MELBOURNE, Australia, June 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Global corporate issuers will seek an estimated $60 trillion in new debt and refinancing through 2018, with the majority of that growth and its attendant risks concentrated in the Asia-Pacific region, according to a report published today by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. The report, titled "Credit Shift: As Global Corporate Borrowers Seek $60 Trillion, Asia-Pacific Debt Will Overtake U.S. And Europe Combined," suggests some future financial stress could stem from Asia., as China and its neighbors widen their lead over the U.S. and Europe as the largest group of corporate borrowers in the world.
In a related report, titled "Global Bank Disintermediation Continues As Corporate Borrowing Needs Outpace Banks' Capacity," Standard & Poor's Ratings Services projects that disintermediation, or the increased reliance on debt securities instead of bank loans for financing, will grow 3.5%, or nearly $3.1 trillion, by 2018.
"The emergence of China as the biggest group of corporate borrowers, moderately increasing bank disintermediation, and faster debt growth in sectors related to the growing global middle class are likely to drive global corporate debt issuance over the next four years," said Jayan Dhru, Global Head of Corporate Ratings at Standard & Poor's Ratings Services.
"The U.S. continues on the path to economic recovery while the Eurozone struggles with marginal growth, but the bottom line is that this is a China story. Higher risk for China's borrowers means higher risk for the world."
Specifically, we compared China's corporate borrowers to their global peers among more than 8,500 listed global companies (data source: S&P Capital IQ). We found that while China's corporate companies started 2009 better off than global peers, their cash flow and leverage have worsened in subsequent years.
From a funding perspective, fast-growing economies such as China and Brazil, which still rely heavily on their banking systems for funding, may experience more rapid disintermediation than mature financial markets unless they receive fresh capital injections into their banking systems.
Although we expect a moderate increase in disintermediation in Europe amid sluggish corporate loan demand, we expect wide variations within the continent. The U.K. could experience a steady increase in disintermediation because of banks' reduced lending capacity and an increase in corporate financing needs.

Ever since Zora Arkus-Duntov reimagined the Corvette as a sports car powered with Chevy's then-new small block V8 engine, the Corvette has been about being faster and handling better than ordinary cars. Duntov then created a whole series of special high-performance Corvettes that rose above the run of standard 'Vettes. The 2011 Corvette Z06 is heir to that tradition, and keeps the faith of the Corvette as a true Supercar.
So, What's A Corvette Z06?
Here are the basics you need to know about Corvettes in the modern era – a base model 2011 Corvette comes with a 430-horsepower, 424 pound-foot 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, dubbed the LS3. You can bump that to 436 horsepower by selecting the option for the sport exhaust. That Corvette costs about $50,000 (give or take) in brand new condition. A Corvette Grand Sport runs about $6,000 more, and offers the same engine, but with the upgraded suspension and brakes from the Z06.
Now the Z06 starts about $75,000, but it's tough to find one outfitted the way you want it for less than about $80,000. You get the 505 horsepower 7.0-liter LS7 engine with 470 pound-feet of torque, plus those upgraded suspension pieces and brakes. What you don't get is a convertible top – the Z06 is available only in coupe form, with a nice big hatch-opening rear window.
Riding the halo above the Z06 is the Corvette ZR1, with 639 horsepower from its supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 engine. With the ZR1, you get some different bodywork and an even sportier suspension and brake setup. You can also buy an optional Z07 package for your Z06 if you want the body, suspension, brake, and wheel upgrades of the ZR1 on your Z06. You'll pay about $110,000 for a basic ZR1, however, so there's a pretty steep ticket price for that ride.
OK, so now you know where the Z06 lives in the Olympian pantheon of modern Corvettes. What you're asking yourself right now is probably "is it worth the money?" or "how can I afford one of these?" Well, I can address the first question, but not really the second. We have other Guides for that, though.
Is a Corvette Z06 Worth The Money?
To be honest, there's not much new about the 2011 Corvette Z06 compared to the last 5 years of Z06 models, and the 2012 model year is almost upon us. But even the 2012 model will have only the tiniest of incremental changes as Chevy prepares for the C7-era Corvette in 2013 or 2014. But if you're going to have the same-old same-old, you might as well have it in Z06 form, with 505 horsepower, a 6-speed manual transaxle, and all the fantastic goodies that come in a new Corvette.
You'll pay about $80,000 for a new Corvette Z06. That's a lot of money, about $30,000 more than a basic Corvette. Put another way, that's $400 for each one of the 75 additional horsepower you get with the Z06. For most of us, a car with 430 horsepower is a big step up from the family grocery getter in the first place, and it will take a while before that level of power looks ho-hum. So it's important to look at the pros and cons of stepping up to the Z06.
Pros & Cons
- 505 horsepower. You really can tell the difference, and the Z06 suspension and brakes set this car even further apart from the ordinarily fast LS3 Corvette.
- Lightweight chassis and bodywork. OK, so saving 136 pounds over a regular Corvette by using hydroformed aluminum chassis components and a composite of balsa wood and carbon fiber may not even account for the weight of your passenger, but come on, you love the idea of it!
- Fuel Economy. I know, you're wondering what I'm thinking. But the basic Corvette gets 16/26 MPG, and the Z06 gets 15/24 MPG. So it's not like you're sacrificing your green bona fides by stepping up to the Z06. Let's be real - your green street cred was long gone the moment you started shopping for a Corvette.
- Nifty Z06 badges on the side of the car tell the whole world that your 'Vette is the real deal - translate that 7.0-liter number into good old fashioned engine terms and you come up with 427 cubic inches - a magic number among Corvette lovers.
- Engine heat. In the weekend I spent driving around the Z06, I was unfortunate enough to get caught in a couple classic Southern California slow-n-go traffic jams, and the amount of heat that comes up through the floor and center tunnel is impressive. You will have to run the air conditioner in warm weather, because rolling down the window just won't cut it, and I doubt you have to run the heater in cold weather. Sacrificing a little extra weight for some heavy-duty heat shielding would be a good investment.
- Occasionally I'd go for a 1-2 shift and hit 4th gear. Clearly I was not the first to experience this, because Chevy has a bright friendly "1->4" dash light that illuminates to say "You should have bought an automatic, chump." I'm sure that this would not happen after the first week of owning a Z06, however. People just get used to the idiosyncracies of their cars in a few days.
- OK, come to think of it, I can't think of any other cons. In a long weekend zooming all over Southern California in the Z06, I had no complaints apart from my sweaty legs - and the air conditioning took care of that in no time, even over a sweltering August weekend. If there's one thing the General knows how to do, it's make an AC system that works.
The Corvette Z06 on the Road
The Z06 has a firm, taut chassis and suspension - make no mistake, you're getting the streetable version of a Corvette Racing car. This is not the car to buy if your wife or girlfriend likes to put on makeup while you're driving around. This car is really all business.
The engine power is nicely managed in the Z06 - you get one exhaust note if you drive in a mellow fashion, using the first third of accelerator pedal travel, but then the sound changes along with the entire demeanor of the car if you push past that first third into performance territory. The thrum of the 7-liter V8 changes to a roar, and the car just takes off. You'll have your hands full just getting up through the gears, and it's easy to find yourself going seriously extralegal speeds without even trying too hard.
The brakes on the Z06 are firm and respond well to modulation - you can be subtle with your foot in this car, and finesse the brakes for weight transfer or serious stopping power. Outside of a race track, I doubt you could ever get these brakes to fade.
In a long weekend of driving, I never got tired of being the Corvette Z06 - although I will admit that in the long freeway traffic jams, it would have been nice to just push the gear selector to "D" and inch along by letting my foot off the brake! The clutch in the Z06 is a serious piece of hardware! But the interior was nice - Chevrolet has clearly listened to complaints about prior years' interiors on the Corvette. The Z06 has a nice stereo, and the hatch rear window works well for access to a spacious trunk area. That's all you need in a sports car, right?
The bottom line on the Corvette Z06 is just this - $80,000, 505 horsepower, killer good looks, great handling in a true sports car. You're either going to like that or not.

The woman fired as Minot City Attorney late Friday says her dismissal was illegal under city codes and state laws.
Colleen Auer was fired just before 5-pm on Friday afternoon.
She was given a one-line letter from the interim city manager saying she was being terminated immediately.
Auer says the manager, the city human resources director, chief of police, and one other police officer were in her office when the firing happened.
She says the city manager told her it was the decision of the city council to dismiss her.
But Auer cites the city code saying the city manager must consult with the city council before removing a department head such as the city attorney.
And the city council has not held a meeting since April 7th, when Auer had been on the job for one week.
Auer says attorney general's opinions show that the words "the city council" mean a vote by a majority of council members present at a properly-publicized meeting with a quorum present.
Auer says she is requesting - this morning - proof from the city of a council meeting where a vote was taken to fire her.
She says she is also hoping to meet with the state attorney general today to make an open meeting complaint.
In addition, both had recently been released from state prison.
A two-year-old child was killed by a hit-and-run driver in Minot Sunday evening.
They ask if you have any information about the incident that you contact them at 852-0111.

The case against the SF8 is a frame up based on torture-induced "confessions" and fabricated evidence. The same case was thrown out of court 30 years ago but was revived after 9/11 with money from Homeland Security. After two and a half long years, the preliminary hearing is finally starting on June 8 and is expected to last for three months. The hearing will determine whether or not the SF 8 will go to trial.

New York Giants
Michael Jasper - G
|6' 4"/ 375 lbs.
|Mount Juliet, TN
|Bethel (TN)
|Years played
|2011, 7th round, 42nd pick by Bills
Pierre-Paul is the draft's biggest risk
Giants GM Jerry Reese continued his penchant for gambling, selecting the biggest boom-or-bust prospect in the draft, DE Jason Pierre-Paul, writes PFW's Eric Edholm.
2010 draft choices by team: Giants
Here are the players who were chosen by the New York Giants in the 2010 NFL draft.
Giants say Feagles might not punt again
Giants head coach Tom Coughlin and GM Jerry Reese indicated that P Jeff Feagles thinks he might not be physically able to play another year.
Reese's stamp is all over Giants' draft
Each year, GM Jerry Reese has continued to take risks, but calculated, high-reward risks that continue to add talent to a good Giants roster.
Giants' defense will be tested early
The Giants and new coordinator Perry Fewell know that they will face two tough, but very different, challenges to open next season in the run-heavy Panthers and the passing-proficient Colts.
Giants' Reese once again goes with big upside
Jerry Reese learned from Ernie Accorsi that you can never pass on pure pass rushers. They are just too rare. Thus, the selection of Jason Pierre-Paul should shock no one.
Giants may surprise with offensive pick
Although most pundits expect the Giants to draft a middle linebacker with their first-round pick, the whispers we're hearing indicate that an offensive player, such as TE Jermaine Gresham, wouldn't be a shocking choice.
Giants sign ex-Seahawks S Grant
The Giants have added some insurance at safety with ex-Seahawk Deon Grant, which seems to suggest that the Giants are not expecting to have a healthy Kenny Phillips to start the season.
Giants re-sign veteran P Feagles
Veteran P Jeff Feagles signed a new contract with the Giants on Thursday, ensuring the 44-year-old will play his 23rd NFL season in 2010.
Giants' Coughlin expects Umenyiora to compete
Tom Coughlin made strong comments last month, saying he wasn't prepared to guarantee a starting job to DE Osi Umenyiora, but Umenyiora has responded positively, Coughlin said.
Giants say Umenyiora can earn his spot
DE Osi Umenyiora wasn't happy with his role in the Giants' defense last season, a unit that clearly underachieved. Will he be happy when next season rolls around? Stay tuned.
Giants sign Sorgi to back up Eli
The Giants announced that QB Jim Sorgi, who has been Peyton Manning's backup for the past six seasons, now will compete to be the No. 2 behind Eli Manning in New York.
Rams sign ex-Giants DT Robbins
The Rams have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with free-agent DT Fred Robbins, a key cog in the Giants' defense during their 2007 run to the Super Bowl.
Report: 49ers sign QB Carr
The 49ers have reached a contract agreement with QB David Carr, The (Newark, N.J.) Star-Ledger is reporting, quoting Carr's agent, Mike Sullivan.
Signing of Rolle speaks volumes about Phillips
The Giants appeared upbeat on the subject of FS Kenny Phillips' health at the Indianapolis Combine. But their signing of free-agent FS Antrel Rolle suggests there might be a problem there.
The Titans signed Jasper on Wednesday.||||||| The 6-foot-4, 375-pound Jasper was on Buffalo's practice last season and on the active roster for the final week. A seventh-round draft pick out of Bethel, Jasper is a native of Mount Juliet, Tenn.
The Buffalo Bills have released offensive lineman and former seventh-round pick Jasper three weeks into training camp.||||||| Listed at 6-foot-4 and 375 pounds, Jasper spent much of his rookie season last year on the Bills practice squad before being activated for the final game. Jasper was regarded as a raw, untested talent, when the Bills took a slight gamble in drafting him out of Tennessee's Bethel University with their second of two seventh-round picks.

Dollar Cost Averaging
Pay Yourself Regularly and Save
Imagine going through your monthly bills and you come across a peculiar one labeled "Me." Why should this be considered odd? After all – from your phone bill to your mortgage payment – it seems you pay everyone else but yourself! With dollar cost averaging, you can add "you" to the monthly recipients of your money, and build your retirement savings.
A disciplined savings strategy
Paying yourself regularly isn't really such a foreign concept. Many of us already commit to saving a specified amount each month; although if you're like most, you're probably not as disciplined about it as you'd like. You may save some months, and save nothing at all other months. There's a simpler approach that allows you to save regularly, while investing for your future. It's called dollar cost averaging.
With dollar cost averaging, you invest a fixed amount of money on a regular basis – typically through payroll deductions that go directly into your employer-sponsored retirement plan. You invest the same amount, at the same interval, whether the market is up or down. So when prices are high, you buy fewer shares; and when they're low, you buy more shares.
The best time to invest: All the time
Dollar cost averaging is a long-term investment strategy that can actually help keep you on track – whether market prices are rising, falling, or fluctuating. In a rising market, for example, the ideal situation is to buy at the beginning, when securities prices are at their lowest. The difficulty, however, lies in identifying the beginning point. If you buy at the wrong time, you could end up paying a higher price per share, which could cut into your profits when the investment is finally sold.
Using dollar cost averaging, you don't have to worry about trying to time the market because you're always investing the same amount. By regularly investing smaller amounts over a longer period of time, you can potentially lower your average cost per share. It can also help cushion the effects of wide price swings, while lowering the long-term cost of investing.
In a rising market, your $100 buys fewer shares as the price increases…
In a falling market, that same $100 buys more shares as the price declines…
And, when markets fluctuate, so will the number of shares you'll be able to buy with your $100 investment…
Total amount invested: $600
Total amount invested: $600
Total amount invested: $600
Getting the best deal
The three charts on this page show how dollar cost averaging can help you save by consistently using a $100 a month investment, over a six-month period, in rising, falling, and fluctuating markets.
Looking more closely at the fluctuating markets example, over six months, your $600 investment would have allowed you to purchase 86 shares at an average cost per share of $6.98. But if you calculated the average market price per share over that same period ($7.17), it would have cost you $616.62 to buy those same shares (or 19 cents more per share) had you not made regular investments using dollar cost averaging.
Over a period of years, this strategy can potentially have a significant impact on your retirement saving strategy.
Pay yourself regularly and save
Dollar cost averaging cannot guarantee a profit or prevent losses in declining and volatile markets. However, it offers a simple investment strategy that allows you to remain invested regardless of market conditions, while it also offers you a way to pay yourself regularly, while potentially saving on your investments. To learn more about dollar cost averaging and how to make the most of your retirement savings plan, contact your ING representative.
You should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses of the variable product and its underlying fund options; or mutual funds offered through a retirement plan, carefully before investing. The prospectuses/prospectus summaries/information booklets contain this and other information, which can be obtained by contacting your local representative. Please read the information carefully before investing.

Should I Worry About a Heart Murmur?
Expert Advice
Q. During a recent checkup, my doctor told me I have a heart murmur. Should I be worried?
Dr. Marianne Legato: Most patients are quite alarmed when their doctor tells them they have a heart murmur -- and usually unnecessarily so. A "heart murmur" is the sound a physician hears through her stethoscope. It is caused by rough or turbulent blood flow. This can be due to any one of several things.
One cause is a problem with one of the valves that allow blood to flow from one chamber of the heart to the next without backflow. Guiding blood in the right direction is achieved by an ingenious system of these valves, each of which opens to allow blood to flow forward and then closes to ensure that that blood does not leak backward into the chamber from which it has just come.
In the normal heart, the delicate leaflets of tissue that make up the valve -- as thin as tissue paper -- open and close smoothly and completely -- like swinging doors that guard the entrance to a store. If those leaflets are thickened, as they are in older people or in people who have had some injury to the valve (like rheumatic fever, for example), they do not open completely (or may not close snugly) and the smooth flow of blood is disturbed, creating a unique sound that your doctor learns to interpret. The most expert physicians are able to tell simply by listening which valve is involved, and what is wrong with it.
Another common cause of turbulent blood flow has nothing to do with inadequate or diseased heart valves. Sometimes either the speed of blood flowing through the heart or the volume of blood passing through it is increased. These conditions create turbulence -- a lot like a stream after a heavy rain that races and foams along its course, or a car that races along a road at high speed. These are things that we expect to happen in pregnancy (when blood volume increases) or with fevers (when the speed at which blood flows through our heart increases). Other temporary -- and treatable -- conditions that cause heart murmurs are anemia and hyperthyroidism. Some murmurs are simply "innocent" or "functional"; many young people have soft murmurs that are not of any consequence because they are simply the result of the vigorous beating of their hearts. These are more apparent in thin people.

New technology used by police agencies to quickly scan license plates leaves the door open for people's movements to be pieced together and tracked.
The software is growing in popularity, and is being utilized by law enforcement nationwide.
"They're tracking everyone who drives by. And they can track thousands of license plates per minute," says Anjali Abraham with the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona.
License plate readers began as a way for police to more quickly search for stolen vehicles and wanted individuals from vehicles spotted near the vicinity of a crime.
A stealthily mounted camera on a patrol car scans and photographs all license plates within its field of vision. That photograph is then decoded and fed into a computer system to see if the license plate generates a "hit" that the vehicle may be connected to a crime.
Privacy advocates are becoming increasingly concerned, however, because all the photographs taken by the license plate scanning cameras are uploaded and saved to computer servers. Those pictures, in some cases, contain the GPS coordinates of where the snapshot was captured. Additionally, if the camera angle is a wider shot than the license plate, people near the vehicle are being captured on camera as well.
The ACLU of Arizona filed a number of public records requests with Valley police agencies to find out more about the license plate scanning software and how it is being utilized.
Phoenix police report having around two million photographs in a database where they will stay for seven years after they are taken.
"The tracking of people's private movements and private activities is a serious invasion of our privacy rights," says Abraham. "Maybe you're going somewhere that you don't want the government knowing about. Maybe you're not. But the choice should be yours to decide whether or not your private information stays private."
The ACLU of Arizona plans to encourage local law enforcement to implement policies that would soundly protect the privacy of law-abiding citizens whose license plates are being photographed.
The group can do little, however, about the proliferation of similar software now being utilized increasingly by commercial entities.
Companies are now offering their clients access to a privately managed database that claims to have more than one billion vehicle sightings.
Realizing that the information could be used for nefarious purposes if it were to fall into the wrong hands, representatives with the online investigative systems company TLO say access to the system is extremely limited.
"We do not offer our services to consumers. We have an extremely rigid vetting process that entities must go through to gain access to the system," says Senior TLO Vice President James Reilly.
Reilly says the Vehicle Sighting database is not marketed as a standalone investigative tool, but is a component of its TLOxp product.
"(TLOxp is for) law enforcement, investigation within the insurance and financial sectors, corporate risk assessment fraud and risk security, et cetera," said Reilly.
Reilly says the database TLO uses for the license plate records does not come from law enforcement records.
A private company makes that information available to TLO by collecting license plate photographs on its own, from cameras placed on other vehicles, at intersections, on overpasses and other locations, similar to the Google Street View program.

More reason to celebrate for Creech St Michael Couple Eric and Peggy
4:10pm Wednesday 2nd January 2013 in News
THIS Christmas and New Year was tinged with a diamond celebration for one couple - after they notched up 60 years of marriage.
Eric and Peggy Cartwright, from Creech St Michael tied the knot of December 20 in 1952 at St Bartholomew's Church in Crewkerne as the pair lived their when they were younger.
Eric, 85, worked for the electricity board, while Peggy, 84, worked in a shirt factory, before they both moved to the Taunton area in 1984.
They celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary with a surprise party at Creech St Michael village hall set up by daughter Jane.
Peggy said: "We have had our ups and downs but we always sort it out and we have lived a wonderful life.
"It was a lovely surprise party and a shock when we got a letter from The Queen too."
Peggy is also known in the area for her commitments at the village short mat bowls club and the women's institute.

Raising a Reader
Reading aloud to your kids is one way to foster a love of books, but there are more creative ways to introduce them to the wonder of words than settling down with a bedtime story each evening. Try these ideas from Kathy A. Zahler, author of 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Raise a Child Who Loves to Read (Arco, 1997):
Make reading come alive. Was your child intrigued by the elephants at the zoo, or by an exhibit at the science museum? Then find related books that feed his or her curiosity.
Make reading entertaining. Watch for scheduled readings by children's authors at local bookstores, and take your child. Also show your kids that sharing what they read can be fun. Have your child choose a scene from a play or book, then act it out together; encourage her to read a funny comic strip aloud.
Make reading accessible. Establish a cozy place for reading in your home, and reward good deeds with books, comics or magazines instead of candy or money. Also, give your child a subscription to a magazine edited for kids -- there are many terrific ones.

Banks' Double-Double Leads Eagles to Second Straight Win
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU men's basketball team picked up its second straight win with a 64-53 victory over Stetson on Wednesday night at Alico Arena. Freshman Anthony Banks led the Eagles with 21 points and ten rebounds, his fourth double-double of the season.
With the win FGCU improves to 7-13 and 4-7 in the A-Sun, while the Hatters drop to 5-14 and 3-8 in the A-Sun.
The Eagles jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the game's first 3:34, including layups from Derrick O'Neil (Moreno Valley, Calif.) and Anthony Banks (Lantana, Fla.). After Stetson cut the lead to two (12-10, 12:35), the Blue and Green rattled off 10 straight points to take a 22-10 lead with 6:12 left in the first half. Banks would cap the first half with a pair of layups, giving FGCU a 31-20 advantage at intermission.
Banks' scoring streak continued as he accounted for the Eagles' first five points out of the locker room. Including his four points at the end of the first half, Banks scored nine straight FGCU points over a span of 4:07.
Hunter Miller (Nashville, Tenn.) made a perfect behind-the-back pass to Banks with 15:58 to play for an easy layup, giving the Eagles a 15-point lead (39-24). The Blue and Green would score just two points over the next 5:47, allowing the Hatters to whittle the lead down to just seven points (41-34) with 10:11 left in regulation.
The Eagles would again extend the lead to double-digits after Reed Baker's (Naples, Fla.) three with 8:22 remaining, putting FGCU in front 49-38. Stetson would cut the lead to just five points (55-50) after Mark Lohuis' three-pointer with 3:14 on the clock. However, Banks would go on yet another scoring streak landing three straight layups to put the Blue and Green ahead 61-51 with 1:11 remaining in the game, and securing a 64-53 win for the Eagles.
FGCU was led by Banks who recorded his fourth double-double of the year with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Banks also shot 9-of-12 from the field and 3-of-4 from the charity stripe. Baker added 19 points including 4-of-6 from behind the arc, and O'Neil collected 10 boards to go along with seven points.
Ridge Graham led the Hatters with 14 points and six boards while A.J. Smith added 10 points.
FGCU hits the road for a pair of A-Sun games this weekend, beginning with a visit to Kennesaw State on Saturday, January 30, at 7:30 p.m. Then on Monday, February 1, the Blue and Green travel to Macon, Ga., as they take on the Bears of Mercer University in a game scheduled for a 9 p.m. tip. The Mercer game can also be seen live in Southwest Florida on CSS (Comcast channel 70).
The Eagles land back at home on Thursday, February 4, for a doubleheader against the Buccaneers of ETSU. Tip-off for the women's game is set for 5:15 p.m.

Lindale firefighters were joined this morning by officials from all over East Texas as they ran to raise money for injured firefighter Joe Yeakley.
Yeakley was seriously hurt on January 17 when a roof collapsed on him at an early morning house fire. He is still recovering at a Dallas hospital.
The Lindale Volunteer Fire Department says today's fundraiser was much bigger than they expected. A student from Kilgore College and the Kilgore Fire Academy was the first firefighter to cross the finish line.
"It's all about supporting the people who get injured in this job and it's a dangerous job. When one person gets injured we all need to kind of pull together to help them out," Mallory Roe said.
Aaron Munn with Lindale VFD says today's benefit was Yeakley's friend's idea and the community pulled together to make it possible in just a short amount of time.
"Seeing all of the firefighters come from all over Texas just proves that the fire service is a true family," Munn said. "The community has turned out for every event and seeing them come together for Joe gives me a little more encouragement to continue doing what we're doing for him."
More than 400 people participated in today's 5k run, raising around $10,000 for Joe Yeakley and his family.

A word from Aldea
In May 2009, Chef George Mendes opened Aldea in Manhattan's Flatiron neighborhood. Named after the Spanish word for village, the restaurant's menu is inspired by the Iberian Peninsula and Mendes' heritage. The chef adds a modern, seasonal approach to create a menu perfectly balanced between rusticity and refinement.Continued

- Great ChoiceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/29/2014My wife and I were looking for a nice dinning experience and found Aldeas. Great choice! Friendly and food was amazing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good but not as edgey as when newKwdinerVIPDined on 8/23/2014Our second visit here after several years when it was new. Seems to have lost the edgey vibe and energy. Wine list not kept current - they were out of our first selection. Server was not at all familiar with list - for a 1 star I was surprised. The wine person on duty simply pointed at other " popular" bottles without really trying to pair with food choices - never even asked about what we'd be eating which was disappointing at this restaurant. Food was delicious but the wine choice experience subpar. Also the bare tables - seemed wrong and I don't recall that from when it was new.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun dinner in NYCWinedinnerVIPDined on 8/14/2014Interesting, eclectic Mediterranean menu. Great service and small but very well chosen wine list. The open kitchen is great. Would definitely come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OUtstandingRolstoDined on 8/9/2014From start to finish, an exceptional meal with impeccable service. We did the tasting and wine pair (and a beer thrown in too with the octopus course), and we loved the entire presentation.Special Features:
- It was fine.meandhetravelDined on 8/9/2014Service was terrific, the tables are small for serious eaters, the space is nice. Bacalao croquettes were very smooth but benign. Squid ala plancha was gooey/pasty and we didn't care for the overpowering sauce with the grilled octopus. Scallops were very nice, excellent hen of the woods mushrooms. Smoked trout was prepared perfectly but the confit potatoes were so bland and unsalted - it could have been a perfect dish, The thinly slice apples added a fresh, interesting, crunch. Very nice, reasonably priced wine list. Everything was original and the thought behind it evident, not always well executed, generally lacking salt and texture. We really appreciated the quality of the service. So much potential here to be a great restaurant.
- Loved it!mnkyboyVIPDined on 8/9/2014We did the tasting menu with wine pairing & everything was delicious!! The staff really took care of us!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Very friendly, they work as a team to ensure our table was clean between each course, our drinks ready. The food was fantastic drinks were really good. I didn't think it was pricey a little over $300 for four celebrating a birthday is very good to me. Food range from $8 snacks to $30 dinner. Overall, I loved it and would go again for sure.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- GastonSingeVIPDined on 8/8/2014The octopus appetizer was really good. The rest of the food (shrimp appetizer, Arroz De Pato, etc) was kind of bland and uninteresting. Very surprising given what we had read about the place. Not likely to return nor to recommend to others. Service was strangely rushed although the manager was quite responsive to this issue.
- Good, but not a good valuenjsfDined on 8/8/2014The shrimp appetizer was ok, a tad too garlicky and I did not care for the saffron sprigs. The duck rice deconstruction from the traditional dish did not deliver. The rice had an unpleasant acidic aftertaste, the chouriço slivers were minuscule and crackling instead of the traditional moist and flavorful and generous. The duck itself was very nicely done a good departure from the traditional twice cooked breast. The codfish was the most disappointing dish, as it was bland and the charred corn did not balance the dish.
- Five course / Five StarsRobbobVIPDined on 8/7/2014My special occasion was made extra special by the exceptional cuisine we enjoyed at Aldea. We ordered the prefix five course menu and enjoyed it along with the two additional tastings offered by the kitchen. At every turn there was a new experience in taste. Each dish was a complete surprise to the senses. Aldea helped ensure that my special occasion was not only special, but memorable as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AwesomeGeobehDined on 8/2/2014Excellent food, service and atmosphere. No doubt I will be backSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always A FanJay89Dined on 8/1/2014Aldea is deserving of its accolades by having the makings of every great restaurant. By each natural restaurant dimension they perform well. The Mediterranean cuisine is thoughtfully and carefully prepared and the flavors are wonderful. Have been several times and expect to do the tasting sometime in the future when the time is available.Special Features:
- Outstanding!ElaineVIPDined on 7/30/2014Aldea is a jewel of a restaurant. The decor is sophisticated, spare and easy on the eye. The food is a delight. The noise level is such that four people can converse over dinner as though at home, i.e., mercifully quiet. I had the scallops, my husband had the delicious gazpacho and lamb shoulder, I don't recall what our friends ate, but we all had clean plates by dinners end and were well beyond happy and satisfied. With the exception of our waiter, the wait staff could not have been nicer. He had an unfortunate personality being officious when asked a question. He was the only clunker in an otherwise sterling evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Hidden gem in ManhattanrestaurantmavenDined on 7/30/2014The cooking by Aldea chef George Mendes rivals that of the "big deal" restaurants in town that are impossible to get into. He is awesomely talented and the preparations his kitchen turns out are delicious -- you want to stop talking and savor every single bite.Special Features:
- Amazing and delicious!cmbuDined on 7/25/2014From the hostesses to our server and everyone in between the service was outstanding. Food was delicious and we were so glad we went for the pix-fixe menu. Great cocktails and loved the Portuguese and Spanish wine selections. Sat at the chef's counter and had a wonderful time! We will definitely return!Special Features:

- Simply amazingMunchi8Dined on 7/17/2014Came here with a friend on a Thursday evening, received the best seat in the house (chef's counter). I personally love the open kitchen concept, enjoyed watching the chefs work their magic. Every dish was nothing short of amazing. I have to say my fave was the Spanish octopus. The buttery uni will melt in your mouth, indulge in a beautifully plated Portguese sardines, warming up to a generous portion entree wild stripe bass (thumbs up) and their signature sea salt Chatham cod, can't forget the scrambled eggs with bacalao(innovation at its best). Dont forget to check out the dessert menu, to all the yuzu lovers please try the honey sponge cake. Had a fantastic evening at Aldea would definitely come back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent imaginative and uniqueDazzled1VIPDined on 7/17/2014Everything we ordered from the unique gazpacho twist , to sea urchin toast , to the amazing custard tartlets to finish the meal was first rate !Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of a kind experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/17/2014Went here for my girlfriends birthday. Aldea exceeded every expectation. The service was outstanding. The food and presentation was top notch. Not one dish on the tasting menu was less than perfect. Great cocktails and wine selection with a knowledgable staff.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Alert re $75 prix fixe dinnerWestchesterFoodieDined on 7/14/2014Be careful about ordering the $75 4-course prix fixe dinner. Depending on what you choose for each course, it may cost less to order the same choices a la carte. Of our two prix fixe dinners, one would have been $77 a la carte but the other would have been $71. Desserts were spectacular.Special Features:
- Another excellent mealKim1VIPDined on 7/11/2014With a table for four. Service and food all of the highest standard.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect EveningElaineDined on 7/11/2014We needed a place near Union Square to meet some friends so we could talk and get better acquainted. We got our reservation same day for Friday night, and the whole experience great. The most remarkable thing about the restaurant was that it was quiet enough that we 4 50-somethings could hear through the whole 2 and 1/2 hour dinner even when 2 large parties were seated by us an hour in. The food was delicious--extraordinary bread, lovely mussel soup, trout, diver scallops and arroz con pato all outstanding. The flan and sherbet desserts also excellent: the flan brought an unusual twist to this old standard and delighted us. The decor was subdued but lovely, and contributed to our sense of calm and rest at the end of the work week.Special Features:
- My best meal in NYC!Lablover123VIPDined on 7/9/2014The flavors of each dish were just outstanding! The food was beautifully presented, served and absolutely divine. I'd give this place 10 thumbs up!Special Features:
- Another wonderful dinner at Aldea..KenBVIPDined on 7/5/2014My wife and I have had another wonderful dinner at Aldea. I ordered by usual 2 eggs as a pre-appetizer and the octopus as an appetizer. For my entree, I had the lamb and treated myself to scoops of brunt bread ice cream and pear and orange blood carrot sherbet for dessert.

We had the Chef's Tasting Menu, which was excellent. That way, we were exposed to the variety of his food. All of the courses displayed his creativity. The seafood reminded us of the Italian feast of seven fishes. This is the Portugal version. The duck breast was also excellent. The pre-dessert and the dessert were delicious. The service was superb. The restaurant was very quiet, which we like. They knew it was my birthday and they showed that at dessert time by inscribing Happy Birthday on my plate and inserting a candle in my dessert. A perfect dinner!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent serviceerobithaDined on 7/1/2014We were visiting whilst on vacation, having found out this restaurant had acquired a Michelin star. We weren't disappointed with the quality of the food or service. We found the staff attentive and well-mannered. We had the set menu and were very satisfied. Standout dishes were the Sea Urchin on Toast, Pork Belly & Duck confit.Special Features:

- $450 dinner for two. And worth it!ValueHunterVIPDined on 6/30/2014We had our first dinner at Aldea on a Monday evening at 6 PM. We had the Chef's Tasting menu and wine paring. With tax/tip, the bill came to a bit over $450. But, we both agreed that it was a wonderful and memorable meal and, while tres expensive, we thought it was worth it. Months later, we still talk about it. We sat at the counter looking into the kitchen so we could watch the action. We watched how each of the eight dishes made their respective way from prep station to prep station. Many of the dishes involved seafood and we saw our trout being open grilled, the octopus torched and the oysters opened. It was fascinating and engrossing. Each dish was a tiny masterpiece. We've walked by Aldea for years. Why'd we wait?Special Features:
- Very specialdps1185Dined on 6/21/2014Celebrated our 45th here with son & fiancee. Food was spectacular. Service was impeccable. Great wine list. We are coming back often.Special Features:

- An Iberian Gem!diniVIPDined on 6/18/2014How is it possible I did not know about Aldea before? This Iberian gem of a restaurant, with an open kitchen, does everything possible to please! From the amuse bouches to the final custard tarts, compliments of the chef, it was sublime. I especially loved the serrano ham and baby squid appetizers, as well as the Arroz con pato main course. Service is most attentive and the ambience is warm and friendly. Just go!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Excellent food, spoilt by serviceTraveleringFoodiesDined on 6/12/2014The food at Aldea was as good as any michelin we have been to. However, we have become accustomed to a certain level of service to compliment the food that was sadly lacking on this occasion, particularly when a 20% service few is all but mandatory. The tables were also very close together so we were able to involuntarily overhear the graphic conversation of the couple next to us. Glad we experience the food, but as one off the list we won't be hurrying back.Special Features:
- A quiet MondayOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/9/2014Went there on a quiet monday night. The service was wonderful and the food was a great mix of textures and flavors. Would go back again. A good bargin for a NYC tasting with a wine paringSpecial Features:
- WastingfoodisasinVIPDined on 6/4/2014Taste and size of foods were much more moderate than restaurants in Newark. However, it is questionable why Michelin gave a star to this restaurant. Staffs and servers were very friendly and helpful, but elegance or class or sophistication which most of highly classified restaurants have were not sensed in combination with interior and atomosphere unfortunately. Please note that this critic doesn't mean this restaurant was bad. Truly enjoyed the food and service.
- Great food at a reasonable price!Jay89Dined on 6/3/2014Loved the meal! You can get a $40 finely cooked entree or go all out with app and wine for ~100/head.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.


text: Janet Lee Living in a Nutshell House Janet Lee Shares Her Tips and Tricks For Living Fabulously in a Tiny Space by POPSUGAR Home 3/28/12 15 Reactions 6.2K Shares Print 6.2K 12 7 1 0 While many of us may dream about living in a majorly spacious home, the everyday reality is that most homes occupy a much smaller footprint — a nutshell, in Janet Lee's words. Lee, the author of the just-released Living in a Nutshell, has honed her small-space living and decorating skills over 10 years of living in tiny homes in New York. The result? A fantastic book full of decorating inspiration and tips. Covering everything from innovative storage ideas to low-cost art solutions, this book is a must read for anyone interested in living large in a small space. Keep reading for Janet's tips and a look at her own "nutshell" home! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CasaSugar: What inspired Living in a Nutshell? Janet Lee: I have lived in a series of nutshell-sized spaces measuring 750 square feet or less for over a decade and after years of trial and triumphs, I've finally finessed the art of living large in tight quarters. I wanted to share my style and storage tips with others who are space-challenged and started my design blog to reach out to the online design community. A few years ago I was moving into a brand-new rental space in lower Manhattan and I wanted to document the design process from day one. That was when [my website] Living in a Nutshell was born. 1 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: I love your delight, dazzle, and divert mantra for stylish small-space living. Can you explain what it means and give examples of how you like to achieve each? JL: Small spaces come with inherent flaws. Usually it's not just the lack of square inches that is the challenge but bad views, low light, and the absence of any architectural details. As a defense strategy, I've developed the 3-Ds. First, "delight" your guests with thoughtful and surprising details. I have hung a collection of 20 caviar tins on my kitchen wall, made chandelier light boxes that glow in my living room, and covered my filing cabinets with Louis Vuitton-inspired vinyl embedded with my own initials. People are so entertained they forget I live in a box. Second, "dazzle" them with flattering lighting and luxurious fabrics that give off a flattering glow. I mix in mirrors, mercury glass, and silks that reflect light into a space. All of my lights are on dimmers so I can create a lighting design depending on the mood and I have swapped out regular light bulbs for pink ones in my bedroom for a soft, flattering hue. Finally, "divert" any negative attention from the flaws in your tight space with whimsical decorative finishes that add levity and humor to the space. In my bathroom, I have completely covered my windows with custom-printed window clings that say, "You Look Good in That!" They are tinted a soft pink so you get that flattering glow right out of the shower when you're at your most vulnerable. You don't notice that there's not a million-dollar view to speak of. 2 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What are some splurge-worthy home items that make small spaces feel especially luxurious? JL: I am a sucker for cashmere and silk. Silk curtains drape so well and that little bit of sheen they give off makes any drab room look elegant and upgraded. To extend my shantung silk budget, I often line silk curtains with burlap so I can fill a room with it without breaking the bank. I do the same with pillows. And then there's the decorating magic that is cashmere! A little cashmere goes a long way so if you only add in a small pillow or throw, it will add warmth and sophistication to your room. I never take my cashmere to the dry cleaners. I hand wash it with Woolite and let it air dry on a towel. It extends the life of the fibers. I learned that in a fabric class at FIT. 3 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: On the flip side, is there an item that people generally splurge on that is well suited for a DIY project? JL: For me, it's pillows and ottomans. I see plain cotton pillows for over $100 and I cringe because they are so easy to make or farm out to your dry cleaners to sew up. My favorite trick is to find linen placemats that have fabric on the front and back, open up one seam for a pillow form and hand-stitch it closed. Many of the placemats are the same standard size as pillow forms. I search Homegoods, eBay, or Craigslist for castoff ottomans that are easily repainted and recovered. A staple gun or upholstery nail heads finish it off and you've got a custom piece in less than an afternoon. Tord Boontje's die-cut paper panels hung on the wall add dimension to this cookie-cutter box of a bedroom. 4 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Is there a foolproof project you can recommend for a novice DIY-er? JL: Shop for inexpensive picture frames of all sizes and paint them the same color as your wall with a high-gloss finish. Cover the wall from top to bottom with the frames randomly placed at all different heights. Feel free to use broken frames as well to add to the mix like I have done. I always go into off-price stores and look for damaged picture frames with broken glass. You can always count on a good discount. If you don't want to put holes in your wall, use repositionable 3M strips. They will hold everything securely onto the wall. The collection of salvaged frames will give any room a sense of architecture and depth. 6 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What are some eyesores that people usually avoid dealing with? What are some of your favorite resolutions for turning them into eye candy? JL: A bad view is the most common eyesore that people find hard to camouflage. With flaws, I always try to go the other direction and see how to play them up as features, not blemishes. My friend's only window looks out onto the back of brick buildings. I hung a very large, ornate Rococo-inspired picture fame (empty without glass) on a velvet ribbon from the top down to the middle of the window and now it's a whimsical feature in her room. On the extreme, my other friend's refrigerator is located in her foyer so instead of hiding it behind a curtain, I covered it with vintage milk bottle caps. Now, it's the quirky highlight everyone talks about. 6 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: What do you think the benefits of living in a small space are? JL: Living in a small space does force you to edit and focus on the furnishings, accessories, mementos, colors, and textures that matter the most. It's quality over quantity, which makes for a fulfilling life and design point of view. I always like to make the distinction that I do not aspire to live a minimal life with white walls, sparse furnishings, and one lamp. I like my creature comforts, love to layer a space with fabric and art . . . but I have gotten good at balancing statement pieces with accent pieces without making a space feel like a scene from Hoarders. An overscaled watercolor painting tricks the eye to believe a cramped foyer is bigger than it really is, but a gallery frame that size will break anyone's budget. Janet used weather stripping that comes in an array of colors and finishes. The soft rubber side of the strips holds the art in place, and the predrilled holes on the outer edge keep the strips attached to the wall with upholstery tacks. 7 / 8 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 CS: Aside from a ton of clever decorating ideas, what else do you hope readers will take away from the book? JL: I was very clear with my editor that I wanted the reader to know I was not there to lecture or judge. I am not a trained interior decorator or a Martha Stewart wannabe. I am your design buddy who has a passion for design and who has made all the big mistakes for you on the front lines so you won't have to. I want everyone reading the book to say, "I can do that!" 8 / 8 6.2K 12 7 1 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Living In A NutshellInterior Design NewsInterior DesignEditor's PickDIY DIY How to Launder Dry-Clean-Only Clothing at Home 1 hour ago Lunch Box Special: Beaker From the Muppets BLT Wraps 16 hours ago How to Create a Mason-Jar Organizer 18 hours ago Cute as a Button: 10 Cool Crafts You Can Make With Buttons 23 hours ago 18 Halloween Pinterest Fails That Will Give You a Good Scare 23 hours ago DIY Straw Vase in 5 Easy Steps 1 day ago Interior Design News The Top 10 Designers to Follow on Pinterest 2/22 This Hamptons Boutique Defines the Good Life 1/27 Exclusive Look at the Pendleton & One Kings Lane Collection! 11/14/13 Original Art You Can Afford to Try Out 11/12/13 Sneak Peek!

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him.
Psalms 127:3
Children are considered a blessing, especially in Israel and predominantly religious Jerusalem. Parents speak favorably about their offspring and on Shabbat we traditionally see fathers bless their children. Unfortunately many fathers are unable to fulfil their obligations.
The statistics on poverty in Israel speak volumes. There is an alarming rise in the number of children in the poverty figures in Israel. Particularly among religious families, which in turn makes Jerusalem the city with the highest number of children living under the poverty line.
Israel Today has been committed for many years to ensuring a quality of life for all Israeli children.
Together we will be able to step up to the plate and help poor children.
Israel actively loves her children! Israel is one of the few countries in the world continuously working to provide a safe and nurturing environment for all young people - how wonderful to see youngsters playing together in the parks without a care, their shouts and laughter filling the air on hot summer nights - or taking buses on their own to and from school and activities.
Summer vacations are packed full of interesting and exciting activities for Israel's children: summer camps focus on sports, field trips, visits to amusement parks, computer training and Israel studies, among other things. Many centers also offer day camps for young artists, musicians, dancers, crafts enthusiasts, future chefs, nature lovers and many more. Year-round opportunities for family outings in Israel abound; the Bible Lands Museum in Jerusalem, flower-watching in the Negev, the Ein Gedi Nature Reserve, Mini-Israel, even ice-skating near Luna Park in Tel Aviv, to name just a few!
A sad reality is that tens of thousands of Israeli children have families without financial means to pay for these activities. This year, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is sponsoring summer camps in 50 different communities across the country, for children from low-income families to enjoy. However, due to limited available funding, only 10,000 children from Jewish communities and about 3,000 children from the Arab sector will be able to participate in the summer program.
As an Israel Today reader, you can help some of these struggling families to make ends meet. Your gift will help them provide for their children, who are the future of Israel.
And all this summer, Israel Today will match your donation, providing a 'double blessing' to those who need it most.

The sound is just ok. I too am usually a stickler for sound, but I love the vibe/imagery of Freya/Freyja so much that I don't even care about the sound. It's such a lovely, curling-wisps-of-smoke name, and sort of magical and evening-y. I heard a little boy call his adorable redheaded sister Freya in Target the other day and was like "yes!

I love Freja/Freyja. Freja is the Danish spelling of it, so obviously that's close to my heart, but I prefer Freyja. In 2012, 514 girls were given the name Freja and it came in as #3 on the most popular names in Denmark in 2012. Freja is also the most well-known Norse goddess in Denmark.

Album Rating: 4.5Great review. Really want to hear this.
Album Rating: 4.5Listening to this now. It's kind of like a breath of fresh air. The original felt really dated (because it is to be fair.) and this sounds much better.
Album Rating: 5.0nice review. i'm so glad this got remastered. i grew up listening to this album and it's still one of my favorites today.
Usually seminal albums get flack for remastering. This one just gets better.
Album Rating: 4.5Thanks for that Irving didn't notice.
Doesn't remastering an electronic album seem pointless ?
Album Rating: 4.5Not with this one. The original really lacked any type of volume. The bass was almost unheard of and tough to hear and the synths seemed dim. The problem you have with remastering is everyone talks about "loudness wars". Where if you bring up the volume it really doesn't do anything, but deter the quality of the music; if you notice between the original and this version you can hear the synths, bass, and general samples far more crisper than ever before, which is why this is most definitely justified.
By the way I didn't mention in my review, but there is an added track. A cover song by Queen called "Get Down, Make Love" and it fits perfectly with the rest of the album.
Yeah this needed a re-release.
Pretty Hate Machine's relevance for Reznor cannot be understated
I think you mean it "cannot be overstated".
Also, when you say "his next release" you seem to be talking about The Downward Spiral and not Broken. I've found that Broken doesn't get nearly enough credit in reviews of NIN. It's not as if he jumped straight from the relatively sparse sound of PHM to TDS, and it holds up strongly on its own.
Some of the phrasing could be better IMO, but otherwise a good review.
The remaster definitely sounds more vicious and has a more anguished or tortured vibe. I'd put it somewhere between a 4 or 4.5, with a bit of a tilt for the historical significance.
Pretty Hate Machine's relevance for Reznor cannot be understated
Album Rating: 4.5Sorta, I mean Broken EP + The Downward Spiral because if not for the legal problems Broken EP probably wouldn't of been as destructive as it sounds. After all he was really fucking pissed off and most of the EP is about him being raped (metaphorically). I mention The Downward Spiral because it is the next album, but both work in any case and yes I did mean overstated..sigh stupid mistake.
The sound of Broken was informed by the live incarnations of the songs from PHM, he actually stated such in an interview from '92. If you've listened to the versions on the live albums then you can hear how similar they are to the songs from Broken.
Album Rating: 4.5That's interesting I never knew that. I know that he got most of his inspiration for that EP from his record company hounding him to release another PHM mainstream appeal bullshit. He couldn't stand it and worked under other names to avoid legalities and such, but that is pretty cool.
I think there is much more depth to Broken than you are giving credit for. It is, after all, the only release to have an accompanying movie to go with the whole thing.
"The original felt really dated (because it is to be fair.)"
To be honest I've never really enjoyed the downward spiral because it really does sound dated nowardays.
^ have you heard the 2004 remaster?
Album Rating: 5.0I love it. That's the confirmation that I was looking for before buying this. PHM is easily my favorite NIN album.Digging: Nero Di Marte - Derivae

[Resolved] When is New Buddypress out
I heard that next version of Buddypress will have good integration with any wordpress theme. Is there an anticipated date for the release of this?
I am looking at building a site, and want a Responsive Buddypress Site on a Multisite Install, which is fairly novice-friendly, and the forums etc look good. At the moment I'm favouring Top Business from panda – http://topbusiness.pandathemes.com/ as it seems to be very flexible without having to delve too far into code etc.
But, if the new buddypress is coming out soon, I can wait, and choose from more standard wordpress themes.
Has anyone any thoughts or feedback on the Top Business theme?
