Since i have to hide a VGA cable (with connectors), S-video, AC power cable (with connectors) and speaker wire, I need something special for that corner, the standard molding won't do it. A flat strip of white wood would do it (3 inches wide).
There is also a PC behind that box near the cables. and I plan on painting the sensorbar wire the same color as the wall to make the wife happier. I didn't plan on spending that much time and effort on it, but she wanted it to be as stealth as possible. I had all the equipment except for the rear-speakers in storage, so it didn't cost too much. The transcoder, adapters, and cabling did cost about $200, but now that room actually gets some use and I can play Wii while the wife watches TV.

Dr Fresno was absolutely fantastic! She took her time and made sure all of our concerns were addressed. I highly recommend her!
She was our baby;s pediatrician. She never bothered to learn my baby's name and never knew why I had scheduled visits. She didn't seem to care the two times that my baby got sick and scheduked us visits of which we waited almost an hour an a half while my baby was crying because of how much pain he was in and she didnt even see us she just sent another doctor to take us in. Her office staff were rude and just gossiped in spanish about the patients walking in and they just treated us like a number.
We had a great experience bringing our Son to the new office in Otay Ranch - it was great to have a closer location and we are looking forward to having Dr. Fresno as our pediatrician.
Dr. Fresno has been the doctor of my two daughters Daniela and Alexa since they were born. She has been able to make them feel comfortable even when they were scared of shots. She explains things clearly to me and the kids. My girls love Dr. Fresno.

Making waves with xdesktopwaves
If even the most imaginative desktop background is starting to bore you, it's time for a change. xdesktop waves allows you to change your desktop into a water scape. You can add rain and storms or just drag your mouse to liven things up.
Water attracts millions of holi day makers to the seaside, lakes, or rivers every year. Now, Oliver Hamann has developed a desktop tool to bring the wet look to the desktop. Oliver's xdesktopwaves [1] pro gram floods your desktop and makes waves when you drag your mouse and move windows. The program gives you a variety of options that allow users to add effects such as rain and storms or to change the color of the water. There is no need to do without your favorite wallpaper – the waterscape that xdesk-topwaves gives you is transparent. Do-It-Yourself The application is available from the project homepage. There are no ready to-run packages, so you will need to build the program from the source code. All you need is the gcc compiler and the developer packages for the graphical sys tem. Many distributions call the required package XFree86-devel or xorg-devel. Unpack the xdesktopwaves-1.3.tar.gz archive and change to the directory that this step creates, xdesktopwaves-1.3. Then enter make to compile the pro gram. Become root, and then type make install to copy the program file to /usr/ X11R6/ bin and the manpage to /usr/ X11R6/ man/ man1.

CBNNews.com - BEIRUT, Lebanon - Senior members of the Lebanon-based Hezbollah terror organization turned down a request by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to meet with them.
"I am going to meet with all of the political parties as [is] possible," Carter told reporters shortly after arriving in Beirut on Tuesday.
"I understand that several leaders of Hezbollah said they were not going to meet with any president or former president of the United States, so I don't know yet," he said.
A senior member of Hezbollah told The Associated Press off the record that the group may issue a statement on Wednesday or Thursday.
In April, Carter met with exiled Hamas chief Khaled Mashaal in Damascus, although the U.S. also considers Hamas a terror organization.
Carter had meetings scheduled with Lebanese President Michel Suleiman and Prime Minister Fuad Saniora.
The former president said while in Lebanon, he will assess whether the Carter Center, headquartered in Atlanta, will monitor the country's next parliamentary elections.
"I will also be making an assessment on whether the Carter Center will monitor the elections that we hope will be held on time next June," Carter said.

This article integrates both industry agnostic recommendations and best practices developed in a white paper written to aid a government agency through its SOA journey. All sections with tedious specifics and customer references have been removed in order to focus on the most fundamentally important aspects of the original paper.
This article will be presented in three parts:
- Part 1 - Introduces governance and discusses Enterprise, IT and SOA governance
- Part 2 - Discusses the governance lifecycle and how to organize for SOA and SOA governance
- Part 3 - Presents governance maturity, tooling, vitality and success patterns
The Need for a Governing Process Providing the Required Checks and Balances to Assure Success
SOA Governance may be viewed as an augmentation of IT governance since it is primarily focused on business services strategy and on the lifecycle management of services (single services as well as the network of services) to ensure their business value to the enterprise.
Moving to SOA represents a substantial challenge for organizations. Besides introducing new technologies and responsibilities, SOA requires a change from application-based thinking to an enterprise-wide perspective intended to control how workflows are accomplished and how services and a portfolio of services are developed, deployed and managed throughout their lifecycle to accomplish enterprise business objectives.
SOA governance certainly should include elements of enforcement, control and policing, but it needs to be much more. Since a primary SOA objective is the identification, development, deployment and lifecycle management of services (and portfolios of services), SOA governance cannot be rigid or autocratic but must become a collaborative effort involving centralized IT management with the active participation of internal (and external, if required) communities of interest (COIs).
The importance of involving Communities of Interest in the SOA Governance process cannot be overestimated. Many of the benefits of SOA are based on the sharing of services, as well as the sharing of information, best practices architectures and business processes and objectives. For this reason, strong consideration should be given to the early adoption of a federated SOA Governance model. This should include the early establishment of a Core SOA team, or SOA Center of Excellence (COE), whose role is one of collaboration with the Program Office to share needs, services, and resources for the good of the enterprise.
Collaboration between semi-autonomous, interconnected business units is often difficult. To overcome this natural institutional friction, SOA Governance can begin informally and on even an ad hoc basis, but it should naturally progress over time to more formalized oversight with standards, best practices, and enterprise alignment as its ultimate goal. A key element in making this collaborative process work is, of course, executive level buy-in. Without the commitment of both leadership and enterprise communities of interest, the potential benefits of SOA can be easily lost.
Governance Introduction
Good governance is all about transparency - ensuring that everyone involved in an activity clearly understands their individual roles and responsibilities, what expectations the other team members have of them, and how they personally contribute to the overall goals. In this section we examine the importance of governance and we define SOA governance and its relationship with Enterprise as well as IT Governance.
Why Governance
One definition of governance is the set of rules, practices, roles, responsibilities and agreements whether formal or informal that control how we work. In another words, for each activity we need to define:
- What needs to be done
- How it should be done
- Who should do it
- How it should be measured
The key phrase in the above definition is control how we work. This level of control can be at a level anywhere from very light and unobtrusive control (guidance) to a very tight and bureaucratic level of control (policing). Neither does the work of governance mean management, per se. Governance determines who has the authority to make decisions. Management is the process of making and implementing the decisions.
If we think about the What, How, Who, and measurement of the standard IT project, we see that these functional attributes are not always well defined either. The business reasons for having an Information Technology (IT) function has come about to bring agility to what the business does. But IT implementation has always faced the dilemma of not being a fast and agile process itself. Therefore, IT projects are very much prone to temptations of cutting corners and eliminating and bypassing vital steps. Many times, the âWhatâ of an IT Project, in the form of functional and non-functional requirements, are not complete and it is left to the imagination of the IT individual(s)/department on what should be created. It is normally influenced by individual styles and preferences. Measurement of the project results will usually not happen as the development team moves onto the next project.
So while the state of IT Governance leaves something to be desired, we are now faced with the challenge of migrating to a services approach with SOA. Moving to SOA represents a considerable challenge for any organization, especially since: SOA introduces new technologies, roles and responsibilities; SOA requires new patterns of thought of taking an enterprise-wide viewpoint, rather than focusing on any one department, or specific Line of Business (LOB) area.
The potential benefits of SOA may not be achieved without the enforcement rigor around development, deployment and operational management of services across the enterprise. Lessons learned from past attempts at SOA indicate that the mere proliferation of services in the absence of governance policies will not realize a Service Oriented Architecture. Lack of SOA governance impacts any organization's ability to realize the potential benefits of service orientation, by allowing inconsistencies, gaps and overlaps in the software development process that makes reuse and business agility difficult, if not impossible. Thus, without governance, the SOA journey is likely to fail.
Implementing SOA successfully in any organization will create new and additional challenges to people, process and technology that must be addressed through sound and effective governance. Without such governance, business agility is impossible, service ownership will remain locked within silos, portfolio management will remain balkanized and ineffective, and security will be in islands instead of achieving a more holistic, enterprise-wide view.
Enterprise, IT and SOA Governance
SOA governance extends, or augments IT governance further aligning IT and business by governing the lifecycle of business services as manifested in IT systems. Deploying SOA should serve as a catalyst for an organization to start thinking about improved corporate and IT governance in general, as well as how to best implement SOA governance practices specifically. Adoption of SOA raises new issues in IT decision rights, measurement and control.
SOA governance augments IT governance as enterprises focus further on Service-Orientation adoption. SOA provides a distinctive enterprise-level approach for designing and delivering cross functional initiatives, closely involving both business and IT in the collective pursuit of the enterprise's strategy and goals. This form of SOA governance introduces the use of business policies, both enterprise-level and department level policy invocation, which provides the discipline referenced above.
Establishing SOA Governance should also be seen as providing another opportunity to bridge any gaps between enterprise and IT governance. SOA governance would benefit from existing IT and Enterprise governance. However, lack of existing IT and Enterprise governance, or operationalizing the IT and Enterprise governance practices should not stop enterprises from establishing SOA governance. In many cases, the need for SOA governance has encouraged enterprises to revisit and reinvigorate their IT and Enterprise governance.
Figure 1. Enterprise, IT and SOA Governance an image
Conceptually, the way that the relationship between Enterprise, IT, and SOA governance changes over time is shown in figure 1 above.
Initially, SOA governance has limited scope and concerns itself mainly with a fairly limited area where IT and Business interests overlap.
As the organization increases its level of SOA maturity, the scope of SOA governance will expand significantly. The business and IT communities should gradually increase their degree of overlap until eventually an expanded SOA governance role merges with IT governance, and IT governance itself is subsumed into an overall corporate approach to governance.
Generally speaking, enterprise level governance establishes the rules and the manner in which an enterprise conducts its business. Enterprise governance includes establishing compliance goals, its strategy within the marketplace, according to its principles of doing business. IT governance represents a significant portion of enterprise governance, due to the horizontal nature of IT and the broad reliance on IT around the world. Since almost everyone in an enterprise uses IT assets to complete their responsibilities, and all persistent information is stored in IT systems, the impact of effective IT governance is highly visible.
SOA Governance typically defines additional nuances and changes to IT Governance to ensure that the concepts and principles for Service Orientation are managed appropriately and that the organization is able to deliver on the stated business goals for SOA. In addition, SOA Governance drives organizational change for better partnering between business and IT in order to achieve a higher degree of business value by optimizing return on investments and improving business agility. This is done by associating business requirements with business services instantiation. This association, if conducted rigorously, results in better risk management and predictability in all phases of IT system implementation.
Since SOA is a distributed approach to architecture that may span multiple lines of business domains (internal and external) as well as IT domains there is a greater need for effective SOA governance. In addition SOA Governance provides a framework for the reuse and sharing of services, a key value derived from leveraging SOA.
IT Governance
IT Governance can be defined as:
- Establishing and implementing decision making rights associated with IT.
- Establishing mechanisms and policies used to control and measure the way IT decisions are made and carried out.
One of the most important aspects of IT Governance is Architecture Governance, which is defined below.
Architecture Governance
Architectures are controlled at an enterprise-wide level by practicing architecture governance. Enterprise Architecture (EA) plays a significant role in governance as the EA discipline defines and maintains the architecture models, governance and transition initiatives needed to effectively coordinate semi-autonomous groups towards common business and/or IT goals.
SOA Governance
- Business services strategy
- Lifecycle of services to ensure the business value of SOA
- Enablement of the services approach
- Aligning business and IT governance towards the goal of achieving business objectives
SOA Governance is frequently a catalyst for improving overall IT governance, particularly in large organizations with a reliance on legacy IT infrastructure.
Mechanics of the governance model
SOA governance ensures successful Business and IT alignment. It enforces agreed upon Policies and Standards. These policies and standards guide the governed processes that are managed and monitored by governing processes, standards and metrics; and implemented by procedures.
Figure 2 points out Compliance, Communication, Vitality and Exceptions/Appeals. These are the most important mechanisms in governance. We address each of them separately.
Figure 2. Mechanics of Governance an image
Governed processes are guided by policies and standards. Defining policies and identification of standards have a significant importance for governance best practices. However, policies and standards without compliance marginalizes their value. To this end, concepts such as control points, Policy Decision Points and Policy Enforcement points are essential in governance. Section 2.4 is dedicated to policies and policy management for this purpose.
Clear communication is essential to governance. Communication is needed within the enterprise as well as with partners, providers/suppliers and clients. Communication is about delivering the right message, to the right people, at the right time. It is a key enabler to moving people through the various stages of any process requiring awareness, understanding, commitment and adoption.
Leveraging open standards such as XML based messaging and using the Web Services communication framework has the potential to transform how business class messaging is accomplished through new technology use.
Exceptions and Appeals
Governance should not be a set of static processes without any flexibility. As part of the governance life cycle, governance processes may be appealed, or waived as exceptions require. In managing and monitoring policies and standards compliance, an appeal, or waiver process needs to be built for cases where achieving compliance is either temporarily or permanently impossible. Appeals, or waivers are a very sensitive topic, because on the one hand it has to be flexible enough to accommodate these exceptions, while on the other be stringent enough prevent unnecessary exceptions that may set uncontrollable precedence.
As time goes by things will change and governance processes must adapt. This is called vitality. We have dedicated section later in the article to further discuss governance Vitality.
Governance policies and policy management
Business process management (BPM) drives the creation of services through the identification, definition and creation of service operations. Compliance with the many rules and laws becomes a key driver behind governance. These service operations have design time and run time business processes that should be mapped, and benchmarked with key performance indicators established to enable service level agreements, based on Quality of Service (QoS) parameters.
Policy management provides a mechanism to allocate IT resources according to defined policies, or rules established by the enterprise. Policies dictate the data quality, integrity and retention requirements. Policies allow rules to take the form of if, then conditional statements, where actions are executed to account for a given condition. The application programs must be empowered to establish their formal program policies into procedures which are implemented into systems, tools for execution.
Policies are built into systems establishing policy decision points (PDPs), where events are defined and decisions made. The PDPs are configured to support various conditions and react accordingly. PDPâs are synchronized with policy enforcement points (PEPs), which monitor events, and execute the policies within the context of the PDP. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has defined standards for localizing policy decision points, enabling a decentralized enterprise support structure, while integrating into a higher level policy management system.
Policy enforcement points exist within the network and IT infrastructure used for monitoring events. A myriad of tools are required to provide the proper IT governance and access control at a macro level. Each application program must support their own infrastructure; however, the key to a service-oriented architecture is the agility of data transport to new communities of interest. Tools for web services management, including service registries, repositories and metadata catalogs, asset tracking and fault/performance monitoring are required to enable the policy enforcement function. The IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) standards define a configuration management database (CMDB) which hosts these data elements that require tracking. The IT tools are required to collect and report on the many data transactions, tracked to individual users, along with key performance indicators, and then report them accurately to the appropriate Application Program.
Here are some policy examples:
- Policies might start at the business level:
-Projects must comply with Internal Architecture guidelines
-Security and regulatory compliance policy reviews are mandatory for all IT projects
- Policies could represent more specific regulatory compliance issues:
-Patient personal identifiable information must be communicated and stored securely. (HIPPA)
-All financial transactions must provide traceability and tamper proof mechanisms for mandatory audit records. (Sarbanes Oxley)
- Project outsourcing initiative might represent its policy as:
-Outsourced company must create same service lifecycle deliverables as are created in house.
- Higher level policies will often need to be translated to technical policies that can be effectively enforced by active policy enforcement tools.
- Information security examples:
-Messages must contain an authorization token
-Password element lengths must be at least 6 characters long and contain both numbers and letters
-Every operation message must be uniquely identified and digitally signed
- There are also design related technical policies that are needed to ensure
interoperability and reuse:
-Do not use RPC encoded style web services
-Do not use Solicit-Response style of web service operations
-Do not use XML or wildcards
- Each organization, as part of the strategy and planning process for SOA, should think about and create its set of standards and policies for its SOA program and the SOA service development lifecycle. Specific policy service examples follow.
- The Service Specification should contain:
-Descriptions of what function is performed by each service operation
-Input/output message formats, and sample data for each service operation
-A definition of the corresponding task in the Component Business Model (CBM)
- The Service Specification should NOT contain:
-Any information on how the service will be implemented (provided the service contract is maintained, the provider may change the implementation of the service at any time, e.g. when retiring an obsolete IT system)
-Any reference to a sequence or order in which operations should be executed. Each operation call should be considered as a discrete task, and sequences of tasks should be defined as business processes/automated business processes) in separate documentation
Governance Standards
A standard is a rule or requirement that controls the service lifecycle. The governed service must adhere to the standard. Standards change very infrequently and a violation is not allowed or requires an explicit exception. In case an organization decides to deploy web services, the following table could be example of standards they may designate to follow:
Table 1. Examples of Standards for Web Services
|Alternatives Proposed
|WS-CompositeApplicationFramework (WS-CAF)
|WS-Context (WS-Ctx)
WS-CoordinationFramework (WS-CF)
SOAP with Attachment
|WS-I Basic Profile
SOA borrows concepts such as Policy, Service Level Agreement and Quality of service from other aspects of Information Technology such as network management and managing IT infrastructure. Since at this time there is no SOA policy management and policy related standards in place, reference to standards defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and or ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) is highly recommended.
In part one we learned about governance in general and discussed Enterprise, IT and SOA governance and how they are related. In part 2, we walk through governance lifecycle and how best we should organize for SOA and SOA governance.

A friend coming from the UK got me another bag recently, and I continue to use it to enhance nutrition in desserts and breads I bake. Of this cocoa berry product, the company says, "Linwoods Milled Flaxseed, Cocoa and Berries blend boasts incredible antioxidants qualities, particularly when compared to other fruit and vegetables. An adult would need to eat a total of 1 cabbage, 3 full broccoli, 6 carrots, 3 apples, 1 grapefruit and 10 tomatoes to get the same amount of antioxidants contained in just two spoonfuls of this new super food!"
Decadent and delicious! I have to say I was surprised at the amount of flavour the Linwoods mix offered them! Made brownies using their cocoa product, enhanced with a little melted dark chocolate. Also substituted 25gms butter with 25gms EVOO, and added some brandied burgundy cherries to the mix. This is my entry for the Linwoods Cocoa Delight Recipe Development Competition.
My one and only jar of brandied burgundy cherries was disappearing fast, and I felt compelled to use them again before they were gone. I recently topped these divine Chocolate Pavlovas we did for the Daring Bakers with these preserved cherries. Adding some to the brownie batter, I thought the brownies might turn out nice, but I didn't expect them to turn out this nice. The cocoa berry mix and dark chocolate added great depth in colour and flavour, and the brandied bing cherries took them straight from snack to 'dessert' level! Moist, dark and deep, the verdict was out the minute I sliced them! YUM!!
Served them up with some unsweetened whipped cream topped with some more preserved cherries of course! Thank you Linwoods for this wonderful product. Loved experimenting with it, and hope to try it on some more sweet stuff in the near future. Thank you gorgeous Bethany for introducing me to the world of Linwoods!
Cocoa Berry Dessert Brownies
Own recipe
75gms unsalted butter, soft
25gms Extra Virgin Olive Oil {EVOO}
2/3 cups vanilla sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
50gms dark chocolate, melted and mixed with 1 tsp EVOO
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup Milled Flaxseed, Cocoa and Berry mix from Linwoods
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup brandied burgundy cherries, drained, halved
Preheat the oven to 180C.
Serve with unsweetend whipped cream, and some brandied cherries.

WASHINGTON (PAI) - Unionists will hit the streets by the thousands in August, in dozens of congressional districts nationwide, campaigning all-out for comprehensive immigration reform, AFL-CIO legislative specialist Andrea Zuniga DiBitetto says.
DiBitetto told Press Associates Union News Service on July 30 that the fed outlined its plans in a July 23 closed-door meeting with four Democratic U.S. senators who assembled and pushed through - as part of a bipartisan 8-senator coalition - the comprehensive immigration reform plan the Senate passed last month.
But the GOP-run House doesn't intend to take up that comprehensive plan, and has deliberately avoided tackling its core issue: Legalization and eventual citizenship for the 7.5 million undocumented adults in the U.S. and the 3.5 million undocumented kids.
The point of the pressure, the federation told the senators, is to get U.S. House members, especially Republicans, to tackle the entire immigration issue, including that component. The senators "agreed to do all they could to help," DiBitetto says.
"If we can galvanize all these disparate parts of America, we can prevail," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., the GOP leader among the eight, said at the AFL-CIO on July 30.
The first chance for both the senators and the fed will come August 2 in Ames, Iowa, when one of the Democrats, Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois, joins longtime pro-worker Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, at a town hall meeting at the University of Iowa.
The two plan to directly challenge the nativist, racist statements of Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. In his latest statement, King charged undocumented people develop leg muscles "as large as cantaloupes" from carrying drugs across the U.S.-Mexico border.
Unionists and their allies will campaign for immigration reform in Ames, and elsewhere, too. The senators agreed. "They said they'd do anything to win August," DiBitetto said. "We'll make sure we have a positive presence at their town halls."
The federation plans marches, rallies and visits to lawmakers' offices in the states. It also aims to be a large presence at publicized events, such as town halls, to ensure that the majority voice - for comprehensive immigration reform - gets through.
At the same time, the fed will still work Washington, meeting congressional staffers and lobbying for tackling all immigration issues, notably the path to citizenship.
The GOP House majority has been most resistant to that. And the GOP advocates giving local law enforcement officers power to demand papers from anyone they suspect of being undocumented. If the person can't produce proof, he or she can be arrested, detained and deported. Labor hates and opposes that, calling it racial profiling.

No Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, Megadeth, or Iron Maiden, and no Testament. No Crue, no Ratt, no GNR, Skidrow, Lizzy Borden, and definitely no Poison or Warrant. There're plenty of new (and good) post-2010 bands in those genres. Not gonna happen, though.
You want post 2010 bands? IMO, metal, like many genres, has its best music taken from many different times and styles.
I_Wanna_Cookie posted...
Heh. Nah. Almost everyone loves the big four of metal or Maiden. They've just been overused. Give the new blood a chance; it'd capture our era.
Back in the day, Ratt and Crue (up to Shout) were metal. Poison and Warrant, however, need to remain dead.
Answering the other guy: nah, some old iconic metal would be good, like when stations play a few throwbacks, for instance. But there's excellent 2009- metal out there right now -- better than it's been for decades. Move it forward. Vrock could be filled with entirely new songs, as could a thrash/bordering extreme metal station.
I used to be unimpressed with newer bands as well, believe me. My tastes are acute. But it's good out there now.
Samples. youtube these:
Hard Rock to New Wave of Hair Metal:
Airbourne - Girls in Black;
Crashdiet - Needle in Your Eye
Crashdiet - Rebel;
Crazy Lixxx - Riot Avenue;
Heavy to New Wave of Thrash:
Steelwing - Full Speed Ahead;
Skull Fist - Ride the Beast;
Enforcer - Katana;
Christian Mistress - Riding on the Edges;
Ravage - Grapes of Wrath;
Ravage - The Shredder;
Relentless - War Without End;
Hexen - No More Color;
Surely there's room for both the young bloods and the pioneers? I don't usually contribute a whole lot to these music topics, but for some reason I feel compelled to write my ideal Classic Metal/Hard Rock station playlist. Indulge me.
Diamond Head - Am I Evil
Judas Priest - Breaking the Law
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction
Iron Maiden - Hallowed be they Name
Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf
Motorhead - Overkill
AC/DC - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Anthrax - Got the Time
Slayer - I am the Law
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Motley Crue - Dr. Feelgood
Dio - Rainbow in the Dark
Yes, each one of those bands are overplayed, but there's great reason for that.
note: Before anyone says "How can you not include Pantera in list such as this?". Never a fan. My list, my bands.
If you have a problem with potheads, throw your computer out the window right now. Why should you be able leech off the creativity of those you condemn?

"Yes, each one oft hose bands are overplayed, but there's great reason for that"
Of course; we all love them. Personally, I'd save them all for an 80s game. Having a metal station filled with tunes released in the 80s in both a modern and 80s set game is too limited. Listen to at least one of the tracks I listed and you'll know why.
Fromanothertime 4 years ago#27
Definitely agree, a metal station with alot of variety! Death, Atheist or a Cryptopsy song would be nice. I can't help but imagine what kind of chaos i would create on the streets listening to Dillinger esc plan.

Ugh..these topics are always pretty lame. You get a bunch of people..coming in and proclaiming that they know what metal..or rap..or country music really is. And then they list a bunch of obscure band names, thinking that they are the guru of their music genre. Its only a matter of time before someone claims that Blue Oyster Cult is metal.
GTA has had plenty of metal stations, sometimes they are mixed with rock. Will there be some less "mainstream" hits? Sure...but there are so many of these under the radar bands..that the chance for your fav...is pretty low.

Motorhead (Doctor Rock please, tired of Ace Of Spades now)
Pantera (or Down or Superjoint Ritual or Hellyeah or all of them)
Judas Priest
Austrian Death Machine
The Devin Townsend Project
Zimmers Hole
Sepultura (early stuff maybe, like the Arise material?)
Just some of the bands I grew up with over the years that I'd love to see on a metal station in a GTA or SR game.
Getting awfully tired of GameFAQs mods removing my posts for being "offensive" when I've done nothing wrong
- Boards
- Grand Theft Auto V
- There should be a metal radio station.

Louisville dropped to fifth and was followed by Arizona, Indiana, Florida, Butler and Gonzaga.
