Release Date: 2002 | Tracklist
Good review overall, pos. Some suggestions: again from Cannibal Corpse after Rob left after his departure from Cannibal Corpse The bass is audible but ultimately extremely standard The bass is audible yet it feels extremely standard the songs are often very much "by the numbers" the songs pretty much go "by the numbers"Digging: Mekong Delta - Kaleidoscope
Digging: Mekong Delta - Kaleidoscope
Album Rating: 3.0Changes made.
With the exception of the first two albums, the output of this band is hyped in the Greek metal press and it feels strange to see the same records being somewhat "underrated" in Sputnik. However, I tend to believe your review and Sputnik ratings more, as I have listened scarce tracks from all MC albums and, for the most part, they indeed feel standard.
Album Rating: 3.0I notice a lot of surprisingly positive reviews for some of their albums that shock me; I saw some very positive reviews for Doomsday X and that's an awful, shockingly dull album, easily their worst, while Eternal was rated much more weakly. Speaking of which, their debut is actually voted worse than Eternal, which shocks me since Eternal is merely average while The Ten Commandments is a strong album. As for this album, All That Remains is a cool song that's worth checking out regardless, but the rest of the album is comparative "eh".
I really agree with pretty much everything you stated in this review so pos'd. Album cover is dope though.
Album Rating: 3.0Yeah the cover is cool. Envenomed had better artwork though.
Album Rating: 3.0You've gotta try Retribution man
I've heard all of the albums up until this one and they are all okay to excellent. I will check this out eventually.Digging: Showbiz and A.G. - Goodfellas
Digging: Showbiz and A.G. - Goodfellas
I remember absolutely loving some tracks from this album, including the title track, The Will To Kill has some fucking killer riffs. Only beef I got is with the vocals, don't like the yelling type vocals.
Surprisingly low rating on this, contains some beast songs esp the title track.
Album Rating: 3.0ya dude!!!!!!!Digging: Lycia - The Burning Circle and Then Dust
Digging: Lycia - The Burning Circle and Then Dust
Album Rating: 3.0Title track is pretty good but All That Remains is the best track here.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. - Virginia regulators on Tuesday approved Appalachian Power's plan to buy Ohio Power's portion of the John Amos plant in Winfield but rejected the company's plan to purchase Ohio Power's 50 percent stake in the Mitchell plant in Moundsville.
While the West Virginia Public Service Commission has yet to weigh in, the Virginia decision, should it stand appeal, effectively ends Appalachian Power's attempt to acquire the Mitchell plant.
Appalachian Power last year announced plans to purchase a two-thirds ownership stake in Unit 3 of the John Amos plant and half of the 1,600-megawatt generating capacity of the Mitchell Plant in Moundsville currently owned by fellow American Electric Power subsidiary Ohio Power.
Ohio is currently deregulating its energy markets, forcing Ohio Power to become more competitive with its pricing.
Appalachian Power President Charles Patton said at a PSC hearing last month that purchasing assets at the two plants would help the company deal with a shortfall in its power-generating capacity.
He said the company has for years been forced to supplement local power demand by buying electricity from other companies. But prices have fluctuated dramatically, increasing costs for consumers.
With several power plants set to retire in 2015, Patton said the decision to buy the Mitchell and Amos units was necessary to boost the company's generating capacity and avoid going to the market for more power.
Environmental and consumer advocates have criticized the $1 billion sale, saying it was simply a maneuver by AEP to dump costly coal-fired assets onto Appalachian customers and would lead to higher electric bills.
While state regulators held a hearing on the matter earlier this month, Virginia's State Corporation Commission had already held its hearings looking into the case.
On Thursday, the Virginia commission decided to approve the purchase of the Amos plant unit, though for a lower price. It said Appalachian Power could buy the unit for $565 million, $53.4 million less than the company had proposed.
The commission said the reduced price more accurately reflects traditional regulatory accounting principles used to determine a plant's book value.
It said the Mitchell purchase presented too many risks to consumers.
"The Commission noted that APCo currently owns none of the Mitchell plant . . . has no track record of operating and maintaining the Mitchell plant or knowledge of all potential environmental and contractual risks associated with Mitchell," the commission's press release said.

Town Square
Is Palo Alto the Charter for Troop 57 of the Anti-Gay Boy Scouts?
Original post made by palo alto parent on Mar 29, 2013
Web Link
Boy Scout Troop 57 meets at Lucie Stern and has a store there. Does that mean that Palo Alto is their Charter organization? If so, why are we supporting a discriminatory group as a City?
While I understand that there is a potential for the Boy Scouts policies to change in May, if they vote to continue to discriminate against gay people, I don't think the City should provide them facilities. Nor should the Cub Scout troops be allowed to use the school multi-purpose rooms.

I agree that public entities should kick out scouting across California. That would put pressure on BSA to change the policy. I think Lucy Stern actually gave the building and land to the scouts, or to the city with the caveat that scouting could use it. That doesn't mean however that the government has to honor that. If she gave it to the KKK with the understanding that they could use it, the City wouldn't be letting the Klavern meet there. Governmental orgs across CA need to send the message to scouting that they will lose support, chartering orgs, meeting places, etc if they don't stop discriminating. This is how you make change. Am I the only one who remembers South Africa?

Pie in the Sky 2013 : About Community Servings
As New England's expert in home-delivered nutrition for the critically ill, Community Servings provides meals to the acutely ill, their families, and their caregivers. Our clients live in 18 cities and towns throughout Massachusetts and battle over 35 different types of illnesses, including HIV/AIDS, breast and other cancers, and kidney disease.
Thanks to a dedicated group of donors and volunteers, Community Servings is extremely cost-efficient: it costs just $25 to prepare and deliver a week's worth of nutritious and comforting meals to a sick client.
In 1990, we delivered our first meal to a man dying from AIDS. After caring for the HIV/AIDS community for 14 years, we expanded our mission to serve people with any critical illness, including mothers struggling with breast cancer, their children and grandfathers fighting liver disease. To help us meet the growing demand for our meals and services, we constructed and relocated to a state-of-the-art industrial kitchen and nutrition facility in July 2007. Our new home has doubled our space and will enable us to significantly increase meal capacity and expand our geographic service area. The building also provides enough room to add related services, such as on-site nutrition education workshops and a food service job-training program. Regardless of our growth, Community Servings will never waver from our founding goals: to help our clients maintain their health and dignity, to preserve the integrity of their families, to provide nutritionally and culturally appropriate meals, and to send the message that someone cares.

Fitting finale to the fling
Published on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 by
Dave Jackson
Read More
It's 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, May 10, the morning after our marathon Birdathon day I described here last month. My wife, Julie, and I are seeking the same birds we found yesterday. The occasion is a new monthlong fundraiser for the Dungeness River Audubon Center, Spring Fling, which ended June 10. Our target is to find 200 unique species. Too bad we aren't allowed any
carryover of the many species we found in Birdathon.
I feel the press of time as we are leaving town in three days for a long-planned two-week trip. By the time we return, many remaining water birds will have flown north to breed.
We find many of the same birds as yesterday, but the snipe that was careening noisily about the sky is nowhere to be found. The lone whimbrel is no longer at John Wayne Marina, but later we find it on the strait. And we find two blue-winged teals, which we knew about but couldn't locate yesterday.
We quit at mid-day, due to prior plans, as I gamble that the water birds to the west still will be around on Tuesday, it being my remaining time window. Our species count is 80.
Tuesday is a birding disaster, however, as strong winds on the strait have whipped up waves so high I see no birds on the water and abandon birding for the day. Nevertheless, thanks to the regular Wednesday morning bird walk near the River Center and some birding on my own, my count reaches 105 before leaving town.
The target of 200 is looking comfortably reachable because we are heading for an Elderhostel in a world-famous birding location, Cape May, N.J. Arriving a couple of days early, we find another 31 species on our own.
We only find 13 new species on the first two days of the Elderhostel, albeit two are life birds for us (northern gannet and blackpoll warbler). The low total is not a good sign as the early field trips in an Elderhostel usually provide the most new birds.
Four field trips on the third day add 10 more. On the last trip, off by myself at the edge of a beach, I spot a least tern standing with a morsel of food dangling from its bill, swinging its head back and forth. A nearby least tern ignores him. Later our leader amplifies on this male courting behavior. A receptive female will mimic the head swings. The male will then drop the food and as she bends down to pick it up, he hops onto her back ... and you know the rest.
On the way to dinner, a chance encounter with a couple we accidentally met before the Elderhostel leads to a plan to capitalize on a window in the class schedule.
The four of us get up early and drive to a distant forest. Bonanza - 20 new species. The afternoon group boat ride in the salt marsh takes us past a heron rookery, where we see both black- and yellow-crowned night-herons. As the Elderhostel ends, my total is 181 species.
A subsequent three-day swing with friends down the coast into Virginia brings our third life bird of the trip, a seaside sparrow, and 14 other new species. Our highlight is seeing masses of horseshoe crabs laying eggs at high tide under a new moon. Some migrants, notably the red knot, totally depend on these eggs to refuel for a nonstop flight to the Arctic.
Back in Sequim, two more species bring my total to 198 on May 28. Then life intrudes, leaving no time to chase new species. Surprises come from several people whose Spring Fling biking and hiking performances Julie and I are supporting with pledges exceeding $50 each. They disregard requests to pledge $2 for my Spring Fling birding. I find this remarkably shortsighted, which leads me to ponder how one would measure shortsightedness in birds.
I'm still at 198 species and Julie is at 195 on June 9, the day before Spring Fling ends. We go seeking our targets of 200. Mine is a horned lark, singing atop Hurricane Ridge mere minutes before the park service finishes plowing snow and opens the road toward Hurricane Hill. We conclude our day with Julie at 199, having missed seeing the harlequin duck I found feeding on the Elwha River while she hiked to see a waterfall.
The next day, on the Wednesday walk, a golden-crowned kinglet comes close to us. This gives Julie 200 species, a fitting conclusion to our Spring Fling birding.

I'd head to the dermatologist prior to starting a new diet. It may not be the dairy products - perhaps things that aren't in it. Vitamin C is supposed to be essential for good skin. And then there is ....... And your chin is resting in your sweaty hand (glistening hand) while you read this. I noticed mine was too as I was reading your problem. Go see a doc first!!
Now for a good shaving cream once you have the acne in control. You are too darn funny.
Jen, you are too funny :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Well, serioursly - don't complicate too much. I think you already know the treatment,but don't want to give up on your habits. Yes.yes I am talking about milk and milk products - it's not your friend.
I know from my brother's experience - he loves dairy products and combines with lots of bread and pasta. Oh, boy, his acne is really BAD!!. When he stops and eat other food - he looks very handsome!
So my advise - start from simple (diet) and try not to touch your face with hands, use mild cleansing (Nivea, Vichi,Clinique) and see how it goes. ;)
I have terrible skin as well.
I have done the whole doctor/dermatologist/medicine route and nothing works. I spent a fortune on accutane and it didn't work at all.
For me Polysporin works in an emergency to calm really bad spots down and heal them faster.
I use Glycolic peels regularly to sluff dead sking and the Peau Vive product line regularly. It seems to work for me. I buy Peau Vive directly from the manufacurer's. It's reletively expensive, but you only use a pea sized drop morning and night. i am trying a 20% peel right now from the drug store. We'll see how it goes.
I found a new product from Clean and Clear that is a clear fluid in a stick. You put the 'gel' on a spot before you makeup. It keeps the makeup out of the soar and creates a protective coating. It works really well while you are trying to heal your skin and go milk shopping. :) Smoother makeup makes for a happy shopping trip.
I would second the Serious Skin products but the problem is they have changed a bit. You can find them at the Shopping Channel and their glycolic cleanser and clearzit are really good products for acne. They used to have a special 'kit' for acne but I don't know if they still have that or not as it seems they are not carrying it very often any more. One warning with those products, which may apply to others, is your skin will get worse before it gets better as they pull the impurities out. it can be frustrating, but putting up with things getting worse for a couple of weeks can make all the difference.
You might find out if there are any dermatology pharmacies in your area. We have one here and they have all manner of products and makeups for various skin problems.
I've always had really oily skin and acne as long as I can remember. I've tried EVERYTHING over the years and FINALLY just got my acne under control a couple years ago after going for a spa facial. They used a product line called Phytomer and my skin has never felt more soft and less oily ever. I think what most of us with oily skin tend to do is over wash and dry it out, and not properly balance and moisturize.
Since that facial, I've been buying the Phytomer products from the spa and they are fantastic. They are fairly expensive, but worth every cent in my opinion, because my face is no longer full of acne and my skin is much more "fresh" looking - which completely boosts my self confidence.
Here is their website in case you are interested - I use the Oligo Pur line for oily and problem skin.
I had very good skin as a teenager but started breaking out later in life (hormones). I found the Serious Skin line worked for me, found it a bit expensive though and found alternatives from Neutrogena that worked just as well for about half the price. I had to use 3 different products twice a day for a few years and then it went away as fast as it came. I heard that toothpaste will cause reactions around the mouth and chin. If you have tried the lotions and potions and they didn't work perhaps a dermatologist visit is in order.
Adult acne sucks, eh? I had perfect skin as a teen, all the way until I was about 26-27, and then WHAM! I got hit, and hit hard! Mostly forehead, so bangs covered the worst of it. I tried everything "non-medical" before finally going to a dermatologist - different cleansers, eliminating food groups - and nothing worked. When I finally got in to see one, they started me on a very mild cleansing routine...apparently I was being too hard on my skin with OTC acne solutions. That helped things quite a bit for awhile, but things got pretty bad again last year (at least I thought so - the doc still said I had a mild case). I then tried retin-A cream, then tetracycline, and finally, as a last resort, accutane. The 5 months I was on accutane was not a pleasant experience, but in the 2.5 months since I've been off of it my skin has never looked better! I now use retin-A cream a couple of nights a week, more for the wrinkle-fighting properties than anything else :p I turn 30 in a couple of weeks, and I'm fighting aging every step of the way! :laugh:
Anyway, the moral of the story is go see a derm if you think you need it! I struggled needlessly with trying to control things myself, when really it was a hormonal thing that needed to be treated from the inside out.
it is always worse in your own mind. Well, perhaps you need to look at the diet thing...no dairy. I know that we are supposed to change our deitary habits as we go along. Drives me crazy!!! I have to admit I can not eat one lonely french frie ( is that the singular...as if anybody actually eats only one!!!) it has to be the whole thing!!! Not that I am a greasy food eater I can't go there for other issues altogether!!! But, it seems that increasing my greens and drinking much more water has helped me somewhat. I am not saying that will work for you but maybe you need to experiment with diet. Oh yah, and by the way, they actually state that pressure on the chin area, i.e. telephone etc. are not good. Apparently it has nothing to do with possible germs on your phone but rather pressure on your skin...go figure....so maybe you better stop covering your chin with your hand?? :D
don't like the sound of that. Have you actually gone to see a dermatologist?
I am not sure but I guess it is worth a try. You better go off dairy all together though and give it a good 2-3 weeks if you hope to see results.
I am sure it will be worth it if it actually works though!!
I often get acne on my chin from holding the phone against my chin. I try to clean my phone with rubbing alcohol often and I find it helps.
Well I did not have acne has a teen and now have it popping up in the same place as you. I see a dermatologist and basically he blames everything on the sun but we know why that is!! The solutions that are offered seem pretty drastic!! Others have told me that it goes away with time and to avoid a lot of products that only add more grease to the skin. Since I have a teenage daughter I have tried using her products but they only seem to make it worse so now I am using a washcloth, water and little bit of Spectragel.
Did you have acne as a teenager? I know they say that adults who did not deal with this during their teen years should definitely see a dermatologist for solutions. Otherwise, it is the cycle coming around again depending on your age.
I feel for you... I know that I am finding my skin to be very sensitive and I am using less facial cream to avoid outbreaks. Unfortunately, I do not think there is a simple answer.

My Next Pentium Is A DEC Alpha
With the propagation of Linux onto non-Intel platforms, we are no longer tied to PCs for running our favorite *nix. I have been getting very leery of the "Pentium per 6 months" phenomena we've been seeing the last couple of years (i.e., whatever you buy is obsolete before you get it home). Each provides incremental enhancements, but nothing to get too excited about.
My goals were to find a new machine that could run Windows NT well, and provide me with an interesting platform for Linux work. (Well, someone has to study the enemy!) Limited to Pentiums, running NT on anything less than 133 MHz would not cut it. Frankly, I'm not expecting anything fun from the Pentium family until the HP/Intel PA-Risc merger chip is released (the forthcoming P7). So, it was off to other directions. A quick market survey indicated that DEC Alphas met my requirements, are competitively priced, and deliver good performance.
I settled on the DEC Universal Desktop Box (UDB), a.k.a. the Multia. This is a fairly compact (2.8x12.5x12.5 in) package which includes a 166- or 233-MHz Alpha, 24MB memory (expandable to 128MB), 256KB cache, Ethernet, floppy, two serial, one parallel, SCSI-2, sound and video components. The 166-MHz unit comes with an internal 340MB hard disk, or else a 520MB unit. Expansion is possible through a PCI card slot and two PCMCIA slots. The video chip supports multisync monitors from 640x480 to 1280x1024, 60 Hz to 75 Hz refresh rates; and the sound card is a clone of the Microsoft Sound system.
I found that the internal hard disk was too small. Removing it, however, was out of the question. Digital put in a 2.5" form-factor drive, a size popular in laptops, but which are generally IDE drives. I could force a 3.5" SCSI-2 drive in, but who would want the drive I removed? It's not too bad. I use the internal drive for boot partitions and swap space, and an external 1GB disk and a CD-ROM drive.
The Multia comes with a three-button PS/2 mouse, but no keyboard. You can obtain UDBs that support PS/2- or PC/AT-style keyboard connectors. Choose a keyboard type and a standard Multi-Sync monitor, and you are ready to run.
Alpha motherboards have PCI adaptors. Therefore you have a ready supply of PC-compatible adaptor cards that can be used with the Multia. For example, there are drivers for joystick adaptors. Even though the UDB comes with most of the features you would want anyway, there's no reason why you could not install a different video card, ISDN controller, etc., as drivers become available.
What makes the UDB special is the lack of frills. Digital, in an effort to keep the price down, markets the machine without software or licenses, and only about three pages of "documentation"--a pictorial essay on how to connect external devices to the connectors, how to open the case and insert RAM, a pointer to Linux on Alpha homepage (www.azstartnet.com/~axplinux) and information on how to join the declinux mailing list.
Digital decided that they rather liked the "Multia" name. The name therefore refers to both the Alpha version I am describing to you, as well as an Intel Pentium version. The boxes look very similar, and target the same market. I have not seen documentation that refers to the Intel Multia as a UDB, whereas the names are interchangeable for the Alpha version. Windows NT refers to the unit as a "Multia", and the Linux FAQ prefers "UDB". So take your pick, but be sure the DEC person knows which one you mean.
This machine seems perfect for Linux and Windows NT. In fact, DEC, seeing a market for a low-cost *nix, participated in developing the port with Linus and the Internet community. The result is a 64-bit Unix that is binary-compatible with statically-linked DEC Unix (formerly OSF-1) applications. So, the availability of commercial software is not too big an issue. If you need a program like Netscape or WordPerfect, get the DEC Unix version. If it is statically linked, it should run with no problems.
Alpha Linux is interesting in that one of the main repositories of platform-specific code is kept on gatekeeper.dec.com. [See "Porting Linux to the DEC Alpha", by Jim Paradis, in LJ #19—ED] Equally interesting is the fact that a lot of the platform-specific code is written (and source shared by) DEC engineers.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

The Mixquiahuala lettersFocusing on the relationship between two fiercely independent women--Teresa, a writer, and Alicia, an artist--this epistolary novel was written as a tribute to Julio Cort zar's Hopscotch and examines Latina forms of love, gender conflict, and female friendship. Ana Castillo's groundbreaking first novel, The Mixquiahuala Letters, received an American Book Award from the Before Columbus Foundation and is widely studied as a feminist text on the nature of self-conflict. |

Sunshine Coast Travel Guide
Noosa National Park, Sunshine Coast © Big Jobs
One of Queensland's premier holiday destinations just north of
Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast runs further south down the state
running from Caloundra and extending to Cooloola, the gateway to
the World Heritage listed site of Fraser Island. A thriving city
life is juxtaposed by the wildness of the coast and nearby Blackall
Mountain Range and Noosa Hinterland, providing all kinds of holiday
opportunities for visitors.
With an average of 300 days of sunshine a year, it's no surprise
why the Sunshine Coast is named so, and why it is a favourite
holiday destinations for visitors of all persuasions. This region
is home to more national parks than any other area of Queensland,
as well as numerous world-class golf courses, rewarding fishing
opportunities on the reefs at Mooloolaba, and over 62 miles (100km)
of sugary white beaches to laze upon, where travellers can soak up
all that glorious sunshine. The surf along this stretch of
coastline is good too, with Noosa National park offering clean
waves and a very nice right hand point break at the Alexandra
The most popular holiday destination on the coast is the resort
town of Noosa. Visitors can explore the Noosa Everglades on a boat
tour, visit the Blackall Range and drop by the quaint villages of
Montville, Flaxton and Mapleton to experience true hinterland
hospitality. Then there's the breathtaking natural beauty of the
Mapleton Falls National Park and Kondalilla National Park, which
are also located in the Blackall Range, and the hinterland towns of
the Glasshouse Mountains, home to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo in

A Tempe man and his wife have pleaded not guilty in the murder of the man's business partner who body has not been found.
Thirty-three-year-old Chad Norris pleaded not guilty Monday to second-degree murder and his wife, 31-year-old Tamara Norris, pleaded not guilty to felony hindering.
The couple were arrested in September for their alleged roles in the murder of 45-year-old Jason Johnson. [Related: Tempe PD: Missing man killed, pair arrested]
Arrest records show Johnson and Chad Norris co-owned an auto-body shop in Tempe.
Investigators learned there was some kind of confrontation between the two.
Investigators kept surveillance on the couple who were seen leaving their home with a trailer that they later abandoned in Phoenix.
Investigators obtained a search warrant and found inside the trailer blood, spent shell casings and a wallet that contained Johnson's driver's license.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The Senate has approved the creation of a special drought-relief fund to aid the state's agricultural community during times of drought emergency.
The full Senate voted without objection to create the fund that would be overseen by the Oklahoma Conservation Commission. However, there was no funding mechanism included in the bill, and any money deposited into it would come from direct appropriations from the Legislature.

Economists look at many tea leaves as they try to determine the health of the economy. One of the most important surrounds vehicle sales, and more specifically pickup truck sales, which are tied to the construction industry. And as last month's sales rose 18 percent, the auto industry is betting big on a real estate rebound.

Federal stimulus money has helped cut the high cost of lithium-ion batteries, but not nearly enough to make electric cars affordable. Now there's an abundance of advanced battery manufacturers and not enough major companies to buy them. Many plants in the United States, South Korean, Japan and China that got government subsidies aren't producing many batteries, if at all. Three years ago Michigan's governor touted the state as the new battery capital of the world. There were five new advanced battery plants in the works, all of which were to get major tax breaks and some federal grants.
Lithium-ion batteries sparked a crisis for Boeing's Dreamliner 787 — but the crisis is not an unprecedented one. Four decades ago, a very similar transition to new battery technology in airplanes yielded similar problems. Audie Cornish describes what happened then — and what lessons might be learned as lithium-ion batteries become the next generation that power planes.

Six Key Elements of Strategic Thinking for CEOsStrategic thinking emphasizes the need to balance today's performance with future opportunity in order to manage risk and navigate through the uncertainty of the business landscape. The ability to think strategically sparks new ideas and future business propositions that are the lifeblood of long-term success, but many CEOs and senior executives continuously struggle to look past the present and put the future in focus. In fact, Chief Executive magazine has previously reported that a staggering seven out of 10 leaders don't consider themselves to be strategic. So, where have all the strategic leaders gone? |

I don't know, maybe after they bombed with Mission Space they should save their money. But I guess your right, it would have to be Wonders of Life, lets hope they think this one through !!
:mickey: Some attractions in Future World are in extreme need of being redone. World of Motion was the first, redone in 1996 into Test Track. Universe of Energy was also redone in 1996. In 1998 the horrible makeover of Journey into Imagination into the Imagination Institute was made, it was so bad that it was redone again in 2002 & possibly may be redone in 2007 or 2008. Then in 1999 the classic attraction Horizons, to many peoples disatifaction, was demolished & turned into Mission Space. The Land was redone, with great success in 2004, with the edition of the hugely popular Soarin'. The Living Seas is currently under renovation, with the edition of The Sea's with Nemo & Friends, it will be back at the top of its game. After a remake of Imagination, the next pavillion for a makeover definately should be Wonders of Life. Doesn't it look so 80's, lol. Finnaly by that time Universe of Energy will need another makeover. As for a new pavillion I have heard talks before about the popular Toyko Disney Seas attraction Storm Riders, may be built between The Land & The Living Seas. We will see.
Future World & Tomorrowland rule!
I don't agree with you necessarily that Mission Space has "bombed". Despite the bad publicity, it is always very crowded when I am at Epcot.Originally Posted by GIOny
I personally think the Imagination pavillion definitely needs to be redone. The older version with Dreamfinder and Figment was much better. Isn't Wonders of Life closed because the sponsor backed out? And I won't get started on the Horizons demolition, that was my absolute favorite!

Diversified Company
Definition of 'Diversified Company'
A company that has multiple, unrelated businesses. Unrelated businesses are those which (1) require unique management expertise, (2) have different end customers and (3) produce different products or provide different services. One of the benefits of being a diversified company is that it buffers a company from dramatic fluctuations in any one industry sector. However, this model is also less likely to enable stockholders to realize significant gains or losses because it is not singularly focused on one business.
Investopedia explains 'Diversified Company'
Companies may become diversified by entering into new businesses on its own, by merging with another company or by acquiring a company operating in another field or service sector. One of the challenges facing diversified companies is the need to maintain a strong strategic focus to produce solid financial returns for shareholders instead of diluting corporate value through ill-conceived acquisitions or expansions.
Some of the most well-known American diversified companies are GE, 3M, Sara Lee and Motorola. European diversified companies include Siemens and Bayer; Asian diversified companies include Hitachi, Toshiba, and Sanyo Electric. |

Advent? What is all about
The word Advent derives from the Latin word meaning coming. The Lord is coming. We may reflect that every year at this time we celebrate his coming , so that in a sense we can lose the feeling of expectancy and joyful anticipation, because at the end of the season, everything seems to return to pretty much the same routine. If that is the case, then our preparation may have been lacking ... continue reading

Orlando Magic Daily Podcast Episode 4
Wow, that was some fun Sunday night.
A few hours after the game, I recapped the Magic's win over the Lakers and all the emotion wrapped up in it on the fourth episode of the Orlando Magic Daily Podcast. Feel free to give it a listen!
Listen to internet radio with Orlando Magic Daily Weekend on Blog Talk Radio
I kind of do not even want to play tonight's game against the hot Warriors. It probably will not bring down this fan base.

looking and trying to see
"Kant [...] speaks of the beautiful as the 'symbol of the morally good', and discusses how the harmonizing of voices which takes place in aesthetic perception, as opposed to the dissonance of contradiction, brings about an ennobling elevation (Erhebung) beyond the senses in the direction of the intelligible. This ennobling elevation places the aesthetic in a mediating role, defining it as that which points beyond itself toward the supersensible domain of the ethical. Kant wishes to grant to the aesthetic both a final and a mediating function, where horizontal and vertical planes join each other." (

In Germany, A Car Pool That Actually Involves Water
By editor
Originally published on Fri July 26, 2013 5:33 am
Good morning. I'm David Greene. What better way to beat the summer heat than jumping in a pool? That's what some guys in Germany did, but their pool was a converted an open-top BMW - complete with tiki decorations - still drivable. The fun, though, dried up when they passed a motorcycle cop. They pulled over, abandoned the vehicle and jumped into a nearby river. The investigation is still ongoing, but the police did say this car pool probably didn't have a road permit. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Based upon Peter Biskind's book of the same name, this BBC-produced documentary traces the rise of a generation of Hollywood filmmakers who briefly changed the face of movies with a more personal approach that pushed the boundaries of what was acceptable onscreen. Influenced by such European directors as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, and Federico Fellini, the movement kicked off in the mid-'60s with two films directed by Arthur Penn: Mickey One and Bonnie and Clyde.

Germany wants nuclear exit by 2022
Germany plans to shut all nuclear reactors by 2022, Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling coalition announced today in a policy reversal drawn up in a rush after the Fukushima disaster in Japan.
The coalition, sensitive to accusations it may increase dependence on highly polluting brown coal, said it planned to cut power use by 10 percent by 2020 and further expand the use of renewables such as wind and solar power.
Merkel's bid to outflank the opposition smacks of opportunism to many Germans but could ease an alliance with the anti-nuclear Greens that may be her best bet to … Read more
