Meat Beat Manifesto
Engineering postindustrial dub since the mid-Eighties, when he founded production conduit Meat Beat Manifesto with former partner Jonny Stephens, British expat Jack Dangers is a self-proclaimed, self-medicated OCD sufferer. And it has shown. He's amalgamated a free-jazz sensibility with a hip-hop aesthetic, peppering in political overtones and unintentionally helping germinate the prototypes for genres big beat and breakbeat hardcore along the way (an influence traceable all the way to contemporary dubstep).
It becomes clear from his off-center, disparate juxtapositions that rearranging context is Dangers's hallmark. From the spectral signatures of this latest album, however, it seems improbable that he will be able to escape the context he has established for MBM.
Autoimmune's 14 tracks play out as a sort of unofficial stylistic greatest hits. Visceral, almost-queasy bass distends; decaying oscillations ricochet from syncopated percussion; and gargled vocal samples percolate in a deceivingly entrenched yet trenchant midrange strafed by flanged tones. Dangers both serrates and salves within the same track, working his spooked parlance with the assurance of a veteran orator. The accent(s) may be familiar, but Dangers still has much to say.

The last Iranian diplomats left the UK following the Government's decision to close their London base in response to the attacks.
On Wednesday, Foreign Secretary William Hague gave Iran 48 hours to remove all staff from UK soil in response to the "outrageous and indefensible" incident.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "I can confirm that, earlier this afternoon, all diplomatic staff of the Iranian Embassy in London took off from Heathrow airport.
"They are returning to Iran in line with the Foreign Secretary's statement to Parliament on Wednesday."
The latest developments were discussed by Prime Minister David Cameron during talks in Paris, where he thanked President Nicolas Sarkozy for his country's help.
France was one of several European nations to withdraw ambassadors from Tehran in reaction to the looting of the building, which was widely condemned internationally.
"It was an opportunity to discuss the appalling events in Tehran and for me to thank President Sarkozy for the help the French gave to our staff and our embassy," Mr Cameron said.
As officials loaded luggage on to vehicles outside the embassy earlier, a group of 20 protesters shouted anti-regime slogans such as "terrorists, terrorists; must go, must go".
Many were members of the London Green Movement, which opposes president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and campaigns on Iranian human rights issues.
Akbar Karimiam, 49, from Iran, said: "As an Iranian, I'm embarrassed about what happened in the British embassy in Tehran.
"The Iranian embassy here is not representing the nation, it's representing the regime. We are here to say goodbye to the dictator regime represented here."
Mr Hague hailed "a great deal of solidarity" on the issue among EU counterparts when they met yesterday to discuss mounting concerns that Tehran is intent on developing nuclear weapons.
They agreed another round of sanctions designed to further isolate the regime but Mr Hague stressed they were not directly prompted by the storming of the embassy.
All remaining UK embassy staff were evacuated on Wednesday.
Britain's ambassador to Iran tonight revealed how seven of his staff were seized by protesters during the terrifying attack on UK compounds in Tehran.
Dominick Chilcott said some workers and their relatives were sent to the embassy's residential complex in the north of the city before the protests for their safety, but ended up being taken by demonstrators who surged through security.
One worker barricaded himself in one of the "keeps" - parts of the compound designed to block out intruders until police arrive - for 45 minutes before he was overcome.
Mr Chilcott said staff were in a worse predicament than those in the main embassy building because they had gone there thinking it was a "place of safety", so when the attack happened it was "more of a surprise".
He added: "I think this made it more difficult for them generally.
"They did follow the well-established procedures, which was to try and get out of the compound if they could and two of our staff did manage to get out, although they got into a car and they were chased to the gate and just got out before the invaders reached them.
"So, it must have been really frightening for them.
"The others did what they had to do, which was go into the safe areas, what we call the keeps, and locked themselves in.
"The keeps are designed to keep them safe for a certain limited time until the police arrive. But what nobody knew then was that the police weren't going arrive, they were waiting to let the intruders do what they wanted to do.
"One of our staff was on his own in his keep and he barricaded the door with a heavy safe and a bed, and braced himself against the wall. And for 45 minutes he could hear people bashing down the door, smashing the windows and trying to get in because they knew he was there.
"It must have been a very frightening experience - until eventually the door gave way and they got him.
"Then our staff, in the end there were seven altogether, and they were taken to one of the properties and they were made to sit silently, they were not allowed to talk in the room by the invaders, without really knowing what was going on.
"It must have been a troubling experience. They were quite roughly handled, one or two of them, as well."
Mr Chilcott, who was only appointed to the role in October, told how protesters rampaged through the main embassy, "vandalising" one of Britain's "great historic" buildings.
A painting of the Queen was removed, while portraits of previous monarchs were mutilated and fires started in a "spiteful" attack.
Mr Chilcott said he and his staff had "no idea how it was going to end" but were eventually escorted out by police who told them to "lie low".
The Ambassador admitted it would be "untrue to say the thought" of a hostage situation "doesn't go through your mind".
He said there was a "chain of command" that linked to the hardline student protesters to the Iranian government and claimed there was a belief that "bashing the Brits" did a "lot of good".
He added: "Iran is not the sort of country where spontaneously a demonstration congregates then attacks a foreign embassy.
"That sort of activity is only done with the acquiescence and support of the state."

Burton had 19 points in a win over Canisius High School in the Niagara PAL team camp competition last weekend. Ramir's high school team finished 3-1.
Niagara Falls High School claimed the Daemen Team Camp held in Buffalo, New York. Playing the weekend without three starters, Burton was simply terrific.
Ramir landed the Most Valuable Player honors by averaging 20 points a game and handing out an impressive eight assists per contest.
Niagara Falls High School won four of its five contests, beating St. Joe's of Buffalo in the final, 69-59.
"Ramir was a mid season call-up for us last year," said Costantino, whose team had an impressive 19-2 record, losing to Jamestown in the playoffs, the eventual state finalist.
Costantino on Ramir: "Burton has good length that allows him to guard different positions. He will be a big pieces of the NFHS upcoming season highlighted with 2 games in the Primetime Shootout in New Jersey.

Could Jonas Hiller Be Nashville Bound?
The Nashville Predators have spoken with the Anaheim Ducks about potentially acquiring goalie Jonas Hiller, ESPN reports.
The Preds have been without franchise netminder Pekka Rinne for the last four weeks due to complications from offseason hip surgery.
The 31-year-old Swiss ?tender probably makes the most sense, though, as he?s a UFA at season?s end and expendable, given Anaheim?s outstanding depth in goal.

So I am not sure if anyone remember's me telling my story about how I used hypnobirthing to have cavity filled with no drugs/local. I had NO one to elieve in me, even dh thought I was crazy. Well I keep telling myself "it's no big deal, I can do this"--well did.
Switched to using hypnobabies now, and I am trying to replay all this again in my head, like before I don't have alot of women believe that I can have an unmedicated or even a comfortable birth, but I do. Dh is finially on board now though.
My background is in martial arts, I am an Aikido Control Training instructor, and I have had the honor of working with the creater Ron Boyd. Not sure if this is where I am getting my "I know it's possible theory from" but anyways, my question all of the Mom's who's done this before me, is this how it works. Did you create your mind to control your body? How was this experience mentally? difficult to not cave, and go with the discomfort, ect..?

Tualatin, Oregon, U.S.A. January 15, 2009
Pat Crawford's custom tactical Triumph™ Folder is an impressive CRKT® production series— patented, aggressive cutting machines for tactical professionals.
Columbia River Knife & Tool® (CRKT®) is proud of the success of its Triumph™ folder series, based on Triumph custom models made by Pat Crawford.
Crawford, who operates Crawford Knives in West Memphis, Arkansas, with his son Wes, is a mellow and soft-spoken custom knifemaker. But there is nothing mellow about his custom Triumph™ Folder which Pat calls, "a fast cutting machine for professionals."
He says, "I was impressed by the strength and slashing ability of a reverse-curve Tanto blade, so that was where I started designing the Triumph. It has a different look, not as art, but as an entirely functional shape."
Like Pat's customs, our production Triumph Folder is a large and formidable tactical knife designed for grip, with double finger choils, thumb friction grooves and deeply grooved G10 scales. The 420J2 stainless steel liners, one locking, are a hefty 0.1" thick.
The beefy 0.14" thick blade is a dual-grind Tanto with a recurve to aid cutting and a false top edge grind for penetrating power. Blade steel is premium AUS 8 stainless steel. Both Razor-Sharp as well as Combined Razor-Sharp and our exclusive patented1 Veff Serrations™ are available. Developed by Oregon City, Oregon, knife designer Tom Veff, these serrations are wide and angled at 60 degrees to the edge. The resulting cutting points bite instantly and dig deep upon contact, slicing smoothly and effortlessly.
The Triumph Folder features our patented OutBurst® assisted opening mechanism, which instantly springs the blade fully open after you have opened the blade approximately 30 degrees.
To maximize safety, we built in an automated liner safety. Automated liner safety is the locking liner safety innovation taken to the next level. The automated liner safety sets a pin between the locking liner and the frame. This pin acts as an additional layer of safety, so the locking liner is less likely to disengage during use. To close the knife, pull the red button safety lever back, slide the locking liner over, and fold the blade into the closed position.
Two color schemes are available. The "K" series has a matte black EDP coated blade with special black and green G10 scales. The "TS" series features a camo tiger-striped non-reflective blade with black G10 scales. Diagonal CNC-machined grooves in the G10 give excellent grip in wet and muddy conditions.
The Triumph is ambidextrous, with dual thumb studs that allow fast either-hand opening.
The two-position black plated stainless clip is removable.
As Pat Crawford says, "Speak softly, and carry a big Triumph."
Like all CRKT models, the Triumph Folder is an exceptional value. MSRP is $149.99, a remarkable price when compared to tactical knives with similar features and construction.
1. U.S. Patent No. D559,939
Founded in 1994, CRKT® is the industry's premier brand of knives, tools, and lifestyle accessories, with a reputation for innovative design. For more information, call: (800) 891-3100, email: firstname.lastname@example.com, on the web: www.crkt.com.


text: The Bass Family, Hattiesburg: Pulse Ox Matters by Elizabeth W. on Wednesday, October 1, 2014 WHY PULSE OX IN MISSISSIPPI SHOULD BE A REQUIREMENT Written by Amy Bass, Abby's mother After a very difficult and unpromising pregnancy, by the grace of God, my daughter was born on February 9, 2004. We were told for months that she wouldn't survive the pregnancy due to complications. However, upon delivery, Abby was placed in the well-baby nursery. We were on top of the world! A very grim pregnancy ended with a seemingly healthy baby girl, until the following morning. The doctor entered my hospital room, sat on the foot of my bed, and delivered the most devastating news any parent could hear. My tiny baby girl was diagnosed with coarctation of the aorta, a congenital heart defect. Due to the results of a pulse oximetry screening, additional testing was ordered that revealed her heart defect. Had the doctor not ordered this screening, Abby's heart defect would've been undiagnosed which could have been fatal. It breaks my heart to think of all the undiagnosed heart defects that result in the loss of a life when a simple non-invasive screening could be done on every infant and would result in saving many lives. Abby required open heart surgery when she was only four days old. The day after her surgery, Abby coded. The hospital staff were able to perform CPR directly on Abby's heart due to her chest being left open after surgery. She was then placed on a machine called ECMO, which literally pumped the blood throughout her body giving her time to heal. She remained on ECMO for eight days and then continued on the ventilator for five additional weeks. It was during these days and months that we fully came to understand God's grace. It wasn't until we were completely helpless that we realized how awesome God is. Abby later required a second open heart surgery at 18 months old. Once again, God watched over her and carried us through. Abby is simply a walking miracle. She is now ten years old and is one of the most loving people you will ever meet. She is so kind hearted, and she has an inspiring love for people. Abby's presence literally lights up a room. Through her sickness and now in her good health, she has already impacted many lives, including ours. Abby has the best HEART of anyone that we know!

I can see it in the newspapers already. "Penn State Football Goes 12-0 In Regular Season Play". With Evan Royster and Daryll Clark, I think they will. Not to mention their defense. Just Sean Lee alone is a great defense. I think that Joe Pa will take this team to the National Championship. They will beat all opposition and I'm going to tell you why.
Penn State Football, 2009-2010: 12-0
By Steven Swanson ,
Penn State's first regular season game. All I really need to say, is it's a home game, verse and awful team.
My Prediction - 35-14 PSU
The second game. Penn State vs. Syracuse. This should be a blow out as well. Another home game vs. another awful team.
My Prediction - 28-10 PSU
Do I really even have to say anything? To my knowledge, Penn State has never lost a game against Temple. Blowout.
My Prediction - 45-7 PSU
The fourth game for the Lions. Iowa, the one's that crushed Penn State's chances at the Championship last season. That's why i say PSU wins this. They will be looking for revenge.
My Prediction - 24-17 PSU
Penn State's first road game. This is their first, well, challenge. Although I think Royster and Clark will handle them with no problem.
My Prediction - 21-14 PSU
First off, sorry if I have the wrong picture, but I've never even heard of Eastern Illinois. So I can't really say why Penn State will win. But anyways..
My Prediction - 28-7 PSU
Ah, yes. The battle of the Governor's Victory Bell. These two teams haven't played each other in a few years. Close game.
My Prediction - 17-14 PSU
Week 8 for the Lions brings only their 2nd away game. The Wolverines, under a new head coach, will fall to the Lions again.
My Prediction - 45-28 PSU
Penn State's running attack and QB, Clark, will prove to be too much for Northwestern to handle.
My Prediction - 24-10 PSU
Last year, Penn State went into the 'Shoe and won 13-6. Now, Ohio State travels to Beaver Stadium to play the Lions. With OSU's loss of Wells and Laurnitis, Penn State will win again.
My Prediction - 21-7 PSU
Penn State has beat Indiana the past two season, once home, once away. Penn State has proved they can beat them.
My Prediction - 35-14 PSU
Penn State's last regular season game will probably be one of the toughest. Penn State lost two seasons ago, in Michigan State. But, I think they can win this with their running attack.
My Prediction - 28-21 PSU

Monsanto program offers community support grants
Drought disaster areas can receive additional funding
Farmers across the country work hard to build their businesses that help fuel their rural communities. For the third consecutive year, America's Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund, will give farmers the opportunity to win a $2,500 donation for their favorite local nonprofit organization.
With more than 90% of the U.S. corn and soy production currently impacted by the drought, a farmer's ability to invest in his or her community is affected. To help, the Monsanto Fund will provide additional financial support.
Winning farmers from counties that have been declared natural disaster areas by the USDA will have an opportunity to direct an additional $2,500 donation to a local non-profit to address community needs that have surfaced due to the drought.
To date, more than 660 counties have been declared disasters areas within the 1,271 eligible Grow Communities counties.
Since the inception of America's Farmers Grow Communities, thousands of farmers have nominated their favorite local nonprofit groups, such as FFA chapters, schools, fire departments, local food pantries or other civic groups. Several Gothenburg groups have been recipients.
This year, rural community members can suggest an idea or initiative that needs funding in their local community. Eligible farmers may review the ideas and consider them in their application. Community members who wish to plant an idea and encourage farmers to support their cause can do so at www.growcommunities.com.
Now through November 30, 2012, eligible farmers can apply online, and rural community members can submit their ideas at www.growcommunities.com or by calling 1-877-267-3332. The Monsanto Fund will select one winner at random from each of the eligible counties and announce winning farmers and recipient nonprofits in January 2013.
Eligible counties in Nebraska include Dawson, Custer, Lincoln and Frontier among others.
America's Farmers Grow Communities is sponsored by the Monsanto Fund to highlight the important contributions farmers make everyday to our society and to help them positively impact their communities. This program is part of the Monsanto Fund's overall effort to support rural America.
Another program that is part of this effort is America's Farmers Grow Rural Education, giving farmers the opportunity to nominate their local public school district to apply for a grant up to $25,000. Winners of the first annual Grow Rural Education program will be announced on Aug. 28.

Photos: Lara Survives Twice To Force Angulo TKO Win
Home Depot Center, Carson, California - Erislandy Lara (18-1-2, 12KOs) got off the deck, twice, and stopped Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18KOs) in the tenth round to win the vacant interim-WBA junior middleweight title. Lara was down in the fourth and the ninth rounds. During the tenth round, Lara landed a hard combination of punches that caught Angulo right on his eye, breaking his orbital bone - and then the Mexican slugger was in a lot of pain and started walking back to his corner in the middle of the action - and at that point the referee quickly waved off the fight and the doctors rushed the ring. At the time of the stoppage, Lara was ahead 85-84 on two cards and Angulo up 86-83 on the third. Photos by Tom Hogan/Hoganphotos & Esther Lin

Supplement Advice
Supplement Advice – Nutrition and food intake are vital parts of physical fitness
Supplement Advice – In terms of losing excess fat, lessening food intake is the bigger factor with its success alongside exercise. However, eating less is not always that simple. At first glance it you may take it as it is, just eating less than normal. But this simple act of reducing food intake sets a chain reaction that most of us may not be aware of.
Food contains both macro and micro nutrients
Macro nutrients are the three types of nutrients that provide energy to the body. These are protein, carbohydrates and fat. Micro nutrients on the other hand, are composed of vitamins and minerals that are essential in keeping the body healthy and functional. Fat deposits are composed of stored macro nutrients. Naturally, the logical way to reduce these fat deposits is to eat less macro nutrients. Essentially, eat less food. However, when eating less the micro nutrient intake is also affected. The normal and healthy eating habit we are used to have more or less set the baseline for our body's nutrient requirement. Simply reducing the intake of the same food we usually eat means reduction of micro nutrients as well. Losing fat becomes a double edged sword that has commendable benefits and potentially unhealthy side effects.
To offset this negative aspect of food intake reduction, we have to take specific measures that will address the side effect itself
We have to ingest micro nutrients from sources with little to no macro nutrient content. One convenient way to do this is to take multivitamin supplements. Intake of multivitamin supplements make sure that any insufficiency in micro nutrients are addressed. Compared to preparing separate meals that are rich in micro nutrients and low in macro nutrients, multivitamins are by far more convenient. You won't have to spend more time to do another meal on top of the usual ones that you have. Just take one tablet or pill and you're good to go.
One consideration with taking multivitamin supplements is the dosage
Take some time to check if one pill or tablet is enough or will taking more than one compromise your health. Some might tell you that you can't really overdose on vitamins, since they are after all, healthy. This is not true. Although most of the excess vitamins are expelled from the body through excrement and urine, going over the body's threshold would accumulate these micro nutrients and may cause several diseases. Not to mention that large doses are economically impractical. Take the time to read the labels, particularly the percentages of RDA (recommended dietary allowance). Then adjust dosage accordingly.

We cannot say enough good things about Three Tree Point Bed & Breakfast! We stayed in the cottage and it was absolutely fabulous. Doug and Penny stocked the refrigerator with everything you'd need for delicious breakfasts. The bed was especially comfortable, and the whole space felt warm and cozy. Our stay wasn't very long, but we are looking forward to returning for a longer visit.
4,8 en julio 06, 2016
My wife and I had a great stay, and Penny was a great Host. We recommend this place for anyone traveling to the Seattle are who wants to get out of the hustle of the big city, but still close enough to visit those spots in the city.
5 en febrero 16, 2016
We decided to get away for our anniversary gift to ourselves, criteria being 1)local 2) quiet 3) private 4)Mountain and water views 5)not a typical B&B or hotel. Three Tree Point fit the bill perfectly. Although we live in King county after a long hectic work week we just wanted to drive a few miles yet feel like we had gone far away. Having a nice sized kitchenette with all amenities meant we could slouch around without having to go out if we didn't want to made everything so convenient. The cottage is cozy and easy to sink into. I would recommend to out of towners or locals.

Last Fall was our first visit to Three Tree Point Bed & Breakfast. We stayed in the suite and loved everything about our stay. Penny was great at providing for our specific vegan diets while we were there. This year we returned as an anniversary and birthday getaway. We booked the cottage. The cost is a little more than the suite but we can see why. It is completely detached from the main house and has a large private patio and a second small deck. Each room has beautiful views of the water and the window shades open either up or down, allowing these breathtaking views in full view. We even spotted a pod of Orca whales passing through!! Penny is so cute and quiet as a mouse when it comes to housekeeping. We leave to go explore and when we return, the entire place is all freshened up and there is always fresh cut fruit plates ready in the fridge! The travel sites do not do this place justice. The views and close proximity to the water is not emphasized enough. There is an adorable little path down the hill to the water. It's so romantic staying at the B&B. We make it a point to go back every year. Try this place next time you're visiting Seattle. You will not be disappointed!

Thank you for being such wonderful guest and I am so glad you enjoy the B&B. We look forward to seeing you again in the future. Hopefully we will see more whales next time.

We have stayed in the Suite many times and this time we also stated in the Cottage. They are both peaceful and beautiful retreats. The refridgerator has breakfast foods you eat anytime throughout the day. You can bring in groceries to cook for a meal at lunch or dinner. They are both great spaces for visiting with family. Penny even printed our boarding passes for the flight home.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon here for 3 nights. We loved every second! It was also our first time in Seattle so we had a tough time deciding where we should spend our time...exploring the new city or enjoying the view of the Puget Sound from the outdoor hot tub! We did a lot of both. I liked that the kitchen was stocked with breakfast food so we could eat at our leisure and sleep in. There was more than enough to make breakfast for us and snacks at night. Fresh fruit each day and a variety of jams made my day. We had breakfast on the patio each morning looking over the water. The birds were chirping and the sun was shining. The owner, Penny, is so friendly and made us feel very welcome. And we got to meet her beautiful white German shepherd on our last day. Not to worry if you're not a dog lover, she's kept up in the main house mostly and doesn't bark much. But if you enjoy pets, she'll be happy to roll around in the grass and say hello while you're going about your morning. We fully recommend the Three Tree BnB. We had a wonderful time and hope you do as well!

Thank you for being such wonderful guest. I sure enjoy sharing with you both in this very special event. We hope that you will return for you anniversary and we wish you a happy life together.

In Feb, my husband & I made our 2nd trip to Three Tree Point Bed & Breakfast, this time for our honeymoon! Like before, this is the perfect place for a romantic getaway. The views from the cottage of the ocean & Mt. Rainier are spectacular! While we were there, we even enjoyed a nice, relaxing massage right in the comfort of our room! There's the option of dining in or just a few miles down the road, there are a variety of restaurants to choose from. We actually loved where we were so much, we chose to eat in most of the time. Every morning, we would wake up to fresh pastries & a wide selection of fresh breakfast items. We strongly recommend them & will definitely be visiting again!
4,6 en noviembre 25, 2014
We couldn't have chose a more perfect getaway location to stay for our first romantic getaway. The suite was perfect in every sense of the word. It was modern, comfortable, rather large, private and the kitchen was well stocked. They had plenty of fruit for us vegans and we were thrilled that they considered our needs. The jacuzzi was right outside of our bedroom and we took advantage of it. One of the coolest surprises was how close to the bay the b&b is. Just a few steps away from the driveway is a secret little path that takes you down the hill in between houses to the water where we would sit and watch the tide roll in. This place is private and quiet and so different than a 4 star hotel because it's an actual house and hotels can be sterile and cold and pricey. Thie suite was worth the price and actually it was a bargain because you get so much more than a hotel has to offer. We loved our stay so much so that we will be repeat customers for years to come. It will always be the place where our love story began.

I want to thank for this complimentary review. Thank you for being such wonderful guest. We try our best to accommodate every guest specifically. Please come again and enjoy the Three Tree Point Bed and Breakfast.

what a beautiful, refreshing, relaxing place! Just what we needed for our 37th wedding anniversary. we loved sitting on the patio, by the potted beautiful flowers, watching the beach and mountain. The Suite was like a home, tastefully and beautifully decorated. Very clean and tidy, also very comfortable. there were special touches, like flowers in beautiful vases, etc.. Penny treated us like her very personal guests. Her kindness and thoughtfulness stood out to us. she went out of her way to make our stay memorable. the breakfasts she provided were in abundance and delicious.. we thank God for this provision. we hope we can stay at The Cottage next time! Thank you Doug and Penny!

You can't beat waking up every morning to a gorgeous view of Mount Rainier. The Cottage is more than a b&b, it was our own house - separate bedroom, living room, washer/dryer (helpful with our 5 year old), and a full kitchen stocked with tons of goodies (our favorite being the giant bowl of freshly picked berries). The views were amazing and the location was close to the airport and within striking distance of downtown Seattle. Penny could not have been more friendly and accommodating. And you can't forget the cute little trail down to the beach. Great spot. We've been before and we will come again.

Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)

A bad first impression
I want to commend who had the good sense to remove all of those paper signs hanging on the wire fence at the intersection of highways 395 and 88.
It was such an injustice to the lovely community of Minden. I notice now they are starting to come back up again, I know it is probably hard for some one to monitor that — very simply a rag tag picture as you are sitting at the red light on Highway 88 especially for folks coming into the area from out of town.

Veterans not forgotten
I am a Korean vet and 78 years old, a retired building contractor after 40 years and two back surgeries. I'm now living on a modest income, and could not afford to get upper dentures fixed or replaced and the VA could not help me.
I saw an ad on TV last Veterans Day for free dental work with Holmes and Mannikko Dentistry in Carson City for veterans in need of cleaning and cavity check for one day only. I went to their office on Washington Street, and was greeted by Brenda Horton from Adopt-A-Vet, chapter 388 for Northern Nevada, who put me a qualifying list because I needed full denture on top and partial on the bottom, approximately $9,000 worth of work.
After about 5-6 months, I got a call from Brenda that a Gardnerville dentist, Timothy Pinther on Riverview Drive in Gardnerville, was willing to donate the work and his time. His staff and he treated me like a king, and Brenda from Adopt-A-Vet could not have been nicer.
I just wanted to thank them all and how grateful I am for all their help.

Looking for Conservatives
I am appalled to hear the campaign rhetoric spouted by Republican hopefuls in the past few weeks. One of them wants the Second Amendment to be re-visited, another thinks the minimum wage should be raised, and a third thinks a national voter I.D. would be racist. Maybe some of their remarks were taken out of context, but let me try to 'clear the air' as some readers may believe in all three.
First, the Second Amendment: the Founders of this great country knew what they were doing when they included the right to bear arms in the Bill of Rights. They had seen through personal experience what an unarmed populace would suffer from it's own government when said government exceeded its authority and responsibility to the people. America would not exist today if it's people didn't have the right to defend themselves against threats foreign and domestic. The Founding Fathers were a group of very special men called upon to establish a unique and exceptional nation unlike any before or since. It was up to the people to elect their leaders and determine their futures by divine right. Not by the permission of some king or despot.
Second, the minimum wage: it is my understanding that the minimum wage was established to protect young, inexperienced workers from "sweat shop" conditions. The minimum wage is meant for workers without the necessary education, experience, or maturity to demand a higher wage. Typically, it is for teens still in high school, living at home, working their first job. Many businesses pay more than the mandatory minimum wage to start. It was never intended to be a living wage. If you are an older employee no longer living at home or have a family maybe you should consider going back to school or getting additional training to make yourself more valuable to a perspective employer. Make no mistake, businesses exist to make a profit and reward owners and employees for there hard work and dedication. If the business is not profitable how can it pay its employees?
Third, a national identification card: I should think that everyone could see the wisdom of this one. It would help assure that one man (woman), one vote would again be the rule of law. I am of the understanding that in certain circumstances some voters have voted several times in the same election. This is not only illegal, it's immoral, and destroys one of the key tenets of democracy. Each of us has an equal responsibility to elect those who will lead us.

Minibosses is an independent progressive rock band originally from Northampton, Massachusetts and now located in Phoenix, Arizona. They are known for their video game music covers, which are instrumental rock variations of the theme music from classic Nintendo video games such as Mega Man, Metroid, and Castlevania. Such covers earned Minibosses the best cover band award in the Phoenix New Times Best of Phoenix 2006.
From 1997 to 1999, guitarist Aaron Burke and drummer Matt Wood played in Jenova Project, one of the earliest video game cover bands, along with other friends from the same dorm at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. In January 2000, Burke and Wood recruited bassist Ben Baraldi to form Minibosses.[1] Initially, the band played both video game covers as well as original songs, and self-released their first album, Minibosses, in September 2000. They were unsatisfied with the quality of this album and have since released new versions of their covers (as well as new covers) on the Minibosses/Penny Winblood split and Brass album. At the same time, they replaced their older songs, which had been freely available to download, with the newer versions found on Brass.[1] From 2000 to present, the band has toured continuously while recording material for new albums.[2] During this time, the video game cover scene has matured, with the rise in popularity of sites such as VGMix and OverClocked ReMix, giving the band the opportunity to play at such events as DEF CON, Penny Arcade Expo, Arcadia Festival and the Atomix Gamer Choice Awards.[2] Minibosses often tour throughout Arizona and California, and occasionally return to the Northeast to perform, most notably at the Middle East where they recorded their live album, Live at the Middle East.
The band has gone through several changes, mostly on second guitar, which is now held by Jeff Owens. Ben Baraldi is still a member of the band, but is "on sabbatical" according to the band's Facebook page, and played guitar for several shows in 2010.

Game themes falsely attributed to Minibosses[edit]
There are various video game song remixes floating around the Internet that are falsely attributed to Minibosses, perhaps by mistaken fans or newcomers to the genre. These include a remix of the theme from the first level of Doom, the stage music for Big Blue from F-Zero (which is actually from a guitar arrangement of F-Zero X) and the Tetris theme (which is actually the Russian folk song "Korobeiniki") as performed by Ozma. Minibosses only play NES game music, although they did release original songs and non-Nintendo covers on their first album, Minibosses, as well as play the theme to Halo for PAX 2007's Omegathon.
