Rolling Stone has revealed its annual tally of the 50 Best Albums of 2013 , and Paul McCartney gets some big love on the list. McCartney's New comes in at No. 4 on the roster, with the magazine giving the singer and guitarist props for some "remarkably Beatlesque pop tunes and George Martin-ish arrangements."
Another classic rocker, John Fogerty, clocks it at No. 10 with his latest release, Wrote a Song for Everyone, which offers new versions of classic Fogerty songs recorded with a handful of guest artists.
The rest of Rolling Stone's Top 10 is heavy on alternative, including Arctic Monkeys' AM (No. 9), the National's Trouble Will Find Me (No. 8), Lorde's Pure Heroine (No. 7), Queens of the Stone Age's …Like Clockwork (No. 6), Arcade Fire's Reflektor (No. 5), Daft Punk's Random Access Memories (No. 3), Kanye West's Yeezus (No. 2), and Vampire Weekend's Modern Vampires of the City (No. 1).
Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt landed at No. 40 on the list.
What do you think is the top album of 2013? Give us your pick in the comments section below!
In an interview with comedian and That Metal Show co-host Jim Florentine on Ozzy's Boneyard,
Roth said he was up at Edward Van Halen's house earlier that week and the band had started to put new music together. "It's gonna be about 18 months," Roth said, explaining that in Van Halen World the band keeps a tight control on everything they do, refusing to outsource things like graphic design and merchandise design. "If you buy a t-shirt, that was designed, literally, in my living room," Dave said, before further elaborating on the '87 phone calls' that are required before anything gets to the level the band is happy with.
Dave then circled back to the question of new music: "Oh, yeah, we're writing... I write lyrics routinely. It's a perishable skill. And the band plays together routinely, at least three times a week. They're up at Ed's place, routinely."

Artist Martin Sharp, who designed the covers for Cream's Disraeli Gears and Wheels of Fire albums and helped to define the iconography of psychedelic rock, has died aged 71.
Sharp began his career in the 1960s as a contributor and art director for Oz, a revolutionary satirical magazine run by Richard Neville. He designed album covers and concert posters for the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Donovan and Bob Dylan, and co-wrote the lyrics to Cream's "Tales Of Brave Ulysses."
''He was a fully-charged non-stop rocket in his younger years but it always continued on,'' Neville said, adding that Sharp was "an outsider but also an insider ... At core he was an artist beyond repute in my opinion, but not an artist necessarily certified by the academy."
Sharp died of emphysema at his Bellevue Hill home and art studio in New South Wales, Australia on Sunday.
Rush Guitarist Alex Lifeson has told The Dallas Morning News how he loves the Canadian band's fans. And he likes that they're not "cool," just like Rush.
"There's definitely a strong relationship between us and our audience," Lifeson said. "And I think it's partly because we've never been the cool thing. We've never been the trendy thing. We've just been hard-working and done what we believed in. We wrote the music we wanted to write. We didn't try to write pop hits. … Maybe there's a cultish quality about who we are."
That said, Lifeson admits that recent projects have heightened Rush's profile. "It changed a bit in the last four, five years — since [the 2009 movie] I Love You, Man and the Beyond the Lighted Stage documentary. We have a new audience. We're getting more press than we used to. The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing. It's one thing after another.
"We've been around for so long, people who grew up listening to us are adults with jobs and families, and they've always been along for the ride — like the Grateful Dead, I suppose. They were connected to their fans without airplay… Maybe that's what connects us to the fans. They feel like they can sit down with the guys in Rush and have a beer and it'd be no big thing."

Black Sabbath is currently touring in the wake of their successful album 13, the first Sabbath disc to feature Ozzy Osbourne in 35 years. The album has topped charts all over the world, including a top spot on the US Billboard 200 chart - a first for the band.
Although he's previously spoken favorably about recording with his old band mates once again, Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has now taken a more cautious stance in regards to entering the studio. "I don't know if that would be an anticlimax if we wrote another album," Said Iommi in an interview with Revolver (via Blabbermouth). "I'd like to, but we haven't actually spoken about it, you know? I don't know if that would be a good idea after this one, because this one's done so well. I'm sure we'd all like to do one. But I don't know. Maybe I should talk to the others about it."
Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler echoed Iommi's sentiment: "I really haven't thought about it. I'm just glad that we made this one. It can't be something where you go in and go, 'Well, that one was No. 1, so let's do another No. 1 album.' I think we'll know if we can do it or if we can't. If we have to force it, then we won't be doing it."
Ozzy is open to doing another Sabbath album in the future, but also points out that he is under contract to deliver three more solo albums. "I don't want to say there's going to be another [Sabbath] album, because I don't want you to ask me in another year, 'What happened when you said you were going to do another record?'"
The Beatles, U2 and Bob Dylan are just a few of the many musicians who have given tracks to a new compilation that will raise funds to assist those impacted by this month's Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
The release, called Songs for the Philippines, features 39 tracks cuts. Among the songs are two Beatles tunes, "Across the Universe" and "Let It Be"; U2's "In a Little While"; and Dylan's "Shelter from the Storm."
Other artists and bands who have donated songs includes Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, Justin Bieber, One Direction and more.
All funds raised from sales of the collection will be donated to the Red Cross to help the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan.
Songs for the Philippines Track List:
"Across the Universe (2009 Remaster)" -- The Beatles "Shelter from the Storm" -- Bob Dylan "Have I Told You Lately That I Love You" -- Michael Bublé "In a Little While" -- U2 "Count on Me" -- Bruno Mars "I Was Here" -- Beyoncé "Stan (Live at Radio 1)" -- Eminem "Sirens" -- Cher "Make You Feel My Love" -- Adele "Unconditionally (Johnson Somerset Remix)" -- Katy Perry "Best Song Ever" -- One Direction "Carry On" -- fun. "Born This Way (The Country Road Version)" -- Lady Gaga "Mirrors" -- Justin Timberlake "I Would" -- Justin Bieber "New Day" -- Alicia Keys "30 Lives (Original Demo Version)" -- Imagine Dragons "Like a Prayer" -- Madonna "Sober" -- Pink "I Believe in You" -- Kylie Minogue "Hero" -- Enrique Iglesias "Factory of Faith" -- Red Hot Chili Peppers "Roads Untraveled" -- Linkin Park "Use Somebody" -- Kings of Leon "Explorers" -- Muse "The Love Club" -- Lorde "Brave" -- Josh Groban "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" -- Kelly Clarkson "Simple Things" -- Paolo Nutini "I Know You Care" -- Ellie Goulding "Carry You Home" -- James Blunt "Feel This Moment" -- Pitbull (featuring Christina Aguilera) "Sign On" -- Earth, Wind & Fire (featuring Daniel McClain) "Going Out (Radio Mix)" -- apl.de.ap (featuring Damien Leroy) "Brave" -- Sara Bareilles "Lead Me Home" -- Jessica Sanchez "Smile" -- Lily Allen "Love Don't Die" -- The Fray "Let It Be" -- The Beatles
Today also marks the 20th anniversary of the passing of the great Frank Zappa. Just remember not to eat the yellow snow, while checking out this list of his Top 10 Albums. Also, could this long rumored Faces reunion actually happen? It looks like Rod Stewart has penciled in "Faces somethingorother" all over his 2015 calendar. Well, when Jeff Beck won't call you might as well go to the other thing.
As reported by Billboard, the song's return to the chart was triggered by a surge in the number of times it's being streamed online. The streaming is mostly attributable to user-generated clips spurred by renewed interest in a video, originally posted in 2009, of Boston Celtics fan Jeremy Fry dancing to the song during stoppage of play at Boston's TD Garden. Fry's dance routine was freshly uploaded to Utrend.tv on October 17, and has since drawn 11 million worldwide views and garnered more than 1.6 million Facebook "shares." Bon Jovi last appeared on the Hot 100 chart in 2009, when "We Weren't Born to Follow," from the band's album The Circle , reached Number 68.
Robinson apparently chose the label in part because of his high regard for The End founder Andreas Katsambas. "[Katsambas] is a long time music fan and has some very forward ideas on how to get music out there," Robinson told Billboard, "but more importantly for me, [he knows] how to allow the artist to create pure music without the inevitable 'commercial versus art' clash that comes from a more traditional approach. All of Andreas' team shares these qualities."
Robinson has been on the road this year with the Black Crowes, as part of the band's "Lay Down with Number 13" world tour. The guitarist will undertake a U.S. tour in 2014 in support of The Ceaseless Sight.
"We've committed to taking about a year off," guitarist Alex Lifeson told Billboard. "We all agreed when we finished this tour we were going to take this time off and we weren't going to talk about band stuff or make any plans."
If you're worried that means Rush will permanently go away, don't. "We haven't stopped or quit," Lifeson said. "Right now we're just relaxing."
Even though the band plans to take the time off, Lifeson says band mates may find some spare moments to start working on Rush's next album.
"[We] typically get a little bored, and so we enjoy writing and working together," he explains, "and I wouldn't doubt that some time in the New Year we'll probably gravitate towards each other and start doing some writing."
He added that Rush's next album will probably different quite a bit from Clockwork Angels.
"The album is dying as a format," he maintains. "We're so used to it…but will we get more mileage by doing a few new songs at a time, or do we do another album? It's hard to say what the future holds."

I just purchased the pro version and it is quite buggy, which is not really a bad thing. The developer pushes a unseen feature that does not work, you can not use quotes without getting the escape character with it and some other issues. It is a great start but it seems the developer has chosen not to support his product.
Bottom line, if you know SMF and understand how it and mod'ing it works then spend the 13-15 bucks for it and tweak it yourself as it is a great start but do not expect much help from the developer other than telling you how to purchase it which by the way the link is in your profile under subscriptions.

Five Common MMO-C Misconceptions:
1. If I'm burnt out on WoW, the game must be less exciting than it was in BC/Wrath.
2. If Guild Wars 2 can do it, WoW should have done it 4-9 years ago.
3. Anything I don't get free is another way to milk the players for money.
4. "Don't hate me because I disagree" is a good way to shut down dissenting arguments.
5. GC is the root of all WoW's problems. Now that he is gone the game will be perfect again.
I did not take a stance regarding the portals on the island since I haven't even been there. I was talking about the designing of games in general. If you were as well then I have to ultimately disagree. Shooting oneself in the leg might sound like a valid suggestion if he or she doesn't like walking on two feet, but it doesn't really work out.
Thing is like with most other things, IF there is an easy way around no way you will waste time to fly there. Its the same argument as ground versus flying mounts. Sure portal is convenient but pandaria is so small with the faction hubs litterally in the middle of it all, that i just cant see the problem with flying there. IF it is a problem, set your hs up there (Hearthstones arent always bound to main cities despite many ppl doing so )
All in all, if you got a problem with spending a few minutes maybe less flying there, thats kinda sad. Flying made it so easy that demanding theese portals is atrocious when you use an argument such as "slow thing".
I should have explained better, but waht I mean is that this island is going to be istances even if you actually see it on a map. We watch Tol Barad next to Gilneas but it really is an istanced zona because noone can arrive there flying. The transport system to the island is going to be exactly the same like Tol Barad and also without flying mounts, they are not going to test a zone with ground perspective and introduce flying mounts later.
What exactly is so rewarding about flying there instead of a portal? Seems like some people want their video games to become a second life rather than a game.

Claudia looks like your paints have turned out very well. I don't see how you obtained such strong color. Very well done and a unique composition..
C and C always welcomed
Hello Claudia,.... pleased to see someone else besides me experiments with colour...after all it was vegetables/flora/sea creatures which provided colours that were used to dye cloth of all kinds from very early on in civilisation. I have made my own paper too but found it time consuming.
As for the perspective... too much would have to be changed so leave it as it is and think of it as a well painted naive painting. I like it as it is.
those who teach shall also learn and those who learn shall also teach - Peter Laslett
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Alex, I will start with yours and then catch up with everyone in a minute!! I like your first sunflower and I like this one even if it is a little more exotic for a simple sunflower. I was going to suggest, only I couldn't get online last night, that you could add a spot of cerulean blue in the shadows to give it more depth. Maybe another time. Either way you did a great job!
Yes ribs are pigs! Just don't think about it they are bacon too!!!LOL
Claudia, Great idea to turn it into a sunflower catalogue! You have done a really nice original painting, well done.
Jen C & C's always welcome
Okay, here we go. First thank you for all your nice comments on Curly and the pigs. I did fiddle some more on Curly. I had to darken some areas to make the rain stand out but it is more balance now. Not enough change to post though.
Sarah, Yes , I have seen those rows and rows of white windmills that have sprung up all over Britain. You have captured them and the rainy day perfectly.
Joseph, I am glad you joined us and welcome. I really like the damp atmosphere of you surfing painting. well done.
Bonnie. Super drawing of the sunflower and great job on the bud.
Elizabeth, What a peaceful scene of the ducks. good job on the ducks and water.
Alex, what a sweet little pig all fluffy and new.
Sarah, What a lovely painting of the hay bales. nice job on capturing the light. I really like your bee too it is so realistic. the bees have gone here too and a lot of other insects like preying mantis too.
Fred, I love this guys attitude he is so proud of himself bringing his flowers and hooch for his lady! She has to be say she is just making pie. the dogs expression is priceless!
Okay I think that is me all caught up again.
here is one I did of the boy and the water feature. I drew it in pencil first and messed up his face with the pen.
Hello Jen,
thanks for making the effort to comment on my work.....the chat is a bit daunting to get through.
The boy shows some good drawing but I wondered why he looked 'unbalanced' until I realised his head wasn't above his knees or large enough for his age. Also the perspective of the paving is a little off...sorry to be so critical and hope I haven't upset you....I still think it is a good drawing.
Dog Days.....simple quickie of my dog Piper
and a portrait of Jeeves...both watercolours
Jen, thank you for your comments. I'm so glad to see you're back to drawing and painting after your trip. Although I agree that perhaps this boy's head could be just a tad larger, this is a very good drawing of a complex posture and setting. I love what you did with capturing the way he held his hands in the fountain in the photo.
Sarah, charming paintings of Piper and Jeeves!
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you for the comments on my sunflower drawing!
I have to make it short, it's getting busy here right now.
Jen, you sketch on the boy at the water is nicely done. Difficult pose, but i like the way you captured it.
Sarah, very nice watercolours of the two dogs.
C&C always welcome
Alex - Very nice sunflower bud. I actually like both versions a lot. The second with the added splash of color does give it more interest.
Claudia - 400 years Hortus Eystettensis is very interesting. I like how you did the words on the page. Very nice colors. It does look a little flat, but actually really like it as it is. Maybe a bit more shadow and a bit of strong highlights would do the trick. But like I said - like it as is. Looked up the reference - very interesting reading.
Jen - Super job on the boy playing in water. I like the free pencil/pen strokes. Really makes this piece interesting.
Sarah - Piper and Jeeves are great. I especially like the head shot of Jeeves. His eyes really sparkle. You've captured his happy attitude.
Side Note: I'll be posting art work for week 2 of challenge 34 sometime tomorrow. Great Art and Inspiration!!!
Hello everyone,
First of all many thanks to Sheila for being a lovely host and for the wonderful selection of photos, you have a great farm and a beautiful daughter.
I apologize for not commenting but want to let you know that I've seen all of your works and they are just wonderful, you guys are all so talented!
Even if I've done those works quite time ago I think they will fit pretty well in this challenge.I hope you will like them.
C+C are always welcomed!
A wonderful night to you all!
PS. I forgot to mention the titles of my works and media
I do not want to play now..(my lovely dog pictured in her favorite spot from my garden)
Touching the sun...
acrylic paintings on Strathmore mixed media paper- 8in-6in
I am so sorry, I do not know what happened,I thought I've already loaded my paintings...I will try again...
Hello Ciusca,
The first one..really like that ...then the dog (you obviously 'understand' and are fond of her)
Painterly and full of texture s all three.
Thank you Alex , Claudia and Sheila for your comments on the dogs.......Piper can't stand for very long as he has arthritis in all his joints. Jeeves would do anything for an edible reward.
Jen, so glad to see your work. Good job on the boy playing in the water. To me this is a very hard challenge photo. You have captured his hand expressions which look difficult and is what you notice in this photo.
Sarah, love your Piper and Jeeves paintings. Lovely looking dogs that must be good companions. I especially like Jeeves' mouth with his teeth and tongue.
Cristina, great paintings. My favorite is the butterfly but they are all lovely. Your dog looks cute and cuddly and happy.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Sarah,Bonnie, your comments mean a lot to me,many thanks!!!

On this page… |
If your integrated development environment (IDE) has a MATLAB®-supported compiler, you can use the IDE to build engine applications. For an up-to-date list of supported compilers, see the Supported and Compatible Compilers Web page.
Engine applications require the Engine Library libeng, the MX Matrix Library libmx, and supporting include files, described in Files Required by Engine Applications. When you build using the mex command, MATLAB is configured to locate these files. When you build in your IDE, you must configure the IDE to locate them. Where these settings are depends on your IDE. Refer to your product documentation.
This section provides information on how to build in an IDE, such as Microsoft® Visual Studio®. It is not inclusive and assumes that you know how to use the IDE. If you need more information, refer to your product documentation. It helps to be familiar with the information in Compiling Engine Applications with MEX Command. Use this information to build an example to make sure the process works. Then configure your IDE with the information from the engine options file.
MathWorks provides Technical Support solutions for configuring specific IDEs. For using Microsoft Visual Studio, see 1-78077S. For using Macintosh Xcode, see 1-4CKF73.
Header files contain function declarations with prototypes for the routines you access in the API libraries. These files are the same for both Windows® and UNIX® systems. Engine applications use:
engine.h — function prototypes for engine routines
matrix.h — definition of the mxArray structure and function prototypes for matrix access routines
In your IDE, set the pre-processor include path to the value returned by the following MATLAB command:
fullfile(matlabroot, 'extern', 'include')
You need the libeng and libmx shared libraries. The name of the file is platform-specific, as shown in the following table.
Library File Names by Operating System
Windows[a] | Linux® | Macintosh (Intel®) |
libeng.dll | libeng.so | libeng.dylib |
libmx.dll | libmx.so | libmx.dylib |
[a] These files are located in the folder fullfile(matlabroot,'extern','lib',computer('arch'),'microsoft'). |
Add these library names to your IDE configuration. Set the library path to the value returned by the following MATLAB command:
Refer to your IDE product documentation for instructions. For example, see Technical Support solution 1-78077S.
The libeng library requires additional third-party library files. MATLAB uses these libraries to support Unicode® character encoding and data compression in MAT-files.
These library files must reside in the same folder as the libmx library. You can determine what these libraries are using the platform-specific commands shown in the following table. Once you identify these files, update your IDE, following the instructions in Specifying Engine Libraries.
Library Dependency Commands
Windows | Linux | Macintosh |
See the following instructions for Dependency Walker | ldd -d libeng.so | otool -L libeng.dylib |
On Windows systems, to find library dependencies, use the third-party product Dependency Walker. Dependency Walker is a free utility that scans any 32-bit or 64-bit Windows module and builds a hierarchical tree diagram of all dependent modules. For each module found, it lists all the functions that are exported by that module, and which of those functions are called by other modules. Download the Dependency Walker utility from the following Web site:
See the Technical Support solution 1-2RQL4L at http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/data/1-2RQL4L.html for information on using the Dependency Walker.
Drag and drop the libeng.dll file into the Depends window. Identify the dependent libraries and add them to your IDE configuration, following the instructions in Specifying Engine Libraries.
Verify that the appropriate ICU data file is installed. The ICU file name is:
where ver is a version-specific integer. The ICU file path is:
To update your IDE, follow the instructions in Specifying Engine Libraries.
Note: If you need to manipulate Unicode text directly in your application, the latest version of International Components for Unicode (ICU) is available online from the IBM Corporation Web site at http://icu.sourceforge.net/download. |

The Freemasons: a history of the world's most powerful secret societyThe Freemasons are a subject of endless fascination. To the layman, they are a mysterious brotherhood of profound if uncertain influence, a secret society purported, in some popular histories, to have its roots in the fabled order of the Knights Templar or in the mysteries of the Egyptian pyramids. They evoke fears of world domination by a select few who enjoy privileged access to wealth and the levers of power. The secrecy of their rites suggests the taint of sacrilege, and their hidden loyalties are sometimes accused of undermining the workings of justice and the integrity of nations. In this reassessment, Jasper Ridley offers a substantial work of history that sifts the truth from the myth as it traces Freemasonry from its origins to the present day. Ridley recounts the development of Freemasonry from the guilds of freestone masons, the master builders of the Middle Ages, into societies of "gentleman masons" and "speculative masons" in the seventeenth century, culminating in the formation of the Grand Lodge in London in 1717. Delineating the spread of the brotherhood to Europe, the New World, and the East, he weighs the role Freemasonry is supposed to have played in the American Revolution (some of our Founding Fathers were masons, among them George Washington and Benjamin Franklin) as well as those in France, South America, and later Russia. Ridley puts into proper perspective the contributions of "the Craft" to civilization over the centuries. Not a mason himself, he nonetheless refutes many of the outrageous allegations made against Freemasonry, while at the same time acknowledging the masons' shortcomings: their clannishness, misogyny, obsession with secrecy, and devotion to arcane ritual. |

The Mercian Sphere
My colleague Doug Moore once made a point regarding Decrepit Birth as a band he theoretically "should" like, but doesn't in reality. This isn't exactly the situation I've found myself in regarding Winterfylleth's second record, The Mercian Sphere, but its in the ballpark. Winterfylleth's brand of epic, emotionally fortified black metal is perfectly in line with my personal tastes, and bands producing similar music have made some of my favorite albums of this decade. But for whatever reason Winterfylleth's execution, despite being commendable in many respects, ends up leaving me slightly frustrated and wanting more in the long run.
Unlike Mr. Moore and Decrepit Birth, I actually enjoy Winterfylleth's music quite a bit. The Mercian Sphere starts off particularly strong; the first three tracks are all stellar examples of somber but uplifting folk-tinged black metal, balancing grim malevolence with sun-drenched melody and raw emotional impact. This is a band that clearly has an affinity for uplifting melodic themes in a black metal context, and as someone with a particular soft-spot for tragic, stately black metal (Drudkh, Walknut, etc), its hard not to get pretty giddy when moments like the intro to "Awakens He, Bereft of Kinsman" and the beautiful bridge to "The Fields of Reckoning" show themselves.
Winterfylleth is also careful to avoid exploiting this kind of melodic warmth in a melodramatic sense, and while this aspect of their sound is perhaps their most impressive, its far from the only one that's noteworthy. Songs like "The Honor of Good Men on the Path To Eternal Glory" open with dark, brooding movements before bursting into glorious conclusions, and the contrast between moods strengthens the impact of each passage. This variance is especially well-executed on the aforementioned "The Fields of Reckoning" and "To Find Solace… Where Security Stands," which brings massive tremolo figures and desperate vocals crashing around the listener to create a truly moving piece of work.
But for all of Winterfylleth's positive attributes (and there are many), I'm left feeling a bit unfulfilled when actually listening to The Mercian Sphere from cover to cover. While none of the songs are anywhere near bad, there's some compositional choices that just don't pan out too well, and some musical interjections that feel slightly "easy." I'm mainly pointing my finger at the underwhelming clean vocal segments, which primarily consist of little more than repetitive "Whoaaaaaa" type vocalizing in an "epic" fashion. Considering how sharp and effective the standard black metal vox are on this album, the shaky cleans that attempt to elevate the material to "super-epic" territory simply feel unnecessary, especially since they are mostly devoid of lyrical contributions.
The album's track-by-track pacing is also problematic. The Mercian Sphere is already lengthy at almost an hour and ten minutes, but the ordering of the songs lessens their impact from a greater perspective. After the stellar opening punch of the first three tracks, things hit a screeching halt with the enjoyable but bloated acoustic interlude of "Children of The Stones," which runs for over five minutes and effectively kills the momentum that was so well formulated by the proceeding songs. Then, after another solid epic in "The Ruin," Winterfylleth turn around and deliver two ten-minute tracks back to back, and this is around the time where my attention wanes and I start to lose touch with what the band is trying to do. These songs are both great, but why not put one of the ten-minuters at the end of the album, or place one of the interludes between them so the listener can catch their breath? This isn't a major issue considering the high quality of most of the material, but it does mean that The Mercian Sphere stumbles on more of a song by song basis, which is disappointing.
Its pretty hard to fault Winterfylleth for their intent or their talent. There's no doubt that their second full-length is a damn fine black metal album, and they've crafted some moments of titillating genius that should stir up plenty of buzz around these guys in the black metal community. But for all of its strengths, The Mercian Sphere feels a bit too calculated, and a bit too pompous for its own good. If Winterfylleth could take their exciting stylistic framework and trim some of the fat from the core of their sound, we could be in for a stunning follow-up to this record. As it stands, I find myself more excited at the potential The Mercian Sphere hints at than the album itself.

37.5 Seconds methinks
integral of (1 - x/100) from 0 - 50 = 37.5
Wait, if there was no leak, it would take 50 seconds, which means the answer must me greater than 50. lolme
it is 50 seconds because it on ly takes i second per gallon that flows out!!!! SMARTS
the ovarall rate with which water is being stored in the tank is
dv/dt = 1 - v/100 where v is the volume of the water at a particular time
integarting both side ant putting limit from 0 to 50
it results 30.10 seconds
i have another maethod also to derive this result by series and sequences and limits...

The Dunes at Maui LaniThe Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course is built on million-year old sand dunes located in central Maui. Its 18 holes are unique to anything in America because of the terrain upon which they are set, and the design techniques which were deployed by the course's architect. The 6,840-yard par 72 Dunes at Maui Lani Golf Course is designed much like the courses built centuries ago in the British Isles, as its holes take full advantage of the natural, sloping island dune terrain. That is why creativity, finesse, strategy, and good shot-making are all part of the Dunes experience. In addition to good golf, The Dunes has the only lit range with grass tees in central Maui, and is home to the newly opened Dunes Restaurant; all very conveniently located in central Maui. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 6840 yards, Rated 73.5, Slope Rated 136 |
Ellair Golf ClubThis course opened in 1987, and was originally known as Silversword. The trade winds hit the course usually in the mornings and late afternoons, and the course was designed with this in mind as many of the holes bring the wind into play. Very interesting layout and very well maintained! Lots of sand traps with medium soft sand. A sand wedge with 12 or 14 degrees of bounce is essential! Soft greens, cushy fairways, and fluffy rough. Pay attention to the grain! Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 6404 yards, Rated 73.2, Slope Rated 135 |
Royal Kaanapali North CourseThe Royal Kaanapali North Course is one of only two golf courses in all of Hawaii designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. The legendary architect took full advantage of the region's scenic natural beauty to create a course that is distinctive, demanding and appealing. The North is typically Trent Jones Sr., with large, contoured greens that place the emphasis on putting skill. It also boasts one of the best finishing holes in the state, the par-four 18th hole that Arnold Palmer, during the Canada Cup, called one of the most challenging holes he'd played. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 71; 6994 yards, Rated 71.8, Slope Rated 129 |
Kaanapali Kai South CourseThe Kaanapali Kai South Course offers sweeping views of the West Maui coast, the neighbor islands of Molokai and Lanai, and in the winter, humpback whales cavorting offshore, what golf could offer more! Arthur Jack Snyder designed 18-hole course includes a par 71 and 6,250 yards that snuggles up to the sea. Not to mention the whimsical Sugar Cane Train, whose steam locomotive, a reminder of turn-of-the-century Hawaii, chugs past on its way to the historic whaling town of Lahaina. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 71; 6555 yards, Rated 71.2, Slope Rated 126 |
Kahilli Golf CourseFormerly known as Sandalwood, The Kahili Golf Course is nestled in the foothills of the scenic West Maui Mountains, the course takes advantage of the local terrain and Hawaiian Trade Winds to create a unique golf experience. The Kahili Golf Course is conveniently located in Waikapu, a mere 10 minutes from Kahului airport and 30 minutes from the Wailea and Ka'anapali Resort Hotels. Uniquely positioned on the the slopes of the West Maui Mountains, this world-class layout affords stunning views of majestic Haleakala and the sapphire Pacific. Carved out of the foothills of the scenic West Maui Mountains. Golfers will enjoy panoramic views of the West Maui Mountains and Pacific Ocean. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72, 6537 yards, Rated 71.9, Slope Rated 130 |
Kapalua Bay CourseThere is no better place in the world to experience golf than at Kapalua. The Kapalua Bay Course features a spectacular hole, the par-3 fifth, that is built with the tee on one side of a Pacific inlet and the green on the other. Arnold Palmer and Francis Duane designed The Bay Course. The forerunner of Kapalua's three championship golf courses, The Bay Course is a 6,600-yard par 72 with gently rolling fairways and generous greens. The Bay Course is an excellent example of resort golf at its best. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 6600 yards, Rated 72.1, Slope Rated 136 |
Kapalua Plantation CourseThe par 73, 7,263-yard Plantation Course, is the course of the PGA TOUR Mercedes Championships each January featuring an elite field of previous year's PGA TOUR winners. Play the course where Ernie Ells shot 32 in 2003! A treat to play at least once in your life. Boasting three world-class golf courses, the state's largest staff of PGA professionals, some of Maui's most spectacular views, a bevy of prestigious accolades, and a state-of-the-art Golf Academy, Kapalua is considered by many as the "golf mecca of the Pacific." The grand scale of the course designed by Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore unfurls across natural geographic formations and pineapple plantation fields that take your breath away. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 73; 7263 yards, Rated 74.9, Slope Rated 138 |
Makena North CourseOpened in 1993, the Makena North Course goes out of its way to make golfers feel at one with their natural surroundings. There are no distractions on this course-unless you considered the unobstructed views of the blue pacific, neighboring islands, and humpback whales breaching during whale season to be a bit distracting. Home of the Hawaii State Open; Makena is well known not only for its layout, its excellent daily tournament playing conditions, and helpful professional staff; but also for the best golfing weather to be found anywhere in the world. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72, 7017 yards, Rated 72.1, Slope Rated 139 |
Makena South CourseThe proximity to the ocean is exactly why the Makena South Course is so special. Besides having two oceanfront holes, numbers fifteen and sixteen, the South Course also affords an excellent view of humpback whales that visit here each winter. And since they keep coming back year after year, they must be on to something good! The South Course boasts one of the top driving holes, the par-5 number ten. According to members of the PGA Aloha Section, number ten was selected as one of the top par fives in Hawaii. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72, 7017 yards, Rated 72.6, Slope Rated 138 |
Wailea Gold CourseThe home course of The Senior Skins Game, the Wailea Gold Course is the most challenging of Wailea's trio. Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr., it has been ranked among the country's best new courses by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, and one of the world's best designed by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler. Jones flavored the Gold with elements of classic golf course design, then finished it with a rugged, natural look. Throughout the course are stark lava rock outcroppings, indigenous Hawaiian grasses, an abundance of kiawe (a relative of mesquite), and remnants of papohaku, prehistoric lava rock walls built by early Hawaiians and preserved for their historic value. The Gold's 200 foot elevation change from top to bottom enhances the numerous ocean and mountain vistas available from virtually every hole. The course has been labeled a "thinking player's" course because it demands strategy and careful club selection to be played well. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 7078 yards, Rated 73.4, Slope Rated 137 |
Wailea Emerald CourseRated one of the best new courses by Golf Magazine and Golf Digest, as well as one of North America's most women-friendly by Golf for Women, the Wailea Emerald is akin to a lush tropical playground. Flowers bloom in great abundance: plumeria, bird of paradise, allamanda, gazenia, bougainvillea. A true delight for any golfer. Don't be fooled by the Emerald's pleasant appearance. It is a superbly designed course created for pure golf enjoyment, regardless of one's handicap. Measuring 6,825 yards from the back, the Emerald features four to six tee boxes on every hole, allowing players to tailor the course to their playing level. Notable features include a large double green shared by holes #10 and #17. Fronting the green is the only lake on the course. This is perhaps one of the Emerald's more picturesque spots. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 6825 yards, Rated 71.7, Slope Rated 130 |
Wailea Old BlueThe first course ever built in Wailea, the stately Blue is a gracious resort course that has been ranked among America's best resort courses by Golf Digest. In its lifetime, it has hosted such prestigious events as the LPGA Women's Kemper Open and Japan's Asahi-Kyosen pro/celebrity golf tournament. The Blue's fairways offer views of the ocean and Mt. Haleakala, and some of Wailea's stunning residential communities. It features several fountains and lakes, and an abundance of colorful hibiscus, wiliwili trees, bougainvillea and plumeria. The Blue was designed to appeal to a broad range of players. While it has challenged some of the finest professional players in the world, it also offers a measure of forgiveness in its wider fairways and large greens. Like its sister courses, the worst hazards on the blue are the visual ones: the sapphire Pacific Ocean (where one can spot humpback whales during the winter months), several offshore islands, a volcanic cinder cone known as Pu'u Olai and majestic Mount Haleakala. Championship Tees Course Rating: 18 Holes; Par 72; 6758 yards, Rated 72.2, Slope Rated 129 |

Everytime I try to burn my Roger Waters live shows and David Gilmour live shows on the same DVD the DVD ends of failing. Even there ROIO's cant get along.
I love how some of you predict impossibilities of the future. "They will NEVER get back together." Dude, they just played together a couple years ago. I'll bet anyone here 500 bucks that Waters and Gilmour tour together again before 2015.
What if you are dead by then? Who is gonna pay me?

Postgraduate Enterprise Summer School
Practice No. 975
Last modified: 21/10/2010 11:57:56
Institution: University of Birmingham
The Postgraduate Enterprise Summer School, now in its sixth year, is a week long course that has been designed to teach skills in enterprise and entrepreneurship to postgraduate students at the University of Birmingham. Topics covered include innovation, marketing, business planning, financing, commercialisation and presentation skills. By the end of the course participants will: develop a business idea from the concept stage to a fully fledged business proposition; know the steps required to set up their own business; be aware of the requirements to commercialise research in an academic environment; be able to work effectively in a team environment; and identify which role they are best suited to in a business team. The Entrepreneurship and Innovation team of the Careers and Employability Centre plans, runs and facilitates the week with some teaching input. The majority of training is delivered by other internal staff, external trainers and entrepreneurs. The University's Business School hosts the event providing training rooms and IT suites. Being intensive, all lunches and refreshment breaks need to be catered and one evening dinner is provided, as an opportunity to network with successful entrepreneurs from the region. In recent years, use of software (SimVenture) and the internet, brainstorming tools (Ketso) and profiling tools (e.g. Belbin, eFACETS) have significantly enriched the programme. -
The Coniston Programme: Personal & Team Skills
Practice No. 940
Last modified: 21/10/2010 11:52:41
Institution: University of Birmingham
This is a 5-day residential, highly participative, fun and challenging event. Using a combination of outdoor activities, classroom sessions and guided individual and group reflection, participants explore their personal approach to team work, experience what makes teams successful and have the opportunity to share their experiences with a wide range of doctoral researchers. It is based at the University's outdoor centre in the heart of the Lake District. The University of Birmingham is fortunate in having its own outdoor training centre in the Lake District. This includes fully trained and qualified staff and all specialist equipment. Facilitators skilled in group review and supporting reflection are vital to the success of this activity in order to help participants make connections with the experience and their situation "at home". We have also found that at least one group tutor should be an experienced academic / researcher, in order to further contextualises the learning. 2 central University staff attend as group leaders, facilitate classroom based exercises and act as small group tutors as appropriate. Up to 4 small group tutors are required to facilitate exercises and group reviews. These are provided by the Centre as appropriate. Access to the on-line Belbin Team Profile tool is also required -

Less than seven weeks into his second term, President Barack Obama seems mired in the same uncertainty over how to deal with recalcitrant and at times obstructionist Republicans that dominated his volatile first term.
While the president and his team insist he is the reasonable one in the endless debate over taxes and spending, the failure last week to deliver a deal with Congress to avert forced spending cuts has harmed Obama's poll numbers and raised questions about his strategy.
Critics cite a hyper-partisan blame campaign by Obama that stretched and at times obliterated the truth about the forced spending cuts, as well as the eventual political showdown with congressional Republicans last Friday that yielded nothing but public confusion and disenchantment.
Now the president appears to be calibrating his campaign-style efforts to generate public outrage against Republicans by reaching out to GOP legislators, starting with dinner Wednesday night with 12 GOP senators, including some harsh critics.
Obama also invited House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, and the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, to lunch Thursday, a White House official said.
Next week, the president will go across town to the U.S. Capitol for separate meetings he requested with Republicans in the House and Senate.
The Wednesday dinner was described by participants as a frank and beneficial discussion on deficit reduction, including how to bring about bipartisan support for so far intractable issues such as reforms to the tax system and popular entitlement programs.
No negotiations took place, they stressed, describing it as an opening exchange of what appeared to be a trust-building exercise after the past four years of deeply partisan divide.
"We were working together and talking together about the real essence of our problem and how we can get this thing turned from this never-ending, short-term-fix, fiscal cliff stuff into a long-term solution to our fiscal problem," Sen. Dan Coats, R-Indiana, told CNN on Thursday. "I was pleased that it was that substantive."
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, said he believed common ground could be reached in some areas but added that "it's not going to happen over one dinner."
While the main focus of current Washington debate involves fiscal issues, Obama also seeks to work out compromises on other priorities, including immigration reform and tighter gun laws.
A White House official told CNN on Wednesday that the president's outreach was a "change in approach" following the deadline-driven atmosphere of the previous week, when the forced spending cuts took effect on March 1.
It follows a series of speeches by Obama in February intended to raise pressure on congressional Republicans to accept his insistence on more tax revenue as part of any plan to replace the forced spending cuts or reach a broader deficit reduction agreement.
No agreement ensued, and now Obama refers to finding a "caucus of common sense" that would include Republicans willing to go against their leadership's unyielding opposition to any kind of further tax increases after they agreed in January to return rates on top income earners to higher levels of the 1990s.
Republicans, including House Speaker John Boehner, argue that Obama only wants to make them look bad to give Democrats a chance to win back control of the House in the 2014 elections.
They question whether the president truly wants an agreement on fiscal issues, or if he merely seeks to depict Republicans as obstructionist while continuing to push his campaign themes of equal opportunity and shared burden from last year's election.
"We're expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party," Boehner said in a January speech. "And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal -- to just shove us into the dustbin of history."
To Brown University political scientist Wendy Schiller, Obama needs to work harder for results instead of remaining in election campaign mode.
"Spending energy for the next year-and-a-half doing nothing and blaming Republicans on the long shot you get the House back is woefully misguided and bad for the country," Schiller told CNN. "Americans did not re-elect President Obama to play the partisan blame game. They re-elected him to run the country, and that is what he should be doing."
She cited the president's series of recent speeches that warned of myriad troubles including job losses, released criminals, reduced security and other threats if Congress failed to replace or soften the forced spending cuts, known in Washington jargon as sequestration.
Several claims turned out to be excessive, as noted by GOP critics and media fact-checkers, putting Obama and the administration on the defensive.
"His big gamble was to overplay the impact of the sequester on the daily lives of most Americans," Schiller said, adding that it failed to effectively sway public opinion because "when people can't see the damage, they don't worry about the damage."
At the same time, Republicans are putting more pressure on Obama by better tailoring their opposition to his policies instead of repeating the sweeping rejection and calls for repeal that characterized last year's election campaign.
"Republicans are being more strategic in how they're approaching the budget," said Darrell West, the vice president and director of governance studies at the Brookings Institution. "As opposed to saying 'no' to everything, they are picking and choosing their fights."
A CNN compilation of recent national polls shows a drop in Obama's approval rating to below 50% in recent weeks as the debate over the forced spending cuts reached its zenith.

This is my son's 2nd season in tackle football
My kid played Football and Lacrosse. I was one of the coaches for football. A lot of those guys are trying to relive their lives through the kids. Bunch of dopes. Football was rough, lacrosse was brutal.
My cousin is a corner for Dartmouth. He returns kicks and plays gunner also. Busted open his spleen last year. It's not stopping him from playing this year. Some kids just like this stuff. What can you do?
I flunked the revolution....
My step son just got onto the football team this past week. I was kind of hoping he wouldnt make it. Wide receiver too.
fuck yeah....I loved playing football. why would I deny my son the chance?
