Neighbors are on high alert trying to catch a mystery van. They say the driver is responsible for multiple thefts in the area.
It's happening in the Forest View neighborhood between Westover Hills and Jahnke Road off Forest Hills Boulevard.
The chatter all began with a picture of a suspicious van on social media. Now, police say they're looking into several complaints about the driver of this van.
A neighbor snapped a picture of the conversion van driving through the Forest View neighborhood. Reports from the Hills and Heights Twitter page show someone stole a neighbor's grill a few weeks ago. They saw the suspect leaving in a van that looks very similar to the suspicious van on social media sites. It is navy blue with a light stripe near the middle.
"I don't think it's right for people to do stuff like that," said Neighbor Henry Leadbetter.
"For something to be that close to my house, it freaks me out a little bit," said Solomon Miles.
Police say they know about the crimes and they're looking for the driver. Miles believes the picture of the van was taken on his street.
On Wednesday, a post on the neighborhood's Facebook page says the driver of the same van went onto private property and looked through a construction dumpster. Miles says his dogs were barking more than usual the other night.
"So I went out, looked around, but didn't see anything," said Miles. "They might have just seen the van or seeing those guys doing whatever they were doing, but I'll pay more attention to the dogs next time."
Officers couldn't comment on specifics, but we did some digging. From January 1 to March 23, police have six reported larcenies all in the Forest View neighborhood, the same area where someone snapped the photo of the van.
"I just think there's a more honest way to make money if they're doing it just to sell stuff to make a quick buck," Miles added. "It's hard times and everybody is affected by it, but not everybody results to that kind of behavior."
"I'm going to be on the watch out and if I see the van, I'm going to call police and get the license number," Leadbetter said.
If you spot the van, call Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.

The food was below par - beef too tough to chew - fish either over or under cooked. Very difficult to get any fruit suitable for cold cereal. Windjammer was typical steam table fare - guests were calling it the "trough."
I have never heard of passengers moving from one cabin to another having to pack up & put their luggage out by 11PM. We moved from cabin 9342 to 8670. Usually (ALWAYS)the staff move you - Not this time!!!My luggage was lost & I couldn't get any staff to help me. My husband & I searched the decks & found 1 bag all the way forward on deck 7. I went to Guest Relations to ask for help. The young lady rolled her eyes, sucked her teeth & said "What do you want me to do? It's not my fault." That was the attitude from Guest Relations for most of the cruise - very condescending & unpleanant. My luggage showed up at 9PM.
The Ice Show was outstanding!! Skaters very talented & enthusiastic! The rest of the entertainment left much to be desired. Like the last stop on the Vauddeville Circuit. The production shows were very low end - the singers seemed bored.

Not 100% sure, but pretty much convinced about the statements above.
Another B&H ripoff... there must be a $31,500 rebate coming from Canon soon.

I'm greatly pleased with 01011001 because it flows perfectly. I've loved Arjen's previous works but for some reason the thematic consistency is so much more apparent on this album. Perhaps its the way he writes the songs or the way that the story develops, but I feel like I'm listening to a true concept album this time.
Also, the vocalists are amazing. As much as James Labrie is a great talent, the mix of artists on this album blows the Human Equation away. Any fans of Evergrey, Pain of Salvation, etc. should check it out.
Only Star One in my opinion is a better Arjen work than 01011001. So yes– this gets my wholehearted 5 stars. Songs of note: Age of Shadows, Comatose, New Born Race and the Earth Extinction.

Sometimes, there are no answers to why terrible things happen. When one cannot offer answers, comfort must suffice.
And so it is with the death of Colleen Ritzer, a dedicated young teacher from Andover just starting out in life. Prosecutors have charged a 14-year-old student, Philip Chism, with her murder.
So far, there has been no explanation of what might have motivated Chism to commit the crime of which he is accused. But whatever motive emerges as the case progresses — anger, fear, greed — it will not be sufficient. How can the mere experience of an emotion justify the dreadful act of taking a life?
It is human nature to seek to understand, to find a reason that explains the seeming randomness of life. Surely all who have read or heard about this crime are wondering, "Why?"
The family of Colleen Ritzer is facing these most difficult of questions amid their grief, the Rev. Peter Gori told Andover Townsman Editor Sonya Vartabedian. Gori is the pastor of St. Augustine Parish, which has been the spiritual home of the Ritzer family for years.
Gori told Vartabedian it's impossible to make sense of the "horrible, sad, painful loss."
"I wish you could, but you can't. It's bigger than our ability to make sense of," Gori said. "It's just totally wrong by every civilized standard and every drive there is."
Where reason fails, faith must endure.
Gori visited the Ritzer family to offer comfort in their time of need.
"I let them know they were in our prayers and our compassion," Gori said. "If anything, what can make a terrible situation worse even is thinking you are alone in this. To be present for people suffering like this is a source of strength. ... It's more important for them to be surrounded by love and caring that's soothing for her parents and brother and sister."

Get ready for the season of drunken moose. As ripe fruit falls from the trees and ferments on the ground, it is time for some of Sweden's most majestic wild animals to act in a most un-regal manner. One home owner east of Stockholm, the capital, has already been confronted by a mob of boozed-up moose. The five animals, feasting on rotten windfalls, "were threatening" and refused to let him into his garden. "Sensibly enough the (moose) left the scene when police arrived," writes Albin Näverberg on Stockholm police's website. To prevent further moose booze-binges the home owner, who lives in Värmdö, east of Stockholm, was advised to remove the apples from his yard. "The (moose) will have to get drunk somewhere else," writes Näverberg.

BISSAU, Guinea-Bissau (AP) -- An unidentified military commander said Friday that soldiers who attacked the prime minister's home don't want to take power in Guinea-Bissau, claiming they intervened to halt foreign aggression in the tiny coup-prone African nation.
The statement came hours after the state radio station's transmission was cut and explosions were heard throughout the capital. A group representing West African nations has called Thursday's violence in the tiny nation, which is a transshipment point for South American cocaine bound for Europe, "a reprehensible coup attempt."
It came weeks before the presidential runoff election, which Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Jr. was favored to win. Guinea-Bissau's president died in January of complications from diabetes, leaving an interim leader in charge of the chronically unstable country. The whereabouts of interim President Raimundo Pereira and of Gomes were unknown.
In the communique, the military commander claimed that Gomes was going to allow troops from Angola, another former Portuguese colony in Africa, to attack Guinea-Bissau military forces.
Angola sent about 200 troops to Guinea-Bissau in March 2011 to help reform the country's armed forces as part of a bilateral military agreement, according to Angolan state news agency Angop. Their mission recently ended but the contingent is still in Bissau, Angop said without providing further details.
"The Military Command does not want power but it was forced to act in this way to defend itself from the diplomatic maneuvers of the Guinea-Bissau government, which aims to annihilate the (country's) armed forces using foreign military force," the communique said, according to the Portuguese news agency Lusa.
It claimed it possesses a "secret document" drawn up by the Guinea-Bissau government mandating Angola to attack Guinea-Bissau's military. It was impossible to independently verify the claim.
Angolan Defense Minister Candido Pereira Van-Dunem said Thursday in Luanda that his country would "continue to provide full support" to Guinea-Bissau, with which Angola has "excellent ties," Angop reported. He said a calendar for the return of Angolan troops to Luanda was being negotiated with the Bissau authorities.
Explosions rocked the capital, Bissau, Thursday night, according to a diplomat and witnesses. Shooting started after the state radio station signal inexplicably went dead. A military official, who could not be named because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said soldiers had encircled Gomes' home and were attacking it with grenades. It was not clear if the premier was at home when the shooting started.
Resident Edmond Ajoye, an employee of a Dutch NGO, said he was around 3 miles (5 kilometers) from his home when the shooting began.
"There was panic. Women were running," he said. "There were rockets being launched, and the soldiers were shooting with guns mounted on their trucks."
"The soldiers took downtown," he continued. "The shooting lasted from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. They then went from embassy to embassy to make sure that the politicians couldn't seek refuge there."
Guinea-Bissau has weathered successive coups, attempted coups and a civil war since winning independence from Portugal in 1974. The country's longtime ruler Joao Bernardo "Nino" Vieira was assassinated inside his home in 2009.
Guinea-Bissau has been further destabilized by a growing cocaine trade. Traffickers from Latin America use the nation's archipelago of uninhabited islands to land small, twin-engine planes loaded with drugs, which are then parceled out and carried north for sale in Europe.
The traffickers, according to analysts, have bought off key members of the government and the military, creating a narcostate.
The unrest in Guinea-Bissau takes place only three weeks after mutinous soldiers overthrew the democratically elected president of Mali, who was about to retire after an April election. The country's junta leader handed over power to an interim civilian president on Thursday.
Larson reported from Dakar, Senegal. Associated Press writers Michelle Faul and Rukmini Callimachi in Dakar; and Barry Hatton in Lisbon, Portugal contributed to this report.

We've got Game 1 staring us in the face, we obviously want to win that game, but our thoughts are not going to go past the first shift. As you look at a series, there's always, I call them, defining moments, and we have to make sure we're making the right decisions at those defining moment areas. We have been, through the playoffs so far. "This series will take shape and personality, and we'll have to adjust. Our guys will have to be positive and not get frustrated with it. At the end of the day, we'll be the team we are and play the style we have to play."Hershey head coach Mark French shares a little of his coaching philosophy on the eve of his first Calder Cup Final game as bench boss.
"It was a tough series for us to play," Bears head coach Mark French said. "We played against a team that was very committed defensively and didn't really care what they generated offensively. Some of our key players -- and our team in general -- had trouble accepting how you have to play against these guys to be successful."Hershey Bears head coach Mark French Questions for discussion - what did Coach French advise his team to do and how did he get "our key players - and our team in general" to buy in? Did the team buy in, or did they just get lucky?
That's basically just me being a weird goalie...Braden Holtby on The Old Barn Hockey Show. Excellent interviews with Holtby and with Zach Miscovic this week. I am once again reminded why I am a hockey fan -- these guys are just so down to earth and likeable.
DEFENSEMAN BRYAN HELMER RETURNS TO HERSHEY FOR 2009-10 SEASON CAPTAIN OF HERSHEY'S 2009 CALDER CUP CHAMPION SQUAD BACK IN A CHOCOLATE AND WHITE SWEATER FOR THE UPCOMING CAMPAIGN HERSHEY – The 2009 Calder Cup Champion HERSHEY BEARS announced today the signing of defenseman Bryan Helmer to a contract for the upcoming 2009-10 season. The announcement was made today by BEARS President/GM Doug Yingst.Helmer staying with the Bears, via Walton
"I learned a lot. I learned how important it is to finish every single check. A lot of our success was simply wearing guys down. We were able to take more punishment than they were. I also learned how important every player is — every man — all 20 guys on the roster. We had guys who had maybe five points in the regular season and yet they'd come through with a big goal in the playoffs. That gives you an edge. It doesn't even have to be points. Whatever your job is, and that might be blocking shots in a key situation, you do it and that contributes to why the team wins."- Andrew Gordon reflecting on a championship season in Hershey (h/t IC)
"It was an awesome year. Between playing in my first All-Star game and winning the Calder Cup, there were so many different things that happened that I'll never forget. ... "I'll take some time off here and hope to sign a new contract, but we'll see what happens. I don't feel like I have too much to worry about."- Restricted Free Agent-to-be Chris Bourque
"[Former Bears President and GM Frank] Mathers believed in the Rule of 6 — six veterans, six depth players and six prospects — as the basis upon which to build a team. By working with the NHL teams Hershey has been affiliated with since he took over, Yingst has done much the same. "That was evident with the latest Calder Cup championship, a team that included veterans Giroux, Aucoin, Mink, Helmer, Laing and Arsene; depth players like Bourque, Wilson, Sloan, Kronwall, Reid and Lepisto; prospects like Osala, Neuvirth, Perreault, Bouchard, Alzner and Carlson."- Lebanon Daily News
"We don't hang up division championships. We don't hang up conference championships. The only thing you're going to see hanging are [AHL] championships."- Hershey Bears head coach Bob Woods (h/t Peerless)
When I was 16 and I was a rookie in the Finnish second league, we went to the Finals. Then last year when I was a rookie in Finland, my first year in the Finnish elite league, we went to the Finals. And now when I'm a rookie here in the AHL, we're in the Finals.Call this man up!
"I think it is great that he came back here from overseas and he's got a taste of [North American] pro hockey and what it is all about. He knows what he's got to do, and he got a little taste up there in Washington. He's got all the tools. He's got to get the mindset that [Washington] is where he wants to be, and if he has a good summer and a good camp and he comes in with the conditioning he had last year, I think they will have to take a serious look at him."- Hershey bench boss Bob Woods on Oskar Osala

Town Square
Debt debate delusions: An economist shakes his head at budget mess
Original post made by stephen levy on Aug 15, 2011
Four of these basic agreements have been almost completely uncontroversial. One, the federal government has the tools and responsibility to support economic recovery after a recession. Two, lowering interest rates in the short term provides some incentive for businesses and consumers to spend and invest. Three, there are "automatic stabilizers" that mitigate the negative impact on spending -- taxes go down as incomes fall, safety net programs like unemployment insurance and food stamps get greater usage. Note that the result and intent of automatic stabilizers is to increase the deficit and reduce the amount of money taken out of the economy by a recession.
The fourth relatively uncontroversial recession-fighting-policy tool is temporary tax rate cuts. And, in fact, tax rate cuts were approved in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and, in addition, the so-called Bush tax cuts were extended through 2012. The fifth and more controversial policy tool is an increase in selected federal spending such as extending unemployment insurance benefits, building infrastructure and making grants to state and local government to support schools, public safety and health care. Increased federal spending programs were adopted in 2008 and again in 2009 and 2010.
Tax cuts and increased spending both increase the short-term federal deficit -- that is the point so money is added to the economy.
And then came the debt ceiling debate! Decades of negotiating differences in priorities for long-term economic growth within a framework of basic agreement about short-term recession-fighting went poof -- as if it had never happened. Instead of focusing on the need to support the economy and the broad areas of agreement, members of Congress focused almost entirely on the areas in which the parties do not agree. In the process they polluted our national dialogue, harmed the economy and did virtually nothing to seriously address long-term federal deficit challenges.
Both the President and Republicans managed to confuse the public about the timing of the deficit reduction and fighting recession -- economic recovery as a first priority and aggressive deficit reduction thereafter. President Obama, in arguing for repealing the Bush tax cuts as part of long-term deficit reduction, made it seem as if he wanted tax increases now, which he does not. Republicans, in arguing for their version of long-term deficit reduction, forgot that they were also arguing that the economy needed help and they had just the tax cuts to do the trick.
And both parties, in arguing their version of long-term deficit reduction, forgot to remind the public that you don't cut spending or raise taxes in the middle of an economic downturn. Running deficits, whether with just "automatic stabilizers" or active policies like tax cuts and spending, is what happens while we fight recessions. Whatever the long-term merits of tax and spending policies (a debate we postponed but still need to have), both spending cuts and tax increases to reduce the deficit are short-term "job killers" in fighting recessions.
And if you listened to last Sunday's news shows or read last week's Town Square posts, the S&P downgrade and worldwide stock market decline did nothing but escalate the rhetoric and finger pointing. In doing this we have moved further, not closer, from addressing the nation's economic and budget challenges and in getting the right sequence of public policy.
This week we learned that there are approximately 3 million job openings today in an economy with 14 million Americans out of work. Surely this is not the time to give up on economic recovery policy. And the public agrees overwhelmingly with most polls putting job growth first and deficit reduction a very distant second for today's agenda.
It is easy to point blame. I do not think both parties are equally to blame. But at this point, blame is not helpful. The Economist magazine, a free-market-oriented British weekly, echoes what I feel: "Worse, the poisonous politics of the past few weeks have created new sorts of uncertainty...At best the politicians will have slowed a sputtering expansion; at worst they will have killed off the recovery and inflicted lasting harm on the world's most impressive prosperity machine."
There are plenty of good ideas out there -- read Tom Friedman's columns this week from the New York Times or an op-ed by Jed Bush and Kevin Ward, a former Federal Reserve governor in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal. Surely amidst the agreement for tax reform (closing loopholes and lowering rates), infrastructure and education investment, immigration reform and support for public and private research and development, we can find a pro-growth agenda with majority agreement.
But can we find a public dialogue that allows this agreement to be developed? That is what I worry about. And can we find that level of public dialogue and civility within disagreements within Palo Alto as we face the challenges of maintaining a city that is a great place to live and work and a welcoming community?

Invest now. Despite the S&P slam on republican tactics, every country still wants to loan America money at almost zero cost.
Use that money to create jobs that create value - infrastructure. Using almost "no-cost" money to create something of value while spurring job creation is a no-brainer.
Jobs are the only way to build out of this economic mess.
Jobs for huge federal projects, for state, municipal and local projects. From huge energy projects down to park level projects. Most are subbed out to private companies.
All those projects are required anyway. Get them done now while money is at it's cheapest to prepare our economy to compete again.
If you don't want to read the economists listed by Mr Levy, youtube Faird Z's gps CNN show from yesterday. Two economists from polar opposites agree on about only one thing - invest in infrastructure to BUILD our way out of this mess - create jobs that create revenue.
Austerity only prolongs the agony, especially for the poor and the shrinking middle class.
Growth, then cuts down the road when America and Americans can afford it.
It's time to rebuild America, not Afghanistan.

The collapse of the U.S. post war (WWII) prosperity has many causes, including globalization, environmental extremism, education model failures, over-reliance on debt, failed economic models, demographics, social moral factors and more. It is a structural collapse, not simply an economic one.
It will not be reversed by some simple tax-and-spend formula. Steve Levy is a smart guy, but he seems to be missing the big picture.

Women's Basketball Earns Votes in Top 25 Polls
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The FGCU women's basketball team received 16 votes in this week's USA Today/ESPN Top 25 Coaches' Poll and also picked up one vote in the AP Top 25 Poll that was released on Tuesday, Jan. 11.
This marks the third time in program history that the Eagles have earned votes in both polls in the same week. It is also the fifth consecutive week that the Eagles have earned at least one vote in the USA Today/ESPN poll. FGCU earned six votes in last week's poll (Jan. 4).
The Blue and Green's one vote in the AP Poll is the sixth time in program history and third time this season that they have received votes in the national poll. FGCU received one vote in the 2009-10 AP Preseason Top 25 and also picked up a vote in back-to-back weeks in the AP Top 25 to close out the 2008-09 season.
In their last outing, the Eagles, led by four players in double figures and 12 three-pointers, remained unbeaten with a 77-70 win over reigning three-time A-Sun champion ETSU on Jan. 8. Junior Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn./Moorhead HS) finished with a career-high 21 points on 5-of-10 shooting from the behind the arc and a perfect 6-of-6 from the charity stripe to go with four assists and three rebounds. Senior Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) scored 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the floor and 4-of-5 from long distance. Redshirt-freshman Sarah Hansen (Edinboro, Pa./General McLane HS) finished with 14 points and eight boards. Junior Courtney Chihil (Tipp City, Ohio/ Alter HS) had another all-around game with 11 points, nine rebounds and six assists. Junior Eglah Griffin (Fort Myers, Fla./Dunbar HS/Seminole CC) chipped in with nine points and four boards.
The Blue and Green, who are now 62-7 all-time and 26-5 since moving to Division I in the month of January, knocked down 12-of-24 (50 percent) three-point attempts on the afternoon, to top their nation leading 11.5 three-point field goals made per game average. The Eagles have drained double digit three-pointers 10 times on the season and now have 138 triples as a team, including 69 in the last five contests.
The Eagles (12-0 overall, 5-0 A-Sun) will put their 30-game home winning streak on the line on Saturday, Jan. 15 at 7:05 p.m. when they play host to the Owls of Kennesaw State (3-10 overall, 0-5 A-Sun) in A-Sun action. FGCU is one of three undefeated teams remaining in the nation, joining the likes of No. 3 Duke (15-0) and No. 6 West Virginia (16-0).

As a form of public space, the airwaves were utilised as a venue for live art making during my involvement in the Visible City residency. On a late night radio show on the Melbourne station Triple R, I introduced a project made in collaboration with Lara Thoms entitled Songs for Cleaners, in addition to being interviewed more generally about the works being made for the Visible City residency in the studio.
Here's what curator/director Martyn Coutts had to say about the broadcast on the Visible City tumblr site :
"transmission artist and visible city participant Sally Ann McIntyre/Radio Cegeste appeared on the radio programme O' Tomorrow, which is hosted from midnight Tuesday night – 2am Wednesday morning by Patrick O'Brien (aka. Downpat), on independent Melbourne radio station RRR.
as Patrick says of the show "Music is everywhere. From the past to the future. From Brunswick to Burma. From innovators AND idiots..."
in conversation with Pat, Sally talked about and demonstrated the expanded / live radiophonic works made during the course of the residency for her mobile radio station Radio Cegeste, and considered the airwaves in a wider sense as a public space which allow for artistic intervention.
a short narratorless / experimental radiophonic documentary was compiled by Sally especially for this show, from found sounds collected in the cityscape and during her travels through Melbourne during the visible city residency.
she also previewed the sound / performance work 'Songs for Cleaners', comprising a mix of the favourite songs of people who work as cleaners in the QV Mall in Melbourne's CBD, a selection collected by fellow visible city artist Lara Thoms. Aired on the show at 1am, this was originally intended to be placed back into the Mall space by Lara, who was to be be sitting in the Mall's food hall with a radio, but due to the general exhaustion of the residency requirements, Lara was right to postpone to an hour during the following days, and a small scale transmission to the Mall via Radio Cegeste's mini FM."
the eventual Songs For Cleaners transmission happened in the
many thanks to O'Tomorrow's congenial host, Pat O'Brien, particularly for allowing such avant garde tracks as Dolly Parton's '9 to 5' onto the normally mainstream-free airwaves of his respected experimental music programme.

Journey has always been my very favorite of all the American rock bands. I've traced them right from the beginning because of being a Santana fan. Neil Shon and Greg Rollie started something that was very addictive. When Steve Perry joined the band, that was it. No singer can or could ever replace Steve Perry. Without SP, Journey isn't Journey. This live set just blew me away and the DVD that came with it is out of this world. It's too bad that Journey seems to be at the end of their journey. I highly recommend this set to any Journey fan even if you already have a live Journey CD, this is by far the best of all of them. Don't do what I did though. Order the set that has both the CD and DVD. It is well worth the money.
Journey Biography - Journey Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Convenient new size…Still f***ing huge! Metallica's Live Sh*t: Binge & Purge – the unprecendented box set featuring three complete concerts on three CD's and three VHS tapes, more than eight hours of live Metallica – is now being made available on three CD's and two DVD's at a special price. This colossal box has sold an incredible 613,000 copies since its 1993 release, and this reissue is sure to swell the ranks of those blown away by these shows. Nothing gets left behind — the complete original 72-page full-color book is even included on DVD 2, and the commemorative backstage pass and scary guy stencil are enclosed as well. It's a one-two-three punch unmatched by any band, before or since, and the perfect gift for that special someone who needs their ass kicked hard by the world's greatest rock & roll band.This enormous live box set is a necessity for the hardcore Metallifan, though casual fans (if Metallica has any casual fans) might be scared off. It contains material up to and including the self-titled "black" album, including concert favorites "Creeping Death" and "Seek & Destroy," as well as classics like "For Whom the Bell Tolls," "Welcome Home (Sanitarium)," and "Fade to Black." There are also a couple of ripping-fast solos from Jason Newsted and Kirk Hammett, and covers of "Last Caress," "Am I Evil?" and "Stone Cold Crazy." The videos are from a 1992 San Diego concert and a 1989 stop on the Damaged Justice tour in Seattle; both are guaranteed to turn any fan who hasn't had the considerable pleasure of hearing this seminal metal band live green with envy. Pricey, but very highly recommended. –Genevieve Williams

LIVE IN HOUSTON 1981: THE ESCAPE TOUR is a wonderful document of a single concert on Journey's tour in support of their 1981 album ESCAPE, and it's great to have the concert available on CD, as the album and its ensuing tour were Journey's best sellers both in terms of album sales and concert tickets. The previously-recorded live album, CAPTURED, featured Gregg Rolie, whereas this one features Jonathan Cain on keyboards. It has been said that the band's manager, Herbie Herbert, didn't really like Cain, but that's irrelevant, as Cain brought more of a pop feel to the band. This is a CD that anyone who's even remotely interested in Journey should own.
I have this cd/dvd set and it is AWESOME!
This is Journey at the height of their fame.
Their best concert ever!
Steve Perry is AMAZING!
A must for any Journey Fan.
Journey's Live in Houston 1981, The Escape Tour was first released in November of 2005 as a CD and DVD package.
Turns out, it was a limited edition as now Legacy/Columbia has released both the CD and DVD separately but copies of the CD/DVD package are still out there.
1981 was the year the band ruled the rock music roost as their album Escape hit #1 on the Billboard album chart and they were possibly, aside Rush and Styx, the best concert act touring the States in 1981(all three were selling out arenas with ease).
This classic 1981 Journey concert was recorded and filmed at The Houston Summit in Houston, TX that November and originally aired on MTV(Queen recorded and filmed a concert of theirs in December of 1977 at the same venue which hasn't been released yet).
For years this Journey concert was not available on either DVD or VHS but until last November.
This Journey concert features the classic line up with singer Steve Perry, guitarist Neal Schon, then new keyboardist Jonathan Cain, bass player Ross Valory and drummer(and my fellow Bay Stater(Massachusetts native)) Steve Smith(who had the Tasmanian Devil attached to his drum kit).
The Escape Tour saw Journey at the top of their game.
On this CD and DVD, the band played 8 of Escape's 10 songs(the title cut(which had a killer opening fanfare), Open Arms, Mother Father, Who's Crying Now, Dead or Alive, Don't Stop Believin', Stone in Love and Keep on Runnin') as well as songs from Infinity(Lights and Wheel in the Sky), Evolution(Lovin' Touchin' Squeezin'), Departure(Line of Fire, Stay Awhile, Where Were You and Any Way You Want It) and the studio track from Captured(The Party's Over) plus solos from messieurs Cain, Smith(superb drum solo and is easily one of the greatest rock drummers ever) and Schon.
The sound quality of the CD(and the off-shoot DVD) is very good and the packaging, a 16-page booklet is excellent too.
Overall, Journey Live in Houston is a great piece of live Journey at the top of their game.
Thank you to Steve Perry for helping restore the true Journey legacy.

Litter Free Lunch
Once Felice's (one of the founders) oldest son started bringing his lunch to school each day, she started using reusable containers in his lunch box. About two years ago, Felice took the next step by purchasing cloth cocktail-size napkins at a local Whole Foods. This purchase made Felice wonder if a child-friendly cloth napkin existed. One thing lead to another and Felice decided to take the idea to the next level and speak with her friend Megan. Megan's previous work experience has been vital to the creation of our creative, reusable products. That is how Litter Free Lunch was born – in between soccer games, doctor's appointments, music lessons and Cub Scout meetings.

Another reserve bout on the fight card at Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Silva and the second fight on the main card is Chad Griggs vs. Gian Villante. Chad Griggs is most famously known for his previous Strikeforce win over former professional wrestler Bobby Lashley. Gian Villante is less well-known to casual mixed martial arts (MMA) fans, but is a favorite of the hardcores with his brutalizing run through Ring of Combat (ROC), a New Jersey-based MMA organization.
Of the two, Villante is clearly the higher-end prospect. Villante is 25 years old, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighed-in yesterday at 227 pounds. By contrast, Griggs is 32 years old, 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighed-in yesterday at 229 pounds. In other words, both would be better suited at light heavyweight.
Griggs enters this bout with his notable over Bobby Lashley as well as wins over Jon Alexander (KO) and Eric Garcia (TKO). Villante is coming in off a win over Joseph Reyes (TKO) and Mike Cook. He does have a loss in his last two fights, but suffered an injury during the course of the fight.
Villante is a former NCAA Division I-AA football All-American. He is the superior athlete of the two and can win either by strikes or submissions. Griggs is certainly durable and uses his size well, but is technically and athletically outmatched here.
The oddsmakers have Villante as the considerable favorite, anywhere from -255 to -325.

To bring you the world's finest iWotsit protection we've hooked up with consummate case professionals Uncommon. They're an industry leader in making superbly high quality and durable iPhone & iPod cases – one of the few brands chosen by Apple for Apple Stores. They invented a revolutionary and top secret printing process called TATT™, which embeds the design into the case – so no fading or peeling, ever. It all sounds a bit space age really, which we quite like.
The deflector is a single piece clip-on case.The capsule is a two piece slide-on case with a removable bottom.
We currently offer the following case styles:

I was born in a hot town in Brazil called Fortaleza. As a child, drew the edges of notebooks during class and drew stories using my friends as characters, so I was never a good student. After a disastrous attempt at Chemistry College, I found my way studying Arts in Cefet-CE and follow my studies doing Post Graduation in Digital Design.Today I work as a designer in the City Hall, create arts for many T-shirt shops, design concepts for children's books and games.

This year was going to be my last effort to grow tomatoes in the high desert, even though our extension agent says we have the "perfect climate for heirlooms." We also have lots of problems--last year most of our entire high valley lost their crop to Curly Top Virus. I decided to give these grafted tomatoes a shot, and I am so happy I did. My beautiful big pink tomatoes are the envy of all my gardening friends, and I am enjoying the flavor of the home-grown tomatoes I have loved all my life. The plants have withstood everything Mother Nature has thrown at them, thrived, and are producing beautifully. I am sure I have a good many new customers for you with this one.

Login requires Activated USBC Membership.
Not active membership? Activate
CERTIFICATIONIn addition to setting and enforcing specifications for bowling equipment, the team also helps uphold the credibility of the sport and makes competition fair by inspecting lane beds in bowling centers to ensure that they meet USBC standards.USBC local association officials visit bowling centers in their areas annually and use a variety of tools and instruments to perform a physical inspection of the lanes and their adjacent components such as the channels, channel depths, pin spots, and pin deck. Center inspections may begin April 1 and must be completed by Aug. 31.USBC rules state that bowling centers must renew their certification by Sept. 1 to host any USBC certified competition for that season.Associations also perform random inspections of the oil applied to lanes in bowling centers to ensure that they meet USBC guidelines for oil application. Sometimes referred to as conditioner, lane oil protects the lane surface and affects the difficulty level of the sport. Lane oil inspections ensure playing field uniformity per USBC guidelines so that USBC league bowlers in Maine are competing on lanes in the same shape as bowlers in California.

One of my pet peeves is paying tolls. Especially when toll booths are in places designed to gouge you.
There's no better example than the toll booths a mile or two east of the Orlando International Airport, on State Road 528 (Beachline Expressway).
You pay $1.50 to get to the airport. Cha-ching!
And you pay $1.50 when you head back home. Cha-ching!
For people living in Indian River and Brevard counties, it might as well be called the "Family and Friends Tax." Picking someone up, or dropping someone off, at the Orlando airport, as the Lemmons did last week, results in a $3 "tax" on each trip.
That's why I was so pleased to read in today's paper that US Airways is returning to Melbourne International Airport after a 12-year absence. (Click here for story.)
I know Indian River County residents will be rooting for the relationship to succeed.

Select Route:
Considered by many to be the best moderate route in Southern California. Six incredible, wildly diverse pitches make this a Sierra Classic.
Wide Punks on Dope is located in a large recess on the South/Southwest side of the dome. The recess is created by a massive detached block on the right-hand side which abuts the dome. The approach from Needlerock Creek takes 45-90 minutes depending on your experience with the trail.
Small to 3", carry extra small gear, 4-5" piece recommended.

text: A humorous photographic record of the wedding of my Godson Luke to his beautiful bride, Donna. The book includes images of the formal church ceremony, post-ceremony pub visit by some guests, and the awesome reception at the National Wine Centre in Adelaide. The captions on many photos are far from being PC...but who the hell cares anyway! I don't think I'll ever be forgiven by the groom for my choice of front cover photo!
