PHOTOS: Cockermouth School prom
Published at 11:48, Thursday, 05 July 2012
Cockermouth School pupils arrived at the Hunday Manor Hotel in style on Wednesday night.
Despite showers interspersed with brief glimpses of sunshine, the year 11 students still had a smile on their faces at their prom, which they had arranged themselves at the Winscales hotel.
It was a chance for the youngsters to say goodbye to classmates and celebrate the end of their GCSEs.

I have been using Spring for a few months now. The large application I'm working on has a number of factories which I can't see how to replace (or make work elegantly) with Spring.
Consider this code snippet from one such factory:
Sorry for the lame example, however you can see that I have a number of services each implementing the same interface. The factory dishes out the appropriate service based on a supplier id that is only determined at run-time.Code:public class SupplierServiceFactory { public ISupplierService create(int supplierId) { if (supplierId == 1) { return new FirstSupplierService(); } else if (supplierId == 2) { return new SecondSupplierService(); } else if (supplierId == 3) { return new ThirdSupplierService(); } } }
The only way I can see to handle this is as follows:
XML Config file:
Factory:Code:<beans> <bean id="suppSvc1" class="FirstSupplierService"/> <bean id="suppSvc2" class="SecondSupplierService"/> <bean id="suppSvc3" class="ThirdSupplierService"/> <bean id="suppFactory" class="SupplierServiceFactory"> <property name="firstSupplierService" ref="suppSvc1"/> <property name="secondSupplierService" ref="suppSvc2"/> <property name="thirdSupplierService" ref="suppSvc3"/> </bean> </beans>
I hope I haven't made any typos, this is bogus code that I've just typed in.Code:public class SupplierServiceFactory { ISupplierService firstSupplierService; ISupplierService secondSupplierService; ISupplierService thirdSupplierService; // Setter methods for Spring injection. public void setFirstSupplier(ISupplierService svc) { firstSupplierService = svc; } public void setSecondSupplier(ISupplierService svc) { secondSupplierService = svc; } public void setThirdSupplier(ISupplierService svc) { thirdSupplierService = svc; } // factory method public ISupplierService create(int supplierId) { if (supplierId == 1) { return firstSupplierService; } else if (supplierId == 2) { return secondSupplierService; } else if (supplierId == 3) { return thirdSupplierService; } } }
My question is, is there a better way of doing this? It is using injection so it's better than it was (I can create mock service objects and inject these into jUnit tests) but it still seems a bit clumsy to me.
I could probably improve things by using a map to define each of the services used in the factory in the XML file, however this is not my major concern. It's more the factory create(int) method and the "if" statement within it.
It also seems to me that this method would only be applicable if the services are singletons. Some of the factories I'm looking at deal with singleton services, but others deal with prototypes.

When Rex Hospital Executive Chef Ryan Conklin was 18 he worked as pot washer for Columbia University's executive conference center in New York
"The chefs would have me do all of their tedious work (peeling shrimp, potatoes, carrots, and chopping parsley) which I happened to pick up quickly."
Conklin expanded his love of the kitchen and graduated from The Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY. Upon graduating, he worked for The Four Seasons Hotel in New York and in Limerick, Ireland. At the age of 24 he became the executive chef at Rex Hospital.
Recently Conklin showed off his culinary prowess and captured gold and won the Association for Healthcare Foodservice 2012 Culinary Competition. The competition was held in Miami, Florida. Conklin joined together with Rex Food and Nutrition Retail Services Coordinator Tyran Lawson and competed against hospital chefs from all over the country. Conklin and Lawson had 75 minutes to prepare, cook and present the entrée and sides. However, the competition was not that easy. The chefs had to prepare meals that followed nutritional guidelines and cost less than $7 to produce.
"The competition was held in Miami, Florida for the Association of Healthcare Foodservice's annual conference and was sponsored by Tyson Foods," Conklin said. "Five teams were selected out of over 30 applicants nationwide. We had to cook our food in front of an audience of over 300 people, and the food was judged by world renowned chefs on overall taste, appearance, sanitation practices, etc."
Judges looked ranked dishes on organization, culinary skills, taste and presentation. Norman Van Aken, Chef and Director of Restaurants at the Miami Culinary Institute and James Beard Foundation Winner; Rene Marquis, Executive Chef with the U.S. Army and Military Regional Director with the American Academy of Chefs; and Paula DaSilva, Executive Chef at 1500 Degrees, the only Florida restaurant noted in Esquire's annual magazine feature, "The Best New Restaurants in America 2011" were the judges of the competition.
Conklin has received a lot of acclaim for capturing the top prize.
"I won bragging rights for being the top Hospital Chef in the nation. The results have been featured in food industry magazines nationwide, along with a gold medal, trophy, and a set of cooking knives."

I bought this necklace about 7 months ago and it holds one of the most honored places in my jewelry collection. It is so beautifully made, all the precious stones placed in such a way as to look like a natural waterfall of color. Neererat is an extremely talented artist and I bought the carnelian flower earrings to go with this and the ensemble is gorgeous. I get at least 5 comments of praise whenever I wear it. I will buy other pieces from this artist as they become available. Also, the packaging is precious, box covered in hand made paper with leaves embedded , the necklace lovingly placed on a small handmade pillow inside. I just can rave about it enough!
I love my necklace and earrings. The artist who made them is remarkable. It's absolutely my favorite piece of jewerly right now. I am actually wearing it today to work. I am going to order several more pieces for myself and for Christmas giflts. Very special - I love, love love....Thank you.
This necklace was wonderful. It is rather short but if it were any longer than the beautiful flower wouldnt show. the extender makes the length perfect for me. Not only is this REALLY BEAUTIFUL it is nicely made. I would definately recommend this necklace for someone who wants something a little different and wants lots of compliments on how they look. :) I love it.
I get so many compliments when I wear this. My daughter is always wanting to borrow this but that will not happen! She never returns things! I am goiong to have to purchase one of her own. I would recommend this to anyone. I love it!
Thank you for a very beautiful set of jewelry. I wore it to a wedding and got many interested comments. I was sure to tell them that they were made in Thailand. The bracelets are unique.
I loved it and so did every one else. I even wore it to church and it was to much or out of place.
This is a beautiful piece and a bargain. You couldn't touch this necklace in the stores for this price, and I doubt that you could find anything like it. The colors are bright and beautiful. Matched the outfits that I bought it for to a "T".
I've placed my order after looking at it for many times...I'm so in love with the necklace upon looking at it on the pictures..but to my dismay the color that I've been expecting to have disappointed me. The stones are more on turquoise instead of agate or carnelian...blue is more dominant than the RED/brownish color that I wanted to have. Though the necklace is very pretty hanging to my neck the only complaint that I've had is the COLOR. Everything from the package and the wrapping is very pretty, the craftsmanship is great. I would be much happier if my excitement to have the color been satisfied that's why am just rating this for 4 stars.
Was impress by both the necklace as well as the presentation. The box it came in was just as lovely to look at as the necklace. I loved the colors of the flower and the surrounding beads. I would prefer it to be a bit longer but it was accurately described on-line. The length is a personal preference. Would not hesitate to recommend this necklace or even to purchase another as a gift. Just lovely.
Lovely necklace, same as pictured......very satisfied and would certainly consider it for a gift.....tho this one is for me!....and it came in a lovely jewelsry case too.....

Coconut oil
Coconut oil is an edible oil extracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconuts harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Throughout the tropical world, it has provided the primary source of fat in the diets of millions of people for generations. It has various applications in food, medicine, and industry. Because of its stability, it is slow to oxidize and, thus, resistant to rancidity, lasting up to two years owing to the high saturated fat content.[1]
Many health organizations advise against the consumption of high amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][6]
Contents |
Dry process[edit]
Coconut oil can be extracted through "dry" or "wet" processing. Dry processing requires the meat to be extracted from the shell and dried using fire, sunlight, or kilns to create copra.[9] The copra is pressed or dissolved with solvents, producing the coconut oil and a high-protein, high-fiber mash. The mash is of poor quality for human consumption and is instead fed to ruminants; there is no process to extract protein from the mash. A portion of the oil extracted from copra is lost to the process of extraction.
Wet process[edit]
The all-wet process uses raw coconut rather than dried copra, and the protein in the coconut creates an emulsion of oil and water.[10] The more problematic step is breaking up the emulsion to recover the oil. This used to be done by prolonged boiling, but this produces a discolored oil and is not economical; modern techniques use centrifuges and pre-treatments including cold, heat, acids, salts, enzymes, electrolysis, shock waves, or some combination of them. Despite numerous variations and technologies, wet processing is less viable than dry processing due to a 10–15% lower yield, even compared to the losses due to spoilage and pests with dry processing. Wet processes also require investment of equipment and energy, incurring high capital and operating costs.[11]
Proper harvesting of the coconut (the age of a coconut can be 2 to 20 months when picked) makes a significant difference in the efficacy of the oil-making process. Copra made from immature nuts is more difficult to work with and produces an inferior product with lower yields.[12] Conventional coconut oil uses hexane as a solvent to extract up to 10% more oil than just using rotary mills and expellers. The oil is then refined to remove certain free fatty acids, in order to reduce susceptibility to rancidification. Other processes to increase shelf life include using copra with a moisture content below 6%, keeping the moisture content of the oil below 0.2%, heating the oil to 130–150 °C (266–302 °F) and adding salt or citric acid.[13] Virgin coconut oil (VCO) can be produced from fresh coconut meat, milk or residue. Producing it from the fresh meat involves removing the shell and washing, then either wet-milling or drying the residue and using a screw press to extract the oil. VCO can also be extracted from fresh meat by grating and drying it to a moisture content of 10–12%, then using a manual press to extract the oil. Producing it from coconut milk involves grating the coconut and mixing it with water, then squeezing out the oil. The milk can also be fermented for 36–48 hours, the oil removed, and the cream heated to remove any remaining oil. A third option involves using a centrifuge to separate the oil from the other liquids. Coconut oil can also be extracted from the dry residue left over from the production of coconut milk.[13]
A thousand of mature coconuts weighing approximately 1,440 kilograms (3,200 lb) yield around 170 kilograms (370 lb) of copra from which around 70 litres (15 imp gal) of coconut oil can be extracted.[14]
RBD stands for "refined, bleached, and deodorized." RBD oil is usually made from copra (dried coconut kernel).
The dried copra is placed in a hydraulic press with added heat and the oil is extracted. This yields up practically all the oil present, amounting to more than 60% of the dry weight of the coconut.[15]
This "crude" coconut oil is not suitable for consumption because it contains contaminants and must be refined with further heating and filtering.
Another method for extraction of a "high-quality" coconut oil involves the enzymatic action of alpha-amylase, polygalacturonases, and proteases on diluted coconut paste.[16]
Unlike virgin coconut oil, refined coconut oil has no coconut taste or aroma. RBD oil is used for home cooking, commercial food processing, and cosmetic, industrial, and pharmaceutical purposes.
RBD coconut oil can be processed further into partially or fully hydrogenated oil to increase its melting point. Since virgin and RBD coconut oils melt at 24 °C (76 °F), foods containing coconut oil tend to melt in warm climates. A higher melting point is desirable in these warm climates, so the oil is hydrogenated. The melting point of hydrogenated coconut oil is 36–40 °C (97–104 °F).
In the process of hydrogenation, unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) are combined with hydrogen in a catalytic process to make them more saturated. Coconut oil contains only 6% monounsaturated and 2% polyunsaturated fatty acids. In the partial hydrogenation process, some of these are transformed into trans fatty acids.[17]
Fractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the whole oil, in which the different medium-chain fatty acids are separated for specific uses. Lauric acid, a 12-carbon chain fatty acid, is often removed because of its high value for industrial and medical purposes.[18] The fractionation of coconut oil may be used to make caprylic/capric triglyceride oil.[19] Medium-chain triglycerides like caprylic/capric triglyceride oil are most frequently used for medical applications, special diets and cosmetics, sometimes also being used as a carrier oil for fragrances.
The United States Department of Agriculture has published estimated production figures for coconut oil as follows; tabulated years are from October 1 through September 30:[20]
Year | 2005–06 | 2006–07 | 2007–08 | 2008–09 | 2009–10 | 2010–11 |
Production | 5.91 | 5.42 | 5.79 | 5.62 | 6.60 | 6.24 |
Coconut oil makes up around 2.5% of world vegetable oil production.
The World Health Organization's Codex Alimentarius guidelines on food, food production and food safety, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization, includes standards for commercial partners who produce coconut oil for human consumption.[21] The Asian and Pacific Coconut Community (APCC), whose 18 members produce about 90 per cent of the coconut sold commercially,[22] has published its standards for virgin coconut oil (virgin coconut oil is obtained from fresh, mature coconut kernels through means which do not "lead to alteration of the oil").[23]

Many health organizations advise against the consumption of high amounts of coconut oil due to its high levels of saturated fat, including the United States Food and Drug Administration,[2] World Health Organization,[3] International College of Nutrition,[4] the United States Department of Health and Human Services,[5] American Dietetic Association,[6] American Heart Association,[7] British National Health Service,[8] and Dietitians of Canada.[6][dead link]
Coconut oil contains a large proportion of lauric acid—a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.[30] It is also found in significant amounts in laurel oil, palm kernel oil (not to be confused with palm oil), human and animal breast milk and sebaceous gland secretions.[31][32] This may create a more favourable blood cholesterol profile, though it is unclear if coconut oil may promote atherosclerosis through other pathways.[30] Because much of the saturated fat of coconut oil is in the form of lauric acid, coconut oil may be a better alternative to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil when solid fats are required.[33] In addition, virgin coconut oil is composed mainly of medium-chain triglycerides,[34] which may not carry the same risks as other saturated fats.[33][35] [36]
Advocacy against coconut and palm oils in the 1970s and 80s due to their perceived danger as a saturated fat caused companies to instead substitute trans fats, unaware of their health-damaging effects.[37]
A repellent made from coconut oil can be used to prevent tungiasis-causing sand fleas from invading the body.[38]

In food[edit]
Coconut oil is commonly used in cooking, especially for frying and is a common flavor in many South Asian curries. In recent years, virgin coconut oil has become increasingly popular in natural food circles and with vegans. It was described in a New York Times article as having a "haunting, nutty," flavor that also has a touch of sweetness, which works well in baked goods, pastries, and sautés.[39] Coconut oil is used by movie theatre chains to pop popcorn, adding a large amount of saturated fat in the process.[40] Coconut oil (along with Laurel leaf oil and palm kernel oil) contains a large proportion of lauric acid, which is converted to monolaurin in the body, a fat found otherwise only in breast milk.[31] Lauric acid is destroyed by some oil processing methods.
Other culinary uses include replacing solid fats produced through hydrogenation in baked and confectionery goods.[33] Hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated coconut oil is often used in non-dairy creamers, and snack foods including popcorn. Hydrogenated coconut oil is also sold in Australia under the brand-name Copha and is the main ingredient in Australian snacks such as Chocolate crackles and White Christmas.
The smoke point of coconut oil is 177 °C (351 °F).[26]
Coconut oil has been tested for use as a feedstock for biodiesel to be used as a diesel engine fuel. In this manner, it can be applied to power generators and transport using diesel engines. Since straight coconut oil has a high gelling temperature (22–25 °C), a high viscosity, and a minimum combustion chamber temperature of 500 °C (932 °F) (to avoid polymerization of the fuel), coconut oil is typically transesterified to make biodiesel. Use of B100 (100% biodiesel) is possible only in temperate climates, as the gel point is approximately 10 °C (50 °F). The oil must meet the Weihenstephan standard[41][better source needed] for pure vegetable oil used as a fuel, otherwise moderate to severe damage from carbonisation and clogging will occur in an unmodified engine.
The Philippines, Vanuatu, Samoa, and several other tropical island countries are using coconut oil as an alternative fuel source to run automobiles, trucks, and buses, and to power generators.[42][better source needed] Coconut oil is currently used as a fuel for transport in the Philippines.[43] Further research into the oil's potential as a fuel for electricity generation is being carried out in the islands of the Pacific, though to date it appears it is not useful as a fuel source due to the cost of labour and supply constraints.[44]
Coconut oil has been tested for use as an engine lubricant[45] and a transformer oil.[46]
Acids derived from coconut oil can be used as herbicides.[47]
Coconut oil (and derivatives, such as coconut fatty acid) are used as raw materials in the manufacture of surfactants such as cocamidopropyl betaine, cocamide MEA and cocamide DEA.
Personal uses[edit]
Coconut oil can be used as a skin moisturizer, helping with dry skin[48] and reduces protein loss when used in hair.[49] Coconut oil can also be used as sexual lubricant, although it can damage latex condoms.[50][verification needed]
Before the advent of electrical lighting, coconut oil was the primary oil used for illumination in India and was exported as cochin oil.[51]
Coconut oil is an important base ingredient for the manufacture of soap. Soap made with coconut oil tends to be hard, although it retains more water than those made with other oils and therefore increases manufacturer yields. It is more soluble in hard water and salt water than other soaps allowing it to lather more easily.[52] A basic coconut oil soap is clear when melted and a bright white when hardened.[53]

• What: Second annual Snellville Fall Festival
• When: 1 to 8 p.m. Saturday
• Where: The Snellville Town Green opposite City Hall, 2342 Oak Road, Snellville
• For more information: Visit www.snellvillepri...>
SNELLVILLE -- Although Snellville's annual spring festival is known as the city's most popular event, it seems the community is also highly receptive of an autumn festival. For its second year, Snellville Fall Festival will be held at the Snellville Town Green on Saturday and is estimated to have more than 4,000 attendees.
"We are amazed at the tremendous reception the festival got from the community and the vendors," said Joe Burnett, executive director of Snellville Tourism and Trade (STAT). "We feel like we are on target and gave the community what they really did want."
The festival will have a plethora of seasonal and carnival foods, as well as live music and more than 60 arts and crafts vendors. For the children there will be a Kid's Zone with inflatables, bungee jumping equipment, hay wagon rides and more.
This year there will be an antique car show, presented by the American Dream Vette Club.Plus, there will now be a second stage for music in the back of City Hall that will feature Don Law from 1 to 5 p.m. The main stage will have music all day and will be headlined by the band All in Red beginning at 6 p.m.
For those looking to be active participants in the day's happenings, there will be a children's Halloween costume contest, Best Pie and Cake contests and a scarecrow competition. For the kids costume contest, children up to age 12 can compete and it begins at 2:30 p.m.
The cake and pie contests will accept 12 competitors each. Entries will be judged at 4 p.m. on "taste and overall presentation," according to the STAT website. First prize includes $75 and a plaque, whereas second prize is $35 and a plaque.
For the best scarecrow contest there is not a limit on the number of competitors. The first place prize-winner will receive $100. Plus, according to Burnett, the winner's scarecrow will be on display in the Town Center through Halloween.
Throughout the day there will also be an apple-bobbing contest, guessing games, an eating contest and train rides around the Snellville Town Green.
"These will be the type of activities where people won't just stand there. They will be able to participate," Burnett said.
Overall, the festival hopes to be a fun day for the community to celebrate town pride and seasonal spirit.
"It is important as something that allows the community to come together," he said.

My band's Reverbnation page:
It most certainly was, it was a commercial resurgence and in my opinion one hell of a piece of music. The album is - in a good way - a very unique chapter in Sabbaths cataloque. Especially Geezers return made a huge impact to the album: it was a return to the "true" Sabbath sound in many ways. And like you said it also resulted into Geezer staying in the band for Cross Purposes too, the best of the Martin era, and also the most Sabbath sounding one.
And I do like Headless Cross for example, but it just lacks something when compared to the first six, the Dio era albums and Born Again too. Great music, especially if you take it out of the Sabbath context. But since it's under the Sabbath banner it will always be compared to classic albums like SBS and H&H. And it's one massive task for an album to compete with the likes of them. I don't personally think that it was a horrible decision to keep the Sabbath name after Born Again (excluding 7th Star), but I think it would probanly have been better to change the name. Sure the albums probably sold bit better back then with the established name, but I'd say that the albums would have been received better and have a better reputation now with another name on the covers. Then there wouldn't be the moral question about Iommi keeping the name alone and the albums wouldn't have been compared to Sabbaths classic material, atleast to the same extent. But if this scenario would have taken place, it would have been, of course, more than ok to do Cross Purposes under the Sabbath name, since Iommi and Geezer were there - and hence the soul of Sabbath as well.

"No. They were two DIFFERENT LINE-UPS of the SAME BAND...there is a huuuuge difference."
A huge difference that will remain unstated by the poster because he/she can't actually explain it.
Dehumanizer is great album but came out in wrong time
I don't know if it was good for them but I know it was good for me.
In my opinion an album is worth it even if it has just one or two epic songs, meaning songs that are as good as the best the band has written previously (or at least very close to as good). This is how I feel about much of the Dio era stuff, although it doesn't impact me in the same way the Ozzy stuff does it is still better than everything else out there.
There are many Dio era songs that I can't live without, H&H, Children of the Sea, Die Young, Lonely is the Word, Over and Over and imo the best Dio era song "I".
Two songs from "Born Again" reach this "epic" status with me as well. "Disturbing the Priest" and "Zero the Hero".
While Ozzy's departure from Sabbath depressed me more than anything when it happened (thank god that was my biggest problem), it also gave the world a totally different kind of greatness (from both Ozzy and Sabbath) and it allowed Iommi to go in a different direction.
yeah to end this long-winded speech, Dehumanizer was worth it just for the song "I" alone.
I'm so glad that things worked out as they did or I would not have one of my most favorite songs. An epic song.

"There's no need to have a reason...there's no need to wonder why"
Dehumanizer is one of my favorite albums of Black Sabbath, with Heaven & Hell and Sabotage.
(I think) you can't compare TYR and Dehumanizer, because it's not the same style. TYR is more epic. Dehumanizer is darker, epicless, but better IMO. Not the same lineup, not the same music.
I love TYR too, but when I listened to Dehumanizer for the first time, I was surprised at EACH song. A new surprise at every time, until Buried Alive. When I listened to TYR, I was very surprised by the first track, "Woah, really good !" I thought. But the following tracks are... not as good.
That's how I feel it.
Metallurgy - Fatum Ferro (Doom/Thrash Metal) : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Metall...09403985780438
Am I the only one who was surprised that "Black Sabbath" didn't perform one, single song from TYR on the 1992 tour??
"So if you want to know where I've been hiding all these years, follow the tears.. follow the tears.."
Can't really say because I too young in 1992 to have gone to see them in concert, and oblivious to the existence of Black Sabbath. But I will say I find it disappointing that Dio didn't want any thing to do with singing any of the material that took place in between his departure from the band and his return. A lot of good music was ignored from those periods. He didn't even really enjoy singing the Ozzy tunes either (so I've heard) but he couldn't really get out of doing Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid or the crowd probably would've rioted. It would've been really interesting to have heard Dio's take on songs like Headless Cross and Anno Mundi.
I make the devil laugh and angels wail. Forever I will reside beyond the pale.
Yeah, I guess if he didn't have to perform all those long-time dead Ozzy-era classics (please let them die, they had their era, their rise and fall) Dio would have been more positive towards performing other material. However, do note that Geezer surely must have been of the same opinion that no material written without him was to be performed. And I don't think they even considered putting some material from Born Again on that setlist. So Tony didn't really have any choice I guess.

My band's Reverbnation page:
While I favor the Ozzy years, I think Dehumanizer is one of the best, if not the best, from the Dio years. It's definitely better than any other post Ozzy line up releases.
I feel almost the same way. I do feel it was good for Sabbath, as it put them onto a bigger stage having Dio back in the band, but the CD did not sell gangbusters like H&H, so outside of concert revenues, not sure if the album was a financial success. It was however outstanding for me prersonally. I love all eras of BS, but DIo is my favorite, and in 92, it would be the first time I saw Black Sabbath on stage in Detroit (Clarkston), MI. I remember leaving the concert and thinking how awesome the show was, but that it could have been even better without them playing any of the Ozzy era material. I completely understand why they did, but when Heaven & Hell started touring in 07, I loved the decision to play only their material.
"I can honestly say its truly been an honor to play at his side for all these years, his music will live on forever." ~ Tony Iommi (Speaking of Ronnie James Dio)
Dio already had a hard time accepting to perform material written for the guy who was in the band before him, so did you really expect he would agree to perform material from someone who came in the band AFTER him ?!? Not a chance.
Plus, there was the problem of the length of the shows. For a "Black Sabbath" concert, the average audience wanted to hear "Black Sabbath" classics, which means the obligatory Ozzy era super hits (Iron man, Paranoid...) As Tony and Ronnie said in 2007, renaming the band Heaven and Hell was the only way to escape this state of fact.
AND, as these were Dio fronted Black Sabbath shows, they also had to include the Dio era classics from the early 80s. If you count that they also had to promote the new album, then it doesn't really leave any room for any other era, or else the shows would have lasted three hours !
Tony Iommi Fact #216: In fact, most demolition companies dont use explosives to collapse buildings, only a good stereo and a copy of Dehumanizer.
"Black Sabbath : la Bête venue de Birmingham"
Dehumanizer was released on 22 June 1992. In the US, the album was released on 30 June 1992 by Reprise Records, as Ronnie James Dio and his namesake band were still under contract with the label at the time. While the album received mixed reviews, it was the band's biggest commercial success in a decade. Anchored by the top 40 rock radio single "TV Crimes", the album peaked at number 44 on the Billboard 200. The album also featured the song "Time Machine", a version of which had been recorded for the 1992 film Wayne's World. Additionally, the perception by many fans of a return of some semblance of the "real" Black Sabbath provided the band with some much needed momentum.
It was a masterpiece of an album that was a bad thing for the band overall.
When I first heard the news, having been a huge fan of both Dio and Tony Martin, I thought, "it's never going to last. After having his own band and own way for so long, no way is RJD going to take direction from anyone else, be it Tony Iommi or Ritchie Blackmore."
I was really pissed off that Tony Iommi had broken up a band that was really, really gelling together on the Tyr album to chase something that I think even he knew wouldn't last. After all, Geezer jamming onstage with RJD is a hell of a lot different than writing new material and touring. I thought Dio was on the uptick too with Lock Up The Wolves, because it had some really doomy-sounding stuff on it.
Then the Wayne's World connection with "Time Machine" came up, even though you only hear about .00000000000000001 second of the actual song in the movie!
When the album came out, of course it was brilliant. Those artists are just too good to make a shitty album together. And, I got to see them LIVE for the first time on that tour.
When it fell apart, I thought it ws just the inevitable and that very soon they'd be sucked back into Ozzy's orbit. When Tony Martin rejoined I was stunned...in his place I would have probably told Tony Iommi (as much as I admire him) to go take a flying fuck at a doughnut hole. But Cross Purposes was a good album (though I thought Strange Highways was better) and I got to see that tour, too. Tony Martin had a bad cold but the guy was a real trouper even though probably 3/4 of the audience didn't know who he was, and I think he won a lot of them over.
I was one of maybe .0001% of Sabbath fans who liked Forbidden and I had tickets for that tour too...which was cancelled. When that happened, I started smelling a repeat of the Seventh Star era.
Then of course the Ozzy reunion happened and Sabbath became pretty much a greatest-hits live jukebox grinding out the same ol' shit every night at OzzFest.
Of course they probably made a lot more money going back with Dio and then Ozzy, but to me something unique was lost.
He is not here. He has risen!
I can't emphasize the last part of what you said enough... I know the mainstream and probably majority of Black Sabbath fans.... Or (Ozzy fans claiming to be Black Sabbath fans) ate the reunion up and will disagree, but you are right. In order for something unique to NOT have been lost they needed to play more varied set lists... Symptom Of The Universe, Hole In The Sky, Junior's Eyes, Never Say Die, and so many other great songs from this era were ignored... (Well okay they played a minute of Symptom? Big woop) And made a new album (and continued making new albums). I mean for fuck's sake in all the time that they were reunited they could have made two fucking albums. Oh wait... Ozzy made two albums. His solo albums. But he couldn't do it with Sabbath. Just so thankful the Heaven And Hell thing happened and we got "The Devil You Know"... And we we're even gonna get a follow up to that... If that bastard known as cancer hadn't intervened...
I make the devil laugh and angels wail. Forever I will reside beyond the pale.
I think Strange Highways is the logical successor to Dehumanizer - very overlooked album in the Dio canon but great none the less - a lot of the riffs on it sound like something Tony would have written - especially on the title track.
Cross Purposes was a solid album as well, but once again, only fans happy enough to see a new Sabbath album out would have purchased it - and it was lightweight following the monster Dehumanizer was. I think it may have done better if it had followed Tyr, as the band seemed on the way up in Europe at the time, but Martin just didn't get his dues, which is a shame, given how much he gave to Sabbath during his tenure.
Was it good for Sabbath...well it led to them wanting to reunite with Ozzy so, yes
In all seriousneess, I put this album right up there with Forbidden as Black Sabbath's low point. To quell any objections, my opinion has little to do with the fact that Ozzy is not the singer (first sentence was kind of a joke). It's all about the songs for me. "I" is a decent song, and I enjoy some of the parts of others, but overall there are A. too many parts in each song and they don't seem to fit together (I have the same problem with the song "Shock Wave"), B. it seems like Iommi plays the same damn solo on every song (twiddly dee twiddly dee all over the place) and C. they try to be too tricky with quite a few of the riffs, sounds like they were trying unsuccesfully to write thrash metal or something. Hardly any of it seems natural. Oh and D. there are some seriously corny "choruses" on here (take Letters from Earth and Master of Insanity for example). Anyways, I realize this thread is not about whether or not we like the album per se, but I just felt it necessary to explain my viewpoint, no doubt an unpopular one in this thread, before addressing whether or not it was good for the band (or the band name?)
Well, it sold better than the TM stuff so financially it was good (although I hear Dehumanizer cost a million dollars to make). I don't believe they were going anywhere special with the album TYR (3rd or 4th worst Sabbath album to me), so no big loss there. On the other hand, Dehumanizer was even worse, so that couldn't be considered good. It did bring Geezer back into the fold, which paid dividends on Cross Purposes (which I actually think is not a horrible album!)..All things considered, 2 points to 1 says it was good for them.

I think Tyr was good, but for me this was Black Sabbath album, that not was Black Sabbath 100%, this is not Never Say Die, but this is another part of Heaven and Hell->Eternal Idol story with interesting viking theme, but only one really Sabbath song "The Sabbath Stones" - good song, but far from After All for example. I love album as some kind of painting, but if i look in details, i'm not so happy (same things i can say about Technical Ecstasy wich i love album, but not happy with all songs). I think this is not Sabbath level album, but very near.
Dehumanizer IMO the best album from all sides except stoner rock, but we didn't heard any stoner songs from 1975 year in my opnion and this part of Sabbath is complitely lost until Forbidden album (one of my favorites at this point). I love this album - i love riffs, i love melodies, and of cause i love lyrics - any song from this album is masterpiece (4 me). I can't compare Dehumanizer with Tyr - it's like shame that we have this topic and some fans is so far far from Black Sabbath music.
Sorry this is kind of emotions, but i can't speak about Dehumanizer, when someone trying to compare it with album like Tyr and say something about money... Dehumanizer and money, money and Dehumanizer... *facepalm*
Dehumanizer is a good album, but I think it ruined it for Sabbath. I mean, they had a good thing going on TYR. Albums were selling well, they had packed concerts in Europe and, if I recall correctly, their selling charts with Martin were bigger (in europe) than with Dio. So, they broke the neck of that for a born dead reunion. Still, it was great because we now have one more album with Dio (even tho I don't like Dehumanizer THAT much).
Ps: As El Lobo once said, for me Dehumanizer sounds like a big song to me. Many songs with the same sound and spirit. It does sound a huge song, maybe divided in acts, but is still a huge single song.

It was a good album with good songs (with Dio, Iommi, Butler, Appice and Nicholls how could it be otherwise?), but I think it was a bad situation.
I am one of the 0.000099999% of people in the U.S. who was a fan of the Tony Martin era and who thought they were on their way to reconsolidating the gist of what they were with Tyr. I had always thought Cozy Powell would be a good drummer for Sabbath.
When I heard about the Dio reunion in '91, I was stunned. RJD was doing quite well with his band (if not as well as he did out of the gate in '83-'84) and the Tyr lineup was getting noted about everywhere but here in the U.S. I knew it wouldn't last; the strongheadedness of both Ronnie James Dio and Tony Iommi hadn't just magically disappeared (Geezer, I think, is more of a "check which way the wind is blowing" type), and I was correct.
There was such hype over "Time Machine" being in Wayne's World but when I saw the movie I only barely heard the song for about two seconds.
If, as Ronnie James Dio claimed, Tony and Geezer would have ran for a reunion with Ozzy whenever Sharon snapped her fingers, and Costa Mesa seemed to bear that out, it was very disingenuous on the part of both of them: get the second-best-known singer (Dio) back to lead in to the reunion of the original lineup...but don't tell anyone, especially not the second-best-known singer.
That said, Dehumanizer is a fantastic album (I would like to hear the demos that Tony Martin did) and I got to see Black Sabbath live for the first time on that tour.

Agreed. I really like that album, and Angry Machines because they sound so pissed-off.
He is not here. He has risen!
I want to echo the sentiment that it was a good album but ultimately bad for the band. Had they been able to stick it out with Dio, it could have quite possibly been a good thing. As mentioned before, the Tyr line up was gelling pretty nicely but Tony broke that up to bring Geezer and Dio back (Vinny is inconsequential; it would have been Cozy if Cozy wanted to stay but Cozy didn't and the horse accident just made it possible for the band to have a good cover story about why Cozy wasn't there). In the US and, to a certain extent, the UK, Sabbath had been losing ground for close to a decade, so I understand the reasoning behind reuniting with Dio. However, it fell apart and whatever popularity they gained from reuniting with Ronnie they lost, and more, when the Dehumanizer line up split. From what I understand, Cross Purposes and Forbidden didn't even sell as well as Tyr and Headless Cross. They never regained that momentum that they were building pre-Dehumanizer.
Yup, that's what I understand, too. According to Geoff Nichols, Cozy was pretty much a straight ahead, pull no punches type guy and Ronnie could be nice to your face but talk shit behind your back and it caused a lot of friction between the two. I read something where Dio was talking about how Tony didn't always pick the best musicians for Sabbath and Cozy was his example. He thought Cozy was great for Rainbow but a poor fit for Sabbath (I disagree, but that's besides the point!), though, I imagine that some of that stems from Dio and Cozy's personal issues.
I thought Dehumanizer was a great album. All of the songs managed to mold together and it always gave me the impression that the whole album was really just one big song. But thats not necessarily bad. I think I remember reading somewhere that Geezer wanted to try to make the entire album centered around the same concept. Musically, the songs were different then anything else in the past. They managed to forge sort of a new sound while still retaining their trademark sounds. This fact becomes quite evident if you compare Dehumanizer to The Mob Rules for example. I would say that this album is probably the darkest album they have ever done. The killer album cover is also a plus.
