Growing up in a house where I had parents who weren't so keen on me listening to heavy metal, I had to be careful of what I brought home to listen to. Certainly a band called Satan wasn't going to do me any favors with mom, no matter that the band wasn't "satanic" at all. I believe I had an unmarked dubbed tape version for years which got me through my teens.
Satan's full length debut, Court in the Act, came out in 1983 and it didn't grace my ears probably until about 1984 or 1985 after Metal Blade Records picked the album up for USA distribution. To be straightforwardly honest, Court in the Act is probably my favorite NWOBHM release ever, Iron Maiden's back catalog notwithstanding. The album was perfect, mainly because of the clean vocal stylings of Brian Ross. Easily one of my favorite singers of all time. After Brian left, they followed up with 2 other releases, Into the Future and Suspended Sentence, and to be honest I thought they were terrible. Looking back, it was the new vocalist that killed it for me.
Court has remained in steady rotation for the last 25+ years and will continue to be. A year or so ago new came out that Satan was reuniting with the original lineup to record a new album. To say I was hesitant about hearing a new album by a band that hadn't done anything in almost 30 years is an understatement. Typically reunion albums suck.
Satan's 2013 release entitled Life Sentence, however, does not suck. Not in the least. To be truthful, this album is pretty stellar. I finally picked it up last week and have listened to it at least 4 times.
Ross' vocals sound great and not over-produced or "fixed". The album as a whole has a very raw sound. Very natural and a perfect followup to Court. Sure, Brian's no spring chicken now and hitting those sweet high notes like he used to do isn't really possible, but it doesn't detract to a great vocal performance on Life Sentence.
The whole album just sounds like Satan should. Clean, powerful, melodic. True NWOBHM. The songs are catchy and memorable. I am quite pleasantly surprised as to how good the album is. Time to Die, Twenty Twenty Five, Tears of Blood and Another Universe are the standout tracks for me. If I had to pick a least favorite, it would be the title track, Life Sentence. Not a bad song by any means, but just didn't grab my ear like the rest of the album.
That being said, if you're even a minor fan of Court in the Act, get Life Sentence ASAP. You shall not be disappointed.

Power Trip – Manifest Decimation (2013) Album Review
Having seen Power Trip several times since FUNFUNFUN fest 2010, I had always wanted a full length album from them. Thanks to Southern Lord Records, I got my wish.
Power Trip take me back to quality mid-to-late 80s thrash…Nuclear Assault, Devastation, a little Slayer…and thankfully, I don't hear any Pantera (Panterrible) influence. A lot of folks mention the DRI crossover punk/hardcore thing, but I never really listened to any of that so I cannot say for sure. I may hear a little Cro Mags, though. And I do like the Cro Mags. This young band from Dallas does it right. It's high quality thrash and unlike many of the screamo shit mall hot topic metal bands out there today, these guys play guitar solos. You heard me. GUITAR SOLOS! Good ones, too.
I bought this CD (yes, a CD) last week and have spun it at least 10 times now. I absolutely love it. If you're into classic thrash, I highly recommend this band. There are a lot of newer retro thrash bands out there, but I think Power Trip is a cut above them all.
While I like Riley's singing style, I think they could have been produced a little better. They are washed in the mix too much for my tastes. But it's not much of a detraction from the overall vibe and sound of this album. I also don't think there are any songs worth skipping on here. It works perfectly beginning to end. The album runs through quickly and can easily be played through twice.
9/10 – Enjoy!

The Black Crowes Concert Review, Austin, TX 4/27/2013
It was 1990 and The Black Crowes were all over the radio and rightfully so. Shake Your Money Maker went multi-platinum. I'm a big fan of their first 3 and like a handful of songs from 3 Snakes and a Charm and By Your Side, but they lost me throughout the 2000s. In 1990 and 1991 I was drumming for a country band because I couldn't find a metal band that played what I wanted to play. The country band had She Talks to Angels in the setlist regularly and I think we did Hard To Handle a few times as well…of course with a country twang to it. It was an enjoyable gig and I was making decent money as we were the house band in a club for quite a while.
For whatever reason I had never seen them live. It always seemed like something came up that had me miss them. Finally last night I got to see them and it was worth the wait. The brothers Robinson were on their game last night for the sold out show at Stubb's in Austin, TX. I had been watching the setlists from this current tour and they do like Cheap Trick where every night is a different list. That's really cool and tough to do, but it keeps the band fresh and they were fresh last night.
About 4 songs into the set it started to rain a little and I looked at the radar on my phone and saw that a huge storm was coming through so I went and stood under an awning. Then the bottom fell out. some folks crowded under the awnings where they could, some just left soaking wet but the majority of the crowd just stood there in the rain. And it kept raining heavily. I couldn't see the band from where I was but I could hear them perfectly and it was still great. When the lightning started, the band was apparently advised to cut it short. They did an encore of 2 songs and that was it, unfortunately 30 minutes short. Right after it ended, the rain stopped. I met up with some friends who were also there and carried on with our night. One friend I ran into said that they were surprised that I was a fan of the Crowes. For me the explanation is easy. While I'm not a big fan of the blues and bluesy rock, I am a Rolling Stones fanatic and The Black Crowes remind me of them so much. For me it just seems natural to like them.
Fun show. I look forward to their next trip to town.

Ignitor Mix Tape '85 Review
My history with Ignitor isn't that deep as I only picked up on them when Jason McMaster joined the band in 2009ish. That doesn't detract from the Erika Tandy era at all, I just went backwards with their discography. Ignitor is quality metal, no matter which era you're listening to.
Ignitor's latest offering is a download only album of classic covers. It's a great mix of classic metal covering some of my favorites bands.
McMaster was made to cover all of these bands giving them his unique vocal flair and Ignitor in general stayed pretty true to these songs without taking any real liberties in the music. The Stuart "Batlord" solos are all pretty incredible and the opening solo to Into the Coven gave me chills when I first heard it. He completely nailed the tone. While I admit that I'm not the biggest fan of Exodus' Bonded By Blood or Exciter's Violence and Force, these covers are well done. I'm especially impressed with their version of Anthrax's Deathrider. Fistful of Metal often gets overlooked in Anthrax conversations. The cover of Highway Star has the proper intro like Deep Purple's original and the heaviness of Metal Church's version. I'm also a huge fan of Witching Hour. And you gotta love that album cover!
You can stream the album here and I recommend that you buy it from iTunes or Amazon ASAP! Both are under $8!
Quality metal covers from a quality metal band.
"DEATHRIDER" – Anthrax
"FAST AS A SHARK" – Accept
"VIOLENCE AND FORCE" – Exciter
"INTO THE COVEN" – Mercyful Fate
"WITCHING HOUR" – Venom
"HELL BENT FOR LEATHER" – Judas Priest
"A LESSON IN VIOLENCE" – Exodus
"HIGHWAY STAR" – Deep Purple

Venomous Maximus – Beg Upon The Light (2012) Review
I had seen Venomous Maximus at least 6 or 7 times before finally putting ears to any of their studio work. They are always a treat live. Super solid, energetic and G. Lee Higgins is the right person to front this band that calls Houston, TX its home.
A few weeks back at a show I bought their latest release, Beg Upon the Light. It took me almost 2 weeks to finally get around to listening to it and now I feel like I have wasted 2 weeks! I had to drive to Houston and back this week (2.5 hours each way) and listened to this 3 times on the drive. Oh my!
This album is very well-produced. I guess they are considered "stoner/doom" metal. I hear so much more classic metal sounds that came from Metal Blade and other classic labels. I hear elements of Tyrant, Damien Thorne, Mercyful Fate, Black Sabbath and Cirith Ungol.
Higgins' voice may take some time for folks to get used to. I, for one, think they're perfect for the band. There's no death growl that is so rampant in the stoner/doom genre these days. His voice is clean and clear and typically lower than most metal singers today. Think King Diamond's low vocals with Mercyful Fate with a little more "umph" behind them or maybe even those from early Moonspell (Wolfheart). He has a really good sorrowful wail to his style.
The rest of band is spot on with their delivery. I especially like Christian's solos (I always want more solos!). His solo intro on Path of Doom is such a beautiful nod to Mercyful Fate. Bongo and Trevi round out the rhythm section perfectly.
Favorite tracks would be Path of Doom, Battle for the Cross, Hell's Heroes and Moonchild.
I highly recommend this album and so far I'd call it my favorite album of 2012. 10/10. Go see them live!
You can stream the whole album here. Find them on Facebook, too.

text: I can't figure out why there are not more reveiws for this album. Foghat is great. They play loud, boogie metal. I have listened to this album so many times it's not funny. This and Bad Company's debut are the two most worn albums I own. If you like 70's metal, you must own this. The band is tight and they just blow the socks off of most other bands playing heavy rock in the 70's. I almost think they were better then Zeppelin…..

AMCA Country Cup action will continue at the Blue Ribbon Raceway tomorrow night with a strong field of 15 drivers nominating to contest round four.
Victorian champion Jamie Collins and South Australia, Northern Territory and Queensland champion Tim Reidy are set to headline, with the night to feature about 20 races.
The AMCA race will be supported by other events, involving Horsham Motor Sports Club's ASCF Ladies, Street Stocks, Three Litre-Production Sedans and V8 Truck drivers.
Club spokeswoman Emma Bansemer said the club was excited about an entertaining night of racing.
"It should be a nice night with a lot of good racing. Hopefully the weather won't be too hot," she said.
"We've got a few really good drivers there some of them are doing a fair bit of travelling to get here.
"We're probably expecting a couple of hundred spectators." Mrs Bansemer said points from the support races would go towards the club's driver's championship and class awards.
"There's that bit of extra incentive to head to each race meeting with points available," she said.
Mrs Bansemer highlighted reigning club driver's champion Kathryn Wilken, ASCF Ladies class, as a driver to watch out for, along with Luke James, Street Stocks and V8 Trucks, and Steve Ellis and Steve Hately, both driving Three Litre-Production sedans .
She said the club wanted to provide a family-friendly environment, with the night scheduled to finish by 10.30pm and spectators able to view the action from the comfort of their own vehicles.
"We're encouraging families and young people to come along, but anyone can get enjoyment out of it," she said.
Gates open at 5.30pm, with racing scheduled to start at 6.30pm.

Every season, many players are put on waivers and offers are made after the trade deadline, but you usually don't hear specifics about what offers are made for whom. We have a report about a trade offer the Braves received from the Rangers for J. Upton.
Bob Nightengale from USA Today reported that the Rangers offered SP Matt Garza, RP Joe Nathan and OF David Murphy for Upton. (Story report from KFFL: http://www.kffl.com/hotw/MLB?all=1#ixzz2foj2DY3W)
If the Rangers offered that for BJ Upton, I'm thinking there's a chance there'd be a new CF in Texas...although given how badly we got fleeced on the Teixeira deal, I honestly would be fine never trading with the Rangers again. Any thoughts about the offer?

A Safer Missouri, the organization funded by Rex Sinquefield to give control of the St. Louis Police Department over to Mayor Slay and his democratic political machine, is proud to announce on their website that they've been endorsed by La Raza.
A search of their websites reveals they publicly support Latino issues and collectivism (Socialism). What they really support is illegal immigration and Sanctuary cities--American cities that refuse to enforce federal immigration laws. The reason they support local control is they believe the implementation of Sanctuary City policy in St. Louis should be determined by the local sympathetic big city politician regardless of regional concerns.
Sanctuary City policies are championed by liberal cities across the country to encourage illegal aliens to migrate to their city. Illegal aliens children are entitled to the welfare and medical benefits of this country. Welfare benefits fuel the local economy of big cities like St. Louis and Kansas City. Sanctuary City policies hamper the police and make it illegal for police to inquire into a criminal's illegal alien status. The police are hamstrung by these policies and the police cannot force subjects to produce identification or report to Immigration Customs Enforcement as illegal aliens.
These policies have produced spikes in crime in assorted cities. Texas Governor Rick Perry attempted to address the issue after an illegal alien killed a popular Houston Texas Police Officer.
The state of Missouri outlawed sanctuary cities under the administration of then Governor Matt Blunt. The state laws means nothing if the local authorities operating on big city political considerations order their police to disregard the letter of the law. LaRaza knows that local control is a precursor to turning St. Louis into a sanctuary city which would be bad for the St. Louis Police Department and worse for St. Louis residents and visotors.
"The GOP committee said it is opposing Proposition A due to the Democratic party's dominance of city politics."
"Some feel that the city of St. Louis no longer operates under a two-party system," the group stated. "They further feel that, if the city controls the police department, some of that control would flow to the party running the city."
By Jo Mannies, Beacon political reporter
Activists are circulating a letter from association president David Bonenberger, which asks voters to reject the change.
The letter takes verbal shots about the alliance of Mayor Francis Slay, who long has sought local control, and wealthy financier Rex Sinquefield, who helped bankroll the initiative petition drive that got the proposal on the ballot.
The association joins the local chapters of the ACLU, the NAACP, among others challenging Proposition A on various grounds.
Slay and his allies, including Democratic state Senate nominee Jamilah Nasheed, maintain that it's time for the city to run its own police department and that the change could lead to greater efficiencies and better operations.
Bonenberger disagrees, noting that the police association "has been fighting against local control for our 44-year history. Why you may ask. Quite simply because state control through the five-member Board of Police Commissioners works just fine."
In the letter, he continues: "Last year Mayor Francis Slay formed a very unique and unorthodox relationship with billionaire Rex Sinquefield. Sinquefield decided to dedicate $ 8 million to distribute a ballot initiative petition at the constitutional level that would have completely eliminated the police department as we know it. With that it would have eliminated our pay, benefits, and our pension. We would have been left with nothing. Midway through the year the SLPOA reached an agreement that would stop the Slay/Sinquefield attempt if we would agree to support a change in legislation to give the city control of the police department."
Bonenberger won election a year ago, as part of a split within the association over local control. He contends that Sinquefield's involvement in the local-control effort is linked to the financier's opposition to the city's earnings tax. Because of a Sinquefield-financed initiative that won statewide in 2010, St. Louis voters must vote every five years on whether to retain the tax.
As for Slay, Bonenberger contends that local control is tied to the police pensions; Slay has actively worked to revamp the pension plan for the city firefighters.
Brooke Foster* is trying to mislead us, and those out-state Missouri voters. She's not telling the whole truth. And I'll tell you why. She says above, "Then, when they find out that 70 percent of St. Louis voters voted yes on this in a symbolic referendum in 2008, they don't think they're forcing their will on St. Louis." There's a problem with this information. The symbolic referendum that 69% of the St. Louis electorate voted for in 2008 was SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT, and more locally preferred, than Prop A. It was based on a Civilian Review plan put forward by Ald. Terry Kennedy (D-18th), it included input from other local elected officials and community activists and community organization and maintained transparency of disciplinary proceedings' records; this upstart Prop A tries to escape all of this. In 2008, 69% of the St. Louis electorate voted for a more transparent, more accountable STL Police Department. "Then they find out..." in truth, could be abated by a Safer Mssouri statement like, "The 2008 referendum was very different from the current proposition." But neither Brooke, nor her Safer Missouri cronies, nor their billionarie shadow-daddy Rex Sinquefield, have pointed out that difference. So let's know the facts, because Safer Missouri, Rex Sinquefield and Prop A are trying to deceive us.
*Note: Brooke Foster, spokesperson for the Prop A campaign, " Safer Missouri."

Rep. Gary Fuhr (R) talks about the history, current events, pending legislation, and oversight structure as they relate to local control of the St. Louis city Police Department. Fuhr is opposed to restoring local control in part because of the absence of appropriate checks and balances that the current system of state control provides; however, this segment is apolitical focusing rather on many of the issues surrounding the debate.

The Speaker of the Missouri House, Steve Tilley, advocates for local control of the St. Louis Police Department. He's gone so far as to appoint an ally of the New Black Panther Party to chair the committee that the Local Control bill (HB 71) was assigned to. Tilley's demonstrated a lack of judgement and opportunistic leadership in his rush to get the Local Control bill passed.

Gary Wiegert had a weekly radio call in show "CONSTITUTIONALLY CORRECT" on WGNU 920 AM . He discussed local Tea Party news and St. Louis city politics. You can listen to the shows as downloaded from the WGNU website if you missed it.
Citizens of Missouri
I am asking Missouri citizens to vote no Prop A on November 6th.
Currently four St. Louis city citizens are appointed by the Governor, along with St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay to serve on the St. Louis Board of Police Commissioners.
---A NO vote would allow citizen commissioners to continue to hire, fire and establish rules for St. Louis city police officers.
--- A yes vote for the prop A proposal; citizens would lose their ability to administer the police department, and control would revert ONLY to the mayor and his"city democratic political machine".
This statewide vote was financed by Rex Sinquefield and his powerful lobbyists. To receive the support of all factions a back door collective bargaining agreement was made between the St. Louis Police Board, Mayor Slay and The Police Officer's Association (union).This did not include the other 2 labor organizations. There are 3 labor organizations on the St. Louis police Department, -The Ethical Society of Police (African American officers) -Leadership Organization (supervisors) and the -Saint Louis Police Officers Association (SLPOA) (union). The police union has always been against local control (Proposition A) and did not switch positions until the union was granted collective bargaining with binding arbitration and the enforcement of "Fair Share". Fair Share is the forced collection of dues from non members of the union.
Fair Share is designed to stifle competition. I was president of the union for 6 years and did not support fair share because competition makes a leader more responsive to the needs of the membership.
This local control issue has enabled the present union to be bullies, as they extract union dues from non members and expelled me from the union for practicing free speech against Prop A.
The St. Louis Police Pension Fund has 600 million in cash assets and Mayor Francis Slay switched his stance on local control, and seeks that money to finance Aerotropolis, the Cardinals Ballpark Village and a retractable dome for the St. Louis Rams.
Recently Mayor Slay paid the law firm Thompson Coburn a no bid contract $250,000.00 to administer a policy to circumvent payments to the St. Louis Firemen Pension Fund. In return Thompson Coburn contributed $40,000.00 to Mayor Slay's campaign committee. This type of corruption should not be used for the purchase of police equipment or weaponry in the future.
If you support citizens administering their own police department and not run by a corrupt union and democratic political machine then please

Official Ballot Title
Proposition A
A "yes" vote will amend Missouri law to allow any city not within a county (the City of St. Louis) the option of establishing a municipal police force by transferring certain obligations and control of the city's police force from the board of police commissioners currently appointed by the governor to the city. This amendment also establishes certain procedures and requirements for governing such a municipal police force including residency, rank, salary, benefits, insurance, and pension. The amendment further prohibits retaliation against any employee of such municipal police force who reports conduct believed to be illegal to a superior, government agency, or the press.
A "no" vote will not change the current Missouri law regarding St. Louis City's police force.
If passed, this measure will have no impact on taxes.

A craniotomy is a surgery during which a piece of the skull (a bone flap) is removed in order to allow a surgeon access to the brain. After the surgery is performed, the bone flap is returned to its previous location, where it can heal and mend like any broken bone. In many cases, metal plates are used to hold the bone flap in place so that it can heal, much like a cast for a broken arm.
A craniectomy procedure also includes the removal of a bone flap, but in this case it is not returned to its location after the procedure is finished. This may be due to trauma to the bone itself, because the brain is too swollen to permit the return of the bone flap, or because the surgeon feels it is in the patient's best interest. If there is infection in the area, for example, the bone flap may be discarded.
If a bone flap is removed, but not able to be returned during the procedure, it can still be put back into place at a later time. In this situation, the surgeon will place the bone flap in another location. In most cases, the surgeon will place the flap in the abdomen, under the fatty tissue, where it is protected and preserved by the patient's own body.
If the bone flap cannot be returned, prosthetics and artificial bone are also available to aid the reconstruction at a later date.

Sorry maybe off topic but need opinion(s)I actually have two questions or topics to discuss.
1) has anyone dropped advertising in your phone company's book and had success with a phone book not associated with the landline phone companies book.?
2) Has anyone dropped their landline phone and replaced it entirely with a Cell phone or variations of cell phone equipment?
thanks and please assist

Answers1. No, but we're quite unhappy with SuperMedia, which handles yellow pages (and other things) in our area. We're looking at options.
2- No, and we don't plan to. Unless cell phones become as reliable as landline phones, we're not doing that. And cell phones are getting worse, not better."Reducing our country's energy consumption, one system at a time"

According to their sales people...Not having an add in their Yellow Pages is considered economic suicide. We use to poll our customers about how they got in touch with us, and the least popular method was (drum roll please) The Yellow Pages!! We estimated that it was costing on the order of $250 per lead generated from THE book.
As for a land line, I have one, but am on the road so much, that it really doesn't do me much good. I only list my cell phone number on my business card. I don't even own a FAX machine (GASP!!!)
As for phone lines, there are many options out there that excludes the Bells of the world.
I can tell you one thing you don't want to do or try, and that is cancel your Y.P. agreement after the book is in print. Their attorneys are more numerous and powerful than yours, and they rarely lose a case in court...
Personally, I don't even use the YP for anything any more. The internet is much more convenient.
BTW, guess what THE most popular method of contact was with the previous business.

It's less expensive and far more productive than a YP add, shows your customers that they are appreciated and the close rate with WOM customers is significantly higher than any other resource, because your capabilities and talents have already been touted by a close confidant. Customers for life are the BEST customers.
YP ads are getting so non plus. Mine goes directly from my front porch to the recycle bin, minus the refrigerator magnets... I sew them into the knees of my jeans to fight off arthritis :-)
Any one else have tracked their advertising dollars? YMMV...
MEIt's not so much a case of "You got what you paid for", as it is a matter of "You DIDN'T get what you DIDN'T pay for, and you're NOT going to get what you thought you were in the way of comfort". Borrowed from Heatboy.This post was edited by an admin on March 22, 2011 8:26 AM.

dropping YPYP always held an iron grip on business owners' "kadotes". We dropped the advertising including "DEX Knows" as of this April. We will depend on the internet, which was always more than 60% of the leads. The excessivfe cost of the ad and their low yields makes sense except for strictly service/repair companies, and I have my doubts there as well. Website design and search access will become more important.

A California man has sued BMW North America and a motorcycle-seat maker claiming that a four-hour round-trip ride on his 1993 BMW bike with a "ridge-like" seat gave him "a severe case of priapism (a persistent, lasting erection)" that's lasted 20 months and counting.
While there have been concerns about narrow "banana" bike seats causing loss of feeling in that area for men and women.
The product liability lawsuit against BMW and well-known aftermarket seat maker Corbin-Pacific (reported first by Courthouse News Service in California) was filed in California Superior Court in San Francisco last Thursday by Henry Wolf and his lawyer, Vernon Bradley of Sausalito.
The Wolf v. BMW lawsuit alleges that Wolf has continued to suffer the erection problem since the September 2010 ride and, as we know from Viagra ads, anything past four hours is a problem.
The lawsuit for emotional distress says Wolf is "now is unable to engage in sexual activity, which is causing him substantial emotional and mental anguish." According to the lawsuit, Wolf wants compensation from BMW and Corbin for lost wages, medical expenses, emotional distress and "general damage."
Bike riders, please take a note of this and monitor your health after every ride. Your Bicycle seat can

|About why Rumple wanted to know Snowing's child's name: I think he needed to know it because that's how he remembered who he was in Storybrooke: when they were at Granny's B&B in the Pilot and Emma introduces herself, that's when the curse was broken for him (E&A said so in one of the podcast). I think he wrote it in the paper because he want it to be imprinted in his subconscious as much as possible. He might have saved the parchment with the ink "for a rainy day", but that was it.
I agree. He definitely wanted to remember it. But he also made the parchment with the ink in it so that it would aid Emma in the future. He knew she would need it. So, he was basically killing two birds with one stone, imo. :)

There is a group of men and women which seeks to make life as difficult as possible for the progressives who support the European Union. They are members not of the UK Independence Party or the French National Front, but of the European Commission. Whenever we try to persuade our countrymen that the EU helps to raise our quality of life, defend human rights, protect the environment and ward off the market fundamentalism of the
No one has wrong-footed us as deftly as a Dutchman called Frits Bolkestein. Until November, he was the EU's internal market commissioner. In January last year, he produced a directive which claimed to be harmonising rules across the
The Services Directive was promoted, as all such measures are, as a means of creating "millions" of jobs, and it is certainly possible that it could help stimulate the European economy. But it also appears to impose on member states a compulsory commercialisation of their public services, while destroying their ability to defend their people from corporate exploitation. It is – or was – due to have been approved by the end of this year.
The gremlin inhabits a few lines of text in the middle of the treaty, concerning something called "the country of origin principle". Companies, it says, "are subject only to the national provisions of their
And then it gets really weird. The state responsible for enforcing the rules – health and safety laws for example – will be the one in which the company is based, not the one in which it is working.(3) If, for example, a Lithuanian construction company is forcing workers in the UK to use dodgy scaffolding, our own Health and Safety Executive won't be able to do a damn thing about it. Instead, the Lithuanian equivalent must send its inspectors over here, and, without local knowledge, hampered by any number of translation problems, seek to defend the lives of British workers.
Given the way such markets work, the company they are monitoring will, more likely than not, be a British one flying a Lithuanian flag of convenience. But if that company is threatening your safety on a building site in Brixton, you will be able to seek protection only by protesting to the authorities in
It's a formula, in other words, for a complete breakdown of the effective enforcement of the laws restraining corporations. The directive would, in the name of "bringing down barriers", raise such barriers for anyone trying to defend their rights that effective public complaint would become all but impossible. This, of course, is the point.
You have to read the entire text to understand what its effects will be. In the preamble, for example, it tells you that a "derogation" (meaning an exemption) from the country of origin rule should be possible for matters "related to the safety of services".(4) But when you get to Article 19 you discover that a member state may obtain a derogation for safety issues "in exceptional circumstances only". I wouldn't like to be the trade union lawyer who tries to make use of that safeguard.
At first sight the country of origin principle looks odd. The purpose of the internal market reforms was surely to engineer a single set of standards across the whole European Union. This rule, in theory, could lead to 25 different sets of standards being applied in the same country. But when you read the briefings produced by the corporate lobbyists in Brussels, you realise that it will indeed harmonise standards – at the lowest levels to be found anywhere in the European Union.(5) Once corporations have moved their nominal addresses to the countries with the weakest rules (just as ship owners register their vessels in Panama or Liberia), the countries with stricter laws will discover that to stay in the market they must drag their own standards down to match the weakest ones.
Bolkestein's timing was almost perfect. He pre-empted the outcome of four other European proposals, which between them might have defined and protected essential public services and produced a single (reasonably high) set of standards for agency workers and migrant labourers.(6) He launched, in other words, a kind of coup against social Europe.
It has caused a massive rumpus in almost every member nation, but not in the capital of Europhobia. Here in the
But last week, with no help from our own champions of self-determination, all hell broke out in
Of course, it's not over yet. The corporations and their supporters have gone beserk. The Financial Times, which has consistently ignored or misrepresented the concerns of the directive's opponents, thundered that McCreevy had "cravenly sounded the retreat before battle had even formally commenced".(8) Malcolm Harbour, a British Conservative MEP, accused the commission of disrupting democracy.(9)(Funny, isn't it, how the Tories' concerns about sovereignty evaporate when a policy is good for big business?) Peter Mandelson, our gift to the rest of the Union, has urged the Commission not to "retreat in the face of illegitimate pressures",(10) by which he appears to mean the people of
Directives like Bolkestein's test the European enthusiasm of anyone with an interest in social justice to breaking point. For those of us who recognise that absolute sovereignty is impossible in the face of globalisation, and that ours is not a choice between alignment and isolation but a choice between alignment with Europe or alignment with the
Their proposal will doubtless resurface, and when it does the people of these benighted islands owe the rest of the EU a little more public vigilance and solidarity. But for now, though we played no part in it, we can celebrate a rare victory for an old ideal.

A recent survey found rising airfare costs have pushed Millions more Americans to get behind the wheel this holiday season to get where they're going. And officers have stepped up patrols as roads get a little more congested
"Probably an increase in seat belt violations. A lot of people are in a hurry to get where they need to go and not buckling up," said Sgt. Shawn Urquhart, Georgia State Patrol.
A Trip Advisor survey found 5% more Americans will get behind the wheel this season. The cost of airfare is up 9% year-after-year, while gas prices have dropped year-after-year. That means over half of the nation's travelers will use their truck, minivan or car to meet friends and family.
"You know, this time of the year, there's a lot of parties and people want to enjoy and have fun, but we advise them if they are gonna partake in anytime of alcoholic beverage or anything to make sure they have a designated driver," said Urquhart.
Troopers said the holiday patrol period has been shortened because Christmas falls on a Wednesday this year. But speeding and other driving distractions will remain a big problem.
"You know, the cars are not like they were when I came on 30 years ago," Urquhart said. "Where a lot of cars didn't have power steering, so drunks was all over the road. But now you think you got behind a drunk, and you're actually behind somebody that's texting and driving."
Troopers said simple steps could keep you and your family from having a holiday tragedy.
"The first thing is to make sure, you know, your vehicle is safe to be on the road. And also make sure you buckle up and if you have a cruise control in your vehicle, you know, set it for the speed limit," said the Sergeant .
So allow yourself a little more time to get where you're going, Urquhard said, and have a safe holiday.
Troopers said there were 26 traffic fatalities during last year's holiday patrol, but hope to see less this year. They're reminding drivers to move over for stopped vehicles, and ask motorists to report aggressive or reckless drivers.

"A female caller reported there was an attempted assault on her mother by a male acquaintance," Kurt Heuer said.Police arrived to a home on 18th Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids and surrounded it. Authorities believed the suspect, Fosnot, may have been inside. "With the information we had, it was believed that he was still in the residence," Heuer said.They also say there were indications that he was anti-law enforcement. The Wisconsin Rapids Special Response team was on hand. Officials say they went in just after midnight but Fosnot was no where to be found. "It is believed he was able to leave prior to our arrival," Heuer said.Officials say they believe Fosnot may be heading to Columbia County because he has family there. Police reported that he may be driving a 1987 grey Toyota pickup with AF4896 plates."We believe the situation tonight was directed at an individual party," Heuer.

Dark Souls is quantifiably better than Demon's Souls
Alright, let's do this. Rose tinted glasses can be checked at the door. This intended as an unbiased evaluation of the changes made between Demon's Souls and Dark Souls. From here on out, it is acceptable to just refer to them as "Demon" and "Dark".
So From Software moved on, because of contractual arrangements with Sony, from Demon's Souls and made their own game Dark Souls. There were a lot of "spiritual successor" aspects, and frankly there are a lot of direct references that I am surprised they got away with (Patches the Hyena, Mirdian Hammer, Uchigatana, for examples). I think they genuinely made a lot of improvements, and would like to discuss them. I have recently "finished" Dark Souls (as in got the last trophy and arguably have seen all of the content). I have experimented a fair bit with "breaking" some of the mechanics and got pretty familiar with them. Because I am a glutton for punishment, I almost immediately fired up Demon's Souls. The games are both fresh in my mind and I think there can be some meaningful discussion and insight into the changes that were made.
The contract with the player
I feel that Dark Souls makes a "contract" with the player, in that you may die, but you will understand why. In another thread I called this brutal fairness. There are a number of mechanics that support this:
- Warning signs: Often when you enter an area that you are not prepared for, there is a "gate keeper" to keep you away. Some examples are Hawel, the "un-killable" skeletons on the way to the Catacombs, and the first Giant Skeleton on the way into the Tomb of Giants. These gate keepers send a pretty clear message: If you can't get past me, TURN BACK NOW.
- Good for the goose: Enemies are subject to the same rules as the players. They suffer falling damage, clang off of walls (sometimes) and shields, and have a stamina gauge. Just like the player, then can exhaust themselves. This is completely "fair" as the same happens to the player. What would happen if they didn't have stamina gauges? You'd have Demon's Souls!
- Show the way: There will always be some indication of where you can go. There have been a few articles written on how Sen's Fortress is a tailored learning experience. Clearly massive amounts of design effort went into predicting where players would go, and how the level could communicate with the player. If you can't find somewhere new to go, you probably aren't paying attention. There will be some breadcrumb trail to follow; and if you don't like where that goes, backtrack to another trail.
Demon's Souls doesn't obey the contract
Demon's was the first crack at the genre, and they did an admirable job. But they also dropped the ball on some aspects. The brutal fairness is not fair in Demon's. Enemies can spam an attack forever. I have literally been killed by the 20th attack in a row from a gold skeleton. I was just stun locked enough that I could not move, and regenerating health slightly slower than he was doing damage. It was a farce.
Demon's also doesn't really spend as much time trying to let their levels indicate where you should go. The ability to give up on one area and try another is great, and the influence can be seen on Dark Souls open world. However, there is a lot more "I have been everywhere else, so it must be here" exploration instead of "what is that over there." This seems a bit less of an engaging approach to showing the way and I really appreciate the second (Dark Souls) approach.
Lastly, there are no "warning signs" in Demon's. The giant club wielders in 5-2 are not really a warning as they physically block the way you need to go. They are not avoidable. In a lot of cases, you will kill them when they get caught on geometry or you get lucky and don't accidentally roll into the swamp. There is no lesson here, there is just punishment. The backstabbers in 4-2 seem much more like a "warning" for your next attempt, but they are the exception, not the rule.
But you can climb! And fall off of more stuff!
This is an odd feature of Demon's Souls: you can actually climb stuff. There are so many chest-high-walls in Dark Souls that completely impede progress. It is a bit frustrating when your bad ass warrior, who can do a little running jump, cannot clamber over a small wall to literally save his life.
In Demon's Souls, the climbing is not implemented very well. You can climb back up onto some ledges, but only when it says so. As near as I can determine, you need to run into the small wall for some unknown number of seconds. You have to do so at exactly the right angle (not always a 90 degree angle) and running or walking may or may not be acceptable. Having your shield up prevents climbing. Small obstacles on the other side prevent climbing. I have never attempted this while in combat so I cannot comment on that front. It is just really hit or miss. I hope we have some clambering ability in Dark Souls 2, but that it is more reliable than in Demon's Souls.
As a trade-off, Demon's Souls gives you so many surfaces that look just as flat as other safe surfaces. Except you will suddenly slide off to your death. You need to memorize what pieces of floor are not safe. That isn't the game communicating with you; that is preparing for a boring exam. No thanks. There are almost no areas (I can think of) where you get that annoying slide-to-you-death trap. The exception would obviously be the crystal cave, but the threat of falling to your death at every step is pretty clearly communicated by the complete lack of visible floors. Shortly before the first time it comes into play.
Poise and Shield Stability are better
In Demon's Souls, the percent of damage you absorb with your shield, and the chance of being unbalanced are both determined by your Guard Break Reduction stat. This stat is pretty well fixed as only a few shields increase this value substantially when upgraded. So, basically there are a set of enemies that will always stagger you if you block their attack. The club-Giants and gold skeletons are good examples. The only consistently feasible option with these enemies is distance and evasion. Except, you will fight them in a swamp where evasion is eliminated, and on cliff tops where rolling is ridiculously dangerous. You are reduced to baiting them into small defensible areas where you can fight them. It just feels like you are being discouraged from fighting in the places the designers set for you to fight.
Dark Souls has the much better implementation where Poise determines if you are staggered by a hit. This value can be changed by the armour you choose to wear. The amount of stamina loss is determined separately by your Shield Stability. This gives much more flexibility in defensive options. For example: PRO TIP for NG+ and the Four Kings, get your Poise up in the high 80s, don't worry about being slow on your feet, double hand your favourite weapon, and wail away. The Kings won't be able to interrupt you so you can actually deal damage fast enough. Similarly, they won't interrupt you drinking from your flask so you can heal in peace.
Final Analysis
Demon's Souls is not "fair" in a lot of the design decisions. You have to memorize how to get through areas and how to cheaply kill large enemies. There is no communication to the player of "you died, but this is what you should have done." You cannot expect the enemies to be subject to the same rules of the world as you. The enemies, in effect, can cheat. So you feel compelled to cheat back. The levels don't give warning signs that a ledge will kill you. Too many attacks are simply unblockable. You can hope over a small wall and get the very important ring by Ostrava, but most people will do that because they read about it, not because it was a reasonable thing to try.
By contrast, Dark Souls wants you to learn. It leaves you signs, often visible by your fading corpse. It tells you when you are going the "wrong" way, although we often seem hell-bent on proving it wrong. The mechanics are much more predictable and apply to you and your foes. Dark Souls is a love letter to anyone interested in teaching through level design. It is constantly telling you things, you just have to pay attention. Demon's Souls, on the other hand, is just waiting for a momentary lapse so it can kill you cheaply. I like hard, I don't like unfair. So tell me, what do you like?
[EDIT] The title and contents of this post are intentionally a bit controversial. I would like to create a conversation. Bring your own opinions. Bring a fight. It's all good. Rational discussion often involves conflicting opinions and viewpoints, so bring it on!

Many kids received cell phones for Christmas and the increasing number of children using cell phones in Texas is raising red flags for state officials.
Tuesday, State Attorney General, Greg Abbott encouraged parents to buy and use tools that can help protect children from harmful content including preventing sexual predators from easily accessing your child's phone. The Attorney General says that it is just as big a concern with cell phones as it is when kids have access to a computer.
"It is a fact that child predators communicate with teens on devices like this, (a cell phone) trying to set them up so that they can sexually assault those teens," says Abbott.
Abbott wants the state of Texas to require sex offenders to register all electronic identification information that they have including e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.

For some teenage girls, the thrill of a lifetime might be sneaking backstage to meet Justin Bieber or One Direction. For Lyons Township sophomore Josie Dunne, it was Jake Shimabukuro.
"I think he's the best in the whole world," declares Dunne, 15.
The admiration is professional. Dunne, like Shimabukuro, has a unique choice of primary instrument: the ukulele, the diminutive Hawaiian string instrument popular in the 1920's that has enjoyed a bit of a renaissance since the 1990's with artists like Shimabukuro and Israel Kamakawiwo'ole.
Dunne happened upon her instrument by chance and necessity four years ago. "My hands are really small, and I couldn't fit them around a guitar when I was little," she explained. "So I got a ukulele instead, because it fit."
Today, Dunne is a frequent professional performer at local events in the La Grange area, from pool parties to baseball games. Also a talented singer, she travelled to Nashville and Atlanta over the summer to record samples, and hopes to move toward an EP or album as a long-term goal. She's already amassed a fair following, with over 1,000 Facebook 'likes.'
Her style is pop with jazz and R&B influences; a sampling of her cover songs includes hits by Amy Winehouse, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Presley, Jackson Browne and Justin Nozuka. Her tastes are self-described eclectic ("if you ask my friends, they'll be like 'don't play Josie's iPod, because it's got the weirdest stuff,'") and she plays the piano and guitar in addition to ukulele.
Recently, Dunne played for her biggest audience yet: a crowd of 30,000 at the Santa Anita racetrack, where she sang the national anthem (sans ukulele). The performance made TV.
But listeners can expect to hear those bouncy ukulele tones accompanying Dunne on plenty of her own music.
"I just love playing it," Dunne said. "It's just sounds so fun. It sounds happy, and people really like it when I play it at a big gig… It's just a unique-sounding instrument, so it's cool to say 'I play the ukulele."

Hey all,
Well I'm at my wits end with this one.
On some pages in my site I'm getting the "Error Saving Content" when I click "Save" or "Save and Publish"
Sometimes the problem is the words "from" or "select" appearing in the text. If I remove them it will save okay.
Sometimes the problem is an image I've inserted in the HTML content editor. If I remove the image it will save okay.
I get the errors "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://mysite.com/admin/EditForm"
And with the images I get this error "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://mysite.com/assets/resampled/resizedimage600423-myimage.jpg"
I have tried reinstalling uploadify and dataobject_manager
I have tried the line UploadifyField::disable_authentication() and that caused a fatal error even though I installed the latest version of uploadify
I have tried installing userforms
I have tried the line SecFilterEngine Off in htaccess but it causes a 500 error - I haven't asked the hosting company to change this for me because it was all working before so I don't think its the problem, does that make sense?
Can anyone please help with this
Okay so I got the hosting company to look at the SecFilterEngine and they fixed it. When I asked what the problem was they said:
"We can't know for sure but it seems what ever CMS or template you were using triggered modsec when you tried to save some text."
I'm not sure if this problem will repeat itself or not. Hopefully not.

FYI - Using Silverstripe 3, I was having a similar problem - my CMS was returning "Internal Server Error" whenever I try to save any page containing the words "select" and "from".
The root cause was a hosting problem. My provider was using a WAF (www.modsecurity.org) which was blocking the CMS HTTP Post based on the following pattern match:
The fix was for my hosting provider to whitelist my hostname and the CMS URI "/admin/pages/edit/EditForm".
BTW - A huge thankyou for the above post. This problem has been driving me nuts for ages. (My online documentation has lots of "Please select this item from this menu...".

From the first days of the Valley Royals, the philosophy of the Club has been to create a core of qualified, enthusiastic and skilled coaches whom the Club would support strongly in their coaching. Over the years, coaching has always been one of the strengths of the Valley Royals, with skilled coaches covering the spectrum of events in track & field.
From the club's beginning, Gerry Swan has served as the Royals head coach. Swan's philosophy mirrored those of founding President and current director Paul Anderson's in that he knew it was vital to assemble a group of certified assistant coaches that could, in a responsible manner, tap the potential of the athletes under their charge. The strength of the coaching staff is self evident as all of the Royal coaches have developed athletes that have been represented on BC and Canadian teams.
Current Valley Royals Coaches are listed below:
Gerry Swan is a Level 4 Certified Coach and has been involved with track and field for a very long time. During his career as a coach, Swan has developed more than 25-athletes that have represented Canada internationally and has served himself as a coach on a number of international teams. At present Swan serves as the coordinator of coaching for the Royals and assists Sue Northey during her group's training sessions.

LOS ANGELES — Premium pay TV channel Starz said Monday that it has renewed its agreement to carry movies from Sony Pictures through films hitting theaters in 2021. The deal, which was seen as a must-win for the channel, comes two months after Netflix snatched future Disney movies from Starz.
The deal will extend Sony's relationship with Starz by five years, giving the channel access to major Hollywood releases into the future. Disney movies released in 2016 and beyond will play on Netflix's streaming service instead of Starz.

Cell phones are now things we take for granted. Always in our hands and at the ready.But what happens if you don't have your phone, or if there's no signal?What happens when there is an emergency?It's a question some Effingham County leaders are now facing."911, what's your emergency?" "We just had a shooting at our school. We have to get out of here." That was February, 2012. A frightening 911 call just moments after a gunman opens fire inside Chardon High school in Ohio. 3 students are killed, 3 more injured. Dispatchers get minute by minute updates on what happens, all through a cell phone. But what would have happened if that person had no bars? With no calls, would more students have died? "You rehearse stuff in your mind all the time. What if this happens, what if that happens?" said Effingham County Deputy Bruce Battle.Effingham County Deputy Bruce Battle has spent 7 years inside Effingham County High School, protecting kids and keeping the peace. And he's been doing it all sometimes without the best communication."If it's in an area which is blocked in, some officers are like a hole in the wall," said Battle. "Technically you aren't getting out on anything."In several Effingham County Schools, cell phones just don't work, and sheriff's radios can also end up in the dark. "Anytime you get into some of these brick, metal buildings, we have issues with it," explained Effingham County Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie.Issues that Sheriff Jimmy McDuffie says he's been concerned about since he got into office."It would make it so much easier and cut down so much on one of the stress factors we have if something did happen at our schools," said the Sheriff.McDuffie would like to see BDA's or Bi-Directional Amplifier's put at each school to expand to signal and give radios and his school resource officers a boost.But those cost $1,000 or more. Multiply that by a dozens schools and budgets become an issue."It's a cost factor, and until that day comes, we will work around it like we always have," said McDuffie."If it's a priority, which it would be a priority of keeping our kids safe, I would think we would find the money if that's what's needed," explained Randy Shearhouse, Effingham County School Superintendent.Effingham Schools Superintendent Randy Shearhouse has his staff tuned in to the communication issues, and he wants to make sure parents know the whole truth."When you hear there is no communication you wonder well, what's going to happen?" said Shearhouse. "There are ways to communicate. We have at least 3 ways to schools as ways to get out.""If I change channels I can get the middle school next door, or the bus yard or buses on the route," pointed out Battle.With a sheriff's radio, school radio and cell phone on his hip, deputy battle always feels connected to the schools, and emergency services."Does it limit what you can do?" I asked the Deputy. "No. I don't see where it does," said Battle. "Somebody will get the word, even if I have to tell them to run."Effingham County High School Principal Yancy Ford's phone is another direct link to parents and safety officials. A text message can hit hundreds of numbers in seconds."My emergency number on the portal," Ford shows us. "That message will go out to everybody."A message that the Sheriff wants all parents to know."You are prepared in case something happens?" "We are prepared." "The communication issue is not an issue?" "We will deal with it and will get by."Even if communication is an issue, Effingham County Sheriff's aren't walking into any potentially dangerous school situation blind. For the last decade, The department has held an active shooter exercise every summer.Its designed to give deputies a hands on lesson in how to handle a crisis in any large building, not just schools.Effingham County Administrator David Crawley told News 3 he didn't know there was an issue with cell phone service in schools.But he said improvements they already improvements planned for the law enforcement radio system. That could cost as much as $2 million to bring the system up to date and end county dead zones.The County may have to add another tower in the future, which would cost another $1 million dollars.

Last October, just after my wife and I returned to St. George for what we thought would be a normal winter out of the cold, snow, and icy roads of northern Utah, we received an urgent call from her internist's nurse telling us we needed to see a nephrologist immediately. A routine blood test taken just before we left Salt Lake showed an abnormal level of protein and creatinine, among other markers. We made an appointment with a kidney specialist and a week later sat in his office as he looked at her lab numbers and told us that these numbers were consistent with a diagnosis of kidney failure and multiple myeloma. My wife's face fell in shock, and I reeled from the news. She had just had blood tests a few months before and all results from that test were normal. How could these abnormal markers come up out of nowhere?
I thought about blogging about our experience with this disease, but my wife asked me not to do so and the effort was just too much, just too heavy for me. Now that nearly six months have gone by, my wife is in remission from the myeloma and is about to be taken off dialysis. Her main problem now is that she has had excruciating sciatic pain from her hip down her leg and is basically immobile from that pain. I have had to learn to do the cooking, laundry, cleaning, vacuuming, grocery shopping, and any and all other household tasks to keep our home going in some kind of rational order. We are trying to schedule an appointment with another pain specialist to see if any relief is in sight.
Most of us have mixed feelings about going public with our personal illnesses, trials, and tribulations. Yet, any time we confront a crisis, we find that we are members of the select fraternity of people suffering from whatever malady we have. And there always seems to be some comfort in sharing experiences and bolstering each other's spirits. We have learned that the key is hope, the route is through countless prayers from countless friends and family, and that, somehow, we must keep going from day to day.
Throughout the coming days, I will recount the highlights of this six month odyssey into the spiraling darkness of multiple myeloma and our moment of sunshine, at least for the moment, from a remission, however temporary, in the hope that someone else may relate to this story and find some hope in their own situation.

A List Of Cool Games You Can Keep In Mind When Planning An Awesome Birthday Party
Both adults and children love playing games when it comes to birthday parties. You can find categories such as singing games, stunts, mental games, and contests. Birthday party games can be engaging, surprising, active, and stimulating, and the best part is at the end you will win a prize that you can take home with you.
Cotton Nose
After you and your guests play a couple rounds of this game, you will understand exactly why so many people love to play this funny game. All that you need to supply for the game is a large bowl of cotton balls and a jar of petroleum jelly. Your guests will need to be standing in a circle around a small table or a kitchen table. Apply a large amount of the petroleum jelly to each one of your participant's noses and hand the bowl of cotton balls to the person who will be going first. The player will need to plunge their face into the bowl only one time, with the attempt to get as many cotton balls stuck on there as possible. You will then pass the bowl around the circle until each person has played. At the end count the cotton balls on each player, and the one who has the most wins. Make sure you have some paper towels ready to clean up after the game is over.
Blind Sketching
Blind sketching is yet another game that is really fun and can be appropriate for any age group. You will need to supply enough washable markers, paper, prepared lists of 5 or more objects, and a bandanna to each one of the players. Some of the objects you can include on the list might be a saucer and cup, rake, car, flower and fork. Make it fun and find some simple objects that you can incorporate into the theme of your party, but don't select objects that are going to be a challenge to draw. Have your players look at the list for a few minutes without sharing any thoughts with any of the other players.
When you give the word, each person should blindfold themselves so they are unable to see their blank piece of paper. On their sheet of paper, the players will draw one of the objects that you provided on the list. When all guests have finished drawing all of the objects, each person will hold up their drawings while the others try to guess what they have drawn. The player who has the largest amount of drawings guessed right will be the winner.
Great Balloon Battle
This game is sure to please anyone that is attending your party. Divide up your guests into four separate teams and supply each team with one colour of balloons different from the others. Each player will receive only one balloon and a piece of construction paper that will work as a fan. The teams will stand on each corner of the square area for playing, one team on one side of the area. When you give the signal, all the players will run into the middle of the area and start tossing their balloons into the air. Each team will try to keep their own balloons up in the air while they fan their paddle to knock out the other balloons of the other teams.
A referee will need to gather all of the balloons that are knocked onto the ground and place them out of the playing area. The team that has the most balloons still in play when the rest have been knocked out will be the winners.
It's not challenging to find great games that children will love to play along with the adults. Make sure that you provide all of the necessary equipment and supplies that will make game playing easier on them.
This article, written by Camia Sidle, lists three fun games that can be played at a child's birthday party. At Birthday Planet, all children can find fun games that they would like to incorporate into their parties. Along with supplies and game instructions, parents can find ease when searching for the right games to play with the participants of the party.

Our World
Best Buy is committed to making a positive impact in the communities we serve – on the people as well as the environment. We focus on providing teens opportunities to develop technology skills that inspire future education and career choices, and employees give their time and their finances to support initiatives important to them. We also support initiatives that help make our operations sustainable.
In honor of Earth Day this year, Best Buy helped create awareness around its recycling programs and, like the iconic "I voted" sticker voters proudly wear, customers who recycled received "I recycled" stickers of their own.
Gina Youse, General Manager at Store #1478 (Mechanicsburg, Penn.) said that accepting consumers' electronics for recycling at our stores is an important service to the community. Local townships even have Best Buy listed on their websites as the place to recycle electronics. "We, on average, get about three to four pallets a day," Gina said. "We thank our customers for recycling, and they seemed to have a sense of pride when we handed the sticker to them. It makes them feel good!"
