the U.S., where every added year of life expectancy reduces Social Security's solvency by an
The problem as Ehrlich and others see it is not just that the world has too many mouths to feed. It's that everything affects everything else. Rising temperatures brought on by global warming have already lowered corn and wheat yields, and corn and soybean production in this country could fall by as much as 80 percent by 2100, according to a report by the National Academy of Sciences.
But there is reason for optimism, depending on whether you see the world as half-empty or half-full. A baby could be born who someday creates a crop that's as abundant as our maternity wards. It could happen tomorrow.

: Coincidence November 25, 2010
Coincidences, for me, are like little “pats on the back” that tell me, “Hey Sara, you may not know what is next, but here’s a little something to let you know that you’re right on track.” When they happen, I try to remind myself to ease up and enjoy the experience.

USS Sands (DD-243)
The USS Sands (DD-243) served in the US Navy for more than twenty years in the early 20th century. She was named for Rear Admiral Benjamin F. Sands who served in the Mexican-American War and the Civil War. The Sands was constructed as a Clemson-class destroyer.
Construction
Sands was laid down in Camden, New Jersey by the New York Shipbuilding Company in March 1919, launched in October 1919, and commissioned in November 1920 with Ensign William D. Leahy in temporary command. Carrying a crew of 114, Sands was armed with four 4-inch rapid-fire guns, one three-inch anti-aircraft gun, and twelve 21-inch torpedo tubes.
Naval History
USS Sands was commissioned in Philadelphia in November and received Commander Robert L. Ghormley as commanding officer in December, and then was prepared for European duty. In January 1921, Sands sailed between French and British ports until August, and was then assigned to duty in the Baltic Sea. Sands provided support for American Relief Committee efforts in Turkey and Greece until July. In the fall, Sands was overhauled in Philadelphia, and then alternated between service in the Caribbean and along the east coast until November 1930, when she was inactivated in Philadelphia and decommissioned in February 1931.
The Sands was reactivated in July 1932 and conducted exercises off San Diego and Hawaii. Deactivated at San Diego from September 1938 to September 1939, Sands was then assigned to patrol and escort duty off the east coast. Sands served as a coastal escort when the United States entered World War II, and operated on the west coast up to Alaska. In October 1942, Sands was re-designated APD-13 and converted to a high-speed transport, operated at Pearl Harbor until January 1943, and then served in the South Pacific.
In January, Sands and other ships were attacked by Japanese aircraft in the Solomon Islands, wounding nine crew members, but was able to pick up survivors from Chicago. Sands later served as a troop transport and escort between Australia and the Solomon Islands and New Guinea, aiding preparations for battles in Palau, Anguar, and Ulithi. In 1945, Sands was also stationed at Santiago Island, Leyte, and Saipan and operated as an escort to Okinawa. She was decommissioned at Philadelphia in October and sold for scrap to the Boston Metals Company the next spring.
Asbestos Risk on the USS Sands (DD-243)
Using asbestos insulation in the design of marine vessels was ordered by the US Congress in the early 1930s, after a fire at sea on a cruise ship caused the deaths of 137 passengers and crew. Sands, like most Navy ships of the time, deployed asbestos insulation heavily, especially in engines and engineering compartments, and for fireproofing all over the vessel. Asbestos has long been known for its insulation properties; however, it was also proven to be the only known cause of such debilitating diseases including asbestos cancer and peritoneal mesothelioma.
Unfortunately, a mesothelioma prognosis is not usually positive - mesothelioma victims only survive for less than two years after they are diagnosed. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, there are legal avenues that may be available to you and a qualified mesothelioma lawyer can counsel you about them. Information on mesothelioma cancer is not always easy to obtain, so we've created a mesothelioma information kit with up-to-date information in it to help meet that need. It contains legal and treatment resources, along with a list of mesothelioma clinics all over the U.S. All you have to do is fill out the form on this page and we will send you the free kit.

Police investigate possible drive-by shooting on SH 121 this morning in The Colony
By Marthe Stinton,
[email protected]
Published: Wednesday, October 24, 2012 5:11 PM CDT
The Colony Police Department received a frantic 911 call Wednesday at 10:27 a.m. from what police called a hysterical female driver.
Darren Brockway, spokesman for The Colony PD, said the driver claimed she was shot at on Sam Rayburn Tollway near Paige Road and Spring Creek Parkway.
"Officers and medics arrived because she was hysterical," Brockway said. "We couldn't get much information from her. The officers checked the vehicle - there were no bullet holes - and went to the area where she claimed it happened and found no bullet holes or shell casings."
Officers have looked at video from the tollway and have confirmed there was a vehicle near the woman's at the time she stated. There is no indication or confirmation shots were fired.
"We are now finding out that she may have had a blowout and there could have been some road rage happening while in traffic," Brockway said. "At this time we cannot confirm that shots were actually fired. We are not ruling it out and will need to enhance the video we have to determine that. NTTA is now in the process of [providing us with] those videos so we can watch and enhance it."
Because of the blowout, the woman lost control of her vehicle and hit a pole but Brockway said there was only minor damage to the woman's vehicle. She was taken to Baylor Medical Center at Carrollton for anxiety issues.
"The victim in this case is still unable to give a clear story of what happened, but what we are piecing together is that there was some arguing in traffic," Brockway said. "Then this happened, so when she calms down she can give us a full story of what happened. In the meantime, we will be looking at the video to see if we can make that determination ourselves."
Officers have a partial license plate and will be investigating the incident.
"If we do find out shots were fired, then that is deadly conduct, which is a felony and we will pursue it to the full extent," Brockway said. "Even if a gun was just displayed, we would still want to talk with that person. It's obviously scared this woman half to death. Even displaying a firearm in a threatening manner is still a crime - a very serious one. I think she could argue that she was in fear for her life."
Road rage issues are not uncommon in The Colony, Brockway said, as the department receives daily complaints.
"These calls increase during peak traffic hours where people do get upset and a simple honking of the horn could set off people who are usually sweet people but it turns them into monsters," he said. "We do try to tell people that if there is a vehicle in front of you that is driving slower than what you would like, there is probably a reason for that. A simple honking of a horn could fire up someone's adrenaline and people could get mad and you never know what they're going to do."

- Oct 18, 20124Let me say this right off the bat: Borderlands 2 is not a bad game. Borderlands 2 is NOT a bad game!
On the surface, Borderlands 2 is a very good-looking, witty, polished shooter that seems like it would deliver everything the first game had to deliver, and some more. However, beneath that charming exterior lies an extreeeeeemely slow and repetitive shooter that makes anyone with a working gag reflex to put the game down and play with Microsoft Excel instead.
I loved the first Borderlands, I would play and play before sleep (and then not go to sleep), I loved the gameplay; the RPG and the First Person Shooter combination was unlike anything I ever seen, I remember thinking that Borderlands was everything I wanted Fallout 3 to be. So, what went wrong with the sequel?
First of all, do you recall the tutorial section of the first Borderlands where Claptrap escorts you around the bandit camp? That section took around 15 minutes and the game threw you into an open world, giving you a few quests to start yourself off. In Borderlands 2, someone thought it would be a marvelous idea to expand that 15 minutes of tutorial into a span of 2 hours, 2 mundane hours of you going through the same, boring, ice environment, listening to that poor excuse of a "funny little robot" called Claptrap yelling in your ear through the whole thing. I don't know about you, but I didn't find any gameplay in Borderlands 2 before reaching Sanctuary fun in any way shape or form.
Gameplay remains the same as the first Borderlands: Shoot and loot, there are tons of different guns with different stats, you can swap them in and out at any time in your inventory, you can equip different shields and grenade mods too, for those who have played the first game, this will feel familiar to you. Speaking of shoot and loot, the shooting is the main course of the game, it begins to feel repetitive and boring killing the same type of enemy over and over and over, with the occasional "badass" enemy or miniboss thrown in to slow you down, looting remains the same; you go to anything that has a green light and mash the loot button to loot stuff, although, 99% of the time, you won't find anything that's better than what you currently have and you'll end up selling the loot instead, which begs the question of why not just have cash as loot instead in the first place if it's not going to be better items.
My main complaint about Borderlands 2 is how slow the game feels, quests seems to drag on and on over long stretches of maps that feels longer than they should be, and to make maters worse, the quest rewards don't seem to be ever worth it; let me give you an example: I'm level 25 and I need 15k EXP to reach level 26, I look up some quests on the billboard that are around level 23 to level 25, and how much EXP do they give? 1000 EXP? Are you kidding me? That's not even 10% of what I need to reach the next level! The enemies barely give any EXP worth mentioning, so in the end, it's all just a huge waste of time. In the first game, you would be rewarded EXP for completing challenges, so maybe that's why this game feels so slow in the leveling compared to the first, I don't mind the "Badass Tokens" system they implemented in this one for completing challenges, but why can't we have EXP on top of that?
My final gripe of this game is the so-called "humor". I'll be honest, I didn't find the humor in the first game funny, but the writing was tolerable, in Borderlands 2, the developers seemed so pleased with themselves that they decided to rub the humor in so hard that it will forever leave a shameful imprint of claptrap on your face. I watched a stream of someone playing the game for the first time and as soon as the "0 as a number" appeared in the intro, about 15 people in the chat went "Lol, that is so clever!"
...
Not... really... It was kind of uncomfortable to witness and I was surprised my brain didn't slip out of my nostrils to escape further humiliation.
In conclusion, I would say that Borderlands 2 is not worth £40 (I paid £60 for the Collector's Edition...), maybe pick it up at £15 if you really want to, but I say stick with the first game, if you haven't played the first one and you're really aching for a quirky, first person shooter with RPG elements, then I say definitely pick this up.…

- The game is improved in almost every area. However the AI is terrible. You can shoot people whilst other enemies stand oblivious just a few metres away. Claptrap is as annoying as ever and the humour is really childish. Guns are great though and lots of fun to be had with all the different designs.
-
- Its Borderlands, not different from the first one much, though the weapons are a little more diverse and the plot gets going quicker which is good being the first one was a little too spaced between the fun moments. The problem I have with the game is that you see a camp of baddies, you shoot one and they all go nuts, you kill them, you move forward and more baddies spawn, repeat a thousand times more add some boss battles and you got the whole game. But its still enjoyable, just as Skyrim was good for at least 50 hours before you realized that you are just stuck in a loop, and by then you got your moneys worth unlike most games released.… Expand

- Dec 9, 20126I am having a love / hate relationship with Borderlands 2. On one hand, I'm enjoying it enough to continue playing it after three weeks already, and I'm only about half way through, but on the other hand, all too often I'm finding that playing it is more of a chore than it is fun. Yes, it's great that there are so many varieties of weapons and shields but, well, there are so many that it's a bit mind boggling to sift through it all. Mostly I just pick up everything I find and then sell most of it all off at the next ammo dump. And the mission are so long, so very very long, that it takes upwards of three to five hours just to get from point A to point B in a side mission, that is if you want to waste the enemies instead of just trying to charge your way through them. When you finally complete the quest, it doesn't feel rewarding, instead it's just a relief that the mission is finally over. There are other nuisances such as picking up items that will change the look of your automobile that hog your backpack space when who cares what your stupid automobile looks like; that's such a minor part of the game anyway. No matter what others say, don't believe them otherwise: this is a really hard game to get through solo. If you're not playing with friends online, you will repeatedly find yourself outnumbered in frantic episodes of insanity during which you don't even know what's shooting at you and you will die again and again, and each time you die it's going to cost you some of that loot that you spent hours picking up. With all of this combined I found myself all too often just wishing the mission I was on was over already so I could get on to something else, and the problem is you can't skip the side missions, that's impossible, if you do you won't be leveled up enough to play the main storyline. Yet, on the other hand, with all of this frustration going against it, I'm still coming back to it and playing it because it at least has it's good moments, unlike Dead Island, and the visuals along with the humor is just enough to keep things going by a hair.… Expand

- Jan 16, 20136I know that I'm probably going to cause a lot crap on here, but I wasn't that impressed with Borderlands 2. I have played the original, and wasn't that impressed with it either. But after reading up on this game, and seeing new stuff I thought I would give it a try. Now its by no means a bad game, but I just found it to be average not that special. I don't know if its because im over saturated on first person shooters or what, but I played it for a while and eventually traded it in. The graphics were colorful, the humor was great, but online play for me was rocky. I kept getting kicked off, and the massive update that I had to install took better part of three hours to download before I could even get online. Also I think the balance is off when it comes to the enemies. I was level 7, fighting level 5 enemies and they were proving to be difficult,(and at one time actually killed me) now I'm two levels ahead but can't seem to drop them. However I fought a boss that was higher than me and held my own eventually beating him. Overall if Gearbox would fix the balance issues, the laggy online play, and maybe spice the gameplay the next Borderlands could be a awesome game. But as it stands right now, I won't be going back anytime soon..… Expand
- Come on guys, I really understand that a lot of you LOVE this game, but everyone giving it a 10 is just unrealistic. I generally give this game an 8. It was a very good game to me. It does what it sets out to do and that is to give players a worth while first person shooter experience with a comic side to it. I have mixed feelings about the cell shading. On one side of the coin, it gives the game that "comic book" feel and makes it more fictional and really sets the environment up, On the other side, its a "been there, done that" easy way to texture. I really wish someone would come up with a new way to sell comic book style games without using cell shading, its quite predictable.. On another negative note, the game was sorely repetitive. Go here, kill that, loot this, get reward, rinse and repeat. Now that i got all the negative out of the way, this game was a wonderful time waster. When I was bored I knew i could turn on BL2 and have a good, ol' fashioned killing spree and be rewarded for it. The main story line was good, not great, but good enough that I wanted to complete it. They expanded on the dialogue from the first game in a comically gritty way and in more than one occasion I would burst out laughing at a funny quip or witty sentence. I also really liked how they made the bad guy believe he was the good guy. A good reversal complex on the bad guy added to his anger when you succeed because according to him "bad guys are supposed to lose". One thing I would have love to see added to the game is a romance section. While I know this sounds a little ridiculous to some, I think it would have given the main character a little more drive to complete his goal other than "Just because he/she's a vault hunter". Please don't confuse "romance" with "interactive romance" for I know that wouldn't fit into the genre. A scripted romance would have gone a long way in giving me more motive in my humble opinion.… Expand
- An amazing addition to the original Borderlands 2. While I enjoy this game, I will say Borderlands 1 was far superior. Borderlands 2 simply lacks the comedy that was found in the first installation of this series. It almost appears as if the game went from lowbrow sex puns, plays-on-words, and generally lowbrow witty humor to douchebag humor. Like high-five frat house humor. I totally screwed that chick, brah! Oh my god, dude! That's like totally awesome! *body five*
Christ, 2k. I'll still give your game a 7, but you dropped the ball on your writing this time around. Rehire the first team and fire your current one.…
- Dec 30, 20127
- Sep 18, 201210An absolutely amazing game. Borderlands 2 improves on everything found in Borderlands, from the brilliant writing to the ridiculous number of guns while adding in a plethora of new features. An absolute must have game.
- Sep 19, 20129
- Borderlands 2 will give you a lasting appeal that is equivalent to 10 modern games, and it's not just because of the huge amount of missions. It's everything else that will bring you back again, and again.

- Nov 21, 20126Didnt like this game. Everything seemed good, but the story was all over the place and a game needs a decent story, you never connect with any characters and its just a crazy shooter which didnt impress me. I didnt hate the game but didnt complete it and got bored quickly.
- I can stand the positive critic this game recieves from non-hardcore players. This game will dissapoint hardcore Borderlands players like me. Let's start of with the positive stuff: the game has gotten a nice graphical upgrade, the shooting feels more satisfying, and has a better storie (mostly), you've heart about this enough in other review. Let's get to the bad; the original charmed me with it's non-linearity, the nice atmosphere, the replayability and the unending variating loot. Everything has been downgraded in the sequel. -Non-linearity: Let's say, the story is pretty much forced trough your throat, especially at the beginning.
-Atmosphere: There is a lot more variation in the environment, it's never mindblowing, like the original with it's wide landscapes.
-Loot: Let just say, from the technical side, it has been downgraded a lot. The differencation between the manufacturers is nice but it gets really gimmicky also, the differencation within a manufacturer has pretty much dissapeared. For example: It's almost like there's only one Tedoire SMG, of course there are small extras like elemental modifiders, etc. but that's it.
-Replayability: The SP gets pretty annoying after a playtrough or 2 and there's no neverending loot variation anymore.
That's it, I know this review is pretty much useless because the hardcore BL1 players where this was ment for, have bought this game for sure :|… game gave me something the first lacked : storyline. This game is great if you played the first and wanted plot this is the game for you, a drastic improvement over the first. Enjoyable multiplayer and second playthrough is actually really challenging.

- Apr 15, 20136I'll give this game a 6 for three reasons...awesome looting/diverse weapon designs, fun characters (handsome jack is a pretty great villain) and its got a pretty gorgeous world. Now I'm not a jagged gamer by any means but i cannot ignore the awfulness of the AI in this game. it isn't just terrible, it's completely broken all together. You can shoot someone twice and they'll usually come after you but sometimes they'll just stop attacking and go to normal patrol mode like nothing happened. WTF is that? How does that happen? I mean really that is a huge flaw...and what I dont get is that this wasn't really an issue with BL1 so how does it exist in this one? I really wish this didn't happen because it makes me want to take the disk out and play something else whenever the damn enemy just ignores the fact that he just got shot three seconds ago and go back to walking around like a moron. there should be a caution level in this game like in the elder scrolls or fallout. when you engage the enemy and then disappear from sight there should be a few minute caution level where everyone runs around trying to find the guy, but instead they just go back to what they were doing...just awful awful awful game combat design. real shame too cause the rest of the game is perfect.… Expand
- Borderlands 2 is no bad game by any stretch its cel shaded graphics are smoother, more crisp and sharper than the original although cel shaded graphics are not to everybody's liking. I understand what people are saying about the loot and quests being long and arduous and not worthwhile, the loot complaints are quite petty to say hte least, I'd be more concerned with the AI who in the 1st installment were quite ruthless but fair while in this its almost non-existent you can practically walk up to an enemy and look them in the eye before they take any action and then worse still after a short firefight the others will stop shooting and walk on?! The only time the AI seem to be on the ball is in boss fights, although the melee psycho's seem to work well cowering after taking a melee hit or two but otherwise unfinished is probably right in terms of the AI. One of the more irritating things is the inability to get out of the water if you fall in, amazingly enough your moon jumping from the first one has been toned down a slight bit but still big leaps are possible but if you land in the water you somehow can't get out which is quite hard to believe and frustratingly stupid as all you can do is respawn… Expand

- Borderlands 2 is a more refined version of Borderlands. Essentially, if you liked Borderlands, you will probably like Borderlands 2. The gameplay is very similar, but there have been a lot of small improvements that really change a lot(the biggest improvement to me is that you can walk over ammo or money on the ground and automatically pick it up instead of having to click on it.)
The one noticeable flaw for me was in multiplayer. The flaw is that the loot is still shared loot. If you are playing as a sniper character and playing with strangers, you have a very negligible chance of being able to pick up any loot whatsoever. It's not a gamebreaking flaw, by any means, but I would have liked to see individual loot in the multiplayer.… Expand

- May 7, 20137"Borderlands 2 is a really fun game to play with friends but isn't as different from Borderlands 1." I don't mean that in a bad thing but if you dislike the first Borderlands, Borderlands 2 maybe a turn off after the first half of the game.
Borderlands 2 is an action/shooter WRPG and a shoot and loot type game. You got 4 character classes, one other character class as DLC. I thought the 4 playerable character were a bit of a disappointment as I thought there could of been more characters classes in 2 then from the first game. Sure you got the one extra character, the Mechromancer but i don't see the value in paying more. There're multiple and randomly generated guns each with there own type of weapon and stats to fit anyone's play style. When your base level progresses, you can upgrade a skill level that gives small bonuses to your character class. Pretty much, The Borderlands series is more like Diablo 2 but with guns which is a great idea for a concept if executed well. I can understand being a console game but it would been nice to have control of player stats then having stats done for you.
The major improvements to Borderlands 2 is its presentation. The game is much more funnier. Characters are interesting giving them voiced dialog, there're are bunch of references from the late 80s and modern times. The villain, Handsome Jack is everywhere and controls most Pandora, the current plant that series takes place one. You play as one of the Vault Hunters to open the other secret Vault and put a stop to Handsome Jack's evil deeds by joining the resistances against him. You'll see meet characters from the first game specially the previous Vault Hunts that will fight with you. The presentation to Borderlands 2 is greatly improved as well as the quest that I found tedious and annoying from the first game.
The only newest feature when it comes too gameplay is the new element called Slag. Once Slag is placed on the enemy, any normal weapon will do 3 times amount of damage and much more with stat bonuses and critic hits. Other then that, its still the same game as the first one with slightly great improvements to the presentation.… Expand

- Fun game, built mainly for the co-op, could use more of a story and plot. Haven't really spent much time with this one, though I doubt I'll be striving for the end, already running into frustrating scenarios... Started off as the Assassin class, no sniper-rifle in sight, and I'm already level 5.

- Dec 1, 20120Great game when it works, but what's the point when the game is so riddled with glitches, the game is unplayable? Unless you like to waste your time building characters only to have your hard work deleted, avoid this game. Gearbox Software is a joke. They have no idea how to fix the glitch and when you visit their forums, they greet you with a particularly offensive brand of Programmer's Superiority Complex. What do they care? They have our money. They shouldn't get yours. They won't get mine again.… Expand
-10Beautiful game, my source of fun during these useless fall months besides running. There is witty and colorful gameplay, and it is such a nice feeling when you find that awesome gun. The characters and NPCs are amazing as well.

- This is probably one of the better loot grabbing RPG's I have ever played. The graphics are nicely done, but are not for everyone. The game play is great with PLENTY of customization! This game is EASILY worth your money!

- Publisher: Xseed Games
- Release Date: Mar 2, 2010
- Summary: The Lunar series gets reborn on the PSP as Lunar: Silver Star Harmony with all new graphics, added gameplay features, and a re-mastered soundtrack.
- Developer: Game Arts
- Genre(s): Role-Playing
-.
- If you were ever a fan of the series, then I'd suggest an instant purchase of this particular title, but if you've never played Lunar before, you might be better off with a rental before diving in, just to see if some of the dated mechanics of classic RPGs are your cup of tea.
- Although Silver Star Harmony is not a perfect remake, it's one that definitely received a lot of tender love and care.

- JessicaG8After seeing the movie I was very impressed. I thought the movie was intense and kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The choice of actors was amazing. The main character was the type that you were drawn to and just wanted to see him win. After reading the other reviews I really don't understand what movie some of them were watching if they were giving it a 2 like honestly what movie were you watcing. I admit it's not the all time best movie i've ever seen, hence why I gave it an 8, but to give it a 2 is pretty harsh. Sorry but you guys need a lesson in good movies. Expecially when people give a movie like this a 2 and they'll give movies that stink in my opinion really good reviews. Guess it's just my opinion but to me you guys are wrong and this movie was awesome. Definatley worth a trip to the movies.… Expand

- 67Deepens as it plays out, and rewards viewers who stick with it through the clumsier passages. The film is moving and thought-provoking.
- 60The actual Taqwacore movement is distilled in blatantly simplistic fashion, but Zahra does capture the novel's adolescent excitement, in which a new generation rediscovers rebellion all over again.
- 40The Taqwacores aims for a provocative, anarchic cool by juxtaposing Islam and punk rock. But the storytelling is so muddled and the filmmaking so unpolished - and not in a good way - that mostly this movie is just unpleasant. It's also not nearly as insightful as it thinks it is.
- 30As a misfit-centric slap at religious conformity, the story's premise couldn't be more primed for trenchant social comedy, but screenwriter Knight and director Eyad Zahra opt for maintaining a thin veneer of tiresome obnoxiousness over exploring the contours of an emotionally complicated subculture.

[Beverley].”Furlong responds to the allegations. The RCMP is investigating.
(Frontier Apostle records are tightly guarded by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Prince George; the Straight was told in April in Prince George that those records were closed.)Well, I guess those records are going to be opened right back up now that there will be an RCMP investigation. Should be interesting. Of course, his just *being* at that school in Burns Lake would not prove anything, but it will be awfully strange if it turns out he had conveniently omitted that chunk of Canadian experience from his life story.
[Robinson] said she has only met Furlong twice. She said she tried asking him in 2008 or 2009 in Ottawa about the lawsuit against VANOC by women seeking to ski jump in the 2010 Winter Olympics. She said the second time was in April 2011 at a newspaper industry convention in Richmond, B.C. She said she tried asking him questions about his time as a Catholic missionary.posted by hurdy gurdy girl at 1:06 AM on September 28, 2012

The kraken of tall tales and sea shanties is coming into sharp focus, a flesh-and-blood reality. But why now?posted by the man of twists and turns at 3:09 AM on January 30
Ellis thinks our increasing ability to peer and pry into the world’s most remote nooks and crannies has something to do with it. “We are only now learning how to investigate the ocean without sending a man down in a bathysphere or a research submersible,” he told me. “The use of robot cameras enables researchers to cover greater swaths of dark ocean without endangering themselves. The more we do it, the more surprises we get.” (His new e-book, The Little Blue-eyed Vampire from Hell, is about one such surprise, first described in 1903 but only recently videotaped in its bathypelagic haunt in 1992: Vampyroteuthis infernalis, the freakish little squid with the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, proportionally speaking; light-producing photophores dotting much of its body, like deep-sea Christmas lights; and of course that awesome name, worthy of a Norwegian death-metal band.20) Stealth—made possible by far-red lighting and noiseless cameras—is also a factor, says Widder, in increased sightings of giant squid and other figments of the oceanic unconscious.

Interviewer.
Hi Mr. Turner really nice to talk to you again, could you please tell us a bit about the new album with the project Sunstorm?
JLT: The project is called “Sunstorm.” Serafino Perugino and Mario de Riso (Frontiers) used to exchange tapes. Mario gave Serafino a cassette he had from a journalist, with my unreleased second solo album demos…some of these songs were supposed to be on the follow up to “Rescue You.” When Frontiers signed me to a deal, Serafino asked me about releasing these songs and I agreed that it might be a great idea.
Should the Sunstorm album being considered a project album or your solo album?
JLT: The Sunstorm album is a project-album not a solo album. Many different songwriters were involved as were other musicians and Dennis Ward. So…even though I did write some tracks and sing on all of them, it’s not a solo album.
Dennis Ward from Pink Cream 69 has produced and also plays on the album, but besides him how did you choose the musicians you wanted to play with?
JLT: I did not choose the musicians but I think they are all brilliant and I would welcome the chance to work with them again.
How was it to work with the musicians you picked and did you knew anyone since earlier on?
JLT: It was great working with Dennis and the musicians…they did an outstanding job making the songs pretty much the way I envisioned them sounding. I did know Jim Peterik and a couple of the other writers before the Sunstorm project.
One of your label mates Jim Peterik have contributed with material to the album, but many other songwriters besides him have delivered stuff, can you tell us which writers you have worked with?
JLT: I am going to assume your question here is specifically about the Sunstorm project so I will answer it that way J. If I had to list every writer I have worked with on other projects, I would probably be typing for hours ….LOL!
Here’s some notes:
Jack Ponti: Jack Ponti was big in New Jersey, my home state. He played guitar in the band “The Rest,” which also featured Jon Bon Jovi. He’s worked with Skid Row, Alice Cooper, Babylon A.D., Bonfire (who I also worked with) and many more I am forgetting right now.
Laurence Alan Dvoskin: “Larry” was with me in Fandango, the band I was in before Rainbow. Very ecclectic band…not heavy metal at all but we did do some hard rock and bluesy songs…even some that could be categorized as Southern Rock as that genre was huge in the late 70s.
Van Stephenson / Dave Robbins: Have their roots in Black Hawk. I do not know either of them personally but Van apparently developed cancer and passed away a few years ago. There is a tribute to him at one of my fave sites, melodicrock.com:
Jim Peterik: Known early on for his work in “Ides of March” and I covered “Vehicle” on my first “Undercover” album. He co-founded Survivor…a band that had amazing melodic rock songs in the discography. He also wrote many of 38 Special’s songs. He’s written with many other artists.
Dan Huff: Known by melodic rock fans for his work with Giant but has gone on to be a major writer and producer since then.
Jon Astley: Worked with the Who among others.
Marilyn Martin: Most people remember her for her stunning duet with Phil Collins “Separate Lives”
John Parr: Noted for “St. Elmos Fire” and “Naughty Naughty”—huge 80s melodic rock hits
How many of your old songs are featured on the final album and how many are other songwriters material?
JLT: Lisa told me that the promo CDs she received did not include liner notes so she asked Frontiers for this information. I am going to paste it into this document so that you have it because it pretty much answers your question.

Why did you choose to call the project Sunstorm? What’s the any story behind that name?
JLT: I did not choose the name. It was suggested by Frontiers along with the cover art graphic. Since I am also a Fire Sign (zodiac) and can be a bit of a “sunstorm” myself in terms of my personality…LOL…I thought it fit. Actually, I really do like the name.
What are the lyrics about? Have you written about any special issues in particular? By looking at the title one can see that a lot of the songs are about love, is that correct?
JLT: Yes, you are correct or as I like to sometimes say…”personal politics” LOL! Here are my studio report notes on all the songs.
Keep Tonight
This was a collaboration with Jack Ponti. We had been writing for other bands (Bonfire, Gorky Park, Baton Rouge) when we came up with this one. It sounded like something I would do so I kept it for myself. Jack has a great imagination and is a very colourful lyricist, I learned a lot from him in that regard. It’s pretty obvious that it’s about a one night stand, althoughit’s romantic in it’s content. There must have been a lot of feelings for the significant other!!!
Fame And Fortune
Another song that came out of the writing sessions with Devoskin! I was telling him how I felt about my current situation at the time. I had just came out of Rainbow and was feeling like the game of rock and roll was very transparent and it wasn’t what most people think it is. The lyrics express avery true feeling that I was living.
Heart Over Mind
When I first heard this song I was totally captured by it’s haunting quality. It’s almost as if your in the mind/heart of the person who lost a lover and their inner struggle to gain strength to go on living: a strong song with a lot of personal meaning.
This Is My Heart
Now who hasn’t felt like this !… a killer rock track is setting the background for an emotional lyric of self reliance and power!… I really lived this one… Very inspirational!… a fav of mine!…. but then they all are!
Strength Over Time
A powerful lyric in a great musical framework!… they don’t get much better than this!… a true sentiment of the wisdom of life experience… and it rocks!
Another You
Peterik does it again with this ballad! Sometimes he just says what I’m feeling! I really love the touch of R&B style while still being a straight up hit pop song!!!! One of my fav’s!!!
Fist Full Of Heat
This is a western movie soundtrack title song! It has the story line and color of the genre! Think Young Guns, Blaze of Glory, etc… and it rocks! Cool!
Loves Gone Wrong
I wrote this with my friend Larry Devoskin. He was the keyboard player in Fandango. We gave this song a kind of Latin rock feel, on the original demo I even played timbales!!! The lyric is a struggle with a love that has already been over for some time. I know that most people have had this same feeling a time or two!
Night Moves
This was a bit of a challenge because a female had sang the demo and I thought the lyric fit her persona better than it did a male! But I just switched positions and thought about what it would be like to be in that situation. I guess it worked because I got seriously into the song and it came to life!
Danger Of Love
This was a great song to sing… the lyric is something we can all relate to! And the track is powerful!
Making Up For The Last Time
What a fantastic story!… I know a lot of us have had this happen: love with the same person the second time around! This is a well crafted, well written song! Peterik strikes again!
Arms Of Love
A Jim Peterik gem! Jim and i have been friends for a long time. We’ve written together as well (“Blueprint for the blues” on the “Hurry up and wait” cd). He’s one of the great songwriters of our time!!! It was a pleasure to sing this romantic song, with a great lyric of how it feels to be away from the one you love… a classic!!!
When and where was the album recorded?
JLT: I recorded my parts in my home studio here in Northern New Jersey, USA.
You’re used to produce your albums by yourself, was it hard to let anyone else produce the album?
JLT: Not hard at all! In fact, it was a huge relief! I could focus completely on vocals. Dennis did an amazing job. Although I do like producing it’s sometimes good for myself or any artist to let someone else take those reins for a change.
How was it to work with Dennis Ward, what’s he like as a producer?
JLT: It was fantastic! He was a consummate professional and it all turned out pretty much how I had envisioned it. That says a lot right there!
The bio claims this album to be Joe Lynn Turner’s return to melodic hardrock/rock, is that so do you think?
JLT: I agree only in the sense that this album is melodic rock throughout as compared to most of my solo albums that had some bluesy hard rock and more “metal” songs sprinkled in. However, I disagree in that I have ALWAYS had several melodic rock type songs on all my solo records. So…I never “left” the genre.
How would you like to describe what kind of music Sunstorm plays? And do you think that old fans of Joe Lynn Turner are going to like this?
JLT: I describe it as early to mid 80s-sounding melodic rock as compared to the “hair band” stuff that came out in the late 80s. I have heard that JLT fans who like “Rescue You” love this album. This makes sense since the album I would have put out after “Rescue You” probably would have sounded a lot like this one.
Can we expect more albums from the Sunstorm project? Do you have enough material for another album?
JLT: As for another Sunstorm record…that will be up to the fans and the record company. As for material…I am going through older material right now for possible use on my next solo album and future projects so I think there is enough material in the archives. Certainly we could also involve other writers like we did here with this first album. It does not have to be all my writing.
Are you happy with the outcome of the album?
JLT: Absolutely and it is great to read the wonderful reviews and fan feedback.
What do you think of the cover art-work? Who’s done it?
JLT: I do not know who did it but I like it! It’s a great graphic!
I think you’re voice are in just as good shape as ever, how do you manage to still sound so good and keep the voice intact?
JLT: Maintain a healthy lifestyle and get plenty of sleep. I also think that doing the session work I do constantly keeps my chops up. It keeps me practicing. The voice is an instrument but you still have to keep practicing but making sure not to over-use it.
You and Jim Peterik wrote some songs to the Deep Purple album SLAVES AND MASTERS that’s unfortunately was rejected, what happened to that material?
JLT: I think Blackmore may have some of it in his archives.
You’re also appearing on the Richie Zito project’s album AVALON where you’re singing “Is He Better Than Me”, how was that and how did you end up on his album?
JLT: I knew him from the past and when asked to be a part of the project I was totally into it! These things are not always as complicated as the journalists and fans make them out to be…LOL! Sometimes an artist just gets asked, likes the song and agrees to do it. By the way, Ritchie is a great producer also!
What do you think of the outcome of Zito’s AVALON album? And do you think that you’re going to work more with Richie Zito in the future?
JLT: To be honest, I have not received my copy of the CD but I did hear the track I was on and it came out great! Sure, I would love to work with Zito again. We have no definite plans though.
Lets talk about you solo albums and career for a while now, your last solo album THE USUAL SUSPECTS came last year, when can we find the next solo album in the stores?
JLT: I am not sure when it will be out but I am working on writing for it right now. Karl Cochran and I just did a writing session earlier today as a matter of fact.
Your next solo album is going to be your 10th is there any plans on releasing anything special for the fans?
JLT: To be real honest 10 is just a number to me. I just keep making music and am glad the fans appreciate it. As for anything special just because it is my 10th, I do not have anything planned at this time. That could change now that you suggested it though LOL!
Last year you also recorded an album with the Japanese artist Akira Kajiyama, what can you tell us about that album?
JLT: It is a collaboration with a great guitarist from Japan who I have worked with on some of my solo records and gigged with in Japan. He is multi-talented and plays all the instruments on the record. I did write the lyrics, melodies and sing the tracks. It’s almost like half a solo album. I prefer that critics and fans to describe it.
Did you do any touring on the last solo album?
JLT: I played some dates in the USA and Japan but we did not launch a full scale tour.
You’re truly a living legend with 30 years in the business and with over 50 albums released, any thoughts of slowing down?
JLT: Not at all! This business keeps me feeling young and music is my life. As long as the fans still respond as positively as they have been I will forge on!
You are really popular in Japan, why is it so do you think?
JLT: Rainbow was very popular in Japan and that was the band that really launched my start as a world-renowned artist. The fans there are very loyal so they have continued to support this genre of music all along. Sure, other genres have become popular such as alternative rock, but, the Japanese fans remain steadfast and I love them for it!
Can you reveal anything on what you’re up to now? Any new album release soon maybe?
JLT: as I said I am working on writing for my next solo album.
When can we looking forward to see Joe Lynn Turner on the stages in Europe again?
JLT: I am not sure. A tour requires a lot of logistics and planning and the situation has to be right and beneficial for all parties involved.
What are the plans for the nearest future for you?
JLT: Right now…finishing the writing for my next solo CD.
Thanks a lot for taking the time talking to me, is there anything you’d like to say to the fans and readers worldwide?
JLT: Thank you for taking the time to interview me as well. Tell the fans without them I would not be inspired to keep making music and that I love them all. Thank you to your website and the fans for their gracious support!

Lord.
Music
Who are your musical influences and when exactly did you find your Dark Funeral sound?< ?xml:namespace prefix = o
Well, I don’t really have any musical influences except for myself and my own inner demons. I had a vision of what kind of band I wanted to do and I’m still trying to achieve that. It’s a progressing through trial, finding new tricks and turns. We have a strong foundation and you can easily recognise Dark Funeral where you hear it but we’re still trying to evolve.
How do you think your sound has progressed throughout your history?
I think it’s just more real now, more professional…we’ve become better musicians…
Personally I think you got faster and faster…
Yeah that’s true but that was one of the things that I said already in 1994. I said with Dark Funeral I don’t want to be like other bands. They release 3 albums and then they go slower. We want to get faster and faster with each album. But….I must admit, my plan with the last record was really to do a slower record, but when we eventually stopped working on the songs we were like “Naa lets go faster!â€
I don’t think it was a lot faster, it felt slower because there was more going on…
Yeah, but it is a lot faster. But I guess it all depends on the production. Bigger production and not that dark like the other records, but it is for sure a lot faster than anything we’ve done before.
So, was your last album the most popular and successful?
I don’t know. It seems like we have been growing every year. I mean, I don’t know by record sales but I can see from all the touring that we are doing that we’re getting bigger and better crowds every time we go out.
Why do you think this is so?
I don’t know, but I think that one thing people realise is that we’re a really hard working band and I think the fans appreciate a band that gives 110% all the time.
So why did Caligula change his vocal style in the last album, its not classic black metal…
No, but as a musician and as a vocalist you also want to change a little bit. I think that the vocals suited the songs and production better than if he was doing an old direction. It’s just a natural progression, try a little bit different twist on the vocals.
So what do you want people to get from your music?
To feel the living hell we’re living in. Feel what’s going on inside our minds.
Is that what you get as well?
When I listen to music, when I write music and when I go on stage I feel kind of relieved. So many feelings that I put into the music, it’s a sort of therapy I guess. It’s a kind of a calming thing. You write to be able to live everyday.
Who writes most of the songs? What is the songwriting process like?
It’s usually me.
Completely?
No, I always look for input from the other guys but usually its stuff I write 95%-98% of the stuff.
Both lyrics and the melody?
No the lyrics are all up to Caligula. I concentrate on the music and he does the lyrics so we get our own territories to take care of.
Band
Dominator left Aeon to join you guys, to devote himself full time to Dark Funeral. What did you say to him to convince him?
Well, I mean I can’t really say anything. We needed a drummer and we just asked him if he was interested and he just said yes. He could have said no but he said yes and I haven’t thought more about it than that. Of course, it’s hard for them that they don’t have a drummer now but I mean it was Dominator’s choice and I am glad he made that choice. He is an amazing drummer and I am glad he wanted to join.
Matte Modin, he left….
Who’s that?
Oh sorry, your ex-drummer…
Oh, I’ve heard about him.
Ahh, I was going to ask whether you guys made up or something, but obviously not…
He fucked us real bad, end of story basically. I don’t look to the past, I look forward and he’s an old chapter. I’m not pissed off at him like that. It’s not like I walk round everyday “Shit, motherfucker†you know, he’s just an old chapter, he doesn’t exist anymore.
What are the personalities like in the band?
Five psychos… (laughs) In different ways.
Do you ever have any tension or any creative differences?
Of course, but we still have a core that binds us together.
Personal Philosophy
Okay, I’m going to ask you something that’s probably been asked a lot of times before. Your personal philosophy?
I usually don’t talk about that…
At all?
No, I’m bored to talk about it and I feel it’s more private to me these days.
But it comes out through your music?
I think the official side of my philosophy is what I show through the band and show through my music. I just want to have something private these days.
Is it possible to enjoy Dark Funeral without subscribing to the philosophy or the lyrics that you write?
I think there is. I’ve talked to lots of people we meet when on tour and also people that don’t even like metal, and for some strange reason they find Dark Funeral very good and they’re all into the music and not the lyrical side of the band. I’m cool with that, I don’t really care what other people think or not think and how they get into the band or not. I’m glad the people who get into the band and enjoy it and get something out of it, I’m really cool with that. I don’t dig into why too much, you know. I’m living my life in a closet, my own closet.
With the recent documentaries about Black Metal, it’s almost become a bit glamorised and a bit popularized. What do you think? Is it diluting Black Metal’s message as it originally was?
Well, I’m not really a fan of everything. Nowadays we get lots of requests to do documentaries and different videos, I just say no because I don’t like it. I’m not a movie star, if you know what I mean. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices I guess, like now. It’s more and more seldom that I do interviews because…I don’t know why, in a way our fans want to know what’s going on with the band and someone has to give them the news and information. I guess even if I don’t want to I have to respect our fans a little bit and do it, but I really like to stay behind the curtain and do my thing. I guess it’s just part of the business.
Especially when you achieve some level of success….
Yeah, that’s what makes it harder, that’s why I’m more and more seldom doing interviews. I get too much pressure from the media and then I just don’t want to do it.
Touring
Right, let’s move away from all that. Why was the UK tour take so long? The album came out in 2005…..
Well, we didn’t have any good offers. I mean, to do a proper tour anywhere costs lots of money. If we can’t get any show fees or too low show fees then we can’t afford to do it. I mean, we’re not making much money at all but it’s still got to be some money involved so we can get here to do it. Up till now we had such bad offers, we have wanted to come over but we haven’t been able to afford to until now.
Where did you feel that you were really welcomed? Where the fans made it one of the best gigs you ever did.
Well South America is really special to us. I mean, we are touring so much and these are the shows that really stick to your mind.
You were one of the first Extreme Metal bands to go to South East Asia and the Far East, Singapore etc. Would you go back?
Oh yeah.
How popular is Dark Funeral in Sweden?
I don’t know. It looks like we’re kind of popular. The last album was number 3 on the heavy metal chart so it seems like we have a really really big fan base in Sweden. We never play there but…..we seem to have a lot of fans.
New album
Last question, I’ll let you go now. Is there a new album, is there any material or are you still writing?
We have a little bit, the plan had been for a long time that after this tour, after the UK shows, that we have a long vacation because we have been touring a lot. We’re going to try to focus on the new album next year. We may do a couple of shows once in a while, but we’re going to mainly focus on writing and recording a new record.
Do you have a deadline or anything?
No, we haven’t come to that point; you know we don’t really have a record deal for the next record.
Aren’t you on Regain?
Yeah, but we have to do one album at a time. They are coming down to Stockholm this weekend but we are here (UK). They wanted to meet with us and discuss….I mean, there’s interests from lots of labels, I’m not worried about getting a record deal, but we haven’t signed anything for a new record yet. That’s one thing we’re going to take care of after New Years. Then write and record the next album sometime next year.
All right, that’s it, I appreciate you taking the time.
Thanks to Asif at Soundshock.net for setting up the interview! Owe you one buddy!

Appropriately.
Týr and Eluveitie had been swapping opening places for the tour, and tonight Týr took to the stage first. I was first exposed to the Faroe Islanders when they were on tour with Wintersun and Amon Amarth here in 2006, and I was really impressed by their novel style of metal, as well as their singing in Faroese. Unfortunately I got there late tonight, thanks to the London tube service, so I only caught the last two or three songs. They played something from the upcoming album LAND (which will be out in May – if it’s anything like their previous albums, I strongly advise you to pick it up), but I didn’t manage to get the name of the track. They closed with ‘Hail To The Hammer’.
Sheer brilliance. I would have paid money to watch just them. Musically, the Swiss band have the melodic death metal sound (a lot like In Flames or Dark Tranquillity actually, guitarwise), but with added folk instruments and a strong Celtic influence. They call it the “New Wave of Folk Metal”. When they were setting up their stuff on stage, I felt like saying, as Skwisgard said, “Grampa’s guitars!” You only have to take a look at the pictures. Weird and arcane instruments that I’ve never even heard of, let alone seen – pipes, whistles, flutes, hurdy-gurdy. When the bare-chested and heavily tattooed Sevan Kirder came out carrying a dead animal (turns out to be a Galician bagpipe), I felt I’d seen it all.
The band (all eight of them) had immense fun onstage, and the immediate irresistable energy they possessed infected the crowd at once. Their songs were immensely fun to move along to, even a “guilty feet have no rhythm” shit dancer that I am, felt the itching in the soles of my feet. Sevan was the most active of the band once he relinquished the dead animal, and that’s saying a lot – capering, gambolling about, dancing. What can I say. It really did feel like those village scenes you see in movies. The violin tickled out its merry tune (pun alert: the beautiful violinist’s name is Meri) while beside it, the hurdy-gurdy churned out whatever it is hurdy-gurdys churn out, in the capable hands of the equally beautiful Anna Murphy.
The dreadlocked and multi-instrumentalist Chrigel roared, growled, screamed, sang, played the whistles and pipes and mandola. The two guitarists, Siméon and Ivo were more reserved, but they were incited into activity by the enthusiastic bassist Rafi and the eternally irrepressible Sevan, who must have twisted himself into knots while spinning and capering about. Definitely a band to check out – their album SLANIA is out now on Nuclear Blast. The Paganfest moves on to the US and Canada after the European leg, and your money will be well spent if you check out this band alone. This motley crew of mental modern day minstrels, this troupe of troublesome troubadours – they will make your day, I promise you.
From the madcap and nutty to the serious and magnificent. Moonsorrow came here just last month with Children of Bodom, and having heard a bit more of their music since then, I was in a better position to appreciate the epicness of this band. This band doesn’t do things on a small scale. Their latest album V: HÄVITETTY consists of two tracks, one 30 minutes and the other 26 minutes in length. Their latest EP entitled TULIMYRSKY, which as my friend Luxi comments “if you can call it an EP”, is 68 minutes in length.
To be honest, I can’t remember any specific moments in their set. It was just a blur of music, a hypnotic swirl of black metal singing and tremolo riffing, with atmospheric slow passages and fast double bass blasting fury. It’s just an aural experience, where you let yourself be lost in the layers and layers of sound confronting you. Frontman Ville Sorvali introduced the last song “One more enough for you? Well, one more that’s longer than usual, OKAY? We’re Moonsorrow from the icy wastes of Finland, thank you, see you next time!” before launching into the 20 minute epic ‘Jotunheim’.
Back to silly and madcap again. I saw Korpiklaani open for Dream Evil two years back, and they weren’t totally impressive. Tonight however, they got a wild reception, and the number of crowd surfers increased noticeably when the mad Finns got going. The rollicking jigs and uptempo rhythms just got the voices singing, the blood flowing and the feet tapping. ‘Wooden Pints’ was a great opener – ‘hit them straightaway and hit them hard’ seems to be their motto! Following up with ‘Cottages and Saunas’ kept the pace going, the unforgiving humppa upbeat, backed up with the wildly flying violin got both band (Kalle especially) and crowd dancing. ‘Tuli Kokko’ slowed things down to give both a slight breather.
They played a song from their latest album KORVEN KUNINGAS, ‘Kipumylly’, for which Jonne relinquished his guitar and took a turn at the tomtoms (?) The magnificent violin intro to ‘Pellonpekko’ accompanied by the accordion (Mr Kaupinnen is the quietest of the lot, to the point of sulkiness!) was just beautiful and when the guitars and drums come in, the song transforms from just head-nodding to a groove that your whole body falls into. This has been one of my favourite Korpiklaani songs for quite some time, and hearing it played live ensured that it would be stuck in my head for another month. Another song from KORVEN KUNINGAS, ‘Paljon On Koskessa Kiviä’ was played. I’m not sure about the rocky rapids, but I do know Korpiklaani rock. How fucking poor was that joke…Never mind.
They closed with two odes to the art of drinking, the first being ‘Happy Little Boozer’. Listen to this song and tell me you don’t feel the tingle in your body. The effervescent Kalle and Jonne are just a marvel to behold, smiles plastered on faces and dancing and skipping around. When Jonne asks the crowd “What are your last orders?”, the inevitable reply must surely be “Beer Beer!”
Four awesome bands down, and the headliner still to come. Ensiferum are less overtly folk driven than the other bands tonight, but their subject matter is still Viking/pagan driven. Ensiferum share a common frontman with Norther, in guitarist and singer Petri Lindroos. He replaced Jari Mäenpää who left to concentrate on Wintersun. It’s an adulterous business after all.
The more straight-forward thrash driven metal with slight folkish elements works well for the extremely talented Petri whose guitar skills I have already commented upon in my Norther live review. The speedy galloping riffing such as on ‘Iron’, ‘Ahti’ and ‘One More Magic Potion’ gets heads banging, with the folk embellishments provided by the beautiful keyboardist (temporary, unfortunately) Emmi Silvennoinen.
There was more than a half hour wait between the end of Korpiklaani’s set and Ensiferum’s entrance, with harassed looking roadies scurrying frantically around. The first three songs suffered from poor sound, with Petri’s vocals and guitar barely audible. The band kept turning around to the sound people and motioning “Up! Up!” The crowd too responded at the end of ‘Ahti’, by chanting “Turn it up! Turn it up!” To the band’s credit, they took it in their stride and with a smile, bassist Sami Hinkka distracting the crowd with a little 12-bar blues jam.
The sound improved markedly on ‘Lai Lai Hei’, which was an immensely popular tune anyway, and the crowd could be heard singing along. The rousing ‘Guardians of Hate’ and the catchy ‘Dragonheads’ were received equally well. ‘Token of Time’ got a massive cheer because of the snippet of Iron Maiden’s ‘The Trooper’ at the end. Never discount the power of a tribute to Iron Maiden; so if you’re in a band, reading this, and doing a live show soon, drop in a bit of Iron Maiden. It never fails!
‘Victory Song’ went by in a flash, although the song itself is about 10 minutes long. This midtempo rocker is followed by the furious ‘Blood Is The Price Of Glory’, whereupon the band left the stage. The adorable Emmi tripped over her keyboard power cable, and bounded straight back up with an embarrassed smile. No damage done to either keyboard or keyboardist…‘Treacherous Gods’ and ‘Battle Song’ closed the night, with the crowd roaring “EN-SI! EN-SI!”
It was a great night overall, with value for money for five high quality and entertaining bands. If the show is coming near you, whether in Europe or USA or Canada, do make it a point to attend. I beseech you to. The adrenaline will leave you tingly for a few days, and your whole body will be aching from the headbanging, bouncing, singing, dancing etc, but I assure you that the smile on your face for the next week or so will hurt even more.

Hot Process Soap Making.
Metaphysical Farms offers soap making tutorials, soap recipes, a free lye calculator and recipe creation as well as homeopathy and meditation techniques to support your sustainable lifestyle
Measuring Equipment
A Scale is a must. All quality soap making formulas depend on the weight of the ingredients and not the volume. I use a $9 postal scale. A measuring cup for the liquid you are going to use. You could measure the water by weight as water has a 1:1 ratio of weight to volume (English and metric). A good set of measuring spoons is always good to have handy for fragrances and/or colors. You will also need a thermometer to check the temperature of the oils and lye solution before mixing them together.
Containers
You'll need 2 containers that are heat safe and lye safe. I use two heat safe Pyrex glass jars. Glass is great for lye if and only if it is heat safe. When you mix the lye with water it will heat the water up very quickly to 212°+F/100°+C and will cause glass to crack and you will have a strong lye solution all over. Other containers you could consider would include cast iron, steel, ceramic, etc. Never use aluminum! Lye will eat right through it. You'll also want to have 2 cups (plastic is fine here) to use to hold your oils and lye as you measure them on the scale. Make sure you label these for soap making only. You don't want to cook with any of these no matter how much you clean them.
Mixing Equipment
Most places suggest a wooden spoon. Really any spoon that is lye safe and heat safe will work. The problem with wooden spoons is after a while they will start to dissolve because of the lye. I would also suggest you invest in a stick blender. This will make the process of mixing your soap 100 times easier.
Ingredients
There are many things you can add to your soap (I've even seen formulas that call for ketsup). The basic things you will need are water, lye, and oil.
Oil (lipid): The type of oil you choose will make major differences in the type of soap you get. Each oil has its own properties that it adds to the soap. You can check out the sap table on this site for a list of oils and the properties they have. The table shows the iodine value (the lower the number the harder the bar), type of lather, conditioning, and a general hard/soft bar designation.
Lye: There are two types of "lye" that can be used for soap making; sodium hydroxide (NaOH) or potassium hydroxide (KOH). Sodium hydroxide is often used in making 'bar' soaps and potassium hydroxide is often used to make liquid soaps. Both are not readily available anymore. The first place to check is a local hardware store or backing supply store (Lye was/is often used in making soft pretzels a golden brown outside but leaving the inside soft). If you cannot find it locally, your only other option is to call scientific supply stores or search the Internet. You will notice, though, that if you buy more than 2lbs of lye you will be slapped with a $50 shipping charge because of the caustic nature of lye.
Water: A clean bar of soap starts with clean water. I recommend starting with distilled water. You can steep teas in the water to add a variety of properties to your finished soap. You can also replace the water with a variety of different milks. If you are using anything besides distilled water, I would suggest making a small batch of soap to see how it turns out.
Soap Mould
After you have made your soap you need somewhere to put it as it cures. A plastic lined desk drawer works just as well as any fancy mould you can buy. This is another place in soap making where creativity is the limit.
Quick Reference
- Safety Goggles
- Safety Gloves
- Scale
- Measuring Cup
- Thermometer
- 2 dishwasher safe jars/buckets/pots (not aluminum)
- A large mixing spoon (wooden)
- Lye
- A variety of oils
- distilled water
- Soap Mould (mold)
Making the SoapNow that you have all of your equipment you are ready to make some soap! Setup your work area so that you won't be disturbed. Open a few windows if you are inside. Line your moulds with wax-paper or plastic and set them aside. I like to set the oils and oil jar I will be using on my left, scale in the middle, lye and lye jar on my right. I also put a few sheets of wax paper under the scale in case of small spills. Measure your oils and keep a record of the weight of each oil. After you have combined all of your oils in your oil container you will need to figure out the amount of lye and liquid you need.
The liquid is easy. Just multiply the total weight of the oil by 28%-40% (.28 - .40). The more liquid you use the longer it will take for the bar to harden. I usually use 30%-33% (.30 - .33). Next you need to figure out the amount of lye. You can do this by hand using the sap table. Take the amount of each oil and multiply it by the SAP # then add the products together to get the total amount of lye. I also have a lye and liquid calculator you can use if you don't want to do the calculations by hand. The calculator will also give you the amount of lye to use when superfatting your soap (superfatting or leaving some oil in the soap is recommended @ 4-5% to allow for a moisturizing soap that is not harsh on the skin). Put on your safety goggles and gloves (if they are not already on) and measure out the liquid you need. Put it into the empty lye container. Open the lye and measure the amount on the scale that you calculated. Close the lye. Start mixing the liquid and slowly pour the lye into the liquid. Keep stirring until the lye is completely dissolved. The mixture will heat up (and may start to boil). It will also start to release fumes. Lid the container and set it aside to cool.
As the lye solution is cooling you will want to heat up your oils. You want to oil and the lye to be very near the same temperature. The temperature you are shooting for is 100%°-120°F/38°-49°C. A double boiler works great for heating the oils or if the container will fit (and is safe) the microwave at 15-30 second bursts.
Once your lye solution and oils are at or near the same temperature begin stirring the oils then pour the lye solution into the oils while you are stirring. What will happen now is the lye will begin to break the chemical bonds in the oils and create essentially a salt. This is called saponification. While the oils is saponifying you are looking for it to trace (thicken). If you are stirring by hand it can take anywhere from 15-45min to trace depending on the oils you used. You can speed this process up by using a stick blender. If you use a stick blender be cautious of bubbles in your trace. You'll want to mix until you reach a custard type consistency.
The Hot Process and Cooking the SoapOnce the soap reaches a full trace, it's time to cook the mixture and force the gel. You will want to put the soap into a crock pot (you could even start the oils out in the pot to heat them up) Put the lid on the crock pot and leave it to cook on low for awhile. The soap will heat up and start to bubble around the edges of the crock pot. Keep an eye on the soap and stir it down gently only if it starts to bubble over. The mix will begin to take on a clear vaseline like look. Once the whole mix has this look, you can test it to see if it is done. Take a small sample of the soap and rub it between your fingers. It should have a waxy feel. Test the soap by touching it to your tongue. Keep cooking....if it 'zaps' like a nine volt battery, it's not done.
AdditivesAt this point you can add fragrances, extra oils, colors, exfoliants, etc. Once your additives, if any, have been incorporated pour your mixture into the mould(s) you have. Hot process soap is a lot like rebatching when it comes to molding. It doesn't pour. It is a thick goopy mass (like mashed potatoes) that must be scooped into the mold quickly. Make sure to tap the mold on the counter to get out any air pockets.
Once your soap has reached room temperature remove the mixture from the mould. If you are using a large mould that requires cutting the bars, now is the time to do it. After cutting the bars allow the soap to further cure and harden in a well ventilated area. You may even need to turn them a few times to be sure all sides are exposed to the air. It can take up to six weeks for a bar to be completely finished saponifying. The longer the cure time, the milder the soap will be.
See, that was easy and fun!

An extra $454,481 goes missing from Petaluma's Theatre District development
By Peter Byrne
Last conflict of interest: The owner of North Bay Construction, John Barella, is the largest single investor in Basin Street. In a court filing, Barella admitted this year that he and Basin Street are "considered the same."
Public records show that within just a few months, Theatre District construction costs soared 150 percent over budget—sucking up $5 million that had been slated for fixing potholes and sewers and improving Petaluma's.
In August 2003, the Petaluma City Council voted that the proposed Theatre District project would pose no environmental problems. This resolution defied substantial evidence that the construction site had been heavily polluted by gasoline and diesel fuel hydrocarbons for decades. Additionally, the city's environmental consultant had warned the city that underground construction would likely require "special handling of soil and groundwater."
In January 2006, the city council amended the $7.5 million development agreement with Basin Street and pumped another $4.8 million into the downtown project. The huge increase covered remediation of what city manager Mike Bierman said were "unforeseen" "to cover costs of contaminated and hazardous materials encountered on the infrastructure project whose source resided on Basin Street owned property." Bay—although the nature of this work was unspecified.
On October 10, 2006, Marengo told Bierman that the city needed "confirmation of Basin Street's total payments to North Bay in the form of copies of canceled check(s) with a confirming statement from Basin Street that these canceled check(s) represent the $454,481 owed to [the city] by BSP." Marengo also wrote to Basin Street's general counsel, Paul Andronico, requesting copies of canceled checks made out to North Bay worth $454,481 and a "confirming transmittal letter."
In a recent interview with the Bohemian, Andronico said that Basin Street made a "voluntary contribution" to compensate the city for the disallowed remediation work, and claimed that the $454,481 was applied by Basin Street as a credit to the city". Andronico said he does not know why the city has no documented confirmation that Basin Street ever made the required payment to North Bay; nor could he himself provide proof of payment. Nor could he specify what work was performed by North Bay to satisfy the credit due to Petaluma.
Normally, a developer working for the city is required to provide, before being paid, a "certified payroll" and other documentation that details the progress of each week's work, including payments to laborers and subcontractors. Danly said that neither the city nor Basin Street can locate a certified payroll identifiable as work performed for the $454,481 in question. Nor can city officials find invoices attesting that the additional North Bay work was ever performed. Danly could not locate the required copy of a canceled check, nor a transmittal letter confirming payment to North Bay of the credited amount.[see .pdf] Danly said the city's accounting books "appear to confirm said payment was made" but he offered no proof that it was made.
When the Bohemian requested copies of Basin Street and North Bay construction invoices from the city, Danly replied, "Staff conducted a diligent search but was unable to locate the actual invoices." find. We have offered to make these records available should the city wish to revisit the Theatre District fiasco and recover funds from Basin Street Properties and North Bay Construction. (Danly, who negotiated the project agreements, and was paid $89,000 from the Theatre District budget, says he will accept the disks.)
The final audit reconciliation for the Theatre District project records $704,000 in "Developer Contributions." This includes the aforementioned check from Basin Street for $250,000, and $454,000 that is variously coded in the city's accounting system as "in-kind" and "donation."
[see .pdf] Unlike other line items in these financial records, the nature of the "donation" is not explained. In fact, it repeatedly moves in and out of the city's.

On the Budgets/contracts screen (original), all the budgets/contracts are showing as fully invoiced whether they have been fully invoiced or not.
Occasionaly, right after I enter a time tracking event a budget will show as not fully invoiced, but as soon as I select another budget it goes back to fully invoiced.
I'm not sure if it is because of this, but I am not able to invoice any of the budgets either.
Matt, I have not been able to replicate this yet. Let me do some more testing before I get back to you.
Hey Val,
Having the QB account open and synced seems to be a part of the issue.
I had a few that were not showing as fully invoiced until I opened QB, then they were.
I just closed QB and created a new budget and now it is not showing as fully invoiced, though the others still are.
Hope that helps you duplicate the issue.
Val,
Have you had any luck duplicating this issue? If not I'd be happy to let you remotely log in so I can show you what is going on. I have customers eargly awaiting their invoice from me... ok, maybe they don't mind if I don't invoice them, but I would kinda like to get paid
Hi Matt and Val,
I can see the issue Matt describes on newly created hourly and hourly not to exceed budgets, they both show as fully invoiced right after creation. I notice the Ordered Quantity on the resulting sales order is zero, NOT the number of hours entered into Budgeted Qty on the Add/Edit Budget Details screen. Also, looking at the sales order in QB, it is stamped "Invoiced in Full" and the line is checked as closed.
I believe this is why Fully Invoiced? shows as Yes on these Budget/Contracts, and if the charge type is changed to Fixed, Fully Invoiced? changes to NO.
I would think that the budgeted amount would be the sales order quantity, then actual hours billed reduce that quantity to zero.
Just my 2 cents on the subject, looking forward to your feedback.
Regards,Michael
Hi Matt and Michael,
I’m able to duplicate this and have an idea why it could be happening. Give me some time to look into this. Thanks guys.
Matt and Michael,
When you create a Budget/Contract for Hourly or Hour Not to Exceed the charge quantity (Ordered column in QB) starts off with a value of zero. This explains the Full Invoiced and you can test the same directly in QB.
Fully Invoiced is removed when adding approved, billable time and re-saving the Budget/Contract. This is built-in when converting to invoice. Keep in mind that if the sync engine is running changes only or full sync at the same moment, your Budget / Contract save will be at the end of the current queue and may not immediately receive the updates back from QB.
Thanks for the update, it sounds like the key here is that QB needs to be open and the sync engine running for Pro Services to perform as expected. Is that an accurate evaluation?
Matt – yes, that is accurate. It can still function but when you get to invoicing QB really needs to be up and running for Pro Services.

Tattoo or Not To
and Other Piercing Questions
“Not if you want to live in this house!”
“But it’s my body!”
This dialog from Danielle Loftus’ memory reflects common adolescent-parent skirmishes over control. These days that tug-of-war has moved from clothes and hair to tattoos and body piercings.
Loftus, 22, resides in West Philly, works at a preschool and caters. She obtained a belly button ring at age 16. For her 18th birthday, this “straight-A kind of kid” got a tattoo on her lower back. It’s a star with wings, partly designed by a friend.
She likes tattoos because “I’m intrigued by them. It’s interesting to have stuff you want on yourself forever. They show style, personality. I don’t like plain, boring.”
A Cultural Norm
A glossy catalog from Macy’s this March featured a male model, a large tattoo across his upper chest and shoulder, in three different scenes. Up to 35 percent of American youth aged 11-25 have “body art,” according to several scientific studies cited by Lisa Tuchman, MD, a pediatrician specializing in adolescent medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
“It’s such a cultural norm,” she says, referring to thousands of years of history in which many cultures have engaged in tattooing and body piercing. “You’d be surprised at who gets tattoos,” notes Terry Manning, owner and chief tattoo artist of Wildcard Studios in Wilmington, DE. “Forty percent of my tattoos are for lawyers, doctors, even kindergarten teachers.”
On the other hand, as our grandmothers lectured, “Just because everybody else is doing something, doesn’t mean we should do it too!” Even Manning — who got his first tattoo at age 16 — doesn’t work on minors. Asked what he’d say to his own children if they wanted tattoos, he raises his voice, “No way! Not permanent stuff like that!”
What’s the Appeal?
“You have such a pretty face. Why do that?” Margit Myers’ grandmother challenged her desire since the age of 15 for a septum ring. Myers patiently waited until she was 18, when she could get the piercing legally without permission. At 25, Myers coordinates education programs for Pennsylvania Service-Learning Alliance in Philadelphia and says when she’s 65, she’ll still love her dainty silver ring and enjoy showing it off to her grandchildren. “It’s fun. It’s a form of decoration, like clothes and other jewelry.” Myers says she has a retainer to hide the ring when circumstances warrant.
Dave Miller, 24, is an Arizona State University graduate living in Philadelphia, working for an events booking company. He, like his friend Loftus, is “straight edge,” meaning they abstain from drugs, alcohol and tobacco. He designed some of his tattoos himself as playful reminders of that personal commitment.
An employee of Philadelphia Eddie’s 621, Nick Sloan recalls getting his first tattoo six days after his grandfather passed away. “I was 17, so my parents had to sign for me in Delaware County. I picked a funny old German cartoon, and they agreed that was a great way to remember him.”
Parent-Kid Dialogue
Body art is usually just a social or cosmetic statement, Tuchman notes. Parents should “Keep open lines of communication, and start the dialogue with kids early: who they are, who they’re becoming, what they believe in. Explore why they want what they want, and what meaning it has for them. Get a better understanding of them and their motivations. ”
Young people go through different developmental stages, with different abilities to plan and think abstractly about consequences, Tuchman emphasizes. Middle adolescent years carry particular risks of impulsivity, self-identity and group pressures.
Tuchman says to “recognize and support teens’ enthusiasm to express social views” but to also suggest other ways they can express their perspective and find their place in the world. These can include forms of expression with few permanent consequences, such as attending a rally, writing a letter to Congress or involvement in community activities.
Myers believes that females with tattoos risk being stereotyped as looser, tougher and spunkier than their non-tattooed counterparts. She senses that older generations associate body art with “hooligans and rowdiness.”
The Downside
Among serious health concerns raised by experts are blood-borne diseases such as HIV and hepatitis caused by unsanitary needles, and the possibility of infection developing at the wound. A small number of young adults are drawn to body piercings and tattoos because of what some repeat customers call “pain addiction.”
Philadelphia Eddie’s co-owner Troy Timpel says artists should be clean, gloved, have appropriate sterilizing and waste disposal procedures, avoid cross-contamination, and rely on single-use, sterile equipment packages that they open in front of the client.
Tattoo dyes are not approved by the FDA for injection into the skin, and many contain metals such as aluminum and mercury. Timpel refers families to safety guidelines published by the Alliance of Professional Tattooists. He also recommends looking carefully at the artist’s portfolio before making any decision.
He cautions clients about the placement of tattoos as well. “I suggest younger people stay away from their hand and necks — any place they can’t cover up, that might have an effect on their future career possibilities.”
One young woman interviewed for this article says she regrets a tattoo on her upper arm because it shows when she dresses for formal occasions and when she wears sundresses. Experts also steer clients against tattooing the name of a girl- or boyfriend or a favorite band. Think: permanent.
Serious tattoos can require serious financial investments as well. Manning charges about $150 per hour, and one tattoo can require five lengthy appointments in one month. Sloan says a quality leg tattoo could cost $7,000. He warns, “Don’t rush into it. Don’t get it done at somebody’s house. It’s like buying a car, or a shirt you can’t take off. Make sure you know what you’re doing.”

The red light shines in back of me
And I'm tired of satans company
And it's bed time for the troubled sea
That's been raging and pouring out of me
Well, I found them beneath the marble stairs An they asked me if anyone who cares Would join them for lunch with brandied pears Bring Tracy we have her missing tears Chasing Tracy is all I do Tracy's rotten
All the way through captain killjoy Said that it was true two lovers lost And searching for sat naked on the casino floor Be brave boy show your broken wings but don't Listen it hurts when Tracy sings
Chasing Tracy is all I do Tracy's rotten All the way through captain killjoy Said that it was true don't know what to do Well I waited beneath the giving tree
And wondered if it would set me free rest Gentle beneath the emerald sea theres Tracy Cool hands of mercury chasing Tracy is all I do Tracy's rotten all the way Through captain killjoy said that it was True don't know what to do

MPC is pleased to announce our appointment to the special advisory group to study the feasibility of 220-mph passenger rail service between Chicago, Urbana-Champaign and beyond. This study will accompany ongoing construction of a 110-mph high speed rail network connecting Chicago to 40+ cities throughout the Midwest.High speed rail advocates have maintained that trains must move at 220-mph in order to be dubbed “high speed” rail. The 110-mph rail network between Chicago and St. Louis currently being constructed would be an economic boon for Chicago, bringing in 80,000 new tourists and an estimated $630 million increase in tourism-related spending within 10 years. 110-mph high speed rail would provide a comparable alternative for travelers looking to avoid costly fill-ups at the gas pump. 220-mph high speed rail would get you there in half the time, but is it worth it? Which routes should be 220, 110 or more traditional 79 mph regional rail? These are the questions we’ll be asking on the advisory group..” Governor Quinn announced this initiative on June 2nd.The special advisory group will partner with the University of Illinois and the Illinois Department of Transportation to determine the potential costs and benefits of establishing 220-mph service between O’Hare International Airport, downtown Chicago, McCormick Place, and Champaign-Urbana. The study will also consider extending the corridor to cities south of Champaign-Urbana, including St. Louis and Indianapolis. In addition to offering corridor location recommendations, the study will offer estimated ridership projections, economic impacts, construction costs and financing options.The study, funded by a $1.25 million contribution from the Illinois Jobs Now! capital program, is expected to be completed in late 2012.The members of the special advisory group include:State Senator Martin Sandoval (D-Chicago)State Representative Elaine Nekritz (D-Northbrook) Rick Harnish, Midwest High Speed Rail AssociationKevin Brubaker, Environmental Law & Policy CenterJoan Murphy, Cook County Commissioner (6th)Bob Guy, United Transportation UnionJ.D.

In the past, certified EQ-i practitioners looking to add emotional intelligence to their coaching repertoire sometimes spent hundreds of billable hours developing sales materials, making the case for emotional intelligence training, and inventing successful coaching exercises. Now, thanks to Dr. Ackley's experience, creating a complete, customized coaching program is just a click away. This model program for EQ skill development provides a step-by-step approach to integrating the fifteen factors of emotional intelligence with executive coaching. It provides comprehensive tools for:
The EQ Leader Program comes with a CD that provides checklists, outlines, PowerPoint slides, handouts, and more, all in a format that can be edited to fit your style and approach. The 330-page manual and accompanying media contain:
Consultants using the program will improve their client's bottom line and add value to the organization through reliable methods for talent development, aligning leadership skills with company targets, and developing methods to improve marginal performers. This versatile program has been used by coaches around the world. Client organizations include Fortune 500 companies, major U.S. government agencies, healthcare systems, law enforcement, professional practices, and individual executive coaching clients.
“The EQ Leader package is the best value-adding component you can add to your consulting and training repertoire. Emotional intelligence is one of the single biggest contributors to leadership success (or the lack thereof), and the combination of the EQ-i instrument and the EQ Leader Program is by far the best set of tools for the consultant/trainer to use helping coach others to develop their EQ. The combination of robust psychometrics and thoughtful consultation is simply without peer.”
Marc T. Frankel, Ph.D. Triangle Associates “I read Dana Ackley’s The EQ Leader Program cover to cover and have found it a rich resource of extremely practical material on emotional intelligence development for coaching, training, and consulting. One of the most helpful resources included in the manual are the ‘Strategies for Building EQ’ exercise handouts. My executive coaching clients love the brief explanation of the EQ competency that they have chosen to develop, and the clearly explained exercises that they can easily incorporate into an action plan. I teach for the College of Executive Coaching and am a member of numerous professional associations. If I were asked by my colleagues for one EQ resource, Dr. Ackley’s EQ Leader Program would be my highest recommendation.”
Maynard Brusman, Ph.D. Consulting Psychologist and Executive Coach Founder, Working Resources
“The comprehensive nature of the CD and toolkit is very helpful for putting together presentations and handout packets with less effort on my part to create from scratch. Rather, I can focus on customization for clients.”

Mercer Island Council sends Tent City rules back for final changes
By ELIZABETH CELMS
Mercer Island Reporter Contributor
January 26, 2010 · Updated 2:18 PM
Last Tuesday’s City Council meeting was a long one.
At the top of the agenda: the much-disputed and long-awaited Temporary Encampment Ordinance, which dictates the legalities behind any temporary encampment — including Tent City 4, the roving homeless camp put on by the nonprofit organization SHARE/WHEEL which spent three months on Mercer Island in 2008 — planning to reside within city boundaries.
In addition to dozens of Island citizens, several residents of Tent City 4, currently being hosted by the First United Methodist Church in Bellevue, attended the packed Jan. 19 meeting.
Most of those who spoke were concerned with “overly restrictive” and “constitutionally questionable” stipulations in the ordinance, which was up for its first reading before Councilmembers. Such issues included: questions on warrant and sex offender checks by Mercer Island police; the requirement for all residents to provide government-issued identification; provisions on when residents may return to past sites in the Island; and the requirement that an application for residency must be submitted at least 90 days before moving in, among others.
“We have serious concerns with the ordinance,” said current Tent City 4 resident Bruce Thomas, citing the provision that “the city shall not grant a permit for a temporary encampment that is proposed to commence on a lot or lots within one-half mile of any lot(s) that contained a temporary encampment within the last 18 months.”
“You can’t do that,” Thomas said. “You can’t limit a church’s right to practice religion just because it’s close to another church.”
Citing the provision that “an application must be submitted at least 90 days prior to opening a temporary encampment,” Tent City 4 resident, who goes by the name Shy, argued that 90 days was an unreasonable amount of time.
“This seems a bit far in advance. It only takes 10 days to get the application done,” he said.
Others protested the fact that youth under age 18 are prohibited from spending the night at the site.
“Under extenuating circumstances, if mom or dad comes in with a child for shelter; we’d like to have them stay,” said Tent City 4 resident Jack Ackson.
Indeed, the Council felt that the residents’ concerns were legitimate. However, when developing the ordinance, city staff was asked to place a high priority on safety and security — reflecting Island residents’ main concern with the homeless camp.
“We feel that we’ve balanced [a church’s] constitutional right to freedom of expression with the public’s concern for safety,” said Adam Cooper, chair of the Tent City 4 planning commission. “Two large concerns were: one, Tent City resident identification. We agreed with public input that government-issued ID is not too onerous a form to conduct. The second concern is that [temporary encampments] could not return within 12 months to a site within one mile. We changed this to 18 months and a site within one-half of a mile so that churches next door to each other can host Tent City after one another.”
After hearing from Island residents — half of whom expressed support for Tent City 4, while the rest explained individual concerns regarding neighborhood disturbance and safety — and Tent City members, the City Council began thoroughly questioning the stipulations set forth in the draft ordinance.
“I was glad to hear someone bring the 90-day issue up. I think we can work with the number of days here,” said Councilmember Mike Grady. “And the random warrant and sex offender checks — this is a slippery slope that warrants more legal analysis. I’m not at all comfortable with that.”
Grady inquired about the requirement that “an applicant conduct an informal public meeting to inform citizens about a proposed temporary encampment.”
“Who facilitates this meeting and what role does the public have in this meeting?” He asked.
Councilmember Steve Litzow added to Grady’s comment.
“A very big issue with the last Tent City was that the public meetings were very chaotic, so I’d like more stringency on this,” he said.
After nearly three hours, Councilmembers voted to send the document back to city staff so that they may loosen several of the stipulations brought up during the Council meeting. Staff will return to the City Council with the edited draft ordinance on Feb. 1, when it will receive a second reading.
A full copy of the Temporary Encampments Ordinance can be downloaded from the City Council’s Jan. 19 agenda, available on the city Web site:. For a history of Tent City 4 on Mercer Island, visit the Reporter’s archive.

Appelman for City Council
October 6, 2009 · 1:56 PM
Ira Appelman stood out at the City Council debate last evening at Aljoya House because of his dedication to average Islanders’ interests. He has attended all Council meetings for 12 years! He noted that common people and their concerns were often neglected and major controversial decisions were made by the Council without offering Islandwide referenda, which Ira has repeatedly recommended. Ira’s opponent [Dan Grausz] confirmed this elitist attitude when he stated that a 7 to 0 vote by the Council showed widespread Island support. Ira then pointed out the 7 to 0 vote on relocating the firehouse to Mercerdale Park. There actually was a referendum and it showed massive opposition to ruining the park with the fire station, so the Council’s plan was scrapped.
Ira told of how he has, for years, given free help to Islanders who want something done by the Council. He has helped them to learn about Council procedures so they wouldn’t get brushed off. Do you feel that things we don’t want keep coming at us out of the blue? Things like butchering the Island Crest/Merrimount intersection and the city’s decision to put us all on a ‘road diet’ with $500,000 of unnecessary shrinking of Island Crest Way to two lanes and a turn lane? If so, Ira Appelman should get your vote for City Council.

THIRD BASE - MATT CARPENTER, ST. LOUIS: Carpenter played more than 20 games at first base, third base and the outfield last year, and now he's in the mix for major playing time at second base, too.
The versatility is a great quality for two reasons: He will give fantasy owners flexibility in their lineups, and he will earn more playing time with the Cardinals. If St. Louis has any injuries at first, second, third or the corner outfield, Carpenter could essentially become a regular.
Even without regular playing time, Carpenter should produce decent numbers. He drove in 46 runs in 296 at-bats last season.
OUTFIELD - JUAN PIERRE, MIAMI: Pierre isn't an exciting draft pick anymore. Now 35 years old, he's probably never going to steal 60-plus bases again. He's also never hit more than three home runs in a season.
Still, for the minimal investment it would likely require, Pierre would be a productive player to draft. In 394 at-bats with the Philadelphia Phillies last season, Pierre hit .307 with 37 steals. He's expected to lead off for the Marlins, so there's no reason to think the stolen base total will plummet. He's always been an asset to team batting averages.
If you draft Pierre, however, you'd better make sure you have plenty of RBIs from your other outfielders. He'll probably only be good for 30 or so.
OUTFIELD - CAMERON MAYBIN, SAN DIEGO: The one-time top prospect took a bit of a step back last season, hitting just .243 with eight home runs. He stole 26 bases, but that was a drop-off from the 40 he swiped in 2011.
Some of the luster has worn off, but keep in mind that Maybin is still just 25. Also keep in mind that he batted .283 in the second half of last season. Wrist and Achilles injuries limited him to 136 games (and probably sapped his power and speed, respectively).
The fences are moving in this year at Petco Park. Perhaps 15 homers and 40 steals would be attainable for the toolsy center fielder, and that would make him a major bargain.
OUTFIELD - WILL VENABLE, SAN DIEGO: OK, there are probably more Padres on this team than you'd like to have on your roster, but Venable, like Gyorko and Maybin, could deliver good bang for your buck.
After Venable belted 13 homers and stole 29 bases in just 392 at-bats in 2010, he was a popular pick to break out in 2011. It didn't really happen. Venable hit nine homers in both 2011 and '12, and stole 26 and 24 bases in those seasons, respectively.
Now at age 30, it's likely Venable simply is what he is going to be. The question is, is that so bad? He's averaged 10 homers and 26 steals during the past three years. With the Petco Park fences moving in, he might add a few long balls to that total this season.
STARTING PITCHER - MIKE MINOR, ATLANTA: On the surface, 11 wins and a 4.12 ERA look, well, average for a guy touted as a solid pitching prospect in an Atlanta organization known for producing them.
A look closer, though, shows that Minor began to break out last season. He pitched to a 2.21 ERA in the second half, holding hitters to a .193 batting average in his last 15 starts. For the season, his WHIP was a tidy 1.15, thanks to a microscopic 0.87 in the second half of the year.
Minor gives up too many homers (26 in 179 1/3 innings) and tends to run high pitch counts, but he's dramatically improving before our eyes. On a contending Atlanta team, the win total should grow, too.
RELIEF PITCHER - BOBBY PARNELL, N.Y. METS: If your draft is a few weeks away, Parnell might not remain a sleeper that long. Incumbent closer Frank Francisco was shut down at the starting of spring training because of elbow inflammation, and manager Terry Collins said he wanted Parnell to close in Francisco's absence.
Even when healthy, Francisco has not really been a stopper. He wasn't healthy last season, as an elbow injury contributed to his bloated 5.53 ERA and 1.61 WHIP.
The Mets added veteran relievers with closer experience this offseason, bringing aboard Brandon Lyon and LaTroy Hawkins. It's Parnell, however, who is the Mets' best closing option for both the present and future. Even if he doesn't get the gig, he'll still provide a solid ERA (2.49 in 2012), WHIP (1.24) and strikeout total (61 in 68 2/3 innings) as a setup man.
Jeff Saukaitis has been a professional sportswriter since 1985.

Al Jefferson led seven Utah players in double figures with 24 points as the Jazz downed the Golden State Warriors, 115-101, on Tuesday.
Gordon Hayward, who had missed the last 10 games with a sprained right shoulder, scored 17 points for the Jazz, who have won three straight games. Randy Foye dropped in 15 points, while Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors added 14 apiece.
Alec Burks scored 13 points and Marvin Williams added 11 in the triumph.
"We understood how tough this game was going to be. We came out today and established ourselves early. We were able to come out with a good win," Williams said.
Stephen Curry poured in a game-high 29 points on 12-for-22 shooting and Jarrett Jack added 19 points and nine assists off the bench for the Warriors, who have dropped six straight.
"They outworked us, and once again we were not sharp defensively." Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "We did not take care of the basketball. It was another uncharacteristic performance and we have to find ourselves."
The Jazz led 26-19 after the first 12 minutes and took a 58-53 lead into the halftime break.
The Warriors managed to cut the Utah lead to one following a Curry trey early in the third quarter, but the Warriors used a 15-4 flurry to go up 81-69 with 3 1/2 minutes left in the period.
A 6-1 Golden State sequence made it 82-75 in Utah's favor just 1 1/2 minutes later, and the Warriors went into the final stanza down 87-79.
Hayward canned a long two to give the Jazz an 11-point lead early in the fourth quarter, but Golden State was able to make it a six-point game moments later following Curry's trey.
It would be as close as the Warriors would get, however, as they were outscored by Utah by a 22-14 count the rest of the way.

you look at the kinds of crimes we had in the 1920s and 1930s during Prohibition, and during the early 1950s with the advent of drug activity, you'll find that none of this has changed," says Miami P®MDNM¯olice Chief Perry Anderson. "It's still territorial. The violence is often in the form of threats and intimidation, with the goal of economic control. These killings are basically gangland killings. The only real difference I see is that now you have a more reckless style of violence. And there's no honor at all any more - for example, family members of the victim are not spared. You have a killer now who is colder, more cruel.
"The reason? Let's say I'm selling drugs. You have to believe I'll kill you if you invade my area, or appear as a witness against me in court. I've got to let you know that no matter where you are, I can come up and blow you away in front of 50 people. And I will. Can you imagine the sort of impression I've left on that community? Most people think these killings are the result of somebody selling somebody bad drugs. Well, that's not the case. It's almost always because you've become too large and you need to be done away with. You're threatening somebody through economic competition.
"These things have so much depth to them. For example, a clean kid is threatening. A clean kid, athletic type, good build, good-looking kid - he probably would be naturally anti-crime. So maybe he gets involved with one of the bad guys' girlfriends. Technically, he's an innocent bystander, but just by virtue of being on the same street or in the same neighborhood with these guys, he's part of a dynamic. If he isn't seduced into their way of life, he risks paying a serious price.
"You've got to keep this on the front burner," Anderson adds, "or people will think the problem has gone away. It's not going to go away. It's clearly getting worse. And if we think it's going to remain just black-on-black homicide, we're fooling ourselves. It's going to keep spreading until it engulfs everybody. Sure, the vast majority of these killings are committed by blacks, but you don't know what other kinds of crimes these people are committing before they get around to murder. Even the psychological impact on the outside society is profound. When I'm in civilian clothes walking down the street, I can hear people in their cars locking their doors: click, click, click, click,
click."
Black men in America have historically been targets of violence. But in the 1980s, in a departure from decades of bloody tradition, direct physical violence came mainly from within the black community itself. Police Chief Anderson, a professional student of criminality, can describe the mechanics and motives of murder among young black men today, and trace some principal causes. But he and other successful, middle-age black men - despite having grown up in Dade's black ghettos - describe an eerie sense of isolation from an entire generation. A feeling of kinship is missing from their analysis of the problem. The ghetto and its youth have changed profoundly; the nuances of social context, the full flavor of a Zeitgeist inspired by spreading criminality is hard for them to grasp.
Opa-locka Mayor Robert Ingram, reaching into the past for something that will make the present comprehensible, likens today's youthful black killer to the archetypal "ghetto hustler" of the 1960s, described in the autobiography of activist Malcolm X. But the comparison between today's ghetto reality and that of three decades ago seems stale. The inability of the older generation to relate in intimate detail to the experience of the younger makes the flood of killings all the more unsettling to them. "There is so much more encouragement toward criminality in the black community than in the larger community," says Mayor Ingram, struggling to explain the new order at the street level. "As a consequence, this may well be the most dangerous, reckless, and lawless black generation in the history of the world."
Rap music - not literature, film, or newspaper accounts - has been the only medium to successfully communicate the emotional reality of a generation in danger. One of the most vivid portraits of the new black American drug subculture, and one of the most forceful condemnations of it, lies in the lyrics of Los Angeles rapper (and ex-con) Ice-T. The profane accuracy of those lyrics has proved unpalatable to radio stations across the nation. What's more, the very depth of descriptive and dramatic detail in the music makes the message easily mistakable for its opposite: a dark glorification of a violent, decade-old, money-based urban nihilism.
Part 2
Whatever they say about the seductive appeal of a fast and dangerous youth, Ice-T's dark chronicles offer a casebook description of the circumstances of young black death in Greater Miami and most other major American cities during the latter half of the 1980s. "Drama," written in 1988, describes the entire life cycle of an urban killer moving through the defining experiences of street life: prison release, the return to drug commerce, armed revenge, feudal camaraderie, burglary, arrest, interrogation, arrogance, betrayal, jail, repentance, death:

After a 2003 New York Times article criticized Bill Clinton for not showing his face enough in the neighborhood around his Harlem office, Jamaica-born, New York-bred artist Dave McKenzie donned a suit, tie, and Clinton mask and paraded along 125th Street while blasting Louis Armstrongs rendition of We Shall Overcome from a stereo. The piece was typical McKenzie: smart, timely, and focused on engaging the public. And thats why at the tender age of 31, he has made a name for himself as a conceptual artist to be reckoned with.
Want to hang out with him? Well, this Saturday you can. In fact, you might even be able to have dinner with the guy. Heres what you do: Go to the Museum of Contemporary Art at 2 p.m. for McKenzies lecture (free with five-dollar museum admission) and drop your name into the clear plastic box inside the Convention exhibit. At the end of the lecture, McKenzie will pick one name out of the box, and later that evening, hell take the winner out for a one-on-one dinner.

Detroit mayor reject's Bloomberg's immigrant idea
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing today flatly rejected the idea put forward by New York’s mayor that immigrants could be the key to reversing Detroit’s population loss.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg made the suggestion during an appearance on “Meet the Press” earlier this month, saying the U.S. became a superpower because of its immigrant population. But Bing ridiculed the idea during an event with the “Big Four” metro Detroit political leaders.
"I don’t know what he was on," Bing said to laughter from the audience at Birmingham's Townsend Hotel. "We can’t provide jobs for the folks that are here."
Bing went on to say that he’s not opposed to immigrants coming to the city. But he says people won’t start returning to Detroit until the city fixes the problems that have forced so many to flee it.
Bing also said city residents need to face its shortcomings.
“We are still in denial about our problems,” he said. “People in Detroit would rather fight than fix."

Lansing city leaders concerned about apparent problems with Ingham County's 911 system.
“First responders have to have a system that they can rely on,” says Carol Wood, who chairs the Lansing city council’s public safety committee. She adds, “Taxpayers, that are making those payments, need to know that system is working.”
A task force is expected to make recommendations for fixing the system by the end of the month.

Accelerated company growth fueled by two major acquisitions in recent years had more than tripled West Pharmaceutical Services revenues—from U.S.$400 million to $1.3 billion. This rapid expansion created a vital need for IT to deploy technologies to help sales and customer support maintain a consistent customer focus. Adding to the challenge, the company needed to accommodate personnel in 50 offices across six continents.
Accelerating Sales Cycles While Adding Insight Into Customer Activity
VP of Global Information Technology, Beverly Prohaska, also found herself facing the challenge of finding a solution that would allow the company to synchronize sales processes across the globe. “Each of our two major divisions as well as each country has its own unique needs for managing the sales cycle and customer service,” Prohaska says.
Other key capabilities Prohaska sought in the CRM solution included the ability to accelerate the velocity of sales cycles and provide greater insight into sales data to improve forecasting accuracy. “Part of the reason these capabilities proved challenging is that we use three ERP systems,” Prohaska explains. “Compiling sales data thus required a lot of manual work. We needed to automate the process for accessing information.”
Deploying Global CRM Capabilities While Conforming to Local Needs
West has long deployed a platform strategy based on a combination of Microsoft and SAP technologies. In researching possible CRM solutions, Prohaska considered Microsoft Dynamics CRM as well as SAP CRM and SalesForce.com: “We chose Microsoft Dynamics CRM because it fits our platform strategy and enables us to configure the software to meet business needs. Even though we need consistent sales processes across the company, there are still unique requirements for business units and countries. Microsoft Dynamics CRM gives us this flexibility.”
Prohaska adds that many CRM solutions have rigid tools requiring customers to change business processes. But Microsoft Dynamics CRM sets itself apart by offering a blend of easy-to-use, intuitive software with configuration flexibility that minimizes customization to meet business needs of individual geographies.
In comparing costs, Prohaska focused on long-term TCO more than upfront costs. Another key consideration was the requirement to run the CRM solution within a virtual private cloud via a third-party data center. Microsoft Dynamics CRM best met the requirements on both counts.
Customer Activity Now Visible Across All Departments
For the deployment of Microsoft Dynamics CRM, West collaborated with Microsoft partner, SBS South Florida and Caribbean. “The solution is intuitive enough that we can fully operate the system with internal IT resources now that we completed the deployment with the help of SBS South Florida and Caribbean,” Prohaska says.
The Microsoft Dynamics CRM solution assists nearly 400 employees providing services to customers including sales and management as well as quality, regulatory, and R&D employees who track customer issues and product discrepancy reports. “It’s important to offer transparent visibility across all departments that interact with customers,” Prohaska emphasizes.
Major Impact on Customer Successes
For Prohaska and the West IT department, the solution represents one of their most significant accomplishments in recent years. “Microsoft Dynamics CRM has the potential to truly globalize our business and have a greater impact on our customer successes than most IT projects,” she says. “The technology supports our strategy of placing customers first and enables us to provide services as a united company, since everyone has access to all customer information.”
Prohaska also stresses the confidence senior leadership has in partnering with Microsoft. “Microsoft has made a strong commitment to Microsoft Dynamics CRM by issuing new releases every six months. This makes us feel good about the investment. We also benefit from the seamless integration with Microsoft Outlook. This makes it much easier for our employees as they spend a fair amount of their day in Microsoft Outlook where they can also interact with Microsoft Dynamics CRM.”

BALRAM Chainrai has withdrawn his bid to take over Pompey.
Mr Chainrai was set to take over for a third time at Fratton Park and had been in negotiations with administrator Trevor Birch.
But he told The News this week discussions had hit a brick wall in a dispute over administrators fees.
This morning, Mr Chainrai announced his firm Portpin will be pulling out of buying the club.
Chainrai released a statement which read: ‘Portpin Ltd regrets to announce that it is withdrawing its bid for Portsmouth Football Club.
‘Unfortunately, our efforts to save the club once more from extinction have hit a wall of rejection and lacking co-operation from the administrator and other interested parties.
‘Unfortunately, our efforts to save the club once more from extinction have hit a wall of rejection and lacking co-operation from the administrator and other interested parties.”
‘We are not the ones who have caused the club to collapse and we are not the ones to choose PKF as administrators .
‘As history has recorded, we sold the club over a year ago after saving it from liquidation and unfortunately found ourselves again fighting to try and save the club from another liquidation.
‘Through this administration process over the last six months we have always had the club’s best interest in mind - unlike many parties who were involved in the process.
‘We repeatedly encouraged the administrator to find a new, willing and able buyer to take over the club - unfortunately he was unsuccessful in this job and couldn’t find a buyer despite his promises!!
‘Later he approached us to be his safety net to save the club as he couldn’t find a buyer. We agreed in the effort to avoid liquidation of the club.
‘.
‘.
‘We welcome and will assist anyone, including the supporters trust to try and save the club in the coming days.’

, a global leader in packaging and packaging solutions, has been featured in the Carbon Disclosure Project’s (CDP), Carbon Disclosure Leadership Index for 2012. This index highlights companies scoring in the top ten percent of the S&P 500 based on commitment to climate change disclosures and understanding of the impact of climate change-related issues. MWV scored 93 out of 100, one of only 5 companies in the materials sector to score this high and the only company in the containers and packaging category to earn a place on the index.

Midwest Living Review
Many believe this is one of the best pizza places in Chicago, and for beer aficionados, Piece's dedication to full-flavored brews makes it a must-do when you're in the city.
Bucktown is one of those colorful, hip Chicago neighborhoods that's home to lots of eccentric boutique stores and restaurants that seem to change with the weather. One of the places that never seems to change, however, is popular mainstay Piece Brewery and Pizzeria, which opened in 2001. For a pizzeria-brewpub to make it that long in this pizza-crazy town is a testament to their quality fare, which is unique, delicious and worth seeking out. In some circles, it's believed Piece may be among the best pizzerias in the city.

Good stuff. Need to check on viability of enlarging and framing!.
The purpose of infographics is to take data that is initially tough to interpret and distill it into some high-level knowledge that readers can remember and take away with them. Upon picking up a six-pack of Cottonelle last night though, I think I found the most useless infographic ever:
Yes indeed. It’s a visual reminder that:
That’s good times. And there’s even a 1-800 number you can call for further details as well as a website where perhaps you can plug in different values and see how many single rolls a quintuple roll would equal.
If I were the makers of Cottonelle, I’d probably use this space to showcase and romanticize the process by which they get Aloe into the toilet paper. I’ve always wondered about it.
For much better examples of infographics, check out a great book Rex showed me: Understanding USA.
I need to start doing this competitively again..

Tonight the Denver Cutthroats kick off their inaugural season with the first regular season game of 2012-2013.
The Fish, as they're affectionately called, will be facing the Missouri Mavericks in their home opener. Governor John Hickenlooper will be on hand to drop the ceremonial first puck at 7:05 pm MST. The Cutthroats will play all 33 of their home games this season in the historic Denver Coliseum, which celebrated its 60th anniversary earlier this year. Also on hand will be the team's mascot, Gill.
Team History
In April 2012, the Central Hockey League announced that Denver, Colorado, had been awarded a new expansion franchise set to take the ice for the 2012-2013 season. The Denver Cutthroats entered into an affiliation agreement with the National Hockey League’s Colorado Avalanche in July 2012. Under the agreement, the Cutthroats become an additional resource for player personnel and development needs for the Avalanche and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters. Avalanche players and prospects can be assigned to the Cutthroats throughout the 2012-13 season for developmental purposes. The Avalanche also have the option of promoting Cutthroats players to their NHL and AHL clubs. The team's name comes from Colorado's state fish, the Greenback Cutthroat Trout.
Front Office
John A. Hayes: Owner
Hayes, who is president and CEO of the Broomfield-based Ball Corporation, is leading the investment group which owns the new franchise.
Brad Lund: Governor
Lund, 46, brings more than 20 years of experience in the CHL to the Denver area. From 1992-2008, he served as the lead executive of the Oklahoma City Blazers. During his tenure, the Blazers were at the forefront of the minor-league hockey landscape leading the CHL in attendance all 16 years, averaging 9,123 fans per game – which led all of minor league hockey. He’s been named the CHL’s Executive of the Year on three occasions, and played a key role in the startup of the CHL’s Missouri Mavericks – who’ve been among the league leaders in attendance over their three-year existence.
Eric Newendorp: General Manager
The Moore, Oklahoma native is no stranger to minor-leauge hockey, having spent 10 years with the CHL's Oklahoma City Blazers before joining the ECHL's Colorado Eagles in 2003 to help launch the franchise for it's inaugural season. At the time of their launch the Eagles were a CHL member club. Both the Blazers and the Eagles reached impressive attendance goals as Oklahoma City consistently ranked among the top minor-league hockey franchises in average attendance, while the Eagles began what's turned into a minor-pro record for consecutive sellouts.
Brent Cullaton: Assistant General Manager and Director of Hockey Operations
The 37-year-old Cullaton (KUHL-uh-ton) has spent the past three seasons as general manager and head coach of the WSHL’s Boulder Jr. Bisons. In his time leading the Tier-III junior program, he compiled a career record of 114-40-8 and an appearance in the 2010 Thorne Cup Finals. He’s familiar with the CHL having played eight years in the league, appearing in 275 games. From 2003-06, he appeared in three consecutive President’s Cup Finals for the Laredo Bucks – winning two championships. The Petawawa, Ontario native enjoyed his best season statistically in 2007-08, when he tallied 92 points in 57 games as captain of the CHL’s Rocky Mountain Rage in Broomfield, Colorado.
Behind the Bench
Derek Armstrong: Head Coach
Armstrong, 38, returns to the Denver area where he skated for the International Hockey League’s Denver Grizzlies and won a championship during their 1994-95 campaign. After being drafted by the National Hockey League’s New York Islanders in 1992, the Ottawa, Ontario native appeared in 477 NHL games over a 14-year career with the Islanders, Ottawa Senators, New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, and St. Louis Blues. In his lone season with the Grizzlies, he recorded 13 goals and 18 assists in 59 games.

Usually bloggers, especially cooks, document their successes. But I need to get this big blooper off my conscience. Tuna casserole. Not the old-fashioned, classic back-of-the-can recipe that some Moms were famous for. Something else. An experiment, a riff on the original, gone wrong. Not as bad as Frankenstein’s monster, although that might be debatable.
I’ll blame my grandmother. She considered anything that she didn’t can herself an atrocity – with the exception of Pastene peeled whole tomatoes, chickpeas, cannelini beans, or dark tuna in oil. (My mother followed her example.) The thought process followed, that tuna casserole a recipe containing at least 2 canned ingredients, should be declared illegal. I, on the other hand, thought the recipe indescribably exotic. My friends’ mothers took pity on me and invited me for weeknight suppers.
Well, last week, channeling my grandmother, I tried to make a tuna casserole that she would have approved. I cooked up a batch of pasta, added canned dark tuna packed in oil. Then spied a can of artichoke hearts and added them and some tomatoes. While the casserole baked in the oven, I poured a glass of wine and thought about how delicious this would be.
One bite proved me wrong! The artichokes had turned a curious color of purple. The tuna dried out. It was a disaster on all counts. Deep in my soul I knew that artichoke and tomato don’t mix, and that there was no binding agent. Deep in my soul, I could hear my grandmother laughing.
Lesson learned: some things are lost in translation.
My experiments are not over. I plan to try a fresher version of the classic by making my roux, using fresh mushrooms. Entirely unsure of the tuna. Will keep you posted.
CLASSIC TUNA NOODLE CASSEROLE (Makes 4 servings)
Note: You don’t need to cook the frozen peas..

Saigon, S
t, I'm still only in Saigon... Everyday I think I am going to wake up back in the Jungle. After my first tour it was worse. I hardly said a word to my wife till I said yes to a divorce. When I was here I wanted to be there when I was there all I could think of was getting back on the the jungle. Been here a week now, waiting. Waiting for a mission, and when it was over I never want another.

Welcome to your primary source for scientific farming
WestfaliaSurge presents the DeMax 80, the first in a series of completely new milking control devices with integrated pulsation and stimulation. It provides much more comfort in use and allows space saving at the milking place by its innovative integrated cluster removal system. The DeMax 80 is uniquely positioned at a slight angle from the vertical. By this new and unique arrangement the cluster will be removed more gently and gives the milker more space to work and a better overview of the milking process. A large start-stop button and signal lights also make operation and monitoring easier and much more convenient. After the take-off the cluster will be in a most comfortable position for the next milking procedure.
DeMax 80 offers flexible, programmable control of milking, which can be either milk flow or time-controlled. Cluster removal can be delayed to suit the individual demand of the cows. Parameters are individually set and conveniently documented from a laptop when the system is put into operation. Modifications and online diagnosis for maintenance purposes can be carried out at any time during operation.
DeMax 80 also has integrated automatic stimulation. Big diameters of the ducts of the VisoFlow milk flow sensor make it easy to clean and ensure a consistent vacuum. The new Kick-Off sensor can be installed as an option.
Large red signal lights are visible from anywhere in the pit, allowing constant monitoring of the milking process. Optionally, DeMax can also operate the entry/exit gates and the fast exit front gates. The control of the indexing function is a further option.
Less work when starting and finishing milking
One press of a button is sufficient to move all the clusters into milking position. If the EasyStart option is installed, milking starts automatically when the cluster is lifted - no need even to press a button. After milking, DeMax makes it just as easy to move the cluster to the rinsing position with one touch of a button. And what is really special: no need to wait for the last cow in the group, the vacuum can be switched off on each individual unit to allow the clusters to be positioned for the rinsing phase.
All the electronic components are well protected from wet and dirt in the upper part of the DeMax unit, which is the successor to the ACR series, of which over 100,000 have been sold. The housing is carefully designed to minimize noise during milking also.
Other technical information:
Removal threshold value can be adjusted in 50 g increments
(from 100 – 1000 g/min)
Pulse frequency adjustable from 30-200 pulses /min
Pulse ratio adjustable in 1 % increments
