I've tried a few experiments on my own but nothing works.
I've tried a few experiments on my own but nothing works.
Do you mean the actual content of your pages?
If so you can use the Improved Include Page plugin.
If you just want a list of your pages you can use the wp_list_pages function
I used this code
wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&title_li='); ?>
it works just like I wanted it to, the pages appear in the sidebar but they still appear in the navigation bar, is there something that can make it so they just appear in the sidebar?
It depends on your template. But, you'll probably find a similar piece of code in your navigation bar php file (or in 'header.php') which you can remove.
Yup, turns out I was deleting <div> during my 'experiments' and that's why my site would get scrambled, now I have it all under control, thanks.

Hey Travis,
Latest update is bueno! A couple of things I noticed:
I'm using Genesis Featured Widget Amplified in my sidebar to show 1 blog post (see heading in right sidebar "Latest from the Blog" on my CPTs Archive page: http://fortworthretail.org/dev/local-business/fowo_business/)
On every other page, I get the expected single blog post, however on my CPTs Archive page, I'm getting a laundry list of posts. It's not a a big deal, but thought I'd let you know.
Also, in my Plugin admin page where it has a link to "Visit Plugin site" for your plugin, the link goes to a 404 on your site. Doh!
I hate to even bring up the bugs when there's so much that's awesome. :)

ex-S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 devs show off Survarium gameplay screens
Survarium is the new MMO shooter from ex-S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 devs Vostok Games. The studio released these shots at the start of October, and in all fairness we missed them at the time, but decided to post them anyway as they're a wee bit special. Check them out below.
Vostok Games is comprised of ex-GSC Game World employees, and their first project is free-to-play shooter Survarium. The studio has released a series of dev diaries that shed light on the project. Check out the most recent one here.
Survarium is a free-to-play MMOFPS set in the near future, after what the studio calls a "mass- scale ecological catastrophe on Earth, the reasons behind vaguely known."
The most recent gameplay screens from the studio show some of the interiors in the game, specifically a hollowed-out school. Check them out below.

âGreen Arrowâ #4 is made up of two halves that seemingly have nothing to do with one another besides location and the title character appearing in both. More than that, itâs like two different stories were crammed together with all of the meaningful and interesting parts left out. Context and content? Who needs those! Certainly not this comic where events happen without any reason thatâs apparent. Itâs a perfect example of the âYeah. And. So. What?â comic where thatâs the response you have after reading it. Yes, I read âGreen Arrowâ #4, but so what? Where was the reason why anyone should?
The first half of the comic has the Martian Manhunter arrive in the Star City forest for some nonsensical reason thatâs never properly explained, lose control of himself, attach himself to a tree with a White Lantern symbol on it, and proceed to kill the forest somehow. Green Arrow stops him, takes him out of the forest, they both go, âWow, that was really weird!â and Jâonn flies away. What weâre supposed to take out of this is that the White Lantern tree is special, because a tree with a glowing White Lantern symbol on it doesnât scream âfuture plot pointâ on its own, it needs build up that tells us nothing except that, yes, this tree is special and what it means will be demonstrated at some unspecified point in the future.
Maybe if there was any follow-up, the first half of the comic wouldnât come off so poorly, but thereâs not. The comic shifts gears to Green Arrow getting involved in a scene out of 1968 Chicago with a demonstration/protest getting busted up, leading Ollie to helping out Mary, the main agitator and fighting the Man. Again, whatâs missing here is context and follow-through. This scene doesnât flow from what came before at all. Itâs like Ollie is just wandering around Star City, getting involved in whatever is going down and moving on without much thought. There is, at least, the laughable idea that Oliver Queenâs main bad guy is a woman called the Queen.
Diogenes Nevesâ art veers wildly between cluttered, overcomplicated panel compositions and finely detailed figures that look nice but are incredibly static. Worse than that, much of the time, figures are completely divorced from their backgrounds, looking placed onto the art without any thought of how they actually fit into their surroundings. When Neves is on and Ulises Arreolaâs colors work, the pages look quite stunning. The use of green as the centerpiece of the comic is effective and Neves is good at putting Ollie in the right spot in his compositions so that the art revolves around him. Green Arrow often looks very good, but other characters look oddly formed or less polished at times.
Given the proper focus or time, the plots in âGreen Arrowâ #4 could possibly be engaging and interesting, but neither are given the chance. Theyâre fragments of nonsense where even the characters shrug and wonder what just happened before walking away, content that the mystery will solve itself some day. Not the best way to create interest or interesting, good comics.

the calm before the storm
Another gem of a campground on the trek, again with a 360 panorama view of peaks, including the 3750m pass you will have to cross in the morning.
Unique Qualities: We relaxed the most at this site as the weather was warm and sunny. I even went down to a stream and did a quick (and cold) wash up. The skull on a huge bolder was the perfect foreground for a few photos.
Directions: A relativel short ridge walk after you drop from the Alpamayo Base Camp. It would be easier without the driving rain in your face though!
Theme: Campground
a true paradise, alpamayo base camp
Though not directly on the Santa Cruz Trek, it is well worth the extra effort to climb up to the base camp for technical climbs of one of Peru's most gorgeous peaks, Alpamayo.
Unique Qualities: From the campground, you can look down into the tail end of the Quebrada Santa Cruz and if you are lucky, watch the setting sun on the stunning peaks. We had a great spot with a huge tree for protection and a man made stone wind break for cooking. In the morning, pack up your gear, hide it, and head up to the calving glacier a half hour further up the trail.
Theme: Campground
llama coral
Llama Coral was just that, a big stone enclosure used to pen up llamas.
Unique Qualities: The stone fences gave you some relief from the whipping winds up the valley and there were pit toilets too. Add to that the fantastic views of jagged peaks in all directions and you have one nice place to bed down for the night.
Directions: About eight kilometers and maybe a thousand meters up from Cashapampa (trailhead).
Theme: Campground

Films about war
War Matters
War Matters chronicles a decade of anti-war protest in Britain through the story of veteran peace campaigner Brian Haw, who camped in Parliament Square for over 10 years in protest against the UK government's policies in the Middle East. Brian began his campaign against war on 2nd June 2001, initially in protest of the sanctions against Iraq. After the September 11 attacks in the United States later on that year, Brian's campaign took on a whole new level of importance. War Matters documents this shift by examining the larger issue of the British arms trade and the repercussions of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars around the world, as civil rights are being curtailed in so-called democracies. Where does democracy end and tyranny begin?
A secret illegal project from the 1950s, 60s and 70s called COINTELPRO, represents the state's strategy to prevent resistance movements and communities from achieving their ends of racial justice, social equality and human rights. The program was mandated by the United States' FBI, formally inscribing a conspiracy to destroy social movements, as well as mount institutionalised attacks against allies of such movements and other key organisations. Some of the goals were to disrupt, divide, and destroy movements, as well as instilling paranoia, manipulation by surveillance, imprisonment, and even outright murder of key figures of movements and other people. Many of the government's crimes are still unknown. Through interviews with activists who experienced these abuses first-hand, COINTELPRO 101 opens the door to understanding this history, with the intended audience being the generations that did not experience the social justice movements of the 60s and 70s; where illegal surveillance, disruption, and outright murder committed by the government was rampant and rapacious. This film stands to provide an educational introduction to a period of intense repression, to draw many relevant and important lessons for the present and the future of social justice.
Bitter Lake
Bitter Lake explores how the realpolitik of the West has converged on a mirror image of itself throughout the Middle-East over the past decades, and how the story of this has become so obfuscating and simplified that we, the public, have been left in a bewildered and confused state. The narrative traverses the United States, Britain, Russia and Saudi Arabia—but the country at the centre of reflection is Afghanistan. Because Afghanistan is the place that has confronted political figureheads across the West with the truth of their delusions—that they cannot understand what is going on any longer inside the systems they have built which do not account for the real world. Bitter Lake sets out to reveal the forces that over the past thirty years, rose up and commandeered those political systems into subservience, to which, as we see now, the highly destructive stories told by those in power, are inexorably bound to. The stories are not only half-truths, but they have monumental consequences in the real world.
This film makes use of court documents, diplomatic cables and testimony by business figures themselves, as one case of many, in which corporations and indeed governments side with warlords, as good for business, in the endless pursuit of profit. The story revolves around the civil war of Liberia in the 1990s, with the seeds for exploitation and destruction having been planted a century before by the United States, when formally enslaved peoples in Liberia in-turn set up a society of racism, greed and exploitation, exacerbated by western economic powers. Years later, with the presence of Firestone corporation coming to Liberia to exploit vast plantations of rubber for control over the 'market,' the company unfolds as a considerable catalyst for systemic terror, being the forefront for pushing for profits at all costs amongst a brutal civil war; colluding with warlords and corrupt governments in pursuit of this ruthless end. Unfurling as a case study in these methods, this film documents the case that is not so unique but a story amongst many—particularly throughout the so-called third-world—where corporate might and globalisation have extreme consequences…
Not Anymore: A Story of Revolution is a short film about the Syrian struggle for freedom as experienced by a 32 year old rebel commander, Mowya; and a 24 year old female journalist, Nour; in Aleppo, Syria. The film shows why Syrians are fighting for their freedom, told through the emotional words of two powerful characters whose lives have been torn apart by war.
Counter-Intelligence is a 5 part series that explores in-depth, the vast, sprawling and secret National Security State that operates throughout the United States–and indeed the world. The series examines the foundations of the Military-Industrial-Intelligence Complex, charting through to the myriad consequences in today's world where secret intelligence organisations continue to hijack governments, manipulate elections and commit heinous crimes against humanity–all under the cloak of "National Security". In the wake of the continued revelations of the NSA PRISM program, this series is now more important than ever to provide a solid historical context to the workings of the rapacious and ever-expanding National Security State…
Obey is a video essay based on the book "Death of the Liberal Class" by author and journalist Chris Hedges. The film charts the rise of corporatocracy and examines the trending possible futures of obedience in a world of unfettered capitalism, globalisation, staggering inequality and environmental crisis — posing the question, do we resist or obey?
Subconscious War is a video essay exploring the influences of media and the culture of violence on reality, and the cultivation of collective values in society. The film contrasts the writings of Aldous Huxley and Neil Postman's grim assessments; relating the concepts of works such as 'Brave New World' and 'Amusing Ourselves to Death' to the current cultural influences that foster today–corporate media and indeed media saturation, video games, television, and a pervasive technoculture, for example. What is being created? And what sort of people are being cultivated by this culture? Who benefits?
Over the past decade, the United States military has shifted the way it fights its wars, deploying more technological systems in the battlefield than human forces. Today there are more than 7,000 drones and 12,000 ground robots in use by all branches of the military. These systems mean less deaths for US troops, but increased killings and precision elsewhere for the United States war machine. With lethal drone strikes being carried out in secret by the CIA and occurring outside of officially declared war zones such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, the secret use of robots and drones in this way evokes serious questions about the operations of the United States and what this means for the rest of the world as more and more autonomy is developed for these technologies.
We is a visual essay exploring the politics of empire, war, corporate globalisation, imperialism and history; using the words of Indian author and political activist Arundhati Roy, from her speech Come September given in Santa Fe, New Mexico one year after the September 11th attacks–not long after the invasion of Afghanistan. The result is a mix of archive footage illustrating specific historical events throughout South America, the Middle East and elsewhere, in context with the September 11th attacks; placed alongside the themes of empire, global economics and a short history of neo-collonialism…
Just as mobile phones and wireless capability dramatically changed the way technology interacts with modern society, drones–or 'Unmanned Aerial Vehicles'–are set to become the next major influence in technocratic life, directly impacting and seriously expanding the already extensive capabilities of surveillance. Rise Of The Machines takes a look at already developed drone technology and how governments, military and even civilians are rushing to adopt the gadgets which can be purchased off the shelf for just a few hundred dollars and controlled by already existing smart phones. So what will a world of drones look like? And what of the many, serious, unexplored implications on how society will function in a world of drones?
The Power Principle is a series of films examining the history of the United States and the building of its empire with particular emphasis on the last seventy years of United States foreign policy. The methods that make empire possible are also examined—the politics of fear, the rise of public relations, the 'Mafia Principle' and the reoccurring use of fabled enemies, contrasting the Soviet Union and the Cold War alongside the parallels of today with the "War On Terror". Not only does The Power Principle tie together historical events to revive a common thread, the series may also encourage viewers to reconsider their understanding of historical events and the portrayal of them, showing how those in power play a role in manipulating the collective memory through generations.
Robot Wars
Robot Wars visits companies in the United States that are producing robots for the military to disarm bombs, fly unmanned aircraft (drones), withstand repeated attacks and even choose targets and fire without any human intervention. The rapid development of autonomous robots and the use of them right now is surging ahead at a crazy rate, all with little regard to ethical and psychological questions, concerns about technological privilege and other obvious impacts. With military robots currently being operated using video game controllers, is the line being blurred between fantasy and reality?
Modern society loves mobile phones — the selection between different models and gadgets has never been bigger. But the production of this technology has a hidden, dark, bloody side. The main minerals used to produce mobile phones are coming from the mines in the Eastern DR Congo. The Western World is buying these minerals up at a furious rate, financing a bloody civil war which, during the last 15 years, has cost the lives of more than 5 million people. Blood In The Mobile explains the connections between mobile phones and the civil war in the Congo, while technology corporations whitewash the issue to "supply and demand" and claim ignorance…
War is hell, but for Hollywood it has been a god-send, providing the perfect dramatic setting against which courageous heroes win the hearts and minds of the movie going public. The Pentagon recognises the power of these celluloid dreams and encourages Hollywood to create heroic myths; to rewrite history to suit its own strategy and as a recruiting tool to provide a steady flow of willing young patriots for its wars…
The Most Dangerous Man In America
In 1971, Daniel Ellsberg shook the United States to its foundations when he leaked top-secret Pentagon documents to the New York Times that showed how five Presidents consistently lied about the Vietnam War. Consequently, National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger called Ellsberg "the most dangerous man in America," who "had to be stopped at all costs." But Ellsberg wasn't stopped. Facing 115 years in prison on espionage and conspiracy charges, he fought back…
In the 1960s and 70s, the polarisation of the political situation in the United States was becoming acute with the Vietnam War abroad and civil rights at home being but the most obvious issues. For the youth political movement, the futile methods of peaceful protest led to the rise of an idealistic faction that undertook a more extreme approach to resistance. This faction, called the Weather Underground, attempted to team up with the Black Panthers to overthrow the US government—starting with street riots, escalating to bombing government targets. Thorough archival footage and interviews of the veterans of both sides, this film covers the movement, until changing times and disillusionment brought it to an end, alongside the FBI employing an illegal series of projects called COINTELPRO to hasten it…
Sri Lanka's Killing Fields is an investigative two part series about the final weeks of the quarter-century-long civil war in Sri Lanka. The films are made and broadcast as UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon faces growing criticism for refusing to launch an investigation into 'credible allegations' that Sri Lankan forces committed war crimes during the the bloody conflict with the rebel group, the Tamil Tigers. With disturbing and distressing descriptions and film of executions, atrocities and the shelling of civilians; the programmes show and investigate devastating video evidence of war crimes—some of the most horrific footage of war ever captured.
Militainment Inc. examines how news coverage of war in the United States has come to resemble Hollywood film, video games, and reality television in its portrayal of war as entertainment. Using a range of media examples–from news anchors' idolatry of military machinery to the impact of government propaganda on war reporting–Militainment Inc. asks: How has war taken its place as a spectacle of entertainment? And how does presenting war as entertainment affect the ability of the population to evaluate the real human costs of this culture's military-industrial-complex?
The Pentagon has a long tradition of cooperation with Hollywood. Movie studios can save millions of dollars and achieve spectacular success by securing use of military stock footage, military equipment, weapons and manpower. But the catch is that Hollywood must alter scripts, whitewash history, censor and present their films to display war and the military in a favourable way. As a consequence, mainstream commercial films become the best and most powerful, widespread propaganda…
60 years after the United States dropped nuclear weapons on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan, the events are still espoused with denial and myth in histories taught by the west. White Light, Black Rain breaks this acquiescence and accounts the bombings from the point of view of the people who were there, speaking with survivors of the attacks and four American military men that were intimately involved in dropping the bombs. The film intimately details the human costs of warfare and stands as a powerful warning that with enough present-day nuclear weapons worldwide to equal 400,000 Hiroshimas, we cannot afford to forget what really happened with these events.
Between 1964 and 1973 the United States conducted a secret war in Laos — dropping over 2 million tons of bombs, making it the most heavily bombed country in history. Millions of 'cluster bombs' did not explode when dropped, leaving the country massively contaminated with "bombies" which are as dangerous now from when they fell over 30 years ago. Bombies documents unexploded cluster bombs through the personal experiences of a group of Laotians and foreigners who go about dismantling the bombs. These weapons are still a standard part of the United States military arsenal and were recently dropped in Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq…
Sir! NO Sir!
Sir! NO Sir! tells the story of how–from the very start of the war, such as with the Green Berets–there was resentment within the ranks over the difference between the war in Vietnam and (as persons state in the film) the "good wars" that their fathers had fought. In the beginning some simply left the military as individuals, though over time, it became apparent that so many were opposed to the war that they could speak of a movement — which over time eventually made the military almost inoperable…
American Radical is a film about the life of academic Norman Finkelstein, a son of Holocaust survivors and ardent critic of Israel. Called a lunatic and self-hating Jew by some, and an inspirational figure by others, American Radical also serves to explore the issues at the centre of Palestine and Israel as Finkelstein travels around the world negotiating a voice of realism among impassioned critics and Israeli supporters. Uncompromising, even in the face of a denial of tenure at DePaul University, Finkelstein is revealed as a rare academic figure who puts the pursuit of justice above the security of his career, to expose the brutal reality of the occupation of Palestine.
More than three million Vietnamese people still suffer the gruelling effects of chemical weapons used by the United States during the Vietnam War. American militaries doused forests, lands and waterways of Vietnam with the deadly chemicals Agent Orange, White, Blue, Pink, Green and Purple. Agent Orange in particular, which contains dioxin—the most toxic chemical ever known—has disabled countless people and generations of their offspring. This film weaves personal stories together with the stories of American GIs to lead to a great unravelling of the first-hand devastating and lethal effects of Agent Orange and war, generations later.
Enemy Image
Enemy Image overviews the history of the portrayal of war in television news from the perspective of the United States. The film starts with the coverage of Vietnam where reports happened with little supervision, control or interference. Following this, The Pentagon takes action to control access by journalists to battle areas in subsequent invasions–such as the Invasion of Grenada, where journalists were excluded completely–to the first Gulf War, where 'news packages' were provided directly from the military; to the embedded churnalism of the invasion of Iraq. Shown is the progressive tightening of control by the US military on the contact journalists have with soldiers and civilians in the war zone, in order that "never again will television raise the moral and political questions that face a people during war."
Reaching into the Orwellian memory hole, War Made Easy exposes the some 50-year pattern of government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. Using archival footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George Bush, this film reveals how the American news media have uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive governments — paying special attention to the parallels between the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq…
They brought us war in Iraq, the promotion of "American global leadership," pre-emptive strikes; the "spreading of Democracy." This is the Project for the New American Century. But what do the hawks in Washington have in store for the world now? The War Party investigates this group of beurocrats responsible for the Project for the New American Century, called the neo-conservatives. This interconnected, dispersed group are running the White House in concert of the Bush years and family dynasty. Is it surprising how little has changed?
On 8th August 1945, the United States dropped its second atomic bomb on Nagasaki, Japan, three days after the bombing of Hiroshima. The city was a veritable apocalyptic vision, devastated by this new type of weapon. Nagasaki — The Horror Of Fat Man documents the memories of survivors, both Japanese civilians and Western Prisoners Of War, as they relate the morbid aftermath of the bombings, the United States occupation, and the segregation that still effects fallout victims to this day.
For the people of Vietnam, war is not over. Three generations on from 1975, babies are still being born with serious birth defects and genetic abnormalities — the legacy of the United States intensive use of chemical weapons. To this day, it is still unknown just how many have been affected. In 2005, on the eve of a historic lawsuit to determine the culpability of the United States, this film directly portrays the powerful effects of Agent Orange.
US Foreign Policy — The War Against The Third World is a video compilation series of 10 segments about CIA covert operations and military interventions since World War II.
For many years now the American foreign policy has been characterized by the strong tie between the United States and Israel. Does the United States in fact keep Israel on its feet? And how long will it continue to do so?

Reload the page and try again.
Party Scene:
Mill Ave. Mill avenue has lots of clubs/bars to go to, and it is right next to the campus. Scottsdale is about a 10 minute drive away where there is lots of 21+ clubs.
Off-Campus Housing:
Apartments around ASU are very cheap, ranging from 250-500 for a room/studio. Lots of complexes all over Northern Tempe near campus.
Regularly stays above 100 degrees during the summer, but it's dry heat, meaning you wont constantly have a layer of sweat on you. Almost always clear, sunny skies for plenty of outdoor activities.
Workload and Homework – Information in classes can be a lot to keep track of. All you have to is find a way to stay organized yourself. If you are not understanding material in class set up a appointment with your professor. They are usually pretty understanding and helpful if you have the time. Try your best and you shall succeed.
The weather at ASU is gorgeous except for the few times when it rains. It doesn't often, but when it does rain it pours. Pack rain boots.
Campus Housing:
Commuting to School. Driving from a semi-local distance can be difficult with traffic. As long as you plan ahead before your classes are scheduled you should be just fine. The parking is very tight and I recommend to not park in the corners or you risk your car being hit. Commuting saves more money but not time.
Campus Housing:
If You're in the Arts Prepare for the Subpar – What college your major falls under determines the dorms you live in, and some of the dorms are not especially nice. Specifically for the students in the college of design and the arts. They are the only dorms on campus that have communal bathrooms which at first can be treated as a rite of passage, but after a while can become a hindrance. Plus on campus housing is much more expensive than living off campus.
Greek Life:
Greek Life is present at ASU; however, there is no pressure to join. They hardly the run the social scene and are usually only noticed because of their matching bags, shirts, etc.
Local Area:
Plenty of Events – There are always local events like art walks and First Fridays to enjoy.
Campus Housing:
Very Good Experience for Some – Most peoples freshman year dorm experiences are good. Problem is it cost an arm and a leg for no reason but the fact that the university wants money.Honors students are required to commit to two years of dorm life and it costs more than the rest of the students. So it's kinda ridiculous.Most people try to just find apartments as soon as they can.
Mostly Good – The RA's in your hall really don't care whether you break the rules or not at all.The police on the other hand can be arrest-happy, but honestly ASU deserves it most of the time. I think they do the best they can.
Campus Food:
Good Food for Hungry College Students – I used to love walking into the Campus Grill at west campus. The hamburgers always smelled soo good. The food is reasonably priced, but it is above average quality for most cafeterias.
Health & Safety:
I have gotten a citation from a bike officer for driving left of the median at 1230 in the morning. It was so embarassing for me, but I made a mistake. I would like to see more officers, but the ones I have seen are very professional. I am always a person who stays aware of my surroundings, but it is nice to have someone else watching my back.
Overall Experience:
An Expanding Educational Powerhouse – Overall, my experience with ASU has been a positive one. I was going to the West campus for about a year and a half and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the small campus atmosphere and how close it was to home. It has definitely grown in the last few years, and is expanding to meet the needs of even more students. The tuition when I started was very affordable and I was able to get financial aid easily. I then started working and had to cut back on hours. I eventually stopped going, but I would very much like to return to this fine institution to complete my goal of getting a bachelors degree.
I have always seen the ASU busses running up and down Thunderbird from the West campus, it seems like a valuable form of transportation for many students who have classes at different campuses. I have never needed to ride one as of yet, but they seem very nice and look very comfortable for those who do utilize them.
Overall Experience:
Arizona State has been the best choice I have made in my life. With winters that feel like summer how could you go wrong. I have met so many great people here that I know I will keep in touch with forever. It is located in a beautiful desert with cactus and palm trees all around. Not only is ASU knonw for their Nightlife we are also known for Academic Integrity. Not a bad school if you are looking for a great education that goes hand and hand with entertainment.
Party Scene:
Arizona State has quality night life. Located close to Mill Avenue where shopping, clubs, bars and restaurants are on every corner. Arizona State has been known on the Party School list and can be fun for any student. Even if partying isnt your scene there are plenty of other fun activities like bowling, hiking, bike riding and movie theatres located close to campus. ASU has never let me down in the Nightlife category.
Labs Are Quiet – The computer labs at Arizona State are nice and quiet. Sure here and there you may hear a few loud noises but nothing to fret about. Finals times are serious at ASU so the library and computer labs become packed. Most students I have found study in groups so that it still seems somewhat fun. There are plenty of computers on campus so there is no need to worry about finding one or a spot to study with friends.
Greek Life:
Greek Life is somewhat of a big deal at Arizona State University. I myself am not in a sorority but see girls all over campus representing for them. I have had an amazing college experience without being in a Sorority. I joined a club team so while it does not dominate the campus it is equally an important part to Arizona State.
Campus Housing:
ASU offers housing to anyone and everyone! I think its an amazing idea to live on campus your first year, its gets you involved no matter what! Living in a new environment is good for anyone, and you meet so many new and interesting people. The cost can be a burden but you are paying the convenience; living at your school allows you to get to know your school a lot better then you would living off campus.
I have used multiple computer labs at ASU on several of the campuses and they always had up-to-date technology! Many locations offer printing at a reasonable price and if sometimes separate communities offer free printing. The ASU website tends to have its ups and downs but professors are usually very understanding about it. Its always nice to have your own computer to use on your own time but if you cannot afford to purchase one, ASU has many helpful resources!
The diversity at ASU is extremely....diverse! There are so many different individuals that attend ASU. You will meet so many wonderfully unique people on a daily basis no matter what campus you visit.
Health & Safety:
Very Worrisome – ASU's camp is very nice and feels fairly safe during the day. However, all around the campus is a very bad area. There are homeless people everywhere that make me feel very uncomfortable. In the evening you have to worry about homeless people in the libraries and other buildings. I think that campus security should try harder to keep the homeless population off of the campus.
Campus Quality:
I'm Enrolled – this is the first time that i'm going to this school, and i'm hoping a lot from that school
Campus Quality:
I really think that the facilities are very clean. i was there on summer, that is why it was kind of quiet
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Arizona State is like no other university in the country. With a large, vibrant, and exciting student body that truly makes the campus unique, there is no arguing that ASU is by any means a boring place to be for the next four years of your life. As soon as you step onto ASU's campus, you will feel the immense amount of positive and exciting energy that gives you sense of belonging. Even though there are so many students around campus, you will be sure to find a niche to call your own. College is the time to find yourself and truly learn who you are as you prepare for the real world. ASU provides the perfect environment to challenge you to make "adult" decisions, and you won't always, but by the end of it all, you will mature into a dedicated individual!
Even though students will struggle with all-nighters, sports practice, parking tickets, and trying to recover from a great night, many of them couldn't ask for anything else. There will be times that you are drowning in homework and studying, but by the end of it all, you will look back and laugh. Your peers help you get through the tough times and make those social outings even more fun. ASU knows how to party hard, but when it comes to crunch time, we pull it off well. The kids here know how to have a great time, the nightlife and social settings are extremely fun, the academics are quite challenging—especially when you apply yourself and take it seriously—but most importantly, students will leave prepared for post-graduation and taking on the world. ASU is a fantastic place to meet new people and a great way to experience life in the great southwest. But don't take my word for it—come on out and experience it for yourself!

Amazon.com Review
Porter is often unconventional and asserts that businessmen must be, too. In his essay "Green and Competitive," he shows little sympathy for businesses that complain about environmental regulations. Rules to protect the environment don't have to strangle companies--they can actually improve productivity with the right attitude and approach. Rhone-Poulenc, a French chemical and drug company, proved this when it stopped incinerating a certain byproduct and began selling it as an additive for dyes and tanning. Readable and provocative, On Competition is vital for business, government, and financial leaders as well as small-business people and investors. --Dan Ring

Today I tried to upload a JPG image to my blog and I got the following error:
"File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini."
The file I tried to upload wasn't that large, and I've never gotten this error before so I'm confused as to why this is all of the sudden happening. I contacted Godaddy and they said it was a WordPress issue and couldn't help me.
By the way, I checked PHP.ini and my uploads are not disabled, and my max post size is 8MB. The image I'm trying to upload is only about 45KB, so I don't think php.ini is the problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I am EBF with solids since 6 mo, and my milk suplly has been suffering since the holidays, a bout with a clogged duct, and now a couple of colds.
My husband is out of town this weekend and I have no plans, so I would like to spend the entire weekend trying to get my supply back up.
Do any of you who pump, or pump exclusively have a schedule (frequency and length of pumping sessions) that works for you when you need to increase your supply? I will also nurse as much as possible, but I want to pump in between nursing if I can.
Currently I am pumping up to four times at work (in 7 hours!) and still not getting the 10 oz I need for LOs daycare bottles... I am trying to make it to one year plus.

Now some good news on trade (at least for India)…
While global trade has been dropping and is likely to continue to do so—the World Bank predicts a 6.1% global decline in 2009—trade in information technology services is holding up pretty well. That's helping to buck up India's economy, say two World Bank economists.
Looking at U.S. imports, Ingo Borchert and Aaditya Mattoo said that goods imports were down by 26% in January, compared to a year earlier, but imports of a range of business, professional and technical services were up by 7%. That was good news for India, which specializes in exporting such services, but bad news for Brazil China and Africa, which are big goods exporters.
Indeed, employment in the Indian computers services businesses is expected to grow by about 100,000 jobs this year, or 5% of employment in the sector, although that's a slower rate of increase than the Indian IT sector is used to.
Overall, the researchers report, Indian exports of computer services were up around 16% in fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, compared to the prior year. In fiscal 2009, the researchers expect "no significant growth" and then around 15% annual growth for the following two years. Over first half of this decade, Indian computer service exports grew at around 30% a year and totaled about $40 billion in fiscal 2008.
Why is computer-service trade holding up? Demand for traded services is less cyclical than for goods, they said. Many computer services are delivered digitally or by dispatching Indian software workers overseas, both of which are low-cost and don't require trade financing. Many Indian computer firms also have little debt and can finance themselves from retained earnings.
Still, problems may lurk, especially if the U.S. customers turn against overseas outsourcing because of nationalist pressure. "A bigger problem than any explicit (trade) restrictions is the general mood of protectionism in crisis-hit countries, particularly in the U.S.," they argue.

Owen Dodson Papers
Owen Dodson was a poet, playwright, and director; he was also an influential teacher at Howard University and a leader in the African American theater community. After serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, he wrote a verse play about an African American navy hero, The Ballad of Dorrie Miller (1943). The next year his African American history pageant New World A-Coming was performed at New York City's Madison Square Garden in conjunction with the Negro Freedom Rally. His first collection of poems, Powerful Long Ladder, was published in 1946.
The Owen Dodson Papers include correspondence with writers and editors, such as Langston Hughes, Margaret Anderson, and Ralph Ellison. The collection also includes manuscripts of many of Dodson's important poems and plays, including New World A-Coming, Divine Comedy, and Bayou Legend.
A detailed description of the collection is available on line: Owen Dodson Papers; additional uncataloged materials are described briefly in the the Library's Uncataloged Acquisitions Database: Owen Dodson Papers Addition.
Related manuscript collections in the Beinecke Library include: the Langston Hughes Papers; the James Weldon Johnson Correspondence Files; the Richard Wright Papers, and the Carl Van Vechten Correspondence Files.
Additional materials relating to Owen Dodson may be found in the Library's Finding Aid Database; recently acquired materials may be found by searching the Library's Uncataloged Acquisitions Database. Books by Owen Dodson in the Yale University libraries can be located by searching Orbis, the library catalog.

I am using Exchange Online and Outlook 2010 with a very high email volume and a big Inbox. I am already using colored categories and filtering of distribution lists into special folders. I am also assigning different lifetimes to folders etc. Still my productivity (emails worked on / time interval) and reliability (not overlooking stuf) could be better.
I have identified three problems with my current setup:
I am missing the "sorted Inbox" offered by Gmail. In short, the function tried to highlight individual emails (as opposed to bulk email) or emails by people who I often respond to. By looking at email classified as important by this logic, I could often find Email that I simply overlooked.
The Inbox is already very large. It would be a waste of time to try to sort it completely, but it would help a lot if I could sort it not only by sender, but also by the number of emails by this sender. This would allow me to quickly reduce the total number of emails in my Inbox and delete a lot of outdated stuff.
When answering emails it is often useful to immediately see all the conversation with this person. For important stuff, I have my CRM connected to Outlook, but for the day-to-day stuff I used to use Xobni for this. But Xobni became more and more ressource intensive, did not properly support my language and was in my view focussed on connecting with social networks (which I do not want to use). Is there a lightweight-alternative to Xobni, that does not build a full-text index of all email?

I was not impressed with the greasy breakfast and rude service. That waitress with the big tits was so rude and off-putting. We asked her what she recommends off of their menu and said "I don't give recommendations." Well I recommend a better attitude, better food and downside the implant size of your monstrous boobs. I'm glad this crappy joint is leaving!
I haven't been this underwhelmed by a new restaurant since El Super Overpriced Pan debuted.
The only thing getting me to ClusterFuckhead is Umi.
You missed the donut listed in the top 1,000 things to eat before you die! The orange dream star at Sublime!! My gf is a chef and that was her favorite donut in the world before a gluten allergy won out. Some of them you did hit correctly....
Where is Dough in the Box? This list is weak without that location.
Boo! My family and I used to eat Sunday brunch there. I remember when it opened.
Omg, glad to find this thread. I was a waiter for 12 years and have not waited tables since 1989!
The last week I have had two very detailed in the weeds dreams. Like other people said I could draw the layout and what was happening. These dreams are draining and when I wake up I am left with that horrible feeling when you cannot get the task you needed accomplished.
You should try a glazed donut from the original Sarah donuts (Sara donuts) on Satallite in Suwanee. If you think a glazed donut is good at Norcross, you will be blown away with the original glaze there.
One doughnut from each shop is definitely a weird way to do this Smackdown. It made some sense when you were looking at pizzas, but I'm not sure this format makes much sense for something as cheap and easily shared as donuts.
This is an affront to the esteemed field of doughnut science, and it will not go unchallenged. Be forewarned, I will be submitting a scathing editorial to Circular & Fried: The Journal of the Southeastern American Doughnut Society.
"vegan goodness" -- oxymoron of the day.
Doughnuts are the new cupcakes are the new popcorn are the new popsicles.
I agree with both posters - they're frickin donuts! And as far as the low score for Revolution, tell that to the donut-junkie throngs that line up each morning to get a taste...maybe there's something else in them donuts, eh? Nope, just vegan goodness !
Great post, but you forgot Dutch Monkey!
I give you an Incomplete on this assignment. Where is Dutch Monkey donuts?
You guys have some major sticks up your butt. They're donuts. You're reviewing donuts. These aren't 5 star restaurants...
How can you do this to me first thing in the morning?!!! That sunflower looks bangin'!
I like the "idea" of asking for the best seller or the most popular, but that doesn't always work. I can think of 10 better donuts at Revolution that are better than their sliders. I'm sure that can be said for most of the donuts shops number 2-12. That being said, i'm really just jealous of the research you did!
The "meal" in the photo is a steal at $64.50.
Things are really sizzling down at the Cock 'n' Balls!
The "Cokentrice" just rolls off the tongue.
It's not just about the welfare of the animal prior to it's demise - but about the healthfulness of the environment it's been raised in. Feedlots and chicken houses are often woefully overcrowded, which can lead to a multitude of health issues. Due to these health conditions, antibiotics are often heavily administered (in fact most feeds automatically include them, how handy) - but that's a whole other issue. I worked in the food industry and soundly believe that commercially raised animals are not nearly as healthy as animals raised in less crowded environments and I will no longer purchase meat that was commercially raised. I've known people that raised chicken for a living, and would not eat their commercial chickens. It does take more commitment and money, but the options are there if someone is inclined to find them.

The charge relates to Warnock's conduct following his side's clash at Millwall on November 18.
The Whites boss blasted referee Mark Halsey in his post-match comments after he dismissed Luke Varney in the 1-0 defeat at The Den. Varney was sent off just three minutes into the second half for an apparent elbow on Adam Smith.
Warnock said: "The amount of effort that's gone into the game and we're talking about a refereeing decision - it's scandalous. When you watch the sending-off again, we don't have thousands of Millwall fans screaming at us. It's not caught him where he's holding when he's gone down.
"Referees aren't as consistent - they've gone backwards, I think. I didn't think someone of Mark Halsey's quality and experience would have gone straight for his red card, and I think he'll be disappointed when he sees it, but that will do us no good."
The 63-year-old has until 4pm on Friday to respond to the charge.

Coco's Bakery Restaurant is a chain of casual dining restaurants operating in the Western portion of the United States. As of 2015[update], it operates 57 restaurants out of California, Arizona, and Nevada. It began as The Snack Shop in 1948 in Corona del Mar, California, and had switched owners multiple times.
As of 2015[update], the chain operates 57 restaurants in California, Arizona, and Nevada according to the companies website.
In 1948, The Snack Shop along the Pacific Coast Highway in Corona del Mar, California, was purchased by John and Audrey McIntosh. John and Audrey decided to purchase the restaurant after he had worked there for only two weeks. They grew the snack shop concept to many more units and then in 1960 expanded the business into Reuben's in Newport Beach. Then in 1965 expanded the Snack Shop concept to Coco's and the Reuben E. Lee. Ultimately converting all Snack Shops into Coco's. As the name implies, the restaurant features pies. After the conversion of the Snack Shops to Coco's location, as well the newly expanded Reuben's steakhouse franchise that were co-located on Coco's properties, the entire operation was sold to W.R. Grace & Co., a New York chemical conglomerate, as part of its Restaurant Services Division. During this period of Grace ownership, Grace also added local Mexican restaurant chain El Torito, Carrows and many others.
After years of poor performance, W.R Grace spun off 145 restaurant locations in a leveraged buyout to Restaurant Enterprises Group, a company composed of Grace managers.[1][2] In 2002, Coco's, along with its sister chain Carrows, was purchased by Catalina Restaurant Group, headquartered in Carlsbad, California. In 2006, Catalina Restaurant Group was bought by Japanese company Zensho Co., Ltd., which has operated Coco's Japan for many years.[3]
In 2015 San Antonio, Texas based Food Management Partners acquired Carlsbad, California based Catalina Restaurant Group Inc., parent of the Coco's and Carrows concepts, from Zensho Co., Ltd..[4]
In California, Coco's Bakery/Carrows competes directly with Denny's, Norm's, Polly's Pies and Marie Callender's restaurants.

The mandate of the Bank of Canada is spelled out in the Bank of Canada Act. Under this Act, the Bank of Canada is required to submit each year its audited financial statements accompanied by a report by the Governor to the Minister of Finance. The Annual Report is presented to Parliament by the Minister and a copy is published in the Canada Gazette.
The Payment Clearing and Settlement Act gives the Bank of Canada responsibility for the oversight of payments and other clearing and settlement systems in Canada, for the purpose of controlling systemic risk.
The Governing Council's main tool for implementing monetary policy is the target for the overnight rate. This rate is normally set on eight fixed dates per year. The Council arrives at its decisions about the rate by consensus, rather than by individual votes, as is the case at some other central banks.

Third Trimester 1stTrimester 2ndTrimester
72 days to go...
Your baby todayThe lip shape and groove between the nose and upper lip are particularly well shown here. If you or your partner has a prominent groove, or philtrum, above the upper lip, your baby may too, or she may inherit characteristics that are somewhere in between.
Regardless of your size-and that of your baby-nature won't let her grow too large for you to be able to give birth.
Your body shape isn't an indication of whether you'll have an easy birth. The size of your hips is not always a good indication of the size of your pelvis so having slender hips doesn't mean you'll have a difficult birth, and having larger "child-bearing" hips doesn't mean you'll have an easier birth.
What is known is that, although how big your child will be is determined genetically, women have an extra influence on the size of their babies while they are in the uterus. So, even if your child ends up growing to 6 ft (1.80 m) tall, if you're small you'll limit how big she gets in the uterus. This makes sense-if you're small, you wouldn't be able to deliver a hefty 12 lb (5.5 kg) baby, so your body limits the baby's size at delivery. Your baby will then catch up on her expected growth after the birth.
There's a condition called cephalo-pelvic disproportion in which the baby is too big or the pelvis is too small for the baby to engage. An MRI scan will be performed to get exact measurements.
Time To Think About
A support network
After giving birth, your body will spring back into shape overnight; you'll be bursting with energy and raring to go. That's one scenario! The other – more realistic – possibility is that you'll find yourself struggling to get breast-feeding established and to brush your teeth before lunch time. If you don't like living in a mess, act now to prevent resentment (and the laundry) from building up in a few months' time.
- Talk to your partner now about how you're going to split the chores once you're parents.
- Your "job" will be to nurture your newborn, so you'll need domestic backup, if possible, particularly during the first few weeks. Recruit helpers (family and friends; or pay professionals if needed). Delegate so that you won't have to think about shopping, cooking, or cleaning.
- New parents need their own space, so it's never too early to arrange for some babysitters for a few weeks after the birth. If you're breast-feeding, you'll need to express your milk.
Ask A... Doctor
You'll be given a very sugary drink and asked to wait for an hour, after which your blood will be tested. If your levels are high, you'll have to take a glucose tolerance test, which is similar, but longer. If you do have gestational diabetes, you will be taught how to test your blood sugar at home. You'll likely be able to control your condition with diet and exercise.
It's reassuring to know that most women who have sugar in their urine have normal blood-sugar levels in the glucose test.

Given (finite dimensional?) vector spaces $V$ and $W$, we can define the transpose of a linear map $f:V \to W$ by the obvious map $W^* \to V^*$. Can we do a similar thing for the determinant? Can we define the determinant of an operator without making reference to a matrix, or bases? I feel we should be able to do this, given that the value of the determinant is independent of the basis chosen.
The determinant of a linear map $f:V\to W$ between finite dimensional vector spaces over a field $K$ can only be defined if $V=W \; !$
The intrinsic definition is then as follows :
This approch (pioneered by Bourbaki around 1950, I think) is undoubtedly very elegant, but it requires a knowledge of multilinear algebra not taught in elementary undergraduate courses.
Elaborating on Sanchez's answer, it's useful to consider the action of a linear operator on objects created by wedge products--which represent oriented planes, volumes, and so on, just as a single vector represents an oriented line.
We generally define the action of linear operators across the wedge product as follows:
$$\underline T(a \wedge b) \equiv \underline T(a) \wedge \underline T(b)$$
The operator on a wedge product is the wedge product of the operator on the individual vectors.
Now, consider the highest-dimensional object that can be formed by wedges. In an $N$-dimensional space, this is a wedge product of $N$ linearly independent vectors. This object itself forms a 1d vector space---all objects of this kind are scalar multiples of each other. For this reason, this object is often called the pseudoscalar. We'll call it $i_N$.
Now, what is $\underline T(i_N)$? First, linear operators that can be extended across wedges preserve the grade of their arguments--vectors go to vectors, planes to go planes, and the pseudoscalar can only go to (some multiple of) itself.
In other words,
$$\underline T(i_N) = \alpha i_N$$
We call the number $\alpha$ the determinant, and it describes how a unit volume in the space is dilated or shrunk by the linear operator. There is no need to resort to a matrix representation to do this, nor must we choose a specific basis to know this is so.

The Volkswagen Golf R Cabriolet will arrive in UK showrooms this spring, and it's the first ever R model with a folding roof.
Like the flagship Golf R hatch on which it's based, the Golf R Cabriolet is powered by a 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine with a six-speed DSG gearbox. This gives the Golf R Cabriolet a total power output of 261bhp, which is 5bhp less than the hatch but 53bhp more than the Golf GTI Cabriolet.
A claimed 0-62mph time of 6.4 seconds makes it the fastest cabriolet Volkswagen has ever built, but is still 0.9 seconds down on the Golf R hatch, which can manage the sprint in just 5.5 seconds. This is due in part to the fact it does without the hatchback's four-wheel-drive system. However, this also means that fuel economy is expected to be slightly better than the hatch's 33.6mpg and 195g/km.
The Golf R Cabriolet gets aggressive front and rear bumpers, side skirts and 18-inch alloy wheels. Sports suspension means that it sits 25mm lower than the regular Golf Cabriolet, while there are also Xenon daytime running lights with gloss black surroundings to match the gloss black grille. At the rear, the chrome exhaust pipes are mounted centrally as on the Golf R and previous Golf R32 models, while the brake calipers are finished in the signature blue colour of R models.
The fabric roof takes 11 seconds to raise and can be operated while driving at speeds of up to 18mph. It takes 9.5 seconds to fold down, revealing a cabin that features leather upholstery with 'R' logo embroidery on the sports seats, as well as brushed aluminium pedals. In front of the leather-wrapped sports steering wheel and shift paddles, blue lighting around the dials continues the R theme.
The Golf R Cabriolet starts at £38,770, which is an extra £8,000 over the GTI Cabriolet with DSG transmission and £5,000 more than the Golf R hatch.

Missouri Coach Gary Pinkel Arrested for DWI

Missouri head coach Gary Pinkel was arrested late Wednesday night for driving while intoxicated..
ESPN commentator and former Notre Dame coach Bob Davie has been named the new head coach at the University of New Mexico. Davie was 35-25 in five years at Notre Dame, but hasn't coached since 2001.
With the season winding down, things are really starting to get tight for a lot of teams. LSU and Oklahoma State control their own destinies in the national title hunt, but there is still a lot of movement that could occur if one of those two loses. Several teams are still trying to lock up spots in their respective conference championship games while others are just trying to improve their bowl resumes.
We've had plenty of upsets in college football this year, and this week has all the signs of some more coming soon. Nine ranked teams, including five of the top 10, are going on the road against teams with .500 or better records and three ranked teams are in action Thursday or Friday night to whet your appetite for another big weekend of college football. Here are all the highlights to look for this week in the AP Top 25.
Jerry Sandusky, the former Penn State football coach charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, broke his silence Monday night about the scandal that lead to the firing of head coach Joe Paterno and three other university officials.
In a phone interview with Bob Costas on NBC's 'Rock Center With Brian Williams,' Sandusky said, "I have horsed around with kids, I have showered after workouts. I have hugged them, and I have touched their legs without intent of sexual contact," but declared himself innocent of the abuse charges.
College students putting off their responsibilities to play video games is nothing new, but this might be the first time a coach has blamed them for his team's poor performance. Following Louisville's 21-14 loss to Pitt last weekend, Cardinals head coach Charlie Strong said the loss was partly due to his players spending too much time playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 instead of preparing for the game.
Yale officials announced Sunday that quarterback Patrick Witt withdrew his application for the Rhodes Scholarship so that he will be able to play against archrival Harvard this weekend.
In the wake of the ongoing child sex abuse scandal that rocked the Penn State campus, Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany announced Monday that the trophy given to the winner of the first-ever Big Ten championship game will no longer bear the name of legendary coach Joe Paterno.
After all the disgusting headlines out of Penn State dominating the sports world this past week, it was good to return to the field with some actual football. And the Top 25 gave us plenty of excitement to discuss.
Seven ranked teams, including two in the Top Five, went down to defeat. Boise State saw its BCS hopes die on a missed field goal as time expired (again). Oregon downed Stanford in a wild Pac-12 shootout. Oklahoma State looked every bit the part of a title contender. And Penn State hit the field without Joe Paterno at the helm for the first time in 46 years. Here are all the highlights from this week in the AP Top 25.

News recently broke the band is currently in the process of wrapping up an album of cover songs, set to be released later on. The first song we get to hear fully is Metal Church's "The Dark".
Corey Taylor delivers a blistering version of Alice in Chains' 'Them Bones' with the all-star covers band Royal Machines.
Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor points out some of the problems with the Grammy voting for the metal category.
Corey Taylor discusses his dark teenage years, his battle with depression and his attempted suicide.
Former Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root has ripped his ex band for their poppy musical direction and motivations.
The frontman discusses the creation of his distinctive new two-piece Slipknot mask.
After busting out Metallica's 'Creeping Death' and Kiss' 'Love Gun' on their last tour, Stone Sour have begun recording a covers album.
As we've seen from many bands through history, cover albums are a tribute to past influences and inspirations. Bands such as Godsmack and Metallica have gone down the road of the cover album, and now Stone Sour is aiming to do the same.
In a new interview, the guitarist gathered some hindsight and said he "wasn't really happy" in Stone Sour anymore and the decision was "for the better."
I have seen some of these videos where the music is taken away and all that is left is the vocals come across my news feed but I never took the time to watch any of them. I finally took some time to check out the vocal tracks of Corey Taylor and it gives me a whole new appreciation for one of the greatest frontmen of our time.
Update (5:45PM ET): This story has been amended with a statement from Stone Sour confirming that Jim Root is in fact no longer in the band.
Earlier this year, guitarist Jim Root sat out Stone Sour's tour with the reason given that he was concentrating his efforts on writing music for Slipknot's next album. However, now the band has announced that it has parted ways with Root.
Monster Energy Roast On the Range With Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Stone Sour is going down on May 15th at he LC Pavilion in Columbus, Ohio.
