The first Test between India and England dominated headlines in newspapers from both countries on Friday (November 11), with Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali – Thursday's centurions – hogging the limelight. There was also some scrutiny of Virat Kohli, who faced possibly his first real test as captain on home soil.
Elsewhere, Australia were offered lots of suggestions to turn their fortunes around ahead of their second Test against South Africa – from looking to 1988 for inspiration, to seizing the big moments to batsmen being ruthless.
From silent era of captain MS Dhoni to technicolor of captain Virat Kohli (The Indian Express)
Kohli isn't used to these, especially in home Tests. Six one-sided wins in seven home matches as skipper can make captaincy look easy. It can lead to over-estimation of self and exaggerations from others. It may make one wonder why they made 'captain of India' a big deal, called it the toughest job in the world. They say you have the Midas touch and even you start believing it.
Rajkot, so far, has made Kohli realise why this format is called a 'Test'.
Big Ben Theory as Stokes goes from 'bottle, bottle' to bang, bang (The Indian Express)
On a dry hot July day in London in 2013, Ben Stokes sidled into the seats in the stands at Lord's, and sat next to the psychologist Mark Bawden. He had struggled through the season, was feeling down with his performance, so much so that his captain at Durham, Paul Collingwood, had texted him, "Are you ok?" He wasn't. But he didn't want to share his heartache with his teammates as he didn't want to short-change his boisterous tattoo-star image. But he realised he had to open up to someone, and he decided Bawden was the go-to man.
Harbhajan says spinners tried too many things (The Hindustan Times)
"They are all good spinners, and it's alright to have an off-day. At times, when you try too many things, they don't work in your favour," said Harbhajan, India's third highest Test wicket-taker with 417 scalps. The trio conceded 351 runs, 65.36% of England's tally. Ashwin, the world's top-ranked bowler and India's trump card for over a year, managed just three maidens in 46 overs. Jadeja conceded 86 runs, the most by him in a home Test while Mishra was the least impressive.
Tourists are defying their underdog tag on the sub-continent (Independent)
After two days, England have shown against India that they can bat on the sub-continent after all. For three batsmen to take centuries off an attack including Ravi Ashwin et al is no mean feat and the only question remaining is whether England's own bowlers will fare any better.
True, the pitch in Rajkot has been relatively benign, but it isn't as flat as many which touring sides have encountered in the past. Moeen Ali was unlucky not to bowl Murali Vijay with an absolute snorter which ripped between bat and pad, while a delivery to Gautam Gambhir by the same bowler spat out of the rough and ended up leaping over Jonny Bairstow's shoulder. Chances will come England's way.
Nasser Hussain: The penny has dropped for magic Moeen Ali and he is becoming the batsman I always thought he could be (Daily Mail)
When I first saw Moeen for Worcestershire a few years ago I thought 'crikey this lad can bat' — I only viewed his bowling as a few part-time off-breaks — but people told me that he scored flashy 20s and 30s and then got out. It was the sort of thing people used to say about Michael Vaughan and he turned out to be able to play a bit. But I see what they meant with Moeen because at times with England he has been flashy and prone to giving it away.
Ben Stokes shows other side to his talents with century of graft and craft (The Guardian)
Ben Stokes has risen to prominence as a destructive cricketer but as he lifted his bat to the dressing room in celebration of his century on the second day at Rajkot, the huge smear of dirt down the front of his shirt and the sweat dripping from his brow told its own story.
The 25-year-old's capacity to turn a match in a session is what makes him such an exciting talent, with his most jaw-dropping innings to date being the violent 258 in Cape Town in January when, on a true surface that saw the ball come nicely on to the bat, he was able to ignite the after-burners early and torment South Africa's bowlers.
England legend Stokes Kallis comparisons (Cricket Australia)
Few players deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Jacques Kallis, but former England opener Geoffrey Boycott says Ben Stokes – who notched his fourth Test century against India on Thursday – reminds him of the legendary South African. In his maiden Test innings in India, the aggressive left-hander pounded 128 on the second day of the first Test to become England's third century maker in their first dig and help them post 537.
Former India spinner Dilip Doshi feels the series will be interesting if pitches are good (Mumbai Mirror)
Dilip Doshi was born in Rajkot, grew up in Kolkata, played for India and finally settled in England. It is unlikely that there is anyone at the Saurashtra Cricket Association (SCA) ground who could be more neutral.
"I support quality cricket, sporting pitches," the former left-arm spinner said of the five-Test India-England series that started yesterday. "It will be an interesting series. We'll see a battle of attrition."
Aussies need to identify big moments in Tests: Gilchrist (Press Trust of India)
"Australia shouldn't be panicking. They were very much in the dominant position in that Test match (at Perth against South Africa). Even in at least two of the Test matches in Sri Lanka, they were really in dominant positions and then they let the opposition make a comeback. So that's their biggest concern and they need to work hard on this aspect," Gilchrist told PTI in an interview in Mumbai on Thursday.
Australia's cricketers can look to '88 for inspiration (The Sydney Morning Herald)
Amid the drama of Perth and the subsequent selection and injury fallout, it's been pointed out the last time Australia lost a home season-opening Test was in 1988. There was no shame in that, for the West Indies of that summer were still in their pomp as world champions, loaded with such superstars as Malcolm Marshall, Viv Richards, Gordon Greenidge and Desmond Haynes, and unleashed their latest fast bowling weapon in Curtly Ambrose.
Australia would trail 3-0 in the best-of-five series. That third defeat, at the MCG, came after volatile West Indian quick Patrick Patterson famously stormed into the Australian dressing room after the fourth day's play and declared he would kill them all out in the middle the next day. Why? Because Steve Waugh had had the temerity to bounce tailender Patterson on that fourth day.
Why Kagiso Rabada is the perfect South African cricketer for these times (The Sydney Morning Herald)
If you tried to synthesise the ideal South African cricketer for these times, you could not come up with any better than Kagiso Rabada. He is a fast bowler, with the emphasis on fast, the latest in a trademark line from the republic. Whether or not Dale Steyn makes it back from his latest injury for one last hurrah, Rabada stands at the ready to become his country's spearhead. Bowlologist Damien Fleming says it is the nature of the beast that every attack needs a main man, others to work off and around. South Africa have been blessed in the way theirs have interlinked from generation to generation. When Steyn gingerly had to set down the baton in Perth, Rabada was there to pick it up.
Jason Gillespie: Australia's batsmen need to be ruthless (Cricket Australia)
The performance from Australia's batsmen, the middle order in particular, just simply wasn't good enough in Perth, and questions are quite rightly being asked. We've seen too much of it in Australia's recent history, after the Sri Lanka tour in the winter and now this, and the batsmen need to take responsibility. Now, I don't mean they are playing irresponsibly, but I mean they need to stand up and find a way to get through those tough periods and really be ruthless. That is what Test cricket is all about. Get in and go big. We can't have players doing all the hard work to get to 20 or 30 and then give their wicket away.
Cricket's television ratings plunge as Australia struggle against South Africa (The Sydney Morning Herald)
The Australian team is underperforming and fans are switching off at an alarming level, with the prime-time television audience for the first Test against South Africa evaporating by one-quarter from the corresponding clash in Perth last year against New Zealand.
In a concerning development for Cricket Australia as it prepares to begin formal negotiations with networks over the rights to broadcast cricket from 2018 to 2023, OzTAM ratings show viewer numbers have dropped off a cliff since last summer.
Embrace the change to grow (The Hindu)
Embracing the change is the only way to grow. All the talks about experimentation in Test cricket like the usage of pink ball or a four-day Test is meaningless in the Indian context till the real play-to-finish Test match between Justice Lodha Committee and the BCCI gets over. The Apex Court from time to time is attacking with variety of deliveries and the Board of Control for Cricket in India is trying to defend it steadfastly.
What's Yusuf Pathan like off the field? (The Hindu)
He ruthlessly dismisses bowlers out of the park. Yusuf Pathan's onslaught borders on cricketing violence. Off the field, though, Yusuf is a peace-loving affable person who has a variety of animals and birds as his pets. In his sprawling Baroda home and farmhouse, Yusuf spends time with a horse, a cow, goats, parrots and cats.
Dennis Lillee's search for his greatest inspiration: his primary school teacher (The Sydney Morning Herald)
As Australia searches for its next great fast bowler, one of the most feared tearaways of all time Dennis Lillee, is searching for something else: his primary school teacher. Lillee had a reputation as an uncompromising competitor on the field so you'd be a brave person to bet against the paceman tracking him down (if he's still alive)
Regular Tests the key: Mushy (The Daily Star)
Bangladesh Test captain Mushfiqur Rahim believes that the Tigers will be able to reach a certain level of competence within the next two years if given enough opportunities in the format. The Tigers have been enjoying the T20 entertainment in the ongoing BPL but it seems that the afterglow of their scintillating success in the Test series against England is persisting. And why not when the tour of New Zealand is knocking on the door and there is a lot of promise surrounding Bangladesh's Test cricket. And yesterday was November 10; a day on which, 16 years ago, the Tigers had started their Test journey against India at the Bangabandhu National Stadium.
Mbaks has a wobble, transformation in cricket thrives and more (Daily Maverick)
The biggest shining light of this sporting week is, without a doubt, South Africa's mind-blowing comeback against Australia to claim one of the most impressive wins in Test cricket. Between Temba Bavuma's magic fielding and Kagiso Rabada's brilliant bowling, transformation in cricket is in rude health. Wayde van Niekerk won the first round of the IAAF's popularity contest and has made the shortlist for Athlete of the Year, alongside Usain Bolt and Mo Farah.

I know this is a food blog but diving is another passion of mine therefore decided to shar it here.
I finally got around to upload some videos taken during our vacation last year. Found them while clearing the memory card for our upcoming trip. As some of you might know. Mr. and me are both active divers. Mr. never fail to plan our annual vacation revolving around diving.
Last year, we managed to dive in Sipadan, Mauritius and Seychelles. Very soon we are departing for our 2011 diving trip. This time round I will try to blog as we travel. No idea how well I'm going to cope 😛

(New York, March 31, 2017). Digital Divide Data (DDD), today announced a long-term strategic initiative, teaming with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Intel to digitize one of the largest collections of Archeology and Paleontology in the world at the National Museums of Kenya (NMK).
The first phase of the proposed project will involve digitization of culturally and historically significant artifacts and specimens, the creation of a digital archives platform, and an interactive website ("virtual museum"). The platform will be hosted on the AWS Cloud.
DDD is a recognized leader in providing content, digitization, and data science solutions to cultural heritage organizations. The project will leverage DDD's expertise in large scale digitization and will be managed by DDD's Kenya Operations with its recently established Cloud Services Center of Excellence.
Commenting on the project, Mr. Frank Heitmann, President, DDD said "this landmark collaboration is significant as it provides NMK with the tools to showcase its one-of-a-kind collections to the world and engage various stakeholders using the reach and flexibility of the AWS Cloud. It also provides DDD with the opportunity to provide competency based training to Kenyan youth in areas of digitization, cloud services, mobile technologies, and database administration. These skills are valuable next generation digital skills and is one of the core components of DDD's Digital Skills 2.0 initiative. I want to personally thank AWS and Intel for sponsoring this initiative".

South Korea's Ministry of National Defense (MND) has prioritised a number of military research and development (R&D) programmes for 2017 to boost security against threats from North Korea.
The MND said on 6 January that it is progressing more than 170 projects led by the Defense Acquisition Program Administration's (DAPA's) Agency for Defense Development (ADD).
The MND said areas of R&D that have progressed in 2016 and will continue in 2017 include missile defence and countermeasures technologies directed specifically at North Korean ballistic missile threats.
The MND said it will also prioritise R&D projects on stealth technologies, "laser weapons" to intercept small unmanned systems, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) capable of 24-hour air surveillance and anti-submarine surveillance, and robot technologies to enhance battlefield manoeuvrability.

SHOOTING FROM THE HIP: Three Years of iPhone Street Photography is the first in a series of books that explore the world of iPhone photography using the Hipstamatic app.
The target audience is all people interested in how contemporary mobile photography works and resonates with current and past photographers and artists.
The totally modern iPhone camera still adheres to the great tricks and principles of photography, many of which predate our grandparents.
Knowing these tricks and principles helps you take better photographs on an iPhone or a professional camera that costs more than a farm in Bulgaria.
The shot on the cover shows how knowing an old trick, such as Henri Cartier-Bresson's 1932 photograph of a man jumping a puddle, allowed be to be the only one to get a series of great photographs on my iPhone.
The book has 21 bite-sized and entertaining chapters filled with plenty of examples and guides to further research.
Readers' Comments
This is an entertaining and up-beat book, enjoyable as well as easy to get into and stay afloat in.
The images have an almost infuriating appeal. Unconsciously the eye tries to 'clean up' the fuzziness and gentrify the colours, but fails. One becomes hooked on them.
It is a leading edge book, in the way it acknowledges and works with the unexpected value of a mobile phone camera.
Marcus M Cornelius – Writer and Author
This book is a delight, erudite and educational. Easy to read, easy to like, and easy to look at. The photos have a textured painterly look that grabbed me immediately.
The text flows playfully, prodding the pictures and holding them up and pointing things out. It feels like banter, like a visit to a gallery with a friend. I came out refreshed and enthusiastic.
Forget photography and smart phones, this is the best book on design I've ever read.

Obama Administration 'Deeply Disturbed' by Death Sentence for Christian Woman
The White House and State Department came out against the death sentence handed down to an eight-months pregnant woman in Sudan for refusing to renounce Christianity.
"We are deeply disturbed over the sentencing today of Meriam Yahya Ibrahim Ishag to death by hanging for apostasy. We are also deeply concerned by the flogging sentence for adultery. We understand that the court sentence can be appealed," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said in a statement.
"We continue to call upon the Government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, a right which is enshrined in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution as well as international human rights law," she added. "We call on the Sudanese legal authorities to approach this case with the compassion that is in keeping with the values of the Sudanese people."
According to the Sudan Tribune, a Khartoum court sentenced 27-year-old Ibrahim at the beginning of the month to death by hanging and 100 lashes after convicting her on charges of apostasy and adultery.
"Under Sudan's Islamic Shari'a law, a Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim man, thus any such marriage is considered adulterous. The court later added the charge of apostasy when Ibrahim, who was raised an Orthodox Christian, asserted that she was not a Muslim," the Tribune said, adding that she "was born in Gedarif state, and raised solely by her Christian Ethiopian Orthodox mother as her Muslim Sudanese father was entirely absent from her upbringing."
In 2012, she married Dr. Daniel Wani, a South Sudanese-born U.S. citizen in Khartoum; they currently have a 20-month-old son.
National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said in a statement, "We strongly condemn this sentence and urge the Government of Sudan to meet its obligations under international human rights law."
"We call on the Government of Sudan to respect Ms. Ishag's right to freedom of religion, a universal human right enshrined in Sudan's own 2005 Constitution as well as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," she said.
"Since 1999, Sudan has been designated as a Country of Particular Concern for its ongoing, egregious, and systematic violations of religious freedom. We continue to urge Sudan to fulfill its constitutional promise of religious freedom, and to respect the fundamental freedoms and universal human rights of all its people."
Amnesty International noted there have been no known executions for apostasy since the Sudanese Criminal Code was enacted 1991, but some of the cases were also overturned after the accused recanted their faith.
"The fact that a woman has been sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion is appalling and abhorrent. Adultery and apostasy are acts which should not be considered crimes at all. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law," said Manar Idriss, Amnesty International's Sudan researcher.
"Amnesty International believes that Meriam is a prisoner of conscience, convicted solely because of her religious beliefs and identity, and must be released immediately and unconditionally. The right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, which includes the freedom to hold beliefs, is far-reaching and profound; it encompasses freedom of thought on all matters, personal conviction and the commitment to religion or belief."

Given the name of my blog, you might guess that this answer would be pretty obvious, but it's a little more complex than that. When I finally got serious about my finances, I was faced with an important decision:
- Should I start by paying down my massive credit card and student loan debt?
- Or should I start investing for retirement?
- Or should I start putting money into savings?
All are certainly important goals, and yet each would require some cash flow. Here is the logic that I used to decide what to do first with my disposable income every month:
Step 1: INVEST. Say yes to free money by taking advantage of company match for 401(K)
This sounds simple enough, but I'm sure there are lots of people out there who don't take full advantage of an employer match for retirement contributions to a 401(K). A 401(K) is an employer-based retirement account to which both you and your employer can contribute. Some companies offer to match your contributions up to a set amount — usually 5% or so.
I know that I've briefly considered lowering my retirement contributions below the 6% my company when I think about how much I hate my debt, but the logic I use to talk myself down is this: not taking advantage is like trading the instant 100% nominal return of a 401(K) company match for the 7.9% annualized interest rate of my student loans. As such, there are a lot of things I would give up before giving up this company match. If you meet the income requirements for any form of federal tax credit for retirement savings — such as the Saver's Tax Credit (IRS link) — you should treat contributions to retirement savings in the same way.
Step 2: INVEST. Contribute to a Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is a tax-advantaged retirement account, into you which you put after-tax money whose growth is tax-free, under the condition that this growth is not removed until after retirement (or in a few other special cases). The original contributions to a Roth IRA, however, can be withdrawn at any time without penalty. In this sense, it can be considered fairly liquid.
Step 3: PAY OFF DEBT. Pay the monthly minimums on each account
Wait, I waited to pay off debt until here?
Yes. This makes sense because I got a 100% instant nominal return on the money I sent toward my 401(K) to get the company match. If I need more money to make my minimum payments, I could withdraw money from my 401(K), get hit with the 10% penalty for doing so, and still be up 90%.
And then alternatively, if I run out of cash before paying off all my minimums, I could withdraw from my Roth IRA contributions without penalty.
Some questions you might have are: (1) Why not pay more than the monthly minimums? I'll get to that. (2) Why not pay less than the monthly minimums? That's ignores what the word "minimum" means.
Step 4: SAVE. Build a one-month cash buffer (emergency fund)
I make sure that I have enough cash in a liquid account to pay every expense I have coming in the next 30 days and the 30 days after that. This is sometimes called a two-month buffer. It can also be referred to as an emergency fund.
There are a few reasons to maintain an accessible emergency fund. Some are intangible — such as the peace of mind most people will cite when asked why they keep such a fund — and others very tangible, such as the high cost of getting your hands on money in an emergency.
Other people like to keep a bigger cash emergency fund and I wouldn't argue with them — especially if their situation is very different from mine. I explained how I decided on my preferred size in this post: "Why I don't keep a lot of cash around in an emergency fund."
Step 5: PAY OFF DEBT. Make additional payments to debts with after-tax interest rates above 4%, starting with the highest interest rate
Next, I use remaining disposable income to pay off my higher interest rate debt. It makes sense to me to start with the highest interest rate because those loans are the ones that are costing me the most in interest every month.
Why would I stop this step once I hit 4%? Personal preference mostly. It also has to do with expected long-term returns on equity mutual funds.
Step 6: INVEST. Make additional contributions to 401(K) or traditional IRA
Oh, you still have disposable income left? How lucky. Then I'd use these remaining funds to make additional contributions to either of these pre-tax retirement accounts — the one you pick should depend on which gives you better investment options, based on expense ratios and your preferred allocation. I don't use it, but if it makes sense for you, this could even include online foreign exchange trading.
You know how you can tell I'm the worst blogger alive? Because I needed to have a heading titled, "Conclusion." Also, because I answer so many of my own questions.
Here are some things I didn't include that maybe I'll add someday:
- Long-term savings goals, such as to buy a house
- Health savings account, while switching to a high-deductible plan
- 529 and other vehicles to save for higher education of me or some kid
I would probably put these between 5 and 6, depending on how soon I wanted to reach that long-term savings goal.
How do you decide where to send money first?

10 Years, Eye Empire
The Cotillion Ballroom
11120 W. Kellogg
Wichita, KS, 67209
Doors 7:00 PM / Show 8:00 PM
This event is all ages
Watch & Listen
On their sixth full-length album Isolate and Medicate, multi-platinum alternative rock trio Seether – Shaun Morgan [vocals, guitar], Dale Stewart [bass, backing vocals], and John Humphrey [drums] – strip their trademark melodic thrash to its core and deliver the most poignant, passionate, and powerful record of their illustrious career. With rigorous minimalism and maturity, chief songwriter Shaun Morgan – long one of rock's most unheralded melodists, has become a composer of deep emotion and clear-eyed vulnerability. The band too has developed into one of rock's most fearsome units, playing with precision, grit and authority, yet still light on their feet. After 15+ years of hardscrabble success, it's evident that Seether felt like survival was not enough. They had something to prove with this new album – somewhere farther to go.
One reason for the new approach must surely be Seether's close partnership with ace producer Brendan O'Brien (Springsteen, Pearl Jam). More like a member of the band than a hired gun, O'Brien repeatedly championed Morgan as one of music's most gifted songwriters and vocalists and Seether as one of rock's most extraordinary bands. His unrelenting faith in their talent and potential has been something of a North Star for Seether, helping them struggle through and outlast some very dark times.
Recognizing that he needed to limit distractions, in early 2013 Morgan went about constructing a refuge in his New Hampshire home – a space where these new songs could develop and take shape. "I actually built a room that I could write in," he recalls. "I personally pulled out the carpet, put in wood flooring, decorated, and painted. After getting off the road, it was a process of preparation to get the environment just right. I made a place that I felt comfortable and creative in. I was able to be safe and isolated, concentrating on writing music instead of dealing with the distractions that come with daily life."
Lyrically, Morgan has never been afraid to look his demons in the eye. The people in these songs confront the truth with simmering rage; it's the fuel they need to make them feel alive. "The whole record is a collection of diary entries," Morgan revealed. "It's just where I'm at and what I'm going through. I'm writing songs about getting through whatever situations I'm in at the time. These songs deal with relationships and life situations."
Morgan emerged with a collection of fleshed-out ideas that the musicians honed during rehearsals together in drummer John Humphrey's native Oklahoma. By the time they assembled with O'Brien to record the album at Hollywood's Henson Studios in January 2014, their vision had clearly come into focus.
"It felt so natural," explains Humphrey. "When we get together, there's an indescribable chemistry. That's all over this album. The three of us can jam together and finish a song pretty quickly. We were really focused. These guys are my second family. We're tight musically and otherwise."
The band cut the entire album in sixteen days. The swift recording pace did not allow them to smother the tracks with overproduction, but rather gave the songs a chance to breathe. On working with O'Brien, bassist Dale Stewart enthused, "He's like a fourth band member at this point. We understand each other. He likes to get in there and work quickly and he encourages us to be ourselves. We often followed our first instinct. That allowed us to capture the moment."
The album opener, "See You At The Bottom," quickly locks in with brutal force as Morgan's Beatles-meets-Nirvana wail comes screaming out of the speakers. From there, the album never lets up.
Gnashing riffs underpin another infectious chorus on the virulent first single, "Words As Weapons." Morgan's remarkable ear for indelible melodies is truly the band's secret weapon. It's what makes Isolate and Medicate so damn listenable. Morgan makes unrelenting despair a fun listen.
"Same Damn Life" – a boiling rejection of suburban sprawl juxtaposed against Morgan's surgery falsetto – is a pop metal surprise. "I always felt like there was something there," Morgan said of the song. "It started from a riff and went into a vocal idea. I'm a big fan of The Beatles. It's fun to do something with that pop element. Those are the songs that stick with you."
The album's centerpiece, "Crash," is quite possibly the most beautiful song Seether has ever recorded. Gorgeous vocal lines and warm, fuzzed-out guitars cascading into pulsating wall-of-sound atmospherics mark an undeniable creative peak for the band. "It's different from what we've done in the past and that excited all of us," Stewart says. "It doesn't follow the stereotypical formula. It's pretty. It's heavy. It's emotional and deep."
Another reason for the band's fresh outlook is the strong support and enthusiasm they feel from new label partners The Bicycle Music Company/Concord Music Group. The brothers-in-arms feel was galvanized with their new team. "In one of our first meetings with the label, we played everybody five or six completed songs," Morgan remembers. "This marked the first time anybody outside of the band and Brendan listened to it. Afterwards, everybody was really excited and happy. Seeing the level of enthusiasm was great. That felt like the moment everything came together. It was a rebirth, in a sense."
Seether has worked tirelessly to reach this point. The hard rocking outfit originally from Pretoria, South Africa has now released eight albums in all, two of which have gone Platinum and two more that are certified Gold along with a live concert DVD that has sold over 500,000 units – for total worldwide sales in excess of 4.5 million. The consistent hit makers have quietly amassed eleven #1 singles and seventeen Top 5 multi-format hits resulting in singles sales that top seven million – a level of success few artists working today can match. Seether has averaged 120 performances a year, crisscrossing the globe, emerging into headlining mainstays and featured performers on many of the world's biggest rock festivals.
Isolate and Medicate will undoubtedly resonate deeply with the group's fiercely loyal fans. "I hope everybody can feel this," concludes Humphrey. "It's a special album for us, and we put everything we had into it."
Morgan completes the sentiment, "I want them to walk away having enjoyed the music. I want them to get the same emotional sense and happiness we feel listening to it. It's so important and tied to memories we've all had. When somebody listens, it'll hopefully make them feel good. They will know they're not alone. That's the reason we do it."
After a year and a half on the road touring 2010's Feeding The Wolves, 10 Years reached a turning point. It was time to move forward and take full control of their career by launching their own label, Palehorse Records. In addition, the band decided to self-produce their fourth album, Minus the Machine, at drummer/guitarist Brian Vodinh's Kashmir Recording.
Splitting up with a major label after five years was "a very scary step to take," Hasek admits. "It's like breaking up with a longtime girlfriend. You're used to the motions, but when it becomes stale and unhappy, you need to move on and get energy back into your life. There was no anger on either side. We just painlessly parted ways."
Working together as a band for the first time since writing the Gold-selling album The Autumn Effect helped 10 Years go back to their roots, without label-enforced pressure to create a radio-friendly "hit," and free to experiment with the hard rock sounds that lie at the core of their music. "Our true fans who buy the albums, not just the singles, understand that our singles, for the most part, misrepresent the entire album," says Hasek. "As a band, we like to explore more and go a little left of center with song structures. We wanted to create an album that has no boundaries, and where we didn't have to make every song 'three minutes and 30 seconds' for a label to approve it. There's a fine line with that, of course, and we're very aware of it. We all grew up on rock music, and as many albums as we've written, the way we've written them, it's ingrained in us to work within a time frame that fits radio. There are definitely songs that work well for that, but as a whole, we wanted this album to represent a journey in a sense."
This chapter of 10 Years began in 2001, when Hasek took over as vocalist. Three years later they released their independent album, Killing All That Holds You, featuring the groundbreaking single "Wasteland," which led to their signing with Universal Records. "That song was created in 2001 or 2002," says Hasek. "We weren't seeking to write a smash single. We were just writing music." The Autumn Effect (2005) led to widespread radio and video play, a fiercely loyal fan base, and tours with heavyweights like Linkin Park, Korn and the Deftones. When their sophomore effort, Division, was released in 2008, 10 Years had cemented their place as one of hard rock's top contenders and most sought-after live bands. Still, says Hasek, despite the success, "it all came to a head" with the band's 3rd major label release, Feeding The Wolves. "When you feel like you're being told to go through motions and jump through hoops, it takes the heart out of it," he says. "We know that we need a hit and we understand that it's important. However, as musicians, we're not a band that says, 'We're going to make a hit.' It's better to do what comes naturally and then figure out the after-effect."
With that in mind, 10 Years created their most powerful songs to date for Minus The Machine, with Hasek again relying on personal experiences for his lyrics. [Insert something about the songs here; reference titles and content.] "Everyone asks about my inspiration for lyrics, and the best thing I can give them is a very generic answer: life," he says. "Life is the experience — it's everything you go through: the ups, the downs. I tend to gravitate more toward the therapy method. I'm not great at writing happy pop songs. So, I usually get the negative emotions out through music. As a person, I'm very happy and thankful for my life, but when it comes to lyrics, it's therapy for me."
One thing that won't change is 10 Years' connection with their fans. With the release of Minus The Machine, the band is looking forward to hitting the road, performing in close contact with their dedicated audience. "After the last touring cycle, we realized where we should strive to be, and that's to be totally fine in the club environment," says Hasek. "We don't plan to chase after arena rock or amphitheaters. If things like that happen, then so be it, but we live and die by the loyalty of the club audiences. Our fans are loyal. They travel with us, and they want us to be loyal to ourselves. That's what keeps them coming back. What we tried to do on this album is really give them what they want and what they need because they've been so good to us through the ups and downs of our career."
"First and foremost, when it's all said and done, we're proud of this album in its entirety," he says. "That speaks volumes to us because we're our own worst critics. We pick everything apart. An album is your child, it's your baby, and you know it better than anyone. To sit back and be 100 percent proud of what we've accomplished is so gratifying, and we think everything else will fall into place. We hope that everyone will enjoy what we've tried to do."
Eye Empire is an American rock supergroup, formed in 2009, consisting of former Dark New Day members Corey Lowery and B.C. Kochmit as well as Donald Carpenter formerly of Submersed. Garrett Whitlock, formerly of Submersed, and Dixie Duncan were Eye Empire's drummer and guitarist respectively from their formation until 2010. Drummer Will Hunt, Lowery and Kockmit's band mate in Dark New Day, joined the band in 2010 before departing in 2011, replaced by Ryan Bennett.
The band recorded their debut album entitled Moment of Impact in 2010 featuring contributions from Sevendust members Lajon Witherspoon and Morgan Rose. The album was given a limited release the same year, with a full release planned for 2011.

LA - Man Rapes 12 yr old boy in Burger King restroom
Man charged with raping 12-year-old boy in fast food restroom
Updated yesterday at 11:31 PM
Police have arrested a man on charges that he raped a 12-year-old boy inside the restroom of a fast food restaurant Friday night in Thibodaux.
According to police the victim was taken to the hospital by his parents, treated and released. He gave them a description of the suspect and police were able to identify and locate Sanchez, and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
This is so awful. That poor little boy. What makes it so scary to me is that at 12, I sent my son to the restroom alone at fast food places. I never would have thought he would be raped right there in a Burger King or McDonald's restroom.
I was just thinking the same thing BeanE!! My son is 12 and I was feeling okay with letting go into the men's room by himself since he was a bout 9. Being a single mom I can't well take him in the ladies room anymore! wow, just wow. Why didn't this kid scream?? Sigh... why ask why at this point, I guess.
From now on I'll be waiting right outside the men's room for my boy!
So sad for this lil guyIt's just MOO. I could be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time and it surely won't be the last!

This is just so scary, and so awful for that poor little boy. There he was getting a burger, and it must have been so horribly traumatizing.
So far as the child not screaming, he was probably terrified, or the man held his hand on his mouth, or threatened him, or who knows what.
I'm just sick to my stomach over this. I tweeted out the news story. Hopefully parents of little boys will see it. I feel very bad for parents of young children these days. It's so hard to protect your children, no matter how vigilant you are. It's scary as hell-o.

WTH!!??? Look at how this is worded!!!!!! Omg I am LIVID!
Terry Sanchez, 51, 521 Cherry St., was arrested Saturday night, as he matched the description given by the boy, Thibodaux Police said. Sanchez allegedly had sex with the 12-year-old at the restaurant, 206 E. First St., but had never met the boy prior to the encounter.
he was examined at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center and Children's Hospital in New Orleans before being released, authorities said.
Sanchez is charged with aggravated rape and faces mandatory life in prison is convicted.
I'll be sending a letter of complaint to the Daily Comet about that wording!
Disgusting. First of all, he didn't "have sex" with a 12 year old boy. No matter HOW you slice it, he raped the child. His parents taking him to the hospital tells me that he told someone right away.
Second, this is truly frightening. My 9 year old son goes into the public restroom by himself because I don't go into the men's and he doesn't like to go into the ladies room, so what's a mother to do? You can't trust anything.I'm just sayin...

What's up with Thibodaux? First Jori, now this? Poor little boy. I always worry about something like this too. I have even opened the door and yelled for my son when I felt he was in there for too long. You never know. Remember a few years back when that man killed a little boy in the bathroom? Can't remember where. Does anyone else know?
Im with you all on this! My 12 year old not only goes into public bathrooms alone, but he is the one who goes with my 8 year old son to make sure nothing happens to HIM. Now what? Do I have to take both my 8 year old and my 12 year old son in the ladies room with me? This is ridiculous!
RIP McStays
Also this dirt bag is lucky it wasnt my son....my husband would have found him first and took care of things right there on the spot.
RIP McStays

Police: 12-year-old boy raped at Thibodaux restaurant
Police say a 12-year-old boy was using the bathroom at Burger King Friday night when Terry Sanchez, 51, entered the stall and allegedly raped him.
Investigators say Sanchez left after the incident and the boy ran to a nearby house and then home for help.
According to the police report, the victim had blood on his shirt and shorts and detectives found more blood in the bathroom stall.
Police say doctors there found abrasions on the boy that were consistent with sexual activity.
"He tried to claim it was consensual," Silverii said.

I wrote to the reporter too. No, 12 year olds do not "have" sex nor can they consent. When will reporters and their editors learn??? Appalling.
I think this happens FAR more often than little boys share with their parents. Sadly, if the child wouldn't have been so severely injured, with obvious blood (Lord help him), I'm afraid that he might not have told due to shame and embarrassment or threats. He was a brave brave boy to run for help. Just the fact that the rapist has made the comment that the attack was consensual deeply wounds the child yet again.
One of our little boys was sexually abused in a park restroom as we sat close by. His abuser was our teen neighbor who so "helpfully" offered to show our son where the restroom was. Another son was raped by the same teen in the elementary school restroom--in the primary grade wing with teachers nearby, where the rapist was volunteering with the Kinders and first-graders. Neither told immediately.
As you can imagine, our elder kids who have children of their own are quite particular about public restroom practices. Most restrooms are set up where the urinals and/or the stalls are not visible from the door. I don't think there's a thing wrong with a parent standing in the doorway, making sure all possible attackers are aware that a child is being supervised. This issue continues to be a difficult for parents of the opposite sex. There are no easy answers. Kids do need to use the restroom. And predators can bank on that fact.
My prayers are with this little guy. How I hope he gets all the help he needs.

When you trace the path from Sanchez' house on Cherry St. to the Burger King, one mile away, there's lots of fast food restaurants, gas stations, etc. I really worry that this was not a one time occurrence.
A similiar thing happened in my town to a boy in the McDonalds in the mall when my son was young. After that I took him to the lady's room with me or I stood outside the men's door and I wasn't afraid to look in. I would talk loudly if he went in the mens room where it was obivious a parent was waiting. "Okay I'll be waiting right here at the doorway" I would let it be known, I was there.
I feel so sad for these kids that these monsters prey on. They should take them straight out to a field and finish them off right there.

Troops Held Hostage in Partisan Sequestration Posturing
Sequestration is imposing what outgoing Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta calls a "meat axe" on Pentagon spending.
It is probably a meat axe long overdue. But senior Pentagon officials, military leaders and Congressional observers are concerned that sequestration – which imposes a 10 percent cut in discretionary spending across the board and even more in some cases – forces the Pentagon to throw the proverbial baby out with the bathwater.
For example, the required cuts in maintenance and training expenditures for Army brigades strike deeply at the core mission of the Army, and grant them no more favorable treatment than the Army's dumbest line item expenditures.
Likewise, the Department of Defense blames sequestration cuts for forcing it to cancel the deployment of a carrier battle group, and will force the Army to delay scheduled combat unit rotations to Afghanistan. The burden of sequestration, as currently structured, therefore falls most severely on American servicemen and women aboard ship or in combat, who will not get relieved on schedule. These families are already facing the stresses of deployment.
With that in mind, some Republican congressmen are working on legislation that would grant the Secretary of Defense more discretionary authority to move money around within the DoD to fund core missions and defund less critical activities.
Such a measure, GOP supporters argue, would preserve the core mission and capabilities of the military while still honoring the spirit of sequestration: To slash spending and reduce the deficit.
The Obama Administration indicates that it will veto the plan.
The reason: It's politics. When White House officials first proposed sequestration as part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, and when the President signed the BCA into law, Democrats were counting on the deep cuts to defense spending to be the pain that forced Republicans to concede to tax increases, rather than entitlement reforms and spending cuts.
Any move to grant more authority to the Secretary of Defense has the effect of lessening that pain for the traditionally hawkish Republicans – and thereby weaken the Democrat bargaining position in Congress. If the Pentagon has discretion over how it executes the sequestration cuts, Republicans have that much less incentive to strike a deal favorable to Democrats – and Democrats have that much less to leverage against Republicans.
The President, therefore, is in the curious position of opposing the very measure that will enable his new Secretary of Defense to do his job – and opposing the measures that will make it possible for his troops in harms way to be relieved on schedule.
In essence, he is holding American troops in the Persian Gulf and Afghanistan hostage to defend the interests of public worker unions.
Republicans are also practicing their version of gamesmanship: They know that absent substantial buy-in from congressional Democrats – who control the Senate – the measure is doomed to failure if the President vetoes it. But the bill's supporters are planning to go forward with it anyway, to force the President and Congressional Democrats on record as opposing the relief of servicemembers in combat zones, who face longer deployments if sequestration cuts prevent the train-up of replacement brigades.
However, the GOP is not unanimous in its support of granting the executive branch additional authority. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), believes that Congress would be ceding too much of its constitutional Power of the Purse to the executive branch if a bill such as this passes.
The upshot: Congress is not willing to make the tough spending decisions. It therefore wants the Obama Administration to make them. The Obama Administration, in turn, doesn't want to be seen making those tough decisions either.
And our troops in Afghanistan, fighting a war, and our sailors in the Persian Gulf, facing down the Iranians, are caught in the middle.

Maokai Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Alright guys and gals. This here is my Maokai build, I made it so he does a ton of damage and not only damage he is still able to tank for you team like crazy!
For the runes I chose Magic Pen Marks, Armor/level Seals, Ability Power/level Glyphs, and last but surely not least Potency Quints 'cause who doesn't like the extra Ability Power.
Masteries I chose 9/21/0 Sure you may level slower but in turn you should get more damage and armor over everyone else especially with Ardor.
For the items I like to start out with Doran's Ring. After I get about 1000 gold I go back and buy a Philosopher's stone to help out with the money generation if you aren't getting much creep kills. Than when I usually stay out there until I need to go back and when I do I buy tier 1 boots and another Philosopher's stone and if I have the extra money I buy another Doran's Ring. By this time I'm usually around level 10 or so and your generating 10 gold in 10 seconds and on top of that you can easily get minions kills with your Sapling Toss so you should have no problem getting the money for the other items. I start off with buying the Rod of Ages since that takes longer to build up the bonuses. After Rod of Ages I normally get Abyssal Scepter but I suppose whatever you need more of (MR or Armor) get Zhonya's Hourglass first. the rest of the items don't really matter what order you get them in but getting the defensive ones first might be more helpful for you team if you are the tank.
Your 6th item can be of your choice as well depending if you need Magic Resist or Armor or if you don't need either you can get some more damage. I like to go with Frozen heart most of the time since it has an aura plus gives mana since you wont have the Philo stones anymore.
My Normal end game build
Murcery's Treads
Zhoonya's Hourglass
Abyssal Scepter
Rod of Ages
Rabadon's Deathcap
Frozen Heart
Skill Sequence
I like to max out the Sapling Toss first as it does the most damage when it hits and explodes on the same person, Next I like to max out the hold with the last skill maxed out is the one that slows getting of course the points in his ult when available.
Summoner Spells
Exhaust - A good replacement spell for Ignite if you have to many Ignites on your team.
Ignite - The other spell I use the most on many to all characters.
Ghost - One of the better spells to use lets you catch up to get that hold on someone to let your team catch up and finish them.
Fortify - Another spell that could be used since you are a tank but you don't need the extra damage on minions so I don't recommend it.
Teleport - Could be used to get to lane faster to hop to another lane quick to get the kill on someone or to hold a lane for someone else.
Clarity - I don't feel like a tank should go near this ability but having the mana when you need it can be helpful.
Heal - Sure your tank you honestly shouldn't be dieing but to me this spell is only helpful early game.
Rally - Extra damage isn't needed on a tank as you shouldn't be getting kills even though its quite easy with some.
Revive - Well reviving faster is nice but I don't recommend this spell since most players will think you are bad if you have it.
Smite - This one should be fairly obvious why you don't need it, simply because its for jungling mostly but hey if you want the extra creep kill every 60 or 75 seconds go for it.

Full disclosure
I'll start by giving Tim full credit for solving my computer problems, last weekend. (thanks again) I didn't add any pictures to my last post because I liked the idea of everyone seeing their own images. You have clutter - you certainly don't need to see mine....
So I'm back in business, at my desk. Last week we had two fairly substantial asignments due in English. The deadline is always 11:59pm. One was submitted around 3:00. For the other I hit the submit button at 11:51pm. It was a propsal and I'm honestly expecting a train wreck on that one so I have been re-phrasing, fine-tuning, trying to set a firmer, more concise direction for it ever since. I'm reluctant to log on and see what he has to say....This week's assignments are time consuming but don't carry the weight of last weeks. Needless-to-say ( which is why I'm saying it, eh?) I'll be spending a lot of time at my desk. Again.
This week I'm also working two, full 8-hour days, filling in for a vacationing co-worker. I know I'll come home tired at the end of the day, tempted to claim the privilege of vegging, but I will need to be a responsible adult and put in some time with homework. Being a grownup has its drawbacks....
We've had heat. We've had mosquitos. We've had weeds. Lovely, healthy abundant weeds. And basil, rosemary and cilantro.

There is a part of me that is glad your program is so academically rigorouse which is usually one of the criticisms of on-line classes. On the other hand, you do sound a little stressed by all the work. Keep breathing.

Log boilers
Typically these relate to wood stove models with back boilers. They are ideal as a link in system to more traditional Gas and Oil boilers, and can reduce the reliance on fossil fuels and give you a secondary source of heating.
With logs being readily available and generally un-processed, you have guaranteed heat when you want at little to no fuel costs (depending on source of wood). Like other domestic biomass boilers, you will often have to replace the water cylinder to a more modern Thermal Store to allow integration and a battery storage style solution – burn now – use later.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has told a Federal High Court in Abuja that President Goodluck Jonathan has an inalienable right to contest the 2015 presidential election, saying that the party cannot afford to stay aloof when his eligibility to contest is being challenged.
The PDP stated this yesterday in its joinder application in a suit by a Port Harcourt-based lawyer and PDP card carrying member, Henry Amadi. The plaintiff is asking the court to stop Jonathan from participating as a candidate for the 2015 presidential election after his current tenure of office. In the suit before Justice Adamu Bello Amadi, the plaintiff, who named Jonathan and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as co-defendants to the suit, also wants the court to hold that Jonathan is ineligible to contest the 2015 poll on the grounds that he would be spending more than the maximum period of two terms of four years as envisaged by the 1999 Constitution (as amended).
But the PDP, in its joinder application, wants the court to join it as a necessary party on the grounds that the outcome of the suit will affect the party. The joinder application, which was filed by the PDP national legal adviser, Mr Victor Kwon, also wants the court to make consequential order directing the plaintiff to amend his originating processes to reflect the PDP as a defendant and cause same to be served on the party. In a four-paragraph affidavit in support of the application and a written address, Kwon argued that, from the reliefs sought by the plaintiff, the PDP's right to sponsor Jonathan for 2015 presidential elections was being challenged. "This action," the party said, "cannot effectually and completely be determined without joining the applicant herein. By the very tenor of the reliefs sought by the plaintiff, this suit questions the right of the applicant to sponsor one of its members (Jonathan) for the 2015 presidential elections.
The applicant herein seeks to protect its interest in the present action by this application. "Having been sponsored by the applicant (PDP) for the 2011 election - and Jonathan being a member of the PDP who is capable of been sponsored for the 2015 presidential election, the PDP will directly be affected by the outcome of the decision of this court one way or the other." The court has fixed February 26 for the hearing of PDP's application, following the argument of the plaintiff's lawyer, Mr. C.N. Eke, opposing the application for joinder. Eke also told the court that he would like to file his preliminary objection against the PDP's application for joinder before the next adjourned date.

I see that in previous years almost 18,000 people viewed the thread 'black cartridge will not print'.
There was zero useful input from the community - perhaps because the community does not know what might cause this problem.
Well, now I unfortunately am joining the community of owners who have this problem with the 4500. My printer stopped printing black. Sounds fine, cleaned as suggested, full cartridge.....
If anyone has a suggestion I'd be most appreciative.
I find it fascinating that HP hosts this forum but is no help what-so-ever.
If I can not find help please be assurred that solely because of the absence of support there will be no new HP debvices in my home or the business I own.

Welcome to the HP Forums racerman15,
I see by your post that you aren't able to print with the black cartridge.
I will do my best to help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if it will help resolve this issue.
'Incorrect Print Cartridge' or 'Print Cartridge Problem' Message Displays on the Computer.
When doing the manual cleaning, clean the contacts on the cartridges and inside the printer to make sure it isn't clogged up.
Here is another document for performing self Diagnostics test, cleaning and aligning the printer.
Fixing Ink Streaks, Faded Prints, and Other Common Print Quality Problems.
Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
Check the date on the cartridges to make sure they are still in warranty. (not old stock)
What are the ink levels?
What were the results for the hardware Diagnostics Report?
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
I work on behalf of HP

Overclocking Help

I don't see what cpu cooler you are using but my first suggestion is to make sure you have a very good after market, well seated with a quality thermal compound installed. Then from their visit Overclocking specialty forums and do a lot of reading and research. Find out what others are doing using the closest possible hardware to yours. Use your bios to make the needed changes, get to know your bios very well. Stay away from program related overclocking. Take small steps. Get familiar with Prime 95,cpu-z and temp monitoring programs. Heat is your enemy so make sure you have good airflow.Overclocking is a learning process, trial and error, takes patients and as much knowledge as you can get your hands on. Make small increases stress test those changes with Prime 95 this will have to run for hours at a time. Watch your temps. With enough research you can find a place to get started. But remember not every chip will overclock the same or to the same level. Cooling and small increases, and research are the things I would suggest. Also Google overclocking the i7 920. Hope this will help you get started. Fabe

Nothing is locked by Dell, all bios an options are there to do over clocking, they even have a few videos on Youtube from Dell Engineers/Support Team showing how to do it correctly, probably going to have to follow some of them. I see all the features needed to do the overclocking, just not sure how to do it safely/securely, since this is my first time.

December 4, 2007
After discussions today between House Energy and Commerce Chairman John Dingell (D–Mich.) and Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D–Calif.), the major components are beginning to fall into place. Both House lawmakers are now working toward a plan that would raise fuel-economy standards to 35 miles a gallon by 2020, the level initially approved by the Senate last summer.
The emerging deal will ensure automakers have some added flexibility to meet the higher target, and will specifically provide for separate treatment for cars and light trucks, so long as the overall fleet average reaches 35 mpg. The lawmakers are moving toward a plan to extend the so-called flex-fuel credit, which encourages companies to make cars that burn ethanol and clean-burning biofuels. The credit ensures that autos capable of burning a high amount of biofuel count for more than regular vehicles, when auto makers calculate compliance with the fuel-economy standards.
Under the emerging legislation, the credit would be made somewhat more generous than current law and would extend it through 2014. The credit is currently set to expire at the end of 2008. After 2014, the credit would begin to phase out and would be eliminated entirely by 2020, under the legislation being negotiated by Dingell and Pelosi.
The final wrangling is over what role the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation will have in regulating the new fuel-economy standards, according to http://online.WSJ.com. Dingell was pushing for language that would prevent EPA from regulating tailpipe emissions in a way that could, in effect, regulate fuel-economy — a power that rests with the Transportation Department. The EPA is devising rules to regulate tailpipe emissions following a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that the agency could regulate carbon dioxide under the federal Clean Air Act.
The proposed increase in fuel economy standards would be about 40 percent higher than current levels.
