MemoDLSG;4396356 said:Hmmm... there's something fishy here:
I don't like playing devil's advocate but... Does this mean the Pro upgrades are exclusive to the pack? Will the pack cost more then or will the upgrades just be free? Or is there something I'm misunderstanding?
EDIT: Source: http://www.ozzy.com/us/news/rock-band-3-feature-eight-songs-celebrate-30th-anniversary-blizzard-ozzdiary-madman
HMXhenry said:So without confirming the entirety of the info floating around (we're still on track to announce the full track list and pricing next week) it's definitely worth providing some clarity on a bit of the language that appeared on Ozzy's site the other day.
Yes, there will be 8 songs in the Ozzy pack. Yes, "Bark at the Moon" and "Mama, I'm Coming Home" will be two of the songs in the pack. Yes, they will have Pro Guitar upgrades. Yes, these two tracks will only be available as part of the 8 pack. And yes, this is the first time we've done something like this. It's an epic release and people will have a ton of fun with these songs and it's exciting to be able to experiment with DLC bundling like this.
I think most folks upset about cherry picking those tracks will be a bit happier when they see the pricing for the 8 pack, especially with the Pro upgrades included. Even if some people are opposed to buying the full pack, there are still 6 classic Ozzy tracks available as singles, along with one additional Pro upgrade. It's shaping up to be a blockbuster week of DLC and we may have a few codes to give away to help promote like we did with the Foo Fighters pack. So keep an eye out for that!
Kariodude;4398191 said:If the songs are exclusive to the pack, I really hope this doesn't become a new thing. I'd hate to think that I get forced to buy songs down the road just because of 1 song I actually want.
****Edit May 27 for HMXHenry Comments****HMXhenry said:We will definitely be watching to see how the community reacts to this DLC release. We're already tracking comments on the forums and we'll be checking download stats on the back end as well. Everyone should feel free to weigh in with their thoughts, especially once the specifics of pricing are announced so everyone is able to get the full picture.
Rest assured that we're not planning on doing this every week from now on or anything like that. It may be a bit different from how we've released DLC before but the last 6 months has seen us release RB3 versions for the first time, Pro guitar charts for the first time, upgraded legacy content for the first time, etc. It's an awesome opportunity to be able to release this landmark content in sync with Ozzy's re releases, and I think bundling the pack together like this is a great way to showcase his catalog as well as offer it in a cool and convenient way for people looking to check out his songs and master those tracks on Pro guitar.
We'll have more info in next Friday's DLC announcement, so keep posted!

Lots and lots of responses. Sorry in advance for the length of this post.
ManLovesRobot;4404112 said:I am fine with doing this type of packaging with a specific artist, but I don't think they should ever do it with various artists.
HMXHenry said:First of all, I want to let everyone know that we don't have any plans at this time to release pack exclusives again, certainly not any time in the immediate future. Beyond that, due to the tricky nature of licensing and labels protective nature of their artists, it's safe to say that it's extremely unlikely that you'd ever see exclusive content released in a pack of multiple artists.
As mentioned when we confirmed the exclusivity last week, we've passed feedback along to the licensing team, so they know where the hardcore stands on the issue.
MemoDLSG;4404134 said:Throwing this out there, mainly so HMXHenry (or someone else in the know) answers it:
Is there a possibility of the pack-exclusive songs being made available as singles at a later date (as in, the pack-exclusivity is timed)?
HMXHenry said:We don't currently have any plans to release these songs as singles. There's no telling how the licensing could work out in the future, so I won't say that it'll never happen, but if it wasn't a possibility for launch it's not very likely that will change.
HyeJinx1984;4404208 said:Henry has already said that HMX will monitor the reactions to this type of DLC release online and also see how the pack sells to inform whether or not they are going to go forward with it. My prediction is that this will happen:
Online: Everyone complains.
X-Box Live: Everyone buys Ozzy.
...and if that happens, which I think is what will happen, HMX will know this is the best way to go about things, whether or not we think it is. They say "vote with your wallet," and I think HMX is banking on the idea that they will vote in their favor.
I know I will. I want my Ozzy.
HMXHenry said:I don't think it will come as a surprise to anyone that Ozzy DLC will sell well regardless of how it is bundled. It's Ozzy. There's not many artists you could say that about. So it's not as if we'll look at it in a month and say "Hey, it sold great! That must mean everyone loved the exclusives so lets do that all the time! Yaaaaaay!"
jeronemitchell;4404212 said:
It's cool if you deem it worth it. It's cool if you don't. However, I don't think that trying an alternative sales strategy is worthy of that much vitriol... particularly from a company that needs to see DLC profit to keep making that DLC we keep asking for.
HMXHenry said:With no plans for a new title in the immediate future, you're right in saying that DLC is powering RB right now. That means we need to focus on getting big artists, big songs, awesome promotions, and cool incentives. We know the people on the forums will be checking in on DLC every week, but we need to attract the attention of the rest of the other 99% of the people out there playing RB.
If that means one week out of 150 comes with pack exclusive tracks, or if it means adding free Pro upgrades to a pack to benefit Pro guitarists or re jiggering the DLC release for the week for a AAA artist, then we owe it to the platform, and to you the hardcore fanbase, to try. If it doesn't work out well and it doesn't hit the community the right way then we'll keep looking.
Santa Claustrophobia;4404261 said:
If it's one thing HMX has shown a particular affinity for, it's being unable to properly distinguish between fan reaction and fan desire. This pack will probably sell well enough. I wouldn't hold my breath that they'd realise that in spite of that success, they've also angered a number of people. Money talks. They will do this again.
HMXHenry said:Hopefully my post above to the contrary is reassuring. I'm interested in your comment about fan reaction vs fan desire and would like to hear more (in PM if you'd rather keep it out of the DLC discussion). We spend a lot of time looking at stats and weighing them against the more intangible quality of forum feedback, so I think we have a pretty good handle about what RB fans want, both on the forums and in the larger RB community. What's best for the hardcore isn't always best for the general audience and vice versa, so we try to balance things as best as we can. I'm always interested in hearing more from folks on the other side of the fence though.
Odin Force;4404315 said:I disagree. I think there are a few who come off as horribly whiny and unappreciative, but you have to realize that the people on the forums are consumers who are providing HMX with information about why they will or won't buy something.
HMXHenry said:I think people in this thread (and on the forums in general and on Twitter... maybe less so on Facebook) have been extremely reasonable in their reactions. Barring one or two hyperbolic and paranoid posts, there have been a lot of insightful comments about our DLC strategy, the licensing process, the Pro audience, and other factors that are a lot more in depth than we would have seen in discussion here a year ago.
I'm incredibly thankful that we have such a well informed community and that so many of you are able to understand the specifics of how / why a DLC release like this happens, and also read between the lines when we're not able to provide greater detail. We've been pushing to be a lot more open and honest in the past few months and I think, with informed and articulate responses like we've seen here, that it's been worth it. So thanks to everyone for that. We're working on another little thank you for the hardcore when DLC launches next week, so keep an eye out for that.
thatmarkguy Road WarriorWould Ozzy have the rights to authorize RB versions of the live Sabbath 'covers' (for lack of a better word) on Randy Rhoads Tribute?
8 tracks is about what I expected. CCR was the most-recently-released single-artist pack that I bought... any 8 songs from early Ozzy would assuredly make him my next.
If the PSN marketplace ever comes back, of course.
Sayburr The Always Informative Rock Band Forum Guru
SeymourDuncan17 Road Warrior
Funk-n-stein Rising StarI haven't listened to Ozzy or Black Sabbath (or any metal for that matter) regularly in many years, but I used to love them in high school. Pretty psyched to see some early Ozzy (and possibly sabbath) on the way. Hopefully all tracks will have guitar upgrades!
My picks for the track pack would be:
Diary of a Madman
Flying High Again
Mr. Crowley
You Can't Kill Rock and Roll
Revelation (Mother Earth)
Steal Away (The Night)
ZiggyXNAMVP Opening Act
metalgod22 Opening Act
Skode Headlinerdog037;4394023 said:That's true, although I could have done without the songs from the new album.
They were the REASON we got that pack so you cant knock em buddy and to be fair they were actually decent - i had never heard them before downloading the pack but ive no complaints with them but at least we know what we are getting with this pack... just wish i knew which songs were coming. Eight songs has me excited as i was only expecting six
meck77 Road WarriorSayburr;4393976 said:I take it the facebook post doesn't list the songs...
eight songs huh? Here is my wishlist:
I Don't Know
Suicide Solution
Mr. Crowley
Revelation (Mother Earth)
Over the Mountain
Flying High Again !!!!
You Can't Kill Rock & Roll
Diary of a Madman
Get outta my head Sayburr!!
Check it out.
The second disc of the 2011 re release of Diary of a Madman is called Ozzy Live.
It has 11 tracks :
Disc 2 (Ozzy Live, recorded on the Blizzard of Ozz tour):
I Dont Know
Crazy Train
Mr. Crowley
Flying High Again
Revelation (Mother Earth)
Steal Away (The Night)
Suicide Solution
Iron Man
Children of the Grave
Take out the three Sabbath tracks because of licensing issues, and you're left with what?
Eight tracks.
I'll almost guarantee (but don't know for SURE obviously) that these are the eight tracks (from this album no less) that we'll be getting.
So the "live sucks!" crowd are going to be screaming and yelling once again I'd imagine.
I submit to you AC/DC's Let there be Rock as a counter point.
Studio version on RB2, Live version on the AC/DC disc/import.
Yes Let there be Rock is no longer in the RB library if you have RB3, but if you still play RB2, you'd have both a studio version and live version of the 'same' song.
And of course live versions can be very different from their studio counterparts, so it's not like it'll be the exact same song (in a manner of speaking).

I would submit LTBR was one of 18 songs not 1 of 8.

It can replace Crazy Train.Plutarch;4394080 said:As long as the tracks still had Rhodes on guitar, I don't think live versions would go over too badly. Although the lack of "Diary of a Madman" on that particular list makes me a sad panda, so I'm hoping it doesn't line up completely.
Hey it's possible I'm totally wrong. Wouldn't be the first time, wouldn't be the last.
Just using deductive reasoning to come to a possible solution.
Ozzy mentioned both albums of the 2011 re-release in the FB post. This live version minus the 3 Sabbath tracks has exactly 8 tracks taken from both albums.
Again I could be wrong, but it would be a hell of a coincidence that both the dlc and this album (minus sabbath) are both 8 tracks.
Do I want two versions of the same song? Not particularly, but I'm just pointing out a possible answer to what the DLC could be.
Funk-n-stein Rising StarPlutarch;4394080 said:As long as the tracks still had Rhodes on guitar, I don't think live versions would go over too badly. Although the lack of "Diary of a Madman" on that particular list makes me a sad panda, so I'm hoping it doesn't line up completely.
Yeah, I would be bummed if we didn't get Diary
Plutarch Road WarriorGNFfhqwhgads;4394079 said:I submit AC/DC's mentality on cherry-picking. Back to you.
Oh, AC/DC and their lack of cherry picking. I like how that never applies to radio singles....Makes me just want to take a CD of theirs and skip some tracks and play some others out of order.
The live tracks are from the "Blizzard of Ozz" tour, so I doubt "Diary of a Madman" would be among them given that it was off the next album. But if I recall correctly, the original article which revealed more Ozzy mentioned both albums specifically so fingers crossed!
I_Love_You Road Warrior
sparkman Opening Actsweet!
Im hoping for mr. crowley and diary of a madman. and considering ozzy is high up there in the greatest bands to be added to rockband, perhaps a pro upgrade for let me hear you scream and soul sucker. I would buy the pack and the upgrades hands down, and any other upgrades that will be added

Zach Johnson Wins BMW Championship; Soars Up FedEx Cup Standings
Zach Johnson is currently in a league of his own. The Iowa native constantly sneaks under the radar of the highly talked about PGA pros, but quietly dominates them all with his consistency and fundamental golf skills. Johnson is utilizing these unique characteristics to compile a September to remember. On the final hole of the Deutsche Bank Championship, Johnson made a 25-foot birdie putt to secure the tenth and final spot on the President's Cup team. And to top that stunning performance, he came from behind at the BMW Championship to win the last FedEx Cup playoff tournament of the year before the Tour Championship. Johnson shot a final day 6-under, 65 to overtake Jim Furyk for the tournament victory.

SUTTONS BAY — Leelanau County Commissioner Melinda Lautner said she thinks Leelanau County already has enough wealth.
Another county commissioner, Debra Rushton, said county residents don't want growth, and county residents are perfectly happy pumping gas, buying a gallon of milk and going home.
A third commissioner, Karen Zemaitis, said anyone who wants to find a good job in Leelanau County needs to figure out how to do so on their own.
Those commissioners offered those insights and more at an April 8 meeting, at which county leaders rejected a partnership with the Traverse Bay Economic Development Corporation to create a new jobs strategy. Commissioners also disbanded the county's long-running economic development board, meaning the county may have to return up to $40,000 in grant money earmarked for job growth for rural residents.
Those decisions have economic development and chamber of commerce officials, many of them in Leelanau County, collectively asking one question:
What are they thinking?
Enough wealth
"The message that it sends, or at least risks sending, is that the county is closed for business," said Doug Luciani, president of the Traverse City Area Chamber of Commerce. "'We don't want growth.' It also puts the county at risk of really isolating itself in terms of all the things happening on a regional basis."
The Record-Eagle obtained an audio recording of the commission's April 8 meeting through a Freedom of Information Act request. On the recording, Lautner states the county already has enough wealth. It's not the Board of Commissioners' business to worry about its residents, she said.
"We can't be health, wealth, happiness and prosperity," Lautner said. "We are not that person. That's not what we are elected to do. Interestingly enough, Leelanau County has health and wealth … that's just a bonus. We are already there."

BIS Guide
Use this guide to plan your progress through the BIS program.
1. Find out if the program is appropriate for you:
· Check out the web site: weber.edu/BIS.
· Contact the BIS Office at (801) 626-7713 or email@example.com to get information about the BIS Program. We also have an online session, which provides the same information about program.
· If, after reading through all of the materials on the BIS homepage and viewing this information session, you decide that the BIS program is right for you, the next step will be to complete the BIS Degree Application Form.
2. Complete the BIS Degree Application Form:
· This step will require you to decide what three areas you would like to study, contact the adviser for each of those three areas, and collaborate to create a list of courses that will provide a solid foundation of learning.
· There are a several important rules that must be observed when completing the BIS Degree Application Form in order for it to be accepted for admission, so be sure to pay close attention to the items listed on the front page of the contract.
· Visit with the department chairs and/or advisers for your three areas of emphasis to work out a course of study.
· Make sure you have 120 total semester hours, 40 credits of which are upper division hours, by the time you finish your contract and capstone.
· Build research oriented classes into your contract in preparation for the capstone.
· Write the statement of purpose explaining why you want to complete a BIS degree.
3. Make an appointment with Dr. Cena to work through the completed/signed contract
· After you have completed the BIS Degree Application Form and obtained signatures form all three department advisers, contact the BIS office to arrange an admission appointment with the BIS director.
· In addition to the completed contract, please bring a "BIS Statement of Purpose" with you to the appointment. This should be a one-page double-spaced narrative that explains what you plan to accomplish with your BIS degree. This will be placed in your student file upon admission to the program.
· After the director has signed the contract, you will receive a formal letter of acceptance into the program, along with a new graduation evaluation and a copy of your contract.
4. Do the course work on your contract:
· The next step is to complete the coursework that you've planned. Remember that in addition to your BIS coursework, you must also complete the University general education and minimum credit requirements in order to graduate with a BIS degree. During your admission appointment, we will go over your coursework and a current degree evaluation to make sure that what you have planned to take will lead to graduation.
· If you want to make any changes to your contract, you must complete a Substitution Form, available at the BIS office, or this website, which the department chair for that area of emphasis signs. Return the signed form to the BIS office.
· It's a good idea to visit with the director at least once a year to talk about your progress. Just make an appointment by calling 801-626-7713 or by email at email@example.com.
5. Register for BIS 3800:
· The next step is to register for BIS 3800 2-3 semesters before you plan to graduate. You will be completing a minimum of two BIS courses as you progress through the BIS program. BIS 3800 Capstone Preparation is the first of these two courses. The purpose of this course is to prepare you to complete an interdisciplinary capstone project effectively, and to provide the opportunity to write a professional resume or begin the process of applying to graduate school.
· The other required BIS course is BIS 4800 — BIS 3800 is a prerequisite for BIS 4800. This course is 3 credits of time where you will complete your capstone project and earn your final grade. There is no formal class for you to attend in BIS 4800; however, you must use the time to fully complete your capstone project. You register for BIS 4800 once, even if you take two or more semesters to complete your capstone project. You will earn three upper division credits for your capstone when you finish. You will receive a "T" grade at the end of the semester, which will be changed to a grade when you complete your project. BIS 4800 should be completed in the semester that you graduate.
· BIS 3800 is a required prerequisite for BIS 4800 and is offered in online in Fall, Spring, and Summer semesters.
While you're in BIS 3800, you will:
· Set up your Capstone Committee: Invite one faculty member from each of your three areas of emphasis to sit on your committee and mentor you through the completion of your project.
· Write a prospectus, explaining the "what", "why", and "how" of your project.
· Write a professional resume or begin a graduate school application.
6. Call your Prospectus meeting:
· After you have completed BIS 3800 and identified your committee members, you have a prospectus meeting with yourself and your three committee members. As a group, you will agree on the details of how your capstone project will be completed. Be sure to allow at least 2-3 weeks for planning this meeting because faculty schedules are very full and it will be challenging to find a time when everyone can meet.
· Project a time and date at least one to two weeks ahead, and be prepared to negotiate times and dates to accommodate all three faculty members. All three members of your committee must be present at the meeting, either in person or by conference call (the BIS. department can provide that capability if you need it) and it is your responsibility to ensure a time and date they can attend.
· Contact 626-7713 if you'd like the BIS office to schedule a room.
· Send your committee a paper copy of your prospectus BEFORE the meeting so they have time to read it.
· Make your prospectus meeting useful: ask questions and seek guidance.
· At the meeting, ask your committee to sign the Prospectus Meeting form to show they attended. Return the signed form to the BIS office.
· If your project involves research on human subjects, you will need to complete the IRB form available at http://catsis.weber.edu/irb/
· After the meeting, e-mail your committee with a summary of the discussion so that you all have a written agreement on the expectations of the project.
7. Work on your capstone thesis:
· After you and your committee agree on your capstone project plan, then it will be your responsibility to act on the plan and complete the project in a reasonable amount of time. You will need to submit drafts of your project to your committee members regularly (at least three rounds) for feedback related to suggested improvements along the way. After all three committee members have clearly indicated that the project is complete and requires no further revisions, then it is time to hold your oral defense meeting.
· Make sure each member of your committee has at least two weeks to read the final draft of your thesis before holding the oral defense. Don't expect your committee to give you a grade at the Oral Defense meeting if they haven't had an opportunity to read and respond to your work ahead of time.
· The oral defense is NOT the time for corrections to be discussed—this must be done before the meeting when your committee provides feedback on the FINAL draft. Any corrections suggested at that time must be incorporated before the final defense so that your project is totally complete when the meeting occurs.
8. Call an Oral Defense meeting:
· Since the BIS director must be present at your defense, the first person you should contact when arranging your oral defense is the BIS office. They will give you the days and times that the director is available that you can then suggest to your three committee members. Try to start arranging the defense meeting day and time at least one to two weeks ahead, a month in advance is better, and be prepared to negotiate times and dates to accommodate all three faculty members.
· EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR COMMITTEE MUST BE PRESENT AT YOUR ORAL DEFENSE, either in person or by conference call, and it is your responsibility to ensure a time and date that they can attend.
· After the defense, submit the signed Oral Defense Form and a clean, bound copy of your completed capstone thesis to the BIS office.
· Write a thank you note to each member of the committee; they've given you their time and expertise.
9. Apply for graduation:
· In the first 6-8 weeks of your last semester, when you've registered for your final classes fill out the graduation form and pay the fees to student services. You are responsible to assure you will complete all requirements to graduate by paying close attention to your Cattracks.
· After all of the steps listed above are complete, then it is time to graduate.

Well, I didn't have any chicken so I used hamburger, and I didn't have any sweet potatoes so I used turnips, and I didn't have maple syrup so I used molasses, but I still feel I am justified in reviewing this recipe....no, no, none of the above is true, it's just that some of the reviews on this site can be so annoying sometimes. Anyways, this recipe actually is lovely! Fast, easy, and it tastes great! 5 stars.
We LOVED it!!! I doubled it so we would have leftovers, and also added a couple tablespoons of butter when mashing the sweet potatoes. It doesn't specify as to use real Maple Syrup or not, but that's what I used. Thanks for sharing!!!
This recipe has some good things going on. The sauce with the maple syrup and onion was really good. However we felt the sweet potatoes with the sauce was a little flat. So I mixed some mashed butter and brown sugar in the potatoes to fix them. Ofcourse then you have something like candied sweet potatoes. Oh well that made them good for us anyway. Thanks for the recipe.

Point Spread: +6/-102 New Orleans
I am rolling right along and have hit seven straight plays in the NBA. I have a big late play in the NBA in the Expert Cappers section, that will end the night on a winning note heading into the football weekend!
Free Pick: Hornets +6
The Hornets are a better team that people give them credit for and this line is WAY OFF. In fact the Hornets should be favorites in this game and will win on the court.
The Nuggets struggle as road chalk as they are 5-15 ATS in their last 20 games as a road favorite of less than 4.5 points.
The Hornets are slowly starting to gel with all of the new pieces that they added in the shortened off season. Take the bugs to keep it close at home
Hornets +6
Also check out my play on the Cotton Bowl tonight. I am the #1 rated handicapper in college football and ready to blitz the bookie this weekend!

Let's get this clear right off the bat. There's nothing fancy about this place. Not that it's a dive, either. This space on Mountain Industrial Boulevard used to be a Taco Mac and the decor may not have changed much since then, but the food certainly has. More on that momentarily.
They have poker night, bingo night, pool tables and so forth. The music is pretty loud. Lots of television screens, all tuned to sports channels. But you can bring your children here - and people do. There's a large non-smoking section away from the bar and the noise that is family friendly. This is what I would recommend if you're bringing the little ones.
The kids' menu has what you might expect. They can partake of mini corn dogs, grilled cheese, or a cheeseburger. All with fries, of course. Oh, ice cream too. All for $4.49.
So what about the grown-ups? has daily lunch specials that range in price from $5.95 to $6.99. (Don't ask me why there's a four cent discrepancy.) Wings. Quesadillas, Chimichangas, Fish & Chips, that sort of thing. I didn't try a burger but there's a blogger out there who thinks it's "cooked to perfection." The crispy and smoked chicken wings seem to have quite a reputation as well.
One of the dishes I had was a Cajun Chicken ($9.99) with a side of mashed potatoes that were the real deal. None of that fake stuff out of a packet. It came with grilled vegatables and the mushrooms in particular were outstanding.
The dinner menu is comprehensive and varied. For $9.99 you can have Barlow's Beef Ravioli with Italian spices, the restaurant's own marinara sauce and parmesan cheese. A couple of other items inspired by that corner of the world are Fettuccine Alfredo ($7.99, or $9.99 with blackened chicken, $11.99 with shrimp) and Rigatoni ala Vodka, wihich as the name implies is made with creamy vodka sauce and proscuitto and herbs. It's also $7.99 and you can add chicken or shrimp to it to your heart's content.
If you're feeling fishy you can have Atlantic Salmon for $11.99 or Fried Clam Strips for $7.99.
Then there's the chili. This is really good. So good, in fact, that it recently won a top award at the first annual . So if you're a fan of good chili, you know what to do.
I had a dessert of Chocolate Cobbler. That's what Nicole, the waitress, called it, though it's not on the menu and I don't know what I paid for it. Let's just say it put a big smile on my face.
"You all right, darlin'?" Nicole asked me once or twice. Yes, I was. I told you it was a casual sort of place.
Barlow's Bar & Grill is located at 2845 Mountain Industrial Blvd. Tucker and is open Mon - Wed, 11:30 a.m. - 2 a.m; Thu - Sat, 11:30 a.m. - 3 a.m; Sun, noon - 3 a.m. 770-934-1773. See the menu here.

Gen. 2:4, "These are the generations," means the "history." 5:1, "The book of the generations," means a family register, or history of Adam. 37:2, "The generations of Jacob" = the history of Jacob and his descendants. 7:1, "In this generation" = in this age. Ps. 49:19, "The generation of his fathers" = the dwelling of his fathers, i.e., the grave. Ps. 73:15, "The generation of thy children" = the contemporary race. Isa. 53:8, "Who shall declare his generation?" = His manner of life who shall declare? or rather = His race, posterity, shall be so numerous that no one shall be able to declare it.

In Deut. 1:35 and 2:14 a generation is a period of thirty-eight years.

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — DERRY — The Derry Dog Park is open for business after being closed for some upgrades.
Dozens of dogs and their owners took advantage of a nice fall day yesterday to run, romp, visit and exercise at the park.
Parks and Recreation director Eric Bodenrader said the off-leash park gets an overhaul every two years.
The park had to close because much of the work required large machinery. Crews graded the area, spread new stone dust and generally upgraded the popular facility.
The park relies on volunteers and visitors for support. A donation box is located at the main gate for anyone wishing to donate to park upkeep.
The park is on Fordway, next to the animal control building and across from the transfer station.
The area is completely fenced in, with a double gate to enter, to keep dogs safe. There are agility obstacles, tunnels and toys available.
There's also a separate small dog area, open to dogs 20 pounds and under.
The park is open from sunrise to sunset.
To learn more, call Parks and Recreation at 432-6136.

Koldborn - The Uncanny Valley
Koldborn - The Uncanny Valley
file under Death metal
Menno: A young band with a new record out. Modern death metal so they call them selves, and to make things worse they're Scandinavian. Quickly I start searching for some pictures of these lads and I'm not surprised to find a trucker-cap, some middle fingers and mucho tattoos. (death) Metalcore, exactly what I thought. Damn, how am I going to write a positive critic on this?
Good for them that their record, 'The Uncanny Valley' gives them the full right to use the prefix death with the term metalcore, since the vocals hardly ever use that horrible spastic scream we all hate. In stead, low grunts have the preference, just the way I like em. The same can be said for the steadily pounding blastbeats. Too bad all the songs have those typical 'mosh' parts which all are surprisingly alike. I'm sure you'll know them, easy, low rhythms on the guitar with them slow, steady drumbeats. Nothing wrong with 'em, but please don't put them in every song.
The record isn't awful; it just doesn't grasp me by the throat. It's nice and grooving, and while I'm writing this I even catch my feet tapping on the nice polka rhythms and blastbeats. Nevertheless, all the songs have neat structures, which make this record a bit predictable. As said, they all are quite similar to each other. A nice exception to this rule is the thrashy, Darkane-like 'A Destiny Predicted'. Singer Lars' brutal grunt is one of my personal highlights as well. It's a pity that he and his mighty vocal cords aren't enough to save this record. Nevertheless, modern death metal/metalcore lovers don't have to be ashamed when this cd will come as an addition to his or her record collection in the next two weeks.

A movie stuffed with squirrels behaving badly, "The Nut Job" dilutes its kid-friendly message of working together to get things done by stuffing its cast full of fuzzy animals that are pretty mean to each other for nearly the entire length of the movie. Set in a vaguely 1940s-era urban landscape (the one thing I did enjoy), the movie opens on the denizens of a park worrying about having enough food for the winter.
A new exhibit opens January 22 at the UTSA main campus off Loop 1604. The exhibit is an extensive collection of race-related media, photographs, video and items from bygone eras.

"The exhibit takes its title from the words of Mamie Till Bradley, who was the mother of Emmett Till," Sherer said.

"Usually the money you raise in your first month is your easy money, from here on out it's going to get harder, but it's a good pace to set," Stanford said.

During National Fire Prevention Week Oct. 7-13, area firefighters visited Lindbergh elementary schools to share fire safety tips and talk about how they keep people safe.
At Kennerly Elementary School, Gretchen Biscan's class met the Metro West Fire Protection District's Capt. Todd Barger, who is also a Kennerly parent. Students learned safety tips and helped Capt. Barger make a 911 call. They also received red fireman hats, coloring books, pencils and stickers from the Metro West Fire Protection District in Wildwood, where Capt. Barger works.
Crestwood and Long kindergarten students had fun visiting with the Crestwood Fire Department, sitting in their big yellow truck, and taking turns spraying the fire hose. The firefighters also passed out fire safety booklets, fire hats and badges. They taught students the importance of changing smoke detectors and having a family meeting to create a fire safety plan.
At Sappington Elementary School, members of the Mehlville Fire Protection District taught first-graders about the pumper fire truck and ambulance. Students learned where firefighters keep the water, hoses and first aid equipment. They also learned about home fire safety from ServPro, a local fire restoration company.
The National Fire Protection Association's theme for National Fire Prevention Week 2012 is "Have 2 Ways Out!", focusing on the importance of fire escape planning and practice.

If approved, a new bill would require children to wear life preservers.
Children would have to wear a life preserver whenever they board a boat in the state of Wisconsin.
The bipartisan bill, which passed the state Senate Wednesday, will now head to the state Assembly for approval.
If signed into law by Governor Doyle, the law would require children 12-years-old and under to wear a lifevest while out on a boat.
The law, as it stands now, says boaters are only required to have the same number of lifevests onboard for the number of passengers on the boat.
Wisconsin is one of just four states in the country not to require children to wear a lifevest aboard a boat.

With Hurricane Sandy tearing through the East Coast, 12 agencies gathered at South San Francisco to take part in emergency response scenarios comparable to the hurricane.
The program, Urban Shield 2012, is a planned training exercise to prepare agencies for emergency response. It was hosted by the South San Francisco Fire Department.
Agencies included South San Francisco, Marin County, Santa Clara County, Colma, San Mateo, Central County, Southern Marin, Half Moon Bay, Belmont, San Jose, and Idaho Regional Response Team and a civilian assistance team.
Exercises prepped the agencies for scenarios including hazardous materials and urban search and rescue incidents. The emphasis of the program is on decision making skills and cooperation between the first responders.
The members who participated in the weekend's exercise now await deployment to the East Coast to provide aid during Hurricane Sandy.

Awesome product! Great value for the money.
My German Shepherd loves playing with this ball. It is his favorite toy! We had a few old ones that were given to us upon his adoption. They were so beat up after many years of wear, but he loved them anyways. We finally got around to searching the internet in order to get him some new ones. Did tons of research, and this store has the best deal out there! We purchased two 8" Jolly Pet Romp-n-Roll balls so we can alternate their use. The 8" ball is the best size for a large dog. Highly recommended.

Local candidates may have , but another agency has poured another $9,500 into the campaign recently, Patch has learned.
A political action committee known as OCTaxPAC has funded two mailers each this month for incumbent Sam Allevato and Planning Commissioner Ginny Kerr, according to the state's Secretary of State website.
The expenditures are dated Oct. 23 and Oct. 26.
OCTaxPAC is the campaigning arm of the Orange County Tax Payers Association. According to the state, among its contributors are the Irvine Co. ($31,500 this year), CJ Segerstrom and Sons ($16,000), Disney resort ($60,500), Cox Communications ($11,000) and Poseidon Resources ($30,000).
Poseidon Resources is seeking to build a desalination plant in Huntington Beach. It's represented in those efforts by Faubel Public Affairs, which has recently hired former Capistrano Dispatch editor Jonathan Volzke. Poseidon, however, is not one of his accounts, he said.
Other races the OCTaxPAC in which is taking an active role include:
- Anaheim City Council
- Santa Margarita Water District
- Measure Z in Huntington Beach
As previously reported, another political action committee known as Citizens for Sensible Development spent $2,514 of money it already had sitting around to put out a mailer opposing candidate Ginny Kerr and incumbent Sam Allevato.
The group was active in opposing the changes proposed for the Distrito-La Novia/Meadows project, but one of the group's early leaders says he hasn't been involved with the group's new direction.

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
UW's new mantra: Knowledge Powers Wisconsin
A majority of Wisconsin taxpayers think keeping tuition low for state residents, providing financial aid for low-income students and maintaining current academic buildings, rather than building new ones, are best uses of taxpaper money, according to a newly released survey.
The survey of 450 residents from across the state suggests that stimulating job growth in local communities should be a top priority for the UW System, according to University of Wisconsin System spokesman David Giroux, who presented the survey findings to the UW System Board of Regents last week.
The UW is developing a new strategic communications plan to brand itself an economic engine for Wisconsin. As part of the branding effort, a survey asked residents what they thought were best uses of taxpayer funds by the UW System, and which aspects of the UW mission they perceived as most beneficial.
Helping people achieve life goals, providing continuing education opportunities for adults, educating Wisconsin residents and stimulating job growth in local communites all ranked ahead of educating people from elsewhere, bringing diverse thinking to communities, elevating Wisconsin's reputation, athletic and sporting events, access to arts and entertainment, and providing social and community events.
Asked the best use of taxpayer funds, building new UW academic buildings was at the bottom of the list for survey participants. Seventy-one percent said maintaining current buildings was the best use of taxpayer funds, while 46% said building new academic buildings was the best use.
The UW's top area for improvement cited by survey partcipants was stimulating job growth in local communities (50%) and attracting new industries to Wisconsin (46%).
UW-Madison Professor Kathy Cramer Walsh found a "pervasive sense of distance" from UW as part of a "broader feeling of disconnection from institutions of authority" when she conducted personal conversations with 36 groups in 27 communities, Giroux told the regents.
When asked what UW should be doing for the community, people responded, "help with jobs," Giroux said.
The UW will focus on sending the message: "UW brings economic strength to your community and your neighbors -- now," Giroux said.
UW's new mantra: "Knowledge Powers Wisconsin."

Really? We turn out more grads with useless degrees than most other schools. You want real change? Get rid of the woman's studies, art history, journalism, Old English lit, etc. There's nothing wrong with taking them as minors, I love history but that isn't what we need! Hard sciences. Math, engineering, chemists, doctors, etc. it's also time to legally hold liable bad counselors. I have a scout graduating with $175k in school debt so, if she can find a job in her career, she can make under $30k per year. It's time for the UW to teach classes for future careers, not just classes to inflate classroom sizes.Hide replies
A scout graduating college? Really? They have Girl Scouts that old???
You would have to go to UW for 10 years insttae to come close to that kind of debt level. Few students have that much debt anywhere and most are doctors. Worth it for them.
911sfan, current full-time student tution at UW-Madison is $5192 per semester. Add in living expenses and your' easily at $40K per year. If a student is able to get the classes they need to graduate within 4 years the total is easily $160K.
$29600 per year in living expenses is some pretty expensive student housing.
This tuition assessment is wildly inaccurate. "Easily at $40k per year" is a completely ridiculous claim. The cost of living, though expensive, is not this much even if you live in the heart of the city in a luxurious studio.
Knowledge powers Wisconsin? Someone ought to tell Scooter.
Understandably, this isn't the mantra of Wisconsin state Republican legislators..nor that of Becky or Scotty...
A meaningful survey whould have forced people to make realistic choices. Not ask for pie in the sky. All of those "desires" have other negative consequences. All people want to have their cake and eat it too.
Higher education reform is needed - separate the research portions of Universities from the teaching portion (Undergrad). Why are kids paying someone that will never teach them - and paying for their sabbaticals, facilities etc?
Make those PhD's earn grants and their tenure instead of raising tuition by 200% every 10 years. Take away tenure from teaching universities.
Thats how we fix this mess.Hide replies
Your misunderstanding of high the UW works is so profound it really is impossible to respond. Put simply, the research grants pay for most of the faculty salaries and they essentially teach for very little in most of the sciences and engineering.
And the only reason tuition has gone up is the funding cuts from the state. Total costs per student has barely gone up at all the last 10 years.
At the rest of the UW schools outside Madison and UWM very little time or money goes to research.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Ernest "Red" Webb and Loene Webb, of Noble, recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary.
The couple exchanged wedding vows April 23, 1949, and lived for many years in Norman before moving to Noble in the mid 1970s.
Red was a "peddler" and sold for Sunshine, Rainbo and lastly for Pepperidge Farm. He retired from selling for Pepperidge Farm and the University of Oklahoma transit, where he drove for Metro transit, and he also retired from the postal training center (NCED), where he was a driver.
Loene worked at and retired from Safeway.
Red and Loene love to spend time outside, mostly in their garden, the flower beds or at the nearest fishing hole. They also enjoy spending time with their extended families, including many children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren.
The couple's children include daughter, Sue and her husband Jim Warnke of Elk City; son, Eddie and his wife Michelle of Nevada; son, David and his wife Jeanne of Norman; and daughter, Jeannie and her husband Gary of Noble. They also have many grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and two great-great grandchildren.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
BLUEFIELD — Click here for video
The city's planning commission has moved one step closer to rezoning a portion of College Avenue.
The eight-member planning commission voted unanimously Wednesday to set a public hearing for Wednesday, Dec. 5 at 3:30 p.m. at the Bluefield Municipal Building. During the hearing residents and property owners on College Avenue will be able to weigh in on whether the street should be changed from a multi-family dwelling zone to a single-family dwelling zone east of Maryland Avenue.
During a discussion of the proposed rezoning, Bluefield Economic Development Director Greg Shrewsbury said the city has received complaints about the decline of College Avenue.
"There has been notable changes in the structures in this area, and there is a trend of houses going up for sale and being transformed into multiple housing units," he said. "It changes the make up of that area. In many cases, you have new landlords that are no longer keen on the upkeep of their property. We have received a number of complaints about property depreciation on College Avenue, and it is a big concern. College Avenue is the heart of Bluefield."
Shrewsbury said the present zoning has led to a decrease in property values in the area.
"Anyone who has multi-family dwellings currently would be grandfathered in under the zoning," he said. "This would only impact future property owners. This is a huge economic development issue for our city. Our citizens should know this is the first step in an effort to combat property depreciation across our city. From an economic development standpoint, this is one of the several areas we want to look out. The city has to be proactive with zoning rather than reactive. Let's change this now so we don't have to worry about it in the future, so some board isn't struggling with this ten years down the road. This is just a simple step. Zoning won't fix all of our issues, but it is one thing we can do."
Mayor Linda Whalen said other areas of the city have seen similar decline.
"This is a big area," she said. "Going with this line of thinking, we are thinking about eliminating all future multi-family dwellings on College Avenue. You look at Union Street and Preston Street, and see we have received so many complaints about the decline and decreased property values in those areas. We see College Avenue headed down the same path. This is another tool in our tool box to prevent College Avenue from declining like so many other areas of our city."
Blaine Braithwaite, president of the South Bluefield Neighborhood Association, told the board he felt there was already zoning in place to prevent multi-family dwellings but that this zoning was not being properly enforced.
"It is proven that converting single-family homes decreases the value of all single-family homes in the city and decreases all taxes collected by the city and county," Braithwaite said. "We want to preserve the equity value in this area, but I'm not sure this is the way to do it. There is already the South Bluefield Historic District, which encompasses College Avenue and gave the zoning board of appeals the ability to deny multi-family dwelling permits in order to preserve the historic district of homes built before 1920 in this area. The rules are there for the city to prevent the proliferation of conversion of these homes, and the rules are on the books allowing the city to enforce regulations in this area. When you get a building permit for the conversion of a multi-family dwelling in this area, we have city codes dating back to 2004 preventing that conversion."
Art Riley, who resides on College Avenue, said he believes the city should do more to enforce current restrictions in the area.
"Since 1945 I have lived in or owned a house on College Avenue," Riley said. "In the last 15 years, a lot of single-family homes have been converted into multi-family homes despite not being big enough for one family. We want to confirm this board's understanding that these homes should not be converted and ask the city to more strictly enforce ordinances we already have. Those who live on College Avenue would like to see a moratorium on the development of multi-family dwellings on the east end of College Avenue."
The following the public hearing in December, the planning commission will vote on whether or not they recommend the city board change the zoning on College Avenue. If the city board choooses to pass the zoning ordinance, property owners will be prevented from constructing or converting current homes into multi-family dwellings.

It's even more à propos than the cartoonist intended. If the woman gets sick, it gets passed onto and hurts the foetus, something the extremists never think about.

I don't think they even care about fetuses.
If you don't believe me, ask someone who's anti-choice what they'd do about ectopic pregnancies. Roughly I% of the time, a blastocyst tries to embed outside the uterus, typically in the fallopian tube but occasionally in the abdominal cavity. It starts automatically drilling into tissue which isn't intended to be drilled into, which not only leads to malnutrition but even with modern hospital care it frequently results in the death of both mother and infant.
There's only one cure, abortion, and not using that cure usually results in the death of two people. To put a number to that, I figure a dozen Canadian women would die every day due to ectopic pregnancies. Faced with this, most anti-choice people concede that the unborn can be killed.
That creates a bit of a problem: how do you permit something you think should never be premitted?
One way that Benson's covered here is to throw up arbitrary boundaries. Say that life must have a heartbeat, refuse to abort anything with a heartbeat, and cover up the corner cases that show how silly that requirement is. Alternatively, invent a moral code called the "principle of double-effect," selectively apply it, and declare they are justified in saying that ripping the unborn from the mother's body and letting it slowly die by depriving it of nutrients is not an "abortion" and therefore ethical.
Another way is.to redefine "abortion" to mean what you want it to mean. I had someone declare that everyone agreed the term "abortion" only referred to medically unneccasry abortions. No amount of counter-examples from medical reports, dictionaries, anti-choice websites, or even their own sentences would cause them to give up the point.
So truth be told, anti-choice people only care about fetuses sometimes. When that care is not politically expedient,, they'll permit the unborn to be killed in gruesome ways.

Can I be a terrible pedant and point out that we ought to be very careful of using language that appears to list a foetus as 'person'? Because we know how eagerly that will be seized on.
Okay, pedantry over.

David Hart @7:

Duly noted, but realize such language is a double-edged sword. Anti-choicers love to use loaded language instead of argument, but that creates problems when your uncompromising position needs to compromise. They talk of the "unborn" and drop all talk of the mother when referring to most abortion, but suddenly obsess over the mother and talk about "hard moral choices" when it comes to ectopics.
By using their loaded language back at them, we use verbal judo to point out their double-standard. Handy, in some contexts, even if it does endorse the foetus = person meme.

Every designer or technician knows that annotating drawings from the model is a time consuming and tedious task.
Keynotes allows you to annotate your drawings quickly and simply with greater accuracy by providing a framework to create a database of notes (or to transfer an existing database) so that notes automatically attach to elements based on their attributes.
You can place a full note without any reference directly on a drawing. Alternatively you can place a reference key on the drawing and then Keynotes compiles a schedule of these notes.
Keynote databases can be imported in Tab-separated or Comma-separated text format.
We are extremely happy with the added value this tool (Keynotes) gives our office.01/04/2014

If you use abbreviations on your projects, then this tool is a must. Everyone knows that abbreviations are only useful if they are consistently correct, this tool gives you that as it accesses an independent database. Which means if you change an abbreviation or descriptor in the database, then all of your drawings will update.John Coglan / 23/01/2008

SecureZIP eBusiness Edition provides upgraded performance, reduced processing times and expanded capabilities for organizations as they transition away from McAfee's E-Business Server. SecureZIP eBusiness Edition is a straightforward, drop-in replacement for McAfee E-Business Server. SecureZIP eBusiness Edition provides a range of options for data-centric security and native use on various mainframe and server environments.
As part of daily business, the Company used McAfee® E-Business Server, which supports PGP encryption, to exchange sensitive data including insurance claims, Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and medical treatment history of customers with over 300 partners. In 2012, McAfee publicized the End-of-Life of its McAfee E-Business Server enterprise encryption product. At the time, there was no option for continued support for McAfee E-Business Server. In addition, lengthy CPU and elapsed encryption times for exchanging data with partners were resulting in missed SLAs and associated fines. The Company chose PKWARE SecureZIP eBusiness Edition to replace McAfee E-Business Server because it reduced CPU times and costs while improving encryption capabilities. Secure data transmissions between the Company and its 300+ customers and partners are happening on a 24x7 basis, minimizing the risk of a breach and non-compliance. The Company is now able to reduce data storage usage and ensure faster delivery times to partners than when they were using McAfee E-Business Server.
*Comparison performed on IBM zEEC12 model 708 with 2 zIIP engines running SecureZIP for z/OS v15 and McAfee E-Business Server for z/OS v7.5 on a 2GB binary file.

Sarah Childress Polk
Source: The Library of Congress
On January 1, 1824, James Polk married fellow Tennessean, Sarah Childress. Partly due to the fact that the pair never had children, Mrs. Polk took an active role in her husband's political career. As First Lady, she fulfilled her ceremonial duties, but was far more interested in political affairs. Known for her intellect, devotion, and morality, Sarah Polk was well respected as First Lady.

For no-budget cinema, the single location is a godsend. Set a movie entirely or mostly in one spot — one room, even — and you jussssst might be able to afford to put your thinly veiled autobiographical story onto film (OK, technically video). Such is the case for two new indie offerings: Drinking Games and From the Head.

If you think the music video is a dying art form, you haven't being paying attention. Sure, it has probably been a good decade or so since MTV has shown one, and if a Top 40 track does get the video treatment, it's usually not the most artistic visual representation.
