Stretch Inc. Licenses Mentor Graphics 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet MAC Intellectual Property
WILSONVILLE, Ore., May 25, 2005 - Mentor Graphics Corp. (Nasdaq: MENT) today announced the licensing of its 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) Intellectual Property (IP) by Stretch Inc. Mentor Graphics is a leading provider of standards-based semiconductor IP and its Ethernet MAC products are the building blocks for System-on-Chip (SoC) designs used in today's highly integrated communications and networking systems. The industry-leading Mentor Graphics{reg} 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet MAC provides a multitude of possible design applications, such as network interfaces, Ethernet switching, and test equipment.
Stretch, a pioneer and leader in software-configurable processor devices, recently announced its new S5620 processor which was developed using Mentor's 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC (PE-MCXMAC). The S5620 processor is based on Stretch's revolutionary S5 engine, and dramatically boosts system performance by off-loading compute-intensive tasks from a general purpose processor. Tailored embedded programmable logic within the processor engine enables system developers to optimize the application software and the instruction-set architecture simultaneously, resulting in remarkable performance enhancements to systems using PowerPC-based processors. Stretch has used Mentor's 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC in its S5610 processor, as well.
"We selected Mentor based on their expertise, solid product quality, and position as the industry leader for Ethernet MAC IP," stated Reynette Au, vice president of marketing at Stretch. "Mentor's 10/100/1000 Ethernet IP was the perfect solution for our processor design-the ease of integration and exceptional customer support were other key factors in our decision to adopt Mentor Graphics IP."
As the first company to embed programmable logic within its processor, Stretch uses familiar C/C++ programming tools that systems developers can automatically configure which dramatically boosts system performance. By enabling application customization using only C/C++, the S5620 delivers a flexible and intelligent system processing solution where time-to-performance is critical for applications such as high-end imaging, networking and office automation.
"We're pleased that Stretch has licensed Mentor's industry leading Ethernet MAC IP since they have a solid reputation as the leader in software-configurable processors," said Michael Kaskowitz, general manager of Mentor Graphics Intellectual Property division and president of the VSI Alliance. "Our silicon-proven and certified standards-based IP cores are easily integrated into any design and enable Stretch to expedite their product development schedules. We're proud to contribute to this advantage."
Mentor Graphics 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC
The PE-MCXMAC™, which originated from Mentor's acquisition of Alcatel's Ethernet IP product line (formerly of Packet Engines), is a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet Media Access Controller (MAC) with a Gigabit Media Independent Interface (GMII) for incorporation into the customer's own ASIC or IC design. Mentor provides a broad portfolio of IP, including 10G Ethernet IP.
Key product features include:
- Meets IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x, 802.3z and 802.3ac specifications
- 8-bit MAC engine optimized for size and minimal latency
- Built-in MII/GMII interface; optional interface modules available for RMII, SMII, RGMII, SGMII and TBI SEREDES
- Generates expanded Transmit and Receive statistics vectors, supporting RMON and SNMP applications
- Fully synthesizable
- Scan insertion-friendly design

Orleans Elementary School, a kindergarten through eighth grade school in the village of Orleans, VT, has participated in International Walk to School day since 2006. This elementary school has less than 150 students, most of whom live within walking distance of the school and either walk or are driven to school. Orleans Elementary received $7,000 in federal Safe Routes to School (SRTS) funds through the Vermont Department of Transportation. The town of Orleans plans to use these funds to update and replace worn and weathered traffic signs around the school. The school's encouragement and education activities are supported through Vermont's SRTS program.
Because Orleans is a small village, most of the students live less than one mile from school, and about 85 percent of the students regularly walk or bicycle to school. During Walk to School Week, Orlean Elementary officials provided incentives in the form of charm bracelets to encourage all the children to walk to school. There are students who live in other towns and are bused to Orleans Elementary, and they walk with the school nurse during recess to participate in Walk to School Week.
Around the same time as International Walk to School Day in October 2007, the school used charm bracelets as incentives to walk to school. For one week, each time a student walked or bicycled, they received a plastic foot charm to attach to the bracelet. This activity is organized by the school nurse, who received the bracelets through the state's SRTS program.
Orleans Elementary organized its first bicycle safety fair in September 2007. At the fair, which was held on a Saturday, students could attend and learn about bicycle and bicycle helmet safety, as well as be fitted for their own bicycle helmet. The school nurse, state SRTS coordinator, a local bicycle shop merchant and a Girl Scouts troop volunteered to run bicycle safety courses and three different bicycle safety sessions for the students. Also, students in kindergarten through fourth grade were taught pedestrian safety in their physical education class for about one month. In spring 2008, there are plans to introduce a bicycle safety curriculum to the students in kindergarten through fourth grade.
The next step for the SRTS coordinators at Orleans Elementary is to discover how they can further SRTS efforts. The SRTS coordinator would like to see sidewalk installments and improvements occur, especially since parents cited sidewalk safety as one reason for driving their children to school.

Safety note: As my Granddad used to say: "Don't cut toward yourself, and you'll never get cut."
Excellent photos by Christy Canida the whale butcher.
See what she does with these knives at Skinning and Filleting Catfish
People have always cared about sharp tools. Some "Bog Man" remains from thousands of years ago have been found with sharpening stones worn as a pendant.
This first video shows how to make your own Bog Man stone from a regular sharpening stone, or any soft abrasive stone you happen to find.
First we will make a drill bit from a nail, drill a hole in the stone, saw the stone in half, and flatten it. Just like an ancient bog man would have if he had the battery drill we fixed last week.
This second video shows how to sharpen a knife for butchering and how to sharpen it for carving wood. I bought the knife in the video from a husband-and-wife team of blacksmiths in China. Blacksmithing seems to be a job for couples in many parts of the world.
Links to the ipod formated videos are at the bottom of this page.
Step 1: Look at the Edge
On this blade the inch near the tip is pretty bad.

Thank for sharing this post. You can see our website to read review, discount available:
A Nice Article!
The key to remember is to always works with a material that is harder that that of the substance of your knife. A Ceramic Rod for example would be the best knife sharpener for your average stainless steel kitchen knife.
If I understand correctly, you can achieve sufficient sharpness with a kitchen sharpener like this one, however a knife sharpened this way won't hold an edge as long as a knife sharpened properly with a sharpening stone. The key difference in sharpening technique is the direction you move the edge against a sharpening device - in a kitchen sharpener you pull the edge along the sharpener, with a sharpening stone the edge is perpendicular to the direction of movement (much like if you were trying to cut a thin slice off the top of the stone). If look at the edge under high magnification, you will see different patterns (micro "hills and valleys") depending on the way of sharpening. The pattern created by the sharpening stone will look like micro serrations, if I understand correctly this is more durable so the knife would keep it's sharpness for a longer time.
Kitchen sharpeners are definitely much faster in use and foolproof (no messing with angles etc.), also the things you cut in the kitchen are usually not that hard (compared to typical uses for an outdoor knife etc.), so it's more convenient for most people to resharpen their kitchen knives more often, but in an easier way. However, I know many knife fanatics who sharpen all of their knives (including the wife's kitchen knives) with various sharpening stones, strops, etc.
P.S. Not an knife/sharpening expert, just my understanding.

Apparently it goes back to 1893!
But i need some help. For one , it is still dirty and i need some help finding the right polish and stuff. For two, I need a way to sharpen it with Out using the Smith's CCKS 2 way sharpener! So if antbody can help me Please Reply!! ;)
start with penetrating oil or spray take 600 grit sandpaper roll it around wine cork and sand the blade by hand the rust will come off just work hard it is gonna take time clean the blade take a finer grit 800 and you will see the shine
i am from southafrica in my country we dont have all the stones you have but you can start with a rough stone 220 grit go to medium 1000 and fine 5000 waterstones they will be alright there is a couple of american authors you can consult steve bottorf he is an expert the book is cheap in your country i grew up on a farm were we had to slaughter with sharp knives it is something you must learn a sharp knife is merciful to the animal it is like a well maintained tool get some theory it will help and persevere you can always write to me what is a smiths ccks 2 is it a benchstone? god bless
now you can work it on a 5000 stone after that you can remove that microscopic burr with a leather strop pasted with jewllers rouge now you can test that knife it will cut a4 printing paper take a wine cork roll 600 grit and you can get that scratch marks out you can use 800 and 1200 sandpaper
to polish your blade your knife will slaughter like a dream remember a knife is a tool it is designed to help man not always a showpiece okapi is also good
wim from south africa
My choice, which works in many places, is a small hardware store - no, not 'home depot' or that ilk, but the little ones. In Canada, try a Home Hardware. In the USA, Ace Hardware or True Value I think would also have them.

Death Camp Prisoner and 'Portraitist' Willhelm Brasse Dies at 95
Here at NYIP, we have often spoken about the awesome power one wields when using a camera. A camera can be used to capture mankind's brightest moments, but it can also be used to capture its darkest.
Willhelm Brasse was a former prisoner of Auschwitz concentration camp who was pulled from his work detail of hauling corpses from the gas chambers to the incinerator when his captors learned of his experience in the field of photography. After that, Brasse was forced to document the unimaginable horrors that occured within the walls of the camp, from taking pictures of all prisoners for Nazi internal files to the horrific medical experiments conducted by Eduard Wirns and Josef Mangele. It is estimated that, during his 5 years spent at the camp, he took somewhere in the region of 50,000 photographs, almost 40,000 of which survived. According to sources, on January 17 1945, with Soviet troops mere days away, Brasse was ordered to burn all the negatives. However, they turned out to be non-flammable and thus were saved. These images remain some of the only photographic proof of the atrocities commited in Auschwitz during WWII.
After the war, Brasse, who managed to surivive The March that followed the camp's liberation, was active in educating young people about The Holocaust and later instrumental in helping to set up the Auschwitz-Burkinau museum, of which his images were the centerpiece. He had wanted to return to photography, but he found he was unable to. In an interview with Agence France-Presse in 2009, he admitted, "After the war, I tried to work as a photographer, but I couldn't. Those poor Jewish children were always before my eyes. There are things you can never forget."
Brasse, who was of mixed Austrian-Polish decent, died on Tuesday, October 23rd, in the city of his birth: Zywiec, Poland. We can only hope this provided him with some comfort in his final days.
To learn more, read the Reuters article Auschwitz photographer Wilhelm Brasse dies at 95 or the Agence France-Presse article Photographer of Auschwitz experiments dies aged 95.

5 Amazingnattynoona | 17/03/2011 | See all nattynoona's reviews (3)I started on L1 (I was fat and unfit) and lost one dress size in 3 weeks. It is not hard fitting 20 minutes into your day. I am now on L2, two dress sizes smaller after two and a half months and plan to keep going. I could of lost more weight but I didn't cut out chocolate (I am still chubby inside). I would recommend this DVD to anyone. I really enjoy it.
5 Love itkatieboo | 28/03/2011 | See all katieboo's reviews (2)This is awesome, it hurts to begin with but I was ok after day two on level one. Level two is a massive step up and have only got as far as watching level three :) It's hard and constant work, but at only twenty minutes it's easy to squeeze in. I do need another twenty to recover lol. You do need weights, I'm using tins of beans at the mo, but other than that it's so easy to do in the front room. Jillian is great, easy to have on in the room and didn't annoy me once. She motivates and tells you that if you want twenty minutes you have to work for it. And you do!I can see results already, and I've done this for over a week. Did a seventeen mile bike ride at the weekend with no difficulties, which is not like me at all. Thank you Jillian!
5 best work out dvd eva!!!!!lollysweetpea | 12/02/2011 | See all lollysweetpea's reviews (5)ive been doing this dvd for the past 3 weeks now and can already c results in my muscle tone i meanly use level 2 but starting 2 progress on2 level 3 now which is 1 hell of a workout so far ive lost 10lbs with doing this dvd and having a healthy diet i would recommend this dvd 2 every1 its so much better than all the celeb ones that r out there and trust me ive tried most of them plus its so cheap 2 buy i would have bought it if it was twice the price as the results r so worth it i'll defo continue 2 use this dvd and will also b buying the rest of her dvds has the results r amazing x
5 BRILLIANT!!!!george39 | 17/03/2010 | See all george39's reviews (4)I have been doing this DVD for a few weeks, it is tough going but well worth it. My belly is tightening up nicely and i have no doubt that in a few weeks it will be flatter than it has ever been (45 years old and had kids!!).Jillian explains the moves really well and there are options throughout . You can follow the advanced or easier version. As an added bonus i have lost half a stone too!!! Would recommend highly
5 Excellentfrogshaw | 07/02/2010 | See all frogshaw's reviews (1)This is certainly one of the best exercise dvd's out at the moment. I go to the gym 4 times a week and I do the 30 day shred twice a week at home and I can certainly see why Jillian gets results on the biggest loser. It has 3 different levels for different levels of fitness and I would certainly recommend it.

Therabreath Review – Is Therabreath The Best Bad Breath Treatment?
7 Reasons You Should Use TheraBreath Oral Care Products
1. Anaerobic sulfur producing bacteria is the cause of bad breath. You can combat anaerobic bacteria with oxygen. Therabreath products contain the active ingredient OXYD-8. It is stabilized and generates oxidizing power as soon as it enters your mouth. Since this ingredient adds oxygen to the oral environment, anaerobic bacteria is prevented from creating the odorous sulfide and Mercaptan compounds that are the cause of halitosis. The end result is the formation of a Sulfate which has no odor or taste. The stabilization process allows TheraBreath to have up to a 3 year shelf-life. When any TheraBreath product enters your mouth, a chemical reaction takes place, which allows plenty of active oxygenation to take place each and every time you use it. TheraBreath products will not only eliminate bacterially produced odors, but they will also destroy all types of food odors (garlic, onions, etc.) and even morning breath.
2. TheraBreath toothpaste does not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which is a harsh detergent. You want to avoid SLS because it will dry out your mouth which will create an optimal environment for the bad breath bacteria to produce volatile sulfur compounds. SLS has also been linked to the production of painful and annoying canker sores. Unfortunately, most commercial toothpaste and mouthwash manufacturers use SLS which is a soap that they put in toothpaste and other cleansers for the sole purpose of making it foam. People are conditioned to believe that more bubbles means that you will be cleaner. However, this is simply not true.
3. Highly concentrated Whole Leaf Aloe Vera has been added to Therabreath toothpaste. Recent research in Asia has shown that Aloe Vera boosts the body's ability to create collagen. This strengthens weak and swollen gums which allows them to heal more quickly. This is important because bleeding gums provide a protein "food source" to the bacteria that create bad breath.
4. Therabreath toothpaste does not contain Saccharin. Saccharin has been shown to be carcinogenic in lab animals and the state of California has recently published a long term study on its negative effects. For some individuals, Saccharin can also create a bitter aftertaste because of one of the chemical compounds produced during Saccharin's chemical breakdown.
5. Therabreath toothpaste is actually a gel. Gels are much smaller molecules than pastes which allows them to penetrate deeper below the surface of the tongue. TheraBreath toothpaste also contains premiere tooth polishing and whitening agents which will keep your smile white and brilliant, but without the damaging abrasives. They are animal cruelty-free and are not harmful to the environment.
6. TheraBreath ToothGel also contains Sodium Fluoride which fights decay. Fluoride has also been shown to be an effective de-sensitizing agent. Some of the other anti-halitosis systems do not contain any Fluoride at all. Before you purchase any anti-halitosis product, make sure to ask if it contains Fluoride.
7. Almost all commercial mouthwashes contain alcohol which can make your mouth drier and your breath smell worse. This will negate the benefits of the oxidation process. The TheraBreath Mouthwash (Oral Rinse) does not contain alcohol and was designed to replace all of those products that make your mouth dry.
Bad breath cannot be cured. There is no such thing as a one time bad breath treatment. Because the bacteria are always there (and are part of the natural flora of bacteria that you need to start off the digestive process), you cannot eliminate them permanently. The only way to effectively stop these bacteria from producing sulfur odors is to use an OXYD-8 based product such as Therabreath. No other compounds will perform this action. The bacteria reproduce every 10-12 hours and that is why the treatment must be used throughout the day. After several months, there is a residual effect, whereby the medication has a longer lasting feeling. Some people are then able to get by with performing the procedure only twice daily. However, for the best results, most people perform the procedures three times daily.

Go Mobile: http://mobile.fosters.com Bald: LGC working toward transparency
Sunday, March 3, 2013
CONCORD — Inside his new office, George Bald keeps two copies of the legal order that will dictate the future of the New Hampshire Local Government Center.
The LGC was finally called to account for the affair last year by the New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation and the Secretary of State's office.
"It isn't that I thought, or think, today that anybody was malicious about what they were doing," he said. "They thought they were doing the right thing, but the [state law] was specific that the risk pools — the benefit has to go to the members."
The impropriety came to light following a decade-long battle waged by the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire and its president, David Lang.
The health trust is the largest source of revenue for the LGC. At the close of 2010, it had revenues of $392.3 million, and net assets of about $87 million, according to last year's order. However, its unclear whether the LGC will be able to maintain its workers' compensation program if the order issued last year is allowed to stand.
"I think setting LGC as a parent of the trusts and the municipal association has caused confusion on the outside, both for some members as well as the regulators," he said, "and so I think that that's one of the areas that I'm looking at carefully, is, 'Do we still need that LGC umbrella over this?'"

quote:So you don't think the CIA has helped protect us from terrorist attacks since 9-11?
quote:This sounds vaguely...familiar.
quote:Well, if he's in an Al Qeida camp in Afghanistan I'd say that's prima facie evidence that he's "running" with Al Qeida.
quote:Well for one, they routinely kill a shitload more people than thte intended target. Whole buncha kids have been droned.
quote:Councilmember Dede Smith, who voted in favor of the bill, says that drones are "pretty clearly a threat to our constitutional right to privacy."
quote:Smith admits that the final legislation won't do anything to prevent federal- or state-operated drones from operating over Charlottesville's skies, but that the symbolic move could push other cities to follow suit.
quote:So bombs are out. That really just leaves taking them on the ground. We'd have to do more of the Seal/Delta raids that McChrystal liked. You cool with that?
quote:Are we at war with these countries?
quote: but on the other hand, we think it is this piece of paper that has slid us down the slippery slope?
quote:So on the one hand an old piece of paper with some writing on is what we place our faith in to prevent stuff like this, but on the other hand, we think it is this piece of paper that has slid us down the slippery slope?
quote:Afghanistan sure, not in Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, etc. Would you trust those governments to deal with the problem, even if you know they're not?
quote:So if China had a problem with a group of american citizens, you'd be okay with them dropping bombs on American soil? Should the US attack China if that were to occur?
quote: but the countries we're operating drones in don't want us kicking down doors and taking people.
quote:If there were terrorists in the United States plotting against China and we weren't pursuing them, China would be justified in finding a way to deal with them clandestinely IMO. Ditto if the situation were reversed.
quote:Deal with what you fricking have at the moment, and at what has been the verbage for the last four years from the left. Deal with the likes of Jesse Jackson appealing to Oboe for DHS agents patrolling the streets of Chicago now. Deal with Oboes verbage about needing a "civilian force" with equal wieght to the military on the streets of America. Where are all of the left leaning knob jobbers? What do they have to say besides chirp.

quote:You win any one of the Rams, Patriots, or Jets game and right now we could still be alive for the one seed.
quote:Wait, if both the Cards and Saints win we'd still get the nod over Arizona, we won a direct contest with them.
quote:I thought they would win the tiebreak over the 49ers though.
quote:Ah well, I did the playoff simulator and Arizona winning would not get them into the playoffs alone. Must be some common opponent thing that pushes the 49ers above Arizona. Who knows.
quote:I'm pretty sure that the head to head would apply to us. We beat both the 49ers and Cardinals so we have tiebreakers over both even in a 3 way tie.
quote:bro do you even read?
quote:Three or more teams (Note: If two teams remain tied after the third step or other teams are eliminated during any step, tiebreaker reverts to step 1 of the two-team format.) 1. Head-to-head (best won-lost-tied percentage in games among the teams). 2. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the division. 3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games. 4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference. 5. Strength of victory. 6. Strength of schedule. 7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed. 8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed. 9. Best net points in common games. 10. Best net points in all games. 11. Best net touchdowns in all games.
quote:Regardless of what tie breaker we use the result is the same, if the saints win they are in. If they don't they might not be.
quote: they do not win, they do not deserve to be in the playoffs,
quote:Why exactly? And who would deserve it over us?
quote:Saints needs to win and win big. If somehow we make the playoffs going in with a loss, we will be one and done. It's not a good look going into the playoffs with a three game loosing streak, especially to Tampon Bay.
quote: team that has the same record as us but might be playing a lot better right now.

Quarantine regula- tions exclude outsiders from the halls and forbid meetings except Sunday night chapel. All college activities are prac- tically at a standstill. Three speakers have been prevented from coming because of the epidemic. Dr. Wise, who was to have preached last Sunday, was detained In New York on account of his wife's illness. Dr. Wood's Bible classes have had to be postponed because Dr. Wood Is helping to fight the Influenza in Washington. Professor Baldensperger will not be able to speak next Saturday evening on account of the quarantine. Even vespers, which was to have been in the cloisters, had to be given up last Sunday on account of rain. All Varsity hockey games with the cricket clubs have been indefinitely postponed.

SPUR6E0N OF LONDON LECTURES TO CROWDED CHAPEL British War Poetry was the subject of a mid-morning lecture in Taylor last Mon- day by Dr. Caroline Spurgeon, Professor of English at the University of London. "When I go into a bookshop and see the numberless liCtle slim volumes of verse by soldiers and sailors I feel very proud," Miss Spurgeon declared. The intensity of feeling which the war has wrought finds its natural expression in verse, hence it is not surprising that those that have the latent capacity burst into song. Bits of the more representative verse which the war has called forth were read by Miss Spurgeon from a number of au- thors, some of whom have not yet found their way to America. As typical of the Intense pride in Eng- land's past, she cited the War Poems of R. C. Vernede, one of the few of Eng- land's soldier poets who is not young. Over forty when the war broke out, Ver- nede enlisted as a private and fought in Flanders until he was killed in April. 1917. . Vernede expresses a conception al- most universal In England in the first years of the war. Miss Spurgeon said.

Robert Nichols, in his Ardours and Endurances, has a remarkable series portraying the experiences of the young soldier from the moment he decides to leave home, through his first battle, and up to his gradual recovery of nerve power after It. There is an intense visualising of the sights, the sounds, and the smells of Eng- lish country, Miss Spurgeon said, and at the same time the realisation that none of its beauties can be enjoyed by those who are not worthy of them.

The spinal cord contains the nerves that carry messages between your brain and body. The cord passes through your neck and back. A spinal cord injury is very serious because it can cause loss of movement (paralysis) below the site of the injury.
Spinal cord injury, SCI
A spinal cord injury may be caused by:
Symptoms of a spinal cord injury may include:
Never move anyone who you think may have a spinal injury, unless it is absolutely necessary. For example, if you need to get the person out of a burning car, or help them to breathe.
Keep the person absolutely still and safe until medical help arrives.
If the person is not alert or responding to you:
Do not roll the person over unless the person is vomiting or choking on blood, or you need to check for breathing. If you need to roll the person over:
Call your local emergency number (such as 911) if you think someone has a spinal cord injury. Do not move the person unless there is urgent danger.

I got my love of cars from my dad. He'd get bored with his car so every year he'd bring home a new one. It would be done without fuss or ceremony. One night he'd simply return home from the office in a new car. To humor my dad, my mom would usher the kids out to the car so we could ooh and aah for a few minutes and then we'd be herded back inside.

28 Years Ago: Metallica Releases 'Master of Puppets'
Heavy metal effectively came of age in the '80s, as it coalesced what had previously been a ragtag collective of bands into a bona fide rock and roll sub-genre capable of achieving Top 40 success.
As such, when the decade wound down, there were many candidates for "most important heavy metal album of the '80s": Motley Crue's 'Shout at the Devil,' Guns n' Roses' 'Appetite for Destruction,' Def Leppard's 'Hysteria,' and Iron Maiden's 'The Number of the Beast,' to name but a few.
But as we look back now, with the benefit of longer historical hindsight, can there be any doubt that this description — if it belongs to any single LP — belongs to Metallica's 'Master of Puppets'? Certainly, no one would have guessed that, upon the album's release on March 3, 1986.
Indeed, when the California quartet had begun recording their third album in the fall of 1985, at the same Sweet Silence Studios, in Copenhagen, Denmark where they'd recorded their well-received sophomore album, 'Ride the Lightning,' they were just another "underground" heavy metal band, operating on the fringes of popular music.
Yes, by then heavy metal had already started to become mainstream thanks to more accessible and MTV-friendly bands such as Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest, and the aforementioned Leppard, Maiden and Crue; but Metallica and their fellow thrash brethren (Anthrax, Slayer, et al — to say nothing of early extremists like Venom or Mercyful Fate) were still considered far too unpalatable to ever follow in their wake.
But 'Master of Puppets' would change all that and, amazingly, do so without trying to ape commercial trends, never mind appease Metallica's new major label, Elektra Records. Instead, the album simply followed the natural progression of the band's evolutionary curve, producing a set of songs both striking and diverse that simply turned out bigger, heavier, and altogether better than their predecessors.
LP bookends 'Battery' and 'Damage, Inc.' delivered sonically decapitating, state-of-the-art thrash devastation; epic works such as the title track, 'Disposable Heroes' and 'the instrumental 'Orion' stockpiled outstanding riffs with quasi-progressive ambitions; doom-laden departures like 'The Thing that Should Not Be' and 'Leper Messiah' flipped the speed-metal script with crushing deliberateness; and 'Welcome Home (Sanitarium)' proved that power ballads need not kowtow to more sensitive listeners, but could instead evoke suicidal depression.
From start to finish, 'Master of Puppets' was an absolute triumph of visceral inspiration over market-pleasing common sense; and the essentially grassroots, oftentimes word-of-mouth, process by which Metallica's legend steadily grew throughout 1986 (aided in leaps and bounds by a crucial tour opening for Ozzy Osbourne, which literally changed the lives of countless unsuspecting concertgoers) proved it.
In fact, perhaps the most revealing barometer of Metallica's imminent breakthrough came when 'Master of Puppets' was voted Album of the Year by the readers of Circus Magazine, which reached some of the youngest and most impressionable of metal fans, ready to see the light.
Sadly, Metallica bassist Cliff Burton would not live to reap the rewards of his seminal creative contributions to 'Master of Puppets,' alongside band mates James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich and Kirk Hammett, as he was tragically killed just six months after the LP's release in that horrible Swedish bus crash.
But his legacy was at least cemented, for what that's worth, by the eventual ubiquity of the "most important heavy metal album of the '80s": 'Master of Puppets.'

Thread: What else do you read??
February 8th, 2012, 02:04 PM #6166
I've read the whole trilogy. As you said, I liked the first book, but they did decrease in quality from there. I also found the characters cliched and predictable in many ways. There was a bit of controversy over the similarities in concept and plot between The Hunger Games and Battle Royale, which is a Japanese novel published a few years before. It has the same setup, and while it's more violent than The Hunger Games (the Japanese government considered banning it), it is very very similar. It's possible that it's a coincidence, but the sheer scale of the similarity is a bit difficult for me to ignore.

Oh! Didn't know that. I also had a problem with how twilight-y they seemed as the series went on. Especially the 2nd book. Katniss was acting a lot like Bella, thinking she was horrible, didn't deserve either guy, etc. Gale=Jacob in so many ways (even overly warm hugs!). And Peeta was too perfect and forgiving and adoring, like Edward. The plots seemed to randomly develop halfway through the books too, like Twilight. (The first book is an exception, since the Games were the plot since the beginning.)
February 9th, 2012, 03:00 PM #6168
Exactly! The whole love triangle involving one kind, sweet, boy and one rugged, exciting one vying for the perfect heroine is completely overdone. Katniss is a more interesting character than Bella in that she can actually think for herself, but her amazing-survival-skills-with-emotional-insecurity spiel is basically that of the typical "strong" YA heroine. It's a bit overdone. (Maerad is a brilliant subversion of that, imo - her emotional insecurity actually runs deeply in her and is adequately psychologically explained, rather than being the token "weakness" as it is for most YA heroines.)
February 28th, 2012, 06:00 PM #6169
The first book I really enjoyed, although even while reading it I was picking out a few things I didn't like so much about it, and then I just got more disappointed as the series progressed and the weaknesses of the plot and characters became more obvious. It's a good concept though, even if it is almost identical to Battle Royale, and they were easy to read too which was nice after all of my university reading. There are good parts!
March 1st, 2012, 02:57 PM #6170
I also found it a lot of fun to read, but I think it really doesn't deserve the amount of attention it's getting. I'll probably watch the film because a lot of my friends are fans, and I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised. Maybe.

Today I'm reading Clarissa. If you haven't come across this tome go google it. I think I might kill myself with it if I don't set it on fire first. Just one more assignment for it though, then I'm freeeee!
Oh and hey guess whos back!
March 5th, 2012, 02:06 PM #6172
Hello! Welcome back.
Googled it. Um...erk? Setting that as a text seems like a very sadistic joke. Is it worth studying despite the length?
Reading Orlando at present. Although there is also a stack of about twenty books I am technically reading.
March 5th, 2012, 03:39 PM #6173
Having googled that, I am slightly in awe of you but definitely not envious! This is why I don't want to do English at uni...
What's 'Orlando' like?
I've started reading the Iliad properly for the fist time, which I've been meaning to do for ages - it's great so far!
March 7th, 2012, 02:39 PM #6174
Oh, I love it! It's bleak and glittering and sarcastic and hopeful and so beautiful. It's also a more "conventional" novel than, say, To the Lighthouse, which isn't an advantage in itself but does make it very easy to read and enjoy. Its themes are really interesting, and in a way I wish I could study it in class.

Ah, I read The Hunger Games just after it was announced that there would be a movie based upon the book. I noticed the similarity between THG and Battle Royal, which irked me a little. I absolutely loved Battle Royale in some kind of sick, twisted way but I thought I'd give the rest a read through... However, I've lost interest some way through the second book. :/ I don't see myself bothering with the rest any time soon which is a shame as I got the second and thirs books together (part of a deal) and money isn't exactly growing out of my poor studebt ears. Oh well.
Hasn't Battle Royale been compared to the Lord of the Flies in turn? I haven't dead the book myself but I vaguely recall it being brought up a few times in comparison...
I went book shopping for the first time in ages and happened to pick up a few books I remember being recommended a number of years ago. The Assasin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb being one of them. It's reserved for reading after I've finished A Clash of Kings by George RR Martin, whuch caught my attention last year when I seemed to walk in on every "dubious" scene whilst my parents were watching the tv series. Needless to say that was pretty awkward...
I just finished A Game of Thrones last night and although it took me exactly 3 weeks to complete it, where as before it would have taken three days at most(which I blame on my uni course making me feel to guilty to pick up anything but a law textbook), I really enjoyed it. It was confusing at first but only at first. After you've gotten used to the characters though it gets a lot easier and a lot more intriguing.
I also read Feed by Mira Grant not too long ago. A zombie apocolypse written in an unconventional format. It was another book that I really enjoyed with a huge, huge twist neR the end(well, I never saw it coming!) and I can't wait until I manage to find the second book of the series Deadline.
In the whole horror category I was reading Meat by Joseph D'Lacy and The Unblemished by Conrad Williams.
Meat sort of seems like an ode to animal rights and vegitarianisn by taking the saying "you are what you eat" to a pretty literal level. This concept really intrigued me but here I am two, three-maybe even four- years later and I'm still failing to read more than a couple of pages before putting the book down to gather dust. :|
The same thing is happening with The Unblemished. I don't really enjoy the flow of the story so I may just give up trying to read these two, despite the potential they seemes to hold when I first bought them.

You guys should read Juliet Marillier's books like the Daughter of the Forest. A really long time ago I read Kate Constable's Singer of All Songs. They also remind me of the Pellinor series
July 10th, 2012, 12:11 AM #6177
Yeah! I think we had some lengthy posts before comparing the two stories, like
Spoiler:long-lost brothers, mentor who turns into a lover, antagonist who is romantically involved with the protagonist (Samis and Arkan), etc.
The authors are also both from Australia!
Kate is a really cool person, as is Alison; I emailed Kate once, and she was super nice about it and seemed very funny and kind.
July 22nd, 2012, 09:53 AM #6178Becks - Yeah, Battle Royale does share a number of similarities with Lord of the Flies, in that they're both set on islands with murderous, underage protagonists, and I think Battle Royale probably was consciously inspired by Lord of the Flies. THG is closer to BR than BR is to LotfF, though, I'd say, because they both involve totalitarian governments using the respective competitions/games as a means of repression. I'm not one of those who thinks THG is a wholesale ripoff of BR, and I think it's possible that Suzanne Collins did write THG without having ever heard of BR, which is what she says, but they are uncannily similar.
Oh yeah, I also have the Game of Thrones books sitting beside my bed to read, but similarly to you I just haven't had time to read them quickly despite them being pretty exciting, easy reads that I should be able to whizz through. :/ At least they're standing by as a sort of treat for later.
Currently reading War and Peace. Um. Partially so I can say I've actually read the infamous monster, I guess, and partially because it's on my History recommended reading list for next year. About 200 pages in so far, and it's been surprisingly light, but apparently the latter half contains a lot of essays about the nature of history. I'll see when I get there.
September 21st, 2012, 08:00 AM #6179Hello everyone! I recently bought Battle Royale so I'm looking forward to reading it. I also have Game of Thrones lying around to read. The books that I have read recently are Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, Artemis Fowl: The Last Guardian, and I'm currently reading House of Leaves.
September 24th, 2012, 02:30 PM #6180House of Leaves?! How is it? I've heard so much about it but never read it. I know I really should.
Like Sirkana was a few posts above, I am properly reading the Iliad from beginning to end for the first time. I keep catching myself thinking "I wish there was a fandom," and then realizing how many famous books in history have actually been a sort of fanfic for the Iliad. Anyway, it's gorgeous and wonderful. Really enjoying it. I'd love to compare notes with everyone else who's read it, especially as regards translations - I'm reading the Lattimore, because its literalness pleases me, but I know a lot of people find it stilted.

On June 28, Sanford J. Ungar, Goucher's tenth president, sent an email to the community saying he plans to resign in one year. The announcement
came as a surprise to trustees and students, but Ungar stated that he did not take his decision lightly. With four different contracts during his 13-year presidency, Ungar's newest agreement was three one-year contracts, in which he would notify the board of trustees if he planned to stay for one or two more years. This summer, he decided it was time to step down.

All Wrapped Up
Just call it a missed opportunity.
Catmint (genus Nepeta) draws scores of insects, from honey bees to leafcutter bees to European wool carder bees.
It also draws spiders.
We usually see a cellar spider (family Pholcidae) trapping prey in its web. It inflicts a fatal bite and then wraps it for later consumption.
This cellar spider, however, crawled along a catmint stem to wait for prey. A honey bee buzzed down and began nectaring one of the lavender blossoms.
It was not aware of the predator. Just as the spider moved toward it, the bee took off.
Later we saw the cellar spider wrapping prey. A closer look revealed it was not a honey bee, a leafcutter bee or a European wool carder bee.
It was another cellar spider. Sexual cannabalism? Maybe. A very hungry cellar spider inept at catching a bee so it nailed a fellow spider instead? Perhaps.
At any rate, that was "what's for dinner."

How Fast Can a Honey Bee Fly?
We captured these photos today of a honey bee nectaring on catmint (genus Nepeta). The bee was moving fast. To blur the wings, we set the shutter speed at 1/640 of a second with an f-stop of 13 and IS0 of 800.
But just how fast can a honey bee fly?
Its wings beat 230 times every second, according to Douglas Altshuler, a researcher at California Institute of Technology who co-authored research, "Short-Amplitude High-Frequency Wing Strokes Determine the Aerodynamics of Honeybee Flight," published in December 2005 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The honey bees have a rapid wing beat," he told LiveScience in an interview published in January 2006. "In contrast to the fruit fly that has one-eightieth the body size and flaps its wings 200 times each second, the much larger honeybee flaps its wings 230 times every second."
"And this was just for hovering," Altshuler said. "They also have to transfer pollen and nectar and carry large loads, sometimes as much as their body mass, for the rest of the colony."
The Hive and the Honey Bee, the "Bible" of beekeeping, indicates that a bee's flight speed averages about 15 miles per hour and they're capable of flying 20 miles per hour.
If they're not carrying nectar, pollen, water or propolis (plant resin), they'll fly much faster!

European Wool Carder Bees Aren't Slow Pokes
Don't ever call the European wool carder bee (Anthidium manicatum) a slow poke. It's not "as fast as a speeding bullet" (Superman), but close.
The males, quite territorial, chase away other pollinators, including honey bees, sweat bees and butterflies.
The European wool carder bee gets it name from the fact that females collect or "card" leaf fuzz for their nests. Today we watched the bees sip nectar from our catmint blossoms and mate.
If you've never seen them in California, that's because they haven't been here that long. Originating from Europe, these bees became established in New York in 1963, and began spreading west. Bee scientists first recorded them in California (Sunnyvale) in 2007.
Like to attract them to your yard? Plant lamb's ear (Stachys byzantia) and catmint (Nepeta).

A Day in the Life of a Single Worker Bee
A day in the life of a single worker bee...
A honey bee tumbles off the flowering catmint (Nepeta) and struggles to right herself.
Her wings tattered, her body battered, she does not buzz away.
Perhaps she is approaching the end of her six-week lifespan--three weeks working inside the hive and three weeks working outside the hive. Bee scientists say that worker bees literally work themselves to death.
As a forager, she likely made about 40 trips a day gathering nectar and pollen. Forty trips a day. It's like going to the grocery store 40 times a day. Oops, forgot something. Got to return to the store.
Bees can forage from a distance of up 5 miles away from their colony, according to Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology.
She's just one bee of about 60,000 in the colony. And now, she will not return. She may have eaten something she shouldn't have or may have an intestinal infection, surmised Mussen.
Or maybe she was poisoned by a pesticide, snagged by a bird, bitten by a spider, or ravaged by Varroa mites.
Still, seeing a honey bee tumble off a blossom and die is something we humans rarely observe.
Meanwhile, her sisters keep working the blossoms, tasks needed to keep the colony alive. Back at the hive, the queen bee is busily laying about 2000 eggs a day to replace all the adult bees who die every day.

Let It Bee
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
--Paul McCartney
When Paul McCartney of The Beatles wrote "Let It Be," released in 1970, he wasn't writing about honey bees.
No, he was actually recounting what his mother (who died when he was 14) told him in a dream. In real life, McCartney and his fellow musicians were clashing. In the dream, his mother soothed him: "It will be all right, just let it be."
But sometimes you just can't let it be.
Or bee.
We recently encountered an industrious honey bee nectaring catmint (Nepeta) in our yard. A gorgeous bee. Here she is buzzing from flower to flower, sipping nectar here, sipping nectar there, and then she makes a huge mistake: she buzzes right into the web of a cunning garden spider. As she struggles to free herself, the spider begins approaching her.
We captured the spider/honey bee scenario with our digital camera--four frames in one second--and then released her.
Not going to be a wrap today.
We let her "bee."
