Blu-ray Review: The Samurai Trilogy – The Criterion Collection
Criterion revisits one of its earliest DVD releases with a significant Blu-ray upgrade.
Criterion revisits one of its earliest DVD releases with a significant Blu-ray upgrade.
Classic trilogy about the Japanese folk hero Musashi Miyamoto.
Powerful Samurai film debut of the Japanese filmmaker Hideo Gosha.
As aesthetically bracing as it is politically bold.
A look at several recent releases with lots of testosterone at hand.
Le Samouraï is a wonderfully crafted film and an important piece of cinematic history.
Really good hack-and-slash gameplay as far as the genre goes, but should the genre go further?
The blue sky hangs above red ground in Samurai Champloo.
When are cinematic eviscerations and dubbing good things? When they're done grindhouse style, of course!
A pepper scarfing samurai takes on the bad guys in this lighthearted manga.

Idea Black CB2 Iron
Great set of clubs
What's not to like. These irons have given me the best performance of any irons I've owned. They are accurate with a very consistant ball flight, even on slight mis-hits. They are very forgiving when compared to other game-improvement irons. I'm very capable of poor swings and poor contact. With these irons, those errors are not as penalized as most of the other clubs I've used. They are easy to get airborne and fly farther than any irons I've owned in the past. In short, I really like them.
February 13, 2013
best irons ever
i have been playing these irons for 2 years now. they are super easy to hit and they have a lot of forgiveness.
October 16, 2012
From Tom Stites products to Adams
I grew up playing blades from the age of 14. Ben Hogan was my club of choice. During this time I would not even think of playing any other club up to my age of 51, now 53. Stites made and still makes a product 2nd to none with Nike. I hit all the Nike clubs at Golfsmith knowing that Stites was the club maker for Hogan for many years.When I picked up the Adams CB2 and hit them, it was if you hit a homerun and that feeling you get when the ball leaves the bat. I was sold!!!! I did hit the MB2, CB1, A12 and MB3. The CB2 was not in stock at most Golfsmith's the time ( Being the CB2 is a 2010 model and is now 2012) I purchased the set, in which I found them in San Fransisco. Had them sent to Golfsmith in The Woodlands, purchased them and my handicap has gone from a 4 to a consistant 1.7.........What a nice product!!!!!!!

Easy to hit & Forgiving...lower Handicap, HERE I COME!
As a long-time Mizuno iron player, I was reluctant to change, but my inconsistent play/scoring & marginal misses were costing me a couple strokes per round, I went from a 5HC to a 7HC. I tried every iron out there & nothing compared to the soft feel of my Mizuno MP32's, until I hit my club pro's CB-1 irons. Did research & found the CB2 to be more forgiving. I was a little concerned about the X-Stiff shafts, but these KBS shafts are awesome & EASY to hit. Gained 5 yards/club & much higher ball flight. My mis-hits are still 90% of distance & 5 yds off line. Played my first round with them in Club Championship & shot 79...not bad for never hitting them before.
July 16, 2012
A hidden gem....
I purchases these clubs 3 months ago to replace my Callaway X-16 irons. I was planning on going with one of the bigger names, Titleist, Ping, or Taylormade. I tried these irons at Golf Galaxy and they exceeded the performance of the "bigger" names. Everything is consistent with these irons, flight, shot shape, feel, even my score! I am shooting lower scores on a consistent basis and gain 10 to 15 yards from my previous set.
Advice: don't fall into the stigma of just buying a club for its name or their guarantee of more distance. Go with feel and consistancy because these clubs will give you that distance as a bonus, but they perform and feel incredible! I will play these irons for years to come.
June 4, 2012
These replaced my blades, mishits are not the penal. feel is good and you can work the ball with ease. KBS shafts are nice. Great feel and confidence. Highly recommended. These are alos about 5 yards longer then my previous set
June 1, 2012
No compromises
I played Titleist DCI black irons for 15 years and loved the simple look and great "feel" the offered. It was time for something new so I tried everything new last spring and bought Ping i15's. Good club, but ended up not liking them at all. Too much technology/design/game improvement. Looked at everything again this spring and nothing felt right. Read reviews on the CB2 and bought a set sight unsean online. They arrived earlier this week and I am amazed. Looks, feel, ease of use everything I loved about my DCI's. These clubs are superior in every aspect. HIGHLY recommended.

Great set of irons
Excellent set for the Mid handicap player looking to get close to a players Iron.. I hope they do not change much in the CB3

people really need to stop playing nostradamus and stop the predictions. It only makes yall feel a bit silly at the end of the day when things turn the other way around. When Rift first entered Beta, WoW was about to die. When Swtor started its campaign, the same thing happened, WoW was going to fall flat on its face. At the end of the day.... BANG!!! WoW killed 2 birds in one shot.... How do you guys know the future of PS2, DUST514, Firefall, etc? ... seriously, sharing ideas and opinions with the community is one thing very different than predicting the "unavoidable demise" of certain mmos by the hands of other mmo when none have even been released.

I'm going to play Firefall and Dust514. PS2 isn't even on my radar. Not interested in it. |
TKOReaper, love ya, me to, always, and loved PS. I will say this however, I just learned AMS'es will still be in the game, but in a galexy, anyone go read my post here about the absolute sadness as this is what I remembered was great, and will never be again. Let alone Gal pilots not being able to drop their birds into people/tanks/watch failling, or join the fight, because now u have to park it as a super big AMS *sad face* As for anyone talking about Firefall, I did not see if anyone corrected all the posts, but I just want to chime in. Red5 is super f***ing awsome, and OPEN WORLD PVP has been planned from day one. Watch some of their Q&A's and Dev feedback. Best beta experince of my life, they are so well organized and respond to the community as everyone votes things in. They go with their community, not against it. And the open world looks freakin amazing, not like anything i've ever seen. Go troll the forums and get a key, they are bumping in alot of new testers. Sure I have been waiting for a freaking game you had to AIM and not faceroll keyboards, that does not follow an 8 year old gaming model, that is an MMO. I found this in Plantside, once my previous FPS/Close 3rd person Cyberpunk MMORPG Neocorn sadly fizzled due to understaffing, but was the best freaking mmo ever and well free now through a glitch, I have always wanted games like this for like 8 freaking years. But all my eggs are in Firefall however, I will certainly wait to hear about this so sad AMS situation, and mini-sancturary, wtf is that anyways. Pfft, staging ftw, not. PS. As for Dust, pfft, as a huge EVE Online fan I will not play ps3 mmo, I understand they are doing it so people do not fight between EVE Online, or DUST514, because you cant on seperate platforms, but man, that sucks for all of us. and ya Rojo, ppl ruin games before they even have a chance. Dammit, and here I am doing it...anways |

I want to play a fps against npc's and against people as well,Sorry that I am not a "big boy" like you are.I am actually playing one of the said games you decided to diss with your elitist "my game is going to be better than your game attitude" and I find it quite enjoyable. |
Originally posted by Xzen Then why are you here? To talk about dust? Its gotta be on your radar a tad? Anyways i would love to play dust and would prob sub/pay for it ,but i dont do consoles so.....(I used my ps2 like 5 times) Firefall looks like a cartoon and im not big on that either.....Im sure it will do fine though some people like that style i just dont. Planetside though seems like a great fit for me, and I dont really think they are that similar to worry about each other. Look how many mmorpgs are almost exactly the same. I really hope they all do well for more mmofps come to the market! Own, Mine, Defend, Attack, 24/7 |
Errr.. I didn't read much of this thread - But I'm assuming you think everyone falls within the same category Because personally I'll be playing Both PS 2 and Firefall, and i may even get Dust514 because Its coming out on the VITA .. Not to mention - This is coming from someone who really dislikes the FPS Genre. The only one I'm not sure about is Dust, because from what I've heard Its just a lobby based shooter with some behind the scenes management through E.V.E - But thats just because I'm uninformed. |
Huge Planetside fan here. Planetside2 and End of Nations are the only two games I have my eye on for the forseeable future. Every other MMO just looks like the same ole re-hashed garbage to me. Dust shot themselves in the foot by going console only. I will never, ever understand the logic behind linking an exclusively computer game to an exclusively console game. Maybe I'm missing something. ...and Firefall, well, people who enjoy the epicness of the Planetside experience might try Firefall for laughs, but they will call PS2 their home. The only thing that concerns me about PS2 is is how Sony handles the "free" to play thing. If it's something like those who pay the most get the best equipment, then I'll pass. As much as I love Planetside...I'll pass. |
Originally posted by tkoreaper Dude, this post is awesome. I honestly couldn't tell if you were joking or not until I read the rest of the thread. PLanetSide 2 looks pretty good and all.. but damn. It's like a preemptive defense against some argument that may or may not happen. And really, there's no need to slam other games that are arguably different. I'm sure I'll try out PS2 and Firefall. Perhaps ease up a bit; this is borderline GW2 shit. Seriously head over to that forum and try to say something negative... see if you make it out alve. lol |
Originally posted by Phry The main difference between Dust 514 and Planetside 2 are CCP and SOE. A few years after their release, Dust 514 will be available on PC/Mac and CCP will still be updating it for a long, long time. SOE on the other hand will put ps2 on maintenance mode while working on planetside 3. |
Originally posted by Greenzor PS2 will be f2p SOE will be drawing revenue from it for a very long time. Maintence mode is something i find funny you want SOE to pump money into PS1 when they cant get the investment back ? Or to any other game they put in maintence mode ? They keep the games up for the FANS yet get slammed for doing so. |
Hey OP, I should think you or a lot of people would be surprise how good Firefall is. I predict you would play PS2 and Firefall too. I would be playing on and off PS2, Firefall, GW2 and Archeage. Should I be buying xp potions? Pardon my English as it is not my 1st language :) |
We'll have to wait and see. I didn't play PS1 but PS2 is definately on my radar. I will say straight up though that I'm not overly confident in Sony...especialy in terms of hacking and account security. I'm not writing them off automaticaly...but pretty much anything with a Sony name attached to it is on a "Prove it to me, don't tell me about it" basis these days. |
Originally posted by Zeemer Yes, all of three are promising. Firefall looks very interesting, although it would have been better for me with Open PvP; Dust entices mainly through the integration with EVE and the future possibilities, but I'm going to play it only if it comes out on PC. PlanetSide 2 looks great, if the alpha trailers is any indication. Anyway, MMOFPS subgenre is going to boom this year.

Agreed OP. Neither of those games will offer what PS2 does. Or even PS1 for that matter. Firefall has the PvE focus and small PvP matches that Planetside doesn't even mess with. Not to say those are bad things, but they make the game very different. PS has no PvE or instanced PvP. Totally different beast for an MMOFPS. Dust is a console shooter. Nuff said IMO. Not sure how big the matches are, but they are just that. Matches. Theres persistence there, and I think it will be "closer" to Planetside than Firefall, but again, a totally different beast. I don't even know if it really is an MMO at all (it doesn't seem like it). Planetside will offer something that no other FPS, MMO, or MMOFPS will be offering at the time. Hell, Planetside 1 still offers a gameplay style that no other FPS can offer. Shadow's Hand Guild The Secret World - Dragons Planetside 2 - Terran Republic Tera - Dragonfall Server |
Originally posted by xmenty I don't think that anyone is seriously saying Firefall is going to be a bad game. The thing is, it is nothing like Planetside. They are VERY different games. I'm excited for Firefall, but I can say that if PS2 were to launch before it, it wouldn't even be on my radar. Not because it's a bad game, but because the gameplay style I want (and have wanted since I stopped playing Planetside) is Planetside 2. There are many games that I have tried since Planetside with the hopes of getting that feeling back, and none have lived up to the standard set by PS. Many devs have claimed to have made "MMOFPS" games since then, but none have really captured what I believe the genre should be about. They are mostly arena shooters with instanced matches, like Global Agenda, Firefall, etc that also focus on PvE content. Shadow's Hand Guild The Secret World - Dragons Planetside 2 - Terran Republic Tera - Dragonfall Server |
Everyone knows Dust514 is going to fail no matter how good it is, because it's console only when Eve is a PC game. A pretty stupid move by CCP really. Anyone who wants to play an MMOFPS is going to pick Planetside 2 because it's the only real option. |
So Firefall NDA dropped, WHO STILL THINKS ITS ITS IN COMPETITION WITH PS2?!?!...LAWL. SKYeXile |
Originally posted by skyexile Yep. I pretty much already knew this, but now it's plain as day to see. Firefall is an attempt to take traditional MMORPGs and add FPS combat to it. Quests, PvE, instanced PvP, etc. It is an MMOFPS in the sense that MMORPG + FPS combat = MMOFPS. Personally, my definition of MMOFPS = Planetside. Firefall is not even the same kind of game at all. TF2 style PvP is great and all, but it is apples and oranges when compared to Planetside. Shadow's Hand Guild The Secret World - Dragons Planetside 2 - Terran Republic Tera - Dragonfall Server |
Ok, just got into Firefall beta a week or so ago.
It's a fun game. It's not even close to what I expect out of Planetside. If you think these games are competing, think again. Shadow's Hand Guild The Secret World - Dragons Planetside 2 - Terran Republic Tera - Dragonfall Server |

[JURIST] The US Supreme Court [official website; JURIST news archive] handed down decisions in five cases Wednesday, including Rowe v. New Hampshire Motor Transport Association [LII case backgrounder; JURIST report], where the Court held that federal law preempts two provisions of a Maine tobacco transport law requiring special inspection of incoming tobacco packages to prevent purchases from unlicensed retailers who might sell to minors. The Court affirmed the First Circuit's decision [text] in the case, and ruled that the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act of 1994 (FAAAA) [text], which limits state regulation of interstate air and motor carriers, preempts the two Maine law provisions. Read the Court's opinion [text] per Justice Breyer, along with a concurrence [text] from Justice Ginsburg and a second concurrence [text] from Justice Scalia. AP has more. In Preston v. Ferrer [LII case backgrounder] the Court ruled that the Federal Arbitration Act [text] preempts a state statute which requires administrative review before a contract dispute can proceed to arbitration. The Court reversed the California Court of Appeals' decision in the case, and held that "when parties agree to arbitrate all questions arising under a contract, state laws lodging primary jurisdiction in another forum, whether judicial or administrative, are superseded by the FAA." Read the Court's opinion [text] per Justice Ginsburg, along with a dissent [text] from Justice Thomas. AP has more.In a third preemption case, the Court held in Riegel v. Medtronic [LII case backgrounder] that the preemption clause found in the federal Medical Device Amendments of 1976 prevents a patient whose catheter ruptured during surgery from suing the manufacturer based on state common law claims. Charles Riegel filed a lawsuit against Medtronic on multiple claims based on New York common law, but the Supreme Court affirmed the Second Circuit's decision [PDF text] that the MDA preempts claims under state law. Read the Court's opinion [text] per Justice Scalia, along with a concurrence [text] from Justice Stevens and a dissent [text] from Justice Ginsburg. AP has more.In LaRue v. DeWolff, Boberg & Associates [LII case backgrounder; JURIST report] the Court held that the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) [text; US DOL backgrounder] allows an employee to sue for losses incurred when administrators of his retirement plan ignore his instructions on how to invest his retirement money:
We therefore hold that although §502(a)(2) does not provide a remedy for individual injuries distinct from plan injuries, that provision does authorize recovery for fiduciary breaches that impair the value of plan assets in a participant's individual account.
New constitutional rules announced by this Court that place certain kinds of primary individual conduct beyond the power of the States to proscribe, as well as "watershed" rules of criminal procedure, must be applied in all future trials, all cases pending on direct review, and all federal habeas corpus proceedings. All other new rules of criminal procedure must be applied in future trials and in cases pending on direct review, but may not provide the basis for a federal collateral attack on a state-court conviction. This is the substance of the "Teague rule" described by Justice O'Connor in her plurality opinion in Teague v. Lane, 489 U. S. 288 (1989). The question in this case is whether Teague constrains the authority of state courts to give broader effect to new rules of criminal procedure than is required by that opinion. We have never suggested that it does, and now hold that it does not.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools 5th-grade arts field trips return
Arts & Science Council funds field trips through partnership between NCDT, opera, symphony
Posted: Thursday, March 21st
Press Contact: Brandon Stanley
After losing funding for field trips to arts performances three years ago, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools partnered with the Arts & Science Council to not only reinstate them but provide a more complete experience.
In seven waves this week, more than 11,000 fifth-graders will attend Endless Possibilities, an event with the Charlotte Symphony, Opera Carolina and North Carolina Dance Theatre. The program features music and dance chosen to stimulate 10- and 11-year-olds and is accompanied by curriculum addressing this performance.
More than 51,000 students will participate in field trips, including third-graders and middle schoolers, at a cost of $338,000, mostly funded by ASC. Wells Fargo, Ulysses Festival, UNC Charlotte and CMS also contributed for the fifth-grade trips.
When the schools and ASC formed a partnership to bring field trips back, they wanted students to get more from the experience than a memory of whatever the arts groups chose to present usually something from their current season. The partnership outlined what artistic material was appropriate for fifth-graders and reached out to the opera, symphony and dance company.
What they came up with was Bachs Toccata and Fugue arranged with a Latin beat, accompanying four couples dancing a salsa; Mozarts The Magic Flute, the Queen of the Night aria and the duet between Papageno and Papagena; the first movement from Beethovens Fifth Symphony, played with a rock, Latin and hip-hop beat; and in dance, Alonzo Kings Chants; Warehouse Medicine, a piece by Mason Bates for DJ and orchestra; and the overture to Bernsteins Candide.
Students learn about the composers, musicians, choreographers and dancers before they see the show. On Tuesday, their familiarity and enthusiasm was evident as they joined Charlotte Symphony Guest Conductor Jacomo Rafael Bairos in chanting Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven.
CMS teachers contributed to a wiki space with lesson plans, videos and activities. Orchestral seating charts, YouTube videos and ideas about how to connect literacy, math, technology and science to this performance populate the site. With this approach, teachers are allowed more freedom in choosing what to show their students.
In class, I used a lot of video clips so that kids could actually hear and see The Magic Flute and orchestral pieces, said Kristen Johnson, a music teacher at Irwin Academic Center. I could see the kids during the performance saying, Wait! Weve heard that! This reinforces what weve been learning for years and pulls it all together.
Irwin students Quinten Weathers, 10, and Samantha Flynn, 11, recognized the Beethoven and Mozart works.
Our music teacher does a composer of the month, Samantha said. We saw The Magic Flute scene where Papageno and Papagena met. She showed us that, so I recognized it today.
My favorite part, said Quinten, was when they turned the Beethoven music into a hip-hop version, because I actually have a love for hip-hop.
The lessons students are meant to learn is how the arts function in their lives and how they can be involved even if they dont see themselves on stage.
New experiences
Barbara Ann Temple, ASC education vice president was an English teacher before she was asked to oversee the partnership. She saw skills develop in all her students who were involved in the arts.
Whether they were painters, photographers or bongo players, when they were artists, their creative thinking skills and problem-solving skills were at a different level across the board, she said. Artists see things differently; they approached learning differently. And thats why were on a mission. In the business and service industries, the military, or whatever, people want creative thinkers. Providing our students with as many authentic, arts-based or arts-integrative opportunities is always going to increase the likelihood that those skills will be developed.
Even within the arts, many more jobs exist than those that appear on stage. One of the partnerships goals is to expose their students to the behind-the-scenes possibilities, a lesson that would go untaught without the curriculum surrounding the performance.
Im hoping that some of the kids could see themselves up on stage dancing, playing an instrument, singing or even working in lighting or costuming, said Mark Propst, CMS performing arts specialist.
This collaboration provided experiences for the arts organizations, too. Many educational programs travel to schools and perform wherever there is an abandoned piano. With the students coming to Belk Theater, artists are able to give them a more conventional experience.
This concert format requires more traditional choices, but I think thats good, said Alexandra Engle, the epic Queen of the Night in Opera Carolinas educational program, Opera Express. Fifth-graders can do a little more in a concert setting toward appreciating the traditional format. Its good for them to see the main stage; they get an idea of what would happen if they came to a full production.
Lessons continue in school
The effort to make this traditional yet innovative program happen was immense. Aside from the 18 months of planning, the partnership formation, Wells Fargos donation, the arts organizations performing at cost (rather than charging $4 per student), 40 school buses were required to transport 1,700 people to each of the seven performances.
The curriculum continues after the performances with journal activities. Students will be able to design their own costumes for Papageno or write a tweet about the event. The partnership expects benefits to continually reveal themselves for years to come.
Judging by the number of kids perched on the edge of their seats mimicking Bairos baton pattern with their hands, Charlotte can look forward to a flood of conductors.

Devildriver is into to their fourth album and if this is the first cd your going to buy from them i due feel bad for you! You will no doubt love this cd cause this band is unrelentless they do not know how to ease up which is why you need to back track as well and make sure to pick up the others Last Kind Words is quite possiably the most infecteous metal cd i have ever bought people i know who care nothing of metal our completely overwhelmed by this cd. before that you got The Fury of Our Maker's Hand which was techinally their progressive album from the creative and devastatingly amazing selftitled every album moved me in a different way and every one was equally as brutal! Their live show renforces this statement, Americas Best Metal Band period!
DevilDriver Biography - DevilDriver Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
- Package Quantity: (1) Piece
- Type: No-Hub Torque Wrench
Special Edition includes 4 bonus tracks including a cover of Iron Maiden's 'Wasted Years' and a behind the scenes DVD with over a half hour of footage. Pray For Villains, DevilDriver's gut-punching new album, is clearly the culmination of endless hard work and unconquerable self-belief. Having honed their powerful sound over the course of their three previous albums and countless live dates (including their legendary 2007 Download appearance where the band's ferocious performance triggered what many to believe to be the largest circle pit in history) the band is now operating at a higher level than ever before.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Like Metal? Don't own this? For shame. Buy this thing – it's absolutely worth every cent. These guys ARE metal. It's not some made up cartoon show band, this is real music by some dudes that have seriously figured things out. These guys have written an album that melt you down into a pool of nothing, and by God you will enjoy it if you are a metal fan.
I will state at the beginning of this album review that I am a BIG Devildriver fan (ergo long review). The reason this band has earned my respect is they have improved with each release. They started out with a likable self-titled debut, then blew that out of the water with The Fury of Our Maker's Hand, then proceeded to blow that out of the water with The Last Kind Words. So ever since I heard about Pray for Villains in early '09 I was painfully waiting for it to come out.
Before its release the reviews I read labeled Villains as a "typical Devildriver release," which had me worried that they were just going to try just make The Last Kind Words II. Thankfully those people weren't paying attention. Instead of trying to retread on their old sound they experiment and the results are great. The big difference between this and their previous albums is a heavy melodeath influence, while still retaining their groove metal roots (is melogroove a genre?). There are a lot more melodic guitar work, and even the choruses have a melody to the screaming, which beckons you to scream along with them.
This album has been getting the response that they have become commercialistic. I say that this album is accessible, the difference being that I say accessible as in this album is catchy and is easy to use to introduce someone to DD. Commercialistic, would them making throwing Nickleback ballads all over their album. The only track that one could say sounds musically radio-ready is "Back with a Vengeance." Well, it would be radio-friendly if Dez wasn't growling on it like he's going to jump out of the speakers and strangle you.
Speaking of Dez's vocals, he even experiments with that on this album. He adopts a guttural throaty "singing" voice on some tracks that sounds like Lemmy Kilmister and Rob Zombie had a love child. It sounds so different than what he's done before, the first time I heard it I thought one of the other band members was doing additional vocals. It's just one of the many curveballs thrown on this album.
Here is how the tracks breakdown (since I can't help myself):
"Pray for Villains" – A "typical" DD track, but it's still fast, brutal and will rip your face off. Perfect for moshing and headbanging!
"Pure Sincerity" – Surprising 2nd track because it starts and stays heavy (rather than throwing in another fast track) till the 3:10 mark when it goes off.
"Echoes of the Grave" – Sounds like something off of The Fury of Our Maker's Hand, but is none the less brutal.
"I've Been Sober" – Awesome epic guitar opening, leading to hard versus and then a chorus that can only be described as groovy. Excellent drumming, excellent guitars, starts brutal, ends melodic, one of the best tracks they've put out.
"Resurrection Blvd." – Excellent guitar sweep through the track, one of the highlights of this album.
"Forgiveness is a Six Gun" – The mid-paced heavy redheaded stepchild of this album. Some love it, some think it's stupid. It's not my favorite track of theirs…but I still have no problem screaming along with it when I listen to it.
"Waiting for November" – A fast catchy track, but I feel it gets a little overlooked (by me at least) because of being wedged between "Six Gun" and "Cards."
"It's in the Cards" – A personal favorite of mine. I love it when DD does slower tracks (like "Monsters of the Deep" on LKW) because it's so hard to do them well, and this track is the slowest, but it still feels like the band is stomping on your chest. Love it!
"Another Night in London" – This really reminds me of something off of their debut, but if it doesn't crawl in your brain and make you want to mosh, you have more will power than me.
"Bitter Pill," "Teach Me to Whisper," & "I See Belief" – brutal, brutaler, brutalest? It would be impossible for me to review these three tracks separately without being redundant because I couldn't pick a favorite of those 3 if you held a gun to my head.
"Self-Affliction" -Why it's a b-side I have no idea, maybe because it's not as unique as the other tracks, or because it sounds like a track to close the album with and "I See Belief" was a better choice.
"Dust Be the Destiny" – An addictive track with a heavy metal vibe to it. Another one I question why it's a b-side.
"Damning the Heavens" – I already had this track on LKW, but it's a kick-ass short track.
"Wasted Years" – A cool Iron Maiden cover, although old-school heavy metal with growls will always be kinda funny to me.The DVD that comes with this package is 35 minute "making-of" footage, which showcases that they only had weeks to come up with this album, which makes the album that much more impressive. It's probably something you'll only watch once, and I think it would have been better if some of their music videos and live footage was included.
Instead of trying to surpass The Last Kind Words (which probably been a disaster) Devildriver use Pray for Villains to expand and experiment with their sound, and come up with an album of 17 tracks in which all of them sound unique and none of them sound out of place, or lacking effort. It's one of the many reasons this band is one of the best metal acts out there.
Bottom line, this baby rips! Every album they have upped their game. Musically,technically , overall songwriting… Where a lot of bands in their genre just stay the same, trying not to improve on these things and pretty much put out the same record… Villains is Heavy as hell, If for whatever reason you dont like this band give this a spin just for the drumming alone. J. Boeklin is a MONSTER!
This album is so good that I uncontrollably started throwing down the most m/ windmills I have ever thrown to this day. Don't buy this album if you don't want to break everything in your proximity, because there is no way to not go completely APE! The drums will pound you relentlessly causing involuntary release of your bowels! Believe it, it happened to me!
Tweaked neck, broken keyboard (smashed my face on it), and soiled pants….BUY THIS F-ING ALBUM RIGHT NOW!

These are all just my preferences so take them as you will I think the best place to stay is called the Holiday Inn Battlefield. I say that because it's relatively reasonable on price and it's almost right in the middle of the historic part of the town, near the shopping district, near the Jennie Wade house, its right near a tour center, there is lots of parking, and it puts you right on the road to that takes you to the new Visitor's Center it that interests you as well. In terms of the actual battlefield, you'll have to drive a bit in either direction, but the battlefield is so massive you'll have to do that anyways. Additionally a portion of the battlefield (East Cemetery Hill) and the national Cemetery are less then a five minute walk a way. The only down side to this place is that since it's a chain it's not really themed or anything like the Doubleday Inn....but it's still good. Another good place...the Doubleday Inn. A bit more expensive and hard to get reservations for, but it's a bed and breakfast right on the battlefield where the first day's action occurred. But its also outside of the town a little ways so there aren't any convenient places to walk too for food or shopping. The best time to go is on a Monday or Tuesday if you can go on one of those days. Weekends can get a bit crowded. The later in the month you go, usually the cooler it gets. (I say usually--can sometimes still stay really hot in September and early October.) If there are any other specifics you like to know keep the questions rolling. I'm sure there are a bunch of us here that can give a lot of exciting information. If you are on Instant Messenger my screen name is cbalien14 if you'd like to talk to someone in real time. ____________________ "War does not determine who is right-only who is left." ~Anon http://hauntedhousewriter.blogspot.com/ |

Secret Agent Unveiled: Tricia Lawrence
Confetti and hearty thanks to our lovely Secret Agent, Tricia Lawrence of Erin Murphy Literary Agency.
Tricia's Bio:
Tricia is the "Pacific Northwest branch" of EMLA--born and raised in Oregon, and now lives in Seattle. After 16 years of working as a developmental and production-based copyeditor (from kids book to college textbooks, but mostly college textbooks), she joined the EMLA team in March 2011 as a social media strategist hoping to learn from Erin and Joan about agenting. As associate agent, Tricia represents middle grade and young adult fiction and nonfiction. She's looking for strong world-building, wounded narrators, and stories that grab a reader and won't let go.
What Tricia's looking for right now:
"I'm also beginning to look for younger books: picture books, early readers, chapter books as well as middle grade and young adult. I love all genres, but find that a story with a mystery is what I'm most drawn to. I love, love, love finding something new, whether it is a character that makes me laugh out loud to a character that continues to persevere in spite of everything being thrown at him/her. I would love to find books that are extremely high-concept, but that have an amazing main character. It really all comes down to character, doesn't it?
I like historical, scifi, spec fiction, fantasy, paranormal (although the paranormal must be really original), contemporary, mystery/thriller, and adventure. I'm particularly drawn to books that focus on big educational transitions in a kid's life (what it feels like to be leaving high school, that YA sweet spot or learning to navigate middle school coming from elementary school or learning to deal with school at all for younger readers). I must be reliving my own childhood years in school over and over again! I am also very interested in nonfiction for teens, on subjects covering babysitting to how to prepare for college in a fresh, original spin."
Hooray! Winners forthcoming.

Serves eight.
A riff on the cabbage slaw traditionally served with tonkatsu, this salad goes the extra flavor mile with lots of fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and a tangy Thai-inspired dressing.
In a large bowl, combine the mesclun, lettuce, cabbage, basil, mint, cilantro, scallions, tomatoes, onion, and bell pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk the lime juice, honey, fish sauce, garlic, and chile, if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Just before serving, toss the salad mixture with just enough of the dressing to coat the salad lightly—you may not need all of the dressing.
You can combine, cover, and refrigerate the salad ingredients up to 6 hours ahead. The dressing can be made up to 1 day ahead.

by mgssts63, 12/25/2009This salad is as advertised - fresh herbs! Made this for Xmas dinner and some people hated it, some said strong and pungent and some others ate it but didn't rave. It has a very strong flavor and if you like eating "raw" herbs, this is for you!
by legnor, 7/29/2009This salad was phenomenal! So fresh, so delicious - I will definitely make it again.

Dancing With the Stars Winner J.R. Martinez Speaks on a Dream Come True
by Free Britney at .J.R. Martinez and Karina Smirnoff took home the title on last night's Dancing With the Stars season finale, besting Rob Kardashian and Cheryl Burke in a nail-biter.
Ricki Lake and Derek Hough came in third after what was a very evenly matched final round. In the end, though, the fan favorite and top dancer took the crown.
"I joked about gluing it on the hood of my car and just driving around L.A.," J.R. said of the Mirror Ball trophy. "Or be like rappers, make a chain out of it and just wear it around! I'm going to cherish this thing every single day!"
Mirror Ball jokes aside, J.R. took a moment to thank his fans, saying, "We just want to thank everyone who voted for us for 10 weeks and believed in us week in and week out! I had no idea what it would feel like and it feels amazing."
Though she says all the finalists were "a team of friends who compete and enjoy the process," Karina admits it was nice to win the competition - her first in 10 seasons.
"To come out on top at the end and to hold [the trophy], it's so beautiful."
J.R., the 28-year-old Iraq War veteran, motivational speaker and soap opera star, partly credits his fellow competitors Rob and Ricki for his big victory.
"Both of them did so well and were so great. It was great that we all progressed because they actually pushed us to be better," said the true class act.
Watch the moment of truth below ...

Tajan gilbert, If you think the show is so bad, then why are you watching it? Is you're TV so old it doesn't have a button that you can change the channel, or turn it off? I think maybe you should turn off you're TV,get down on your knees, and PRAY TO GOD.Sounds like you have a lot more problems, than worrying about a TV show.I'LL SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR YOU TONIGHT. YOU REALLY NEED IT GIRL!!!!
Congratulations to JR for winning. JR I think you were "GREAT"!!!!
Yes, I think J.R deserved to win. I also think Rob and Ricki both were phenomenal dancers and could have won as well. Just b/c JR overcame a horrendous ordeal doesn't mean he doesn't deserve to win. He too, was an exceptional dancer and had his GREAT dancing moments, as did Rob and Ricki. I watched the entire show and he did not play the sympathy card for votes. He worked equally as hard as the rest of his competitors and accepted the judges' feedback everytime. I think he was a role model to lots of people and showed them that despite obstacles in your life you should not hold back from getting out there. Congratulations to him! The final three all deserved it! He happened to be the one who won and he should be proud.

A Nashville video game thief called ahead to make sure his loot would be ready and waiting when he arrived, police said.
Surveillance video showed the man arrive Wednesday morning about 10 a.m. to a Gamestop store in Madison in a Nissan Versa. The car circled the parking lot for more than an hour before the driver eventually worked his way close.
Then, police said, he did something odd. He called the store and told the clerk he needed games and a system for a gift but was on his way to work, so would need the order ready to pick up when he arrived.
Once the crook walks inside, he is seen on security video pulling a black semi-automatic handgun on the clerk before grabbing a bag full of his pre-ordered goodies, including an Xbox 1 and $200 worth of kid-friendly games to go with it, plus about $600 from the cash register.
The suspect then forced the clerk onto the ground before running out.
Police describe the suspect as a black male, about 20 to 30 years old, approximately 5'10" or 5'11" and 200 to 250 pounds. He was wearing all blue, including a blue mask, with white gloves and brown boots. He also appeared to be unshaven under the mask.
If you know anything about this case, call Crime Stoppers at 74-CRIME.

About this Product
Product Information:About The Toshiba 8A19/27F-UP LED Light Bulb, A19 E26, 120V, 8.4W (40W Equivalent) - Dimmable - 2700K - 450 LumensThe Toshiba 8A19/27F-UP LED Light Bulb is a great LED light bulb that is a direct replacement for your standard incandescent light bulbs. This great LED light bulb operates on just 8.4 watts but is equivalent to a 40 watt incandescent light bulb. This amazing LED light bulb uses 79% less energy than incandescent light bulbs. Toshiba LED light bulbs are also backed by a 5 year warrant against lumen output decreasing. With other manufacturers in the LED lighting industry the lumen output is not guaranteed for any period of time they only state initial lumen output rating. With Toshiba you get a guarantee that the lumen output will decrease over a period of 5 years. Toshiba LED light bulbs also feature the Phillips Chip Set that provides unmatched reliability. One of the major challenges with LED lighting for homes was creating a color that was ideal for lighting a home. Initial LED lamps produced a harsh bright white light that was not comfortable for home lighting. This Toshiba LED light bulb has a color temperature of 2700K giving it a color of cool white. A major difference between Toshiba to other manufacturers is that Toshiba's LED light bulbs are dimmable. The dimmers that are suggested for use with this LED light bulb are: Lutron Diva DV-600P, Lutron Diva DVCL-153P, Lutron Diva DVELV-300P, Lutron NovaT NTLV-600, Lutron NovaT NTELV-600, Lutron Skylark SLV-600P, Lutron Skylark SELV-300P, and Wattstopper DCD267. We here at Westside Wholesale only offer the best products on the market and up until now have been hesitant to offer LED light bulbs, but with the Toshiba LED light bulb we can confidently say that this is the best LED light bulb on the market today. Switch to Toshiba LED light bulbs today and you will not be disappointed. Additional Information: | |
Features: • Direct replacement for 40W incandescent lamps | Specifications: • 450 Series |

I'm a new poster.
I wish to applaud the Flight Archive, it is an excellent resource. The effort that went into it must have been enormous. I have already read many Flight magazine articles with interest. I used to subscribe to the magazine for a number of years in the 1960's. Thank you for trips down memory lane.
Out of interest I noticed that pages 78 & 79 from the 23 May 1963 Air Cushion Vehicles supplement seem to be missing (I believe they would be expected to be between 1148.PDF and 1149.PDF).

Hibiki and Tomoe Kazema are two sisters attending an ordinary high school, but unbeknown to their teachers and fellow students, they are members of a hidden group of ninjas. Their mission is to use their special powers to exterminate the akuma that are plaguing the world. This is made difficult by the fact that their enemies can possess corrupted humans who eventually turn into new akuma.
Despite being faced with an ever growing army, the two are determined to prevail as "The two flowers that will slice through the darkness." The only question that remains is will they succeed against such overwhelming odds?

Thursday TIME: 7:00 pm to
The Groton Public Schools and Groton Public Library are pleased to announce a book discussion series for parents and community members featuring titles suggested by Groton educators. Whether it's teaching with "poverty in mind," developing a deeper understanding of the "boy adrift" or the "Cinderella girl," or having the courageous conversation about why our "black kids sit together in the cafeteria," these books will foster the productive exchanges that will help guide our choices as a school system and cultivate understanding.
The series begins at the Groton Public Library on Thursday, October 4 at 7 p.m. with Schools Cannot Do It Alone by Jamie Vollmer. Vollmer's book addresses threats to public education and describes a no cost plan that every district can use to secure the support it needs to unfold the full potential of every child. The discussion will be led by Sean McKenna, Interim Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction.
A limited number of copies are available to be checked out at the Library. Attendees with a valid library card will also have the opportunity to borrow a Kindle loaded with the title. The Kindles were purchased with a grant from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut.
For more information, contact the Groton Public Library at 860-441-6750.

O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see thee lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee to-night. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth! And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth. How silently, how silently, The wondrous gift is given! So God imparts to human hearts The blessings of his heaven. No ear may hear his coming, But in this world of sin, Where meek souls will receive him, still The dear Christ enters in. Where children pure and happy Pray to the blessed Child, Where misery cries out to thee, Son of the mother mild; Where charity stands watching And faith holds wide the door, The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, And Christmas comes once more. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day. We hear the Christmas angels The great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel! Submitted By: Lori S
