I wasn't holding much out for Helloween after Rabbit Don't Come Easy, which while not being the disaster some made it out to be, seemed fairly lacklustre. The departure of Roland Grapow and Uli Kusch, it seemed, had knocked that special something out of the band (although they then gave us the awesome Masterplan, so all is forgiven)
As a result, The Legacy was one of the biggest surprises I have ever had – truly Helloween have returned to show the world why they are considered the forefathers of this genre. This album combines the good production of RDC Easy, the epic scope of Keeper 1 and 2, mixed in with a little bit of wackiness and fun from Master Of the Rings.
Inevitable comparisons will be made to Keeper 1 and 2 – does it live up to the name? Well, give it time, but if you ask me, this easily holds its own. I have no idea what the original story was (nor do i care). Theres a few references to keys here and there, and some songs that clearly have nothing to do with anything. But then, neither Keeper albums stuck with the theme all the way through.
Kiske versus Deris? No contest. A few years ago I would have said otherwise, but Deris buys and owns Kiske with this album – the man has never, ever sounded so good. Like it or not, Deris, IS Helloween. He can't hit the high notes with the smoothness, but he can hit them, and when he does (quite frequently throughout the album) its all the more satisfying.
And the songs? This is the most consistent offering for a long time. The Opener, King For A 1000 Years, is an absolute monster of a song, one of the best they've ever done. Invisible Man, Pleasure Drone and Silent Rain are all similar – speedy rockers with catchy choruses, that would not be out of place on Master of the Rings, or Better That Raw.
The first half is better than the second, though not before delivering us the second epic of the album, Occasion Avenue, which is both dark and grand, complete with choir backing. In fact, there is no song that is particularly bad, save for Mrs God which isn't actually bad – but it sticks out and was truly a daft choice for a single. It doesn't reflect the rest of the album at all!
This review is a bit long, but only because I believe this album truly is worth a listen from any Helloween (or metal) fan. I was so surprised at how good this album was – if you were like me and had written Helloween off, think again. Hopefully, with a more solid lineup, and some success with this, they'll keep up the good work!

With Brendan resigning from Mozilla, like many others, I have mixed emotions. It's tough to have the past haunt and chase you but trying to keep strong at the same time is hard. As a volunteer moderating the Facebook page, it was evident that we had many users complaining and very little supporters. Now that Brendan has resigned, everybody has all of a sudden come out from a shadow. Unexpectedly to say at the least, is that we've got users telling us that we were no longer protecting Freedom of speech and that rights are taken away. Where have these people been hiding?
I guess it's okay to speak out about how we truly feel when somebody resigns over a controversial topic but not to speak out during the controversy? We should ALWAYS speak out. Freedom of Speech.

Dallas gutted out a big win on Monday night against Washington. Tony Romo and DeMarcus Ware hope to ride that momentum into a tough matchup against the Detroit Lions.
Both team bring high-powered offenses to the field. Detroit and Dallas are both averaging more than 400 passing yards per game. Detroit wide receiver Calvin Johnson became the first player in NFL history to have at least two receiving touchdowns in his first three games of the season.
Dallas will be looking to pass rusher DeMarcus Ware to hassle Matt Stafford. Ware leads the NFL with five sacks, and now has 85 sacks through his first 100 career NFL games. He is second only to Hall of Famer Reggie White, who totaled 105 sacks in his first 100 games. Detroit has their own sack specialist in second-year defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 2, 2011, 1:00 p.m.
Location: Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX
TV Schedule: Fox
Announcers: Troy Aikman, Joe Buck

This product is way cheaper than Lancome bi-facial, so I decided to switch from Lancome to Loreal to save some bucks. The move turned out to be very foolish since the two products are not even comparable. I need to rub back and forth several times to remove my eye makeup and when I use pencil liner, the remover won't work almost at all. Seriously, I mean "almost at all".
Hmm, this makeup remover use to be one of my favorites because I loved how it left a "clean feeling" on my face and not an oily mess I'd have to remove with another remover. And the packaging for this is pretty nice in my opinion. I always remove makeup by dipping a clean Q-tip in my remover or using a square cotton pad and this bottle made that easy to do. However, it has fallen over a couple times in the past because it's a little top heavy. As for the formula itself- it's ok not incredibly effective. It takes a couple times to fully remove eye makeup and if you're wearing waterproof mascara... good luck with this stuff. You'd be better off using water and soap. Probably won't be repurchasing this, unfortunately.
I like this makeup remover, but its not as good as the Lancome one. This does the job, and works very similarly to the Clinique take the day off makeup remover. However, I will use this up, probably stick to my usual Avon makeup remover for $1.99.
Horrible product. Removed my eyeshadow easily but just smuged my eyeliner and washable mascara. It's basically expensive water in a bottle. You're better off using soap and water. Compllete waste of money. I will not be repurchasing.
i really think i have been using this stuff since i started wearing makeup (started around 13, 14 and i'm 21 now). this is the only makeup remover (besides bioderma) that removes makeup without an oily residue. to be completely honest, if you're trying to remove a stubborn liquid eyeliner or a waterproof mascara, you're going to be wiping at it for a while. but for cleaning up left over eyeliner, flakes of mascara or making a line more precise this stuff is perfect. it's gotten more and more expensive as the years go by but i'm pretty much dedicated. my only complaint is that i ALWAYS manage to knock it over and it dumps out half the product so i kinda wish the packaging was a little more secure? whatever, this stuff rules. the end.
i love this makeup remover, very clean, not oily at all. Almost like using water however removes all my eye makeup even the hard to budge kind. use it with a qtip or cotton ball. great price i usually buy mine in Harmon drug store for 4.99. it's easy to spot the blue bottle in the aisle. this product does not have a funny smell either, just fresh and clean. just be careful when dipping a qtip in the bottle i always seem to drop a qtip in the bottle every time i get one then have to fish it out but that's just me being clutsy :P
The one I have, looks just like this one but in the green bottle, it's for waterproof makeup. I LOVE THIS STUFF!
I'm surprised to read other reviewers saying that it stings or burns, because the one in the green bottle does not. It might as well be plain water since I feel nothing when it gets in my eyes. And yet, it removes everything. It's super at removing waterproof mascara and stubborn eyeliner, you just need a couple of extra swipes instead of just one or two if you are wearing washable mascara.
I got it on clearance at CVS so it was less than $2 a bottle and I made sure to buy out the store once I knew I had a winner. (Six bottles and I'm down to 4 now.) Once I'm done with my stockpile I will be rebuying where ever I find it, even if that means evil-bay.
I think the only negative is that it would be very easy to knock over the bottle and spill it all over the place, it would be nice if it came in a squirt type bottle instead.
It burns! I don't have a problem if I just dip a cotton bud in it and use it to correct smudges around the eye, but if I soak a pad in it and hold it over my eye to remove mascara and eyeshadow, and even a tiny drop gets in the eye, I will end up with a sore red eye. This is not a problem I have had with any other brand, and I am surprised that L'Oreal can't do better than this.
I used this product a couple of years ago when I wore makeup more often. It effectively removed my eye liner. To be honest, I'm not sure if it did leave a greasy residue, but I don't ever remember being bothered after using it. I'm sure you'll be fine as long as you wash your face after. If I were not using a cleansing oil I'd probably buy this as I'm not fond of using a regular cleanser to remove eye makeup. After all, excessive tugging of the eye area can lead to pre-mature aging of the skin :D

Horrible! Burned my eyes, left oily residue behind as well as most of the waterproof mascara I had on.

News: LA Reid Hints At Post-Def Jam Record Label Move, "Listen, I'm Nobody's Fool"
Thursday, Apr 14, 2011 5:30PM
Former Island Def Jam CEO L.A. Reid has hinted at plans to kick-off his own record label venture just weeks after leaving his previous position.
Talking to radio host Angie Martinez this week, Reid reminded fans of his dominance as a record executive.
"Listen, I'm nobody's fool, I didn't give up my day job," he said. "I just left, I had to leave Universal Music Group and try my hat on someplace else, that we'll announce, well... we'll announce that in a little while." He confirmed Martinez's question that he did not leave the label because he's taking the "X Factor" job, saying the two were not directly connected. "It's a little bit of a shift," he said. "You're not done with me yet," he stressed. "I'm telling you the truth: I have not been shipped off to TV land. I am a record executive and I shall be right there in your face with my records." (Billboard)
Earlier this week, Reid described the difficulty of leaving Def Jam just a few years after being responsible for working with star talent like Rihanna.
"It was very difficult to leave. It wasn't difficult to decide to do 'X Factor,' it was difficult to walk away from this amazing roster and amazing staff of people and all the executives that were there that was tough." (MTV)
Details on Reid's power move circulated online in mid-March.
Universal Music label boss Antonio "L.A." Reid is hip-hopping to TV. The chairman of Universal's Island Def Jam will leave to become a judge on Simon Cowell's upcoming Fox TV show "TheX-Factor," according to people familiar with discussions. News Corp. owns Fox and The Post. Reid, who has been angling for an exit from Universal for months in order to pursue other interests, got his wish this week when the show's producers made him a firm offer. Universal agreed to let Reid out of his contract, which expires at the end of the year. Reid has shepherded acts such as Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Bon Jovi and Justin Bieber in his six years with the label. (New York Post)
Prior to denying the gossip, rumors claimed Reid was terminated from his position at Def Jam.
Record executive LA Reid during his tenure at Island Def Jam was responsible for heading over mega acts like Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Pink and Justin Bieber. Despite the fact that theseartists are huge on popular consciousness, LA Reid still hasn't been able to pull off any super sales. So... according to information on the entertainment wire, LA Reid got LET GO: "Def Jam fired L.A. Reid," the source tells us. "He got the boot from the Board of Execs yesterday." (Dime Wars)

CNET editors' review
price range: $1,497.99 - $1,499.99
- Reviewed by: David Katzmaier
- Reviewed on: 12/21/2012
- Updated on:11/29/2012
The good: The Vizio E701i-A3 is an outstanding value as the least expensive LED TV of its size that also offers Smart TV. Its picture boasts highly accurate color and very good bright-room performance. Plenty of Smart TV content is on hand within a responsive interface, and the QWERTY remote makes searches and other Smart TV actions easier. With its thin bezel, the set has a more compact, sleeker look than many competitors.
The bad: The E1i-A3's picture can't match the black-level performance of some competing LED TVs, and suffers from some uniformity issues. Its Smart TV interface design seems a bit dated and cumbersome.
The bottom line: The Vizio E701i-A3 is the best value yet among 70-inch LED TVs.

Great Value and Features for the Price
by JamesKVanmeter on February 25, 2013
Pros: Easy to navigate on screen menu system,
1 button press Amazon/Netflix/Web sites and it's real easy to setup accounts,
TV remote has a keyboard on the back for entering info on Web pages - there is an onscreen keyboard as well,
Price vs. other brands.
Cons: Viewing angle varies when viewed greater than 30 degrees off center,
You need to Download PDF manual as only a quick start manual is included,
The provided stand is not the sturdiest.

Summary: I bought this TV at a higher price point and I would say its still a great value for the money. I was able to compare it side by side with other 70 TV's by Sharp and Samsung at Costco when I purchased mine. Given the price differential of the other TV's it was very easy to spring for this Vizio. This comes from someone who would never have considered purchasing a Vizio before.Edit:
Picture quality out of the box is close to optimal with presets and custom slot that are easily accessed and modifiable. There's the basic controls and then Advanced controls that allow you alter Size/Position Color Temp and more Advanced Picture options that effect performance. Watching BluRay movies - Wow
Now the viewing angle .. it is very impressive straight on to about 30 degrees. At 45 degrees off center the picture begins to lighten slightly. It's subtle but its there. At 70 degrees its noticeably lighter. This becomes more obvious in dark scenes less so in balanced lit scenes.
Amazon and Netflix ready for Streaming video
I setup my Amazon account to stream video using a wired connection and setup was straight forward. TV shows or movies purchased appear within a few menu selections and you simply cue what you want to watch and play - the pause rewind, fast fwd on the remote control playback.
All the featured Web sites are easy to set up
Twitter, YouTube: watched my uploaded videos at 70" was nice. Facebook was less like the PC experience - I wasn't able to see a feed of my friends status updates but I was able to access my picture albums and update my status.
Can't say enough about the 4 HDMI connections.
A port for Ethernet Cable for direct connection to the Internet (My TV's firmware was already updated once so far). Digital Audio out or RCA outs as well as components and coaxial connector. Two USB ports round it out.
Sound is adequate but nothing to spend too much time writing about.
The base this TV attaches to shouldn't be considered as a long term solution. The sheer weight of the TV makes it easy to rock on the base. I could see a good enough bump or quake easily damaging the base possibly leading to the TV damaging or possibly breaking the mount.
Other notes
Picture control settings are good, but it may require some experimenting to get just the right balance. This TV replaces a 6 year old 50" Plasma Panasonic Viera. Given the off center viewing was perfect on the Panasonic, that is the only feature it has over this Vizio. No 3D support and I could care less - I'm glad that TV manufacturers can keep costs low by eliminating features few people actually use, and I suggest you have to check for low price of this TV at: ledsmarthdtvdeals.blogspot.com/p/vizio-e701i-a3.html
I hope this review is helpful.

Summary: CNET's over-all rating of this 70" Vizio was pretty accurate save for the following 2 observations. While at Cotsco over the weekend I got a chance to see this set along side the 70" Sharp 6 series (non-quattron & 120hz) and Sharp's top of the line 8 series.As I stood for the better part of half an hour looking at various content,which of course was indentical on both sets, I noticed "beyond a shadow of doubt" that the 70" Vizio showed more detail than both Sharp models in virtually every scene when it came to grains of sand,facial hair,carpet strands,snow-fall; and even waves on the ocean! And the colors had "more punch" than both Sharp models also! CNET editors also stated that the black levels were not as pronounced on the Vizio as on the Sharp sets but I honestly could not see any difference.And another thing that caught my sharp eyes was that with the thinner bezel on the Vizio I saw "more picture content" than any other model save for the Samsung which a 65-70 incher would cost you BIG at nearly double to 6 times the price! I have the 60" 847 Sharp currently but desire a 70" to be thoroughly immersed in the home theatre experience and this 70" Vizio will be in my home come next week at a "ridiculously low price"(steal!) of $1,548 at Cotsco! Don't need/care for 3D and to be perfectly honest 120hz looks better than 240hz! Used the 240hz at home and picture darkened.I love the so-called soap-opera, filmlike effect which makes the picture look crystal-clear.And folks if you think about it,the new ultra-hd sets coming out later this year with nearly double the 1080p rate at I'm sure will be priced at well over $10,ooo how much clarity can one actually see? Your eyes/brain can only perceive so much clarity! Said all of this to say "when is enough is enough?" So to make a truly long story short,the 70" Vizio is THE ABSOLUTE BEST DEAL ON THIS HERE PLANET "BAR NONE" AND YOU SHOULD GO PURCHASE IT ASAP! sincerely, ebonyflash

A 5-year-old boy battling brain cancer was granted his wish on Monday: a trip to the zoo.
He told Make-A-Wish Arizona that his one true wish was to go to the zoo so he could "be outside and see as many animals as possible, feed animals or pet baby animals," according to the foundation.
Make-A-Wish arranged for his family to spend the day behind the scenes at the World Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium in Litchfield Park.
On this day 33 years ago, Make-A-Wish Arizona was founded in Phoenix, granting a wish for an 8-year-old boy with Leukemia.

The buffet never seemed overwhelmingly busy,the BBQ on the Lanai was busy but the line moved quickly and the pasta bar ended the week with a 30 to 45 minute wait. The food in the dining room was better than I expected and portions were adequate. The waiters are spread more thinly than I remember which sometimes slowed the service.
We had the proverbial ninja steward who I met by accident on the first day(he knew my name) but never got more than a glimpse of him the rest of the week yet he kept the cabin spotless.
Debarkation was one of the smoothest I have ever experienced and even though we were FTTF we were in no hurry and didn't leave when our number was called and there were no problems getting off the ship, finding our luggage, clearing customs, leaving the terminal or getting a cab.
Having read reviews on Cruise Critic I was concerned about taking the Dream but the ship and crew proved all my worries unfounded. We all had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to sail this ship again.

Fire Ted Cottrell Now!
Ted Cottrell, the Defensive Coordinator for the San Diego Chargers, is coaching this squad straight to the bottom of the rankings. San Diego is dead last in defense against the pass, and near the very bottom overall. Cottrell continually calls the wrong defense, and his players aren't making plays. Enough is enough. It's time to end the experiment and get rid of Cottrell. In his previous position as Minnesota Vikings Defensive Coordinator, his squad was ranked 21st and 29th overall in the 2 years he was there. Please sign this petition if you would like AJ Smith to FIRE TED COTTRELL!

Thieves strip Boscawen Christmas tree for 2nd time in week
BOSCAWEN - The bottom half of a Boscawen Christmas tree has gone dark again, after a 50-foot string of lights was reported stolen for the second time in six days.
Located atop an island that marks the split between Routes 3 and 4, the tree has become a beloved sign of the season for travelers over the last few decades, according to Fire Chief Ray Fisher, whose department decorates the tree.
Local firefighters volunteer their time to string up the lights, as well as the funds to pay for the electricity to illuminate them through New Year's Day, he said. That's why the news that the lights had been stolen not once, but twice, hit Fisher hard.
"I really can't say what my reaction was, because you can't print those words," Fisher said Sunday night. "I was B.S., let's just say that. It's something the guys enjoy doing, and people love seeing, but I don't know what our next move will be. I don't want to keep putting up new lights so people can take them."
He said he will meet with fire department members tonight to determine whether they should replace the strand a third time.
"My gut feeling is that they will want to replace them, but we'll have to see," said Fisher. "That's what I want to do. I just don't know why someone would do this. It just gets you so angry."
Fisher said for years a real tree growing in the traffic circle was decorated by a snowmobile club. Once that tree grew too tall, town staff began placing a Christmas tree on the traffic island, which fire personnel now decorate. Fisher said it's a job they have gladly taken on for the past eight or nine years.
"This year the tree looked really nice," said Fisher. "We went and purchased new 50-foot strings of LED lights, and they looked really good on it. They were on there last Monday, but then by early Tuesday the lights on the lower part of the tree were gone."
Fisher said he purchased another 50-foot string of LED lights, and once again placed them on the tree, this time securing them with tie-wraps.
The tie-wraps were cut and the lights removed sometime early Saturday, he said. The tree had several branches broken off.
Fisher said Boscawen police are investigating.
"I think the first time, it was someone looking to get a free set of new lights," Fisher said. "The second time, I'm not sure. That could have been spiteful."

Spicy Recipes
Not just curries, but also more delicately spiced recipes from Eastern Europe, Thailand and the Caribbean all contribute to a spicy theme.
Buttery Kedgeree
Although it may have connotations of grand Victorian breakfasts or the Raj, kedgeree is, in fact, an easy dish for lunch or supper that is packed with good nutrition.
Spiced Carnaroli Rice Salad
This is a lovely spicy salad with Moroccan overtones – perfect for a buffet lunch, party or serving with cold cuts and spicy chutneys.
Spaghetti with Olive Oil, Garlic and Chilli
Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best: this one is also brilliant if you're eating cheaply as the ingredients are all very economical and you'll probably have them in the storecupboard already.
Spiced Pilau Rice with Nuts
I've always loved the fragrant flavour of spiced pilau rice, and could easily eat it just on its own, adding nuts to give it some crunch. However, it's also an excellent accompaniment to any spiced or curried dish.
Spiced Pilau Rice
The amount given here will be enough for 6 people with a curry comprising several dishes, but if it's to be served with just one dish, the pilau will serve four. For what's commonly known as pilau rice, you simply follow this recipe, omitting the her
Thai Green Rice
This, thankfully, is a Thai recipe that doesn't require all the speciality ingredients that are sometimes so elusive. The list of ingredients seems rather long, but it is made in moments and has a lovely fragrant flavour.
Dhal Curry
Dhal is simply the Indian word for lentils. The best kind to use for this are the red split lentils which most supermarkets stock.
Thai Red Curry Paste
This dark, pungent curry paste makes a delightful alternative to dry, ground spices. I have included it in the recipes for Angel-hair Pasta with Thai Spiced Prawns and Thai Fish Cakes with Cucumber Dipping Sauce
Mango Chutney
Serve this lovely chunky mango chutney - which is simplicity itself to make - with cold meats, leftover turkey or anything spicy.
Patatas Arequipo
A spicy Peruvian dish with a wonderful and unusual walnut sauce, made simple with the help of a top-class prepared potato ingredient. Colourful and light, it makes a great supper or lunch dish for vegetarians.

Lessons from the Leading-edge:
A Decade of USAID Coastal, Freshwater, and WASH Partnerships
When: June 18, 2014
Where: Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, Washington, D.C.
This event marks the conclusion of two significant USAID programs whose projects and associate awards have spanned the globe: the Sustainable Coastal Communities and Ecosystems (SUCCESS) Program and the Global Water for Sustainability Program (GLOWS). Leaders from project locations in Africa and Asia will provide first-hand accounts of lasting and scalable program impacts as well as to share lessons learned.
Tentative Event Schedule: GLOWS: 9 a.m.-Noon // Lunch: Noon-1p.m. // SUCCESS: 1 p.m.-4 p.m. // Reception: 4 p.m-5 p.m.
Luncheon Keynote Speaker: Dr. Matthew Larsen, incoming Director, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, Panama
What It's All About: SUCCESS was launched in 2004 to provide global leadership in integrated coastal management, contributing to USAID objectives in biodiversity conservation, food security and climate change adaptation. The Coastal Resources Center at the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography implements SUCCESS. With a program extension in 2009, the focus expanded to capacity development in marine protected areas, sustainable fisheries and livelihoods. GLOWS, which also was launched in 2004, is based out of Florida International University and provides global leadership on Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), a framework linking water resources across water uses, ecosystems and communities. The 2009 extension incorporated cross-sectoral capacity building initiatives and established supporting networks for stakeholders to attain sustainable IWRM and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services.

Seaford residents let their voices be heard Tuesday by voting down the school district's proposed $55.2 million budget by a vote of 1,881 to 1,448.
The proposed budget increase was 2.92 percent and would have included a tax levy hike of 8.99 percent. The average Seaford homeowner would have seen an increase of about $600 on their tax bills under the proposal, according to district officials.
The Seaford Board of Education must now decide whether to resubmit a revised budget proposal to the voters or operate under a contingency budget. According to New York State Education Law § 2007, a budget re-vote must be held the third Tuesday in June. If the budget is defeated twice, the board must adopt a contingency or "austerity" budget, which in Seaford's case would mean a 2.26 percent increase from the district's current spending plan.
Under a contingency budget the average Seaford homeowner would see about a $544 increase in their tax bill, according to district officials. The last time Seaford operated on a contingency budget was the 2005-06 school year.
Following the budget defeat the board scheduled a workshop meeting for this Monday to discuss whether to propose a revised budget to the voters on June 21.
Seaford voters also re-elected incumbent board trustees Richard DiBlasio and Brian Fagan with 2,278 and 2,157 votes, respectively. The other candidate in the at-large race, Lauren Phillips, garnered 957 votes.
Also on the ballot were two referendums, which were both rejected. One referendum, which asked permission from voters to use $596,719 in remaining funds from the bond issued in 2007 to an access road at , received 1,604 no votes and 1,366 yes votes. The other referendum, which asked voters to modify mileage limits for middle and high school students, failed with 1,819 no votes and 1,098 voting yes.
"I'm speechless," said Seaford Superintendent Brian Conboy after the results were announced.
"We've got a lot of work ahead of us," added DiBlasio.
Check back tomorrow for detailed coverage of the budget vote.

Backpacker Magazine – April 2008
Here are the top wilderness soaks on the continent. Can you keep a secret?
Hotspring Island | Sespe | Yellowstone | Turkey Creek | Skillern/Big Smoky
Soak Here Now
Ride Singletrack to Remote Pools
Skillern/Big Smoky Hot Springs
Big Smoky Mountains, Idaho
Want to end your next bike ride in a cloud of steam? Take the trail to Skillern and Big Smoky; it's epic Idaho singletrack that practically dumps you in a riverside pool. Though the springs are just three miles from a trailhead near Fairfield, the best way to tag them is on the tail end of a ride from Galena Summit, 25 miles to the north. Riders drop nearly 5,000 vertical feet on smooth, screaming singletrack that winds through alpine meadows and rock outcroppings before depositing them in thick forest along the creek. At the end, simply hop off your bike and slip into soothing goodness.
Just a stone's skip from Big Smoky Creek and right off the trail, Skillern is a natural grotto fed by a boiling shower that seeps out of overhanging granite. Though the main pool is soakable all year, when the creek runs low it reveals two additional couple-sized pools, where scalding water mixes with creek flow for a perfect midcurrent soak.
Keep your eyes and ears tuned to your surroundings for another sweet payoff: The Smokys are patrolled by their own wolves, the Soldier Mountain Pack. Numbering eight adults (in the most recent USFW survey), the pack hunts elk and rabbit in the rolling hills outside Fairfield, a pristine expanse of sage and pine ignored by the fun-seekers drawn to nearby Sun Valley. Up the trail from Skillern, head to the personal-size tubs of Big Smoky Springs, which lie among the roots and pine needles 5.5 miles upstream along Big Smoky Creek. These clandestine eddies–hidden in thick underbrush and smelling of pungent pine–take some poking around to find, but once you do, you won't be jumping back in the saddle anytime soon.
If mountain biking's not your thing, tackle the route on foot from the Fairfield side. To make it worthy of a long weekend, take a detour before the springs at Paradise Creek. Hoof 30 miles total, past 9,708-foot Paradise Peak, down the West Fork of Big Smoky Creek, and then back down the Big Smoky Creek Trail, where you'll hit the springs on the way out.
Getting There
To ride to Galena Summit, get a lift to the pullout at the top of the pass, and follow the obvious dirt road on the east side down to the Salmon River headwaters. Turn south, and pedal over the Big Smoky Divide to the Big Smoky Creek Trail. The springs are three miles north of Canyon Transfer Camp, near the end of the ride.

Go in spring or summer; the place teems with hunters come fall. Big Smoky Trail is closed during the winter.

Soak Here Now
Couple of comments.
1. There's several other springs in the Gila besides Turkey, many of them decent, and a couple of them a bit easier hikes. Some of Gila's springs get hot enough to need side-pool cooling.
2. There's other places in Yellowstone where springs and creeks mingle to get nearer right soaking temperature.
3. Can't believe you left off the hot springs at Big Bend. Late fall-early winter is perfect.
Unless something has changed since January (2013) the Gwaii hot springs are still dry after an earthquake cut off their water supply back in October 2012. The photo of them in the email caught my attention and I wondered if this had been added as an update.
In the eastern united states, don't forget Hot Springs, NC. The AT runs through town. Lots of great hiking in the area such as Max Patch Bald.
Unless something dramtic has happened since 2006 the Springs at Dunanda are not "110 degrees," close to their source they're scalding.Extreme caution is warranted IMO.
I think MR. bubbles is awesome. I reccomend soled footwear for all the springs, especially the shifting/rumbling crust of Mr.Bubbles.
I miss the west! any hotsprings near New Hampshire!?
Last I checked Idaho was on the west side of Yellowstone. Making for a quite a long trip if you are trying to get to the southeast corner of the park. But then if you're going to the southeast corner you won't really be looking to hike/backpack in the Bechler Area anyway.
You missed 2 beauties in Southeast Alaska. White Sulphur Hotsprings on Chichagoff Island. The pool is right on the edge of the Pacific. Incredibly vistas as you soak. There is a US Forest Service Cabin that can be reserved and paid for online. The Forest Service cabins are rustic but wonderful.
The other hotsprings is just a bit south of Sitka-capital of Russian America, Paris of the Pacific. There are 2 separate tubs maintained by Sitkans.The tubs are in separate Panabode shelters. Well loved by the local fishing fleet. Across the bay there is a cabin that can be rented through the city offices.
Oops-there's one more. It's in the small village of Tenakee. Tenakee is a non-motorized town with a great little harbor. The hotsprings is a bathhouse in the middle of town with alternating mens and women's hours for soaking. Beware, if you're soaking when the Alaska Ferry arrives, you might be part of the local attractions as curious ferry riders disembark to take a peek.
Zack: You're just trying to discourage people from visiting this place because you want it to be your own private little spot. Give it a rest. There's plenty of nature to go around.
Im with Eric, stay away hippies!
It's for the better that the coordinates are wrong. Please stop writing about our backcountry thermal areas - they're incredibly dangerous, and encouraging people to venture off-trail is not a great idea. For the record, the "hot spring" that backpacker is encouraging you to swim in at the ferris fork is actually a semi-active geyser. When it erupts with someone in there, the death will be attributable to poor editorship on the part of backpacker.
Thanks for the article! A hot springs hiking trip sounds fantastic during this cold winter. If youre in the area Umpqua Hot Springs in Oregon is also a fantastic place to go!
I don't know if you can still get there from here but the 1 time I made it to Sespe I went in from Mutau Flat. From the Frazier Park and Gorman side. Be in good shape. Harder to hike out then hike in. Bring lots of water. Awesome place and the only encounter I had was with a mad wild possum. Remember though this place is infamous because Charlie Manson (yes, that Charlie Manson) had his hippie lawyer killed here. But that was in the days when you could drive to the Sespe Hot Springs. And when there was a road (from Rose Valley).
I believe thatthe coordinates are wrong for Ferris Fork....IF you plot Ferris Fork UTM: 12T 0590482E 4903815N you are about 7 miles OUTSIDE of the park boundries to the east. I think the right coordinates are 12T 05090482E 4903815N The 0 & 9 are transposed on the Easting

|360 degree techniques
Gary Hawkey
Posted: Jul 11, 2012Total Posts: 4
Is there a way to get multiple rotations or overlap on a 360 degree pano? This would be very useful for cropping.
Another way this could be handled is if you could take a column or two from your pano before stitching and move it from back to front or vice versa.
It might be helpful if you could hover over frames in stitcher and see the files names, that way it would be a lot easier to manually rename the files, although still not nearly as easy as dragging a column of frames.
thanks in advance

750 mL bottle poured into a tumbler. Reviewed from notes.
Appearance - Deep burnt orange. Nice white head that retains well.
Smell - Yeasty, phenolic, and cidery. Strange medicinal notes, too.
Taste - Fruity esters, banana-like phenols. Very apple-y. Bitter, which I don't mind, but it eventually becomes the central flavor.
Mouthfeel - Bitter. Well carbonated. Dry.
Overall - Tough style to pull off, and I can't say they did here. Weird stuff going on.

picked up a couple bottles in Feb/March(?) from the brewery in Gville.
poured into a CCB snifter
a slight gusher, had a hard time keeping the head at a reasonable level. tight carbonation, straight white head, golden straw color with minimal cloudiness.
smells typical of a tripel, yeast spice and raw grains.
complexity in the malts, black pepper and a muted banana. spices abound, this has a bit more depth than what i had expected.
medium body, zippy carbonation, short to medium-short finish with yeast notes.
Overall i was pleasantly surprised by this one. I often consider Swamp Head a slightly below average FL brewery (though they do have some nice offerings), and while i wouldnt put this in the same league as Chimay white or some other trappist examples, it is very good. Had i the opportunity, i would have purchased more than the 2 i did.

Thanks to moose3285, who has since been upgraded to moose9998, since that's his trader score out of a possible 10,000. This here bottle arrived in our latest epic trade as an extra, my third Swamp Head, all courtesy of the moose. One was amazing, one sub-par. Is this the tie-breaker? 750 ML bottle split with my wife.
Pour has a vigorous, borderline annoying head that surges up out of the glass even on a gentle pour. I can actually hear the carbonation popping off like leprechaun firecrackers off the surface. Unclear golden, with yellow highlights, light. The nose is a heady belt of yeast, plus minor chords of grain & lemon. Very legit.
Batch 300 is a tripel with plucky depth. Big spicy notes from the yeast, combined with the over-enthusiastic carbonation, make for a tongue-tickling experience. I belch after only two or three sips....ahh. Nice light fruits, lemon, with an ending that's slightly bitter, or tart, my tongue can't quite tell the difference. There's an echo of mustiness that mutes the flavors as the beer warms, & it dings the flavor. Damn easy to drink, though, & I do like the spritzy, almost champagne-like experience.
This one feels...so close. One of those beers that is only a tweak here & crank there from reaching up into excellent. That mustiness...it really hurts the vibrancy of the flavors, which were really singing. But still a good beer.

Poured from fresh bottle Dec 25, 2012 into generic tall tulip glass. Pours hazy yellowish orange with medium creamy head and nice bubbles fizzing up from the bottom nonstop. Aroma is pears, honey, apples, mango, bit of yeast and ever so slight spice. Smells excellent. Medium bodied with steong pear and honey flavor. Slight bitter on the finish with a lingering sweetness and banana. Clean finish. Very nice offering from Swamp Head. Pretty labeling too.

Single finger head forms late after poor on a muddy golden with copper hues body. Aroma of pale malts, grains, orange peek, yeast and herbs mostly clove. Spicy, herbal, hits of grass, citrus is mildly tart and mostly of orange peel with nice yeast presence. Initially the finish was a bit medicinal but this was less prevalent as this one was enjoyed. Medium body and moderate to high carbonation with a semi dry finish. This one is not too bad. Would make an excellent base beer for barrel aging. Nice example of the style as well.

Pours a hazy gold with one finger thick dense creamy white head. Settles slowly leaving a thick ring and a few thick rings down the glass. Smell: sparse... grainy with background pale malt sweetness, whiffs of pear, metal, and lemon. Taste: while the nose disappoints, this does the opposite... starting with a mouthful of ripe pear, then spicy and grassy, sugary white grape, with candied lemon peel and a medicinal note hitting towards the end of the sip. Medium bodied, exceptionally creamy, leaving behind grassiness and pear. This was almost fantastic.

(WMC-TV) - An Arlington woman wants her home cleaned up after a sewer line backed up into her house.
The Mid-South has not seen a prolonged period of rain in quite some time, but Shannon Hanks recently lost almost everything in a flood. And let us tell you, this story stinks.
Hanks is in tears over the furniture in her driveway, the storage in her kitchen, the floors pulled out everywhere. And the reason for the disarray?
"My home was flooded with sewer water," she said. "I still have sewer matter on my walls, on my tub all in my bathroom. It's just everywhere."
Early last week, a grease ball in an Arlington sewer line sent raw sewage flowing into Hanks' house. She says the city originally accepted responsibility and even sent out a contractor to begin cleaning up. But that work stopped when Arlington's insurance carrier determined the city is not liable because it did not fail to maintain the sewer, was not aware of the problem, and did not create it either.
"To this point, I have not been treated fairly at all," she said.
Hanks was told to contact her insurance company, which she says offered her pennies on the dollar compared to the damage estimates she has gotten.
A rare disorder of her sympathetic nervous system, called RSD, makes coming out of pocket impossible.
"I'm on disability," said Hanks. "There's no way for me to do that."
Arlington officials say Hanks is an innocent victim, but they say they are required to follow the insurance company's lead and that Hanks' best option is to let the two insurance companies hash it out.
"Very discouraging," she said. "Very discouraging."
While she continues to live in disarray smeared with fecal matter, the same thing happened to another house around the block.
The sewer line was repaired. Town officials reiterate that they are concerned about the issue, but can do no more.

Photo essay of our last 48 hours.
So we have this glass cube of a satellite kitchen at the top of Diamond Mountain, with a view of the Farallons to the west and the Sierras to the east, equipped with Rational ovens, induction burners, massage chairs, heated floors, voice-command daiquiri machine, and Caddyshack/Die Hard on constant loop. We sprung for the extra $3,500,000 on a solar-powered cloaking device, so it's invisible on sunny days, and in the fogbank on others, which means Don't try to find it.
Gustavo and I have been working with Bradley Borchardt, developing menu items for our temporary switch to Asian comfort food in the Solbar Lounge for January-March 2013.

Search Films by Country
A multi-layered and poignant thriller interweaving the personal lives of a state prosecution investigator (Ricardo Darin) and a judge, with a manhunt spanning twenty-five years.
Winner: Academy Award, Best Foreign Language Film
"The wonder is that the film balances its many genres, from the thorns of murder to the bloom of romance to the thickets of politics, with such easy grace. 4/4"—Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
"This beautiful film, directed with subtlety and grace by Juan José Campanella, really is about moving from fear to love."—Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
"Secret is bound to linger in the memory for years."—Betsy Sharkey, LA Times
Why does the law bestow on private corporations the rights of individuals citizen, but few of the responsibilities? Since its supremely successful release in 2002 this homegrown documentary has only (and sadly) grown more timely. Screening here in a newly revised 2 hour cut specifically aimed at educational distribution networks.
"A cogent, compelling, powerful argument, and a terrific movie."—Glenn Kenny, Premiere
Canada, France
For his first North American movie the acclaimed French filmmaker Laurent Cantet (The Class; Time Out) came to Canada to film Joyce Carol Oates' novel about a girl gang in the 1950s. Inspired by their leader, "Legs", the gang fights back against disciplinarian school masters, abusive employers, predatory males and neglectful parents — eventually establishing their own quasi-"collective". "A frequently thrilling evocation of teen lives." Empire
"A frequently thrilling evocation of teen lives. Proof that The Class and Time Out were no pan flashes. 4/5"—Angie Errigo, Empire
"Impressively directed and superbly written, this is a riveting and emotionally engaging drama with some thought-provoking ideas and terrific performances from its young cast of unknowns. Highly recommended."—Matt Turner, View
"As beautiful as it is surprising, Cantet's Foxfire girls appear like the ancestors of Pussy Riot."—Les Inrockuptibles
France, Poland, Denmark
Polish-born, UK-based filmmaker Pawlikowski (My Summer of Love) returns to his native land for this evocative, resonant art film about a novice nun discovering a family secret in the 1960s. Beautifully shot in black and white, this award-winning drama has been compared to the work of Francois Truffaut and Robert Bresson.
"In a very short time, Pawlikowski's film tells us a powerful, poignant story with fine, intelligent performances." — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"This story of faith and despair is gracefully told, its simple, uncluttered spaces and luminous black-and-white photography harking back to Robert Bresson."— JR Jones, Chicago Reader
"It's absolutely stunning, one of the year's best films, and a fulfillment of the promise that the director has shown for so long." — Oli Lyttleton, Indiewire

In a future where a failed global-warming experiment kills off most life on the planet, a class system evolves aboard the Snowpiercer, a bullet train that travels around the globe via a perpetual-motion engine. From acclaimed director Bong Joon-ho (The Host; Mother; Memories of Murder) comes the coolest action pic of the summer, a class allegory delivered with slambang violence, visual panache, and delirious conviction - and starring Captain America himself!
"Politically provocative and visually spectacular Snowpiercer — the best action film of 2014, and probably the best film, period." — Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"Watching it, I was reminded of the first time I experienced The Matrix or District 9. Snowpiercer sucks you into its strange, brave new world so completely, it leaves you with the all too rare sensation that you've just witnessed something you've never seen before ... and need to see again and again. A" — Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly
"Gets at a kind of daring, giddy excitement that plays like something our movies have lost." — Joshua Rothkopf, Time Out New York
More than one critic compared Jacques Audiard's forceful, rich prison drama to The Godfather. Audiard uses the prison as a microcosm in this allegory for how to get ahead in the twenty-first century.
"If Malik doesn't remind you of Al Pacino's Michael Corleone on his journey from innocence to corruption in The Godfather saga, well ... he should. A Prophet is similarly, startlingly momentous."—Steven Rea, Philadeliphia Inquirer
"It's a highly original film made in a familiar context, and an exciting moviegoing experience you shouldn't miss."—Andrew O'Hehir, Salon
"A Prophet is the kind of film that makes you remember why going to the movies can be a thrilling experience."—Marjorie Baumgarten, Austin Chronicle
Loosely based on a real incident involving a Cistercian order of monks kidnapped by Islamic fundamentalists in Algeria, Beauvois's film is an austere but gripping meditation on faith and fraternity.
"Of Gods and Men, a transcendent drama of uplift and inspiration, reveals the cavernous divide between heaven and Earth."—Peter Howell, Globe and Mail
"Beautiful, somber and rigorously intelligent."—AO Scott, New York Times

Andrei Serban's staging of Puccini's final opera is a glorious pageant of rich colour, dance and drama. Turandot is a tale of disguised identities, riddles, ritual executions and powerful, triumphant love.
Paris in 1855, when the opera was first performed, provides the starting point for the interpretation by celebrated Norwegian born director Stefan Herheim. The opera ballet plays a significant role too, with Johann Kobborg choreographing for dancers from the Royal Ballet and Royal Danish Ballet. The story is set to impassioned and dramatic music, rich in showpiece arias and ensembles with striking choruses. Antonio Pappano conducts a world-class cast including Erwin Schrott, Bryan Hymel and Lianna Haroutounian in The Royal Opera's first ever staging of Verdi's grand opera.

Powerful music, a gripping story and a tragic end: Puccini's ever-popular Tosca performed with a fabulous cast. Among the star singers in this revival are Angela Gheorghiu, Jonas Kaufmann and Bryn Terfel. Jonathan Kent's detailed production draws to the full on the historical backdrop of Rome in 1800, an atmospheric backdrop to the love of the beautiful diva Tosca, the idealism of her lover Cavaradossi and the deadly, destructive obsession of the malevolent Chief of Police, Scarpia.
Daniele Abbado explores themes of identity, exile and religion in a powerful staging of Verdi's epic opera. War has broken out between the Babylonians and Israelites. The Israelites have captured Fenena, younger daughter of the Babylonian King, Nabucco. In revenge, Nabucco vows to destroy Jerusalem, aided by the vengeful Abigaille.
"Domingo's career, 42 years at Covent Garden and counting, continues to be a wonder of the age." The Guardian
A lost key and an accidental touch of cold hands in the dark – so begins one of the great romances of all opera. In his depiction of the tender and ultimately tragic love between Mimì and Rodolfo, Puccini achieved an immediacy, warmth and humanity that have rarely been equalled.
Kasper Holten, ROH Director of Opera, presents a mesmerizing new production of Mozart's sublime tragicomedy. The impulsive and charismatic Don Giovanni travels through Europe seducing women, accompanied by his long-suffering servant Leporello. When he commits murder, he unleashes vengeance from beyond the grave.
Puccini's first triumph returns to Covent Garden for the first time in 20 years in a new staging by Jonathan Kent. The exciting Latvian soprano Kristine Opolais sings the title role. A consummate Puccini soprano, Opolais caused a sensation as Madama Butterfly in 2011, and with Manon Lescaut, the bold but impressionable heroine, we will see a very different side of her. She is matched in star power by Jonas Kaufmann as her lover, Des Grieux, and Christopher Maltman as her cynical brother Lescaut. Kent's vision of a young girl who faces temptation in the big city will surely resonate with today's audience.
Jesse Eisenberg take 2: here he's timid office worker Simon James, a non-person to most, including the lovely Hannah (Mia Wasikowska), a co-worker who is also the apple of his eye. Enter charismatic young hotshot James Simon (Eisenberg again). No one seems to notice he's the spitting image of Simon, and though at first he feigns a certain friendliness to his near-namesake, it's not long before the new man has begun to take over his job, his apartment, his girl, his entire life... Richard Aoyade's Dostoevsky adaptation riffs on Kafka, Welles and Gilliam to chillingly hilarious effect.

"Daring, hilarious and wickedly clever."—The Playist (Indiewire)
