Close to airport. Goog bar and dining room.

It was a good value for the overnight stay and parking at the airport. I also like that the hotel used Airlines Parking as their service is excellent. Breakfast was also good with the continental being complementary and an option to purchase the hot buffet. I think that is a great idea.

Desktop alternative to incense
So let's say, just hypothetically, that you can't stand the person who occupies the next cubicle. We perennially chipper campers at Crave would never know how this feels, of course. But if we did--and couldn't resort to physical harm--we might seriously consider bringing something like this to work because the "USB Fragrance Oil Burner" could be the next best thing to incense when trying to keep irritating office mates at bay.
When closed, this little gadget could pass for a speaker or just about any other computer peripheral on the desktop. But it opens up … Read more

a very serious blog.
, 2nd September 2012 at 05:49 PM (379 Views)
OK, so this blog is going to be talking about something that I think is quite a serious topic.
I don't want any trouble in this blog! If can't handle the truth, then fair enough, that's fine, but go cry somewhere else!
So here we go:
These are the (to quote a saying by pkmngreen) "the nun's tits".
THE best shower gel in the entire world, there's no argument about it. I remember using them a few years back, but my parents bought some when they did the big shop the other night and amg they smell so sexy (and make me smell so sexy!) it's untrue.
Don't even deny it.
I love the lemon one most. I could just sit and smell it all day because it smells that nice. After having a workout it's a beautiful thing to just get washed using it. The best shower gel ever. Don't even deny it.
I'll admit, even after getting washed I'll sometimes sit and smell myself because it's just that good and I can think to myself "damn dude, you smell hot".
I recommend anyone to buy and try some of these if you haven't already, though I'm sure most people will have tried them by now though. They've even brought out a chocolate one (which isn't in the image above unfortunately).
Original source shower gels. So damn good.

"He's got a long way to go,'' Holgorsen said. "He hasn't played a whole lot of football. He played two years of high school football and this was the first game in college he'd ever played. He's relatively raw at the quarterback position and has a lot of things he's got to work on.''
Childress, though, seems at least to have a grasp of what to expect and how to handle it. And that's the first step.
"They're probably going to blitz me and put pressure on me. I know that,'' the redshirt freshman said of Maryland. "I think what we have to do is line up in formations that keep them off balance and don't allow them to do what they want to do.''
Again, there are other things Holgorsen wants Childress to improve upon. He wasn't thrilled with his quarterback's sense of urgency against Georgia State. That includes being able to increase the tempo of the offense when the time is right.
"I'm still not happy with our tempo, so I got on him a little bit in the fourth quarter about that,'' Holgorsen said. "A lot of it's me [and] the coaches as far as how we coach tempo, but he's got to help us with that when he's out there. He's got to move people along, get guys lined up, get it communicated and snap it. So we've still got a ways to go with tempo.''
Holgorsen also mentioned Childress' accuracy - "He probably threw four or five balls that I thought were pretty easy to complete and he didn't get that done'' - as well as his timing and continuity with his receivers.
All in all, though, Holgorsen likes what he has to work with going forward.
"There's going to be growing pains. He's going to make mistakes,'' Holgorsen said. "Everybody does.
"He's got a long way to go, but I expect him to continue to get better.''

Gazette urged to endorse Hagel
Chuck Hagel's foreign policy positions pretty much match those of The Charleston Gazette. He will face stiff opposition by the War Party because of his views. He will need the support of both West Virginia senators.
Will The Charleston Gazette endorse and support Hagel, despite his being a Republican?
I hope so.

The right to keep and bear arms
Once again guns are to blame for the crime in this nation. Guns do not have minds, fingers, or the ability to walk or run, the person who holds such a weapon is responsible for the shootings.
We who choose to have a firearm in our home or on our person are covered by the Second Amendment of the United States of America, not only to protect ourselves against anyone who tries to do us with bodily harm and our own government. Let us get it straight, this is a power play. "We The People" know it, and you know it, too.
Now what would you tell this mother of two about this: An Atlanta mom took matters into her own hands on Friday when confronting an intruder. The unidentified woman hid with her 9-year-old twins in a crawlspace as a man broke into her house and began rummaging through it. The alleged burglar, Paul Ali Slater, eventually found the family's hiding space, but not before finding himself staring down the barrel of a .38 revolver. The woman fired six shots, five of which hit Slater in the face and neck, but he managed to flee after the family and ran to a neighbor's house. She did not have the right to protect herself and her children? Three people saved and one dumb jerk in the hospital, because he chose the wrong house.

Product Description
A People's History of the Second World War unearths the fascinating history of the war as fought 'from below'. Until now, the vast majority of historical accounts have focussed on the conflict between the Allied and Axis powers for imperialist mastery. Donny Gluckstein shows that in fact between 1939 and 1945 two distinct wars were fought – one 'from above' and one 'from below'.
Using examples from countries under the Nazi heel, in the colonies and within the Axis and Allied camps, Gluckstein brings to life the very different struggle of the people's and resistance movements which proliferated during the war. He shows how they fought not just fascism, but colonialism and empire, and were betrayed by the Allies at the war's end.
This book will fundamentally challenge our understanding of the Second World War – both about the people who fought it and the reasons for which it was fought.
About The Author
Donny Gluckstein is a lecturer in history at Stevenson College, Edinburgh. He is the author of several books on Marxist history.

Cannot comment on or favorite Activity Stream posts
Hi everyone,
I am working on getting all the bugs out of the buddypress forum I am building before I open it up to the public. I have built a child theme for the buddypress default theme.One of the problems is commenting and favoriting activity posts. When I click "comment" the page refreshes and there is no change to the activity post.
When I try to "favorite" a post, I just get a 404.
In the BuddyPress settings page I have checked "No" to the option "Disable activity stream commenting on blog and forum posts?"Any ideas what is going on here?

Nice and creamy with lots of flavor.

I made this salad as written last night to serve today. When I pulled it out of the fridge this morning, it really seemed like it still needed something- so I added about 1/3 cup of real bacon bits. This helped, but I still think it needed something more, possibly some splenda, maybe chopped red pepper. I'll report back if I find good results with these changes.

Jets draft QB Geno Smith in 2nd round
Saturday - 4/27/2013, 3:30pm  ET
DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
AP Sports Writer
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) -- Geno Smith's surprising slide through the NFL draft stopped in the second round.
Now, he might get a chance to be the New York Jets' starting quarterback.
The former West Virginia star was taken with the seventh pick in the second round, 39th overall, on Friday night and could be the future -- or maybe even present -- replacement for Mark Sanchez.
"Once I received the call," Smith said, "I was extremely elated."
Smith went from looking embarrassed and frustrated Thursday night on national TV during the first round, sitting back stage at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan as pick after pick came and went, and he remained seated and wondered where he'd end up -- and when.
He originally planned to head back home Friday, but opted to stay for the second day of the draft.
"Right now, none of that matters," Smith said during a conference call. "My time has come now."
It's the second straight year the Jets have made major news at the quarterback position, and none of it has been good for Sanchez, although he agreed to a contract extension last offseason. But less than two weeks later, the Jets stunned the rest of the league -- and Sanchez -- by trading for Tim Tebow.
The selection of Smith by new general manager John Idzik seriously clouds the future of Sanchez, the team's first-rounder in 2009 who led the Jets to consecutive AFC championship game appearances but has struggled mightily the past two seasons.
"What this means for Mark Sanchez is competition, and Mark is open to that," Idzik said. "We've had discussions about that, and I think he buys into the fact that that helps him and it helps any player on our team, and as a result, it helps our team."
Smith should compete for the starting job this season with Sanchez, who is owed $8.25 million in guaranteed money this season. But Rex Ryan's Jets currently have Sanchez, Tebow, David Garrard, Greg McElroy and Matt Simms -- and now Smith -- as quarterbacks on their roster.
"We're actually going to add two or three more, I think," Idzik joked.
Tebow was expected to be traded or released, but in a surprising twist could now potentially stay.
It remains to be seen whether Sanchez will remain on the roster by the beginning of the regular season, despite his hefty contract. Idzik acknowledged that he hadn't spoken to Sanchez just before or after the Jets drafted Smith.
The one-time franchise quarterback counts $12.85 million against New York's salary cap this year. If the Jets do decide to cut him as a June 1 designation -- and that could be done at any point between now and then -- they would take a salary cap hit of $12.35 million this year and $4.8 million next year.
At this point, with the new future franchise quarterback on board, owner Woody Johnson could be prepared to cut his losses now. Idzik would not say with certainty that Sanchez will be in training camp with the Jets to even compete with Smith.
"We're not going to try to forecast anything or predetermine anything," Idzik said. "Just put it out on the field and let it play out."
The Jets also drafted versatile Kent State offensive lineman Brian Winters in the third round, and acquired running back Chris Ivory from New Orleans for their fourth-round selection.
New York drafted Alabama cornerback Dee Milliner with the ninth overall pick and Missouri defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson at No. 13 -- a spot they also considered taking Smith -- in the first round Thursday night.
Smith's wait didn't take long Friday night even though a few teams that were expected to be in the mix for him -- Jacksonville, Philadelphia and Arizona -- went in other directions.
Former wide receiver Wayne Chrebet took the podium at Radio City to announce the pick, and Jets fans gathered there were loud, with many cheering and others booing. Smith, considered by many to be the top quarterback available in this year's draft, wasn't even the first player at his position taken. That was Florida State's EJ Manuel, who went to Buffalo with the 16th overall pick on Thursday night.
As Smith sat uncomfortably through the first round, television cameras caught him frowning at times and clearly disappointed that someone who has had so much success on the field was becoming a draft-night punch-line.
"I think it was just a test of patience, a test of character," Smith said. "I wanted to make it my duty to come back today and still represent for my family and all of those that support me."

This blog was written by the NT100 research team
When we conceived of the NT100 our starting point was the simple recognition that around the world digital technologies are being deployed in amazing ways to solve intractable social problems: social exclusion, lack of access to healthcare, education, culture, community; disenfranchisement; abuses of human rights.We were already aware of a pretty sizeable number of inspiring projects but also conscious that for every innovation we had come across, there were probably many more that were unknown to us. We felt that little had been done to build a truly global picture. more >
Whilst the paperclip is unlikely to directly help you choose your candidate, there are other ways that digital technologies already influence your actions.
more >
Our efforts to support more people to become digital makers focusses on an interest in their understanding how digital technologies work. But even with all the great resources available to support young digital makers, what is it that sparks an interest in digital making, and where do you go after that point?
How does a love of football extend into a digital making activity (sensor football boots anyone?); what digital making activities are borne from a passion for fashion and where does a fascination with Harry Potter, Wallace and Gromit or Moshi Monsters enter into digital making? more >
This post has been written by Julian Sefton-Green as a review of the Make Bridge seminar series which aimed to share digital making practices between UK and US organisations. The post evaluates the nature of the process (delivery, feedback and technical issues); the quality and nature of the content and key themes emerging from the discussions; and further thoughts for future kinds of professional development and support.
Whether it be global tech businesses being grilled by the Public Accounts Committee; the launch of 4G networks or the adverts vying for pre-Christmas attention, digital technologies: computers, mobile phones, the internet, have been in the public eye quite a lot recently.
Bran Ferren (somewhat) famously said that technology is 'stuff that doesn't work yet' – we don't think of biros or belts as 'technologies' (that is purposefully designed and made tools), because they're woven into everyday life and work as we'd expect. But how about 'digital technologies' – when will they stop being 'technologies' and start, simply, being the internet, apps or micro-processors? The answer, is when they become more trivial, when we recognise the implicit value in them and understand how they are constructed and work.

"Your self image is so powerful, it unwittingly becomes your destiny."
1951, in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Early Life
Oscar Devereaux Micheaux was born on January 2, 1884, in Metropolis, Illinois. The fifth child of former slaves, Micheaux spent the majority of his youth in Great Bend, Kansas, before moving to Chicago at age 17. There, Micheaux found work as a Pullman porter. In 1906, however, the lure of the West overcame him and he purchased land in South Dakota.
For the next eight years, Oscar Micheaux successfully homesteaded among white neighbors and began to write stories. His experiences during this time became the subject of his first novel, The Conquest: The Story of a Negro Pioneer, which he self-published in 1913. Two years later, financial hardships resulting from a regional drought caused Micheaux to lose his land, and he moved to Sioux City, Iowa. There he established his own publishing company, the Western Book and Supply Company. In 1917, he rewrote The Conquest and published it as what is now his best-known novel, The Homesteader. He sold the book door-to-door in small towns, and to the white people with whom he lived and did business.
From Novelist to Filmmaker
Soon after The Homesteader's publication, Oscar Micheaux was approached by representatives for an African-American film company that wanted to produce a film of the novel. The deal fell through, however, when the company would not agree to let Micheaux direct the film, nor commit to a budget for the film that met his expectations.
On the heels of the failed deal, Micheaux converted his publishing company to the Micheaux Film and Book Company. He sold stock in the company to raise money for his own production of The Homesteader and soon began filming. When he was finished, the film, which filled eight reels, made it the first feature-length film made by an African American. It was released in Chicago in 1919 and was well-received, launching Micheaux's career as a filmmaker.
A Prolific Career
Micheaux's films, like other African-American filmmakers' of the time, were known as "race" films—made by black filmmakers, with an all-black cast, for black audiences. These films were a reaction, and a necessity, to what was then a segregated industry, and a segregated society. However, although Micheaux's films frequently emulated standard Hollywood genres such as mysteries, gangster films and Westerns, his films not only featured non-stereotyped black characters, they also frequently addressed more controversial issues.
Micheaux's second film, 1920's Within Our Gates, was his response to D.W. Griffith's Birth of a Nation, a film that glorified the Ku Klux Klan, and which was one of the most popular films at the time.

Assuming the Dolphins don't trade their pick, they draft Dorsey.
McFadden + Russell = at least fun to watch next season!
Printable View
I wouldn't say that is such a lock. Parcells loves running the 3-4 defense and the Dolphins already have the 3-4 in place. Dorsey is a one gap penetrating defensive tackle. His style is not ideal to being a 3-4 NT. He's talented enough to probably play NT in the 3-4 but it would not be a good use of his skills and you wouldn't be getting the awesome player he was at LSU.
Dorsey is best suited to being the penetrating DT in a 4-3 defense partnered up with a 2 gap DT who'll occupy blocks and stop the run. Kevin and Pat Williams in Minnesota is a good example of this combo.
Dorsey is suited to playing 2 gap in a 3-4 holding up blockers and stuffing the line ala Ted Washington, Vince Wilfork, or Casey Hampton.
Also keep in mind, provided the Raiders retain this coaching staff, that Kiffin and Tom Cable have installed the zone blocking system to great effect. One of the main philosphies behind this technique is that the right type of RB can be successful(see Justin Fargas/every Denver RB). It's not neccessary to have a top 5 talent at RB to make this system succeed.
I love McFadden and Al might fall in love with his measurables but with this philosophy the Raiders might pass on McFadden and take Dorsey if available or a Chris Long, perhaps even a Sedrick Ellis.
I'll be putting together a post Senior Bowl pre combine mock. Make sure you weigh in on it USCkingsfan.
If Kiffen stays, which seems unlikely, then I think the pick might be Ellis...if Al has his way, it might be the kid of a former Raider...Chris Long. Dorsey, Ellis or Long would all be great picks, Dmac wouldn't be a bad pick, but the biggest need is on the Dline.
Hopefully we win that coin toss and pick 3rd...but being a Raider fan, I what to truly expec.t
ESPN - Kelly signs seven-year, $50.5 million contract with Raiders - NFL
Kelly signs seven-year, $50.5 million contract with Raiders
The Oakland Raiders stepped forward Thursday on the eve of free agency and signed Tommy Kelly to the largest contract ever given to a defensive tackle.
Kelly, a defensive end scheduled to move to defensive tackle this season, signed a seven-year, $50.5 million contract Thursday that has $18.125 million in guarantees. In the first three years of the deal, he will make $25.125 million.
Wonder what Haynesworth will get now. He has to have a pretty big smile on his face.
The Raiders reached an agreement with former New York Giants free-agent safety Gibril Wilson on a six-year contract worth $39 million, including $16 million guaranteed. The Giants had a rough Friday. They lost Wilson, and linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor.
--Adam Schefter
As a Pittsburg Steelers fan alll my life, let me be the first to say...HA, HA!!!!!!!!!
What the **** are we thinking, giving these enormous contracts to players who haven't proved their worth?
Kelly and Wilson are solid players no doubt, but this is absolutely ridiculous, giving them that kind of money as if they were in the NFL's elite.
Al Davis has destroyed the Raiders. We will never be great again as long as he's in control.
Because when you're bad you have to overpay for "decent-good" players. That's just the way it is.
The thing with NFL contracts is players NEVER get the full amount. So the guaranteed number is the one to look at. Kelly got overpaid, but he's a player who has shown flashes of talent, he's not worth the money he got, especially coming off ACL surgery but he's not going to get all 50 million that the Raiders signed him to.
Same with Wilson, he's a good safety not a great one. It's a huge position of need for the Raiders, 16 million guaranteed over 6 years isn't terrible and damn near every team is way under the cap. I'm happy that this means Stuart Schwiegert is no longer going to receive any signifigant playing time and hopefully is cut.
Yea, at least Wilson can tackle. Stu was terrible at it - I don't know how many times he'd miss a tackle to give up a big play. And I suppose that when Kelly's healthy he's solid on the line, although we'll see how effective he is coming off his ACL injury.
It's just that with Kelly and Wilson locked up, along with franchise-tagging Asomugha, we don't have a lot of room to address other needs, like wide receiver and o-line.

Iowa State Men Survive Yale 80-70By Rob Gray, Reporter
AMES — Sparks flew, but stubbornly refused to take.
In short, Yale pushed Iowa State to the limit Tuesday at Hilton Coliseum — until the Cyclones finally tapped a precious, yet recently-hidden resource to escape with an 80-70 win before 12,548 fans. "(Former coach) Larry Brown told me, our very first practice, 'Fellas, I don't coach energy, you bring energy,'" ISU coach Fred Hoiberg said of his Indiana Pacers playing days. "Our guys, for the most part, do that. It blows my mind when we don't." Tuesday, the Cyclones (10-3) didn't. Not until the Bulldogs (4-10) led 50-41 with 12:51 left and ISU guard Tyrus McGee spurred a 17-5 surge that gave his team a 58-55 advantage with 8:39 left. The Cyclones wouldn't trail again, but needed a 7-0 run capped by McGee's 3-point play with 3:55 left to effectively seal their 15th straight home win, which matches the fourth-longest streak in school history. "We played together in the second half," said ISU forward Will Clyburn, who scored a game-high 17 points, with 14 coming after the break. "We played Iowa State basketball. The first half wasn't us." Hoiberg said the Cyclones were also sluggish early in their last game — a 76-61 triumph over Missouri-Kansas City. That performance came on Dec. 19, prompting questions of rust formation during the nearly two week-long break from games. Freshman forward Georges Niang quashed that talk, however. "Everybody has a layoff," said Niang, who matched McGee with 14 points off the bench. "I don't see Kansas taking a break on anybody." The sixth-ranked Jayhawks certainly won't be doing that next week. The Cyclones open Big 12 Conference play Jan. 9 at Lawrence. "I'm very disappointed in the way we played," Hoiberg said. "If we play like this throughout conference play we may be done winning. It just can't happen." Yale played efficiently from the start and used a 10-3 run to break a 12-12 tie in the first half. The Bulldogs eventually led by as many as 12 points, while limiting ISU to 25.9 percent field goal shooting in the first half. "They came out real aggressive, trying to beat us up," Niang said. "They caught us off guard in the beginning, then we had to go back to the drawing board and get back at them." The Cyclones scored 53 second-half points and shot 50 percent. They also committed just nine turnovers, their second-lowest total of the season. "We showed what we're capable of doing when we play the right way," Hoiberg said. That starts with energy. It ends with execution. "When adversity hits you, that's when you have to play together," Hoiberg said.

Book Description:In this collection, Audre Lorde gives us poems that explore "differences as creative tensions, and the melding of past strength / pain with future hope / fear; the present being the vital catalyst, the motivating force—activism." As Marilyn Hacker has written, "Black, lesbian, mother, cancer survivor, urban woman: none of Lorde's selves has ever silenced the others; the counterpoint among them is often the material of her strongest poems."

Anyway, SpoilerFix updated...this is for Episode 13, the holiday episode:
11/01 - Dr. Shepherd tends to a patient who has fallen off his roof stringing Chrismukka h lights, three rambunctious child actors sing "The Dreidel Song" over and over and over again.
And a general spoiler from SpoilerFix:
11/01 - There will be a shower scene with Derek and Meredith. Bailey is going to get some. Alex will definately be trying to hook up. Cristina and Burke are back together. Burke will be cooking Cristina a pancake breakfast in an upcoming episode. An upcoming episode will be titled "Owner of a Lonely Heart." Izzie has a very big romantic story line coming up that does not involve Alex. There will be another pregnancy and a "bravely gay character" (it's someone we've already seen on the show). There is "a scary, scary chance that George may have a chance with Meredith."

Be that as it may, am I the only one who thinks it would be interesting to watch George have a chance at MehMeh? I mean, seriously. What could be better than watching him realize what a train wreck (sorry, pun intended) she is? I think George is actually quite a level-headed guy, and the recent addition of some mojo has done wonders for the character (i.e., "depth"). But, YMMV.
Off to see the other threads. Begging the moderator's pardon if this thread is only meant for spoilers and not spoiler spec.

But the neonatologist who cheated on her husband who is also doctor who may or may not have what it takes to save their marriage procreate?? It's, like, dramatic irony, y'all! 'Specially because the Sheppards have a whole upcoming episode together in which they deal with friends who want to have kids but lack a working uterus (see spoilerfix).
By the way, I heart Addison. Just wanted to say that. Her hair is just so...red.
Last thing--it also mentions on spoilerfix that Izzie has a major romance coming up that is not Alex! Oh, I so want those two crazy kids to work things out!

Plus it says "someone we've seen on the show.." the wording doesn't make it sound like it's anyone big.
Yeah, I can't see them making one of the interns or main doctors gay. Not yet at least, it seems more like a season 3-4 reveal. I have to admit my first thought was that it would be the chief. Maybe he couldn't leave his wife because she was willing to hide his secret? (I read the Veronica Mars forums too much..can you tell?)
So far I like Olivia as the best option.
Posted Nov 1, 2005 @ 11:27 PM
*gulp* Seriously, this show could stand to up the HoYay quotient just a tad.Or, they can both be gay and just do each other.
I could buy Joe being gay. None of the Drs. really make sense at this point. Unless Izzie's major romance is with a chick. Ooh, with Olivia. How cute!

Seriously. House is kicking it's butt in the medical-drama-hoyay-department.
I can see people thinking Alex is gay. He makes a lot of "I'm a man!" comments, and yes George does it too, but he does it to prove he's not one of the ladies. Making the male nurse gay would be a bit stereotypical.
Olivia and Izzie would be oh so very fun, but for some reason, I'm thinking it's probably a guy that's gay.

"I hate YOU!"
"No I hate you MORE!"
"You didn't KISS her and she shaved her legs!"
"STFU all you did is plug a hole with your finger!"
And best of all:
I've also gotten some vibes between Burke and Derek every now and again.
Posted Nov 1, 2005 @ 11:42 PM
I really think it's a toss up between Joe and Tyler if it's a guy. I can't see it being an intern.
Posted Nov 1, 2005 @ 11:43 PM
But no. I think Alex is just being a (loving) jerk when he says all that, and I think George is just trying to seem macho. I can't see either of them having a gay storyline. Didn't a patient hit on George last year? One of the Chief's friends?
And wow, would gay Burke and gay McDreamy make for good TV or what?
But again, not happening.

Yes, he's married and had a fling with Mamma Grey, but the affair was 20 some years ago and he hardly sees his wife now. Doesn't even go on vacations with her.
Well I'm only guessing that because there doesn't seem to be anything new for him storywise now that the Ellis storyline & his surgery story is over.
But seriously.. [Seriously!]..my money's on Joe.

Queen singles chronology | ||||
"Love of My Life" is a ballad by the English rock band Queen from their 1975 album A Night at the Opera.[1] The song was written by Freddie Mercury about Mary Austin, with whom he had a long term relationship in the early 1970s.[2] After performing the song in South America in 1981, the version from their live album Live Killers reached number 1 in the singles chart in Argentina and Brazil, and stayed in the charts in Argentina for an entire year.[3]
Freddie Mercury wrote it on the piano and guitar first, Brian May rearranged the song for acoustic 12-string guitar to facilitate live performances. May contributed occasional guitar phrases to the original recording and played the swooping harp glissandos by pasting together multiple takes of single chords. The song is an example of Mercury's familiarity with rubato phrasing, showcasing his classical piano influences, notably by Chopin and Beethoven.
With its similar lyrical theme, later single "These Are the Days of Our Lives" would hearken back to "Love of My Life", twice using the line "I still love you". At the end of "These Are the Days of Our Lives", Mercury simply speaks those words, as he would often do in live versions of "Love of My Life".[4]
During the voyage of the space shuttle Columbia (STS-107), the Israeli astronaut Ilan Ramon, asked to play the song. The song was played in the shuttle and playback and Ramon said: "A special good morning to my wife, Rona, love of my life." Ramon and the ferry died in Columbia disaster shortly thereafter, during its return to the atmosphere in 2003.
Live performances[edit]
Introduced during the News of the World Tour in 1977, "Love of My Life" was such a concert favourite that Mercury frequently stopped singing and allowed the audience to take over. It was especially well received during concerts in South America, and the band released the Live Killers version of the song as a single there.[1]
After Mercury's death, Brian May usually dedicated the song to him. A notable exception is the Sheffield show which yielded the Return of the Champions CD and DVD. At that show, May announced that Mercury's mother was at the show and he dedicated the song to her. In the Queen + Paul Rodgers Tour, May would sing a few lines of the song, then let the audience take over for every verse, as Mercury used to. When played at the Glasgow SECC in the 2008 Cosmos Rocks tour, May dedicated the song to his recently deceased mother. The song was played on the guitar by Brian May on concerts, unlike on the album A Night at the Opera.[5]
1979 Live Single release[edit]
An acoustic version of the song features on the band's 1979 album Live Killers.[1] It was recorded at their concert at Festhalle Frankfurt on February 2, earlier that year. A shortened version was released as a single in the UK and other territories, which did not include the spoken intros and outros from the album. The linear notes for the DVD release "Greatest Video Hits 1" state that although the live audio is from Frankfurt, the accompanying music video that was edited to the track consisted of footage from a 1979 Tokyo concert. Presumably, the Frankfurt gig was not filmed. After performing the song in South America in 1981, it was this version that reached number 1 in the singles chart in Argentina and Brazil, and stayed in the charts in Argentina for an entire year.
- Freddie Mercury: lead vocals, piano, backing vocals
- John Deacon: bass guitar
- Brian May: acoustic and electric guitar, harp
- Roger Taylor: cymbals
Cover versions[edit]
Numerous artists have released a cover of "Love of My Life" commercially, including Scorpions, Michael Burgess, Extreme (which featured Brian May),[5] Rose Marie, Margareth Menezes, Declan Galbraith, Elaine Paige, Mark Slaughter, Antonio Vega, Lani Misalucha, Norma Waterson, John Owen-Jones, Iris, the ladies' gold-medal-winning quartet NoteOrious. Kerry Ellis performed the song with Brian May both on Anthems: The Tour (2011) and at her Friday Night is Music Night special show in April 2012. Joe McElderry covered the song for his fourth studio album, Here's What I Believe.

Raise Your Demolition Recycling Rates
Being competitive in today's demolition market requires innovation and a concerted effort to stay current with the latest developments in recycling and scrap handling. Hauling material to a landfill adds cost to the project, and many new jobs specify recycling goals as part of their LEED certification. Finding new and better uses for recycled materials can become a real competitive advantage when bidding any demolition project, but it does require investment in the proper tools and techniques.
Headquartered in Chicago, Brandenburg has been a leader in developing the most effective demolition techniques. As the green component of most demolition jobs increased, the company was already ahead of the curve.
"It has not really affected us because our normal business practices already exceed the requirements," says John O'Keefe, Brandenburg's marketing manager. "We have been recycling and noticed the advantages a long time before the term 'green' became popular. It's not uncommon for us to reach an over 90% or 95% recycling rate on all materials from the site."
The current trend toward LEED-certified projects affects how demolition contractors approach jobs. "Obviously, there are many LEED projects going on and the recycling percentages are becoming more of a requirement," notes Dennis McGarel, sales manager, Brandenburg. "There are many advantages and we realized those before the LEED projects became popular."
Steps Toward Successful Segregation
Recycling as much as possible also makes economic sense. "Not only are you being more environmentally friendly, financially it is a better decision for the company," McGarel states. "You are saving disposal fees at the landfill and getting paid for the raw material that is becoming a product.
"That being said, you need to have the tools to do it," he continues. "If you are knocking something down in a big pile, it makes segregating very difficult and time consuming."
Material segregation is the key to recycling efforts. "The more you can segregate the material, the more you can recycle," McGarel comments. "The attachments on our excavators in particular allow us to maximize it." Attachments used include grapples, shears and clamping buckets.
The grapples are the most used attachment for Brandenburg, followed by magnets, processors and shears. "A magnet makes sure we get all of the metal scrap out of any debris piles before it makes it to the landfill," says O'Keefe. A processor is necessary to separate the rebar from the concrete, and it gets the concrete closer to a finished product.
While such tools are essential, for Brandenburg, high recycling rates rely on a process that starts with hand labor. "The first step is to identify and abate hazards," says O'Keefe. "The second step is to perform a strip-out of the structure, so that you are already segregating the material and getting rid of the general construction debris, which is basically the only thing that goes to a landfill. That entails removing drywall, flooring, ceiling tiles, lights and ballasts and windows and the glass. We are going to remove all of those items before we start doing structural demolition."
Smaller machines such as Bobcats may also be used during the initial strip-out. "We take an engineering survey to make sure we can put those smaller machines on the floors. We use those to gut it out," McGarel says.
Once structural demolition begins, workers are kept clear of equipment. "The safest thing we can do is keep every single human away from the operating radius of the machine," McGarel states. "You come in with a large labor contingent in the front. When you start actually demolishing the building, your labor should consist of a flagger for the trucks and somebody taking care of the hoses to keep the dust down. There should be no operations occurring while the building itself is being demolished. It is more of a concerted effort."
Only once the building is down and materials have been segregated for shipment is a smaller group of workers brought back in to deal with non-ferrous metals.
For Brandenburg, safety comes first. "We go above and beyond the industry standards to implement the best safety program we can," says O'Keefe. "We are the first demolition contractor to successfully complete OSHA's Challenge Program and to be certified as a Star Member in OSHA's prestigious Voluntary Protection Program (VPP). Besides doing the job effectively and efficiently, our other big advantages are doing it safely and the use and ownership of specialized equipment."
Reuse On Site Cuts Costs
By using recycled aggregates on site, the costs of trucking out brick or concrete and trucking in aggregate can be eliminated. "You save those trucks running through the neighborhood," says McGarel. "It is a huge benefit that they recognize a lot more today than they did in the past."
Often, a processor attachment is used to sort the concrete or brick, which is then sent to a mobile crusher. "Any site that has a large amount of concrete, we bring in mobile crushers," says O'Keefe. "At one point in time, we had what was known as the world's largest mobile crusher. It was actually 21 truckloads to move it on the site.
"We use anything from a small mobile crusher to setting up a whole mobile crusher plant on site, depending upon how big the site is," he indicates. "On most jobsites, the majority of the brick and concrete that we process is used and left on site to fill voids in basements and to grade the site to the final level. Obviously, there is a cost savings to do that on site and let it remain on site."
Brandenburg is unique in that if it needs a tool that doesn't exist, it will fabricate it internally. "We have a fabrication shop which allows us to do a lot of modifications of the machines," says McGarel. "Some attachments we make ourselves. Extension poles, which allow us to reach a lot higher, are particularly helpful with wood buildings. We will skeletize the building. The more material we can get out of the building before we start wrecking it, the better. So we have poles on our excavators that allow us to reach up 100 ft. and take the entire shell off the outside."
"We have even gone as far as to fabricate our own rail cars," O'Keefe adds. "We fabricate our own trailers and boxes that we use for transportation of the material. So we are definitely unique in the industry. We don't market anything that we fabricate as aftermarket. It is only for company usage."
A mechanized approach
Costello Dismantling typically achieves recycling rates of 90% or higher. Dan Costello, the owner, attributes this success to staying current with the latest developments in the recycling industry.
"We are very involved on a corporate level in recycling organizations. We are a member of the National Demolition Association (NDA). I serve on the board of directors of the Construction Materials Recycling Association. We are members of the Institute of Scrap and Recycling Industries. And we are members of the environmental business council in Massachusetts and New England," he points out. "We are constantly staying on the front line of what is happening in recycling. And we are always trying to find better and higher uses for materials that we are able to derive or harvest from the buildings that we dismantle."
With LEED building increasing in popularity, demolition contractors play an increasingly important role in the process. "We provide a log that we maintain for every project which shows the owner of the location where all of the material went and what the recycling percentages are," says Costello.
Every region has its own unique challenges. "In New England, we have a lot of 19th century mill buildings, primarily from the textiles and trade industry," says Costello. "They are typically brick with timber framing. We have developed a very well-honed specialty in dismantling those types of mill buildings so that we can salvage the timber framework and the structural timber. We can take a building like that apart and recover well over 90% of the structure for reuse."
Costello Dismantling places an emphasis on mechanization. "We try to minimize the number of man hours and the exposure of personnel to the jobsites," says Costello. "We intentionally avoid jobs that have very high labor concentrations."
This approach requires the right equipment. "We select our equipment very carefully so that we are able to sort and handle material mechanically," Costello states. This includes tools such as high-boom excavators with rotating grapples, which provide precise control over dismantling and dismembering buildings.
"We have really put a lot of effort into developing those techniques using mechanization vs. manpower to take the building apart," says Costello. "By being very careful and selective in our dismantlement process, we are able to carefully separate the materials from out of the building and process them on the ground as clean, separated material."
Costello Dismantling converts scrap steel into finished end products that are suitable to be shipped directly to mills. "That goes a step beyond what normally happens on a demolition job because of our involvement in the scrap industry," notes Costello. "We tend to produce a higher grade product... That produces higher revenues, too. If we are able to provide higher credits against the cost of work with the value we derive from salvage and recycling, then that makes our net number more competitive and gives us an opportunity for doing more work."
Many attachments are used to accomplish mechanized demolition, including fixed and rotating grapples, magnets and shears. In addition, the company has a LaBounty UP25 Universal Processor mounted on a new Volvo EC700 high reach excavator with a 110-ft. high boom. The UP25 has interchangeable shear, concrete cracker and pulverizer jaws. A Trevi-Benne MK 30 multi-processor with shear, concrete cracker and plate shear jaws is mounted on a Volvo EC460 with an 85-ft. high boom.
Even though the company is happy with its multi-processors, Costello is considering a change. "My philosophy had always been that by using multi-processors, you sacrificed at least one tool size in capability because of the weight of the house," he explains. "If you had a straight shear on the end of a high boom, you could go almost one size larger and have that much more capacity."
A multi-processor offers advantages in the right application. "We liked them very much. They are effective," says Costello. "But we are swinging back to the sole-purpose attachments. I think you get more capability and production. We found that we didn't change [the jaws] that often. The other side of the coin is, if you want to have the capabilities of both a steel shear and a concrete processor, you have to buy both of them. But that might not be the worst thing in the world."
Costello Dismantling recently purchased Sennebogen material handlers. "We have a Sennebogen 825 that we use primarily for scrap handling and scrap loading," says Costello. "We recently got a Sennebogen 821 and we have a Bateman grapple magnet on it. So it has a fixed contractor's grapple with a built-in magnet. We bought it primarily to service a new fleet of wood grinding equipment."
The material handlers compliment the company's fleet of Doppstadt wood grinders, which are used to take wood that is not re-saleable as structural lumber and process it into a specified fuel-grade biomass right on demolition jobsites. "We found the Sennebogen was very good in being able to pick out any free metal and take it out of the processing stream before it goes into the grinders," Costello comments.
The right tools for the job
Boston, MA-based Charter Environmental is a civil and environmental contractor that has worked closely with the U.S. Army Corp. of Engineers, traveling all over the country to perform projects at different Department of Defense installations. It also works with municipal and commercial clients.
The firm recently won an award from the NDA for a demolition project at the Prichard Stadium Sports Complex in Fort Hood, TX. The sports complex was taken down to make way for a new hospital. The project exceeded the client's recycling goals by reusing or recycling 99.56% of the debris.
To accomplish this feat, concrete was crushed on site and stockpiled for construction of the new medical center. The stadium lighting fixtures were salvaged for use in the new stadium, and the telephone poles were reused on the Fort Hood firing range. Materials such as copper and aluminum were recycled and reclaimed. Even the asphalt parking lots were ground and recycled.
"That particular project leant itself to a high amount of recycling because of the construction materials that were used to build it," says Stan Carter, federal program manager at Charter Environmental.
The company segregates concrete by traditional means with hydraulic impact hammers and pulverizer attachments. "So you are looking at a lot of initial sizing with hydraulic hammers to the point we get into a crushing application," says Carter. "When we are looking at creating a reusable product, it usually goes through a multi-stage crushing process."
Charter Environmental owns its own hydraulic hammers and pulverizer attachments. However, due to its wide geographic territory, it rents specialty equipment. "We will rent shears on an as-needed basis or we will rent machines that are fitted with the appropriate attachments," notes Carter. "We occasionally use high reach excavators, but we don't own any. We usually lease that out. We work all over the country, so we will engage whoever is local."
When the company selects its tools, a good match between an attachment and carrier is most important. "We don't have any allegiance to any particular brands," says Carter. "It has more to do with how well it matches up with a particular piece of equipment." Sometimes Brand A attachment might not run as well on a Komatsu as a Caterpillar or vice versa. "We consider how well the 'shoe' fits and then calculate the cost/benefit ratio to optimize it."
