The Bottom Line
- Includes both CDs and a DVD.
- Great audio quality.
- Diverse song selection from throughout the band's career.
- None.
- Released August 5, 2008 on Nuclear Blast Records.
- Recorded in Warsaw, Poland on February 14, 2008.
- This is Therion's second live CD (2002's Live In Midgard was the other.)
Guide Review - Therion - Live Gothic
Live Gothic is a double CD and 1 DVD set. There are 22 songs spread over the two discs, and the DVD is the visual version of that same 2007 concert in Warsaw, Poland. The setlist focuses primarily on 2007's Gothic Kabbalah, but they cover a lot of other material as well. There are songs going back to 1996's Theli. Tracks from 1998's Vovin, 1999's Crowning Of Atlantis, 2000's Deggial, 2001's Secret Of The Runes, 2004's Sirius B and 2004's Lemuria are also featured.
The band sounds great, with thick riffs and the orchestral majesty Therion is known for. The vocalists for the concert were Lori Lewis (Aesma Daeva), Katarina Lilja (Sobre Nocturne), Mats Leven (who has since left the band) and Snowy Shaw (King Diamond, Mercyful Fate).
Live CDs are designed to appeal to fans of a band, and Live Gothic satisfies with great audio and video quality, a diverse song selection, and of course a great performance by Therion.

A raffle was held during the open evening for a quilt made by the club's acting president Margaret Spruce. This raised £155 for the Peace Hospice in addition to the £1,000 over the course of the previous the year.

Torrey Pines SNR
State Natural Reserve
State Natural Reserves have outstanding or unusual natural or scenic values. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is a wilderness island in an urban sea. This fragile environment is the home of our nation's rarest pine tree - Pinus torreyana. Once this tree covered a larger area. It now grows only here and on Santa Rosa Island off the coast near Santa Barbara. The park preserves not only the trees, but also one of the last salt marshes and waterfowl refuges in Southern California. The reserve features high broken cliffs and deep ravines on headlands overlooking the ocean. Hikers can follow trails through stands of wind-sculpted pines. A picturesque, pueblo-style structure that served as a restaurant when it was built in 1923 houses the visitor center, featuring interpretive displays. Picnicking and camping are prohibited in the reserve. The reserve's rich plant community features wildflowers in the spring and visitors can see the California quail gathered in coveys in the early mornings of fall and winter.
Torrey Pines State Beach can also be reached by trail from the Reserve.
Annual Passes are sold at the Lodge and Museum daily from 11AM-1PM. Annual Passes are no longer sold at the entrance station operated by our concessionaire, LAZ Parking.
Torrey Pines prohibits dogs anywhere within the reserve and beach boundaries (even within a vehicle).
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is located between La Jolla and Del Mar, California, north of San Diego. From Hwy 5, exit on Carmel Valley Road and drive west for about 1.5 miles till you reach the Coast Highway 101. Turn left and proceed along the beach for about a mile. The park entrance is on your right just before the highway begins to climb the Torrey Pines grade.

Date: February 27, 2007
WATERVILLE, Maine - Colby College Nordic ski coach Tracey Cote has been honored as the Eastern Intercollegiate Ski Association (EISA) Co-Coach of the Year after helping the Mules to one of their best seasons in many years.
Cote has helped the men's Nordic team to eight finishes in the top five during races this year. The Mules had one second-place finish and one third. The third place came at last weekend's Eastern Championships at Middlebury College. The women's team does not have the depth of the men's squad, but the women had better finishes than in past years.
"This has been an incredible season for Colby Nordic and I feel very fortunate to have been able to coach this group of athletes," said Cote, who is in her ninth year of coaching skiing at Colby. "This team has worked very hard and made a lot of sacrifices to be so focused on their training and racing. I give them a ton of credit and thank them for making me look good."
Cote and men's Nordic skiers Nick Kline (Cape Elizabeth, Maine) and Fred Bailey (Andover, Maine) will be heading to the NCAA Skiing Championships, hosted by the University of New Hampshire at the Jackson Cross Country Center, from March 7 to 11.
Cote, who skied at Northern Michigan University, also is a Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) at Colby. She shared the EISA award with Saint Lawrence University's Ethan Townsend.

Then the power went out and a tree from across the street fell on the power lines behind our house. When the power came on it set fire to the tree. Nice. Everyone's OK. We've turned in a claim and we're looking at rental cars. -- More from Les Jones.

The homosexual community doesn't just want their rights, they want everyone to accept and approve of their lifestyle. It seems atheists have taken the same tactic with the pledge of allegiance, among other things, demanding it be removed from public schools. Even though they are not required to say the pledge, they believe it is an infringement of their rights and want it completely removed. The pledge of Allegiance has been our national pledge, uniting Americans for many years, but atheists seem more interested in in getting their way. They, much like homosexuals, appear to demand tolerance from everyone for their lifestyle without being willing to give much.
Andrew Beckwith of the Massachusetts Family Institute said this about the situation: "The Pledge of Allegiance shouldn't be banned merely because someone who is not even required to recite it feels offended…The pledge unites Americans. The court should uphold the lower court's ruling and refuse to divide Americans by silencing a voluntary exercise of patriotism just because a few people don't like it."

The Cold War (1948 - 1989)
Although the United States and its Western allies had counted on the Soviet Union as a heroic nation struggling with them against Hitler, it was apparent even before WWII ended that the alliance between West and East would not survive the ideological gulf that separated the capitalist democracies from the communist giant. In 1945, the Big ThreeBritish Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Soviet Premier Josef Stalin, and American President Franklin D. Rooseveltmet to discuss the postwar division of Europe. The meeting did not go well, but it did result in laying the foundation of what became the United Nations (UN).
In 1946, the fledgling UN took up the issue of controlling nuclear weapons. By June 1946, the commission completed a plan for the elimination of nuclear weaponry based on inspectors who would travel the globe to ensure no country was making atomic bombs and to supervise the dismantling of existing weapons. Unfortunately, the plan was vetoed by the Soviet Union, resulting in almost five decades of cold war, in which the atomic superpowers played a potentially lethal game of chess, using the face of the world as their gameboard.
The Berlin Airlift (1948 - 1949)
In June 1948, the Soviet Union exploited the arrangements under which the United States, Great Britain, and France had occupied Germany by closing off all surface access to the city of Berlin. If left unchallenged, the provocative actions of the communists may not only have won them an important psychological victory, but may also have given them permanent control over all of Berlin. Worried that an attempt to force the blockade on the ground may precipitate World War III, the allies instead built a Luftbrückean air bridgeinto Berlin.
For their part, the Soviets did not believe resupply of the city by air was even feasible, let alone practical. The Air Force turned to Major General William Tunner, who had led the Hump airlift over the Himalayan mountains to supply China during WWII. As the Nations leading military air cargo expert, he thoroughly analyzed US airlift capabilities and requirements and set in motion an airlift operation that would save a city. For 15 months, the 2.2 million inhabitants of the Western sectors of Berlin were sustained by air power alone as the operation flew in 2.33 million tons of supplies on 277,569 flights. Airlift had previously come of age during WWII, but it is questionable whether its potential had been fully realized by commanders who predominantly defined strategic in terms of bombs on targets. The Berlin airlift was arguably air powers single most decisive contribution to the cold war, and it unquestionably achieved a profound strategic effect.
Enlisted personnel served as cargo managers and loaders (with a major assist from German civilians), air traffic controllers, communications specialists, and weather and navigation specialists. Of all the enlisted functions, perhaps the most critical to the success of the airlift was maintenance. The Soviets eventual capitulation and dismantling of the surface blockade represented one of the great Western victories of the cold warwithout a bomb having been droppedand laid the foundation for the NATO.
The Korean War (1950 - 1953)
Before dawn on Sunday, 25 June 1950, communist North Korea attacked South Korea. Some 5 years earlier, when Japan surrendered, the United States proposed that American forces disarm Japanese forces in Korea south of the 38th parallel and Soviet troops perform the same task north of that line. Once the Japanese were disarmed and removed, Korea was to become independent after almost 50 years of rule by Japan. The goal, however, depended on continued cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States. Instead of a unified Korea (as was envisioned), two rival states came to share the Korean peninsula.
The Soviet Union supported the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea under the leadership of Kim Il Sung. The United States stood behind the Republic of Korea, headed by Syngman Rhee. When the newly constituted national assembly elected Rhee president of South Korea in August 1948, the United States terminated the military government and began withdrawing occupation forces. As the decade of the 1940s drew to a close, Korea seemed less important than other areas in the world. In the aftermath of the Berlin blockade, the Truman Administration concentrated on Europe, even though basic national policy called for opposing the spread of communism anywhere in the world.

Dr Mercolas Total Health Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Dr. Mercola's Total Health was written by Dr. Joseph Mercola. The doctor is a bestselling author of several books including The No-Grain Diet, Take Control of Your Health and Dr. Mercola's Total Health. According to the Dr. Mercola's Total Health, dieters simply need to make changes in the foods they eat in order to lose weight. It is noted by Dr. Mercola that if people who reduce the amount of grains and sugar they consume, they would be making the best choice for their bodies.
Dr. Mercola's Total Health book is offered through various online book retailers for prices as low as $13.50. On the official Dr. Mercola website, the book is not offered in paper form, but rather as an eBook for $19.95. The website provides dieters a huge selection of health related products, many of which are not aimed at weight loss. The website is cluttered and filled with UV Tanning Supplies and various other electronic devices.
The Total Health diet program.
Product Features
After searching through the Dr. Mercola website, a small amount of information on the Dr. Mercola's Total Health can be found. The weight loss program is a low carb alternative. According to the information, the book contains information guaranteed for life to help the reader live healthier and lose weight. If the user is not satisfied with the eBook they can get their money back for one full year, minus shipping and handling.
Reviews of the Dr. Mercola's Total Health book claim the information in the book is 5% weight loss help and 95% cookbook. The remaining health and weight loss information can be found in The No-Grain Diet, also by Dr. Mercola. Other reviewers also noted the Metabolic Test in the book was inconclusive for some and they too were invited to buy another book or purchase a Metabolic Test from Mercola.com for $179.
- Follows a low carb plan which is known to cause weight loss.
- Supports healthy diet choices.
- Contact information listed on Mercola.com.
- The book is just another version of the low carb diet.
- There are no testimonials.
- Readers felt the book was just a ploy to force additional purchases.
- The Mercola.com website is cluttered with products and no information.
The low carb diet works. Science has proven that diet will help the body to lose weight and is healthy in the long term. Dr. Mercola's Total Health book is a version of the low carb diet which should make this book an easy sell; however, users are unhappy with the fact that the book tends to invite future purchases to get all of the information Dr. Mercola has to offer. With no testimonials and no scientific support that this plan is better than any other low carb plan, we cannot support this book.

When Nancy Vannorsdel took over as Idaho Aquarium interim director in October, she wanted to find out what it was doing right and what it could do better. She talked extensively with the staff and her friends in the community. She spent three Sundays in the parking lot interviewing patrons coming out of the aquarium.
Then she took what she learned and came back with a plan.
"We are changing our name, we are changing our look and we are shifting our focus to education, which is where it should have been," Vannorsdel said.
Key to the new education emphasis is the Exploratorium, a large multimedia room to be used for classes, lectures, traveling exhibits and other educational offerings. It also will include a viewing area where visitors can get a behind-the-scenes look at the biologists and staff at work in the aquarium's lab. Even the gift shop will have a nonprofit, educational orientation
Vannorsdel has been successful in many areas except when it comes to retirement. She has failed at it. Twice.
When she retired from banking in 1997, she was one of the highest-ranking female bank executives in the Northwest. That retirement lasted fewer than six months; she took up the helm of the Boise Metro Chamber of Commerce and served as its CEO for 12 years.
She retired from the chamber in 2009, but has now embarked on rebuilding the Idaho Aquarium after a two-year run that ended with its founders going to federal prison, authorities seizing improperly permitted animals and a slew of management problems.
She jokes that she signed on for a four-month stint, figuring it would be a fairly simple job: Establish some rules, polish the tarnished areas, tidy up the books. After all, she helped run one of the region's largest banks and led one of the state's largest nonprofits. "How hard could it be?" she asked.
Then she started peeling back the layers. "Every single day, something would happen, something new would come up," she said.
She reviewed the books and said she was shocked at what she found. Financial records were missing or incomplete. The records that did exist indicated money coming in had not always been spent on the nonprofit facility.
The Idaho Attorney General's Office had an investigation underway, and Vannorsdel said she supported it "in every way."
Realizing she needed help with day-to-day operations, she cajoled longtime friend Joni Sullivan into serving as interim chief operations officer. Sullivan has owned her own business, served on several nonprofit boards and founded America to Africa HELP, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged children in Africa.
Vannorsdel said if she ever sees a consulting fee for her aquarium work, she will split it with Sullivan.
When they looked at the challenge, Vannorsdel and Sullivan asked themselves: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time," Vannorsdel said. "And let me tell you, we have pretty much eaten the entire elephant."
Vannorsdel handpicked four new board members with no prior connections to the aquarium or its founders, and she plans to announce several more.
She also went to work resolving several investigations into the aquarium. Earlier this year, employee and whistleblower complaints sparked inquiries by Idaho Humane Society, Idaho Department of Fish and Game, U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and U.S. Department of Labor.
Vannorsdel said those have been resolved.
"We do everything by the book now," said Vannorsdel.
She drew up new protocols to ensure the aquarium abides by state and federal rules. The first test proved successful: While purchasing a new octopus, the aquarium discovered the dealer's permit had lapsed. The aquarium refused to go forward until the dealer permit was renewed.
Idaho Humane Society Director Jeff Rosenthal said he is pleased with the aquarium's new leadership, including new board members without ties to the aquarium. "I see that as a very positive sign," he said. "Hopefully any problems can be cleared up."
Tanks and exhibits are being redone to improve animal health and visitor experience. Larger tanks are being built for the rays, the sea turtle and the octopus.
Vannorsdel said she thinks one of the reasons the aquarium's octopi kept dying was because the tank was too small and the intelligent animal needs "enrichment."
"They need to have more than food and water to thrive," she said.
Vannorsdel selected an artist-in-residence, Angela Drake, to paint murals and redo the interior's palette.
In three or four months, a major part of the remodeling should be done and the Exploratorium complete. But that means Vannorsdel's four-month term likely will be extended.
"I have some things I want to be up and running before I go. I want it to be financially stable. I want the Exploratorium to be going gangbusters," she said. "But in order to do that we need one thing. We need the people to come back."
Once the aquarium is on better footing, it will conduct a national search for a director and Vannorsdel can try one more time to do that thing she cannot seem to get right: "When I get out of this I am not going to flunk retirement again," she said.
Biologist Sheree Dessel, 24, has worked at the aquarium for almost two years. She said there were dark days when she dreaded coming to work. She persevered because she couldn't leave the animals. Her face lights up when she talks about Vannorsdel and Sullivan and how the cloud lifted when founders Ammon Covino and Chris Conk were removed and, ultimately, sent to federal prison.
The quality of animal care has improved with the new management, she said. "Now the biologists have a say," Dessel said. "The animals are doing much better. They are happier."
The aquarium's problems and media coverage of Conk and Covino's arrests was excruciating, because it drove visitors away and left the few dedicated staff members reeling, she said. But it needed to happen.
"Otherwise these changes would have never taken place," she said. "It did hurt us, but a fire has to come through to start new growth. We've got a huge disaster that happened to us, but we are starting fresh, and we are starting to see new growth.
"I would love for people to come back and see the changes we've made," Dessel said. "Give us a second chance. I want people to come in see what we have done, to see what Nancy and Joni have done. Our hearts are truly in it."

You met your wife at a Halloween party in college. What costumes were you wearing?
She was just freaky. She was a pretty nutty girl in college. That's the first time she saw me. I never dress up for Halloween, but this night I shaved my head, painted it yellow, put on a lot of eye makeup and wore a leather jacket and blue jeans. My whole torso was painted white. I definitely looked very sick. My wife saw me then and told me she thought I was gay. She thought I was cute.
So it was love at first sight.
Not for her, but for me.
What's it like watching your twin girls grow up?
They're hysterical to watch — how much fun they're having, how they're turning into people and how much they love sugar and avocados. I worry that I'm screwing up all the time. But as long as I love them, it'll be OK. My kids are what gives me the urgency to say what I think about the world.
In 1996 you opened a string of European dates for Bob Dylan and ended up performing with him. What did you learn from him?
He was really gracious. I'd heard so many horror stories about him, and I'm sure some of them are true, but like great men before, I don't think there's any reason he should be preoccupied with treating people swell. He couldn't have been nicer. We played "Rainy Day Women" and "Maggie's Farm," and it was just an amazing experience. I grew up on him. I have this great photograph of us onstage, but I can't put it up in my house because I'm wearing the worst pants that any man has ever worn in the history of all time.
Plaid pants? I've seen some pictures....
Yeah, I went through an awful stage with plaid. It was my intention to be counterfashion, but I became obsessed by it. I saw a lawyer of mine walking down the hallway in plaid pants, then I said to myself, "Aw, what am I doing? I hate myself."
Death is often a major focal point of your songwriting, partly because so many people close to you — your father, your sister, childhood friends — have had untimely deaths.
I find it much more surprising that death is not part of the conversation at all. I guess as a culture we've grown to admire youth and the naive wonder of youth as somehow better than the wrinkles and wisdom that come with age, and that somehow there's a fault in accepting mortality. That is fucking stupid. Not to say that death isn't shocking, but if there wasn't death, life would be fucking useless. We'd be bored to tears. Mortality makes it so much more spectacular. That's the thing we should talk about more than the delusions of grandeur that come along in the afterlife. What an utter waste of time. But I guess it's more comforting if you think there's this Santa Claus in the sky who's waiting to make us happy, or if we haven't been good, he's not going to give us any presents. God has no plan. It's simpler to think that we'll go to heaven or hell when we die. To me, that seems like a way to avoid living.
At what point in your life did you formulate your ideas about death?
If anything, I think of the times I contemplated suicide.
When was that?
It comes and goes. I don't know that it will ever end. When things inside your head get kind of crazy, and you go, "OK, let's go through the list of options." And suicide was one of them. I've never indulged in it where I was sitting, snot pouring out of my nose, tears pouring down my face, saying, "This is it. Fuck it. I'm gone."
What's the closest you ever came?
Just thinking about ways, which I don't think is uncommon. But I've had a few doctors tell me that it's not necessarily that common.
Did you come up with a method?
The idea of throwing yourself off a bridge, but I'm afraid of heights. I thought about a gunshot, but it's so violent and messy. Gassing oneself is kind of peaceful.
When was this?
In my late teens, early twenties. What turned me away was something a friend of mine said, someone I used to wait tables with. Her name was Carter, and she was a wonderful girl. She told me that my death was done the minute I was born. It's the only guarantee, the only thing that you know is gonna happen. What's the point in hastening it? Why not stick around, if for nothing else than for curiosity?
Have you cut back your drinking?
Yeah, and it gives me a little more time. I like to drink, a lot — I think it's a healthy thing to do. But I've got a family; and I've got other things that impress me more than another drink. My kids, for instance. I go in phases. Some points in my life I'll drink a lot, and other points in my life I won't. I may pause, but I don't think I'll ever stop, because forever is a long time.
What kind of drunk are you?
I'm a very happy drunk, generally. Joyful. Loud and probably irritating. Apparently I repeat myself quite a lot.
Who do you usually drink with?
My wife. But I got a couple of friends I like drinking with. My friend Jonathan and I have been drinking together since we were twelve — lemonade, of course. You have those faithful friends who you can make a good bit of progress with on a bottle of alcohol that otherwise might be more of a challenge. There are people who I'd like to settle into a drink with. Not for the sole reason of getting drunk, but for the ritual of lubricating someone's personality. David Sedaris is one of those individuals. When I read his stuff, I'd like to sit down and have a drink with him. I'd drink with George W., but just to get him out of the White House.
Do you ever feel like an outsider in America?
A lot of people feel like outsiders, and we're viewed as outsiders by the government. Or as un-American. But I'm way more American than George Bush and Dick Cheney. They have no fucking idea what it is to be American. They're fucking idiots, programmed to have everything in the hands of the few. They think it's right that them and theirs have everything and everyone else can just get by on good, hard work. There's something charming about a simple man in the White House. But that's what is deceiving: He's not a simple man. He represents the tiniest, tiniest percentage. He got here on the shoulders of giants. And I think much of the Christian world feels an obligation to support him, because he claims to be a Christian. I don't see much of a Christian in him. I think there should be a long line of nuns ready to spank the crap out of him.
Do you think you're more capable of running this country than George W.?
Yeah. I'd deal with things a little more delicately. I think I have a much clearer view of the world than he does.
How so?
I understand people a lot better than he does. And I don't want the job — but there's no shortage of people who could run the country better than him. The most important task facing America right now is to get this administration out of power. I think they're a very dangerous bunch, riddled with dangerous minds. There's a very ignorant view in the White House: a thoughtless, fundamentalist, scary view of how to better the world. I'm truly frightened of this administration.
Do you plan to be more politically out-spoken in 2004?
My focus is to take them out. Hearing myself say that is sort of depressing. I don't know yet who I want to endorse, but I want minds like [Dennis] Kucinich. I want variety. But we're sort of in this avalanche, and we have to stop falling before we can fix it. The Bush administration has squandered everything, and they don't have a fucking clue.
You were raised a Quaker. What tenets of Quakerism have you held onto?
I think that we're all equally good and, for that reason, equally bad and have the potential for both. Kindness and love and all those things, without exception, are the most important. And I don't care how weak it sounds. If peace doesn't wear a leather coat, if it doesn't have studs or a nice haircut, if it's uncool, I don't care. Fuck it.

In order to get Windows working on your Mac, you need the latest version of the Apple Windows support software. Boot Camp Assistant allows you to download the Window drivers for your Mac's hardware to ensure that everything will work at its best.
Launch Boot Camp Assistant
- Launch Boot Camp Assistant, located at /Applications/Utilities.
- Boot Camp Assistant will open and display its introduction screen. Be sure to read through the introductory text, and pay heed to the advice to have your portable Mac connected to an AC cord. Don't rely on batteries during this process.
- Click the Continue button.
Download the Windows Support Software (Drivers)
The Select Tasks step will display. It includes three options:
- Create a Windows 7 Install disk
- Download the latest Windows support software from Apple
- Install or remove Windows 7
- Put a check mark next to "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple."
- Remove the check marks from the remaining two items.
- Click Continue.
Save Windows Support Software
You have the choice to save the Windows support software to either a CD/DVD or an external drive. I'm going to show you both options, starting with saving to an external drive.
I'm actually going to use a USB flash drive as the external drive in this example. If you don't have a USB flash drive, you may want to use the CD/DVD method instead.
Saving to an external drive
- Start by preparing your USB flash drive. It will need to be formatted in the MS-DOS (FAT) format. Formatting the USB flash drive will erase any data already on the device, so make sure the data is backed up somewhere else if you want to keep it. You can find instructions for using Disk Utility to format a USB flash drive on page 4 of "Disk Utility: Format a Hard Drive" guide. Please note that in Step 4 of the formatting guide, it is suggested that you use "Mac OS X Extended" as the volume format; for the purpose of this Boot Camp Assistant guide, be sure to choose MS-DOS (FAT) instead.
- Once you format the USB drive, you can continue.
- In the Boot Camp Assistant window, select "Save a copy to an external drive."
- Click Continue.
- Boot Camp Assistant will ask where you want to save the WindowsSupport folder. Select the USB flash drive you formatted as an MS-DOS volume, and click Save.
- Boot Camp Assistant will start the process of downloading the latest versions of the Windows drivers from the Apple support web site. Once downloaded, the drivers will be saved in the WindowsSupport folder on the selected USB flash drive.
- Boot Camp Assistant may ask you for your administrator password in order to add a helper file during the writing of the data to the destination location. Provide your password and click the Add Helper button.
- Once the Windows support software has been saved, Boot Camp Assistant will display a Quit button. Click Quit.
The Windows Support folder, which includes the Windows drivers and a setup application, is now stored on the USB flash drive. You will use this flash drive during the Windows install process. You can keep the USB flash drive plugged in if you will be installing Windows soon, or eject the drive for later use.
Saving to a CD or DVD
You can also choose to save the Windows support software to a blank CD or DVD. Boot Camp Assistant will burn the information to the blank media for you.
- Select "Burn a copy to CD or DVD."
- Click Continue.
- Boot Camp Assistant will start the process of downloading the latest versions of the Windows drivers from the Apple support web site. Once the download is complete, Boot Camp Assistant will ask you to insert blank media into your Superdrive.
- Insert the blank media into your optical drive, and then click Burn.
- Once the burn is complete, the CD or DVD will be ejected. You will need this CD/DVD to complete the installation of Windows 7 onto your Mac, so be sure to label the media and keep it in a safe place.
- Boot Camp may ask for your administrator password in order to add a new helper tool. Provide your password and click Add Helper.
- The process of downloading and saving the Windows support software is complete. Click the Quit button.

James will join a cast that includes the previously announced Emmy and Golden Globe winner Laura Linney ("John Adams," Sight Unseen at MTC) and Golden Globe nominee Alicia Silverstone (The Graduate on Broadway, "Clueless").

Maximum Burn Xtreme Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Maximum Burn Xtreme is a weight loss supplement claiming to be formulated for men only. There are no ingredients listed on the official website, which makes it hard for dieters to decide whether Maximum Burn Xtreme will work to increase weight loss. There is also no information about why women should not take the supplement.
List of Ingredients
Garcinia Cambogia, Chromium Polynicotinate, Gymnema Sylvestre.
Product Features
The Maximum Burn Xtreme website is filled with claims of extreme fat burn, but there is little information to back up these claims. The supplement is supposed to be so powerful that women cannot take it, but there is no ingredient list to prove why this claim is made. One outside website listed garcinia cambogia, chromium Polynicotinate and gymnema sylvestre as three ingredients. If these are the three main ingredients in the supplement, there is no reason why women cannot take the product.
Garcinia cambogia is the most alarming ingredient on the list we could find. This ingredient, also known as Hydroxycitric Acid, was used in Hydroxycut supplements. There was a link between Hydroxycut and liver damage and all supplements with this ingredient were pulled from retail shelves. Without a doubt, we suggest dieters think twice before trying any supplement with garcinia cambogia, especially if the amount and other ingredients are not listed.
What we did find interesting was the claim of a free trial offer at no cost to the dieter. This free trial equates to a charge of just less than $90 on the credit card if the product is not returned according to the rules listed in the terms and service agreement. This amount will be charged every month until the dieter contacts the company and cancels the service.
- There is an official website.
- No list of ingredients on the website.
- No support for claims such as testimonials or before and after photos.
- Product claims to be for men only.
- The supplement sells for almost $90 a bottle plus handling charges.
- Buyers are placed on a recurring plan that they may soon forget.
The Maximum Burn Xtreme website makes huge claims, but none of those claims are worth a penny without an ingredient list and testimonials. There are supplement companies willing to make the entire weight loss supplement label available to consumers and then there are those that claim huge weight loss and fat burning potential without offering a speck of proof. Maximum Burn Xtreme is the latter.
Dieters should trust in websites with customer feedback and testimonial support along with a list of ingredients. Consumers can use that ingredient list to research each and look for potential interactions or health risks, such as those associated with garcinia cambogia.

The masterpiece that started out as a Fake Guitar song is finally complete, with 100% REAL guitars!
There are a few things that I'd like to also point out.
1) It is impossible to play the solo beginning at 4:38 without playing each part separate and 'gluing' it all together.
2) I cannot speed/alternate pick as good as the actual song portrays! some parts were sped up 100% (like dragonforce)
3) It's taken me nearly 3 whole days to finish composing. Please appreciate my efforts and listen to the whole thing before you vote!
Thanks for your time!
Now listen for pleasurable ear stimulation or "Aural Sex" as I like to call it.

Guitar play is great as always and the solo's never cease to impress. Personally I think the drums might be a little too loud at certain points but nothing major, that's the only negative thing I can see with this track so 4.5 stars Great job!

Shoplifting - Police Procedure ( 4.34.02.L8 )
Extent: Jersey
First time offenders are normally sent to Parish Hall Enquiry and dealt with by the Centenier. This may result in a warning or fine, but the case could be sent to the Magistrate's Court if the Centenier or defendant wishes it.
Previous offenders will always be dealt with by the Magistrate's Court.
There has been much research into 'unexplained' examples of shoplifting by otherwise respectable members of society, so far without any firm explanations for why this sometimes occurs. Such aberrations would be dealt with pragmatically by the Centenier at a Parish Hall Enquiry, who may simply issue a warning.

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — Members of First Baptist Church know that God is always at work.
"God is always moving and working and serving and ministering in us, and part of our task as followers is to identify where God is moving and then come along and join him and be a part of that ministry," Senior Pastor Wade Smith said Wednesday during the MannaFest luncheon the church hosts monthly.
For the last 10 years, the church has moved with God on Sunday afternoons, serving a meal at Food and Shelter, 104 W. Comanche St.
When the church first started serving meals, they were serving about 40 to 50 individuals in a community they refer to as the Friendship Community. Now, there are about 150 to 200 attending the Sunday lunch.
"Over that 10 years, as you grow from that 40 to 50 to 150 to 200 on Sunday, it's created some growing pains. We've seen a wonderful Bible study class that has begun to really reach out to that community," Smith said.
Those growing pains have now led to questions about the church's role with the downtown community, but through conversation, Wade said, they now realize the answers.
"We are compelled to deal with this mandate that God is about feeding the hungry. He's about caring for the poor. He's about providing food and clothing and shelter for those who don't have it. He's about liberating the oppressed, those from addiction and whatever they struggle with," Smith said. "What we also discovered was that a lot of folks were coming for the food service that didn't desire the Bible study, they didn't want to be a part of the worship and were looking for a place for shelter to get out of the weather.
"As we noticed our Friendship Community changing, it really caused us to take the opportunity to step back and say, 'We really need to look at this and understand what some of the greater problems are."
So, after several weeks of discussion, the church has now partnered with Food and Shelter again to offer Kingdom Ministry that will begin this Sunday.
The idea of the ministry is to seek the help of other churches in the downtown area and provide a dinner at Food and Shelter at 4 p.m. on the first and third Sundays of the month.
"We have been talking with other downtown churches and trying to create a Kingdom Coalition and find folks that would be willing to walk with us. Food and Shelter has been very gracious and generous and eager to partner," Smith said.
Smith expects that on the first Sunday of the month, there will be a spiritual focus or seminar and on the third Sunday, the church will open its clothing pantry for those in need.
"We're excited about doing this. We're excited about partnering with some other churches. I've talked to three pastors between downtown and Campus Corner over the last weeks that are struggling with some of the issues we are with the changing downtown community," Smith said. "We don't want this to be a Baptist thing as much as we want to be just a place where we can gather to encourage each other in our faith and have a place to connect and network and have some conversation as it relates to the Kingdom of God."
Food and Shelter Executive Director April Doshier also was at Wednesday's lunch.
"This has been, I think, a beautiful process. I think this is how our community should work together. When we see an issue, it doesn't turn to one person to solve the issue, but we've joined forces and created something that is probably going to be more widely affective than any one of us could have done on our own," Doshier said.
For more information about the project or to partner with First Baptist Church, call 321-1753.

Dr. Christopher Morehart showcasing his excavation site in the northern Basin of Mexico for public archaeology day
I am an environmental anthropologist/archaeologist, an ethnobotanist/paleoethnobotanist, and a landscape/household archaeologist. Broad, no? One of the best things about archaeology is the ability and training to exhibit this kind of flexible pragmatism. Indeed, this characteristic is what drew me to archaeology and is what keeps me here. These interests have led me to tackle a number of social questions at different times and places. Regionally, the vast majority of my work as an anthropological archaeologist occurs in the region scholars call (somewhat arbitrarily) Mesoamerica. Sub-regionally, I have conducted research in the Maya Lowlands of Belize, Yucatan, and Guatemala, and I have been working intensively in the Basin of Mexico over the past several years. Conceptually, much of my research centers on questions of inequality and ideology. I have studied the impact of state power on agrarian landscapes, the connection between politics and environmental sustainability, the integration of ritual with politics, community formation in the wake of imperial collapse, the effect of economic circumstances on gender relations, the role of archaeological narratives in contemporary identity politics, and many other important anthropological issues.
I continue to work as a paleoethnobotanist on archaeological projects in Yucatan, Mexico; Belize, Guatemala; and the southeast United States. Creating a Mesoamerican ethnobotanical database (based on published literature) is a project I've been working on since 2000 (though I am now picking it up again after a hiatus). However, my primary research exists in central Mexico, namely the Northern Basin of Mexico. I was the director of the Proyecto Chinampero Xaltocan, an archaeological project that reconstructed the raised field agricultural landscape surrounding the pre-Aztec city state of Xaltocan. This project gave me the opportunity to invest in an agricultural landscape the same amount of time and energy archaeologists typically give to households. In so doing, I realized the importance of these spaces for addressing central problems in the archaeology of political economy as well as key limitations in many of our models that explain the relationship between farmers and state polities (i.e., all that bottom-up/top-down nonsense). Moreover, this work opened my eyes to agricultural landscapes as active, lived spaces—spaces where past people spent so much of their daily lives (but spaces that seem to be relegated archaeologically to a handful of surface collections, trenches or test pits, if that). Using satellite imagery and aerial photos (managed in a GIS) with this intensive, on the ground fieldwork, allowed me to document one of the largest pre-Aztec chinampa systems.
Currently, I am the director of a project that seeks to examine community formation, conflict, and ritual relations following a period of imperial collapse, particularly the Epiclassic period in central Mexico. A relatively enigmatic period, the Epiclassic denotes a block of several centuries following the decline of Teotihuacan and leading up to the rise of city states that marked the Postclassic period. Archaeologists have long designated the Epiclassic as decadent and transitional, but my research on shrines and communities in the Northern Basin of Mexico does not support this narrative. This was a dynamic period in which communities developed, located places on the landscape for ritual, and engaged in warfare (and even sacrifice), possibly independently of the power of emergent polities. The Epiclassic period is as much a pan-Mesoamerican phenomenon (especially in the highlands) as it is a time period, and its significance is not restricted to the Basin of Mexico. However, most scholars recognize some macro-regional link to the dynamics of this time and the breakdown of the Teotihuacan state. My project, which centers on an area no more than 20 km west of Teo, takes on added importance in understanding this period of central Mexican history.
As an environmental anthropologist, however, this work is only one aspect of longer term research on the historical ecology of the northern Basin of Mexico—a project with no temporal boundaries and with questions whose answers are as much about the present as they are about the past.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jerry Lewis' separation from the Muscular
Dystrophy Association is not a laughing matter for some comedians.
Paul Rodriguez, Larry Miller, Tom Dreesen, Norm Crosby and
others have joined in support of Lewis, the 85-year-old comedian
who the MDA says is no longer its national chairman and will not
appear on this year's telethon.
The funnymen told reporters gathered at The Laugh Factory comedy
club Friday in Hollywood that they want the MDA to feature Lewis on
the upcoming telethon.
Rodriguez says Lewis should be brought back in a limo and given
the accolades that he deserves.
The group says they hadn't spoken with Lewis since the
separation was announced but Laugh Factory owner Jamie Masada said they supported him regardless of why he was dismissed.
