CATEGORIES MoviesIt looks like all Jane has is a gun.
Jude Law has reportedly decided to drop out of the indie western film, "Jane Got a Gun." The news of the actor's exit comes just two days after the movie's director, Lynne Ramsay, skipped out on the first day of filming, and was quickly replaced by Gavin O'Connor ("Warrior").
Law left the production because Ramsay ("We Need to Talk About Kevin") was no longer on board, according to Yahoo News.
Law and Ramsay are not the first people to leave the project in the dust. Michael Fassbender was originally cast in Law's role opposite star and producer, Natalie Portman, but quit because of scheduling problems.
Those still attached to the film include Portman, Producer Scott Steindorff, and actor Joel Edgerton.
In "Jane," Portman plays a woman who partners with her ex (the role Fassbender then Law were supposed to play) to defend her farm against a group of outlaws.
Shooting for the film is set to begin today -- that is, if anyone shows up.

I develop a 3rd edition application that uses a dll for various sound operations. How may I deploy my application on a 3rd edition device in such a way that the dll is accepted and used?
The single way I found was to install also the dll with a sis file and then install my application with another sis file in order to accept the dll (also found a easier way for this, an embedded sis).
In the old 2nd edition it was enough that the dll existed in the same path as the app or in system\libs, without any other setting. It is not working anymore on 3rd edition? If yes, what requirements the application / the dll must comply for this?
Thanks in advance !

Campus Housing:
Very spacious, new, clean dorms. No complaints on the facilities. The strictness and visitation rules are the main issue.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are a decent size. There are several buildings. The dorms are not coed. It seems that the boys dorm has the kitchenettes which are not available in the girls dorms. I think they should be reversed.
Campus Housing:
Gorgeous campus, everything is brand new, you really can't go wrong in any of the dorms.
Campus Housing:
The dorms are outstanding, very big and accommodating, however, they do not have cable. The social atmosphere is very friendly but rather dull and rarely do you feel like you are not in a sleepy neighborhood setting. The housing process and flexibility of rooming in the residence halls is accommodating and relatively easy. Overall, the dorms are very nice and comfortable yet the social atmosphere is lacking.
Campus Housing:
All of the buildings are built to withstand a category 3 hurricane so no need to worry about being blown away. Most of the buildings are newer with wifi and plenty of space. The RD's know what they're doing and help keep the catholic morals enforcing the rules of no members of the opposite sex in individual rooms. They also hold events throughout the year so that you can get to know the guys in your dorms.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Natalia Selín
The housing at Ave Maria is very good. While the girls' megadorms are newer than the boys' dorms, all of the buildings are relatively new and kept in excellent condition. The rooms are typically very spacious and well-furnished. Furthermore, all the dorm halls have a computer room on each floor, which makes it easy for the residents to find a computer anywhere. Each of the dormitories also has a laundry room, and there is no cost to use the washers and dryers here, making it incredibly easy (and affordable) for students to do their laundry. Every dormitory also has RAs and RDs who rent out cleaning supplies, movies, and games to the residents.
As far as roommates are concerned, the girls can have between one and three, while the guys' dorms are mostly doubles. All the rooms have private bathrooms, and there are upperclassman suites available that house six to eight people. All in all, the dorms at Ave Maria are in excellent condition and are a good deal. Most students also appreciate that the dorms and classrooms are in close proximity; the distance between the two is a 10-minute walk, at most. The on-campus housing, without a doubt, is one of the best aspects of Ave Maria student life.

Florida House votes unanimously to plug doc-stamp loophole
By Jeff Ostrowski
Members of the Florida House unanimously approved a bill to close a tax loophole that lets buyers and sellers of $200 million trophy properties to pay less in transfer taxes than buyers and sellers of $30,000 condos.
The Senate already has unanimously approved the measure, SB 2430.
House Majority Whip Carlos Lopez-Cantera (R-Miami) issued this statement:
"I believe it's important to take a fiscally responsible long-term view that puts Florida in the best shape possible to rebound when the economy picks up. This bill is a significant step in that direction. This bi-partisan measure will close a corporate loophole created by the Florida Supreme Court's Crescent decision, and by doing so, will generate millions of dollars in lost revenue for the state during these difficult economic times. In addition, this bill will extend the Miami-Dade County Affordable Documentary Surtax Program, which provides millions of dollars to help finance the construction, rehabilitation and purchase of housing for low-income and moderate-income families in Miami-Dade County."
Since the Florida Supreme Court's decision, sellers could avoid the doc-stamp tax by structuring a deal as a sale of corporate assets rather than a transfer of real estate. Under this bill, the tax loophole would close for any property where ownership is transferred within three years of the date the real property was acquired by a corporation or limited liability company.
The House didn't completely close the loophole. Its version of the bill still allows the tax break for a property where ownership transfers more than three years after the real estate is acquired by a corporation or limited liability company. However, it would end the paper shuffle of creating a corporate entity to hold a piece of property a few weeks or months before it's sold.
"They went after the most egregious cases of trying to circumvent the documentary stamp tax," said Adi Rappoport, an attorney at Gunster Yoakley in West Palm Beach. "They saw that they were leaving a lot of money on the table, and they weren't happy about that."
Yet Rappoport notes that the loophole was used during an unprecedented boom in the real estate market.
"All the big-money deals using this planning technique have already been done," he said.

Two-Disc Deluxe Edition of Les Misérables Film Soundtrack Sets March Release Date
By Adam Hetrick
A two-disc deluxe edition of the soundtrack for the Golden Globe-winning film adaptation of Les Misérables will be released in March.
The two-disc deluxe album, which will be released March 19, will include 22 tracks that were previously unreleased on an earlier highlights album. Songs noticeably absent from the December 2012, single-disc, 20-track highlights album include "A Little Fall of Rain," "Do You Hear the People Sing" and "Lovely Ladies."
"Post-production on the Les Misérables film was extremely tight, with recording of the orchestra, final edit and sound mix having to be completed in only a few weeks. There was only enough time to remix a limited number of tracks so that at least a highlights album could be released for the fans before Christmas," producer Cameron Mackintosh said in a statement.
The new packaging will also feature additional production notes and never-before-seen photos from the film, which was directed by Tom Hooper.
Individuals who purchased the highlights version will be able to complete their collection by purchasing the additional deluxe tracks independently.
The cast, including Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway and Aaron Tveit, recorded all of their singing live during filming, listening to piano accompaniment through a hidden earpiece. A 70-piece orchestra later gathered in London to record the full orchestrations that are featured in the film and on the soundtrack.
The film stars Jackman as Valjean; Crowe as Javert; Hathaway as Fantine; Tveit as Enjolras; Helena Bonham Carter as Madame Thenardier; Amanda Seyfried as Cosette; Eddie Redmayne as Marius; Samantha Barks as Eponine; George Blagden as student Grantaire; Sacha Baron Cohen as Thenardier; and Daniel Huttlestone as child-hero Gavroche.
The track listing for the previously-released highlights album follows:

Chesham turn back the clock in hour of need (From Bucks Free Press)

Effiong back at The Meadow
10:00am Friday 28th December 2012 in Sport By Alan Feldberg
CHESHAM United are resorting to tried and tested methods in a bid to rekindle their form, with three former players being rushed back to The Meadow since their FA Trophy defeat to Barrow.
Rob Bartley and John Kyriacou returned to the club in the days following Chesham's 5-1 home loss to the Conference club, and manager Andy Leese has followed that double swoop by also re-signing Inih Effiong.
Effiong played for Chesham on loan last season and the club believe they would have got promotion had he finished the season with them instead of being recalled to Boreham Wood.
However, this deal is permanent and will keep him at the club until at least the summer.
Leese said: "Inih is familiar to all at Chesham after his successful loan spell with us last season, and the chance to sign him was one we could not pass up.
"We have struggled to score regularly this season, and I am sure Inih will give us a lift in that regard.
"He is still only 21, hungry to play games and to go further in the game.
"It has been a busy week with JK and Bobby returning to the club, and I am very grateful to the chairman and Roger Payne for their support in getting these deals done.
"We are also grateful to all at Boreham Wood FC for their patience and willingness in getting the transfer completed in time for Inih to feature in our Christmas games.
"The squad is looking more competitive than it did last week, and the arrival of three new familiar faces will boost everyone around the club as we seek to get the season back on track."
On the pitch, Chesham were denied a valuable league victory on Boxing Day by a late Chippenham equaliser.
Simon Thomas had put the Generals in front after 67 minutes, but Chippenham drew level after 78 minutes and that's how it remained.
Tomorrow they host Barwell.

This route starts as a piece of cake, with easy 5.7 slab moves, but stiffens as you approach the top. I felt the crux was at the very top of the climb, between the last bolt and the anchors. Just follow the bolts.
12 bolts to a 2 bolt anchor. Be sure to use a 60m rope.... it's close to 100' to the ground.

www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54942561-78/climber-canyon-cotton>>> Two injured climbers rescued from Big Cottonwood Canyon Accident » One climber in serious condition after fall near Storm Mountain. By Bob Mims | The Salt Lake Tribune First Published Sep 21 2012 11:42 am • Last Updated Sep 21 2012 04:14 pm Salt Lake County Search and Rescue workers retrieved two injured climbers late Thursday night from a cliff side near Storm Mountain in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Unified Police Capt. Kris Ownby said Friday that the two men were rappelling down the Challenge Buttress, just across from Storm Mountain, about 8 p.m. in tandem, alternating as counterbalancing weights to each other. One of them fell off the end of the rope, and both fell as a result. A 25-year-old climber tumbled about 10 feet, while the second climber, a 31-year-old man, dropped 40 feet. Ownby said the 25-year-old suffered a lower leg laceration and possibly sprained ankle, but his companion sustained more severe injuries to his legs and upper body. About 20 rescuers, including four paramedics, responded to the scene. The 25-year-old climber was aided in completing his ascent by 9:30 p.m. and drove himself to a hospital to be checked out. The other climber was lowered by rescuers shortly thereafter and taken to University Hospital in serious but non-life threatening condition.
Simul rapping can be expeditious but vigilance must rule the day. Hope both parties fully recover.
I was the 23 yesr old involved in the accident. We are still not sure what happened. My friend and i were still hooked onto the rope after we fell because i had knotted the ends. All i remember is him just falling really fast and hitting the ground and then i fell as a result. I have simul rappeled several times before i still do not know what went wrong or what i should do different im the future.
Anant, How is your friend doing? Prussic backups on a simu rappel can add some safety. Were you rapping on one rope two?
Which route were you guys descending? An anchor check is in order without a doubt.
I'm sorry to hear about your accident. I'm guessing that the ends of the rope, knots and all, were on the ground. From your description, its seems likely that the first person lost control of the rope/belay device and hit the ground, after which the rope continued to pull through the device, thereby causing the second person to hit the ground.
My friend justin is doing okay. He has a fractured vertebrate but the doctors say he will heal up 100 %. I do think i need to start using prusiks for backup specially when using single ropes. I do think that he just lost control and fell which resulted in me falling. I am not sure what route this was but it was on the east face of Challenge buttress and has a second 5.11 pitch.
Sounds like Worthy Whoopsie. Glad to hear you guys are okay.
Sucks dude. One reason I don't rope climb often is my fear that my partner will make a mistake or even worse, I will. Hope you both recover physically and mentally soon.
"Sucks dude. One reason I don't rope climb often is my fear that my partner will make a mistake or even worse, I will." You Kant be serious. Just don't do stupid dumb sh_T, like simul rap.
Guy- Not saying it's a rational fear, just that I don't like the idea that if I screw up it could affect someone else. And yeah, you would never catch me doing a simul-rappel unless there was a volcano spewing lava right above us and we had to both get off the summit at the same time.
This is a good reason not to simulrappel. No thanks. Unless you are rappelling a 25 pitch route in a day, there is no point. And as you said, you have no idea what your partner did wrong. Who needs that?
I don't see the point either unless they couldn't decide who should go first
You might want to have a clue what the potential costs are vs. benefits.

Updated Monday, Sept. 3, 6:21 p.m.
Bears MLB Brian Urlacher told a Chicago TV station that despite his balky knee, he plans to play Week One against the Colts.
Urlacher told WFLD-Channel 32 that his left knee, which has been operated on multiple times this offseason, "will never be the same" but that he'll be on the field for the regular-season opener.
"I'm playing Sunday," Urlacher said. "That's a done deal."
Urlacher was on the field for practice on Monday. Bears head coach Lovie Smith said last week he expected to see Urlacher on the practice field prior to the Colts game.
Urlacher sprained the MCL and PCL in his left knee in Week 17 last season and underwent an arthroscopic procedure in August. The Chicago Tribune reported that Urlacher went to Europe to undergo an experimental, non-surgical procedure prior to the scope.
The Bears have a short turnaround if Urlacher hopes to play in Week Two against the Bears' division rivals, the Packers. The game is on Thursday, Sept. 13 — four days after the Colts game — in Green Bay.
Some have suggested that Urlacher should skip the opener and wait to play against the Packers. He apparently disagrees with that idea.
"I don't see why (I would wait)," Urlacher said. "We have a day off Monday (before the Packers game) and our practices before that game will be quick anyway. There is not a whole lot that is going to happen. We already have our game plan in, I think.
"Because we play Green Bay twice a year, we know what they're doing, they know what we're doing. There shouldn't be a whole lot of game-planning going on."

activities and attractions in Carolina Beach Atlantic Coast
Carolina Beach
Near the center of Carolina Beach is Jubilee Park, where you'll find water slides, miniature golf courses and other activities that appeal to the kids. Adults will enjoy sport fishing and evening party boats that are harbored in the center of town.
Carolina Beach has a movie theater, grocery stores, drugstores, beach shops and boutiques, numerous restaurants, hardware and variety stores, and bait shops. You can fish from the pier, surf cast, or experience sport fishing from a number of charter boats located in the municipal yacht basin.
Kure Beach
Carolina Beach is adjacent to Kure Beach, a predominantly residential area. At the center of town, a popular fishing pier extends well out over the ocean and there are a number of restaurants. A charming boardwalk with benches extends north along the beach and is lighted at night.
Fort Fisher
Fort Fisher Historic Site & Fort Fisher State Recreation Area
To the south of Kure Beach are the Fort Fisher State Historic Site and Fort Fisher State Recreation Area. The Historic Site, amidst twisted live oaks, was the largest of the Confederacy's earthwork fortifications during the Civil War. The Recreation Area has 4 miles of wide, unspoiled beach, a visitor center with bath house, a snack bar and restrooms.
The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher
The North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher has been expanded into one of North Carolina's largest aquariums. It has many new features, including a huge shark tank.
Fort Fisher–Southport Ferry and the Public Boat Launch Area
At the southern end of U.S. 421 is the Fort Fisher–Southport Ferry. Across the road is a public boat launch area that is popular for windsurfing, parasailing, kiteboarding, kayaking and fishing.
Attractions Close to Pleasure Island
To the North
To the north of Pleasure Island, golf, museums, a kiddie zoo, gardens, historic attractions and shopping are within a short drive or ferry ride.
During the day, downtown Wilmington is quaint and charming, but at night it comes alive in a whole new way. Dance clubs, jazz bars, venues for rock, rhythm and blues and more can be found in the downtown district. The Riverwalk, with its view of the Battleship North Carolina moored on the western shore, is a great place to stroll, grab a hot dog from a street vendor, listen to free music, and enjoy the river activity. Restaurants, boutiques, art galleries and antiques shops line the streets.
Across the Cape Fear River is Southport, home to the largest Fourth of July Festival in North Carolina - a week of activities consisting of arts and crafts, street dancing, lots of fun and a parade, culminating in an evening of fireworks. In October, Southport hosts their Annual King Mackerel Tournament, which is open to the public.

Baseball season is upon us, and that means lots of nights out at the local baseball fields watching the boys learn teamwork and how to play the all-American pastime. This year, our coaches have decided that the boys will play even if it is raining. Tuesday night we had a great game (our team won!) at one of the local fields. It was pouring rain the entire time. My little guy came home soaked to the skin, and with socks covered in mud!
Summertime socks always seem to get especially dirty at our house, and baseball socks seem to be the worst. What was once white is now brown and dingy looking.
You have a few options when it comes to really dirty socks.
- You always have the option to drive down to your local store and buy more socks; throwing the disgustingly dirty ones in the trash. This would be the most costly and least environmentally-friendly solution.
- Some people tell me that they bleach their socks to keep them white. I have previously posted some information on the dangers of bleach under Negative Impacts of Bleach, so that is not an option I would recommend either. It's hard on the clothes, and not friendly to either your health or the environment.
- What we do (and what I recommend) is the following… Take one full scoop of Norwex Ultra Power Plus Laundry Detergent and put it in a bucket of hot water. Drop the dirty socks into the hot water, and soak them overnight. The next day you can launder them with a regular load of laundry. We have had good success with this method.
I love my boys, and I'm thrilled that they get their socks dirty. Dirty socks mean they are outside being active and exploring the world. I also love the fact that I know how to get these socks clean the "Norwex way."
What is your biggest laundry challenge? I would love to help you tackle it.
When They Can Clean it Themselves
I am blessed to be the mother of two boys. When I found out that I was expecting my first, I knew that I would need to learn to deal with muddy shoes, insects, stinky smells. After all…aren't we told that "snakes and snails, and puppy dog tails…that's what little boys are made of?" When I learned that we were having our second son, I decided to accept the fact that there were going to be some seriously messy things in our house and that I would just have to learn how to deal with it.
We have had our share of messes. We have had one son walk all the way across the house with his toe bleeding, oblivious to the fact that he was smearing blood all down the hall. They come inside and tell me that they "forgot" to put shoes on before going out and playing in the dirt, so white socks have now turned brown. Yogurts break in backpacks and aren't reported until the next day. They walk to our room to tell us they are sick and end up getting sick in the hall. We have even had one of our sons bring the head of a dead duck into the house!
These are some seriously messy scenarios. All of these messes were cleaned in a safe Norwex way…soaking socks in Norwex Ultra Power Plus to turn them white again, cleaning out backpacks or carpeting with the enviro cloth…and I have to admit that we have used our share of Odor Eliminator (after all…they are BOYS!)
There are also the everyday messes…spilled milk or juice, tiny food-fights, splashing water all over the bathroom, toothpaste in the sink and on the mirror, mud tracked across the hardwood floor or carpet, grass stains in clothing, … the list could go on and on.
What excites me is that the majority of messes that my boys make, THEY CAN CLEAN THEMSELVES!
I walked into the kitchen this morning and found one of my sons on the floor with a wet enviro cloth, scrubbing. He had spilled some juice all over the hardwood floor. Instead of using paper towels and creating waste, he got an enviro cloth, got it wet with warm water, and took care of cleaning up the mess. It warms my heart, especially right before Mother's Day, to see my sons able to take the initiative to clean up after themselves. To know that they are doing it in a way that is safe, and also saves money and eliminates waste…that's AMAZING!
I love the fact that I can hand my boys two cloths (an enviro cloth and window cloth) and send them into their bathroom and they can actually CLEAN it! With those two cloths, they can clean their mirror, wash the sink, wipe down the counter top and tub, and even clean the floor around the toilet! They are learning skills of self sufficiency while I am saving time and becoming a much happier mom! They do help with the dusting sometimes as well, with the Norwex Kids Dusting Mitt, but this is a story about THEIR messes, not mine.
I am so blessed to have two wonderful sons, messes and all, but I do admit that I love the fact that they can now "clean it themselves!!"
How has Norwex changed your family's cleaning habits? Do your children help clean up after themselves more than they did prior to Norwex? I'd love to hear your stories!

Every so often, every shot a player takes goes in. During the regular season, these are viewed as hot streaks, and rightly so. During the playoffs, people take them far too seriously.
How long should a player stay on the ice? Bruce Boudreau seems to be thinking outside of the box on this point.
There's a theory out there that one dynamic offensive star can make or break a hockey team. It's overblown, as Mario Lemieux's example makes abundantly clear.
When is the best time to let folks know that one of your franchises is bleeding out? When their attention is elsewhere, of course.
With the first round over with, let's revisit my playoff predictions. Western Conference 1. SJ vs. 8. ANA - SJ in 6 2. DET vs. 7. CBJ - DET in 7 3. VAN vs. 6. STL - VAN in 6 4. CHI vs. 5. CGY...
How bad has Joe Thornton been? A comparison of Thornton's struggles with the playoff futility of the San Jose Sharks.
Wasn't it just yesterday that people were saying Simeon Varlamov would have difficulty playing a playoff road game? Somehow, I doubt that theory survived the night.
Why will Chicago beat Calgary in this playoff series? Game one helped make it clear: goaltending.

The informal meeting will be in the commission's board room at 10 a.m. District 1 Commissioner Keith Davis said he expects the group to discuss waste management, county property, coal tax distribution and supernumerary retirement.
"Those few items will probably take us all day," Davis said.
Coal severance tax distribution was discussed at the group's meeting on March 18. Two commissioners, Dan Wright (District 2) and Bobby Nunnelley (District 3) have proposed changing the way the tax is divided. The two introduced the idea of dividing the funds by road miles in each district.
District 4 Commissioner Steven Aderholt said during the meeting that he was strongly opposed to the idea.
A decision on the issue was tabled until the commission's next meeting on April 1.
A proposal to end supernumerary retirement was also discussed on March 18 and a decision was tabled until April 1.
Walker County is one of five counties in the state that does not give certain elected officials access to the Retirement Systems of Alabama for their retirement. Currently, officials such as the sheriff, probate judge and revenue commissioner pay into a fund for their retirement. When they no longer serve the county, they are appointed to a supernumerary position and are paid from that account by the county.
The change being considered by commissioners would eliminate supernumerary positions in the county and allow those officials and other elected officials to pay into the RSA the same as all other county employees.
When the issue was brought up, commissioners voted unanimously to table it, saying they needed more time to consider the change.
The administrative session is open to the public. Commissioners are expected to receive comments from citizens.

I have translated a poetic piece, a bit metaphorical and difficult from Arabic language to English language.
I would love to hear any thoughts about it and whether it makes any sense...
Is that allowed here or not? May I hear any feedback if I post it?
Only one way to find out..................
what do you mean?
Let everyone see it and you'll soon find out if anyone has any views on it.
I, for one, would be interested.
OK. This is the piece, as I said in the title, your thoughts would enrich me for sure...
"The One Hidden Into My Features."
nostalgia overwhelmed,
thereby went out , forgetting my features,
the pillow,
tracking imprints of beloved
adorned my city
I watch for you
my wait is aging
and the female inside of me
fabricates smiles
for bitterness to come
As usual
burrowing through the dreams of yesterday
looking for your face
as it found to be hidden,
into my features.
Blanketed in Silence
for fear
of stumbling
over the question
why such dancing sadness
is in the eyes?
"The One Hidden In My Features."
nostalgia overwhelmed me.
I therefore went out, forsaking my features
the pillow,
tracking imprints of my beloved who
adorned my city.
I watch for you
my wait is tiring
and the female inside of me
fabricates smiles
for the bitterness to come.
As usual,
burrowing through the dreams of yesterday,
looking for your face
as though it were to be found hidden
in my features,
Blanketed in silence
for fear
of stumbling
over the question:
Why is such dancing sadness
in the eyes?
What a great help!
Seemingly you grasped the meaning of the poem very well, thank you, I appreciate your help very very much
Now you know what I meant in post#2.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
fortunate we are to have a Great Lake as a border. How easy it would be
to take it for granted. We are learning that even a Great Lake can be
vulnerable to bad practices and equally bad government policies.
an effort to protect the lake, a bipartisan legislative caucus with members
from the Ohio Senate and House formed the Lake Erie Caucus.
by State Senator Randy Gardner, whose district includes the most Lake Erie
shoreline of any senate district in Ohio, the Lake Erie Caucus will focus on
the critical issues impacting Lake Erie. And there is plenty to worry
about: algae blooms, protecting safe drinking water, battling Asian Carp,
tourism and jobs, top a long list.
Lake Erie is an amazing and massive asset - as long as it remains healthy.
Sen. Gardner promised he would
provide me with regular updates from the Lake Erie Caucus. I believe he
will lead this group with passion and a deep-held respect and concern for the
future of Lake Erie. We should all want him to be successful.
I promise to keep you updated.

Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
WAS AND IS TO COME is honest, it's heavy and it's about time a band steps up to bring integrity back to metal. And just in case you were wondering… yes there are guitar solos and no, there are no clean melodic cliched vocals. This record is for fans of metal, pure and simple – Lamb of God, Haebreed, Machine Head, Sepultura, just to name a few…
I had the pleasure of reviewing this CD for Metal Edge Magazine a few months back (July 2007). Below is a copy of the text as it appeared.
"Bludgeoning and brutal throughout, Was And Is To Come is an aural assault bringing metal back to the mid nineties. Sepultura, Carcass and Crowbar-esque influences are present, but it's less imitation and more a subtle homage paid in Thy Will Be Done's uniquely loud and heavy fashion. Was And Is To Come captivates and pummels from start to finish proving to be one of the more honest and complete debut releases of the year. Ranging from metal with a southern rock groove to a cathartic five minute epic, the result is thirty eight minutes of resistance to current metal trends."
Having heard only brief cuts from this prior to its release, I knew I'd love it, but did not know how much.
Most bands only dream their first album sounded this solid.
This is band is rock solid. This is metal with no catches or loop holes. This will not be on the latest guitar hero. There will not be 15 year-old girls wearing Thy Will Be Done t-shirts. There is no clinched clean vocals for breathing room. This cd will however make you want to catch a few foxes and set their tails ablaze and send them running like wild banshees into dry forest. Consider yourself lucky if you somehow get recommended or stumble upon this flawless debut album. Jesse Leech makes a guest appearance and bellows out a dry throat stamp on "preserving the sacred". This cd starts out with with an eerie sounding intro…it kinda reminds me of a pirate ship coming ashore through a dense fog…then goes straight into 37 minutes of pummel. Just don't forget to pick up your teeth when your done listening…
This album is a truly inspiring, hardcore, amazing album. The sound is something like Jessie Leach Killswitch Engage, meets Hatebreed, meets Lamb of God, Meets Demon Hunter. It's fast and powerful (both in lyrics and sound). I had the pleasure of meeting the singer this past saturday, and he is a very nice, genuine guy. The lyrics are Christian (it's pretty obvious when looking at the name), but even if you yourself are not Christian, if you are a metal fan, you will love this album. I HIGHLY recommend this album to any true metal fan.

Dr.Manuck is great. She always takes time to answer all my questions. She was very knowledgable and quick acting when I was in PTL. We owe making our twin pregnancy to term to her!UofU Patient May 06, 2013
Everyone in the clinic listens, and spends as much time as you need to feel comfortable!!UofU Patient April 01, 2013
The midwife, and Doctor are wonderful. They spend as much time as they need to spend with you. They don't talk above your head like many doctors do. They talk directly to you. They let you ask enough questions until you feel comfortable. They won't leave the room until you are finished. They are incredible. I would recommend this office and my providers to everyone.UofU Patient March 05, 2013
Dr. Manuck was excellent. I was very impressed that we were able to meet with her only 15 minutes after having the ultrasound and it had already been ready by herself and the radiologist. She was comforting, but to the point and I absolutely trusted her professional opinion.UofU Patient March 04, 2013
The staff, Doctors, and everyone else are very nice. They are easy to talk to and very informative even on days where they are backed up and the waits are long.UofU Patient February 25, 2013
Dr. Manuck is wonderful. She always listens to all our concerns and thoroughly answers our questions. We never feel rushed. Dr. Manuck is very caring and she is very passionate about maternal fetal medicine.UofU Patient February 18, 2013
id like to know more information about what's happening through out my pregnancy and my baby's development instead of saying how sorry they are.UofU Patient January 22, 2013
I have never felt like Dr. Manuck is in a hurry to move on to another patient. She is very helpful and takes time to answer all of our questions.UofU Patient September 17, 2012
I have already spoken very highly about the facility and their staff, I would comfortably reccomend this care facility to anyone.UofU Patient June 18, 2012
I really like my Dr. she seemed rushed at first but it seems like she is willing to spend more time with me now and listen to my questions. The midwife is really quick to prescribe me medicines and doesn't want to answer my questions about their side effects. I also feel like she doesn't treat my body like its mine, doesn't ask if she can do certain things and she is rough with my belly without my permission.UofU Patient May 02, 2012
Dr. Manuck is one of my favorite doctors. She always takes the time to make sure all of my questions are answered. She has also made an extra effort to complete some disability insurance paperwork for me after it had inadvertently been overlooked. She is a very dedicated provider!UofU Patient May 02, 2012
So far so good.UofU Patient April 25, 2012
Dr. Manuck is an amazing physician, and I had an incredible experience with her as my MFM doctor during this pregnancy.

The Houston Rockets beat the New York Knicks 102-100 on Friday night, and it was deja vu all over again for the Knicks. With the score tied at 100, J.R. Smith took a three-pointer with 21 seconds remaining on the clock:
Watch closely as Knicks center Tyson Chandler holds up his hand, trying to motion for Smith to run more time off the clock before shooting.
Houston got the rebound and, two free throws later, won the game.
This is the second time this season that the Knicks have made a play this dumb. Andrea Bargnani took a three-pointer in overtime when the Knicks were up two against the Milwaukee Bucks in December.
The Knicks escaped that game with a win. This time, they weren't so lucky.
In Smith's defense, he didn't know what the score was.
J.R. Smith says he thought the Knicks were down 2 when he took the ill advised three. "That's bad basketball IQ on me," he said.—
Frank Isola (@FisolaNYDN) January 04, 2014
Smith himself took to Twitter afterwards to apologize and take responsibility for the play.
Bone head play! Slander well deserved!—

Nuremberg - St. Lorenz
The World > Europe > Germany > Bavaria > Franconia > Nuremberg
St. Lorenz Church has a nave in the form of a basilica, built in the first half of the 14th century. The choir was rebuilt about 100 years later as a magnificent hall choir (1477 finished).
Famous pieces of art are the carved Annunciation ("Englischer Gruss") by Veit Stoss, nearly 4 m high and floating in the center of the choir (1518), as well as the 18 m high tabernacle by Adam Kraft (1496) in the northern part of the choir.

Martí denounced the brutal system and called it a monster, in whose entrails he had lived. His internationalist spirit shone as never before when, in a letter left unfinished due to his death in combat, he publicly revealed the objective of his restless struggle: "…I am now every day risking my life for my country, and for my duty –since I understand it and have the courage to do it– to timely prevent, with the independence of Cuba, that the United States expand over the Antilles and that they fall, with this additional force, over our lands in America…"
It was not in vain that he stated in plain verse: "With the poor of this earth, my fate I wish to cast". Later, he proclaimed categorically: "Humanity is homeland". The Apostle of our independence wrote one day: "Let Venezuela call on me to serve her: I am her son".
The most sophisticated media developed by technology, employed to kill human beings and to subjugate or exterminate peoples; the massive sowing of conditioned reflexes of the mind; consumerism and all available resources; these are being used today against the Venezuelans, with the intent of ripping the ideas of Bolivar and Martí to shreds.
The empire has created conditions conducive to violence and internecine conflicts. On Chavez's recent visit last November 21, I seriously discussed with him the risks of assassination as he is constantly out in the open in convertible vehicles. I said this because of my experience as a combatant trained in the use of an automatic weapon and a telescopic sight. Likewise, after the triumph, I became the target of assassination plots directly or indirectly ordered by almost every

The weeks and months following that date may very well prove to be extremely tough for many countries, Cuba for one; although before that the empire's adventures could lead the planet into an atomic war, as their own leaders have confessed.
Our compatriots can rest assured that I have had time to think and to meditate at length on these problems.

I am back into climbing again since 2011 after being retired from the sport for 15 yrs. Back in the 80's the 'general consensus' of what we were taught by our climbing instructors were that rap rings were not to be trusted even as good as their 'ratings' were - and that even multiple slings thru a rap ring could lead to disastrous results should the ring fail. What is the current consensus on this today? Would it be better to rap thru multiple slings versus multiple slings with a rap ring? Prob sound like a stupid question - but we were always taught that the 'safety chain' was only as strong - or weak - as it's links. ???
Welcome back. Same rules as before. Practice redundancy and you will live. Steve
Good for you on getting back to climbing. Unless the ring shows significant wear they are just fine to rappel off of.
1 rap ring...bad. 2, through good slings... just fine. I will rap off of 1 good steel quick link, if its connected to 2 pieces or through at least 2 slings. You don't wanna put the rope just through the slings unless you have to - whats it going to do to them (and the next party) when you pull the rope? Leave a biner on the slings and go through that.
Well...there are rap rings, and there are rap rings. I generally will double up if they are the old thin (rolled) aluminum rings, but am fine with the beefier variety (that's not to say I haven't rapped on a single old aluminum ring...it just made me nervous). Bottom line though is a personal choice, whatever you feel comfortable with...cuz it's you on the line (no pun intended). (edited to clarify type of old rap rings I meant)
modern rings (omega pac, smc) are forged aluminum (not rolled like the old sketchy ones you remember) and are rated to 22kn. They are VERY safe and more than fine to rappel on. the old rolled ones are usually doubled up in most climbing areas or they've been replaced (or backed up) with quicklinks (also safe). if you don't trust any of that, leave a locking carabiner- dont rap on just the slings. doing this endangers any parties rappelling after you, as one pull of the rope could severely damage all the slings around a tree, rendering it a death trap for a party not savy enough to check the slings before they weight them.
I have two of the SMC rap rings, they are rated 22kn on the ring and are small enough that a knot won't pass through them (Much small ID than rap rings of Ye Olde times). I've never used them and they have never left the gear box in my garage. If I were building a permanent anchor and needed a ring I'd just use a quick link.
OK thanks - sounds good. Yes - even 'back then' (my instructors were Don Mellor and Jim Cunningham) taught us that pulling your rope thru the sling(s) will 'burn' and damage them and thus be quite suspect afterward - which is why I wouldn't be keen on doing so. Thanks...will have to get a few rings to add to my rack, etc.
I would say consensus is that the cheap rolled rings need to go away every chance we get. Like said, there are better options now.
Gonna have to once again go with a... WOW!
This post has some great timing. I have seen some funny things done with rap rings (and chains for that matter) on the more accessible crags we take our groups climbing. Its my opinion, that it seems that with the increased use of gyms, climbers are less educated and less critical thinking of and about anchor systems. Where do people stand on top roping on the rap rings or chains? I would like to be clear we don't and I never would. I know the wearing would be increased, and if they are solid aluminum rap rings seem to be rated as strong as a normal carabiner. What are chains rated?
Around here (Ontario), and almost every other place I've climbed, you don't tr directly off of any fixed gear. Rig it with your own slings and lockers or draws and tr off that.
